Absorbing Astral Souls! 2-star Mortal Soul!
Although Qiao Zidan wanted to leave this forest, he had not lost his mind yet. He understood that he had to recover to a certain extent before he could absorb the astral soul before him.
At this moment, he could no longer care about the possible danger. He sat there and panted heavily, forcing himself to recover a little. Then, he would cultivate to recover his soul energy.
After recovering a little of her Soul Qi, Qiao Zidan turned to look at the Azure Serpent's corpse. At this moment, a dense dark green light had already condensed above the Azure Snake's corpse, and it was the best time to absorb it. Looking at it, Qiao Zidan's relaxed expression tensed up again. He would always remember it. How dangerous was this forest? A thousand-year demonic beast was already so difficult to deal with. If a ten-thousand-year demonic beast came, wouldn't it be equivalent to death?
Qiao Zidan walked to the side of the Man-Faced Demon Spider and sat down. Raising her right hand, the red light from her first soul appeared in her palm. Taking a deep breath, Qiao Zidan summoned the Astral Soul of the Azure Sky Snake.
The dark purple light seemed to have finally found an opening to vent after waiting for a long time. As soon as he sensed Qiao Zidan's soul, it immediately swarmed towards Qiao Zidan like a river flowing into the sea.
The dense purple light instantly enveloped Qiao Zidan's body. The black-robed man could not help but be secretly surprised. What a powerful Soul Qi fluctuation. How many years of cultivation did this Azure Snake have?
Qiao Zidan, who was the person involved, could feel it even more clearly. He only felt a huge wave of heat suddenly surge into his body. Before he could react, the heat wave had already started to burn his body like a scorching flame.
The viciousness of the Azure Sky Snake determined the ruthlessness of the Astral Soul it formed. The moment the powerful aura entered Qiao Zidan's body, it began to forcefully transform his body.
Even though the energy contained within the Astral Soul did not have a consciousness, it was still not something that Qiao Zidan could control with her consciousness.
Qiao Zidan felt as if his body was about to explode under the powerful Soul Qi fluctuation. The intense pain caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Actually, the Astral Soul of this Azure Sky Snake was indeed extremely tyrannical. It wasn't easy to absorb it. Right now, Qiao Zidan could only rely on herself. This was because absorbing astral souls couldn't rely on any external force. Otherwise, it would only cause the opposite effect.
Indeed, the harder it was to absorb an Astral Soul, the greater the effect it would bring. After all, it had a huge amount of energy, so the chances of it producing a skill would naturally increase.
On a nearby tree, the black-robed man's gaze became rather solemn. Although Qiao Zidan, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the many trees, could no longer be seen, he could still see that Qiao Zidan was enveloped by a layer of faint red fog from the direction she was emitting.
The red color in the mist was not the glow of Soul Qi, nor was it the glow of energy. It was Qiao Zidan's blood.
Not long ago, as the Soul Qi on her body fluctuated violently, a thin layer of blood began to seep out of Qiao Zidan's skin. As the Soul Qi evaporated into the air, it turned into this faint red mist.
Qiao Zidan's brows were tightly knitted together. Her lips were tightly pursed, and her body was constantly spasming. In addition to the beads of blood under his skin, one could imagine how intense the pain he was suffering now was.
From time to time, the sound of bones cracking could be heard in the fog. Every time she absorbed the Astral Soul, it would give people a soul-stirring feeling. However, the third Astral Soul that should have appeared along with the absorption didn't appear at all. This proved that Qiao Zidan hadn't completely absorbed the Heavenly Azure Serpent Astral Soul.
As Qiao Zidan hadn't absorbed any Astral Souls when he was at the final stage of the 9-dan Great Scholar Soul Stage, the age of his first Astral Soul was divided into two. His first Astral Soul was 152 years old, and his second Astral Soul was 317 years old. [2nd Astral Soul: No Skill, Bone Marrow Strengthening]
The black-robed man frowned." If this continues, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. However, he could not interrupt him now. Otherwise, the outcome would be even more serious. Now, he could only rely on his willpower. The energy within this astral soul should be something that he could absorb. It was just that his physical condition was not the best. Furthermore, the energy of the Azure Serpent Astral Soul was too violent, which was why such a situation had occurred. Hopefully, he could get through this. Otherwise…"
Only he knew the pain Qiao Zidan was currently enduring. He felt as if his entire body was being cut by countless sharp blades, and his internal organs were hurting everywhere. The tyrannical energy was constantly tearing at his body, causing him to be in extreme pain.
In fact, the number of fire green pythons was quite small. Even if it was a spirit cultivator with extremely rich experience in ordinary demon beasts. It was also very difficult to determine its true cultivation level. A soul cultivator's 3rd Astral Soul could absorb up to 2,300 years worth of soul energy, and only after reaching the 4th Astral Soul would they be able to absorb around 6,700 years worth of soul energy. The maximum absorption time for the fifth Astral Soul was around 23,000 years, while the maximum absorption time for the sixth Astral Soul was 35,100 years. The seventh astral soul would be between 40,000 to 50,000 years old, depending on the attribute of the soul user. Only after reaching the eighth Astral Soul would one be able to absorb the Astral Souls of demonic beasts that were over 50,000 years old. It depended on the type of astral soul. Only after reaching the 9th Astral Soul would one be able to absorb astral souls that were over 80,000 years old. Only after reaching the 10th Astral Soul would one have the possibility to absorb a 100,000-year Astral Soul. Naturally, among the known soul practitioners, there was no one who could absorb a 100,000-year demonic beast as their last Astral Soul.
Qiao Zidan had killed this Azure Snake. His true cultivation base had already exceeded 3,000 years. Although it had just surpassed that, it had already surpassed the limit of a soul cultivator's 3rd Astral Soul. This was also the reason why the ancient texts said that the Azure Serpent of the Fire Green Python race was of great help to Qiao Zidan's Red Flame, but it was an important reason why people with Red Flame were not allowed to search for this kind of Astral Soul.
During the battle, Qiao Zidan had made a simple estimate of the Azure Skysnake's strength, but he had overlooked one point. The Azure Snake was obviously injured by someone. A 3,000-year-old Azure Sky Snake that belonged to the most evil Fire Green Python Clan was actually injured by someone. One could imagine how powerful this person was!
Qiao Zidan's situation was different from most Spirit Practitioners because he had twin souls. In addition, he cultivated the Evil Soul Qi recorded in the Evil Soul Technique. Their bodies were much tougher than ordinary people. Logically speaking, if it was an ordinary demonic beast, it shouldn't be a problem for his 3rd Astral Soul to absorb a 2,000-year-old demonic beast. After all, he had the advantage of his body.
However, the Azure Sky Snake was no ordinary demonic beast. Its violent nature and tyrannical nature caused its Astral Souls to become extremely tyrannical. In addition, Qiao Zidan was heavily injured, and she was instantly caught in a huge crisis.
If one could calculate Qiao Zidan's situation. Then, there could only be one final outcome for him, his body was unable to withstand the Man Faced Demon Spider's energy assault, and he exploded to death. After all, that energy had already surpassed the range he could absorb.
However, some things could not be calculated, such as willpower and faith.
When a person's willpower was firm to a certain extent, or when they had an extremely persistent belief, miracles would often appear.
At this moment, although Qiao Zidan was enduring an incomparable pain, deep in his heart, there was an extremely persistent belief. He had to absorb the astral souls as soon as possible to recover his soul energy and leave this 'ghost' forest where birds don't even shit.
With this belief, he withstood wave after wave of pain. Even though his body was already bleeding, he was still resisting the tyrannical energy of the Azure Serpent Astral Soul.
Absorbing astral souls beyond the limit would undoubtedly bring about a huge crisis. However, once he succeeded, the benefits would be equally huge.
The tyrannical energy undulations continued to rise, and the blood mist around Qiao Zidan's body became more and more obvious. Within the blood mist. There was even a faint fishy smell seeping out. He didn't know if it was the impurities in Qiao Zidan's body or the venom of the Azure Sky Snake.
If the energy of the Azure Sky Snake Astral Soul had consciousness, it would definitely discover that its violent energy seemed to be about to break through Qiao Zidan's body every time. However, his body would always use its strong tenacity to block the violent energy at the last moment.
And during each block, the energy contained within the Azure Skysnake Astral Soul was also being absorbed by Qiao Zidan's body bit by bit. Under this constant increase and decrease, this violent energy was also continuously weakening.
Qiao Zidan was currently facing the most crucial problem of how to fuse the absorbed Astral Soul energy with her body and the Evil Soul Art, as well as the Soul Red Flame.
Even though the red flame was weak, it did not reject external forces. However, the energy of the Azure Heavenly Snake Astral Soul was too tyrannical, to the point that even the red flames were somewhat unwilling to absorb it. It was this process of mutual conflict that brought Qiao Zidan the greatest pain.
