Chapter 193: Spirit Awakening Limit of 40% and the Power of an Ascendant-Rank Soul
Chapter 193: Spirit Awakening Limit of 40% and the Power of an Ascendant-Rank Soul
"【Your spirit power has reached level 30, and your spirit awakening limit has increased to 40%】" Two consecutive Divine Palace notifications flashed.
Spirit power level 30! The spirit awakening limit increased to 40%!
Ascendant Rank!
"Spirit power, has it entered the Ascendant Rank?" Li Yuan felt a sense of realization, instantly understanding that his soul had undergone a complete transformation, truly reaching an entirely new level.
From spirit power level 21 to 29.9, there was a difference of several dozen times, but that was only in terms of quantity.
However, the leap from 29.9 to level 30 was a qualitative change.
It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Finally, I've reached the Ascendant Rank in one aspect." Li Yuan's thoughts stirred: "Moreover, with a spirit awakening limit of 40%, once it reaches the extreme, I can infuse Essence Energy into my body once again."
"I estimate that if I infuse Essence Energy into my body again, I'll become an Essence Warrior."
Numerous thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind in an instant.
He couldn't afford to think further.
There was no time to feel the changes brought about by reaching the Ascendant Rank in spirit power.
Li Yuan's entire attention remained focused on his mind world, still exerting all his strength to suppress the eruption of the blazing sun.
He continuously endured the nourishment of countless starlight within his visualization space.
Boom! Li Yuan's spirit power underwent a transformation, with no change in overall quantity, but the quality had increased by several dozen times or more.
He exerted all his strength to suppress the blazing sun.
...
Inside the cave, Liu Jing was leisurely cultivating.
Suddenly—
Boom! As if a tidal wave, an invisible wave of energy erupted from Li Yuan, sweeping terrifying pressure in all directions.
The surrounding soil and dust showed no signs of change; if recorded by a camera, there would be no visible difference.
However, Liu Jing was like a person struck by lightning, his entire head slightly dazed.
This pressure wasn't a one-time occurrence; after just two seconds, another terrifying wave of pressure struck.
"Hmm~" Liu Jing felt increasingly uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled hum to feel a bit more comfortable.
"Li Yuan?"
"What's going on?" Liu Jing was shocked.
He was already considered an expert among Essence Warriors, and his spirit power was comparable to top-tier Essence Warriors. In an instant, he understood what was happening.
It was spiritual pressure.
It must be from Li Yuan! His spirit power must have suddenly become uncontrollable, releasing this terrifying spiritual pressure.
"My spirit power can definitely rival that of top-tier Essence Warriors." Liu Jing stared at Li Yuan in shock: "Even some top-tier Essence Warriors who have cultivated spirit secret techniques would find it difficult to shake my spirit."
"Not to mention making me lose my senses for an instant, even if it was only for a moment, it's still incredible."
"How did Li Yuan do it?"
It was extremely difficult to make a powerful warrior lose their senses.
The consequences were also extremely severe.
One must know that during life-and-death battles between strong warriors, life and death hang by a thread. If one side suddenly loses their senses due to spiritual pressure, even if they regain consciousness the next second—
But that one second is the difference between life and death.
Boom! The spiritual pressure emanating from Li Yuan's body once again surged forward, overwhelming Liu Jing.
Liu Jing felt increasingly uncomfortable, but after a brief adjustment, he wouldn't lose his senses again.
However, after understanding the reason, Liu Jing no longer hesitated.
Whoosh! Liu Jing stood up, flew out of the cave, and quickly climbed up the cliff.
He distanced himself from the cave by several dozen meters before he felt the spiritual pressure no longer affecting him.
"Such powerful spirit power?" Liu Jing stood on a protruding rock on the cliff, gazing at the cave in the distance, his heart filled with awe.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that Li Yuan's spirit power has reached... the Ascendant Rank?"
He found it hard to believe.
A young warrior whose physical qualities were still some distance from Second Rank had reached the Ascendant Rank in spirit power? But when he thought about Li Yuan, he understood.
"I get it now."
"It's not the power of the Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit. Even if it were two fruits instead of one, it wouldn't be possible for a First Rank Warrior's spirit power to directly reach the Ascendant Rank." Numerous thoughts flashed through Liu Jing's mind: "It's Li Yuan himself."
"Before this, his spirit power was probably already comparable to top-tier Essence Warriors."
"Perhaps his spirit power was already at the Second Rank limit."
"That's why he could break free from his shackles with just one Soul Infusing Ancient Spirit Fruit." Liu Jing believed he had uncovered the truth, but he was even more shocked: "No wonder his skills are so exceptional."
"He was already a freak, achieving Heaven-Earth Unity at such a young age."
"Now, his spirit power has transformed again, and his skills will likely become even more terrifying."
"Fifth Level Heaven-Earth Unity..."
"Sixth Level... the legendary Heavenly-Earth Essence..." Liu Jing thought to himself: "Could it be that our Xia Kingdom is about to produce a freakish genius even more extraordinary than Jinghe Yu?"
At this moment, Liu Jing's mind was filled with thoughts of Jinghe Yu and the two strongest figures in Xia Kingdom's history—Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai!
...
Boom! Li Yuan's spirit power continued to impact the surroundings. If it were an ordinary person, they might have instantly become dizzy or even died from such continuous impact.
And this was without Li Yuan cultivating any spirit secret techniques.
The spirit secret techniques cultivated by Essence Warriors were merely child's play, mostly serving auxiliary functions.
But the spirit secret techniques cultivated by Ascendant Rank warriors were truly formidable, and some extremely freakish ones could directly destroy the mind worlds of Essence Warriors.
This was the terror of the Ascendant Rank.
No matter if it was physical, mental, skill, or willpower, as long as one aspect of the breakthrough reached the Ascendant Rank, it would be a qualitative change.
It would be easy to dominate those below the Ascendant Rank.
For example, Li Yuan, who had reached level 30 in willpower early on, could easily endure various tortures and maintain absolute calm in any combat state.
Time passed.
After more than ten minutes, the mental pressure emanating from Li Yuan finally dissipated.
"It's gone?" Liu Jing wondered silently, feeling suspicious but not daring to enter the cave again. He waited outside.
If he had subconsciously considered Li Yuan as a junior before, from this moment on, he truly regarded Li Yuan as a peer.
He even believed that Li Yuan's strength would soon surpass his own.
... Inside the cave.
Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was profound, seemingly unchanged from the past, but with an essential difference within.
"Perception." Li Yuan's mental power extended, easily sensing everything around him.
Within a radius of several dozen meters, every inch of the land, dust, soil, grass, rocks, and even tiny flying insects were all within his perception.
This 'perception' was fundamentally different from the past.
"This should be the 'Divine Perception' described in the Starfire Martial Palace's database," Li Yuan realized.
When mental power reaches an extreme, it can subtly interfere with reality, according to legends.
Although Ascendant Rank mental power couldn't achieve this, it could already perceive reality to a certain extent.
In other words, even if an Ascendant Rank warrior was blind, their mental perception, at close range, would be sharper than their eyes, capable of penetrating any material obstruction.
Divine Perception was like looking down from a higher dimension.
And this was just one of the abilities of Ascendant Rank mental power.
"The circulation of heaven and earth."
"The mysteries of nature." Li Yuan felt a connection, but in the past, his mental perception of nature's mysteries was very vague.
Only through spear practice and prolonged meditation could he barely merge his mind with heaven and earth, reaching the level of 'Divine Union with Heaven and Earth.'
But now.
With a thought, Li Yuan's powerful spiritual consciousness seemed to detach from his physical body and instantly merge with the surrounding heaven and earth.
In an instant, he achieved Divine Union with Heaven and Earth.
"Once mental power reaches the Ascendant Rank, given enough time, one's skills will inevitably reach the level of 'Celestial Unity.'" Li Yuan understood this.
Because the foundation was too high.
"As for me, I achieved Celestial Unity long ago." Li Yuan closed his eyes, and his spirit sensed the mysteries of heaven and earth. Gradually, he felt the essential mysteries and power sources flowing within heaven and earth.
It wasn't the traces of nature's mysteries in motion but the most fundamental rules and power sources hidden within the circulation of heaven and earth.
"The method of circulating heaven and earth."
"The essence of Source Power."
"Source Power of Gold, Fire, Earth, Wood..." Li Yuan vaguely sensed these Source Powers, which he was most familiar with.
"There are also mysterious Source Powers floating in the heavens and earth that I am not familiar with."
Li Yuan vaguely understood that these Source Powers, which he could only vaguely sense, and the mysteries of heaven and earth's circulation, were the power of the 'Law.'
The legendary Sixth Level Technique.
"I can only sense this power now. If I can control it, it would represent true control over a strand of the essence of heaven and earth. Once unleashed, the power would be unimaginable." Li Yuan thought to himself.
At this thought, Li Yuan recalled the combat video he had seen of the battle in the Robo Sea Star System.
Yuan Hun Gu Ling Mu!
"As a top-tier Essence Warrior, he could fly through the air, which means he must have controlled a strand of the essence of heaven and earth." Li Yuan now understood the other party's strength.
As an Essence Warrior who had reached the Sixth Level Technique.
No wonder he dared to claim he could rival an Ascendant Rank warrior.
After all, according to Li Yuan's discussions with Li Yang and Dean Xu, some Ascendant Rank warriors only reached the Fifth Level Perfection in their skills.
"Ascendant Rank mental power."
"I can achieve Divine Union with Heaven and Earth at any time. From now on, my spear technique and body technique will improve at a much faster rate than before."
"My physical improvement will also be much faster than before." Li Yuan's eyes shone with a hint of brilliance.
It was foreseeable that his growth rate would soar once again.
With this thought, Li Yuan opened the Divine Palace panel.
---
【Life Tier: 19.2 (First Rank)】
Fist Strength: 54,400 kg
Speed: 103.8 m/s
Mental Power: 30.2
Willpower: 31
Spirit Awakening Level: 30% (Current Limit: 40%)
Star Vessel: Level 10
Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Level, 10%), Body Technique (Fifth Level, 11%), Fist Technique (Perfection)
...
"The breakthrough in mental power has even increased my Life Tier by 0.1 level." Li Yuan smiled slightly, "Both my spear technique and body technique have improved by 3% in a short time."
It should be known that although the life-and-death battle in Flying Serpent Valley had given Li Yuan profound insights, he hadn't had time to truly summarize and comprehend them.
However, the breakthrough in mental power and the perception of heaven and earth's mysteries had already unknowingly improved his skills significantly.
This was the advantage of a higher foundation.
"The limit of my spirit awakening has also reached 40%." Li Yuan glanced sideways, "Unfortunately, I dare not continue to improve within the Mingxu Star Realm."
