Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 252 Source of Darkness
He was not a guy who respected his teachers, and now he could see that the Dark Lord was just a remnant. Although he still had some strength, he could not threaten his life. This attitude was just to see if he could knock something out of his hands, at least to make up for the loss of that soul!

"Hehe, you greedy little fellow."

The Dark Lord, knowing clearly what Chen Yao was up to, rolled his eyes.

Chen Yao smiled awkwardly.

"The task left by the monarch was indeed arduous and difficult, and I had no choice but to do it."

The Dark Lord snorted.

"What a helpless thing to say. That sounds good. Anyway, you are my successor after all. Although I am only a remnant now, even if I devour that little soul, I can't last long. But I can still give you some advice on cultivation."

"Oh? Please give me some advice, teacher!"

Chen Yao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that. He had been calling him "monarch" just now, but now he was directly drawing closer to him and calling him teacher.

Although he had obtained the inheritance of the Dark Lord, the information in the black lotus was not much, only some cause and effect, and a practical black zelkova.

But in other aspects, it is somewhat lacking.

Now that I am able to communicate with the Dark Lord, even if I cannot gain any substantial benefits, it will definitely be beneficial to understand his completely different system from another world and gain some experience.

"It's so slippery. Never mind. Let me take a look."

The Dark Lord pouted his lips and snorted, then he looked around at Chen Yao and pondered.

"Your physical body and so-called soul power are well-cultivated and solid, but your soul is a little weak and has been pulled too far. This is not good."

After hearing the Dark Lord's analysis, Chen Yao's mouth twitched slightly.

Could he not know that his spiritual power was falling behind? Otherwise, why would he be so entangled with the soul of the Extreme Douluo just now?

"Little guy, are you cursing me in your heart now, still brooding over that soul just now?"

The Dark Lord noticed something strange on Chen Yao's face and looked at him with some hostility.

"No, the teacher misunderstood. My nose just itches a little. By the way, since the teacher knows my weakness, is there any way to remedy it?"

The Dark Lord looked like a quirky young lady whose moods changed with her own will, but Chen Yao couldn't figure out what she was thinking and he was too lazy to guess, so he just changed the subject and didn't argue with her.

"You better be!"

The Dark Lord glared at Chen Yao as a warning, but it did not have any killing power. Instead, in Chen Yao's eyes, she looked playful and cute. However, Chen Yao was not someone who could be easily seduced by beauty. He remained unmoved on the surface, but remained alert in his heart.

After the warning, the Dark Lord did not chase after Chen Yao. The displeasure on his face quickly disappeared and turned into a complacent smile.

"Don't worry too much about the soul from before. With your current means, it's too difficult to refine that soul, and most of it will be wasted."

That's better than nothing.

Hearing the Dark Lord's words, Chen Yao secretly complained in his heart.

"My remaining thoughts are just floating water and rootless trees. Even if I swallow that soul, I can't hold on for long. It would be fine if I hadn't met you, but since I have met you, I naturally have to accumulate more strength to help you, so that your soul can transform first and reach the level of divine thoughts that those false gods said."

The next moment, the Dark Lord stopped teasing Chen Yao. What he said dispelled the depression in Chen Yao's heart. His eyes lit up and he asked eagerly.

"Really, teacher? What's the solution?"

"Humph, you only think about yourself, and you don't care whether my pitiful remaining soul will dissipate after consuming its power."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao coughed dryly with some embarrassment on his face, and decided to retreat in order to advance.

"Since it is harmful to the teacher, the students will naturally not be able to tolerate it."

"You're really not pretending."

The Dark Lord exposed it mercilessly, and then he was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Yao's hypocrisy. An energy different from soul power and even divine power, which was very similar to the oppressive feeling from the outside world, leaped at his fingertips, and then he pointed his finger at the center of the eyebrows of the statue behind him.

Suddenly, a faint light burst out from the center of the statue's eyebrows, and then, under the guidance of the Dark Lord's finger, a pure black particle of light as big as a seed slowly floated out from it.

Chen Yao's attention was instantly attracted. The dark energy emanating from the seed caused the soul power in Chen Yao's body to become a little restless. His eyes flashed with strong curiosity.

Just when Chen Yao's mind was completely involved, the Dark Lord also slowly let out a sigh.

"Alas, Source of Darkness, I never thought that in the end, you would get the advantage."

"Oh? The source of darkness?"

Chen Yao's heart moved slightly. It seemed that this was an incredible treasure, otherwise how could it cause the Dark Lord to sigh so much?

"It's a bit complicated to explain. Let me first tell you about this world and the origins of those false gods."

The Dark Lord did not keep Chen Yao in suspense and started explaining.

Chen Yao naturally wanted it but couldn't get it, so he listened attentively.

"This Douluo Continent, or rather, this large plane, although the laws are sound, they are extremely solid. Those so-called gods have obtained the laws and a small part of the control through trickery. They use this weak power of the laws to build the so-called godhood and obtain equally weak authority.

Although it is weak and unsightly, it is simple and easy, and can rely on the power of the rules to achieve a different kind of immortality.

But at the same time, everything has a price. This immortality is also a kind of bondage. The false gods cannot completely control the rules and can only be controlled by the rules. On weekdays, they need to spend a lot of divine power to maintain the operation of the huge rules and the balance of this plane of vision. "

In a few words, the Dark Lord revealed the biggest secret of the continent. Chen Yao felt a little upset when he heard it, but he didn't think it was strange.

The almost infinite life that gods possess is too incompatible with their strength. It turns out that there are such restrictions, which is almost the same as being in prison.

Chen Yao resisted subconsciously, but suddenly, he thought of something and asked out loud.

"I see that those gods are so keen on searching for successors and descending from the throne. Is it because they want to get rid of the constraints of those rules?"

The Dark Lord nodded.

“Yes, getting rid of the throne is not complicated. Those people took the initiative to covet the power of rules and immortality, and the rules did not force them. As long as we find a qualified person to replace them, the rules will naturally not let go.

However, the succession of the throne also means that when the gods give up their authority, they also give up the power of rules and eternal life. Not every god can make such a decision. Generally, those gods who are unwilling to decay and want to pursue higher-level power will make such a decision. Therefore, the throne that can be inherited is generally not a weak position. "

Chen Yao listened and nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder the Asura God, instead of being a good God King, did all these weird things and took so much effort to bring Tang San here. I guess he was tired of this kind of life of living a miserable life in the God Realm.

But looking at it from the other side, his successor is really qualified.

Later on, Tang San could not get tired of being the God King, and foolishly became a tool, guarding the house for the Shura God every day.

But in the final analysis, that's all. He is already the nominal ruler of the God Realm, and Douluo Continent is right under his nose.

I don't know if it's because he wants to be a whore and a saint at the same time, or if it's because he has deep-rooted feudal ideas from his previous life and he only knows how to stick to the rules and abide by the damn rule that the gods can't interfere with the lower world.

He was clearly reluctant to leave Douluo Continent, but he only dared to use tricks in secret, messing up the academy and the small sect, and his tricks were speechless.

It would be better to be more direct and turn Douluo Continent into the territory of his Tang family. It would be more efficient and simple to turn it into the Tang Family Continent.

Of course, it could also be the majesty of the imperial court, which was deeply rooted in Tang San's mind for two lifetimes. Even though he became a Divine King, he subconsciously thought of himself as a dog of the imperial court. After defeating the Spirit Hall for the two empires, he did not dare to overthrow those two imperial courts and be the master of his own house.

But even though he complained, Chen Yao was too lazy to analyze Tang San's train of thought in detail. After all, someone who always talked about ways to die was not a normal person.

What's more, this time, with Chen Yao making trouble on Douluo Continent, Tang San has no chance to be in charge.

Turning his attention back to the Dark Lord's words, Chen Yao pointed at the seed in the other's hand and asked.

"What you said is very interesting, but what does this have to do with this, the source of darkness? What is this thing used for?"

The Dark Lord glanced at Chen Yao and spoke in a gloomy voice.

"Compared to the false gods here who have gone astray, the system on my side is considered complete, and naturally there is a way to completely refine the rules. She came here accidentally, and after investigating the situation, she naturally paid attention to the dark laws here.

And this source of darkness can be regarded as a key. It is condensed by absorbing the energy of the dark rules after I came here. If you refine it, although your strength will not increase directly, you will begin to control the power of this law.

And they can gradually deepen their understanding and penetration of the rules, and over time, completely control the rules. This is different from those pseudo-gods whose strength ceiling is stuck, whose freedom is bound by the throne, and who only have some temporary authority.

I can’t explain to you in a few words what it feels like to master the rules. You can only experience it yourself after you have reached that stage.”

The Dark Lord's words made Chen Yao nodded subconsciously, perhaps in his heart.

Even though what the Dark Lord said sounded a bit mysterious, the rules sounded very impressive. The source of darkness was definitely a treasure.

However, Chen Yao had new doubts.

"Since this thing is so good, why don't you use it and leave it to me?"

After hearing Chen Yao's words, the Dark Lord rolled his eyes.

"Do you really think I'm so kind? In that world, I couldn't get the source of darkness. There, the law of darkness already had an owner. I couldn't defeat it, so I had to find another way out. I found this place and discovered these ownerless laws. But unfortunately, after I condensed the source of darkness, I found myself labeled as an alien invader. The source of darkness was extremely repulsive to me and I couldn't do anything to it."

"So the Dark Lord gave up?"

Chen Yao said happily with a smile as if he had gotten a bargain.

"Of course not. I have been searching for the law for so long, how could I give up so easily? I thought that I could rely on time to grind, even if it took thousands of years, to wear away the alien aura on my body that was incompatible with this place, so that the source of darkness would no longer resist her. But I never thought that not long after I settled in Douluo Continent, I would be visited by the local gods.

You know what happened next. I was already seriously injured because of crossing the boundary, and the energy required to condense the source of darkness was huge. It was difficult for me to deal with those false gods. The war was in a stalemate, and something happened in her own world. I couldn't waste time here any longer, so I had to flee in a hurry. I couldn't even take care of this source of darkness, and I couldn't take it with me. In the end, I stayed here, so you can only take advantage of it."

The Dark Lord spoke with regret, and did not hesitate in his choice of words, as if he was not talking about himself.

Chen Yao nodded absentmindedly when he heard that. He didn't care about the cause and effect. He only knew that even the Dark Lord coveted this thing, but he didn't get to eat it, so in the end it was given to him cheaply.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let me refine it quickly so that I can inherit her last wish, fight in the God Realm, and overthrow that Bird God Court!"

But Chen Yao's quick words seemed to have touched the pain point of the Dark Lord's remaining soul, and he immediately got angry.

"Who is old? Who are you talking about? Still wanting a last wish? I am not dead yet!"

Chen Yao also came to his senses at this time and felt that he had done something stupid.

This girl has been pretending to be young ever since she showed up. Her tone of voice is like that of a girl who is ignorant of the world. It is obvious that she cares a lot about her age and certainly cannot stand listening to Chen Yao's words.

Immediately, Chen Yao's eyes rolled around, and he quickly moved forward, not caring whether the Dark Lord's body was illusory at the moment. He came behind him, patted his shoulder enthusiastically, and said nice things to him in a flattering manner.

He had so many women, but none of them had ever enjoyed this kind of flattery.

There was no way. The good stuff was in the hands of the Dark Lord. Even if the Dark Lord went too far and wanted Chen Yao to call her mother, Chen Yao felt that it was not impossible for him.
