Chapter 128 - Nine Levels of the Essence Soul (1/2)

The three books were ordinary books. There was no intent legacy. Intent legacies for transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies were too powerful. A Great Solar Godfiend needed an Essence Soul to withstand the intent guidance.

“The Godfiend formulas have been given. After you condense an Essence Soul, you can return to view the original copies of your Godfiend formulas and accept the legacy via intent,” said Elder Yi. “There are only text descriptions regarding the Darkstar and Incessant realm. Only by obtaining the intent legacy, will you know the details clearly. Then, your chances of breaking through will be much greater.”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded.

“Actually, even if you condense an Essence Soul, there’s no need to rush back,” said Elder Yi. “The books are very detailed about the requirements for becoming a Darkstar Godfiend. It wouldn’t be too late for you to return to receive the intent legacy when you have nearly met every requirement.”

“Understood.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded.

“Elder Yi,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “Does this Essence Soul mystic technique have an intent legacy? Or is it also an ordinary book?”

“There is no intent legacy,” said Elder Yi. “The Essence Soul is mysterious and unfathomable. Before it is condensed, it can’t even be sensed via inner sight. The so-called Essence Soul mystic technique is something that took generations of human experts to create. It’s still very crude. There’s no need for an intent legacy.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

From his talks with his master—the Supremacy—he learned that improving one’s Essence Soul required one to enter the Realm of Dao. Once they reached the Realm of Dao, they could seek answers from their inner selves. Every time one sought answers, their Essence Soul would transform.

As for the Essence Soul mystic technique? The cultivation effects were lacking even after one cultivated it for long periods. Otherwise, many Great Solar Godfiends would’ve condensed Essence Souls.

Meng Chuan flipped through the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body’s second volume. Apart from the lack of an intent legacy, the descriptions were rather detailed.

Three important aspects are required to breakthrough: physical Quintessential Essence, weapon art realm, and Essence Soul. Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

A body’s vitality was very important. Therefore, the higher one’s age, the lower the chances of breaking through. Archean Mountain required their disciples to become Godfiends before the age of 30. Past 30, their mortal body’s vitality would constantly decline. Their chances of breaking through would be lower.

A Great Solar Godfiend could live for 200 years. They would maintain peak vitality until they reached 60 years of age. Once they were 60, their vitality would decrease rapidly. If Godfiends used forbidden spells repeatedly, they would cause irreparable damage to their bodies. It was possible that their vitality would decline at the age of fifty.

Therefore, one needed to seize every moment when it came to cultivation. One had to become strong as soon as possible! There was no hope of breaking through when one was older.

This was only one aspect of vitality.

There were different types of physical Quintessential Essence, such as Body Tempering Quintessential Essence, Great Solar Quintessential Essence, and so on.

…

After flipping through the book, he had a rough idea about Darkstar and Incessant Godfiends. He knew the general requirements for each realm and realized how powerful a higher-realm Godfiend was!

It’s indeed impossible to defeat a Marquis Godfiend at the Great Solar realm. Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. The gap between a Great Solar Godfiend and a Darkstar Godfiend was too great.

It was like comparing mortals with Godfiends. It was also like comparing a newly-advanced Core Cloud Godfiend and a Great Solar Godfiend.

Therefore, if one encounters a fourth Firmament demon monarch, there’s only one thing to do—escape! Over the past 800 years, many demon monarchs had infiltrated the human world. However, there were very few fourth Firmament demon monarchs. In comparison, the Skydemon Sect posed a greater threat. This was because the Skydemon Sect was formed by human traitors. The Skydemon Sect had two fifth Firmament Skydemons.

However, there was no need to worry. Archean Mountain, Two World Island, and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven—the three supreme human sects—constantly pursued the Skydemon Sect. If a fifth Firmament Skydemon showed themselves, not only would Regis Godfiends take action, even a Creation Supremacy would attack.

Therefore, Skydemons similarly hid. The Skydemon Sect was far inferior to the three sects; thus, they couldn’t fight them head-on. Typically, Skydemons only took action if they had a plan.

Essence Soul mystic technique. Meng Chuan read quickly. After reading the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body’s second volume, he picked up the Essence Soul mystic technique book and flipped through it.

Huh? Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.

In the history of the human race, the births of outstanding geniuses resulted in a detailed explanation of the Essence Soul.

The Essence Soul was split into nine levels—Corporeal, Kinesis, Nightroaming, Soul Separation, Possession, Indestructible, World, Tribulation Transcendence, and Eternal.

When one first condensed an Essence Soul, one could see it with their inner sight. This was the Essence Soul’s first manifestation, and also the first stage. To become a Darkstar Godfiend, one’s Essence Soul had to reach the Corporeal stage. Many Great Solar Godfiends couldn’t reach this stage even if they wished for it! Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul was at the Corporeal stage.
