Chapter 36: The Lich's Soul Core Bursts
So, what is the Lich Clan's escape skill?
The following section is a detailed introduction to the more unique undead creatures in the undead world. If you don't want to see these, just skip it.
It should be noted here that the undead creature of the Lich is promoted from a high-level ghost. And after the ghost is promoted to the lich, it is equivalent to completely changing into another undead organism.
The reason why I say this is that the essence of the soul body is different.
Ghosts and below are all low-level undead creatures in the undead world, not only because they are not enlightened, but like wild beasts in humans, most of them rely on their own soul instincts to survive and grow. All the more because they are missing something very important: the soul core, or soul core for short.
And once the ghost is promoted to a lich, it belongs to the high-level undead creatures of the undead world, because not only are they intelligent, but they have also produced their own soul cores!
It's like the relationship between apes and humans, and when apes evolve into humans, it's essentially a variant ascension. No one thinks that humans and apes are the same thing, right? Of course, if you have to say that humans and apes are the same kind of creatures, then I have nothing to say.
The difference between a ghost and a lich is the difference between a low-level creature and a high-level creature. And the soul core is also seen as a distinct evolutionary feature between them.
Not only refers to the lich, but also high-level undead creatures at this level will produce their own soul cores, and whether there is a soul core or not can also be said to be one of the dividing characteristics between high-level and low-level undead creatures in the undead world.
Once a soul body has a soul core, it means that it is truly mature and has the ability to sustain and improve itself.
This means that soul bodies with soul cores can no longer rely on devouring other soul bodies to survive and grow, and they can transform and absorb the energy of the outside world through their own soul core.
Another important role of the soul core is to store a large amount of soul energy, and further compress and purify the soul energy.
After the soul body evolves to a high enough stage, this refers to the level above the level of the undead lich, at this time, the high-level soul energy in the soul core after being extremely compressed and purified can be fused with the consciousness of one's own soul. The most obvious effect of this is the formation of the soul imprint.
With the integration of soul consciousness into high-level soul energy, it is possible to perform the high-level control of soul branding.
Of course, this fusion of soul consciousness and high-level energy is also the cornerstone of the high-level magic of the undead realm!
It can also be said that if you don't know this kind of fusion, you won't be able to cast high-level necromancy.
And if this fusion is deepened again, and the soul level and soul energy are raised again, it will have a more wonderful effect, and this is similar to the supreme level of expression such as the condensation of thoughts in the immortal cultivation world, and the creation of divine consciousness!
Of course, this realm is too high, and people like the Lich King Badell and the like certainly haven't reached this realm.
It's hard to say whether even the undead kings, the pinnacle of the undead realm, have touched this realm!
It's a bit biased here, and this kind of high-level stuff won't be detailed here, and I'll talk about it later.
Let's talk about the Lich Clan's escape skills! That is the split and detachment of the soul core!
This is a skill unique to the Lich.
The Lich is a very unique high-level undead creature in the undead world, its intelligence, soul strength, and soul quality are much higher than other undead creatures of the same level, and it can almost be said that it is not a grade.
For the simplest example, you can look at the forces ruled by the mid-level Reaper Knight Marcus before, and then compare them to the forces under the command of the high-level lich.
Depend on! This is not a grade comparison.
If the high-ranking Lich Comrade is more like an emperor, then Marcus, the Knight of Death, is undoubtedly the leader of the beggar gang! It's not just because the high-level lich has lived for a long time, it's the biggest limit of their soul power!
And that's just how soul strength compares.
The lich evolved from a ghost, and the ghost devoured a large number of various souls in the long process of growth, and it can also be said that the number of soul bodies devoured determines the speed of the ghost's promotion.
In this massive devouring, although most of the soul information contained in the various devoured souls will be broken and dissipated, there will always be a very small part left behind and will be stored by the ghost's soul. However, because the ghosts are not intelligent enough, they do not know how to absorb and use the huge amount of soul information that has accumulated over time.
This information will stay in the ghost's soul, and as the ghost devours a large number of ghosts, there will be more and more information, but because the ghost's soul is also getting stronger and stronger, the carrying capacity of the information is also getting higher and higher.
Until, one day, a certain ghost is lucky to be promoted to a lich, its soul essence has been qualitatively improved and sublimated, and after the soul core is generated, the huge amount of soul information accumulated before will be slowly absorbed, digested and used by the lich.
Most of this information may be useless garbage that doesn't do much good, but because of its sheer volume, even if the useful information is only a small fraction,
For example, the information memory of the various places passed by the devoured soul body, the deep memory of various strange events that happened in each place, the characteristics of different other organisms observed by each soul body、、、 etc.
This information is vast and scattered, but it allows the Lich Soul to absorb and digest it to broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge, and enrich their experience!
Because of this, the Lich appears to be more intelligent and cunning than the average undead creature of the same level.
And the reason why the lich likes to study all kinds of things so much, and has a high creative power, is undoubtedly greatly related to the absorption of a huge amount of soul information. In the undead world, the Lich is often referred to as a research freak, a master crafter, and a dispensing expert.
Regardless of the faction, the Lich will have a very unique status!
The reason why the lich can have a unique ability to split and detach the soul core is, on the one hand, a unique ability generated during the promotion process, but on the other hand, it is also directly related to their behavior of devouring a large number of soul bodies when they are ghosts.
You could even say that the lich itself is made up of a single soul body and a large number of scattered soul splits devoured!
So it's no surprise that they have the ability to split and detach from the soul core!
The escape technique that the high-level lich comrades want to perform is also the division and detachment of this kind of lich's unique magical soul core!
How to say this, it's a bit like a doppelganger in the world of cultivating immortals**! Of course, the level is incomparable. Doppelganger** is a supreme method that can only be performed by a master who is at least above the Yuan Infant Stage. Even in the world of cultivating immortals, there are few masters who can clone **!
For the Lich or the Undead Lich, the split of the soul core is not a simple matter either. That's a real life-saving card, and it's irreversible. In other words, once it is divided, it is impossible to reunite again. Not many lichs will use it until the last minute!
And the price to pay for using this escape technique is also quite heavy!
Once the soul core splits, whether you are a high-ranking lich or an undead lich, you will split into several separate individuals, well, individuals with their own personalities and independent consciousness.
And each individual will revert to the state in which the ghost was first promoted to the lich.
If it is a high-level lich, there is a certain possibility that the individual strength after splitting will be reduced to a ghost state, that is, the soul core fragment will be completely broken and dissipated in a short period of time after splitting, then you will not be able to be called a high-level undead creature at that time, but a real ghost who needs to be re-promoted!
And lichs below the advanced lich level will not cast the soul core split to escape**.
That would split the soul core without the possibility of zài, that is, split into a real ghost.
You know, the chances of a ghost being promoted to a lich are outrageously low!
Out of hundreds of thousands, one ghost may have the potential to become a lich.
Note that this is only about the possibility of promotion. And this possibility is still very low, because it involves a qualitative transformation of the soul quality and the condensation of the soul core.
The pain and risks to be faced in this are so painful that anyone who has experienced it once would rather die than go through it again!
Now that the high-level lich comrade was actually forced by Comrade Han Feng to the point where he had to use the soul core split ** to escape for his life, this can already be said to be a real move of exhaustion and ruin!
In fact, the high-ranking lich comrades would have the idea of surrendering.
But helplessly, the shock and fear brought to the senior lich comrades by the Pure Heart Soul Suppression Spell cast by Comrade Han Feng was too great.
This is the obliteration of the soul from its essence!
When the senior lich comrade couldn't figure out Comrade Han Feng's intentions, he was so frightened that he used the soul core split** that could reduce him back to the ghost state, which is also understandable!
What's even more tragic is that Comrade Han Feng doesn't know that he has forced the senior Lich comrades to a real dead end! He's still complacent about his imminent harvest of two Lich Brothers. Especially the high-level Lich Comrade, this is a high-level automatic fire battery!
Comrade Han Feng himself was almost stunned by this fort, and who boss would not like such a super thug brother!
I have to say that lack of understanding and communication, there will always be not so wonderful misunderstandings, which will bring irreparable heavy losses to both parties!
Hey? Why does this sound so familiar? It seems that my last girlfriend who broke up told me the same thing!
Oh! Remembering the pure first love! --Damn, I suddenly want to throw up!
All right. This is still a return to the high-ranking lich comrade who is about to split the soul core. Of course, the split of the soul core will not be said to be cracked. It's like you're going to crack a plate with a hammer, and you're going to have to get a hammer first.
Of course, if you want to save trouble, you can also throw the plate directly on the ground! - Well, less interrupted!
The splitting of the soul core is not an easy task, and once the soul core splits, a large amount of highly concentrated soul energy stored in the soul core will explode, and this explosion is still a bit terrifying.
After all, how much compressed soul energy would a high-level lich accumulate over thousands of years?
Once these highly compressed soul energies suddenly burst out of their restraints, you can imagine the intensity of that explosion.
However, because the high-level lich is accumulating and compressing soul energy, it has more or less integrated a little bit of its own soul consciousness. Moreover, the soul core was originally used to store and compress soul energy, so in this burst of its own soul energy, the soul core's ability to resist the impact is also very high.
Of course, in the state of the outbreak, it is certain that the soul core will be hit by a strong impact, and it is unavoidable.
This is also one of the important reasons why once the soul core is split, it will cause the individual strength after the split to drop by a large level.
And in this kind of violent explosion, the soul core of the high-level lich will shoot in four directions due to the strong impact after splitting, which is equivalent to fleeing the battlefield with its own soul!
As long as the soul core splinter where the main soul is not located happens to be intercepted, it is equivalent to successfully escaping!
This refers to the High Lich, because only one of the main soul fragments of all their shards will survive, and there is a certain chance that the Soul Core Fragment will be maintained and develop into a new Soul Core again, which means that the High Lich is not demoted to a ghost, but continues to survive in the form of a newborn Lich, which is of course the most desirable outcome.
For higher-level lich creatures such as the undead lich, the split of the soul core will also cause the split of the soul, and all the soul core fragments it forms will have their own part of the soul, and these souls will have their own independence.
As long as one of the fragments can escape, it is equivalent to the escape of the undead lich. However, the level is usually reduced to the status of the First Lich.
Therefore, the escape ability of the Soul Core Split of the Undead Lich is very powerful, and in that even more terrifying outburst, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to intercept all the flying soul core fragments!
The high-ranking lich comrades were already preparing for the soul core burst.
And Comrade Han Feng also felt a little strange at this time. According to his understanding, the high-ranking Lich Comrade is not a simple character, it is absolutely cunning and cunning. It seems that there is no other action like this, and it looks like he is waiting to die, which is a bit ...... Not quite a good feeling!
Well, there must be a problem!
I have to say that the rich experience has brought Comrade Han Feng a corresponding vigilance.
And Comrade Han Feng's powerful soul sensing ability can monitor the clues before any special action occurs!
For example, now, Comrade Han Feng has discovered the anomaly of some energy fluctuations in the body of the high-level lich comrade.
It's subtle, but it's clear.
However, due to the lack of more information, Comrade Han Feng thought more that this was a high-level lich comrade brewing a big move! I can't help but be a little more vigilant!
So, in the next moment...... Rumble!
