Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Shi Yi looked at Bibi Dong who was fighting with the golden scepter in her hand and thought to herself, "If I want to make ordinary weapons work like divine weapons in my hands, I can only use my soul power. But what should I do if I can't gain an advantage with my soul power when I meet an opponent like Qian Renxue?"

Recalling the time when Qian Renxue held the holy sword forged by sacred fire, Shi Yi's eyes suddenly showed a glimmer of enlightenment.

"Yes, there are extreme attributes, and soul power naturally has qualitative differences. Logically speaking, the physical strength of these three Thousand-pound Ant Kings can be said to be geometric multiples of Aunt Dong, but Aunt Dong uses her own huge and high-quality soul power to suppress the Thousand-pound Ant King with just a symbolic scepter."

Shi Yi kept thinking in his heart, and the divine weapons such as the Trident of Poseidon, the Holy Sword of Angels, the Scythe of Rakshasa, and the Shura Demon Sword appeared in his mind.

"Even divine weapons are not born naturally. Even before Seagod became a god, the trident in his hand felt like a harpoon. Tang San obtained Seagod's trident, but in fact he was just borrowing Seagod's power."

"If you want to improve the quality of your soul power, there is obviously only one way, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, but when the quantity is limited, the only way to produce qualitative change is compression."

"Xiao Yi, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Zhuqing beside him asked softly.

Shi Yi shook his head slightly and said to Zhu Zhuqing: "Zhu Qing, watch carefully. You can still learn a lot from the battles of our predecessors."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded seriously and her eyes slowly fell on Bibi Dong and the other two.

Jue and Gui worked in perfect harmony and intercepted two Thousand King Ants. Under their intentional control, the battlefield between the other two Thousand King Ants and Jue and Gui moved farther and farther away from Bibi Dong and the lone Thousand King Ant.

This is a tactic often used in hunting soul beasts. Not only does it allow Bibi Dong to cripple the soul beast more smoothly, it also allows Shi Yi to safely absorb the soul ring and even effectively prevent the soul beast from self-destructing.

Soul beasts that have reached this age are no less intelligent than humans. The fact that these three soul beasts can live together for such a long time must mean that there is affection between them. Driving the other two far away can effectively prevent the soul beasts from self-destructing due to emotional excitement.

After practicing to this level, even soul beasts will not give up their lives at will. What Yue Guan and Gui Mei did just gave the soul beasts the opportunity to give up.

The other Qianjun Ant was abandoned by its companions under the design of Yueguan and Guimei.

This Thousand Jun Ant faced Bibi Dong, who was a level 97 Super Douluo. It could be said that it was almost constantly pressed to the ground and rubbed by Bibi Dong, but because of its extremely hard exoskeleton, it managed to hold on until now.

Bibi Dong also realized this and instantly released her soul skills.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Eternal Creation."

Two giant sickles formed by energy were raised at the same time, slashing out at an angle and creating a huge green fork-shaped light blade that instantly pierced through the Thousand-Jun Ant King. The hard exoskeleton was like a piece of paper in front of this domineering soul skill.

With just one strike, the huge green forked light blade instantly and accurately cut off all the limbs of the Thousand Ant King.

"A bug-level skill. Physical defense is ineffective and energy defense is reduced by 50 percent." Shi Yi recalled the introduction of this skill in his mind. It could even shatter the invincible golden body of the Soft Bone Rabbit.

Shi Yi also didn't know what kind of soul beast could display such a miraculous skill. Shi Yi believed that the sixth soul skill of the second martial soul was most likely a skill granted by the god-given soul ring. At least among the soul beasts Shi Yi knew, no other soul beast could display this skill. Even a soul skill of a hundred thousand year level might not be stronger than this sixth soul skill.

Just as Shi Yi was lost in thought, Bibi Dong's voice rang in his ears, "You can come and collect its spirit ring now."

Shi Yi came back to his senses and hurried to Bibi Dong's side. Bibi Dong gave Shi Yi a look, indicating that he could take action.

Shi Yi took out his carving knife from his soul guide. In an instant, the carving knife flew out of his hand and shot towards one of the eyes of the Qianjun Ant King.

As the carving knife penetrated through the Qianjun Ant King's eyes and brain, the Qianjun Ant King let out a shrill roar, looking at Shi Yi's other intact eye with resentment and unwillingness. It has been practicing for so long and is not far from becoming a hundred thousand year soul beast. Even the two hundred thousand year soul beasts in the central lake can't do anything to the three brothers.

It seemed that it sensed Shi Yi's cultivation, which it did not think was strong. There was a hint of mockery in its eyes amidst the resentment and unwillingness. It did not seem that it believed that Shi Yi could successfully absorb its soul ring.

As the Thousand Jun Ant King's eyes lost their luster, soon, a powerful soul power wave surged out from the Thousand Jun Ant King's body. Looking at the soul ring that was as black as ink with a faint red color in the black, a hint of anticipation flashed through Shi Yi's heart. It just so happened that he wanted to try out some of the things he had just realized.

Shi Yi sat cross-legged and used his own breath to attract the soul ring. The black halo came above Xiao Yi's head. Without giving it any chance to react, the black halo suddenly shrank and became a bracelet-sized, extremely solid golden ring that fell directly onto Xiao Yi's body.

In an instant, a powerful aura burst out from the little ant. The strong fluctuations of soul power made the earth tremble, and the ground around the little ant began to crack.

A powerful soul power wave suddenly burst out, and a hot energy rushed into Shi Yi's body. In an instant, Shi Yi's internal organs were burning. His body couldn't help but tremble violently.

At this time, Shi Yi also hurriedly activated the Zhengqi Meridian to digest the influx of soul power through the rapid circulation of soul power.

An unfamiliar emotion hit his mind, and Shi Yi could even feel the contempt of the Thousand-Jun Ant King.

"A grain of rice can also shine. When it comes to spiritual power compared to humans, don't say you don't have 100,000 years. Even if you do, you can only become my spirit ring today!"

"Killing God Realm!"

In an instant, Shi Yi, who was sitting there, exuded an astonishing murderous aura.

Shi Yi controlled his internal energy and started to operate rapidly. The energy brought by the Thousand-Jun Ant King Soul Ring was like waves sweeping over Shi Yi's body, trying to disrupt the operation of Shi Yi's internal energy with its powerful impact force.

"I'm afraid your soul power is not enough for me to compress it. All rivers flow into the sea." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Then Shi Yi took his Dantian as the center and did two things at once. On the one hand, he continuously strengthened the rapid operation of his internal energy, and on the other hand, he continuously compressed his soul power with his Dantian as the center.

Bibi Dong in the outside world looked at Shi Yi with emotion. She raised her fingertips and a hint of blue emerged, but it quickly disappeared. She couldn't help but say to herself, "What a magical technique. Even some of the soul power I released was drawn by the vortex in his body. It can turn other soul masters' soul power into nothing. It's a skill worth developing." As Shi Yi continued to compress his soul power in his body, Shi Yi could clearly feel that after the soul power in his dantian was compressed, as the quality of his soul power improved, he absorbed the free energy between the surrounding heaven and earth faster.

Shi Yi mobilized all his soul power, continuously compressing it and gathering it towards his dantian. The massive energy impact of the Thousand Jun Ant King not only did not affect Shi Yi, but instead gradually gathered towards his dantian.

The center of Shi Yi's Dantian turned into a blue ocean under the compression of Shi Yi's soul power. At this time, Shi Yi's spirit was like an invisible hand, and the rapid operation of the skills was like stirring in this blue ocean. As the speed of the soul power flowing in the Dantian continued to increase, Shi Yi also found that his Dantian seemed to have turned into a black hole. He could feel that the speed of absorbing external energy was still increasing.

Having such a speed of soul power flowing in the body is extremely dangerous for ordinary soul masters, but Shi Yi's body is even stronger than he imagined. With such a speed of flow and the soul power being extremely full and constantly increasing in size, the meridians in Shi Yi's body are like cast steel, with only slight signs of expansion.

"The soul power is flowing too fast, and it becomes difficult to compress it." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Then, Shi Yi started from his Dantian under the extremely fast flow of soul power, and tried hard to squeeze the soul power. Under Shi Yi's squeezing, Shi Yi found that the soul power in Dantian not only did not slow down the flow rate due to the compression of soul power, but the flow rate became faster under the continuous squeezing, and this speed was still rising, quickly condensing into substance. Shi Yi could see the blue center in Dantian, and a bit of deep blue was slowly expanding.

"What is this?" Shi Yi felt the deep blue in his body and was quite surprised.

Everything seemed to be a natural progression. As time went by, Shi Yi discovered that the little bit of deep blue was actually growing bigger.

Suddenly Shi Yi thought of something, and feeling the gradually growing Deep Blue, he asked in disbelief: "Soul core?"

The deep blue in the spiritual perception was expanding at a rapid speed. It was now the size of a longan, and the speed of the circulation of his soul power was still increasing.

At this time Shi Yi also understood something. If the thing in his body was really a soul core, then the essence of the soul core was like adding a small controllable black hole to the soul master's body. It could not only improve the quality of the soul master's soul power, but also had extremely amazing efficiency in output and absorption.

Bibi Dong in the outside world felt that Shi Yi's soul power was gradually entering a state of steady improvement and couldn't help but show surprise. The last time Shi Yi absorbed the soul ring, there were at least some signs of risk, but this time there was no abnormality in the absorption, and it seemed that he even had some strength left.

"A 90,000-year spirit ring can no longer satisfy this child's body." Bibi Dong said secretly in her heart.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but under Shi Yi's introspection, he saw that the soul core in his dantian had become about the size of an egg. The blue soul core was like a star and the surrounding soul power was as dense as a nebula, rotating around the soul core and gradually stabilizing.

Shi Yi released his control and watched the soul core automatically operating in his dantian. He felt nothing unusual and was delighted. After feeling it carefully, Shi Yi could clearly feel that the soul power in his body was much fuller than before, and the quality of his soul power was also greatly improved.

"Is this thing done? The soul core should also have a size." Shi Yi murmured in his heart.

In his opinion, his control over his soul power is far from reaching its peak level. Theoretically, the smaller this soul core should be, the better. Small but solid, it proves that his control over his soul power has reached an extremely high level.

In this day and age, the concept of soul core is far from being introduced, and Shi Yi doesn't know what the specific standards of soul core are?
"Huo Gua only succeeded in condensing his soul core when he reached the Soul Saint level, right? What is this thing of mine? A planet?" Shi Yi wondered in his heart.

Shi Yi felt the planet-like thing in his dantian, and the soul power surrounding it was like a nebula.

"Forget it. No one has a soul core now, so I can only cross the river by feeling the stones. Anyway, there is no abnormality at the moment. However, according to Huo Gua's level, this soul core should still not be enough. Even Huo Gua succeeded when he reached the Soul Saint level. My current level is still some distance away from Huo Gua, who is at the Soul Saint level." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

As his soul power gradually stabilized, Shi Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Shi Yi open his eyes, Bibi Dong was also surprised. A spirit ring of this age would take a while to digest even for a normal Titled Douluo. She didn't know why Shi Yi had successfully absorbed it so quickly.

Shi Yi did not say anything. Instead, he summoned the little ant out and let it have a good meal.

"How do you feel?" Zhu Zhuqing, who was not far away, asked softly with concern.

"It was absorbed so quickly, so there must be no problem. Even the two seniors haven't come back yet." Shi Yi himself was a little surprised.

"The soul power in your body circulates very quickly. Even I, a Titled Douluo, am not as good as you when it comes to releasing my large-scale soul skills. I did some experiments just now. I released some soul power and just by standing next to you, the soul power quickly dissipated. This ability to transform soul power into nothingness is very useful. If it can be applied in actual combat, it will be like the sacred dissolution of the six-winged angel. You should have felt it too." Bibi Dong said to Shi Yi.

Shi Yi's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and he asked in disbelief, "Are you saying that the speed at which my soul power circulates is fast enough to affect your soul power?"

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you feel it?"

"Then it shouldn't just be melting..." Shi Yi murmured.

As if he had thought of something, Shi Yi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said softly: "Zhuqing, use your soul power to form a light blade to attack me and see."

Zhu Zhuqing did not ask any more questions and summoned her own martial soul. The fourth soul ring lit up: "Fourth soul skill, Netherworld Slash."

Shi Yi caught Zhu Zhuqing's hand in an instant, and used his powerful soul power to control the crane and capture the dragon. The hand with the purple light blade was instantly restrained by an invisible force.

Shi Yi also used his internal energy and adjusted it to maximum power. In an instant, the soul core in his body began to operate rapidly. Under Shi Yi's delighted eyes, the purple light blade in Zhu Zhuqing's hand instantly dissipated.

"Have I mastered the Bei Ming Divine Art?" Shi Yi said secretly in his heart, feeling the extra soul power in his body.

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up when she saw this scene. She also saw a clue from it. Shi Yi's ability was not to dissolve like an angel, but to absorb.
