Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 644 The Marking

"Since you've chosen to take action..."

"Why bother trying to escape? How could I possibly let you go so easily?"

Han Tao slowly smiled.

His fingers slowly opened, and the color of the sky, following Han Tao's will, sealed off the space like a giant cage.

"This is impossible!"

The evil god-king's tone was bleak, because he had seen a certain pattern in space, a pattern that gave birth to the power of space.

"This is."

The Goddess of Life hesitated before reaching out her hand, seemingly recognizing the inscription, and slightly opened her mouth: "Spatial inscriptions, a unique product of the Netherworld."

"It can seal off the space here!"

Han Tao smiled amiably, looking down at them with the air of a victor.

“I know your hostility, I anticipated your attack. When your plan to kill me falls into failure, you also lose your chance to leave.”

"The Seven Deadly Sins Gods, the Seven Elemental Gods, they cannot save you!"

In the realm of gods, an endless order descends.

The Lord of the Underworld possessed a massive body of air, yet it still could not break free from the shackles of 99999 strength. Standing before Han Tao, it wielded malice and hatred as its sharpest blades.

"absurd!"

"Lord of the Underworld, you're courting death!"

The Blue Silver Consciousness sublimated into the Heavenly Dao, and order and rules transformed into chains, firmly imprisoning it.

"Uh"

The Lord of the Underworld attempted to break free.

"Humans, humans, damn humans!"

"You call yourselves gods, yet you dare to try and use me. And you, why must you kill me?"

It cannot distinguish between enemies and allies, and it harbors malice towards all living beings that enter the Netherworld.

"You want to kill me?"

Han Tao looked at it, but shook his head. "You can't do it, and you should know that you're about to die!"

The forces of evil, hatred, and slaughter were isolated by the Blue Silver Realm. The blade between Han Tao's fingers pierced its body time and time again, and its language was dying out.

"No, I can't die!"

Its heart was filled with the will to survive: "The Netherworld is my place, it belongs to me, I beg the Netherworld to open the passage."

Suddenly, a gap appeared in the Netherworld, and its body abruptly escaped the space, traversing into the endless depths of space.

"--snort!"

Han Tao glanced at it disdainfully.

Traveling through deep space via planes also involves unpredictable risks. Even the gods might perish in a spacetime storm, and whether the Lord of the Underworld can survive depends entirely on his fate.

"By clearing the Netherworld, you also clear your rank!"

The evolution of the Netherworld has reached its final sublimation.

"Next, it's your turn!"

Han Tao silently looked at the five god kings. The face of the evil god king was ashen, and the fingers of the Asura god king trembled and hummed.

"How to do?"

The Asura God looked at the Evil God King, "Didn't you make many plans?"

"Then you should have anticipated the worst-case scenario, and how we should respond in that case."

The evil god-king remained silent.

Han Tao's dimensional power slowly pressed down on the body of the Asura God King. Its body, bearing the pressure of the dimensional force, began to break down, and its near-perfect system gradually became damaged.

"say!"

The Asura God's anger flared instantly. "Speak! How are we supposed to face Han Tao's murderous intent? You don't think he'll let you go, do you?"

The evil god-king laughed bitterly, "Hahahaha."

"I did anticipate the worst-case scenario, and surviving in such a scenario would naturally come at a price!"

"cost?"

The Asura God King was taken aback. "What price? There's no distinction between profit and loss now. We're willing to pay any price."

"Your life!"

The evil god-king spoke decisively.

"The hatred between you and Han Tao is irreconcilable. Only if you die at his hands can Han Tao reduce his killing intent towards us."

The goddess of life asked, "And then?"

The Asura God looked at him in disbelief, seemingly finding it hard to believe.

"Why should I?" "Why do you think that if I die, Han Tao will let you go?"

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life smiled. "Han Tao will let us go; it's part of the previous deal!"

"What about them?"

The Asura God pointed to good and evil.

"trade!"

"Only by offering something that can move Han Tao, something that can truly win his heart, can we exchange our lives for it!"

The Evil God King slowly explained, and he even stepped forward and patted the Asura God King on the shoulder.

"Asura God, you are the god-king of the old era, we will remember you."

The Asura God King remained silent.

He had always made others sacrifice and make sacrifices, but one day it was his turn.

"Han Tao!"

The bright red stomach still gleamed.

The Asura God King stood before Han Tao, exuding the arrogance of a monarch, displaying a heroic spirit as he faced death.

"what happened?"

Han Tao looked at him, slightly puzzled.

"Han Tao, I know what you want!"

"Oh?"

The Asura God King maintained his dignity as a God King, saying, "The Shadow of the Epoch and the Emblem of Civilization need to be collected by traversing multiple worlds, and beyond the Douluo plane lies the endless deep space."

Han Tao remained silent.

"Han Tao, it has taken you seven months to come to this plane from Douluo Continent. But it will take much longer to come to other planes, even more distant ones."

"and then?"

"Although the lifespan of a god-king is long, I know you are unwilling to wait. The answer you crave lies in the realm of gods."

The Asura God King stood before Han Tao, his chest puffed out.

His order is being eroded by the Blue Silver Realm, and the intact system of his body's organization is being destroyed under the suppression of the realm, causing his body's strength to endlessly decline from 99999.

99999, 80000, 60000
"The answer? What answer?"

Han Tao asked again.

He stroked his chin, becoming somewhat interested.

Because it takes at least several decades to travel from the Heavenly Bead Dimension to the Divine Seal Dimension, there is a high possibility of encountering unpredictable risks along the way.

"Han Tao, I don't believe you!"

"Although you have never broken your promise, I still do not trust you. Now, please fulfill your past promises and let the goddess of destruction and life leave. Only then can we have the premise for the next transaction."

The Asura God King's body slid down once again.

His physical strength dropped to 30000, which was the limit given by the growth value. No matter how hard Han Tao tried, he could not destroy the remaining power.

"can!"

Han Tao waved his hand, "Tell them to get lost!"

The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction separated from the Blue Silver Realm and left through the rift in the Netherworld Space, before being guided back to the God Realm by the God of Space.

"It's your turn. What's next?"

Han Tao looked at him again.

The Asura God composed himself, organized his thoughts, and began to explain the principles of how the divine realm traverses lower planes.

"The God-King rank is not just a simple God-King rank."

"The Shadow of the Epoch, Sincere Faith, Emblem of Civilization, Projection of Consciousness, and the Soul Contract you developed are all components of the God-King rank, and it is also a unique mark."

Han Tao frowned. "A unique mark, what does that mean?"

The Asura God King sighed, looked at the evil and the good beside him, and his tone became weaker.

Even if he didn't tell, the evil god king would tell Han Tao, and then exchange his life for the life of the kind goddess.

“Marking is a form of positioning. We can use spatial inscription to allow our bodies to travel to the corresponding planes.”

A special pattern suddenly appeared on the inner layer of the Asura God King's skin, but before the power of this pattern could be activated, it was blocked by the power of the Blue Silver Domain.

"Oh~"

Han Tao smiled and immediately understood what Shura was saying: "The engraving of dimensional markers!"

"I understand, she can leave!"

After speaking, Han Tao released the Blue Silver Realm and returned the Goddess of Kindness to the God Realm.

The blade of time flashed once more, piercing the already degraded body of the Asura God, while simultaneously glancing at the evil God King beside him.

"This is a good offer. I've let the kind goddess go. What about you?"

"Evil God-King, you are the mastermind behind this plan. What price are you willing to pay to save your life?"

The evil god-king lowered his head in deep thought.
