Of course, this time may be very long, extremely long...
However, with assistance, this time could be greatly reduced.
Of course, this is all predicated on Ye Chen having the ability to assist a space in its growth; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.
"Let's see what's so special about this nascent space first... At the very least, the energy level is very important. If it can't even compare to the Central Plains, then it won't be of much use in the early stages."
Thinking this, Ye Chen went directly to the center of the space, and then his soul power spread out again, and he began to feel the energy between heaven and earth.
Every space has its own energy structure, which is the foundation for its existence, so Ye Chen is not worried about this at all.
However, as expected, the energy concentration in this nascent space was very low, extremely low... even less than that of barren lands like the Northwest Continent.
Of course, Ye Chen was not disappointed, because he could sense that although the energy concentration in this space was low, the quality was very high, which was definitely not comparable to the mainstream battle qi on the continent!
"Could this be spiritual energy?"
Ye Chen thought with shining eyes.
Unfortunately, having never been exposed to the vast world, he had no idea what spiritual energy was, so he could only guess based on what he had read in his previous life about the Great Ruler.
However, although the energy level of the Dou Qi Continent is not as high as that of the Great Thousand World, it is still capable of producing a Dou Di-level powerhouse, so it should not be much worse than spiritual energy. And now Ye Chen can feel that the energy quality in this space is higher than that of the Dou Qi Continent, so even if it is not spiritual energy, it should be an energy form of a similar level.
"If I can use this energy to cultivate, wouldn't that mean I can cultivate spiritual power within my body, a higher level of energy than battle qi?"
"So, when the time comes on the Dou Qi Continent, will I be able to defeat a Dou Di at the Dou Sheng level?"
If that's the case, then things will get interesting...
When the Soul Emperor, having finally broken through to the Dou Di realm after abandoning everything, is ready to crush everyone, I, the "Dou Sheng" in his eyes, suddenly appear and beat him up. I wonder if the Soul Emperor can withstand such a fall from grace...
Ye Chen felt that this guy would most likely be driven to the brink of collapse by the time that happened!
In fact, when Ye Chen was reading the books Battle Through the Heavens and The Great Ruler in his previous life, he had idly speculated about what level the cultivation level of Dou Qi would correspond to in the Great Thousand World.
At the time, Ye Chen believed that if one's Dou Qi cultivation reached the Dou Sheng level, according to the realm classification, it should correspond to the Supreme Being of the Great Thousand Worlds...
The Supreme Ninth Rank corresponds to the Nine Stars of the Dou Sheng, and as for the Dou Di, Ye Chen felt it should be somewhere between the Earth Supreme and the Heaven Supreme.
Of course, it's all just speculation. After all, Ye Chen has no idea what the real Supreme Being is like, and there's nothing he can learn from the descriptions in the book.
Moreover, even if the realms are comparable, the two systems are completely incomparable at the same realm due to the difference in energy level. Therefore, such comparisons are only for amusement and have no practical use whatsoever.
With a sigh, Ye Chen shook his head and decided to put that aside for now and focus on finding a way to make this space grow quickly.
Just as Ye Chen was racking his brains over this, suddenly, his soul power detected an extremely thin wisp of gray air...
"What's this?!"
In a flash, Ye Chen appeared in a location near the boundary of space. Less than a hundred miles away was the barrier separating this spatial world.
At this moment, Ye Chen held a faint gray thread in his hand.
Feeling the longing for the strange threads emanating from the depths of his soul, Ye Chen hesitated for a long time before finally choosing to follow his own will and integrate them into his soul...
boom!
The moment the gray filament touched Ye Chen's soul, he felt a roar within it. Then, his powerful soul, which was already fully capable of taking human form, exploded!
"We're doomed...!"
In the instant his consciousness faded, only these two words remained in Ye Chen's memory.
Chapter 527 Emperor Realm
A humanoid object rendered in gold floated in this empty space.
Around the golden figure, silver-gray dust swirled in a peculiar pattern, resembling a nebula in the universe.
"Am I dead...?"
During the stillness, Ye Chen slowly regained some consciousness. He could feel a wave of weakness emanating from the depths of his soul, a feeling that made him want to drowsily drift off to sleep.
However, this impulse had barely surfaced when Ye Chen abruptly snapped back to reality. He knew he was in an extremely dangerous situation; if he were to fall asleep like this, his soul would likely gradually dissipate into the world.
"That was... my soul was too weak to withstand the power of that gray energy..."
As Ye Chen regained consciousness, some special information appeared in his memory.
"So that was the 'source'..."
The source, the source energy, or you could say the primordial energy of the universe!
This is a special substance that is born at the beginning of every plane of the universe. It is the foundation of all existence and the origin of all things.
However, this source energy cannot be regenerated. In other words, every bit of source energy consumed will disappear from the world.
On the Dou Qi Continent, this primordial energy of the universe is also known as Primal Emperor Energy. This is because only after absorbing Primal Energy can one successfully break through the barrier of becoming a Dou Di.
A Dou Di (Battle Emperor) is an existence that transcends heaven and earth on the Dou Qi Continent...
Every time a Dou Di is born, it consumes a significant amount of Origin Qi on the Dou Qi Continent, and Dou Di powerhouses are almost immortal.
Although the fall of Dou Di has occurred throughout the long history of Dou Qi Continent, it is less than one-tenth of the total number of Dou Di, while the vast majority of Dou Di have left this world.
The departure of each Dou Di is a huge loss to the Dou Qi Continent. This kind of consumption that is not enough to make ends meet will eventually reach its limit, as the Origin Qi is a non-renewable resource.
Therefore, after countless years, the Dou Qi Continent no longer has any Origin Qi, so it is naturally impossible for Dou Di to be born again.
Even after understanding the true nature of the gray airflow, Ye Chen was still very excited.
Because that proves that he has become the only person on the entire Dou Qi Continent who possesses the source energy needed for someone to break through to the Dou Di realm!
Of course, while this is a huge windfall, one needs to be qualified to take advantage of it.
Otherwise, I would end up like myself now, my soul completely bursting...
Although Ye Chen knew he wouldn't die as his consciousness gradually returned, and that he might even be able to break through to a new realm after reshaping his soul, the danger was still too great. If he wasn't careful, his soul would be scattered, and he wouldn't even have a chance to be resurrected!
"It seems we'll have to deal with it later..."
The most important task now is to condense my soul. Otherwise, if too much time passes and people discover that my body no longer has a soul, what if they burn me up?
Having finally strengthened his body to that level, Ye Chen didn't want to change it again...
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen felt as if he had entered a completely new world.
This is an endless ocean, with surging waves, and faintly, it seems as if roars from the soul are resounding.
Ye Chen's golden figure hovered in mid-air above the ocean...
His gaze fell upon the ocean below, and a look of utter shock instantly appeared in his eyes!
"Holy crap! Am I really in the Sea of Souls?"
This ocean stretched as far as the eye could see, and after Ye Chen carefully sensed it, he discovered that everything here was actually formed entirely from the power of the soul!
If all this soul power were absorbed, what realm could one's soul reach?
Ye Chen was unaware of this, and could not even imagine it...
At that moment, he only had one thought in his mind: jump in and drink it all!
Do it when you think of it.
After performing a difficult underwater maneuver, Ye Chen's golden phantom instantly plunged into the ocean of his soul, then opened his mouth and inhaled...
The calm, still ocean of the soul was instantly churned with violent eddies!
A massive whirlpool, thousands of feet in size, swept across the sea. The overwhelming spiritual power seemed to be under intense pull, transforming into towering columns of spiritual water, hundreds of feet in size, which continuously impacted Ye Chen's golden phantom.
This contains the purest soul power, unlike the soul essence obtained from the Soul Palace, which required purification before absorption.
When this seawater of souls rushed into Ye Chen's soul essence, it instantly caused him to let out a suggestive groan.
Meanwhile, in the external space.
The golden phantom, which was originally a nebula, began to change drastically, transforming into a giant black hole. The surrounding silver dust began to spin and shrink rapidly, then quickly solidified, transforming into a complete soul entity...
"boom!"
After an unknown amount of time, the previously silent space suddenly began to tremble violently!
A wave, seemingly the ruler of heaven and earth, spread out rapidly. Wherever this wave passed, almost the entire space trembled, as if it were about to collapse at any moment!
Fortunately, the fluctuations came and went quickly. With rapid convergence, the originally weak new space finally stopped shaking, and the spatial barrier that was about to collapse also quickly stabilized.
"Phew... thank goodness, I almost messed up my space, otherwise I would have cried my eyes out!"
Ye Chen patted his chest, still feeling a bit shaken.
but……
"Emperor-level Soul..."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his fist slightly, and gazed into the distance, a strange state of mind rising within him.
The feeling was as if the entire space was under his control.
This is different from before when he controlled this space by relying on the connection between the star field and his soul. Now, Ye Chen can feel that even when he is in the outside world, he can still control a completely unfamiliar space at will!
Perhaps this is the powerful aspect that can only be possessed after the soul reaches the Emperor Realm.
The Emperor Realm Soul and the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm may seem like a step apart, but one is like heaven and the other like earth...
There is absolutely no comparison between the two. Only by truly experiencing the power of the Emperor Realm can one understand why many supreme experts, even if they exhaust their entire lives, cannot cross this barrier of the heavens...
& nb
Because, between the two—
One is a god, the other is a mortal!
"Even with my current insufficient battle qi cultivation, I should be able to fight against a nine-star Dou Sheng, right..."
At this moment, Ye Chen was full of confidence!
A smile crept onto Ye Chen's lips, but he suppressed his excitement.
"It's time to leave. I wonder how long I've been in this space. I hope nothing has happened outside..."
With a thought, Ye Chen once again arrived in the star field space through the star gate.
By this time, he also knew that this stargate was the only portal connecting to those 108 newly formed spaces. Moreover, with it, he could not only appear in this star field as a soul, but also summon the stargate in the real world to enter those spaces…
This was quite a pleasant surprise. Ye Chen even thought that once his space was fully developed, he could bring his entire family's forces into it and have them fight alongside him in the Great Thousand Worlds!
Of course, this can only be a wishful thinking for now.
After all, although he controls 108 new spaces, which seems to be stronger than the top forces in the Great Thousand Worlds, it will still take a long time for these spaces to truly grow into a complete material space.
In fact, apart from the first space that Ye Chen had seen, the remaining 107 were still in the process of being conceived or in the process of being conceived...
The only thing to say is that the potential is limitless!
……
……
During the time Ye Chen was in seclusion for cultivation.
Ancient World
The Lei Clan and Yan Clan have been personally invited here by Gu Yuan. In addition, there are Yao Tian and Yao Ling, representing the remnants of the Yao Clan, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen, representing the Xiao Clan...
However, in everyone's eyes, the latter two were just putting on a show. In terms of real strength, only Xiao Chen was somewhat worth looking at, and there were too few of them!
"Everyone, I think you all already know what happened from Yao Tian, so I won't say anything more polite."
"You all know the methods of the Soul Clan. I have never underestimated them, but I have never been able to figure out their true strength, and that is precisely what makes the Soul Clan so terrifying." Looking at the somewhat oppressive hall, Gu Yuan sighed, shook his head, and said.
Xiao Yan, Yao Tian, and the others sat there silently, seemingly having no right to interrupt at this moment.
As for the two clan leaders of the Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan, they sat there with serious expressions.
After a long silence, Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, finally spoke: "What are the plans of Patriarch Gu Yuan?"
To be honest, the strength displayed by the Soul Clan startled him. With the addition of the Void Devouring Flame, the Soul Clan now had two nine-star Dou Sheng. If the Soul Clan were to choose to attack the Thunder Clan later, the Thunder Clan might not fare much better than the Medicine Clan.
"The strength that the Soul Clan has shown so far is something that even the Ancient Clan probably can't match. In the current Dou Qi Continent, there shouldn't be any single force that can directly confront the Soul Clan..." Gu Yuan said with a solemn expression.
Everyone present agreed on this point.
"I once fought against that Void Devouring Flame and seriously injured him."
I never expected that he would not only recover from his injuries, but also directly reach the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng...
