Only the impact of divine souls allowed Li Hao to easily ignite the souls of others.
As his divine soul condensed and its connection with his physical body tightened, Li Hao experienced an illusion, perhaps believing that if he cultivated the Divine Travel Realm to its limit, just the immortality of the divine soul could grant everlasting life!
Normally, when the physical body was destroyed, the divine soul would be fragile, needing to quickly find a host, else it would be exposed in the open air and consumed by the burning sun.
But now, Li Hao’s divine soul absorbed Sun Essence for cultivation and began to fear the scorching sun no more.
After a long while,
As he integrated various Divine Spirit Cultivation Skills, Li Hao’s divine soul rapidly improved, and soon, he entered a mysterious state, his soul seemingly transformed, reborn from its old shell.
Behind him, the golden flames that once adorned his divine soul surged into his body, turning the soul completely golden and solid to the touch.
“This is…”
Li Hao’s eyes flickered open, and with a thought, his divine soul burst forth, rushing out of the Dao Domain and directly through the dome of Lingyuan Pavilion, standing tall in the sky.
Bathed in the sunlight and moonlight, his divine soul shone brilliant gold. What was once ethereal now appeared as a golden true form.
With a sudden burst of power, the divine soul vanished, slipping into a layer of illusory space – a seam within reality.
After a moment, the divine soul reappeared.
Li Hao tried repeatedly and soon understood that he had reached the Extreme Realm of Divine Traveling, and along with increased powers of the divine soul, even if his physical body died, the soul could exist for a long time.
Moreover, the soul could traverse the cracks in space, places beyond the reach of the Tao Heart Realm, unless someone from the Grand Tao of Peace Realm intervened, using their Dao Domain to force it out.
To know, these were abilities inherent to the Divine Travel Realm, which was truly terrifying.
“Bathed in the sun and moon, capable of Divine Traveling through the Great Void, moving through the cracks of nothingness…”
Li Hao pondered and named this ultimate limit of the Divine Travel Realm as Primordial Spirit.
At this moment, his divine soul indeed had transformed, becoming different from ordinary souls. Li Hao felt that only in an evenly matched battle could he appreciate more benefits of the Extreme Realm of Divine Traveling.
But for now, just being able to traverse the Great Void, where only the Dao Domain could force it out, was already extraordinarily exaggerated.
Had he mastered this ability earlier, merely using the divine soul to assassinate enemies would make him nearly untouchable beneath the Grand Tao of Peace Realm.
To know, this was a level reachable only in the Divine Traveling Realm.
Experience new tales on empire
Li Hao retracted his divine soul and continued his cultivation.
The cultivation of the Soul Refining Skills didn’t cease with the achievement of the Primordial Spirit. Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit continued to grow stronger under these techniques.
Li Hao had known for a while that there should be an End Realm beyond the Extreme Realm.
That would be the true limit.
But reaching it might be ten times harder than the Extreme Realm.
The Extreme Realm was already difficult enough, with few of the prodigies from the Ancient Holy Clan being able to reach it, let alone the End Realm.
Time flew by.
After a long time, Li Hao’s cultivation of the Primordial Spirit finally came to a halt. The various skills had maximized their enhancements to the Primordial Spirit.
Li Hao extended his Primordial Spirit out of Lingyuan Pavilion, appearing outside the city in the blink of an eye. Then he crossed mountains and rivers, racing under the sun and moon. The scorching sunlight that once could burn the soul now felt merely warm upon him.
The essence of the sun was more concentrated and more potent than the moonlight, constantly nourishing the Primordial Spirit.
“It’s said that only certain ancient Demon Kings with extraordinary bloodlines have the innate ability to absorb and exhale Sun Essence, whereas other races, including most of the Dragon Clan, can only cultivate using moonlight.”
Li Hao thought to himself. The soaring speed of his Primordial Spirit was far greater than his physical body, meaning he could swiftly slay most enemies with his soul alone, without his body having to move.
After wandering four or five hundred li, Li Hao began to feel a chill, the connection between his Primordial Spirit and his physical body weakening. It was a peculiar sensation; as his body grew cold, the world around him seemed to change too, like seas that were both real and illusory, washing over him.
Continuing forward was like venturing deeper into that seemingly phantom sea. To become lost there would be terrifying.
“With just the Primordial Spirit, the body cannot be completely abandoned.” Li Hao mused to himself.
His Primordial Spirit began to return.
The hundreds of li flew by quickly, and upon returning to his physical form, Li Hao stretched his body lightly before resuming his cultivation.
This time, it was the Object Control Qi Circulation Skill.
The Fifteen Li Realm was named so because the divine soul could control objects from a distance of fifteen li in a single breath.
This was the limit for most without great resources.
A distance of fifteen li at full force was a combat speed, not a usual state, like when traveling in the Fifteen Li Realm, one could burst forth at full power, moving objects to fifteen li away, but only in a brief surge, perhaps exhausting after two or three consecutive tries.
The Imperial Manipulation Method, however, could be cultivated up to twenty-five li.
Other top-tier methods reached twenty li.
Fifteen li and twenty li might only differ by five li, but in combat, this gap represented a qualitative change.
Five li meant the difference between being unstruck and being slain before one’s opponent could act.
This advantage was why the warriors of the Imperial Bloodline could dominate all sides; in the Fifteen Li Realm, their twenty-five li control speed could almost effortlessly annihilate others at the same stage.
Previously, Li Hao’s cultivation reached forty li, and after absorbing various techniques in Tianji Tower, it reached eighty li.
With his realm improved and his divine soul strengthened, his control speed became even faster.
As he blended together various Object Manipulating Qi Circulation Skills, Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit flew out again, pinching up a speck of dust off the ground outside Lingyuan Pavilion and controlling it over a hundred li away.
