Magic Awl Forbidden Spell

## About

It’s a forbidden spell that cultivates an Essence Soul weapon. It is the strongest mystic technique in the Heart Sea Palace, second only to the Essence Soul Star. Seniors that had cultivated the Essence Soul Star formulation gave advice to their juniors to cultivate this spell together with Essence Soul Star. (Chapter 384)

## Description

This forbidden spell was to cultivate an Essence Soul weapon-Magic Awl! It was called a forbidden spell because one needed to consume some of their Essence Soul foundation to cultivate it. Using ten percent of one’s Essence Soul foundation for cultivation didn’t have much of an impact.

The negative effects showed when more than ten percent of one’s Essence Soul foundation was used. The defensive properties of one’s Essence Soul Star began to decline, and the speed at which one’s Essence Soul improved would constantly decrease.

It’s suggested by seniors who had also cultivated Essence Soul Star that one should cultivate the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell. The Magic Awl Forbidden Spell and the Essence Soul Star are the most compatible. They are extremely effective against enemies.

## Ability

With the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell, one can abandon Starlight. It’s suggested to spend more time on the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell.

If one used 30% of their Essence Soul foundation to cultivate it, they would have a chance of killing a sixth-level Essence Soul despite having a fifth-level Essence Soul. An enemy with weaker willpower would have their minds go blank upon being attacked. They would be unable to resist at all. Sixth-level Essence Soul experts with stronger willpower would also suffer a huge loss in strength, barely able to unleash 20 to 30 percent of their strength. This was a high-level Essence Soul weapon! All the experts of the human Essence Soul lineage respected it.

When more than 30% of one’s Essence Soul foundation was used, it resulted in severe consequences such as the loss of memories and the drop in perceptivity. However, this forbidden spell was extremely powerful! After cultivating the Magic Awl with just ten percent of one’s Essence Soul foundation, it was comparable to a beam of Starlight. A fifth-level Essence Soul could even injure a sixth-level Essence Soul with it, reducing the strength of the sixth-level Essence Soul. Of course, the attack easily backfired. If the Magic Awl failed to pierce through an enemy’s Essence Soul, it would be damaged to the point of destruction. However, it was extremely effective at piercing an enemy’s Essence Soul.

Some even wanted to use 30% of their Essence Soul foundation to cultivate it. They combined the Essence Soul mystic technique with their head-on combat techniques; they were virtually invincible.

## Flaw

The flaw of this forbidden spell was that cultivating a Magic Awl would place one’s Essence Soul foundation in a damaged state for prolonged periods. For example, using 30% of one’s Essence Soul foundation to cultivate the Magic Awl would force one’s Essence Soul to stay at 70% efficiency for a long period of time. The improvement of one’s Essence Soul would be very slow, and their defense would be much weaker.

It’s really a double-edged sword. It hurts the enemy and oneself. Furthermore, the refinement method of this Essence Soul weapon requires time to study it. At the very least, it’s no less difficult than the Essence Soul Star for anyone below the Tribulation realm.
