Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 573 A microcosm of the Scarlet Aberration Era—Slaughter City

The mutated Blue Silver Emperor is a divine herb, and a top-grade one at that.

Three powerful beings were born from its remains. Han Tao's gaze pierced through the vast border and traveled along the past years to reach the City of Slaughter.

"The nine-headed bat has gained the ability to control the virus."

"There are two more: the Asura of the present world and the Rakshasa. They have mastered one of the orders of the Scarlet Anomaly Era: slaughter!"

"And that crimson era was sealed away by the two new gods in the south of the Far East."

Zhu Zhuqing covered her lips, incredulous.

Oscar withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and stared at a tiny blue silver plant on the ground, his mind churning endlessly.

"The mutated flower turned to ashes under a million heavenly tribulations—this is illogical!"

Ning Rongrong interrupted Han Tao: "Why? With an evolution speed of a thousand times and a full fifty thousand years, why can't it produce characteristics that can withstand lightning?"

Han Tao waved his hand.

The sky above the Douluo Continent, through the illusion, presents that crimson era, allowing everyone to experience it firsthand and see it for themselves.

"A period of aberration spanning fifty thousand years is enough for Blue Silver Grass to develop any characteristic; that's a fact!"

"but."

"The birth of the Flower of Anomaly is brief; from its birth to its destruction, it lasts only a few hundred years."

At this point, Han Tao paused, "It doesn't have the Eye of Time, so it can't find the characteristics of blue silver from the pre-aberration era like I can."

"Moreover, it cannot stop and linger to accumulate its own strength, because the mutated virus behind it is constantly catching up. When its own level of evolution is surpassed, that will be the time of its fall."

Ning Rongrong, standing beside her, stopped talking.

The crimson world in the illusion reflected a blood-red light in her eyes.

"Limited by the factors of its time, its evolution was not perfect, or rather, it failed to reach its final brilliance!"

"Like the Lord of countless stars, it fell into the long river of history."

In this dreamlike realm, the wind and moon converge, and the world changes color.

The light that flashes and pierces the soul is the divine punishment of a million-year-old soul beast that transcends the level of a god; it is devastating and tears everything apart.

The eyes of time witnessed its birth, and also its fall.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Martial Soul Shadow!"

The spirit ring suddenly reflected ripples of spirit power.

"The Martial Soul Shadow was once the position of the Blue Silver Priest."

"However, having forged the [Blue Silver Scepter], I no longer need this sequence!"

The evolutionary sequence of the Blue Silver Priest slowly faded away under Han Tao's guidance.

In the Scarlet Aberration Era, the "Aberration Flower," evolved from the Blue Silver Emperor, is blooming between Han Tao's fingers.

Ning Rongrong suddenly shook her head: "Han Tao, you can't have it!"

"Its birth and fall were limited by the times, and therefore its evolution was also limited by the times. On our Douluo Continent, there are no longer any mutated viruses from that era."

"These incredibly beautiful and aberrant sequences are nothing but empty fantasies!"

Zhu Zhuqing added, "Even if the Douluo Continent still retains the mutation virus, we cannot release it. We don't want to experience that Scarlet Aberration era again, as it would destroy the entire world."

“Exactly!” Oscar nodded in agreement.

Han Tao stopped in his tracks.

With a gentle expression, she glanced at Ning Rongrong and said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't destroy the entire continent."

"The Scarlet Aberration Era is just a fragment of the vast history. The Douluo Continent in the present world is full of more and more complex possibilities."

"I will not, and I will not allow, because the wonderful future before my eyes will stifle even more possibilities!"

Han Tao slowly loosened his grip.

Those immersed in the illusion felt the crimson in the sky disappear with the wind. Turning around, they saw Han Tao's departing figure.

South of the Far East lies the city of slaughter. The former land where the gods passed on their legacy has been destroyed by the immense "Yellow Spring Dew" and "Azure Phosphorus Poison," causing countless lives and evil spirit masters to perish under its influence.

Suddenly,
Han Tao saw a familiar figure.

"Bibi Dong, what are you doing here?"

Surrounded by clouds, on a throne constructed of soul power, stands Bibi Dong's elegant and refined figure.

Driven by murderous intent and killing spirit, it sorts through the various toxins in the killing city, and also restores this land polluted by blood to its original state.

"Han Tao?"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, she immediately became flustered.

She couldn't resist Han Tao's illusions. That secret room, woven from illusions, mirror images, and nightmares, was a nightmare she could never erase for the rest of her life.

"This is the place where Asuras and Rakshasa are passed down, and it is also the source of my divine power. Of course, I want to restore order to this place."

"Hmm!" Han Tao nodded silently.

With a flick of the fingertip, the Blue Silver Furnace was summoned.

The cyanotoxins, evolved from snake venom, are manipulated by Han Tao's will to form a poisonous barrier similar to the Sunset Forest, enveloping the entire Killing City.

"Han Tao, what do you mean?" Bibi Dong's face was pale.

Being enveloped in the phosphorus poison barrier means that humans cannot enter or leave this place, and it also means that her plan has failed.

"The Killing City is a microcosm of the Scarlet Aberration Era."

"The birth of the aberrant flower is limited by the times; it is not an evolutionary sequence that can be cultivated in the present world."

"Therefore, I will create a spacetime for its birth, using the destroyed killing city as the premise for its birth. And I will find the original mutated virus in the place where it once fell."

Phosphorus toxin has engulfed the killing city.

Just like the former Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, now encased in the divine-grade Azure Phosphorus Toxin, it is a meticulously crafted paradise.

"Han Tao, do you want to take over this place?"

Bibi Dong suppressed the trembling in her heart, raised her head, and questioned Han Tao, who was staring straight ahead.

"This is the place where the Asura God and the Rakshasa God passed down their legacy. You destroyed this place and seized it. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable?"

"I'm scared, of course I'm scared!"

Picking up the thread, he refused without hesitation: "Compared to their questioning, the sequence of Blue Silver Grass 'Aberrant Flower' is clearly far more precious!"

Crimson, slaughter, blood, and dew from the underworld converged.

Thousands of rushing rivers converged upon Han Tao's Martial Soul Shadow.

"What is this, and what is its significance?"

Bibi Dong stood on the clouds, stopping beside Han Tao.

Her purple eyes were calm as water, and when she saw the blue silver grass stained blood red, she fell into deep thought.

Han Tao smiled slightly and began to explain. Although he didn't think Bibi Dong could understand, he was not stingy with sharing certain theories, because the birth of a great path requires an audience.

"During the Scarlet Aberration Era, before the birth of the Aberration Flower, the Blue Silver Grass underwent several transformations."

"From Blue Silver Grass to Blue Silver Emperor, the bloodline sublimation is completed, further deepening the killing intent, crimson, and will, evolving into the Crimson Blue Silver Emperor."

Bloody Mary, Yellow Spring Dew, and the Killing Domain in the Killing City are the prerequisites for its path to the Crimson Blue Silver Emperor.

Bibi Dong suddenly sneered, "Yellow Spring Dew?"

"Tang Chen's soul was destroyed by it!"

"With the lessons of the past still fresh in our minds, Han Tao, aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistakes by letting the Blue Silver Grass absorb the power of the Yellow Spring Dew?"

"Tsk tsk."

Han Tao glanced at it sarcastically: "Yellow Spring Dew, just a low-grade toxin!"

"The Scarlet Blue Silver Emperor is a product of the Scarlet Age and the host of the 'mutation' virus. How could it possibly fear the so-called price of Yellow Spring Dew?"
