Douluo Continent: I Raise God-Level Soul Beasts

Tropical plants feel denser and more humid. Temperate plants feel fresher and more dispersed, lacking the density of tropical plants. Therefore, moving around in the Sunset Forest is much easier than in the Starry Sky Forest.

Meanwhile, inside Sunset Forest, many powerful Soul Masters were gathered. If someone in the know were present, they would recognize them as renowned experts from across the continent!

Floating in mid-air at the head of the group are Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, the two strongest Soul Masters recognized by the two empires.

Behind them followed the elders and powerful figures of the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.

The Spirit Hall's Golden Crocodile and Demon Slayer are both Douluo level experts over a hundred years old, along with three elders from the Clear Sky Sect.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu spoke up: "Brother Tang, you also noticed that commotion?"

Tang Chen, with his dignified appearance, nodded: "Yes, that power is very strong. You know, I've always enjoyed dealing with powerful things."

"Moreover, this thing may be carrying the life of an elder of my Haotian Sect, so I naturally have to come and see it."

Qian Daoliu frowned: "The death of the Haotian Sect elder may also be related to Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of my Palace, this matter..."

"No need to say anything more. I've heard about Bibi Dong's affairs. She is indeed a rare genius, one in a thousand years. But no matter what, she's still just an immature little girl. I, Tang Chen, have no reason to question her. No matter how strong she is, she couldn't possibly kill an elder of my Haotian Sect."

"I, Tang Chen, understand this principle."

"I know Tang Chen's character perfectly well."

Tang Chen's words caused Qian Daoliu to burst into laughter. He was genuinely worried that Tang Chen would pursue the matter, otherwise even he would have difficulty protecting Bibi Dong.

Qian Daoliu once fought Tang Chen in the mountains hundreds of miles outside Tiandou City. At that time, they had just been promoted to Title Douluo and were both full of vigor, so they challenged each other to a duel.

Unfortunately, Qian Daoliu was ultimately defeated by Tang Chen and lost ownership of the mountains to the Clear Sky Sect. The Spirit Hall was never allowed to set foot in the mountains without the Clear Sky Sect's permission.

Qian Daoliu still kept this matter in mind. He had grand ambitions to overthrow the two great empires. He had to swallow Tang Chen, this tough nut, and break the oath of the mountains. This way, the Spirit Hall could take down the Clear Sky Sect in one fell swoop at the crucial moment without any worries.

Just as Qian Daoliu was preparing to challenge Tang Chen to another duel, a mysterious force appeared in Tiandou City, alarming them all, who rushed over.

Upon arriving at Tiandou City, they indeed could not find the powerful figure.

Instead, an earthquake-like tremor resounded in the Sunset Forest, where a colossal creature unlike any seen before lay lurking.

This is what attracted Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen to be here at this time.

An investigation revealed that someone witnessed the enormous creature swimming upstream from the southern river before disappearing into the Sunset Forest.

"However, why did Tang Chen say that this mysterious soul beast was the murderer who killed your Haotian Sect's Fifth Elder?"

"Have you forgotten? It is said that soul beasts with more than 100,000 years of cultivation can be reborn as humans. If a rare 100,000-year-old soul beast were to be reborn as a human, or even to the point where it could retain both its human body and its true soul beast form at the same time?"

Tang Chen's guess made Qian Daoliu realize something. "If that's the case, it can explain the sudden appearance of a powerhouse above the Super Douluo level."

Normally, there are only a limited number of Title Douluos in the two great empires, and they are all renowned figures in their respective regions, whose names are known throughout the Soul Master world, unless the person has had very little contact with other Soul Masters.

Therefore, the only possibility is that the soul beasts cultivate into humans.

"If that's the case, I really don't know how that child got to know this soul beast transformed into a human? Oh?"

Qian Daoliu remembered that Ji'er seemed to have said that the child had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for the third soul ring and had a fortuitous encounter, which is why he was able to absorb the ten-thousand-year third soul ring.

If a terrifying soul beast were to help, wouldn't it be an easy task?

Thinking of this, a wicked idea sprouted in Qian Daoliu's mind: if he could use Bibi Dong as bait to kill that powerful soul beast and let Ji'er absorb all the soul rings and soul bones, then Ji'er would have soul rings and soul bones that were over 100,000 years old, which would greatly increase her strength.

Perhaps, Ji'er can pass the nine tests of the angels and become the God of Angels!

At that time, what was Tang Chen's Haotian Sect worth?

What do the royal families of the two great empires amount to?

The Spirit Hall is the only dominant force, unifying all spirit masters under heaven!

Before God, all are but ants!

“Brother Tang Chen, with our current cultivation levels, there are probably no soul beasts on the continent that can rival us. Why don’t we test this soul beast and see its true strength?”

"If possible, why don't we join forces to kill him? The soul ring will belong to the Clear Sky Sect, and the soul bone will belong to our Spirit Hall. What do you say?"

Qian Daoliu, that old fox, offered very cunning advice.

Soul rings are generally more valuable than soul bones, especially in terms of attack and development.

The strength of the soul skills that a soul ring adds to a soul master is generally higher than that of the soul skills added to a soul bone. Moreover, soul rings are essential for breaking through realms and represent the ultimate height of a soul master.

Soul bones are more effective at improving a soul master's physical attributes. For example, leg bones can directly increase leg strength and speed, while skull bones can significantly enhance a soul master's mental strength and are more geared towards auxiliary purposes.

Therefore, absorbing as many spirit rings as possible and acquiring a powerful spirit ring skill is more important than anything else; spirit bones come second.

However, Qian Daoliu took the initiative to say that he would give the soul ring to the Clear Sky Sect and only ask for the soul bone from the Spirit Hall, which was actually a little trick.

Soul rings cannot be preserved and can only be absorbed upon killing, while soul bones can be preserved and even passed down from generation to generation, making their cost-effectiveness self-evident.

Tang Chen pursued the ultimate power throughout his life, and his requirement for the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect was also that strength was paramount. If he really had to choose, he would naturally prefer the Soul Ring.

But he's not stupid. If he kills it immediately, where can he find a Douluo who is exactly level 80 or 90 to absorb?

So he wants them all!

“That’s exactly what I was thinking too. However, there’s no need to distribute the soul rings and soul bones. Let’s set a rule: whoever can blind one of the soul beast’s eyes first will get the soul beast. What do you think?”

Tang Chen said.

Only those who have full confidence in their own strength dare to state such rules in front of people of the same level.

"In that case, we can only do as Brother Tang Chen suggests."

Qian Daoliu nodded and said that he originally wanted to at least get a 100,000-year-old soul bone, just to be on the safe side.

But if it really came down to a contest, he wasn't necessarily going to lose. Over the years, he had been bathing and cultivating in the holy light of angels, gaining some divine power, which had greatly improved his strength.

"Then let's go."

"You all stay outside and keep watch. Don't let any other Soul Masters in, or they'll get killed. Sunset Forest is an extremely dangerous area now."

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen rushed into the Sunset Forest, searching for the trace of that enormous creature.

"According to a few eyewitnesses, the soul beast is roughly shaped like a lizard. It is not recorded in any of the soul beast records on the continent, and we don't know exactly how many years of cultivation it has. We must be careful," Qian Daoliu said cautiously.

"Don't worry, with our current level, even a 900,000-year-old soul beast is no problem. If you're really worried, Brother Qian, just stay in the back and let me make the first move."

Tang Chen smiled confidently: "However, if I blind him with my first move, then he will belong to our Haotian Sect, and I will take him back to the sect to raise him."

When Hao'er or Xiao'er breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, kill them and let them absorb soul rings and soul bones that are over 100,000 years old. This will surely allow the Clear Sky Sect to reach an unprecedented peak.

With that, Tang Chen felt relieved.

Tang Chen knew all too well the power of the red ring that came from a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Back when he was level 90, he led several seniors to search the entire Douluo Realm, wandering in the Star Dou Great Forest for a full ten years before encountering a 100,000-year-old soul beast, which he killed and perfected the Ring Explosion Technique.

The final Soul Rings were: Yellow-Purple-Purple-Black-Black-Black-Black-Black-Red.

Some say he wasted ten years, which would have been enough for him to advance several more levels beyond the title of Douluo.

But the result was that after he returned, he defeated Qian Daoliu, who was also at level 94 and possessed a 100,000-year-old divinely bestowed soul ring, with his level 91 soul power, letting everyone know the true power of the Clear Sky Hammer.

That hammer blow still terrifies Qian Daoliu to this day.

"Brother Tang Chen, rest assured, I, Qian Daoliu, keep my word. Take the Dongshan area for example, since it was assigned to your Haotian Sect, has anyone from our Spirit Hall gone there to cause trouble?"

“I naturally trust Brother Qian’s reputation.”

"Wait, there seems to be some movement!"

During their conversation, the two held their breath, their gazes passing through the sparse leaves and across the forest to land on a gigantic lizard that was hundreds of meters tall and impossible to hide.

The behemoth looked rugged and ferocious, tall and strong, with a narrow head, and lightning crystals like blades growing on its back. Its arms were short but thick and powerful, and its bone spikes were as sharp as steel thorns.

With a gentle flick of its tail, it knocked down all the ancient trees behind it.

Those are ancient trees that have grown for hundreds or thousands of years. They are strong and powerful, and some soul masters with plant-type martial souls even use them as targets for hunting soul rings!

"What a terrifying soul beast! This one is even more ferocious than the one I had back then!"

Tang Chen's eyes gleamed with greed as he said to Qian Daoliu, "Brother Qian, if the soul ring I absorbed back then had come from it, I'm afraid my Great Sumeru Ring Explosion back then would have taken your life."

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath. Although it was true, he still felt embarrassed to have Tang Chen say it so directly. He had already lost, and now Tang Chen was adding insult to injury.

"But what is it doing here?"

The enormous soul beast, shaped like Godzilla, kept slapping the ground with its paws, causing the earth to tremble and the surrounding area to shake for miles around.

Even those within Heaven Dou City felt it:

"Earthquake? Is it an earthquake?"

"Tch, what's the big fuss about? It's probably just another battle between some powerful individuals."

Gradually, the residents of Tiandou City got used to it. In the center of the empire, there were many powerful people, so it was normal for there to be some commotion if a fight broke out.

"It looks like they're tapping on the cage?"

The cage was so different in size from Godzilla that even Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen didn't notice it immediately.

"A few ice scorpions, and a bunch of chicks?"

The two were astonished to discover what was inside the cage:

"Could it be searching for food? With its huge size, how can it possibly fill its stomach by eating such a small soul beast?"

"I'm more curious about what material the cage is made of. It was hit so hard by him so many times, and it didn't seem to be damaged much, just a little deformed."

The two looked at each other, finding the scene utterly unbelievable.

Godzilla seemed to have struggled for a long time but still couldn't get what it wanted. It plopped down on the ground with a thud, kicking its short legs in frustration.

So annoying! So annoying!

I finally found a chance to steal some baby phoenixes to eat, and I also managed to snag a few baby scorpions, but I couldn't open the cage!

"The opportunity has arrived. If we strike now, we will surely deal it a heavy blow!"

No sooner had Tang Chen finished speaking than his body shot off, summoning his Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, in the midst of rapid flight, and smashing it heavily towards Godzilla's eye:

"Right Leg Bone Soul Skill: Catapult!"

Fourth Soul Skill: Haotian Collapse!
