Inner Core and Soul Core

Quan Li's gaze swept across the area, and he realized that he was currently positioned above the corpse of the Evil Orca King. The hard texture beneath him and the terrifying residual power that sent chills down his spine confirmed his suspicions.

It's hard to believe that he actually killed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Although he won effortlessly throughout the entire process, only he himself was able to absorb this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

This made him beam with joy.

However, he soon realized that now was not the time to be happy.

Quan Li got up and looked around to observe the surroundings.

He found himself at the head of the Evil Orca King. From this vantage point, the sea had returned to calm, and hundreds of enormous corpses lay scattered across its surface, the pungent smell of blood masking the salty stench of the ocean.

The vast majority of these corpses were those of the Evil Spirit Orca, clearly indicating that a great battle had quietly come to an end while he was unconscious.

Amidst the corpses, Demon Soul Great White Shark Pod swam in the sea of blood.

As he shifted his body slightly, his gaze swept behind him.

Suddenly, he turned around abruptly, and a terrifying scene unfolded before his eyes.

The carcass of the Giant Whale, which was 35 meters long, was cut into two pieces.

Opposite him, the remnants of a whale tail floated, while he stood where the head remained.

The largest part of the torso in the middle has long since vanished.

The severed area of the body still bears prominent scorch marks, indicating the extreme heat the body had endured.

"Did I really do this?"

Quan Li stared in disbelief at the terrifying damage inflicted by the Blazing Sun Dragon Spear, unable to calm down for Jiujiu.

"How long was I unconscious?" Quan Li asked.

"It's been about half an hour. During this time, Xiao Bai and the others have finished their battle, so you can safely absorb the Soul Ring now."

Without Xiao Bai's help, they would have had absolutely no chance of dealing with the remaining Evil Spirit Orca Pod on their own.

In this way, even if they successfully kill the Evil Orca King, they will not have a stable environment to absorb the Soul Ring.

Quan Li was surprised that he had been unconscious for half an hour, but recalling the terror of that attack, he felt fortunate instead.

Quan Li turned around again and walked towards the location of the Soul Ring.

As he walked, he discovered that Huo Wu was also lying on the corpse.

He quickly stepped forward to check on Huo Wu and found that Huo Wu was fast asleep with her eyes closed.

Quan Li immediately recognized that this was caused by a lack of Soul Power and Divine Power.

Thinking that Huo Wu had gotten into this situation because of him, he felt both heartache and guilt towards Huo Wu.

Quan Yi walked over to Quan Li and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu will recover after a good night's sleep."

Moreover, Grandpa should worry more about himself than Xiao Wu right now.

Absorbing Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is no less difficult than hunting.

Quan Li tenderly patted Huo Wu's head, then resolutely stood up and walked towards the location of the Soul Ring.

At this moment, Xiao Bai, who was cleaning up the battlefield, transformed into human form and came to Quan Yi's side.

"Given your grandfather's physical strength, if he were to absorb an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, there would be absolutely no problem."

However, the Evil Orca King is no ordinary Soul Beast; its Soul Ring energy is not only enormous but also extremely domineering.

Given his physical condition, he probably won't last much longer. What are your plans?

Quan Yi smiled faintly and said, "You'll see soon enough."

As he spoke, Scarlet Dragon Horns and Scarlet Dragon Eye reappeared on his forehead.

However, the originally vermilion dragon horns have become somewhat dull, as their energy was almost completely depleted in this battle.

Quan Yi, whose Divine Power was severely depleted, was even unable to activate the Energy Absorption effect and could only let it absorb energy automatically.

Quan Yi opened his Dragon Pupil and looked at Quan Li. From now on, he would have to monitor Quan Li's condition throughout the entire process.

Quan Li sat cross-legged beneath the Soul Ring, summoning his Martial Soul and drawing the Soul Ring to him.

As the Soul Ring approach, the surging energy gives one the illusion of facing a raging tsunami.

His intuition told him that his body absolutely could not withstand the impact of this energy.

However, he had Quan Yi behind him. Although he felt somewhat ashamed, Quan Yi was like Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle, giving him inner peace.

His eyes narrowed, and he reached out to accept the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"Hmm!"

A violent energy erupted from Quan Li's body; from the very beginning, the energy of the Soul Ring had been fiercely impacting Quan Li's meridians.

Quan Li's Physical Quality are definitely not weak for Tool Soul Master, but he is getting old after all, and his body is no longer in its best condition.

However, he can compensate for his physical weaknesses in other ways.

At the same time as receiving the Soul Ring, the Soul Core in the dantian operates wildly, and the terrifying suction force directly absorbs the energy in the meridians and transforms it into Soul Power.

The rotating Soul Core, in its rotation, continuously wears down the violent energy within it and condenses the pure energy into a solid.

The size of the Soul Core also increases continuously during this process, and the impact on the meridians is minimized.

Outsiders, Xiao Bai was also surprised to see that Quan Li had withstood the initial impact.

"Sure enough, this aura is the Inner Core. This is the first time I have ever sensed the aura of Inner Core from a human."

"Inner Core?" Quan Yi was puzzled by this unfamiliar term.

Xiao Bai explained, "Inner Core is a special item that only a few exceptionally talented Soul Beast can condense."

It not only contains most of the Soul Beast's cultivation, but can also accelerate the Soul Beast's cultivation speed.

The aura of Inner Core is emanating from your grandfather's womb.

Soul Beast can also condense Soul Core!

This information was unexpected for Quan Yi, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

Soul Beast and Spirit Master possess the same Soul Power. It doesn't make sense that humans can do things that Soul Beast cannot.

Just as Quan Yi was sighing, Quan Li's situation suddenly changed.

The already violent energy surge became even more intense.

The conversion rate of the Soul Core cannot keep up with the output of the Soul Ring energy.

Xiao Bai said regretfully, "This is Soul Shock. It's the remnant resentment of the Evil Orca King affecting the absorption of the Soul Ring."

Sure enough, the final attack woke him up!

If the Evil Orca King is killed without its knowledge, it will not harbor resentment.

However, in the very end, the Evil Orca King sensed the aura of extreme yang and also felt the approach of death.

This caused its soul to harbor resentment.

That's why Xiao Bai said those words.

This Quan Yi had heard the term "Soul Shock," but he was not unfamiliar with the Soul Shock.

Just as Xiao Bai sensed it, Quan Yi had been waiting for a long time.

Quan Yi's Soul Power surged, Blazing Sun Gauntlets instantly appeared on his hands, while the Soul Ring behind him lit up at the same moment.

Sixth Soul Skill: Scarlet Dragon Descent.

Crimson energy surged wildly into Quan Yi's right arm, and from his shoulder, a thick, energy-formed giant dragon claw appeared.

The right claw made a feint at the chest, and the Blazing Sun Heart on the chest lit up. The Supreme Blazing Sun Dragon Spear was firmly grasped by the right claw.
