TL: Etude
Before long, Ye Tian encountered another wolf-like soul creature. Its soul strength was comparable to the Great God level, much stronger than the previous black panther.
When this wolf attacked, Ye Tian killed it in one move.
After all, Ye Tian’s soul strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Great God. He had crossed into the God level as a Supreme Child of the Universe. Even when he was at the Emperor level, his soul strength was already comparable to the God level. After becoming a Great God, his soul strength naturally skyrocketed, far exceeding that of ordinary Great Gods.
However, after killing this wolf-like soul creature, Ye Tian was surprised to find a green bead dropped from it.
He picked up the green bead and examined it closely.
“What a dense soul aura, and extremely pure, without any mixed soul aura from other creatures!” Ye Tian said.
At this moment, he remembered Kunwu Supreme’s words.
Kunwu Supreme had mentioned that killing some soul creatures in the Ghost Realm could strengthen one’s soul.
“This green bead should be able to strengthen my soul. Let’s try absorbing it!”Immediately, Ye Tian held the bead and attempted to absorb and refine it.
Whoosh! Threads of soul energy flowed into Ye Tian’s celestial soul, gradually strengthening it.
After about an hour, Ye Tian completely exhausted the soul energy of the green bead.
“My celestial soul only strengthened a little bit. Clearly, the quality of this green bead is average, and there was only one, so the effect is minimal!” Ye Tian thought.
However, if he obtained a large number of green beads, wouldn’t it be possible to further enhance the strength of his celestial soul?
In the outside world, strengthening one’s celestial soul came at a great cost. Here, it seemed that as long as he killed soul creatures above the God level, he could obtain beads that would enhance his celestial soul strength.
In the following days, Ye Tian searched everywhere for soul creatures above the God level, killed them, and then absorbed the green beads to enhance his soul strength.
A single bead or two had little effect, but as the number increased, the effect became quite noticeable.
Of course, these green beads that could enhance soul strength were just a minor gain for Ye Tian. If this were the only gain, it wouldn’t have been worth coming here.
One day, Ye Tian encountered a purple giant serpent. The soul aura of this serpent far exceeded any soul creature he had encountered before.
If the soul aura of an ordinary God level soul creature was considered 1, then the soul aura of this serpent definitely reached a level of 100, not much weaker than Ye Tian.
This was the first time Ye Tian had encountered such a soul creature.
Species: Purple Soul Python
Soul Defense Talent: Pseudo-Mystic Soul Defense
Soul Chain Talent: Top-tier
Soul Spear Talent: Top-tier
Soul Imprisonment Talent: Top-tier
“Pseudo-Mystic level soul defense talent!!!” Ye Tian was stunned.
He also had a soul defense talent, a top-tier one, but he thought that after reaching the top tier, it couldn’t be enhanced further. However, he always felt it could be improved.
Yet he had never been able to comprehend soul mysticism, as if the mysticism of the soul was imprisoned by the universe, even harder to comprehend than time and space.
Thus, he never thought that soul talents could be beyond the top tier.
But now, he realized he was wrong.
Soul talents indeed had levels beyond the top tier. After all, the soul was too mysterious to be enhanced only up to the top tier.
However, soul talents were exceptionally special, making them very difficult to enhance further.
But now, Ye Tian encountered a Purple Soul Python with a Pseudo-Mystic level soul defense talent, which was truly fortunate for him.
However, this was something only Ye Tian could recognize. Others couldn’t see that this soul creature had a Pseudo-Mystic level soul defense talent, nor could they copy it. But Ye Tian could copy it, allowing him to also possess a Pseudo-Mystic level soul defense talent.
“Copy Pseudo-Mystic level soul defense talent!”
With a thought, the replication succeeded! At this moment, the Purple Soul Python also noticed Ye Tian and charged at him.
Then, chains of souls flew out from the Purple Soul Python, seemingly aiming to lock Ye Tian.
Ye Tian used his soul spear talent, creating a soul spear. Holding the soul spear, he performed a spear technique. Although he couldn’t fully unleash the power of the technique, he could still maximize the effect of the soul spear.
Clang! Clang! The soul chains were struck away by Ye Tian.
Ye Tian also used his speed talent. Although, without a physical body, even with the speed talent’s enhancement, it was hard to achieve great effects.
But Ye Tian still managed to gain the upper hand, suppressing the Purple Soul Python.
Suddenly, Ye Tian activated his time-space talent, using the power of time to put the Purple Soul Python into a sluggish state.
Immediately, Ye Tian thrust his spear at the serpent’s eye, but the Purple Soul Python, with its Pseudo-Mystic level soul defense talent, wasn’t pierced by the spear, though it was slightly injured.
“Without a physical body, my combat strength is reduced by countless times. Relying only on the soul body to fight is too disadvantageous in the Ghost Realm!” Ye Tian thought.
Of course.
Though his strength had been weakened countless times, the soul creatures here could only use their soul power without any other abilities.
Therefore, Ye Tian could still deal with these soul creatures, though he couldn’t be as overwhelming as usual.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Ye Tian continued to fight the Purple Soul Python. Although he could suppress it, killing it proved to be quite challenging.
The defense of the Purple Soul Python was too high, making it difficult for Ye Tian to kill it.
“I wonder if I can harness the power of the Chaos Dao,” Ye Tian pondered.
With a thought, he tried to summon the power of the Chaos Dao.
Boom! The power of the Chaos Dao descended, enveloping Ye Tian’s soul spear, which then fiercely stabbed the Purple Soul Python.
With a puff, the Purple Soul Python was pierced by Ye Tian’s spear, severely injuring it.
After a few more spear attacks, the Purple Soul Python finally fell under Ye Tian’s soul spear.
“It worked! It turns out that the power of the Chaos Dao can be used in the Ghost Realm. It makes sense since the power of the Dao transcends everything and can even be utilized within chaos itself. This place can weaken the power of the laws, but it’s difficult to weaken the power of the Chaos Dao!” Ye Tian thought.
From the current situation, besides soul power, soul talents, and the power of the Chaos Dao, most other methods were severely restricted. Even other laws could not exert their full effects! After killing the Purple Soul Python, a large green bead was left behind where it had dissipated.
Ye Tian examined the green bead. Its energy was at least several dozen times that of the other beads, and its quality far surpassed them.
“This bead should enhance my celestial soul strength!” he immediately began to absorb and refine the large bead, and a vast amount of soul energy poured into Ye Tian’s celestial soul, continuously tempering it.
A few days later, Ye Tian had fully absorbed the bead’s energy, and his celestial soul strength had unusually increased by ten percent.
“What a powerful effect! If I had a large number of these green beads, my celestial soul strength could quickly rise!” Ye Tian exclaimed with excitement.
With his celestial soul strength enhanced, Ye Tian’s combat power naturally increased as well.
“Merge the Pseudo-Mystic level soul defense talent!” Ye Tian began the fusion process.
Once he merged with the Pseudo-Mystic level soul defense talent, his strength would significantly increase. With his soul defense talent, he would be able to withstand the attacks of other soul creatures.
After all, in the Ghost Realm, soul defense artifacts couldn’t be brought in, so he could only rely on his soul defense talent and his own soul strength to resist damage.
In the following days, Ye Tian continued to hunt soul creatures, absorbing green beads and strengthening his soul power, which naturally increased his overall strength.
But one day, Ye Tian discovered a large stone structure, which piqued his curiosity.
It was the first time he had seen a building in the Ghost Realm. It looked like a temple, with two humanoid warrior statues holding spears standing guard at the entrance.
Ye Tian noticed that these stones were unusual; they were soul stones composed of soul power, rather than ordinary stones.
In fact, everything in the Ghost Realm was composed of soul power, so it wasn’t uncommon to find stones made of soul power.
“Could there be a legacy inside this temple?” Ye Tian speculated.
The thought of a legacy piqued Ye Tian’s interest, and he prepared to enter.
Suddenly, the two statues at the temple entrance transformed into humanoid warriors.
“Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Nether King’s Temple!” one of the warriors said coldly.
“Nether King’s Temple?” Ye Tian looked at the large yet dilapidated temple, finding it hard to associate it with something called a temple.
Regardless, these two warriors were extraordinary, even stronger than the Purple Soul Python Ye Tian had encountered.
“I wonder if they have talents,” Ye Tian activated his copy talent to check the two warriors.
With a swish, two talent screens appeared before Ye Tian, revealing the talents of the two warriors.
What he saw left Ye Tian astonished.
