Chapter 3: The Great Darkness
"Your Excellency the Governor, now please ignite the Dou Qi, the Soul Shaping Technique Transformation Diagram will convert all the life fire into soul energy, and the Origin level Dou Qi transformation time will be quite long, please be patient. ”
As he spoke, the Chief Mage stood directly in front of the pool, his hands spinning a rudder-shaped wheel of the Pillar.
Boom!
A thunderous roar erupted from the bottom of the pool, and a suffocating weight poured out, and at the same time, a deep dark pillar of majestic light rose from the ground, and the dignified black flames pierced the dome like a giant tree, and the rhizomes swirled and burned rapidly at the bottom of the pool.
On the staircase that extended downward, layers of Luen Formation continued to light up from bottom to top, shining brightly, and with the deep black light that expanded and spread, the entire Soul Shaping Hall suddenly distorted light and shadow.
“......”
At the bottom of the pool, Yalei opened his eyes suddenly, saw a string of bubbles swirling towards the surface of the water, and after feeling a trace of imperceptible strangeness, he raised his right hand in front of him and stared at the light flame burning in his palm.
He could clearly see that the steel dou qi was pulled by an invisible force, and it shattered and decomposed in a jet-like manner, forming a series of shining black arcs of light, surging towards the dome along the vast flow of light in the pool.
"Phase 2!"
The chief mage let out a low roar, and with both hands, he pressed the wheel into the beam pillar fiercely.
Bang-bang-bang!
Hundreds of lampposts hung silently, shattering one after another, countless golden arcs splashed out, and a huge amount of energy was poured into the dense and complicated technique transformation diagram below.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The various shapes of the transformation diagram lit up one by one, and the magnificent flow of light slowly rotated around the central pool, and with each revolution, the deep and huge pillar of light swayed, splashing a large number of arcs of electricity and pouring into the dome along the light flow.
Puff - puff!
One by one, the runes in the arch lit up, spreading out a circle of black electric light dense lines. It spread rapidly along the surrounding walls and spread throughout the Soul Shaping Wall.
In an instant, the fluctuations of the entire Soul Sculpting Hall became a whole entirely.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, like an earthquake, and the Soul Shaping Hall continued to shake with it.
"Here we go. ”
Kenneth stared at the bottom of the pool with shiny eyes, and leaned on the assistant behind him to stabilize his figure, a look of surprise on his face.
"It's coming!!"
The black-haired knight looked up with a whim. Eyes look at the vault.
Click-click-click!
The top arch of the entire Soul Shaping Hall, the center actually began to slowly rotate and separate, like a blooming flower, and a huge circular hole appeared in the center, revealing a pitch-black ball of light suspended in the air.
The light and shadow of the dome flickered rapidly.
The deep steel fighting qi dyed the entire soul shaping hall black, and between the twisting of light and shadow, a straight beam of dark blue light pierced the space.
Whew!
The beam of light broke through the pool, leaving a clear black straight line in the center of Yalei's eyebrows.
"Whew!"
The black-haired knight let out a long breath. His eyes instantly lit up with golden light, and became brighter and brighter as the blue beam continued to be injected.
He felt that the decomposition of the steel fighting qi was getting faster and faster, and at the same time, his consciousness space was rapidly expanding, and even the fear realm was constantly strengthening.
The perception that climbed as the soul essence increased continued to subtlet, causing Yalei to subconsciously sink into the realm of void fluctuations, and continued to deepen as the strengthened soul power continued. Soon, he felt a deep blue glow between heaven and earth.
"The ceremony has entered its third phase. His Excellency the Governor is in stable condition and all is normal. The observer reported loudly.
"Good. ”
The Chief Mage let out a long breath, let go of the somewhat hot roulette wheel, and took out his handkerchief to wipe a fine bead of sweat.
"It's ...... What a power......"
Kenneth looked at the still majestic pillar of light at the bottom of the pool and muttered to himself.
His original transformation only lasted for a few minutes, and he transformed all his quasi-natural disaster-level fighting energy. And now, this man's soul shaping ritual has been going on for a quarter of an hour, and the dark pillar of light is still bottomless, and the loss is almost invisible to the naked eye.
If this Dou Qi standing on the top of the world were all transformed, to what extent could his soul essence be strengthened?
His Royal Highness the Prince was a little unexpected.
“......”
The bottom of the Soul Shaping Pool. With the rapid increase of soul power, Yalei's perception gradually surpassed the deep blue brilliance, and he peeked into a dark starry sky, and soon, the starry sky actually turned, faster and faster, more and more urgent.
He only felt that his eyes were full of countless blue starlight flowing rapidly, pulling out slender trace lines.
The entire starry sky suddenly changed into a twisted vortex that fell and fell.
Shhh
In an instant, all the starlight shrank down instantly, all condensed into a blurred phantom, and suddenly, with a bang, an infinite white light exploded in an instant, and the white light seemed to be countless times brighter than the light of thousands of suns, and the black-haired knight felt a sting pain that penetrated deep into his soul in an instant.
At this moment, he saw a small black hole through the void after the starlight collapsed, and the black hole was so deep and conspicuous that all the dazzling blue light around it could not hide its existence.
Big...... Great...... To transcend ......
The strange rhythm formed an aria-like sound, prompting the black-haired knight to move forward, and the closer he got to the black hole, the clearer the shape in the depths of his consciousness became.
Suddenly, he lunged forward.
Boom!
The real world appeared before Yalei's eyes again.
As consciousness and perception passed through the black hole, he suddenly felt his body lighten, as if it was floating lightly. The scenery in front of them was still those scenes, and on all sides were circles of radiant flowing rune arrays, and the mages were nervously running the magic array.
The only difference is - the black-haired knight sees his body!
To be precise, his whole person was light and fluttering, floating above his head without any weight, and he saw his body.
His body was breathing steadily, his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep, and as if he had fainted, but he still exuded powerful fluctuations of power.
"My soul is out of my body. ”
A thought rose in Are's mind.
Before he could experience the wonderful feeling, he couldn't catch it off guard, and a terrifying suction force, like an invisible storm, passed from the depths of the void. His vision changed in an instant, and he became white, and his body seemed to be full of needles, as if he was in a sea of fire, and he could no longer see anything.
"Styx! This is the suction power of the Styx!"
Feeling a burst of near-death throbbing instantly erupt from his heart, the black-haired knight hurriedly controlled his consciousness to sink downward, submerging into the dark blue beam, and the pain of burning and tearing his soul disappeared immediately.
"Terrible...... My current soul essence is so powerful that it was almost swept away from the void by the River Styx in just a split second......"
Ya Lei observed the Soul Shaping Hall with trepidation, and found that everyone, including Kenneth, was staring at the Dou Qi Guangyan with a nervous face, and it seemed that they did not see their soul state.
"Hmm...... The speed of the vindictive energy conversion has been accelerated......"
Although he didn't know why his soul suddenly detached, the black-haired knight also knew that this was obviously not a bad thing, at least, the speed of the transformation of the fighting qi was a hundred times faster.
"Whatever...... Let's go back first......"
Yalei tried to sink his consciousness, and the dark blue beam of light sank into his eyebrows, and as soon as he touched his body, he was absorbed into it.
Pitch black, indescribable darkness, vast, magnificent, vast.
A boundless darkness appeared in front of the black-haired knight, and the black-haired knight felt that the darkness was so gentle, so peaceful, so inclusive, as if it could contain everything.
An unprecedented sense of security poured into his heart.
Yare followed his feelings, melting his consciousness into the darkness, then opened his eyes and squeezed his palm, and when the warm touch came to his mind, he knew that he was back.
At the same time, a strong sense of emptiness came from within the body.
Only then did the black-haired knight realize that his body was empty, and there was no trace of the fire of life, and the forged steel fighting qi in the furnace that accompanied his birth and death had been completely transformed into soul power.
It's over so soon, and I only sink into the darkness for a moment...... Did it actually take a long time?
"Congratulations, Your Excellency the Governor, the ceremony has been successfully completed. The archmage's voice came from above the pool, with joy that could not be concealed.
"Thank you very much for your operation. The black-haired knight held back the emptiness of his body and thanked him politely.
Without waiting for him and the mage to continue their polite interactions, Kenneth could not hold back the impatience in his heart, turned his wheels, and tossed to the side of the pool to the exclamation of his assistant, and said in a loud voice:
"Your Excellency, how are you feeling now?"
"The feeling of the body is very bad, but the spirit is unimaginably full. Following the wooden ladder lowered by a few mage assistants, Yalei slowly crawled back to the edge of the pool like a rusty machine.
"Be specific. ”
His Royal Highness took out a notebook and asked impatiently:
"If your soul power was one before soul molding, how much is it now?"
"Ten...... No...... Twelve...... Well, that's pretty much it. The black-haired knight closed his eyes and felt his mental power, and gave a number with some uncertainty.
"Is it a twelve-fold increase, a little higher than I thought, and what else?"
"Anything else?"
Yalei narrowed his eyes, glanced at the happy mages around him, and said softly: "Not for the time being, let me rest for a day, and after carefully understanding the current state of my soul, I will tell you." ”
"Understood. ”
Kenneth looked appreciative, nodded and said, "See you tomorrow, then." ”
"See you tomorrow. ”
The black-haired knight walked sideways, suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked:
"By the way, how long did my shaping ritual last?"
His Royal Highness looked at him with a look at the monster, and replied with a gasp:
"Seven hours. ”
