Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Although Dongqing is a pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant of the Ten Fierce Level, he is far too young. At only a few years old [a pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant takes a thousand years to reach adulthood, and only reaches adulthood at a thousand years old], he really cannot withstand the invisible pressure of the endless chaotic sea.

As you can see, the once vibrant and beautiful little world inside the Sky Shuttle is now a desolate and lifeless wasteland.

It's no wonder the Sky-Piercing Shuttle was underwhelming; it's a treasure that only those who have reached the third stage can truly activate.

As a second-stage being, the female celestial ant Yu Niang could only forcefully drive it using her soul power. Therefore, she naturally could not fully unleash the true power of the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

At the same time, the female ant Yuniang paid a huge price, her soul almost completely collapsed, and even Dongqing consumed more than 90% of his own bloodline's essence.

If one reaches the third stage and drives the Sky Shuttle, fully activating its capabilities, there will naturally be no problems, and the inner world will not be destroyed.

Unfortunately... there are only a few Heavenly Horned Ants who have reached the third step. They are unwilling to help the Ninth Prince Dongqing, whose talent is not great, since he is not the only pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant.

The only person who cares about Dongqing is Yu Niang, a mixed-blood ant who was entrusted to Dongqing by his biological parents on their deathbeds.

Meanwhile, in the eyes of these powerful members of the Heavenly Horned Ant clan who had reached the third step of their strength, the female Heavenly Horned Ant Yu Niang was a cowardly, timid, and useless woman.

They looked down on cowards who wanted to escape the perfect world, even though the female ant Yu Niang was their kin.

The Skyhorned Ants stand at the pinnacle of the Perfect World, a top-tier race of the Ten Ferocious Ones, fearless of any enemy. However, they are the most unique among them, actually attempting to use the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, the only one capable of traversing the endless chaotic sea, to escape the Perfect World.

However, they didn't care. After all, the Sky Shuttle had never actively recognized a master, and it wasn't very convenient to use it by force. In addition, the Sky Shuttle was just a treasure that could traverse the endless chaotic sea, and it had no effect on enhancing combat.

As for the ability to protect the soul, the Sky Shuttle that has not recognized a master will not protect the soul.

Therefore, in the eyes of these third-step experts of the Heavenly Horned Ants, the Sky Shuttle was a rather useless treasure.

They're useless at everything, but they're number one at running away. Do they think our Horned Ant clan are cowards?

Moreover, it traverses the endless chaotic sea...

In their view, it's courting death.

Even Immortal Kings and Quasi-Immortal Emperors wouldn't dare set foot there, yet a mere woman who had only recently reached the Supreme Realm dared to claim she could set foot in the Endless Chaos Sea.

Even if the Sky-Piercing Shuttle does have the ability to traverse the endless chaotic sea, how long can it go? How far can it go? That's another question, and no one wants to gamble with their life.

The more powerful a being is, the more it cherishes its life. Not everyone is like Huang [Shi Hao], who possesses immense personal charisma and has countless powerful individuals willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

As third-step powerhouses of the same Heavenly Horned Ant clan [True Immortal, Immortal, Long-lived, Mortal Immortal], they had no intention of risking their lives for Dong Qing and choosing to enter the terrifying Endless Chaos Sea.

Without the purple light information inherited from Dongqing who had previously recognized him as their master, these third-step powerhouses from the Heavenly Horned Ant clan firmly believed that driving the Sky-Piercing Shuttle into the Endless Chaos Sea was tantamount to courting death.

In the end, it was the old Skyhorn Ant, who was the patriarch of the Skyhorn Ant clan, who stepped forward and expressed his support for the female Skyhorn Ant Yu Niang's idea. At the same time, he also wanted to leave a bloodline for the Skyhorn Ant clan.

It won't lead to a crisis of extinction one day, and in the end, even the bloodline of the Skyhorn Ants will be cut off.

Finally, it must be said that women are indeed bold in some aspects.

Even though the Heavenly Horned Ant had warned the Female Heavenly Horned Ant Yu Niang that doing so might cause her soul to be scattered, she still resolutely took Dong Qing and left the Perfect World.

Perhaps, she simply didn't want to see Dongqing tainted by the terrible and ominous; she hoped that Dongqing could grow up in a safe and normal world.

The Perfect World is a very powerful world, but unfortunately, one person fell ill and transformed into a terrifying plateau, giving birth to the ten ominous alien progenitors.

Since then.

This world is filled with eeriness and misfortune; the heavens weep blood, all spirits fall, and dark turmoil occurs from time to time.

[An Unknown Fifth-Step Powerhouse in the Perfect World]

In the perfect world, there once existed a person or being who was extremely powerful. In pursuit of a higher realm, the legendary sixth level of life.

Unintelligible, unimaginable, incapable of death.

In pursuit of a higher realm, to see higher places, he sacrificed everything, including himself.

Unfortunately, he failed. His attempt did not break through the shackles of the fifth level of life, but instead sowed the seeds of endless bloodshed and tears for the future generations of the Perfect World.

From then on, everything about him in the Perfect World became a void, and everything became untraceable. Later, his body also developed very serious problems.

To avoid bringing disaster to many worlds, he cremated himself, placed his ashes in an urn, put them in a bronze coffin of three lifetimes that he had made himself, and buried them on the terrifying plateau.

Ten people then ventured into the plateau, were tainted by the ashes and the plateau's influence, and underwent a transformation. They later entered the darkness and became the progenitors of the monsters, receiving the plateau's protection.

In this way, the strange race slowly began to grow and expand, giving birth to ten Immortal Emperors and many Quasi-Immortal Emperors. At the same time, countless lives had to be sacrificed in each era.

Many years later, a young man emerged from the Great Wilderness. He was born to cultivate the Dao and to face tribulations. After going through countless hardships and tribulations, he finally became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

This young man is none other than... the future Desolate Emperor [Shi Hao], destined to rule all ages.

Hundreds of thousands of years later.

Dong Qing and he will eventually meet. Perhaps by then he will have become a legendary fifth-step expert, qualified to avenge his biological parents.

Completely exterminate the strange race.

......

Inside the Sky Shuttle, in a small world, lies the White Jade Palace and the Martial Arts Pavilion.

The true original of the Immortal Sutra is located here. It appeared long ago beside the female ant Jade Maiden, but it was just an illusory projection.

At the same time, the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion also houses many cultivation techniques inherited from the Heavenly Horned Ant Clan and the Perfect World, as a clan that stands at the pinnacle of the Perfect World.

The Skyhorned Ant clan possessed countless cultivation techniques, and out of careful consideration, the old Skyhorned Ant made copies of each one inside the White Jade Palace within the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

at this time.

Looking at the countless scrolls of cultivation techniques floating before him, Dong Qing swallowed hard and asked, "Yu Niang... when you left, did you secretly take everything from the Heavenly Horned Ant clan?"

With so many cultivation scrolls, which one is the Immortal Scripture...?

Chapter 374, This Immortal Scripture seems a bit off!

Hearing Dongqing say that.

The female ant, Yu Niang, rolled her eyes and couldn't help but rub his jet-black hair. She said, "Xiao Qing, don't talk nonsense. This is a copy of the cultivation technique specially made by the clan leader to prevent the ant clan's inheritance from being accidentally cut off."

"The numerous cultivation technique copies in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion are comparable in quantity and quality to the inheritances of large holy lands in the Immortal Realm, and are the foundation upon which our Heavenly Horned Ant clan stands."

"Moreover, thanks to the good relationship between our Heavenly Horned Ant clan and the other Ten Fiend races, there are many Ten Fiend-level treasure techniques passed down deep inside the Cultivation Technique Pavilion. If you like, Xiao Qing, you can also learn the treasure techniques of the other Ten Fiend races."

As she said.

The Perfect World is currently in the Primordial Era, an era in which the Ten Fiends of the Primordial Era are vying for supremacy. Their relationship with each other is fairly good, and they even exchange Ten Fiend-level magical techniques.

The Creation Era [At the dawn of the Perfect World, a fifth-step supreme being, in pursuit of a higher realm, sacrificed everything, but ultimately failed. Desperate, he immolated himself, placing his ashes in an urn, then into a three-life bronze coffin he had crafted himself, and burying it atop the terrifying plateau.]

The Bizarre Era [Ten powerful figures ventured into the Terrifying Plateau. Inadvertently tainted themselves with ashes and the plateau's atmosphere, they transformed into darkness, becoming the ten progenitors of the Bizarre Clan. All ten progenitors were Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses. They created the Otherworld, and from then on, the bizarre and ominous began to slowly descend upon the Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths within the Perfect World.]

The Era of Fallen Emperors [An unknown powerhouse was born in the Immortal Realm, but during his breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, he was unexpectedly ambushed by two or more Immortal Emperors from a strange race, causing him to be corrupted by primordial black blood and become the Corpse Immortal Emperor of later generations.]

In the Immortal Ancient Era, the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit of the Immortal Realm was born. Liu Shen, an unparalleled Immortal King-level giant, single-handedly entered the alien world, making nine incursions and nine exits, striking fear into the hearts of all the alien kings.

In the ancient times, the Eastern Azure Dragon descended... The future is currently unknown.

In the chaotic ancient era, Shi Hao was born... the undisputed future Desolate Emperor.

...............

"Um... forget it! I haven't even started learning the Heavenly Horned Ant Treasure Technique from my own bloodline inheritance yet, so I won't learn the other ten fierce-level treasure techniques."

Dong Qing shook his head, rejecting this very tempting offer. He wasn't some Murong Fu from the world of Tianlong, who liked to bite off more than he could chew. He thought it was better to do things one at a time.

It's better to specialize in one skill than to know a hundred.

"Yes, Xiaoqing, it's a good thing that you think this way. When learning something, the worst thing is to be half-hearted." The female ant, Yu Niang, nodded with satisfaction.

After saying that, she gently waved her jade hand, and an ancient jade stone flew out from the vast sea of ​​cultivation scrolls and landed directly in her palm.

Upon closer inspection, this immortal scripture has a white jade-like surface and shines with seven-colored light. Three words are crookedly engraved on it: "Immortal Scripture".

"Yu Niang, is this the Undying Scripture you mentioned? If you cultivate it to the fifth level within three thousand years, can you change the situation where your soul is about to shatter?" Dong Qing asked with a curious expression.

“Xiao Qing, with your talent, it’s not difficult for you to cultivate to the fifth level, but… this Douluo world might not be able to support you,” said the female ant Yu Niang softly.

"It's alright. Once I reach the peak of the first stage, which is the Venerable realm of the Perfect Great World, I can use the Sky-Piercing Shuttle to travel to other worlds to continue my growth," Dong Qing said, shrugging.

[The first step: starting at the Blood Transformation Realm, stopping at the Venerable Realm.]

Compared to the Perfect World and the complex realm divisions of other great universes, the master recognition information inherited from the Sky Shuttle [Detailed Explanation of Life Levels in the Endless Chaos Sea] is much simpler.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps, six steps... Just six realms are enough to encompass all the realms of the myriad worlds and the endless starry sea.

"Which world does Xiaoqing plan to visit first?" the female ant Yu Niang asked curiously.

Seeing the curious gaze of the female ant Yu Niang, Dong Qing scratched the back of his head in confusion and said, "I don't know. The Great Primordial World we are in now has hundreds of millions of internal worlds. To be on the safe side, let's try going to a world that is slightly higher in level than the Douluo World when the time is right."

Dong Qing really doesn't know which world he'll go to in the future, and... thinking about these things now is a bit premature, since he hasn't even conquered the Douluo God Realm yet.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Now that the Sky-Piercing Shuttle has appeared ahead of schedule and has taken the initiative to recognize you as its master, Xiaoqing, why don't you try to cultivate the Undying Scripture now?"

After speaking, the female ant Yu Niang handed the Undying Scripture in her hand to Dong Qing. However, when this jade scroll, which shone with seven-colored light, came into contact with Dong Qing, its seven-colored light shone brightly and it actively merged into his soul sea.

"Yu Niang... what is this?" Dong Qing asked in surprise.

He couldn't help but be surprised that in such a short time, not only did the Sky-Piercing Shuttle actively merge into his soul sea, but the Immortal Scripture also merged into his soul sea.

"The cultivation techniques in the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion are all copies, except for the Undying Scripture, which is the original. It was created by heaven and earth and actively merged into your soul sea, Xiao Qing, which means you are qualified to cultivate it," explained the female ant Jade Maiden.

The Undying Scripture was created by the perfect world and heaven and earth, not by humans. It is the most suitable cultivation method for humanoid beings. In the Immortal Ancient Era, it was fortunately obtained by the Heavenly Horned Ants.

Other races who forcibly cultivate the Undying Scripture are limited by their physical constitution, resulting in less effective results and a higher risk of mishaps.

Of course, there are always those with extraordinary talent who can adapt to cultivating the Undying Scripture, but... the physique of the Ten Fierce-level Heavenly Horned Ants is the most suitable for cultivating the Undying Scripture.

As for why the Immortal Scripture is the original version, it was due to the selfishness of the Heavenly Horned Ant. After thinking it over, he still felt that it was safest to keep the original Immortal Scripture with Dongqing.

Deep down, the old horned ant always felt that an invisible crisis was looming over the horned ant race, as if at some point in the future, the crisis of extinction would strike unexpectedly.

The various immortal kings in the Immortal Realm were all scheming against each other, while the immortal kings in the other realms were all working together. This was something he had never been able to understand.

Could it be that... beings from other realms are inherently more united than those from our Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?

.........

"This Immortal Scripture is quite powerful!" Dongqing exclaimed.

Now, within Dongqing's soul sea, in a boundless, endless expanse of azure blue, suddenly, the azure sky cracked open once more.

The Immortal Sutra, radiating seven-colored light, landed on the azure sea. Not long after, the Immortal Sutra voluntarily withdrew its seven-colored light and drifted leisurely into the azure sky.

As the seven-colored radiance subsided, an invisible fluctuation flashed by, and then the Undying Scripture transformed into a pale golden fireball, releasing a soft light within Dongqing's soul sea.

This gentle light nourished Dongqing's soul, causing him to surge into a state of blissful ecstasy.
