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

Chapter 605 Fighting from Afar

"Soul replacement?"

Gu Yuena murmured softly, her voice filled with disbelief and deep shock.

As we all know, once a soul spirit is fused, it becomes closely connected with the soul master's martial soul, becoming an inseparable part of it, and in principle, it can never be replaced.

If a Soul Master loses the Soul Spirit that generates Soul Skills, not only will the Soul Master suffer severe mental trauma, but the power of the corresponding Soul Skills will also be greatly reduced or even completely disappeared, significantly diminishing the Soul Master's strength.

Moreover, the mental damage caused by losing one's soul is often irreversible and will have a profound impact on the soul master's life.

But Nan Fusheng's current situation is undoubtedly much more complicated. He hasn't lost his soul; rather, it has been replaced by someone in an extremely secretive and bizarre way!

Yes, his soul was quietly replaced by some mysterious entity.

This is undoubtedly a chilling and fantastical thing.

After all, since the birth of the Soul Contract, there has never been a precedent on the Douluo Continent of being able to replace a Soul.

Otherwise, those who fused with weak soul spirits in the early stages of Soul Master cultivation would probably have long since abandoned those weak soul spirits after their strength increased, and instead sought out stronger soul spirits to enhance their own power.

"Fusheng said that it took him three days to absorb his seventh spirit ring. After he finished absorbing it, his spirit power jumped to level eighty. At the same time, his memories of those three days became blurry."

Gu Yuena sat quietly to one side, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the table. Her gaze was deep and sharp, and her mind was like a sophisticated instrument, rapidly integrating and analyzing the information she had gathered.

"So, in those three days, someone replaced his soul." After careful consideration, Gu Yuena came to this shocking conclusion.

Replace the spirit!

These four words alone were enough to shock the entire Douluo Continent. They even had an unavoidable impact on the soul contracts of the Spirit Pagoda.

Although Gu Yuena, as a rebuilt Silver Dragon King, could theoretically do something similar, it would undoubtedly require her to mobilize the sealed divine power, and the process would be difficult, complicated, and extremely risky.

As far as she knew, there should no longer be any god-level powerhouses in the Douluo Continent today.

Oh, that's not right either. Gu Yuena suddenly remembered that the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, the two powerful beast kings located in the Beast Platform, did possess god-level power.

However, after a moment's thought, she ruled out any connection between the two and Nan Fusheng. These two men were always reclusive and had no interaction with Nan Fusheng's life; they were clearly unrelated.

This makes the problem even more complicated. Who on earth has such powerful abilities to replace Nan Fusheng's soul without anyone noticing?

Why would the other party go to such lengths? Gu Yuena's mind raced through various possibilities, but she couldn't find a reasonable answer.

"Fors must know about this!"

It was Fors who told Nan Fusheng not to break through to level 70 so quickly. It was also Fors who later had someone take Nan Fusheng to a specific place to absorb his seventh spirit ring.

It's impossible to say the other party was completely unaware. However, why Fors did such a thing, and what role she played in this matter, are questions that Gu Yuena needs to consider.

"Gu Yue?" Just as Gu Yuena was lost in thought, Nan Fusheng called out to her softly. His voice carried a hint of doubt and concern, clearly indicating that he had noticed Gu Yuena's unusual behavior.

"It's alright, let me take a look first." Gu Yuena quickly composed herself, a gentle smile appearing on her face, trying to reassure Nan Fusheng.

Regardless of how complex and dangerous the actual situation might be, Nan Fusheng was clearly unaware of what Fors had done to him. To avoid hurting Nan Fusheng's feelings, Gu Yuena decided to temporarily bury her speculations deep in her heart.

Everything will have to wait until she has thoroughly examined Nan Fusheng's condition before deciding whether or not to tell him, based on the specific circumstances.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and maximized her perception to carefully sense the unique fluctuations and aura of the seven spirit rings on Nan Fusheng's body.

However, to her surprise, the mysterious and powerful life energy emanating from Nan Fusheng seemed to be continuously emanating from his fifth green-gold soul ring.

That green-gold soul ring was like a mysterious source of life, continuously releasing life energy of the purest degree.

These energies, like agile spirits, quietly merged into Nan Fusheng's body, as if subtly transforming his physique.

What's even more amazing is that the life energy gave Gu Yuena a vague sense of déjà vu, but she couldn't remember where she had felt it before.

Conversely, Nan Fusheng's seventh spirit ring, that purplish-black spirit ring, gave off a completely different feeling. It was like an abyss filled with destructive power, containing immense and terrifying energy that inspired awe.

This spirit ring is the most powerful of Nan Fusheng's seven spirit rings, seemingly poised to explode at any moment and turn everything to dust.

"Take a look at this first."

Gu Yuena pondered in her heart. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to first inject her soul power into the green-gold soul ring, while simultaneously circulating her powerful spiritual energy and carefully probing into it.

Since someone went to great lengths to replace Nan Fusheng's soul, she wanted to see what secrets this mysterious soul held.

The destructive power contained in the purplish-black soul ring is too great. Once it is stimulated, it is very likely to cause irreparable damage to Nan Fusheng.

She didn't know much about the other spirit rings either, and after thinking it over, she felt that this spirit ring, which was full of life energy, was relatively safer.

"Buzz—"

However, the moment Gu Yuena's spiritual power touched the green-gold spirit ring, the spirit ring seemed to be completely enraged, suddenly emitting a brilliant light. The light was intense and dazzling, as if issuing a strong warning to Gu Yuena.

At the same time, a strange yet incredibly powerful spiritual force, like an ancient beast awakening, suddenly erupted from that spirit ring, instantly repelling Gu Yuena's spiritual force.

"You're courting death." A childish yet chilling voice exploded in Gu Yuena's mind like a thunderclap.

"Buzzing—"

As if summoned by some kind of signal, the other six spirit rings also seemed to sense the anomaly and began to shine brightly as well.

In an instant, the soul power that Gu Yuena had previously injected was driven out as if by an invisible force.

Then, several powerful mental signals, like sharp daggers, emanated from these spirit rings and slammed into Gu Yuena's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Not good." Gu Yuena's pupils contracted instantly, and she felt a sense of foreboding. She quickly redirected her mental energy, trying to defend herself, but everything happened too suddenly, and she was clearly a step too slow.

"boom--"

Several mental signals, like heavy bombs, slammed into Gu Yuena's mental sea, creating a raging storm. Gu Yuena felt as if her head was about to explode; a sharp pain nearly made her collapse.

"snort."

Gu Yuena let out a muffled groan, her body swaying slightly involuntarily. Fortunately, thanks to her powerful mental strength gained from her rebirth as the Silver Dragon King, she managed to pull through.

"Such powerful mental strength, and there's more than one of them."

A look of shock appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes. She knew that this was because she was a reincarnation of the Silver Dragon King. Although her cultivation was currently sealed, her spiritual sea was still incredibly powerful and had not been affected by the seal.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary Soul Master with only the Spirit Domain Realm in terms of spiritual power, or even a peak Spirit Domain Realm expert, their spiritual sea would probably be shattered and reduced to nothingness in an instant when faced with those few mental attacks that were like a storm.

Once a Soul Master's spiritual sea is shattered, the consequences are unimaginable. Even if they miraculously survive, they will likely spend the rest of their lives in a daze, becoming a mindless living dead.

"It seems that Fusheng's secrets are far more complicated than I imagined." Gu Yuena's delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, her worries growing stronger.

"Those spiritual thoughts just now, there is no doubt that it was the soul within Fusheng that made the move. I even sensed the spiritual power of a Divine Origin Realm expert within them."

This level of mental strength is probably no weaker than that of Di Tian.

If the opponent is so powerful, why would they transform into a spirit and parasitize Fusheng? What unknown secrets and purposes are hidden behind this?

Gu Yuena's thoughts became increasingly chaotic, and the situation surrounding Nan Fusheng was becoming more and more complicated and unpredictable.

But this might not be a good thing for Nan Fusheng. Complex secrets are often accompanied by great dangers; a slight misstep could plunge him into an abyss of no return.

Just then, the green-gold soul ring shone brightly again, and a stream of light shot out like lightning, instantly striking Nan Fusheng between the eyebrows.

Then, Nan Fusheng's pupils began to dilate, his eyes became empty and lifeless, and his body slumped down on the sofa.

"Fu Sheng!"

Gu Yuena exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry. She immediately reached out and steadily supported Nan Fusheng's body. Then, she gently placed her delicate hand on Nan Fusheng's forehead and used her soul power and spiritual power to carefully examine his physical condition.

"Phew, thank goodness, he just fainted."

After a moment, Gu Yuena let out a long sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxing slightly. However, her expression became even more solemn. A soul attacking its host was something she had never heard of before.

This also means that the mystery surrounding Nan Fusheng is far deeper and more dangerous than she had previously imagined.

The next second, Gu Yuena's expression changed, and she quickly bent down and steadily picked up Nan Fusheng.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of silver light appeared around them, and powerful spatial forces instantly enveloped the two of them, attempting to escape using their teleportation abilities.

"Snap—"

Just as their figures were about to disappear, a verdant vine, like a green lightning bolt, suddenly shot out from the void at an astonishing speed.

It came with a series of sharp sonic booms, like a whistling cannonball, and slammed hard into the spot where Gu Yuena had been standing.

The immense impact caused the surrounding air to vibrate, and a deep crack was smashed into the ground, demonstrating the incredible power of the vines.

"snort!"

After Gu Yuena teleported away, a childish yet furious snort suddenly echoed from the void. Immediately afterward, invisible ripples began to spread rapidly in all directions in a strange manner.

These ripples, like the ripples on a calm lake after a boulder is thrown in, constantly disrupt the surrounding spatial fluctuations, making the entire space distorted and unstable.

Amidst the flashing silver light, Gu Yuena, holding Nan Fusheng's body, suddenly appeared in another corner of the living room like a ghost.

However, before she could even catch her breath, her heart sank, and she muttered to herself, "This is troublesome."

She thought she could temporarily escape her predicament by teleporting, but she never expected the other party to react so quickly and sharply.

With her astonishingly powerful cultivation, the opponent easily disrupted the surrounding space, greatly limiting her teleportation ability and making it extremely difficult for her to teleport away again.

The emerald green vines, as if they had caught the scent of their prey, attacked Gu Yuena like hungry beasts the instant she appeared.

These vines, like nimble snakes, twisted and turned wildly in the air, aiming directly at Gu Yuena, each attack carrying a deadly threat.

Gu Yuena's eyes sharpened, and with a wave of her right hand, eight spirit rings—seven black and one red—instantly appeared, surrounding her and radiating a mysterious and powerful light. The spirit rings on her body shimmered and intertwined, like stars dancing in the night sky.

At the same time, a slender elemental staff appeared in her hand, engraved with ancient and mysterious runes, exuding a faint elemental aura.

Then, Gu Yuena raised her staff high, and her aura suddenly surged.

Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space—the seven elements seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force, instantly appearing in a tangible form around her.

These elements, like nimble sprites, swirled violently around the gem at the top of her staff, instantly forming a huge, colorful vortex.

As Gu Yuena pointed her staff forward, the Seven Elements Vortex, like a roaring beast, instantly enveloped the vines in front of her, relentlessly pulling and pulverizing them. The elemental power within the vortex continuously eroded the vines, attempting to reduce them to nothingness.

However, to Gu Yuena's great surprise, the emerald green vines showed incredible tenacity in the face of her carefully crafted seven-element vortex.

They seem to possess innate elemental resistance, completely ignoring powerful attacks such as the raging fire, the sharp cutting of the wind, and the corrosive influence of darkness.

These vines, instead of being damaged by the attacks of the seven elements, appeared even more vibrant.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, a green-gold light flashed on the emerald green vines. This light was mysterious and eerie, as if it contained some ancient and powerful force.

The next moment, a terrifying suction force erupted from the vines, like a bottomless black hole, which gradually devoured the elemental vortex composed of the seven elements.

The originally powerful elemental forces were utterly powerless against this suction force, and were easily swallowed up. Nourished by the elemental vortex, the vines grew stronger and more powerful.

They continued their ferocious attack on Gu Yuena, their assault even more intense than before. Their menacing appearance suggested they intended to completely crush her.
