King of Creation-Chapter 1607 - 1592: Unusual Movement of the Innate Divine Soul
In the Demon Soul Hall, Ye Zhen, sitting cross-legged there, had his brow gently trembling, with his clothes soaked large around the front and back, sweat dripping like water drops.
If one were to look at the place inside the Demon Soul Hall where the Demon Spirit Phantoms were detained, it would be discovered that the 4.6 million Demon Spirit Phantoms that filled the entire hall when Ye Zhen first arrived, were now reduced to just a few scattered thousands.
These few thousand were brought in today by the Demon Soul Army under Ye Zhen’s command.
However, after refining such a massive amount of Demon Spirit Phantoms, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Aura hadn’t improved in the slightest until now.
The reason is simple: the pure Divine Soul Power formed from refining those 4.6 million Demon Spirit Phantoms wasn’t immediately absorbed by Ye Zhen but was all temporarily stored in the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
At this moment, inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl, a fist-sized cluster of the Four-colored Innate Soul Light was slowly changing shape as if subjected to immense pressure.
This fist-sized cluster of Four-colored Innate Soul Light was the result of the immense Divine Soul Power Ye Zhen obtained by refining those 4.6 million Demon Spirit Phantoms and then compressing it through the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Why didn’t Ye Zhen directly absorb the pure Divine Soul Power from refining the Demon Spirit Phantoms to enhance his own Divine Soul, but instead accumulated and compressed it?
The reason has to do with the unexpected enhancement of Ye Zhen’s innate Soul Light from three colors to four colors in those past years.
When Ye Zhen was on the True Profound Continent years ago, he unexpectedly obtained the Black Soul Spirit Fruit refined by the Island Lord of Black Fiend Island. When absorbing the Black Soul Spirit Fruit, he coincidentally used the Mirage Dragon Pearl to compress the Divine Soul Power within, forming the Four-colored Innate Soul Light.
This elevated Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power to the level of the Four-colored Innate Soul Light.
Since that event, Ye Zhen had always wondered if the Mirage Dragon Pearl could compress massive amounts of Divine Soul Power into Four-colored Innate Soul Light.
Then, could it be possible to compress massive amounts of Four-colored Innate Soul Light into Five-colored Innate Soul Light?
If Ye Zhen’s divine soul cultivation could advance to Five-colored Innate Soul Light, his power would soar once again.
For instance, take Ling Qianbi; with her late-stage Dark Palace Realm cultivation, she wasn’t initially a threat to the Blue-scaled Dragon King at the half-step Dao Realm.
Yet her Five-colored Innate Soul Light sneak attack shocked the Blue-scaled Dragon King’s Divine Soul, giving Mountain God Yi Xun and Ye Zhen an unparalleled opportunity to strike.
The power of the Five-colored Innate Soul Light is evident.
Moreover, martial artists with Four-colored Innate Soul Light have an inherent superiority when facing those with Three-colored Innate Soul Light, regardless of cultivation level, due to the Divine Soul’s inherent quality.
Similarly, Five-colored Innate Soul Light possesses an intrinsic advantage over Four-colored Innate Soul Light martial artists.
Just like the past battle at the Five Immortals Arena between Ye Zhen and Ling Qianbi, where Ye Zhen was forced into a sorry state by Ling Qianbi’s Five-colored Innate Soul Light, ultimately resorting to using Thunder Light to self-harm his Divine Soul to barely withstand the Five-colored Innate Soul Light.
Ye Zhen’s simple plan was to elevate his Divine Soul quality to the Five-colored Innate Soul Light, so that when facing martial artists with Five-colored Innate Soul Light, he would no longer be so passive.
However, the only method Ye Zhen knew or could find to upgrade to Five-colored Innate Soul Light was through the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Initially, Ye Zhen thought it might be connected to the Black Soul Spirit Fruit refined by the Island Lord of Black Fiend Island and intended to explore further.
But before Ye Zhen could investigate, the unfortunate guy perished while attempting to comprehend the Heavenly Dao upon entering the Ancient Demon God Hall during its sixty-year manifestation.
Consequently, Ye Zhen lost interest.
On returning to the Ancient Demon God Hall, noticing those 4.6 million Demon Spirit Phantoms, Ye Zhen suddenly conceived this idea.
The immense Divine Soul Power refined from such a multitude of Demon Spirit Phantoms would be abundant. Perhaps, with the refining and compression capacity of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, it could produce Five-colored Innate Soul Light?
A month ago, when Ye Zhen began refining Demon Spirit Phantoms, he stored all the pure Divine Soul Power obtained from the refining process into the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Then utilized the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s power to start refining and compressing. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Initially, it was smooth, swiftly refining and compressing the acquired Divine Soul Power into Four-colored Innate Soul Light.
The Four-colored Innate Soul Light refined and compressed by Ye Zhen was as large as a small room.
Through Ye Zhen’s continuous compression and refined accumulation over the month, the vast volume of Four-colored Innate Soul Light shrunk more than tenfold.
Currently compressed to the size of a human head has reached its limit.
Ye Zhen had to invest more Divine Soul Power to stimulate the Mirage Dragon Pearl, thus recalling ninety-nine percent of the divine sense from the Demon Marshal’s Avatar.
Yet, to Ye Zhen’s disappointment, even after investing all his power and fully exerting the Mirage Dragon Pearl, he still couldn’t compress the Four-colored Soul Pearl of human-head size any further.
As for the Five-colored Innate Soul Light Ye Zhen hoped for, it hadn’t appeared at all.
"Achou, is there a way to enhance the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s power again?" Dissatisfied at not achieving the desired outcome, Ye Zhen felt somewhat disappointed.
The apparently weak Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou slowly shook his head, "My Lord Ye, it’s impossible, even I exerted all my strength to help you in refining compression.
Currently, the Mirage Dragon’s refining and compression capability is at its limit, unless...."
"Unless what?" Ye Zhen pursued the question.
"Unless you unlock more of the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s seal. Frankly speaking, the seals unlocked now are merely on the outermost level, so the power exerted when you activate the Mirage Dragon Pearl hasn’t reached even half of its potential," stated the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou.
Ye Zhen understood Achou was sincere and rational.
However, the issue was that the layers of seals on the Mirage Dragon Pearl were increasingly formidable; subsequent layers of seals were a hundred times stronger than the previous ones.
Ye Zhen estimated that unlocking the seals of the Mirage Dragon Pearl would require millions of strikes with the current power of Evil Punishing Divine Thunder to undo them.
The consumption would be unimaginably vast; thus, unlocking the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s seals required persistent grinding over time.
"Then what about the Five-colored Innate Soul Light?" queried Ye Zhen, "Can the Mirage Dragon Pearl genuinely refine it through compression?"
"I’m not sure about that, but since it once refined and compressed the Four-colored Innate Soul Light, Five-colored should be possible; however, under the current seal state of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, it likely isn’t feasible," articulated the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou.
"Seems like, in the short term, I will not possess the Five-colored Innate Soul Light..." Having compressed that cluster of Five-colored Innate Soul Light, Ye Zhen realized there was no hope of advancing to Five-colored Innate Soul Light for now.
At the next instant, Ye Zhen relaxed his divine sense, slightly guiding under which the head-sized cluster of compressed Four-colored Innate Soul Light poured into Ye Zhen’s Mansion like finding an outlet.
Ye Zhen, whose Divine Soul had already reached the Innate Soul Light Ninth Stage, greedily absorbed this extremely refined Four-colored Innate Soul Light.
It was akin to a wanderer in the desert finally drinking water, an indescribable comfort spreading instantaneously throughout Ye Zhen’s body.
Like a sponge thrown into water, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power was fully saturated within a few breaths, reaching the peak of the Innate Soul Light Ninth Stage.
This was the pinnacle of Innate Soul Light cultivation, yet the vast amount of Four-colored Innate Soul Light continued to gush into Ye Zhen’s Mansion.
Beginning to compress Ye Zhen’s spirit palace just as Ye Zhen previously compressed the Four-colored Innate Soul Light, at this point, the unceasing influx of Four-colored Innate Soul Light began compressing Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power.
However, since Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power had peaked at Ninth Stage, it couldn’t be enhanced any further.
Ye Zhen felt that if this continued, his spirit palace might be crushed by the Divine Soul Power.
With a swift mental command, Ye Zhen severed the connection with the Mirage Dragon Pearl, yet just at that instant, the innate divine soul at the core of Ye Zhen’s Mansion suddenly moved!
