Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 627 The Sublimation of Natural Forces

"and many more!"

"and many more!"

"Han Tao, I promise you, you'll let them go."

The Golden Ancient Tree responded to Han Tao's request.

The towering cliff was suddenly lifted in an instant, and many disciples of the Haotian Sect, along with the sect's mountain peak, were lifted into the sky. Only then did they realize that the center of the cliff where they had always lived was actually the location of a certain being.

Han Tao frowned. "Why?"

Even if its choice benefits itself, Han Tao still wants to ask "why?" As a strong entity, why would it be restrained by these weak entities?
"Why? Of course not for them, I'm doing it for myself!"

The ancient golden tree sighed heavily, “I came from the desolate era. I will shed the desolate era and move towards the era of stars that fills the sky. I have witnessed the birth of thousands of star lords and aberrant flowers, and I have also witnessed the fall of several eras.”

"Between the glory and the fall of history, I saw your shadow. When you found me, I knew I could not refuse you no matter what."

It had no choice.

Han Tao continued to look at it, then suddenly glanced at the many members of the Haotian Sect, his tone still stiff: "Then why are you still protecting them?"

"Could it be that there is some exceptionally talented Soul Master among them who makes you believe that his future can threaten me?"

The illusion seeped in silently, revealing the thoughts of the many disciples of the Haotian Sect without reservation. Han Tao stretched out his finger, tracing the scenes of his memories, seemingly searching for something that could pose a threat to him.

"If you ask me, we should just kill them all!"

The Evil Eye Tyrant raised his voice arrogantly, "Since they all hate you, it would be best to kill them all and nip the risk in the bud."

"no!"

The golden ancient tree was interrupted once again.

Han Tao pondered for a moment, "This is a transaction. The ancient golden tree becomes my spirit, providing me with a one-in-a-million sincere faith. I am also willing to let go of my hatred and spare them, but..."

The conversation then took a turn: "I cannot allow them to hate me; it is always a threat. Therefore, I will erase their memories, erase their hatred, and let them live in a peaceful future."

Illusion triggered—

Compared to before, when Han Tao could only plunder minds through illusions, his control over the Void Realm is now undoubtedly more profound, allowing him to use illusions to tamper with the enemy's memories and thoughts.

The disciples of Haotian Sect looked blankly at their hands, and then blankly at Han Tao.

"Who am I and who are you?"

The ancient golden tree is silent once again.

The trembling mountaintop gradually calmed down, the disciples steadied themselves, and then began to talk to each other.

"Where is this?"

"Judging from the buildings here, it looks like some kind of sect?"

The young man looked at the plaque, then at the Haotian Hammer statue cast below the hall, and at the achievements of many elders; joy flashed in his eyes.

Han Tao looked at him and saw himself in the beginning.

And so, silence fell.

"It's my turn!"

The golden ancient tree smiled with satisfaction.

Its sacrificial ritual began, but Han Tao no longer had any soul rings or soul bone slots to bear the weight of his soul, so its choice was exceptional.

"Nature's lungs!"

Following the "heart of nihilism," the "heart of true life," and the "stomach of the furnace of destruction," this is the fourth core organ.

Its arrival prompted Han Tao's "lung" structure and sequence to move towards a deeper understanding of nature, from pure power to order and law.

"The interaction of natural forces does not need to cycle in the manner of breathing; it cycles every moment, and every bit of power coexists within the vast whole."

Under the manipulation of the ancient golden tree, Han Tao witnessed an even more wondrous natural system. This included naturally generated elements such as "wind," "rain," "thunder," and "fire."

Among the plant species that have emerged are the "Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid", the "Nine-Leaf Purple Ganoderma", and the "Strange Treasure Sky Chrysanthemum", as well as many other miraculous herbs.

Advanced characteristics include complex and macroscopic concepts such as "life," "elements," and "toxins."

"I saw countless immortal herbs being born in its hands. They were being destroyed at the same time as they were being born. The power of countless immortal herbs merged into heaven and earth, and then returned to its own body in the process of merging with heaven and earth."

"I have seen the ultimate in hybrid pharmacology—natural pharmacology."

The forces of nature interact and form energies within the vast天地 (heaven and earth), and interpenetrate each other under complex magnetic fields. This is the result of hybrid pharmacology evolving to its limit.

Humans presumptuously attempt to observe this natural order with their innate talent, and even if they grasp only a tiny fraction of its true essence, they still far surpass Yang Wudi's level.

"--Why!"

Han Tao sighed heavily.

As their strength gradually increased, the advantages of those prodigies were gradually diminishing. Ye Lingling's unprecedentedly powerful healing ability was no longer important, and Ning Rongrong's innate "spirituality" was losing its luster under the grander romance.

After a while, close your eyes and feel the pulse of your body.

[Internal Organ Strength: 1500]

"The 8th soul, 9 sincere beliefs!"

The power of faith is not rare, but genuine faith is extremely rare, and even a fleeting moment may be born over thousands of years.

The Soul System has overturned all of this.

The world's development will not stagnate; as a breakthrough is achieved in one area, additional results will be obtained in another.

"After the soul is born"

"There was a time when breaking through from peak Douluo to peerless Douluo was extremely difficult, and humanity had to rely on the gods. But now, everything is completely different."

The Martial Soul Empire is currently researching this aspect.

With such a vast empire, and all the Soul Masters dedicating themselves to the study of Martial Soul techniques, it shouldn't be long before they comprehend these systems.

"The Flower of Anomaly has died. Its true faith helped me defeat Tang San in the arena of life and death, but its power has also lost its luster over time."

"I need the last piece of the soul."

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Forest.

Because of the battle between Han Tao and the God King, many soul beasts in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest were reduced to dust.

The power of the Lake of Life is also waning, and if left unchecked, it will take thousands of years to slowly recover.

"Ah Yin?"

Han Tao stopped and saw a woman in front of him.

Her face was incredibly gentle, concealing a touch of girlish purity, but she preferred to present herself as a young woman, as if only in this way could she remember her brief life in human time.

"Han Tao, why? What happened here?"

Looking around the Lake of Life, Ah Yin's eyes were somewhat forlorn.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well where she grew was destroyed by Tang Chen. At this moment, the Lake of Life in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest was also destroyed. It seems that the habitat on which all soul beasts depend for survival has been depleted by external forces.

And there's nothing I can do.

"Lake of Life, the origin of the core of life"

"I was caught in the crossfire, and was obliterated by the destroyed order, but fortunately, it seems that I can do something."

The eyes of time can see the remaining order.

The "furnace" given by the God of Destruction can also absorb and shatter these orders. With Han Tao's gentle guidance, the power that annihilated the life force of the Lake of Life was broken.
