Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 577 Advanced Application of Soul Rings

"Martial soul?"

Ancient Netherworld frowned, then looked up in horror, "Martial Soul!!"

As he scrutinized the gray phantom beside him, the whites of his eyes faded away unnoticed, and the edges of his pupils transformed into clear gemstones.

The wind is intermittent.

Even time and space seemed to freeze in an instant, blocking the gradual forward movement and stopping the passage of time at the moment of arrival.

"What exactly is a Martial Soul?"

"Monkey, oh no, I should call you human, can you tell me what exactly a Martial Soul is?"

"It was a faint question from the ancient netherworld."

Han Tao knew nothing about it, and at the same time, he knew nothing about the system that would emerge in the future.

"Martial spirit is something that humans possess and is also the foundation of human cultivation."

Han Tao also provided the answer.

At the same time, the spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm and the perception of the Eye of Time swept over the body of the ancient Netherworld, comprehending its structure, form, texture, and engravings, and recording fragments of the magnificent system in the illusion.

—Ancient Netherworld, a complete system of body and soul

The module that locks in a stable energy form is superior to "crystallization" and can serve as a secondary advancement of the Blue Silver Soul Core.

The "linked" energy nodes connect the body's spiritual power, soul power, and ethereal energy, representing a faster transmission speed, better transmission efficiency, and a more stable soul power flow process, a flow process that is not interfered with by the outside world.

Also, a certain special texture.

"Uh"

"This"

Han Tao stopped writing.

In the higher-level form of "Netherworld", the body panels and link structure are not constant, but constantly change over time.

"Like the ever-changing star trails, similar to a macroscopic model of the lord of countless stars."

"With three-dimensional perception and spatial understanding, it is impossible to find its true form on the time curve."

The Eye of Time possesses the most unparalleled vision in the world; no martial spirit, no soul tool, and countless living beings can rival it.

On a micro level, the eye of time transcends fate.

On a dimensional level, the Eye of Time shattered space and time.

"Hey"

Han Tao let out a heavy sigh.

The ancient Netherworld traveled here 50 years ago, appearing briefly in a space-time gap. However, these brief gaps passed by in a hurry, and even though Han Tao recorded every second of its information, he could not comprehend the changes in its entire form.

"Humans, the iteration of ten thousand years has bestowed upon you the gift of the Martial Soul system!"

"This system is no less brilliant than it was before the ages!"

The underworld whispered
Just as Han Tao was using the Eye of Time to observe its body and past, it was also comprehending the charm of the Martial Soul system.

It is obvious that it has grasped part of the Martial Soul system and also received a gift from another system.

"Hahahaha"

"Martial Soul, Soul Rings, Soul Bones—weren't they all created for me?"

The ancient netherworld chuckled foolishly.

Soul power transformed into a billowing cloak, outlining nine black soul rings outside the Netherworld's body.

These spirit rings are nested layer upon layer under the curve of time, and they envelop the entire body of the ancient netherworld without leaving a trace.

Instead of being rigidly positioned at your feet, they are arranged in alternating circles around each other, with their bodies as the axis.

"Any direction."

"Even an attack at any time needs to penetrate the spherical defensive network constructed from the spirit rings!"

Han Tao stared at it blankly.

He pondered for a moment, "Could this be the correct way to use spirit rings?"

With a gentle wave of the Blue Silver Scepter, the immense primal power of the Blue Silver Grass clan converged, elevating the Blue Silver Demon Emperor's three soul rings to a brilliant gold.

Vertically, horizontally, and left and right, three rings are nested in space, forming a three-dimensional defensive network of the Blue Silver Origin Soul Rings.

"Blue Silver Demon Emperor, possess me!"

The Blue Silver Demon Emperor merged with Han Tao. A defensive sphere composed of three spirit rings appeared simultaneously around Han Tao, hovering in the sky, standing in opposition to the Ancient Netherworld at the front.

"A poor imitator!"

Ancient Netherworld gave a disdainful smile, turned its head away, and even ignored Han Tao's gaze.

"How can a spatially misaligned nested soul ring compare to a temporally nested one?"

The Ancient Netherworld's structure was superior to Han Tao's, being three-dimensional, time-based, and diagonal, utilizing eight spirit rings to form a flawless spirit ring defense network.

Meanwhile, the remaining spirit ring was drawn outside its body.

"--cut!"

The sharp edge passes through the soul ring, gaining an amplification from the source power, making its power even greater.

"What."

Han Tao was extremely focused, scrutinizing its every movement.

However, this attack came too fast. The pre-attack animation of the Ancient Netherworld Sword was concealed by the power of time, and by the time it launched its attack, it had already reached Han Tao.

——Bang!

The three brilliant golden spirit rings shattered one after another, and their destruction blocked the slash for Han Tao.

"it is good!"

"blocked!"

Han Tao couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Three million-year spirit rings, barely enough to block one attack—that's nothing to be proud of.
"However, the Blue Silver Clan has no shortage of the essence."

"Trading existing resources for scarce defensive capabilities is a worthwhile deal."

The blue-silver scepter was swung once more.

The vast and mighty blue silver origin slowly outlined itself on the Blue Silver Demon Emperor, forming six crimson 100,000-year soul rings.

Vertically, horizontally, upright, and diagonally, the eight spirit rings are arranged in a staggered pattern, forming a spirit ring defense system outside the Blue Silver Armor's stomach.

The ancient Netherworld gazed at the tortoise shell before it, remaining silent.

The nested spirit ring defense, the blue silver armor stomach, the blue silver external spirit bone, and the regeneration of Bodhi blood—it simply couldn't understand how afraid of death humans could be to create such a bizarre defense system.

"However, it's meaningless!"

"Humans, you can withstand the attacks of this moment, but you cannot resist the attacks of something different from time itself!"

"Through your powerful present, I can see your weak past!"

The bright sun refracted its light, making its face resemble a beautiful blue gemstone. It maintained its elegant appearance, seemingly celebrating Han Tao's demise.

Its fingers are slowly clenching, "I can also go back to the past, crush your possibilities, crush everything about you!"

Suddenly, it vanished.

The clock tower of time slowly turns its hands, taking the ancient underworld back to the past, back to the time when Han Tao was born.

"Ah!"

Seeing it leave, Han Tao finally smiled with relief.

"Han Tao? What are you so happy about?"

Di Tian slowly walked out. "How can you still laugh in this situation?"

"From the ancient underworld, we can find your past, kill your birth, and from then on, everything about you will vanish into thin air."

Han Tao moved his lips slightly, "It can't find me!"

In the ancient underworld, he returned to 20 years ago, to the Soul Village where Han Tao was born.

"what"

"What about people?"

A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman appeared on the farmland.

They toiled under the scorching sun, then handed over heavy taxes to the Heavenly Dou Empire. Of course, the Ancient Netherworld didn't care about any of this; it was waiting.
—Waiting for Han Tao to be born.

I haven't seen Han Tao for a year;

Two years have passed, and Han Tao is still nowhere to be seen;
Three years, four years, five years
