Chapter 335: Earth Soul Core (Part II)
In particular, the aura from his back was powerful to an extreme; following its eruption, it even suppressed the aura of the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone by a fraction.
In an instant, the phantom of the shattered armor condensed once more, releasing a faint radiance; as yellow, green, and silver—three distinct colors—interlaced, they converged under the connection of gold.
However, following Shi Quan's heavy heartbeat, black and white light emerged from the Samsara Mark at the center of Shi Quan's brow, and immediately after, the black and white light erupted, rendering everything in the surroundings into a world of black and white once again.
A cold touch began to extend from the center of Shi Quan's brow, and in the blink of an eye, it had enveloped Shi Quan's head; a helmet appeared on Shi Quan's head, the style of the helmet was ancient and simple, with black as the main tone, bearing white patterns, and a Vertical Eye Demon Pattern at the center of the brow, looking mysterious and unfathomable, and then it extended downward, with the armor gradually covering Shi Quan's entire body.
Everything was simple black and white.
The breastplate was thick and imposing while lacking no dominance, with lines of ancient patterns like high mountains and Thick Earth; the armor on his arms and legs also had different shapes, but they looked strangely harmonious, as if they were a single, primordial entity.
Shi Quan could feel his entire body boiling; following the Breakthrough of the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone, his entire body's blood, meridians, and bones all seemed to have turned golden, and with every movement, it seemed to carry an overwhelming momentum.
The Breakthrough of the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone, in addition to its own quality breaking through to the Shiji level, allowed his body to break through human limitations and reach the level of a god.
At the same time, numerous soul bones, under the coordination of the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone, also initially transformed into Divine Armor; incomparably vast energy constantly surged around his body, and the powerful amplification effect gave Shi Quan the feeling that he could shatter a small planet with a single punch.
However, Shi Quan had no mind to care about these things now; the most urgent task was to integrate the Earth Soul Core into his body.
Under the control of his Divine Sense, the rotation speeds of the Mental, Life, and Earth Soul Cores were all gradually slowed down under his control. The slower they were, the less likely the process of the soul cores colliding and merging would be to have problems.
With the speeds of the three soul cores reduced, Shi Quan began to make fine adjustments. He let the rotation speed of the Mental Soul Core in his Upper Dantian at the center of his brow—that is, the first soul core—accelerate a little, while the rotation speeds of the second and third soul cores in his Middle Dantian in his chest and his Lower Dantian in his lower abdomen were both reduced by a fraction.
In this way, the first and second soul cores, which had originally been blending with each other, began to become somewhat disordered.
Their blending with each other was established on the basis of balance, and only then could the Yin-Yang Complement be completed. At this moment, one was rotating fast and one was rotating slow. In this way, the balance was naturally going to be broken.
The soul power fluctuations began to become unstable, but Shi Quan made a strange choice; he quietly extracted the Mental Power from his sea of consciousness.
The Mental Soul Core was at the core position of the sea of consciousness; while extracting, he gradually separated the Mental Soul Core from the sea of consciousness.
The vast Mental Power in the sea of consciousness was the origin of the Mental Soul Core; without the support of the sea of consciousness, the Mental Soul Core could not maintain stability at all.
It was only because of Shi Quan's powerful mental control that he dared to do this; if someone else had attempted this, they would have died long ago without knowing where.
There was no other way; after absorbing the vast Mental Power of the Evil Eye and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and after his soul transformed into a Divine Soul, the two soul cores in his body were already somewhat unbalanced. Because the Mental Soul Core was too strong, while the Life Soul Core was much inferior. Therefore, when they collided to produce swirling soul power, the situation of the Mental Soul Core's power devouring the Life Soul Core's power would occur.
For this reason, Shi Quan had previously been forced to sever a portion of the sea of consciousness from the Mental Soul Core and store it separately, which was why no problems had occurred. But at this moment, what he had to rely on was the advantage of the Mental Soul Core itself to carry out this fusion.
Now that the Mental Soul Core was suppressed, the Life Soul Core immediately began to counterattack, just like a person who had been oppressed for a long time suddenly possessing power, and immediately blowing the horn of counterattack.
He did not control the Life Soul Core, but instead aided the Life Soul Core; without the support of the sea of consciousness, coupled with the advancement of Shi Quan's body, the Life Soul Core was also enhanced, and the Life Soul Core's sense of oppression toward the Mental Soul Core became even more powerful.
Just when the Life Soul Core had suppressed the Mental Soul Core to the extreme, Shi Quan suddenly lifted the seal on the Mental Soul Core and the sea of consciousness, and collected all the extracted Mental Power back into the sea of consciousness.
In an instant, the Mental Soul Core rebounded like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme, crashing toward the Life Soul Core in his chest.
At this very moment, Shi Quan withdrew the protection of the Earth Soul Core in his Lower Dantian.
The power of the Earth Soul Core's rotation immediately appeared, and under the action of that huge pulling force, this Earth Soul Core was also dragged out of the dantian, leaving its original position. It instantly crashed toward the Mental Soul Core and the Life Soul Core.
The two soul cores that were already colliding were also stunned by this sudden third soul core.
All three soul cores were displaced, and within his body, whether it was Mental Power, Life soul power, or Extreme Earth Soul Power, everything was in a state of chaos.
But there was one thing that was not chaotic: all three major soul cores wanted to return to their own positions.
Shi Quan's Divine Soul was the strongest, so the Mental Soul Core instantly bounced back and established a connection with the sea of consciousness; at that instant, the Spirit Soul Martial Soul and the power of the Divine Soul instantly completed their fusion with it, and his Mental Power suddenly sublimated, erupting with an even more terrifying pulling force.
This pulling force was so strong that the Life Soul Core and the Earth Soul Core were pulled and bounced up again just as they had returned.
However, just as the two bounced up, the energy between the two of them instantly collided again.
The directions of these two soul cores' rotation were opposite; under Shi Quan's precise control, the two were immediately in a state of complementary balance, and the three soul cores instantly formed a strange triangle.
Because the two soul cores formed a complement, the powerful pulling force of the Mental Soul Core was no longer pulling on a single soul core, but was directly pulling on the chain of the Life and Extreme Earth soul cores. The vast Mental Power was injected directly into the rapidly rotating swirling soul power.
Clearly, the result was unshakable, and the two soul cores therefore suddenly sank, returning to their respective dantians.
The Mental Soul Core was the most powerful; its power descended to the Life Soul Core, and then after merging with the Life Soul Core, it settled down to the Earth Soul Core. The excess Mental Power was resolved by the Earth Soul Core through bearing and containing it. With the power of the second and third soul cores, the energy of the Mental Soul Core that was superior to them was just right to be resolved.
A strange balance appeared just like this. It was like a circling and recurring ribbon, presented within Shi Quan's body.
The third soul core, fusion complete!
