Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 145 Divine Inheritance!

The old man touched Han Feng's forehead, and Han Feng felt as if countless images had appeared out of thin air in his mind!

Han Feng felt his vision blur for a moment, and the next moment, he saw the old man standing on a towering mountain, his limbs bound by endless iron chains, a divine halo pressing down on his head. Before him stood a majestic man clad in solemn blood-red armor, who held a divine sword, pointed it at the old man, and questioned, "Defense! Do you know your crime!?"

But the old man remained neither surprised nor angry; instead, he laughed loudly and said, "What crime have I committed?!"

Seeing that the old man showed no remorse, the imposing man's face darkened with anger. Without another word, he brought his divine sword down and uttered two cold words: "Judgment!"

This sword strike was devastating, causing the heavens to change color and the earth to tremble!

The old man sneered and arrogantly shouted, "Asura Judgment?! Hahaha! Even the Dragon God couldn't kill me, and you want to?!"

Han Feng's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw the divine sword land on the old man's chest, but it could not advance an inch. Countless dragons of laws burst out from the divine sword, and red and gold stripes with a bloody aura spread across the sky and earth. The dragons of laws let out a silent roar, but they could not do anything to the old man!

In contrast, the old man merely sneered, his surging blood and qi bursting forth, his divine body, ten thousand times harder than refined steel, withstood the judgment of the divine sword!

Han Feng was shocked, but he understood that the old man was telling him what the defense of qi and blood was!

In the blink of an eye, the scene changed. The imposing man with the sword disappeared, and what reappeared in front of the old man was a gloomy man shrouded in a black robe.

The man held a purple-gold scepter; beneath his large hood, only a pair of chilling eyes were visible.

Beside the man stood a beautiful woman in green with a kind face, who advised him, "Ah Zi, while defending yourself against him was wrong, you shouldn't have been so naive..."

"Little Green..." the man murmured.

"Ha!" Just as the man was struggling with his thoughts, the old man suddenly burst into laughter: "Ignorance is the crime!? What crime have I committed!?"

"Unrepentant!" The old man's words directly enraged the man under the cloak. He swung his purple-gold scepter, and countless streams of light transformed into shooting stars, emanating a dense aura of destruction that enveloped the heavens and the earth!

Seeing this, the old man dared not be careless. He shouted loudly, and three ancient shields appeared in front of him. Their ancient aura and destructive aura were no less powerful!

Han Feng saw that the three large shields stood firm like pillars supporting the sky. Even though the destructive stream of light pierced through space, it failed to penetrate the three large shields!

"Is this the energy defense...?" Han Feng's pupils dilated slightly, and he murmured in a trembling voice.

Next, Han Feng saw the old man amidst the myriad demons—at this time, the old man was not old, but appeared to be middle-aged. Facing the countless demons, he was arrogant and disdainful of everything, as if he had never taken anything in front of him seriously.

Moreover, although his body seemed almost tangible at this moment, upon closer inspection, one could still see some spiritual essence, clearly indicating that he was in a soul state.

The countless demons emitted all sorts of sounds, and various attacks rained down on the old man. Each attack made Han Feng tremble with fear!

But the old man waved his hand, and a ring of ethereal bubbles appeared around him. Although the bubbles looked like they would burst at the slightest touch, the attacks of those demons could not break them no matter what they did!

Han Feng had calmed down considerably by now. He squinted at everything in front of him, knowing that the next thing he would face was the so-called defense of will.

This is also the biggest point of contention between the old man and Han Feng!

As expected, after the soul defense wore off, the scene before Han Feng's eyes changed again.

This time, however, the old man appeared as a young man, young and successful, full of vigor and high spirits. Han Feng saw that the old man was riding high, having achieved in his young age what others could never reach in a lifetime, and was surrounded by countless beauties!

But afterwards, the old man became a god.

A second-level deity, the god of defense!

However, a second-level deity cannot bring anyone to the divine realm; the old man could only go to the realm alone.

A hundred years later, all of the old man's relatives in the mortal world turned into a pile of yellow earth. Although the old man was sad, there was nothing he could do.

A thousand years later, the last bloodline the old man left behind in the mortal realm was wiped out by his enemies. Ten thousand years later, no trace of the old man could be found in the mortal realm.

Fifty thousand years later, all of the old man's old friends in the God Realm had gone to travel to the depths of the universe. One hundred thousand years later, the old man had no relatives or friends left in the God Realm!

Having seen this, Han Feng understood why the old man had emphasized the importance of willpower.

The next moment, Han Feng saw the old man again. The old man looked at him with a light smile, his eyes filled with inquiry.

For a moment, Han Feng was at a loss for words. First, he realized that he was in the God Realm, and the powerful figure before him wasn't some titled Douluo, but a genuine Level Two God! Moreover, a Level Two God who had offended both Asura and Destruction! Second, Han Feng realized that he had just seemingly refuted this powerful figure's accumulated insights over ten thousand years.

One hundred thousand years! Enough for the old man to witness the rise and fall of a civilization!

Han Feng's discussion of defense in front of him felt somewhat like showing off his limited skills before an expert.

Seeing Han Feng speechless, the old man felt both satisfied and relieved!

Thank goodness I've lived a long life!

If it were a different elemental deity, they would probably make a huge fool of themselves today!

"Well? Do you still think my words are nonsense?" the old man asked sarcastically.

Han Feng quickly shook his head: "This junior wouldn't dare!"

"Heh! Foolish child!" The old man sighed, his expression no longer as cynical as before, his cloudy eyes filled with vicissitudes. He said to Han Feng, "The defense of will, how can it be that you sever all emotions and desires? It's just... only by not being sad can you not be hurt, only by not being angry can you not be alarmed!"

Han Feng felt a strange unease.

Even though the old man showed Han Feng his experiences of 100,000 years, and even though the old man explained it this way, Han Feng still couldn't accept the so-called defense of will.

Because he knew he would never repeat the old man's mistakes!

But he also understood that he was clearly not qualified to discuss this with the God of Defense in front of him, so he just listened obediently!

"I won't try to fool you. The reason I appeared before you is to pass on the divine position to you! That's why I was so stern. Do you understand?" Seeing that Han Feng remained silent, the old man understood perfectly. He sighed and didn't press the matter, but spoke earnestly.

Han Feng trembled upon hearing this!

Although Han Feng had some guesses after learning that the old man was the God of Defense, he was still shocked when the old man said it himself!

This is a genuine deity! A deity capable of breaking through the shackles of the divine realm! And Han Feng, to put it bluntly, is only a Soul Master right now!

"This..." But Han Feng was not overwhelmed by the sudden surprise. If Han Feng were level 70 or 80 now, he could understand if the God of Defense came to him. But he was only at the Soul Sect level, and the god had come to him personally. It was too eager!

Something unusual must be going on, and Han Feng couldn't help but worry.

The old man chuckled softly, "You needn't be so wary! Having witnessed my rise and fall over ten thousand years, you should understand that I have long since lost all attachment to this divine realm! My only desire now is to ascend to the depths of the universe as soon as possible!"

"As for why I've come to you at this time..." The old man paused abruptly, rolled his eyes, and snorted irritably, "You'll find out later! It's not my fault!"

If it weren't for the fact that Vulcan and the old man were vying for a successor, the old man wouldn't have wanted to approach Han Feng so soon!

It's like all the defensive deities have lost their value!

"Ah..." Han Feng saw that the old man didn't want to say more, so he didn't press him further and opened his mouth, but chose to remain silent.

The old man glanced at Han Feng, snorted, and chuckled, "You're the kind of person who won't act until you see the benefit! You were talking so confidently before, why are you suddenly so humble now?"

Han Feng chuckled awkwardly and didn't refute.
