"The elemental energy here is indeed quite chaotic." As he climbed the spiral staircase alone, Luo Ao also noticed the peculiar changes in this place.
In the corridor ahead of him, there were numerous spatial rifts that appeared from time to time, as well as Spatial Turbulence that blocked his way. Although the corridor was several hundred meters wide, it was possible to bypass these spatial rifts and continue forward if one was careful. However, these spatial rifts were not static and could change positions at any time. If it was easy to get in, it would be difficult to get out.
"Interesting." Without any hesitation, Luo Ao continued to climb forward, his figure nimbly weaving and moving upward between spatial rifts, skillfully avoiding one dangerous area after another.
His movements at that moment were like dancing on a knife's edge, appearing extremely dangerous.
However, with the Willpower, he was extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding space, so his movements were never flawed. But sometimes, when the Spatial Turbulence was too dense, he had no choice but to squeeze forward by clinging to spatial rifts.
"The cliff rocks here are so tough, they can actually withstand the baptism of this Spatial Turbulence." Luo Ao walked on this last section of stairs, and every now and then, Spatial Turbulence would crash directly into the corridor and the cliff in front of him.
However, the material of this Azure Sky Chain Cliff is indeed special. Despite being eroded by Spatial Turbulence for countless years, it has never been worn down too much.
"Perhaps, it's not without wear and tear." Luo Ao noticed that the mountain walls would sometimes crack from the impact, but then, under a peculiar natural healing power, they would be restored to their original state.
"This power seems to be a mixture of all seven elements." Luo Ao instinctively sensed that this restorative power of heaven and earth was unusual.
"After that, is there just endless Spatial Turbulence?" Luo Ao then looked up at the sky, where there was a seemingly transparent membrane that blocked the Hell Plane from the Spatial Turbulence.
On one side of the membrane lies the relatively stable Hell Plane, while on the other side lies the chaotic and disordered Spatial Turbulence.
"Hiss~" Near the dimensional barrier, the Spatial Turbulence became even more astonishing, rushing past like a raging river. Even Luo Ao had to use all his Willpower to resist it to avoid being swept away.
Luo Ao approached the membrane and looked at the scene on the other side, where the Spatial Turbulence was truly chaotic and violent.
Just then, he suddenly saw a transparent, milky-white light float out from a spatial rift, and he immediately grabbed it instinctively.
"This is..."
Luo Ao felt the object in his hand; it was soft and gentle, only the size of a thumb, completely transparent, shimmering with a soft light, yet a unique energy flowed within it.
" Ethereal Jade Crystal." Luo Ao was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to collect this item so quickly.
The Ethereal Jade Crystal can only be found in places like the Azure Sky Chain Cliff, and even the Sovereign doesn't know why such a thing would be born there.
However, this spatial jade crystal does indeed have an extremely special effect on cultivation.
All living beings with thoughts and feelings are subject to various distracting thoughts, including the seven emotions and six desires. These distracting thoughts can have various negative effects on even Deity Level powerhouses during their cultivation. For example, some cultivators may find the cultivation process extremely tedious after a while, making it difficult to concentrate and thus hindering their progress.
After absorbing the special energy within this ' Ethereal Jade Crystal ', one can reduce the influence of various desires and achieve focused cultivation.
Of course, this effect is of little use to the Sovereign. The Sovereign has long since exhausted the potential of his soul by consuming endless Power of Faith. However, for those gods with relatively unconventional personalities, this thing does have the potential to elevate their achievements.
There's a saying that goes, "Character determines destiny!" It's the complexity of thought that limits the achievements of many geniuses.
This ' Ethereal Jade Crystal ' can, to some extent, allow one to discard all complex thoughts that hinder one's progress, and enter a state of 'ethereal and natural' mind.
"This thing is truly amazing."
Eliminating distracting thoughts sounds simple. But in the entire Coiling Dragon world, only the magical ' Bulla Clan ' truly possesses this ability, demonstrating that the upper limit of this ability is extremely astonishing.
" Luo Ao, what's it like up there?" Seeing that Luo Ao had finally come down, Echidna was also very curious about this wonder at the end of the world.
"I recorded it as a Floating Shadow; you can take a look." The scene itself was meaningless, but perhaps due to the limitations of the world itself, he felt no emotion after witnessing this spectacle.
"I wonder if I'll be able to access the Space-Time Law in the next world..." Luo Ao couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
He had just spent a long time trying to comprehend the special dimensional barrier, but he didn't gain any special insights.
In Coiling Dragon Heaven and Earth, besides the path taken by the chosen one— Linley, the second possible path to transcendence is mastering the ' Space-Time Law '. If one masters the ' Space-Time Law ', it is also possible to break free from the shackles of the universe.
However, the entire Coiling Dragon World is actually just a Subordinate Universe. Space and time cannot be cultivated; at most, one can only use a little bit of it through Divine Ability.
For cultivators in this world, mastering the ' Space-Time Law ' is practically meaningless, since it is a limitation imposed by the entire universe. No matter how exceptional your talent, you cannot break through this limitation.
However, possessing the ' Myriad Worlds Pearl ' makes this possibility not impossible.
In the myriad realms, there are quite a few worlds that can touch upon the Space-Time Law. If he were to master the ' Space-Time Law ' in another world, he might also have the possibility of transcending in the Coiling Dragon Heaven and Earth.
" Luo Ao, what are you thinking about?" After admiring this wonder of nature, Echidna only felt a little curious, and then looked at Luo Ao was suddenly lost in thought.
"It's nothing, let's go." Luo Ao led the way, with the other three following behind. The four of them flew down the steps of the Azure Sky Chain Cliff again. Once they reached the mountainside, they took out their Metal Lifeform and set off again.
Time flies, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the years, they have visited various dangerous places in the Infernal Realm, some well-known and some little-known.
During this process, Echidna successfully broke through to the Highgod Edicts of Fate, while Lubbock and Yousilia also broke through to the God. Moreover, as expected of natural-born divine beasts, they both had excellent cultivation talents. Lubbock fused three Wind Element Profound Mysteries over hundreds of years, and Yousilia also fused two fire-type Profound Mysteries.
"However, my fusion of the Elemental Laws of Fire is still just a little short." Over the centuries, he had already perfectly fused the ' Fire Body Technique ' and the Profound Mysteries of 'Explosion', but he was still missing that final bit in the overall fusion of the five profound Profound Mysteries in this second step.
At this moment, Luo Ao felt the increasing complexity of the Profound Mysteries fusion process. This was only because the ' Myriad Worlds Pearl ' had been continuously enhancing his 'spirituality' over the years; otherwise, his Fire Divine Clone would probably have been troubled for millions more years without being able to break through this step.
At this moment, they were staying in a place called ' Violetflame Island '. However, Echidna and the other two were observing from a distance in their Metal Lifeform, while only Luo Ao had actually entered the magma layer of Violetflame Island.
"Boom!" In the distance, boundless flames shot into the sky, endless purple flames surging from every mountain range on the island. The towering flames instantly rose into the air, like a fan obscuring the entire sky above the island, and then...
Endless flames then poured down from the sky!
"Crack, crack..." Countless rocks were deformed or even cracked by the intense heat of the flames.
Even from a great distance, Echidna and her companions could see large swaths of purple mist rising sporadically from the various mountain ranges, permeating the entire island. The strong smell of sulfur could be detected from afar, confirming that this was indeed a terrifying and dangerous place.
The power of those fiery volcanoes erupting simultaneously on Purple Hair Island would probably leave even a Seven-Star Fiend severely injured, but for Luo Ao, it was still within his tolerance.
He placed himself amidst the lava in order to experience the unique flames of Violetflame Island up close, hoping to find a glimmer of inspiration for a breakthrough, but he never succeeded.
"After hundreds of years, the energy continuously released by this Myriad Worlds Pearl seems to be reaching its limit. I wonder what new changes will occur then?" Luo Ao had a premonition that new and incredible changes would definitely occur in his soul at that time.
Strange flames burned continuously on Violetflame Island, and after erupting, the scorching volcanoes fell silent again, entering a 'dormant period'. Only after accumulating enough kinetic energy would they erupt again with a roar.
Time marches on, and the fiery volcanoes on Violetflame Island are about to erupt for the second time.
However, at this very moment--
"Huh? What is this?!" The moment his soul underwent this unusual change, Luo Ao immediately sensed it.
Within his Soul Space, a vast Soul Ocean surged gently, and a sword-shaped soul radiating tri-colored light hovered above it.
At this moment, a golden thread suddenly appeared in his soul, faintly flowing at the edge of the Soul Ocean, and a strange golden halo also emanated from the sword-shaped soul with its three-colored light.
"This feeling?" In that instant, Luo Ao suddenly felt a special change appear in his soul. Not only the souls of the Fire God and his main body clone, but also the soul of the Destruction Divine Clone experienced the same change.
"My Destruction Divine Clone soul is now far too powerful!"
A flicker of wild joy flashed in Luo Ao's eyes!
The strength of the souls of his several clones was greatly enhanced, especially the Destruction Divine Clone, which instantly felt empty, as if it urgently needed a large amount of soul power to fill it.
This feeling was familiar to Luo Ao; it was exactly the situation when his 'water and fire Two-element Soul Mutation '!
This unique change also represents a fundamental transformation of the soul!
In Coiling Dragon Heaven and Earth, there is no such thing as a 'soul cultivation method'. Apart from the fact that the soul of Sovereign is stronger than that of an ordinary Highgod, even the soul strength limit of Asura powerhouse or even Paragon expert is at the same level.
Only Soul Mutation like Liermons can break this limitation!
Moreover, breaking this limitation not only brings about an increase in 'soul strength', but also an increase in 'the upper limit of soul potential'!
Before this soul mutation, he could feel that even the Myriad Worlds Pearl's 'soul transformation' had reached its limit, and it seemed that there was no way to improve his 'spirituality' anymore. However, after this ' Three-element Soul Mutation,' his soul was fundamentally enhanced again, becoming able to absorb the special energy of the ' Myriad Worlds Pearl ' once more.
This situation is as if his original soul was just a 'cup'. Once the cup was completely filled with water, even the ' Myriad Worlds Pearl ' could not pour in even a single drop of new water. However, after this Three-element Soul Mutation, his soul transformed into a large 'kettle', expanding its capacity to hold a large amount of 'water' once again.
"So that's how it is. This is the essence of Soul Mutation." Having personally experienced this ' Three-element Soul Mutation ' process, Luo Ao truly realized the special nature of Soul Mutation.
Everyone knows that there are many benefits to Soul Mutation, but most people only see the characteristics such Fused Divine Power, increasing soul strength, and being able to fuse with the Profound Mysteries other species.
But the most crucial point is actually the enhancement of this 'soul potential'!
Why are those who Paragon able to achieve Paragon?
Besides their diligent personal cultivation and a series of fortuitous events, the most important factor is actually their 'soul potential'.
After all, every god enjoys an infinite lifespan. However, many powerful beings reach their limit after fusing three or even four profound Profound Mysteries, and cannot break through further. Even most of the Sovereign can only fuse five profound Profound Mysteries, and what limits them is their 'soul potential'.
Even the Sovereign, who possess boundless Power of Faith, cannot cultivate to the Paragon realm if their 'soul potential' is insufficient.
"From this perspective, those who reached the Paragon Deity Level on their own are truly a miracle." Even Luo Ao sincerely admired these Paragon experts.
It should be noted that the soul of the Sovereign is hundreds of times stronger than that of the Highgod. The leap that the soul of the lineage that achieves the status of the Sovereign is even greater than the ' Three-element Soul Mutation '. However, even so, they cannot reach the Paragon.
"Now that my three elements have mutated, the soul strength of this Fire Divine Clone will soon approach that of the Sovereign's soul, and with the added effect of the Power of Faith..." Luo Ao understood that although his Fire Divine Clone was only a Highgod, its cultivation conditions were almost no different from those of the Sovereign Divine Clone.
After all, given the strength of the Three-element Soul Mutation, the Power of Faith that can be mobilized at once is already close to the Power of Faith that the Sovereign Divine Clone can mobilize.
"Moreover, the golden thread within my soul seems to have another use." A glint flashed in Luo Ao's eyes, but he suppressed his thoughts and looked towards the second eruption of the volcanic cluster on Violetflame Island...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
On the surface of the volcanic cluster on Violetflame Island, endless strange purple flames suddenly erupted once again, and this time, Luo Ao seemed to have a sudden realization and closed his eyes.
