Douluo: Soul Breaking Spear

Chapter 242 Golden Ancient Tree
Yang Podi looked at the corpse of the fire dragon and couldn't help shaking his head. The strength of this fire dragon was indeed very good, and it should have reached the strength of a Titled Douluo at level 98, especially with the ultimate fire, but it was still a little weaker than himself.

Yang Podi adjusted himself for a while and then began to absorb this soul ring. This was also the sixth soul ring of his martial soul.

A mere 300,000-year-old soul beast could not cause too much pressure on Yang Podi. In just one day, Yang Podi had completed the absorption of the soul ring.

As the absorption of this soul ring was completed, Yang Podi's soul power officially reached level ninety-nine.

As the absorption of this soul ring was completed, Yang Podi opened his eyes and felt that everything around him seemed to have changed. His sense of soul power became more subtle, as if he could see the essence of soul power. This was probably the difference between an Extreme Douluo and an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Especially at this time, the dual cores in Yang Podi's body seemed to be running much faster, absorbing the surrounding soul power like a whale. Yang Podi felt that his physical and mental strength had greatly improved, and even his combat power had increased several times compared to level 98.

No wonder it is said that each level improvement after becoming a Titled Douluo is huge, especially after entering the Super Douluo level. The gap between each level is like a chasm. According to Yang Podi's current estimate, he can easily win even against the ninety-nine-level Qian Daoliu.

Yang Podi carefully felt the changes in his body. Ever since he had this fire attribute soul ring, his body seemed to become more compact and his martial soul became much stronger. However, mentally speaking, it felt like his martial soul now had great flaws.

According to Yang Podi's own estimation, through the continuous absorption of six soul rings, the attributes of these six soul rings are space, darkness, gold, wood, earth, and fire, among which there are also a small amount of strength and wind attributes.

But the foundation of the attributes should be the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and now only a water-attribute soul ring is missing, and the sense of loss that was originally not there becomes even more obvious.

Just as Yang Podi expected, the five elements are mutually generated and restrained. Only when all five elements are gathered can they be truly perfect and achieve a true cycle. Only then will their strength be truly greatly improved. And the last water-attributed soul ring will be crucial.

Yang Podi even felt that when the five elements' hundred thousand year spirit rings were gathered together, unexpected changes might occur, and they might even become unexpectedly powerful.

Yang Podi couldn't help but shook his head. He was now at level ninety-nine, and only lacked the last hundred levels of the chasm. It seemed that he had to find a way to find his own divine position as soon as possible, otherwise it would all be in vain.

After collecting the fire dragon's corpse, they found a fiery red torso soul bone in the corpse. This soul bone was very good in terms of age and attributes, especially the dragon attribute contained in it, which was extreme. I'm afraid there is no soul bone of this level in the entire Douluo Continent.

Yang Podi thought about it and decided to put the soul bone away. He no longer lacked strength for the time being, and perhaps he would have better soul bones in the future. He always felt that this soul ring was a bit useless to him.

And Yang Po Di also obtained two good soul ring skills.

The sixth soul skill of the main body martial soul: Flame Dragon Claw, which can summon a huge dragon claw to attack the enemy, especially the dragon claw has strong power and extreme fire attribute. Moreover, this move seems to be very compatible with the main body martial soul, and the flame dragon claw can be directly used on the main body martial soul, and one hand can be directly transformed into a dragon claw.

The second soul skill of the sixth soul skill of the main body spirit: Fire Prison, which is similar to the flame field used by the fire dragon. It can control all flames. Everyone in the Fire Prison will be attacked by large-scale flames, just like being in a fiery hell.

Surprisingly, Inferno is a bit like a domain skill, but more like a control skill.

When fighting against the fire dragon just now, if Yang Podi himself was not very powerful, it would not have been so easy to win, especially the fire of the fire dragon, which could probably restrain all fire-attributed soul masters in the world, and the Fire Prison also had a similar effect.

Yang Po is very hostile to these two soul skills. He is afraid that from now on all fire-attributed soul masters and soul beasts will not be his opponents, and will be greatly restrained by him.

Moreover, there is a very special feature of these two soul skills. If there really is such a strong flame, then the restraining effect on water-attribute soul masters will be even greater, which will be better for one's future plans.

After sorting out his spirit rings, Yang Podi began to explore the entire underground space.

Unexpectedly, even though Yang Podi had just fought so fiercely with the fire dragon and even activated his ninth soul skill, the underground space did not collapse.

The attacks of Yang Podi and the fire dragon left various holes in the underground space, but did not destroy the structure of the entire space, which is a bit incredible.

Yang Podi carefully studied the ground and the surrounding walls and was shocked. He never thought that these walls and the ground were made of black crystal. No wonder they were so strong that they could even withstand the hot magma.

The cave in the center is relatively simple, like a simple small courtyard. There is a plaque in the middle of the gate with the four characters "Soul-Calming Courtyard" inscribed on it. These four characters appear extremely ancient, as if they have experienced the vicissitudes of countless years.

Yang Podi carefully observed this small cave and felt that something was a bit strange. How could there be a cave under this magma layer? Moreover, with the heat of the magma and even a 300,000-year-old soul beast around, this cave was not damaged.

Yang Podi was about to push the door open, but surprisingly, the door was not locked. However, the door was very heavy, not like ordinary wooden or iron doors. Yang Podi carefully observed the cave, which was a small courtyard structure, just like the common family courtyards. However, after careful observation, he found that the walls, bricks, and even the gates and plaques of the courtyard were all made of soul-suppressing stones. Soul-suppressing stones are known to be the hardest of all rocks, and have a special effect of calming the spirit. They can even suppress some dark attribute soul masters, and are considered to be top-grade treasures.

You should know that the Soul-Calming Stone is in short supply in the entire market. Its value is no less than that of expensive jade, and its hardness is no weaker than the so-called deep-sea silver. Although this courtyard is not big, its overall length and width are hundreds of meters. It consumes so many Soul-Calming Stones. In terms of construction cost alone, it is probably no less than that of a large city.

Moreover, it would be very difficult to manufacture it using the Soul-Calming Stone. Both the hardness and value of the Soul-Calming Stone were completely beyond imagination. Even if it was done by myself, it would probably take countless hours to complete it.

Yang Podi felt it was becoming more and more strange. How could there be something of this level so deep underground?

After entering the courtyard, Yang Podi was completely shocked. The reliability of light in this underground world was very low. When he first came in, he only knew that there was a giant tree and a cave. Now he could really see the giant tree clearly.

This giant tree is golden all over, even every leaf is golden. In particular, the tree exudes an infinite breath of life, which even exceeds the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yang Podi couldn't help swallowing. Could this giant tree be the legendary ancient golden tree?
But that's not right. Shouldn't the Golden Ancient Tree be deep in the Star Dou Great Forest? Moreover, after ten thousand years, the Golden Ancient Tree has always been the foundation of Shrek Academy. How could it appear here? Yang Podi had visited the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest many times before, but he didn't find any trace of the Golden Ancient Tree. He thought it was hidden in the hands of the ferocious beasts.

Moreover, this courtyard and the ancient golden tree seem to be integrated into one whole, making it difficult for even myself to move away.

What is even more strange is that everything in the courtyard is made of soul-calming stone, even the floor, walls, a pavilion, tables, chairs and benches in the courtyard are made of soul-calming stone.

Who is so generous as to do such a thing? And if one wants to live in seclusion, there is no need to use the soul-calming stone.

Yang Podi walked around the courtyard carefully, and what surprised him even more was that there was a small spring in the center of the courtyard. This spring had a very strong breath of life, which was obviously very extraordinary.

Yang Podi scooped a ladle of spring water and observed it carefully for a while. The breath of life in the spring water actually exceeded that of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, next to the spring water was an ancient golden tree. This was probably the legendary water of life.

Yang Po Di took a sip carefully and instantly felt very comfortable all over his body, as if it was filled with the breath of life. This was the water of life.

Yang Podi was even more puzzled. An ordinary soul master should not be able to build a place like this. Perhaps only a god could do it. But even if it was a god, why would he build this courtyard in this place? Why would he plant the ancient golden tree in this place?

Judging from the situation in this place, it is already thousands of meters underground. If it weren't for the aura emitted by this fire dragon, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed it. You know, at that time, Yang Po was already a Titled Douluo at level 98, and this fire dragon seemed to be very awed by this courtyard.

What's even more strange is that this courtyard seems to have some special function, it can even conceal the aura of the ancient golden tree.

Yang Podi suddenly thought of something and his face changed instantly.

I remember that in the Douluo world, the Abyss Plane is a terrifying existence. The Abyss Plane did not appear in Douluo I, but appeared in Douluo II due to the collision of continents. Judging from the current situation, it is possible that the so-called Abyss Plane is underneath this Soul-Calming Courtyard, and the use of Soul-Calming Stone to build the Soul-Calming Courtyard and the Golden Ancient Tree is probably to suppress the Abyss Plane.

If this is the case, there must be a large formation under the cave or even the entire rock space, and the ancient golden tree is the core of the formation.

It is no wonder that the volcanoes in the entire Liuhuo Mountain Range are extremely prone to eruption. It turns out that there is such a terrifying thing under the Liuhuo Mountain Range.

Yang Podi stayed in the entire Soul-Suppressing Courtyard for half a month, but did not gain anything else. Instead, all the water of life was taken away. As for the courtyard built with the ancient golden tree and the Soul-Suppressing Stone, with Yang Podi's current strength, he had no way of moving away, and he did not dare to move away.

However, practicing under the ancient golden tree is indeed very good. It is about 50% faster than normal practice. It is simply a rare place for practice. Unfortunately, the only entrance is covered by magma, and I am afraid that no one can get in.

If you really want to get in, you either have to refine your body with ice and fire in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, or reach the realm of Ultimate Fire or Ultimate Ice, or it is possible to reach the Ultimate Douluo. Apart from this, there is probably no other way.

Yang Podi finally decided to leave here. He now had other things to deal with. It would be the same to come here to practice after he finished dealing with them. Even the ancient golden tree could not make him truly become a god.

As for the situation inside the cave, Yang Podi has no plans to tell anyone for the time being. This will serve as his secret base and also as his last trump card. If he really cannot find the throne of God in the future, this may be the best way out.

This is a somewhat fictionalized origin of the ancient golden tree. The original book does not describe it clearly, so it can be regarded as a small foreshadowing for the later part.
