Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 124 Nine Realms Gate

"A soul beast?"

Tang Jun immediately recognized Da Ming and Er Ming's true identities, and his face darkened instantly. Everyone knew that the soul beasts were now very close to Wan Ye's side. Although humans and soul beasts had been at peace for a hundred years, they were undoubtedly still adversaries.

Bai Xu turned around and saw that the humanoid figure that Er Ming had transformed into was tall and mighty, with solid muscles, like a majestic mountain. The sunlight cast a shadow that completely enveloped Bai Xu, seemingly bringing great pressure.

"You dare to come again?"

Bai Xu instantly activated his divine power, his entire body enveloped in green flames, as dazzling as before.

Erming didn't care about Bai Xu and Tang Jun's attitude and chuckled softly, "Kid, you have good taste and a lot of guts."

An invisible pressure spread rapidly like a surging tide, locking the area tightly. Centered on the Sea God Pavilion, the standoff between the two sides made the air increasingly stagnant.

Soon, Erming sensed something was wrong and said with slight surprise, "A magic field?"

"Alright, this is Shrek Academy, don't be rude." Da Ming waved his hand to stop Er Ming's oppressive aura, his expression slightly solemn, his gaze sweeping over Bai Xu and Tang Jun.

These two were very strange; they saw through their disguises at a glance and looked directly at their true forms. Although their disguises were incredibly sophisticated, even Limit Douluo would have difficulty detecting them, but these two children saw through everything so easily, which was unbelievable.

Tang Jun's face darkened, his brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over the Shrek Seven Devils. His tone was cold: "What do you mean by this?"

The scene before them seemed to instantly transform into a power struggle, with the Shrek Seven Devils appearing to be colluding with soul beasts in an attempt to control everything.

"It's not what you think. Your two uncles are indeed soul beasts, but they are not of the same lineage as Xingdou," Tang Wulin explained.

Tang Jun waved his hand, interrupting him: "That's enough, explain why you're here."

Tang Wulin was silent for a moment, then said, "We want the Tree of Life to sprout again and become the foundation of Shrek Academy once more."

As he finished speaking, Tang Wulin took out a green, crystalline seed from his pocket. The seed's surface shimmered with a faint light, seemingly containing the power of nature.

When Shrek Academy suffered a great calamity, it was the power of the Ancient Tree of Life that saved countless people. Although it ultimately failed to stop the evil spirit masters, it was like a pillar of stability for Shrek Academy.

"The current Sea God Lake is a misnomer. Its shores are barren and devoid of any life, making it unsuitable for cultivation. I intend to replant the Ancient Tree of Life in the Sea God Lake. When it grows and evolves into the Golden Ancient Tree, it will only become more powerful than before." Tang Wulin's face was full of sincerity, his tone low yet brimming with hope.

"It's a shame you even have this thought, but there's no need for that."

!!!

These words shocked the Seven Devils, who immediately questioned, "Are you truly the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion? Is this how you inherited the last wishes of Sky-Supporting Douluo and Holy Spirit Douluo?"

Tang Jun paced back and forth, then sat down in the main seat and said, "On the day my master fell, he appointed me as the next head of the Sea God Pavilion. Since the destruction of Shrek Academy, I have been mindful of potential dangers and have rebuilt the academy. However, the changes in all industries have affected the entire world, causing turmoil in the Federation and the gradual decline of the Soul Master system. I intend to reform the system. Shrek Academy will soon be renamed the Nine Realms Gate, widely accepting disciples and teaching supernatural abilities rather than soul power."

"What do you mean?" Tang Wulin's expression changed.

"Don't you understand yet? Soul Masters are already outdated. Now it's the era of Seekers of the Law. Those with supernatural powers of causality roam the world. The Vice Pavilion Master and I are already Seekers of the Law. I once heard that the Vice Pavilion Master was at the same level as you. You must have witnessed his strength when you were young, so I don't need to elaborate."

"A seeker of the Dharma?"

Everyone was puzzled. Although they had doubts in their hearts, their eyes subconsciously glanced at Bai Xu, as if they had found some unspoken answer in him. Bai Xu was indeed incredibly strong in his childhood, not the kind of strength that Soul Masters have that leans towards forceful or agile attacks, but strength in all aspects.

The changes in all industries have only taken a few years, and the Federation is still unable to grasp the new cultivation system, how to cultivate magic power, and how to make Dharma bodies, talismans, and magic treasures. Most people are still just groping around like headless flies.

After a long silence, Tang Wulin slowly raised his head, looked directly at the two people in the main seat, and said firmly, "No matter how times change, Shrek Academy cannot be reformed, much less become some kind of Nine-Level Sect, and I will always be a Soul Master."

"We are too," the Seven Devils chimed in.

This sight made Tang Jun's lips curl into a slight smile, as if he had expected it. He slowly said, "Playing around with you to pass the time is fine, but how about we play something you're best at? Let's have a competition, one-on-one. If the seven of you can prove the superiority of Soul Masters over Seekers of the Law, I will allow you to plant the Tree of Life and promise that Shrek Academy will not change its structure. How about it?"

"Can."

"Please come to the next room."

Abyss Plane

The gray world stretched as far as the eye could see, shrouded in mist, with the distant sky seemingly endless.

The Demon Queen finally fulfilled her long-cherished wish, arriving at the Abyss and witnessing a divine miracle. She was shrouded in a black cloak, and a layer of black energy emanated from her body, repelling the gray outside.

"You've finally arrived," a weary voice echoed from the depths of the gray world.

"I need power. I also know that you need help. Without your guidance, I could not have come here." The Demon Emperor slowly raised his head, and two beams of purple light shot out from beneath his black cloak.

Her voice was low and deep, carrying a chilling undertone: "The struggle between the plane's ruler and the myriad forces continues unabated, and the Nirvana Corpse keeps resurrecting. Now I need your help to break through to the god level, and I will help you turn the entire Douluo plane into a desolate and hopeless wasteland. Our goals have always been the same. What you want is to constantly devour, to elevate the abyss, and to make it your plane's unique divine kingdom. What I want, however, is endless wronged souls, to become gods through death, and to transform into a death god kingdom."

Due to the constant killing, the evil soul masters are collecting souls much faster than in the original story, making the Blood River God-Slaying Array more powerful and surging than ever before.

The abyss seemed to be descending sooner than expected. After several years of recuperation, the Holy Lord appeared to have recovered from his injuries. He also knew that he could not delay any longer, or things would change.

"As you wish!"

A gray light flew out from the depths of the world and landed directly in the Demon Emperor's body. She closed her eyes and focused her mind, enduring this foreign power. The shackles that had bound her for many years were loosening, and her aura began to slowly rise.

The Abyss Saint Lord manifested his form, seemingly lost in thought. He had been paying close attention to Douluo Continent during this time, and he had learned of the battle between the Plane Lord and Wanye.

The plane master of Douluo Continent is merely a second-level god. Although he has a godhood, it is not a difficult thing for him. However, Wanye is different. This guy's punishment of causality is extremely troublesome. He was seriously injured twice, which can be described as unsolvable.

At this time, the Lord of the Plane should have been severely injured and is recuperating, just like he was a few years ago. With all things destroyed, only a god-level Nirvana Corpse remains in the Douluo Plane, which seems like a perfect opportunity.

But the Abyss Saint King was uncertain. The law of cause and effect had bound him invisibly. It seemed that all things could be restored, but finding a chance of victory in such a complex situation was a slim hope.

But the situation no longer allowed him to hesitate any longer. Once the Douluo plane was completely occupied by Wanye, then the next one would be the Abyss!

Shrek Academy, Martial Arts Arena

The atmosphere was so tense it was almost frozen. In the audience, the disciples of the outer academy gathered together, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

Match 1: Yuan En Ye Hui VS Tang Jun

The current Shrek Seven Devils are facing off against the current Sea God Pavilion Master. During the year that Shrek Academy was rebuilt, it was this Sea God Pavilion Master who upheld its prestige, established its authority several times, and deeply rooted the term "Seeker of the Law" among the outer courtyard disciples.

However, the current Shrek Seven Devils represent the pinnacle of Soul Masters. Each of them is exceptionally talented, and if they do not perish, they have the potential to become Super Douluo in the future.

The clash between the two systems destined this battle to attract considerable attention.

Looking at the cautious black-haired girl in front of him, Tang Jun seemed quite relaxed, and remarked with a slight sarcasm, "Why do I have the feeling that I'm fighting myself?"

"Stop talking. After I beat you up, I'm going to challenge him." Yuan En pointed directly at Bai Xu. He had heard Bai Xu's story from Xie Xie during his free time, so he was itching to do it.

"Our deputy pavilion master is stronger than me. Defeating me certainly qualifies you to challenge him," Tang Jun said seriously.

"Let's begin."

With Bai Xu's command

Yuan Enhui's figure suddenly rose higher, and when she swung her fists, they seemed to be wrapped in some kind of special energy. Each of her attacks was slow and rhythmic, and the slight fluctuations in the air became violent and chaotic under the pull of her fists, as if all space was distorted by her power.

Tang Jun calmly summoned his divine power, and the Life and Defeat Needle floated in front of him, its sharpness aimed directly at Yuan En.

"Cloud Vortex Divine Fist!"

Yuan Enhui's fists seemed to be surrounding the clouds. As the fists were slowly punched out, the vortex-like clouds were also punched out, and the air trembled violently, as if it had been distorted.

However, Tang Jun remained calm, slightly waving his arms, opening his palms, and slamming them forward.

boom!

A loud thud followed, and Tang Jun actually took Yuanen Yehui's Cloud Vortex Divine Fist with his bare body, slapping away the incoming clouds.

Seeing this, Yuan En was slightly taken aback, but then more fists followed. One punch after another was slowly thrown out, and muffled thuds echoed, shaking the protective barrier on the training ground so much that it seemed about to collapse.

Da Ming and Er Ming intervened in time to stabilize the arena.

The latest novel is first published here!

Tang Jun waved his arms continuously, one palm against one fist, constantly scattering the incoming clouds, using his physical body to withstand the force within, seemingly without any effort.

"How is this possible! Even the boss wouldn't dare to take Yuanen's divine punch head-on like that!" Xie Xie was shocked in the audience. Seeing Tang Jun's relaxed appearance, his mood instantly plummeted.

"Xie Xie, calm down." Tang Wulin remained expressionless.

"Indeed impressive." Yuan Enhui finally stopped, his expression grave.

"Do you understand the Dharmakaya? This is called the Dharmakaya!"

boom!

Tang Jun channeled his magic power and threw a punch. Its power was almost the same as the divine fist created by Yuan En, but she had no choice but to dodge it.

With a change in her martial spirit form, the fallen angel's jet-black wings unfurled, and the girl instantly soared into the sky.

But what came towards her was a thin silver needle, as precise as lightning.

"The fallen sky!"

The pitch-black sky transformed into a barrier, enveloping Yuanen's entire body, seemingly attempting to evade the attack of the causal supernatural power. However, the causal supernatural power could not be blocked by cause and effect, and the silver needle pierced through the sky, striking Yuanen directly.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel anything at all.

"Come on, this is the last one!" Tang Jun sneered.

"Hmph, Netherworld Chains!"

Yuan En snorted coldly, his sixth soul ring flashed, and he actually summoned the Netherworld Chains under Tang Jun's feet, restricting his movement. Moreover, his sixth soul skill had a special effect: once bound by this move, one could not use teleportation skills to escape.

The chains trapped Tang Jun in place. Yuan En acted decisively, switching martial souls again: "Third Soul Skill, Vajra Titan! Fourth Soul Skill, Troll Titan! Titan Fist!"

The third and fourth soul skills provide incredibly powerful boosts, significantly increasing all attributes. The Titan Fist was created by their own ancestor, a fist technique that Erming comprehended in the God Realm through sparring with Tang San. It is a powerful skill created based on the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, extremely powerful and fierce.

This move seems to be an attack at the level of Contra.

However, Tang Jun remained bound to the spot, unmoved.

!

Just as her fist slammed down, Yuanen Yehui suddenly felt her soul power stagnate. Her soul power malfunctioned, causing the Fallen Angel's Netherworld Chains to be released. She watched helplessly as Tang Jun's figure instantly appeared beside her. In that instant, she was already unable to stop moving.

The offensive reversed, and Tang Jun punched Yuan En Ye Hui out of the arena.

One of the Shrek Seven Devils, Yuanen Yehui, was eliminated.

Tang Jun smiled slightly, looked at the Shrek Academy audience seats, and asked, "Anything else?"

The Seven Devils were instantly shrouded in a shadow. It was as familiar as ever, but in terms of both stats and mechanics, their martial souls were far inferior to their divine abilities.

"Wow, through the battle just now, I have roughly figured out the effects of his supernatural power. Although I had heard of it before, I still couldn't help but be amazed when I actually saw the domineering power of the law of causality." Ye Xinglan stood up, with a determined look on her face.

Yuan Enhui was not seriously injured, but she looked a little disheveled. She instructed, "You can only dodge that needle, not defend against it. It seems to be able to penetrate soul skill defenses."

"it is good."

Ye Xinglan leaped off the arena, her figure like a dazzling streak of light, landing lightly and silently. She summoned the Star God Sword, pointing it at Tang Jun: "Do you need to rest?"

Tang Jun shook his head, becoming increasingly calm and composed: "I still have 97% of my magical power left. Today, I'll simply let the outer courtyard disciples see clearly that martial spirits are insignificant in the face of supernatural powers!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a kind of oppressive power.

"Come on! Let's settle this with one move!"

Ye Xinglan was filled with fighting spirit, concentrating all her strength into this single sword strike. This strike carried all her beliefs and determination; it was both a challenge and a test of Tang Jun's strength. The sword energy soared into the sky. Yuanen Yehui was already second only to Tang Wulin among the Shrek Seven Devils. If Ye Xinglan lost, only the captain could save the situation.

Unlike the original story, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was destroyed, and all the immortal herbs were ruined. The Shrek Seven Devils no longer had the baptism of immortal herbs, so their configuration was much worse than before.

"Okay, let's see the treasure!"

Tang Jun took out a needle-shaped magic weapon. The weapon was long and thin, and its whole body emitted a cold light. It looked like a Western sword when held in his hand. It should have been made based on his innate supernatural power.

"A magic weapon?" Ye Xinglan was somewhat surprised, but now was not the time to be doubtful. She once again used the technique of man and sword as one, and her soul rings flashed brightly. This was a sure-win attack driven by her belief.

Tang Jun also leaped out.

Magic Weapon VS Martial Soul

"Break it!"

Ye Xinglan's low roar contained uncontrollable anger and determination. His sword energy pierced through everything. In an instant, Tang Jun's magic weapon began to succumb to the immense pressure, emitting a piercing cracking sound, trembling slightly, and showing faint signs of breaking.

As expected, the magical artifact was no match for Ye Xinglan's sword energy and shattered instantly. Without hesitation, the Star God Sword thrust towards Tang Jun's chest, its blade flashing briefly.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the Star God Sword collided violently with Tang Jun's Dharma Body, causing the entire battlefield to tremble.

The sword's edge failed to penetrate his solid body, as if it had struck an indestructible barrier. Even with the enhancement of his two-word battle armor, Ye Xinglan still couldn't shake Tang Jun's iron-clad defense.

Tang Jun's smile carried a hint of disdain: "Actually, what I'm best at is the Dharma Body."
