Chapter 207: Third-Level Essence Soul

As Liu Qiyue basked in the spring sun and watched her husband seriously painting, she couldn’t help but smile.

After they married, Liu Qiyue had stored all the paintings that Meng Chuan had drawn of her. She often took the collection out to look at them.

“How beautiful,” said Meng Chuan softly when he looked at Liu Qiyue before lowering his head to continue painting.

Liu Qiyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Meng Chuan had discovered a different kind of beauty in the pregnant Liu Qiyue. It was a stunning beauty, a beauty that belonged to a mother.

The woman in front of me is my wife. She’s pregnant with my children. How lucky am I? Meng Chuan was similarly filled with happiness. In this time of war, he cherished this moment of happiness. His intense happiness bled into his painting. As he drew, the Essence Soul in Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness began to emit a spiritual glow as it transformed.

In fact, other than the first time he painted his wife, the next few paintings didn’t significantly change his Essence Soul despite the occasional spiritual glow coming from it. However, the changes in his Essence Soul were still very obvious; it was currently eight feet and seven inches tall. As he painted his pregnant wife, the transformation of his Essence Soul was even more obvious than when he first got married.

Eight feet eight inches, eight feet nine inches... His Essence Soul slowly transformed and finally reached nine feet in height! The moment his Essence Soul reached nine feet, his Essence Soul changed qualitatively.

This is...

Meng Chuan’s attention drifted as his consciousness fused with his Essence Soul completely.

Meng Chuan looked at his vast sea of consciousness before looking down at his arms and legs. This was his Essence Soul?

It feels like I can separate my Essence Soul from my body at any moment. Meng Chuan had a feeling that his body was the home, while his Essence Soul was the core. Now, his Essence Soul could leave his body with just a thought! However, according to Archean Mountain’s manuals, an Essence Soul at the Nightroaming stage couldn’t leave the body during the day because it would be damaged by the sun’s rays severely.

...

Still dazed, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul returned to his body. He could sense the changes in his body. He could clearly sense everything 500 feet around him! He could also sense auras up to 2.5 kilometers away.

My Essence Soul has reached the third level? Meng Chuan understood what had happened. His heart skipped a beat, but he put the matter aside and continued panting his wife.

...

That night, after dinner.

“Qiyue, I’ll head into a chamber and cultivate in seclusion for a while,” said Meng Chuan.

“Cultivate in seclusion?” Liu Qiyue nodded slightly. “Ah Chuan, didn’t you reach a bottleneck a long time ago?”

In terms of baneful aura and Quintessential Essence, he had reached a bottleneck in every aspect. Thus, he rarely went into seclusion.

“I’ve made a breakthrough with my Essence Soul,” said Meng Chuan.

“Essence Soul?” Liu Qiyue’s eyes lit up. After several rescue missions with her husband, she could tell that Meng Chuan was extremely powerful! He far exceeded the normal strength of a Great Solar Godfiend with a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body and a peak Saber Soul.

Others would think that Meng Chuan had some fortuitous encounter. Although Meng Chuan had kept Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven’s existence a secret, he had informed his wife that the source of his strength was his Essence Soul. It had been several years since he became a Great Solar Godfiend, so it wasn’t a big deal for others to know that he had condensed an Essence Soul.

Ah Chuan’s Essence Soul was already very strong. Now, he has made another breakthrough? Liu Qiyue was filled with anticipation and pride.

Meng Chuan entered the chamber.

Although the compound wasn’t very large, Meng Chuan and his wife had personally excavated an underground chamber.

Meng Chuan lit the incense before sitting cross-legged. Then, he slowly closed his eyes.

With a thought, his consciousness completely fused with his Essence Soul and lost control of his body.

Time to go. As he stared at his vast sea of consciousness, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul left his body with a single thought.

An illusory Meng Chuan appeared beside the real Meng Chuan—who was sitting cross-legged.

His real body couldn’t feel the wind. However, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul could sense the blade-like wind constantly boring into his illusory body, causing his illusory body to ache all over. Furthermore, the void felt like a terrifying sea, as though it could swallow his Essence Soul at any moment.

The Nightroaming stage. According to the manuals, the first time one sends their Essence Soul outside their body, they will encounter a Wind Tribulation, This Wind Tribulation will make one’s body more resilient. Only when one can remain as stable as a rock while being buffeted by the wind, can one’s Essence Soul travel far away at night.

When his Essence Soul left his body, his real body couldn’t feel the wind in the chamber. His Essence Soul continued feeling the pain. After some time, his Essence Soul got used to it and became much stronger.

His Essence Soul could stay in the chamber easily at least.

A third-level Essence Soul can leave one’s body. Meng Chuan controlled his Essence Soul to fly around the chamber before looking at his body—that was still sitting cross-legged. He sighed inwardly. It’s no wonder that one can possess another body when their Essence Soul reaches the fifth level. They can even switch bodies completely.

Possession could be done at the fifth level, but powerful Godfiends rarely used the ability. Firstly, one’s lifespan was linked to their Essence Soul! Even if one changed their body, they couldn’t escape their deaths when their lifespan came to an end.

Secondly, if a body and Essence Soul weren’t completely compatible, it would affect one’s strength.

Godfiends usually possessed other bodies because their bodies were destroyed or were unable to be saved. Thus, they were forced to possess another body.

Return. With just a thought, his Essence Soul instantly returned to his body. Only when his Essence Soul returned to his sea of consciousness did he feel secure. His Essence Soul was still too weak outside his body.

From the third level of the Essence Soul, the Power of Essence Soul will become very potent. Meng Chuan knew this very well. Previously, the first and second levels increased his control over his body and Quintessential Essence, allowing him to unleash greater strength. From the third level and onward, other than having finer control over his body and Quintessential Essence, the Power of Essence Soul alone could deal with enemies.

Even if one were a mortal with a weak body, if they had a third-level Essence Soul, they could easily kill a Great Solar Godfiend with the Power of Essence Soul.

According to the manual’s description, a third-level Essence Soul’s Power of Essence Soul alone has the strength of a weak Marquis Godfiend. A fifth-level Essence Soul’s Power of Essence Soul has the strength of a weak Regis Godfiend. A seventh-level Essence Soul’s Power of Essence Soul has the strength of a weak Creation realm expert.

If one was strong in all aspects, like the physical body, Quintessential Essence, technique realm, and cultivation realm, they could unleash even more strength when working in concert with their Essence Soul.

With a third-level Essence Soul, I can cultivate a lot more Essence Soul mystic techniques. What’s most important now is to cultivate the Essence Soul mystic technique—Soul-Vanquishing Spike.

Meng Chuan closed his eyes and focused on training the Essence Soul mystic technique.

In his consciousness, his Essence Soul sat cross-legged as well. The Power of Essence Soul gathered in his Essence Soul’s palm, forming a “spike.” Divine patterns began to condense, and Meng Chuan carefully fused them into the spike. The spike gradually became more corporeal.

His Essence Soul needed to reach the third level if he wanted to condense an Essence Soul weapon with the Power of Essence Soul.

The Soul-Vanquishing Spike was a mystic technique and an Essence Soul weapon.

...

Meng Chuan cultivated for six hours every night for seven days.

He couldn’t afford to make any mistakes regarding the divine patterns on the Soul-Vanquishing Spike. Any mistake would result in the dispersal of his Soul-Vanquishing Spike. Therefore, he had to form the divine patterns slowly. After seven days of cultivation, he had completely covered the surface of the Soul-Vanquishing Spike with divine patterns. It was extremely dazzling and eye-catching in his Essence Soul’s hands. Its might was extremely powerful.

If one didn’t have an Essence Soul, death was guaranteed in front of the Soul-Vanquishing Spike. Just the Soul-Vanquishing Spike alone had the strength of a weak Marquis Godfiend. It could even injure Marquis Godfiend.
