Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III to Trap Tang San
He was increasingly realizing that he couldn't stop the solidified Soul Power from continuing to spin. His Spiritual Power could only maintain its stability, but it was impossible to stop it. If he did, there would only be one outcome: an explosion!
Gong Yu continued to output Soul Power, and his Spiritual Power did not weaken in the slightest. The golden Spiritual Power surrounding the solid Soul Power was constantly increasing, and it had even gradually changed from the initial gold to platinum gold, just like a solid layer, perfectly maintaining the stability of the solid Soul Power.
Suddenly, a powerful surge of Spiritual Power swept outwards.
Some of the people watching the game in the stadium all looked up and gazed in the direction of the camp.
Of course, only a few people could sense the fluctuations in Spiritual Power: Bone Douluo, Salas, a group of girls from the Academy of the Gods, and Bi Ji, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress.
"That's the direction of our camp. It looks like Brother Yu is doing something," Na'er broke the silence first. "I'll leave this place to you guys. I'll go protect Brother Yu."
After uttering those words, Na'er vanished in a flash, startling everyone around her, as very few people knew Na'er true strength.
When she reappeared, Na'er had already arrived at the entrance of Gong Yu's barracks. However, she did not rush in. Instead, she used her Spiritual Power to observe the inside. Seeing that Gong Yu was in good condition, she stood guard outside like a gatekeeper.
The terrifying fluctuations in Soul Power continued to rise, and Gong Yu began to struggle.
However, he could still hold on in terms of Spiritual Power. But when the amount of Soul Power in his body began to be less than the total amount of solid Soul Power, the absorption rate of solid Soul Power on his own Soul Power began to accelerate continuously.
Gong Yu felt his Soul Power being released outwards like a flood, and the rotation speed of the solidified Soul Power had reached a level that was no longer visible to the naked eye.
Five percent, six percent, seven percent—after more than seventy percent of his Soul Power was absorbed by the solidified Soul Power, Gong Yu could no longer control the leakage of his Soul Power.
What he couldn't see was that the entire barracks was now radiating a faint golden light.
Above the camp, the energy of heaven and earth had formed a faint energy cloud, and the vast energy of heaven and earth was constantly converging towards the direction of Gong Yu's barracks.
"This is... someone is advancing to the Titled Douluo?" The Bone Douluo sitting next to Ning Fengzhi looked in the direction from which the previous Spiritual Power fluctuations came and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Uncle Bone, you're not mistaken, are you?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up after hearing Bone Douluo's voice, and he seemed to have a plan in mind.
The others nearby also gave them strange looks.
"I can't be mistaken. That kind of fluctuation is what's produced when you condense your Soul Core during the promotion to Titled Douluo," Bone Douluo said with certainty.
"Uncle Bone." Ning Fengzhi glanced at Bone Douluo, then shook his head, signaling him not to continue.
Bone Douluo nodded, understanding what Ning Fengzhi meant. Such a secret as the Soul Core should not be revealed in this setting.
Ning Fengzhi then stood up and said to Xue Ye, "Your Majesty, please excuse me for a moment."
Xue Ye nodded, understanding that Ning Fengzhi was going to win people over, so he did not stop him. Instead, he said to the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe beside him, "Crown Prince, you accompany Sect Master Ning."
Xue Ye naturally wanted to win over the "Titled Douluo" that Bone Douluo had mentioned earlier, which is why he arranged for the Crown Prince and Ning Fengzhi to go.
Ning Fengzhi understood Xue Ye's meaning perfectly, but he didn't say anything. No one could stop anyone from trying to win someone over, but whether or not they succeeded depended on their own abilities.
"Yes." Crown Prince Xue Qinghe responded, and then left the VIP seats with Ning Fengzhi.
Chapter 222 Zi JI's Assistance
Led by Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi and "Xue Qinghe" hurriedly headed towards the barracks where Gong Yu was located.
But when they got there, they found that Na'er was guarding them outside.
Ning Fengzhi recognized Na'er as someone from Gong Yu's side at a glance. Although he didn't know who was breaking through inside, he knew that Ning Fengzhi Gong Yu n't like him at all, so he knew that even if he tried to win her over, it would probably be fruitless. Therefore, Ning Fengzhi turned around and left with Bone Douluo in a huff.
However, Xue Qinghe stayed behind. Sensing the familiar aura emanating from inside, he immediately thought of Gong Yu, so he waited outside the barracks, acting as Gong Yu's protector.
Of course, the rich energy of heaven and earth gathering in the air was also beneficial to Xue Qinghe, so he sat down cross-legged outside the barracks to cultivate.
Inside the barracks, Gong Yu's own Soul Power had been devoured by eighty percent. He now had to allocate a portion of his Spiritual Power to control his body and slow down the rate at which his Soul Power was being lost.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and his face began to turn pale, but even in this state, he was still able to steadily control his solidified Soul Power, preventing it from deviating in the slightest.
Just then, a strange scene unfolded.
The originally milky-white solid Soul Power gradually changed color, turning from milky white to light gold, and the gold color continued to deepen.
Gong Yu was already struggling to control the situation, but she was still able to grit her teeth and persevere.
While continuing to output Soul Power, he tried his best to use his Spiritual Power to control the remaining Soul Power in his body in order to slow down the rate at which it was absorbed.
Because that solidified Soul Power was not only absorbing his Soul Power, but also absorbing the energy of heaven and earth in the air.
Because his own Soul Power was being absorbed more slowly, his solid Soul Power naturally absorbed more energy from the air.
As the creator of solidified Soul Power, Gong Yu had a very deep understanding of it. He clearly discovered that the attribute-based nature of solidified Soul Power Soul Power was manifested at the spiritual level.
In other words, his solidified Soul Power contains the Spiritual Power he has already reached the Spirit Domain Realm.
When he condensed his first Soul Core last time, his Soul Power Soul Power was already no weaker than that of Titled Douluo, which was the main reason why he was able to successfully condense his First Soul Core last time.
This time, when condensing the Second Soul Core, the remaining total Soul Power was definitely not enough. Although after Zi JI transformed into his Soul Spirit, his Soul Power was raised to nearly level 80, it was ultimately just superficial Soul Power.
Fortunately, his Spiritual Power was sufficient. Under Gong Yu's control, the output of Spiritual Power in his Sea of Consciousness increased again, controlling the small funnel to rotate faster, and the solid Soul Power had gradually changed from light gold to gold.
In addition to the massive fluctuations in Soul Power, there were also quite strong mental fluctuations. The Spiritual Power used to stabilize the Soul Power fluctuations was actually stuck to the solidified Soul Power and began to be continuously devoured and absorbed by it.
The golden light grew increasingly intense, and Gong Yu's Spiritual Power had completely permeated the solidified Soul Power.
Gong Yu's Soul Power was almost gone. He gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on, but the emptiness in his body could not be completely resolved by simply forcing himself to endure.
His Soul Power was decreasing little by little, and his body began to sway slightly. Without a certain amount of Soul Power to support his body, it would directly affect the output of his own Spiritual Power.
As time passed, Gong Yu's body swayed more and more violently. He was now almost entirely relying on his willpower to support his body, as the enormous suction force caused his body to sway forward continuously.
Just when he was about to give up, suddenly, a golden light shone behind Gong Yu.
Immediately afterwards, a milky white light seemed to emerge from behind him, forming a circular barrier in front of him, forcefully blocking the suction force of the solidified Soul Power.
The milky-white light that emerged from behind Gong Yu gradually took shape, transforming into a giant purplish-black dragon.
The dragon gradually transformed into a woman, her entire body covered in purplish-black scales. She had a slender figure, a full chest, and straight, long legs. Above her chest, her shoulders revealed snow-white skin and a deep cleavage.
Her long, purplish-black hair cascaded down her back, moving naturally from both sides of her body without any wind.
Her face was extremely alluring; her eyes were deep purple, while her lips were bright purple.
On her forehead, a jet-black scale rippled with layers of purple light, flowing naturally from above her head.
Who else could she be but Zi JI!
The rings of light surrounding Zi JI appeared and disappeared.
As soon as she came out, she pointed to her own brow and then to the top of Gong Yu's head. Instantly, a powerful surge of Soul Power flowed into Gong Yu's body, stabilizing his swaying body.
"Little one, you continue, I'll take care of everything." Zi JI's voice rang in Gong Yu's ears, which immediately put Gong Yu at ease.
With Zi JI's help, Gong Yu's Soul Power has recovered somewhat.
The Soul Power that Zi JI injected into his body was itself imbued with a strong Spiritual Power. After it was output, the color of the solid Soul Power changed even faster. The gold had turned into a bright gold, and tiny spatial cracks appeared around the rotating solid Soul Power.
The light emanating from Zi JI's body began to intensify, and streams of milky-white light separated from her body and continuously flowed into Gong Yu's body.
Gong Yu didn't know was that Zi JI was injecting into his body at this moment was the original power she had cultivated for more than 200,000 years.
This primal power allowed Gong Yu to recover to her optimal state in an instant. However, such a sacrifice was also very taxing on Zi JI. It's estimated that she will have to sleep for a while after this.
At this moment, around the funnel-shaped solid Soul Power, cracks began to turn golden. Within that gold, the black of spatial rifts was faintly visible.
The solidified Soul Power was still absorbing his Soul Power and Spiritual Power. With Zi JI replenishing these two energies, he could still hold on. However, the solidified Soul Power was no longer absorbing just these two energies; it had even begun to absorb the spatial power contained in the surrounding spatial rifts.
Gong Yu's eyes widened as she tried to control her power while carefully observing the situation.
That solidified Soul Power was clearly devouring the spatial power within the spatial rift. Strangely, as the spatial power was being devoured, the rift actually grew larger and larger, with even more spatial power filling it.
Gong Yu's Spiritual Power consumption also began to increase dramatically. The violent spatial power was tearing at his Spiritual Power. If his Spiritual Power had not already reached the Middle Stage of the Spirit Domain Realm, he probably would not have been able to hold on.
Time passed second by second, and the Zi JI behind Gong Yu, which was originally as solid as a physical entity, began to become more and more illusory. Her primordial power was merging into the solidified Soul Power through Gong Yu's body.
Gong Yu gritted his teeth and continuously increased the output of his Spiritual Power. He had no way to deal with the Soul Power aspect, so he could only start from the mental level. The vast Spiritual Power in his Sea of Consciousness was inexhaustible.
At this moment, he had to go all out. If he failed to compress the Soul Core this time, he would inevitably suffer a backlash, and his foundation might even be damaged. Moreover, the price he had to pay this time was too high. Most importantly, he did not want Zi JI's efforts to be in vain, so he could only succeed and could not afford to fail.
Chapter 223 The Second Soul Core is Formed
One spatial rift after another gradually expanded, and the distortion and fluctuation of space, along with an indescribable strange feeling, were all deeply imprinted in Gong Yu's mind.
At this moment, around his compressed, solidified Soul Power, spatial fluctuations appeared continuously and subtly, closely related to his own Soul Power and Spiritual Power. This allowed him, who already possessed spatial power, to reach an even higher level in his understanding of space.
As time went by, the spatial cracks on the surface of the solidified Soul Power eventually became as fine as a net.
Black cracks appeared continuously, being devoured and absorbed by the solidified Soul Power.
The solidified Soul Power was rotating at near its limit, and all the surrounding space began to distort.
Gong Yu could see at that moment was a strange ball of light, a fusion of gold, platinum, and black, containing an extremely vast and terrifying amount of Soul Power.
"Stay calm, this is the moment of truth."
Gong Yu gave a soft shout in his heart, transforming his last bit of Spiritual Power into a soul impact and injecting it completely into the solidified Soul Power.
At the same time, Zi JI behind him had also released all her primal power, transforming it into a stream of light that merged back into his body and disappeared.
The solidified Soul Power trembled slightly. In that instant, Gong Yu had a strange feeling: the solidified Soul Power, which had been spinning rapidly, had actually stopped.
The abrupt shift from extreme motion to extreme stillness caused him considerable pain.
However, in the next instant, Gong Yu felt that everything around him became blurry. He seemed to be in the starry sky, surrounded by that strange and gentle spatial power.
In an instant, all space collapsed around his body, and the terrifying spatial power tore his body to pieces in the blink of an eye.
But in the next instant, his body reassembled and he regained consciousness. Gong Yu was shocked to see that the solidified Soul Power not far in front of him had completely collapsed and become a black hole vortex.
Just one glance was enough for Gong Yu to feel as if her soul was being sucked in.
The black hole vortex was filled with endless darkness and an infinite sense of the unknown, but Gong Yu could not sense what kind of Soul Power was stored inside.
But he could clearly sense an unusual connection between himself and the black hole vortex.
Around the black hole, fine golden ripples rippled continuously. To Gong Yu's surprise, these golden ripples gradually condensed and formed strange crystals.
"Hehe... This is my Second Soul Core, a fusion of Soul Power and Spiritual Power, but Spiritual Power."
When Gong Yu was compressing the Soul Core, his Spiritual Power output was significantly greater than his Soul Power output. Therefore, when the Soul Core was fully formed, his Spiritual Power became dominant.
At this moment, the Soul Core had already formed and no longer absorbed Gong Yu's Soul Power; it only continuously absorbed the elemental energy of heaven and earth in the air.
Next, the task was to try to absorb the Soul Core into the body. Since there was already a Soul Core in the lower dantian and the middle dantian was occupied by the Golden Dragon King's Dragon Core, only the upper dantian had a spare space for the time being.
However, this Soul Core is primarily based on Spiritual Power and is a Spiritual Soul Core. Therefore, placing it in the upper dantian is the correct location, because the upper dantian is also known as the Sea of Consciousness, and it is most suitable to use the Sea of Consciousness to nourish the Spiritual Soul Core.
Gong Yu did not rush to absorb the Soul Core. Instead, he sat cross-legged in front of it and silently activated his internal cultivation technique, recovering while observing the changes in the Soul Core.
Time passed second by second, and Gong Yu's Soul Power and Spiritual Power were recovering at an astonishing speed. Half an hour later, he opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and full of energy.
Gong Yu then turned his gaze back to the Soul Core.
As before, the Soul Core seemed to contain endless terrifying energy, capable of devouring everything. When Gong Yu looked at it, he immediately felt a powerful suction force trying to pull his soul out.
Shaking his head to bring himself back to his senses, Gong Yu then placed the Soul Core between his eyebrows.
With the lower dantian already occupied by the First Soul Core and the middle dantian occupied by the Dragon Core, the upper dantian became the only and most suitable option.
As for the middle dantian, if you still want to use it, you can only wait until you advance to level 100 in the future, after you have purified and absorbed all the energy in the Dragon Core and the Dragon Core has completely disappeared, before you can free up the space.
The moment Gong Yu placed the Soul Core between his eyebrows, a golden light flashed, and the Soul Core instantly merged with it, causing his body to shudder violently.
In an instant, two beams of platinum-gold light shot out from his eyes, like two sword beams.
Both beams of light were caused by what he felt was an indescribable, terrifying power being injected into his Sea of Consciousness.
This force was like a sharp cone, as if it wanted to tear his head apart, or drain his Sea of Consciousness, or even embed another eye into his skull. The pain made him clearly feel the shattering sensation once again.
Fortunately, he possessed a pain tolerance that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, so even when the pain was unbearable, he gritted his teeth and persevered. Moreover, enduring pain also brought him benefits, namely, his Spiritual Power would be greatly enhanced after being tormented by pain.
At this moment, as the intense pain struck, Gong Yu's body trembled violently, yet he remained seated firmly.
He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his hands clenched into fists, and under the influence of his subconscious, he still pushed the "Quanzhen Great Dao Song" to its fullest extent.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, his immense Spiritual Power continued to swirl under his control, resisting the intense pain.
Within minutes, Gong Yu was drenched in sweat.
Moreover, a vertical eye suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, where the Soul Core had previously been attached. Golden light flashed within that eye, dazzling like a small sun.
As the light in the vertical eye slowly dissipated, a terrifying suction force suddenly appeared, and the energy of heaven and earth in the air immediately converged on Gong Yu at an astonishing speed.
Those vertical eyes, like black hole vortexes, terrifyingly devoured all the energy in the air.
As time passed, Gong Yu's body gradually stabilized. He slowly closed his eyes, but the vertical eye between his brows became even brighter.
In that vertical eye, there is an endless starry sky, a deep vortex, and countless colorful things, as if it contains everything.
