Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 317 Golden Tortoise Shell, Dimensional Consciousness

Nourished by this incredibly rich life force, even Elder Yi couldn't help but look intoxicated and enjoying himself.

The life-giving gold within the golden tortoiseshell is a full one-fifth of the gold in the Lake of Life.

The terrifying vitality it contains is immeasurable.

At this moment, under the devouring power of the Blade of Life, Zhou Sichen once again transferred this pure life force to Xue Di, Hong Hong, A Da, and the Mirror Beast through the connection of the Martial Soul of the Book of Contract.

As for Hellfire and Xiong Da, Zhou Sichen dared not give them to him for the time being, since they were still undergoing special training in the Star Dou Great Forest.

If this immense life force were to flow back to them at this moment, it would be easy for Di Tian to detect it.

We can make it up after their special training ends; it shouldn't be a big problem.

While chatting with the Sea Princess, Xue Di suddenly felt the rich life force emanating from the Book of Contracts. Her eyes lit up, and she sat cross-legged to carefully absorb it.

Although it is unknown what Zhou Sichen went through while absorbing the spirit ring.

But just from the rich life energy in this feedback, it is clear that Zhou Sichen is not only out of danger, but also has a great opportunity.

Even the Snow Emperor couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate. Could it be that the golden hawksbill turtle had truly brought good fortune to Zhou Sichen?
Seeing the sudden change in the Snow Emperor, the Sea Princess and her two daughters instantly thought of Zhou Sichen, who was absorbing a soul ring.

The Sea Princess remembered what the Snow Emperor had told her: Zhou Sichen's increased strength would, through the Book of Contracts, boost the strength of their contracted soul beasts.

This process was far easier than what they had cultivated for tens of thousands of years. At this moment, the Sea Princess felt that this was the feedback the Book of Contracts was giving to the Snow Emperor.

Although Zhou Sichen only had six rings, the boost he received from a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone was immense.

In the eyes of the Sea Princess, it was normal to be able to give the Snow Emperor some feedback.

This process lasted for a full half hour. Only after Zhou Sichen had completely merged with the golden tortoiseshell did he stop the feedback of life energy.

At this moment, Zhou Sichen's entire body was a brilliant gold, and the power of the golden tortoiseshell had been fully integrated, turning Zhou Sichen's skin, blood vessels, bones, and muscles all gold.

The immense energy brought by the 100,000-year-old soul ring rapidly improved Zhou Sichen's physical attributes and soul power.

However, Zhou Sichen did not choose one of the six main soul bones that had been around for 100,000 years. Instead, he had the golden tortoise shell condense the soul bone onto his shell.

A spirit bone attached!

Another external soul bone!
However, it's not a tortoise shell. After all, Zhou Sichen isn't a tortoise, and it would look too strange if he were carrying a tortoise shell.

The external soul bone formed from the golden tortoise shell is not in the shape of a tortoise shell, but rather in the form of armor that fits the torso, limbs, and head.

Normally, it is an external soul bone attached to the skin, hidden beneath the skin, and cannot be detected by others.

Once the golden tortoise shell is used, it will appear, protecting Zhou Sichen like armor.

The golden hawksbill turtle was speechless at Zhou Sichen's request. After all, transforming its essence and tortoise shell into the form Zhou Sichen desired would consume an immense amount of its energy.

Fortunately, Zhou Sichen's spiritual power had reached the realm of tangible yet intangible, and he was working with the golden tortoiseshell to plan this external soul bone.

Therefore, even after Zhou Sichen's third 100,000-year soul ring stabilized, he remained in a state of cultivation.

The golden tortoise shell's original body gradually decomposed, and its golden shell slowly adhered to Zhou Sichen's entire body skin, transforming into the shape of golden armor.

Even with Zhou Sichen and the Golden Tortoise working together, the process still took a full hour.

When it was finally completed, Zhou Sichen, transformed into a golden warrior, was radiant with golden light, but the golden tortoiseshell was almost exhausted to death.

After absorbing the spirit ring and spirit bone, Zhou Sichen's spirit power increased by a full five levels, directly pushing his spirit power to level sixty-seven, not far from level sixty-eight.

Zhou Sichen, clad in golden tortoise armor, clenched his fist, feeling the power of the golden tortoise armor, and a smile appeared on his lips.

The defensive power of this 100,000-year-old external soul bone is terrifying. With the enhancement of two 100,000-year-old soul bone skills, Zhou Sichen could stand there and let a Title Douluo hit him, and the opponent would probably have to fight for a long time.

With a thought, the golden tortoise shell was hidden beneath the skin. This external soul bone directly maximized the defense, and no one could see it when it was hidden.

With the addition of the ever-changing core, an all-powerful, alien-shaped soul tool, Zhou Sichen could easily defeat a Soul Saint with just the Golden Tortoise Shell and the ever-changing core.

Zhou Sichen withdrew his martial soul, and the three soul rings—one platinum and two crimson—retracted into his body.

After Zhou Sichen had worked on the golden tortoiseshell's body to attach the external soul bone, a flash of green light appeared, and a piece of metal separated from his body, falling to the ground with a "clinking" sound.

The piece of metal didn't look very big, and its shape was irregular, with faint tooth marks on it.

The golden tortoiseshell's voice rang out, but it was full of sighs: "Finally out, this terrifying thing that has troubled me for thousands of years."

The golden tortoiseshell, now transformed into a spirit, said to Zhou Sichen, "This is the source of the terrifying life force within me. Since you can absorb and control it, I'll leave this to you."

Zhou Sichen smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Sichen manipulated the Blade of Life in the air to sink downwards, pressing it tightly against the piece of Golden Life.

The next moment, a strange scene unfolded.

A beam of emerald light emanated from the Blade of Life, and the piece of Life Gold seemed to be devoured by it, gradually merging into the Blade of Life and becoming a part of it.

Originally, the Blade of Life was only the size of a carving knife. However, with the infusion of this massive piece of life essence, it gradually grew and condensed, transforming into a short blade.

After absorbing and fusing the living gold within the golden tortoise shell, Zhou Sichen moved his mind, and the Living Blade flew back to him.

The original carving knife has now transformed into a short, emerald-green blade, about seven inches long, resembling a throwing knife.

Compared to its original form, it looks heavier, with a crystal-clear blade that is vibrant green and full of life energy that is constantly being fed back to Zhou Sichen.

After being nurtured by Zhou Sichen for so long, and having been integrated into the Eye of Life, the Blade of Life is now one with Zhou Sichen.

Therefore, this large piece of living gold is entirely up to Zhou Sichen to decide, and it will not devour Zhou Sichen like the golden tortoise shell did.

Because the Golden Tortoiseshell was directly swallowed into the body, it was completely different from Zhou Sichen's absorption and refinement of the Blade of Life, which was nurtured with spiritual power and the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Looking at the blade before him, which was almost a living being, Zhou Sichen felt immense joy.

With so much gold from living beings, even if Zhou Sichen cut off his own head in the future, he could probably recover instantly.

With a thought, the Blade of Life transformed into a streak of emerald light and re-entered the Eye of Life.

This immense life force, flowing into his body, caused Zhou Sichen's body to tremble several times.

As if he had experienced countless pleasures, Zhou Sichen felt refreshed and incredibly comfortable. This almost tangible life energy also stimulated his spiritual power and soul power to further merge.

This feeling of perfect harmony made Zhou Sichen vaguely sense something.

Zhou Sichen slowly closed his eyes, and at that moment a strange power connected with him.

Although Zhou Sichen closed his eyes, he seemed to sense another world, a world that was ethereal and brought him an indescribable sense of wonder.

"Hello, I am the spirit of this world, and also its will, and you are the one I have chosen..."

No one spoke, but the voice echoed in Zhou Sichen's mind.

Zhou Sichen listened silently to the voice's narration and soon understood everything.

It turns out that he had been noticed by the dimensional spirits for a long time, and his smooth journey was precisely because the dimensional spirits had chosen him.

What Zhou Sichen needs to do is to seize the time to become stronger as much as possible, so as to help the plane spirit escape from Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor's refinement and devouring in the future.

The spirit of the plane even wanted to cultivate a god-king to counterbalance or even eliminate Tang San.

Otherwise, it will still be subject to Tang San's schemes in the future and become part of Tang San's grand plan for ten thousand years.

However, Zhou Sichen didn't have much time. The Spirit of the Plane and the God of Destruction could work together to free Tang San from control of Douluo Continent for half a month.

One day in the divine world and one year in the lower world.

Zhou Sichen was given fifteen years.

This timeline began seven years ago, on the day Zhou Sichen awakened his martial spirit at the age of six.

Zhou Sichen has eight years left. If he doesn't grow strong enough within that time, then he's in trouble.

When Tang San finally realizes what's happening, it will not only be a catastrophe for Zhou Sichen, but also for the spirit of the plane.

But for Zhou Sichen now, eight years is definitely enough time.

Moreover, since we now know everything, it's like an open-book exam.

If Zhou Sichen still can't become the number one on the continent and achieve godhood under these circumstances, then he might as well go find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

And most importantly, since Tang San's control has been blocked, doesn't that mean that apart from the divine sense that Tang San left behind, everything else is temporarily out of Tang San's control?
In this way, wouldn't it be possible to try out the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, which Zhou Sichen hadn't originally considered, within these eight years?
Even if they can't inherit the position of the God of Love, they can still use the trials of Qiankun Asking Love Valley to boost the soul power of their companions.

After the exchange between the consciousnesses of the same plane ended, Zhou Sichen thought about many things.

Since it's an open-book exam, he can speed things up a bit.

Without Tang San's intervention, what about Tang Hao, the Blue Silver Emperor, the Azure Dragon, the Titan Giant Ape...?

These are all issues that Zhou Sichen needs to address.

Eight years is enough time for Zhou Sichen to plan and grow.

Meanwhile, within the Sea of ​​Spirit, the Golden Tortoise Shell stared blankly at Elder Yi, while Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor were completely dumbfounded.

He thought he was Zhou Sichen's first spirit, but he never expected that he already had so many guests.

And each one is more terrifying than the last.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at the golden tortoiseshell, and then, transformed into a cute little boy, stroked his chin: "I feel like I'm somewhat familiar with your aura."

The golden tortoiseshell also glanced at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and said, "Familiar? Who are you? Why do I feel that the aura of your body is somewhat familiar?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm narrowed its eyes and transformed into its true form. Rings of golden soul rings rapidly rose from its feet, a total of ten rings, and after suspending in the air, they stopped around its body.

This scene left the golden tortoiseshell speechless: "Ah? It's you! You're that ice silkworm."

"My God! How did you also merge with a human? And Zhou Sichen at that? This is absolutely unbelievable."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm glared fiercely at the Golden Tortoiseshell and said angrily, "You bastard, you absorbed my life force back then, didn't you?"

"Ahem, um..." The golden tortoiseshell suddenly noticed the presence of the victim and seemed somewhat embarrassed.

But then his eyes turned red, because this was just the beginning of his miserable journey.

The golden tortoiseshell said, "That's right. I did absorb some of your life force back then, but I absorbed it secretly and didn't use it against you."

"And do you know how much trouble it has caused me after absorbing your life force?"

"If I hadn't absorbed your life force back then, I wouldn't be so sensitive to life energy, and I wouldn't have become so greedy later, ending up like this!"

The golden tortoiseshell then recounted the story of how things came to be the way they are today.

After absorbing the life force of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he became extremely sensitive to the aura of life. In addition, since he was the embodiment of auspiciousness, he directly found the huge piece of life gold in the Lake of Life.

At that time, the golden hawksbill turtle was full of vigor, thinking that after devouring that huge piece of life gold, it would become an existence like Di Tian in the future, leading the hawksbill turtle clan to rise completely.

But he only took a bite, just one-fifth of the Life Gold, and his dream was shattered.

If he were to eat it drop by drop, perhaps he would evolve and improve as he ate, just like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm ate the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

However, because he ate too much at once, he suffered a backlash, although he also absorbed a lot of life force as a result.

But soon after, he was devoured by the life-giving gold.

Therefore, he even harbored some resentment towards the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. If he hadn't secretly absorbed some of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's immense life force back then, perhaps none of what happened afterward would have occurred.

However, after hearing the story of the golden tortoiseshell, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transformed back into a cute little boy and began to deceive people with a serious expression.

Tianmeng Bingcan said, "Perhaps this is your auspicious destiny. If it weren't for this, how could you have joined our family of creating gods?"

The Ice Emperor, unusually, agreed with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words: "That's right. Now that you've become Si Chen's soul spirit, you must already understand how terrifying the potential of his body is, right?"

Upon hearing this, the golden tortoiseshell rubbed its chin and said, "It seems...to be true! Hahaha, I am indeed the embodiment of good fortune!"

Looking at the smug smile on the golden tortoise's face, Old Yi also felt that this auspicious little turtle did indeed have some good fortune.
