Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 471 The Million-Year Tribulation of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm
"Illusion."

Am I trapped in an illusion?

The face of the demonic tree with its demonic eyes looked blank.

Because the world it sees is like a fragmented mirror image, turning the whole world upside down.

The raging flames, a fiery tornado stretching from the ground to the sky, were tearing at its own body.

"And more importantly, I don't know whether this tearing force comes from illusion or reality."

"Even the soil that is rooted in the ground is slowly disappearing."

It was astonishing to learn from Han Tao's methods.

Even though its body was constructed from "Ultimate Wood" and its foundation was built from the immortal herb "Star Spirit," it dissipated under the weight of the earth.

"Human Soul Master"

"How could a Soul Douluo, equivalent to a 50,000-year-old Soul Beast, possess such power?"

"Even the gods couldn't defeat it."

The demonic tree with its demonic eyes lowered its head and whispered.

If we were to peel away the illusion of "space and mirror" now and observe from a real perspective, we could perceive the armor-like stomach that combines strength and gentleness on Han Tao's body.

The immense strength of the demigod's body broke off a section of the tree.

"Branches of the finest wood"

"The characteristics of the finest wood."

Han Tao waved the "sacrificial scepter," and the power of faith permeated the tree branches, allowing one to feel the rhythm between faith and soul power.

A rich and intense wood element aroma
A strong barrier of soul power, an impenetrable force of faith.

"It was not chosen as a material for a sacrificial scepter."

"It seems that the hollow structure of the nine-section bamboo is the optimal solution for material selection."

"Never mind." Han Tao waved his hand.

The Demon Tree with the Demon Eyes suddenly awoke from a sharp pain.

"Is this an illusion?"

"No, this is reality!"

Having escaped the illusion, it finally realized that even though it had mastered one or two advanced soul skills and followed the special path of "Ultimate Wood," these methods seemed naive in front of the soul master before it.

"This is a powerful human."

Its tone was humble, even with a hint of flattery: "You haven't broken through to the Title Douluo level yet, so you can't absorb my spirit ring. Can you let me go?"

"Why do you say that?"

At this moment, Brigitte still didn't understand what had happened, or why the Demon Eye Tree had suddenly begged for mercy.

She could not see through other people's illusions.

"The illusion constructed by my mind is a battle trajectory that I deduced based on reality and followed the true laws of physics."

Han Tao's tone was indifferent.

The boundless, towering flames, the raging tornadoes, and the vast, boundless land were all part of Han Tao's power.

"Your spirit rings and spirit bones are certainly valuable, but for a spirit master of my level, your spirit rings and spirit bones are not that important."

"At least."

"Compared to the sample of the ultimate wood, and the reference of pure vitality, the value of soul rings and soul bones can be ignored."

Han Tao smiled gently.

He wouldn't kill them; in fact, if Han Tao was in a good mood, he might even offer them shelter when they were threatened.

"uh-huh?"

Brigitte was somewhat surprised.

Although it was a 30-year-old soul beast, its mind was not tainted by much worldly dust, and its eyes lit up when it heard Han Tao's words.

"Human Soul Master"

"Is the soul beast about to undergo tribulation really that important to you?"

Han Tao nodded: "Very important!"

"The lightning of the heavenly tribulation is the key to my neutralizing of the fire poison."

"I know a soul beast."

"However, it is not a 100,000-year-old or 200,000-year-old soul beast, but a 900,000-year-old soul beast that is about to break the million-year mark."

Upon hearing this, Han Tao already knew who it was.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is a special soul beast that evolves by carrying pure energy.

So, out of curiosity, I asked, "Then why doesn't it break through?"

Brigitte chuckled: "How terrifying is a million-year tribulation?" "When it broke through to a higher level in the first 90 years, there was no tribulation brewing at all. But as it was about to break through to a million years, it knew it couldn't withstand it."

Suddenly, Di Tian slowly walked out.

Its scarlet, flamboyant wings, golden horns, and densely packed black scales create an absolutely perfect form.

I met Tianmeng once some time ago.

"It made a deal with me: whenever it cultivates new soul power, it will pass it on to me."

Emperor Tian's posture was proud and arrogant.

The blue-silver sovereign's eye swept across the ancient sky, its expression filled with solemnity—the respect due to a powerful being.

"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Hehe!"

He sneered dismissively, "It has little combat power, and even little defensive power."

"It will die from the heavenly tribulation! It will definitely die!"

Han Tao pondered for a moment.

When the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm emerged from the cave, it was already a 99-year-old soul beast.

With only a one-year gap in soul power between it and a million years, it had no choice but to transfer its soul power to other soul beasts. Only in this way could it prolong its life.

Di Tian asked, "Is it laughable?"

"Not ridiculous!"

Han Tao suddenly shook his head.

With a gentle tap of the scepter on the soul tool, the blue silver core slowly soared into the sky.

"It is the evolutionary sequence that I derived from Tianmeng."

Di Tian asked in confusion, "Is this method meaningful?"

"It has neither combat power nor practical value; its bloodline, spirit, and characteristics have not been elevated in any way."

"Useless junk with only years of service"

"That's not the case," Han Tao shook his head.

"Individuals and clusters are different. Its evolutionary direction is too weak compared to individuals, but it is of great value based on clusters."

"Even comparable to my Blue Silver Overlord!"

Di Tian was stunned: "Bullshit?"

"I don't believe your nonsense. How dare you compare such a cowardly soul beast to a ruler?"

Emperor Tian was clearly aware of the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

A unique path to "domination," the ultimate sublimation of spiritual power, the master of collective will, the chosen one after millions of years.

Han Tao remained silent.

With a gentle smile, Biji defended it, saying, "The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm doesn't want to continue like this either."

"It has wanted to sacrifice itself for a long time. Some time ago, it said that it had found a suitable person to sacrifice itself to and was just waiting for her to break through to the Title Douluo level."

Han Tao was taken aback, then resolutely refused: "No way!"

"I absolutely cannot let it be sacrificed. Even if I have to sacrifice it, it has to break through to a million years to help me cleanse this damned fire poison."

So, without the slightest hesitation, they did so.

The Blue Silver Sovereign's Eye soars above the clouds, its single eye sweeping across the land.

I've found you.

"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, this time, you won't escape my sight."

In the past, it was very difficult for Han Tao to find it.

Now, finding its trace is within reach; if I want to, I can certainly obtain it.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Behind Han Tao, the air roared violently.

Flames and wind intertwined, forming a rapidly spinning vortex, and a sudden push propelled Han Tao forward.

Sound barrier, air resistance, whizzed past Han Tao's ears.
"They are truly extraordinary humans."

The demonic tree with its demonic eyes whispered softly.

A narrow white band stretched across the sky, the trajectory of Han Tao piercing through space, so vast that even his own gaze could not follow its silhouette.

"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it's been a long time!"

Han Tao picked it up and greeted it with a light laugh.
