Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

Loran has now put aside his cultivation progress. Compared to the so-called mysteries of heaven and man, the secrets of divine blood are more attractive to Loran's heartstrings.

He intends to decipher all the mysteries contained within these divine blood particles, and then combine them with the wisdom of other worlds to forge an incomparably powerful divine body for himself.

Chapter 42 Martial Soul: Newcomer

"What were you thinking? You actually possessed that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang?"

Inside the "Hehua Zizaitian" world, Urban Loran looked at the newcomer Loran with some confusion. A newcomer had come to the last gathering of "Hehua Zizaitian". After logging in this time, everyone realized that the world he came from was the famous bottom tier of fantasy worlds - the Martial Soul World, and the timeline was still in Martial Soul I.

Unexpectedly, the newcomer Loran chose the famous "master" Yu Xiaogang as the target of his possession. At the time of the possession, Yu Xiaogang was being humiliated and scolded by his second uncle Yu Mian because of his cousin Liu Yilong.

"Putting aside his reputation, he is indeed an excellent candidate for possession, isn't he?" Martial Soul Loran didn't seem to mind.

"His temperament is extreme, he is easily manipulated, he is both insecure and arrogant, and it is very easy to break through his psychological defenses."

"His own martial spirit has extraordinary potential, and coupled with his extraordinary background, it is enough to provide me with a peaceful period of development in the early stages."

"Moreover, although his theories are useless and full of pseudo-scientific speculation, the data he collected and the many books he read in the Spirit Hall were not wasted."

While Martial Soul Loran was analyzing the advantages of possessing Yu Xiaogang with Urban Loran, Death God Loran focused his attention on the Martial Soul True Body Armor that Martial Soul Loran had created.

"Did you borrow this setting from the comic book version? I don't remember the novel version having this, right?"

When talking about his masterpiece, Martial Soul Loran became enthusiastic.

"Ever since I learned that I had come to the Martial Soul World, I have been pondering a question: Where exactly does soul power come from?"

He pointed to Hokage Loran, "Chakra, the magical energy created by the God Tree or the Otsutsuki clan, is a product of the balanced mixing of spiritual and physical energy."

He then pointed to the city of Loran, "True Qi was originally a product of refining essence into Qi, and then it transformed into Outer Qi, Spiritual Qi, and Primordial Qi, but in essence it is a product of the unity of essence, Qi, and spirit."

He then pointed to Death, Loran, and said, “Spiritual pressure, in Christianity, refers to the impact of angels on the soul after they descend into the material world as ‘spiritual pressure.’ In Death, spiritual pressure is the density of the soul, which is simply the power originating from the soul.”

Finally, he pointed back to himself, "So, where does soul power come from? Spirit? Definitely not. There is a clear division of spiritual power in Douluo Continent."

"Physical body? No, if it were only from the physical body, then Beast Soul Masters with stronger physical bodies would have an overwhelming advantage in soul power over Weapon Soul Masters. But that's not the case in reality."

"After extensive data analysis and experimental exploration, I can confirm that the Martial Soul is the source of Soul Power."

"But I still couldn't directly observe how a martial soul generates soul power, so I turned my attention to the native cultivation method of soul masters—meditation."

"What is meditation? The meditation methods in the Martial Soul World are not much different from those in the real world. They are both ways of cultivating oneself by adjusting one's state of consciousness and focusing on inner experiences to achieve integration of mind and body. However, the meditation in the Martial Soul World has a unique feature: it resonates with the Martial Soul and moves closer to it."

The martial spirit Loran spoke eloquently, displaying the demeanor of a scholar.

“Although we always say that the world of Martial Souls is a sewer of fantasy, you have to admit that Martial Souls are indeed a unique talent. As you all know, the divine power I have comprehended is called ‘Heavenly Demon Soul Stealing,’ which can intercept the source of life for one’s own use. Therefore, I conducted experiments on some Soul Beasts and Soul Masters.”

No one delved into the bloodshed hidden beneath the calm words of the martial soul Loran. When it came to life experiments, all the Lorans within the Heaven of Transformation were masters.

As for Naruto Loran, he is no exception in this world where human experimentation is rampant.

Loran, who lives in the urban world, has also experimented on many "protagonists of destiny." Murong Jin, the "protagonist" of the treasure appraisal and gambling series, and other divine blood hosts are still lying in his Li Group's secret laboratory.

Needless to say, the Grim Reaper Loran is now the subject of a rumor in Hueco Mundo that an extremely brutal Menos Grande has been born in the Forest of Menos Grande, with an unusually terrifying appetite and a habit of dragging his prey back to his lair to eat.

Martial Soul Loran continued to explain his discovery: "I discovered that martial souls can also breathe, and the breathing method of beast martial souls is extremely similar to that of soul beasts of the same kind."

Soul beasts can breathe oxygen through their noses, cheeks, and even pores, as well as the primordial energy of heaven and earth. This breathing method is an instinct passed down through the bloodline of soul beasts.

Beast Martial Souls, however, lack these organs, but possess extremely minute, almost invisible orifices. I only discovered these orifices using my powerful mental strength.

"The Martial Soul absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through these orifices to enhance its cultivation. Meditation is actually the integration of body and mind, allowing the body to move closer to and synchronize with the Martial Soul, joining the rhythm of the Martial Soul's breathing, and incorporating the spiritual energy unconsciously absorbed and exhaled by the Martial Soul into oneself, thereby achieving an increase in soul power."

"The so-called innate soul power is actually the soul power that is stored in a child's bloodline before the martial soul awakens. The martial soul drives the child to instinctively absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which accumulates in the body. Therefore, the higher the innate soul power, the stronger the martial soul and the higher the efficiency of absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, just like the stronger a person is, the more powerful their breathing will be."

"I think the reason why Tang Buddha has innate full soul power is because the 'Mysterious Heaven Skill' replaced this martial soul instinct breathing method, which carried out the absorption and expulsion of vital energy more efficiently, thus creating pseudo-innate full soul power."

"The reason why Tang Buddha's cultivation speed can catch up with those true geniuses is actually thanks to the 'Mysterious Heaven Technique'. After all, the instinctive breathing method of martial souls still comes from soul beasts. In XX Continent 3, it is said that the origin of beast martial souls on the martial soul continent is the blood pollution from the Dragon Fall War. No matter how advanced this breathing method is, it is not suitable for the human body and cannot compare to the 'Mysterious Heaven Technique' which was specially created for humans."

"As for weapon spirits..." Martial Spirit Loran's tone shifted, expressing confusion.

"I think weapon spirits and beast spirits should have different origins, but as for the specific differences, I think we can find the answer from that snake-man douluo who has the characteristics of both weapon spirits and beast spirits."

"My creative Martial Soul True Body Armor also draws inspiration from his Snake-Mao Martial Soul, while possessing the characteristics of both Beast Martial Soul and Weapon Martial Soul. I extracted the essence of a Soul Beast with Dragon Bloodline to feed Luo SP, and consciously restrained Luo SP's evolution using the Spirit Particle Forging Technique of Death God Loran. Using Soul Bones as the base of the armor, I combined it with Luo SP to form this Golden Sacred Dragon Armor with the biological characteristics of a Golden Sacred Dragon."

"It wasn't until the Golden Sacred Dragon Armor was born that I truly realized the real difference between Beast Martial Souls and Weapon Martial Souls. The nature of Beast Martial Souls is closer to that of Soul Beasts, while the nature of Weapon Martial Souls is closer to that of Soul Weapons."

"So you've been obsessed with researching Soul D Devices lately?" Naruto Loran asked, slumped on the sofa that appeared in his own spatial dimension.

Urban Loran reviewed the Soul D device knowledge passed down from Martial Soul Loran and said, "Does the Soul D device seem like the same thing as electronic components? The array eye is the power source and capacitor, the soul power circuit is the wire, the core array is the integrated circuit, the runes are the logic circuit, the dot matrix is ​​the transistor, and the array edge is like the I/O interface for interacting with the outside world."

“That’s right!” Martial Soul Loran gave a thumbs up. “Soul power is a unique energy of living beings, while the base of the Soul D weapon is made of inanimate objects such as metal. The essence of the Soul D weapon and the weapon Martial Soul is the same. It is an extremely sophisticated ‘bio-energy electronic system’.”

Therefore, I dare say that the birth of weapon spirits is either the result of divine intervention, or related to the lost era of soul tools in ancient times, or both.

"The appearance of weapon spirits is later than that of beast spirits, and it is very likely that it is an imitation of beast spirits."

"The wisdom of our ancestors is truly admirable! The world today is nothing but a bunch of fools." Martial Soul Loran was very disdainful of the current state of Soul Masters.

Urban Loran scratched his head and asked, "So that's why you've been going on all sorts of archaeological expeditions lately?"

Wuhun Luolan shrugged and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. The inheritance of Soul Weapons has been severed too cleanly, and the Soul Master world is also intentionally or unintentionally resisting the development of Soul Weapons. The Sun and Moon Continent is not as developed as the Martial Soul Continent. If you want to obtain truly advanced knowledge of Soul Weapons, you can only search for it in those ancient ruins buried in the dust."

“Archaeology is replacing scientific research, machinery is replacing the physical body, and weapon spirits are machine spirits. You’re not going to create a mechanical god cult and then create a godhood called Om Messiah, are you?” Death God Loran complained. In his eyes, this version of himself from the spirit world seemed to have already put on a red robe, held a gear scepter, and sang a binary hymn.

Martial Soul Loran thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Not bad, this idea is pretty cool! Creating a godhood, huh? Isn't my Om Messiah more prestigious than the Harpoon God?"

Chapter 43 Martial Soul: Forming the Core

Back in the Spirit World, Loran resumed his archaeological work. Hearing that the Barbarossa Duchy of the Tianxing Empire had discovered an ancient ruin that had attracted many Spirit Masters, he also prepared to explore it. However, before that, he leveled up.

Now, Luo SP has been completely transformed by him and no longer resembles its original form. This set of life armor, which is based on the Golden Sacred Dragon after it has evolved by incorporating a large amount of the essence of dragon-type soul beasts, uses soul bones as armor, and combines the characteristics of soul weapons and weapon spirits, can be called the "Golden Sacred Dragon Armor".

This is a full suit of armor, its entire surface seemingly cast from molten gold. The armor is layered like dragon scales, with blue lightning patterns on the surface and blue-purple arcs of electricity flowing around the edges. This is a manifestation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus bloodline within Yu Xiaogang's body.

The helmet's twin horns spiral upwards, winding like the remains of an ancient dragon. A rhombus-shaped crystal core is embedded in the center of the breastplate, sealing within the phantom of a golden holy dragon. As the dragon's shadow moves, ripples appear on the surface of the crystal core, as if imprisoning a violent golden ocean.

Its carapace spreads out six wings, the wing bones as jagged as ancient swords, like the wing blades of the Sky Comet Dragon.

The membrane wings are as transparent as glass, and when they are contracted, they form a honeycomb-shaped array of cannons with the keel.

A metal dragon tail hangs from its tail, which hardens into a triangular siege hammer when it transforms into its new form. The gauntlets have dragon claw sheaths, which are normally metal claw-like sheaths, and when clenched into a fist, the five fingers come together to form a blade.

When this armor was donned, Loran resembled a humanoid golden dragon, the sacred majesty of the dragon and the murderous ferocity of the weapon perfectly harmonized in this golden dragon armor.

However, that wasn't enough. When Loran first crafted this Golden Holy Dragon Armor, Lo SP had only just evolved, and the soul bones he used were at most at the level of ten thousand-year soul bones. The metal he used was only thousand-times-forged metal (above which there are spirit forging, soul forging, and heaven forging), and his soul weapon technology was not very advanced.

Therefore, the Golden Holy Dragon Armor, which appears incredibly powerful and majestic to outsiders, is nothing more than a flashy but impractical and crude work of art in Loran's eyes.

With this armor, Loran used the "Heavenly Demon Soul Stealing" technique to collect more essence and obtain higher-level soul bones, including one that was over 80,000 years old.

His soul tool technology has made great progress. Loran even went to Gengjin City to learn from him. He has now reached the spirit forging level, which gives metal a certain degree of vitality.

He specially sought out some deep-sea sunken silver and blue-tinged copper, which, after being forged and tempered by spirit, were fused with soul bones to form a brand-new golden holy dragon armor.

As for his own soul power level?

Since Loran created the Golden Sacred Dragon Armor, a unique entity that possesses characteristics of both beast and weapon spirits, as well as the special features of a Soul D weapon, the traditional Soul Master system has been unable to measure it.

Loran's mental strength was extremely powerful. By the standards of the Douluo system, it was equivalent to an ordinary Divine Origin Realm cultivator who surpassed the Limit Douluo. Therefore, he initially planned to create his own Yuan Dan method by referring to the Soul Core method that appeared in version 2.0.

The so-called soul core is an energy core formed by a soul master compressing liquid soul power into a solid state and storing it in their dantian. It is a prerequisite for those at the title level and above. However, in version 3.0, with the advancement of spiritual power cultivation, soul saints can begin to condense soul cores.

The benefits of a soul core are immense. By rotating, it absorbs external soul power, accelerating soul power recovery and providing sustained combat endurance. Furthermore, it enhances the quality of soul power; the density of soul power in a solid soul core far exceeds that in a liquid state, multiplying the power of soul skills.

But to be honest, in the eyes of the city of Loran, the Soul Core is still too crude.

Lin Xiao's martial arts path in the city follows the path of true qi transformation step by step, from true qi below the fourth grade to the outer qi of a minor grandmaster, then to the spiritual qi of the second grade, and finally to the primordial qi of the first grade. The realm of the celestial being may have even more mysterious qi, and Li Dalu's "King Yama's Nightly Letter" contains methods for refining qi and improving its quality.

The Martial Soul Loran drew upon the martial arts wisdom of the Urban Loran, and inspired by the Yuan Dan from "Martial Universe," created the Soul Power Yuan Dan. Absorbing Yin Sha Qi and Yang Gang Qi, it optimized the Soul Core into a more refined Yuan Dan structure.

As for where to gather Qi, Loran also had an idea: the Ice and Fire Eye, the place where Tang Buddha started his business and a must-visit spot on the Martial Soul Continent that countless fanfiction protagonists drooled over.

Loran had been lying in wait in Sunset Forest for some time, and had found the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. After confirming that Dugu had left, he confidently infiltrated the forest.

The poison array left by Dugu was nothing to a medical expert like Luo Lan, and initially, Luo Lan only wanted to make a deal with Dugu.

However, this guy was too arrogant. When the deal fell through, he tried to use force to intimidate people, so he was captured by Loran and refined into a puppet.

Loran sat cross-legged on the shore of the Ice and Fire Eye. He directly picked the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice, intending to extract the essence of these two extremely yang and extremely cold herbs to forge the most perfect and powerful Yuan Dan.

Loran channeled his soul power, enveloping the two highly poisonous herbs. He formed a hand seal, as if subjected to immense pressure, causing the herbs to rapidly decay.

The fire and cold toxins released by the two herbs began to erode the soul power. Loran carefully used the medical ninjutsu of the Naruto world, the Fine-Disease Extraction Technique, to absorb the toxins and then separated the corroded soul power.

The corrosive soul power, carrying deadly poison, landed on the nearby grass. Some areas of the ground were frozen solid, while others began to turn scorched black. Parts of the soil, along with the vegetation above, were directly corroded and penetrated, demonstrating the ferocity and terror of the toxin.

The pure Yang and Yin Qi from the herbs were extracted by Loran and introduced into his body. He hurriedly activated the "Soul Power Yuan Dan Method 1.0" that he had created for himself. His soul power began to gather, rotate and compress in his lower dantian. The Yang and Yin Qi were like carving knives in the hands of a master craftsman, carving out a better structure for the soul core that was about to be born.

Soul power, Yin energy, and Yang energy merged in the lower dantian. After an hour, a primordial elixir, which had been in a state of chaos, finally took shape.

"Armor fusion!"

Loran summoned the Golden Holy Dragon Armor and felt the increased power within himself.

In terms of the quality of his soul power, he is no less than that of a current Title Douluo, and even surpasses him due to the superiority of the Chaos Yuan Dan.

In terms of total soul power, it has also entered the threshold of Title Douluo, and the Golden Sacred Dragon Armor itself can store soul power.

In other words, apart from not having nine Soul Orbs, in terms of Soul Power cultivation, Loran is already a genuine title holder.

As for spirit rings? Loran didn't want to add spirit rings to the Golden Sacred Dragon Armor; he didn't need them.

Soul Masters add Soul Spheres to their Martial Souls for three main purposes:

Firstly, in order to break through the bottleneck in cultivation;

Secondly, in order to add soul skills;

Thirdly, in order to integrate the essence of the soul beast into the martial soul, allowing the martial soul to evolve.

Loran has already transcended the traditional Soul Master system, and therefore no longer faces the so-called Soul Master bottleneck.

Loran's "Heavenly Demon Soul Stealing" divine ability is far more efficient at plundering the essence of soul beasts than adding soul orbs, and the evolution of Loran's martial soul does not solely depend on the essence of soul beasts.

As for soul skills? Loran has no intention of adding any soul skills for himself. According to his research, while adding soul circles would give a soul master an extra skill, it would lock the changes in soul power.

After arriving on the Spirit Continent, Loran discovered a phenomenon: acquired or self-created spirit skills were extremely rare, even for those with titles.

The original owner of Luo Lan's body, Yu Dagang, had seen a lot of things; Title Douluo were commonplace for him. Luo Lan himself had also observed battles between Soul Douluo and even Title Douluo in order to collect experimental data.

He discovered that the higher one's cultivation level, the more skillful one becomes in controlling one's soul power, but the more rigid the changes in soul power become.

What are so-called soul skills? They are actually a form of external manifestation of soul power through the vessel of the martial soul.

The changes in soul power are locked onto the path of soul ring skills by the soul ring. This results in the soul skills granted by the soul ring being powerful, but depriving the soul master of the opportunity to learn acquired soul skills or create their own soul skills.

However, spirit rings are essential for spirit masters, which is why self-created spirit skills are so rare in Douluo Continent.

Even if it's a self-created soul skill, it's often an improvement on an existing soul skill, such as the Gale Wolf's xxx combo.

The Soul Rings both empower and constrain Soul Masters. A Soul Master is weakest when they have no Soul Rings, but also at their most promising.

Loran reasonably guessed that the cultivation after being granted a title, especially the cultivation after becoming a super, is actually a gradual unsealing of the changes in soul power. The closer one gets to the realm of godhood, the less constraint the Soul Circle has on the soul master.

Tang Chen may have discovered this point when he created the technique of exploding rings. After becoming a titled Douluo, exploding rings from time to time is beneficial to cultivation and can help to break the seal.

But who is Loran? A total cheat!

He decided to go all the way and simply not be bound by spirit rings from the very beginning.

He created all his own soul skills. Putting aside the skills shared by his good brothers, if you look at Douluo Continent from a different perspective, aren't the so-called Soul Perfection Soul Skills just alternative bloodline supernatural powers?

From this perspective, it means that there are a bunch of supernatural ability templates on the mainland waiting for Loran to learn. As long as he analyzes how these soul skills work, wouldn't that be equivalent to learning a whole bunch of magic and supernatural abilities?

It seems that my great Loran is going to add another title to the holy name of Om Messiah—"The True Lord Who Controls All Laws".

Chapter 44 Martial Soul: Encounter on the Road

After cultivating his Yuan Dan, Luo Lan casually took away the immortal herbs that had been touted as heavenly from the Ice and Fire Eye—such as Qi Luo xx Fragrance, Qi Rong xx Chrysanthemum, and Earth Dragon Golden Melon, etc.—as he intended to use them to refine medicine.

I heard in my past life that there was a rumor that the Asura God was monitoring this place with his divine sense, and only the Buddha Tang could benefit from it.

Anyway, Loran didn't see any of that Shura divine sense, so the immortal herb that would really make the Seven Devils take off was gone. I wonder what kind of cheat code the plot might give the main characters.

After concluding his journey with the Eye of Ice and Fire, Loran prepared to proceed with his archaeological work at the ancient ruins of the Principality of Barbarossa, as planned. The path of Om Messiah's great undertaking will continue.

While dining at a restaurant in the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, he unexpectedly encountered a couple—Tang Hao and Ah Yin, a grass demon who had transformed into human form 100,000 years ago, who were the adoptive parents of the protagonist, Tang Buddha.

"Is Blue Silver Emperor pregnant?" Looking at Silver's large belly, Loran frowned almost imperceptibly.

With his cultivation level comparable to a titled master and his spiritual realm surpassing all limits, he could naturally see through the Blue Silver Emperor's true form at a glance. She was already very close to maturity; an ordinary titled master might not even be able to detect her true form.
