Within the Dragon Realm.
A week passed unknowingly.
Huo Yuhao adjusted his condition to the best and arrived not far from the nine-colored dragon cocoon transformed by Gu Yuena.
"Come in," Gu Yuena's voice came from inside.
Upon entering the dragon cocoon, Huo Yuhao saw Gu Yuena sitting upright and Zhongli Yu who had fainted beside her.
"How is she?" Huo Yuhao could intuitively feel Zhongli Yu's weakness and asked with heartache.
"She's okay. Her martial soul can indeed devour a large amount of negative emotions, but there is always an upper limit. If she absorbs too much, I'm worried she will go crazy," Gu Yuena said frankly.
Huo Yuhao fell silent. That result was obviously unacceptable to him.
"Let's try condensing the soul core first."
Gu Yuena said, "Do you want to test your limits? I'll protect you, you can give it a try. I also want to see to what extent your control can reach. I suggest you start with ten percent of your own soul power. After the soul power is converted into a solid state, increase it gradually until you feel you can't control it anymore."
"Don't worry, with me by your side, your safety is absolutely guaranteed."
"Okay, let's begin." A layer of faint golden light instantly appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes. His right hand slowly rose, and pale golden soul power began to flow out.
Because soul power itself was liquid, it was as if a spring of water had appeared in his palm. Under the firm control of his spiritual power, not a bit of soul power spilled out.
The soul power gradually increased and began to float up from Huo Yuhao's palm, slowly rotating. This time, Huo Yuhao output more soul power than when he secretly experimented before. With Gu Yuena protecting him by his side, he didn't need to worry about anything.
"Continue," Gu Yuena's voice was devoid of ripples.
Under his control, the rotation speed of the soul power began to increase. At the same time, the soul power began to compress slowly. Along with the compression process, Huo Yuhao increased the injection of soul power bit by bit.
The liquid soul power gradually became viscous, and the rotation speed continued to accelerate under Huo Yuhao's deliberate control. It could be seen that there was a faint layer of black light around the golden soul power. It was precisely this layer of black light that prevented the liquid soul power from dissipating.
If it were another seven-ring soul master, releasing their soul power out of their body like this without using a soul skill, the most direct result would be the liquid soul power rapidly vaporizing and then dissipating into the air.
Huo Yuhao's control methods in terms of spiritual power made Gu Yuena nod repeatedly. Although this control method did not consume too much spiritual power, the requirements for subtlety were very high. Huo Yuhao could do this easily.
The liquid finally gradually turned into a solid state, and Huo Yuhao's face began to gradually become solemn. But under his control, the soul power did not deviate at all and still maintained a stable rotating state.
The soul power was about to change from liquid to solid. It was really hard to imagine that a Soul Emperor level soul master could do this.
Gu Yuena nodded repeatedly in her heart, her attention more focused, ready to respond to changes at any time.
Compress, compress again; rotate, rotate again...
Gradually, the solid soul power completely took shape, and the small funnel familiar to Huo Yuhao appeared again. This time, because more soul power was injected, as soon as it appeared, the absorption speed of heaven and earth origin energy was quite formidable.
A terrifying suction force spread directly outwards. In this Sea God's Pavilion formed by the Golden Tree, the heaven and earth origin energy was originally extremely abundant.
Huo Yuhao immediately felt that the energy increase speed of this solid small vortex was several times faster than his previous experiments.
Around the solid soul power, distorted light patterns began to become more and more obvious. The huge suction force not only sucked in the heaven and earth origin energy but also absorbed Huo Yuhao's own soul power.
In this absorption process, Huo Yuhao had to continuously inject soul power, making that solid soul power continuously stronger.
"Very good, continue. Don't worry, let me see to what extent you can finally achieve." Gu Yuena's crisp voice sounded in Huo Yuhao's ears, causing the worry in his heart to dissipate rapidly.
Huo Yuhao still did not directly increase the soul power output, but let this solid soul power absorb the soul power in his body on its own. His spiritual power control was constantly strengthening, maintaining the stability of the solid soul power as much as possible.
To make solid soul power develop towards a soul core, it must be kept in a stable state. Once it lost its stable state, a big explosion would occur, which would be very dangerous.
Under Huo Yuhao's deliberate control, the solid soul power grew steadily and continuously. The speed at which heaven and earth origin energy poured in also continued to accelerate.
Huo Yuhao even saw that the walls around the dragon cocoon began to emit a faint light. This was the dragon cocoon starting to absorb external heaven and earth origin energy while outputting it. This showed how fast the solid soul power created by Huo Yuhao absorbed heaven and earth origin energy.
A layer of faint seven-colored light lit up on Gu Yuena's body, isolating herself. Huo Yuhao's solid soul power had actually begun to absorb her soul power.
However, because the difference in strength was too great, Gu Yuena only slightly used her soul power to isolate this suction force.
A trace of faint divine light appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. The Eye of Destiny opened slowly, and the spiritual power output increased again, still stably controlling the rotation of the solid soul power.
Time passed by minute by minute. Nearly half of Huo Yuhao's soul power had merged into this solid soul power.
He was becoming more and more aware that he could not stop this solid soul power from continuing to rotate. Spiritual power could only temporarily maintain its stability, but it was impossible to stop it. If he did that, there would be only one result, and that was an explosion.
Huo Yuhao continued to output soul power, and his spiritual power did not decay at all.
The black spiritual power surrounding the solid soul power was constantly strengthening, and had even gradually changed from the initial gold to rose gold, like a layer of solid existence, perfectly maintaining the stability of the solid soul power.
The terrifying soul power fluctuations continued to increase, and Huo Yuhao began to struggle a bit.
In terms of spiritual power, he could still hold on, but when the soul power in his body began to be less than the total amount of solid soul power, the speed at which the solid soul power absorbed his own soul power began to continue to accelerate.
Huo Yuhao only felt that the soul power in his body was outputting like a flood at this time, and the rotation speed of that solid soul power had reached a level that even the Evil Eye could not see clearly.
Fifty percent, sixty percent, seventy percent! When more than seventy percent of his own soul power was absorbed by the solid soul power, Huo Yuhao could completely no longer control the leakage of soul power.
What he couldn't see was that at this time, the entire dragon cocoon emitted a faint black light. Above the Dragon Realm, heaven and earth origin energy had actually formed a faint origin energy cloud. Massive heaven and earth origin energy was constantly converging towards the direction of the dragon cocoon.
