Soul Land: Top Comprehension-Chapter 388 - 244: The Abyss Approaches

Accelerating the establishment of the channel inevitably comes at a cost.

"Su Yu said that if the Holy Spirit Sect on the Douluo Continent wants to accelerate the channel establishment, they need to sacrifice at least several hundred thousand to a million lives to have any hope of speeding up the process.

However, the current Holy Spirit Sect does not have this plan or arrangement, so it’s not them sacrificing to accelerate the channel’s establishment.

If the Abyss, being the active party, chooses to construct the channel more quickly, the cost they bear will be even greater."

The Snow Empress thought of this and sensed some of the primordial energy around her, indeed feeling the difference.

"Primordial energy is rising."

She could very clearly perceive the rise in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, in both concentration and quality!

Of course, as time passes, it might be diluted again with the energy cycle of the entire Douluo Continent.

However, the extent of the Land of the Far North is not small, and such a significant rise in the primordial energy’s concentration and quality shows that the Abyss side has paid a heavy price.

"It’s not the death or consumption within the realm, but rather the integration of a substantial amount of energy into the Douluo Continent, accelerating the channel’s establishment."

The Abyss truly spared no expense.

Yet, even before the battle has begun, having already reaped benefits, the Snow Empress’s expression was not relaxed but rather extremely solemn.

This indicates the Abyss is determined to claim the Douluo Continent, and once the channel is established, Douluo will face the abyss’s thunderous strike.

"But why?"

...

Dragon Valley.

Su Yu was unaware of the upheavals in the Land of the Far North.

He did not expect that the Abyss would not only not pause but would attempt to collide with the Douluo Continent and establish a space channel before he had even lured them, proactively integrating large amounts of energy to speed up the channel’s establishment.

From Su Yu’s perspective, the Abyss daringly approached once the Divine Realm and Douluo Continent severed ties was already audacious, which was somewhat surprising.

...

Dragon Valley.

Dragon Tomb.

Ellex’s breakthrough did not consume much time; his insights were already profound enough. As Su Yu repeatedly realized and triggered the realm’s resonance of rules, he simultaneously adapted his insights to Douluo Continent’s rules.

His spirit body gradually solidified, an immense power emanated from him, the power of Divine Sense continually transforming, concentrating Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into an energy-based body, and merging with his Divine Sense power to form a new energy.

"I only have my last Divine Sense left; now I can condense such an energy body, although it’s still somewhat inferior compared to true flesh and blood."

Though saying this, Ellex understood that the benefits of an energy body far outweighed those of flesh and blood.

At this moment, Su Yu was no longer focused on Ellex’s breakthrough, instead fully concentrating on constructing his Battle Armor Core Array.

He planned to integrate his previous insights and details from his latest theories into his core array, hoping to effortlessly complete the condensation of the Virtual Soul Core.

...

Time passed.

For Su Yu, constructing the core array had become second nature.

Essentially, it’s about converting his insights into engravable core arrays, akin to sketching runes.

With previous accumulations, he mastered the transformation of all foundational methods, simply matching everything together to complete it.

Half a month. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Su Yu finished constructing the core array.

Another half month, Su Yu further refined the core array, continuously modifying the details and simultaneously adjusting his Soul Power state, preparing for the upcoming condensation of the Second Soul Core.

...

"Everything is ready; I can start trying."

Su Yu took a deep breath, preparing for the final adjustments.

Honestly, the spiritual metal on him was something he began nurturing from his time as a Soul Emperor, a spirituality nurtured step by step by his own power, and Su Yu was reluctant to damage it during the sketching of the core array to condense the Second Soul Core.

Not only has this set of Battle Armor already occupied his Spiritual Power’s capacity to contract spiritual metal.

His Spiritual Power had solidly reached the Spirit Realm, achieving at least Mid-Tier within this realm, and there was no issue contracting two to three more sets of spiritual metal.

Primarily, Su Yu was a bit nostalgic.

Alright, he was afraid of trouble.

"The Celestial Forging technique appears mature, but without truly successfully overcoming the Thunder Tribulation, one cannot know if there’s a missing step; I don’t want to delay due to forging again."

Not just the time wasted on celestial forging spiritual metal for a new set of Battle Armor, but also possible enhancements to the technique and even the reconstruction and improvement of the core array.

Su Yu was fully immersed in breakthrough mode, his internal Soul Power operation had already become compatible with the newly constructed core array.

If he switched to forging and then the Thunder Tribulation, his state would inevitably change.

After all, Su Yu was extremely certain that during the Thunder Tribulation, he would surely gain insights...

...

With his right hand wiping across his forehead, a crystal-like engraving knife appeared in his hand, seemingly naturally formed, even though it contained endless Life Force, its blade still emitted a biting cold.

With Blade of Living Beings in hand, Su Yu summoned his Battle Armor.

His Spiritual Power infused into the Blade of Living Beings, which transformed into a dense life energy, in energy form following Su Yu’s Spiritual Power into the Battle Armor.
