Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 626 Creatures Arrived in the Desolate Era

The order of the earth is governed by the supreme deities.

When it was born, a continent slowly rose from the boundless ocean under the brilliant sun within the Blue Silver Realm controlled by Han Tao.

"The foundation of our martial spirits has been fully gathered!"

Standing on the ground beneath his feet, looking at the blazing sun and the sea, Han Tao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes,” Blue Silver consciousness responded.

"When the order of the sun, the ocean, and the earth is united, its quality is also sublimated through this integration, and elevated to the same level as me, the divine king."

Han Tao smiled and shook his finger.

With the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Blue Silver Cocoon broke through to 1.5, and the three orders of the Martial Soul also broke through to 1.5. Due to the sequence strength, all three cores of the Blue Silver Realm were ranked in the God King category.

"The God-King is getting closer and closer to me."

"Now I only lack the power of faith, and I'm missing the last two souls."

Han Tao's gaze has become the Eye of Time, searching through the fragments of time and space in the vast expanse of years, tracing the power that Han Tao yearns for.

The Evil Eye Tyrant paused, then said, "Han Tao, aren't you afraid of encountering beings like those from the ancient Netherworld again while you're observing like this across the River of Time?"

"Time is a cage; it traps the past years and countless powerful people."

"Even if your strength ranks at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, aren't you afraid that there might be some existences in past timelines that are beyond human comprehension and comprehension?"

"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid!"

Han Tao nodded instead: "Humanity can never lose its awe of power, nor its fear of the unknown. I know that many unimaginable creatures are hidden in the vast expanse of time, and the ancient Netherworld is one of them, but it is not necessarily the strongest."

"I have evolved the Tree of Destiny, and destiny will help me reach the right answer. As long as I don't observe the past that is a million years ago, I am generally safe."

The prelude to their intertwined destinies helps Han Tao find the answer.

"Golden Ancient Tree!"

50 years ago, after the invasion of the Abyss, the Douluo Continent suffered a barren era that lasted for 35 years.

After endless desolation, the plane finally welcomed the life it had longed for.

The golden ancient tree is a creature born from the seeds of nature. Its growth fills the world with the wonderful beauty of "nature": leaves swaying in the wind, the cycle of rain and ocean, wildfires erupting from the earth, and the cold frost and snow of the north.
Its birth brought an end to the desolate era, and the Douluo Continent was given new life.

"Since it was so powerful, how did it die?"

The fairy grass looked curious.

Han Tao glanced at its growth and sighed deeply, "It led an era forward, but when the era moved towards the romance of nature, it also lost the meaning of its birth."

"It did not die; it has survived to this day, and it is hidden under a cliff somewhere."

His robes fluttered in the wind, and Han Tao's figure suddenly darted away.

Haotian Sect, a cliff ten thousand feet high.

The former three great sects have fallen, yet no soul master can still covet this place, because the heart of the mountain where the sects are located is surrounded by valleys of immeasurable height.

"Is this the place?"

"The Evil Eye Tyrant suddenly asked."

"I've observed this place many times, and I've never seen the golden ancient tree you mentioned?"

"Han Tao, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Han Tao shook his head.

Soaring into the sky above the Haotian Sect, Han Tao saw the disciples below striving to improve themselves. It seemed that the fall of a powerful figure in the sect had made them feel humiliated.

"Han Tao, what are you doing here?"

The fourth elder of the Haotian Sect struggled to his feet. He looked at Han Tao with a look of horror on his face.

The other elders and sect leader of the Haotian Sect are all dead, and he himself is half-crippled, so he is definitely no match for Han Tao.

"All Haotian Sect disciples and elders, I will give you two hours to leave this place."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Han Tao commanded in a cold tone.

"Why?"

The sect disciple raised a question, but before the question could travel far, he was slapped across the face by the Fourth Elder.

"Shut up!" "Han Tao is already a god. Do you think you can question a god?"

Han Tao smiled, but then suddenly frowned.

The Fourth Elder was very perceptive and his demeanor was exceptionally humble. He even gave up a considerable amount of the Haotian Sect's wealth and forcibly ordered the Haotian Sect's disciples to leave.

"Calm, rational, and patient—just like Tang San's second incarnation."

"We would rather give up wealth and the land where our sect has a legacy than fail to save the lives of our disciples."

Han Tao looked at the Fourth Elder and secretly made up his mind, "This child must not be allowed to live!"

—The Edge of Time!
The sword, taller than any god, pierced through space and time, pointing precisely forward.

"stop!"

"Han Tao, stop!"

A voice echoed from within the valley.

The blade of time beneath his fingers was frozen in place, as if all of nature was resisting Han Tao's power, but that was all.

If Han Tao simply shifts the timeline, the defense woven from the forces of nature will crumble.

"Oh why?"

Han Tao looked at it.

The ancient golden tree continued to convey its will, "A hundred years ago, Tang Chen, the former sect leader of the Haotian Sect, discovered me and made a deal with me."

"So you want to protect them?"

Han Tao raised his voice, "I will kill the Fourth Elder, you cannot save him!"

The Fourth Elder looked bewildered, staring at Han Tao in disbelief. "Why? Han Tao, I haven't offended you. Why do you insist on killing me?"

"why?"

Han Tao frowned. "That's not important. Even if you know why I killed you, it doesn't change the fact that you're dead."

"Moreover, the more people want to protect you, the less I can kill you, and the stronger my killing intent becomes!"

Just as Han Tao was speaking, the sword of time seemed to shift out of place in time and space.

It pierced his body and erased his life. Han Tao glanced at his bones, used the Order of Destruction to shatter the soul in the air, and then stopped speaking.

The Evil Eye Tyrant looked puzzled. "Han Tao, why did you do this?"

"The Fourth Elder is just a Title Douluo, and his attitude has satisfied us. He is not a threat at all, so why are you showing him no mercy?"

Han Tao glanced at its remains and smiled casually.

Then, he pointed and asked, "Do you see them?"

"Many members of the Haotian Sect harbor deep hatred for me, and I have no intention of letting any of them go."

"what?!"

The golden ancient tree suddenly sprang out and blocked Han Tao's path.

“Human, you can’t do this. I made a deal with Tang Chen. I need the sect that protects it.”

Han Tao gave a mocking smile, "What will you use to protect them?"

The ancient golden tree remained silent.

It hadn't stood up to stop Han Tao before, and now it was even less able to resist Han Tao's power; it could only watch helplessly as Han Tao made his choice.

Han Tao suddenly suggested, "If you can trade with Tang Chen, you can naturally trade with me."

"If you become my spirit and offer your faith, I will spare them."

The ancient golden tree fell silent.

Without hesitation, Han Tao swept his illusion across the Haotian Sect disciples, instantly killing two Soul Masters who were filled with hatred for him.

"no, do not want!"

The disciples below cried out, embracing the corpses strangled by the sword of time.

Han Tao's killing intent was not directed at cultivation talent or soul power level. Their so-called talent and aptitude were utterly pale in comparison to Han Tao.

"The more you hate me, the sooner you'll die. It's fair and reasonable."
