Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 681 Xu Tianran: It hurts, it hurts so much!
The spear pierced through space, and the illusions that appeared in front of Jiang Ming vanished instantly like shattered mirrors.

But when Jiang Ming thrust his spear at him, the evil lord, who had already sensed the danger, had already left.

As a soul beast with 800,000 years of cultivation, its sense of danger is absolutely top-notch.

Even if Jiang Ming's shot doesn't kill him, it won't even seriously injure him. After all, his body, with its 800,000 years of cultivation, isn't so fragile that it can't withstand a single shot from Jiang Ming.

But at this critical juncture, he will not allow himself to get hurt again.

The 800,000-year tribulation is coming soon!
He might be confident of surviving this ordeal if he's at his peak, but if he has to face it injured, then things are really going to be very difficult.

This is why he came to hunt down Jiang Ming, wanting to get back the part of his lost spiritual power.

However, given Jiang Ming's current state, it's clearly unrealistic for him to recover by killing Jiang Ming and consuming his body.

This bastard claims to have just broken through to the level 95 Super Douluo, but his aura is even stronger than that of a human Limit Douluo!
In his current state, he can fight, but at most he'll be suppressed by Jiang Ming.

With 800,000 years of cultivation and bloodline abilities, even Di Tian didn't have the ability to kill him, let alone the human in front of him.

But he couldn't linger here any longer; it was clear that he couldn't recover his losses, so he had to cut his losses!
If the fight continues, he will suffer even more serious injuries, and his chances of facing the eight hundred thousand-year tribulation will become even slimmer.

withdraw!
As a spirit-type soul beast, Xie Jun was quite clever. When things became unfavorable, he wisely chose to retreat!

If we can't kill Jiang Ming, we can't recover our losses. We've already incurred sunk costs, and if we continue fighting, those sunk costs will undoubtedly be even greater.

We must cut our losses!

"Evil Gaze!"

The Evil Lord's enormous eye, three hundred meters long, instantly narrowed, dark light condensed, and a terrifying spiritual force shot out from its pupil, traversing space towards Jiang Ming.

boom!
It was as if a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball had been dropped into Jiang Ming's spiritual sea, causing endless waves to surge and showing signs of getting out of control.

If Jiang Ming were just a Super Douluo, his spiritual sea would have exploded right now!

Even at his peak, Elder Mu would have had a hard time blocking the full-force mental attack of a spirit beast with 800,000 years of cultivation.

The Sea of ​​the Spirit is the most vulnerable place for humans. For Soul Masters who do not possess a Spirit-type Martial Soul, the protection of their Sea of ​​the Spirit is more fragile than their own strength.

However, Jiang Ming wouldn't.

"town!"

The nine spirits transformed into nine pillars of strength, forcefully suppressing the collapsing sea of ​​spirit!
The other spiritual entities then stepped in to repair the spiritual sea, which showed signs of cracking.

With this assistance, Jiang Ming initially felt a splitting headache and his head was about to explode, but his condition improved considerably afterward.

When he recovered and looked at the Evil Lord again, he found that the Evil Lord had disappeared.

Or rather, the three-hundred-meter-long eyeball and the forty-nine enormous tentacles, each five hundred meters long, disappeared into the air.

Jiang Ming, with his keen eyesight, scanned his surroundings. His pupils contracted slightly as he spotted a figure with long, purplish-black hair.

Compared to the enormous body of the Evil Lord, this figure was only the size of a normal human, and its size difference made it easy to overlook.

But Jiang Ming was certain that it was the Evil Lord!
"Don't run away! Come back and fight me for hundreds of rounds!"

Jiang Ming shouted, and the cyan-purple Wind and Thunder Prison-Suppressing Wings behind him suddenly exerted their power, simultaneously using spatial teleportation to chase after the Evil Monarch who had transformed into human form.

This is nothing! He's only just warmed up! How can he let this guy get away!
"Golden Traction!"

Jiang Ming even used the Golden Guiding Soul Skill in an attempt to forcibly keep the Evil Lord there.

Feeling a tremendous force pulling at his body from behind, the evil lord, now in human form, looked extremely ugly.

"Human, don't go too far!"

With a furious roar, the Evil Lord unleashed his aura, and dark purple clouds rapidly surged from his body, covering half the sky in an instant and creating a ghostly scene.

"Excessive? Evil Lord, when you tried to take me as your slave using your spiritual form, didn't you think it was excessive? When you chased me here, didn't you think it was excessive?!"

The more Jiang Ming spoke, the stronger the murderous intent in his tone became.

If he hadn't had so many trump cards up his sleeve, he would have been certain to die in the face of that level of deadly attack!
You kill me, I kill you, that's fair!

"Bright sunshine!"

Jiang Ming raised his palm towards the sky, and a blazing, bright sun quickly condensed, its intense heat and dazzling light instantly occupying the other half of the sky.

After merging with Xiao Guang, Jiang Ming gained the ability to use the ultimate light. In addition, he himself possessed the inheritance of the Sun God and was tempered in the Sun God's fire for a year.

This little sun is almost entirely generated by mimicking the power of the sun. Even a soul master with a sun-themed martial soul might not be able to reach Jiang Ming's current level.

Endless light shines in the sky, its rays illuminate the mountains, dispel the darkness, and bring daylight back to the world!

"What, what's going on?"

"My God, it's already dawn? I just lay down in bed, how can it be dawn already?!"

"Wife, it's dawn. Why don't we just stop? It's not good to indulge in debauchery during the day."

"Screw you! If you can't do it, just say so. I'll do it myself."

"Who's no good? Who's no good! Today I'll show you what's what!"

The location of Qiankun Wenqing Valley was not far from Mingdu. The sun that Jiang Ming created almost instantly dispelled the darkness of Mingdu, leaving the residents of Mingdu drowsy.

Inside the palace, Xu Tianran, who had already lost his temper several times in the past few days, frowned deeply as he looked at the sun rising abruptly in the distance.

"That's... the Solar Martial Soul?"

Xu Tianran is very sensitive to the sun, after all, the inherited martial spirit of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family is the sun!
But he was certain that none of the royal family members with the Sun Martial Soul in the current royal family had reached this level of strength!

"That direction... is towards the Western Hills! Could it be the Holy Spirit Cult's doing something?"

Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, had told him about the mysterious place in the Western Hills. He said that even a Limit Douluo would have a hard time getting out if he didn't follow the rules.

However, Mingjiang did go in twice and gained enormous benefits.
The thought of Mingjiang made Xu Tianran's face darken.

One Mingjiang completely ruined his months-long plan to kill him! Not only that, he also lost several level nine soul masters! A set of Soul-Sealing Devouring Box containing four level nine peak soul tools and two and a half level ten soul tools, as well as those level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons!
pain!
It hurts so much!
For Xu Tianran, this was even more painful than having his own flesh cut off!

Xu Tianran quickly sent people to check on the situation in Xishan. Although they had suffered huge losses in the past few days, such an incident near Mingdu was something that required vigilance.

"By the way, Orange, has Elder Ye's comprehensive search of Mingdu yielded any results yet?" Xu Tianran took a deep breath, temporarily putting Mingjiang aside, and asked in a deep voice.

He had previously scolded the group of level-nine soul masters who had been tricked back by Jiang Ming in the palace, but he was actually quite scared afterward.

If Jiang Ming really did bury multiple level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells near the palace, then he would really go crazy!

It's true that the palace's defenses can withstand level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs; even a Limit Douluo cannot break through the palace's defenses.

But he can't stay in the palace forever!
If a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon explodes when he goes out one day, he'll be done for on the spot!
Therefore, even though he felt that Jiang Ming could not possibly have planted so many level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells in Mingdu, he was still just afraid of the worst-case scenario.

Xu Tianran didn't entrust this task to Kong Deming or Jing Hongchen. Perhaps Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were also deceived by Mingjiang, but he dared not gamble! So he could only send Ye Yulin to lead people to investigate the entire Mingdu.

He would not leave the palace until he was completely certain of his safety.

When Xu Tianran asked about this, Ju Zi replied softly, "Not yet. A simple investigation won't take long, but a thorough search of Mingdu is a huge undertaking. Mingdu is too big, and the investigation needs to go deep underground. It's a lot of work. Even Elder Ye would find it difficult to complete in a short time."

As the largest city in the Douluo Continent, Mingdu faces immense difficulty in conducting a thorough investigation!
The level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is only a little over a meter in size. This size is inconspicuous in a soul-guided box that can shield its aura. It is too difficult to thoroughly investigate it!

"Ugh"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran wanted to get angry, but could only sigh helplessly.

He was well aware of the difficulty, but how did he end up like this?

The level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was clearly a weapon of their Sun Moon Empire, a powerful tool in Xu Tianran's hands.

But why has this weapon now turned into something that threatens his own life?

"Jiang Ming! Ming Jiang! It's all because of those two!"

Xu Tianran said through gritted teeth.

A few months ago, he was still thinking of using this tournament as an opportunity to detain the participating teams from the major empires and then start a war!
But so far, none of the plans made so far have been successfully completed.

The plan was for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to win the competition and enhance the prestige of the Sun Moon Empire. However, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy failed to even make it into the top eight and was eliminated in the round-robin stage.

The plan to kill Jiang Ming failed. Despite using countless resources to kill Jiang Ming alone, they still failed. Instead, the storage of level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells and countless rare metal resources in Mingdu were stolen!
Even now, he himself is still threatened by level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!

Xu Tianran grew angrier the more he thought about it, and then, with a rush of blood to his head, he felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness!"

Ju Zi was startled and immediately tried to call for the imperial physician.

"No, I'm just consumed by anger."

Xu Tianran waved his hand and said, his face pale.

He took a deep breath, leaned back in his wheelchair, and looked at the dazzling light in the distance, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Orange, do you think I can still unify the continent?"

The light from the western mountains of Mingdu reached its zenith, overwhelmingly pressing down on the gray-black mist created by the evil lord.

The mist dissipated under the intense light and the scorching heat of the sun god, like winter snow meeting the warm sun of summer.

However, when the mist dissipated and the entire sky was bathed in light, the figure of the Evil Lord had already vanished.

“You run so fast!”

Jiang Ming slowly withdrew his power, somewhat unwilling.

He also wanted to have a real all-out battle with the Evil Lord to test the Evil Lord's strength and prepare for the seventh trial.

Although there are five years, figuring out the opponent's strength in advance can undoubtedly shorten that time.

Pity.

The sun disappeared, its light faded, and the sky was once again shrouded in night. The lingering aura of its terrifying power still remained in the space, but there was no one there anymore.

Those who came to investigate could only sense that a terrible battle had taken place here; just feeling the lingering echoes in the space made them tremble with fear.

Unbeknownst to them, one of the two sides that had just fought was in the nearby Qiankun Wenqing Valley.

Of course, they can't enter Qiankun Asking Love Valley; a special opening ceremony is required.

"how do you feel?"

Jiang Ming heard Dai Mubai's voice. Unlike other gods who didn't communicate much with their divine successors, Dai Mubai seemed to really enjoy talking to Jiang Ming.

"Not very good. It runs too fast. If I didn't have to stay here to guard them, I would have chased it straight into the Demon Forest!"

Jiang Yang said in a deep voice.

He had just genuinely considered chasing them all the way to the Demon Forest.

We might even be able to find the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters in the Demon Forest and destroy it together.

But he couldn't ignore the people who were trying to pass the test. This place was too close to Mingdu. If they were discovered by the people of the Sun Moon Empire when they successfully passed the test, it would be another great war.

"You've got guts! I admire you!"

Dai Mubai laughed heartily.

The God of War, he only fights!

"By the way, Ancestor Dai Mubai, there is one more thing I would like to ask you for a favor."

Jiang Ming suddenly seemed to remember something and released a person from the small world.

"Her martial soul has been corrupted by evil soul masters through some means. I've taken a look, and to restore her martial soul to normal, we need to use the Blue Silver Emperor to cause it to mutate a second time. Do you know where to find the Blue Silver Emperor? Or, you could talk to Tang San's ancestor; she is the current head of the Tang Sect."

Jiang Ming looked at Tang Ya in front of him and said in a deep voice.

He's been busy these past few days and hasn't had time to deal with Tang Ya's problem. Besides, he doesn't have any good solutions, so he can only use his life force to suppress the evil soul master's aura within Tang Ya's body.

However, now that we've arrived at Qiankun Wenqing Valley, and given that she possesses the Blue Silver Grass martial soul and is Tang Ya's current status as the Tang Sect's leader, perhaps the founder of the Tang Sect in Douluo Continent could directly intervene and resolve the situation.
