Chapter 101: True Soul Core


    Currently, Darcel and Ani''s minds enter a particr state.


    Instead of breaking past the seventh level Nascent Core mental block, their Spirit Senses managed to break into sensing Spiritual Essence!


    All because they were getting immensely pressured by the Ice golem that Darcel and Ani fell into a unique state where they harmonize with their rainbow Nascent Core.


    They were bing at one with themselves and the environment around them, approaching a state of true tranquility.


    And this process was abruptly started and significantly sped up by the unique blue flower''s mysterious energy.


    Through the blue flower, theirprehension already being monstrously high and the immense pressure of death, Darcel and Ani''s Spirit Sense broke through and sensed it; Spiritual Essence energy!


    Their first touch of Spiritual Essence energy is what caused that sudden st of powerful Spirit Qi to discharge from them.


    Darcel and Ani know Spiritual Essence energy is actually called Spirit Deification Qi or Spirit Qi for short.


    It''s energy purely refined by the World and the gateway to forming one''s body to take on the more powerful energy ofter cultivation realms.


    All Qi energies that came before, from Profound Qi to Nascent Qi, were all energies that carried numerous impurities that hiddenly seeped into a cultivator''s body.


    But it was all necessary to absorb to strengthen a cultivator''s mental state,prehension of cultivation, their bodies, and souls.


    And once nearing the True Soul Core realm, a cultivator would need to be at one with their Nascent Core and be serene with the environment surrounding them.


    Even with constant life or death battles, this process is something that would take most average cultivators months or even years to do!


    Yet Darcel and Ani are making demonic speed progress that''ll cause anybody to question their sanity.


    Although, the reason why they''re breaking through so fast now was because of the mysterious blue flower energy. It immensely helped with soothing Darcel and Ani''s mental state and Spirit Sense to fall intoplete enlightenment.


    But still, Darcel and Ani needed to rely on their ownprehension abilities to make full use of the spur enlightenment.


    Darcel and Ani quickly sensed andprehended the base properties of Spirit Qi and used a bit of Spirit Qi to smash their seventh level Nascent Core mental block!


    ''Ka-Cha!''


    Like millions of ss shattering, Darcel and Ani smoothly broke through the mental block! As they could alreadyprehend Spirit Qi, breaking past thest Nascent Core barrier was nothing to them.


    And it was then their Spirit Senses wholly opened up to fully sense the pureness of Spirit Qi.


    Spirit Qi rushed to their bodies like a vortex, and unknown to Darcel and Ani, putrid ck grime and filth were expelled from their bodies.


    The ck grim and filth drilled into the snow staining the ground for a few feet. All of what their bodies were expelling was umted impurities of the previous cultivation realms.


    But to truly enter the True Soul Core realm, Darcel and Ani weren''t done yet. The step they were in now would be considered a half step in the True Soul Core realm.


    And to break through to the next step would requiring fusing Spirit Qi with your own Nascent Core, purifying it.


    Once a cultivator manages to do that, they would then proceed to use the Spirit Qi from their Nascent Cores and attach it to their souls. This creates the first soulyer link, and one would officially break into the True Soul Core realm!


    A process like this would also normally take average folks months or even years. Even a genius like Joyce Ashless had to take months to breakthrough the True Soul Core realm.


    Yet, for Darcel and Ani, everything came quickly and smoothly.


    They used their Spirit Sense to guide the Spirit Q rushing inside their bodies to their rainbow Nascent Core and interjected Spirit Qi into it.


    A bright rainbow brilliance spewed from their Nascent Cores, and Darcel and Ani didn''t even need a second before their Spirit Qi fused with their Nascent Cores,pletely purifying it.


    From there, Darcel and Ani''s Nascent Cores blew rainbow color Spirit Qi into their first Martial vein, which was then directly transferred to their souls.


    Their rainbow Spirit Qi stream quicklytched on to their souls, causing tremendous changes for Darcel and Ani.


    ''Chi!''


    Darkness and Light spewed from Darcel and Ani as they officially stepped into the True Soul Core realm!


    The firstyer link True Soul Core mental block was instantly shattered by them, and their prowess made a tremendous leap.


    Profound Dark glowing feathers scattered from Darcel''s back while bright, gleaming feathers erupted from Ani''s back.


    All of their previous injuries were instantly healed up, and the duo stayed still for a couple of seconds.


    Even more ck grim, and putrid filth expelled from their bodies and got flung out of them like a ck rainstorm.


    The snow surrounding Darcel and Ani was dyed in their bodies'' ck impurities. Yet, the snow the two stood on was strangely sparkling clean.


    Neither Darcel nor Ani moved as the air seemed to slightly shift in the directions of their breaths.


    And after the short brief of time, Darcel and Ani''s eyes flung back open, both bursting with tremendous power!


    ck zing mes frantically swirl in their eyes, and the two felt as if they were on a whole new tier of strength.


    "Ahhh.now that was a true breakthrough! I feel every joint in my body cracking with pure power!" As she said it, Ani was cracking her knuckles feeling Spirit Qi smoothly run through her body.


    "Everything just feels so.light. With the power we have now, that giant Ice creature will be nothing but a test dummy for us." Darcel was cracking out the kinks in his necks, already feeling pumped up to fight.


    The only thing that had stayed the same after their breakthrough was a very slight suppression of their souls.


    But whatever force that was affecting their souls was too low in power to affect Darcel and Ani''sbat prowess or movement now.


    The suppression was akin to a light tickle for Darcel and Ani. They didn''t even regard it, feeling too caught up in their breakthrough.


    However, before they could continue to bask in their glorious breakthrough more, their eyes quickly snapped up to gaze out a mile ahead of them.


    "Ah.and as we asked for it. It shalle for us!"


    Every fiber in Ani''s body roars with zealous fighting intent. She and Darcel''s eyes spotted the massive Ice Golem creature rushing right back at them.


    Chilling glowing blue eyes pierce through the misty fog, giving the Ice golem an even more fearsome look.


    Despite the surprising attacks Darcel and Anind on it, the Ice golem will not rest until these two small pests are dead!


    The distance between them and the Ice golem Darcel and Ani calcted was roughly a mile. They were already impressed in this new realm of strength, seeing as their eyes could more clearly see through the dense misty frog.


    A broad battle-hungry smile was quickly splitting into Darcel''s face.


    He fished out his green scimitar that was still plunged into the ground and said to Ani, "All at once, let''s not hold anything back!"


    Though he was curious about their base limits, Darcel knew it still wasn''t a time to be ying around. Especially not with a fourth rank Innate Core Spirit Monster!


    Ani as well understood this thought as she quickly pulled out her scimitar from the ground, saying, "I just hope it doesn''t die too quickly!"


    A bright white glow immediately shrouded Ani''s bloodline arm, and a profound Darkness glow enriched Darcel''s bloodline arm.


    ''Chi!''


    Snow sted around the duo, swirling around them like a chaotic hurricane as they unleashed their powerful bloodline state!


    Now when Darcel released his Yin Spiritual State, streaks of Darkness cackled out of his bloodline arm like ferocious lightning.


    While when Ani unleashed her Yang Spiritual State, streaks of white Light discharged from her like violent electricity.


    Moreover, their exotic tattoo markings gained an even more eye capturing bright radiance.


    Promptly then, Darcel and Ani sted off towards the Ice golem creature, splitting the snow in half as they rushed towards it. Swirls of small wisps of ck mes spewed from their feet, melting through the snowynd also.


    While Darcel and Ani sprinted off, they picked up on a significant notable difference in how they move their bodies. Everything just felt so.lighter andpletely natural.


    There was no stiff or wasted movement in any of their steps.


    Both the duo and the Ice golem speeds were swift, arriving within a few meters apart in several seconds. However, when the Ice golem got close, it was taken for a tremendous shock!


    The Ice golem powerful fourth rank Innate Core aura had torn through the dense misty fog and tried to crush down on Darcel and Ani.


    Yet, immediately when trying to do so, the Ice golem felt a tremendous aura violently push back its own!


    Darcel and Ani smirked as they watched the Ice golem glowing blue eyes seemingly widen.


    They were mainly focusing on powering their legs for speed, but now that they were close, Darcel and Ani fully sted out the full extent of their bloodline auras!


    "Nnng!!"


    Weird sounds spewed from the Ice golem while its body was crushed by two unfathomable auras. Instantly, when Darcel and Ani went all out, its own fourth rank Innate Core aura was easily shredded and vaporized.


    The Ice golem fourth rank Innate Core prowess was nothing but child''s y in front of the current Darcel and Ani.


    However, the most significant suppression didn''te from the power of their aura. Rather the Ice golem soul got immensely suppressed!


    The Ice golem felt like it couldn''t even breathe with the pressure Darcel and Ani''s soul sted out. Once it had abruptly stopped, the Ice golem struggled to move its body.


    Upon trying to do so, despair swirled the Ice golem''s mind.


    Its movement became incredibly sluggish, to the point where its speed became even slower than a snail!


    Watching the Ice golem struggle to even lift its arm caused Darcel to cruelly smile at it. He had acted upon this opportunity and focused all of his Spirit Sense onto the Ice golem.


    Instantly a shadow spewed from the Ice golem feet, and Darkness tendrils swiftly wrapped the Ice golem up tightly.


    The Ice golem was immobilized entirely like it was nothing, but its mind couldn''t believe this reality.


    Just mere seconds ago, these mere little seventh level Nascent Core ants could barely even tank one of its punches.


    So just how was this sudden power surge even possible?!


    And as valid as the Ice golem thoughts were, it simply didn''t understand Darcel and Ani''s true potential. Even before the breakthrough, Darcel and Ani could''ve contended with the Ice Golem, as shown by their first dual attack.


    But because they were so focused on getting the treasure flower, it allowed them to be open for a direct attack. And even then, in a critically injured state, the duo was able to fight off the Ice golem.


    Yet, none of that matters now.


    More so than the previous levels, Darcel and Ani''s prowess currently simply can''t bepared to what they wield in the Nascent Core realm.


    The breakthrough between Nascent Core to True Soul Core was on an entirely different level from the previous great realm breakthroughs.


    It''s what many cultivators dub the first true step to the mysteries of the World.


    And Darcel and Ani were genuinely feeling the mysterious yet wonderful effect of the True Soul Core realm. Their bodies were without impurities. Their souls could now be used to an even greater extent, and their bloodlines underwent tremendous changes.


    For every major realm breakthrough Darcel and Ani experience, their bloodline has and will always drastically change and improve, providing them with unprecedented prowess.


    And in their next move, Darcel and Ani will know just how much they grew in such a short amount of time.


    After wrapping the Ice golem up in his Darkness tendrils, Darcel arrived right near the monster and quickly jumped towards its colossal head.


    Darcel was as swift as the wind bing a ck blur as he poured Spirit Qi into his scimitar.


    The Ice golem was utterly helpless against Darcel; its only eyes could only spot a ck bur shing right in front of it.


    ''Chi!''


    And with a clean, quick strike, Darcel tore through the Ice golem neck like it was made of paper!


    The Ice golem head flew high into the air, spraying out a chilling blue liquid.


    At the same time, Ani charged right towards the Ice golem torso. And much like Darcel, she easily shredded through the Ice golem incredibly robust Ice body!


    While tearing through its torso, Ani quickly snapped her fingers before appearing out the other side of it.


    ''Sssch!!''


    The sounds of sizzling mes slithered into Ani''s ears as she turned around to the Ice golem. But right then, she watched as raging ck mes quickly spread throughout the Ice golem body.


    In an instant, the Ice golem''s colossal body was promptly turned into ck ash under Ani''s powerful ck mes.


    "Well, well, well. I suppose this a good rough estimation of our new incredible strength." Darcel remarked as hended back into the soft snow, and his eyes locked with hugely smiling Ani.
