Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 634 More Brilliant Than the Stars
The world barriers of the Douluo Continent dissipated in the vision of the Eye of Time.

Han Tao suddenly fainted.

Even the eloquent Evil Eye Tyrant, who had just been speaking at length, fell silent as Han Tao fainted, his voice trailing off into a long, drawn-out silence.

"What's wrong with them?" Fairy Grass asked.

The Lord of Life watched from the sidelines and scoffed, "Han Tao fainted because he couldn't handle the overwhelming amount of information, but before he collapsed, he instructed me to stay by his side and protect him."

Blue Silver Consciousness, Ancient Tree of Destiny, Lord of Life, Immortal Spirit Grass—each of these martial souls is equivalent to the quality of a God-King.

Even if Han Tao faints, he is not someone that ordinary people can provoke, except for a certain god-king who has always wanted to kill Han Tao.

Douluo God Realm, Observation Station of All Planes.

"Han Tao fainted?"

"Isn't this our opportunity?"

Upon hearing this news, the Asura God King finally smiled, a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Yes!"

"That is the answer from the goddess of life," replied the goddess of life.

Immediately, the Asura God King became somewhat suspicious.

He suspected that Han Tao was using this as a means to deceive him, so to be on the safe side, he sent a deity to test the waters.

The Asura God scrutinized his own faction repeatedly, pondered for a long time on the face of the God of Food, and then looked away, finding a second-level god who had no protection.

"The Phoenix God?"

"Go down and kill Han Tao!"

The Asura God lowered his voice and gave the order.

The Phoenix God moved his lips slightly, glanced at the Asura God King, then at the Goddess of Life, and looked pleading.

"Can you"

"No!" The goddess of life waved her hand in refusal.

The evil god-king slowly stepped forward. "Phoenix, go!"

"This is a unanimous decision by the Divine Realm Committee. If you complete this task, we will provide you with further resources."

The Phoenix God was once a deity on par with the Dragon God.

It was even far stronger than the combined power of the five current god-kings. Later, it was killed by the dragon god, and its successors were resisted by all the gods.

In the eyes of the Divine Realm Council, the God-King cannot be sacrificed, because the God-King is already part of the divine realm's order, and sacrifice would weaken the divine realm. The sacrifice of the chief god needs to be carefully considered, but the Phoenix is ​​only a second-level god, and its death is insignificant.

"Sacrificing you to give us the chance to kill Han Tao is a price worth paying!"

The phoenix did not refuse, nor could it refuse; it could only descend to the lower realm amidst everyone's anticipation.

"somebody is coming!"

The fairy grass looked up at the sky.

Countless feathers fluttered in the sky, their wings as dazzling as the rising sun. On the Douluo Continent, countless birds and spirit beasts let out sharp cries.

"Is this here?"

The Phoenix God stood in the sky, as if treading on a staircase beneath the firmament, walking step by step toward Han Tao.

"Testing?"

I don't think it's necessary!

"The moment I came down, I had no way out. Only by killing Han Tao could I find a way to live!"

Flames burned on its body, and its fingers slowly extended, unleashing terrifying phoenix fire that instantly roared towards Han Tao's face.

"Phoenix Fire?"

Han Tao sensed the approaching flames, but simply smiled casually.

A brief fainting spell by the main consciousness does not mean that the consciousness projection is lost; even if the main consciousness faints and the remaining consciousness projections are completely silent, the void of good and evil still retains the authority of the "mind".

The retention of either side means that Han Tao can utilize the spacetime inscription to allow his entire consciousness to return.

"Having grown to this point, I now have an absolute capacity to make mistakes."

"However, there's no rush."

The phoenix fire, before it could even scorch the body, was extinguished by the order of the Blue Silver Clan.

The Lord of Beings looked at it curiously, his face full of doubt. "Why did the God Realm only send down a second-level god like you?" "Am I not enough for you?"

The Phoenix God amplified his tone and question.

The Lord of Life said no more to it, and with a soft whisper, he unleashed his killing intent: "Born of a soul from a body, all souls are under my control!"

"Uh"

The Phoenix God's body froze uncontrollably.

Consciousness and thought wanted to break free from the shackles of the mind, but it underestimated the Lord of the Mind, a being that even the God King of Destruction could not defeat. How could a mere second-level god like itself contend with such a being?

"Hmph, trash!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Asura God King uttered a disdainful whisper.

He was also relieved that he hadn't gone down to the mortal realm himself, otherwise he would have been in danger.

"Never mind." Han Tao sighed softly.

— Time and space are etched, consciousness returns.

With a physique of 96850, he could easily grasp the Phoenix God's neck, which had a strength of just over 10000, as if lifting a chicken.

"Han Tao, what happened to you just now?"

The Immortal Herb asked.

It didn't even ask about the fate of the Phoenix God, because the Phoenix God was unimportant to them and couldn't even stir the slightest ripple in Han Tao's heart.

Han Tao took a deep breath. "Not long ago, the world barrier turned transparent, and the thousands of years of history of Douluo Continent were laid bare before our eyes."

"Beyond the endless ages, beyond the thick barriers lie countless planes, an endless, radiant sky, more dazzling than the stars, a spiritual power even the Divine Origin Realm cannot bear."

The Evil Eye Tyrant raised his voice: "Then what should we do?"

"If you can't even use the senses within your evolved martial soul, wouldn't it lose its meaning?"

"Pupil, focus!" Han Tao uttered a term.

"Increasing the precision of the pupils and blurring the lateral vision, although it is essentially a limiter for the Eye of Time, it is indispensable to me!"

The Eye of Time has undergone another transformation, and the addition of the core module has led to the second iteration of the Eye of Time.

【Eye of Time, Strength: 1.4 → 1.5】

"Why did adding the limiter actually increase its strength?"

The Evil Eye Tyrant was puzzled, so he asked in a slightly different tone. Han Tao simply explained, "Because focusing ability is a function of the eye itself. As for whether it can focus precisely, observe controllable light wavelengths, observe directional textures, and filter pattern information, these specific functions are an enhancement for a martial soul."

"And what about my Di Ting?"

"Is it feasible to use 'Listen to the Sounds of the World' as an accessory for the eyes?"

The Evil Eye Overlord deepened his tone.

Han Tao hesitated for a moment before replying, "I suggest you find Ah Yin, find a reasonable and suitable solution, and then tell me the solution."

"I don't mind the increased functionality of the Eye of Time, but it can't come at the cost of its strength."

After answering its question, Han Tao looked at the Phoenix God.

With a gentle flick of the finger, the blood vessels within its body were drawn away. "Ah!"

"Phoenix Blood, a bloodline strength of 140."

"With the blessing of the Aberration Flower and Starshine, its strength reaches the absolute perfection of 150, but the benefit to me is limited."

As Han Tao recounted his experience, he replaced one of his own bloodlines with a Phoenix Blood of strength level 150, gaining 20 points in physique.

The Phoenix God's breathing quickened; it seemed to sense the killing intent in Han Tao's heart, and a great fear arose within it.

"Wait, wait!!"

"Han Tao, I'm willing to pledge my allegiance to you. I beg you, please don't kill me!"

The Phoenix God looked at Han Tao with fervent eyes.

It adopted a sincere act of repentance, but its posture lacked humility; instead, it solemnly declared:
"The realm of gods cannot tolerate soul beasts, nor can it tolerate me. I am willing to submit to you!"

"The phoenix has fallen, the dragon god has vanished, and the god kings of later generations will not allow soul beasts to become gods. Your Blue Silver Realm is their only place to go."

"As the Phoenix God, my identity naturally commands respect. I can guide them towards your Blue Silver Realm!"
