Chapter 515: Chapter 514: Entry to Primordial Magnetic Great Divine Techniques
Seventy-nine million points, nearly eighty million points of soul energy, were absolutely the most he had ever harvested at one time.
With this soul energy, he could instantly complete a second transformation and become a late-stage Divine Realm cultivator, greatly enhancing his power and realm.
"But having too much soul energy can be a bit troublesome,"
Bai Ziyue thought with satisfaction, yet a hint of caution arose in his heart.
Up to now, he was naturally aware that the soul energy count on the attribute panel increased tenfold based on the previous upgrade, which meant the attribute panel would inevitably upgrade again.
An upgrade was certainly a good thing. It could provide better assistance from the attribute panel, such as the enlightenment function added in the last upgrade, which significantly aided him.
But during the upgrade period, the attribute panel could not be utilized and would take at least a month...
Bai Ziyue felt some reluctance in his heart.
If it were normal times, it would be alright, but now that his strength was in a rapid growth phase and he was in the dangerous cemetery of the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch, he naturally had to consider it more carefully and needed the attribute panel as one of his trump cards.
"Therefore, I must quickly reach the entry level with the three Divine Techniques, otherwise, I would have to rely on soul energy to enhance my power and realm,"
Bai Ziyue thought, but he wasn’t overly concerned.
*After all, it was a happy dilemma.*
"Everyone, although we have repelled the first wave of enemies, there are certainly stronger beings deeper within the cemetery.
"Let us rest for a while, then continue to advance into the depths."
Master Giant Axe looked at everyone and said,
"Yes!"
The power of Master Giant Axe’s previous strike commanded everyone’s respect and awe, and naturally, no one would disobey.
Just then, Master Pei approached and transmitted a message to Bai Ziyue, saying, "Be careful from now on. I just had a short talk with Master Jiu Chi, with whom I’ve collaborated before. According to him, a thousand years ago, the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch had three early-stage Golden Core Realm subordinates. Although one of them was easily slain by two sect leaders, two others escaped with the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch.
Judging by the strength of the previous Soul-controlling cultivators, their power had severely deteriorated, at most eighty percent of their prime, and many were only sixty or seventy percent.
But eighty percent of a Golden Core Realm True Monarch’s power was still terrifying, at least having the combat strength of a half-step Golden Core Realm, which we couldn’t handle."
"Early-stage Golden Core Realm?"
Bai Ziyue felt a shock in his heart, glancing towards Master Jiu Chi. Sensing his gaze, Master Jiu Chi looked back at him and nodded, as if exchanging a greeting.
"However, I believe that since Master Giant Axe dared to take action, he must be fully prepared. Surely, he has means to deal with those two early-stage Golden Core Realm Soul-controlling cultivators.
"So, if we encounter such powerful beings, don’t hesitate; evade them and act according to the situation, let them handle it,"
Master Pei reassured Bai Ziyue, seeing the unusual look on his face.
"As they say, ’when the sky falls, let the tall ones hold it up,’ right?"
Bai Ziyue said with a smile.
"Hehe... Yes, when the sky falls, it’s for the tall ones to handle, not us,"
Master Pei chuckled, nodding repeatedly.
The group set off again.
The environment throughout the cemetery was relatively dim, but the deeper they went, the denser the Yin Qi became, like the Underworld Hell. Various demon souls roared and swayed around but were deterred by their power, not daring to approach.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, an earth-shaking roar echoed.
The entire world was suddenly enveloped by an endless layer of yellow fog.
The yellow fog seemed to contain a unique power, pressing down on everyone, weighing them down and sharply reducing their speed.
"Be careful!"
Everyone exclaimed in alarm.
Suddenly, they saw a flash of sword light, like a bolt of lightning, swiftly streaking by.
"Ah..."
A scream rang out, as the first cultivator fell.
Then, more flying swords, dharma treasures, and waves of magic came crashing forth. Also, demon souls, like wailing ghosts, emitted mind-wrenching howls, swiftly engulfing them.
"It’s the Yellow Earth True Monarch and Cyan Nether Sword Monarch who were controlled by the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch a thousand years ago,"
Evil Moon Fairy shouted.
"Take action!"
Master Giant Axe, having reacted the instant the yellow fog appeared, immediately threw out a Glazed Golden Lamp.
The golden lamp rose and instantly ignited, spreading a glow of glazed color.
The light dispersed the yellow fog, which retreated as if encountering its nemesis.
However, the pressure on everyone, although somewhat reduced, did not completely disappear.
Everyone understood that this was the Golden Core Domain, a Dao Realm technique only a Golden Core Realm powerhouse could wield.
Even though their power had declined to a half-step Golden Core Realm level, the domain power of the Yellow Earth Fungus and Cyan Nether Sword Monarch was greatly diminished. Yet, their combined might still suppressed everyone’s strength to a certain extent.
The lower one’s realm, the more severe the suppression.
"Hmph! Get lost!"
Master Giant Axe roared, swinging his giant axe in a powerful strike.
Swoosh~!
A massive axe shadow swiftly sliced through the air, fiercely striking a cultivator dressed in yellow Daoist robe.
Meanwhile, Evil Moon Fairy and Master Great Sun surged with power, reacting instantly, transforming into two streams of light that rushed towards the soul-controlling cultivator revealed under the golden lamp’s illumination, clad in a green robe.
It was Cyan Nether Sword Monarch.
The three nine-star Divine Realm powerhouses instantly faced off against the two soul-controlling cultivators at the Golden Core Realm level.
The remaining people were simultaneously surrounded by countless soul-controlling cultivators, soul-controlling demon beasts, and demon souls, who attacked frantically.
This time, the soul-controlling cultivators appearing were noticeably stronger than before. Coupled with the sudden emergence of the yellow mist, in the blink of an eye, three unprepared cultivators had perished.
At this moment, Bai Ziyue and others also faced a group of soul-controlling cultivators, along with the interference from numerous demon souls, causing their situation to become difficult.
Bai Ziyue’s flying sword soared, with a flicker it instantly killed the soul-controlling cultivator before him.
However, at the same time, three demon souls employed enchanting skills, extending Netherworld Ghost Claws to grab mercilessly.
*In response, Bai Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged. With his soul strength, combined with the Cyan Wood Soul-Protecting Bead bestowed by the Hall Master of Qingxu Sect’s Artifact Integration Hall, he was wholly unaffected. With a thought, a solid black line flashed and rapidly cut through.*
Swoosh swoosh swoosh~!
Three demon souls at the Divine Realm level were immediately sliced in half, with residual force slicing through the weaker demon souls behind them, plunging deeply into the ground.
"This Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting may be strong, but it only works effectively on living beings. For soul-body entities like demon souls, its effect is significantly reduced."
*Bai Ziyue watched as the demon souls, though greatly diminished, began to recover quickly, and he couldn’t help but sigh.*
"No, that’s not right."
Suddenly, Bai Ziyue’s mind shifted, his thoughts rapidly recalling Master Giant Axe’s previous strike.
The strike full of destruction.
Not only did it directly kill three relatively strong soul-controlling cultivators, but it also annihilated three demon souls at the Divine Realm level, causing their soul bodies to vanish completely.
"Master Giant Axe’s strike may have been powerful, but generally speaking, it was merely an application at the Divine Power level. In terms of finesse, it definitely was not superior to my Primordial Magnetic Great Divine Techniques.
After all, no matter how you put it, Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting is a Great Divine Technique. Even if I haven’t reached the Entry Level, unable to fully unleash its power, the application at the Great Divine Power level naturally surpasses divine skill mystic art.
Therefore, since Master Giant Axe could annihilate those three demon souls with one strike, my Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting surely could do the same."
*Thoughts flickering in his mind, Bai Ziyue gradually became excited.*
He finally understood the reason he had not achieved Entry Level in the Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting, what he had been lacking all along.
"Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting, slices through everything endlessly... but can equally pursue and destroy souls, annihilating everything."
Bai Ziyue’s eyes lit up, without any hesitation, he instantly executed a Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting.
Fizz~!
The world briefly brightened as a thoroughly condensed Primordial Magnetic light transformed into a thread. Like lightning striking down, it flashed with a swoosh at extreme speed.
In utter silence, the three newly formed demon souls at the Divine Realm level were instantly cut apart, then completely annihilated by the bizarre primordial magnetic power contained within, their souls shattered and permanently vanished.
"It indeed succeeded.
The Great Divine Technique, Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting has reached Entry Level."
Bai Ziyue rejoiced, quickly glancing at the attribute panel, finding that the Primordial Magnetic Great Divine Technique’s Entry Level status was listed under the Great Divine Techniques.
"However, the state of Soul Energy has already increased to eighty-nine million, ninety million, ninety-one million... I can’t continue to wait."
Very soon, Bai Ziyue also noticed his Soul Energy was soaring, his heart tightened, swiftly shifting his gaze to the Primordial Magnetic Great Divine Technique on the attribute panel.
"Consuming 4,999,999 Soul Energy points can elevate the Great Divine Technique Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting from Entry Level to Small Success."
"Enhance!"
Without any hesitation, he immediately chose to enhance.
Watching as his Soul Energy sharply decreased, he felt relieved, quickly sensing a wealth of training experiences regarding Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting, application theories, and execution methods rapidly flowing through his mind; within a short period, he felt like he had undergone decades or even centuries of training, directly cultivating this Great Divine Technique to the Small Success Realm.
While Bai Ziyue chose to enhance, his flying sword also continuously flickered around him, turning into multiple streams of light that slayed all demon souls and soul-controlling cultivators rushing towards him, further effortlessly resolving a crisis for Master Pei, dispersing an attack about to land on him.
With Bai Ziyue’s enhanced strength and soul force, his adaptability to the informational impact during attribute panel enhancements naturally greatly improved.
Unless facing the intense impact brought by realm elevation, the enhancement of typical divine skill techniques could hardly leave him stunned anymore.
Not to mention, he intentionally slowed the enhancement speed, initially just elevating Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting to Small Success.
Yet, a mere five million Soul Energy consumption couldn’t satisfy him, so very quickly...
"Consuming 10,000,000 Soul Energy points can elevate the Great Divine Technique Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting from Small Success to Great Success."
"Consuming 20,000,000 Soul Energy points can elevate the Great Divine Technique Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting from Great Success to Perfection."
