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

"In other words, the host must protect the soul beasts like the Dragon God, ensuring they are never exterminated by humans. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

Qin Chuan: "...Dragon God? You overestimate me."

What Qin Chuan didn't know was that from the moment he chose the right palm bone of the Golden Dragon King and the left palm bone of the Silver Dragon King, he was able to use the soul bone fusion skill "Dragon God's Descent" and possessed the unique Dragon God scale on his chest.

Qin Chuan's subconscious has gradually shifted towards "protecting the soul beasts".

The creation of the World of the Dead, and Qin Chuan's subsequent idea of ​​wiping out all the soul beasts in the Douluo Continent, were all influenced by that Dragon God Scale.

Qin Chuan's achievements today were destined from the moment he chose the Golden Dragon King's palm bone.

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said casually, "I already had the idea of ​​moving all the soul beasts in the Douluo Continent, so this is a piece of cake for me."

Without saying a word, Qin Chuan spent a million points of revenge to exchange for a million-year-old Emperor Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion head soul bone.

Current revenge value: 3562500

The moment this soul bone appeared, a mysterious and profound pull inexplicably arose in Qin Chuan's heart, causing him to tremble with fear. At the same time, the dragon god scale on his chest was shimmering with a seven-colored halo.

The World of the Dead is a complete world, independent of the Douluo Continent. If what is happening to Qin Chuan were to happen on the Douluo Continent, the one far away in the Star Dou Great Forest might awaken prematurely.

The soul bone from the head of the million-year-old imperial auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, transformed into golden light and merged into Qin Chuan's head. He felt his mind become clear and relaxed like never before.

Drawn by this wondrous feeling, Qin Chuan closed his eyes and silently began to absorb the million-year-old head soul bone of the Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

……

When Ma Xiaotao awoke, she had successfully absorbed four 100,000-year-old soul bones, completing the collection of all six major soul bones in the human body. Her soul power had also increased to level 80, allowing her to break through to the Soul Douluo level. All she needed was a crucial eighth soul ring.

"What's wrong with Qin Chuan?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at Qin Chuan in surprise.

Qin Chuan was enveloped in a seven-colored radiance, all originating from his chest.

Ma Xiaotao didn't dare to go forward and disturb him, so she sat quietly to the side and waited for Qin Chuan to wake up.

This wait lasted for seven days and seven nights.

Ma Xiaotao drinks water when she's hungry and when she's thirsty.

The streams flowing through the world of the dead originate from the Fountain of Life, Qin Chuan told her, so there's no need to worry about food here.

Sometimes Ma Xiaotao would think how wonderful it would be if Qin Chuan weren't an enemy.

But Qin Chuan is an enemy, an enemy of Shrek Academy, and even more so, an enemy of Ma Xiaotao.

From the moment Qin Chuan killed Dai Yueheng, Xi Xi, and Chen Zifeng, it was destined that Ma Xiaotao would never reconcile with Qin Chuan. Even after becoming his maid, the hatred in Ma Xiaotao's heart did not diminish in the slightest.

But it is precisely this contradictory mentality that makes Qin Chuan enjoy it.

Guangling Douluo laughed at Qin Chuan's perverse sense of humor. In fact, whether or not Tang Ya was rescued was irrelevant, but it was this perverse sense of humor that sustained Qin Chuan through the eight years he had lost his loved ones.

This was his interest, and also Qin Chuan's only pleasure in passing the time.

In this world without cell phones, computers, or Wi-Fi, Qin Chuan even wanted to create a Soul Guide Cell Phone, but current technology simply couldn't do it.

Qin Chuan slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Ma Xiaotao's burning gaze fixed on him.

"Is there something on my face?"

Ma Xiaotao shook her head: "No."

"Then look at me."

"Your face has no flowers, yet it shines."

Qin Chuan looked at Ma Xiaotao suspiciously, then asked, "Do you believe in light?"

"I do not believe."

"why?"

"If there is light, why is my life so dark?"

"Xiao Tao, why did you have such thoughts?"

"Then let me go."

"You just absorbed four 100,000-year-old soul bones, and your soul power has broken through to level 80. You'll have no problem becoming a Limit Douluo in the future. If I release you now and you take the opportunity to return to Shrek Academy, wouldn't my investment be aiding the enemy?"

Qin Chuan lifted Ma Xiaotao's chin and kissed her deeply. After a long while, the two separated.

"What's more, I'm going to make you slap the Holy Spirit Cult in the face. Those guys attacked Shrek Academy with the aim of kidnapping you. Don't you want to take this opportunity to get revenge?"

Ma Xiaotao pouted: "Of course I wanted to, but I really saw light on you just now, it was seven-colored, and it shimmered for seven days and seven nights."

Chapter 99 Soul-Guided Cellphone and the Beginning of the Operation

Qin Chuan tore open his shirt, revealing that the seven-colored dragon scales located below his neck and in the center of his chest had changed from one to two, radiating a seven-colored halo under the refraction of sunlight.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of the Emperor, possesses pure dragon god bloodline, while the seven-colored dragon scales on Qin Chuan's chest are a result of the two external soul bones.

Qin Chuan was certain that the extra seven-colored dragon scale was caused by his absorption of the million-year-old three-eyed golden lion's head soul bone.

"System, is there any explanation for the dragon scales that inexplicably appeared on my chest?"

"Ding dong, the scales on the host's chest come from the Dragon God and can protect the host from death twice."

"Then, what is the soul skill of the million-year-old Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head soul bone?"

"Ding-dong, this soul bone has four skills."

"Firstly, it provides spiritual protection, rendering three spiritual attacks from a god-level expert ineffective within a day, and completely negating any spiritual attacks launched by experts below the god-level."

"The second is soul annihilation. All soul masters whose soul power level is lower than the host's will be annihilated by the soul annihilation, and the annihilation will be 100% successful."

"The third is the Fate Cut. If the soul power level is lower than the host's soul power, the opponent will lose the connection with the martial soul after activating this skill. After losing soul power and martial soul, the opponent will become an ordinary person for one day. Conversely, the opponent will lose soul power and martial soul for one hour."

"The fourth skill is linked by fate. After using this soul skill, you can communicate with all the soul beasts on the continent and mobilize the power of fate within them. When used in combination with the first, second, and third skills, it can exert a power far beyond that of ordinary people."

for example:

The World of the Dead belongs to Qin Chuan, and it is inhabited by the Ice Bear Clan and the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, with a total of a little over two thousand soul beasts.

The intertwined destinies mobilized the power of destiny within them, coupled with spiritual protection, yet nothing changed; the scope of soul annihilation rose from the Soul Emperor Qin Chuan to the Soul Saint level, and the destiny severance also rose from the Soul Emperor Qin Chuan to the Soul Saint level.

If all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were to enter the World of the Dead, their intertwined destinies, combined with spiritual protection, would be able to completely resist any spiritual attack from a god-level powerhouse. Their soul annihilation range would reach the Limit Douluo level, and their destiny-cutting range would also reach the Limit Douluo level.

The fatal flaw is that it consumes too much of the user's soul power when activated, which Qin Chuan has been unable to do so until now; he would collapse after using it once.

Therefore, Qin Chuan dared not use it rashly unless it was a life-threatening situation.

Without using the Fate Link, using any of the three soul skills mentioned above would consume one-third of Qin Chuan's soul power.

After hearing the system's explanation, Qin Chuan, despite being mentally prepared, couldn't help but gasp.

As expected of a million-year-old soul bone, although it didn't add a single bit of soul power to Qin Chuan, its soul bone skills were incredibly powerful.

Qin Chuan calmed himself down, sat cross-legged on the ground again, opened the system's shop page, went to the Soul Ring option, and spent 200,000 Revenge Points to exchange for two 100,000-year Soul Rings.

Qin Chuan's sixth spirit ring is the 100,000-year-old Death Spider King.

Ma Xiaotao's eighth spirit ring is a 100,000-year-old fire phoenix.

The spirit rings under their feet unfolded, and before long, both of them had completed the absorption of their spirit rings.

Qin Chuan's soul power increased to level 63, and Ma Xiaotao's soul power reached level 85, partly due to the soul power boosting effect of the four 100,000-year soul bones.

With this, Qin Chuan has completed the current stage of preparations.

Current revenge value: 3362500

On the other side, a group of seven, led by Qian Daoliu, sat cross-legged around the Fountain of Life, researching how to construct a soul core, and they already had a plan.

Each of the seven people consumed the appropriate celestial herbs, closed their eyes, and began their attempt to construct a body using the abundant life essence provided by the Fountain of Life.

Fifteen days until the operation begins...

On a high cliff, Ma Xiaotao sat under a towering ancient tree, Qin Chuan's head resting in her lap. In the more than five hundred days and nights in the City of Slaughter, Qin Chuan often rested his head like this, and Ma Xiaotao had long been used to it.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao stared intently at the "brick" in Qin Chuan's hand and asked, "What exactly is that thing you're fiddling with?"

The "brick" in Qin Chuan's hand—no, it should be called a Soul Guidance Phone.

Given the current technological level of the Sun Moon Empire, it would still be some time before they could develop a mobile phone. Qin Chuan was bored, so he asked the system if there were any entertainment products like mobile phones to pass the time, and to his surprise, there were.

The exchange only required 1,000 Xuehen Points, so Qin Chuan ordered one.

The phone is predominantly gray, and its 6.5-inch screen has only four options: camera, phone call, search, and game.

There is nothing else.

Qin Chuan moved closer to Ma Xiaotao, their cheeks pressed together, and after taking a selfie, a photo of the two of them appeared on his phone.

Looking at herself and Qin Chuan in the image, Ma Xiaotao was utterly shocked by the power of the Soul Guidance Phone.

Qin Chuan clicked the search bar, typed "How can a Soul Master break through to the Title Douluo level?", and after searching...

The ideas and various solutions needed for constructing the Soul Core immediately came into view.

Ma Xiaotao was dumbfounded and found it hard to believe: "This is an absolute secret at Shrek Academy. Only students who are about to break through to the Title Douluo level are qualified to enter the library to borrow books, and they also need the approval of the Sea God Pavilion. This thing can actually do that."

Qin Chuan sensed that Ma Xiaotao was feeling a little anxious, because the waves on her head were rising and falling slightly.

Qin Chuan smiled calmly: "I'm envisioning a device to be developed for all Soul Masters across the continent, which I call the Soul Guidance Phone. It's powered by the Soul Master's Soul Power, and Soul Masters can use it anytime, anywhere as long as they carry it with them."

"As you can see from the search, you can find information on advanced concepts of Soul Masters and a wealth of information on Soul Beasts. The telephone is used to connect the two parties; no matter where they are, a single call can connect them."

"Unfortunately, the current range is only within the Sun Moon Empire and is connected to the high-altitude detection soul tool. The soul tool technology of Douluo Continent is too backward. Apart from the capital of the empire, other major cities do not even have a single high-altitude detection soul tool."

"As for the games... they're just for casual entertainment, including classic mini-games like Connect Four, Dou Dizhu, solitaire, and Minesweeper."

Qin Chuan spent another thousand Xuehen Points to exchange for a phone for Ma Xiaotao, and then taught her how to use it to contact him...

Looking at Ma Xiaotao, who was completely engrossed in her phone, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think of his own past.

……

The Demon Forest, the stronghold of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Reporting to the Master, the Blue Silver Saintess is about to break through to level sixty."

Zhongli Wu frowned slightly: "Why is the speed so slow?"

The newcomer immediately knelt down: "Please forgive me, Master. The Blue Silver Saintess's talent was originally not good. She was able to break through quickly only because of the drugs and the support of the sect's resources. But the Blue Silver Saintess's martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, is too ordinary. If she wants to break through quickly, the dosage of drugs must be increased."

"Then why don't you hurry up and do it?"

"Master, while increasing the dosage of the medicine for the Blue Silver Saintess can certainly accelerate her cultivation, the side effect is that it will deplete her life force. Once the Saintess breaks free from our control, or is stimulated to briefly regain her senses, she will suffer immense pain, and the dosage will have to be increased again if we want to control her next time."

Zhongli Wu said nonchalantly, "If she can't even endure this little bit of suffering, what use is she? Continue to increase the dosage."

"Yes."

……

Fifteen days later, outside the Demon Forest.

"Tell me, where is the Blue Silver Saintess being imprisoned? And draw a map of the interior of your Holy Spirit Cult."

"Yes."

Qin Chuan subdued an evil spirit master, learned Tang Ya's location from him, and also obtained a structural diagram of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Qin Chuan personally killed the evil spirit master, then nodded towards the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a straight beam of light fell like divine punishment.

The Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters was an ancient castle. The evil spirit masters who were walking outside suddenly felt restless and uneasy, as if a raging fire was burning in their hearts. Then they were surprised to find that their clothes, bodies, and even their martial spirits were all enveloped by an extremely sacred flame.

They wailed in agony, their bodies falling apart. The flames were so bizarre that they could not be extinguished even with water. Before long, hundreds of evil spirit masters turned to ashes and vanished on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely angry voice rang out from inside the castle.

"Who dares to act so arrogantly in my sect after eating the heart of a bear and the heart of a leopard!"

The Holy Spirit Cult's leader, Zhongli Wu, the vice leader, Feng Ling, and several titled Douluo elders flew out from within.

Zhongli Wu's eyes turned red. Evil Soul Masters were already rare, and the sudden death of hundreds of them was a huge blow to their strength!

Zhongli Wu and the others looked up, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

Qian Daoliu stood tall on the clouds, his hands behind his back, with three people on each side of him, their arms crossed, looking down at them with cold expressions.

Zhongli Wu roared, "How dare you! You dare to launch a sneak attack on my sect! Aren't you afraid of dying here today?"
