Volume 34, Chapter 459.2: Fusion of Soul Cores (1/2)

There were fine golden waves rippling continuously around the black hole. These golden waves gradually froze and took shape, and Huo Yuhao discovered to his surprise that they actually took a strange eye-like shape, while the black hole in the middle was the pupil.

This… is this my soul core?

Elder Xuan was watching him from the beginning to the end. In this moment, he shared the same shock and astonishment.

Huo Yuhao had formed his own soul core as a Soul Sage. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing, let alone seen one! He had witnessed a miracle happen with own eyes, and was filled with pleasant surprise.

Furthermore, he obtained some inspirations from Huo Yuhao when he was compressing his mixture. Huo Yuhao’s compression method was different from typical soul masters. He was clearly using a lot more spiritual power than soul power, and when his element finally fused with his soul core, his martial soul seemed to become his main guide. This order looked very important. In the instant when the soul core collapsed inward, its soul power undulations were unnaturally stable, and it didn’t need any external strength to control it.

The soul core had been formed in this moment, and it no longer absorbed Huo Yuhao’s soul power. It was only gently absorbing the origin energy of heaven and earth in the air. However, the deep darkness within it and the aura of the mixture itself clearly gave Elder Xuan a feeling that this core wasn’t that much different from that of a Transcendent Douluo. The only difference was that it was a little smaller.

“Yuhao, try to absorb it. However, you have to be very careful – if you feel like your body can’t take it anymore, release it immediately. You’ll have to risk regressing your cultivation instead of forcing yourself. Otherwise, this soul core can obliterate you with its power. You should feel whether your body can take its power once it enters you. Remember – don’t force yourself. If you feel even a little bit like you’re forcing yourself, don’t try fusing with the soul core.”

“Yes,” Huo Yuhao steeled his nerves. He was still very much overcome by surprise, because he realized that soul power was coming back into his body when it was originally empty of it. Furthermore, his soul power was recovering faster than before, and his spiritual power was recovering at a similar speed. Everything seemed connected to his soul core.

Huo Yuhao wasn’t overly hasty to absorb the soul core. Instead, he crossed his legs and sat down in front of it. He channeled his soul power quietly as he replenished it while he observed any changes that were happening in the mixture.

Elder Xuan was momentarily stunned before he said hurriedly, “Wait for a moment before you absorb it – your soul core seems different from most. It’s far too stable, and it doesn’t seem like it will lose control or become unstable even without your control. If that’s the case, you can try recovering all your soul power and spiritual power before attempting to absorb it. Don’t worry, I will observe from the side, and will immediately warn you if something is wrong with it.”

Huo Yuhao nodded toward Elder Xuan. His own feelings were identical to those of Elder Xuan, except this was his first time forming a soul core, so he didn’t know what it was supposed to be like.

Elder Xuan drew a cold breath. This was the first time he had seen such a stable soul core that was almost near perfection. Did this mean that soul masters could create a soul core such as this before becoming a Transcendent Douluo, as long as their spiritual power far exceeded their soul power?

Typically, Titled Douluo would have to immediately absorb their soul cores after completing them when they were breaking through to become a Transcendent Douluo. Otherwise, if their soul cores became unstable, everything that they had worked for could possibly be for nothing, while the soul core could possibly hurt the Titled Douluo’s own body.

Huo Yuhao’s soul core was different from the rest – it was so stable that it was almost like a normal object. Quite a long time had passed since the soul core was formed. However, it was still extremely stable, and the way it absorbed the origin energy of heaven and earth wasn’t as forceful and ferocious as that of a Transcendent Douluo’s soul core. But this kind of stability was even more precious and hard to come by.

It seems like Huo Yuhao might have a chance to fuse with his soul core successfully! That was just unimaginable. Elder Xuan was witnessing yet another miracle from Huo Yuhao.

Time continued to pass. Huo Yuhao’s soul power and spiritual power were recovering at an astonishing speed, and it took him less than an hour before he reopened his eyes, back to his peak condition.

“Can I begin, Elder Xuan?” Huo Yuhao turned toward Elder Xuan.

Elder Xuan was astonished. “Your soul power and spiritual power have recovered?”

Huo Yuhao nodded.

Elder Xuan didn’t ask any further. Instead, he tilted his head and said, “Yes, then you may begin. Remember what I’ve said before – it would be better for you to not complete the fusion than take any risks.”

“Yes.” Huo Yuhao acknowledged and turned his gaze toward his soul core.
