Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 62 The Nine Great Battle Techniques of Soul Capture

"The second level of soul-capturing is the foundation, encompassing everything, but the most important thing is searching for memories within the soul."

"This first step is very important because if the foundation is not solid, the subsequent steps will become increasingly weak."

"It comes with a combat skill called Spirit Eye, which is more of a support skill, so it is only at the mid-level of Earth Rank. It uses the power of the soul to concentrate in the eyes and see through all illusions."

"The third and fourth levels are both Soul Devouring, which devours the power of souls for one's own use, thereby enhancing one's own soul power. The soul realm needs to reach the Spirit Realm. The combat techniques are Cold Shadow Soul Spike and Phantom Soul Blade, respectively. They are powerful attacks and are both high-level Earth-rank combat techniques."

"The fifth level of Soul Sealing is another watershed moment, because from this level onwards, all subsequent combat skills are Heaven-rank, and this level is an important stage for entering the Heaven-rank from the late Spirit Realm."

"Soul Sealing, as the name suggests, is to seal the enemy's soul. It comes with two combat techniques, both of which are low-level Heaven Rank. One is the Soul Sealing Technique that I just used to suppress the poison gas for Little Fairy Doctor, and the other is the combination of the Soul-Slaying Bow and the Soul-Piercing Arrow."

"Soul Sealing Technique..." Xiao Yan muttered to himself, feeling a sense of unease. He still had a long way to go.

"The Soul Seal is also an attack method, but Little Fairy Doctor is not an enemy, so I made some modifications to make it so gentle," Soul Qinghao said casually, tossing his silver hair.

"The sixth and seventh levels are both about soul control, controlling the souls of others for one's own use, and can also be used to create puppets. They require strong soul power, and the combat skills are all mid-level Heaven Rank. The sixth level combat skill, 'Sound Soul Sea, Soul Sound Annihilation,' is equivalent to a domain when it is used."

"The seventh level of combat skill, 'Thousand Soul Threads, Puppet Show,' well, this skill is a bit troublesome to cultivate..."

At this point, Hun Qinghao suddenly stopped.

Unlike the others who were puzzled, Yao Chen, Da Zi, and Hun Dan understood what Hun Qinghao meant by the trouble.

Yao Chen and Da Zi had seen that Hun Qing used Soul-Guiding Wood to carve wooden puppets. It wasn't simply a matter of carving a puppet; the master needed to imbue it with a certain artistic conception.

Hun Dan is a genius of the Soul Clan, so he naturally understands his own clan's techniques.

"What trouble?" Xiao Yan asked with great interest, his dark eyes fixed on Hun Qinghao.

"Because it requires wooden puppets carved from soul-guiding wood, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, so I'll show you and you'll see." Hun Qinghao didn't know how to explain it either, so he simply released the dolls he had carved.

"Hehehe...hehehe..."

Eighteen wooden puppets suddenly appeared, suspended in the air, connected by faint silver threads that gave them life and made them make sounds like infants.

They were clearly cute little dolls, but when Xiao Yan looked at them, he felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of dread rose from the depths of his heart.

He hugged his arms and shivered. "This looks...seriously creepy!"

"Nonsense! The dolls are so cute, why are you saying that about them? Are you worried they'll get angry and devour you?" Hun Qinghao glared at Xiao Yan, then said in a sinister tone, making a fierce face at him.

Xiao Yan was startled and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Seemingly to cooperate with Hun Qing's wishes, the dolls climbed onto Xiao Yan on their own, even without her control. Their eerie laughter and the sinister red light in their eyes filled Xiao Yan with fear, and a bead of cold sweat rolled down his back.

Although he knew that Hun Qing would not let these wooden dolls hurt him, Xiao Yan was still too scared to move.

This is truly terrifying!

It's simply not of this world!

"Alright, kids, come back!" Hun Qinghao flicked the soul silk in her hand and gave a faint smile as she commanded.

With Hun Qinghao's command, the dolls instantly became obedient and returned to her side.

Having escaped the dolls' clutches, Xiao Yan regained his energy. He poked at the silver threads and asked, "The dolls are controlled by these silver threads, but they're so thin. What happens if they get cut?"

Hun Qing said with a half-smile, "You can try and see if you can cut it."

"Should I cut it?" Xiao Yan was eager to try, but thinking of Hun Qinghao's fighting prowess, he didn't dare to make a move. He cautiously asked, "If it really breaks, you won't beat me up, will you?"

The scoundrel standing to the side couldn't stand his procrastination and drew a short blade. He gathered his fighting spirit on the blade and slashed at the slender silver thread.

The sharp blade pierced through the silver thread, but the silver thread remained unharmed and undamaged.

Xiao Yan touched the undamaged silver hair and stared at Hun Dan in disbelief.

Hun Dan sheathed his short blade and said calmly, "See? Now you know your worries were unnecessary. If this silver thread has such a big flaw, how can this fighting technique overpower other fighting techniques to occupy the seventh level?"

Hun Qing took back the wooden dolls.

"You're right, your worries are unnecessary. These soul threads are all formed from my soul power. As long as my soul power is not exhausted, no one can cut them."

"Once you reach the seventh level, you will understand how troublesome this fighting technique is. Because once you reach this level, there are very few people whose soul power is stronger than yours, let alone those who can sever soul threads. Moreover, these dolls can increase their strength by devouring others. Your upper limit is their upper limit."

"Of course, to achieve this level, your carving technique and the artistic conception you imbue in the doll must be superb, and the age of the soul-guiding wood is also important."

"My father was meticulous and only carved three wooden puppets. However, due to the age of the Soul-Guiding Wood, the puppets' strength was only at the Dou Sheng level."

Damn it: "But in the eyes of top experts like the clan leader, these children are no longer worth considering."

Hun Qinghao nodded. This was also the reason why her father left all the thousand-year-old soul-guiding wood he had collected to her, because he no longer needed it.

However, she was fortunate enough to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Guiding Wood, so these two dolls should be able to advance to the Dou Di level along with her!

Hun Qinghao never doubted whether she could break through to the Dou Di realm.

Patting Xiao Yan on the shoulder, Hun Qinghao, adopting the air of someone with experience, said earnestly, "So, Xiao Yan, if you are confident that you can cultivate to the seventh level, then from now on, you must practice carving diligently. Back then, it took me a year to learn to carve like this."

"Yes!" Xiao Yan nodded emphatically, clenching his fists, and silently put learning carving on his agenda.

That's just how confident he is!

"What about the eighth and ninth levels?" Xiao Yan asked again.

"The eighth level, the return to oneness, is the ultimate mystery of the Heavenly Realm Soul. It allows the soul to separate from the body, the soul's power to merge with the power of heaven and earth, and to borrow the great power of heaven and earth."

"The accompanying combat skill is a high-level Heaven-rank technique called 'Soul's Ultimate, Ninefold Moon.' It combines the power of the soul with the power of heaven and earth, condensing it in the form of a bright moon. The nine bright moons unite as one, creating boundless power!"
