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

As the saying goes, to understand Tang Buddha, to comprehend Tang Buddha, and to become Tang Buddha. While it might not turn the divine realm into one's own backyard, wouldn't it be more liberating to allow it to operate according to one's own rules to a certain extent?

What if another comrade from our hometown transmigrates in the future? We can't let him continue to struggle and suffer in the lower planes, can we? Even if he has to endure the trials of his own destiny, after becoming a god, he must feel the warmth of home.

P.S.: This is merely a preview of the future situation in the God Realm. If the protagonist accidentally breaks through to the Supreme God King level, he won't need to form an alliance anymore, right? Also, please don't overthink it; the protagonist won't be doing anything earth-shattering in Douluo Continent. As I said at the beginning, the protagonist is just an ordinary person.

Chapter 542 Power Domination, Exaggerated Amplification

Seeing that Tang Shan smiled without saying anything, Gu Yue did not press him further. He had previously said that he had some secrets that he could not tell her.

Gu Yue didn't care that Tang Shan was hiding anything from her; Gu Yue only cared whether Tang Shan cared about her. All of his actions since she confessed her feelings had already explained everything.

"By the way, did you spot him before you came in?" Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flickered, and she suddenly remembered something.

Tang Shan nodded slightly: "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, huh? Quite a large energy source, and its strength is passable."

With Tang Shan's mental strength, he certainly couldn't scan the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from a distance. However, his Vajra Indestructible level internal martial arts were unaffected by this. He could even lock the soul from a thousand miles away. Not to mention that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King still posed a certain threat. How could Tang Shan not sense its presence?

"What do you plan to do?" Gu Yue asked curiously. To avoid Tang Shan misunderstanding, she added, "Although all the soul beasts in Douluo Continent are affected by my life force, I only really care about the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. I don't care about the other soul beasts, let alone the sea soul beasts that betrayed me and turned to worship the Sea God."

Tang Shan stretched out his arm and pulled Gu Yue into his embrace, his chin gently brushing against the girl's silver hair, his voice soft: "I don't worship the sea god, to be precise, I'm the sea god's enemy."

When Tang Shan thought of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he couldn't help but think of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife and his daughter.

The former is one of the ultimate villains 20,000 years later, while the latter also loves the person in his arms.

As for why the Demon Emperor is considered just one of the ultimate villains in Douluo Continent, the reason is simple: there were too many villains and behind-the-scenes manipulators during the Dragon King era. All forces on Douluo Star were tainted with a layer of filth, and none of them were good people.

Tang Shan curled his fingers and gently stroked Gu Yue's nose: "You're really charming."

Gu Yue's earlobes turned slightly red. Tang Shan's pure and sudden praise left her somewhat at a loss, and she subconsciously rubbed against Tang Shan's chin.

Tang Shan tightened his grip on Gu Yue's arm and, after calming himself down, spoke gently: "If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is truly a threat to us, then let's severely injure him and subdue him. It's perfect timing, as I haven't yet tested my peak combat power after breaking through to the Title Douluo level."

Thinking about the strength of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the original timeline, Tang Shan became even more excited. The other party had already taken several steps on the path to godhood. In terms of strength, he might be on par with Di Tian, ​​but in terms of realm, he might be several points higher than Di Tian.

If we divide the combat power of Limit Douluo into four levels, then the Quasi-Demigod, Demigod, and Quasi-God in Legend of the Dragon King correspond to the first three levels. As for the last level, it belongs to a very small number of Limit Douluo.

If placed among soul beasts, they would be Di Tian or the Deep Sea Demon Whale King; if placed among humans, they would be Yun Ming.

In terms of true cultivation level, Tang Shan may be far inferior to these soul beasts or humans, but in terms of combat power, that is debatable. You should know that after Tang Shan broke through to the Title Douluo level, his most overpowered soul skill, Dharma Image Heaven and Earth, had an exaggerated 50% increase in body size with each level. If combined with the Silver Awakening and the power boost, Tang Shan simply cannot imagine how exaggerated his strength will become.

What if we combine the Golden Awakening, the Soul Bone Skill Great Power, the Titan Body, and the final Soul Skill's One-Hit Amplification?

Tangshan gave up on thinking; the only answer was a bunch of numbers with no mechanism whatsoever, and besides, the mechanism didn't matter.

The characteristic of the ultimate strength attribute is the force-wrist collision method. In layman's terms, it directly pulls down the mechanism and then uses numerical values ​​to collide. My skills may not be as good as yours, but I can force you to the track I am best at and then compare.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. If he attacks us, you should seriously injure him and then let me subdue him. If he’s not in the same place, then we’ll ignore him.” Gu Yue nodded happily, her eyebrows and eyes relaxing, becoming even more beautiful.

Tang Shan subconsciously swallowed, and looking at the pink and translucent "jelly," he couldn't resist and kissed it.

……

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Shan and Gu Yue walked into the crowd. Golden Crocodile Douluo opened his eyes, while the others were still cultivating.

Gu Yue directly transmitted her voice to Golden Crocodile Douluo: "Let's continue on our way. We don't need to disturb the others. Let them cultivate inside."

Golden Crocodile Douluo bowed slightly to Gu Yue: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Previously, Golden Crocodile Douluo had been pondering a very serious question: how should he address Gu Yue?

Judging from the relationship with Tangshan, Gu Yue is Tangshan's confidante, and I should be Gu Yue's elder.

The moment this idea was born, Golden Crocodile Douluo dismissed it. What a joke! It's perfectly normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to be of the same generation; that's called romance. If I were to call them that rashly, it would be like taking advantage of someone's kindness.

The great Buddha Tang has a deep understanding of this. Before I became a god, you called me "Little Third" and I didn't care. But if I become an enforcer of the divine realm, what should you call me? Before I became a god, I called you "Big Brother Dai" and I didn't care. But after I became a god, calling you "Mu Bai" is an honor. Don't be ungrateful.

After pondering for a while, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally came up with a suitable title. Ordinary Soul Masters call Title Douluos "Your Majesty," so it's not wrong for Title Douluos to call gods "Your Majesty," as both represent a noble status and an unattainable existence.

Given the abundance of vitality in this precious land, and the fact that his subordinates from the Spirit Hall had such an opportunity, Golden Crocodile Douluo, as their leader, had to show his appreciation.

With his exquisite control over his body, Tang Shan forcibly maintained a natural expression. He glanced at Gu Yue out of the corner of his eye and saw that the girl had returned to her previous dignified state, no longer the curious and adorable girl he had seen in his arms.

A sentence unconsciously flashed through Tangshan's mind: "My beauty and gentleness are only shown to you."

Gu Yue nodded and waved his hand, and the spatial passage to the outside world quietly opened. Golden Crocodile Douluo, Di Tian, ​​Gu Yue, and Tang Shan walked out of the demiplane one by one.

With his spiritual power drawing upon the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), Tang Shan levitated in mid-air, gazing up at the cloud-covered sky with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Rumble!

A flash of lightning was followed by a deafening roar. The enormous thunder sounded as if the heavens and earth were raging, giving people an unparalleled sense of awe.

The rain poured down, and large drops of water pounded into the boundless ocean, causing waves to surge and the spray to become increasingly turbulent.

The sun was obscured by thick clouds, the sky and earth were gloomy, and the air was unusually heavy, as if something bad was about to happen.

If they left immediately, with their mastery of spatial power, escaping this area would be no problem. However, seeing that his master had no intention of retreating, Di Tian decided to prepare for battle.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was even less flustered. Even though he was no match for his opponent in terms of current strength, he still had a god by his side. With a god by his side, what was there to fear?

Splash!

Even amidst the wind, rain, and thunder, the sound of water breaking was exceptionally clear. Looking in the direction of the sound, a small whirlpool could be seen quietly forming in the undulating waves in the distance.

The vortex glowed with a faint blue light and rotated rapidly clockwise. As it rotated, its volume expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tang Shan walked forward slowly, his aura rising. His soul power, blood energy, and spiritual power gradually stirred, and the fighting spirit in his eyes continued to rise, eventually transforming into a flame that seemed to burn out of Tang Shan's eyes.

Di Tian's eyes flickered slightly, and he stopped the soul power that was about to erupt from his body. To be honest, he was also very curious about what was so special about this human who had been chosen by the master.

Bang bang bang!

A heartbeat like a thunderclap emanated from Tang Shan's body. With the violent contraction of his heart, surging blood and qi flowed throughout his limbs and bones.

Click!

His dormant body was awakened, and energy flowed throughout his body. As the spirit rings appeared, Tang Shan's body began to slowly expand.

The whirlpool was expanding rapidly, and in just a few minutes it reached a diameter of several tens of meters. The surrounding seawater was stirred up and swept away, and the water level dropped rapidly, converging towards the huge whirlpool.

The bones were stretched, the tendons slowly lengthened, and the dense neural network transmitted all the changes in the body to Tang Shan's brain, giving him absolute control and dominion over this body full of enormous energy.

His muscles began to swell, as if he were inflating, and his entire body underwent dramatic changes every moment. His fingers slowly thickened, and in just a few breaths, they surpassed the size of a regular carrot, becoming as thick as a rolling pin. The dense muscle bundles resembled an explosive suit of muscle armor, draped over Tang Shan's body.

With a body measuring one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), this is Tang Shan's peak state without activating his soul skills. Despite his bulky appearance, every inch of his muscle is under Tang Shan's control. Whether it's spinning, exploding, or dodging, Tang Shan can make changes instantly without any inertial force affecting him.

Stepping forward, one after another, spirit rings appeared on Tang Shan's body. The four colors of spirit rings—black, purple, red, and light gold—shone brightly, pushing his aura even higher.

The diameter of the giant vortex has expanded to a hundred meters, with boundless seawater twisting and squeezing within it. If an ordinary defensive titled Douluo were to fall into it, even with his defenses at their maximum, his body would be torn to pieces in a very short time unless he possessed a rule-based soul skill like the Invincible Golden Body.

It's important to know that a cubic meter of water weighs a ton, and the energy contained in an ocean whirlpool that reaches hundreds of meters in diameter is simply unimaginable.

A clear blue light spread outwards from the center of a huge vortex, and the sky also turned azure, as if it were assimilated by the blue light and became a part of it.

"A domain? I have one too, but this should be the first time I've used it." Tang Shan murmured softly. A layer of hazy gray light spread outwards from his body. His fourth soul ring, the soul skill "My Will is Heavenly Power" bestowed by the golden-haired lion mastiff, was activated. His will transformed into a hazy gray current, surging into his spiritual domain. The next moment, the gray domain seemed to have received some kind of powerful tonic, and began to expand rapidly. Wherever it passed, the world did not change, and it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

Tang Shan did not expect that willpower could help expand the spiritual realm, because the two are already quite closely connected.

This gray area was automatically obtained by Tang Shan after breaking through to the Spirit Realm. It is called the Power Domination Field. Within the area covered by the field, the strength of one's own side is increased by 10%, and the strength of the enemy is weakened by 10%.

The seemingly huge boost is actually insignificant compared to Tang Shan's many overpowered soul skills. If it weren't for the special nature of today's opponent, Tang Shan might have kept this soul skill shelved and probably wouldn't have used it even after he became a god.

The gray area and the slowly spreading blue area collided silently, without a violent roar, only pure pressure and erosion.

The collision of the domains seemed to have thoroughly disturbed the ferocious beast hidden in the shadows. The vortex's rotation speed suddenly increased, and in just a few breaths, its diameter had reached a gigantic kilometer.

A massive blue body slowly emerged from the deep sea, the surrounding vast ocean silently bathed in a translucent sapphire-like luster.

hum!

The first soul skill, Self-Control, is activated. Every cell in the body is reflected in the mind, and the burly body shrinks slightly, but the height remains at one zhang.

The second soul skill, Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, is activated. Each level increases the size by 50%. Tang Shan is now 10 feet tall. With the condensation of the soul core and the training he has undergone, he has reached level 96, which is a 4800% increase in size.

It expanded rapidly, growing larger and larger in just a few breaths, reaching over 100 meters in height and soaring rapidly into the sky.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian's expression froze instantly. He backed away while looking at the rapidly expanding Tangshan, his mouth trembling, unsure of what to say.

Golden Crocodile Douluo also retreated rapidly. He had a premonition that a great battle was about to break out, so it was best to retreat as far away as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Expanding to a thousand feet, it still didn't stop. Tang Shan's body soared into the clouds. Looking down at the vortex, Tang Shan frowned slightly. At such a height, attacking the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would be quite difficult.

Fortunately, perhaps it wasn't necessary to go through all that trouble. Feeling the immense power within his body, surging yet still under his control, Tang Shan revealed a bright smile: "This is what I wanted."

……

Spirit world

Asura God's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at the towering Tangshan Mountain reflected in the water mirror. He was at a loss for words. He entered the Douluo Continent with his divine sense and briefly communicated with the hazy consciousness of the Douluo plane. Asura God obtained a permission that allowed him to view all the soul skills contained in the Douluo Continent plane.

Shura silently flipped through the pages, his expression growing increasingly strange with each page. Finally, unable to contain his urge to complain, he unleashed a string of curses in the Shura Blood Palace: "Damn, this is a soul skill that a being below the level of a god should possess! What's with this Invincible Golden Body? What the hell is this Dharma Image Heaven and Earth? And then there's the Fatal Strike, Fall, and this Corpse Explosion Technique."

What the hell is Corpse Explosion Technique? It even contains laws! What, are you saying that mortal corpses aren't enough for you to explode, and you want to explode divine corpses too?

Damn, this is some kind of explosive technique, and it's a complete set, even including a Soul Explosion technique. It really doesn't miss either the body or the soul.

While the God of Asura was complaining about the overpowered soul skills in Douluo Continent, the expressions of the three gods who were also paying attention to the lower realm were quite interesting.

Chapter 543 Battle: The Deep Sea Demon Whale King wins!

Poseidon, the god of the sea, wanted to take the opportunity to intervene, but the angels and demons watching closely were keeping a close eye on things, and coupled with his own limited strength, he could only let the matter drop in the end.

"Rakshasa, angel, when did you two join forces?" Poseidon asked angrily, looking at the two uninvited guests who had barged into his temple.

The angel and the Rakshasa exchanged a glance. Although they still disliked each other, Qian Renxue became the bond that united them. Coupled with the possible future of Tangshan, they decided to stop the Sea God's underhanded tactics.

"There are rules in the divine realm. Unless it involves their own successor, gods are never allowed to interfere with the mortal realm. Sea God, what were you trying to do just now?" As the one on the side of righteousness, the Angel God was in high spirits, pointing his angelic holy sword at Poseidon, and asked righteously.

The Rakshasa Goddess was not as docile as the Angel Goddess. She casually swung her Rakshasa Demon Scythe, leaving mysterious and inexplicable traces in the space with strange fluctuations of rules. She raised her deep purple eyes and looked at the Sea God with a mocking gaze, "What does it have to do with you that the two of us have joined forces?"

Poseidon's face turned pale and then red, feeling incredibly frustrated, but he could only swallow his anger and resentment.

In terms of strength, he was slightly better than the two gods before him, but only slightly better. If he were to encounter both of them at the same time, he would have no chance to fight back.

"Hmph, I'm just keeping an eye on the soul beast I keep in captivity," Poseidon retorted weakly, slamming the door of his temple shut.

The angels and Rakshasa didn't linger. They turned around and returned to the Angel Temple. They weren't afraid that Poseidon would cause any more trouble. The Douluo Continent didn't allow gods to exist. Let alone a complete god, even a little bit of divine power appearing in the lower realm would be as obvious as a fire in the night. Unless the God-King used the power of concepts, it would be impossible to deceive the perception of the God Realm and the gods. Unfortunately, the Sea God didn't have that.

His gaze returned to the mirror before him, and the Rakshasa God couldn't help but murmur in amazement, "Truly a monster. This level of combat power has already touched upon the level of a god, hasn't it?"

The angel nodded silently, looking at the towering Tang Shan in the mirror with awe in his eyes.

……

Standing a thousand feet tall, his body had reached the strength necessary to maintain that height. His power was like a vast ocean, surging and gathering within him. With every gesture, fine spatial cracks appeared.

To be precise, Tang Shan's current size is 4800 zhang, with a base height of 1 zhang, and his Dharma Image Heaven and Earth Soul Skill has an amplification of 4,800%.

Looking down at the azure sea below, Tang Shan felt an unparalleled sense of security filling his heart for the first time.
