Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 171 Ah Yin and Tang Hao

Vibrant life energy continuously converges towards the golden ancient tree.

These life energies come from all over the Douluo Continent, from countless soul beasts, soul masters, and even ordinary animals and plants.

Unbeknownst to them, they offered up their meager share of life force.

Invisible green light spots converged and moved towards Poseidon Island, traversing space towards the ancient golden tree.

The canopy of the golden ancient tree, the roots of the golden ancient tree.

It draws its life force continuously from Douluo Star itself, where it is deeply rooted.

Generally speaking, the existence of a life core is a symbol of the vitality of all living things on a planet.

The continuous growth of the life core will also drive the vitality of life on this planet.

However, in the past ten thousand years, it has not only been the strongest among the Soul Masters.

Even if their cultivation level rises to the level of Title Douluo or Super Douluo.

It is difficult for them to possess a lifespan as long as that of ancient powerful figures, which could last for thousands of years.

Even if one achieves the Limit Douluo title, their lifespan is only a mere three hundred years.

It is important to understand that even with ample faith transformed into mental energy, one must be aware of the consequences.

However, three hundred years is far from enough time for a Limit Douluo to completely energize his body through telekinesis.

That is, becoming a god, not to mention the subsequent creation of a divine position and ascension to the divine realm.

This is certainly not because it was an earlier era, or even a time when civilization was more backward.

The Title Douluos of that time were stronger than the Title Douluos of today.

Rather, it was because the core of life had encountered a major problem ten thousand years ago.

Normally, as time goes by, the original Douluo civilization should grow stronger and stronger.

After all, only when the cultivation of Soul Masters forms a virtuous cycle with the world can the development of the world be continuously promoted.

This was the case back in the Divine Dragon Realm. As Douluo Star itself grew stronger, its cultivation system also became increasingly robust.

However, with the destruction of the Divine Dragon Realm, the energy level of Douluo Star itself plummeted, and the original civilization naturally suffered a major blow.

Furthermore, the existence of the Soul Master system leads to a vicious cycle, causing Douluo Star to repeatedly teeter between evolution and degeneration.

Originally, such fluctuations would gradually stabilize and eventually tend towards a benign state, even if only for the divine realm.

But everything changed after Tang Hao and Ah Yin descended to the mortal realm and attempted to usurp the power of the plane's ruler and the core of life.

This is due to the clash between the original life core chosen one, the Golden Ancient Tree, and the god-level Blue Silver Emperor.

Directly and unnoticed by everyone, it invisibly increased the internal consumption of life energy.

The existence of life energy does not arise from nothing, but rather appears alongside countless living beings.

The significant loss of life energy directly led to a sharp drop in the lifespan of human Soul Masters after breaking through to the Title level.

This has indirectly led to an increase in the difficulty of soul beasts growing up, since the growth of soul beasts is essentially about extending their lifespan.

When the time limit is reached, the strength will naturally increase, but many soul beasts are limited by the lack of life energy.

They lack sufficient aptitude and bloodline potential, coupled with the demand for soul rings among human soul masters.

This naturally accelerated the extinction of the soul beasts.

Compared to the original situation where only two life cores were competing for life force, and everything was still under control.

Now, with Gu Yuena's intervention, the original process has been directly interrupted.

In order to protect herself, Ah Yin didn't care about anything else.

She urgently withdrew a large amount of life energy to protect herself from Gu Yuena's influence.

Looking at Ah Yin's actions, Gu Yuena simply said coldly, "Hmph, fool."

As a large amount of life energy was continuously released and released under Ah Yin's control, Huo Yuhao also arrived.

"Looks like I've arrived just in time." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and then his Domain of Truth completely covered the towering golden ancient tree.

It was originally hidden within the rules through special channels.

The life force transmitted to the Golden Tree was now fully manifested in the Realm of Truth.

These unclaimed life energies were naturally quite valuable to Huo Yuhao.

After all, the gold of life is formed by the gathering and nurturing of a large amount of life force.

The Star Dou Great Forest is merely a gathering place for soul beasts, yet it has accumulated so much spiritual gold over a long period of time.

In this desperate situation, the life force that Ah Yin draws upon is the power she uses to access the core of life.

It is derived from a portion of the life force of all living beings on the entire Douluo Continent, and even the entire Douluo Star.

Moreover, compared to the vitality that is secretly and invisibly seized and accumulated over many years, it is more like the vitality that is accumulated over many years.

Ah Yin is now really serious, and some powerful Title Douluos can clearly feel their life force being drained.

Although they were powerless to do anything about it, this was enough to demonstrate just how immense the life force Ah Yin had absorbed this time was.

After all, the total value of life energy remains constant.

With this ebb and flow, Ah Yin absorbs more and more life energy.

That means the Golden Tree can control less life energy.

In this way, her control over the core authority of life will naturally become stronger.

The ancient golden tree itself is not very intelligent and will not actively resist.

However, it was originally intended to be the core of life, and it was a much better fit for the core of life than Ah Yin.

Therefore, in order to replace the Golden Tree, Agin had to spend a long time gradually usurping and replacing it.

However, with this desperate gamble, the life energy forcibly extracted was intercepted by Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, Ah Yin also faced her own backlash.

The branches and leaves that were originally entwined and rooted in the ancient golden tree, showing almost no signs of abnormality, revealed their true forms.

They were actually golden vines and grass blades with deep blue interiors.

At this moment, they uncontrollably detached themselves from the ancient golden tree.

At the same time, they began to wither and die on a large scale.

Meanwhile, dark clouds filled the sky.

A deafening roar of thunder and a flurry of lightning like golden snakes were brewing.

The Blue Silver Emperor, who originally concealed his existence, could naturally evade the detection of the laws of Douluo Star itself.

After all, back in the lower realm, Tang San had already prepared ample means for his Tang Hao and Ah Yin.

Otherwise, how could he possibly let these two people, who are so closely connected to him, carry out this grand plan that would last for millennia?

At this moment, with such a large-scale plundering of life force, it would be difficult for Ah Yin to remain undetected.

Gu Yuena narrowed her purple eyes and said, "This guy's true form is about to be expelled."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Leave it to me, you guard against the other guy."

A blue-gold energy was seen gathering.

A somewhat weak female figure broke through the heart of the golden ancient tree and emerged from it.

He barely managed to mobilize the life energy he could control to erect a green protective shield.

At this moment, due to the obstruction of the realm of truth, the heavenly lightning from the outside world did not know where to strike, but was only accumulating its power.

At the same time, a burly man wielding a giant hammer broke through the spatial barrier.

He forcefully barged into Huo Yuhao's realm of truth, and seeing the weakened Ah Yin, anger rose in his heart.

"I don't care who you are, anyone who dares to hurt my Ah Yin must die!"

This person was none other than Tang Hao, the man who, along with Ah Yin, divided the power of Douluo Star and attempted to become the master of the plane.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly as he looked at Tang Hao, whose aura was sometimes strong and sometimes chaotic and unstable.

It seems that the Sun and Moon Empire's Sun and Moon Cannon wasn't entirely without merit.

At least that one move probably really had a significant impact on Tang Hao.

"That person should have left something else in Shrek Academy, but it's uncertain whether it's still usable now."

Huo Yuhao said softly to Gu Yuena, "I'll leave this guy to you. I'll be right back."

At this moment, Tang Hao swung his giant hammer, the immense power mixed with divine strength.

It directly shattered the space around its giant hammer, creating a series of spatial rifts.

It then attacked Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

Tang Hao's aura continued to surge.

At the same time, faint images of energy rings breaking apart and then merging into his body appeared around him.

Gu Yuena simply nodded slightly in response to Huo Yuhao.

The next instant, the Realm of Truth that had covered the entire Poseidon Island vanished into thin air.

Not even a trace was left.

Also disappearing at the same time.

Huo Yuhao and Ah Yin, who was expelled from her physical body by the Golden Ancient Tree.

There were no spatial fluctuations, and not a trace could be detected.

Tang Hao sensed that Ah Yin's aura had disappeared, and the power of the giant hammer in his hand faltered.

"Ah! Ah Yin!" Immediately, his blood rushed to his head, and he was enraged to the extreme.

He could naturally tell what Huo Yuhao had done to kidnap Ah Yin.

But at this moment, Huo Yuhao had already disappeared, leaving him with nowhere to vent his anger.

The only thing he could do was vent his anger on the silver-haired, purple-eyed girl in front of him.

The previously stagnant Haotian Hammer attacked Gu Yuena with even more terrifying speed and power.

At this moment, Tang Hao even burned the divine core within his body.

It's important to know that Tang San didn't provide any subsidies from the God Realm to ensure that he and Ah Yin could descend to the mortal realm smoothly.

Therefore, in terms of actual strength...

They were even inferior to the Niu Tian and Titan, who were priests, barely reaching the level of gods.

However, on Douluo Star, he possesses the identities of half a plane master and half a life core.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin are immune to some of the restrictions imposed by the laws of Douluo Star, allowing them to unleash their full power.

Moreover, since the attack was launched from Douluo Star, it resonated with the power of Douluo Star's own laws, thus allowing it to unleash even greater strength.

At this moment, however, Gu Yuena did not take Tang Hao's anger and his attack, which was mixed with the fragmented and chaotic power of the plane's ruler, seriously.

After all, Douluo Star originally belonged to the Divine Dragon Realm.

The assistance and authority that the power of its laws can provide.

How could Gu Yuena, who was half of the Dragon God, not know this?

With this clear understanding of both himself and his enemy, Tang Hao's attacks were devoid of any fancy maneuvers.

With a flash of silver light, Tang Hao's attack was unleashed at the same time.

The original Poseidon Island and Poseidon Lake were instantly wiped out by this attack containing terrifying power.

The earth shattered, lakes evaporated, elements were depleted, and even space itself collapsed on a large scale.

Even the ancient golden tree was significantly affected, with a small portion of its roots disappearing entirely.

Even though it has not yet become a complete life core, the damage to the Golden Ancient Tree at this moment has a real impact on Douluo Star itself.

Tang Hao himself suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, a backlash from the plane itself.

The duty of the ruler of a plane is to maintain the order and stability of the plane itself.

Tang Hao's actions now are undoubtedly a betrayal of this responsibility.

Tang Hao had already gained more than half of control over the sovereignty of the plane.

However, his earlier act of forcibly blocking the Sun and Moon Cannon attack for the Golden Ancient Tree had already shaken his established position.

As the ruler of a plane, he was not one to easily reveal himself to the world.

If a move is necessary under normal circumstances, it requires a long period of preparation and adjustment.

It gathers and retracts its own consciousness from all aspects of Douluo Star without affecting the operation of other areas.

Forcibly aggregating consciousness to take action would cause the laws and order of other regions of Douluo Star to be disrupted.

Now, because Ah Yin's true form has been forced out, Tang Hao has made his move once again.

This is already a violation of the duties of the ruler of the plane.

The combination of these two factors, along with the previous hidden injuries, caused Tang Hao's originally powerful aura to drop considerably.

But the next moment, the silver light flashed again.

The spatial disorder that appeared where the silver light appeared was smoothed out again, the elements re-converged, and nature returned to its original state.

It was Gu Yuena; if that attack had actually landed on her just now...

Even the Silver Dragon King, whose strength has not yet fully recovered, will suffer considerable damage.

Unfortunately, Tang Hao's prized Clear Sky Hammer, his secret techniques, and even the authority of the ruler of a plane were all lost.

In Gu Yuena's eyes, who possessed the memories and perspective of the Dragon God's inheritance, everything seemed so ridiculous.

It's like a child picking up a tree branch and charging at an adult.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin secretly descended to the mortal realm very early, so early that they didn't even have time to adapt to their power as god-level experts.

Tang Hao is still using the same set of equipment he used when he was a mortal, as Haotian Douluo.

However, god-level powerhouses have long since developed an unimaginable gap in combat methods and life levels compared to mortals.

In Gu Yuena's eyes, Tang Hao's use of his power and authority was extremely superficial and inefficient.

In fact, most of the gods in the divine realm are below the level of a first-level deity.

They all possess great strength and can send bricks flying, but their understanding and perception of the laws themselves are far from sufficient.

So-called divine skills are simply a more effective way to utilize divine power and the power of laws.

Even so, most of the gods' divine skills are nothing more than the same three tricks that have remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years.

Seeing this incredulously, Tang Hao mustered his strength again and wielded the sledgehammer to attack him.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuena's purple eyes: "Then let me show you how to wield the power of a plane."
