Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 205 Strange

Yang Ping'an was originally very confident in his strength, but in this Death Valley, it seemed that there was a constant threat of death. Even if you only went in for a hundred kilometers, you would encounter a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. It was indeed quite dangerous. No wonder the people of the Spirit Hall were terrified of Death Valley.

Especially at night, the danger level is several times higher than during the day. It is extremely dark at night, the temperature drops significantly, and the wind is fierce, making it unsuitable for walking outside.

Fortunately, Yang Ping'an possessed the incredibly sharp Dark Gold Bear Claws, which allowed him to dig small holes in the hard ground at night to avoid various dangers; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to survive.

However, after enduring a day of strong winds in this Death Valley, the cultivation speed did seem to increase slightly, as if the stimulation of the body accelerated the circulation of soul power.

It took Yang Ping'an ten days to travel the first 100 kilometers, but it took him two whole months to travel another 50 kilometers. The deeper he went, the stronger the gale became, making it somewhat similar to climbing the stairs on Poseidon Island.

That night, Yang Ping'an was cultivating in the cave as usual when a very strange sound suddenly came from inside. It didn't sound like the cry of a soul beast, but rather like some kind of wailing.

Yang Ping'an felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had witnessed a great horror, even though the cave entrance was sealed off, it was as if he was being watched by something.

This feeling only arises when encountering powerful spirit beasts or some kind of danger; it's clear that one is being targeted by some kind of creature.

Just then, a few dark shadows appeared in the cave illuminated by the star and moon stone. These shadows crawled in through the gap in the cave entrance that the cave had blocked, and they looked somewhat like the martial soul of Ghost Douluo.

Yang Ping'an suppressed his fear and used his Dark Gold Bear Claw to grab hard, tearing the ground apart. However, the shadow only separated slightly before quickly gathering back together and flying rapidly towards Yang Ping'an.

Seeing the dark figure rushing towards him, he quickly summoned his martial soul and soul ring, emitting a beam of light from his body. However, under the light, the dark figure quickly separated and then immediately reassembled, lunging at Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an was instantly alarmed. Regardless of whether it was night or not, he used his claw to open the cave and then quickly ran back to the original entrance.

However, the shadowy figure was extremely fast, clinging to Yang Ping'an like a leech.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an already knew what this thing was. In this Death Valley, soul beasts might be quite terrifying, but there was also a very special creature here, known as the Weird.

Unlike soul beasts, the Weird is not flesh and blood, and it is even different from special martial souls like Ghost Douluo. It is formed by the condensation of countless death auras and can attack humans and soul beasts. It is said that in the past, every time the Spirit Hall's training team encountered the Weird, they suffered heavy casualties. Ordinary people can hardly help but turn pale at the mention of it.

It is said to be strange, formless, and intangible, and can even possess the body and martial spirit of a soul master, causing them to lose their will and ultimately become lost in the Valley of Death.

Yang Ping'an ran wildly, but his speed was strangely fast, as if he were a shadow, following him everywhere.

Seeing that his attacks had no effect, and even the mental attacks from the head soul bone skill had no effect, Yang Ping'an seemed to feel a sense of despair.

But at that moment, Yang Ping'an seemed to have thought of something, and a shocking white light emanated from his body, causing the entire space to tremble. This was Yang Ping'an's Killing God Domain.

The Killing God Domain originates from the Asura God, which can be considered the power of a god. Theoretically, it is at a level higher than soul power and can absolutely suppress all the power in the Douluo World.

As Yang Ping'an unleashed his God of Slaughter Domain, the strange creature seemed to be stimulated and unable to get close. However, because the power of the God of Slaughter Domain was spread out, it was unable to truly kill the strange creature.

Yang Ping'an was shocked. He used all his strength to grab with both claws, and a golden character with a blood-red aura flew out. Even the strange creature was attacked and quickly left as if it was injured.

However, Yang Ping'an was very clear that neither the Killing Sword Technique nor the Killing God Domain could be completely controlled, nor could the Killing God Domain be used as his own means of attack. This strange incident only resulted in injury, and he did not suffer any fundamental damage.

However, a sinister smile appeared on Yang Ping'an's face. As long as the Killing God Domain and the Seven Killing Sword Technique were useful, that would be fine. As long as he practiced more, he would definitely be able to completely control the Killing God Domain. If he could condense the scattered domain into a point or a weapon, its power would be extremely strong.

After injuring the strange creature, Yang Ping'an seemed to sense a strange change in the surroundings. The strange creature seemed to be bleeding, but its blood was not like that of a soul beast. Instead, it seemed to be some kind of highly nourishing substance, somewhat similar to the aura of the City of Slaughter.

This Death Valley is indeed a good place for cultivation; no wonder even the Spirit Hall has to send heavy troops to guard it.

Yang Ping'an continued walking in Death Valley. The entire Death Valley seemed to be divided into boundaries according to the 150 kilometers he had gone in. Outside, there was only a harsh environment, but after entering, strange things gradually appeared, and the strange things became stronger and more numerous, as if they were protecting something.

As his training continued for two months, Yang Ping'an was finally able to unleash the fifth "kill" in the Seven Kill Sword Technique. This time, it was when Yang Ping'an was in dire straits, surrounded by countless strange creatures. Even though Yang Ping'an used all his strength, he was still unable to escape.

Finally, Yang Ping'an gritted his teeth and used all his strength to unleash the Seven Kill Sword Technique and the Killing God Domain. When he used the fifth "kill" character, both the domain and the sword technique underwent a slight change, as if they were about to merge.

However, Yang Ping'an was basically exhausted in this battle, and his body was covered with strange wounds. Even using the power of his soul bone, it was difficult to heal them. It seemed that some kind of black aura was attached to the wounds, hindering their healing.

However, this was also the first time Yang Ping'an had truly killed a strange creature. Strangely, after the strange creature was killed, a pool of dark green liquid remained. The liquid seemed to contain a power that did not belong to the Douluo World, but it was somewhat similar to the King of Slaughter that he had seen.

Yang Ping'an carefully observed the dark green liquid for a long time. As his research deepened, his shock grew. There was a trace of divine power in the dark green liquid. Although the divine power was negligible, it was definitely beyond the level of soul power. If it weren't for the suppression of the God of Slaughter Domain, he probably wouldn't have been able to kill the strange creature.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was extremely surprised. According to the original Douluo Continent novel, the only gods that actually appeared on Douluo Star were the Sea God, the Asura God, the Angel God, and the Rakshasa God. But clearly, this power was completely different from the previous gods.

Yang Ping'an had spent a long time in the City of Slaughter and possessed the Killing God Domain, making him very familiar with the aura of the Asura God. The Spirit Hall, on the other hand, had a holy aura, which should be the divine power of the Angel God. Although he had only seen Bibi Dong make a move once, that mysterious aura was completely different from what he had now.

Yang Ping'an's heart skipped a beat: "Could there be a place where a god's legacy is hidden in this Death Valley? But what else besides a god can explain these strange occurrences? There's clearly something wrong with this Death Valley."

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was completely puzzled. If there really was a place where the gods inherited their legacy, then with Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu's strength, it was impossible that they wouldn't have taken it for themselves. So why was there no news at all?

However, Yang Ping'an couldn't care less about that now. His body had already reached its limit. Although the other monsters had escaped after he killed one, this place was definitely not a place to stay for long.

After collecting the dark green liquid on the ground, Yang Ping'an quickly left the area.

However, what Yang Ping'an didn't know was that there seemed to be a pair of blood-red eyes watching him leave, and these eyes seemed to be integrated into the entire Death Valley.
