Douluo Continent: The Angel of the Dead, Shrek's Revenge

"Please come with me, gentlemen."

Qin Chuan sprouted three pairs of gray-gold wings on his back and flew towards the depths of the forest.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Thousand Daoliu exchanged a glance, then both took a step forward, closely following Qin Chuan's steps.

Before long, Qin Chuan led the two to the core area.

Before me lies a beautiful lake, its clear spring water a deep blue and pristine. Towering trees surround the area, completely enveloping it in a thin mist, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, and his mind immediately became clear. His soul power circulated faster and faster, and his body felt comfortable and relaxed. His eyes shone, and he exclaimed, "Such rich life essence! Is this the place you described as the location of the Gold of Life?"

"I have a celestial herb here called the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. With the help of the environment here, it should be able to help Grandpa Golden Crocodile break through level ninety-nine and even condense a second soul core."

Golden Crocodile Douluo did not refuse. The future enemy was very powerful, and his condensation of a second soul core to break through to level 99 would be of great use to Qin Chuan.

At that moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo swallowed the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma in one gulp, and combined it with the method of condensing dual soul cores that Bibi Dong had taken from Shrek Academy, and began to experiment.

At the same time, a deep dragon roar resounded.

Qian Daoliu and Qin Chuan looked back and saw two fire dragons circling in the sky, their enormous size inspiring awe.

"They are the guardians of this world, two fire dragons born from a volcano."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he and Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged and began to cultivate, taking advantage of the special environment of the place.

Meanwhile, in the main world, during the era of the Peerless Tang Sect.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is still in full swing.

"Strange? Why didn't Qin Chuan come today?" Bei Bei's words drew the attention of the others.

"He really didn't come. Could it be that he's scared?" Xu Sanshi sneered repeatedly, his eyes full of disdain.

"We must not underestimate him; he may be prepared." Dai Yueheng's tone was calm, but the chilling aura in his words was unmistakable.

Zhou Yi clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention back: "Alright everyone, our opponent today, Zheng Tian Academy, is very strong..."

While Zhou Yi was busy arranging tactics, Xu Jiawei on the city wall was also busy listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Qin Chuan has announced his seclusion. Because there is a Super Douluo in the room, I dare not approach him."

Xu Jiawei scoffed, "How much improvement can one achieve by going into seclusion at this time? It's just last-minute cramming. How's Dai Hao doing?"

"Marshal Dai Hao personally led troops into the Mingdou Mountains to search for the whereabouts of the evil soul master together with Deans Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er of Shrek Academy. The result was very disappointing. The evil soul master seemed to have vanished into thin air and was nowhere to be found. Not a single clue was discovered."

"The evil soul master has killed four inner court students of Shrek Academy. They will definitely not let this go. Inform Duke White Tiger that if he still hasn't found him by the finals, then forget it. Take some time to watch Dai Yueheng's match."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A battle was about to break out in Xingluo Square, and everyone's eyes were on it.

For the next five days, Qin Chuan did not appear again; his room was tightly closed, indicating that he was truly in seclusion.

Shrek Academy seemed to have deliberately forgotten about Qin Chuan, preferring to ignore him and pretend he didn't exist.

In reality, it was not so. Each of them harbored a burning anger ignited by Qin Chuan, just waiting to be grouped with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the subsequent quarterfinals.

At that time, kill Qin Chuan first, even if we lose, we must make sure Qin Chuan dies without a burial place.

Let the world see the consequences of going against Shrek Academy.

Five days later, the Great World of the Dead.

An astonishing surge of soul power erupted in the core area of ​​the primeval forest, and a golden crocodile king soared into the sky, its golden scales gleaming, with two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul rings spinning rapidly on its body.

Golden Crocodile Douluo unleashed astonishing combat power, standing on the clear pool water. Even though he tried to restrain himself as much as possible, the commotion from his breakthrough was still quite significant.

"Big brother, I've broken through!" Golden Crocodile Douluo was overjoyed and showed an excited smile to Qian Daoliu and Qin Chuan.

"Not bad." Qian Daoliu patted Golden Crocodile Douluo on the shoulder. His second brother's breakthrough meant that the Spirit Hall had three Limit Douluo powerhouses. Looking at the present era or the world ten thousand years from now, no force could match them.

On the sixth day, Qin Chuan and Golden Crocodile Douluo left the Spirit Hall and arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well on the seventh day.

Since Dugu Bo's death, this place has been deserted. The outer perimeter is protected by the Death Spider Emperor Poison Array set up by Bibi Dong, which kills any soul beasts or soul masters who venture in.

With his immense strength, Golden Crocodile Douluo carved out a path leading to the interior.

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, I've come again."

Qin Chuan looked at the distinct red and blue pools of water in front of him, then turned to Golden Crocodile Douluo and said, "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, wait for me here. I'll go down and come right back."

"Go ahead, I'll watch from here." Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, then watched Qin Chuan leap down.

"Puff-"

Qin Chuan was like a fish entering the sea, with ripples spreading across the surface, yet the entire valley was eerily quiet.

All Qin Chuan could see was darkness. He used the "protection" of the million-year-old mountain dragon king's torso to perfectly isolate himself from the outside world, letting the earth-yellow sphere envelop him and sink into the deepest part of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

The deeper you go, the darker it gets, so deep it's unsettling.

The depth of the pool was unknown. Qin Chuan looked up and watched as the sunlight above him was gradually swallowed by darkness. In the end, there was nothing around him except for the gurgling sound of the water flowing in his ears.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chuan finally stepped onto the muddy ground. When he could barely make out what was in front of him, the scene before him truly shocked him.

Two enormous dragon corpses lay across the front, maintaining their postures from life, standing tall even though they had perished countless years ago.

The fall of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King ultimately led to the creation of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"After so many years of silence, it's time to get moving."

Qin Chuan had a red dragon shadow in each of his hands; those were the souls of the two fire dragons that guarded the Great World of the Dead.

There is no doubt that dragons are the strongest soul beasts.

The Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King before him were among the legendary Nine Dragon Kings. Qin Chuan's purpose in coming here was simple.

He intends to command the two Dragon Kings to become the guardian dragons of the undead world, making them one of the main forces in the future to fight against and destroy Shrek Academy.

As we all know, soul beasts will produce soul bones after they die. Although the probability is extremely small, powerful beings like the Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King will definitely drop soul bones.

Qin Chuan placed the two dragon souls to the side, his left and right hands respectively covered in silver and gold dragon scales.

At this moment, the bodies of the two dragon kings moved unconsciously, and the entire valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was located trembled.

"What's the young master up to now?" Golden Crocodile Douluo stood on the cliff, gazing calmly at the rippling pool below.

From the moment he first saw the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Golden Crocodile Douluo realized that this place was extraordinary.

Just as Golden Crocodile Douluo predicted, Qin Chuan, who was at the bottom of the pool, was facing the greatest opportunity of his life.

Two soul bones flew out from the dragon corpse, the left arm of the Water Dragon King and the right arm of the Fire Dragon King.

"The left arm bone of the Water Dragon King and the right arm bone of the Fire Dragon King." Qin Chuan was overjoyed upon seeing this, and then quickly sent the two dragon souls into the space between the eyebrows of the two dragon kings.

Only when Qin Chuan was surrounded by the earthen-yellow soul power shield formed by the bones of the Mountain Dragon King was he able to resist the water pressure from the depths of the pool.

"My current soul power is level 43. These two soul bones should help me break through to level 50."

Qin Chuan wasted no more time; improving his strength was the top priority right now, as the battle with Shrek Academy was imminent.

The left arm bone of the Water Dragon King and the right arm bone of the Fire Dragon King pierced through the earthen-yellow barrier and attached themselves to Qin Chuan's left and right arms respectively, merging into Qin Chuan's bones and becoming one with him.

"Shrek Academy, your end has come." Qin Chuan closed his eyes and began absorbing the soul bone.

Chapter 57 The Dragon Guardian of the Undead World

"Rongrong, you must not reveal that you are a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School when you go out this time."

"Dad, don't worry, your daughter will make something of herself. By the way, where are Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone? Why didn't they come to see me off?"

The pretty young girl turned around and looked into the deepest part of the sect. Apart from the ordinary disciples on guard, she didn't see the two most important people in Ning Rongrong's heart.

"Your Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa are both busy with their own things. You'll be able to see them when Rongrong returns after completing her studies."

While the gentle and refined Ning Fengzhi said this, he secretly hoped that Ning Rongrong would leave as soon as possible. If either of the two people mentioned above discovered her, she would not be able to leave.

Suddenly, the small pebbles on the ground began to tremble, and Ning Rongrong cried out "Ouch!" and lost her footing, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"What exactly happened?"

Was there an earthquake?

"I don't know, the whole castle is shaking."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was violently shaken, with buildings collapsing one after another, and the disciples were in chaos.

Ning Fengzhi held Ning Rongrong tightly in his arms, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and looked back at Tiandou City.

Not only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but also the Heavenly Dou City, which is not far from here, was affected.

This sudden earthquake came and went quickly, lasting only a few seconds before stopping.

Even so, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Heavenly Dou City suffered heavy losses, with many buildings collapsing and a considerable number of casualties.

"Rongrong, as you can see, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School isn't safe right now, you'd better hurry..."

Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, a cold yet mocking voice came from behind: "How is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School unsafe with me and that bitch? And you, Fengzhi, why are you driving Rongrong away like this? Do you have some unspeakable secret?"

Ning Fengzhi felt utterly disheartened. He had finally managed to send Ning Rongrong out for training during their sparring session, hoping to temper the little devil's temper, but this sudden earthquake had disrupted everything.

After this incident, it seems that sending Ning Rongrong away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School next time will be fraught with difficulties.

"But then again, how did this earthquake happen?" Ning Fengzhi asked, looking at Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

"The epicenter was in Sunset Forest; something big must have happened there," Gu Rong said, looking towards the direction of Sunset Forest.

……

In the heart of Sunset Forest stands a towering mountain peak, its interior a hollowed-out valley, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The fiery red and icy blue waters of the pool intertwine, yet remain distinct and separate, without encroaching upon each other.

Above the pool, Qin Chuan sat cross-legged. After a day and a night of cultivation, he had absorbed both Dragon King Soul Bones and his soul power had successfully broken through to level fifty.

Normally, it would take some time to absorb it, but the special environment here, along with the scorching Yangquan spring and the cold pool water, helped Qin Chuan a lot.

"Hoohoho-"

"Waaaaah—"

Two deep dragon roars echoed from the bottom of the pool, soon fading into silence.

Qin Chuan opened his eyes, looked at the astonished Golden Crocodile Douluo, and smiled slightly: "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, don't worry, I just woke up two sleeping giants."

Currently, the bodies of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King have been occupied by two fire dragons born from the World of the Dead. They have now been summoned back to the World of the Dead by Qin Chuan and have become the guardian dragons of the World of the Dead.

Golden Crocodile Douluo gave a bitter smile: "Wherever you go, there will be no peace. The commotion just now was quite significant; I'm afraid the Heaven Dou City has already taken notice."

"So what if we noticed? We're leaving anyway."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he replied to the system.

In an instant, the black hole swallowed the figures of Qin Chuan and Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the two disappeared without a trace.

The scene shifts to Qin Chuan's room.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qin Chuan reappeared. After eight days apart, the two returned to the era of Peerless Tang Sect.

Qin Chuan walked to the curtains, lifted a small gap with his fingers, and looked at the western sky dyed red by the sunset. The red sun, like a raging fire, was slowly sinking in the west.

"It's time."

After Golden Crocodile Douluo confirmed that no one was outside, Qin Chuan used a face mask to change his appearance and carefully walked out of the room, while also re-hanging the sign that read "In seclusion, please do not disturb".

Night falls.

Because of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, Star Luo City was even more lively at night than during the day.

Qin Chuan walked through the crowd, stroking an invitation to a top-tier auction in his hand. This was the invitation that Gui Mei had just delivered.

The top-tier auction is held twice a year at the Starlight Auction House, attracting only the wealthy and powerful. The auction items are exceptionally abundant, with level seven or eight soul tools and ten-thousand-year soul bones being commonplace.

What Qin Chuan was most interested in at this top-tier auction was the ninth and final item, the Investiture of the Gods Platform.

That's 690,000 Snow Retribution Points, another huge gift package following the million-year Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Hello sir, please show me your invitation."

Qin Chuan presented an invitation to a top-tier auction.

"Honorable guest from the Soul Palace, please come this way."

Just as Qin Chuan was about to follow the waiter inside, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Top-tier auctions are usually held once or twice a year. This time, the Empire specially held it during the break of the Soul Master Competition, so there must be a lot of good stuff inside." Dai Yueheng put his hands behind his back. As the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, he was an incomparably dazzling presence both on the field and in the crowd.
