Chapter 406 The Seventh Soul Ring - The Abyss (Please Subscribe!!!)

The tides of the abyss come quickly and go quickly.

Unlike any recorded abyssal tide, this time the abyss suffered a crushing defeat, with even the Abyss Saint King incurring heavy losses. In contrast, the human soul masters absorbed the power of two Abyss Emperors.

Su Ming, the newly appointed Blood Rank 2, demonstrated the power to turn the tide of battle in just a few days after joining the legion.

Countless soldiers of the legion wept with joy.

If they persevered in the abyss because of their faith, now that they have hope, they will continue to persevere not because of empty faith, but because of hope!

It turns out that human soul masters really can withstand the impact of the abyss and stop the losses.

After the Abyss army withdrew, Su Ming also successfully underwent rebirth.

At this moment, his seven spirit rings were slightly different from before.

Black, black, black.

These three were bestowed upon Su Ming by the light cluster, and they are still only ten thousand years old, a little short of one hundred thousand years.

Red, red, red.

These were respectively bestowed by Chaos, Spring and Autumn Period, and Primordial Chaos.

The seventh spirit ring, which was red when Su Ming's phantom appeared, has now turned black and gold. It is not based on gold, but on black. In the dark, abyss-like spirit ring, it seems to faintly shimmer with golden light.

The seven spirit rings pulsed beneath Su Ming's feet, displaying a unique charm.

"Now, my martial soul has completely evolved, and I can now control energy."

Su Ming smiled.

The abyssal energy within him also bore a true mark belonging to him—a mark belonging to his martial soul, a result of the operation of the Douluo Laws.

Each Soul Master's Martial Soul has its own unique imprint.

This mark carries considerable priority.

At least for now, Su Ming has removed the Sea God's status to suppress him, and he doesn't need to worry about the Abyss Saint King drawing away this part of the Abyss energy from his body.

Before his death, this power belonged to him.

Of course, to achieve this, the abyssal energy within his body must be refined, rather than merely possessing this part of the imprint.

The Abyss Saint King's level was far higher than Su Ming's. He simply scattered the source code into all the blank abyss energy. Compared to Su Ming's martial soul imprint, the source code was definitely stronger. Su Ming was able to completely control the abyss energy because he relied on his own insights.

Together, these insights and imprints wrested control of this energy from the Abyss Saint King.

As Su Ming was fully resurrected, the Abyss Saint King also sensed the change in his own power, and his expression turned grim.

"Is this Su Ming trying to steal the Abyss from me?"

He was shocked and angry.

He's always been the one plundering others; this is the first time he's been plundered himself.

"So what if you have a sea god protecting you? Without a sea god, what are you anyway!"

The Abyss Saint Lord vented his rage furiously as he looked at the two layers that had collapsed after the deaths of Emperor Ba and Emperor Mei.

Su Ming only absorbed the core, not the entire power.

The Emperor can control all the power of each layer of the abyss, but the portion that his true body condenses actually accounts for less than one percent of the power of each layer of the abyss. In fact, weaker Emperors can not even use one-thousandth of the power of each layer.

The Abyss Saint King snorted coldly, collected the two layers of energy that had shattered everywhere, glanced at the emperors below, and selected the lower-ranking emperors of Ba Huang and Mei Huang, infusing them with energy.

"It seems that this is the method left behind by the disappearance of the God Realm. Even the worship of the Sea God has been handed over to outsiders. I guess there is still a trump card left. As long as I am brought to Douluo Star, it will be enough to pose a threat to me."

The Abyss Saint King's gaze was deep as he pondered how to use up the contingency plan left behind by the Sea God.

"Su Ming, can you share your method of absorbing abyssal energy?"

Cao Dezhi came to inquire about Su Ming's situation as soon as the war ended.

He observed that Su Ming didn't seem to possess any special secret techniques for absorbing the abyss's energy.

“The key to devouring the abyss is the status of the Sea God. I have gained the Sea God’s approval and control the Sea God’s faith. I can suppress the power of the Abyss Saint King with the status of the Sea God. You cannot do that,” Su Ming explained.

It's actually related to faith?
If Su Ming hadn't explained, Cao Dezhi would have thought that the belief in the sea god was simply for invoking the gods. Thinking of this, he showed a wistful expression.

The feeling of faith descending upon him and elevating his soul power to the level of divine power was so wonderful that he savored it.

Seeing this, Su Ming kindly offered a reminder.

"Unless you are prepared to walk the path of the gods, forget about how you feel today. The elevation of faith is illusory. The more you try to savor that feeling, the less likely you are to truly break through to divine power."

Faith is a product of human will, and this power has a strong utopian nature.

Divine power can only be transformed after undergoing the baptism of laws.

The divine power bestowed by faith is a castle in the air; excessive immersion in it will only cause the true laws to reject it.

Unless one takes the path of faith, inherits a divine position, and is baptized by the laws within the authority of the divine position, this drawback cannot be resolved.

Cao Dezhi woke up with a start.

He looked at Su Ming, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

Su Ming actually has such a profound understanding of the god-level?

"Been taught a lesson."

"If other people have faith, can they use your method to absorb abyssal energy?" Zhang Huanyun asked.

"It's possible, but not recommended. After all, it's like snatching food from a tiger's mouth. If the source of faith isn't strong enough, it won't be able to suppress the Abyss Saint King. The reason the Sea God was able to suppress the Abyss Saint King was because the power he left on Douluo Star was strong enough, not just because of his high rank."

Su Ming was essentially borrowing the power of the plane's master, only this part of the power belonged to the sea god.

But he couldn't say it outright, so he just gave Zhang Huanyun this hint.

He could sense that the regimental commander also possessed a faint faith—very little, but definitely present.

This is the war god of the Blood God Legion, deeply loved and respected, so it's not surprising that he has faith in him.

Zhang Huanyun felt regret.

It seems I won't be able to inhale it.

Seeing that the two had given up on asking about the method of absorbing abyssal energy, Su Ming changed the subject.

"However, it's not that there's no way for you to absorb abyssal energy."

"How to say?"

The two said in unison.

"Set up a great formation to protect an area indiscriminately with the Sea God's status. In this way, as long as the Soul Master who absorbs the energy of the Abyss is within the protected area of ​​the great formation, there is no need to worry about the Abyss Saint King taking away their power."

"Of course, this means we'll have to stay here until the Abyss is destroyed."

Su Ming's words made the two of them fall into deep thought.

They were all somewhat tempted.

Even if Su Mingming said they would be trapped here forever, they would still be willing.

"Can you absorb the soul rings of abyssal creatures in your own way?"

"Yes, but it would require the support of a large formation."

The two of them showed their delight.

This gave them confidence.

"By the way, this level of array is not easy to build. It requires a core, preferably an artifact that can contain or even autonomously absorb the faith of the sea god."

Artifact?

Absorbing the sea god's faith?

Zhang Huanyun and Cao Dezhi exchanged a glance.
