The Ultimate Ascension

The White Tiger phantom threw back its head and roared.

A massive Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram appeared beneath the White Tiger's feet, helping her stabilize the enormous White Tiger that had just formed from the fusion.

The attributes of light and darkness restrained each other, yet also depended on each other.

Drawn by these opposing forces, Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul began to transform.

Because her Martial Soul had awakened early, its enhancement had not reached its limit.

This meant that even though she had twice as much time as others to cultivate every day, her progress was still not much faster than those with Innate Full Soul Power. In the early stages, other soul masters with Innate Full Soul Power could raise their cultivation by at least three levels a year.

Under normal circumstances, she could only raise hers by two levels.

The reason Zhu Zhuqing had been able to catch up to the Cultivation Speed of those with Innate Full Soul Power despite having only Level 7 Innate Soul Power in the original story—

Was simply because she cultivated like her life depended on it.

She had even cultivated without regard for the damage to her body!

If not for the Narcissus Jade Bone repairing her bodily damage later on, Soul Emperor would probably have been the limit of her entire life.

Now, although her talent had improved, there were also more things she needed to do for the sake of strength.

She had to undergo Body Tempering, practice Self-Created Soul Skills, and hunt soul beasts herself.

After a full year, she could only raise her Soul Power by four levels.

It was truly dragging down the dignity of a transmigrator like her.

But today, after completing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she felt it.

Her chance to make up the final piece of her puzzle had arrived!

Under the effects of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, the Nether Shadow White Tiger gradually became more solid.

The powers of light and darkness gradually grew stronger as they intertwined.

Her Innate Soul Power had originally been firmly fixed at Level 9.

The quality of her Martial Soul had also been set at the level of a top-tier Martial Soul.

But amid the confrontation between light and darkness, the two forces clashed and harmonized, gradually becoming purer.

Roar!

Suddenly, the Shadow Holy Tiger raised its head and let out another roar.

The tiger's roar shook the forest, and the entire valley began to tremble. The trees swayed as though they were about to topple.

Countless tiny soul beasts trembled beneath that roar, not even daring to stand up and flee!

Black and white light spread outward from the valley, vanishing in a flash!

The scene returned to the valley!

Within the valley, the mighty big tiger had vanished. In its place stood a female soul master clad in White Tiger battle armor.

She appeared to be around 1.7 meters tall. With ten-centimeter heels, she stood a full 1.8 meters tall, and her curvaceous figure was made even more striking by the battle armor.

A mask covered her eyes, leaving only her mouth exposed, giving her an exceptionally heroic air.

A pair of black-and-white wings slowly flapped behind her, showing that she could fly through the air.

The surging aura around her body made her formidable strength abundantly clear.

And there was also...

"Did my Martial Soul evolve?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her hands.

This suit of battle armor covered nearly every part of her body.

Even her face was covered.

Although there was an opening around her mouth, with a mere thought, even that final weakness could be covered by her faceplate.

Most importantly, she could feel that her talent was finally complete!

Her Innate Soul Power had reached the limit of this world, becoming true Innate Full Soul Power.

And...

With a thought from Zhu Zhuqing, two clusters of energy appeared in her hands.

"Ultimate light, ultimate darkness!"

Looking at the two masses of Soul Power in her hands, representing Ultimate Attributes, Zhu Zhuqing's lips suddenly curved upward.

Though her start had been a little poor, through her unrelenting efforts, she had finally forced her talent to the limit that ordinary people in this world could reach!

The blessings of gods lay beyond the limits of ordinary people.

Under the effects of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi, her two Martial Souls, which had only been a tiny step away from Ultimate Attributes, successfully evolved!

Her innate level had risen along with them.

Innate Full Soul Power! Now, her Cultivation Speed could finally leave the protagonist group so far behind that they would not even see her taillights!

Wait!

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly clutched her head and crouched down.

If she remembered correctly, soul masters with Ultimate Attributes cultivated incredibly quickly before Level 30.

But after reaching Level 30, their Cultivation Speed became ridiculously slow until Level 70.

Just look at Qian Renxue!

She had Level 20 Innate Soul Power and an Angel Martial Soul with the Ultimate Light Attribute. With talent like that, even cultivating with her eyes closed should not have been slow.

Yet the reality was that she was nearly thirty and only a little over Level 70.

How badly had that held her back?!

Although Extreme Martial Souls gave their wielders the strength to challenge opponents a major realm above them without losing, their slow cultivation was an enormous disadvantage!

"Why did they have to evolve into Extreme Martial Souls?"

Zhu Zhuqing had finally been about to experience the Cultivation Speed of Innate Full Soul Power.

But now she was being told that the experience would only last until Level 30.

Damn!

Extreme Martial Souls were great, but her previous top-tier Martial Souls had not been much worse!

Ah!

Zhu Zhuqing did not have much time to sigh while clutching her head, because...

The originally cool and aloof female warrior suddenly began flickering in and out.

After flickering twice, the regal warrior goddess suddenly turned into a pitiful, adorable girl.

Her Innate Soul Power had broken through by one level, triggering a chain reaction that caused Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power to rise by one level as well, reaching the terrifying Level 20.

An eight-year-old Level 20 soul master—there had probably only ever been one in the entire continent.

Qian Renxue had been a Level 20 soul master at six years old. The two were not even on the same level, so do not compare them!

But even with Level 20 Soul Power, she was still struggling to sustain the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Judging by how she felt—

At her peak, if she used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she could probably maintain it for around a minute.

As for what level of combat power she could reach during that minute...

Honestly, she really did not know.

But she was definitely stronger than a Soul Ancestor. It was even possible that she could rival a Soul King!

After all, the fusion of two Ultimate Martial Souls would certainly be stronger than the fusion of top-tier Martial Souls.

"My Soul Power is exhausted. I'll recover it first, then get ready to hunt soul beasts!"

Zhu Zhuqing stood up.

Although her Soul Power was exhausted, her advantage over ordinary soul masters lay in her exceptionally powerful physique.

When others exhausted their Soul Power, their entire bodies went limp and weak.

Even with her Soul Power depleted, she could still fight another battle with her physical body.

She was simply inhuman!

But that was the benefit!

What was wrong with having a stronger physique after being nourished by an enormous amount of Soul Power?

If they had the ability, let those soul masters spend seven or eight hours a day using the Soul Power they cultivated to nourish their bodies too!

If they could not, then they should stop whining.

A fierce life needed no explanation!

Others weakly said, "We can only cultivate for six hours a day at most. That is not even enough to match the time you spend cultivating your body, okay? ~_~!"

Leaving the messy valley behind, Zhu Zhuqing returned to the Simulated Cultivation Room she had moved into.

Starting today, she would have the Cultivation Speed of Innate Full Soul Power, though she could only experience it for another ten levels!
