Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky

Chapter 247 After Drinking, the Phoenix Arrives at Xitian

Cai Meier knew Yan Shaozhe's personality well; once he made up his mind, not even nine oxen could pull him back. So she just pursed her lips and straightened his clothes.

"Shao Zhe, you must be very careful. When he was at the sixth ring, his strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary Title Douluo. He also possesses an extremely terrifying destructive attribute and a second awakening of his Gold-level Martial Soul. Now that he has achieved the True Form of his Martial Soul, who knows what kind of miraculous abilities the Silver Dragon Martial Soul will have. I'm really afraid that you'll end up like your teacher back then—"

The Dragon God Douluo Mu En of that time was incredibly talented. Relying on his superior cultivation, he fought against Du Bisi Fang. Although he ultimately won, it was a Pyrrhic victory.

His spine was broken by a single palm strike from the terrifying burst of his Gold-level second awakening martial soul, leaving him with a lifelong disability.

"Don't worry, Mei'er." Yan Shaozhe held Cai Mei'er's hand, his eyes brimming with absolute confidence.

"No matter how talented he is, he has only just broken through to the Soul Saint realm. With my Super Douluo-level Bright Phoenix Martial Soul, he has no chance of escaping. Moreover, Elder Xuan personally searched Shrek City and the surrounding area carefully using the Golden Tree some time ago. Even Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao could not possibly be hiding near Shrek City."

Back then, Yan Shaozhe was also a peerless genius who dominated his peers, having trampled over the defeats and resentments of countless geniuses.

As time has passed, he now holds the high position of Dean of the Martial Soul Department. How could he allow the pride and dignity of a peak expert to be slighted?

Even if a junior who is less than one-fifth the age of him has extraordinary abilities, how much trouble can he cause in the face of absolute suppression of soul power level and realm?

joke!

"When I return, I will personally visit the Sea God Pavilion to apologize to Elder Xuan and the other elders!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, the level 96 Bright Phoenix Douluo, shone with golden light, and a powerful, blazing, and sacred aura soared into the sky!

He glanced at Cai Meier one last time, then transformed into a dazzling streak of light, silently disappearing into the sky and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

West of Shrek City, Kong Tianxu walked alone on the flat plain of Lima, his journey home was smooth.

He was really just walking, instead of choosing to travel by flying soul tool as usual.

Since his enlightenment a year after falling into the Starry Sky Plane, Kong Tianxu's state of mind has undergone some subtle changes. For a considerable period of time afterward, without Tang San's constraints and the threat of the Clear Sky Sect, he no longer needed to devote all his attention to cultivation, and he rarely showed a bit of his natural laziness.

Every flower, every tree, every blade of grass, every leaf, even the wind that sweeps across the fields, and the solid earth beneath our feet, all seem to contain a unique meaning and vitality.

He moved at a leisurely pace, his feet barely touching the ground. Without using any soul power or innate abilities, his figure glided forward like flowing water, and his speed was not slow at all.

As he traveled, Kong Tianxu carefully observed every subtle change in the soul power within his body.

The silver soul power that was originally surrounded by a faint golden light has now completely transformed into a deep and noble purple-gold color, which surrounds the center of the soul core in the chest like a galaxy, flowing slowly.

He didn't need to do anything deliberately. The black vortex in his chest, located in another space, opened naturally. Within that vortex was endless darkness, which began to autonomously absorb and refine the boundless primordial energy of heaven and earth into incomparably pure soul power.

Normally, a Soul Master's Soul Power goes through a process of gaseous, liquid, and then solid states as their cultivation level increases.

After the solid-state conversion is fully completed, the bottleneck is level 90.

However, solid soul power cannot flow freely in the meridians like gaseous or liquid soul power. Moreover, the volume of soul power that the human body can bear is limited.

While gaseous and liquid states can be compressed, solid soul power is already highly compressed, making it difficult to further reduce its volume.

Therefore, we must find another way to make it able to withstand more soul power.

Using his own soul power as a guide, he caused the space to collapse, forming a black hole that could endlessly devour the primordial energy of heaven and earth. He then used the power of space and time to store it in his body, breaking through the limits of his physical body's capacity.

At the same time, the solid soul power is decomposed into particles, and then the soul power is controlled to drive them in a gaseous or liquid state.

This is the principle behind the Soul Core, and also the cultivation method of a Title Douluo.

This process is not only difficult, but also dangerous.

Therefore, some Soul Masters who consider themselves to be lacking in talent will even give up further improvement after becoming Title Douluo, so that they can stabilize at the Title Douluo level 91, which is the safest state for them.

If a Soul Master's mental power is strong enough to control these solid particles to additionally manifest as gaseous or liquid states, achieving the coexistence of solid, liquid, and gaseous states, then that is a Super Douluo.

Therefore, after reaching the Super Douluo realm, cultivation becomes easier than before, at least there is a clear path to follow.

Of course, this only means that cultivation itself has become easier. In reality, by the time you reach the Super Douluo stage, cultivation is basically ineffective.

However, the effects of the Soul Core are undoubtedly extremely powerful. As it continuously rotates, it absorbs external soul power through the Soul Master, supplying it for their use. Both combat strength and recovery ability are far superior to before, and the speed of cultivation is incomparable.

This is why there is a saying that achieving a title is like rising to the top in one step.

This is why, after a full year of profound meditation in the Fallen Star Plane, Kong Tianxu's soul power level did not improve as much as Huo Yuhao's, who had a six-month period of enlightenment without any progress.

With a Soul Core, even without deliberate meditation or cultivation, the Soul Core's self-rotation will still drive a steady increase in Soul Power.

Simply put, this soul core is like Kong Tianxu in another dimension. The Kong Tianxu in this world is having an epiphany, while the Kong Tianxu in the other world is tirelessly cultivating and accumulating.

His current accurate soul power level should have reached the threshold of level 80, but his soul power is still in liquid form. However, because he has condensed a soul core, in terms of the total amount and refinement of his soul power, he has probably already surpassed ordinary Super Douluo.

His cultivation speed has reached a new level, on top of what was already terrifying.

Kong Tianxu was confident that he would reach the level 89 barrier within two years at most, before he turned twenty.

However, if it's a Title Douluo...

He shook his head with a wry smile.

While condensing the first soul core ahead of schedule brought immeasurable benefits, the scale and quality of this soul core were truly terrifying, and the resources consumed in condensing the soul core also exceeded Kong Tianxu's imagination. He didn't know how much energy he would need to break through to level 90 in the way he initially envisioned.

Is it really the only option left to settle for a Yin-Yang complementary dual-soul core?

As his thoughts raced, his speed increased imperceptibly. His figure gradually became ethereal, rising from the ground and riding the wind.

As he flew, he remained immersed in sensing the changes in his soul core. His speed continued to increase, transforming him into an elusive, pale purple-gold streak in the air.

Even more strangely, the boundary between this stream of light and its surroundings gradually blurred, giving it a mysterious quality of truly merging with the universe.

Flight no longer seemed to rely on soul power for propulsion; it was as if the air itself had become an extension of his body. With a slight thought, the airflow naturally propelled his body forward, the speed entirely at his command.

This is not merely a simple harmony between man and nature; it also incorporates his increasingly profound understanding and pure comprehension of the power of space, enabling him to reach such a wondrous realm that is almost one with the universe.

Just an hour later, he had gradually left the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire and arrived at the outer edge of a mountain range that served as the natural boundary between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

It should be here soon, right?

Looking at the sky, Kong Tianxu calculated the time and stopped by a clear stream.

He raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a black shadow flashed out, landing on the ground and transforming into a black cat-like creature.

With wings on its back and blood-red eyes, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, only the size of a house cat, let out a low howl and swiftly disappeared into the forest, soon returning with the corpse of a plump, hundred-year-old soul beast.

Kong Tianxu lit a campfire and slowly began to enjoy his meal, drinking from the clear stream. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lay at his feet, gnawing on a large bone. With a single open jaws, a dense stream of black energy enveloped and digested the entire bone.

As a top-tier devouring soul beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is undoubtedly extremely efficient at digesting and utilizing various nutrients. Its innate devouring ability allows it to utilize the essence of food to the fullest extent.

Watching the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger eat, Kong Tianxu seemed to suddenly realize something, and a thought flickered in his mind.

Behind him, a jet-black mass of air instantly took shape.

The Holy Spirit Puppet's first soul skill in ten thousand years: Dark Demon Refining God Devour.

Within a radius of 100 meters, everything suddenly became shrouded in darkness. The terrifying devouring power reduced everything within this area to nothingness, consuming its energy, whether it was life or sand and stone.

The babbling brook in front of him instantly stopped flowing, nearly half of the water disappeared into thin air, and a huge amount of energy was forcibly extracted, condensing into a crystal-clear water ball above Kong Tianxu's palm.

He took out a jade bottle, carefully placed it inside, aimed it at the dark clouds in the sky, and shook it. As if boiling, colorful energy bubbles quickly rose to the surface.

Clouds in the blue sky, water in the bottle.

Too complicated.

But with this skill, if he fully utilizes everything in that paradise on earth, it would be enough for him to break through level ninety.

Of course, a transfer station is also needed.

Feeling the unique effect of this soul skill originating from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had been around for 100,000 years, Kong Tianxu's lips curled into a thoughtful smile. A vague yet extremely bold idea quickly took shape in his mind.

Just then, the sky suddenly brightened.

The weather was originally very gloomy today, with dark clouds hanging low. But suddenly, somewhere in those thick clouds, it was as if a second sun had been born without any warning.

A divine power of light erupted instantly, violently clearing away the thick fog that stretched for miles around, turning the mountain wilderness a stark white, revealing every detail.

At the core of the light that dispelled the dark clouds, a figure descended slowly, stepping through the void. Golden light swirled around him, and the phantom of a phoenix appeared and disappeared behind him.

Yan Shaozhe hovered in mid-air, his powerful soul power as a level 96 Super Douluo spreading out without reservation, his gaze fixed on the boy by the stream.

"Is Dean Yan so reluctant to part with me that he traveled all this way to see me off?"

The clear stream began to flow again. Kong Tianxu swallowed the last bite of food, clapped his hands, and looked up at Yan Shaozhe, who stood in mid-air exuding murderous intent. A slightly relaxed smile even graced his face.
