Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 132 The Theory of Soul Core Incorporation into Martial Soul

Ling Qianyao's fourth soul skill, Thousand Star Rain, is different from his other soul skills. It has no auxiliary ability and is a pure offensive soul skill.

Even under normal circumstances, its power is comparable to that of a high-level offensive Soul King.

When Qian Daoliu combined his self-created 'Seven Star Instant Kill' with Ling Qianyao's understanding of the Star Sword Intent, the power of this skill allowed him to unleash his full strength to the level of a 67th-level Soul Emperor.

The 50% bonus to all attributes and 70% speed increase brought by the Starfall Wings pushed the power of this instant to a terrifying level.

The threshold for single-target damage is sufficient to threaten a Soul Saint.

Even with Qian Daoliu's strength, even if Ling Qianyao increased his single-target damage to this level, it would be impossible for him to be forced to use his martial soul and soul ring directly.

However, Qian Daoliu was suppressing his strength at this moment, and he only wanted to see where Ling Qianyao's limit was. So when the overwhelming rain of a thousand stars, carrying the sharp sword intent of "Seven Star Instant Kill", swept towards him like a cascading Milky Way,
The holy light surrounding Qian Daoliu suddenly solidified, and six pure white wings extended behind him. A terrifying array of eight black and one red soul rings pulsed around him, with the scarlet 100,000-year soul ring radiating a chilling aura.

The seven stars had already passed the star trail, and countless starlight points were now before Qian Daoliu's eyes. Time seemed to slow down. Qian Daoliu looked at Ling Qianyao, who was so close at hand, and smiled slightly, saying softly:
"You pass." One of his spirit rings lit up.

"Om~"

As Qian Daoliu finished speaking, a gentle yet powerful force surged from his body, neutralizing Ling Qianyao's "Thousand Star Rain - Seven Star Instant Kill" attack.

Ling Qianyao felt a warm current flow into his body, and his body, which was somewhat tired from the all-out attack, instantly regained some strength.

Above the seven stars, the star marks that were about to erupt gradually calmed down under the soothing power of Qian Daoliu, and their light gradually subsided.

The star curtain dissipated, revealing the figures of the two who had already put away their martial spirits.

Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing arrived instantly. The two carefully examined Ling Qianyao. Qian Renxue didn't care at all that there were people present. She touched Ling Qianyao all over, as if she was afraid that the trial just now had hurt him in the slightest.

He muttered to himself, "Grandpa, really! That soul power fluctuation just now must have been from releasing a martial soul and soul skill. Qian Yao is just a Soul Master, there's no need for that."

Qian Daoliu's lips twitched. Judging from this, should he just withstand Ling Qianyao's attack without responding and let that kid hurt him instead?
You dared to lay your hands on him right in front of me! If I weren't here, you wouldn't even dare to imagine how close you and this brat would be! I'm truly grateful you didn't bring back a great-granddaughter today!
He glared at Qian Renxue with annoyance, "You're always siding with outsiders. If Grandpa doesn't use some methods, how can he test this kid's limits? Besides, Grandpa has been in control of the situation the whole time."

Qian Renxue blushed, coughed twice, and stopped what she was doing. "No, actually I'm quite worried about Grandpa too."

"What are you worried about?" Qian Daoliu shook his head. His own cabbage had finally been almost completely taken, and his heart was now entirely devoted to this brat.

Ling Qianyao stepped forward at this moment, "Thank you for your mercy, Grandpa."

Qian Daoliu blushed. To be honest, he hadn't held back at all. When Ling Qianyao released his third soul skill, he had already subtly increased his speed and had unleashed his full power suppression countless times throughout the fight.

Fortunately, Ling Qianyao's star screen provided cover; otherwise, if Qian Renxue had seen Qian Daoliu constantly adding points to Deep Blue, he might have been scolded by her.

Waving his hand, Qian Daoliu asked, "Your soul power is unusually solid, far beyond what ordinary soul masters can achieve. There is already some liquid in the gaseous state, which means you are compressing your soul power."

This kind of cultivation method, while it can solidify your foundation and make you far stronger than others of the same level, also carries considerable risks. If not properly controlled, it can backfire. Are you sure you can maintain a balance?

Ling Qianyao nodded. "I once consumed a magical herb, which gave me a completely new understanding of the fusion and application of spiritual power and soul power."

I can use my mental energy as threads to precisely control my soul power, weaving an energy network at the microscopic level, which can avoid spatial oscillations caused by conventional compression.

The soul power within a soul beast with over ten thousand years of cultivation is inherently different from that of a human. Their physical strength often surpasses that of humans, allowing their soul power to exhibit a liquefied or even solidified texture. This is one reason why soul beasts, after ten thousand years of cultivation, frequently surpass the strength of soul masters. This situation only gradually changes after soul masters reach the Soul Saint level.

Grandpa, have you ever wondered where the soul bones produced by soul beasts come from?

Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and Zhu Zhuqing were all taken aback. Where did the soul bone originate? It seemed that no one had ever really studied this question in detail.

After pondering for a moment, Qian Daoliu said, "In the course of their long lives, soul beasts continuously fuse and refine their soul power with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, eventually condensing it into crystals within their bones."

Ling Qianyao smiled and said, "Perhaps, I am more inclined to believe that it is a skeleton formed by the fusion of the ultimate solid soul power and its own original laws."

Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered slightly. "So, you want to compress and condense this solid soul power within your body? I must say, you are very bold, but if you succeed on this path, I'm afraid there will be no one of your kind who can even stand a chance against you."

"Grandpa, why don't you take a look at the condition of my dantian?"

"Oh?"

Qian Daoliu placed his hand on Ling Qianyao's shoulder, and a gentle surge of soul power flowed down his arm into Ling Qianyao's body, heading straight for his dantian.

When that soul power touched Ling Qianyao's dantian, Qian Daoliu's expression instantly became solemn, and his eyes showed shock.

"How strange."

He couldn't help but murmur to himself. Within Ling Qianyao's dantian, the liquid star vortex was slowly rotating, like a mysterious core, silently gathering power.

The surrounding soul power compressed towards the center, gradually turning into a liquid state, while at the very center was Ling Qianyao's unique star power.

In the battle just now, Ling Qianyao released four soul skills and his self-created soul skill in succession. Qian Daoliu originally thought that his soul power must have been consumed in a lot.

It seems that Ling Qianyao's soul power is still abundant, and the speed at which he absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish it is astonishing.

Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed, and he gathered a point of soul power in his palm, imitating Ling Qianyao's liquid star vortex. He gradually compressed it, and the soul power spun like a vortex, spinning faster and faster. The surrounding air was distorted and whistled.

As the rotation intensifies, the soul power gradually condenses into a sphere, the surface of which is covered with fine patterns.

Inside, the soul forces collided and compressed against each other, producing a muffled roar. At the same time, this sphere of soul force generated a terrifying suction force, pulling everything around it toward its center.

In a moment, it collapsed, becoming very small, like a black hole.

"Bang - boom -"

Qian Daoliu suddenly clenched his fist and crushed the out-of-control soul power. In an instant, a wave surged forth, forcing the three people around him back several steps.

"What a brilliant new path! It deserves to be at the forefront of martial spirit theory!"

He looked at Ling Qianyao and said, "There are many prerequisites for cultivation, but a mental energy guidance method is the most important. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me. What do you think it should be called after it is completed?"

Ling Qianyao said seriously, "Soul Core."
