----------------------
After a long while, the forest battlefield in the Interdiate Spirit Ascension Platform—resembling hell itself—finally began to calm down.
Gu La slowly retracted his Boundless Forest Sea Domain.
The once vibrant forest was now a scene of devastation. Giant trees lay toppled, vines withered, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of glowing energy dust left behind by the dissipated spirit beasts, resembling a strange, flowing carpet that shimred faintly.
The overwhelmingly dense spiritual energy in the air had not yet fully dissipated, a testant to how frenzied and unprecedented the earlier harvest had been.
He stood still, feeling the surging torrent of vast spiritual energy within him. This was not an actual increase in soul power but rather the sensation of boosted soul ring years in the simulated state, which required a process of conversion.
He unleashed his Groudon martial soul, and the five black soul rings flickered continuously as their energy intensity rose sharply.
After expending eighty percent of his spiritual energy, the Titan Bear spirit soul underwent its first transformation.
This fusion spirit soul, originally formidable, now appeared as a towering bear-shaped shadow exuding a heavy, oppressive aura. After surpassing the hundred-thousand-year threshold, its complete form had grown nearly twice its previous size, reaching a height of fifty ters.
Even with Gu La's vast soul power from his soul core, if he doesn't rely on recovery abilities, he could barely sustain it for ten minutes of combat.
The rock-like shell covering its body had deepened in hue, as if forged under billions of years of tectonic pressure, now radiating a dark golden tallic sheen.
An ancient, primal, earth-bearing terror exploded forth from its presence. Its eyes burned with tangible yellow flas, and it let out a silent roar toward the heavens!
"Hundred-thousand-year spirit soul!"
After devouring an imnse amount of spiritual energy, it had finally undergone a qualitative transformation, further unlocking and enhancing the Gravity Titan bloodline.
In resonance, the four soul rings representing the Titan Bear martial soul beneath Gu La's feet shone brightly. The original black soul rings now glowed blood-red, with faint traces of dark golden patterns along their edges, increasing their years by over thirty-five thousand.
Not only that, but Gu La's soul skills also underwent significant transformations.
First Soul Skill, Gravity Control: His mastery over gravity was no longer limited to simple increases or decreases in multiples but had reached an incredibly intricate level!
He could instantly concentrate a hundredfold increase in gravity at his fingertips, create labyrinthine gradients of complex gravity fields within a hundred-ter radius, and even strip away gravity in specific areas to create weightless vacuums.
The precision and variability were incomparable to before.
Second Soul Skill: The original Magma Immortal Body underwent a fundantal change—it was no longer elental magma but instead covered his entire body with a dark golden rock-like shell akin to the Titan Bear spirit soul. Each piece of the shell was engraved with natural earth runes.
Titan Immortal Body!
Any physical or energy-based attack hitting his body would first be significantly reduced in power by this shell imbued with the laws of gravity, with the remaining force absorbed by Gu La's formidable physique. His defensive capabilities had undergone a qualitative leap!
Gu La couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he continued to sense the changes.
Third Soul Skill: Earth Power has evolved into Material Creation!
No longer limited to creating and controlling rocks and tals, he could now forcibly condense and manipulate gravitational fields to shape and solidify earth elents, tal elents, and even free-floating particles in the air into basic rocks, tals, and other materials according to his will.
While he could currently only create relatively simple structures and materials with moderate strength—such as ordinary granite or raw iron blocks—he could not yet conjure rare alloys or minerals imbued with special energies. Nevertheless, this was already an extraordinary step into godlike abilities, justifying his efforts in guiding the spirit soul's evolution.
His Fourth Soul Skill saw the least change but remained formidable nonetheless.
Gravity Suppression: The suppression of flight capabilities was now stronger and covered a wider range!
Even those not flying but rely in the air would feel increasingly intense gravitational pressure, as if the pull of the earth itself had materialized. This pressure affected both the body and the mind, causing severe disorientation and fear of falling, greatly hindering movent and releasing soul skills.
Gu La retracted his now less docile, slightly inflated Titan Bear spirit soul and turned his gaze to the obedient Sun Elf spirit soul perched on his shoulder.
The radiant and fiery Sun Elf silhouette had beco more solid and brilliant, its light blazing with even greater intensity, as if the energy contained within had grown even more powerful.
Compared to the Titan Bear's qualitative leap, its progress was steadier. Its years had increased by over thirty-five thousand, nearing the sixty-thousand-year mark, but it had not yet crossed the next threshold of transformation.
The range, temperature, sacred purification power, and suppression of dark and evil attributes of the Radiant Sun Domain had all improved significantly. The light flas were now more condensed, resembling liquid sunlight.
Its power had doubled, but the core characteristics of domain suppression and sacred purification had not fundantally changed. It was an accumulation of quantitative changes, waiting for the next opportunity for qualitative transformation.
Gu La, sensing the transformations of his two spirit souls and the elevation of his control over his powers, nodded with satisfaction.
The Titan Bear's breakthrough was the greatest gain from this trip. He glanced at the Sun Elf spirit soul, ntally calculating, "Nearly sixty thousand years… still far from reaching the hundred-thousand-year mark."
"The Interdiate Spirit Ascension Platform's energy reserves have been heavily depleted by this battle. Forcing another boost might damage the platform's core, making it counterproductive. Even with Master Leng Yaozhu's protection, it's best to switch to a different platform next ti."

On the other side, Qing Liuli had also concluded her research.
The light of the Pure Jade Green Lotus Cleansing Heart Lamp dimd, and the Calamity Beast spirit soul quieted down.
She quickly organized the instrunts and recorded data inside the crystal box, her eyes gleaming with excitent.
Although she hadn't focused on aggressively boosting her soul ring years like Gu La, her gains from the chaos triggered by his rampage in the Spirit Ascension Platform were substantial.
All five of her soul rings had absorbed a considerable amount of pure spiritual energy, increasing their years by approximately five thousand.
Most notably, her fifth soul ring, which had previously neared the ten-thousand-year mark, had now firmly stabilized in a deep black hue.
The intensity of the calamity had significantly increased. The "lamp fla" implanted in a target's mind beca even more concealed, blending seamlessly into the background of the soul like dust. Unless soone possessed overwhelming spiritual power and conducted targeted investigations, it would be nearly impossible to detect.
Its ability to induce corruption, aggression, or manipulate minds had grown stronger and much harder to resist or remove through the target's willpower or external forces. Her ability to influence emotions and the mind had reached new heights.
"Gu La, I've completed my data collection."
Qing Liuli cradled the box, her face glowing with the satisfaction of a research breakthrough. "The concealnt and infiltration of the calamity have improved by at least thirty percent. There have also been groundbreaking discoveries in several key 'resilience nodes' of thousand-year spirit soul energy structures."
"Good." Gu La nodded, secretly reminding her to share the relevant mories with him later that evening.
