Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

The three of them searched for a whole month, almost scouring the entire mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, but they still couldn't find a trace of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.

They did find quite a few top-tier soul beasts, including several top-tier dragon-type soul beasts, but unfortunately, their age was too low, not even reaching 50,000 years, which made Yang Ping'an a little discouraged.

As the three of them ventured deeper, they gradually headed towards the core area.

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but wonder where the golden hawksbill turtle was hiding, or if his calculations were wrong and the golden hawksbill turtle was still surviving in the core area.

When they gathered again that night, unexpectedly, in addition to Li Gui and Ju Douluo, Gui Douluo also appeared.

Yang Ping'an asked with some confusion, "Uncle-Master, aren't you looking for the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python? They should live around the Lake of Life."

Ghost Douluo interrupted Yang Ping'an's doubts: "Ping'an, I have found the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, and the news has been sent back to the Spirit Hall. I heard you are looking for the Golden Hawksbill Turtle. I might have some information."

Yang Ping'an was overjoyed: "Uncle-Master, when did you see the golden hawksbill turtle?"

Ghost Douluo said, "About a month ago, I did see a golden hawksbill turtle on the edge of the core area. However, it was probably around 60,000 years old, and there were several other very old soul beasts around it, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Yang Ping'an quickly asked, "Uncle-Master, is this golden hawksbill turtle injured?"

Ghost Douluo shook his head: "I haven't paid attention to that, but golden hawksbill turtles are extremely rare, and very few people have seen multiple golden hawksbill turtles. It might be the one you're looking for."

Without further ado, the group followed Ghost Douluo and quickly arrived at the edge of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Sure enough, they found many spirit beasts by a stream. The most important one was a large golden tortoise. This tortoise was over five meters in diameter, and its golden shell looked very thick. It was definitely a top-grade gold-attribute spirit beast.

In particular, Yang Ping'an and the other three carefully observed with their soul power and found that the golden hawksbill turtle did indeed seem to be injured. Its soul power seemed to have shrunk, and it did not have the powerful life force of a 60,000-year-old soul beast.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was suddenly a little surprised: "How can there be such a huge Thousand-Pound Ant? This seems to be the first time I've ever seen one."

As Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking, everyone began to pay attention to the soul beast next to the Golden Tortoiseshell.

Although this is the outer perimeter of the core area, there are still many top-tier soul beasts surrounding the Golden Hawksbill Turtle. On the one hand, cultivating next to it will make the speed faster, and on the other hand, it can also protect the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.

Sure enough, among the many soul beasts, there were three relatively small ones, which turned out to be three Thousand-Pound Ants.

However, these three Thousand-Pound Ants were clearly not simple. Not only were their auras extremely powerful, but they were also right next to the Golden Tortoiseshell, making them an ideal place for them to cultivate.

The three giant ants are all about three meters long. If you look at their size alone, even the three of them combined are smaller than the Titan Ape.

However, these three Thousand-Pound Ants, each about three meters long, were covered with a layer of dark gold carapace and each had six thick and powerful severed legs. Even with Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo's knowledge, he was still surprised at this moment.

Chrysanthemum Douluo stared intently at the three-headed Thousand-Pound Ant: "Generally speaking, a Thousand-Pound Ant with ten years of cultivation is about three inches long, with only a pair of saber teeth at its mouth capable of biting through hard objects. A Thousand-Pound Ant with a hundred years of cultivation will not exceed six inches in length, and it is only with a thousand years of cultivation that it is possible to grow to a foot. This is already a very rare Thousand-Pound Ant. You must know that although Thousand-Pound Ants are numerous, their survival methods are too poor, and they are food for many spirit beasts. According to the records of the Spirit Hall, a Thousand-Pound Ant may only exceed one meter in length after reaching thirty thousand years of cultivation."

"If my estimation is correct, these three thousand-pound ants have probably already reached the level of 90,000 years, and are probably not far from 100,000 years."

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was also looking at the three Thousand-Pound Ants with a burning desire. These were three hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts. If he hadn't encountered them, it would have been fine, but now that he had actually encountered them, and at the very moment he was about to absorb his ninth soul ring, how could he possibly let them slip by?

Although back in Death Valley, the Grim Reaper's divine will instructed him to absorb as many soul beasts as possible that possessed the Grim Reaper's or Dark attributes, now that he has a divinely bestowed soul ring as a final guarantee, even absorbing the Three-Headed Thousand-Pound Ant King shouldn't affect his future development. Not to mention, there are only a handful of 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, so missing out would be a real pity.

It should be noted that in the entire Douluo Continent 1, there have been no more than ten 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and most of them have been absorbed by Tang San. Rather than leaving them to waste, it is better to kill them as soon as possible and absorb their soul rings in advance.

"Master, Uncle-Master, is there any way to capture this golden hawksbill turtle? It might not be safe to absorb spirit rings here."

Ghost Douluo couldn't help but laugh: "Although the Golden Tortoise Shell is powerful and has strong defense, it is too slow and not agile enough. Catching it is not a problem. But Ping An, are you sure that this Golden Tortoise Shell is only 60,000 years old? Are you sure you don't want to absorb a 100,000-year-old ninth spirit ring?"

Yang Ping'an's face also turned serious: "Uncle-Master, I've thought it over carefully, so I'll go with this golden hawksbill turtle. By the way, Uncle Li Gui, could you please keep an eye on the three Thousand-Jun Ants for me? I need them very much."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was a little puzzled: "Ping An, you should no longer be able to absorb any more spirit rings. Although these three-headed Thousand-Pound Ants are extremely old and have excellent attributes in all aspects, they are strength-type spirit beasts, which are not very suitable for you. Moreover, judging from their appearance, they are probably not easy to deal with."

Yang Ping'an just smiled slightly: "Master, you'll know when we catch them. It concerns my biggest secret."

Seeing that Yang Ping'an said this, the three of them did not ask any further questions.

However, the scene was indeed quite troublesome. In addition to the three-headed Thousand-Pound Ant, there were many other soul beasts around, and they all seemed to be very powerful. They were probably cultivating alongside the Golden Hawksbill Turtle for a long time. After all, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was an auspicious beast, and cultivating alongside it could prevent natural disasters and even accelerate cultivation.

The four exchanged glances and quickly came up with a plan. After all, all four of them had the strength of a Title Douluo, and only the three Thousand-Pound Ants present were strong enough.

At Chrysanthemum Douluo's command, the four of them flew swiftly to the stream, their martial souls and soul rings appearing simultaneously.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the crowd, the three Thousand-Pound Ants reacted extremely quickly, managing to attack the four people in the first instant. Moreover, they seemed to be full of power, and in terms of pure strength, they were probably even stronger than Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo.

The ones who actually made the move were Yang Ping'an and Li Gui. After Yang Ping'an revealed his five black and three red spirit rings, even Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo felt immense pressure. This was the first time they had ever seen a spirit master with so many 100,000-year spirit rings. Keep in mind that Bibi Dong only had two 100,000-year spirit rings. (The exact number of Bibi Dong's spirit rings is unknown.)

Yang Ping'an directly used his sixth soul skill, Demonic Dragon Form, and a huge golden phantom rushed towards the group of soul beasts. Originally, Yang Ping'an's sixth soul skill was already very powerful, and it was also a group attack soul skill. Since passing the Seagod Island test, it has now entered the 100,000-year level, and its power is astonishing. Even though the soul beasts were strong, they were suppressed by Demonic Dragon Form in an instant.

At that very moment, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo merged together, especially their martial souls and soul rings, which all merged together. This was their martial soul fusion skill: the Polar Stillness Domain. A white light flew out from the two of them, and all the soul beasts seemed to be frozen in place.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Gui transformed into a ghostly figure and flashed among the soul beasts. Before the Golden Tortoise could retract its tortoise head, Li Gui used his sixth soul skill: Ghost Shadow Deadly Hand. A black shadow struck the Golden Tortoise's head heavily, severely injuring it.

Immediately afterwards, Li Gui used his soul power to grab the golden tortoiseshell and quickly left the scene.

The four exchanged glances and quickly left the area, as there were far too many spirit beasts there, making it unsuitable for absorbing spirit rings.

The four of them ran all the way, and after a full half hour, they finally arrived at a relatively safe place in the mixed zone.

After Li Gui put down the Golden Tortoise Shell, he transformed into a ghost and quickly left the place to continue tracking the three-headed Thousand-Pound Ant. Yang Ping'an, on the other hand, looked at the Golden Tortoise Shell with intense desire, as it was the last soul ring of his Golden Demon Dragon.

Because of the golden hawksbill turtle's strong defensive capabilities, once it retracts its head and limbs into its shell, it would be quite difficult to break through. Therefore, Li Gui directly and severely injured the golden hawksbill turtle.

Just as Yang Ping'an was about to make his move, the Tokyo Tortoise suddenly cried out in terror, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I know where there are powerful soul beasts!"

Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo was immediately surprised. He knew that only 100,000-year-old soul beasts could speak, and the soul beast in front of him was clearly only 60,000 years old.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This novel was first published on 6=9+Book_Bar.

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile: "Sorry, I'm very interested in your spirit ring. I've been looking for you for over a month, how could I possibly give up?"

The golden hawksbill turtle begged for mercy again: "You must want a 100,000-year soul ring. I know a place with many 100,000-year soul beasts. If I take you there, as long as you let me go, there will definitely be soul beasts suitable for you there, and you can even obtain more soul rings and soul bones."

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo's eyes seemed to hold a hint of longing. After all, a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone are the most precious treasures in the soul master world. If such a place truly existed, it would be priceless.

Yang Ping'an sneered: "You're not talking about Di Tian and Xiong Jun, are you? Sorry, I really don't want to die, and I certainly don't want to provoke them."

After saying that, Yang Ping'an immediately took action. He used all his strength to stab the head of the golden hawksbill turtle. Originally, the dark golden hawksbill turtle was incredibly sharp after reaching eight years of age, and it could pierce through anything it cared about with one blow. However, it failed to pierce through the golden hawksbill turtle, whose head had already stuck into its shell.

With a determined heart, Yang Ping'an unleashed the full power of his Dark Gold Terror Claw, using the Soul Bone skill "Heaven-Tearing Strike," instantly piercing through the Golden Hawksbill's head, forcefully splitting its defenses and piercing its head.

With Yang Ping'an's all-out attack, even the extremely strong-defense Golden Tortoiseshell died on the spot. At the same time, a blood-red spirit ring appeared. Judging from the size of the picture, it even exceeded that of the original Golden Titan Python, indicating that it was of extremely high age.

Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo was immediately astonished: "How is this possible? Isn't this golden hawksbill turtle only 60,000 years old? It's actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Yang Ping'an quickly explained, "Master, Master, I have checked some ancient books. Some of these books record the situation of this golden hawksbill turtle, but the recorded age was much higher than 60,000 years. Moreover, it seems that the recorded age has decreased a lot as the age has been recorded. That's why I concluded that it should be a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly realized: "No wonder you were so eager to find this golden tortoise shell. It turns out it's a hidden 100,000-year-old soul beast. If others knew it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, they would probably have been killed long ago. You've gotten off easy."

After raising his body to its optimal state, Yang Ping'an began preparing to absorb the 100,000-year soul ring.

After Yang Ping'an summoned the Golden Demon Dragon, he used his soul power to slowly guide the soul ring into the position of the Golden Demon Dragon's ninth soul ring.

As the immense energy from the spirit ring merged into Yang Ping'an's body, his blood seemed to boil. In particular, it seemed that there was something special in the spirit ring energy that was gradually merging into his blood, and even into his deeper bloodline.

A mere 100,000-year-old soul beast is far less mature than the eighth soul ring I had back then, so I wouldn't even feel too bad. I just felt like my bloodline was awakening, as if something terrifying from my dreams was about to be born.

It took Yang Ping'an five full days to absorb the Golden Tortoise Shell Soul Ring.

But when he opened his eyes again, he didn't have the confidence and calm he usually did. Instead, his eyes showed a hint of doubt and even a hint of fear.

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly spoke up: "Ping An, didn't you successfully absorb your spirit ring? Why do you seem a little off?"

Yang Ping'an gave a wry smile, then summoned his martial soul, but surprisingly there was no soul power wave or soul ring. Instead, a golden egg over five meters long appeared.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an felt that he had completely lost contact with the Golden Demon Dragon, and even with all his spirit rings. In particular, in his mind, there was only a golden egg left.

"Master, have you seen this phenomenon in the Spirit Hall's records? Are there any cases where someone turns into an egg after absorbing a spirit ring?"
