Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Of course, Ye Chen could condense a soul core even without a 100,000-year-old snow lotus.

However, with the assistance of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, the condensed soul core will be more powerful and easier to form.

The larger the size of the soul core when it is first condensed, the stronger it will be.

However, the larger the soul core, the more difficult it is to fuse.

With the aid of a 100,000-year-old snow lotus, the difficulty can be greatly reduced.

Just like an English exam, Ye Chen could easily pass on his own.

However, with the help of a mobile phone, Ye Chen could not only pass, but also achieve perfection.

The 100,000-year-old snow lotus was Ye Chen's aid; using it to enhance cultivation was a waste of its potential. It could only truly be used to condense a soul core.

Inside the quiet ice cave, the chill was palpable.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged and took out the 100,000-year-old snow lotus that emitted a hazy blue light from the jade box.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the rare treasure containing a vast amount of extremely cold essence in a few bites.

The snow lotus melted instantly upon entering his mouth, unleashing a violent cold current far exceeding Ye Chen's expectations.

This power was incredibly domineering, like a runaway ice dragon rampaging through his body.

Although the effects of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus are comparable to those of immortal herbs, its domineering extreme attributes make it impossible for non-ultimate Ice Soul Masters to absorb it.

Even for a master of the highest level of Ice Soul, such a simple ingestion could cause a low level of cultivation to be instantly shattered by the violent power, turning into ice shards.

Ye Chen is not only an ultimate Ice Soul Master, but his physique is also incredibly strong.

Powerful energy surged within Ye Chen's body, but it could not shake him in the slightest. All the energy was firmly locked within every inch of Ye Chen's physical body.

Ye Chen did not intend to consume this energy, but rather to use it as a catalyst for condensing his soul core.

Ye Chen focused intently as he slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upwards.

With his movements, a highly viscous soul force, shimmering with an icy luster like liquid mercury, was carefully guided out of his body under the exquisite control of his Spirit Realm mental power!
The moment this mass of liquid soul power appeared, the temperature of the entire ice cave plummeted as if it had been plunged into an abyss of absolute zero!
Even the free water molecules in the air were instantly frozen into fine ice dust, forming a hazy blue mist.

Ye Chen's soul power had already reached a liquid state, and was extremely viscous, like melted sugar water.

The soul power gradually increased and slowly rotated in Ye Chen's hand. As Ye Chen poured in his soul power, it quickly condensed into a small ball.

The small ball had a distinct pale blue halo around it, which was Ye Chen's powerful mental energy, firmly binding these soul forces.

If an ordinary Soul Master releases their Soul Power without using Soul Skills, the final result is that the Soul Power will quickly vaporize and eventually dissipate into the air.

Under Ye Chen's control, not only did none of these leak out, but they also began to slowly compress.

The liquid soul power gradually became more and more viscous, and its rotation speed also increased.

Under the powerful constraint of the spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm, it is being squeezed inwards at an alarming rate, its volume shrinking at a visible speed.

The liquid soul power transformed into a solid state, and Ye Chen continued to inject soul power, compressing it once more...

Soon, the solid sphere of soul power took shape completely, even transforming into the shape of a small funnel.

"boom--"

As the funnel appeared, an incredibly terrifying suction force suddenly spread out, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several hundred meters seemed to go mad as it gathered towards the soul core in Ye Chen's palm!
Not only was it absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, but this funnel was also constantly drawing away Ye Chen's soul power.

However, with the help of the 100,000-year-old snow lotus, Ye Chen's soul power seemed inexhaustible, constantly gathering towards the soul core in his palm. The ice elements within the ice cave instantly became violent; countless tiny ice crystals in the air no longer drifted, but instead, as if summoned by a king, transformed into visible streams of blue ice, frantically hurling themselves towards the rapidly spinning and constantly condensing energy core in Ye Chen's palm!

"So this is the Soul Core? It doesn't seem that difficult..."

Ye Chen discovered that, perhaps due to his overwhelming mental strength, coupled with the enhancements from the system's various attributes and his own inherent power, condensing a soul core was virtually effortless for him...

In particular, the 100,000-year-old snow lotus within his body continuously provides him with energy, making him exceptionally adept at condensing his soul core.

"It seems that I am now far superior to Huo Yuhao, who had the same cultivation level in the original story," Ye Chen thought to himself.

Of course, Huo Yuhao tried to condense a soul core when he was a Soul Saint. Although he succeeded in the end, it seemed to be extremely difficult and he also needed the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Ye Chen was able to handle it all by himself, as if it were a natural process.

"Whizzing--"

Just then, two streaks of light flashed and instantly appeared in the cave; they were none other than the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

Ice Emperor was originally snuggling up to Snow Emperor and continuing to instill some strange ideas in her when she suddenly noticed that Ye Chen's spiritual sea was trembling violently and that the soul power within Ye Chen's body was also becoming agitated.

The two thought Ye Chen had been attacked by some kind of soul beast, so they quickly emerged from Ye Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, when the two saw what Ye Chen was doing at that moment, they were both stunned.

"This is……"

"He is condensing a soul core!"

Hyotei and Yuki-tei both exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you crazy! He's just a Soul Saint! A Soul Saint trying to condense a Soul Core, and he..." Xue Di was immediately annoyed!
She and Hyotei both followed this path, and since they both possessed soul cores, they naturally knew the risks involved.

It doesn't matter if Ye Chen dies, but she and Bing Di are bound to Ye Chen by life and death. If something happens to Ye Chen, she and Bing Di will both be buried with him!

"Snow Empress, don't worry. Since Ye Chen has chosen to try to condense a soul core, he must be absolutely confident."

Hyotei quickly took Yuki-tei's small hand and comforted her.

She was actually startled, but based on her understanding of Ye Chen, he was definitely not the kind of person who would act rashly.

Since Ye Chen chose to do this, he must have been absolutely certain of success.

Sure enough, after calming down, Xue Di also noticed something was wrong.

Because Ye Chen had it too easy.

The solidified soul power in Ye Chen's hand had reached the size of an egg. With such a strong soul core, it would be extremely difficult to control, even for ordinary Title Douluo.

Ye Chen, however, remained calm, seemingly feeling no pressure whatsoever.

Both Hyotei and Yuki-tei stepped back a distance to avoid disturbing Ye Chen.

Both women stared intently at Ye Chen and the soul core in his hand, their hearts clenching with anxiety.

Although Ye Chen looked relaxed, such a massive amount of soul power, if it were to explode accidentally, would truly mean utter destruction...
