Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 448 Shocking Change
Han Tao's illusion and the environment of the immortal herb intertwine within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Infiltration, fighting, acquisition, countermeasures.
What are my strengths?

"It is a divine-grade martial soul renowned for its perception and mental strength; it is an illusion that integrates the power of space, mirror image, and emotion; it is a distraction control technique that has been cultivated to the 81st level?"

"And you, you are merely a nightmare!"

Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Zhu Jiu, and Yang Wudi could not understand the illusion battle between Han Tao and Huanxin Ou.

Just like before, the Star Luo Emperor couldn't understand why the battle in the secret realm was exactly the same.

"Han Tao!"

Huanxin Ou suddenly looked up.

His expression betrayed a hint of tension, yet a slightly ingratiating one: "Han Tao, we are not enemies!"

When she used her prized Nightmare ability, only to be blocked by the "wall of thought," she realized she was no match for Han Tao.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

“I once captured your memories, and I know your hidden secrets. Let me go, and I swear I will bury those secrets in my heart forever.”

Han Tao feigned panic.

Yet, I felt no fear whatsoever.

He had already seen her in the arena of life and death long before she met him, and Han Tao had arranged everything in advance.

"When she tries to access my memories, the Acacia Heartbreak Red will be activated, transforming into frost-red, blazing maple leaves!"

How could a divine herb be deceived by an ultimate herb?
In the shadows underground, the Illusionary Lotus Root sought to absorb Han Tao's memories, and the Heartbreak Red Acacia was forcibly activated, its flames blazing like frost!

However, I won't expose her.

"I can use her to learn something."

Han Tao let out a sigh of relief.

Regarding the illusion realm, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling couldn't help him, but this Illusion Lotus Root talent was innate, making it his perfect tool.

So he pretended to be timid.

A sudden surge of anger etched murderous intent into his eyes, and his tone was strained as if he were forcing himself to speak: "You do have an advantage in reading memories through mental illusions, but so what?"

"The illusion sculpted by space and mirrors allows me to find your reflection in the material dimension amidst countless fragments!"

Anger erupted at that very moment.

Fingers pierced through the light and shadow, and in an unseen coincidence, pinched her neck.

"Dead immortal herbs can also keep secrets!"

Her expression was trembling; she flailed her legs, struggling: "No, no."

Han Tao's fingers gradually increased in strength, making her feel the premonition of impending death.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "If you tell me the function of the Void property, perhaps I can let you go!"

Huanxin Ou held her breath.

Only one person can reach the peak of the Illusionary Realm. If we tell Han Tao, wouldn't we be creating a formidable enemy for our future?
But if he didn't speak up now, Han Tao would kill him on the spot.

"What are you hesitating about?"

The force of the restraints increased again, leaving white marks on the neck from the marks left by the fingers.

She was anxious, her voice even trembling with tears: "Waaah!"

"Han Tao, I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Han Tao let go of her hand. How could her tearful, delicate appearance give him the impression of a villain?
Huanxin Ou relaxed her breathing, calmed her expression, and carefully considered her tone.

"Nothingness is the end of illusion!"

"However, before discussing nothingness, I need to mention something unrelated."

The Azure Lotus Root changed the subject, leading to an unexpected question from Han Tao.

"Han Tao, do you know about the Creator God?"

Han Tao was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

The power of life and the power of destruction can be fused into the power of creation. I know a little about this secret, but what does it have to do with nothingness?
"Among the gods, the order and rules of the creator god have been occupied, and countless ordinary lives cannot even touch that position."

"and then?"

Han Tao couldn't help but chuckle: "Wanting to become the creator god, you have quite the ambition! But I wonder if you have the strength to match it?"

Huanxin Ou spread her hands, indicating she didn't have the ability. But, it didn't matter!
The rules of the world cannot bind the thoughts of the immortal herb.

Or perhaps it was because she was neither taught by humans nor inherited the theories of soul beasts that she set her sights on becoming the strongest in the world and on a time scale.

"In the physical world, the order of creation has already been taken over. What about the virtual world?"

"Stripping away matter and eliminating elements is the birth of nothingness."

Han Tao's fingers trembled slightly.
She wants to become a virtual creator god?
Natural numbers include not only real numbers but also imaginary numbers, which are "false" outside the real world.

"A false creator god?"

"Using illusion as a means to control space and thought, to conjure matter and soul, and to embark on the path of virtual creation?"

[Space, Mirror Image, Nightmare, Emotion, Nothingness]

Han Tao's expression was fervent, and it lasted for two minutes.

Then, a sudden pause.

"Have I been influenced by her delusional thoughts and fallen into a false dream?"

Taking out the Acacia Heartbreak Red petal, Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing its vibrant color.

As his breathing deepened, his expression calmed down.

Rong Nianbing once said: Emotions transcend the boundaries of time and space, are not shaken by the laws of order, and cannot be destroyed even by the power of destruction.

"Emotions are only one-fifth of the journey into the creation of the virtual world."

Perhaps, this path is feasible.

The road ahead is fraught with thorns, requiring careful consideration and weighing of every step. Any mistake could lead to failure. The idea of ​​virtual creation requires a broad historical perspective and unconventional courage.

These two things are inherently in conflict.

Wiping away her tears, Huanxinou said with a heart full of grievances, "Han Tao, I have already told you the information about the creation of the virtual world. Now you should keep your promise and let me leave."

"I swear I will keep your secret hidden."

There are no secrets at all.

Han Tao nodded slightly, released his fingers, and casually tossed her aside.

The instant Han Tao and Qinglian's illusionary heart-lotus root shattered, the scene before their eyes was terrifying.

"How is this possible?"

"The other shore flower?"

"What happened?"

Because the spider lily is absorbing the power of nothingness from the soul bone of the "soft-boned rabbit," and its absorption will be completed just as the illusion breaks.

"It's not my fault!" Huanxin Ou hurriedly defended herself, shirking responsibility: "It was it that did it. It's the Blue Silver Grass that you cultivated, it has nothing to do with me!"

Han Tao gave a soft, semitone "hmm".

Before the battle, Han Tao's Red Spider Lily was merely a top-tier martial spirit.

By the end of the battle, it had disregarded the constraints of the "Blue Silver Emperor" bloodline and dismantled the interference of the "Blue Silver Priest" faith. Even the divine "Blue Silver Overlord's Eye" could not guide its will in the name of the race.

Simply put, it broke free from the control of the Blue Silver Clan.

"The other shore flower?"

"They stole my Void Soul Bone and also broke free from the Blue Silver Clan's control?"

Even though Han Tao was fighting the Illusionary Lotus Root, the Distraction Control Technique was in effect. How could it possibly break free from its own senses and take the Soul Bone under the watchful eyes of everyone?

"Hmm, what's the reason?"

A figure in green robes, eyes brimming with autumn water.

Just then, Ning Rongrong walked slowly towards them, barefoot.

With a flick of his fingers, light, shadow, toxins, and flowers and leaves appeared in Han Tao's eyes.

"The Red Spider Lily, also known as the Datura Flower, is a top-tier soul beast formed by the fusion of Datura snake venom, Ghost Vine snake venom, and Viper venom."

"And when it evolves to its peak strength, it no longer needs snake venom."

Rongrong smiled sweetly: "If we take it a step further and evolve into the ultimate soul beast, we will no longer be under the control of the Blue Silver Clan."
