Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 380 Tangible and Material, Spiritual Avatar, Level 97, 850,000 Years
Inside the underground space, Zhou Sichen slowly opened his eyes. His soul power had fully recovered, and due to the stimulation of the battle just now, there were even faint signs of a breakthrough.

Turning his gaze to the Evil Emperor not far away, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but slow his breathing.

This supreme powerhouse, who once shook the Sun and Moon Continent, was hovering in mid-air, his single eye slightly narrowed. The dark purple light flowing in his pupil was like a dancing star trail, sometimes condensing into a fine net of light, and sometimes scattering into countless points of light.

His spiritual energy fluctuated with a strange rhythm, each expansion causing ripples in the surrounding air.

The dust on the rock wall fell down in a flurry, and was then absorbed back by an invisible force when the mental energy contracted, forming a cyclical energy vortex.

The Evil Emperor was deep in thought, his single eye gleaming with wisdom, and his spiritual energy rising and falling rhythmically like his breathing.

"Have you thought it through?" Zhou Sichen's voice broke the silence of the space.

The Evil Emperor's single eye suddenly focused, and the dark purple light converged into a single, cold star.

The Evil Emperor snapped out of his daze, looked at Zhou Sichen with his one eye, and said in a much calmer tone: "I have a rough idea of ​​the core framework of the Spirit Ascension Platform. But it requires a large amount of rare metals and soul guide cores, and... the soul masters of the Spirit Pagoda must cooperate with my command."

“No problem.” Zhou Sichen readily agreed, “You can use the resources of the Spirit Pagoda as you wish, and Di Tian, ​​Xue Di, Xuan Zi, and Du Busi will also cooperate fully.”

Since the Evil Emperor has started discussing specific tasks, it means that he has completely accepted the role of a partner.

The Evil Emperor paused, his one eye sweeping over Zhou Sichen: "More importantly, the Soul Masters of the Spirit Pagoda must cooperate with my commands."

"According to your plan, the energy nodes of the Spirit Ascension Platform require precise soul power injection. I alone definitely won't be enough; I'll need those guys to cooperate with my setup..."

“No problem.” Zhou Sichen nodded.

"When will the contract begin?" the Evil Emperor asked, his tone now devoid of any resistance.

“Anytime is fine,” Zhou Sichen said, slowly raising his right hand.

In an instant, a brilliant golden light burst forth from his palm, and an ancient, heavy book slowly condensed within the light.

The book's cover had no words, only a chain pattern composed of countless flowing runes, which made a crisp sound like gold and jade striking each other when the pages were turned.

As the Book of Contracts appeared as a martial soul, rings of blood-red spirit rings suddenly rose from Zhou Sichen's body.

Eight blood-red, 100,000-year soul rings floated around him, emanating a terrifying pressure that made the space itself tremble.

The Evil Emperor stared intently at the blood-red soul rings. Although he had seen this scene before through Zhou Sichen's shared memories, his heart still pounded uncontrollably when he witnessed it with his own eyes.

He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and the most powerful soul masters he had ever seen were only three 100,000-year soul rings. But this young man in front of him didn't even have two martial souls that could be considered 100,000-year soul rings!

Even more terrifying is that Zhou Sichen's main spirit also has three million-year-level spirit rings.

"The upper limit of the Book of Contracts... is indeed invincible," the Evil Emperor murmured.

He suddenly understood why proud and ferocious beasts like the Snow Empress, the Sea Princess, and the Demon Emperor were willing to submit. It wasn't just because of Zhou Sichen's talent, but also because of the infinite possibilities that the Book of Contracts could bring.

If Zhou Sichen becomes a god, the strength of all the contracted soul beasts will increase accordingly. No soul beast can resist such a temptation.

Judging from the configuration of spirit rings, Zhou Sichen's main spirit has three million-year level spirit rings, but the upper limit of the Book of Contracts is invincible.

If Zhou Sichen becomes a god, and the strength of their contracted soul beasts can continue to increase, that would be the most terrifying thing.

Therefore, the power of the original martial soul still cannot replace the status of the Book of Contracts.

Zhou Sichen was able to easily attract so many ferocious beasts to follow him, and the Book of Contracts Martial Soul was the main reason for this; his talent was merely secondary.

Zhou Sichen sat cross-legged, and the Book of Contracts slowly opened in front of him. The runes on the pages seemed to come alive, wandering along the edges of the pages and finally stopping on the ninth page.

The Evil Emperor revealed his true form again, but shrunk to only three meters in size, and proactively extended a tentacle, gently pressing it onto the Book of Contracts.

"Om-"

The Book of Contracts instantly erupted with boundless golden light, and the runes on the ninth page surged out like a tide, weaving into a huge golden net in the air, completely enveloping the Evil Emperor.

Every node on the rune network glowed faintly, like stars in the night sky, flickering with the Evil Emperor's breath.

Zhou Sichen could clearly feel a surge of spiritual and soul power flowing into his body like a flood breaking through a dam, connected by the Book of Contract.

"Your spiritual power is already infinitely close to the realm of tangible and substantial existence." The Evil Emperor's voice came through the rune network, carrying a hint of imperceptible fatigue: "Next, I will impart to you my life's insights into spiritual power cultivation. Whether you can break through depends on your own comprehension."

Zhou Sichen closed her eyes and nodded solemnly: "Thank you."

He could sense that the Evil Emperor's spiritual power contained countless fragmented images, which flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, eventually condensing into a complete cultivation method.

That was a unique spiritual cultivation path belonging to the Evil Emperor, filled with plunder and resilience.

Zhou Sichen wasted no time and immediately calmed down to sort through the complex information.

His spiritual sea was like a calm lake, with the gentle spiritual power left by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the inclusive power bestowed by the Sea Princess flowing slowly within it.

The Evil Emperor's spiritual power, like a sharp icicle, aggressively pierced the surface of the lake, stirring up countless waves.

The collision of the three different attributes was initially intense. It felt as if countless needles were pricking Zhou Sichen's sea of ​​consciousness at the same time, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

But he endured the discomfort and guided the three types of spiritual energy to slowly merge.

Use the gentleness of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to neutralize the Evil Emperor's tyranny, use the Sea Princess's inclusiveness to accept the Evil Emperor's predatory nature, and then use the Evil Emperor's sharpness to cut off the remaining stagnation in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

This process is like forging fine steel, requiring countless hammer blows to remove the impurities and retain the essence, finally merging and unifying to become Zhou Sichen's unique and powerful spiritual force.

At the same time, the Evil Emperor's soul power was also washing over Zhou Sichen's meridians.

Soul power tempering the body, spiritual power fusion and enhancement...

Time passed unnoticed, and only the humming of the golden runes and Zhou Sichen's steady breathing remained in the underground space.

Zhou Sichen's spiritual sea was undergoing an astonishing change, and golden ripples began to appear on the originally clear lake surface.

Beside the "Lake of Life" within the Sea of ​​Spirit, a golden tortoiseshell phantom slowly rose, its every breath inhaling and exhaling the surrounding spiritual energy, appearing exceptionally excited.

The host's breakthrough in spiritual power is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for his soul.

The Evil Emperor's condition grew weaker and weaker; his dark golden scales lost their luster, and his single eye was covered with a layer of gray.

Passing on his life's worth of spiritual insights was like a knife to his heart, but when he saw the changes in Zhou Sichen's spiritual sea, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. This young man's comprehension far exceeded his expectations; the three completely different spiritual energies not only did not conflict, but instead merged into an even more powerful force. Such talent was unparalleled even in the entire Douluo Continent.

Three hours passed quietly.

A brilliant red light suddenly burst forth from Zhou Sichen's body, and the ninth blood-red soul ring was formed in an instant, like a blood-red halo encircling his body!

Eight spirit rings slowly rotated around the ninth spirit ring, forming a perfect closed loop. A terrifying pressure far exceeding the previous ones spread out from him, and the cracks in the rock wall instantly widened, with countless pieces of rock falling down with a crash.

"A Title Douluo... no, a Level 97 Super Douluo!" the Evil Emperor exclaimed in shock, his one eye wide open.

He could clearly feel that Zhou Sichen's soul power level had soared to level 97 at this moment, a breakthrough speed that was simply unheard of.

Before he could recover from his shock, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

Above Zhou Sichen's head, golden spiritual energy began to condense, flowing slowly like liquid gold, eventually transforming into a light and shadow identical to his own.

This figure wore the same robe as Zhou Sichen, with the same face and expression, but exuded an ethereal aura, as if it might ride the wind away at any moment.

This is a spiritual clone directly condensed from his tangible and substantial spiritual power!

This spiritual clone opened its eyes, which shone with the same intelligent light as Zhou Sichen.

This spiritual clone lacks both the Book of Contracts martial soul and the original body martial soul, but it possesses all of Zhou Sichen's spiritual attribute soul skills, self-created soul skills, and even the original body's secret techniques!

Even if the mental clone doesn't have a martial soul, its mental strength alone is enough to overwhelm most ordinary titled Douluo.

With the added power of Zhou Sichen's various spiritual attribute soul skills, self-created soul skills, and some of his original body's secret techniques, the combat strength of his spiritual clone is comparable to that of an ordinary Super Douluo!

And this is only the most basic use of tangible spiritual power.

A mental clone is essentially a Zhou Sichen, and can even retain some of Zhou Sichen's wisdom.

With just one command from Zhou Sichen, the clone will carry out the task according to Zhou Sichen's thoughts and actions, making it quite practical.

As his mental strength broke through to its peak, Zhou Sichen's soul power level also officially reached level ninety-seven.

The successful acquisition of this ninth spirit ring directly made Zhou Sichen a level 97 Super Douluo.

In terms of true strength, Zhou Sichen is now directly comparable to Di Tian, ​​a demigod.

Zhou Sichen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging soul power within his body and the clone in his spiritual sea that was connected to his mind. A confident smile appeared on his lips.

He could feel that his mental strength had reached a whole new level. The principles of many previously obscure and difficult-to-understand soul skills had become clear and understandable, and he could even vaguely touch the threshold of the god level.

In terms of true strength, Zhou Sichen is now directly comparable to Di Tian, ​​a demigod.

Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Zhou Sichen are all people I could easily crush!
With the return of the ninth soul ring and the full display of Zhou Sichen's soul power, the soul beasts contracted by the Book of Contracts also underwent tremendous changes.

Suddenly, an even stronger light burst forth from the Book of Contracts, and the runes on the ninth page seemed to come alive, flowing into the bodies of the Evil Emperor and the other contracted soul beasts far away in the Spirit Pagoda, following the connection of the contract.

Originally, A-Da, Hellfire, Xiong Da, Hong Hong, and Little Mirror had already broken through to the terrifying cultivation level of a 500,000-year-old ferocious beast.

Now, with Zhou Sichen's continued breakthroughs, the cultivation levels of the Snow Emperor, the Sea Princess, the Demon Emperor, and the recently emerged Evil Emperor have all broken through to a new level.

A-Da (Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion King), Hellfire (Hellfire Phoenix), Bear Big (Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear King), Red Red (Immortal Emperor Lovesick Heartbreak Red), Little Mirror (Mirror Shadow Beast King)!
The five super ferocious beasts, each with a cultivation level of 500,000 years, saw their cultivation levels surge once again along with their master's increased strength, each reaching a terrifying 850,000 years of cultivation!
The Evil Emperor felt a warm current surge into him from the point of contract connection, instantly flowing throughout his body. His previously weak body recovered at a visible speed, his dark golden scales regained their luster, and his soul power soared like a rocket.

Eight hundred thousand years, eight hundred and one hundred thousand years, eight hundred and two hundred thousand years... and finally it stabilized at eight hundred and fifty thousand years!
"This...this is the opportunity?" The Evil Emperor felt the unprecedented power within his body, his one eye wide open.

Breaking through 800,000 years should have been extremely difficult for him, requiring thousands or even tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation. However, he never expected that with the help of Zhou Sichen's breakthrough, he would achieve it so easily!

"Now I can really go toe-to-toe with Di Tian!" the Evil Emperor roared excitedly.

His gaze toward Zhou Sichen had completely changed; his previous wariness and resistance had vanished, replaced by awe and relief.

Fortunately, he did not choose to fight back. Otherwise, with Zhou Sichen's current strength, plus those ferocious beasts who had also broken through, he would probably have been forcibly killed and his soul ring and soul bone would have been plundered.

Zhou Sichen's breakthrough was a huge gain for all the contracted soul beasts. The Snow Empress, the Sea Princess, the Demon Emperor, and the Evil Emperor were slightly better off, since they were already at the level of ferocious beasts.

But Ah Da, Hellfire, Xiong Da, Hong Hong, and Little Mirror are different. At the beginning, the highest cultivation level among them was Hong Hong, who was comparable to a Celestial Emperor with 100,000 years of cultivation.

But what about now? Only a few years have passed? Their cultivation has already reached 850,000 years, directly comparable to the Beast God Di Tian!!

Although the strength of A-Da, Hellfire, Xiong Da, and Little Mirror is not enough to compare with the well-known ferocious beasts like Ice Emperor and Xiong Jun.

However, the enormous difference in their cultivation levels has already given them enough power to crush their ancestor!
For the Snow Empress, the Sea Princess, the Demon Emperor, and the Evil Emperor, who were already at the level of ferocious beasts, this meant a real surge in their strength.

After all, they all have strong foundations and their own unique skills. With their improved cultivation, their strength has naturally become even greater.

After Zhou Sichen calmed down from his breakthrough, he immediately withdrew his spiritual clone. Then, his ninth spirit ring shone, and the true form of the Evil Emperor appeared.

Feeling his own power surge, the Evil Emperor smiled smugly: "Si Chen, with the breakthrough you gave me this time, I really feel like I can beat that guy Di Tian."

Zhou Sichen slowly stood up and smiled: "I won't interfere in your battle, but I also think that your strength is now not far from that of Di Tian."

The Evil Emperor raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by 'not far away'? I am truly not afraid of Di Tian."

Zhou Sichen rolled her eyes: "Oh, right, right."

Standing in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian felt the terrifying soul power fluctuations coming from all directions. A complex emotion flashed in his golden vertical pupils:
"This kid... he's a monster."

He could sense that Xue Di, Hellfire, Xiong Da... their strength was already infinitely close to his own.

"It seems the days ahead won't be boring." Di Tian chuckled softly, emanating a demigod-level aura that resonated with the breakthrough beasts.

In the underground space, the Evil Emperor felt the surging power within his body and said triumphantly to Zhou Sichen, "Sichen, with the breakthrough you brought me this time, I really feel that I can defeat that guy Di Tian."

Zhou Sichen slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and revealed a playful smile: "I won't interfere in your battle, but I also think that your strength is now not far from that of Di Tian."

"What do you mean by 'not far away'?" The Evil Emperor raised an eyebrow: "I truly have no fear of Di Tian!"

Zhou Sichen rolled her eyes and replied perfunctorily, "Oh, right, right."
