Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

An aged hand covered in pale golden soul power reached out from the side, its five fingers spread wide, and lightly grasped the black net containing the bone-corroding poison in its palm. The pale golden soul power shield was like an unbreakable glass, and no matter how the spider web corroded and penetrated, not even a ripple appeared.

Another ancient hand, also covered in pale gold soul power, arrived first, ignoring the Death Spider King's frantically twisting body in the air, its shrill, spraying dark green venom, and the layers upon layers of death nets it had woven. With two fingers like iron pincers, it firmly clamped down on this nearly ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"Its size was so small when it was weak, but its size increased dramatically after breaking through ten thousand years. It truly deserves to be called the Death Spider King."

The aged voice carried a hint of admiration, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all; he only exerted a little force with two fingers.

Pfft!

With a muffled bang, dark green fluid mixed with shattered carapace splattered everywhere. A top-tier soul beast with nearly ten thousand years of cultivation perished silently without even having a chance to struggle.

With a casual toss, the remains of the Death Spider King were thrown into the group of soul beast corpses. Apart from the purple soul rings that were gradually condensing on its body, it looked no different from the other corpses.

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook off the spider fluid that had gotten on his hands. Fortunately, he had used his soul power to block it when he attacked earlier. Otherwise, although the Death Spider King's venom could not penetrate his powerful body forged with his abundant blood and qi, having some unknown liquid stuck to his hands would still be quite unpleasant.

Looking at Tang Shan, whose breathing was steady, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, you've successfully absorbed it. That's great. I just wonder what kind of soul skill this Golden Behemoth will bring you?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall Tang Shan's two soul skills that shouldn't have appeared at the thousand-year soul ring stage, and Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression became somewhat tense.

The invisible soul power dissipated, and the Death Spider King's thousand-year soul ring was not absorbed. As time went by, it disintegrated, turned into the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and was reintegrated into the cycle of heaven and earth.

Subconsciously, Golden Crocodile Douluo's gaze fell on the Death Spider Emperor again, his eyes conveying an inscrutable meaning.

"The Death Spider King, I hope you see reality clearly. There are some things we haven't dealt with, but that doesn't mean we've given up on you..."

The aged voice echoed in the open space, unheard by anyone.

……

It took Tang Shan five days to absorb the soul ring. When he emerged from his long period of cultivation, it was already the morning of the sixth day.

Thick clouds and fog shrouded the area above, and even though the daylight was bright, not a single ray of light could penetrate into the forest.

"Kid, how's the haul?"

As the voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo rang out, Tang Shan subconsciously turned around and saw that the other party was playing with a small spider with six legs, struggling vigorously and emitting faint spiritual fluctuations.

Seeing Tang Shan staring curiously at the spider in his hand, Golden Crocodile Douluo casually squeezed it, and with a crackling sound, the spider, which was emitting subtle spiritual fluctuations, silently perished.

"This is the Soul-Devouring Spider King, a top-tier evil soul beast. It has a dark mind and vicious methods. Be careful if you encounter it in the future."

Tang Shan's lips twitched. He didn't know whether Golden Crocodile Douluo was simply giving a reminder or implying something.

"How do you feel after absorbing it?"

Upon hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's question, Tang Shan closed his eyes and sensed his condition—his bones and muscles were strong, his soul power was vibrant, his blood and qi were abundant, and his mental energy was plentiful; he was in the best possible condition.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile is in great shape."

"it is good!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo praised him, but seeing the hesitation on Tang Shan's face, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Reflecting on their interactions over the past few years and the attitudes of the various Douluo towards him, Tang Shan felt that there was no need to hide certain things. Unless he would never use them again, they would be discovered sooner or later.

Thinking of this, his concerns completely disappeared, and he said very decisively, "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, when I absorbed the soul ring, I also absorbed two external soul bones."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Ah, an external soul bone, that's pretty good."

The next moment, he suddenly realized what was happening, and in a flash, he was in front of Tang Shan: "Tang Shan, you've obtained another external soul bone?"

Tang Shan didn't expect Golden Crocodile Douluo to react so strongly. Hearing the other party's question, he nodded in affirmation.

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath, barely calming his turbulent emotions, his voice still trembling slightly: "What kind of external soul bone is it?"

"It's the right metacarpal bone of the Golden Behemoth and..."

Before Tangshan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the excited Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"It's the most powerful hand of the Golden Behemoth!"

Tangshan could only nod in affirmation.

"Good good!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo was excited and also looking forward to seeing what kind of terrifying power Tang Shan would unleash when he became a Title Douluo and used the soul skill of this external soul bone, and whether he could recreate the glory of Golden Behemoth tearing apart a true dragon.

Di Tian! Do you have any manners?!

Gu Yue?! Have you gotten too cocky, or has the Silver Dragon King lost his grip on the spear?!

"Kid, I'll use my pressure to help you fuse right now."

Tang Shan had no choice but to gather his soul power in his palm as required by Golden Crocodile Douluo.

An invisible and formless, immense pressure suddenly descended, as if an ancient divine mountain had been crushed.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had a clear understanding of Tang Shan's ability to withstand pressure, and immediately unleashed a soul power pressure of up to level 55.

Boom!

An invisible pressure enveloped his entire body. Faced with the soul power pressure that even ordinary Soul Kings would have to exert all their strength and be drenched in sweat to barely resist, Tang Shan only slightly rippled his soul power, and the mountain-like pressure receded like the tide, silently dissolving into nothingness.

Part of the reason is that his original martial soul has perfectly merged with his body and has undergone a second awakening, making him increasingly inhuman in terms of withstanding pressure. Of course, the most important factor is that Tang Shan's physical condition is now incredibly strong.

Having absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old golden Behemoth spirit ring, his endurance limit was now firmly at the Soul Emperor level. Let alone level fifty-five, he could withstand even if Golden Crocodile Douluo directly pushed him to level sixty.

As time went on, the pressure increased at an alarming rate, the air crackled and popped, and cracks spread across the ground. However, before the pressure could reach the limit that Tang Shan's body could withstand, his right-hand soul bone gave way first.

With a resounding clang like metal clashing, Tang Shan felt a scorching heat in his right palm. Then, streams of heat, centered on his right palm, swept through his limbs and bones like surging magma. Wherever it passed, bones crackled and popped, muscle fibers vibrated wildly, and all the major tissues and cells in his body were strengthened and reshaped by this domineering heat, undergoing subtle transformations.

With a crisp sound of flesh tearing, five sharp claws, each about a foot long and gleaming with a chilling light, suddenly emerged from Tang Shan's five fingers.

Perhaps it was its first display, but its claws were incredibly sharp, piercing Tang Shan's flesh directly, and bright red blood splattered on this gloomy land.

"The fusion is complete?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Behemoth claw extending from Tang Shan's palm.

Tang Shan nodded: "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, it has been completely integrated."

"Attack me and try out the Soul Bone Skill."

Golden Crocodile Douluo withdrew his soul power pressure and spoke to Tang Shan.

Tang Shan hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

Who is on the other side? It's a Limit Douluo. How could he, a mere Soul Master, possibly break through his defenses?

With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated. He first calmed his mind to comprehend the soul skill attached to the right palm bone of the Golden Behemoth, and then mobilized the increasingly solid and powerful soul power in his body to pour into it.

hum!

A deep, resonant sound vibrated in the eardrums, the surrounding air resonated violently, and visible ripples spread out from Tang Shan's right palm. His three-inch-long Behemoth claws suddenly swelled, their sharp claws as cold as scimitars, and a massive claw shadow materialized in front of his right hand, a fierce gust of wind rustling the surrounding vegetation. Five claw shadows, almost simultaneously, flashed past with a piercing whistling sound, heading straight for Golden Crocodile Douluo.

The Soul Bone Technique, "Tearing Heaven and Earth," is activated.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression hardened, and his soul power surged forth, condensing into an invisible shield in front of him.

Tear--!

The sound exploded like the piercing clang of metal, making one feel irritable and uncomfortable.

The powerful soul energy shield rippled outwards before returning to calm.

"The effect is very strong. I just used the full strength of a Soul Emperor's soul power to defend, and it was able to slightly shake it, which is already quite good."

Tang Shan was not disappointed by the seemingly less powerful soul skill than he had expected. Putting aside the fact that it was an external soul bone, the power of which would increase with strength, the defensive power alone was definitely more than that of an ordinary Soul Emperor.

Don't forget, Golden Crocodile Douluo is a Limit Douluo. Putting everything else aside, just in terms of the purity and refinement of his soul power, he surpasses Soul Emperor by many times.

Even if the total amount of soul power released is the same, the difference in their inherent quality means that the resulting defensive capabilities are incomparable.

"What's this soul skill called?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo withdrew his soul power and inquired.

"It's called 'Tearing Heaven and Earth,' and its effect is to unleash a golden Behemoth claw attack of the corresponding soul power level based on the amount of soul power I release."

Golden Crocodile Douluo: "How much soul power did you just use?"

"About 30%."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes widened: "If it's only 30% of its soul power and it's already that strong, what would happen if it were released at full power?"

What Tang Shan didn't actually say was that the current standard for attack power is the Golden Behemoth, but if the other external soul bone in the body reaches a certain level, it can evolve the Golden Behemoth right palm bone by consuming its origin. After it evolves, the standard for calculating its strength may become the Amethyst Behemoth, and its power will be raised to another level.

"Alright, that's about enough testing. I was originally going to test your soul power, but since it's being used to unleash a soul bone skill, there's no need to rush."

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head, walked up to Tang Shan, and prepared to take him away.

Tang Shan did not resist, allowing the powerful soul force to envelop him, and then he rose from the ground and flew towards the outer edge of this gloomy place.

Inside the soul power shield, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt as if he had overlooked something. With his powerful mental strength, he began to rewind his memories little by little.

Soul Bone Skill Release, Soul Bone Fusion, Release of One's Own Aura, Tang Shan's Introduction to External Soul Bones...

Suddenly, Golden Crocodile Douluo stopped instantly. If Tang Shan hadn't been constantly enveloped by his soul power, he might have been thrown out directly.

"Tang Shan, did you just say that you fused two external soul bones?"

Upon hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's question, Tang Shan, who was somewhat bewildered by the sudden stop, finally realized that he had been interrupted by Golden Crocodile Douluo's introduction several times, causing him to forget about the external soul bone.

"Yes."

Upon hearing Tangshan's reply, Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath and fell into a long silence.

He really wanted to ask, it's one thing for a soul beast to produce two soul bones, but is it reasonable for it to produce two external soul bones in a row?

If Tangshan knew what Golden Crocodile Douluo was thinking, he would definitely tell him, "It makes sense, how could it not make sense? It makes perfect sense!"

At the very least, the soul bone I obtained was from a Golden Behemoth that surpassed even super soul beasts, and it also possessed a certain amount of Amethyst Behemoth bloodline. Unlike some people who continuously obtained soul bones from hundred-year-old soul beasts, that's truly unreasonable.

The most outrageous one was obtained from a wolf-type soul beast that had neither bloodline nor mutation. That's unreasonable... no, it should be called a miracle!

"Should I go down and help you absorb it again?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo remained silent for a long time, telling himself that some people are destined to be extraordinary, and it is not surprising that anything happens to them. Only then did he suppress the surging thoughts in his heart and ask Tang Shan.

“Grandpa Golden Crocodile, my second external soul bone is a bit special. After I fused it, it directly reached a state of perfect fusion.”

To prevent Golden Crocodile Douluo from interrupting him again, Tang Shan noticeably sped up his speech: "It can be considered an external soul bone, but it can't be completely defined as an external soul bone, because it is directly fused with my soul power. Its effects increase as my soul power increases. The source should be the thin purple crystal bloodline in Golden Behemoth's body. The two seem to be unable to coexist, which is why two external soul bones appeared."
