Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 206 The Forest of Death

After a long run, Yang Ping'an found a place to rest and began to study the dark green liquid in his hand.

The dark green liquid looked extremely strange, as if it possessed some kind of special power.

Yang Ping'an thought about it carefully. According to the cultivation method of Soul Masters, all Soul Power is basically absorbed from the outside world, either from the environment or from certain objects. The higher the Soul Power, the faster the absorption speed. This is one of the reasons why Tang San and others leveled up so quickly under the illumination of the Sea God's Light.

However, the dark green liquid in front of him seemed very unusual. Yang Ping'an placed all the liquid in his palm and began to cultivate according to the method of meditation.

Just as Yang Ping'an was cultivating, these dark green liquids seemed to sense the trajectory of the soul power flying in the air and silently and quickly merged into Yang Ping'an's body.

During the meditation, Yang Ping'an clearly felt that his soul power was increasing much faster, almost several times faster than usual, and there seemed to be no side effects at all, at least his body did not feel any discomfort.

After finishing his meditation, Yang Ping'an was overjoyed. He never expected that such a small amount of dark green liquid could so quickly enhance his soul power. This was definitely a treasure in the world of soul masters.

Since absorbing Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul bone, Yang Ping'an's soul power had reached level 64. After nearly half a year of training in Death Valley, and after another trial, Yang Ping'an's soul power reached the peak of level 65.

However, after absorbing this dark green liquid, his soul power actually reached level 66. Of course, this was also due to Yang Ping'an's recent training. But no matter what, this dark green liquid was definitely a treasure for improving soul power, or even a divine object. Unfortunately, the strange creature was too strong, and he only managed to kill one after using all his strength.

For the next period of time, Yang Ping'an was like a hunter, constantly roaming around Death Valley. In addition to trying his best to kill some of the strange creatures, he also gradually began to move closer to the core of Death Valley.

Originally, according to Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, Yang Ping'an should try not to go to the core area of ​​Death Valley, because the danger there was beyond everyone's imagination, and even titled Douluo would be in danger.

However, Yang Ping'an felt that something was attracting him from the shadows, especially if he entered the core area, he might be able to find a place where gods inherited their legacy, which would save him a lot of trouble. At least he wouldn't have to keep staring at Seagod Island or Slaughter City.

Half a year passed quickly. During this time, Yang Ping'an rapidly increased his soul power by collecting the strange, residual dark green liquid, reaching level sixty-nine. It can be said that this rate of improvement exceeded everyone's expectations.

It should be noted that at the Soul Emperor stage, even for geniuses, it normally takes half a year to increase one level of Soul Power. However, Yang Ping'an has only been in Death Valley for a year, and his Soul Power has already increased from level 64 to level 69, a full five levels of increase, which is terrifying.

But the deeper you go into Death Valley, the more dangerous it seems to become. The gale becomes even fiercer, sometimes like a hurricane, making your body feel like it's going to be torn apart.

Especially deep in Death Valley, the age of the soul beasts is getting higher and higher. At the highest level, they even encountered a soul beast of 80,000 years. If it weren't for his invincible golden body and teleportation, Yang Ping'an would probably have died long ago.

That day, Yang Ping'an looked hesitant and conflicted about whether to enter the true core area of ​​Death Valley.

Before Yang Ping'an was a strange forest. All the trees were as hard as refined iron, no weaker than ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Even the strong winds could not bring them down.

These trees are the legendary blackwood, reaching a height of 100 meters, and their surfaces appear unusually menacing.

This is the legendary core of Death Valley: Death Forest. As Chrysanthemum Douluo repeatedly instructed, other places may be somewhat dangerous, but they are basically not dangerous to a Title Douluo.

However, entering this Death Forest is extremely dangerous for ordinary Soul Masters, with only a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Even for Title Douluo, it is fraught with peril. This is one of the places that the Spirit Hall cannot truly enter.

Moreover, according to records, many Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall perished in the Death Forest, and their remains have not been found to this day, with no information whatsoever. The Title Douluos who survived also remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal any information about the forest, as if it were a place of great terror.

Yang Ming'an was also extremely conflicted at this moment. In terms of survival ability, he had definitely reached the level of a Soul Douluo, and might even be stronger.

However, despite Chrysanthemum Douluo's repeated warnings, Yang Ping'an still felt a little fearful. He knew that Ghost Douluo had gone in once before, but when he came out, he was seriously injured and almost lost his life. This was the most serious injury Ghost Douluo had ever suffered since he began cultivating.

Yang Ping'an gritted his teeth, disregarding any danger, and stepped directly into the Death Forest.

Upon entering the Forest of Death, Yang Ping'an immediately noticed something amiss. While he could still use his soul power to perceive things in the Valley of Death, here, all his senses seemed to be blocked. There appeared to be an invisible force on the blackwood trees that was hindering his spiritual power.

Yang Ping'an was shocked. When it came to places that could not be perceived, it seemed that only Poseidon Island and the City of Slaughter existed in the original work. However, the environment here seemed even worse and more dangerous than those two places.

In particular, the place seemed unusually quiet; there was no sound of any soul beasts roaring, or even the chirping of insects.

However, as they ventured deeper into the Death Forest, something else seemed to change, and they discovered a faint trace of life.

Yang Ping'an carefully followed this trace of life and finally found a special plant near a canyon in the Death Forest.

Although the plant was entirely black, it was covered in vines, and these vines seemed to be filled with lightning, as if they possessed infinite destructive power.

Especially behind the many vines, there was a small golden tree with a golden fruit on it.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was full of surprise: "How is this possible? I never thought that there would be Thunderous Hell Vine in this Death Forest."

Indeed, the vines before us are the Thunderous Hell Vine, and judging from their age, they are at least 70,000 years old. According to Yang Ping'an's original guess, the only place in the Douluo Continent where the Thunderous Hell Vine could truly exist is Thunder Canyon.

It is well known that the Thunderous Hell Vine is said to possess the bloodline of the Thunder God, making it absolutely the strongest among plant-based soul arts, if not the strongest.

However, the Thunderous Hell Vine needs to absorb lightning to grow and become stronger. But lightning can be extremely violent, and it can explode if you are not careful. So even if a Thunderous Hell Vine appears, its age will not exceed 20,000 years. But the Thunderous Hell Vine in front of us has reached 70,000 years, and is even close to 80,000 years old. It is definitely a top-quality lightning attribute soul beast.

Moreover, the Thunderous Hell Vine in front of us seems a bit strange. It's not as violent as the legends say. Instead, it seems like someone deliberately placed it here, mainly to protect the golden tree behind it.

The life force that Yang Ping'an had sensed earlier came from that golden tree, especially the single golden fruit, which seemed to have a special attraction for Yang Ping'an's bloodline.

There will be a place where gods inherit their legacy. I want to write about Thor or Death. Also, the protagonist's bloodline will truly transform here.
