Start with Island Lord

Deep underground, Rosen spent a lot of money to build a soul laboratory.

The laboratory has set up phase confinement arrays, mind shielding arrays, ring amplification arrays, soul focus arrays, etc. There are more than twenty arrays.

Building this magic array cost a full 200,000 Oggs, which is equivalent to spending 300 million in the previous life to build a personal laboratory.

The purpose is to provide him with the best environment for practice.

Sitting alone in the array, after confirming that the array was operating well, he closed his eyes and began to build a 'spiritual pumping system' on the outer layer of his soul based on the known soul knowledge.

From another perspective, this is a large soul array imprinted on the soul.

Extremely difficult!

Because it's like a doctor operating on himself with a scalpel, risking his life.

When inscribed, one can easily feel the sharp pain in the soul.

This is a manifestation of soul shock, which cannot be weakened by any method. If Rosen had not possessed the ultimate ten-ring soul, he would not be able to withstand it at all.

The good news is that everything is expected, and all pain occurs on the surface of the soul, not at the root.

After the imprinting process lasted for an unknown amount of time, the 'spiritual energy pumping system' was completed.

‘Laifu, I’m going to start a trial run and monitor the running status. ’

‘Already monitored. ’

Rosen tried to run it.

With this operation, he felt his heart suddenly shake, and an extremely violent power of the ring poured directly into his soul, almost sending him away.

It stopped running immediately and secretly wiped a sweat in my heart.

"The power of the spiritual power pump is turned up. The ring pressure in the tenth magic ring is really high."

The power of the tenth magic ring is very abundant, the ring pressure is extremely high, and with the addition of an absorbing water pump, even if he has deliberately lowered the operating power, he can barely handle the magic power that is almost pouring into his soul.

‘Laifu, how was the spiritual power pump working just now? ’

‘Everything is working as expected. ’

In this case, you can try to upgrade the ring.

How to level up?

Of course, we still rely on the spiritual power pump.

Taking a deep breath, he started the spiritual power pump again, reducing the operating power to an extremely low level to ensure safety.

A large amount of the power of the magic ring poured into the soul again, part of which entered the 'combustion chamber' to be burned and turned into the power to drive the spiritual power pump, while the other part entered Rosen's soul, violently increasing the strength of his soul.

During the entire process, the spiritual energy burned accounted for 90% of the total spiritual energy.

But even if only 10% entered the soul, the strength of the soul began to increase sharply, and soon touched the wall of the tenth ring.

Rosen clearly felt a pressure, as if there was a rocket under his butt, but there was a ceiling above his head.

Crash through the ceiling and fly high into the sky?

Or is your body unable to bear it and your soul smashed directly against the ceiling?

It depends not only on the data calculated by the experiment, but also on his personal willpower.

Because in the first step of cultivation, spiritual elements account for at least 30%.

If the will is not strong enough, the artifact in hand is useless.

Rosen gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on.

At this moment, there was a pure yearning for a higher realm of magic in his mind, and there was also a strong belief in protection.

The mentor, wife, children, and the beautiful, lively and unique women are the most beautiful scenery in the world.

It would be such a shame, such a shame, if they were all destroyed by demons.

He didn't know how long it took, but he vaguely felt the weight on his soul suddenly lighten, and then his whole person suddenly became light and airy.

If there was too much pressure one moment, now there is too little pressure.

Too much pressure will crush the soul, but too little pressure will cause the soul to collapse from the inside out.

All kinds of thoughts suddenly appeared in my heart uncontrollably, and I even felt like a bunch of demons were dancing wildly, and I felt like I couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

This is a sign that the soul is about to disintegrate!

‘It’s the eleventh ring, it feels very similar to what Naya described! ’

At this time, the experience provided by Naya played a very good guiding role for Rosen, so that he would not be at a loss because he was in a completely unfamiliar situation.

He kept his true intentions and immediately began to implement the planned plan.

‘Increase the operating power of the spiritual power pump and prevent the backflow of spiritual power. ’

‘Open the soul shield and stabilize the soul pressure. ’

‘Turn on the psychic heat dissipation system and stabilize the psychic combustion chamber. ’

‘Open the soul shielding array to isolate the soul from shock. ’

‘Laifu, start collecting data and train the new ability "Legendary Ring". ’

‘Collecting data’

As the power of the spiritual power pump increased, in Rosen's soul burning chamber, the power of the soul burned fiercely in the spiritual furnace, and the power stimulated maintained the consumption of various soul spells.

As he expected, the whole process was extremely complicated, and just maintaining it required a lot of effort.

The most terrifying thing is that as long as you relax even a little bit, this sophisticated and complex soul system will stop functioning, and then a terrifying "spiritual power backflow" will occur.

According to the experimental conclusion, in just 3 seconds, the violent backflow of spiritual power will cause the soul to collapse.

Rosen tried hard to maintain it, but he only had one thought in his mind: ‘This girl is risking her life! ’

Why is this happening?

Why did the previous demonic power not require so much effort? Even if the mana left the main body, it could still exist for a long time?

Rosen was unclear before, but now he understands.

Because the Eleventh Dharma Ring is directly connected to the void outside the ring, it can even be said to be the void outside the ring!

Demons are native creatures born in the void outside the ring. Just like fish living in the sea, they are naturally fully adapted to the void environment.

Mortals are originally land creatures and should not live in the sea.

Now, Rosen wears a 'diving suit', builds an 'underwater oxygen supply system', and tries every means to dive into the sea. It's good to be able to live in the sea, but naturally he can't be as calm and comfortable as a fish.

what to do?

‘Laifu, have you learned how to do it? ! ’

Although maintaining various soul spells is very cumbersome, the void environment is not complicated. According to expectations, Laifu should be able to learn it quickly.

‘The preliminary study has been completed and the ability "Secret Technique of Burning Soul" has been obtained. ’

‘Start “Soul Burning Secret Technique” and run it in the background. ’

With this order, Laifu successfully took over Rosen's job.

To avoid accidents, Rosen himself did not stop the soul-burning secret method, but worked hard to maintain it while observing the operation of Laifu.

No one has ever stipulated that a soul can only activate one spiritual power pump.

Rosen's idea is simple: run two pumps at the same time to maintain redundancy.

Lest one of them breaks down and catches him off guard.

After checking it carefully, he found that the Laifu was running well, and the spiritual power obtained by the spiritual power pump was much more stable than his own, and he felt relieved.

‘Laifu, open another “Soul Burning Secret Technique” and run it in the background as well, but keep it running at the lowest power. ’

Laifu immediately complied.

Then, Rosen himself stopped the soul-burning secret method and began to focus on observing the operation of Laifu.

After watching it for a while, Rosen asked: ‘Laifu, how much computing power does it take to maintain the Soul Burning Secret Technique? ’

"Currently 25% of the computing power is needed."

This consumption is very astonishing, which means that Rosen's third-line operation ability has been hindered by the soul-burning secret method, and the Duke's puppet has taken over one line again, so he only has one line left.

But this is only temporary, because Laifu's total computing power has also improved.

"The soul has become much stronger. Has your strength finally improved?"

"The total computing power is increasing, and no limit to the increase has been found yet."

“Very good!”

Rosen carefully checked his mana strength and found that it had increased by about 20% compared to the peak of the tenth ring, and was still increasing at a considerable speed.

At the current rate, if no restrictions are imposed, it is estimated that the current base value can be increased by 5% per hour, and can be doubled in 20 hours!

This was so crazy that it even scared Rosen.

Now there is no limit to the magic circle, but there is a limit to life!

The mortal soul and the biological brain are completely integrated.

Once the life limit is exceeded, the brain may collapse.

The brain is too complex. Rosen has not studied it clearly at all. Naturally, there is no way to improve it, so he does not dare to take risks easily.

Furthermore, if the soul power rises too fast, it will also cause violent soul shocks and may even cause the soul to collapse.

‘Laifu, reduce the operating power of the spiritual power pump to maintain stable soul strength. After the soul shock disappears, continue to improve, but the improvement speed will be reduced to one percent of the current level. ’

'Continue to collect data and train the "Secret Technique of Burning Souls"'

Following this order, the soul gradually calmed down, and Rosen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He decided to be cautious and move forward step by step. Once he found that something was wrong, he would immediately stop moving forward.

As his soul stabilized, he calmed down and began to carefully feel the situation of the eleven magic rings.

Then I discovered a lot of changes.

‘The Eleven Dharma Ring is really empty, and it feels like it’s not at the top. ’

‘Looking down, you can actually overlook the Dharma Ring. ’

‘The Dharma Ring is not completely calm, and there will be various power ripples. ’

In the past, Rosen could vaguely feel this change, but it was not as clear as it is now, and the range of perception was not as wide as it is now.

The reason is simple, because he was within the Dharma Circle at that time.

When people are in the game, they will naturally be confused by those in power.

But now, he jumped out of the magic circle and looked down from the high place.

In the past, he could feel the fluctuations of the ring around him at most one thousand meters away, but now, he could overlook the fluctuations of more than ten kilometers.

As the strength of the soul increases, the overlooking range also increases, and the precision also increases.

He soon discovered that the ripples of the Dharma Ring appeared not too frequently, but not too little either.

Most of them are caused by mages casting spells, and the ripples are very small. A few are caused by changes in the natural environment, and the ripples are very large, and even cause the height of the magic ring to fluctuate quite significantly.

As he watched, Rosen understood.

‘By observing the ripples of the Dharma Ring, we can infer most of the scenes that happen in the mortal world, but not all. ’

‘To truly understand it, you need rich experience. This ability is very important, but it is impossible to understand everything with ordinary people’s brain power. ’

‘You have to train Laifu to see. ’

Just like the Earth, AI is trained to see various medical examination images. As long as the sample is large enough, the diagnostic level is much higher than what a doctor can see with the naked eye.

‘Those violent ripples should be caused by various natural events. It is possible to create some lucky people who can jump to higher levels more easily. ’

‘Some lucky people encounter severe fluctuations several times in a row, and then reach the high ring or even the super high ring all at once. ’

After understanding this, most of the pressure in Rosen's heart due to the demon outside the ring immediately dissipated.

‘Sure enough, the path of cultivation feels unfathomable before reaching it, but after reaching it, it feels just like that. ’

‘After entering the eleventh ring, I am still a mortal, just a mortal who has mastered the secrets of stronger magic. ’

But to say that cultivation has reached its peak?

That is not right.

Because the eleventh ring has no limit on the strength of the soul, no one knows how high it can be improved in the end.

‘How high is the endurance limit of the mortal body? ’

I don’t know, at least Rosen hasn’t encountered it yet.

In addition, this is just personal cultivation after all. Although it is very strong, it still cannot do without the support of the mortal world.

Just like the astronauts and divers in the previous life, they can go to the sky, the earth and the sea, but they are still mortals in essence, and they still have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and return to life.

After confirming that everything is normal, Rosen slowly opened his eyes, and his mind shook, and a ray of pure magic power appeared at his fingertips.

The magic power is pure and transparent, like a flowing heat wave.

After it appeared in the air, it immediately decayed into various magic energies, and did not exist stably like the power of the devil.

But in terms of mana strength, it is not much different from the ice-blue demon power of the past.

The reason is also clear, demons are native species of the void, and Rosen is an imitator of mortals.

But after all, it is the legendary mana of the eleventh ring, and there is a very obvious difference from the low-ring mana, that is, it is very delicate, easy to control, and free to do as one pleases.

Even the energy of medium and low-ring spells has a strong control, and can directly snatch the control of spells from medium and low-ring mages.

"Now, I am once again at the top of the spell, and I can focus on worldly power."

The Republic of Nahuat in Mediana's mouth is very powerful, perfect, and worthy of respect, but he doesn't need to learn it hard.

Because his legendary power relies on himself, not the cohesion of national beliefs.

In addition, his soul burning secret method is far from perfect, so the research will continue, but there is no need to race against time as before.

With a change of mind, Rosen disguised his mana, and what finally appeared was still the mana of the initial 8th ring.

This disguise was much more perfect than before, and could even deceive the demons in the void outside the ring.

Because at this moment, at least in terms of mana cultivation, both sides were at the same level.
