Chapter 230 The Art of Souls - Modified, The Evil Emperor's Sacrifice

The evolution of his martial soul brought about an all-round improvement. Even his soul skills, which he had previously used as an auxiliary tool, could now unleash powerful effects.

For example, the Golden Condensation Type was an auxiliary soul skill he once used to create the outer shell of a soul tool, covering a pre-prepared core array, and producing a large number of soul-guided floating cannons in a short period of time.

For example, the Sacrifice of Gold is an auxiliary soul skill that absorbs the energy inside metal to help restore soul power or accelerate one's own cultivation.

After the martial soul evolves, many variations of its effects are added.

To what extent it can be achieved still needs to be tested by him, but even without actually trying it, Xiao Hongchen knows that these soul skills already possess considerable direct combat capabilities.

He is now not only a Soul Master, but also a true Soul Saint-level Soul Master. Even without his Soul Guidance Device, he possesses formidable personal combat power.

Indeed, born in the Sun Moon Empire, Xiao Hongchen was born with a passion for soul tools and often looked down on Shrek Academy's assessment that "soul masters only rely on external forces."

But in reality, he also longed to possess power beyond his soul tool.

However, there is one thing that Xiao Hongchen is unaware of.

The evolution of a martial spirit is not just about increasing combat power.

The three-legged toad, a divine beast spirit, has been associated with bringing wealth and prosperity, as well as many children and blessings since ancient times. Leaving aside the former, the latter, "many children and blessings," is quite interesting.

This was something Lin Nuo had only planned on the spot; without Jing Hongchen's words, he wouldn't have thought of this.

But there was nothing he could do; the prisoner had already said it.

The inheritance of ultimate martial souls is extremely difficult. The first three ultimate attribute soul masters in the history of Douluo Continent failed to pass on their ultimate attributes. Even though their descendants had the same martial soul as their ancestors, their martial souls lacked that ultimate power.

The same principle applies to Meng Hongchen; just because she can withstand extreme attributes doesn't mean her descendants can.

Super Martial Souls do not have this concern.

Even super martial souls are still within the range that normal humans can bear. With the strength of the Hongchen family, they have enough resources to lay a solid foundation for the newborns.

If a child has sufficient nutrition before the age of six, their physical strength will be higher when they awaken their martial soul at the age of six, and they will be able to withstand more complete power, so that their martial soul will not be forced to degenerate due to the weakness of their body.

Add to that the positive buff of the three-legged toad bringing many children and good fortune, and Lao Xiao is simply a chosen stud!

Once Lin Nuo finishes his seclusion and tells Jing Hongchen about this, this chosen one, Xiao Hongchen, will finally meet his true mentor.

"I wonder if Lao Xiao will enjoy it, or if he'll be so exploited that he'll be terrified of even the slightest bit of beauty?"

In the other secret room, Lin Nuo revealed a mischievous smile, then continued to immerse himself in his mind, sorting out the power within his body.

The development of Electrolux is nearing completion, and the Soul Art Modified is about to be released. Linno has also arranged the method of consuming the Evil Eye Tyrant.

The Evil Emperor's origin is extremely vast. With a voluntary sacrifice, his profound origin of 790,000 years can be utilized by Electrolux almost perfectly.

This leads to a rather awkward situation.

Humans possess essence, energy, and spirit, which reside in the three dantian: upper, middle, and lower. The spirit is stored in the space between the eyebrows, the energy in the chest, and the essence in the lower abdomen.

Lin Nuo has already used his lower dantian to open up the life soul core and the living demiplane. The life soul core has become the world core of the demiplane, and its enormous life force is constantly strengthening Lin Nuo's life essence and physical strength.

The attribute of the Evil Eye Tyrant is spirit, which corresponds to the Niwan Palace in the upper dantian.

Originally, Lin Nuo could have taken advantage of the Evil Eye Tyrant's sacrifice to directly condense his second soul core and reach the bottleneck of Quasi-Title Douluo through the Yin-Yang complementarity method. With 790,000 years of accumulation, it would not have been particularly difficult for him to cross the ten-level threshold to become a Title Douluo.

However, the lack of a middle dantian forced Lin Nuo to abandon the idea.

If he were a native Soul Master of the Douluo Continent, he wouldn't need to consider so many things. Simply condensing a resonant Soul Core between his middle and upper dantian to break through to the Limit Douluo level would be enough.

Many people want to reach this realm, but they have nowhere to go.

But Lin Nuo can't do that. If he uses his upper and lower dantian to condense yin and yang complementarity first, he'll be in trouble when he reaches level 98. He'll need to actively destroy the already stable yin and yang complementarity dual soul core connection and forcibly insert another soul core.

This is no different from courting death. With two complementary Yin-Yang soul cores activating simultaneously, he will only become a large-scale god-killing soul-guided missile.

This already meant that he wouldn't be able to condense a second soul core at this critical juncture.

He couldn't even absorb too much of the power of the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler; he could only absorb the basic source power to break through bottlenecks and condense soul rings and soul bones. Most of the other source power had to be used to cultivate a puppet henchman at the peak of the quasi-god level.

Lin Nuo didn't care much about his soul power level; his cultivation speed was always incredibly fast.

He was happy to exchange a mental-type fighter at the peak of the Quasi-God level for a soul power level that could be easily boosted by taking a few pills.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, who even had to keep his soul bone as his core, this loss is only a meager investment compared to the gains.

What truly frustrated him was that such a good opportunity to condense a soul core had been lost.

"Well, when you're in trouble, why not think about other soul beasts?" Lin Nuo sighed, and the image of a mermaid appeared in his mind.

The Must-Eat List of the Peerless Tang Sect: The 620,000-Year-Old Ferocious Beast of the Mermaid Clan: The Sea Princess!

Living in the icy sea, besides her enhanced mental strength, she probably also possesses a certain degree of water or ice attributes, which is quite compatible with the Snow Empress's martial soul and can be added to her second martial soul.

Since there's no way to condense a second soul core during the Evil Eye Tyrant's sacrifice, then we'll wait until we condense a third soul core to cause trouble for the Sea Princess.

There is no problem that cannot be solved by grasping it and refining it in an instant.

If so, refine a few more.

For some beings, anything that isn't humanoid is edible, but for Lin Nuo, even humanoids aren't inedible, especially since the Sea Princess isn't purely humanoid, but rather a half-beast.

Eating it—well, okay, it's still a bit hard to bring myself to do it.

I might need to do some mental preparation then.

While Lin Nuo was lost in thought, Electrolux also completed the research and development of the new Soul Spirit Contract. Compared to the original method of absorbing the souls of soul beasts to serve as soul rings, this modified Soul Spirit Contract is more like a projection.

The power of the soul beast is projected into the soul master's body, ensuring the soul beast's body remains intact and allowing the soul beast's soul to transfer between the body and the soul master.

However, this method is not replicable.

A body without a soul will inevitably decay and eventually die. The soul is the core of the body. A body without a soul is like a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.

Furthermore, the longer the soul is separated from the body, the probability of it being extinguished gradually changes from a risk to an inevitability.

This cannot be solved simply by allowing the soul beast's soul within the soul master to return to their body.

In layman's terms, this method is like a person being "temporarily brought back to life" by a soul-summoning spell after death, allowing the deceased body to return to the world of the living. The body is still dead, and even if the soul can return to its original body and drive it to act, it cannot change the fact that the body has already died.

It was ultimately sacrificed.

Unless external force is used to solidify the body of the soul beast after its sacrifice, so that the body can remain in a "living" state permanently.

This is the function of the undead demiplane and the living demiplane.

The rules of the Undead Demiplane allow the Evil Eye Tyrant to retain its body after sacrifice, while the rules of the Living Demiplane allow its body to remain active after sacrifice.

Electrolux's Soul Contract Modified serves as a bridge between Linno and the Evil Emperor's remains, allowing the Evil Emperor's soul to regain control of his remains through the power of the contract.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, only Electrolux is capable of doing something like this.

This involves not only the forbidden zones of life, but also the application of rules and the mysteries of magic.

It even requires the use of divine sense, a power beyond the ordinary, to activate it.

This "unreplicable" condition is exactly what Lin Nuo needs. He doesn't want souls to originate from his hands, so this is the best solution.

Electrolux, as the officiant of the ritual, began to refine various rare materials to inscribe the magic circle.

The sacrificial ceremony is held in the demiplane of the dead.

This way, he can not only enjoy the benefits of the rules of the undead demiplane, but also project his own living demiplane and add the rules of life to this world.

The Douluo Continent would reject Lin Nuo's world rules, but the Undead Demiplane would not. This is because the Douluo Continent's plane consciousness and plane master would not cooperate with the arrival of Lin Nuo's world and would even reject it. However, the Undead Demiplane, under the control of Ilex, would actively accept Lin Nuo's world and would not have a rejection effect on the living beings demiplane projected by him.

In this situation, Linno could even maintain the world projection state for a long time without incurring too much consumption.

It's not much different from a normal martial soul release; you just need to pay the basic cost of maintaining the world projection.

This amount of energy expenditure is nothing compared to his soul core. The soul power he recovers with each breath is enough to sustain the world projection for several times longer.

Using a large amount of rare materials, Electrolux gradually carved out an irregular magic matrix, hundreds of meters in diameter, on the land of the undead demiplane.

Electrolux worked tirelessly for half a month, day and night, just to inscribe this magic circle before it was finally completed.

During these two weeks, Lin Nuo also completed communication with the super artifact, the Scepter of Life, hidden in his brow, and obtained one use right of it.

This permission is naturally for Electrolux.

As we all know, the staff in a magician's hand is their weapon, and the stronger the staff, the more advanced the magic the magician can unleash.

Electrolux had long since passed the stage where he needed a scepter to cast spells, but a scepter was still a significant aid, not to mention the Scepter of Life, a super artifact comparable to all his former Towers of Eternity.

The center of the undead demiplane.

Linno and the humanoid Evil Eye Tyrant each stood at the two core hubs of the magic circle, while Elex stood between them.

"Are you ready?" Electrox asked.

"Ready?" Lin Nuo nodded.

The Evil Emperor opposite him nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Electrox gently raised the Staff of Life in his hand and began chanting an obscure and difficult-to-understand magic spell.

As the incantation was recited, the magic array patterns engraved on the ground lit up one by one.

His chanting, which started softly and low, gradually became clear and high-pitched, with a majestic and heavy aura like the words of an ancient god, spreading far and wide in the empty undead demiplane.

With each low murmur, the gray sky and eerie purple sun of the undead demiplane would respond to Elex's voice.

Lightning flashed, and crimson lightning raged across the sky, eventually creating an apocalyptic scene.

Unlike the strange phenomena in the world, a sacred power of light appeared on Electrox's body. This power of light was transmitted from him to the Scepter of Life in his hand, and then amplified by the massive life force of this super artifact, completely illuminating the entire Soul Spirit Array.

He stood in the center of the magic circle, and a majestic and sacred light lifted him into the air.

At this moment, the divine power of the Necromancer God was finally revealed, revealing only the tip of the iceberg.

But neither Linno nor the Evil Eye Tyrant had time to pay attention to the mighty Elex. As soon as he began chanting, the magic circle was activated, and the Evil Eye Tyrant also initiated the sacrificial ritual.

A crimson pillar of light shot into the sky, and terrifying fluctuations of soul power instantly swept out.

According to the sacrificial procedure in Douluo Continent, the crimson pillar of light from the sacrifice of the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord was meant to envelop both him and Lin Nuo, and the soul power fluctuations spreading from the sacrifice would also flow into Lin Nuo's body along with his original power.

However, the crimson energy sacrificed by the Evil Eye Tyrant, like viscous and heavy mercury, gradually seeped into the magic circle beneath their feet, and then, through the transformation of the magic circle, was reinjected into their respective bodies.

As the sacrificial energy grew larger and larger, the brilliant golden light gradually became tinged with a rich crimson hue. Finally, the gold and crimson hues completely merged together, becoming indistinguishable, transforming into a dazzling, radiant reddish-gold.

Like magma, or like the fiery blood of a phoenix.

Power, immense power.

A power powerful enough to destroy everything.

Lin Nuo felt as if he had been thrown into a boiling oil pot. The scorching energy surged into his body through every pore, and an extremely painful yet incredibly powerful feeling kept surfacing in his mind.

The bottleneck of level 80 was broken almost instantly, and seven blood-red soul rings appeared on his body uncontrollably.

And in that illusory eighth ring position, a crimson-gold soul ring slowly condensed.
