I Am Overlord Chapter 1779

Chapter 1779: Natural Earthly Soul

The primal chaos flame acted in a way befitting a flame of extreme yang, a bane of all poison. Wherever the flame reached, no poison was left. The flame also started spreading toward the mother poison bug. Frightened, the bug hurriedly fled, not daring to stay behind.

Ming Shi had been waiting for this opportunity, so he naturally wouldn’t allow the bug to escape. Both his hands raked out, unleashing a dreadful rending force that ripped the bug apart. A large amount of venom sprayed out of the bug’s body.

The bug was not killed and was able to regrow its body rapidly. However, under Ming Shi’s relentless attacks, the bug was forced to rapidly exhaust its energy. Finally, its poison pearl landed in Ming Shi’s hand, and its soul was erased. It was finally dead for real.

A poison pearl like this was most definitely a top-tier god-grade item. For poison cultivators, this pearl would provide high-purity energy and allow their cultivations to soar. Additionally, the purest poison origin energy could be found in the bug’s lair as well. That was the myriad poison source, a treasure as valuable as the poison pearl.

The myriad poison source was something that could kill anyone who dared to touch it. However, Xiang Shaoyun showed no fear as he used his primal chaos flame to force the poison source to cluster together. He then created a primal chaos bottle and stored the poison.

After putting the bottle of poison away, he asked Ming Shi, “Where’s the natural earthly soul?”

“Come with me, young master,” said Ming Shi before moving in one direction.

Xiang Shaoyun followed. Soon, they arrived before an inconspicuous chunk of rock. After activating his divine dao eyes, Xiang Shaoyun saw that a seal had been placed around it. There were energy undulations within the rock.

Unsurprisingly, Ming Shi went toward the rock with a burning gaze and said, “I never expected to still obtain the natural earthly soul in the end.”

He then removed the brand he had placed on the rock. His brand was extremely well-hidden. Unless one was in the Reincarnation Realm or one was born with eye abilities, not even Nine Revolutions Realm experts would notice that there was something different about this piece of rock.

The moment Xiang Shaoyun landed on the massive floating rock, he discovered a deep hole. The hole was emanating powerful soul undulations, causing his soul clone to feel an intense sense of thirst.

The natural earthly soul was something that looked liquid yet wasn’t exactly liquid. It constantly shifted about and even slightly resembled a human brain. It looked odd and disgusting, but it emanated the astonishing aura of a filthless soul.

The natural earthly soul was born out of the power of creation. After obtaining a complete soul, it would then be able to evolve into a new life form. Ming Shi badly wanted the natural earthly soul, but he did not even dare to try anything. He was terrified that Xiang Shaoyun would erase his existence with the brand in his body.

“Young master, this is the natural earthly soul. I hope that you will be willing to remove the brand in my body after you enter the Reincarnation Realm. That is all I want in life,” said Ming Shi.

Xiang Shaoyun said, “If you work honestly for me, nothing is impossible.” After a slight pause, he added, “Keep watch for me. I’m absorbing this natural earthly soul.”

Because this Xiang Shaoyun was a soul clone, he naturally wouldn’t have any issue absorbing the natural earthly soul.

He jumped into the hole. Meanwhile, Ming Shi completely sealed the rock, isolating it from the outside world, making sure that nothing could disturb Xiang Shaoyun. Although he wanted the natural earthly soul for himself since it was something that might be able to push him into the Reincarnation Realm, with his drop in strength, he would be happy enough to have the brand on him removed.

Prior to evolving into an actual life form, the natural earthly soul would remain a filthless object. It would remain nourished by the soul spring on this piece of rock. Shrouded in a tiny layer of primal chaos energy, it blended with the world around it as it slowly worked toward evolution.

As someone with the Primal Inception Physique, Xiang Shaoyun was naturally extremely sensitive to primal chaos energy. He did not absorb the natural earthly soul immediately. Rather, he observed his surroundings, trying to understand how this natural process of creation worked.

He released his own profundity of powers, resonating with the primal chaos profundity around him. Instantly, slight comprehension appeared in his mind. It was as though he could see with his own eyes how the primal chaos profundity interacted with the natural earthly soul. He witnessed every single change that was happening.

His sensation as he observed the process couldn’t be explained with words. He could vaguely understand that after the five elements reinforced one another, they countered each other. As the cycle repeated countless times, indescribable changes started happening, creating something known as soul power. In order for the soul power to evolve into life, a long time was required. After gathering more soul power, a form would manifest. Only then would the physical body of the new life form start growing.

Soul was the basis of all creation. It was a product of primal chaos and time, a new life. Something created only with the power of primal chaos would be lifeless. To create true life, yin and yang needed to mingle, and the polish of time was required before new changes could occur and the transformation into true life could begin. Both elements were necessary for the creation of life. After all, primal chaos and yin and yang were closely interlinked.

Xiang Shaoyun remained in meditation for an indeterminate amount of time before he started absorbing the natural earthly soul. As a soul clone, he was naturally able to consume soul power of extremely high purity with no difficulty.

This natural earthly soul had been forming for countless years and was extremely ripe. It contained a large amount of soul power, allowing Xiang Shaoyun’s soul power, which was at the level of One Revolution, to grow rapidly.

Peak One Revolution, early Two Revolutions, mid Two Revolutions…on and on, his soul power grew. The growth was smooth due to how pure the natural earthly soul was. Ultimately, his soul stopped growing once his soul power reached the level of Five Revolutions.

And all that growth was accomplished without even absorbing the entirety of the natural earthly soul. About a third of the natural earthly soul remained. Around it was a god-grade soul spring. All these were treasures he could use to grow his people. He wouldn’t use them all for himself.

He was already growing too fast. If he grew even faster, he might suffer during the reunion of his soul and body. After ending his cultivation session, he gave some god-grade soul spring water to Ming Shi. Although the water wouldn’t be too helpful for Ming Shi, Ming Shi still swallowed the water without hesitation. After all, countless years of torture had greatly reduced his strength. Any little bit of replenishment would count toward his full recovery.

“Alright. Let’s go,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He sealed the entire rock and stored it in his special storage ring. He was going to carry the entire thing back to his main body.

“Young master, those bastards outside have been waiting impatiently for us,” said Ming Shi.
