Douluo: True and False Body of All Karmas

Chapter 55 The Fourth Soul Ring
Mingdu.

This is the capital of the Douluo Federation, the continent's second-largest city, second only to Shrek City. The Federal Parliament, the Central Army Corps, and the War God Temple are stationed here. For the Federation, Mingdu is the capital.

As one of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars, the Mingdu Spirit Pagoda, after years of renovation, now boasts eighty stories and is second only to the Spirit Pagoda capital of Shrek City in terms of prosperity. Its architectural form is very similar to the East China Sea Spirit Pagoda, exceeding five hundred meters in height. Its octagonal base occupies a vast area, narrowing inwards every ten floors until it reaches the spire at the top.

Gu Yue paid for three tickets, and the Red King, who had transformed into a human, led two people to the advanced spirit-raising platform, and the primeval forest appeared in front of the three people again.

The Scarlet King walked in front, spreading his spiritual power to scout, and said, "My Lord, the High-Level Spirit Ascension Platform is like the interior of the original Star Mixing Zone. It's vast and forested. It will be difficult to find the Ten Thousand Year Golden Dragon in a short time. Please understand."

Bai Xu didn't care at all and said comfortingly: "No problem, then take a walk in the forest and see the species diversity of the former star fighting spirit beasts."

"Yes."

The trio seemed somewhat relaxed under the leadership of the Scarlet King, a common occurrence. Younger generations of spirit master families were often led to the Spirit Ascension Platform by their highly accomplished elders. Some didn't even require the younger generation to take action, simply waiting for the elders to finish slaying the spirit beasts and absorbing their spiritual energy.

While the Scarlet King wasn't a spiritual beast, he had reached the level of a fierce beast, and his spiritual power was far more profound than that of a typical Titled Douluo. His scattering and patrolling the surroundings was naturally far more effective than Bai Xu and Gu Yue's reconnaissance spirit abilities. Led by the Scarlet King, the two of them took a leisurely stroll through the ten-thousand-year-old Star Dou Forest.

"My lord, this is a ten thousand year old Ice and Fire Demon Tiger. It is an integration of ice and fire and is good at close range attacks. If it were still alive, it would produce two soul rings after being killed by a soul master. It should be extinct now." The Red King continued to introduce it to Bai Xu.

Bai Xu nodded as he looked at the pure white tiger with red and blue wings on its back. The slightest hint of the Red King's aura frightened the Ten Thousand Year Old Ice and Fire Demon Tiger into fleeing with its tail between its legs.

boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the forest and the ground shook slightly. It seemed that a huge monster was running. The noise was so loud that the beasts within a radius of dozens of miles panicked.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xu wondered.

The Scarlet King's mental power swept over, and his face suddenly became a little dazed. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "What a familiar scene. The Emperor's auspicious beast is hunting, and the one he is chasing is none other than the Cyclops."

After he finished speaking, the Red King waved his hand and wrapped Bai Xu and Gu Yue with his soul power. They rose into the air together and saw an astonishing scene ten miles away.

Under the trampling of the Cyclops, the forest fell down like wheat seedlings; followed by an overwhelming shock wave, and an extremely majestic figure leaped over and landed with a loud bang, causing the earth to shake. The tremor felt by Bai Xu and others was caused by the Cyclops' jump.

Chasing behind it was a ten-thousand-year-old three-eyed golden lion. Its overall form resembled a lion, but its four claws resembled dragons, each treading a golden flame. Beneath its fur lay what appeared to be fine golden scales. A third vertical pupil had sprouted from its forehead, but now it was closed, leaving only a slit.

"You have a story, would you like to hear it?"

The Scarlet King sighed, his face filled with helplessness and bitterness, his expression suddenly becoming more vicissitudes of life. "In the beginning, it was me who guarded the Emperor's Auspicious Beast, preventing it from coming to any harm. Ten thousand years ago, it was captured by Shrek Academy while chasing the Cyclops. At that time, the Shrek Academy's powerful warrior was named Xuan Zi. I was no match for him, and with the Auspicious Beast in their hands, I had no choice but to agree to their terms and was extorted for my spirit ring and spirit bone."

"Now that I think about it, the auspicious beast went to the human world. It must have been humans who took advantage of my absence to do something. Perhaps it was forced to take me away, but the auspicious beast didn't tell us in time. Later, I learned that Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao was also among them."

"This moment is just like that moment." Gu Yue's eyes flickered as she watched with a hint of meaning as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hunted down the Cyclops and devoured the beast's brain. Ten thousand years ago, she hadn't revived, so naturally, she didn't know any of this.

After hearing Chi Wang's narration, Bai Xu remembered this plot, but it was not important. The three of them took a detour and simply searched for the breath of the golden dragon right above the stars.

One day later in the Spirit Ascension Platform

The powerful mental power of the Red King swept across almost the entire forest, and finally found a 50,000-year-old golden dragon in a corner of the advanced spirit-raising platform.

Gu Yue explained, "This soul beast isn't a pure dragon. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion contains a trace of golden dragon blood. After the Spirit Ascension Platform mastered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, they wanted to further restore it into a golden dragon. However, no matter how many resources the Spirit Transmission Tower expended, it couldn't create a pure-blooded golden dragon. So, they had to compromise and mix in some other bloodlines."

"However, this golden dragon has grown to the 50,000-year level, so it undoubtedly possesses the ultimate power attribute."

Bai Xu nodded and said, "Let's get started."

The ultimate attributes of the 50,000-year level are indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but even if the Red King is injured, it cannot be shaken by it. After a fight, the golden dragon fell powerlessly at Bai Xu's feet, dying.

Bai Xu looked at the golden dragon's body. The golden scales moved rhythmically with the golden dragon's breathing, and the collisions between them seemed to make a crisp metallic sound.

"Fifty thousand years old." Bai Xu frowned slightly and slowly held up the Fruit of All Karmas. "According to this calculation, my fifth spirit ring seems to be a hundred thousand years old? I want that Qiluo Tulip!"

After saying that, the Fruit of All Karmas trembled slightly and slowly floated above the golden dragon's head. The surrounding space was slightly cracked, forming black cracks that even wrapped Bai Xu. Time and space underwent subtle changes, and fragments flowed like a whirlpool.

Gu Yue suddenly felt a sense of disharmony in his mind. When he looked clearly again, Bai Xu was already sitting cross-legged and absorbing the soul ring.

"After absorbing the ten thousand year old golden-haired lion mastiff, his physical strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Now he can even absorb the fifty thousand year old golden dragon." Gu Yue looked at the green flames all over Bai Xu's body, and felt that the dragon bloodline was like a toy in front of this kind of martial spirit.

"Cause and Effect Martial Soul. Even a divinely bestowed Martial Soul cannot compare to it~~~"

In Gu Yue's mind now, the only way to fight against the Karma Martial Soul is to merge the gold and silver bloodlines and let the Dragon God reappear in the form of a martial soul.

After a while, as Bai Xu finished absorbing, his soul power reached level 43. Four circles of soul rings, purple, purple, black, and black, surrounded him. The spike-tailed swifts on his shoulders rubbed Bai Xu's cheek happily, making a soft "dove" sound from time to time.

However, when the Fruit of All Karmas returned to his body, the two ten-thousand-year soul rings disappeared, and his soul power aura dropped sharply, being suppressed to level 26.

Such a scene has already appeared in Gu Yue's mind. When Bai Xu revealed his aura in public, what would the people around him look like?
