Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start

Chapter 137 Nascent Soul and the Abyss Dimension

By channeling the power of his mind into his body and fusing it with his essence, energy, and spirit to form pure Yang power, Li Fei began his sprint toward level ninety-nine. The power required for level ninety-nine was several times greater than the combined power of the previous ninety-eight levels. Even with the power Li Fei had drawn from other dimensions, it would still take a considerable amount of time.

More than a month passed quickly, and Li Fei was stuck on the last step of breaking through to the level 99 Limit Douluo, just a little bit away from breaking through.

"call!"

With a single breath, the energy drawn from other dimensions around Li Fei was transformed into flowing water and absorbed into his body. With a surge of power, Li Fei finally broke through to the level 99 Limit Douluo. Reaching this level meant he had reached the limit of this world.

By completely immersing his mind in his body, he felt the three major soul cores—upper, middle, and lower—pulsating at a special frequency, with the frequencies of the three soul cores being completely synchronized.

"The Yin-Yang complementary soul core allows the body's power to simultaneously possess the attributes of the soul cores through mutual collision. My soul cores represent essence, energy, and spirit. Although the Yin-Yang complementary method has led to a partial fusion of essence, energy, and spirit, they are actually still separate."

In my previous life, Taoism advocated the cultivation of both body and mind, a state of unity of essence, energy, and spirit—something that doesn't fit my situation at all!

Li Fei had considered fusing the three soul cores into one as early as when the crimson-gold pure yang power appeared. He had been trying to do so and finally came up with a method: to use the pulse of fetal breathing to bring the three soul cores into a state of complete balance and to keep the soul cores resonating.

This is also why Li Fei has never thought about breaking through; it's not only for the balance between the soul cores, but also to open up more acupoints so that his body can evolve and no longer become a hindrance when the power explodes during the fusion of soul cores.

He has now maintained the state of primordial energy for a long time, and the three soul cores and his body have completely met the fusion requirements that Li Fei had envisioned.

"Next, all we need to do is use our mental power to materialize and completely fuse the three soul cores."

With a thought, the spiritual core and the soul power core, which were originally located in the sea of ​​spirit and middle dantian, moved towards the lower dantian. As the spiritual core and soul power core entered the lower dantian, the three soul cores began to collide fiercely, and extremely powerful forces erupted in Li Fei's dantian, even causing dozens of cracks to appear in the dantian barrier.

Soul power, spiritual power, and blood energy continuously leaked out of his body through these cracks. Fortunately, Li Fei was inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where there were many immortal herbs. After they sensed Li Fei's power leaking out, they began to absorb it frantically.

Otherwise, the sheer amount of energy released could very well destroy the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"What on earth is that brat practicing?!"

Dugu Bo, who was also in seclusion, noticed the strangeness of the immortal herb. He was overjoyed and came outside. Looking at the terrifying crimson-gold light emanating from it, he said with a look of horror, "Just the light emanating from it could easily kill me."

At this moment, Li Fei's condition was extremely bad. His dantian was completely tattered, and the three soul cores continued to collide and erupt with powerful energy as they approached each other. His meridians were also shattered by this energy.

Fortunately, Li Fei's body had become incredibly powerful due to his continuous opening of acupoints, so this kind of injury was no longer fatal and would not even damage his cultivation.

"I miscalculated!"

Li Fei's heart began to grow heavy. The three soul cores, formed by the mutual complement of Yin and Yang, had no connection with each other at all, and were even in a state of opposition. They could not be fused at all. He had just tried many of the methods he had planned in advance, and even forcibly used his mental power to make the three soul cores collide, but in the end, he failed.

"In that case, there's only one method left!"

The so-called last resort is to shatter the three soul cores and use powerful mental strength to recombine the energy particles after the shattering of the three soul cores, condensing them into a new soul core that combines essence, energy, and spirit. However, even he is not very confident about this method.

However, given Li Fei's current mindset, he would try anything, no matter how small the possibility.

boom!

Without hesitation, he transformed his mental power into three sharp needles, piercing the three soul cores directly. Like a nuclear explosion, boundless power erupted from Li Fei's dantian, destroying his dantian and meridians. His entire body was covered in cracks, as if it would explode into pieces at any moment and die.

His soul also trembled when the spiritual core exploded, but even so, not a single bit of power leaked out of Li Fei's body. It was all sealed inside his body by the powerful mental force. The particles of the three energies had already filled Li Fei's entire body.

This is the benefit of microscopic level control. If it weren't for the explosion of the spiritual core causing the soul to vibrate, the dantian would not have been damaged at all.

The shock to his soul was unpleasant, but Li Fei still had to endure the dizziness and use his mental power to unleash his soul skills.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Self-Healing!"

With his mind interfering with the material energy, streams of life force appeared and were drawn to Li Fei's dantian, prioritizing the repair of the dantian and meridians. The dantian and meridians were quickly repaired, and Li Fei began to guide all three types of energy particles in his body to gather them in his dantian. Then, using the fetal movement sensation that Li Fei remembered from his fetal breathing, he continuously condensed them.

As the fetus moved, spiritual power, soul power, and blood and qi continuously gathered in the dantian, with mental power as the main component, eventually forming an infant version of Li Fei, curled up and constantly inhaling and exhaling power from various dimensions with each breath.

The moment the nascent soul was formed, Li Fei relaxed his mind, and an indescribable weariness welled up in his heart.

"Looks like I'll be taking a nap for a while!"

Li Fei gave a bitter laugh to himself, then felt everything go black as he fell from the sky.

Seeing this, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom stretched out their branches and leaves to weave a net in the air, catching Li Fei and placing it above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The temperature became slightly cooler, making it easier for Li Fei to fall asleep.

……

With the addition of the Blacksmiths' Association and the foundation of soul tools left by Li Fei, quite a few soul-guided vehicles have already appeared. For this reason, Qian Renxue has started road construction throughout the empire.

Meanwhile, the new Spirit Hall and the Silla Empire were not as calm as they appeared. Emperor Xingluo looked at the intelligence in his hand, his brows furrowed with worry. Although the Xingluo Empire had the largest territory and the most troops, he knew that it was the weakest of the three forces. This was because they lacked high-end combat power. The Xingluo Empire only had two or three Title Douluos, and they were just ordinary level 91 or 92.

In less than a year, the events that had occurred on this continent had become unfamiliar to him. First, Li Fei easily defeated the Silves Palace in a battle against Bibi Dong, and then not long after, news spread that Bibi Dong had become a god. After that, she fought a great battle with Li Fei at sea. Although the outcome was unknown, judging from the reactions of the Heaven Dou and the new Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong must have lost.

He instantly felt that this world was utterly absurd. The invincible god from the continent's mythology had appeared, but was defeated in the blink of an eye by someone who wasn't even a god.

"According to the records of our ancestor Dai Xingluo, our Star Luo Empire royal family also possesses a divine lineage—the White Tiger God. It is said that long ago, he was considered a powerful god in the God Realm. However, the Star Luo royal family, which has been in existence for nearly ten thousand years, has very few even titled Douluo, let alone a divine lineage!!"

Thinking of the winged white tiger statue in the Star Luo Treasury, the Star Luo Emperor sighed.

"Pass down the order: all members of the royal family possessing the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul must return to Star Luo City within three months. Those who disobey will be stripped of their Star Luo royal status and will be hunted down by the Star Luo Empire!"

Bringing all the royal family members back was the last glimmer of hope in the Star Luo Emperor's heart. He desperately wanted a member of his family to inherit the legacy of the White Tiger God, so that the Star Luo Empire would no longer be in such a passive position.

Inside a manor in the royal city of Silves, Bibi Dong was radiating a dark purple light, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to heal her injuries.

"puff!"

She spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood, and Bibi Dong opened her eyes with a very pale face.

"The spiritual energy of the continent is lacking in both quality and quantity. After absorbing it for so many days, my injuries have only healed slightly. This won't do. Once Qian Renxue becomes a god, I will be no match for her!" Feeling the damage to her body, Bibi Dong's expression was extremely solemn. Recalling the information in her inheritance, she thought, "It seems I must use the secret technique recorded in the Rakshasa God to open a passage to the Abyss Plane!"

As for the information that the Abyss Plane would devour the spiritual energy of the continent to strengthen itself, Bibi Dong didn't take it seriously at all. In her current view, apart from the Abyss Saint King who ruled the Abyss Plane, she didn't care about anything else; they would only become her nourishment.

In terms of devouring ability, Rakshasa God is no weaker than the creatures of the abyss. The devouring ability of the Death Spiral Array is very comprehensive, which is just right for her to recover from her injuries and enhance her foundation.

"However, this passage must be built in a secluded location!"

After glancing at the map, Bibi Dong decided to choose a valley in the desolate gold plains east of the city of Silves. It was not only close to her base camp, but also sparsely populated, making it very suitable. Once the Death Spiral magic array was set up in front of the passage, she would have a continuous source of Rakshasa divine power.

Her figure transformed into a streak of purple light, and in the blink of an eye, Bibi Dong arrived at her destination. Looking at the circular valley in the grassland, she nodded in satisfaction. She found a cave, easily killed the soul beasts hiding inside, and devoured all their souls and soul power before entering.

As streams of Rakshasa divine power were unleashed, a spiral-shaped magic circle appeared inside the cave, continuously devouring everything around it. When the last stream of Rakshasa divine power was unleashed, a dark purple passage appeared in the center of the spiral magic circle.

"Hey!"

A violent sound rang out from the passage, followed by a surge of dark red energy appearing in the dark purple passage. Bibi Dong opened her arms, greedily absorbing this energy to heal her injuries.

"roar!"

A series of beast roars rang out, followed by a variety of terrifying and ferocious abyssal beasts emerging from the passage. There were tigers, waves, and even monsters whose entire bodies were covered in blades. Each beast possessed at least the strength of a Soul King, with the strongest, the Abyssal Blade Demon, even having the strength of a Soul Saint.

"Good timing!"

Bibi Dong smiled excitedly. All the abyssal creatures were fixed in place, their souls, energy, and even bodies were drawn into the Death Spiral Array and transformed into dark purple Rakshasa divine power that was continuously absorbed.

"The energy level of this abyssal plane is so high! I really should have opened up the abyssal plane sooner to borrow their power for cultivation!"

A month passed quickly, and Bibi Dong finally recovered from her injuries. Her overall strength became even greater, and even the Rakshasa Divine Armor and Rakshasa Demon Scythe were successfully restored in the face of this continuous and enormous power!

After setting up multiple seals at the entrance of the passage, Bibi Dong concealed her Rakshasa Divine Armor and Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and began to think of a way to deal with Li Fei!

"With my current strength, I am definitely no match for Li Fei. With him around, it is impossible for me to unify the entire continent. I must find a way to restrain him and keep him from paying attention to this side. The Abyss Plane should be a good choice."

Bibi Dong is now very self-aware. She knows that she is no match for Li Fei right now, and in this situation, she will have to rely on external forces to win.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong concealed her presence and flew towards the Heaven Dou Empire.

……

The Jin Tie Mountains, located at the site of the largest mining vein in the Heaven Dou Empire, have always been heavily guarded. After Li Fan returned to the Body Sect and stayed there for a while, Qian Renxue arranged for him to be in charge of the defense of this area.

"Monster!"

"Brothers, run!"

……

Inside the mine, a huge passage suddenly appeared. At first, the miners were a little curious, but as beast roars came from inside, one after another, ferocious abyssal creatures, like evil ghosts, rushed out, killing anyone they saw, and then devouring life force and soul power to strengthen themselves.

Upon seeing this, all the miners dropped their tools, their faces filled with terror, and frantically ran into the mine.

Li Fan quickly received the message and led the Soul Master team guarding the area into the mine.

"Hurry! This is the most important place in the empire; nothing can go wrong!"

Soon, Li Fan bypassed the crowd and arrived at the depths of the mine. He was startled when he saw the dense horde of abyssal beasts rushing outwards.

"Seventh Soul Skill: True Form of the Weapon Spirit!"

The Iron Rod Martial Soul, which had evolved many times, appeared instantly, transforming into a colossal pillar supporting the sky. The dark golden light was completely contained within the massive Martial Soul True Body, while strands of golden lightning spilled out, crashing down upon the densely packed horde of beasts.
