Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

After leaving Ironclad City, Yang Ping'an did not go to Spirit City, but instead headed towards Heaven Dou City.

Instead of using his soul power to fly quickly, he walked like an ordinary person, carefully experiencing the conditions of the common people's world.

The vast lands surrounding the Elephant Armor Sect have now been incorporated into the Spirit Empire, and the area is relatively peaceful. However, once it enters the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is noticeably different. There seem to be fewer people. Not to mention Spirit Masters, even ordinary young adults have become much less numerous. It seems that they have all been conscripted to prepare for the great war.

Especially now that the Heavenly Dou Empire seems to be in a state of chaos, the nobles are relatively less affected, while the common people seem to be having a more difficult time, especially since taxes seem to have increased significantly.

After traveling for a while, Yang Ping'an arrived at his destination, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which was the safest place he could think of at the moment.

Surprisingly, Li Gui was cultivating here, seemingly unaffected by the war.

The entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye seemed to have been well-managed by Li Gui, with various spiritual herbs growing very lushly. However, there were no immortal herbs among them. Perhaps it was because he had dug up all the immortal herbs by the roots back then, or perhaps it was because the growth cycle of immortal herbs was too long and they had not yet grown.

Li Gui seemed a little surprised to see Yang Ping'an: "Ping'an, where have you been all this time? Elder Ju and Elder Gui have been looking for you everywhere but haven't been able to find you."

Yang Ping'an was also taken aback. Normally, his master was quite at ease with him training alone. Could something serious have happened?

"Uncle Li Gui, what exactly happened? Could it be that Master and Uncle are in danger?"

Li Gui said, "It's about the Clear Sky Sect. Tang San from the Clear Sky Sect has recently been launching a series of sneak attacks on the Spirit Empire's personnel, and he has basically slaughtered all the Spirit Empire's personnel wherever he goes, even the ordinary soldiers. You have always been very wary of this Tang San. Your master wants to ask you if there is anything wrong with this Tang San, and it seems that Tang San and Tang Chen are still looking for you."

Yang Ping'an was shocked. Normally, it would be normal for Tang San and Tang Chen to seek revenge on him, so why would they massacre the Spirit Hall's personnel? At least this was somewhat inconsistent with Tang Chen's personality. If Tang Chen really angered Qian Daoliu or Bibi Dong, his body couldn't withstand the combined might of these two Limit Douluo.

After some discussion, Yang Ping'an finally started to have a few ideas.

According to Li Gui, Tang San seemed to have entered the battlefield ahead of time, and with his Title Douluo strength, he seemed to be invincible on the battlefield. He was even able to handle Title Douluos with ease, and he even seriously injured several Title Douluos.

Tang Chen did not make a move from beginning to end, which did not violate his agreement with Qian Daoliu. In particular, every time Tang San made a move, it seemed that a blood-red giant sword was shrouding everyone in the sky, and Tang San himself seemed to become extremely bloodthirsty and brutal under the blood-red giant sword, like a demon crawling out of hell.

After careful consideration, Yang Ping'an concluded that the blood-red giant sword was probably the Asura Demon Sword. Tang Chen had completed the eight trials of the Asura God, and since he hadn't become a god, his current identity was likely that of the High Priest of the Asura God. The Asura God Sword enveloping the battlefield was probably a ritual similar to the Hell Slaughter Field. Judging from this situation, Tang Chen probably wanted to use an alternative method to help Tang San obtain the Killing God Domain, at which point Tang San would be qualified to inherit the position of the Asura God.

Yang Ping'an thought to himself, "It seems I need to speed things up. I can't let Tang Chen keep playing around like this, or something really might happen."

With that in mind, Yang Ping'an went directly to the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, positioned between the two springs, and prepared to begin condensing his second soul core.

Yang Ping'an had long planned for the second soul. The first soul core was basically formed using the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, containing the ultimate gold and dragon attributes of the Golden Dragon. The second soul core would have to use the dark attribute of the original Martial Soul, or the power of death that his Martial Soul had gradually evolved into.

As for the location of the second soul core, Yang Ping'an had already decided. Regardless of the main body, martial soul, or physical body, the heart is definitely the source of power, so the second soul core must be placed in the heart position.

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire possesses extremely strong ice and fire power, or rather, very powerful dragon power, which can definitely provide a continuous source of resources for oneself.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Ping'an took out the piece of life-giving gold he had obtained from the golden tortoise shell and placed it in front of him. Instantly, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was filled with boundless vitality, and the numerous spiritual herbs seemed to feel the nourishment of life, and began to shimmer with various lights.

Yang Ping'an sat cross-legged on the ground and began to gather his soul power.

This time, Yang Ping'an directly summoned his original martial soul, and his whole body was like a black shadow, with black soul power seemingly beginning to fill his meridians.

The first step is to activate his soul core. Yang Ping'an looked inward at his dantian, where a dark golden soul core was running rapidly. There seemed to be a phantom of a golden dragon in the soul core, which now possessed the ultimate gold and ultimate power.

The first step is to gradually separate the dark attribute from the soul core. In the past, when there was only one soul core, although it was formed by the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, with cultivation and the Death God Trial, the original death attribute was gradually integrated into the soul core.

According to Yang Ping'an's own plan, the first soul core is the Golden Dragon, the second soul core is his main body martial soul, and as for whether he will condense a third soul core in the future, he will consider it at that time. After all, he no longer needs to worry about whether he can break through to level 99.

As one pushes the use of soul power meditation to its limit, one's limbs and bones seem to be filled with soul power. This is the original function of the soul core, which can rotate and cultivate autonomously even when resting.

As time went by, the rapidly spinning soul core stopped spinning, and it seemed to be drawing some kind of primordial power from the soul core. The color of the soul core gradually changed, with a trace of black gradually appearing on the gold surface.

When Yang Ping'an's soul power was nearly 70% depleted, his soul core split in two. In addition to the original soul core, a black sphere appeared. However, this sphere was not fully formed and was still in a half-soul core state. Moreover, the sphere was located at his heart.

When Yang Ping'an's soul power was nearly 90% depleted, he felt extremely weak all over. It seemed that his two soul cores had almost drained all of his soul power.

However, this is also the most crucial moment. Both soul cores must be activated, and in reverse order, which places extremely high demands on mental strength.

The first thing to activate is the golden soul core, which is the first soul core located in Yang Ping'an's dantian. This soul core is Yang Ping'an's basic soul core, and it is relatively easy to activate.

Getting the second soul core running is the real key, and that's the goal of everything.

When the first soul core started spinning, the entire body seemed to be filled with infinite repulsive force, as if trying to expel the second soul core completely. The entire body seemed to feel an immense pressure, and the skin all over the body seemed to start to crack, as if it was about to explode.

Yang Ping'an endured the pain. When all his soul power was exhausted, his second soul core began to slowly rotate. However, this was just the beginning of the real suffering.

As a black soul core began to operate, two soul cores appeared in the body at the same time. The two soul cores were filled with infinite repulsive force, as if they were about to explode the body.

This is where Yang Ping'an's physical strength will be tested. In the original story, among all the ferocious beasts, only Di Tian formed a second soul core, which was due to the powerful physical qualities of his Black Dragon Clan. Yang Ping'an, on the other hand, relied on the awakening of the gold-level martial soul of his entire body, as well as the strengthening of his body by the Death God Trial.

As time went by, the two soul cores repelled and collided with each other. With each collision, it felt as if his entire body was about to crack apart. Yang Ping'an could even feel his body cracking and breaking down.

At this moment, the environment played a significant role. Within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, the ice and fire power that was originally emanating seemed to be rapidly absorbed into his body, all of which merged into his original golden soul core. After all, the ice and fire power and the power of the golden dragon can be said to have the same origin.

More importantly, the life-gold he possessed in his previous life seemed to have a green energy rapidly merging into his body, and his originally cracked body quickly recovered.

As time went on, Yang Ping'an's body seemed to undergo countless destructions, repairs, and reconstructions, causing him extreme pain.

Huo Yuhao possessed the Dragon Pill given to him by Long Xiaoyao, which gave him enough power to condense a second soul core. Yang Ping'an, on the other hand, had completely exhausted his soul power, and even his mental power was almost depleted. He seemed to be in a daze.

Despite the physical pain, Yang Ping'an tried his best to quickly absorb energy from the air, so that the two soul cores could not be sustained due to a lack of energy.

Yang Ping'an's two soul cores spun rapidly, absorbing energy from the air at an extremely fast pace. As his body began to absorb energy from the air, it seemed that both soul cores were replenished with energy, becoming exceptionally fierce and dangerous.

Even so, Yang Ping'an still felt that the energy absorbed from the air was far less than the energy consumed by the two soul cores, and his body seemed to be gradually collapsing.

Yang Ping'an gritted his teeth. He had no way out now. If he failed, his body would probably explode due to the rejection of the soul core.

With that thought in mind, Yang Ping'an grasped the Life Gold and leaped directly into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where he would find even stronger and greater energy.

As Yang Ping'an's need for energy grew stronger, he went directly to the deepest part of the Ice Fruit Yin-Yang Eye. You should know that in the past, due to the excessive repulsive force, Yang Ping'an had never been able to enter this deepest part, and his body could not even truly withstand it.

Yang Ping'an is now at level 98. His entire body is absorbing the surrounding energy like a whale swallowing its prey. It seems that he has entered an unknown area of ​​the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. There are two huge dragon shadows, one blue and one red, and even two huge corpses. At this moment, Yang Ping'an appears extremely small.

After an unknown amount of time, the two soul cores that were originally mutually repelling each other began to calm down slowly, seemingly becoming stable, and each formed a completely new rotation rule, even forming a completely new vortex shape.

As Yang Ping'an was in extreme pain, he seemed to gradually begin to lose consciousness.

When Yang Ping'an regained consciousness, he was floating on the surface of the spring water in the Ice Fruit Yin-Yang Well. The two soul cores on his body seemed to be spinning rapidly, especially the black soul core in his heart, which seemed to provide him with endless power.

Watching the two soul cores within his body silently rotating, merging with each other, and then independently forming their respective soul power vortexes, Yang Ping'an was extremely excited.

This is the Yin-Yang Balanced Dual Soul Core, also known as the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core. At this moment, Yang Ping'an felt his strength was unprecedented, especially as the two soul cores rapidly absorbed the surrounding energy, making his cultivation speed seem even faster. In particular, after condensing the soul cores, the soul power throughout his body seemed to have been compressed and become much deeper. (End of this chapter)
