Chapter 213: Chapter 137: Apocalypse! The Gaze of the Dream Weaver! (Part 2)

Among the five options, A and B can be eliminated first because the Attribute increase is too small.

Option E can store Soul Energy, which seems quite good, but the problem is what if the Soul Energy acquired next exceeds the storage limit? Wouldn’t that still be a loss?

Both options C and D are quite good; one enhances the Soul Refinement from the foundation, further strengthening the Soul Strength, while the other can combine the soul and the Killing Intent series Skills to achieve a stronger Effect.

Both Effects are quite good for Ye Mingqiu, but there are still differences in value.

For Ye Mingqiu, enhancing the foundational Passive is the most important, while Active Skills cannot be compared. Refining the soul can enhance the Soul Strength from the foundation, whereas the Soul Killing Intent requires using Killing Intent Fluctuation to activate, thereby exerting an Effect targeting the soul.

So, could it be considered that if he doesn’t use Killing Intent Fluctuation, then the Soul Killing Intent doesn’t have much enhancement?

Therefore, he chooses option C.

[Option C: Soul Refinement, selected. Confirm selection?]

Yes

[Hint: Selection complete, reward granted]

The next moment, Ye Mingqiu suddenly felt as if his soul was struck by a giant hammer, with piercing pain constantly bursting from his soul. And this pain did not stop after the first hammer strike, but rather welcomed even stronger soul hammering.

The [Lord of Light and Shadow] halted, looking quietly at the ground beneath, standing calmly on the surface, but in reality, his soul was almost entirely shattered. The pain of Soul Refinement was the most terrifying pain Ye Mingqiu had ever encountered; it felt like his soul was being repeatedly shattered and then remolded through Spirit Realm Power, which was extremely bad. He never wanted to experience it a second time.

[Hint: Soul Refinement completed]

[Current Soul Strength: 100]

After completing Soul Refinement, Ye Mingqiu’s Soul Strength once again fell to 100 points, but it possessed an actual Strength of 150. Even though it became 50% harder to increase the Soul Strength afterward, each point of Soul Strength could exert greater value, making it worth it for Ye Mingqiu.

Of course, Soul Refinement is only worth it for those Spiritualists with a fixed channel and stable way to enhance Soul Strength. If, after Refinement, one cannot raise their Soul Strength back to the Level Limit, then there would undoubtedly be a loss, varying for each individual.

With Ye Mingqiu possessing [Eye of Omaragon] as a Soul Energy converter, and Tang Ruobing continually acquiring power from the Ancient Divine Realm, using Curse Power as a source, both could greatly enhance Ye Mingqiu’s Soul Strength.

This was precisely why he chose Refinement, to fundamentally strengthen his soul.

Although the Level Limit wasn’t raised, at the same level, Ye Mingqiu’s Soul Strength was indeed significantly stronger. After a brief enhancement, those Cursed Lives would find it even more difficult to shatter his soul Defense through Soul Attack.

Speaking of…

What does 200 Soul Strength represent at Level 2?

Ye Mingqiu wasn’t very clear, as Soul Strength has always been a hidden Attribute, and most Spiritualists generally never get the chance to encounter it, let alone improve it; most ordinary Spiritualists never even meet a BOSS that attacks souls.

A BOSS capable of launching a Soul Attack would at the very least be Monarch Level or very likely a Dominator.

Even though he didn’t know, he could roughly sense that his Soul Strength far exceeded ordinary people. Omaragon’s Remains had all 1-level Four-dimensional Attributes at 100, suggesting that 100 might be the 1-level limit of the Four-dimensional Attributes.

And 200 is most likely the limit for the Four-dimensional Attributes at Level 2, a limit that ignores Soul Potential and Body Basic Potential, imposed by the Spirit Realm rules.

Theoretically, this limit actually aids Spiritualists in contrarily defeating low-level Ancient/Evil Gods, rather than suppressing them.

But the issue is that Ye Mingqiu’s Soul Potential and Soul Strength were absurdly high, far surpassing the normal Spiritualist’s limit, leading him to encounter a limit number that normal Spiritualists would never touch, thereby alerting the Spirit Realm Will to an Anomaly.

Since this limit rule was not intended to restrict Spiritualists, Ye Mingqiu merely suffered collateral damage, and therefore the Spirit Realm Will would compensate the beyond-limit Ye Mingqiu.

“Phew~”

The [Lord of Light and Shadow] exhaled gently. Although his Soul Strength had decreased now, [Eye of Omaragon] continued to absorb Curse Power to enhance his Soul Strength.

The feeling of becoming stronger kept coming, and he felt that he would soon be able to return to his original height, even becoming stronger.

“Master, how should I advance, to possess a mighty power like yours? To have magnificent Light like yours?”

The [Light and Shadow Apostle], following behind the [Lord of Light and Shadow], devoutly questioned.

The [Lord of Light and Shadow] was silent for a moment before replying, “Enhancing the Core of Holy Light lies in the World Origin; the World Origin power can enhance the Holy Light limit.”

“I understand.”

The Light and Shadow Apostle nodded in response but could not entirely imagine how she should attain the World Origin power, plunging into deep silence.

Ye Mingqiu’s response wasn’t unfounded either; the core of acquiring [Holy Power] lay in the [Holy Badge]. Although [Holy Badge] on the surface is merely a Gold-Level equipment piece, it’s only a vessel, and its Quality isn’t what’s important.

What’s important is the power of [Holy Evolution] contained within the [Holy Badge].
