Hearing the voice of the Demon Lotus Emperor, Wei Chen replied with skepticism, "Demon Lotus Emperor, is this for real? It sounds incredible. Would that guy really be so kind as to give me the genuine Soul Devouring Technique?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor responded, "Who knows? That guy must be crazy. How could he possibly part with something so precious? Any version of the Soul Devouring Technique is priceless; its enhancement effect on Mental Strength is immeasurable. If he gives you this Soul Devouring Technique, even I would want to learn it. Just think about how valuable it must be."
"Demon Lotus Emperor, that guy was born from the Red Demon Armor. How could he possibly have the Soul Devouring Technique?" Wei Chen asked in confusion.
The Demon Lotus Emperor explained, "You don't understand. Any soul consciousness born from the Thirty-Six Levels of Weapons or Armor comes with its own set of techniques. For instance, if a sword gives rise to a soul consciousness, it will definitely possess a Sword Technique. The sword itself becomes a part of the person wielding it, and when combined with a high-level Sword Technique, its power is unmatched. The Fellow born from the Red Demon Armor comes with defensive Armor; this Soul Devouring Technique is likely one of its inherent techniques. The soul consciousness birthed by weapons always carries two techniques: one related to the weapon's attributes and another that enhances Mental Strength."
"The Red Demon Armor is of high quality; this Fellow's abilities are undoubtedly a Treasure. You should start cultivating right away. The Soul Devouring Technique is rare, and places like Soul Beast Mountain are even rarer. In a short time, your Mental Strength can be greatly enhanced, allowing you to suppress the Dragon Clan Young Master just based on your Mental Strength alone."
The Demon Lotus Emperor was filled with joy; the Soul Devouring Technique was something he had long sought after.
Unexpectedly, what he had been searching for came effortlessly.
As Wei Chen pondered this, the Demon Lotus Emperor continued, "Kid, you've struck gold. With this Soul Devouring Technique, you can rely on your formidable Mental Strength to suppress others. Even if your overall strength isn't impressive, in the demon realm, even someone like your grandfather from the Thirty-Six Levels would find it hard to surpass you in terms of Mental Strength. If you continue to improve, what do you think those Mental Strength defensive formations created by demon realm inhabitants will amount to? Remember this: no matter how powerful a shield is, it cannot withstand the sharpest spear. Your Mental Strength is that spear; the Mental Strength defensive formations of demon realm inhabitants are merely shields. If you passively take hits, you will always lose; but if you take the initiative and strike when they are unprepared, victory will be yours."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen nodded repeatedly and felt quite pleased.
"Kid, when you reach the Nine Immortal Realm, with this Soul Devouring Technique, if you choose to share even a single move or two, even several Great Emperors will treat you with respect and offer you countless benefits. I can sense that this Soul Devouring Technique is of high caliber; perhaps it matches the quality of that Red Demon Armor—both might exceed the Thirty-Six Levels!" The Demon Lotus Emperor was extremely excited as he continued.
Although Wei Chen was happy, he found himself increasingly puzzled. Why would that Red Boy's Fellow suddenly treat him so well? That fierce Fellow usually just wanted to attack him; why would it gift him such a high-level technique?
"Demon Lotus Emperor, what do you think that guy is thinking? Why would he so easily share his life technique with me? At first, didn't he want to devour my Spirit? If it weren't for the presence of the Demon Lotus aura, he would have definitely attacked directly," Wei Chen asked the Demon Lotus Emperor.
The Demon Lotus Emperor frowned within Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness and shook his head. "I don't know either; you'll have to figure it out yourself. Or if you find an appropriate opportunity, just ask him directly—he might surprise you. All I know is that he gave you his life Soul Devouring Technique without a doubt; it's absolutely genuine. While we've been talking, I've already mastered it myself. When you kill a Soul Beast later on, I'll quietly absorb some and give it a try."
"So fast?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up with your cultivation! You won't be slow at all either. With your Demon Lotus Heart, even just a moment's time will be sufficient."
Wei Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed as he began to cultivate the Soul Devouring Technique. This technique was essentially a method for absorbing Spirit, similar to the techniques used in the Soul World to absorb Soul Power, albeit much more complex. However, with the support of the Demon Lotus Heart, Wei Chen progressed rapidly in his cultivation.
A moment was too long; just a few minutes would suffice.
Once he mastered the technique, Wei Chen suddenly felt its wonders. It operated automatically, drawing in the surrounding Soul Power that swirled around him, penetrating his body and bringing him explosive pain. He gritted his teeth tightly, controlling the low-level Soul Power as it coursed through him, impacting his acupoints, causing his Soul Power Realm to surge upward.
Earth Soul Realm Level Four quickly broke through to Earth Soul Realm Level Five.
Wei Chen continued to absorb Soul Power. Despite the immense pain his body endured, his mood was exceptionally buoyant; he had finally broken through the shackles of Earth Soul Realm Level Four that had held him back for so long!
"Paralyze it! Since it's this intense, what are we waiting for? Let's quickly cultivate to the Peak of Earth Soul Realm!"
Wei Chen did not pause, frantically gathering and absorbing Soul Power as his strength soared. He was enjoying the cultivation immensely, completely unaware that Red Boy was already embroiled in a bloody battle.
Three full hours had passed since Wei Chen sat down. Red Boy sensed that Wei Chen was increasing his Soul Power Realm and chose not to disturb him, focusing instead on dealing with the incoming Soul Beasts. The number of Soul Beasts continued to rise; he was exhausted and barely had time to catch his breath or recover. He was constantly depleting his energy and was beginning to struggle.
Many of the Soul Beasts killed by Red Boy were beyond his capacity to absorb before the next wave arrived.
The dead Soul Beasts dissipated into the ground, and their Mental Strength was not absorbed by Red Boy at all.
While cursing Wei Chen to suffer a terrible fate, Red Boy desperately protected him instead of retreating into the Red Demon Armor for safety.
The Demon Lotus Emperor could not comprehend this situation at all.
"What is going on with this kid? Why is he desperately protecting Wei Chen? What does this mean? This world is too crazy!"
The Demon Lotus Emperor could not understand what had transpired. A Fellow who had previously dismissed Wei Chen with disdain was inexplicably protecting him now?
"Damn it! Has this kid lost his mind? Not only did he give Wei Chen the precious Soul Devouring Technique, but he's also going all out to protect him—it's completely incomprehensible!"
"Could it be that he has already discovered Wei Chen's Demon Lotus Heart?"
"The Demon Lotus Heart carries some of the strongest artifact energy from the Nuwa Stone. Is he protecting Wei Chen because of the Nuwa Stone?"
"Regardless, now that he has protected Wei Chen this time, he probably won't target him again in the future. That's good news."
"Or perhaps he has seen through Wei Chen's identity as someone who transcends the three realms and is not bound by the five elements? Has he recognized the Ancient Bloodline within Wei Chen?"
"Although Wei Chen is identified as the Dark Demon Clan Young Master, his true identity indeed possesses an Ancient Bloodline."
"The Red Demon Armor has surpassed Thirty-Six Levels; maybe it knows some ancient secrets. After discovering Wei Chen's bloodline, he gifted the Soul Devouring Technique to Wei Chen to protect him."
As the Demon Lotus Emperor pondered, he eagerly absorbed the Mental Strength from the Soul Beast that Red Boy had failed to absorb. The sensation was incredibly satisfying. His body became increasingly refined, and if this continued, it wouldn't be long before he could shape a true physical form and 'revive' himself.
Currently, the Demon Lotus Emperor existed as a Soul Body, capable of taking on a human shape, but due to insufficient Soul Power, it was merely a virtual Soul Body without substance. In fact, Red Boy was similar; he could only be seen as vague outlines and did not possess a human form.
From this perspective, both Red Boy and the Demon Lotus Emperor were essentially the same existence.
The Demon Lotus Emperor held no murderous intent towards Red Boy. It was only at the beginning when Red Boy aimed to deal with Wei Chen that the Demon Lotus Emperor felt compelled to act.
Having been with Wei Chen for so long, the Demon Lotus Emperor had come to regard him as his own younger brother. Often, he would unconsciously think of Wei Chen and consider his well-being. This change had been ongoing and deepening to the point where now, the Demon Lotus Emperor felt a strong desire to protect and teach Wei Chen.
With Red Boy no longer harboring ill intentions towards Wei Chen, the Demon Lotus Emperor also lost any desire to harm Red Boy.
He initially intended to teach Wei Chen his method of devouring others' souls, but the Soul Devouring Technique given to Wei Chen by Red Boy was the authentic method for cultivating Mental Strength. The Demon Lotus Emperor's method of soul devouring was a forceful seizure rather than a gradual enhancement; it resembled a dark path.
With a righteous path available, the Demon Lotus Emperor would not allow Wei Chen to practice any sinister techniques.
As he cautiously observed the situation, he prepared to act as soon as Red Boy showed signs of weakness.
But Red Boy always looked like he was on the verge of collapse, yet in the end, he managed to fiercely defeat the Soul Beast, catching his breath and continuing on with astonishing recovery abilities. The Demon Lotus Emperor wanted to see Red Boy's limits, so he refrained from intervening, content to absorb the Soul Beast and enhance his Mental Strength. As his Mental Strength steadily increased and Wei Chen remained unharmed, why not take advantage of the situation?
Red Boy cursed Wei Chen vehemently, cursing his ancestors for generations. However, when he thought about how terrifying Wei Chen's ancestors were, he dared not dwell on it any longer. Even in his heart, he refrained from cursing.
All he could do was angrily call Wei Chen an irresponsible fool, thinking, "You’re enjoying your training while I’m about to die!"
The Demon Lotus Emperor observed Red Boy closely and noticed new changes in him.
It seemed that this fellow had grown a bit during this time.
From the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old boy, he now looked around ten years old?
"Tsk tsk, this kid is making great progress; he's grown so quickly. If he keeps this up, he won't be far from his peak. If he truly wants to assist Wei Chen, once Wei Chen returns to the Soul World, he will be an invincible presence. The crisis over at the Azure Mountain Peach Blossom Sect won't be a problem at all."
While Red Boy was fighting desperately, the Demon Lotus Emperor took advantage of the situation. Meanwhile, Wei Chen's Soul Power Realm surged wildly and finally reached the Peak of Earth Soul Realm.
How long does it take to go from Earth Soul Realm Level Four to Peak of Earth Soul Realm?
In the Soul World, many talented individuals get stuck at Earth Soul Realm Level Four. Throughout their lives, they may never reach Peak of Earth Soul Realm. Even if they break through the Three Trials and reach Earth Soul Realm Level Five, they are still far from Peak of Earth Soul Realm. Yet Wei Chen accomplished all of this in just three or four hours.
Wei Chen opened his eyes and murmured, "Soul Power and the Divine Soul Power of Soul Beasts are completely different forces. Only now do I finally understand White Out!"
