Chapter 715: Tribulation Lightning Power, Soul-Shattering Divine Skill

Chapter 715: Tribulation Lightning Power, Soul-Shattering Divine Skill

Within the Earth Abyss.

A small gray cauldron shimmered with faint black lightning arcs, quietly floating in midair.

The surrounding spirit qi swarmed towards it, only to mysteriously disappear without a trace.

Suddenly, a bolt of black lightning struck out, creating a thick hole in the solid earth vein.

Luo Chen watched this scene, his eyes widening in surprise.

The Huan Yuan Cauldron, which had been lost and then recovered, had advanced to the level of a True Artifact as expected!

The numerous array restrictions and materials on its body had perfectly merged, indistinguishable from each other, connecting with the universe.

The powers it originally possessed had become even more formidable, and even the Soul-Linked Vital Flame, which had a spiritual connection, seemed to shy away from the Huan Yuan Cauldron, perhaps fearing its unique ability to capture Golden Core Primordial Spirits.

However, what surprised Luo Chen the most was the new divine ability to unleash the black lightning arcs!

He could clearly see that the nature of the black lightning arcs was identical to the final round of the Incarnation Tribulation, where a Thunder Beast had appeared.

Perhaps its power was slightly weaker, but this depended on the amount of essence energy he infused and the universe's spirit qi the Huan Yuan Cauldron could borrow.

If he unleashed it without restraint, the power of the black lightning arcs might even be enhanced!

"Tribulation Lightning Power?"

"A strange transformation..."

Although he was puzzled, Luo Chen still felt delighted.

He hadn't realized the importance of the Huan Yuan Cauldron until he couldn't activate it, and then he found it inconvenient in many ways.

Now that it was recovered and had undergone a new transformation, it was undoubtedly a good thing.

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen retrieved the Huan Yuan Cauldron and stored it within his Purple Mansion.

Then, Luo Chen rubbed his forehead, and a hint of fatigue could be seen on his face.

Suppressing his exhaustion, Luo Chen waved his hand, and a storage bag and a white belt woven with cloud patterns appeared.

Looking at these two storage treasures, Luo Chen fell silent.

The storage bag was Han Zhan's legacy, one of the inheritances he left behind.

It was covered in restrictions, making it quite difficult to open in a short time.

However, Luo Chen wasn't particularly interested in this storage bag.

The reason was that Han Zhan's true storage treasure had already been taken away by the Frost Empress of Demons in Cangwu Mountain. This storage bag was just one that Luo Chen had given to Han Zhan after they arrived in the North Sea.

He guessed that there might not be anything valuable inside, and the only things Luo Chen cared about were the Seven-Killing Sword and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which he had given to Han Zhan before.

As for the white belt, Luo Chen was somewhat interested in it.

It was the legacy of Flying Cloud Master! During the battle with Ming Zhao Heaven, Flying Cloud Master abandoned his physical body, and his Primordial Spirit escaped.

At that time, he only had time to take away the Sword Orb and the Golden Bell, but the storage belt on his body was left behind.

Luo Chen hadn't asked Han Zhan to help him break the restrictions on this item but had kept it specifically to open it slowly after he formed his Nascent Soul.

One could imagine that a well-known Primordial Spirit Immortal, who was not a solitary cultivator but the leader of the Flying Cloud Stream, a powerful faction, would surely possess considerable wealth.

In the days to come, apart from bitter cultivation to solidify his realm, Luo Chen would also have to spare some time to break the restrictions on this belt.

Luo Chen left the two storage treasures outside his body for easy access and research.

Only then did he finally heave a sigh of relief.

Both external and internal matters had been thoroughly sorted out.

In the end, only one thing remained.

Luo Chen slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness returned to the Mind Sea.

His main divine soul, weak and drifting in the golden wave ocean, was indeed far stronger than during the Golden Core stage, but it was far from Luo Chen's peak state after his cultivation reached perfection.

In the heart-pounding divine soul battle with Han Zhan, Luo Chen had indeed killed Han Zhan with the Great Perfection Dragon Slashing Technique, but the counterattack before Han Zhan's death had still left Luo Chen's divine soul severely injured!

Faintly, one could see fine cracks on the main divine soul, extending from the outside to the inside, deeply penetrating.

To repair such injuries would require at least a century of effort!

"Han Zhan..."

He had called the senior Han Zhan for decades, but they had only addressed each other as fellow cultivators once, and that was when they became enemies.

Sighing softly, Luo Chen no longer dwelled on the past.

Instead, he focused all his attention on the soul fragments of Han Zhan that he had absorbed.

On these fragments, Han Zhan's will had dissipated along with his death, leaving behind relatively pure soul energy.

If he could absorb it harmlessly, it might replenish Luo Chen's currently weak divine soul.

But what caught his attention the most were the memory fragments it contained.

The Soul-Shattering Divine Skill!

Luoyun Sect had three skills and two techniques: the Two Instruments Crimson Cloud Scripture, the Puppetry True Scripture, the Soul-Shattering Divine Skill, the Lock Pearl Curtain, and the Golden Core Technique.

It was precisely because of these five sets of systematic cultivation methods and secret techniques that Luoyun Sect could stand tall in the East Wasteland Jade Tripod Realm.

It had even cultivated a Primordial Spirit Immortal like Han Zhan, who reshaped the landscape of the realm.

Among these five sets of cultivation methods and secret techniques, the Soul-Shattering Divine Skill was undoubtedly the most mysterious, powerful, and even the most crucial set of skills! In the early years, Han Zhan was willing to teach Luo Chen the Golden Core Technique and some small tricks for refining puppets, but when it came to the Soul-Shattering Divine Skill, he kept it a closely guarded secret.

He once said that unless Luo Chen was willing to join Luoyun Sect as a disciple, he would have no chance of learning this set of skills.

Such caution was due to the wonder of this set of skills.

The Soul-Shattering Divine Skill had soul-refining effects!

Han Zhan's nine divided souls at his peak were also a result of this skill.

Luo Chen had coveted it for a long time, but he never imagined he would obtain it through such means.

He carefully absorbed Han Zhan's memory fragments, setting aside the complex memories and meticulously searching for content related to the Soul-Shattering Divine Skill.

After a long time, he managed to gather seven or eight-tenths of it.

In the cave mansion.

Luo Chen examined the bamboo slips he had copied, reading them carefully, his face occasionally showing confusion or enlightenment.

The Soul-Shattering Skill indeed had soul-refining effects.

However, these effects were not particularly outstanding, and they couldn't cause a qualitative transformation in one's soul.

It is impossible to reach the stage of Yin Soul transforming into Yang Divinity during the Primordial Spirit Stage.

The main effect of this technique is the change in the number of divine souls!

By splitting the divine soul and then gradually refining and strengthening the split soul until it is almost as powerful as the main soul, one can achieve this.

In this way, those who cultivate this technique will possess a divine soul foundation several times greater than their peers of the same cultivation level.

The exact multiple depends on how many divided souls one can refine.

Han Zhan is an extraordinary genius of the Luoyun Sect, especially talented in soul cultivation, which is why he was able to cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique to a minor accomplishment at such a young age, resulting in nine divided souls.

In other words, Han Zhan's soul foundation is absolutely nine times that of an ordinary Primordial Spirit Stage cultivator.

"No wonder Han Zhan was fearless against both the Proud Demon Emperor and the Sea Corner Heavenly Granny, even suppressing the latter. He could even briefly control the late Primordial Spirit Stage White Robe Daoist's puppet while being in the early Primordial Spirit Stage."

"With such a soul foundation, he is undoubtedly the best among early-stage cultivators!"

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

However, he soon showed a look of distress.

The Soul Splitting Technique he transcribed from those fragmented memories was incomplete!

It only recorded how to cultivate divided souls and deepen the connection between the main soul and the divided souls, but lacked the most fundamental aspects of splitting the main soul and accelerating the growth of the divided souls.

The former is the beginning of everything, while the latter is crucial to helping cultivators quickly pass through the weak period after splitting the main soul.

Luo Chen was determined to cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique.

There was no doubt or hesitation. He had experienced the benefits of a powerful soul foundation too many times.

Whether it was alchemy, artifact refinement, normal cultivation, or controlling treasures during battles, the stronger the soul, the better the results.

Luo Chen had also experienced the drawbacks of a weak soul foundation in the Devil-Slaying Land.

The Mermaid Emperor's alluring voice almost led him to succumb...

Thinking about the Devil-Slaying Land, Luo Chen suddenly remembered something.

In the Hundred Crows Ghost Forest, where he guarded the Wood Sky Origin, Han Zhan once taught him an extremely practical soul technique called the Opening the Bamboo Grove Technique.

This technique was difficult to cultivate.

However, with the Golden Core Technique and the Lock Pearl Curtain as a foundation, it became much simpler.

Luo Chen had used system achievement points to forcefully enter the Opening the Bamboo Grove Technique due to time constraints, and thus had never delved deeper into this art.

But he clearly remembered the preparatory process for the Opening the Bamboo Grove Technique.

First, split the consciousness using the Lock Pearl Curtain secret technique, then forcibly cut off a piece and place it on the second Golden Core.

This way, Luo Chen's body had his main soul and a thin strand of divided soul on the second Golden Core.

When encountering an enemy using soul illusions to deceive him, even if the main soul is affected, he can use the divided soul placed on the Golden Core Technique to stimulate the main soul, causing it to suddenly awaken and regain clarity.

Later, when he ventured deeper into the Wood Sky Origin and encountered the echoes of demons and devils in the deep pit of the Sympathetic Tree, Luo Chen relied on the Opening the Bamboo Grove Technique to free himself from the influence of the echoes.

Now, as he carefully thought about it, wasn't the combination of the Opening the Bamboo Grove Technique and the Lock Pearl Curtain a wonderful method for splitting the soul?

Or perhaps, these two techniques were originally part of the Soul Splitting Technique.

Swallowing his saliva, Luo Chen carefully transcribed the two secret techniques onto his handwritten copy.

Then, with a thought, he summoned the attribute panel.

[Detected incomplete technique: Soul Splitting Technique, Seventh Tier]

[Do you want to complete it?]

Luo Chen was stunned.

It was not surprising that the technique was incomplete, as he had only supplemented it with his imagination to split the main soul. But what about the tier?

If it corresponds to the cultivation level, a seventh-tier technique is beyond the Refining Void stage. What kind of realm is that? Body Fusion Stage? Great Vehicle Stage?

The Luoyun Sect is merely a Golden Core sect, and it only barely reached the upper Primordial Spirit sect level after Han Zhan's rise.

How could their core technique have such a high tier...

"Impossible!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath.

He recalled the rumors from the Jade Tripod Domain. The Luoyun Sect was not founded by a saintly land's abandoned disciple or an upper sect's powerful cultivator. Instead, it was established by a wandering cultivator who fortuitously obtained an ancient cultivator's inheritance.

This included the three techniques and two skills, which were not self-created but acquired by chance.

In other words, the Soul Splitting Technique was not originally created by the Luoyun Sect.

Moreover, Han Zhan once mentioned in their conversation that he could only cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique to a minor accomplishment due to the lack of a crucial auxiliary treasure.

This also proves that the Soul Splitting Technique did not originate from the Luoyun Sect but came from an even more formidable source.

At this thought, Luo Chen made up his mind.

Completing the technique was out of the question.

Even if he spent all his achievement points, he couldn't complete a seventh-tier technique.

However, just because it couldn't be completed didn't mean it couldn't be cultivated.

Han Zhan began cultivating this technique during the Golden Core Stage, no, even during the Foundation Establishment stage, indicating that even the incomplete version had its merits.

Moreover, his current state was quite suitable for cultivating this technique.

Luo Chen's main soul, even after absorbing Han Zhan's residual soul power, remained unhealed, with many fractures.

Han Zhan had caused these fractures with a soul technique called the Soul Snatching Needle.

This technique transformed his consciousness into an invisible soul needle, attacking the enemy's soul.

During normal combat, due to the barriers of the physical body and the Mind Sea, it could only momentarily stun the enemy, causing their Spirit Mind to become muddled for a brief moment.

At that time, because their souls collided directly, the Soul Snatching Needle's power was fully displayed, causing Luo Chen to suffer such a severe injury.

However, the cracks caused by these injuries now provided Luo Chen with a suitable condition for cultivating the Soul Splitting Technique.

"Healing these cracks will take too much time."

"I might as well take this opportunity to split the main soul along the cracks and cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique."

"There may be moments of weakness, but if it grows, the benefits will be immense!"

Luo Chen was not one to hesitate.

Even if he hesitated from time to time, it was only before making a decision.

Once he decided to do something, he would never hesitate, only charging forward without looking back!

During his Essence Energy Cultivation, he also wanted to befriend the Duan family of Xiao Huan Mountain, but after the Duan family's ancestor harmed his interests, he directly destroyed their mountain and exterminated their clan.

When he was at the Golden Core Stage, he was indecisive about going to the Devil Slaying Land. But once he made up his mind to go, he meticulously planned and prepared for everything. Even in the Devil Slaying Land, where dangers lurked everywhere, he was decisive and never cowardly.

Now that he had a powerful core cultivation method with a profound Divine Soul foundation, even if it was incomplete, he would not let this opportunity slip by.

After confirming that the slightly supplemented Soul-Shattering Divine Skill could be cultivated, Luo Chen began his cultivation after resting for three days.

The first step was to cut and divide the main soul! Luo Chen was extremely careful, using a non-orthodox method, combining the Lock Pearl Curtain with the Opening the Bamboo Grove Technique, and slowly cutting the main soul along the cracks on it.

It was more like tearing than cutting! The pain was something Luo Chen had never experienced in his life.

Even during his past Body Cultivation or the Nirvana of his physical body, he had never experienced such intense pain.

It was like using a dull knife to cut flesh, and he was doing it himself! Even with Luo Chen's exceptionally strong and resilient willpower, he couldn't help but cry out in pain during his first attempt.

This sound, without the restriction of a soundproofing array, spread out and reached the ears of others, sounding extremely terrifying.

It was like the howl of some kind of wild beast! This howl lasted for more than half a year!

During this time, Tianxuan and Black King once wanted to enter the Earth Abyss, but the only response they received was a curt "Get out!" The ferocity and pain could be felt just by listening, causing one's body to shiver.

...

Time slowly passed.

It had been ten years since Luo Chen secluded himself to consolidate his cultivation realm, without anyone noticing.

The once devastated Dragon Abyss Island had regained its vitality, and there were no more signs of destruction.

One could even say that the spiritual energy on the island far exceeded what it was before Luo Chen's tribulation.

The concentration of third-tier spiritual energy was everywhere, and in several feng shui treasure spots, there was even a fourth-tier concentration of spiritual energy.

Countless rare and exotic flowers and grasses sprouted from the ground, and in just ten short years, Dragon Abyss Island had become a beautiful island with stunning scenery.

Such a peculiar change was truly astonishing.

Even Black King, who cherished his freedom in the sea, came to the island to cultivate.

On this day, Tianxuan stood by a pool of blue water, curiously watching as the middle-aged man, Sang Jing He, worked diligently.

He threw pieces of cut demonic beast flesh into the pool.

From time to time, he also poured a few drops of green liquid into it.

These substances combined to turn the liquid in the pool into a strange deep blue color.

"Will it really work?" Tianxuan couldn't help but ask.

Sang Jing He said as he threw Spirit Stones into the pool, "It should work. This is just my speculation after borrowing the Blood Pool method used by the True Monarch. That Demon-Devil Sympathetic Tree is truly bizarre; neither various Spirit Soils nor our Earth Mulberry Sect's ripening spiritual liquid has any effect on it. So, I changed my approach..."

At this point, he turned and smiled, "The True Monarch values me so much that he even bestowed upon me the Condensing Liquid Pill for condensing the Golden Core. I must repay him. He no longer needs the Purple Monkey Flower, the Divine Iris was destroyed by the Thunderbolt Tribulation, and the Dragon Snot Grass grows naturally, requiring no special care. If I can research the cultivation method for the Demon-Devil Sympathetic Tree, the True Monarch will surely be delighted when he comes out of seclusion."

Tianxuan thought to herself, "He definitely will!"

The master highly valued that small tree, and even before the Primordial Spirit Stage, he had taken it out several times for Sang Jing He to study. If it could truly bear fruit, the master would surely be overjoyed.

Just as the two were talking, they heard a dragon's roar.

It was Black King! "What's wrong with him?"

Tianxuan turned her head in confusion, towards a mountain gorge that had only formed about ten years ago.

The next moment, she saw Black King shaking his head and tail, stretching his body, and soaring out of the gorge.

He circled in the air, as if waiting for something.

Tianxuan was filled with curiosity.

Until a vigorous aura spread from the depths of the Earth Abyss.

Upon sensing this aura, Tianxuan covered her mouth, her face filled with disbelief.

Could it be this fast?

In just ten years, had the master completely consolidated the Primordial Spirit Stage?

As she was shocked, the vigorous aura gradually grew, stirring the wind and gathering the clouds, even the gentle sunlight seemed to gather around.

In the dazzling golden light, the spiritual energy was ethereal, and a massive ethereal shadow stretched across the sky above Dragon Abyss Island.

The shadow gradually solidified, transforming into a white tender infant, playing on top of the White Robe Daoist's head.

Perhaps he had played enough, for soon after, he immersed himself in the crown of his head and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Black King, who had already landed on the ground, called out joyfully, "Congratulations, Master! The Primordial Spirit is stable, and the Immortal Path is achieved!"

Sang Jing He had already knelt on the ground, shouting, "Congratulations, True Monarch! Congratulations, True Monarch!"

Tianxuan bowed gracefully and half-knelt on the ground, "Congratulations, Master! The Immortal Path is achieved, and longevity is within reach!"

In the sky, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his cultivation realm was incredibly solid.

With a wave of his hand, a strand of spiritual energy was drawn from the heavens and earth.

With a thought, the power of the Primordial Spirit passed through the Purple Mansion, and instantly, an invisible pressure enveloped Dragon Abyss Island.

Under this pressure, both humans and demons were fearful, and all plants and trees bowed. Even the wind and clouds seemed to freeze in the air.

In this moment, Luo Chen's thoughts became clear, and he roared towards the sky, venting all his pent-up emotions.

Thus:

First, I heard of Essence Energy Cultivation and Consuming Golden Liquid, then the path to heaven and entering submersion.

Obtaining the lotus platform to solidify the life foundation, the day soul in the east, and the moon aura in the west.

After sleeping in Dragon Abyss for decades, countless cups of flowing radiance were drunk.

Within, the Elixir of Longevity was refined, and after taking it, one would be equal to the heavens and earth.
