Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start

Chapter 118 Crimson Gold Energy

"Now that it's been discovered, the divine attribute can be removed!"

With a cold laugh, the originally golden-red holy flames instantly turned into gray flames. This was the evil flame, whose destructive power was not as great as the holy eye, but its effect on devouring soul power was extremely strong.

Not only that, countless gray-black lightning balls began to appear in the sky, turning into rolling thunderclouds, and thick lightning pillars bombarded the deep-sea demon whale king below.

The speed at which Zhou Tian Domain absorbed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul power also suddenly increased several times. Strands of soul power were continuously drawn from his body, transforming into countless blue-purple light bands that were absorbed by the barriers of the domain world and then fed back into Li Fei's body.

As streams of soul power flowed into his body, Li Fei controlled them to continuously cleanse his acupoints, causing them to open one by one.

Li Fei's cultivation has reached the point of being indestructible even when facing gods. Even if the soul power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King were to flood into his body, he could control it perfectly, and there was no possibility of it bursting.

"No, I have to break through this barrier. This can't go on; I'll be drained dry by this kid sooner or later!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes were filled with solemnity. He felt his soul power draining away at several times the speed before. He hurriedly tried to control his soul power, but under the bombardment of the Dark Demon Thunder, each strike caused his soul power to vibrate, and then his soul power was absorbed by the Zhou Tian Domain.

It understood that Li Fei was forcing it to transform into human form. Its original body was too large. Even if it had transformed into a dragon and was agile, it would be difficult to dodge the lightning at such speed. Basically, every bolt of evil lightning could shatter the iron-like soul power condensed in its body and then be absorbed by the evil power that had filled the entire Zhou Tian domain, transforming it into pure power that Li Fei could absorb.

The Demon Whale Domain continued to expand and erupt, with various pillars of soul power constantly blasting towards the surrounding Zhou Tian Barrier. However, each time, they were blocked by the flame barrier formed by the evil fire. Occasionally, a pillar of light would break through the barrier, but its attack power was no longer enough to break through the barrier of the Zhou Tian Domain.

"Um!"

Another thick bolt of dark demonic lightning struck the Dark Demon God Tiger, causing it to snort coldly and look at Li Fei in the air. Its massive body tried to charge forward, but the Zhou Tian Domain was centered on Li Fei. Although it could use the Demon Whale Domain to offset the suppressive effect of the Zhou Tian Domain and unleash powerful soul power, it could not get close to Li Fei, who was at the center of the domain.

No matter how his massive body moved, Li Fei maintained a safe distance from him and used the power of evil fire to continuously weaken him.

"What kind of human is this? I, in my dragon form, am able to withstand millions of years of accumulated power. After absorbing so much of my power, he not only shows no discomfort, but continues to grow stronger."

Seeing Li Fei's increasing strength, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes grew increasingly solemn. With a gritted tooth, the blue-purple light swirling around its body began to converge and transform into a huge vortex, continuously compressing soul power around its body.

"Am I finally going to take human form?!"

Li Fei has waited too long. The strength of the sea spirit beast that has transformed into human form will decrease by at least half. Even if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength decreases only slightly due to its millions of years of accumulation, it is enough for Li Fei now.

"Platinum Halberd!"

However, Li Fei could not allow the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to transform into human form so easily. He stretched his hand into the air, and the soul power within the entire Zhou Tian Domain gathered in Li Fei's hand. The platinum-gold light transformed into a white halberd.

"go!"

The platinum halberd transformed into a streak of light and plunged directly into the enormous vortex formed by the massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"boom!"

A hundred-meter-high white-gold mushroom cloud rose up, with white arcs of electricity flashing continuously, spreading throughout the world, and shockwaves sweeping outwards in all directions.

"Damn it!"

A roar of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King echoed from within the mushroom cloud, followed by a blue-purple pillar of soul power that shot into the sky, tearing apart the platinum mushroom cloud. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's human form was revealed, wielding two octagonal plum blossom hammers and glaring at Li Fei.

However, he looked rather miserable at the moment. His deep purple armor, which was formed from energy, was mostly broken, and blue-purple blood could be seen constantly oozing from the wounds on his body.

"I'm going to kill you!"

He swung the deep purple octagonal plum blossom hammer back and forth, transforming into a deep purple streak of light as he rushed towards Li Fei.

"I've been waiting for you to take human form for a long time!"

Li Fei was not afraid at all; in fact, he had been waiting for this for a long time. White lightning coiled around the golden trident, and he charged forward.

The golden trident and the octagonal plum blossom hammer clashed repeatedly, and the platinum lightning and the blue-purple lightning also began to collide. The white lightning, which perfectly fused the three attributes of gold, fire, and thunder, instantly tore apart the blue-purple lightning formed by the water and thunder attributes.

"His lightning is my weakness, and his combat skills are superior to mine!"

The battle between the two made the Deep Sea Demon Whale King feel extremely frustrated. The white lightning was scorching hot and steaming, tearing through the water mines on his body with each strike, constantly dazzling with terrifying high temperatures. Moreover, Li Fei's combat skills were extremely strong, and the advantage of his long-handled weapon made him frequently leave large holes in his body. Most importantly, there was a difference in weapons. Although his octagonal plum blossom hammer had reached the level of a semi-divine artifact, it was no match for the divine artifact, the Trident of the Sea God, in any aspect.

However, he was not someone to be trifled with. During the battle, just like in the original story, he continuously laid his water mines throughout the entire Zhou Tian Domain, quickly filling the entire space.

"Indeed insidious, but not very useful!"

"Ring explosion!"

Li Fei sneered, and the first four of his eight spirit rings exploded instantly. Spirit power, as if it were tangible, erupted from Li Fei's body, even distorting space. White lightning flashed continuously, turning the entire domain into daylight.

"Die!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sensed something was wrong, and his face flashed with killing intent. He stretched out his right hand towards Li Fei, and the lightning balls hidden in the air instantly appeared, shooting towards Li Fei from all directions. However, they had no effect whatsoever in the face of the soul power that was so tangible that it could distort space.

Countless blue-purple lightning bolts were deflected to the side by the distorted space when they reached Li Fei, and could not touch him at all.

"The Five Elements Reversal!!"

Li Fei shouted loudly, and the power of the five elements manifested. Based on the principle of mutual restraint among the five elements, they collided with each other continuously. Streams of black light representing destruction began to flash continuously, and like flowing water, they wrapped around the Trident of the Sea God.

"Die!"

He hurled the Trident of Poseidon with all his might, and to the incredulous gaze of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the black streak of light pierced through his chest at an unimaginable speed. He looked down at the wound that was shrouded in black light.

She looked up at Li Fei and said, "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King reverted to its original form and plummeted from the sky.

Li Fei did not retract his Zhou Tian Domain. He intended to use the domain to completely absorb the nearly one million years of accumulated power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and transform it into his own.

After the Deep Sea Demon Whale King landed, a red object with nine golden patterns appeared, and at the same time, powerful soul energy emanated from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body.

A bluish-purple torso bone slowly floated out from the body.

Seeing all this, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King still had most of its soul remaining, it was truly dead.

After throwing the Demon Set and Dark Demon Halberd onto the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Li Fei sat down cross-legged. He began to activate his Zhou Tian Domain to continuously absorb the dissipated soul power, while simultaneously drawing the soul ring to absorb it as well. Waves of murderous and violent power surged into his body, attempting to influence Li Fei's mind and body.

However, Li Fei, who was in the realm of fetal breathing and seeing the indestructible spirit, was completely unaffected by external forces. As soon as these soul forces entered his body, they became extremely docile and were easily absorbed.

Moreover, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King possessed immense energy, and the excess power was absorbed by Li Fei's blood and soul rings under his control, continuously transforming into the power of his blood and energy, which also allowed his blood and energy to make significant progress.

Suddenly, the skeleton of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Li Fei, attempting to merge into his body. However, a blood-red armor appeared around him, blocking the soul bone and preventing it from advancing even an inch.

"Trying to launch a sneak attack? Too bad I was prepared!"

Li Fei sneered, closed his eyes, and continued refining the soul ring. In his spiritual sea, a part of the remnant soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King kept attacking Li Fei, but it had no effect. Instead, it consumed energy with each impact, turning into spiritual power that was absorbed by Li Fei.

The light of awakening emanated from his body once again, this time a purple-gold radiance. This was the second awakening and evolution of his martial soul. With this awakening, Li Fei felt his original martial soul disappearing, or rather, completely merging into his body.

Previously, Li Fei needed to possess his original martial soul to fully unleash its power, but after the martial soul was completely fused, he no longer needed to. With a thought, the soul ring would appear, and his soul power would flow more smoothly.

Because a martial spirit is a manifestation of a part of a person's soul, as the martial spirit merges into the body, the spirit and blood become one, becoming pure yang, with an extremely agile mind, uncanny foresight, and a special premonition of danger.

This also means that Li Fei's body has finally been specially made for a Martial Saint in the Human Immortal Martial Arts.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Fei also used the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to begin condensing his third soul core. With the experience from last time, the condensation of the blood and qi soul core went very smoothly. However, there was a problem now: his spirit and soul power had merged, and his soul power and blood and qi had merged, but his spirit and blood and qi had not fully merged.

This also resulted in Li Fei's purple-gold awakening not being successful, and his martial soul was only one step away from being fully integrated into his body.

At this moment, Li Fei did something crazy. He unleashed his full mental power and actually drew his spiritual core and blood essence core from his upper and lower dantian and into his middle dantian along the meridians.

The three completely unrelated soul cores began to collide continuously. The three forces were constantly recombine, baptized, and condensed. Slowly, streams of crimson-gold energy appeared at the junction of the three soul cores. As this energy appeared, it began to frantically devour the surrounding soul power, spiritual power, and blood energy, and rapidly flowed along the meridians.

With the appearance of this special crimson-gold power, the final step of the martial soul merging into the body was completely completed. After the martial soul awakening disappeared, Li Fei quickly sent his spirit, blood, and soul core back into his body.

In this way, the nearly one million years of foundation of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was absorbed by Li Fei's body, soul power, soul rings, and blood essence. With the absorption of the hundred-year soul ring, the ninth blood essence soul ring was also successfully condensed.

"My soul power and blood energy have all reached level ninety-seven, all my soul rings have evolved to 100,000 years, and my physical strength has long exceeded one million jin, reaching a terrifying six million. I feel that even a god could fight me now!"

"Most importantly, with the help of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, I actually opened up thirty acupoints. I only managed to open three after two years of cultivation using the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Its power is truly formidable!"

The acupoints are precisely the source of Li Fei's confidence to absorb the entire power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Currently, the soul power within the thirty-three acupoints is equivalent to that of a Title Douluo, meaning that Li Fei now has thirty-three reserve soul power reserves.

Moreover, with the opening of the acupoints, they brought many unexpected effects. Almost all the acupoints that Li Fei has opened are in his limbs, making his limbs more flexible, his strength as great as a mountain, and his speed as fast as a ghost.

He captured the whale glue and whale pearls floating in the area and threw them into his storage bracelet along with the soul bone.

"Unfortunately, ninety-nine percent of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body had already been completely energized, and I refined it using my Zhou Tian Domain!"

Looking at the completely vanished body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Li Fei also felt regretful. If it were entirely flesh and blood, its bones and skin would definitely be the best material for refining soul tools.

At this moment, Li Fei was also filled with doubt. His body was almost completely energized, and his heart and brain were no longer fatal weaknesses. So how could he have been killed by a nine-shot explosion of Bodhi Blood? You should know that he had used the destructive power generated by the mutual restraint of the five elements and the power of the Trident of the Sea God to successfully kill it.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

"Once I get back, I'll study this new power carefully!"

A ball of crimson energy appeared in Li Fei's hand, constantly changing into various shapes. This energy possessed the characteristics of soul power, blood and qi, and spiritual power. He felt that it was no weaker than the power of the sea god he had seen before.

He also retrieved the Demon Set and the Dark Demon Halberd. After examining them, he noticed that they had absorbed a large amount of energy from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and had grown to the level of a ninth-grade soul tool. However, their functions were still limited and not as advanced as the various soul tools from the peerless era.
