Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 397 "The Source of Life": Tang San's True Colors, and the Foolish Yu Xiaogang

Hyotei was displeased upon hearing the word "evil".

"Your Excellency, how can you say that? Whatever you have done, it is essentially for the sake of our Soul Beast race to become more prosperous and powerful." Ice Emperor looked at Lin Yun seriously, their faces close together, and Lin Yun could even smell the fragrance of her breath.

"Therefore, what Your Excellency has done is not evil at all, and is worthy of praise from all of us soul beasts. We should record it and pass it down forever."

Lin Yun looked up and found that, apart from the three human girls, the seven ferocious beast kings were already standing in a circle, staring intently at him, even Xiong Jun, who was always stubborn.

If Xiong Jun used to be stubborn and resentful of Lin Yun, showing no respect for the elders, he has now completely passed his rebellious phase.

He had almost fully grasped the principle that "muscles can't save a soul beast."

In reality, muscles can save soul beasts, but unfortunately, his muscles aren't big enough to play a bigger role than Lin Yun's brain.

So, how do we solve this problem?

Only by sticking closely to the big boss!

Let alone getting Xiong Jun to follow Lin Yun's arrangements, even if he were asked to sacrifice himself to Lin Yun as his ninth soul ring, he probably wouldn't even blink an eye.

Although Lin Yun doesn't really think much of his spirit rings now.

Looking at the faces that have been with me for many years.

Lin Yun grinned and stretched out his right hand. Ice Emperor was the first to place his hand on hers, followed by Snow Emperor, Bi Ji, Emperor Tian, ​​Ten Thousand Demon King, Red King, and Bear King. The eight hands were stacked together, transmitting their power to each other.

"The Soul Beast race will one day reign supreme over the world!"

……

What exactly is Lin Yun's plan?

Lin Yun: Add me on WeChat (V60), and I'll tell you my plan to unify the continent. Don't ask why it's an extra 10 yuan; it's because I want to eat another hamburger. Once I unify the continent, I'll bestow upon you the title of Douluo Xiaoyao King!

Next, please watch the video.

After Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong left the Golden Tree, the only things that could affect Lin Yun were Ah Yin, whose condition was unknown in the Golden Tree, and the divine consciousness left behind by Tang San.

Yan Shaozhe is nothing to fear. Even when Lin Yun was still at Shrek Academy, this mid-to-upper-level Title Douluo, who was neither the best nor the worst, was never taken seriously by him and could not pose any obstacle at all.

More importantly, how to resolve the conflict between Ah Yin and Tang San.

There are, of course, reasons for this.

First of all, it's certain that Ah Yin's condition will be affected by the bombardment of the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells. However, Lin Yun doesn't know how significant this effect will be. To be on the safe side, Lin Yun decides to assume that she has not been affected at all.

Furthermore, there's Tang San's divine sense. Even if his divine sense can't unleash attacks above the god level, it's definitely at the ceiling below the god level. It's about stuffing in as much power as possible without violating any rules.

Given the presence of two unknown combatants, Lin Yun would certainly not send his own people to their deaths, so the long-hidden book could be released!

Humans are the most greedy creatures!

What will people do when they learn that Shrek Academy possessed the most precious Golden Tree in Douluo Continent, and that Shrek Academy has now been destroyed, leaving only Yan Shaozhe?

Without a doubt, the four great empires and countless other forces will flock to the ruins of Shrek Academy, sit beside the corpses of Shrek Academy members, and feast on their rotting flesh.

Just like the Spirit Hall collapsed ten thousand years ago, a group of forces, like hungry vultures, devoured the legacy left behind by the Spirit Hall.

They are Lin Yun's most useful tools.

Using their lives to test Ah Yin and Tang San was the perfect way to do it. Not only would it prevent Lin Yun from being exposed to Tang San, but it would also allow them to observe the situation from behind the scenes.

When the orange and the clam fight, the fisherman always benefits!

Moreover, it was Lin Yun, the master fisherman who actively laid the bait and watched people willingly fall into his trap. This is what you call truly inviting the enemy into a trap!

As for how many Soul Masters from Douluo Continent will be killed by Ah Yin and Tang San in this battle, what does that have to do with Lin Yun?

The books were released by Lin Yun, and he was the one who informed the world of the Golden Tree's value. Whether they will be controlled by their own greed is their own choice. We'll see if they can resist the temptation of the Golden Tree and the temptation to have their power last as long as Shrek Academy!

—The Origin of Life!

After a divine battle, the two gods of the Spirit Hall perished, and the vast Spirit Empire collapsed in an instant. The former overlord vanished into thin air, and in its place came the six gods of Shrek Academy, led by Tang San.

On the ruins of the Spirit Hall, a new holy land was built: Shrek Academy.

Gods need faith. The former Angel God became a god through faith. She left behind a divine legacy in the Spirit Hall and bestowed the divine martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, upon the Angel lineage. Each generation of Angel successors can pass the Angel God Test to receive rewards and undergo transformation.

The Divine Trial is a blessing for Soul Masters. As long as they pass the test of the Angel God, almost every generation of Angel successors can reliably break through to level 99 and become an invincible peerless Douluo of that era.

It is through this method that the Angel God has ensured the enduring prosperity of the Spirit Hall's Angel lineage, protecting the continent while slaying evil, spreading faith for the Angel God, and reciting the name of the Angel God.

But the Sea God Tang San is different.

The angel goddess was able to leave behind divine testimonies, hoping that some descendant would inherit her divine position and take over her responsibilities.

The Sea God Tang San was unwilling to pass on the divine test, because he himself had only recently become a god and was clearly unwilling to pass on the Sea God position that he had "gone through countless hardships" to inherit.

Furthermore, he could not inherit it, because he had nothing but the position of the sea god.

Some people may think that since Tang San, the Sea God, was able to become a god with his useless martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, then he must be very strong in his mastery of Blue Silver Grass. But the truth is quite the opposite.

Tang San's parents were Tang Hao, the current Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect. Tang Hao gave him his second spirit, the Haotian Hammer. Tang San's mother was a 100,000-year-old transformed spirit beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.

Yes, Tang San's mother was not human, but a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast. Therefore, the Blue Silver Grass he inherited was naturally not ordinary Blue Silver Grass. He was not a waste from the beginning, but a prodigy with twin top-tier martial souls.

How many people have been misled for their entire lives by the saying, "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters"? The premise of twin martial souls is that the two martial souls need to be of similar quality. How could the Blue Silver Grass that can accompany the Clear Sky Hammer really be just ordinary Blue Silver Grass?

It's laughable that the Tang Clan still takes pride in Blue Silver Grass, unaware that this foolish worship is precisely the root cause of the Tang Clan's decline.

But there is another problem here, which is the cultivation method of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

A martial soul can only achieve its greatest growth and enhance a soul master's strength to the maximum extent by acquiring the most suitable soul rings.

Tang San's spirit ring configuration: First spirit ring: Mandragora Snake, Second spirit ring: Ghost Vine, Third spirit ring: Human-faced Demon Spider, Fourth spirit ring: Cave Demon Spider.

This configuration was even included in Yu Xiaogang's teaching materials, becoming the most perfect soul ring combination for Blue Silver Grass.

But... is it really perfect?

Blue Silver Grass is found everywhere and possesses the most tenacious vitality. The ultimate secret of the Blue Silver Emperor is the immortal secret of "wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows and it grows again". The most suitable soul ring for Blue Silver Grass should be a plant soul beast soul ring full of vitality.

However, under the foolish guidance of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San added a poison-attribute spirit ring to the Blue Silver Grass. If his spirit essence had not been the Blue Silver Emperor, his spirit would have been ruined long ago.

Even so, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul had already gone down the wrong path, becoming a Martial Soul that could only be used as a tool to enhance his Soul Power.

As for the Haotian Hammer...

It is undeniable that the Clear Sky Hammer is indeed a powerful weapon spirit. Tang Chen, the first prodigy of the Clear Sky Sect, even created the Great Sumeru Hammer, the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky, and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, among other Clear Sky Hammer techniques.

However, Tang San did not achieve much with the Clear Sky Hammer either, far less than his brilliant ancestor. The Clear Sky Hammer was also a tool for him to improve his soul power.

His strength surpasses that of both the Sea God and the Asura God.

In this situation, how could he possibly pass on his divine position?

After it is passed down, what should he use?

Ultimately, gods are just more powerful soul masters; they are still human at heart!

As long as you are human, you will have greed; as long as you are human, you will have desires; as long as you are human, you will have things you cannot give up!

He wanted to retain his divine position, but he also wanted to leave a legend on the Douluo Continent, so that the Douluo Continent would forever sing his divine name, bring him a continuous stream of faith, and allow him to keep improving his divine position.

The Sea God's position is at the peak of a first-level god. If he collects more faith, the Sea God's position can also be upgraded to the level of a god-king.

Douluo Continent was the training ground for Tang San, the Sea God!

If he doesn't want to inherit the divine position, it means he can't leave behind a divine test, and he can't use the divine test to cultivate his own power or collect faith. In the long run, the Douluo Continent will definitely forget his name.

It's important to understand that deities cannot interfere with the mortal realm.

Once he ascends to immortality, Douluo Continent will have nothing to do with Tang San anymore.

Is Tang San willing to accept this?

They definitely wouldn't accept it.

As mentioned earlier, every human being has greed and desires, and Tang San's desires and greed are far stronger than those of ordinary people.

It was precisely because of his almost ruthless actions that he achieved his reputation as the god of the sea.

So, Tang San came up with a solution.

Douluo Continent is a plane, a plane that has given birth to plane consciousness and possesses the origin of life. The origin of life condenses the fortune and power of Douluo Continent, while plane consciousness can communicate with the origin of life, allowing the origin of life to operate stably and bringing inexhaustible primordial energy to Douluo Continent.

The elemental power of heaven and earth is the soul power within the bodies of soul masters and soul beasts.

Dimensional consciousness is an ethereal and intangible existence, but the origin of life has a physical form!

And this materialized source of life is none other than the true form of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion—the Golden Ancient Tree!

If the Golden Ancient Tree were to be compared to a soul beast, it would undoubtedly be a god-level soul beast with a million years of cultivation. Moreover, it is responsible for converting the spiritual energy of the Douluo Continent, and its own vitality is extremely vigorous.

Such a treasure, even just sitting next to it, can increase the speed of cultivation by more than double. Living next to the Golden Ancient Tree for a long time can also cause a Soul Master to undergo a subtle transformation.

Both the body and the martial spirit can receive incredible benefits under the illumination of the Golden Ancient Tree.

Since he couldn't use the Divine Trial to cultivate his power, why not monopolize the Golden Ancient Tree and use this life source that should have benefited the entire Douluo Continent to serve Tang San alone?

The benefits that the Golden Ancient Tree can bring are in no way inferior to those of the Divine Exam!

Let's take a look at Shrek's history over the past ten thousand years.

Undeniably, Shrek Academy, as the number one academy on the continent and the holy land of Douluo Soul Masters, is able to gather the top geniuses of the entire Douluo Continent. But can a powerhouse like the Limit Douluo be achieved solely through talent?

Even ten thousand years ago, before Tang San monopolized the source of life, and in an era where Title Douluo powerhouses could gain an extra hundred years of lifespan with each breakthrough, there were very few Peerless Douluo.

Moreover, in this era where the source of life has been occupied and the lifespan of all Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent has been greatly reduced, Shrek Academy is still able to produce Limit Douluo in an endless stream.

It's precisely because they monopolized the Golden Tree!

In other words, Shrek Academy is using the lifespans of all the Title Douluo powerhouses to cultivate their own powerhouses, monopolize the entire Douluo Continent, and continuously harvest faith for Tang San!

Look at you, Soul Masters, especially Title Douluos! You should have had longer lifespans, been able to spend more time with your families, and enjoyed more of the beauty of the world. But because of Tang San's selfishness and his actions, even if you break through to level 99, you will only have two or three hundred years left to live.

The hundreds of Limit Douluos of Shrek Academy over the past ten thousand years have all been absorbing your life force to become stronger!

Are evil spirit masters evil?

It is undeniable that evil spirit masters are cruel. They disregard life, are bloodthirsty by nature, and take pleasure in extracting marrow and refining souls. They deserve to die, and their sins are too numerous to count.

But what about Shrek?

They didn't kill indiscriminately like evil soul masters, but this kind of invisible absorption of life, which is to absorb the lifespan of all people and soul masters in the entire Douluo Continent, is even more evil than evil soul masters!

By what right do they steal the lifespan that should rightfully belong to you?

What right do they have to extract your lifespan to make themselves stronger without your knowledge?
