Chapter 531 The Ninth Ladder "Soul Master"

As the night fell, Nasir City was gently covered by a layer of deep darkness, as if the whole world was holding its breath, just to welcome the sacred moment that was about to happen.

Soft and warm light shone through the windows on both sides of the street, and each beam of light carried the endless expectations and devout prayers of the citizens of Nasir.

Although televisions have been invented, only a few people in the upper class can afford them, and most families in Nasir City still use radios or read newspapers to get information from the outside world.

At this moment, everyone in them knew one thing.

That is the "pillar" of the Fisher family, the legend of the Syat people, the strongest person in the Dawn Cult, the "God of Death" feared by all enemies...

That Mr. Chris Fisher is about to be promoted to the ninth step of the Long Steps of Ascension!

In fact, due to the popularity of knowledge, all people who are not blood recipients still only know the Long Steps of Ascension on the surface, and those core mysterious knowledge cannot be passed on.

However, that does not prevent everyone from praying for Chris.

For the people of Nasir City, they simply grew up listening to the heroic legends of Chris Fisher. The protection and worship of a "living saint" like him can even be said to be a kind of "political correctness". Anyone who dares to insult Chris will arouse public anger and the whole family will be at risk of death and injury.

Tonight, the hearts of all people in Nasir are closely connected to the upcoming ceremony.

They know that on the edge of the city, the legendary Chris Fisher is standing on the threshold of fate, ready to face an unprecedented soul trial.

This is not only a test for him personally, but also the hope of Nasir City and even the entire Syat!

There is an indescribable solemnity and tension in the air, even the breeze seems to become cautious. Citizens close their eyes and concentrate at home, silently praying for the strong man who is about to embark on the journey.

The bells of the Morning Cathedral built in the past thirty years echoed in the night sky, melodious and deep. Every impact seemed to be telling the legend of past heroes, and it seemed to be opening the ceremony tonight.

Although dinner was ready on the dining tables of every household, most people had no intention of enjoying it, as their minds had already drifted to Fisher.

The ninth step of the Path of Silence was called "Lord of the Soul".

In the sequence of the Path of Silence that has always been more inclined towards assassins, "Lord of the Soul" is a special sequence of the caster type.

The ceremony of promotion to "Lord of the Soul" is essentially a great test of the soul and spiritual power of the extraordinary.

The ceremony requires the extraordinary to delve into the mystery of the soul, master and control the power of the soul, so as to achieve a deep understanding and... control of the soul and consciousness.

At this moment, the people of the Fisher family have already arranged a soul trial ceremony venue in the Morning Cathedral in Nasir City according to the content of the oracle.

Chris stood in it, and next he needed to face his inner fear, desire and obsession.

Felix, Christine and others were watching him nearby, and then the ceremony finally began.

The trials appeared in the form of dreams, illusions, and mental attacks, and began to test Chris's willpower and his ability to control the power of his soul.

A series of bizarre scenes flashed before his eyes: sometimes he was in a battlefield burning with flames, surrounded by the wailing of his comrades and the grim smiles of his enemies; sometimes it turned into a peaceful and peaceful countryside with his family sitting around, but under that warmth were hidden unknown secrets and betrayals.

Every dream was so real that even most people could not tell whether it was a memory, fantasy, or reality in front of them. The waves of emotions stirred in his heart, constantly testing Chris's will and faith.

Just as Chris tried to break free from these disturbing dreams, the web of illusions quietly enveloped him.

The darkness around him suddenly became vivid, transforming into various forms: huge monsters roared and pounced, with sharp claws flashing coldly; beautiful women tempted him, and their words were full of sweet traps; and ancient wise men looked at him with deep eyes, asking one soul-piercing question after another.

Just as Chris was struggling with the illusion, an invisible force suddenly attacked him, which was the most direct mental attack. This force cut his consciousness like a sharp blade, trying to shatter his thoughts.

In pain and confusion, Chris felt as if the whole world was against him, and even his own thoughts were no longer under his control.

However, in the darkest moment, a hidden flame deep in his cold heart was ignited.

That was Chris's love for his family, loyalty to his friends, persistence in his beliefs, and desire for self-transcendence.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and built a spiritual barrier with strong willpower.

Deep in his heart, Chris heard his own voice:

"Hold on."

"Fischer... you are the only one who can carry it..."

Finally, the dream was broken, the illusion dissipated, and the mental attack receded like a tide.

When Chris opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a bright light, surrounded by soft light.

"It's morning, father."

Christine in the wheelchair breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that you have successfully passed the first trial of the ceremony. Do you want to start the second trial immediately?"

Chris just nodded quietly without saying anything.

After passing the spiritual test just now, Chris took out the Eternal Stone and began to merge it with his own spiritual power, greatly enhancing the spiritual power of the extraordinary.

Next, he closed his eyes and began to expand his consciousness to a wider dimension, the spiritual world, dreams and even the depths of other people's hearts.

If you don't have a deep understanding of the concept of "soul", you will never be able to perform this ritual. Only the truly strong can succeed.

After meeting the above conditions, Chris began the final soul-controlling ritual, completely integrating his spiritual power with soul power in silence, and using it as a medium to control and control the souls of others.

He began to guide the spiritual power in his body, which was surging but became docile and obedient under his will.

The soul is like a bright star, nourished by this power, becoming brighter and more tenacious.

The ceremony gradually reached its climax, and Chris's eyes suddenly opened, and two bright lights shot out of his eyes, straight into the sky, connecting with the stars.

The tearing sensation brought by the fusion of spirit and soul seemed to tear him into countless pieces!

Finally, he took a deep breath, and the whole person became light and elegant. The spiritual power and soul in his body were intertwined in a wonderful way, like a beautiful painting slowly unfolding in his consciousness.

In a deafening roar, Chris's spiritual power and soul were completely integrated, and a dazzling light burst out around his body, illuminating the entire church like daylight!

"The ceremony is completed!"

Everyone in the Fisher family was ecstatic. Chris completed the ceremony. As long as he offered the Eternal Stone as a sacrifice, he could step onto the ninth step of the long steps to the gods!

When the first ray of morning light penetrated the night, Nasir City ushered in a new dawn.

After a long and mysterious process of power granting, Chris's figure appeared unusually tall in the morning light, as if he had merged with the whole world, emitting an indescribable mysterious brilliance.

His eyes were like a deep ocean, calm and full of power. Every time he blinked, it seemed as if there were stars flashing in it, revealing his deeper understanding of the world.

The image of the ninth-level "Soul Master" in the spirit world is a gray old man surrounded by many souls.

His physical fitness and spiritual power are three times higher than those of the eighth-level. However, more important than simple numerical values ​​is the complete fusion of soul and spiritual power, which allows Chris's entire soul level to evolve.

His soul began to be more and more different from that of mortals.

There is no doubt that there is a reason why Apocalypse is also called the level of demigod. Now Chris's soul is more indestructible than his body!

As the "Soul Master", he also obtained a very powerful extraordinary characteristic "Soul Master". As long as enough spiritual power is consumed, any soul and the dead must obey the orders of the "Soul Master".

No matter how powerful that soul or the dead was in his lifetime, as long as they were not gods, they could not escape the control of the "Soul Master".

The disaster of the dead has ended for decades. If Chris now goes back to that time, I am afraid that he can easily solve the entire disaster, and all the dead will bow down at a glance.

People in Nasir City walked out of their homes and witnessed this scene, all of them were shocked and awed.

The temperament of Chris standing in the sky is no longer comparable to the past. It is a kind of existence that transcends the mundane and is close to the sacred!

"That is Mr. Chris of the Fisher family!"

"The great dawn, the great lost lord! He looks so sacred!"

The children stared at him with curiosity and awe, and the seeds of dreams were planted in their hearts. The adults bowed their heads to pay tribute. They knew that this strong man was the guardian of Nasir City and even the entire eastern part of the continent.

Soon, every corner of Siat and even the eastern part of the continent was discussing Chris's transformation.

At the same time, Chris of Nasir closed his eyes slightly, and he had clearly sensed something in his heart.

The remaining power of the gods finally dissipated completely...

The apocalypse legends of the Oden Continent, no, the entire Krad World, began to stir... People knew that the Fisher Family and the Dawn Cult were rapidly becoming powerful, and they must eliminate this group of terrible and difficult existences as soon as possible!
