Chapter 1901: Chapter 26: Black Soul’s Transformation
The journey to achieve transcendence is never as simple as just talking about it.
The slots for the Extraordinary Level are limited, and in the entire universe, the number of positions in the Upper Dark Spirit Series is just so many. When one more person becomes transcendent, it reduces the available slots by one.
Countless talented individuals have fallen on this path, and very few can truly ascend to that realm. Like Black Soul, who has mastered an upper sequence early to enter the Fake Transcendent Level, cannot take that step before his lifespan runs out. One can only imagine how difficult this path truly is.
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoman’s words, Black Soul was incredibly excited. He knew how hard this opportunity was to come by, how precious it was, something that could cause countless bloodshed if it were outside.
His efforts over the years had not been in vain; Lord Ji Xing really agreed to help him take that step.
Although this process may not necessarily succeed and will be quite arduous, Black Soul was already grateful beyond words, tears streaming down his face.
No one desires to die, especially those whose lifespans are nearing their end. Their desire to live can overcome all fears. This is a threshold one must cross even if it means risking one’s life. Either you take that step and become a True God, or you go down in defeat, vanishing into the vast universe.
"It seems you are ready, but I must remind you, forcefully raising your meridian spiritual power will be excruciatingly painful. You must maintain your cultivation technique during this process; any deviation, and you will face eternal doom. I hope you can endure it."
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the other person, his eyes carrying a hint of reminiscence.
When he himself crossed this hurdle, he used a similar method, albeit using heavenly treasures and his skill cheats to forcibly break through.
However, this person before him clearly wasn’t as fortunate. His process to break through this threshold would be several times more painful than his own.
Black Soul, solemn-faced and resolute, had made up his mind and prepared thoroughly. Once again, he bowed and said:
"Thank you, Extreme Star Lord. Thank you..."
Just then, he paused, looking towards the green Little Dragon.
"I am Ni Yang."
"Thank you, Extreme Star Lord! Thank you, Lord Ni Yang! Black Soul will never forget the kindness you both have shown!"
Seeing him ready to face death without fear, Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand, signaling him to relax a bit. Then, he pointed at an Immortal Herb that floated in front of Black Soul.
"This is the Nine Revolutions Undying Grass. Take it, and it might save your life at a critical moment."
After saying this, without waiting for Black Soul to express more gratitude, he flipped his hand and used the Upper Sequence "Gathering Spirit," drawing vast amounts of spiritual energy towards him, causing a massive spiritual tide.
Following that came another Upper Sequence "Burst," the spiritual power tide in the vicinity immediately swelled several hundred times, and the entire domain seemed so dense it was about to drip with moisture.
Zhang Xiaoman clenched his fist, and instantly, all abilities converged into Black Soul’s body, enveloping him in a black sphere that isolated space, preventing any leakage of spiritual energy.
At that moment, Black Soul’s eyes widened, his face not yet showing pain, as his skin and body tissues began to shatter inch by inch.
But his reaction was swift, immediately activating his cultivation technique, forcibly using spiritual power to lock his body and slow the disintegration, beginning regeneration simultaneously.
All of these actions were hidden within the black sphere, and without a Great Divine Ability User, no one outside could see what was happening inside.
After completing all of this, Zhang Xiaoman also looked somewhat pale, gasping a few breaths, as this operation was a tremendous burden on him.
Ni Yang’s expression appeared a bit strange, filled with both shock and confusion.
The Divine Domain techniques Zhang Xiaoman had just used were extremely profound top-tier divine skills, with one of them, "Aggregation," having a sequence level that had already reached 15. Ni Yang had been stuck in this realm for so many years, barely able to communicate with and use it. As for the other "Burst," it was even a step ahead, being a 14th-sequence skill that even Ni Yang himself had not mastered.
It couldn’t comprehend how someone like Zhang Xiaoman, who had only just entered this realm, could perform such high-level divine skills.
Its current focus had entirely shifted from Black Soul, landing entirely on Zhang Xiaoman.
"I say, kid, you couldn’t possibly be a reincarnated old monster, could you... You’ve just broken through to Immortal Emperor Level, yet you can perform top-tier divine skills that even I can’t use. Don’t you need to communicate with the Heaven and Earth Laws beforehand?"
In the past, Ni Yang’s divine soul had been trapped inside the Sect Leader Jade, muddled and only able to probe outside with Zhang Xiaoman’s consent. Naturally, it wasn’t very knowledgeable of the latter’s secrets.
However, as the relationship between the man and dragon deepened, and with Ni Yang’s selfless aid to Zhang Xiaoman, their bond became even more profound. They had long since reached a relationship of both mentorship and friendship, and in some respects, calling Ni Yang Zhang Xiaoman’s protector wouldn’t be far-fetched.
Therefore, subsequently, Zhang Xiaoman did not deliberately hide certain insignificant details from it, nor did he imprison its divine soul within the Sect Leader Jade, instead allowing it to come and go freely at any time.
