King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 451 - 451 446 The Limit of the Soul

Chapter 451: Chapter 446: The Limit of the Soul Chapter 451: Chapter 446: The Limit of the Soul “124!” Fiona, who had transformed into her green dragon form in the haste due to the turbulence of the Semi Plane, from inside the Mage Tower, her robust dragon claws tightly clasped onto the Mage Tower. She gazed up at Muria in the sky, her eyes seemingly dull.

Her worldview had been greatly shaken. The now embodiment of Muria, especially the still gradually increasing number of Soul Intent Circles behind him, caused her to question if she was in a dream and if everything before her eyes was real.

As the old dragon who has followed Muria for quite a while, she was certainly aware of his strength—each tier of his Soul Intent could condense twenty-four Soul Intent Circles.

This was a quantity that even true dragons found unimaginable. Normal creatures, even if they reached the Peak of Soul Intent, might not possess half of this quantity.

Muria, the descendant of the Dragon King she follows, once his strength reached the Peak of Soul Intent, would have 120 Soul Intent Circles. This was a fact she had begrudgingly accepted after much envy and jealousy.

She had thought that such an astonishing number was already Muria’s limit but to her surprise, she once again witnessed an increase in his Soul Intent Circles. This was an utterly inconceivable phenomenon, going against common sense.

Could the Soul Intent Circles increase again after reaching the Peak of Soul Intent? The answer was, of course, possible. Mortal power ultimately has its limits, but the existence of deities created infinite possibilities for the future of mortals.

Sacrificing to the deities and offering them tributes was the best way to increase Soul Intent Circles. The increase in the number of Soul Intent Circles would then depend on the level of the tribute and the strength of the deity receiving the sacrifice.

But even sacrificing to the deities to increase one’s Soul Intent Circles had its limits. The limit for humans was ten Soul Intent Circles at the First Tier, and even this was a miracle granted by the powerful deity.

Aspiring for more Soul Intent Circles would require the deity to consume some source power. But that was unthinkable as no deity was likely willing to do so.

Therefore, for Muria, it should have been impossible for his Soul Intent Circles to increase further. Even the intervention of a powerful deity would be futile, let alone the intervention of a great deity.

But the reality was that Muria had indeed broken his limit. The fact was right before Fiona’s eyes, leaving her no choice but to believe it.

No matter how the creatures residing within this Semi Plane felt at this moment, Muria was too busy to care. The only thing he was experiencing right now was pain!

The area of the Semi Plane expanded more than twofold. As the controller of this Semi Plane, Muria naturally received the largest benefits with immense and vast power pouring into his body.

This power first struck the Legendary Barrier of Muria, frantically smashing against it like a tidal wave against a majestic mountain. The barrier shook off a few loose rocks but remained undisturbed.

When Muria realised that breaking the Legendary Barrier was hopeless, he started to channel this power into his limbs and body, infusing it into his physical form and soul. This power not only strengthened his body but also increased his strength.

What is the final evolution of a Semi Plane? It is a Plane, complete with perfect rules where all creatures can multiply freely. The power that comes from the nurturing of a Semi Plane is a high-grade power that only the mage possessing a Semi Plane can harness. It is the power of a broken world.

Although this power is inferior to the source power, it was still capable of pushing Muria to exceed his limits slightly.

Having personally witnessed the Shattering of the Abyss and the material manifestation of World Law’s light when the Semi Plane was taking shape, Muria received many pieces of information that were beyond his current understanding.

However, upon seeing the radiance given off by the merging Semi Plane and the stream of runes deliberately revealed by the Golden Dragon Mother, Muria managed to comprehend a portion of the Law’s data.

Parts of this comprehension were directly reflected on the new Soul Intent Circle forming behind Muria. It symbolised his power and his understanding of the World Law.

Under the gaze of the giant dragons, humans, Zor Elves, and giants in the Semi Plane, the 125th Soul Intent Circle behind Muria was forming.

Bright thunderfires surrounded him, hurricanes howling between heaven and earth. There were scorching Dragon Flames burning within it while Muria, who was in the middle of it all, felt as if he was about to explode and die. A sensation of being torn apart was spreading out from all over his body.

Muria knew that these were all illusions. His body was capable of withstanding the impact of this power and wouldn’t explode and die. Furthermore, he had the support of the Saintly Imperial Abyss and the likelihood of his body bursting was non-existent.

The agony originated from his soul and not his body. The source of this pain was the number of Soul Intent Circles Muria possessed at the moment, which was putting a huge burden on his soul.

“I haven’t reached my limit yet!” Muria clenched his teeth, light gold blood seeping out from his gums before quickly healing.

When he began to gather the 121st Soul Intent Circle, he had a sudden realization. 120 Soul Intent Circles were not the true limit of his soul. He could gather more and achieve higher in the future.

That was why Muria was still insisting on gathering Soul Intent Circles despite the agony that made him feel as if his soul was about to shatter and crumble. If he missed this opportunity, there wouldn’t be another one.

An opportunity is called thus because it comes by chance and can’t be forced. Although Muria’s process of obtaining and merging the three Semi Planes seemed easy, that was because his parents had borne all the risks, allowing him to reap the rewards without worries.

Muria felt that if he couldn’t maximize the benefits brought by the Semi Plane, he would have failed his parents’ sacrifice. They had already done their best for him. Did he have any reason to slack off?

“Heh!” The intense pain made Muria let out a low growl, his face slightly distorted with pain. Luckily, due to the concealment of the thunderfires, almost no one saw him in such a sordid state from below.

“126…127…” Blue veins bulged out on Muria’s face. The thunderfires circling around him became thicker, and the Dragon Flames burned brighter, gradually spreading out and covering the expanded Semi Plane’s sky.

“128!” As the brand-new eighth Soul Intent Circle appeared behind Muria, intense pain that Muria could barely bear came over him, making it increasingly difficult for him to stay conscious.

Accompanied by a barely audible dragon roar, for the first time since birth, Muria’s consciousness did not willingly succumb to the darkness. Amid countless cries of shock, Muria’s body fell from the sky…
