Tie Li had entered a special state, attempting to break through to Rank 98.
Every breakthrough now brought an enormous increase in Soul Power. Even at the peak of Rank 97, breaking through to Rank 98 was extraordinarily difficult.
The two great Soul Cores within him each represented an ultimate attribute. When they spun at high speed, the Soul Power they generated would produce destructive force capable of tearing space apart when it intertwined.
Tie Li wanted to use this to condense his third Soul Core, attempting to break through the bottleneck and step into Rank 98.
He had devoted himself to it completely, forgetting everything around him. This seemed extremely dangerous, but invisible spatial rifts filled the area around Tie Li.
Any rash attack against Tie Li would only result in being torn apart by those spatial rifts.
Yet Tie Li was unable to succeed. Condensing a third Soul Core was far from as simple as it appeared.
With his current physique, he could absolutely withstand the condensation of a third Soul Core, but the birth of a third Soul Core was not as simple as it seemed.
The first and second Soul Cores had been condensed because of his own power—the ultimate lightning of his first martial soul and the destruction attribute of his second martial soul. Only with the power of their origins had he successfully condensed the two great Soul Cores.
However, this third Soul Core was not Tie Li's own power. It was born when the two great Soul Cores intertwined, lacking the most direct source power, making success difficult.
Tie Li did not choose to give up. This vague and elusive power was difficult to control, but it was not without hope.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing was about to begin her sixth trial.
