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

The palace halls were resplendent in gold and jade, with dragons and phoenixes carved to display their majesty. The young emperor on the throne was even more awe-inspiring, exuding an aura of overwhelming power.

Despite the terrifying aura emanating from Qian Renxue, which combined divine power and imperial might, Ning Fengzhi tentatively spoke.

Ning Fengzhi never expected that his former student would now possess such a terrifying aura. If he hadn't repeatedly confirmed that this was purely the majesty of someone wielding great power, without the slightest mixing of soul power, he would have doubted whether the current Heavenly Dou Emperor was also a top-tier Title Douluo.

"There is no need to stop. The Star Luo territory we currently occupy has not yet reached the limit that our Heavenly Dou Empire can bear. The path of conquest continues forward."

Qian Renxue didn't give Ning Fengzhi a second glance, and calmly gave instructions to the other ministers. Now that the situation was settled, she no longer needed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's assistance. If the other party knew what was good for them, they might be able to retain their status as one of the top three sects in the future. If they didn't, destruction would come.

"Yes!" The ministers of the Heavenly Dou Empire answered in unison. They had already experienced the current emperor's iron-fisted methods during this period and would not want to make a fool of themselves and lead themselves to their deaths.

Ning Fengzhi remained calm, and his demeanor did not change even after Qian Renxue refuted him.

However, during the reign of Emperor Xueye, the spirited and commanding Ning Fengzhi was gone forever. Now, Qian Renxue holds the reins of power, and there is no room for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in her power structure.

Perhaps before long, Ning Fengzhi will disappear forever from this deep and vast palace.

……

One wave subsides only for another to rise. The surging waves crashed and washed over the six figures atop the sunken silver pillar, leaving them like dead men bound to a gallows, at the mercy of the wind and rain.

The towering waves, like a giant curtain, descended from the sky, striking the body with terrifying force.

"Ah!" Tang San roared to the sky, turning the pain in his body into decibels and desperately venting it out. His companions did similar things, either struggling hard or clenching their teeth. The torment they suffered had left a huge shadow in their hearts.

"Lord Poseidon, won't this attract the attention of the Sea God?"

In the deep sea, watching the increasingly turbulent waves under Poseidon's control, Little White, the chieftain of the Great White Shark, was somewhat worried.

Poseidon remained calm, his blood-red robes fluttering in the wind: "Don't worry, I'm just giving the successor of the Sea God further training. As long as he can withstand this body tempering, his physical qualities will definitely undergo a transformation."

Xiao Bai's lips twitched: You didn't mention at all the hidden injuries that such intense body training caused to the body.

With a gentle lift of her jade hand, her soul power, as vast as the ocean, surged forth once more, causing a massive surge of seawater to rise and another giant wave to crash against the shore.

Whoosh!

……

The vital energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of miles was gathered by the power of Tangshan's Soul Bone Technique and poured into his body.

The vital energy of heaven and earth entered the meridians, but before it could be integrated into the flesh and blood, it was directly divided up by several major consumers of vital energy in Tangshan's body, becoming the resources for their growth.

The three external soul bones and the remaining eight soul rings readily absorbed the massive influx of energy.

Soul rings and soul bones can be improved through cultivation. The maximum lifespan of a soul ring is one million years. If all nine of my soul rings are one million-year soul rings, how will my strength change?

With his mind racing, Tang Shan felt the rapidly increasing age of his soul rings and soul bones, and his heart became increasingly calm.

……

A milky white light clung to Gu Yue's fair palm, while in the girl's other hand lay a palm-sized piece of silver-gray metal.

“I have long mastered the rules of creation, and I have also grasped the prototype of the concept of creation. Imbuing metal with intelligence may still be a bit difficult, but giving it the most basic intelligence is not a problem.” As Gu Yue’s voice fell, she gently pressed her palm down, and milky white light surged straight into the metal.

A faint spirituality is conceived within metal, without thought or utterance, yet it is the foundation of life.

……

Time does not change according to individual will; before we know it, another year has passed and spring and autumn have changed.

The Douluo Continent was engulfed in war. The Tiandou Empire swiftly occupied the territory of the Xingluo Empire with overwhelming force, and all resistance from the Xingluo Empire was in vain.

Our sea god received his inheritance on Seagod Island, believing he would be able to turn the tables after becoming a god, unaware of the terrifying and powerful enemies that awaited him in the future.

Meanwhile, in Tangshan, who was researching soul tools on the Sun and Moon Continent, his cultivation finally reached a certain limit, and a fundamental change was about to occur.

The almost tangible spiritual energy that used to gather around him every day no longer converged today; instead, soul rings of the same color emerged from beneath his feet.

A terrifying pressure emanated from his body and spread outwards. Wherever the pressure passed, space crumbled inch by inch, as if the entire world could no longer contain his existence.

Opening his eyes, the unique mysteries of the power rules flowed within his brilliant golden pupils. Once you met his gaze, you would inevitably be deeply attracted by the profound mystery of those rules, and even completely captivated.

P.S.: Only one chapter today, explained at the beginning.

Chapter 568 Nine Million-Year Soul Rings

Pale gold, pale gold, pale gold...

Nine pale gold spirit rings rose one after another from beneath Tang Shan's feet. With each spirit ring that appeared, Tang Shan's aura would surge several times over.

By mastering this soul skill, Tang Shan gained the ability to actively cultivate the years of his soul rings very early on. However, he had previously devoted himself to improving his soul power level and hadn't paid much attention to soul ring cultivation.

Now that his soul power level has reached its peak and there is no way to advance further, he has time to turn back and cultivate his soul rings.

After this period of training, the lifespan of most of my soul rings has reached the human limit of one million years, and the effects of my soul skills have also undergone tremendous changes.

His aura crushed the space, shattering it inch by inch. Tang Shan calmed down and carefully analyzed the improvement and evolution of his soul skill.

The first soul skill is perfectly mastered: control over the most basic substances that constitute the body, and change at will;

Second Soul Technique: Heaven and Earth: Increases body size by 10000% and grants the physical attributes to maintain the corresponding body size;

The third soul skill, Immortality: As long as the most basic substances that make up the body remain, it can be powerfully resurrected by relying on these basic substances;

Fourth Soul Skill: My Will is the Power of Heaven: Willpower is transformed into pure power, with damage that is governed by rules and cannot be repaired if it is not governed by rules;

Fifth Soul Skill: Multi-line Thinking: Gain ten virtual consciousnesses to aid in thinking. Apart from emotions, the thinking patterns of the virtual consciousnesses are exactly the same as those of the main body.

Sixth Soul Skill: Body of Power and Field of Power: Body of Power can amplify power without limit; Field of Power transforms power into a field that can envelop giant objects, allowing one to pick them up with one hand;

The seventh soul skill, Five Souls True Body, directly encompasses the effects of the second awakening of the five souls, increasing the overall power tenfold and providing a final boost.

The eighth soul skill, Eye of the Rules: All rules and even abstract concepts fall into the eye, allowing the ultimate power attribute to exert a stronger effect;

Ninth Soul Skill End: The next attack will be 100 times more powerful, with no side effects;

After Tang Shan's nine soul rings were upgraded to a million years, the effects of most of his soul skills were explosive, with the most significant changes occurring in his first soul skill.

To have a direct grasp of the most basic substances that make up the body is a level of understanding that transcends atoms and molecules. If he wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult for him to create the effect of a nuclear explosion with a single punch.

In particular, if the first soul skill is perfectly mastered, it can be linked with the second soul skill, Heaven and Earth. First, the second soul skill can be used to increase the size of the body, and then the first soul skill can be used to compress the size of the body.

Given the sheer density of Tangshan's body, one can only imagine the terrifying power he would unleash.

First Soul Skill, Perfectly Mastered, Activate! Tang Shan shouted inwardly, and his pale golden soul ring suddenly flashed.

As the effects of the rules were applied to his body, his consciousness penetrated deeper and deeper, passing through the appearances of flesh and blood and even cells, and directly sensing the basic substances that constitute the human body.

Simply clench your fist, and all the basic matter is arranged in an extremely compact manner, with zero loss of power, and space is completely shattered in your palm.

Tangshan didn't know how to describe this special state. His previously self-proclaimed superior physical control was so flawed and crude under the current angle and perspective.

Now that we can control basic substances, what about the potential that was previously hidden in our bodies?

The moment the thought crossed Tang Shan's mind, his body changed accordingly. His originally immense potential seemed to flow away like a flood, transforming into nutrients that enhanced his body or rather, his basic substances, causing him to continuously transform.

The foundation of Douluo Continent is different from that of my previous life. This kind of improvement in physical quality, the energy transformed from potential, can actually enhance the strength of the substances that constitute the foundation of my body. It's simply unbelievable.

In my past life, this would have been a special energy that could mindlessly enhance all aspects of a material's properties—it was simply insane. You see, the limiting factor in scientific progress has always been materials. The reason technology strives for high precision is because materials lack sufficient strength.

In just a few breaths, the potential hidden within his body was completely transformed by Tang Shan, and the substances that constituted the foundation of his body reached a certain perfection. Unless there is the intervention of higher-level energy, the strength of his body at this moment is his limit.

A higher level of energy? It must be the power of rules, but there's no need to rush. Let's talk about it when we've reached 100% understanding of the rules.

Composing himself, Tang Shan looked up and realized that he was in a spatial turbulence, surrounded by complete darkness.

However, apart from tearing his clothes to shreds, these spatial turbulences did not leave any wounds on his body, not even a white mark.

"This is the strongest body in theory below the level of a god. It should surpass the flawless golden body of 20,000 years from now. After all, the so-called flawless golden body is also about body training, while I directly strengthen the basic substances that make up the body."

While muttering to himself, Tang Shan raised a layer of soul power barrier, casually put on some clothes, and then took a few simple steps to leave the dark space.

"Your Majesty, is Tang Shan alright?" Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned, looking at the spatial rift that had just healed, his face full of worry.

They were watching Tangshan cultivate peacefully when the space suddenly shattered. Before they could react to what was happening, Tangshan was completely swallowed up by the shattered space.

Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's question, Gu Yue didn't even look up: "Don't worry, he'll be back soon." Her gaze pierced through the shattered space, and Gu Yue saw that familiar and reassuring figure. The nine pale golden soul rings that had been retrieved also left a very deep impression on her.

brush!

Tang Shan appeared out of thin air, looked at the group of titled Douluo, and gave an awkward but polite smile: "I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

……

Boom!

The crashing waves and intense vibrations damage the internal organs.

Pfft!

Tang San, whose jaw was clenched, suddenly changed his expression. The strength in his face dissipated, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which also contained some fragments of internal organs.

"Congratulations everyone, the Tide Body Training is over. The fourth test will begin in half a month." Poseidon flashed past Tang San and the others, her light words drifting away in the wind.

The Shrek Seven Devils couldn't wait to break free from the Silver Pillar. They scrambled and rolled until they finally landed on the sand, panting heavily.

The others were in relatively good condition, after all, they hadn't been targeted too much by Poseidon and Xiaobai, nor had they undergone Tang San's double body training.

Yu Tianheng looked up at the sky, gazing at the bright sun, and gently stroked the little rabbit in his arms. His pained expression gradually eased.

The third test is over, and the rewarded soul manifests in its normal state!

A stern and indifferent voice rang in Tang San's ears. He was first stunned, then overjoyed. There was no need for further explanation. He only had one soul, which was Xiao Wu's soul. With his soul in its normal state, didn't that mean he could see Xiao Wu almost every day?

Before his ecstasy had subsided, Tang San suddenly remembered something, abruptly sat up, ignoring the secondary injuries to his internal organs caused by the intense exercise, and turned to look in Yu Tianheng's direction, his eyes widening instantly.

Chapter 569 Xiao Wu's Question

Tragedy still struck—Tang San gained the restoration of Xiao Wu's soul, while Yu Tianheng gained the development of Xiao Wu's physical body.

The fluffy little rabbit that had been nestled on Yu Tianheng's chest underwent a rapid increase in size after the divine test reward, its soft fur quickly shrinking back. When the transformation stopped, Xiao Wu's delicate body was laid bare in public.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun swore that they really didn't mean it, but the unexpected happened right next to them, so they had to be careful.

They couldn't help but glance at him a few times, and feeling the cold aura emanating from Tang San's side, they silently closed their eyes again, pretending to be tired and resting.

Tang San paid no attention to the little tricks of Dai Mubai and the other two. He stared at Xiao Wu, who was nestled in Yu Tianheng's arms, with eyes wide with rage. He bit his lower lip so hard that it drew blood.

"Xiao Wu, my Xiao Wu." Upon learning the reason for his divine test reward, Yu Tianheng uncontrollably hugged the beauty in his arms tightly, tears welling up in his eyes, his voice choked with emotion.

The sound of the ocean waves, accompanied by Yu Tianheng's uncontrollable sobs, echoed all around, creating an awkward atmosphere.

……

Spirit world

The two gods, the angel and the Rakshasa, stared in disbelief at what was happening before them, their lips moving several times, yet they were at a loss for words.

They just wanted to see what the successor of the Sea God was like, but they never expected that they would see such a grand spectacle as soon as they turned their eyes.

"I don't recall that the trials for the Sea God's divine position involved anything related to love, original sin, or emotions. Why put his successor through such torment?"

Even though the angel had seen it with her own eyes, she still had some doubts about everything she had witnessed. She couldn't help but ask the Rakshasa god, whom she had never clashed with, to see what insightful opinion this evil deity had.

Noticing the angel god's somewhat subtle gaze, the Rakshasa god's face darkened: "Don't look at me with such strange eyes. I won't make things difficult for my successor. Even if I make my successor do evil, it will absolutely be in accordance with the rules and authority I hold."

"What's going on with the Sea God? He split a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast in two, giving the soul to his successor and the body to his successor's rival in love. What was he thinking?"

Rakshasa rolled his eyes in annoyance: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I'm not the sea god, how would I know what he's thinking?"

It can only be said that Poseidon, the sea god, is really good at creating drama. We don't even know how he tested Tang San during the final divine test in the original timeline.

Whether it indirectly affected the angel's test is another matter, but just the test of desire in the Seven Emotions test alone shows how strong his ability to create drama is.

After all, the transmission of the divine position was broadcast live to the other Shrek Seven Devils, including Xiao Wu. If Tang San had been even slightly moved at the time, their relationship would have inevitably changed. But Poseidon didn't think of this at all, or rather, he didn't care.

……

Blue-purple lightning shattered the dense array of Blue Silver Emperors, and Yu Tianheng, whose body had swelled up considerably, charged out wildly, unleashing his dragon might as he headed straight for Tang San.

Conflict was inevitable. When Xiao Wu was a rabbit, Tang San could barely maintain his senses and temporarily trust Yu Tianheng. However, after Xiao Wu transformed into a human, he could no longer tolerate Xiao Wu's physical body continuing to stay by Yu Tianheng's side.

"Yu Tianheng, give me back Xiao Wu!" Tang San roared, throwing his Blue Silver Overlord Spear like a flashing blue meteor, arriving in front of Yu Tianheng almost instantly.

Yu Tianheng remained silent, only charging forward relentlessly, his body flowing with blue-purple plasma, resembling a thick suit of thunder armor.

Boom!

Without the slightest restraint or control, the immense blue-gold spear unleashed its power perfectly, shattering large pieces of scales on Yu Tianheng's right arm, but that was all.

Ultimately, the Blue Silver Emperor is a control-type martial soul with very weak offensive capabilities. The ability to break through Yu Tianheng's defenses relies entirely on the quality of his Blue Silver Overlord Spear soul skill.

"Third Brother, please stop fighting, please stop fighting." Ning Rongrong stood to the side, her voice full of worry, but deep in her eyes, a hint of joy could not be suppressed.

"Again!" Ning Rongrong's shout was like a breeze passing by Tang San's ears, leaving no trace in his mind. His fifth soul ring was activated again, and the phantom of the spear quickly solidified.

Just as the two were about to clash again, Tang San's sixth soul ring, the one that housed Xiao Wu's soul, suddenly released a dazzling red light without being activated by soul power.
