Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 417 Cooperation?

"court death."

Upon seeing this, Nan Fusheng, who had transformed into Oukeser, let out a roar. Invisible black mist swirled around him, and his spiritual power also erupted slightly.

At the same time, Nan Fusheng also directly borrows the core capabilities of the "Fool" approach: restructuring, or rather, alteration, or grafting.

He directly connected himself with the Heavenly Punishment in the Dragon Valley Small World, allowing him to fully utilize its power.

The ability to "reorganize" is incredibly terrifying. It can recombine many entities or abstract concepts that are not directly related under normal circumstances, achieving incredible effects, as if it were altering definitions, logic, directions, or rules.

It acts directly on the "concept" itself, not only at an extremely high level, like a true deity descending, but also with a strange and mysterious effect. It embodies the authority of the Lord of Mysteries over the realm of change.

Nan Fusheng did not want to expose himself too much, so he used this ability slightly, directly adding the power of divine punishment to himself.

"Demon Insect Demon".

The black mist transformed into black energy worms, which rushed directly towards the Ghost Emperor's death flames and skull.

As for the invisible sonic attack, Nan Fusheng simply ignored it; his mental strength was far superior to that of a dark bell.

"Snap, snap!"

Accompanied by a chilling chewing sound, the dark green flames and skull were actually devoured by the insects, which then pounced on the Ghost Emperor and the Dark Bell.

"What?!"

The Ghost Emperor stared at this scene in disbelief. He knew that the Douluo Plane was very exclusive, and looking at the appearance of that insect-like monster, he knew without a doubt that it was not a species from the Douluo Plane.

Logically speaking, even if such a guy could sneak into the Douluo Continent, his own power should be suppressed.

But how could this insect monster still be so powerful right now!

"A near-godlike being!"

The Ghost Emperor immediately assessed the opponent's strength, recognizing him as a powerful quasi-god. With his battle armor destroyed, he was at best a demigod; facing this insect-like monster was utterly unwise.

However, these souls are of paramount importance, as they are the foundation for their Holy Spirit Church's future deification. He was unwilling to retreat like this!

Thinking of this, the Ghost Emperor let out a strange cry, his whole body radiating green light. The skull beneath him quickly devoured his body, and a large burst of light and flames rose up to resist the demonic insects.

At the same time, Dark Bell was not idle either. Among the six black and three red spirit rings on its body, the seventh 100,000-year spirit ring lit up, directly transforming into a huge bell, the true form of its martial spirit.

"Ring ring, ring ring!"

The terrifying dark green sound waves materialized and attacked, along with countless dark green vengeful spirits, which also rushed towards Nan Fusheng along with the sound waves.

"Muda, muda, all your abilities are too weak."

Nan Fusheng now possesses the soul power of divine punishment, and his own spiritual power has surged again after breaking through to the second sequence.

Nan Fusheng wasn't sure exactly how strong it was, since he didn't have any good benchmarks. But it could definitely crush the Silver Dragon King back in the Dragon Valley Small World.

A first-level deity? Or perhaps a God-King!

Nan Fusheng was unaware of this. In fact, once the second-order potion was fully digested, his mental strength would increase further.

With his mental strength alone, he could easily crush the Ghost Emperor. But he didn't do it, just for fun.

It's because he's transformed into Super (Fast) Vegeta, and he's going to go wild.

Nan Fusheng stomped hard on the ground, creating a large crater, and charged straight at the Ghost Emperor. The dark green sound waves and undead were shattered by the black mist surrounding him.

The next moment, Nan Fusheng went directly to the skull that the Ghost Emperor had transformed into. Looking at the demonic insect that was still gnawing on it, Nan Fusheng did not hesitate for a moment. Terrifying soul power surged in his hand and condensed into a phantom of a demonic insect.

"Demon Barrier".

With a loud "boom," the Ghost Emperor's skull was shattered. The next second, the Ghost Emperor's body reappeared. Although most of his body had turned into a skeleton, he was still able to spit out a mouthful of dark green blood.

At this moment, the Ghost Emperor's eyes were filled with terror. How could there be such a powerful person in this world? Even if the other party wasn't a god, he was probably extremely close!

Dark green flames erupted from the Ghost Emperor's body as he tried to escape.

But the next moment, a large blue hand grabbed his neck, and black insects clung to his body along the hand, devouring his soul power and cutting off the Ghost Emperor's chance to escape.

Then, Nan Fusheng grabbed the Ghost Emperor by the neck and lifted him up.

Seeing this, the Dark Bell, not far away, began to frantically activate its martial spirit. The huge bell kept emitting a piercing sound, causing the surrounding space to become slightly unstable.

"Little girl, your abilities are the most useless!"

Nan Fusheng let out a sinister laugh, and then a terrifying mental wave emanated from his body, directly attacking the Dark Bell.

"Damn it, where the hell is Phoenix?!"

Dark Bell inwardly groaned; this strange insect-like monster before her was far too powerful.

Unfortunately, their strongest Ghost Emperor had been severely injured by Yun Ming before, and even his four-word battle armor was destroyed.

Otherwise, even if they couldn't beat their opponent, they wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

Now that the Ghost Emperor has been captured, she can only try her best to rescue him. With the power of this insect monster, she doesn't think she can easily get rid of him. She can only try her best to save the Ghost Emperor and then join forces to have a chance of survival.

Then, she felt a terrifying mental storm hit her, as if her head had been struck hard by a sledgehammer.

Martial Soul True Body, Break!

Dark Bell's body appeared, blood flowing uncontrollably from its mouth and nose, its face filled with horror. This insect monster's mental power was far too strong!

"You... what exactly are you?! There is absolutely no creature like you on the Douluo Continent!"

With his neck being gripped, the Ghost Emperor began to ask the question intermittently, trying to stall for time while also trying to extract information.

He could tell that the other party was not a sea spirit beast, or even a spirit beast, but it was definitely not human either!

Invaders from other dimensions! This was the only answer the Ghost Emperor could think of.

To possess such strength and not be suppressed by the plane, the other party must have been in this Douluo plane for a very long time.

"We can cooperate. Our Holy Spirit Cult is quite powerful. Although you are strong, there are many powerful individuals on the entire Douluo Continent, and the Federation also has many powerful figures. If they all attack at once, even you will only suffer defeat."

Judging from their actions of collecting souls, they are definitely not good people, and the Holy Spirit Cult is not a good people either. Therefore, there is a possibility that the two sides could cooperate.

Clearly, the Ghost Emperor had already mistaken Nan Fusheng for an invader from another dimension. After all, Nan Fusheng's aura was extremely strange, neither like a soul beast nor a human.

Therefore, even Gu Yue and Na'er regarded him as an invader from another dimension when they were in the Dragon Valley Small World, and the Ghost Emperor was no exception.

After saying this, the Ghost Emperor could clearly feel the force gripping his neck lessen.

"There's hope!" The Ghost Emperor was overjoyed; the other party had clearly been persuaded. Although most of his soul had been taken away, gaining such an ally in return was definitely worthwhile!

After all, while souls are precious, with so many people on the entire Douluo Continent, if they were willing to spend some time, or concentrate most of their forces to go to a major city and massacre people, they could still collect them.

Although their Holy Spirit Cult is powerful, the Federation clearly has more experts, which is why they dare not show themselves easily and can only wage guerrilla warfare in a sneaky manner.

The attitude of various organizations on the mainland towards evil spirit masters is truly terrible; they are killed the moment they show their faces.

"In our Holy Spirit Cult, there is one whose strength is no less than mine. There is also a cult leader whose strength far surpasses mine. However, she hardly gets involved in anything; I handle most of the cult's affairs. Therefore, I am fully capable of representing the Holy Spirit Cult in cooperating with you."

To cooperate, one must first demonstrate strength. The Ghost Emperor first pointed out the high-level combat power within the sect, and then stated that he was the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, thus increasing his own importance.

What benefits can you bring me?

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor knew that the matter was settled; the other party's attitude had wavered.

"Our Holy Spirit Cult has developed for tens of thousands of years, and has collected countless rare and precious materials. Moreover, we have people in the Federation, and the Spirit Pagoda, the wealthiest organization on the continent, is also cooperating with us."

Whatever you need, even if we don't have it here, you can get the information from the Douluo Continent immediately through the Spirit Pagoda.

The Ghost Emperor started spouting nonsense, or rather, a mix of truth and falsehood. In any case, preserving his life was the priority, so he naturally exaggerated the situation.

Nan Fusheng immediately saw through the Ghost Emperor's nonsense. It was true that the Spirit Pagoda was cooperating with them, but that cooperation was probably limited to killing Yun Ming.

As soon as Yun Ming dies, that guy Qian Gu Dong Feng will definitely betray the Holy Spirit Cult immediately.

But he didn't expose it. Instead, he casually tossed the Ghost Emperor back to the Dark Bell. "You're right, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But I don't trust you yet. We'll talk about cooperation later."

The Ghost Emperor struggled to his feet. "Of course. However, may I ask your esteemed name?"

"Li Xiaochou".

"The name does sound quite human," the Ghost Emperor thought to himself.

At this moment, a dazzling blue light quickly shone. Nan Fusheng slightly turned his gaze to the back and saw that the soul cocoon was shining brightly.

"Has it already evolved?!"

Life within the cocoon begins to awaken. At first, it's just a slight throbbing, like a heart gently beating—the rhythm of life playing out.

Gradually, the commotion grew louder, and the cocoon began to sway, as if an unstoppable force was gathering strength. Finally, a small crack appeared at one end of the cocoon.

A huge tentacle cautiously emerged from the crack, waving gently as if tentatively exploring this unfamiliar world.

Then, a huge insect head slowly emerged, and its body broke free from the cocoon inch by inch.

When it was completely freed from the cocoon, it simply lay there quietly, yet it was still hundreds of meters long. Its wet wings clung tightly to its sides, like two unfurled scrolls.

The butterfly's wings began to dry slowly, and the originally wrinkled wings gradually unfolded, revealing a dazzling array of colorful patterns.

The butterfly gently fluttered its wings, and immediately, a large number of orbs of soul light appeared around it and entered the antennae on the butterfly's head and the wings behind it.

The butterfly flapped its wings again. This time, it did not devour the soul light. Instead, a deep blue light appeared around its golden wings—the light of the soul.

"Eight million."

Nan Fusheng silently counted in his mind that the golden butterfly, from its evolution to the souls it had just devoured again, had accumulated to approximately eight million.

This number is truly terrifying!

At the same time, dark clouds began to gather in the sky, with lightning flashing within them, as if the sky were filled with rage.

"Is it here? The tribulation lightning."

Nan Fusheng glanced around and knew it was the tribulation that was happening when a soul beast broke through. He had been able to cover it up before, but now that there was no cover, the tribulation lightning test that the soul beast would face in the plane was about to begin.

That was when the Dragon God was defeated. In order to prevent soul beasts from becoming gods, the five great god kings of the God Realm joined forces to impose a restriction on the Douluo Plane through the central hub of the God Realm: soul beasts were not allowed to become gods, and they even had to undergo tribulation lightning when they broke through.

This kind of tribulation isn't like the kind in fantasy novels where you benefit from surviving it. It's the kind where surviving it means you continue living, while failing it means you die.

Many high-level soul beasts, even if they survive the tribulation of lightning, suffer damage to their very essence due to the power of the tribulation, leading to their imminent demise.

This command is supreme; even the ruler of a plane cannot interfere with it. Yes, that's how it should be.

However, it seems that some powerful god-king did something. The rule that soul beasts cannot become gods remained unchanged, but he also included human soul masters in the list.

Otherwise, why could the first sea god and the first angel god become gods so easily? In their time, all that was needed was the power of faith; there was no such thing as tribulation lightning.

In this era, becoming a god? Sorry, if you dare to unleash god-level power, the lightning tribulation will instantly kill you.

Nan Fusheng was able to openly display his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power because of his unique characteristics.

As for the others, like Yun Ming, he subconsciously seals his spiritual power to maintain himself at the peak of the Spirit Realm, in order to reduce his confrontation with the plane. Nan Fusheng had only just learned this from Yun Ming's memories.

(ps: It was mentioned in the original work that Yun Ming and Han Hai Douluo Chen Xinjie both possessed the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm, but due to the suppression of the plane, they subconsciously suppressed themselves.)
