Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 243 Plan
Lin Xingyu merely sneered inwardly at Leng Yulai's claim that all orders came from Harosa, thus absolving himself of any responsibility, and didn't believe her in the slightest.

You are one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, after all. If you are unwilling, Harosa can't just attack you directly.

"What benefits did Harosa promise you?"

A gentle, warm voice rang out, and Leng Yulai's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal.

"He promised to give me some secret methods of the Holy Spirit Cult."

“Harosa values ​​you highly. He is a true Limit Douluo. Mu Ye can’t be by your side all the time. If Harosa hadn’t been in such a hurry this time, he would have had plenty of time to lie in wait. If you are willing to let me go, I can help you deal with him.” Leng Yulai’s voice was as pleasant as ever.

"Did he tell you why he was targeting me?"

"No, Harosana is quite reclusive even within the Holy Spirit Cult. He usually just focuses on ascetic practices. This time, he targeted you, and probably no one but himself knows about it."

"Even with your strength... well, powerful, perhaps he knew about your talent? And wanted to nip this genius in the bud?"

At this point, Leng Yulai hesitated. She never expected that a monster capable of fighting opponents twenty levels higher would appear in this era.

Even Yun Ming in his youth would probably find it difficult to do this at his age.

Leng Yulai's vision blurred for a moment.

Lin Xingyu nodded silently. It was normal that he didn't know, but he still couldn't help but look at Leng Yulai with some disdain.

That's utterly useless!

Seemingly noticing the change in Lin Xingyu's gaze, Leng Yulai asked in a low voice:

“What do you think of our cooperation? After all, we don’t have any deep-seated hatred between us. Whether it’s helping you deal with Harosa or giving you information about the Holy Spirit Cult, we have a lot to cooperate on.”

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Xingyu replied calmly and then stopped talking, beginning to ponder the ins and outs of this incident.

To paraphrase a saying, Leng Yulai's current act of yielding to me doesn't mean she knows she's wrong; it simply means she's afraid.

I definitely can't let her go. I've already made arrangements for Leng Yulai's use, not to mention that I paid a considerable price in this battle.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that all those level-nine soul tools were destroyed was heartbreaking.

If it happened again, without the help of those level-nine soul tools, I might not be able to defeat Leng Yulai.

Not to mention, many of the level-nine soul tools were gifts that Zhenhua gave him when he first became Zhenhua's apprentice.

At that time, his soul power was very low, and he did not have enough soul power to provide the level nine soul tools. Therefore, these soul tools were all in self-charging mode, and only his soul power was needed as a catalyst.

Even though soul tools have developed significantly over the past ten thousand years, with the emergence of soul-guided cars and soul-guided aircraft that can convert other forms of energy into soul power, the cost of creating a level nine soul tool that can be used by low-level soul masters is still astronomical.

It far exceeds the standard of a normal level nine soul tool, and even the number of times it can be used is limited.

How could I not feel heartbroken if it's all scrapped now!
What kind of person is Hades Douluo Harosa?

Having read the original text, Lin Xingyu almost instantly came to the answer: a person whose everything revolved around his own strength.

If there is no conflict of interest, why would he target me?

Lin Xingyu felt that although his strength was not bad, he had not yet revealed it to them.

Excluding external factors, it can only be due to Harosa's own reasons.

As the chosen one of the new generation in Douluo Continent, there are only a handful of people who can influence him.

The Holy Spirit Cult is impossible.

Excluding other factors, all that remains is the world's will that he experiences as the chosen one.

Who is the world's will in Douluo Continent now?
Tang Hao!

He is devouring the will of Douluo Continent, attempting to become the new master of the plane.

It could only be him. It's impossible for someone to be the chosen one of the planes in Douluo Continent, only to feel the will of the underworld instead.

So essentially, it was Tang Hao who attacked him, but the reason he didn't kill him outright was probably because of the Abyss Plane, because of the so-called grand plan for ten thousand years.

The so-called grand plan for ten thousand years is, in the end, just that. After generation after generation of consumption, the world's origin will eventually be depleted.

Just like growing plants, if you want Douluo Star to become strong, you need to fertilize it and add nutrients.

The Abyss Plane is the chosen nourishment. We use various methods to continuously attract the Abyss Plane, and finally, when the Abyss Plane has no way to escape, we kill it here.

He wanted Douluo Star to devour him so that he could advance in rank.

Tang Hao is not personally involved now, probably because he doesn't want to be exposed to the Abyss Plane. When hunting, how can you put a trap on your prey and startle it?

In other words, the Abyss Dimension could probably still escape at this point.

Lin Xingyu didn't bother to think about why Tang Hao had attacked him. Maybe it was during the Golden Tree incident that he caught their attention, or maybe it was something earlier. But what had happened was done, and all he could do now was deal with it.

According to the original plan, it would only take a few years for the Abyss to be completely bound to Douluo Continent.

Thinking it over and acting on it, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but take another look at his own state.

"My soul power has reached level 74."

During the battle, his soul power achieved another level of breakthrough.

The Golden Body realm is forged through the refinement of the spirit, creating an immortal, indestructible, and indestructible essence.

Combat is the best catalyst for reaching this level.

"In addition, there is a special kind of energy..."

As Lin Xingyu murmured, he raised his hand, revealing a light filled with killing intent and destruction. In the battle with Leng Yulai, her unrestrained attacks ultimately led to the death of many lives in the sea.

During this process, Lin Xingyu clearly felt that he had absorbed a special power. This power was very weak, but it did increase his soul power.

"It wasn't direct plunder, but rather the act of killing and destruction that responded to some kind of rule, allowing my soul power to be enhanced."

"The first evolution of a level 30 martial soul is to make certain improvements to its martial soul."

"The second evolution of a level 50 spirit martial soul grants it a corresponding domain, allowing it to begin influencing the outside world to a certain extent. Subsequent spirit martial soul awakenings are more about developing one's own power."

"At level 70, the Martial Soul undergoes its third evolution. Unleashing the power of the Martial Soul itself is an ability of the Soul Saint realm, while the changes brought about by the Martial Soul are the sublimation of attributes."

"Not only has it unified its own corresponding soul power attributes, but each attribute has also been enhanced. The flames are hotter, the lightning is more explosive, the metal is sharper and stronger, and the stellar attribute allows him to sense the power of the stars anytime, anywhere, whether it is day or night."

"The attributes of killing and destruction, which are more intuitive, allow for a more relaxed understanding of the corresponding laws. Furthermore, when corresponding events occur in the surrounding environment, one can gain corresponding growth." "In this way, there will be a faster path to further advancement."

"Although there is still a lot of life essence, we cannot sit idly by and use it all up."

There are many battles and killings taking place there, yet it doesn't arouse hostility from others?

As for casually slaughtering civilians, Lin Xingyu felt that his morality hadn't fallen to that level.

"The Blood God Legion!"

Lin Xingyu instantly had his answer: fighting against the beings of the Abyss Plane was the best option, both for refining his golden body and for the feedback from the carnage.

After all, the killing and destruction he pursues only requires that there are corresponding events around him that respond to the rules.

Just like this time, he didn't kill any life with his own hands. It was Leng Yulai who recklessly destroyed the life around him, and he felt a slight boost. Although it was very little, it was still there.

Having found the answer, Lin Xingyu instantly made up his mind.

Spend some time in the Blood God Legion.

As for Shrek Academy, with my limited strength, all I'd get is to train on Seagod Island. The only other benefit would be cheaper medicine there.

Graduation! Graduation is here!
He also went to the Blood God Legion. He might lack other things, but the resources he obtained from the Blood God Legion were definitely the most in the entire Federation.

That's more than enough for him right now. Besides, once he gets there, right under the nose of the Abyss Plane, if Tang Hao has any reservations, he'll be even less likely to attack him.

That way, I might reach level 90 really quickly.

Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu's expression suddenly became a little strange. The reason he initially contacted Yuanen Yehui was to connect with the demon plane through her.

Judging from this, I'm afraid I'll reach level 90 in just a few years, at which point I'll be able to open a deep abyss passage myself.

The matter was resolved directly.

Lin Xingyu was quite confident in his combat strength. He believed that once he reached level 90, he could team up with Mu Ye and take down the Demon Lord Alba without any pressure.

After planning the route, Lin Xingyu raised his hand and pulled out a dark red short sword.

This dark red short sword, though exuding a chilling aura, had broken patterns on it, with only a few parts remaining.

Upon seeing the short sword, Leng Yulai's pupils constricted sharply.

Demon God Sword!
Disposable wonder!
This is a one-time artifact that she specially forged with a lot of effort. However, due to the lack of a large number of vengeful spirits, it still has many flaws. It is only a part that has been completed and does not have much power yet.

This is the most vicious weapon developed by the Holy Spirit Cult. It requires countless vengeful spirits to be forged into it. Once forged, anyone hit by this sword will have their soul directly devoured and cursed.

Under the divine, there is basically no chance of survival but death.

"clang!"

With a light flick of the fingers, a crisp sound rang out, and "Netherworld Heart" was activated.

After several days of rest and recovery, his mental energy was rapidly depleted again, and vengeful spirits appeared before Lin Xingyu.

A dim light shone down, and the dark red short sword seemed to be corroded by sulfuric acid. With a loud bang, the short sword became pitted and cratered in an instant, and wisps of white smoke appeared.

A quick glance revealed that these grotesque souls were almost all vengeful spirits, including men, women, the old and the young, with the vast majority being human and only a small portion being soul beasts.

Humans have richer emotions, far surpass the intelligence of spirit beasts, and are more likely to transform into vengeful spirits after suffering torment.

The "Heart of the Underworld" continues to operate, trapping these vengeful spirits in place, controlling and shaping them.

It begins with the souls of the spirit beasts. A dark light descends, and through the shaping of the souls by the "Heart of the Netherworld," pure white smoke rises, making these souls increasingly pure.

The ferocious look on its body gradually diminished, until it reached a limit. Then, the Myriad Abyss Domain expanded, directly engulfing the souls of the spirit beasts on the spot.

"With this supernatural power that symbolizes the soul, I have stronger control over my soul, and when I use the domain to devour it, there is less wear and tear, which allows me to better preserve the soul's potential."

"It can even retain some memories."

After quickly processing the souls of all the soul beasts, Lin Xingyu turned his attention to the souls of the humans.

This time, he still used the "Netherworld Heart" to erase the impurities in these souls. However, after erasing the impurities and restoring these vengeful spirits to normal souls, he did not use the Myriad Abyss Domain to devour and refine these souls.

Instead, these souls were allowed to return to the heavens and earth.

Although Lin Xingyu was unsure of the final destination of these souls or whether they could be reincarnated, even letting them return to the world and find peace was better than being refined by humans.

"puff!"

Lin Xingyu turned to look at the direction from which the sound came and saw Leng Yulai coughing up blood, her face pale. He immediately laughed.

This girl is trying to commit suicide. Just a moment ago she had a strong will to live, but now that she sees she can control her soul, she wants to end her own life. She's really quick.

Lin Xingyu kindly suggested, "Why don't you try biting your tongue to commit suicide? I've heard that biting your tongue to commit suicide doesn't mean you die from biting it off. Instead, it means that after you bite off your tongue, the blood flows back into your trachea and suffocates you. I've never seen it before. Why don't you show me? I've sealed not only your soul power but also your mental power. You definitely won't be able to commit suicide like this."

"Humph!"

Leng Yulai closed her eyes and lay down weakly on the sofa.

Seeing that Leng Yulai was no longer paying attention to him, Lin Xingyu closed his eyes and focused on recovering the mental energy he had just used up.

a long time.

Once he was fully charged, he walked towards Leng Yulai.

Seeing Lin Xingyu approaching, Leng Yulai's heart sank. She thought of the souls she had tormented into vengeful spirits in the past, and how she herself had fallen into the hands of someone skilled at manipulating souls.

Does all of this seem to be a cycle?
“If you keep me, you can gain more. The benefits I can bring you are far greater than if you were to extract my soul.”

Unwilling to give up, Leng Yulai tried to sense her own power while attempting to persuade him once again.

Lin Xingyu smiled.

"Don't worry, a Soul Master of your level is quite rare. You are far more useful alive than dead. We just need to do a little something to your soul."

Leng Yulai stared intently at Lin Xingyu, her eyes filled with deep resentment.

Lin Xingyu's right index finger, glowing with a dark light, gently landed on Leng Yulai's brow.

"Netherworld Heart" soul modification begins!
