Chapter 121: Successful Condensation

Zhou Heng looked up, watching the bright stars above in the sky.

His spiritual power observed that the Star Luo Spirit Pearl was pulling in and refining Star Power.

Zhou Heng actually found it hard to understand; logically speaking, these stars were actually composed of individual suns or even galaxies.

It was only because the distance was too great that they appeared as the stars seen today to the naked eye.

Then, what exactly was this star energy that the Star Luo Spirit Pearl was pulling in? Was it the power of other planets? Or was it that energy drifting through the universe?

These questions were about to have an answer.

Zhou Heng directly plucked the fruit from the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. Afterward, he pressed the fruit of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl against the position of his Lower Dantian.

What Zhou Heng was going to condense this time was a Blood Qi Soul Core; the Lower Dantian was the storage place for the human body's Innate Yuan Qi, and Innate Yuan Qi was the source of power for life activities.

Naturally, it was also the best place to condense a Blood Qi Soul Core.

The fusion of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl at the Lower Dantian position went very smoothly.

This Immortal Herb was inherently affinity-based, and digesting it was simply easier than digesting some high-year-age medicinal herbs.

The Star Luo Spirit Pearl entered the Lower Dantian, and under the scouring of Zhou Heng's spiritual power and soul power, it began to be branded with Zhou Heng's own mark, transforming bit by bit in the direction of a soul core.

One hour later, the soul core within Zhou Heng's body was completely formed; a massive vortex rotated rapidly within Zhou Heng's Lower Dantian, devouring the origin qi from the outside world.

At this moment, the soul power accumulated inside the Star Luo Spirit Pearl and the soul power from the outside world surged violently into Zhou Heng's meridians; even though Zhou Heng's meridians were already sturdier and wider than those of some Title Douluo, he still felt waves of impending pain under this massive soul power impact.

Before absorbing the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Zhou Heng was at the level of seventy-seven, and after absorbing the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Zhou Heng's soul power began to soar rapidly as if it had taken a rocket.

Seventy-eight, seventy-nine, eighty.

Zhou Heng's soul power increased level by level, and very quickly, he broke through to level eighty in one breath.

After using the power of the soul core to pull in and refine Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to increase his cultivation and reach his requirements.

Zhou Heng also began the process of converting the soul core into a Blood Qi Soul Ring.

By gathering the Qi and Blood Power of his entire body to form a vortex, he surrounded the soul core within it, replacing the soul power that had entered the soul core of the Lower Dantian.

He then converted the replaced soul power into life force through the soul core in the Middle Dantian, then used his spiritual power to control his body to absorb this life force, converting it into Qi and Blood Power, which entered the soul core of the Lower Dantian to transform the soul core.

Soon, under the erosion of the Qi and Blood Power, the soul core at the Lower Dantian position began to be stained with a touch of crimson red.

As the erosion progressed, crimson red patterns appeared on the soul core, forcibly transforming the originally attribute-less soul core into a Blood Qi Soul Core.

Once the attribute of this Blood Qi Soul Core was successfully transformed, it began to automatically pull in Zhou Heng's Qi and Blood Power, gathering it in the Lower Dantian.

The Blood Qi Soul Core then began to absorb these gathered Qi and Blood Power bit by bit.

After the absorbed Qi and Blood Power entered the Blood Qi Soul Core, it was quickly refined once, purging the impurities in the Qi and Blood Power that could not be driven out before, making the power of the Qi and Blood Power even purer.

Zhou Heng took the opportunity to pull the power of the Middle Dantian soul core to link with the Lower Dantian Blood Qi Soul Core.

This was a connection Zhou Heng established so that the two soul cores could jointly master soul power and Qi and Blood Power without repelling each other.

Just like that, an energy circuit was connected into the two soul cores.

Just when this energy circuit was completely stabilized, a special power appeared within the soul core of the Middle Dantian, entering the Blood Qi Soul Core along this stable energy circuit.

Outside, on Zhou Heng's body, bolts of lightning were generated out of thin air, entwining around Zhou Heng's body and surrounding him.

At the same time, in the night sky, wisps of energy descended, being attracted and refined by the Blood Qi Soul Core at Zhou Heng's Lower Dantian position, converting into Qi and Blood Power.

Zhou Heng felt these two types of power and hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power to suppress them.

However, it was already too late.

At this time, on the Blood Qi Soul Core, besides the crimson red patterns representing Qi and Blood Power, blue lightning patterns and miraculous purple star spots also appeared.

The next moment, the lightning entwined on Zhou Heng's body disappeared, absorbed by the Blood Qi Soul Core and turned into energy.

The wisps of energy descending from the night sky were also refined by Zhou Heng, and his Qi and Blood Power grew continuously.

In the Lower Dantian, a soul core that was perfectly round, entwined with crimson red patterns and blue lightning patterns, and also carrying a few purple star spots, was slowly rotating, pulling the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi into his body.

It was absorbed by the soul core and converted into his own Qi and Blood Power.

The converted Qi and Blood Power was absorbed by Zhou Heng's body, increasing his physical strength.

Within the Battle Instrument Martial Soul, the five Spirit Beasts—the Profound Thunder Purple Bamboo, Dream Water Fish, Evergreen Jade Lotus, Fire Phosphorus Molten Beast, and Earth-Splitting Gold Ant—were similarly affected by Zhou Heng's condensation of the Blood Qi Soul Core and began to grow rapidly.

On the bamboo body of the Profound Thunder Purple Bamboo, mysterious golden lightning patterns appeared, and half of the entire purple bamboo's body had actually turned golden.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng could not help but think of a name.

"Gold Thunder Bamboo?"

As for the Dream Water Fish, its originally bloated fish-like body actually began to transform, the body turning into the appearance of a mermaid, with long pink hair, the upper body graceful and curvaceous, with private parts covered by two sea-blue seashells.

The fish tail on the lower body was slender and shapely, and the scales had also turned a pinkish color.

In its hands, it held a sea-blue pearl, and besides the rich water-attribute power on its body, there were also massive spiritual power fluctuations.

On the Evergreen Jade Lotus, a rich aura of life bloomed, and around it, several lotus flowers grew out; looking closely, these lotus flowers were all growing on the stem of the Evergreen Jade Lotus.

The massive body of the Fire Phosphorus Molten Beast did not increase but decreased, beginning to transform toward a human shape.

In the end, the Fire Phosphorus Molten Beast turned into a sturdy man with fire-red hair; the man was two meters tall and held a long halberd formed from fire-red lava in his hand.

The Earth-Splitting Gold Ant's body grew larger again, its ten-meter-long physique shuttling wantonly within the space of the Battle Instrument Martial Soul.

Within its body, metal-attribute power faintly radiated out, and on its back, a pair of thin golden wings spread open; it had grown wings.

Far away in the Blue Silver Forest, a powerful force appeared out of thin air within the body of the Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, beginning to assist her growth.

A Yin hurriedly began to absorb this power, and after spending an hour, A Yin's age grew by more than forty thousand years, charging toward the twenty-thousand-year mark.

After absorbing this power, A Yin also understood that this was Zhou Heng achieving growth, which in turn drove her own.

As all the Spirit Beasts within the Battle Instrument Martial Soul reached one hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Inside Zhou Heng's body, five places—his left leg, both arms, head, and torso—all changed, beginning to transform toward soul bones.

Zhou Heng could only begin to refine the soul bones once again.

It took a full day for Zhou Heng to completely refine all five soul bones.
