Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 158: Breakthrough in Divine Consciousness, Change in Strength, Fully Fledged
Soul Ring Skills: Curse of the Stardust Heart; Light of Despair.

Soul bone skills: Curse of the Heart of the Ocean; Guardian of the Mermaid.

When the output of spirit rings and spirit bones is the same, each other can get a bonus, and the bonus of two energy rebound skills with exactly the same effects will naturally be greater.

It is even more powerful than the original Heart of the Ocean due to the high degree of compatibility brought by the soul sacrifice.

The original Heart of the Ocean has a cooldown time of one month, while Youchen's two rebound skills each have a cooldown time of only half a month.

If used in turns, it is equivalent to only a quarter of the cooling time.

And if the two soul skills are activated at the same time, there will be additional effects.

The original Ocean Heart did not have the ability to defend and absorb physical attacks, but under this dual soul skill, it directly became "all attacks". In other words, the real effect became invincibility for a short period of time, and all the energy and power of all attacks were gathered on itself to strengthen the next attack.

And... You Chen vaguely felt the hidden effect of this soul skill.

It’s like the Heart of the Ocean says it can resist and bounce back “all energy attacks”, but this “everything” still has an upper limit.

The Invincible Golden Body clearly states that it is only immune to damage below the "God level", so the damage to God-level attacks is weakened.

The Heart of the Ocean did not explicitly state that its "everything" included energy attacks of god-level strength.

But reaching the god level means transcending the rules of the world to a certain extent, which means that god-level attacks cannot be accurately measured, so the wording is vague.

The level of god-level strength that the Heart of the Ocean can resist is most likely only at the priest level.

And the superposition of the Heart of Stardust and the Heart of the Ocean... let's call it the Heart of the Starry Sea. You Chen vaguely sensed the limit of this dual soul skill and knew it was far above the Heart of the Ocean.

As for whether it can withstand attacks from a third-level god or a second-level god? It's hard to say before it's actually used.

As for the remaining two soul skills, they have also been enhanced more strongly than the original versions, but they are not as powerful as the first two soul skills.

Soul ring skill: Light of despair.

Shoots out a white wave ring, which has the ability to instantly seal the target's soul power and imprison its actions, which lasts for up to 5 seconds. It is a forced control skill similar to Stardust Demon Shot.

Generally speaking, this type of mandatory skill will have restrictions on its use.

However, the Light of Despair is not like the Stardust Demon's Shot. Due to the limitation of its attributes, the cooling time of the original soul skill cannot match the time it takes for energy to recover naturally...

So its cooldown limit is in effect. It can only be used three times a day.

The last one is the soul bone skill: Mermaid’s Guardian.

Unlike the original version which still requires bloodline restrictions, You Chen's soul bone skills can be used directly as long as a spiritual anchor point is left in the target's spiritual sea. The spiritual anchor point will absorb the spiritual power in the target's spiritual sea to maintain it, and it will always exist as long as You Chen does not actively remove it.

Through the mental anchor point, Youchen can sense the general situation of the target and warn it when it is in danger. He can pull the target to himself at any time, or actively teleport to the target.

Planting a spiritual anchor point does not consume much soul power, but teleporting requires soul power to be increased according to the distance and life level of the teleported object. With Youchen's strength, the soul power consumption of active teleportation is definitely much higher than pulling people to rescue.

The maximum number of targets that this soul skill can anchor at the same time is 3. If you forcefully anchor a fourth person after three people have already been anchored, the first spiritual anchor point in order will be automatically released.

Use up to three times per month.

With You Chen's current thinking speed, confirming this information would only take a blink of an eye.

Now is not the time to confirm the specific effect of the soul skill, and he did not care about Lina's current condition. He directly took out the Wangchuanqiushui Dew from the storage soul guide device.

Even You Chen felt a surge of emotion at this moment.

With the combination of a 600,000-year-old soul ring that focuses on mental power and a 600,000-year-old head soul bone that specifically enhances mental power, You Chen's mental power has increased like a rocket.

If he hadn't deliberately suppressed it, the surging mental power at this moment would have directly broken through the peak level of the Spirit Realm and reached the Divine Origin Realm.

The reason why he deliberately suppressed it was very simple.

The effects of all natural treasures will drop significantly after the corresponding attributes of the users reach the god level.

He wanted to use up the Wangchuanqiushui Dew before his mental power was truly transformed, so as to maximize the effect of this magical herb in the short period of time when his consciousness was transformed into spiritual awareness!
Different from suppressing the mental power to break through to the spiritual realm at that time, the transformation of spiritual consciousness could not be easily suppressed even with You Chen's ability. He did not hesitate at all and chose to refine the Wangchuanqiushui Dew in an instant!

boom!
In a trance, You Chen felt that his spiritual sea was making an earth-shaking sound like the opening of the universe.

The spiritual soul core in the upper dantian, which is the spiritual soul core, is spinning rapidly, and the surging spiritual sea suddenly becomes turbulent and changing.

But at some point, the sea suddenly returned to calm.

Considering the vast and endless ocean area, such calmness without a single ripple seems a little strange.

Only the crystal clear spiritual soul core is still running at high speed.

A golden light suddenly burst out from the soul core, and the entire world was shrouded in golden light.

Youchen's consciousness has naturally transformed into spiritual consciousness!
Perhaps it was because he had just broken through and his control was insufficient, so his overly powerful spiritual awareness overflowed from his body.

You Chen himself did not stop the leakage of his spiritual consciousness. Instead, he added force to add fuel to the fire, allowing his spiritual consciousness to spread wildly and naturally cover the outside world.

Everything was reflected in Youchen's eyes, as if he saw it with his own eyes.

The anxious faces of the sea soul beasts surrounding the outer circle of the core palace, the structure of the mysterious crystal palace ruins handed down from who knows when...

Then there are the blue waves and the clear blue sky.

An unprecedented feeling surged into You Chen's heart.

The world was so vast, and he seemed to be able to dominate it all easily.

However, although he clearly possessed such ability, You Chen did not have the slightest idea of ​​doing so. Instead, he allowed his spirit and will to blend into this harmonious and open world.

A great joy suddenly rose in You Chen's heart.

At this moment, he forgot about his ambitions and the worries from the many threats.

In this state of no calculation and no thinking, he was able to think without thinking.

It's very contradictory, yet it comes true so naturally.

He realized that this was what those who practiced spiritual cultivation talked about – the state of selflessness.

A mind as clear as a mirror and still water.

Over the past six months, the insights gained from studying the completely opposite "Art of Distracting the Mind and Refining the Soul" to understand the state of mind of a clear and calm mind burst out at this moment.

You Chen's consciousness has never been so clear.

'If super concentration means putting the mind into overload, consuming a lot of mental energy to achieve faster thinking, and compressing the mental density to be more condensed, then the mind of clear mirror and still water is completely the opposite, putting the mind in a state of zero load. In this state, thinking no longer has the concept of so-called thinking speed. Every thought is like a bubble that bursts and disappears at the same time it emerges. Therefore, even though countless thoughts have been carried out, there is no burden or pressure on the mind. It is even the opposite, a means to restore mental strength.'

You Chen felt as if his thoughts could be extended infinitely, but, after all, it was just an illusion.

This state does not involve any consumption, but it is definitely not a state that can be maintained permanently.

If it can really be maintained indefinitely, then human consciousness may really be able to rise all the way to the realm of the omniscient and omnipotent creator.

After realizing the true meaning of a mind as clear as a mirror and still water and answering this question for himself, You Chen naturally freed himself from it.

However, compared to the last time and the last time before that, there was no trace of regret on You Chen's face.

Unlike before, You Chen is now confident that he can actively enter this state again, but he cannot maintain 100% stability like the Fudo Youxing in the original work.

But he was sure that he had indeed reached the state of a mind as clear as a mirror and still water.

And if one could enter with 100% probability anytime and anywhere according to one's will, it would probably be the so-called "top-level clear and calm mind".

"It really has the effect of restoring your mental strength. Has the weakness in your soul caused by the spiritual realm explosion been completely restored?"

You Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

Afterwards, he finally had the leisure to check on Lina's condition.

You Chen's mind immediately moved, and his consciousness entered the sixth soul ring, and asked: "Lina, what's going on?"

In fact, when he asked this question, he already knew the answer.

His spiritual sense has already detected Lina's soul in the soul ring.

Moreover, he has complete control over the authority of this spirit ring and can open the authority to Lina according to his needs.

The permissions from high to low are forced sleep and soul dormancy; autonomy of the soul in the soul ring; the ability to actively communicate with Youchen's soul; the ability to allow Lina's mental power to probe out of the soul ring to observe the outside world; and the ability to allow Lina's soul body to directly appear in the outside world.

You Chen secretly curled his lips as he recalled the situation in the original novel where Xiao Wu was able to escape at will after sacrificing her soul to Tang San.

This little Sanzi may not have spiritual consciousness, so I don't know if this authority can still be used, or maybe he just gave Xiao Wu complete freedom, but You Chen is not interested in having someone observe his life all the time. But after all, he promised Lina to help her reshape her body in the future, so You Chen still opened up the authority of the soul in the soul ring to let her sleep and wake up as she wants. As for the rest, let's talk about it later.

"Master, you really didn't lie to me! I am still conscious! That's great!"

Lina's joyful voice came through You Chen's mental link.

You Chen responded: "Helping me absorb the spirit rings and spirit bones has consumed a lot of your energy. Go and rest first. I will call you when I bring your two daughters back and they wake up."

"Thank you, Master!"

Soon, Lina fell silent.

During You Chen's investigation, the sea princess fell into a deep sleep within her soul ring, as if she had just finished an intense exercise.

Seeing Lina fall asleep, You Chen started the experimental test directly and switched back to his previous life.

He had always been curious about what would happen to the other character card when he switched one of them, and this was a good opportunity to take a peek.

As for why the test had to be conducted after Lina fell asleep?

You Chen was also not sure whether the system would regard Lina as a foreign object and initialize her directly after he switched. If he switched back, her soul would be gone.

If that happens, at least give her euthanasia. With this in mind, You Chen let Lina go to sleep first. Even if she died, dying in her sleep would be a good way to die, right?
Fortunately, this is not the first or second time that the system has been stuck with bugs.

After You Chen switched, he discovered that although he could not feel the soul ring of his second body, he could somehow still feel Lina's presence. However, he could not grant any permission to Lina.

Then he quickly noticed another problem.

"As expected, being free of burden only refers to the time when [absorbing spirit rings]?"

In the process of switching between the two character cards, You Chen could clearly feel the weight of these 600,000 spirit rings.

It is definitely not the case that one can obtain the full increase of 600,000 spirit rings without having to bear the pressure of a 600,000-year spirit ring.

It makes sense. The original description is: In this case of sacrifice, no matter how strong Tang San is, no matter whether he has reached the level that requires a spirit ring, the fusion of this 100,000-year spirit ring with him will definitely succeed. As long as his level reaches the corresponding level, he can continue to improve in the future.

The so-called burden-free does not mean that the spirit ring itself has no burden, but that the absorption process will absolutely not have any pressure, and can ignore the spirit master's endurance limit and achieve perfect absorption.

Like Tang San, as his own endurance increases, the blessing of the spirit ring can gradually return to the level of a hundred thousand year spirit ring.

This is actually a dynamic adjustment. For example, if Tang San absorbs another spirit ring that exceeds his own limit, the strength and burden of Xiao Wu's spirit ring will continue to drop to the level that can absorb this spirit ring, until it can be absorbed smoothly. Of course, if the spirit ring strength drops to the point where it cannot be absorbed after ten years... then this soul sacrifice spirit ring is useless no matter how dynamic it is.

In addition, because of the perfect absorption, the burden of the soul sacrifice spirit ring is indeed smaller.

For You Chen, the burden of his Sea Princess soul ring is indeed greatly reduced compared to soul rings of the same age and quality. With a blessing of 600,000, it is estimated that the physical burden is only at the level of a ferocious beast soul ring of 200,000 to 300,000 years.

In other words, You Chen's second life now has a total lifespan of 91 years, but only bears the burden of about 60 years of soul rings.

In this case, the upper limit of the number of years that Youchen's second life can ultimately endure will naturally be higher.

The upper limit of the lifespan that a soul ring can withstand is mainly related to the physique. The reason why other factors such as mental strength are not that important is because the physique requirements of soul rings are the easiest to reach the upper limit, and there is a big gap between them and other factors. Therefore, there is nothing wrong in directly regarding the physique as the upper limit of the lifespan that a soul master can withstand.

According to You Chen's calculations, the physique of a Titled Douluo can withstand a soul ring of around 90 years at most. Only when the physique breaks through to the Super Douluo level can it absorb a million-year soul ring.

Situations like soul sacrifice and self-sealing are not taken into account.

Nor does it consider the difficulty of killing a million-year-old soul beast.

But... under normal circumstances, only Super Douluo or a very small number of Titled Douluo can achieve the physique of a Super Douluo. But now that you have become a Super Douluo, where will the spirit ring space for you come from?
So normally, only twin martial spirits have the hope of adding a million-year spirit ring. Although twin martial spirits are not considered normal...

Of course, in this new era, according to the true limit of the soul ring age, seven rings for 100,000 years, eight rings for 200,000 years, plus a little effort, there is hope of breaking through this threshold ahead of time.

But the problem is that at this point your spirit ring's age has been used up for at least 30 years, and you can't absorb a million-year spirit ring.

Therefore, in reality, the million-year spirit ring is an additional optional plug-in for twin martial spirits.

A Titled Douluo can only withstand about 90 soul ring years, a Super Douluo is a step further and can withstand about 120 million soul ring years, and an Ultimate Douluo... can withstand at least two million years.

The above years are only based on physical strength and do not take into account the increase in spirit ring attributes, so the actual number will be higher.

When calculating the years of bearing for twin martial souls, the years of bearing for the two martial souls are not simply added together. After all, the martial soul also bears a large part of the burden. The reason why it is affected by the years of bearing the soul ring of the other martial soul may be largely due to the conflict between the martial souls.

Without more data, Youchen could not draw a conclusion on the specific calculation method.

However, judging from Tang San's ending in the original novel, at least after his cultivation reached the Ultimate Douluo, taking into account the additional physical enhancement brought by the spirit ring, it should be no problem for a single martial soul to withstand two million years.

If it only had a single martial soul, with its pre-set soul ring configuration, the maximum lifespan would probably be as high as three million years!
As for the age of the second incarnation's spirit ring, it is completely within the tolerance range. The strength of its spirit ring is naturally fully unlocked, and the corresponding load is also at its maximum state.

The approximately 300,000 years of lifespan of the Sea Princess's soul rings also allows You Chen to be bolder and more relaxed in choosing his subsequent soul rings.

This Sea Princess soul ring is a soul ring based mainly on mental power. You Chen felt the huge gap in mental power after switching character cards back and forth.

If his mental power in his first life was at the early stage of the Divine Yuan Realm, with a mental power of more than 50,000 points, then after obtaining the amplification of the Sea Princess's soul ring, his mental power has been close to 70,000 points, which can be regarded as the middle stage of the Divine Yuan Realm at the priest level.

In addition, the increase in physical strength caused by this spirit ring is definitely at the floor-brick level among spirit rings of the same level.

Even with the extra 10,000-year card that You Chen had obtained, the Sea Princess's soul ring underwent a small qualitative change, and the physical enhancement it brought to You Chen was only comparable to that of the Evil Killer Whale King's soul ring.

It is not a super soul beast with top-level bloodline. At 98, it can already correspond to the 98th level Super Douluo of human soul masters, or the kind of Super Douluo with soul core ten thousand years later. However, 98 is just about from the ordinary th level to the peak of th level.

It is so difficult to improve the strength of soul beasts.

And mermaids, even those with golden blood, are no match for tough guys like the Evil Killer Whale King Xie Hu, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear King, and the Black Dragon King Di Tian. Even if they are worth 98, they are only comparable to a Super Douluo at the peak of level .

However, even so, You Chen's physique made another small breakthrough.

After the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, You Chen's physical strength was at level 95. If he made another breakthrough in the Divine Elephant Prison Power Dragon Elephant chapter, it would be level 96, approaching level 97.

The spirit ring of the Emperor Golden Lion Beast allowed his physical strength to break through the bottleneck and reach level 97. Then... the three spirit rings of the Holy Spirit Bird, the Evil Killer Whale King and the Sea Princess finally allowed him to break through again and reach a physical strength of level 98.

The criteria for judging You Chen takes strength, toughness, and agility into consideration. To the Douluo people whose judging criteria are relatively loose, You Chen's body, which has no shortcomings in all aspects, can be regarded as the absolute number one person under the Extreme Douluo.

Even though he had so many hundred thousand year spirit rings, he only improved it by a small amount...

Overall, the improvement to Youchen's physical body is only a little more than one level.

But the original novel said that for a Super Douluo-level warrior, one or two hundred thousand year spirit rings can no longer make a big difference. The only right way is to control the original power of the martial soul.

Most of the Extreme Douluo probably had physical fitness comparable to You Chen's current level before breaking through to level 99. It was only by relying on the leap in life level that their physical bodies reached the limit, but they were definitely the floor tiles of the limit physical body.

As for You Chen... he just practiced step by step, and with two life leaps at level 90 and level 99, his body would be able to at least be upgraded to the level of Di Tian ten thousand years later.

Di Tian’s body is still considered a level 99 body, but it can only be said that… there is a gap between levels 99.

The bodies of soul beasts are usually one to two levels higher than those of humans, but as they get higher, they gradually develop into a hexagon, and the physical gap between humans and soul beasts gradually decreases.

But those who are truly outstanding physically can still gain an advantage in this regard.

For example, the body of the Bear King ten thousand years later is definitely stronger than that of Qian Daoliu and Poseidon of this era.

If the 99th level physical body is divided into entry, minor success, major success and perfection, then... Qian Daoliu and Poseidon are in the early entry stage, Xiong Jun, who was comparable to a 98th level Super Douluo in forty-eight years, is in the late entry stage, and Di Tian must be at least in the late major success stage.

It's just a level 99 physical body, why is it divided into so many levels? But considering that the original work divides the 99 level into three levels of combat power that can't be crossed: quasi-demigod, demigod, and quasi-god, then there's really no problem with dividing it into so many levels.

Now, You Chen's soul power has naturally reached the bottleneck of level 90. With the extra soul power from absorbing the soul ring of the Sea Princess, if he absorbs a hundred thousand year soul ring at random, his soul power level will be able to enter the super realm.

Physical body level 98, invincible within the limit.

In terms of mental power and spiritual awareness, he is undoubtedly the number one person in Douluo Continent today.

The wings...are fully grown.

You Chen clenched his fists, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Even though his current strength still cannot cross the limit of the chasm, he can definitely compete with the Extreme Douluo!

This level is comparable to Du Bu Si who will master the golden awakening ten thousand years later!

As for outbreak, he is even more poisonous than the poison that cannot be killed!

The one hundred thousand year old martial soul's true body + the spiritual realm explosion is definitely better than the golden awakening of the original martial soul that burns life!
"Ok?"

You Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked up at the wall, but his eyes penetrated the barrier and looked into the distance above the sea.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he whispered: "Seagod Douluo, Poseidon?"

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but also a hint of suppressed...excitement!
(End of this chapter)
