Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 607 A God Reaching an Even Higher Level
"who are you?"

Dark clouds gathered, and rain pattered against the lakeside, brushing against the body of the Lord of Stars with the wind.

"who am I?"

"That's not important. I'm here to witness a piece of history."

It couldn't see the figures in the clouds, but amidst the booming thunder, the voices in its ears were clear and distinct.

At the boundary between light and darkness, Han Tao gently lifted his hands, forcibly restraining the terrifying divine punishment beneath his palms. "If it piques my interest, perhaps I will help you."

The Lord of Stars hesitated instead, "Help me?"

"Human, strong one, I may address you as Your Majesty."

"While I appreciate your kindness, you have underestimated my strength. I do not need your help; I am capable of withstanding this heavenly tribulation."

Tone, pause.

The Lord of Stars continued to gaze at the heavens, the reflection of the Milky Way spreading across the macrocosm.

Han Tao sighed, "Alright then."

"If you perish under the heavenly tribulation, I can save your soul, but the price is your faith!"

The power of starlight is flowing through the vast forest.

Suddenly, the pervasive starlight was blocked by some external factor.

"What."

The Lord of Myriad Stars' expression turned cold. "What's going on!"

It turned its head and looked at a corner of the Azure Sea Forest, where the Starry Sequence below it was located.

"Uh"

Thunder fell without exception.

Lightning-struck patterns appeared on the Star Lord's body. It let out a miserable cry and roared, "Damn it!!"

"Who, who on earth, has blocked the transmission of starlight?!"

The loss of the Starry Sequence resulted in the Star Lord's power being incomplete, but even so, it was only slightly injured.

"Hmph, ha!"

"Lord of the Stars, how have you been?"

A man approached, his face aged and his temples gray.

The robes were a vibrant blue, engraved with images of the sun, moon, and stars, their patterns alternating in a certain rhythm.

Regardless of their actual abilities, their prestige is absolutely off the charts.

"Master Cult Leader."

"As you instructed, we have gone to various locations in the Azure Sea Forest to isolate the transmission of starlight. This time, it is doomed."

Two hundred Star Empire envoys and three hundred thousand Star Empire soldiers followed behind the leader.

They were in perfect military formation, each holding a specially made soul-guided device, and were stationed in every corner.

The Imperial High Priest slowly strode forward, his voice pausing with each step, "To realize my ambition, I have waited for hundreds of years—the lifespan of countless humans."

"My life is coming to an end, and I thought I would miss this opportunity forever, but fate is on my side in the end, hahahahaha!"

"--snort!"

The Lord of Stars looked grim. "The Star Empire."

The leaf clenched tightly with its own will, its tone questioning, "Humans, why did you betray me?"

The Imperial Cult Leader shook his head and crossed his arms. "Betrayal? What betrayal?"

"Humans and spirit beasts are two different species. We come together because of interests, and we also separate because of interests."

"We stand on different sides, so how can there be betrayal, or right and wrong?"

She smiled gently, clapped her hands, and the messenger below took out a soul tool and poured the red liquid into the earth.

"This is."

Han Tao looked at them and frowned.

Because this red sap looks somewhat like the precursor to a mutant virus.

"Lord of the Stars, this poison is the latest research result of the Star Empire. It can cause soul beasts to evolve in a short period of time, and it will also consume your last bit of life force."

"I will not let you die under the heavenly tribulation; I will let you die by my hand, because only in this way can I survive." The Imperial Cult Leader's expression turned cold.

The 200 imperial envoys around him all died instantly, hiding the secret in the passage of time.

"Only then can I get that one."

"A million-year soul ring imbued with the power of starlight!"

As the red liquid took effect, killing intent appeared in the eyes of the Lord of Myriad Stars. Its aura surged briefly as it tried to escape the Heavenly Tribulation's blockade and kill the Imperial Lord. However, the starlight power it used was once again deflected by the special soul tool.

"Damn."

Anger cannot explain the rage in its heart.

"Revered human powerhouse, could you please help me!"

"I'm willing to grant your request. I'm willing to offer my faith for you. As long as you kill him, I'm willing to give you everything!"

The Lord of Myriad Stars suddenly turned his head and looked at the endlessly spreading Heavenly Tribulation in the sky.

"Pray to Heaven?"

"Who can help you? In the entire Star Empire, who can stop me besides the King?"

The Imperial Pope smiled proudly.

With his arrogant laughter, Han Tao slowly emerged from the clouds, standing tall beneath them and looking down into the distance.
The Imperial High Priest froze, his fingers trembling. "Human...who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

A myriad of questions arose in his mind. He couldn't understand why Han Tao was able to stand still in the sky, because even the strongest humans in the Star Empire would find it difficult to do so.

"Contra?"

As times progress, systems continue to evolve.

Ten thousand years ago, the path of martial spirits in human civilization was not fully formed. Therefore, if a titled Douluo came to this time and space, he could completely crush the entire empire.

"Lord of the Stars, don't forget your promise!"

A giant hand, constructed from blue silver soul power, burst forth from the mud of the forest, raising its neck high.

"Etc., etc!"

The leader of the Star Empire screamed in agony.

"What, do you have any last words?" Han Tao asked.

"Hmph, you can't kill me."

The cult leader sized up Han Tao's body, a hint of disgust lurking within him. "The robes Han Tao wears are sewn from animal hides; this is clearly a product of ancient times, and should be despised by civilized people like him."

"Human, how can you, as a human, compromise with a soul beast?"

"You have betrayed your beliefs, your principles, and even your birth!!"

The cult leader spoke in a louder tone, attempting to use morality and political stance to coerce Han Tao's will.

"Um"

“You’re right, so I plan to bury this secret in the dust of history.”

Just like they, Han Tao pointed to the envoy beside him,
The fingers, sculpted from blue silver soul power, clenched tightly. The sect leader's throat shattered under the force, and his life force gradually faded away.

"No"

"why?"

The cult leader's eyes lingered with confusion.

Amidst this bewilderment, his life came to an end.

"Thank you."

The Lord of Myriad Stars breathed heavily, his expression pale and his words dejected, "Perhaps you are right, with my power alone, I cannot survive the Heavenly Tribulation."

Its soul formed a contract with Han Tao and slowly flew onto the ninth soul ring of the Eye of Time. Meanwhile, the divinity from the Blue Silver Clan began to rise as the power of faith took its place.

"The complete faith of the Blue Silver Clan, the power of their faith accumulated over ten thousand years, they have made me a god, paving the way for my divine path."

The blue-silver scepter danced in the wind.

The Martial Soul system reaches its limit at level 100, and after reaching the ultimate level of 100, the path to godhood begins to be forged.

—Han Tao, begins to break through.

Level 101, Level 102, Level 103, Level 104.
