Chapter 458: Abyssal Pool of Reincarnation
When breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, a cultivator shatters his Golden Core and condenses the pure energy inside it into a Nascent Soul.
Whereas in the Soul Transformation Realm, the Nascent Soul undergoes a transformation, evolving into a Divine Soul, which is often described as the cultivator’s true self or Dao Soul.
Those who reached this level are considered half-immortals because their souls were powerful enough to leave their bodies.
As for the reason why they are called half-immortals, it is because these Souls could create their own bodies using some special resources.
Of course, it is a very costly process that involves not just money but risk.
Although the names of the cultivation realms for the Humans and the Undead Beings might be different, the essence was the same, just the element was different.
Like how their Nascent Souls turn into Divine Souls, the Undead Beings would transform their Nether Souls into Abyssal Souls.
Since the Green Corpse Emperor ascended to the Undead Emperor Realm, which was equivalent to the Soul Transformation Realm, he obviously had an Abyssal Soul which escaped the moment Ethan repeatedly killed him.
’I thought through repeatedly killing him back to back, his soul would crumble.’
Ethan was expecting that there was no way the Abyssal Soul of the Green Corpse Emperor would survive after dying five times back to back.
Actually, Ethan’s assumptions were not wrong, and anyone who dies back to back within such a short span would severely damage their Divine Soul so much so that it would crumble.
However, the Green Corpse Emperor was not a regular Undead Emperor but an Apostle of the Undead God, and Ethan underestimated the benefits of being an Apostle.
