Chapter 115: Foundation Perfected, Yin-Yang Harmony Dual Soul Cores Formed!
Six months later.
After consuming countless resources, occasionally taking pills that strengthened the body, and undergoing medicinal baths every day to temper his physique—
Yun Yuan could now be described as a humanoid soul beast. In terms of physical strength alone, he believed there was no soul master on the Douluo Continent who could compare to him.
After all, the resources Yun Yuan consumed in a single day were worth more than ten million gold soul coins.
Under such terrifying resource investment, coupled with Yun Yuan continuously breaking through the limits of his own body, he had finally achieved such a monstrous physique.
Once his body became sufficiently powerful, Yun Yuan focused the rest of his efforts on the foundations of Yin-Yang origins and spiritual power.
A year later.
Inside Yun Yuan's palace, as he slowly opened his eyes, the surrounding space trembled continuously.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the depths of Yun Yuan's pupils were no longer black but an incomparably profound gray.
That was the original color after spatial collapse, the final silence before all things returned to annihilation.
The gray-black airflow surrounding Yun Yuan was both faint and calm, yet it carried a pressure capable of silencing the entire world.
"The power of spatial annihilation... I've finally comprehended it, and I can already integrate this Yin attribute power into my soul power."
Regarding his second soul core, Yun Yuan planned to condense the Qi soul core among the original three: essence, Qi, and spirit soul cores he had envisioned.
Thus, he integrated the Yin-attributed spatial annihilation power into his soul power, while wrapping his Yang-attributed spear dao will around his first "spiritual" soul core, thereby forming Yin-Yang harmony.
This was Yun Yuan's unique path of Yin-Yang harmony.
Afterward, Yun Yuan closed his eyes once more and began cultivating his spiritual power.
Over the past two years, aside from using heavenly and earthly spiritual treasures for cultivation, Yun Yuan had also developed meditation, visualization, and compression methods that could autonomously increase spiritual power.
One year ago, he had already reached the Spirit Domain Realm. After another year of spiritual cultivation, Yun Yuan felt that his spiritual power had already reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Domain Realm, a demigod-level spiritual power.
Perhaps it would not be long before he crossed that final step and officially began condensing Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores.
"I already possess everything required to condense Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores. It's time."
Over the two and a half years, Yun Yuan had not only completed his opposing Yin-Yang origin foundations and raised his physique to the level of a humanoid soul beast, but his spiritual power had also reached the demigod level.
Yun Yuan estimated that his current strength was perhaps already comparable to that of newly entered demigod experts.
But this alone was still not enough. He had to become even stronger and join forces with experts of the same level before he could hunt that terrifying soul beast and obtain his eighth soul ring.
With that thought in mind, Yun Yuan left his palace and headed toward Douluo Hall, where Qian Daoliu resided.
When condensing Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores, having a powerful expert capable of wielding angel divine power protecting him nearby could increase the success rate by another ten percent.
Douluo Hall.
"Grandmaster, after two and a half years, I now have a certain level of confidence in condensing Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores. I ask that you accompany me to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and condense them there. The success rate will be somewhat higher."
Yun Yuan arrived deep within Douluo Hall and explained the matter of condensing Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores to Qian Daoliu.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a blessed land filled with dense heaven and earth energy, capable of supplying the enormous soul power needed during soul core condensation.
Aside from that, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was enveloped by a grand Yin-Yang field, which could also help Yun Yuan alleviate the clash between polarities and stabilize the balance between the two soul cores.
These were all preparations Yun Yuan had made for condensing Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores. After all, he was the first soul master in the history of the soul master world to attempt this. He had to be cautious, beyond cautious.
"Mhm, Xiao Yuan. Shortly, I shall accompany you to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, but his expression was more solemn than ever before. It was precisely because he understood the difficulty of condensing Yin-Yang harmony dual soul cores that he dared not relax in the slightest.
For the condensation of a second soul core, the Co-Position Resonance Method and the Yin-Yang Harmony Method existed. The Yin-Yang Harmony Method was several times, perhaps even more than ten times, more difficult than the Co-Position Resonance Method. However, once successfully condensed, the increase in combat power was also several times greater.
After a while, two streams of light streaked across the sky above Spirit City. They were Qian Daoliu and Yun Yuan heading toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
In merely a few hours, the two arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As a Limit Douluo with the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, Qian Daoliu's flying speed was unimaginably fast.
As for Yun Yuan, although he lacked flight abilities, with his external soul bone Wind Thunder Wings and soul bone skill Wind Thunder Movement, his speed did not fall far behind Qian Daoliu.
After arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yun Yuan first adjusted his condition to its peak state before sitting cross-legged and beginning the condensation of his Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores.
Beside him, Qian Daoliu focused all his attention on Yun Yuan, not daring to show the slightest carelessness.
The process of condensing Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores consisted of five steps in total.
The first step: extracting soul power and opening the middle Dantian.
Within Yun Yuan's upper dantian, his first "spiritual" soul core wrapped in Yang-attributed spear dao will had already stabilized. Yun Yuan forcibly extracted seventy percent of his soul power, transferring it from the upper dantian between his brows to the middle dantian at his chest.
This process caused his meridians to swell to the point of nearly splitting apart. Fortunately, over the past two and a half years, Yun Yuan had already tempered his body to the level of a humanoid soul beast.
His meridians were fully capable of enduring this soul power impact, causing Yun Yuan only slight pain.
The second step: suppressing the core and restraining the instinct of the first soul core.
Yun Yuan's first soul core, wrapped in Yang-attributed power, naturally repelled external Yin soul power. This caused the first soul core to rebound frantically, attempting to pull back all its soul power and even violently self-destruct.
Faced with this, Yun Yuan's demi-god-level spiritual power directly sealed the first soul core, weakening its instinctive pulling force and forcibly locking down the opposing repulsive force.
The third step: compressing soul power and condensing the embryonic form of the second soul core.
Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yun Yuan frantically absorbed the soul power within, converting it into Yin-attributed spatial annihilation soul power before compressing it into the middle dantian at his chest.
At this moment, the Yin-Yang origins clashed across space. Yun Yuan slightly frowned as the pain affecting both body and spirit intensified.
As time passed, Yun Yuan endured the process, and the embryonic form of the second soul core was finally born.
The fourth step: the Yin-Yang tribulation.
This was also the most crucial step. When the Yin soul core took shape, the spiritual soul core, wrapped in Yang-attributed power, would unleash its full force against it. The tribulation of origin collision descended.
After reaching this stage, Yun Yuan circulated his demi-god-level spiritual power, forming a spiritual barrier that blocked the spiritual shock transmitted by the spiritual soul core.
During this process, Yun Yuan felt his entire body being torn apart. Even his divine soul trembled violently, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. One could easily imagine the difficulty of condensing Yin-Yang harmony dual soul cores.
Otherwise, ever since the method of soul core condensation appeared, no one in the soul master world had successfully condensed them until ten thousand years later, when the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, appeared.
The fifth step: equalized balance and reverse rotational closed loop.
After enduring waves of excruciating pain, Yun Yuan finally stabilized the distance between the Yin-Yang soul cores and survived the great tribulation of Yin-Yang collision.
Next, Yun Yuan slowly compressed the Yin soul core until the size, density, and total soul power of both cores became perfectly equal.
Finally, the Yang soul core within Yun Yuan's forehead rotated clockwise, while the Yin soul core within his chest rotated counterclockwise. Yin and Yang circulated endlessly, forming an endless Yin-Yang cycle.
Thus, Yun Yuan successfully condensed Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores.
