Chapter 17: Soul Core
As the vortex of consciousness continued to shrink, so did the pressure on it.
Lu Xiao continued to absorb the divine consciousness that was distributed in the ancient monk's body, and forcibly compressed the vortex.
With the continuous compression, the divine consciousness absorbed by Lu Xiao also merged into the whirlpool, and after two hours of time, the whirlpool transformed by the divine consciousness was only half an inch in size, and the speed of rotation was even slower, and the center was already in a state of condensation, and there was a pressure that made Lu Xiao feel palpitations.
Most of the divine consciousness that had spread into the ancient monk's body had been absorbed back by Lu Xiao, and now there were less than eight hundred ancient monks' body whose divine consciousness had not been absorbed by Lu Xiao.
"Success or failure is in one move!" Lu Xiao sensed the situation in the central vortex, and knew that if he was given enough pressure at one time, it would be difficult to condense the kind of soul core similar to crystalline described in the exercises.
This time is different from the past, once it fails, the huge power in the whirlpool will burst out at one time, and I am afraid that it will directly destroy my sea of knowledge.
Lu Xiao gritted his teeth, was ruthless in his heart, and said secretly: "Fight!"
In an instant, the divine consciousness in the remaining seven hundred or so ancient cultivators was absorbed back by Lu Xiao in one breath.
Lu Xiao desperately controlled his divine consciousness to squeeze towards the whirlpool in the center of the sea of consciousness, and there was a violent vibration in the sea of consciousness, and the center of the whirlpool had turned into a pitch-black color, revealing a little purple light from the head.
Seeing that he was just one step away, Lu Xiao urged the little remaining divine sense to desperately inject into the whirlpool.
A slight "click" sound sounded in the sea of knowledge, and Lu Xiao looked excitedly at the center of the whirlpool, where a purple-black crystal the size of a sesame seed appeared.
"It's done!" Lu Xiao was overjoyed.
However, before he was happy, there was a sudden change in the sea of knowledge.
After the purple crystal was formed, a violent suction force suddenly appeared, and the divine consciousness in Lu Xiao's sea of consciousness was absorbed in an instant!
Before Lu Xiao could react, the suction had already been transmitted to the outside.
In the Ice King City, the three thousand ancient monks waited quietly outside the tower, and on the side, there were Ice Thorn villagers who were waiting in a circle excitedly to forge their weapons.
Suddenly, a violent wind swept in, and the hundreds of villagers suddenly lost their footing, and fell to the ground crookedly, only to feel that the little spiritual power and divine consciousness in their bodies were pulled by an inexplicable force, and they passed quickly.
Although the ancient monks looked stronger than the villagers, their bodies were also swaying, and the spiritual power and divine consciousness of their whole bodies were also passing rapidly, and they did not fall to the ground because of their strong physique.
The endless stream of spiritual energy converged into gray torrents, entered the tower behind the ancient monk, and was absorbed by the soul core in the center of Lu Xiao's sea of knowledge.
Lu Xiao looked at everything that happened outside in a daze, these villagers didn't have much spiritual power in their bodies, and they were sucked dry of cultivation almost within three breaths, and now, even the vitality was quickly devoured, and this soul core didn't know when it would be able to absorb it, if it continued like this, I am afraid that those villagers would die, and even the ancient monks would be seriously injured!
Desperately trying to prevent the soul crystal in the sea from absorbing the aura, Lu Xiao was horrified to find that he could no longer control the soul crystal.
At this moment, Lu Xiao couldn't help but regret a little, this soul crystal was still too reluctantly condensed, and now it was only condensed, but the divine sense was not enough to stabilize it, causing it to absorb the power of the outside world and use it to strengthen itself.
The villagers of Icethorn Village are aging at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, and until now they don't know what is happening, and they don't understand why such a strange thing happened.
Lu Xiao had already accepted his fate at this moment, and he had no way to reverse the current situation, so he had to let it absorb it.
At this moment, the black sword in the sea of knowledge suddenly brightened black, and immediately after, a hand burning with purple flames drilled out of it!
Seeing that hand, Lu Xiao's heart twitched, and a deep sense of fear came, the owner of this hand, he had seen it in that strange palace!
That hand came out of the black sword, and in a flash of light, it passed through the soul crystal, and pinched it into the void in the center of the sea of consciousness.
Lu Xiao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his soul, as if he was being burned by flames, and suddenly knew what the hand had caught, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, a paragraph of mysterious words came into his mind.
It was still the kind of language that had never been heard before, however, Lu Xiao understood the meaning almost instantly.
The formless and substantial soul was grasped in the palm of that hand, and Lu Xiao suddenly felt that his life was being held in his hand, as long as this hand was slightly forced, he would end up with a scattered soul.
Immediately, Lu Xiao saw a humanoid shadow burning in the flames emanating from the palm of his hand, and as the flames calcined, they became smaller and smaller until they shrank to only an inch high, but they were more condensed.
I don't know what method was used in the palm of that hand, and in a flash of light, the slightly condensed villain actually fused with the soul crystal he had just condensed.
Suddenly, a feeling of clarity appeared in Lu Xiao's heart, at this moment, he could really control this piece of soul crystal, and at the same time, Lu Xiao felt that he seemed to sense a hazy world, but he couldn't tell what it was.
The hand that was burning with purple flames made a cold sound, and then disappeared in the sea of Lu Xiaozhi.
Lu Xiao let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a little chill in his heart, the feeling that everything he was in the hands of others was really uncomfortable, but he didn't have the strength to resist at the moment.
After the fusion of the soul, the soul crystal gradually stabilized, suspended under the black sword in the center of the sea of knowledge, and the whole body exuded a purple-black light, and bursts of terrifying fluctuations came from above, but this fluctuation did not hurt Lu Xiao at all, but allowed Lu Xiao to expand his divine sense at a faster speed.
At this time, the three thousand ancient monks outside were standing shakily outside the tower, they had been completely controlled by Lu Xiao, and they were still standing straight in place without Lu Xiao's instructions.
And the hundreds of villagers in Ice Thorn Village, everyone seems to be in their twenties, and many men in their thirties have grown patches of white hair.
Lu Xiao glanced around, sighed in his heart, didn't say anything, and told the villagers to go back and rest first, and talk about it later.
Many villagers stood up with difficulty, their eyes flickering, looking at the tower where Lu Xiao was, and after a while, silently returned to their residences.
They had already sensed that the power that had absorbed their spiritual power and vitality just now was probably the huge ice block in this tower.
In the past few days, they have been faintly aware that the immortal who helped them wash their marrow is probably in this ice cube, and for a while, all kinds of terrifying legends they have heard in the past come to their minds, and at this moment, Sang Ruo is not the only one who has doubts about Lu Xiao, but everyone does not dare to speak out.
