Chapter 569: So This Is the Essence of Leveling Up by Fighting Monsters
Shu Lin Mo Yu sat motionless for two whole days. His immense mental power gradually spread to various nodes through the large formation beneath him.
The formation was interconnected, and Lin Mo Yu used his mental power as a bridge to connect all the formation nodes.
This was an enormous formation, with over 500 nodes distributed throughout the Shenxia Empire.
Once activated, the entire Shenxia Empire would be covered by the formation, leaving no blind spots except for a few places. On this day, the camp, which had been bustling for over a month, suddenly became quiet. The healing formations were uniformly dismantled, and all personnel evacuated.
More than 500,000 people collectively left.
Meng Anwen, who had been busy for over a month, appeared in the air, accompanied by the high-ranking officials of the Shenxia Empire.
They all had serious expressions, as the grand plan they had prepared for over a month was about to begin. Meng Anwen’s voice rang out clearly, "Xiaoyu, you just need to control the formation, leave the rest to us." Lin Mo Yu nodded, "Okay!"
With a single word, the plan began.
A Shenxia Tower appeared above Meng Anwen’s head, instantly becoming enormous, standing between heaven and earth. Meng Anwen slapped the Shenxia Tower with his palm, and the tower burst into seven-colored light, covering the land. The ground lit up immediately.
A grand and magnificent formation appeared on the ground, with formation symbols carved everywhere within a ten-mile radius.
The dense formation lines were enough to make one dizzy with just a glance.
At this moment, the formation operated, and seven-colored rays of light shot into the sky, reflecting with the Shenxia Tower.
Meng Anwen personally activated the Soul Fusion Formation, with Lin Mo Yu at the center, becoming the main person of the formation.
All the information of the formation was imprinted into Lin Mo Yu’s mental world at this moment.
"Soul Fusion Formation, activate!"
With a light shout from Lin Mo Yu, seven-colored rays of light shot into the sky, then exploded in the air, turning into countless sharp arrows flying in all directions.
Immediately, the nodes of the large formations scattered throughout the Shenxia Empire lit up, blooming with brilliant light.
In the blink of an eye, a grand formation appeared in Lin Mo Yu’s mental world.
Along with the formation, the entire map of the Shenxia Empire appeared.
The formation covered the Shenxia Empire, and as the main person of the formation, Lin Mo Yu, through the power of the formation, saw the entire Shenxia Empire.
At this moment, he was like a supreme deity, looking down at the empire.
In the formation, countless light spots appeared, densely packed.
Each light spot represented a Soul Devouring Beast, indicating a Shenxia person parasitized by a Soul Devouring Beast.
In some places, the light spots had already formed light clusters, with too many Soul Devouring Beasts and too many parasitized people.
The number exceeded 2 million.
Lin Mo Yu was slightly surprised, as this number far exceeded his expectations.
Originally, the estimated number of Soul Devouring Beasts was around 1 million.
Unexpectedly, it now exceeded 2 million.
A thousand years ago, the Soul Devouring Beast was called a disaster for a reason.
But this time, they were well-prepared to turn the disaster into an opportunity.
"Soul Grinding Disk, out, Soul Devouring Beasts, perish!"
With a thought from Lin Mo Yu, the formation changed, entering its second form.
A huge grinding disk appeared in the sky above the Shenxia Empire, visible from anywhere within the empire.
The grinding disk slowly rotated, emitting a piercing grinding sound.
Countless people felt a sharp pain in their heads simultaneously, followed by a series of wails.
The sound was like ghostly cries, the screams of the Soul Devouring Beasts before their death.
The Soul Fusion Formation’s Soul Grinding Disk was the ultimate weapon against the Soul Devouring Beasts.
Its appearance signaled the end of the Soul Devouring Beasts.
A large number of Soul Devouring Beasts died, turning into vast soul energy flowing into the Soul Grinding Disk.
The Soul Grinding Disk grew stronger, its power increasing.
More and more Soul Devouring Beasts were exterminated, and the soul energy became almost visible to the naked eye.
In Lin Mo Yu’s perspective, countless soul energies flowed like light bands towards the Soul Grinding Disk. The Soul Grinding Disk was not just a weapon but also a container.
Lin Mo Yu manipulated the formation at will, launching a deadly attack on all the Soul Devouring Beasts within the Shenxia Empire.
Under the formation’s cover, none could escape.
Meng Anwen and others guarded the four directions, firmly protecting Lin Mo Yu in the center.
At this moment, no one was allowed to disturb them.
Even Ye Hao and his group, who were usually at odds with them, were unusually quiet this time, not even asking what was happening, let alone daring to interfere.
After all, they were also people of the Shenxia Empire, and when the empire was truly in trouble, they would undoubtedly stand on the side of the Shenxia Empire.
From the activation of the formation to the grinding of the Soul Devouring Beasts by the Soul Grinding Disk, everything went smoothly.
But the smoother it went, the more vigilant everyone became, not daring to relax in the slightest.
A large number of Soul Devouring Beasts within the empire were exterminated, and the Soul Grinding Disk had grown several times larger than initially, filled with soul energy.
The soul energy was dazzling, like liquid precious gems flowing in the Soul Grinding Disk.
"One-third left..."
"No more waiting!"
According to the original plan, they needed to wait until all the Soul Devouring Beasts were exterminated before guiding out the soul energy.
But Lin Mo Yu didn’t want to wait any longer; he had a feeling that if they waited any longer, there might be an accident. While controlling the Soul Grinding Disk to continue grinding the Soul Devouring Beasts, he began extracting the soul energy from the disk. A large amount of pure soul energy was first drawn into his body as the main person of the formation. As the main person, all soul energy had to pass through him before flowing out.
Lin Mo Yu’s soul began to grow.
Originally, Lin Mo Yu’s soul had been continuously strengthened, with the Divine Stone of the Domain constantly tempering his soul with the Charm Blue Fire.
Lin Mo Yu’s soul was already very pure.
However, Lin Mo Yu knew that the Charm Blue Fire brought purity to his soul, enhancing its upper limit.
If his soul was compared to a container, the Charm Blue Fire had enlarged, widened, and deepened the container, increasing its capacity.
His container had already grown much larger, but some parts were still empty, not yet filled.
And now, the soul energy from the exterminated Soul Devouring Beasts became the filling.
A large amount of soul energy flowed through the formation, and Lin Mo Yu shivered, his soul feeling as if it had fallen into a pool of celestial water, becoming extremely clear.
[Influenced by external forces, experience +**]

[Influenced by external forces, experience +**]
A lot of information popped up, and the experience began to grow rapidly.
Lin Mo Yu was slightly surprised; he didn’t expect that absorbing soul energy would not only strengthen his soul but also increase his experience.
A strong soul, clear thoughts.
Lin Mo Yu had a flash of inspiration, feeling as if he had grasped something.
"Could it be... the essence of leveling up is to enhance the soul?"
"Gaining experience by killing monsters and leveling up is essentially about soul power."
"The higher the level, the stronger the soul. Conversely, the stronger the soul, the higher the level."
"Why can Jiang Yi create a secret realm and survive for hundreds of years with just his soul?"
"Why can a soul mark revive someone after death?"
"I seem to understand a bit."
With the continuous infusion of soul power, Lin Mo Yu’s thoughts became unprecedentedly clear.
Things that he couldn’t understand before were now crystal clear.
He had a feeling of great enlightenment.
The soul energy kept pouring in, and the experience soared.
From the moment he started absorbing soul energy, in just one minute, Lin Mo Yu was enveloped in the light of leveling up.
He smoothly leveled up from level 66 to level 67.
The experience continued to surge.
Lin Mo Yu knew very well that his soul’s upper limit was already very high, and now, as long as there was enough soul energy, he could keep leveling up.
Normally, leveling up by killing monsters and gaining experience was actually about gaining soul energy.
If this soul energy was given to others, it would not only increase their level but also passively enhance the essence of their soul, raising their soul’s upper limit.
This was why the soul power of the Soul Devouring Beasts could create a batch of geniuses.
"It really is a great opportunity."
"But just relying on a small number of Soul Devouring Beasts to create geniuses would at most make them god-level."
"Wanting to surpass god-level is impossible, even half-step surpassing god-level is difficult."
"To elevate the soul to a half-step surpassing god-level, the required soul energy is probably immeasurable." Lin Mo Yu’s thoughts became clearer, and things he didn’t understand before were now understood.
This soul energy could help Meng Anwen and others enhance the essence of their souls, raising their soul’s upper limit, allowing them to reach higher levels.
The Soul Grinding Disk continued to grow, and Lin Mo Yu’s speed of absorbing soul energy couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the disk exterminated the Soul Devouring Beasts and obtained energy.
After another two minutes, Lin Mo Yu was once again enveloped in the light of leveling up.
He leveled up again, from level 67 to level 68.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
A pitch-black space-time tunnel appeared with a roar!
