Chapter 418 Great Advancement in Supernatural Power
Unlike the human cultivators who were overjoyed and discussing the aftermath of their ordeal.
On the other side, high in the sky, the three transformed demon cultivators who were engaged in a fierce battle with the Ninth Elder, Blood Fiend, and Elder Yan sensed something the moment Whale Power King was absorbed by the Myriad Soul Banner, and their expressions changed drastically!
"Brother Whale!!!" Fire Owl let out a long cry of surprise and anger. His sharp gaze pierced through the chaotic battle and locked onto the Myriad Soul Banner that was shimmering with dark light in the distance. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He couldn't accept that the strongest being, Whale King, would be trapped by a single magical artifact in such a short time! Judging from the fluctuations in the artifact's aura, Whale King was clearly still trapped and in a precarious situation!
"We must rescue Brother Whale!" Fire Owl roared, no longer caring about the entanglement. The crimson wings behind him suddenly solidified, and with a fierce flap, his figure transformed into an extremely fast red light, about to break free from the Blood Fiend's entanglement and rush towards the location of the Myriad Soul Banner!
He knew that they had come to launch a sneak attack while the human cultivators were forming their Nascent Souls and their defenses were weak, and they had not led a large demon army.
If the strongest Whale King is lost here, not only will this operation be a complete failure, but the top combat power of the demon race in this sea area will also be severely damaged. In the future, it will probably be difficult to suppress the human race, and even the entrance to the secret realm that they have already occupied may be lost! The consequences are unimaginable!
"Heh heh, trying to leave?" Seeing that Huo Xiao was about to break away from the battle to go to the rescue, Xue Sha, who had been suppressed by Huo Xiao's strange speed and felt quite frustrated, was not going to let him have his way.
He grinned maliciously, and his bloodthirsty aura surged violently. A crimson rope, bursting with blinding light, transformed into a blood-red dragon that coiled around the Fire Owl. At the same time, he roared, "Stay here, you bastard!"
"Get out of here!" Huo Xiao shouted anxiously and angrily, but he couldn't get rid of him.
On the other side of the battle, the situation was almost identical.
Seeing that Whale King was trapped, the Giant Octopus Ancestor was extremely anxious. He frantically waved his eight illusory tentacles, spewing out large clumps of ink containing potent poison and corrosive power, in an attempt to force back the Ninth Elder and send him to the rescue.
However, the Ninth Elder had extensive experience in combat. Having dealt with these transformed demon cultivators for so many years, he was extremely familiar with the supernatural abilities of the demon race. He used a variety of Star Palace secret techniques to keep the demon firmly entangled and prevent him from escaping.
Meanwhile, the sinister flying demon cultivator was also held back by Elder Yan with his strange gray mist and unpredictable movements. No matter how it screamed and pounced, it could not cross the line.
The balance of power was reversed in an instant!
Mingyue Tower, deep underground, the core secret chamber.
"With a hum, the spiritual energy light and shadow that had grown to nearly two hundred feet in the sky rapidly contracted, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure, as large as a mountain, suddenly erupted from Luo Ming's body, who was sitting cross-legged on the warm jade futon!
The immense pressure instantly triggered a stress response from all the protective barriers in the secret chamber. Layer upon layer of spiritual light shields flickered wildly, emitting creaking sounds as if they were about to be burst by this force!
If other Nascent Soul cultivators were here, they would surely be horrified, because the divine sense that Luo Ming was displaying at this moment had reached the level of the late Nascent Soul stage.
Luo Ming's eyes, which had been tightly closed for who knows how long, suddenly opened at this moment!
Two condensed, almost tangible, dark golden rays flashed from his pupils and disappeared into the void, leaving faint burn marks.
"call----"
He slowly exhaled a long, drawn-out breath. As this breath left his body, it faintly carried the sounds of wind and thunder, striking the flickering protective barrier opposite him and creating a violent ripple.
Luo Ming did not get up immediately, but instead carefully reflected on and introspected himself.
Within the dantian, the once flawless and radiant dark golden "golden core" had vanished.
Instead, there was an "infant" that was only two inches in size, with a chaotic and hazy gray-gold color all over its body. Its facial features were exactly the same as Luo Ming's, but it exuded endless mystery and vitality—it was Luo Ming's nascent soul!
The nascent soul was enveloped in a faint five-colored spiritual light, sitting cross-legged with its small hands naturally forming a mudra, its eyes tightly closed, as if asleep, or perhaps sensing the universe. Each faint breath resonated perfectly with Luo Ming's physical body and the flow of spiritual energy in the surrounding world.
With a slight thought, a vast and powerful force, as primordial as a boundless ocean and as refined as divine iron, was instantly mobilized from his dantian. The sense of control over this force, as effortless as an extension of his own arm, far surpassed that of someone in the Core Formation stage!
"So this is the power of the Nascent Soul stage? It is indeed far superior to that of the Core Formation stage. Those below the Nascent Soul stage are all ants, that saying is true." Luo Ming couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart, with a hint of novelty and satisfaction.
"With my current level of mana refinement, the power of a single sword strike I casually unleash is probably comparable to a full-force attack from a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, while the mana consumption is only about 20% of what it was back then—no, perhaps even less. This leap in life level brings not only a quantitative surge but also a qualitative transformation."
"Moreover, my nascent soul is a full two inches in size, twice the size of an ordinary early-stage nascent soul cultivator, and its total mana is comparable to that of a mid-stage nascent soul cultivator. In other words, I am actually considered a mid-stage nascent soul cultivator, plus my divine sense is comparable to that of a late-stage nascent soul cultivator —"
Luo Ming unconsciously showed a satisfied expression, and then a thought occurred to him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ————"
Twelve streams of shimmering light flew out from his sleeves one after another, hovering in front of him and spinning incessantly. These were his natal magic treasures—the twelve "Mysterious Origin Pearls".
Upon closer inspection, four of the twelve Xuan Yuan Pearls are clearly different from the others.
They all possessed a deeper, more refined dark golden hue, radiating an extreme sharpness and an unbreakable penetrating power that stung the skin! These were the four pieces he had refined with Geng essence!
"Unfortunately, Geng Essence is hard to find, and we only have enough to refine these four at the moment." Luo Ming glanced at the four special Xuan Yuan Pearls, shook his head slightly, and said calmly, "However, it's enough for now."
Before he could finish speaking, his thoughts shifted slightly.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Four clear, melodious sword cries, like the roar of dragons, suddenly rang out! The twelve Xuan Yuan Pearls suddenly shone with spiritual light, instantly forming pairs, rapidly combining, transforming, and condensing!
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into four flying swords, each about three feet long, with a golden and blue luster flowing throughout. A dark golden glint flickered at the tip of each sword, exuding a chilling sharpness and immense power!
Four swords hovered, their tips trembling slightly, faintly forming a profound sword aura that locked onto a certain point in the void, as if they could tear everything apart at any moment.
"This sword was forged with Xuan Water and Geng Essence, so let's call it the Xuan Geng Sword from now on!" Luo Ming looked at the four flying swords in front of him that exuded extreme sharpness and smiled with satisfaction.
"With my current Nascent Soul stage magic power and divine sense, the power of these four Xuan Geng swords should not disappoint me." Luo Ming felt the close connection between the four swords and his mind, as if they were his own limbs, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Although this is not the final form of the natal flying sword, it is based on the "Mysterious Yuan Pearl" and fused with the Geng essence. Its potential and power far exceed those of ordinary cultivators' natal magic weapons.
"Normally, when a cultivator first forms his Nascent Soul, he needs to go into seclusion for a period of time to stabilize his realm and adapt to the surge in magical power, so as to avoid a weak foundation or even going into qi deviation."
Luo Ming flexed his wrists, feeling the two-inch-long Nascent Soul within his body, and the immense divine consciousness in his sea of consciousness that far surpassed the early stage of Nascent Soul and was even comparable to the late stage of Nascent Soul. His smile deepened.
"However—my situation seems to be a little different."
The powerful physique granted by the Myriad Spirits Blood Technique not only greatly increased the capacity of his dantian, but also became the best foundation for stabilizing his surging magical power after the formation of his nascent soul. His physique, comparable to that of a transformed demon beast, was sufficient to easily bear and tame the newly formed nascent soul's magical power, without the risk of "magical power going berserk" that ordinary cultivators would face.
His divine sense, forged over many years by the Spirit Fire Forging Technique and nourished by the Soul-Nourishing Wood, further transformed and sublimated during the condensation of his Nascent Soul, had reached an astonishing level. Such powerful divine sense granted him exceptional control and suppression abilities.
Managing the surge of magical power within his body was a piece of cake.
"Physical body, magical power, and divine consciousness are all under my control. Unstable realm? It seems to be non-existent here!" Luo Ming's gaze pierced through layers of rocks and restrictions, as if he could see the fierce battle in the sky outside, and the Wanhun Banner above Mingyue Tower that was shaking violently and about to be unable to contain the powerful enemy. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, a flash of earthy yellow spiritual light appeared around him, and his entire body seemed to melt, instantly becoming ethereal and transparent, resonating with the earth beneath his feet and the surrounding rocks in a mysterious way.
The next moment, he took a step forward, and his figure, like a ghost, passed through the layers of thick rock walls and powerful protective light screens of the secret chamber without any hindrance. It was as if he had passed through a thin curtain of water and disappeared silently into the secret chamber.
Only the empty futon remained, along with the still-powerful aura of the newly born nascent soul lingering in the air.
Earth Escape Technique allows one to move by merging with the earth, ignoring ordinary restrictions and obstacles!
This is no longer a simple Five Elements Escape Technique, but a top-level escape technique that Luo Ming has unleashed after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage and gaining a deeper understanding of the earth element power contained in the "Xuanwu True Blood". He combined his own powerful magic power and strong divine sense to perform this technique, which has already vaguely touched the mystery of "spatial teleportation"!
If any other Nascent Soul cultivators were here to witness this, they would be utterly astonished and incredulous. To disregard restrictions and pass through is beyond the capabilities of even an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
Luo Ming discovered that after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, the power of his various supernatural abilities, activated by his Nascent Soul stage magic, was several times greater than before.
Above the Bright Moon Pavilion.
"Waaaaah—!!!"
The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls trembled violently, emitting a groan that made one's teeth ache. On the banner, the once clear phantom of the Ghost King had dimmed considerably, and the faces of countless malevolent spirits were twisting and howling in agony.
A torrent of yin energy, like boiling water, surged forth from the banner, attempting to retract but failing miserably. The entire banner swayed precariously in the air, as if it might disintegrate at any moment.
-
"Hold on! You must hold on! Brother Luo is about to succeed!" Yin Yue gripped the top of the banner pole tightly with all four limbs. Her small body trembled slightly from overexerting her soul power. Her originally lively silver fur appeared somewhat dull, and her little face was full of anxiety and panic.
She desperately mobilized the Yin Soul power stored within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, working with the Ghost King to try and reinforce the restrictions within the banner's space to suppress the raging beast.
However, the effect was minimal.
