Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 290 Solid Soul Power

On the west side of Poseidon Island, siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen also witnessed the extremely shocking scene before Elder Mu's passing.

In their Sun Moon Empire, even powerful Title Douluos with Beast Martial Souls could only unleash a Martial Soul True Body that was at most tens of meters long. A Martial Soul True Body that was over a hundred meters long was something only Super Douluos could achieve.

The thousand-meter-long white dragon that Elder Mu transformed into was completely beyond their common sense.

Xiao Hongchen clenched his fists, his gaze slightly narrowed. He had felt more than once that coming to Shrek Academy to study was the best decision he had ever made.

Meng Hongchen was also lost in thought. Shrek Academy truly lived up to its reputation as the number one academy on the continent.

The pure and luminous aura left behind by Elder Mu before his departure made the auras of the inner disciples noticeably more solid.

Many inner court disciples gained insights from this, and upon returning to their residences, immediately entered a state of deep meditation. This was especially true for inner court disciples who, like Elder Mu, possessed a martial soul with the light attribute.

Ji Lin returned to his room, where he was about to begin his seclusion. Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er also made great progress and immediately returned to their rooms to enter a state of deep meditation.

Originally, Ji Lin, Ling Luochen, and Meng Hongchen had been cultivating the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow together, and their cultivation had reached the bottleneck of level fifty-nine. This time, Elder Mu's gift broke through that bottleneck, and Ji Lin is about to break through to level sixty.

Just then, the holy marks behind Ji Lin shone brightly, and a snow-white figure appeared lightly beside Ji Lin. Her stunningly beautiful face, cold and noble temperament, exquisite and curvaceous figure, and long white dress all gave people a special sense of beauty.

After the snow-white figure appeared, the Ice Emperor, dressed in a green dress, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also appeared in Ji Lin's room.

Even Electrox, dressed in a gray robe, revealed his form.

When Ji Lin broke through the level 60 bottleneck, the three Snow Emperors who were almost one with him sensed it immediately.

Ice Emperor frowned and said, "Are you really going to do this? Doing so will greatly increase the difficulty for you to break through to the Title Douluo level in the future."

Ji Lin opened his eyes and summoned a ball of ice-blue soul power in his hand. This ball of ice-blue soul power was initially in a liquid state, but in less than a second, it actually transformed from a liquid state to a solid state on its own!

The Snow Empress said calmly, "During this time, while he was cultivating with those two ice-attribute female soul masters, he refined too much Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. The Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul that I bestowed upon him has evolved again. Now, the temperature of his Extreme Ice and Snow has become even lower, much lower than some ordinary Extreme Ice, and is getting closer and closer to absolute zero. In the realm of ice, the closer one gets to absolute zero, the more difficult it becomes, but every degree is a difference between heaven and earth. And he has now condensed the rudimentary form of a soul core."

Ji Lin frowned and said, "My soul power has solidified. After it solidifies, it's a hundred times more difficult for me to continue improving my soul power cultivation than when it was in a gaseous or liquid state. The only way is to break down the solidified soul power into solid particles, and then control my own soul power to drive them in a gaseous or liquid state. But this process is very dangerous. If my mental strength weren't strong enough, I'm afraid I would find it difficult to improve my cultivation. This is the principle of 'too much of a good thing,' right? My soul power is too solid, which affects my cultivation."

The Snow Empress spoke softly, "Therefore, you must condense your first soul core in advance."

Only when a soul beast reaches 100,000 years and a soul master reaches the title of Douluo can their soul power transform from liquid to solid. After completing the solidification of soul power, they can break through the level 90 bottleneck.

This bottleneck is difficult for most creatures to overcome, which is one of the reasons why there are many Soul Douluos and ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts, but extremely limited Title Douluos and hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts.

Ji Lin had just broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, and his soul power had already solidified. Part of the reason for this was the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, but the bigger reason was that Ji Lin's Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul was too strong, with the ultimate ice and snow. With the amplification of the three Holy Marks, his soul power was already very solid and pure. With the help of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, he directly solidified his soul power in one step.

The cultivation of solid soul power must rely on the soul core; otherwise, Ji Lin's cultivation speed will be as slow as a tortoise crawl, and he will also face the crisis of his body exploding.

Ice Emperor looked worried and said, "However, it's unheard of for a Soul Emperor to condense his first Soul Core. Breaking through to Title Douluo feels like he's about to condense his second Soul Core, which is at the Limit Douluo level. When he truly steps into Limit Douluo, I'm afraid..."

"We need to condense the third soul core."

The Snow Empress said what the Ice Empress wanted to say.

Even the Snow Empress failed to condense her second soul core, while Ji Lin was trying to condense her third soul core. For a moment, the group fell silent.

"It's alright. It's too early to talk about the third soul core. Right now, I can't cultivate without condensing the first soul core, and my life is in danger at any time. I have no other choice."

Ji Lin comforted the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, saying that he did not believe he could not condense a third soul core. He believed that if Huo Yuhao could do it in the original story, he could definitely do it too.

"it is good."

Hyotei and Yukiteri exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously. Both were decisive individuals; since they had no other choice, they decided to be decisive.

The Snow Empress made a decisive decision: "For hundreds of thousands of years, the problem that has troubled me is how to control the power of space to complete the compression of the second soul core's soul power, but I can guide you in condensing the first soul core. Watch carefully and learn well."

Xue Di opened her jade-white palm, in which floated a snow-white sphere of light, which looked almost solid. Around the sphere, wisps of cold air and faint spatial cracks were pervasive.

Ice-type soul power—this is the Snow Empress's solidified soul power.

"So this is the soul core of Douluo Continent? This first soul core seems to be the root of attributes. From what you've said, the second soul core is built on the basis of the first soul core, based on spatial attributes. It's a pity you are an ice and snow elf from the far north, so it's hard for you to understand the mysteries of space," Electrolux analyzed.

Although he didn't have the same level of understanding and expertise as Xue Di regarding Soul Cores, he possessed a keen eye and could discern the profound mysteries of Soul Cores at a glance.

"Yes, after hundreds of thousands of years of research, I have only managed to gain some control over space."

A glint flashed in Xue Di's eyes, and instantly, the spatial rifts surrounding the snow-white sphere began to open rapidly, and the central soul power sphere began to collapse inward, forming a small black hole.

The Snow Empress said calmly, "Using my own soul power as a catalyst, I caused a spatial collapse, creating a black hole capable of endlessly devouring the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Theoretically, this black hole can continuously devour the primordial energy of heaven and earth. However, if I lose control, it will become unstable and eventually explode. If I can keep this black hole existing indefinitely, theoretically it could devour the entire Douluo Continent."
