Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 154 The 100,000-Year-Old Mandragora Serpent

When the number of spirit beasts dwindled, in order to regulate the relationship between humans and spirit beasts, they created spirit spirits. This laid the foundation for the Spirit Pagoda we know today.

From that time onward, human soul guidance technology began to develop rapidly, and soon all kinds of soul guidance devices appeared, and mechs were invented.

It wasn't until thousands of years ago, when battle armor appeared, that mecha civilization truly had the foundation to surpass the original abilities of Soul Masters.

Battle armor greatly enhances the strength of high-level Soul Masters. If a Title Douluo who has just broken through to level 90 can possess a four-word battle armor, it means that he himself can reach the level of Limit Douluo, which is rare even in human history.

Although the Limit Douluo level remains the strongest power limited by the rules of this world, the significant increase in the number of humans capable of reaching this level has completely suppressed the final counterattack of those powerful soul beasts. This has led to the ultimate decline of soul beasts, to the point that they are now on the verge of extinction.

It's easy to imagine how exalted the status of a four-word Battle Armor Master is in the entire human world. There are only a handful of known four-word Battle Armor Masters across the entire continent, and they are all among the most revered beings. It is said that four-word Battle Armor Masters also exist on the other two continents. However, the people of Douluo Continent have always believed that, as the origin of Soul Masters, the Battle Armor Masters of Douluo Continent are absolutely the most powerful.

Yuan Enhui, unusually, responded to Le Zhengyu's question, "Tianfeng Douluo? The deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, the deputy chairman of the Spirit Pagoda Council?"

Le Zhengyu smiled wryly, "Who else could it be but this person? I never expected to have the honor of meeting Senior Tianfeng Douluo today. It's truly an honor! Gu Yue, you'll be my big sister from now on." He looked longingly at her, just like an ordinary fan.

Gu Yue did not respond.

The ninety-ninth floor...

The entire space began to change completely, with dense forests and the long-lasting breath of life beginning to permeate it.

There was no metallic feel around, as if it were a naturally formed little world. Gu You stepped into the depths, surrounded by ancient trees, the shortest of which was more than ten meters tall.

He wanted to see what the first of the 100,000-year-old soul beast spirits that the Spirit Pagoda had treasured for so long would be.

Simultaneously projecting his mental energy, he perceived everything around him.

"Swish, swish..."

The sound of rapid rubbing of tree bark began to emerge.

it's here!

Gu You looked up, and at the same time, a powerful wave spread out from his body, instantly scattering anything that tried to approach him into the sky.

The enormous figure resembled a ten-thousand-meter-long dragon, its entire body a vibrant red with sharply defined edges. Upon truly seeing the appearance of this soul beast, Gu You exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Is that a mandrake?

There's no mistake, it's so similar. It has the unique dark green triangular head and ruby-like eyes of the Datura serpent. The only difference is the two long horns on the top of its head.

Could this really be a dragon? Gu You felt a chill run down his spine. This was different from the dragon that the Demon Lizard Dragon would eventually transform into. The true, fully grown dragon that the Demon Lizard Dragon could transform into was the so-called Western dragon, which emphasized bloodline. Gu You's martial soul was also a Western dragon.

The true dragon that this Mandragora Serpent might transform into would definitely be a purebred Chinese dragon like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. It shouldn't be subject to bloodline suppression, especially not the suppression of Western dragons. But that's how the setting of Douluo Continent III is: Soul Power level determines the future, Martial Soul determines the upper limit, and Bloodline determines the lower limit! As long as it's a dragon, there will be suppression of quality between bloodlines.

The datura snake floated in the air for a while, then fell at an extremely fast speed and disappeared into the forest. Most strangely, it made no sound at all.

But Gu You could see its enormous size clearly.

It's so big, it doesn't look like a snake at all.

"Is this a Datura snake?" Even the well-informed Yue Zhengyu was filled with disbelief. Could this thing cultivate for 100,000 years?

"What a huge snake..." Xu Xiaoyan covered her face, not daring to look directly at it. She was really afraid of snakes, so afraid of snakes.

Normally, the natural level of such a soul beast is limited to ten thousand years of cultivation, because that's about the limit for snakes.

Before a thousand years of cultivation, the body of the Mandala Serpent is dark green. As it ages, its length increases by one meter every hundred years, reaching nearly ten meters when it approaches a thousand years.

After a thousand years of cultivation, the power of the Mandala Serpent will be concentrated, and it will molt continuously. Its body color will change from dark green to pink, and its length will shrink back to one meter. After that, it will grow one meter every hundred years. Even if we calculate it this way, it will be a full one hundred meters long when it breaks through to ten thousand years!

Don't think this is short! A 100-meter-long python is nothing more than an ant when a human stands in front of it.

And this is only at the ten-thousand-year level. After two thousand years of cultivation, the pink color of the Mandragora Serpent begins to deepen, until it reaches the ten-thousand-year level, at which point its body turns yellow. It also re-condenses its power, continuously molting its skin, growing one meter every hundred years of cultivation. After reaching the impossible hundred-thousand-year level, it will be nearly a thousand meters long, which is simply unimaginable.

Judging from the current color of the 100,000-year-old Mandragora, its body should be dark red, and it will not condense its power again or shed its skin.

It's a complete 1,000-meter-long behemoth!

The Mandragora Serpent is also an extremely intelligent soul beast, especially one that has reached the 100,000-year level. Its body is incredibly tough, impervious to ordinary swords and blades; its only weaknesses are its mouth and eyes, which it protects exceptionally well. It is also incredibly fast. Its venom is potent, not only paralyzing but also highly destructive to the nervous system, making it one of the most terrifying poison-attribute soul beasts.

Its poison can kill a thousand-year-old soul beast in a hundred years, not to mention the venom of the 100,000-year-old Mandragora Snake, which no soul beast has ever tasted.

As Leng Yaozhu watched the scene unfolding on the screen, she initially didn't believe in the existence of a 100,000-year-old Mandragora Serpent. However, after studying the history of the Spirit Pagoda from thousands of years ago, she finally understood why this Mandragora Serpent could break through to such a level.

Before the Star Dou Great Forest was completely surrounded and imprisoned by the Spirit Pagoda, some of the Spirit Pagoda's internal personnel began to investigate the number of powerful spirit beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest in order to inform the Spirit Pagoda's future plans. Using a new type of spirit tool, the staff at the time made a bizarre discovery: within the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, there was a very spacious underground region.

However, at that time, the Star Dou Great Forest was not yet fully under human control, and the exploration of this underground area was shelved for an unknown period of time.

But as mecha armor developed rapidly, soul beasts could no longer resist...
