Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 213 The Final Step (Please Subscribe!!!)

The battle ended quickly.

Deep within the royal palace, two powerful auras confronted each other. As if sensing the cessation of the battle, their auras gradually subsided.

Mingde Hall acted swiftly; the moment the battle broke out, many guards, led by Jing Hongchen, rushed to the scene.

"Two more were captured alive!"

Jing Hongchen watched as the people from Mingde Hall took away the two evil soul masters whose soul power had been sealed, and he was filled with emotion.

"What are your plans to do with these two?"

Both of them were evil soul masters, and the fact that they were able to cultivate to the level of Title Douluo and even Super Douluo meant that they must have committed a great deal of sins.

The burning and devouring of vengeful spirits during the secret techniques unleashed by the two during tonight's battle alone constitutes an immeasurable sin.

Not to mention their spirit rings.

Even if Nangong Wan is not the best soul ring combination, but a soul ring ratio of one yellow, three purple and five black that exceeds the limit.

As for Feng Ling, needless to say, with her combination of three purple, five black, and one red rings, she must have killed countless innocent people and devoured their souls to raise the age of her soul rings to such an extent.

Jing Hongchen could guess that, given Su Yu's personality, he definitely wouldn't let the two of them live. But when he arrived at the scene and saw that the two of them had been captured alive, he also wanted to know Su Yu's thoughts.

Do these two people have any special value?

"That Nangong Wan is a coward who is afraid of death. By using this trait, we can extract a lot of secrets about the Holy Spirit Cult from him. He controls the Xishui Alliance. Although the Xishui Alliance is only a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult, it is the largest underground force in Mingdu. Even the three largest black markets, he firmly suppresses the other two. Most of the Holy Spirit Cult's operations are definitely coordinated with the Xishui Alliance."

The Nangong Bowl was used to extract information through torture.

As for Fengling?

On one hand, it was to restrain Zhong Liwu, and on the other hand, Su Yu wanted to know other things from her.

Feng Ling might be stubborn and evasive about the Holy Spirit Cult's movements and arrangements, and we might not be able to get anything out of her through interrogation. However, if it's about that person within the Holy Spirit Cult, the chances of getting some clues are quite high.

The Holy Spirit Cult's highest combat power wasn't just Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. If Su Yu remembered correctly, there should also be a Demon Emperor from ten thousand years later during this period. Su Yu couldn't remember what he was called now, he only knew that such a person existed, no, he was a soul beast.

The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is also a Deep Sea Demon Whale with a cultivation of millions of years.

However, Su Yu wasn't sure whether this Demon Emperor actually possessed such a high level of cultivation.

After all, the other party is capable of living for ten thousand years.

However, one thing is certain: the opponent is no weaker than the Evil Emperor.

Otherwise, it would have been virtually impossible for the Holy Spirit Cult to establish its headquarters in the Demon Forest.

"As for Fengling, I would like to ask some rather secretive information about the Holy Spirit Cult."

That Demon Emperor's goal is revenge, so she definitely won't stop exploring the possibility of becoming a god. Su Yu thinks he should be able to get some information from her.

Of course, she might not cooperate. If Su Yu wants to obtain this information about breaking through to level 100, he will probably have to wait until he becomes stronger in the future.

However, all of this is just a precaution.

Su Yu did not believe that he would still be unable to comprehend the mysteries of becoming a god when he reached that level of cultivation.

"After all, I'm about to meet a real god, and a god-king at that."

Su Yu's Nine-Turn Reincarnation Grass is nearing completion of its creation. Nourished by life force, it has grown to approximately 90,000 years old and is ready to undergo its first cycle of life and death at any time, thus completely resurrecting from the dead and becoming a new life form.

Back to Mingde Hall.

"Master, if the Holy Spirit Cult comes to demand their people, just say that the two of them are already dead. Even if we completely turn against them, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Jing Hongchen nodded.

He wasn't worried about being at odds with the Holy Spirit Cult.

After all, the Holy Spirit Cult's strongest fighting force consisted of only two Limit Douluo, and he himself had already reached the fighting power of a Limit Douluo.

If this were before the previous Soul Battle Tournament, with his level 94 soul power and the large number of level 9 soul tools he had created, he was confident that he could defeat Xuanzi within a hundred meters but still die together. Within a thousand meters, he was confident that he could protect himself and leave. Beyond ten thousand meters, if Xuanzi didn't run away, Jing Hongchen could win.

If it were war, Xuanzi would surely be defeated.

The implication is that he and Xuanzi are actually on the same level, but they have different strengths, different focuses, and different outcomes in different situations.

After obtaining and refining the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato from Su Yu, Jing Hongchen's Martial Soul evolved further, and his Soul Power also broke through to Super Douluo, now reaching a Soul Power level of 97.

This kind of advancement pushed his strength to the level of absolute power, putting him on par with Xuanzi.

Not to mention that Jing Hongchen also created his own super battle armor, and at the same time, the other soul tools on his body were also upgraded. With the fusion soul tool technology and the rune system, they are completely compatible with him and can be controlled more easily.

With all these conditions in place, Jing Hongchen definitely possesses the combat power of a Limit Douluo.

At least she's no worse than Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao without their battle armor.

In Su Yu's memory, Limit Douluo could be divided into multiple levels, such as Quasi-demigod, Demigod, and Quasi-god. However, that was a division based on the original work ten thousand years later, and it included the Battle Armor system.

In this era before the advent of battle armor, reaching the level of a demigod through one's own strength in the Limit Douluo realm is already considered monstrous.

Jing Hongchen absolutely possesses this level of deterrent power at this moment.

That's why Su Yu felt that Jing Hongchen possessed power no less than Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.

"Ask whatever you want. I'll send someone to interrogate them for more information once you come out."

Jing Hongchen noticed that Su Yu had some questions and wanted to talk to Feng Ling, so she didn't stop him.

Su Yu entered the prison and arrived at the cell where Feng Ling was being held.

"Hmph, don't even think about getting any information about the Holy Church out of me. You might as well give up on that idea."

Upon meeting, Feng Ling's words made Su Yu shake his head.

If this woman hadn't been interested in that Demon Emperor, he wouldn't have held back during the battle just now.

Feng Ling was the vice leader and the leader's wife. She should have been able to come into contact with someone at the level of the Demon Emperor, which is why Su Yu spared her life at the time.

Judging from Feng Ling's attitude now, Su Yu had already sentenced this woman to death in his mind.

"I am not interested in the ambitions of the Holy Spirit Church."

"Oh?" Feng Ling clearly didn't believe Su Yu's words.

"I just want to know about the Demon Emperor in your Holy Church."

"The Demon Emperor?"

Feng Ling looked completely bewildered, not understanding what Su Yu was talking about.

"There should be someone in your sect whose strength is no less than Ye Xishui's, such a person should exist."

After hearing Su Yu's explanation, Feng Ling's blank expression changed slightly, clearly indicating that she had thought of that person's existence.

"How do you know about the Holy Emperor's existence?" Feng Ling asked warily.

However, she soon had another question.

If Su Yu truly understood the Holy Spirit Cult, he should know the Holy Emperor's name, rather than simply knowing of the other party's existence without knowing his title.

After all, the name Holy Emperor is part of the Holy Spirit Cult's doctrines.

However, Su Yu only knew of this one person's existence, but not of any other information about him.

"Tell me all the information about this Holy Emperor."

Holy Emperor? Su Yu quickly accepted the title of Demon Emperor, knowing that this must be the Demon Emperor, and asked Feng Ling about the Holy Emperor.

"Hmph, why should I tell you?"

Su Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "The Holy Emperor is just a soul beast, and his relationship with your Holy Spirit Cult is merely one of cooperation. You're unwilling to even reveal this much information?"

Su Yu called out to Elder Yi in the sea of ​​his spirit.

"Mr. Yi, thank you for your trouble."

"In that case, you have no value in living."

When Elder Yi appeared next to Su Yu, Feng Ling saw the spiritual form of Elder Yi and assumed it was another hidden soul of Su Yu, so she immediately became wary.

However, her soul power had been completely suppressed, leaving her utterly powerless to resist.

As Elder Yi chanted numerous incantations, Su Yu sensed a strange fluctuation in the surrounding world.

"Time travel!"

It's not the ability to rewind time; it's just an ability called that, used to view a certain segment of a soul's memories.

Su Yu brought up the Holy Emperor, and Feng Ling had just been thinking about information about the Holy Emperor, so this should make it easier to find those memories.

A strange power surged through her, filling Feng Ling with immense fear.

This is a sense of dread that comes from the depths of one's soul.

Before the Scourge Elex, her soul was completely out of control, detaching directly from her body and forcibly torn apart, as if something had forced its way in, relentlessly probing the secrets deep within her soul.

Elder Yi moved swiftly, and without spending much time investigating, he quickly obtained the general information and stopped casting the spell.

Su Yu casually ignited a purifying fire with his life force, burning Feng Ling's soul into nothingness.

At the same time, the purifying fire burned Feng Ling to ashes.

"That Holy Emperor might have some discrepancies with the information you have," Electrox said, summarizing the information he had gleaned from Feng Ling's soul.

"Oh?"

"The Holy Emperor is indeed a soul beast, and a soul beast from the deep sea. She has profound cultivation, but she has not reached the level of nearly a million years of cultivation. According to what Feng Ling knows, her level of cultivation is probably around 800,000."

Only 800,000 years?

Su Yu frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Isn't it a million years?

"The Holy Emperor and the Holy Spirit Cult do have connections, but he rarely directly controls the internal affairs of the Holy Spirit Cult. They simply cooperate. The last time the Holy Emperor cooperated with the Holy Spirit Cult was a hundred years ago, when he helped the Holy Spirit Cult establish its headquarters deep in the Demon Forest. After that, he had no further contact with the Holy Spirit Cult."

"Elder, is there a place for the Holy Spirit Church's main altar?"

"Yes." Electrolux sent the location to Su Yu in the form of mental energy.

"When we have time later, we can go to the Demon Forest and take down the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold."

Fighting between the Sun Moon Empire and the Mingde Hall?

Keep fighting, and your family will be gone in the end.

Of course, Su Yu would only make a move after confirming that Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were no longer in the Demon Forest.

There's no rush right now.

Su Yu noted down the connection between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Holy Emperor, then left the prison.

As for the Nangong bowl?

Just leave it to the professionals at Mingdetang.

They're inherently spineless, so interrogating them won't be too difficult. Handing them over to professionals will allow for a more comprehensive and extensive understanding of the information.

"Now, the Soul Fighting Tournament and the Soul Master Tournament have come to a complete end."

Su Yu returned to his dormitory and felt slightly relaxed.

With the Soul Fighting Tournament and the Soul Master Tournament over, Su Yu will once again devote himself to cultivation.

"The Nine-Turn Reincarnation Grass is about to undergo its first cycle of life and death."

Su Yu took out the Necromancer's Sacred Soul Grass, which was about to undergo a metamorphosis, and actively activated his life force to help it absorb life force.

royalty.

Despite the great battle, the royal family remained unaffected.

However, the atmosphere within the royal family was quite different.

"Does this Mirror of Mortals still see me, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, in his eyes?"

Xu Tianran had already thrown many of the flower vases off the table, and even the memorials on the table were scattered everywhere.

The problem he realized during the Soul Fighting Tournament—the Holy Spirit Cult's deep infiltration of the Sun Moon Empire—has been giving him a headache lately, and he has already begun a covert investigation and planning.

However, at this time, Mingdetang's actions forced him to pay attention to another issue.

The power of Mingdetang is somewhat excessive.

Moreover, Xu Tianran felt that the power of Mingdetang was beyond his control.

Although the royal family's position showed no signs of wavering, Xu Tianran was a person with an extremely strong desire for personal control. He wanted to control things himself, rather than the royal family having any control over Mingde Hall.

"Your Majesty need not worry. Haven't you already planned to let the Mingde Hall and the Holy Spirit Church weaken each other?"

Orange picked up the memorials one by one and arranged them neatly, then offered words of comfort.

"In fact, with the strength of my Sun Moon Empire, the reliance on Mingde Hall and Holy Spirit Cult is not that heavy when attacking the Douluo Three Kingdoms. My Sun Moon army is enough to crush the three kingdoms. As long as we can persuade Elder Kong, the ninth-level soul masters of the Hall of Worship will take action to deal with Shrek's obstruction, which will be more than enough."

Xu Tianran took a deep breath, lay in his wheelchair, looked up at the ceiling, and his sharp gaze gradually turned fierce.

"Yuhao has already begun to try to condense a soul core. With his understanding, it shouldn't take too long."

"We will not consider exchanging soul bones with Shrek Academy for the time being."

It's not that Mingdetang doesn't lack soul bones now, but rather that its need for them isn't as urgent.

Imprisoning these Shrek Academy prodigies at this moment, thus delaying their cultivation progress, would be the biggest blow to Shrek Academy. There is no rush to make a deal.

"I'm only one step away from the fourth test of the God of Life. I don't know if I'll be able to enter the God Realm and meet the God of Life directly after I complete it, or if I'll have a chance to see Destruction."

Su Yu pulled himself out of his thoughts, took the Necromancer's Soul Grass and left Mingdu, arriving at a remote, uninhabited area where he released it.

A grayish-white Necromancer's Soul Grass, only as tall as a person, radiates a spiritual light. A glimmer of light is being nurtured deep within its spiritual essence, seemingly about to fully develop into intelligence.

A large amount of life force surged from Su Yu's brow and merged into the Necromancer's Sacred Soul Grass.

That's equivalent to starting to improve one's cultivation level again after 9,900 years.

Soon, his cultivation level reached a critical point.

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years!

Su Yu continued to inject life force, and the barrier was easily broken through.

Furthermore, after breaking through this barrier, the Necromancer's Holy Soul Grass's cultivation level suddenly increased by several hundred years.

At the same time, the spiritual essence of the Necromancer's Sacred Soul Grass was instantly concentrated and condensed.

A new intelligence has been born!

As the spirit was born, the entire Necromancer's Sacred Soul Grass was surrounded by a rich interplay of life and death energy, constantly rotating and forming mysterious patterns. With the birth of the spirit, it was completely integrated into the Necromancer's Sacred Soul Grass.

The grayish-white Necromancer's Soul Grass also began to transform amidst the cycle of life and death.
