Volume 34, Chapter 455: Extreme Compression! (1/2)
The biggest difference between soul masters with twin martial souls and those with only one was that when soul masters with twin martial souls switched between their martial souls, their soul power would swiftly fuse with that martial soul.
Huo Yuhao’s spiritual power was sufficiently strong at this point that he could even use both of his martial souls at the same time under certain circumstances. Using both martial souls at the same time meant fusing one distinct part of his soul power with his respective martial souls at the same time.
He couldn’t do it for a prolonged period of time, and could only do it once or twice before he had to choose one martial soul. However, this method undoubtedly enabled him to connect his two martial souls more perfectly in an actual battle, and if this connection was utilized appropriately, it would be no different from using both martial souls at the same time.
Huo Yuhao had only just mastered this method. It was a pity that his newfound ability was far from sufficient against an Ultimate Douluo like Ye Xishui. He didn’t even have a chance to use it.
The Mysterious Heaven Technique’s pure soul power began to rotate in Huo Yuhao’s palm. To ensure his safety, Huo Yuhao only used half the soul power that he had used when he was experimenting inside his body.
Milky-white soul power continued to rotate, and gradually became like a whirlpool. It was like a ball of milky-white liquid, and it seemed very strange and unique.
Huo Yuhao allowed it to start its rotations before he gradually began to compress the milky-white soul power while it rotated.
He was very careful with his movements, and he made the compression process as balanced as possible; doing so would hopefully avoid the phenomenon that had occurred the last time, where some parts solidified, while other parts remained in liquid form. Since he had decided to do this, he would have to do it a perfectly as possible. Only then would he achieve the best results.
Milky-white light shone faintly. Huo Yuhao concentrated on his task, and the white whirlpool’s volume quickly became smaller under his manipulation. It didn’t take long before it was half its original size.
Huo Yuhao was especially meticulous in controlling the whirlpool this time, so it didn’t show any signs of solidifying. It only became a lot thicker, and rotating it seemed to become increasingly harder.
Huo Yuhao used even more spiritual power. With his prior experience, he immediately raised his spiritual power while he made sure he was even more careful with his manipulation.
The small white whirlpool became increasingly small, while the milky-white hues became increasingly withdrawn as the thick liquid-like state began to solidify. It started to spin faster and faster under Huo Yuhao’s control.
Huo Yuhao remembered very clearly that every single existence that resembled black holes in the Beast God’s body were rotating at a speed that was almost indiscernible to the naked eye. Their rotation speeds were evidently important to utilizing spatial power.
He didn’t know the trick to that yet, so he had to experiment according to what he could observe.
The whirlpool began to rotate even faster while it became even smaller, and it slowly began to solidify.
Huo Yuhao could feel that he was on to something. The tiny whirlpool was gradually compressed to the size of a yellow bean – it had become completely solid at this point, and was shaped like a funnel. It continued rotating vigorously, while the soul power aura that it was emanating became increasingly weak.
Does this mean that I can solidify my soul power, and store it externally? That’s just miraculous. If I can do that, what will happen if I place this highly compressed soul power into Milk Bottles? What kind of effect will I achieve?
Milk Bottles were useful, but the soul power they could contain was ultimately limited, and even Milk Bottles of higher classes were only equivalent to a Soul Sage’s soul power. Milk Bottles weren’t that important for higher-tier soul engineers.
Perhaps I can devise a Milk Bottle of an even higher class if I didn’t have any distractions?
Huo Yuhao was elated from his surprise discovery. He began to observe the milky funnel even more intricately, without overlooking any details. He continued to use more spiritual power at the same time to compress the funnel, and so that he could keep it rotating.
The yellow bean gradually became the size of a green bean. Huo Yuhao could feel that his soul power was being compressed almost to its maximum level, while its rotation speed seemed to have reached a limit as well. It would be difficult for his spiritual power to make it spin even faster.
But its volume hasn’t changed qualitatively. No matter how I look at it, it’s just a small object that’s spinning continuously!
How did this happen? When it was inside my body previously, I hadn’t compressed it to such a level, and it had already begun absorbing my soul power!
Right – it has to continuously absorb soul power?
Huo Yuhao’s eyes lit up. He carefully released a little more soul power – indeed, the solid funnel that was spinning furiously sensed Huo Yuhao’s soul power, and seems to quiver subtly before a powerful gravitational force immediately emerged from it and swallowed the soul power that Huo Yuhao had released.
The tiny funnel began to spin even faster after swallowing that bit of soul power. Furthermore, the gravitational force that it produced began to strengthen, and Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the little thing was starting to consume the origin energy of heaven and earth around it as well. That wasn’t all – this gravitational force was acting on his own body as well, as if it wanted to absorb even more of his soul power.
This process was just so strange. Huo Yuhao was very excited at this point, and he immediately released another thread of soul power for the funnel to absorb as he closely monitored the funnel’s transformations.
The tiny funnel began to spin even faster after it consumed that soul power, and was now spinning at a speed that was so quick that Huo Yuhao could barely see what state it was in. More importantly, the funnel no longer needed Huo Yuhao’s spiritual power to control it after it absorbed his soul power. It could now maintain its high rotation speed on its own. At the same time, it began to absorb the origin energy around it more quickly.
Is it strengthening itself on its own? Have I done it?
Fifteen minutes had gone by since Huo Yuhao had released this thing, and more and more strange and mystical phenomena gradually began to appear on it.
Huo Yuhao’s mind was steady and calm. He didn’t continue releasing soul power into the funnel under such circumstances – instead, he focused on closely observing how the funnel transformed after absorbing more of the origin energy of heaven and earth.
The funnel’s volume had evidently increased after absorbing his soul power twice. Its mass had increased to that of a yellow bean after both instances.
The funnel’s volume was increasing at a decreasing rate as it continued to absorb the origin energy around it. However, it was still increasing in size as it continued absorbing energy, and its rotation speed continued to increase as well.
Huo Yuhao attempted to attach his spiritual power to the funnel. He could still do it in the beginning, but now his spiritual power was tossed back out very quickly.
