Chapter 848: Chapter 577: Insect Race King, Queen Submits (2)
This is a soul damage skill that has never existed during the [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority] period, but what really caught Qin Tian’s attention was a seemingly simple description in the skill introduction — “Inflicts permanent, hard-to-recover soul damage on the target.”
Permanent, hard-to-recover.
These two words hold great significance.
The soul is the essence of a cultivator, even more important than the physical body. Once the soul suffers permanent damage, it not only means a significant decline in one’s combat strength but also implies that the path to future advancement is completely locked, never to progress further.
A cultivator with a damaged soul, no matter how strong the physical body, will ultimately become mediocre, never able to reach higher realms.
The text introduction of Divine Thought Retribution appears concise, but Qin Tian clearly saw the powerful deterrent comparable to a strategic weapon behind it.
From the evolution of the [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority] to Divine Venerable, the power of the soul increased more than tenfold, and with the growth of the soul, it brought stronger perception and a comprehensive enhancement to the execution of various abilities.
Lightning, space, fire, frost
Control of various elements became more precise, easier, and far more powerful.
Not only that
Qin Tian gazed at the little chubby group that had fallen into a slumber in the Sea of Souls.
Xiaobai signed a soul contract with him, their souls intertwined, complementing each other.
Just now, as his soul power surged, Xiaobai also received unimaginable benefits during the process, seemingly entering a state of transformation, with consciousness slipping into slumber.
Once it awakens, Qin Tian believes that Xiaobai will undergo earth-shattering changes.
“Everything is set; it’s time to meet you.”
Qin Tian’s lips curled lightly.
“Master!”
At this moment, Adif approached quickly, his eyes still carrying a look of awe and shock.
“Adif, you worked hard just now.”
Qin Tian patted Adif’s shoulder with a gentle smile.
“Congratulations, master, on advancing further in strength.”
Adif bowed his head, his tone respectful.
Qin Tian chuckled and said:
“Adif, are you interested in accompanying me to venture into the lair of the Blood Gu Beast? I mean the biggest lair.”
Upon hearing this, Adif’s body trembled
The lair of the Blood Gu Beast
In the past, let alone the lair, even ordinary Blood Gu Beasts were something he would avoid as much as possible, for fear of being discovered.
Even after obtaining Xiaopolo and greatly increasing his soul defenses, he almost got killed by two upright Blood Gu Beasts.
In his eyes, the Blood Gu Beast’s lair was simply like a demon’s den, a place that would make one lose their soul with just a glance.
However, when he lifted his head and met Qin Tian’s calm and confident eyes, all his worries and fears dissipated.
He remembered his master’s past glorious achievements, the powerful soul storm just now, and his master’s always strategic and composed demeanor
With such a formidable warrior by his side, what desperate situation couldn’t they break through?
Adif suddenly raised his head, his voice firm and resolute
“Master, I am willing.”
“Good!”
Admiration flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes as he waved his hand, and a Gate of Space appeared before him.
“Follow me.”
“Yes!”
…
An underground lair, dark and damp
The air was filled with a pungent stench of blood and decay, thick insect fluids dripping slowly down the rock walls, making a “tack tack” sound, echoing eerily in the vast cavern.
Originally, every passage and corner was teeming with dense Blood Gu Beasts, but now it was unusually empty
In the center of the cavern lay a bloated and massive worm queen, entrenched in the flesh nest, with dozens of thick neural tentacles flailing wildly, incessantly pounding the ground, emitting a dull sound, showcasing its agitation and unease.
At this moment, a faint yet clear spatial fluctuation suddenly rippled in the center of the cavern, piercing the oppressive calm.
The worm queen suddenly awoke, the wildly waving tentacles coming to an instant halt, its aura turning chillingly cold.
Before it could react, two figures had already stepped through the Gate of Space, appearing firmly not far in front of it
It was Qin Tian and Adif.
Cre–eeeek!!!
The worm queen let out an ear-splitting, shrill shriek, and the next second, a terrifying soul pressure, like a tsunami, pressed heavily toward Qin Tian and Adif!
This oppressive soul pressure was so overwhelming it was suffocating, shaking the entire cavern violently, rocks continuously falling from the walls, and cracks tearing open sinister gashes in the ground.
Adif’s body trembled violently.
In the face of this terrifying soul pressure, he felt like a small skiff in a tsunami, extremely fragile and could be swallowed by the monstrous waves at any moment, without even the thought of resistance.
At this point, the small Xiaopolo in his mind released a layer of luminous soul barrier, firmly wrapping around his soul.
To his amazement, the spiritual pressure strong enough to crush his soul was forcibly blocked by this soul barrier
Only weak remnants seeped into his soul, unable to cause any damage.
Seeing this, Adif felt a surge of energy, instinctively turning his head to look at Qin Tian beside him.
He saw Qin Tian standing calmly, with a composed expression, as if the terrifying soul pressure in front was merely a breeze brushing by.
“Don’t worry, it can’t hurt you.”
A gentle voice appeared in Adif’s mind
Before entering the insect lair, Qin Tian had already established a spiritual link with Adif, not only secretly strengthening Adif’s soul resilience and toughness but also activating the sharing mechanism of the spiritual link, distributing the soul impact Adif endured across the entire spiritual network.
