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

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Hyotei hesitated for a moment.

Because she knew Ye Chen's escape methods, but after condensing the soul core, she still had to absorb and fuse it in the end!

Fusion with a soul core is the most dangerous!
"Ye Chen, you don't understand anything. You have no idea how difficult it is to condense a second soul core!"

Xue Di was still somewhat worried, and frowned as she asked, "You humans have so many Title Douluos, but how many of them can reach the Limit Douluo level?"

"Condensing a second soul core is the process of a Super Douluo advancing to a Limit Douluo, and its difficulty is definitely beyond your current strength to overcome!"

The Snow Empress knew this so clearly because she had tried to condense a second soul core, but unfortunately failed.

Even with her strength and talent, she couldn't condense a second spirit ring, let alone Ye Chen.

"Snow Empress, that's because your spiritual power is insufficient. My spiritual power has reached the peak of the Spirit Realm, and my control over soul power is even more precise than yours at its peak. We are different."

Ye Chen smiled slightly.

It wasn't that he looked down on Xue Di.

Rather, it was because he had cheated; Xue Di naturally couldn't compare to him.

In particular, the soul essence of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King was absorbed by him, and with the attribute enhancement from the system, Ye Chen's mental power was directly maxed out.

Whether it's comprehension, talent, or luck, Ye Chen is among the top tier in this world.

Ye Chen knew that condensing a second soul core was difficult and risky, but he still had full confidence in himself.

"Late stage of the Spirit Realm, what is the Spirit Realm?"

Xue Di was somewhat bewildered.

The classification of spiritual power was only formally established during the Legend of the Dragon King period. At that time, there was no accurate classification, and even the Snow Empress was not very clear about it.

Ye Chen didn't speak, but instead released his mental energy completely.

"boom--"

The terrifying mental energy instantly swept through the entire cave, but under Ye Chen's precise control, not a single trace of it escaped.

"How can it be!!!"

When Xue Di sensed the spiritual power emanating from Ye Chen, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart was filled with shock!
Such terrifying mental strength was something even she couldn't match in her prime.

Although she lived a long time, neither soul beasts nor humans had a method for cultivating spiritual power. Apart from soul beasts and soul masters with spiritual power, the only way to increase spiritual power was through the accumulation of time.

In theory, the longer a soul beast lives, the stronger its spiritual power becomes.

But she has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and she believes that her mental strength at her peak far surpasses that of any human soul master.

Unless one is a Limit Douluo of the mental type, it is impossible for any human Soul Master to have stronger mental power than her.

However, in human history, there has never been a Limit Douluo with a mental ability.

Let alone a Limit Douluo of the mental type, there has never been a Super Douluo of the mental type!

But Ye Chen is just a Soul Saint...

How could his mental strength be so terrifyingly powerful...?

"Ye Chen, you're not a spirit-type soul master, you..."

Hyotei was also somewhat bewildered.

Although they usually reside within Ye Chen's spiritual sea, Ye Chen's spiritual sea is only slightly larger in appearance.

I never expected that it would contain such terrifying spiritual power.

Clearly, Ye Chen was deliberately concealing the fluctuations in his spiritual sea so that they wouldn't discover them!

Ye Chen is such a good hider!
"Alright, now you should believe me, right?"

Ye Chen gave Ice Emperor a reassuring look, then ignored the two women's shock and began to adjust his state to condense his second soul core.

According to the theories of this period, there are two methods for obtaining a second soul core.

One type is the "resonance soul core," which involves adjusting the frequency of the second soul core to match that of the first soul core, so that the two soul cores become a whole and rotate together.

This method is much simpler; as long as you keep trying, you can succeed. For example, Xuanzi, Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui, and others all used this method.

The second method is the "Yin-Yang complementary soul core", which means that the second soul core rotates in completely different directions from the first soul core to form a complementary soul core that complements each other.

This method is extremely difficult, but if it succeeds, its potential is unimaginable, and it will become incredibly powerful.

Di Tian used the second method.

Furthermore, Di Tian possesses a third "spatial soul core".

Utilizing the third spatial soul core, in addition to the three main soul cores, Di Tian's body also contains countless "black holes," which are sub-soul cores.

This is also the main reason why Di Tian is so powerful. Ye Chen's understanding of spatial rules is still lacking, so he doesn't plan to try for a third soul core for the time being.

However, Ye Chen was still very confident in condensing a second spiritual core.

The ease with which Ye Chen condensed his first soul core made him increasingly adept at the process. Even though the second soul core was more difficult, it only put a tiny bit of pressure on Ye Chen.

Having made up his mind, Ye Chen no longer hesitated.

He closed his eyes again and took a deep breath.

This time, what emanated from him was not an aura of coldness, but an invisible spiritual power as vast as the ocean.

The spiritual power of the late-stage Spirit Realm instantly enveloped the entire ice cave, forming an absolutely stable spiritual domain that isolated the inside from the outside.

With intense concentration, he mobilized liquid soul power to condense outside his body.

Ye Chen only consumed a little over 40% of his soul power to condense his first soul core; a large amount of soul power in his body had not yet been converted into a soul core.

At this moment, the remaining liquid soul power surged out of his body and gathered in front of Ye Chen.

The mental power was like an invisible giant millstone, and it began to suppress the soul power the moment it surged out!

Under the invisible spiritual force field, the air seemed to distort slightly, and the light bent slightly.

Compression began, and Ye Chen handled it with ease, just like always!

A powerful mental force continuously acts upon it.

The vortex spun faster and faster, and its volume began to shrink under the intense mental pressure.

With each compression, Ye Chen could clearly feel the intense repulsion emanating from the soul power core increase several times over.

This sense of repulsion is more pronounced and stronger than when ice cores are condensed!

However, he remained calm, having already gained experience and was quite adept at it.

The most important factor here is the influence of the first soul core.

The soul core has extremely strong gravity, and the first soul core causes a great deal of interference during the process of condensing the second soul core.

This is also the biggest challenge of the Yin-Yang complementary soul core.

Only Ye Chen's strong mental power allowed him to do it so easily.

However, as Ye Chen continued to pour his mental energy into him, he also felt a little bit of pressure.

It's like suddenly increasing the weight from 1kg to 10kg; the feeling is very noticeable, but it's harmless to Ye Chen.

Everything is under control.

Om-!
The rotating and compressed soul power core emitted a muffled mental hum!

The core volume suddenly paused, then accelerated its inward collapse, instantly shrinking to the size of a slightly larger fist.

At this moment, the core was no longer a transparent vortex of soul power, but rather a liquid sphere like mercury, emitting a faint silver-gray halo and filled with an astonishing sense of density.

In that instant, Ye Chen keenly seized the critical moment, and his massive soul power had already been unleashed to the fullest extent!

boom!
It was as if an invisible boundary had been shattered in an instant!
The spiritual energy that originally flowed within the core suddenly erupted, completely dominating the core's essence—the spiritual attribute!
A powerful mental fluctuation swept out like an invisible storm!
The surface of the liquid, silvery-gray sphere was instantly covered with a deep, dark light, as if it could absorb all the light around it!
"Kakaka-"

Countless tiny black spatial cracks appeared and disappeared like a spider web.

A prototype of a spiritual black hole, purely composed of compressed soul power and with spiritual power as its core essence, was born.

"Congeal!"

Ye Chen seized the moment when the transformation was complete.

The immense spiritual power was no longer held back, transforming into countless fine spiritual threads that firmly enveloped and guided the newly born core, which exuded a heart-palpitating, devouring aura.

"Suck!"

Ye Chen gave a low shout.

A large amount of soul power surged out again, and the liquid soul power quickly replenished itself through the absorption. After absorbing a massive amount of spiritual power and the last of the soul power, the core's volume not only did not expand, but instead contracted inward again!
"boom--"

The prototype of the soul core rotates and compresses, then rotates and compresses again!
It eventually became fixed at about the size of an adult male's fist!

"Om-"

The fist-sized core that was floating in front of Ye Chen's brow suddenly dimmed completely.

A completely black sphere floated there silently.

The spiritual core has taken shape!

PS: Writing about soul cores is still too difficult. I read that the original novel went on and on for tens of thousands of words, and it was all a mess. Some details don't need to be explored in detail. I won't write any more after this part is finished... (End of this chapter)
