Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 136 Absorbing Honkai Energy?

"Brother Du, how are you?" Little Ellie looked at Lang Lei with some concern.

"It's alright, it's just that it took a lot of energy." Lang Lei's face was slightly pale.

Lang Lei's soul power directly attacked, which was a first in history.

There are both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that you don't have to worry about Honkai energy eroding you. The soul power you just recovered will be eroded almost immediately, so it's better to actively annihilate that little bit of soul power.

The downside is that he can't use his soul skills for the time being and can only rely on his talent to fight.

Fortunately, Lang Lei's combat strength was only one or two tenths of his soul power.

I wonder if the second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment, can still be activated normally. It's all gone, so it probably won't work, right?

But now is not the time to think about that. The most urgent thing is to get Little Ellie away from here as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the Courage Dragon Wings are not powered by soul power. Lang Lei flapped his wings and fled into the distance.

Right after Lang Lei left, several Honkai Emperors were born in the city center.

It's possible that the tornado driven by Lang Lei increased the Honkai energy here, while the concentration of Honkai energy in the surrounding area was much lower.

After passing the second ring, you basically can't see any more Honkai Beasts.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they had covered hundreds of kilometers and landed in a forest with little Ellie.

"Brother Du, take a rest!" As soon as they landed, Xiao Aili quickly reached out to help Lang Lei sit down against a tree.

"Thank you, Ellie, but don't worry, I'm fine." Lang Lei patted little Ellie's head.

"How could you be alright? Brother Du, your face looks so scary..." Little Ellie's voice was a little downcast.

After all, Lang Lei ended up in such a state because of her willfulness.

"It's just that you've used up a lot of energy," Lang Lei comforted him. "It's like when someone runs a long distance; they get tired. They'll be fine after a short rest."

"Really?" Little Ellie asked, still uneasy.

"Really, don't worry." Lang Lei nodded.

"Then, Brother Du, get some rest. I'll keep watch for us." Little Ellie rolled up her sleeves, striking a pose as if she were very strong. "I'm really strong, you know~"

Looking at little Ellie's adorable appearance, Lang Lei chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, then I'll leave her to Ellie."

"Please leave it to me with confidence!"

Despite her small size, Ellie's strength and speed far exceed those of a normal adult; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a giant cub.

Lang Lei closed his eyes with relief and slowed his breathing.

There is still a very thin amount of Honkai energy in the air, which is unavoidable, given how many Honkai events have occurred around the world.

However, this concentration is not enough to harm ordinary people; at most, it might cause slight dizziness.

Just as Lang Lei's soul power was recovering at an extremely fast speed, Lang Lei suddenly had a strange idea.

Could he also try using Honkai energy?

Could he be considered a kind of "Herrscher" in disguise? Or perhaps a "Herrscher" who wields multiple powers?

His body's resistance to Honkai energy had long been enhanced by the Primordial Authority to the point that it could ignore the negative effects. Even if it ultimately failed, at most his martial soul would experience some sluggishness for a period of time.

But if he succeeds, he will benefit immensely!

Putting everything else aside, at least when facing enemies from the collapsed world, he won't be overwhelmed right away.

Lang Lei has always been a man of action, and once he says he'll do something, he does it. So Lang Lei adjusted his breathing and began to actively inhale the Honkai energy in the air into his body.

Unsurprisingly, when the Honkai energy accumulated to a certain point, the soul power began to be inevitably eroded again.

However, Lang Lei did not stop it this time; instead, he actively promoted the process.

Gradually, a large amount of Honkai energy began to circulate within Lang Lei's body. Purple lines would appear on Lang Lei's skin surface from time to time, and then disappear immediately, repeating this cycle.

A moment later, Lang Lei opened his eyes, and his complexion returned to normal.

Little Ellie quickly ran over when she saw this.

"I told you not to worry, right?" Lang Lei said with a smile. "See, I'm fine, aren't I?"

"Yes, it's good that Brother Du is alright." Little Ellie visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lang Lei tried to activate the elemental ancient dragon with Honkai energy, and the next moment, intense pain was transmitted to Lang Lei's brain.

Lang Lei's expression, which had been normal just moments before, suddenly turned ugly again.

This, of course, did not escape the keen eyes of little Ellie at that moment.

"Go and rest! Patients can't lie!" Little Ellie said, shoving Lang Lei.

So, Lang Lei was forced to rest by Xiao Ai Li again.

Lang Lei sat down on the ground helplessly. He really wanted to say that he was fine, but Xiao Ai Li's appearance just now made it hard to refuse.

The next moment, Lang Lei began to ponder why he felt pain when he used Honkai energy to activate his martial soul.

This is not good news.

If you fight while in pain, your combat power will inevitably be lowered.

At least for now, he cannot ignore the effects of pain.

Lang Lei wasn't entirely clueless; he guessed that it was because the elemental ancient dragons were currently unable to withstand the mass of Honkai energy.

Although Lang Lei's first martial soul has been strengthened many times and its quality is vastly different from the original, what if it really is not enough?

To verify this hypothesis.

Lang Lei began to use Honkai energy to activate his second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment.

It was quite obvious that the moment Honkai energy was poured into the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, the Judgment of Heavenly Fire erupted with an even brighter light than before.

Lang Lei even felt that he could deal damage no less than before with minimal resource consumption.

"This is undoubtedly good news..." Lang Lei muttered.

It now seems that the strength of the first martial soul element, the Ancient Dragon, is indeed not enough.

The only hope is that the attachments to the ninth or tenth spirit ring will bring about a better transformation for the first spirit...

Having grasped the general idea, Lang Lei began to try to separate the place where Honkai energy was stored from the place where soul power was stored.

After all, he still needs to continue using his first martial soul element, the Ancient Dragon.

After all, in terms of convenience and applicable scenarios, the elemental dragon is still a very good choice.

This is no easy task; after wasting a considerable amount of time, I still have no clue what to do...

"Herrschers have Herrscher Cores, Valkyries have Stigmata... Sigh, if only I had an external energy storage device." Lang Lei sighed, his eyes catching sight of the Thunder Elemental Eye that he had abandoned for a long time.

Under normal circumstances, the Eye of the Thunder element can still provide Langrei with a significant boost.

But there's nothing I can do...

In the Douluo Continent, no one could push him to that point.

In the Honkai world, enemies that are impossible to defeat under normal circumstances are likely still impossible to defeat even with the Divine Eye activated...

But in this situation, can't the Eye of God "reuse waste"?
