Chapter 657 Absorbing the Soul Ring, Condensing the Soul Core (Part 1)
"This is indeed a problem. I haven't tested the limits of the devouring power either. I'm really unsure. So now…"
Xuan Mo frowned upon hearing this. Although it was Di Tian who killed the Evil Emperor today, it was something he himself had hoped for. If he just watched as a soul ring with a cultivation of seven hundred thousand years wasn't absorbed, and it dissipated on its own in a while, it would be heartbreaking!
At this moment, Mu Lin also frowned.
Although he, like Xuan Mo, didn't know how Di Tian killed the Evil Emperor, he knew how dangerous the initial battle was. Now that they had finally killed this powerful Evil Emperor, it was truly unbearable to give up his soul ring! Soul bones were manageable, as absorption could be delayed. But what about the soul ring? A magnificent seven hundred thousand years!
However, they couldn't risk absorbing it; no one knew what kind of immense energy was contained within a seven hundred thousand year cultivation soul ring. If something went wrong, it would be fatal.
"Brother Mo, what do you plan to do now? Absorbing it isn't an option, and not absorbing it isn't an option either."
Faced with Mu Lin's question, Xuan Mo was also undecided. He could only shake his head and then lower his head in deep thought.
"Boy Mo, just absorb it without worry."
Just then, five voices rang out simultaneously. It was seen that, apart from Xuan Mo's chest, five other places all emitted five different kinds of light. Upon seeing this, Di Tian's expression brightened with joy.
Immediately afterward, a flash of light appeared. Five people appeared beside Xuan Mo, and they were none other than the five Dragon Kings in human form.
"Uncle Taotie, Uncle Kong, Aunt Feng."
As the five figures were fully revealed, Di Tian's previously calm face could no longer contain his excitement.
"You must be that kid Di Tian from back then."
The five Dragon Kings' gazes lingered on Di Tian for a moment. "Not bad, not bad. Now that you're the new patriarch of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Clan, in my opinion, you're much stronger than Dark."
"This junior is humbled and dares not compare himself to the old patriarch."
"Hehehe..." The Earth Dragon King smiled slightly, ignoring what Di Tian said, and instead looked at Xuan Mo. "Boy Mo, you underestimate the devouring ability of our Taotie Clan. And even if you can't hold on, we're still here."
"Uncle Earth, what are you planning to do?"
Xuan Mo looked at the five Dragon Kings with surprise and asked.
"Don't forget, the soul bones of our six Dragon Kings still store a considerable amount of divine power, specifically for you to break through the final barrier. So, just absorb this soul ring with peace of mind. We'll store the excess soul power in your soul bones for you. When you have time to cultivate later, we'll reintegrate this power into your body. Isn't that alright?"
Xuan Mo's eyes lit up, and Mu Lin also showed joy. Yes! Even Di Tian nodded with admiration. After all, the six Dragon Kings were all god-level powerhouses in their previous lives, so bearing some power was naturally not a problem. Moreover, this was just the soul power within the soul ring. Even the Evil Emperor's own spiritual power couldn't cause any ripples before the remnant souls of the five Dragon Kings.
At this moment, Di Tian also spoke up from the side, "Young Mo, since all your uncles and aunts have said so, then you should hurry up and fuse with the Evil Emperor's soul ring. If you can obtain the soul skill of the Light of Time and Space, it will guarantee that your understanding of spatial abilities will reach a higher level, and you might even be able to touch the mysteries of the Time Domain. And you can also take this opportunity to learn how to condense your second soul core."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo immediately sat down cross-legged without hesitation and began to fuse with the Evil Emperor's soul ring using his soul power. As for the soul bone that resembled an eye, Xuan Mo put it away first. Now was not a good time to fuse with it; he would do it later when he was trying to break through to his second soul core.
As the dark red soul ring entered his body, Xuan Mo's entire body trembled violently. He felt an extremely powerful, domineering, and terrifying spiritual will filled with resentment and destruction instantly rush into his sea of consciousness, frantically attacking as if trying to completely tear his sea of consciousness apart.
But Xuan Mo was not one to be trifled with, and his spiritual power instantly erupted. This spiritual power, imbued with a certain devouring force, instantly absorbed these terrifying spiritual intentions. It then gradually destroyed them, purifying the energy within and fusing it with its own.
Next, the lingering wills of the five Dragon Kings instantly appeared in Xuan Mo's sea of consciousness, their power manifesting in the next second. Just as he had said, it was like a whale swallowing its prey. The excess soul power and spiritual power of the Evil Emperor were sealed within the six soul bones, and the remaining soul power and spiritual power were used to purify Xuan Mo.
With the help of the five Dragon Kings, Xuan Mo's absorption became completely unimpeded. It must be said that the Evil Emperor's spiritual power and soul power were extremely vast and domineering, befitting someone with 700,000 years of cultivation. The essence energy contained within the soul ring alone instantly filled Xuan Mo's sea of consciousness and meridians.
At first, he could filter it, but after a certain point, he could no longer filter it completely because there was no time.
Every second thereafter, a large amount of spiritual power and soul power was released from that soul ring, fusing with his sea of consciousness and meridians.
The five Dragon Kings were indeed powerful, absorbing the spiritual and soul power without reservation, even the mixed ones, sealing them all away.
They were a great help to Xuan Mo.
It took three days and three nights for the Evil Emperor's soul ring aura to truly merge into Xuan Mo's body.
However, the fusion didn't seem particularly thorough, and it was unclear whether the five Dragon Kings had other plans. In the end, Xuan Mo was forced to bear a surge of violent energy.
This violent energy was the power of time contained within the soul ring that the Evil Emperor had comprehended. This power made his sea of consciousness and meridians very turbulent, with the possibility of unleashing a monstrous wave at any moment.
Xuan Mo's true cultivation level was now undoubtedly that of an unparalleled expert, but his ability to borrow divine power, like that of high-ranking deities such as Qian Daoliu and Poseidon, was still unclear.
Right now, he was like a giant balloon filled with air, barely able to control himself to avoid bursting. If things went wrong, his life could be in danger.
It could be said that Xuanmo's current state, while powerful, was also extremely dangerous. If he encountered any unforeseen circumstances, or overused his abilities, causing him to lose control of the undigested energy, he risked exploding and dying.
At this moment, "Di Tian."
"Uncle Taotie."
Seeing the Earth Dragon King call him, Di Tian quickly bowed respectfully. "May I ask what business you have with me?"
The Earth Dragon King glanced at the sweat-drenched Xuanmo. "Prepare to teach him how to condense his second soul core."
