C3 (1/2)

In midair, the youth opened his eyes with much difficulty and lowered his head to look at his body.

”How could this be?”

The young man was currently in an illusory soul state, the Divine Substance was quietly floating in his body, and the drop of ancestor's blood wrapped in the crystal was also present.

Hong Ling looked around him in shock. He felt that he was in a state of chaotic space and time, or perhaps he was in a boundless black hole.

His ethereal soul was slowly disintegrating. If he had not completely refined the three souls and seven souls into one at Lou Lan, his soul would have been shattered by the black hole long ago.

However, he knew that he couldn't be careless right now, because he still couldn't break free from the binds of the black hole. Furthermore, Hong Ling could feel that there was an invisible force constantly corroding his soul.

As he watched his soul corrode bit by bit, his eyes were filled with concentration. This wasn't a simple injury anymore. Once his soul completely dissipated, his soul would be completely destroyed.

”There must be a way. I can't just watch myself disappear!”

Hong Ling wanted to struggle, but he discovered that he could not budge an inch. A few of his soul bodies had been corroded away, causing the youth to be so anxious that he was about to cry, but he could not do anything as he helplessly watched his soul bodies become more and more ethereal.

Suddenly, the dark golden Divine Substance shook for a moment, and a dark golden Divine Substance power seeped out of its dark golden eyes and fused into the boy's soul.

In an instant, Hong Ling felt that his spirit body had become more solid, and even more tenacious.

The corrosive power of the black hole was still constantly corroding his illusory soul. Every time he was about to be unable to hold on, the dark golden Divine Substance would melt into a very small part of his soul and fuse into it, causing his soul to not dissipate.

Just like this, after an unknown amount of time, Hong Ling's soul body became stronger and stronger, but the corrosive and devouring ability of the black hole also became stronger and stronger.

Hong Ling knew that his soul had undergone a change and he could feel the aura of the ancestor's blood within it. It was evident that the Divine Substance and the ancestor's blood had helped greatly in restoring his soul.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the sound of an explosion came from the soul of the youth. He had finally broken free from the invisible binding power, so he wandered aimlessly within the black hole.

The corrosive power of the black hole continued to increase, but Hong Ling was not afraid. He sat cross-legged in mid air, both hands constantly forming mysterious hand seals.

As if pulled by an invisible force, the dark golden Divine Substance slowly turned into streaks of light, and continuously merged into Hong Ling's soul.

Originally, it was used to strengthen the body, but now, he could not care too much. Of course, this was also because this method was actually effective on the soul as well.

The dark red Blood of the Ancestral Founder continued to melt, fusing into Hong Ling's soul along with the Divine Substance, slowly strengthening the youth's soul body.

At this moment, his soul had already reached the size of a normal person's, but it was still an illusion. The youth didn't dare to slack off in the slightest; he knew that his soul was still being corroded by the black hole.

”I wonder when I will be able to escape from this invisible corrosive force!”

Hong Ling heaved a heavy sigh, his eyes filled with helplessness. After wandering for a long time, he finally sat down cross legged, refined another Divine Substance, and strengthened his soul body.

After a long period of time, Hong Ling's spirit body could no longer feel the corrosive power within the black hole. The youth looked at the soul body of the Divine Substance and laughed bitterly.

At this time, half of the Divine Substance had already been refined, and the Blood of the Ancestral Founder within had also become the same.

However, the youth quickly discovered that something was off with that soul body. Many patterns appeared on that enormous soul body.

Hong Ling looked at the illusory patterns that faintly appeared on his soul body, and a look of puzzlement flashed past his eyes. He was currently studying it carefully, his hand touching the gigantic tattoo on the top of his head, and that Divine Substance hanging on his chest actually melted a little, fusing his finger into it.

As the teenager watched in a daze, the lines that were fused with the Divine Substance's power instantly turned into a pile of sparkling and translucent bones.

”What's going on? Could it be that he is reconstructing his physical body?”

Hong Ling was pleasantly surprised, but he quickly realized that it wasn't like that at all. The skeleton was still in an illusory state.

”Forget it, let's not bother about it. Let's catalyze all these lines out first!”

The young man did as he was told, sat down cross legged, and began to refine the Divine Substance bit by bit, producing pieces of bones on the soul body. After the complete skeleton within the soul, new lines appeared.

Hong Ling was speechless, and once again refined the Divine Substance and fused it within. He did not expect that it would actually stimulate the growth of meridians, since he had nothing better to do, he continued to stimulate the growth of his internal organs, muscles, limbs, and finally hair.

As the last strand of hair the young man grew was finally used up, Hong Ling looked at himself, who was currently no different from ordinary people. Besides the illusory state that his soul was still in, there was no other difference.

Suddenly, he felt as if the entire black hole had changed. A thundercloud was quietly born, and as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, a powerful will emanated from within.
