Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 26 Turning the Illusory into the Real (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Within the Spirit Ascension Platform, the Crimson King and the Purple Princess are undoubtedly overlords, their bloodline suppression alone enough to scatter and flee any surrounding soul beasts.

The two of them escorted Bai Xu and Gu Yue straight to the depths of the advanced Spirit Ascension Platform.

Compared to the dense, primeval forest on the outskirts, the landscape deeper inside is quite different. It's like a desolate place, with a small mountain about a hundred meters high standing there. The ground around the mountain is riddled with holes, uprooting ancient trees that have stood for kilometers around, making the area somewhat barren.

These traces of battle reveal the warlike nature of the place's owner. It seems that the owner also sensed the arrival of people and appeared leisurely on the peak, looking down and scrutinizing the group of intruders.

Bai Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, also sizing up the golden-haired lion-mastiff. It was about four meters long, with a very well-proportioned body. Every muscle was slightly bulging, exuding explosive power. Its head was huge, like a giant lion, but it had a ghostly face. Compared to its bright golden fur, its face was black, as if it were outlined as a devil.

Compared to its somewhat ugly appearance, the golden-haired lion-mastiff stood on a halo with gold edges and black runes inside, which was clearly its innate domain.

This race lived up to its reputation for being warlike; they immediately went into battle mode upon meeting, determined to fight Bai Xu and his group to the death.

"Roar!" A deep roar came from the golden-haired lion-mastiff. Its brown-yellow eyes were fixed on Bai Xu. Its golden fur bristled, and it leaped down from the peak, intending to trample everyone to death.

"Be careful not to kill it."

As Bai Xu gave the order, Chi Wang and Zi Ji appeared instantly. The two had deliberately concealed their auras so as not to scare away the golden-haired lion mastiff. Now, they acted swiftly and decisively. With flashes of red and purple light, the once menacing golden-haired lion mastiff fell from the peak to Bai Xu's feet, already on the verge of death.

A ferocious beast that is 300,000 years old can still easily defeat a golden-haired lion that is 10,000 years old.

"Roar~~~" The golden-haired lion still refused to give in, letting out a deep voice as it tried to use its innate skill, the lion roar, but it was too weak to do so after being seriously injured.

Bai Xu, holding the Fruit of Myriad Deeds in his right hand, circled the four-meter-tall body, carefully examining it before finally stopping beside its head. Then, he looked at Gu Yue and asked, "It's said that this Spirit Ascension Platform can be considered another world, utilizing a large amount of spatial technology, half virtual and half real."

Gu Yue agreed, "That's right. Even the Spirit Transmission Tower hasn't figured out the secrets of the Spirit Ascension Platform. The spiritual power within it is the power of this semi-virtual world, which can help Soul Masters increase their Soul Spirit's lifespan."

"Spiritual power?" Bai Xu murmured, then looked at the Crimson King and ordered, "Go and bring over any low-level soul beast."

"Yes."

The Crimson King flashed a crimson light and reappeared several dozen seconds later, handing Bai Xu a dying ten-year-old Mandragora Serpent. Bai Xu didn't mind; he used his left-hand Heaven-Tearing Claw to kill it instantly, releasing wisps of spiritual energy that flowed entirely into the Fruit of Myriad Karmas.

Knowing this should be enough.

As Bai Xu made up his mind, the Fruit of Myriad Works he was holding in his right hand trembled slightly. He pressed down with his large hand and directly slapped the Fruit of Myriad Works into the head of the golden-haired lion-dog.

A slight spatial ripple spread outwards, affecting the entire Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform plane. Space itself began to distort around the fruit, forming a vortex that even obscured vision. Bai Xu's body appeared to be sucked into the vortex, resulting in a visual distortion.

The space returned to normal in the next moment.

As the virtual data changed, the golden-haired lion-dog gradually became lifelike in the perception of Red King and the others, as if it had come to life just like them.

Before the Crimson King and the others could even fully perceive what was happening, Bai Xu ruthlessly struck, his dark gold claws piercing the golden-haired lion-dog's skull, instantly silencing it.

Immediately afterwards, to everyone's astonishment, the black ten-thousand-year soul ring quietly appeared in front of Bai Xu.

"This!" Gu Yue exclaimed in surprise. The golden-haired lion-dog was indeed alive, and the thumping of its heart was deafening.

Bai Xu sat cross-legged, held his breath and began to absorb the soul ring. The Fruit of Myriad Karmas hovered in mid-air behind Bai Xu, pulsating slightly and emitting faint fluctuations.

Gu Yue's gaze was drawn to it. If this thing could truly bring all the soul beasts in the Ascension Platform plane to life, then...

The temptation in her heart seemed to be magnified infinitely, and Gu Yue couldn't help but reach out and touch the Myriad Fruits.

However, although it stopped behind Bai Xu, it was an illusion; Gu Yue clenched her fist but felt no sensation of touching it. The Crimson King and Zi Ji were also puzzled, scrutinizing it but daring not to move forward.

Bai Xu frowned slightly, indicating that he was struggling with the ferocity of the golden-haired lion-dog in the spirit ring, and it would take some time to absorb the spirit ring.

"Is this the wonder of all things? Turning the illusory into the real?" Zi Ji murmured softly.

The Crimson King nodded: "Our lord has already accomplished this much before becoming a god; what will it be like if he does become a god?"

The two exchanged glances. If Bai Xu were to become a god in the future and be willing to help the soul beasts, then the revival of the soul beasts would be hopeful. They remained silent, only pondering in their hearts, knowing they would naturally tell Di Tian and the others when they returned.

Ten minutes later

Bai Xu exhaled a breath of stale air, and with a thought, three spirit rings—purple, black, and purple—appeared, his spirit power settling at level 37. This ten-thousand-year spirit ring greatly amplified his strength attribute, and combined with Xiong Jun's Sky-Tearing Claw, no one of his generation could withstand a single blow, not even Tang Wulin.

Bai Xu's physical abilities have become increasingly exaggerated. Now his stats and mechanics far surpass those of his peers, allowing him to easily win even when fighting against opponents of higher levels.

The cultivation methods in Douluo Continent are exaggerated; there are practically no barriers to entry. Bai Xu sometimes wondered, if a Soul Master with innate full Soul Power were to accept sacrifices from a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast from a young age, then given enough resources, he could even reach level 98 or 99 before the age of 20.

If he were in Douyi, receiving a divine inheritance would be even more heaven-defying.

Bai Xu had considered having these ferocious beasts line up as sacrifices, but later abandoned the idea.

He slowly rose, smiling slightly: "Judging from your expressions, you want me to revive the soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Gu Yue asked, "Can it survive in the outside world? Or can it only survive in the Ascension Platform?"

Bai Xu snapped his fingers, and with the massive body of the golden-haired lion mastiff in tow, pressed the distress signal button, saying, "We'll know once we go out and take a look."

The other three followed closely behind. In the metallic room, Bai Xu woke up from the groove of the Spirit Ascension Platform instrument. As soon as he got up, he saw a golden-haired lion-dog lying in the room, covered in blood, with three holes in its head.

Red King and Purple Princess were filled with disbelief as they touched the lingering warmth of the corpse. The soul beast from the virtual world had actually been brought into reality by Bai Xu.

"I'm giving you the corpses. Do a good job. When I become a god, I'll definitely resurrect a batch of you. If all else fails, there are still Nirvana Corpses, right?" Bai Xu earnestly comforted the two.

Gu Yue hesitated. It seemed that following Bai Xu wasn't such a bad thing, at least she couldn't achieve such a miracle.
