Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 421 The Answer, Revealed
Dragon whisker needles, crossbow bolts, and arrows pierced the body of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

The mysterious arena shrouded in black mist guides Han Tao back seven years, while on the other side of the duel, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger loses its powerful body, which was once a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Even so, it still possesses strength approaching that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Despite holding an absolute advantage in the competitive arena, no one could have imagined that Han Tao could find a way to end his own life in such an unconventional manner.
It couldn't stop the sharpness of the arrows.

"--what!"

It roared, a weak, mournful cry.

Pain contorted his expression, his voice became hoarse, and his eyes were filled with injustice.

"Why?"

"This is my soul skill, my innate talent domain. Why should Han Tao be allowed to ask for help?"

"Have someone else prepare weapons for him?"

There are no answers to any of this.

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Tao stretched out his fingers and pinched the life-bound pearl from its abdomen.

"Having control of its elixir is like having control over its life and death," he said, his tone becoming more composed.

He asked, "Is this your natal pearl?"

"The fusion of six characteristics, oh no, it should be the fusion of seven characteristics now?"

The seventh characteristic is so faint that it cannot be easily detected; only by consciously perceiving it can one discern even the slightest hint of it.

The feeling of "longing for someone until the dew runs dry"!

The Love-Sickness Red connects two spaces, and combines Blue Silver Grass and Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. When Ning Rongrong takes the Longing for Autumn Dew, the natal pearl in a specific space suddenly absorbs a trace of the immortal herb's power.

"Han Tao!"

The Dark Demon God Tiger quickened its pace slightly: "You can't destroy it, you can't destroy it!"

"Oh?" Han Tao asked in confusion, "So, you're planning to beg for mercy?"

With a disdainful smile, I won't let it go even if it begs for mercy.

"Cough cough."

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the arena with crimson frost.

The excruciating pain in its chest and the ravaged wounds had brought it to the brink of death.

He vaguely wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped himself, hiding the secret in the deepest part of his memory.

"Han Tao, you cannot steal my memories!"

"This is the arena of life and death. You have lost your head soul bone, and you will never know my secret."

"Hahahahahaha."

It used its last bit of strength to let out a smile.

Han Tao shook his head: "We need to hurry."

He turned the soul tool and sent a message to Ning Rongrong, who was outside of time and space: "Rongrong, now fuse your martial soul!"

Ning Rongrong paused, looking bewildered.

The crystal-clear Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the dazzling and bewitching Acacia Red, and the extremely powerful Dark Blue Silver Core.

They attempted "Soul Fusion" again, but this time, it failed.

"Failed?"

Han Tao was taken aback.

Ning Rongrong stared wide-eyed in confusion, but the two quickly figured out the reason: she was currently at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Before being hooked by the evil god in the arena of life and death, Han Tao's location was at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"perhaps."

"Is spirit fusion only possible at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

Han Tao quickened his pace: "Come to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!"

"Ok!"

She strode forward, without even saying goodbye to Ning Fengzhi, and plunged into the mountains of Sunset Forest.

The Love-Sickness Red and the Fragrant Silk Fairy Protected her life, allowing her to pass through the almost divine Jade Phosphorous Poison Barrier and successfully reach the spring.

—Soul Fusion!
The Blue Silver Core, also known as Dark Blue Silver Grass, extends several vines that entwine around the Origin Pearl of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

Its gaze gradually became unfocused, yet it still retained a mocking smile.

"The most fundamental power of Dark Blue Silver Grass is absorption!"

"And Ning Rongrong's first soul ring, which amplifies power, happens to be the same as one of the powers of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!" As the power of devouring was activated, the [power] on the natal pearl gradually fused with the martial soul and was transmitted to another space-time.

The first soul ring of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shimmered with an inexplicable rhythm.

"This is the origin of her power and authority!"

The Dark Demon God Tiger's doubts were answered at this moment.

Suddenly, a surging, overwhelming, and boundless malice condensed in an imperceptible location, searching for Han Tao's whereabouts.

"Fortune is difficult to fathom!"

This enormous change caused Han Tao to waver and begin to ponder.

Is it
Is the targeting of my luck because I stole Tang San's opportunity?

This possibility may be one-sided, and the so-called Pearl of Origin also plays a part in this.

The Origin Pearl of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is the most precious treasure of the Heavenly Pearl Transformation World and the opportunity for Zhou Weiqing to become a god. Han Tao plundered its 'power', which is equivalent to suffering the malice of another world.

The numerous immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire represent the greatest convergence of fortune in the Douluo Continent.

Tang San was the chosen one of the world's destiny, but he had stolen that opportunity from him.

"I see!"

"Based on cause and effect, I suppose I have been targeted by three completely different kinds of fate!"

Han Tao finally realized why fate was so hostile towards him.

He gently shook his hand and sighed: Never mind!
"Since we've already done it, let's just go with the flow!"

"Besides, I don't have much time!"

The Dark Demon God Tiger is about to die.

Once it dies, it will return to reality.

Han Tao intensified his absorption, devouring all the [Power] properties within the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Origin Pearl.

"Han Tao?"

A questioning voice suddenly came from inside the soul tool.

Han Tao did not answer, his expression focused as he gazed intently at its mournful cry of life.

"Han Tao!"

This time, Ning Rongrong used an affirmative sentence.

As the Dark Demon God Tiger fell, the thick black fog in the Arena of Life and Death shattered, dissipated, and vanished like a mirage.

The calipers of the clock started turning again, and Ning Rongrong's voice gradually faded into the distance.
Beyond the mottled space and time.

Ning Rongrong's doubts never received a response from Han Tao.

She said, slightly embarrassed, "It's Han Tao!"

"You can't hide it. I recognize your voice, and I've known your speech patterns for a long time!"

Clenching her little fists, she secretly waved them.

She consumed 12 immortal herbs, gaining the approval of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, and her first soul ring gained a touch of rhythm.

But she wasn't happy!

Because after this point, no matter how much the soul tool is turned, the sound from the other side of time and space can no longer be heard.

The Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda can no longer be combined with the Heartbreaking Red of Love.

"Perhaps, we're missing Blue Silver Grass?"

"My father once recorded in unofficial histories that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Seven Star Begonia, and the Blue Silver Grass could be fused into martial souls?"

"And when I was fusing my martial soul, I sensed the aura of Blue Silver Grass?"

I sensed the aura of Blue Silver Grass, or more accurately, the Dark Blue Silver Grass under ultimate fusion.

It was precisely for this reason that when Han Tao first arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, she was able to point out the route to the "Dark Blue Silver Grass" for him.

After returning to the sect.

"Nine-Leaf Purple Ganoderma, for Father!"

"Give the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Ning Tian, ​​the Extraordinary Treasure Chrysanthemum to Chief Yang, and as for the Acacia Heartbreak Red..."

She hesitated for a long time.

Finally, along with the vomit woven by Han Tao, it was placed in a porcelain bottle and entrusted to Chief Yang to deliver to Han Tao.

She hopes that one day, the Blue Silver Grass, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the Acacia Heartbreak Red will be able to fuse their martial souls again in the same space and time.
