Chapter 190: Breaking the Limit, the Second Opponent
The Spiritual Sea was not a physical domain, but a realm where thoughts and Soul Power were fully manifested.
Having cultivated to her current level, Ye Guyi's spiritual power had long since transcended the realm of being formless and substanceless, reaching the supreme level of being "tangible and substantial."
Normally, this vast and majestic spiritual power was like flowing liquid light-flames, filling every inch of her Sea of Consciousness. Not only could it be projected outward to interfere with reality, but it also contained powerful soul prestige.
However, although this power was massive and condensed, it had not yet been integrated into an ultimate core.
Now, under Lei Chen's guidance, she began the arduous process of compressing and sublimating this "tangible and substantial" vast spiritual power into a more primordial and stable form.
This process was even more dangerous than compressing Soul Power.
Tangible and substantial spiritual power already possessed near-physical characteristics; its "weight" and "inertia" were beyond imagination. The backlash caused by forced compression was enough to shatter the soul of a Limit Douluo.
Ye Guyi maintained a speck of clarity in her mind's eye, using her resilient will—tempered by the Angel God's power—as a forging hammer and her supreme conviction to recast the angel's glory as a furnace, as she began to slowly constrict that spiritual power which resembled an ocean of light.
At first, that "ocean" only rippled slightly, but as the compression proceeded, invisible pressure began to manifest.
The liquid light-flames began to fluctuate violently, emitting a hum—like the twisting of metal—that only the soul could perceive. Ye Guyi felt a tearing, swelling pain in her forehead, a direct manifestation of the spiritual power's physical form resisting the compression.
Her resolve was like iron, unwavering. The power of her conviction and her will fused completely, turning into an unshakable divine cornerstone that pushed this transformation forward firmly and steadily.
Time lost its meaning in deep meditation. Atop the snowy mountain peak, the cold wind witnessed a peak powerhouse of the mortal world making a final sprint toward a higher level. Lei Chen stood quietly to the side, his gaze as clear as a mirror.
He could see that the originally restrained sacred aura around Ye Guyi's body was reflecting the pure light at her forehead, which was becoming increasingly dazzling and stable.
That light was not illusory but a glow emitted by a highly condensed spiritual essence, showing a faint tendency to burst through her body and reflect into reality.
In Ye Guyi's spiritual world, it had reached the most critical moment. The vast, ocean-like tangible spiritual power was compressed to a limit threshold, forming an extremely brilliant, high-speed rotating solid vortex core.
At the center of the vortex, the pressure was enough to crush refined gold. The form of the spiritual power was undergoing its final leap from "substantial" to a more eternal and immortal "primordial crystal" state!
"Condense!"
Deep within her soul, a mantra erupted. That solidified spiritual power vortex suddenly froze, then underwent an ultimate inward collapse and solidification, as if a star on the spiritual plane had been born.
"Keng—!"
A clear sound, like jade striking or a divine sword being unsheathed, rippled out from the source of her soul. Ye Guyi felt her entire consciousness being washed and sublimated, and the dimensions of her perception expanded infinitely.
In the center of her Sea of Consciousness at her forehead, a transparent crystal—only the size of a grain of rice yet as brilliant as the world's purest diamond, with soft and eternal radiance flowing through it—was slowly rotating. Every rhythmic pulse faintly harmonized with some primordial rhythm of heaven and earth.
The third soul core—the Spiritual Core, formed!
At the moment this spiritual primordial crystal was born, the soul cores in Ye Guyi's lower and middle dantians, as if summoned by a supreme monarch, instantly produced a perfect resonance with the spiritual soul core at her forehead.
The three major soul cores formed a stable, efficient, and endless triangular cycle system. Soul Power and spiritual power were no longer just simple coordination but had begun deep-level fusion and qualitative change.
Under the purification and guidance of the Spiritual Core, her Soul Power became more "spiritual," and its operational efficiency skyrocketed; meanwhile, the Spiritual Core received the nourishment and support of the majestic Soul Power, becoming increasingly stable and brilliant.
"Boom!"
A vast aura, far deeper and more magnificent than when she was at Level 98, as if faintly merging with the surrounding heaven and earth, erupted like a dormant volcano, soaring into the sky from within Ye Guyi's body.
The golden light-flames burning around her were no longer a scorching combustion but more like the manifestation of a pure law. The wings of the Six-winged Angel unfurled, and holy radiance flowed. The rocks beneath her feet silently turned into powder, then were cleansed into pure crystals by the sacred aura.
level 99! The peak of a Limit Douluo!
At this point, Ye Guyi truly stood at the apex of the mortal world, her life level having completed an astonishing leap. She opened her eyes, her golden pupils seemingly reflecting the light and shadows of laws, calm and profound.
Without needing to consciously perceive, the energy flow, life aura, and even the subtlest spatial fluctuations within a radius of dozens of miles were clearly reflected in her heart. With every move, her power was perfectly harmonious and flawless, as easy to use as her own limbs.
"Thank you, Plane Master, for your help!" Ye Guyi stood up and bowed solemnly to Lei Chen. This breakthrough's most critical point of enlightenment had indeed come from Lei Chen.
Lei Chen nodded slightly, not at all surprised by her success.
"The Spiritual Core has condensed, and the three major soul cores are balanced; your foundation is now perfect and flawless. In your current state, wielding the Angel Sword, your combat power is enough to rival a demi-god."
His tone was flat, yet he had accurately assessed Ye Guyi's strength. He then turned his gaze toward the void.
"Now, the next opponent: the Holy Spirit Cult Vice Cult Master, Feng Ling. Martial Soul, Evil Phoenix. Cultivation, demi-god."
As his voice fell, the space in front of Lei Chen rippled again. Dark purple phantom shadows even seeped from the cracks, and a violent, foul pressure filled with the aura of corruption preceded them.
"Li—!"
A phoenix cry, sharp enough to tear the soul, exploded with anger and arrogance. A streak of dark purple light surged out of the crack, and a figure appeared—it was indeed Feng Ling.
She wore a long dress and possessed an incomparably enchanting appearance, yet her eyes and brows were filled with ruthlessness and evil charm. Behind her, a pair of phoenix wings, formed entirely of dark purple evil energy, flapped slowly, emitting a terrifying aura that made one's blood boil and soul feel nauseated.
Her pressure was more than several times more condensed than that of the previous Holy Spirit Cult Great Elder; she had completely stepped into the demi-god level. The Evil Phoenix Domain unfolded on its own, turning her surroundings into a foul land filled with corruption.
"Respected Plane Master... what is the meaning of this?!" Feng Ling's gaze was first intimidated by Lei Chen, showing deep apprehension. But when her eyes locked onto Ye Guyi, especially when she felt that incomparably pure sacred aura—which was like poisonous sunlight to her—her apprehension instantly turned into ecstasy and greed.
"It's actually a Six-winged Angel! Such pure and sacred soul and flesh... it's simply the best sacrifice bestowed by heaven for me to stabilize my demi-god realm and charge toward the god-level!"
