Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 852 Inexhaustible Resources!

The sound of Jiang Ming's soul power surging within his body was turbulent and powerful. As the primal power contained within the soul rings poured into the two soul cores like the Yellow River flowing into the sea, frantically accelerating the rotation of the two soul cores, a surge of soul power that had been tempered, compressed, and made extremely solid by the soul cores also burst out from the soul cores like a ferocious beast being released from its cage!

Rumble!
The soul power surging out from the soul core, guided by Jiang Ming, rushed towards the bottleneck of level ninety-eight with incredible speed and unstoppable momentum!

Generally speaking, when trying to break through a cultivation bottleneck, one should first test it little by little, making the bottleneck shake and estimating the force required for the breakthrough. Only after several attempts, when the bottleneck is on the verge of collapse, should one break through it in one go!

But Jiang Ming clearly didn't have that in mind.

He's going to charge straight in!
The primal power within the million-year soul ring generated by the Evil Monarch was simply too immense!
It's so massive that he doesn't just want to reach level 98 anymore.

He's going to break through the bottleneck of level 99 along with it!
If we can break through the level 98 bottleneck in one go, the remaining power of this soul ring should be enough to break through the level 99 bottleneck without any problem.

With a deep, muffled sound emanating from Jiang Ming's body, the assault on the level 98 bottleneck began.

The bottleneck at level ninety-eight was even more solid than Jiang Ming had imagined; the first wave of accumulated soul power could not break through it directly.

But it doesn't matter, the soul power is constantly surging out from the soul core. Right now, the last thing he lacks is energy!

Rush!
Let's go again!

Jiang Ming was completely focused on breaking through the bottleneck and was oblivious to the outside world.

This state is extremely dangerous, as it can easily be interrupted or even result in a powerful backlash from the power of the spirit rings if one is not careful.

But Jiang Ming wasn't worried, because the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and his wives were all around him.

Even for a Limit Douluo, it wouldn't be an easy task to break through the protection of these people and influence him.

While Jiang Ming was using the million-year soul ring to break through the bottleneck of level 98, the powerful figures who had retreated a hundred miles away returned one after another.

They knew Shrek Academy really had a backup plan! They weren't worried at all that the Evil Lord would self-destruct.

If the Evil Lord were to successfully self-destruct, he would undoubtedly do so when the Heavenly Tribulation of 800,000 years arrives and his aura is able to break through the ice mountain seal.

That was the most opportune time.

If you wait until after that opportune moment to self-destruct and drag everyone down with you, the probability of that happening will be greatly reduced.

Even so, even after seeing the tribulation clouds in the sky dissipate, they were still uneasy and waited in place for quite a while. Even after seeing that golden divine light descend from the sky, they still waited for a period of time before daring to come over, only after confirming that the situation was truly calm.

When they returned and saw the black-gold spirit ring rising from the Evil Lord's enormous body, their eyes were filled with astonishment.

"This is a black-gold spirit ring? Spirit rings of this color exist?"

They had considered how shocking the Evil Lord's spirit ring would be, after all, it was a genuine spirit beast overlord.

They were already mentally prepared to see a blood-red spirit ring with an extremely fierce aura, and they were ready to be shocked and stunned by the imagined blood-red spirit ring.

But what appeared before them was a black and gold spirit ring!

They had seen golden spirit rings before; Jiang Ming had one, and his eighth spirit ring was golden, though it leaned more towards platinum.

However, the soul ring that appeared on the Evil Lord's body was filled with darkness and evil aura, but also possessed a terrifying, abyss-like divine power.

Compared to the holiness and purity of the platinum spirit ring, the aura released by this black gold spirit ring is even more terrifying.

"Sect Leader Ning, stop."

Ning Jie wanted to take a closer look at this rare, and arguably unprecedented, spirit ring.

But as soon as they got a little closer, Elder Xuan called out to them.

Things are different now than they were before.

There was basically nothing to worry about when the heavenly tribulation descended, because under the heavenly tribulation, all living beings are equal.

If someone rushed in and attacked Jiang Ming at that time, let alone whether Jiang Ming would slap them to death, even a heavenly tribulation could strike them dead!

But now that the heavenly tribulation has dissipated, Jiang Ming now needs to focus all his energy on absorbing this terrifying million-year soul ring.

In this situation, even if Ning Jie is a support-type Soul Master, and even if the relationship is very close, he cannot be allowed to get close.

"clear."

Upon hearing Elder Xuan's voice, which carried a hint of warning, Ning Jie immediately snapped out of his daze and stopped in his tracks.

As he came to his senses, a hint of lingering fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at the black and gold spirit ring.

As the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, he had cultivated the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to an extremely profound level. Coupled with his ability to deal with people, how could he not know that one should never get close when others are absorbing soul rings?

But just now, when he saw that black and gold spirit ring, he just wanted to go over and take a look, he just wanted to get closer and see it more clearly.
Clearly, he was affected by this spirit ring!

But this is just a spirit ring! How can it have such a terrifying effect!

In fact, it wasn't just Ning Jie; Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina, who had been staying there, were also initially affected by this black-gold spirit ring.

Compared to Ning Jie, their willpower is clearly weaker.

Fortunately, they were being watched by someone, and as soon as they showed any unusual behavior, an elder forcibly woke them up and kept them in place.

On the other side, Tianyang Douluo also returned with the prince of the Douling Empire.

When Tianyang Douluo saw this black and gold spirit ring, he was shocked.

While he was still in shock, the prince of the Douling Empire seemed to be controlled by something and unconsciously walked towards the location of the black and gold spirit ring.

But just as he walked over, Old Song's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Go back."

Old Song's voice was filled with coldness, and his aged eyes exuded a menacing aura, as if he were about to strike and kill someone at any moment!
The prince of the Douling Empire, who had been tempted by the black and gold spirit ring, instantly came to his senses. He subconsciously looked up and met Elder Song's eyes.

The sharp light seemed to pierce his heart and will, causing his body to fall to the ground. He even frantically clawed at the ground with his hands and feet, pushing himself backward.

Upon seeing this, Tianyang Douluo immediately grabbed his prince by the collar and forcibly lifted him up.

Although he was disappointed in this prince, with so many people present, this guy represented the face of the Douling Empire! He couldn't let this guy completely disgrace the Douling Empire. Even if it meant changing the emperor's heir, he'd have to wait until they got back.

"Everyone, those of you who wish to observe from here, please be quiet and keep a safe distance. If you interfere with Jiang Ming's absorption of the spirit ring, we will not hold back!"

As Elder Mu took a step forward, the terrifying pressure of the Dragon God Douluo instantly crushed everyone.

Di Tian and Niu Tian didn't feel anything; in terms of strength, they were both stronger than Elder Mu now.

However, for others, even for a super Douluo powerhouse like Titan with a strength of level 98, the pressure released by the Dragon God Douluo could bring immense pressure!
As for the rest, there's not much to say; they are far inferior to the Limit Douluo.

Moreover, as Elder Mu released his pressure, the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Zhang Lexuan and others, also released their own pressure.

In an instant, apart from the area around Jiang Ming, the surrounding area was crushed by a terrifying aura.

The pressure from this aura was immense, almost completely negating the allure of the black-gold spirit ring.

Just as Elder Mu was leading everyone in releasing their aura to intimidate the crowd, Jiang Ming, after three consecutive attacks, finally broke through the bottleneck of level ninety-eight.
Broken!

boom!
Because he was breaking through to a higher realm, Jiang Ming did not conceal his aura, which caused the terrifying energy fluctuations generated by the breakthrough to instantly erupt in all directions!
"retreat!"

Upon sensing this terrifying energy fluctuation, Elder Mu immediately erected a soul power shield to resist it.

The other elders also retreated further outwards while simultaneously gathering their soul power shields.

"This is... a breakthrough in cultivation?!"

Elder Xuan sensed the surging energy fluctuations and immediately understood what had happened.

This is the energy surge generated after a breakthrough in cultivation!
However, the energy surge generated by Jiang Ming's breakthrough to level 98 was far more powerful than when he first broke through to level 98!
"Everyone, please don't gather here. Xuanzi, Xiao Song, Xiao Lin, and Le Xuan, the four of you stay here with me to protect Xiao Ming. Everyone else, leave this place!"

Elder Mu clearly saw that Jiang Ming's cultivation had not ended even after breaking through to level 98.

He knew even better that the process of reaching level 99 was much more difficult and dangerous than breaking through level 98 in soul power cultivation!

Therefore, at this point, in order to ensure Jiang Ming's safety, he still dispersed everyone else.

With these five protectors, that's enough.

"Everyone, come with me."

Elder Mu spoke up, and apart from the elders he specifically mentioned, the others went directly to the representatives of the various forces present, intending to leave with them.

Di Tian looked at Wang Qiu'er standing in front of him, his golden eyes flashing slightly, and then glanced at Jiang Ming, who was absorbing the black-gold soul ring.

"Now that this is over, I should go back. Qiu'er, I won't interfere in your love life; you can make your own decisions. But, bring him back in a while; I need to have a good talk with him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er turned to look at Jiang Ming, then nodded: "Yes, I know."

Di Tian nodded slightly, then turned around, took a step, and forcefully created a spatial passage. He strode in and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Those who witnessed this scene, or rather, those powerful individuals with cultivation levels above Super Douluo, all widened their eyes in astonishment.

"Who exactly is he? How can he cross space so easily!"

Yu Tianchen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family who had been paying close attention to Di Tian from the very beginning, exclaimed in disbelief.

Because he almost died at Di Tian's hands, he paid close attention to Di Tian during his time here.

He knew that Di Tian was definitely stronger than him, and might even be a Limit Douluo like Mu En.

But when he saw Di Tian create a spatial passage with a single step, he was still shocked.

Even a Limit Douluo couldn't open a spatial passage so easily, right?

Who is he? !

The other powerful figures also wore solemn expressions. They were well aware of the many reclusive families on the continent. For example, the Haotian Sect had gradually moved towards seclusion in recent years.

But are these reclusive families really that powerful?
Given that a Title Douluo is still a top-tier Soul Master, how come a member of a hidden family is already a powerhouse of this level?
Are they simply ignorant, or are the hidden families truly more powerful than they imagined?
With mixed feelings, the group left the place under the guidance of Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, Qian Duoduo, the vice dean, and Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and others.

Along the way, most of them kept glancing at Wang Qiu'er.

If the hidden families are truly that powerful, then Wang Qiu'er is currently the only possible way to make contact with them.

Jiang Ming was still absorbing the soul ring.

After his soul power cultivation broke through level 98, he absorbed the million-year soul ring much faster, and at the same time, the ferocious expression on his face also relaxed.

The improvement from level 97 to level 98 in cultivation level, although negligible for Jiang Ming at present, is still a slight improvement.

That should be enough to relieve some of his stress.

Furthermore, breaking through the bottleneck of level 98 cultivation did indeed consume a portion of the original power of this million-year soul ring, causing the aura released by the soul ring to weaken slightly.

But it remains strong!

The absorption of a million-year soul ring will take at least another half a day, or even a full day!

huge!

It's enormous!

The power of this origin is so immense that it seems inexhaustible.

For a Soul Master with the cultivation level of Title Douluo, the total amount of Soul Power in their body changes with each level, and may even double or triple. The foundation of a million-year Soul Ring is also similar.

Compared to ordinary spirit rings that last for 100,000 or 100,000 years, this million-year spirit ring contains an immense amount of power!

The sums were so abundant that Jiang Ming even felt they were inexhaustible.

Of course, this is impossible.
In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

The guardians were still standing guard nearby. They could clearly feel that the aura of the black-gold soul ring was gradually weakening, while Jiang Ming's aura was constantly rising.

Soon, the level 98 reservoir was filled. After it was full, Jiang Ming did not stop and began to break through the level 99 cultivation bottleneck!
