"This purple flame has a targeted oppressive feeling on Spiritual Power."
Su Yu became interested in this purple flame. While Huo Yuhao was resisting the purple flame and operating the Awakening Secret Technique to attempt an awakening, he also took the opportunity to study this purple flame.
...
Three days later.
Fully prepared, Huo Yuhao's awakening was quite smooth.
The Awakening Secret Technique made Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eyes unprecedentedly active. The strong foundation could transform into mutational evolution nourishment at any time, and the oppressive burning of the purple flame also made Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eyes feel pressure.
The direct pressure on the Martial Soul allowed Huo Yuhao to feel the changes in the Martial Soul more clearly.
The strong will directly imposed on the Martial Soul in this state as well.
With a surge of Spiritual Power, Huo Yuhao broke through to the realm of form without substance, and his Martial Soul also underwent a transformation.
A rich silver light radiated from the Spiritual Eyes, and the silvery white pupils seemed to pierce through all illusions. A powerful spiritual storm burst from the silver pupils.
"The secondary awakening of this Martial Soul seems to have made the Martial Soul transform, further integrating the abilities of the Martial Soul as one's own, turning them into an innate talent."
The secondary awakening of the Body Martial Soul is like a natural awakening of an inherent talent that belongs to the Body Martial Soul.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eyes naturally possessed this spiritual storm ability.
After entering the awakening state, the Spiritual Eyes seemed to have experienced an enhancement similar to a state-enhancing Soul Skill.
Huo Yuhao adapted to his state, exited the awakening state, repeatedly entered the state, and after becoming proficient, released the Soul Attachment.
"Brother Yu, I succeeded!" he said excitedly.
Previously, he couldn't quite feel the power of the secondary awakening of the Body Martial Soul. Everything was just felt from the data of those Soul Masters from the Essence Sect.
Importantly, because of his ability stacking, Huo Yuhao didn't truly feel the cross-level combat power displayed after the secondary awakening of the Body Martial Soul.
Now, having truly experienced the process of the secondary awakening of the Martial Soul, he genuinely marveled at its strength from the bottom of his heart.
The quality of the Spiritual Eyes greatly improved, directly transforming from an advanced Martial Soul to the highest-level Martial Soul. After entering the awakening state, even the various Soul Skills and the basic abilities of the Spiritual Eyes would be enhanced.
At the same time, this awakening also allowed Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power to break through a realm.
The classification of Spiritual Power on the Douluo Continent is relatively simple, divided from the perspectives of form and substance.
Huo Yuhao has now made a substantial breakthrough in Spiritual Power, reaching the formless realm. Su Yu had also reached this realm long ago when absorbing the Blade of Living Beings.
Starting from form without substance, Spiritual Power becomes more condensed. The effects of employing spirit attribute attack Soul Skills and defense Soul Skills far surpass before.
Following form without substance is form with substance, another kind of transformation.
Both form and substance are not merely results of accumulating Spiritual Power; they represent the intensity of Spiritual Power to some extent.
Some Soul Masters, perhaps with sufficient opportunity, may achieve the transformation of Spiritual Power early, even reaching form without substance or form with substance, regardless of the total amount of Spiritual Power.
Of course, it's more common that Spiritual Power accumulates to a certain realm, then begins to compress and condense, eventually transforming qualitatively and advancing to a higher realm.
When Su Yu researched Spiritual Metal and completed the fusion of Battle Armor in the form of a contract, he discovered the limitations of Spiritual Power in this aspect.
After that, the project of developing a Spiritual Power detection device, which had been pressured for a long time in Mingde Hall, was approved directly and received substantial resource allocations.
Now, there are basic results.
Unlike the traditional division of form and substance in Spiritual Power, the Spiritual Power detection device measures Spiritual Power quantitatively.
It presents Spiritual Power visually in numerical values, meaning it assesses various aspects of a Soul Master's Spiritual Power.
Of course, the traditional division is not entirely without basis, as it also reflects changes in Spiritual Power to some extent. Therefore, in the value settings of the Spiritual Power detection device, there is weighting for the quality of Spiritual Power.
According to the preliminary plans of the Soul Guides responsible for this project at Mingde Hall, they plan to divide the preceding realms of Spiritual Power into Spirit Origin Realm, Spiritual Communication Realm, Spiritual Sea Realm, Spiritual Abyss Realm.
Regarding this division, Su Yu was unable to mock.
This was research he didn't participate in at all. It was research summarised from data collected by Soul Guides of the Sun and Moon Empire, similar to the division in the original story a millennium later.
At most, due to insufficient understanding of the Spiritual Power changes after the Spiritual Abyss Realm, there were no genuine realm names given.
However, after the Spiritual Abyss Realm is the realm of form without substance.
The Spiritual Power system developed by the strength of an empire currently offers the highest rank of Spiritual Abyss Realm. It corresponds merely to the realm before form without substance in the traditional division.
The weight of this realm can be inferred.
"Your awakening this time was only three days. We can continue to delve deeper."
The fire within this Endless Volcano is exceptionally hot, and there exists this peculiar purple flame; Su Yu became more curious about the core area.
The Land of the Far North, formed under geographical influences and as a sanctuary of the Ice God, gathered all the Ice Attribute Elements over time. Following the lively Ice Attribute Rule, the place maintained an exceptional coldness surpassing common logic even in the absence of the Ice God.
This Endless Volcano...
Su Yu recalled that Ma Hongjun merely inherited a second-level God Phoenix. It seems not due to lack of talent but because he once found the Fire God's inheritance but could not complete its assessment due to lax cultivation.
"Could the Fire God's inheritance be in this Endless Volcano?"
Although the Fire God doesn't seem closely related to himself, Su Yu did not give up.
Every God is an object of observation and study for Su Yu.
Initially, this Fire God ultimately did not pass on the Divine Position to Ma Hongjun, at least showing indifference to the Divine King.
"Brother Yu, this Endless Volcano is truly marvelous."
Throughout the journey, Huo Yuhao, despite his Ice Attribute, was astonished by the spectacular sights in this Endless Volcano.
The Endless Volcano harbors numerous high-aging Fire Attribute Soul Beasts, and Su Yu even sensed the aura of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
However, he paid no attention.
Without the need for a Soul Ring, there was no reason to provoke Soul Beasts.
"Elder Yi, did you feel it?"
As they ventured deeper, Su Yu sensed a familiar aura.
Completed the Life and Death Reincarnation, Su Yu, under the blessing of the Life and Death Rune, became closer to the rule and had a clearer perception of divine existence.
Delving into the deepest part of this Endless Mountain Range, Su Yu finally sensed a divine power of quality far surpassing Soul Power.
"Yes, the divine power is scorching and explosive; it should be the Fire God." Ellex also confirmed Su Yu's sensing.
"Yu Hao, let's go; perhaps your opportunity is approaching."
Huo Yuhao felt puzzled.
Brother Yu, this is the core of the Endless Volcano.
I'm an Ultimate Ice, and you say my opportunity is ahead?
I've read enough books to see through your lies!
"Haha, I must say, Yuhao, your luck is unparalleled. We might once again find another God's inheritance."
"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao perked up upon hearing the word "God". In his Sea of Spirit, Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Emperor also geared up quickly.
"I sensed an aura similar to that in the Inheritance Space of the Life God." Su Yu explained briefly, leading Huo Yuhao toward where he sensed the aura.
"Brother Yu, even if there is a God's inheritance, it should be the Fire God's inheritance here, right? What's that got to do with me?"
"Have you heard of the Ice God?" Su Yu asked.
"Yes, I have."
"Then do you think the Ice God exists?"
Su Yu's question puzzled Huo Yuhao.
"I... guess... it exists?"
However, in the Sea of Spirit, both the Ice Emperor and Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm remained silent.
