Self-Created Soul Skill: Heaven-Opening Seal, a Vast and Great Consciousness

An unprecedented sense of power surged through his body. His physique exploded, and the use of his Soul Skill brought Tang Shan's normal strength to an extremely abnormal level. What surged within him was not only Frenzy power, but also exaggerated numerical values.

The Heaven and Earth Essence continued to flow into his body, and his already vigorous power continued to rise.

Faced with the surging power within him, Tang Shan, in a state of enlightenment, easily suppressed the illusion that it could overturn the world, and then continued to evolve his Self-Created Soul Skill in this state of amplification to the Limit.

Dugu Bo's mouth was agape, staring dumbfounded at Tang Shan, who was cultivating in the valley. His enormous size and the terrifying aura he exuded made him wonder: was the person before him a Soul Elder or a Soul Saint?

Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. He had long known that Tang Shan was exceptionally strong, but he hadn't expected that after breaking through to Soul Elder, Tang Shan's strength would undergo such a dramatic change simply by absorbing one more Soul Ring. After all, Tang Shan had almost never gone all out since breaking through to Soul Elder.

The Vital Essence was churning wildly, transforming into visible vortices that swirled around Tang Shan, compressing the air to the point of utter despair. His punches and kicks unfolded slowly, the movements so slow they seemed to freeze time, yet they carried the primordial rhythm of the beginning of creation. An ancient, vast, and seemingly timeless essence was condensing layer upon layer from his body.

The massive figure stood in the center of the vortex, and with every move it made, it stirred up the surging and turbulent Heaven and Earth Essence and earth, causing even the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to tremble. Dugu Bo and Golden Crocodile Douluo were mesmerized, and an uncontrollable thought arose in their minds: Was the person before them a young Soul Elder, or an ancient god who had survived from the primordial era to the present day, now practicing the Dao in the mortal world!

The extremely slow movements possessed a visually stunning impact, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, and a power that was building up to its limit, as if it would break free from the constraints of heaven and earth at any moment.

At that moment, Tang Shan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his right hand formed a complex and profound hand seal. In an instant, the surging Qi and Blood, the powerful Soul Power, and the refined Mental Power within his body, like three giant dragons breaking free from their restraints, all rushed wildly to his palm. Under the guidance of the hand seal, they collided, merged, and unified!

Three forces Entanglement and swirled in his palm, bursting forth with a dazzling yet understated aura, ultimately coalescing into an ancient and unadorned illusory behemoth—a creation forged from his will as its core and the three primordial forces as its edge, a weapon capable of splitting the heavens and earth!

Tang Shan lowered his arm slightly, then suddenly exerted force. The illusory giant blade, carrying the power to crush everything, followed an indescribable trajectory and suddenly slashed down!

Buzz!

A deep hum echoed through the valley, as vast as the formless and as silent as the great sound. The two Titled Douluo were secretly watching only felt a blur before their eyes, as if a colossal weapon that could pierce through heaven and earth and control life and death had flashed past their vision. When they focused their attention again, a hideous crack, hundreds of feet long and bottomless, had appeared on the side wall of the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located.

The entire process was completely silent, without the slightest earth-shattering sound, as if the crack had been engraved in the mountain wall since the birth of heaven and earth. Only the terrifyingly powerful force directly crushed the mountain rocks along the way into imperceptible dust, yet it was firmly locked within the crack, without the slightest aftershock leaking out.

My Self-Created Soul Skill, Heaven-Opening Seal, is complete!

Call!

Tang Shan let out a long breath, and his massive body shrank rapidly at a visible speed. His naked body lost its strength.

Supported by the weight, he slumped backward, the flashes of inspiration and extraordinary thoughts surging in his mind quickly subsided, and his consciousness went black as he fell into a coma.

Silence!

Dugu Bo and Golden Crocodile Douluo fell into a long silence almost simultaneously. Their consciousness was still immersed in the shock of Tang Shan's Heaven -Heaven-Opening Seal, and they were unable to recover for Jiujiu.

"This is Self-Created Soul Skill? What level of Self-Created Soul Skill is this?" Dugu Bo was the first to come back to his senses, muttering to himself, his eyes filled with intense self-doubt.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was completely dumbfounded. Dugu Bo's cultivation was not high enough to see the intricacies of the Heaven-Opening Seal, but Golden Crocodile Douluo saw it clearly: this Soul Skill was the result of the perfect fusion of Mental Power, Soul Power, and Qi and Blood, and its power was enough to pose a fatal threat to Soul Saint who had opened his Martial Soul Avatar.

Even more astonishing than its power was Tang Shan's skill in fusing the three elements. In all his years, he could only barely achieve a preliminary fusion of Soul Power and Qi and Blood; Qian Daoliu could achieve a preliminary fusion of Soul Power and Mental Power. As for the unification of all three, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it. Yet Tang Shan's performance just now made him realize that "your end is my beginning."

Dugu Bo flashed and slowly landed beside Tang Shan to check the situation. However, Golden Crocodile Douluo had already used his Mental Power to check that apart from his Qi and Blood, Soul Power, and Mental Power being nearly exhausted, Tang Shan had no injuries. Being able to unleash such an outrageous Self-Created Soul Skill, his unconsciousness was just a normal overexertion of power.

What they didn't know was that even if Tang Shan didn't Heaven-Opening Seal, once he naturally broke free from the state of enlightenment, he would uncontrollably fall into a coma.

This is not a side effect, but rather the brain's instinctive protection: if one is immersed in that kind of enlightenment that transcends cognition for a long time, without the vast mind of a sage who bears witness to the rise and fall of civilization, the moment one withdraws, one will suffer a mental breakdown due to the cognitive gap. That gap is enough to shatter any will.

After confirming that Tang Shan was unharmed, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. If something had happened to Tang Shan, not only would he have been unable to explain it to Xue Qinghe, but he would also have had a headache dealing with his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, for a long time.

Composing himself, Dugu Bo took the time to examine the Medicine Garden. The next moment, the corner of his mouth twitched violently. The flowers and plants on the outer perimeter were fine, but the core immortal Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were reduced to bare roots and stems, the rest of them completely looted.

"Good grief! I told you to leave the stem, and you really only left the root!"

Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched violently, and he wanted nothing more than to wake Tang Shan and give him a beating, but he forcibly restrained himself. Calm down, I told him to take everything but leave the roots. He even left some rare herbs from the outer ring, which is not bad. As for whether the inner ring of immortal Immortal Herb is more precious, he could only console himself:

Those flowers and plants grow strangely and are probably useless.

As Titled Douluo, he couldn't bring himself to steal Tang Shan's Soul Tool to get back the Immortal Herb. With a pained look at the messy Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo took out a set of clothes from the Soul Tool, casually put them on Tang Shan, picked him up with one hand, and flew towards Heaven Dou City.

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at the swaying Tang Shan without saying much. He knew Tang Shan's physical body was incredibly strong, and seeing the miserable Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he guessed that Tang Shan had gained a tremendous benefit. It was normal for Dugu Bo to be so hostile. He clicked his tongue, took one last look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and then transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing towards Heaven Dou City —he had to hurry. If Xiao Xue saw Tang Shan unconscious and impulsively drew the Angel Holy Sword to attack Dugu Bo, things wouldn't look good.

Long after the two had left, the space beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well rippled slightly, and a vague, vast, gentle, and magnificent aura emanated from it.

Zhi slowly withdrew. Immediately afterwards, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot emerged from the spring and lava, took root again, continued to absorb spiritual energy and grow, waiting for their destined user.

Crown Prince's Residence's residence, the Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly descended. Xue Qinghe was already pacing back and forth beside the recliner, his handsome face full of anxiety, his hands behind his back, his fingertips constantly rubbing together.

Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo return, Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed with urgency, but he still quickly stepped forward and asked calmly, "Grandpa, how is it?"

"That kid gained quite a bit from Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden. When I arrived, he was in the midst of a sudden enlightenment, and after using his Self-Created Soul Skill, he collapsed from exhaustion." Golden Crocodile Douluo explained the whole story in a few words, adding, "Aside from the exhaustion, he suffered no other damage, so don't worry."

Xue Qinghe breathed a long sigh of relief, his tense body instantly relaxing. "It's good that you're alright. He's my right-hand man; if anything had happened to him, it would have been a real problem."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was too lazy to expose her little scheme; he was stubborn but acted faster than anyone else.

Just then, a maidservant hurried over, bowed, and reported, "Your Highness, His Majesty Dugu has come to visit, and he is carrying—"

Before he could finish speaking, Xue Qinghe raised his hand to interrupt him, "Go and invite His Majesty Dugu in. Never mind, I'll go with you."

After speaking, Xue Qinghe took the lead and walked towards the gate of the mansion, with the maidservant quickly following behind.

"Your Highness, during this period, two Body Soul Masters have successfully mastered the basic Stance Technique: Tai Fen, with a hand-shaped Martial Soul, and Bo Te a double-leg Martial Soul."

The maid's clear report reached Tang Shan's ears, who was in a daze, gradually bringing him back to his senses.

"Why are there so few people?" Xue Qinghe's voice carried a hint of authority, already showing some of the demeanor of a future Heaven Dou Emperor. "Ten Body Soul Master, only two of them are beginners. What are the rest doing? Senior Golden Crocodile doesn't have that much time to waste."

"Your Highness, Senior Golden Crocodile said that they have relied on their Martial Soul for combat for a long time and neglected their physical training, resulting in hidden injuries. It will take them some time before they can master the basic Stance Technique." The maid replied cautiously.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave." Xue Qinghe's voice returned to its calm state, devoid of any emotion, truly exuding "majesty."

Just then, Tang Shan's consciousness fully returned, his eyes snapped open, a glint of light flashing in his dark pupils before quickly returning to calm. He subconsciously looked around, seeing the carved wooden bed and the exquisite furnishings, and instantly realized—this was his room in the Crown Prince's Residence's residence.

Memories flooded back: the profound mystery of the flow of Heaven and Earth Essence during the moment of enlightenment, the precise points where Qi and Blood, Mental Power, and Soul Power converged, the perfect trajectory of the hand seals guiding the power, and finally, the Heaven-Opening Seal one's might—every detail was clearly imprinted in my mind.

The Heaven-Opening Seal!

Tang Shan silently recited the words in his heart, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes.

This Self-Created Soul Skill is both profound and simple.

It is considered profound because it requires the practitioner to perfectly fuse the three major energies: Qi and Blood and qi as the foundation, Soul Power as the sharp edge, and Mental Power as the guide. The slightest deviation will result in a backlash of power.

It is simple because he personally forged this Soul Skill. He knows every movement of power and every moment of fusion like the back of his hand. He doesn't need to memorize it. He can use it at will with just a thought.

Tang Shan clearly sensed his control over the three forces: Qi and Blood and blood moved at will, Soul Power flowed at will, and Mental Power changed at will.

Simply using Mental Power to activate the Heaven-Opening Seal is an invisible impact that directly pierces the spirit;

When wielded with Soul Power, it becomes a gigantic energy blade capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks;

Driven by Qi and Blood, it possesses earth-shattering physical power.

Tang Shan slowly clenched his fist, clearly feeling the three major forces flowing smoothly within his body. Through this enlightenment and the use of the Heaven-Opening Seal, his application of Qi and Blood, Soul Power, and Mental Power had reached an unprecedented level of perfection, with no shortcomings whatsoever.
