Shi Feng could not help his shock and astonishment as he looked at the silver mist swirling in his mind. Countless faint dots of light flickered within the mist, mesmerizing as the Milky Way.
Magic arrays in God's Domain were generally made up of Mana. However, there were also some magic arrays that were not made up of just Mana. Instead, they were made up of other elements.
Meanwhile, the magic array before him was one of those elements.
"I never thought that the rumored Soul Magic Array would actually exist!" Shifeng revealed a rare hint of excitement as he observed the silver mist swirling in his mind.
He had only heard of Soul Magic Arrays in the past. He had never actually seen one before.
According to rumors, Soul Magic Arrays were capable of transforming players. Of course, there were also rumors of Soul Magic Arrays capable of devouring players.
However, there was one thing that he was certain of.
That was, Soul Magic Arrays could enhance players' souls, just like how NPCs' souls were enhanced.
Logically, such a thing should be impossible for players. However, the Soul Magic Array had turned the impossible into a possibility. It could allow experts with average talent to grow into giants in God's Domain, just a hair's breadth away from reaching Tier 6.
Although the rumors about Soul Magic Arrays in the outside world were merely a show of modesty on the part of these giants. Even without Soul Magic Arrays, these giants could still become giants in God's Domain. Hence, players in God's Domain treated these rumors as a joke.
Now, however, Shi Feng had actually seen it for himself.
Of course, if players had not reached the Advanced Magic Array Realm, they would most likely find it very difficult to discover this Soul Magic Array. At most, they would treat it as a special Soul Imprint.
"Fortunately, I discovered it early. If I had waited a few more days, I would've lost this opportunity." Shifeng breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw the silver mist swirling around the Soul Magic Array fading.
The Soul Magic Array before him used souls and Mana as its energy source. While it was easy to replenish Mana, it was not easy to replenish souls. Hence, the Soul Magic Array could only last for a short time.
Of course, as long as this Soul Magic Array lasted, the Faux Saint monsters would be able to detect his presence. This was a blessing in disguise.
Thinking up to this point, the Shifeng couldn't help but start studying the Soul Magic Array in his mind.
The Soul Magic Array in his mind had only been imprinted into his mind. The magic array itself hadn't been activated. If he wanted to display the Soul Magic Array's true effect, he would have to activate the magic array. Otherwise, the Soul Magic Array would only give him more thoughts. It wouldn't be able to improve his soul at all.
Sure enough, this Soul Magic Array isn't simple. I can already sense over 40 Master Magic Arrays, not to mention over a dozen Advanced Master Magic Arrays and three Magic Arrays that are only a hair's breadth away from reaching the Grandmaster rank. Meanwhile, activating this Soul Magic Array requires the user's willpower to guide it. The slightest mistake will result in the user's soul being devoured. Could this Soul Magic Array be called a magic array that devours players? Shifeng was astonished after observing the Soul Magic Array for half an hour.
Souls were nothingness. They were indescribable existences, not to mention increasing or decreasing them. Yet, the Milky Way magic array before him was capable of doing so. It was simply unbelievable.
But that was fine.
The truly troublesome part was the price to pay to activate the Soul Magic Array. It was like taking a step from heaven to hell.
If an ordinary expert player were in his shoes, they wouldn't hesitate to try activating the Soul Magic Array. After all, the losses were negligible compared to the gains. After all, even if he lost a Tier 3 class, he wouldn't lose too much. However, at Shi Feng's level, the difference between losses and gains was completely different.
With his current combat standards, as long as he didn't challenge the Soul Magic Array, he wouldn't have any problems getting promoted to Tier 5. However, if his soul were permanently damaged, reaching Tier 5 would become a real problem. After all, the further one progressed in tiers, weapons, equipment, and Bloodline would become secondary.
Should I give up? Shifeng hesitated as he looked at the Soul Magic Array in his mind.
Activating a Soul Magic Array was different from activating an ordinary magic array. This Soul Magic Array directly affected his soul, and he only had one chance to activate it. If he activated it incorrectly, it would devour his soul. Only after activating it fully would he be able to improve his soul.
No, wait! There's still a chance!
After hesitating for a moment, Shifeng suddenly thought of a possibility. He then took out the Damaged Augustus's Heart from his bag.
An opportunity to improve a player's soul was extremely rare. If he succeeded, not only would he have a much easier time challenging his Tier 4 Promotion Quest, but he would also have a much easier time challenging his Tier 4 Promotion Quest. The Soul Magic Array would be even more helpful than Legendary Equipment. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity.
However, there were two ways to successfully activate a Soul Magic Array.
The first method was to familiarize himself with the Soul Magic Array. However, the Soul Magic Array was simply too complex. Even if he had ten days, he wouldn't be able to fully understand it, much less a few days.
The second method was to improve a player's mental state, which would allow him to guide the Soul Magic Array more accurately.
While these two methods might be difficult for others, they weren't impossible for Shi Feng.
The Damaged Augustus's Heart, an Inferior Upgrade Material, would release Eternal Energy when used. Eternal Energy was many times more powerful than Mana, and it could improve a player's mental state to its peak. At that time, whether he wanted to familiarize himself with the Soul Magic Array or guide the Soul Magic Array with his mental state, both methods would be of great help.
With this method, his chances of successfully activating the Soul Magic Array would increase significantly. He would no longer have to worry about his life.
The only downside was that the Damaged Augustus's Heart had a Cooldown of three months.
Of course, there was also a way to complete the Cooldown immediately. The only way was to use a Shenjing Pill. However, for an opportunity to improve one's soul, using a Shenjing Pill was worth it.
Following which, Shifeng took out one of the few Shenjing Pills he had on hand and inserted it into the Augustus's Heart. He then began activating the Soul Magic Array inside the Heart.
Immediately, purple mist flowed out of the Augustus's Heart and entered Shifeng's body. Shifeng felt refreshed, and his mind became clear and calm. It was as if everything in the world had become much simpler.
"Good! Let's begin! "
Shifeng took a deep breath as he looked at the Soul Magic Array in his mind. He then began studying the magic array.
Two hours …
Four hours …
Six hours …
Normally, Shi Feng would've needed several days, or even a dozen days, to fully understand the Soul Magic Array. However, in just a little over seven hours, not only had he familiarized himself with the array, but he had also gained a vague understanding of one of the Soul Magic Arrays, which allowed him to control souls slightly and was only a step away from becoming a Grandmaster.
Now that I've familiarized myself with the Soul Magic Array, I'll just have to use my willpower to guide it! Shifeng grew slightly nervous as he looked at the familiar Soul Magic Array in his mind.
Although he was already familiar with the Soul Magic Array, actually guiding it was an entirely different matter. After all, the Soul Magic Array required him to divide his willpower into several parts to guide it simultaneously.
Following which, Shifeng rested for a few minutes before starting to guide the Soul Magic Array in his mind with his willpower.
One Soul Magic Array successfully activated …
Two Soul Magic Arrays successfully activated …
Three Soul Magic Arrays successfully activated …
As Shifeng continued to activate the Soul Magic Array, the difficulty of activating the Soul Magic Array also increased. His willpower had also split from the initial three parts to six parts. Fortunately, this was not a difficult task for experts like Shifeng. As a result, the activation of the Soul Magic Array proceeded in an orderly manner.
Time passed quickly. Without realizing it, more than 20 minutes had passed in the outside world. Sweat dripped down Shifeng's forehead, soaking his light armor.
"Last one!"
At this moment, the 17 parts of Shifeng's willpower converged on the final Soul Magic Array, the core magic array Shifeng was most familiar with.
Peng!
Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed in his mind.
The instant the final core magic array was completed, it shattered. The rest of the magic arrays shattered as well, creating a chain effect like dominoes.
For a time, the several streams of silver mist surrounding the Soul Magic Array exploded as the Soul Magic Array shattered, transforming into countless streams of dazzling light that flowed into Shifeng's mind …
"It's a success?"
Shifeng was momentarily stunned when he saw this scene in his mind.
