Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 353 Born beneath the stars, trapped within a secret realm

Star Luo Empire, Secret Realm.

"arrive?"

Ning Rongrong looked up at the sky.

The group traversed a dense stone forest and endless spatial rifts before arriving at their destination.

"Yes, this is it!" Han Tao replied.

A place without wind.

Silence is the true tactile sensation of this secret realm.

Above the secret realm, there are no gently drifting clouds, nor a sun shining brightly on the earth, only a vast expanse of starlight.

"The Star Luo Empire was named after this secret realm."

Looking up at the countless stars in the sky, one can always sense the insignificance of humankind amidst the endless light and shadow.

Ye Lingling gently twirled her fingertips: "Starlight is a kind of power!"

"It is precisely because of this starlight power that soul beasts like the Evil Eye can grow here at a speed of a thousand times!"

Its tone is as melodious as a silver bell.

Beneath the silence of time and space, a sudden burst of bright color stirs up ripples of color.

This happened to attract the attention of the Evil Eye Soul Beast, which was not far away.

Han Tao, sword in hand, exclaimed, "Here they come!"

The illusion and the control of space easily obscured its perception; beneath the flashing sword light, only pale bones remained.

And, the purple spirit ring.

"The power of origin, absorb!"

Blue Silver Grass suddenly appeared in the void.

The third, extremely profound spirit ring already possessed 99900 years of primordial power and a 100,000-year-old spirit ring structure. By using the Distraction Control Technique—Advanced—and fusing the soul body with the spirit ring, the primordial power of the Evil Eye spirit ring was absorbed.

The transformation from black to bright red marks the beginning of a aging process.

"One hundred thousand year soul ring!"

Han Tao put away his martial spirit with satisfaction.

“No!” Ning Rongrong retorted, “It’s just that the soul ring structure and the source power have reached 100,000 years, but the information recorded in the soul skills still comes from the thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass.”

"Ok!"

There was no retort.

Han Tao turned his gaze to the distant void.

The "Illusion Mirror" skull weaves a unique spatial domain belonging to the Blue Silver Mimicry within this space; the Illusion Space is merely one of its creations.

At the edge of the void, there exists a terrifying aura.

However, in reality, the mental power of the Evil Eye Tyrant is not outrageous.

"One hundred thousand years of evil-eyed tyrant master?"

"Its terror comes from its use of mental power, while my strength comes from my understanding of the essence of the world."

Han Tao remained unfazed.

Focus all your attention on the battle to come.

"It's you?" The Evil Eye Overlord's tone was cold.

"it's me!"

Stand tall, chest out, and meet the gaze of the Evil Eye Ruler.

Between the gazes into the void lies a contest of spiritual power, shrouded in utmost secrecy.

"Mind grabbing!"

The Evil Eye Lord launched a silent attack, but Han Tao's mental fortress, built with his emotions, barely managed to block the terrifying spying.

"The human brain comprises three parts."

"Emotions flow on the surface, thoughts are the sparks of the moment, and memories lie hidden in the core!"

In their first encounter, the Evil Eye Overlord gained the upper hand.

Because of the obstruction of the power of emotions, it could not learn about Han Tao's memories, but it did capture Han Tao's second layer: his current thoughts.

"Help her acquire a spirit ring?" Evil Eye's expression held a hint of disdain: "With your abilities?"

Han Tao gave a soft snort: "Hmph!"

The fundamental powers of the "Illusion Mirror" skull radiate brilliance.

It is connected to the mind of the Evil Eye Tyrant, whose mind lacks the mental walls of emotional power, thus the second layer can be easily penetrated.

Han Tao was also unable to see through the third layer: memory!
Because the brain structure of soul beasts is significantly different from that of humans.

"Han Tao, you haven't lost!" Ye Lingling sighed softly. "You use illusions to read thoughts, but emotions are a cover for memories. Your understanding surpasses that!"

"The reason why you can't access memories is simply because of the difference between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. If there were an Evil Eye Soul Beast in the world that you could study, you would completely steal its memories."

Attributing one's failures to certain objective reasons is the consolation of a coward.

Han Tao shook his head: "The Evil Eye Tyrant was born within the secret realm!"

"Yes, we have no way to study the brain structure of the Evil Eye Clan, and we cannot pry into its memories."

"But at the same time, it also cannot witness the grandeur of the Douluo Continent, like a frog in a well looking at the sky." "Bullshit!"

The evil-eyed tyrant rarely showed anger.

Based on the reading of the illusion, the construction of this emotion is real.

"Don't try to smear me with such a lowly soul beast!"

"No matter what, I am the ruler of the Evil Eye Clan, a unique existence in the entire Douluo Continent!"

Its tone was filled with contempt for all races of the world and supreme arrogance.

For the emperor, whose lineage is tied to blood, it is the choice of the weak!

The ruler, the one who holds the will of the race, is the true radiance of the race's evolution!
"it"

"it"

Rongrong couldn't believe it.

By exhausting countless calculation powers, one can deduce the truth of history within ordinary language.

Looking at the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, she learned for the first time the true meaning of this "tyrant".

“This is a one-sided deal!” she said, her tone slightly softer.

"What deal?"

Han Tao and Ye Lingling looked over.

The Evil Eye Tyrant also felt a sense of confusion: What was this porcelain doll saying?
She paused briefly.

Han Tao's thought process can convey information.
However, what lies before them is the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, a soul beast whose mental power has been pushed to its limits, making it highly likely that they will be intercepted.

Therefore, she stated directly: "The royal family of the Star Luo Empire regards the Evil Eye Secret Realm as a hunting ground, but little do they know that this is just wishful thinking on their part!"

—The Evil Eye, in harmony with the Evil-Eyed White Tiger

"The royal family of the Star Luo Empire will have their memories read by the Evil Eye Tyrant after arriving in the secret realm!"

Rongrong stretched out her fair finger and pointed to the figure hanging in the sky: "It uses this method to understand the outside world!"

Sacrifice the people to fulfill yourself!
Why is the ruler called a "tyrant"?
"Hmph!" it said arrogantly, "We were born under the stars, yet we are trapped within this secret realm!"

"The sacrifice of individuals in exchange for intelligence on the entire world is a choice made by the will of the group."

Han Tao fell silent.

He himself had also embarked on the path of the Blue Silver Overlord.

As time marches on and the laws of nature govern survival of the fittest, the core of racial evolution inherently lacks the interpretation of "cruelty" and "tyrant."

"Ah, that's how it should be!"

but
The simple response, like a thunderclap, resounded in the heart of the Evil Eye Ruler.

Its eyes were wide open; though it only had eyes, the light they shone with an intense emotion.
Like a traveler walking in boundless darkness, meeting a kindred spirit: "Han Tao, do you really think so?"

"Really? Are you sure?"

They even showed their respect.

I did not use a mental illusion to read Han Tao's thoughts at this moment, because that would be a desecration of a seeker of the Dao.

"Blue Silver Grass!"

Han Tao waved his hand.

A martial spirit is an extension of a soul master's will.

Originating from the finest Blue Silver Grass, it creates a unique beauty of strength.

"Ah," it lowered its head slightly.

Staring at the Blue Silver Grass before him, the structure of his martial soul became clear under the sweep of his mental power.

"The seven-leaf shape is quite conventional."

"Perfect tentacles, the ultimate path to domination, unparalleled beauty."

"Oh, the bloodline aura that soul beasts loathe!"

Its tone was accusatory and questioning: "Han Tao, since you've embarked on the path of the Blue Silver Ruler, why do you still taint yourself with those things that reek of stench, filth, baseness, ugliness, and depravity?"

— 24 nouns are used to express the denigration of the word "emperor".

"This kind of laughable bloodline that the Evil Eye despises?"

Han Tao shook his head, neither confirming nor denying.

Ye Lingling was very dissatisfied: "The bloodline route is not inferior!"

Beneath the pure white armor were soft, beautiful lines, and a gentle anger appeared on her face.

—Studying bloodlines was her topic.

Ye Lingling was naturally dissatisfied that this damned soul beast had rejected her research.

"absurd!"

The Evil Eye Tyrant said arrogantly, "You are just as stupid as those brainless bastards in the Star Luo Empire!"

"Han Tao, associating with such a fool will only corrupt the noble will of the ruler."

Rongrong curled up to one side.

She let out a strange "hehehe" laugh, clearly quite pleased with the statement of the Evil Eye Tyrant.
