"No, that's not right. Without the Willpower, I couldn't refine the Sovereign’s Might. The reason I was able to extract this point of light is because of its existence!"
Looking at the Soul Stone, Andrew began to recall. The original book said that the Soul Stone was formed from the Soul Essence nurtured by the Sovereign Zijing, and was extremely precious. Leisjing also said that the Sovereign Zijing, as Sovereign, only nurtured two Soul Stone.
On the Amethyst Mountains, every Amethyst contains soul power, and the Sovereign Zijing is a super divine Divine Beast nurtured by the Amethyst Mountains. It can be said that her soul talent ranks among the Higher Plane plane.
This shows how precious the Soul Stone, which embodies the Soul Essence of the Sovereign Zijing, is!
" Linley obtained the Soul Stone primarily for two purposes: first, to create the ultimate technique ' Blackstone Prison,' and second, to use its power to overcome his Soul Stone Soul Mutation. I haven't cultivated Laws of Earth, so I can't use the first method. However, my soul power is far stronger than Linley's, so I can absorb the soul power within the Soul Stone to enhance myself."
After becoming Highgod, Andrew's soul underwent another qualitative change under the transformation of the Laws of the World. Later, nourished by the Soul Stone, his soul power grew extremely rapidly, almost by leaps and bounds. In such a short time, the Golden Dragon soul had already grown to five hundred meters!
Beneath the Golden Dragon of souls, an endless Elemental Sea surged. Andrew had previously attempted to penetrate the Elemental Sea with his soul power, and he discovered that his limit reached a thousand meters! The Divine Power at a depth of a thousand meters was extremely pure, almost condensing into Divine Crystal —this was practically the limit for Highgod!
Soul Stone played a crucial role in enabling this.
And today, the Soul Stone gave him another surprise.
"My soul was struck by an attack earlier, which was probably blocked by the Soul Stone. Now, I've extracted another point of light, which is also likely due to the Soul Stone."
With that thought in mind, Andrew placed the light spot next to the Soul Stone. Without any obstruction, the light spot merged into the Soul Stone and disappeared.
"Could it be that the Soul Stone absorbed the light?" Andrew had no way of observing the inside of the Soul Stone. The Soul Stone's soul power was too strong; with Andrew's soul power, he simply couldn't get inside.
"I'll try again..."
As the experiment progressed to this point, Andrew's interest grew even more. He controlled the Soul Stone with his soul power and projected its Soul Stone into the Azurnite Slab. Soon, all the light spots in the Azurnite Slab were absorbed by the Soul Stone, leaving none behind.
The Soul Stone absorbed all 100,000 points of light in just a few breaths!
Shocked, Andrew put the Soul Stone back into the Elemental Sea, then opened his eyes and looked at the Azurnite Tablet in his hand.
"It actually turned into an ordinary stone..."
In Andrew's hands, the azure stone slab transformed into the black stone found everywhere in the Infernal Realm, and the aura of destruction emanating from it vanished completely.
He realized that the Soul Stone had indeed absorbed the Sovereign’s Might from the Azurnite Slab.
Andrew calmly took out a few more Azurnite slabs and began a new round of experiments. Another Azurnite slab turned into ordinary black stone, which Andrew threw away.
"I want to see just how much you can absorb, and what changes will ultimately occur..."
Seeing this, Andrew took out all his possessions and let the Soul Stone absorb them. Apart from leaving behind a billion Inkstone, the trillions of Inkstone on Andrew's body were consumed by the Soul Stone. After absorbing these, some changes occurred on the surface of the Soul Stone.
In the Elemental Sea, the Golden Dragon's soul gazed at the Soul Stone. On the Soul Stone's dark surface, a shallow ripple of water was revealed, and judging from its aura, it was none other than the Sovereign’s Might!
" Soul Stone can indeed refine the Sovereign’s Might! Does this mean that as long as one's soul power reaches a certain level, even without the Willpower, one can still control the Sovereign’s Might?"
This conjecture surprised Andrew even more than the appearance of the Sovereign’s Might.
"Yes, that must be it! Power—with enough power, even heaven and earth can Shattering, let alone the Willpower!"
Then, he thought of some powerful people.
"Take Hemus, for example. His body is comparable to Sovereign Artifact, and he was nurtured by the Divine Earth Plane for countless years. Even without the Willpower, his physical attacks are no less than those of Paragon! That's in terms of the physical body. I think the same applies to the soul."
Andrew couldn't even fathom the sheer power of the Soul Stone. However, the fact that it could support Linley in completing his Four-Element Soul Mutation showed that this Soul Stone was undoubtedly a supreme soul treasure.
"My soul power is currently inferior to that of Soul Stone, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be in the future. If in the future my physical body reaches the strength of Sovereign Artifact, and my soul surpasses the limits of a god, Willpower of Paragon will still be of use to me?"
Andrew's eyes gleamed with a terrifying light. At that moment, he seemed to have discovered a new path, a bright road that no one had ever traveled before, yet which held immense promise!
Since having this conjecture, Andrew began to absorb the power of the Soul Stone with all his might. At the same time, his main body and the three Divine Clone worked together to deduce the convergence point between the Water Law and the lightning and fire elements.
In the boundless Infernal Realm, Andrew's Metallic Lifeform flew steadily.
That day, Herbert walked out of the room.
" Herbert, how's your integration of the Laws going?" Andrew was still leaning against the window, holding a book in his hands. At his level, the effect of secluded cultivation was no longer significant; sometimes, a sudden enlightenment could save a thousand years of hard work.
Herbert chuckled and sat down, saying, "My Fire Element and light elements have already comprehended two Laws and found the point of convergence. I estimate that in about a hundred years, these two elements will be able to Fusion Law and become Midgod. My Lightning Element is a little behind, but it has also comprehended the second Laws; it will still take time to reach its full potential..."
Andrew nodded in satisfaction. Herbert had not only inherited his and Han Yue's elemental talents, but also his comprehension. To be able to do this at the Lowgod stage was already quite impressive.
"Yes, by comprehending and Fusion Law Laws simultaneously, once you become Highgod, you can instantly ascend to the ranks of the powerful and go further than others. Have you refined all those Soul Gold Bead?"
Herbert was somewhat frustrated. "I refined a small portion, but no matter how much I refined it after that, it had no effect."
Andrew understood; Herbert's soul had reached its current limit.
It was a rare opportunity for father and son to spend time together, and Andrew gave Herbert some pointers. Herbert Andrew attentively; he had always greatly admired his father. However, both of them were reserved by nature and rarely exchanged affectionate words, focusing instead on cultivation.
The Metallic Lifeform flew swiftly southward.
"We've arrived in Yilan City," the Emperor Wing Fiend suddenly announced that day.
" Yilan City?" Andrew's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked out the window. Ahead, the outline of a huge city appeared in his sight.
Andrew's eyes suddenly lit up. Yilan City —there was a remarkable expert nearby!
"What's wrong, Andrew?" The Emperor Wing Fiend looked at him and asked, puzzled.
Andrew thought for a moment and said, " Stuart, is there a place called the Bies Volcano Range near Yilan City?"
The Emperor Wing Fiend nodded. "Indeed, the Bies Volcano Range is very famous in the Zijing Continent. It is a dangerous place; even Highgod could perish if he were to enter."
Andrew closed his book and said, " Stuart, let Bernistan and the others go into the city first. You and I will go to the Bies Volcano Range."
"That's no problem, but Andrew, what are you going there for?" the Emperor Wing Fiend asked, puzzled.
"Of course there's something going on; you'll find out when you get there." Andrew feigned mystery, Emperor Wing Fiend with no choice but to smile helplessly.
As they approached Yilan City, Andrew instructed Bernistan and several of the Emperor Wing Fiend's men to protect his family as they entered the city. The two then departed, heading east. After flying nearly a hundred million miles, they arrived at a dark red volcanic cluster.
The Bies Volcano Range covers an area of thousands of miles and contains countless volcanoes.
"No wonder it's a famous volcanic field in the Infernal Realm!" As soon as Andrew got close, he felt a wave of heat. Looking ahead, he saw countless craters erupting intermittently, with white steam and yellow smoke billowing everywhere.
" Andrew, did you come here to cultivate?" The Emperor Wing Fiend disliked the environment and released his Divine Power to protect the surroundings. "If I were cultivating, why did you call me here? I haven't cultivated Fire Element Law, so coming here is useless to me."
Andrew ignored his complaints and used his divine sense to search through the volcanoes.
In the Infernal Realm, the divine sense of an ordinary Highgod can only extend about a thousand meters, while that of a typical Seven-Star Fiend can extend a thousand miles. Someone like Andrew, whose soul power has almost reached the limit of Highgod, can extend his divine sense even further, a full fifty thousand miles!
With his divine sense, searching for a cluster of volcanoes within a thousand miles is quite easy.
"Found them!" Andrew discovered two auras beneath a massive volcano.
" Stuart, come with me! I'm not here to cultivate this time..." Andrew flew above the volcano, his Divine Power coalescing into a colossal elemental Dragon. The Dragon roared twice, then plunged into the volcano, and then...
"Boom!"
