Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 653 Flaw, Unexpected Event

"Let me make a choice?"

Han Tao paused slightly.

The world's engraved patterns lost their effect, and he could no longer use this system to travel to the vast continent. This also meant that Han Tao and the Blue Silver Realm were separated.

The thoughts of the God of Destruction stirred up waves once again: "When the Evil God King breaks through again, the entire God Realm will be sublimated again, and our many God Kings will advance further. But you, who have lost the Blue Silver Realm, will die here, on this continent where you were born."

A hint of disdain flickered in his eyes.

The "energy storage" in the organ system is real, the "heart of life" of God-King quality is real, the information of the power of creation is real, and countless pieces of real information make Han Tao stronger and also conceal their true purpose—"to keep Han Tao away from the Blue Silver Realm!"

"Hey"

Han Tao sighed, "I underestimated you!"

"It seems your information is correct. The last bit of the power of creation is hidden within the Netherworld. But what is this power?"

His gaze focused slightly, then glanced briefly at Zhu Zhuqing.

The God of Destruction did not answer, and even the illusion could not read his thoughts, because the conversation here was noticed by the God of Kindness, who used her "kind heart" to cover Han Tao's illusion.

"--snort!"

Han Tao smiled gently, "Destruction God King, I know even if you don't say it, the truth of all things in the world, the essence of heaven and earth, are all exposed under the gaze of time."

"In the Douluo Continent, the highest form of punishment is the Heavenly Tribulation. The highest punishment in the God Realm will reach beyond Asura and Judgment. This power is called Heavenly Retribution!"

The God of Destruction's expression turned faintly pale.

He didn't understand how Han Tao knew this truth. He saw Han Tao's gaze pointing to the far north, where the starry sky was, and beyond the other side of deep space, where a god stood.

Zhu Zhuqing scoffed, "But what's the point?"

"Even if you knew all this, what could you change? Han Tao, you realized it far too late!"

Han Tao did not respond.

Instead, it used the time-space engravings on its skin, allowing its body to travel through endless years and arrive at a time from long ago.

"here it is"

Zhu Zhuqing used the Netherworld White Tiger to try to track Han Tao's movements, but suddenly, her expression turned ashen.

"How can it be!"

Her face was blank.

She can reach the distant past and the near future, but this particular time and space is one she can never reach.

"--hehe!"

Han Tao's tone was sarcastic.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I will always remember your past!"

"Back then, in order to obtain the growth base of Guzhu, you deliberately caused your martial spirit to degenerate. Your martial spirit degenerated from Netherworld Cat to Spirit Cat, losing that Netherworld power."

Therefore, this period of time is a past she can never reach, and a flaw she can never mend no matter how hard she tries.

The Douluo Continent, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Han Tao stepped down from the void. Zhu Zhuqing, who was once a fan, looked at Han Tao with a slightly confused expression.

"Han Tao, is there something you need from me this time?"

Han Tao looked at her, his expression somewhat complicated.

The Zhu Zhuqing of the past had never betrayed him, but when she did, he was powerless to stop her. The only option was to find this time and space that believed in him and kill an innocent person.

"Hey"

Han Tao sighed.

Without even offering Zhu Zhuqing an explanation, the sharp edge of time gleamed, easily erasing her vitality.

She's dead.

Zhu Zhuqing's physical body perished, and her soul drifted in the air. Han Tao could have used the Order of Destruction to destroy her last glimmer of light.

But at the crucial moment, Han Tao hesitated again.

"Something's not right!" "The process went too smoothly. She's made such a huge mistake obvious, so why does she dare to be so openly hostile to me?"

So, she quietly removed a gemstone and collected the remaining part of her soul.

At the same time, Han Tao placed the Destruction Furnace in the sky, annihilating the remaining energy in the air with overwhelming force.

"Hahahahahaha."

Sensing something, Han Tao looked up at the sky, then into the depths of the mist.

The evil god-king was laughing maniacally, seemingly praising his own plans. This was his past self, the former evil god.

He didn't know that Han Tao could observe the divine realm through the Eye of Time, and even deduce the content of the words through the vibrations in the air.

"She's dead!!"

"Han Tao, I'm imitating you, I'm learning from you."

The Arena of Life and Death is the territory of the evil god. He could see clearly how Han Tao usurped the throne, and he greatly admired this plan. So he imitated Han Tao and took control of everything that followed.

He wanted Han Tao to kill Zhu Zhuqing, to kill her with his own hands, and then to inherit Zhu Zhuqing's path, while he would look down on her and mock her from a high position.

Only Zhu Zhuqing died.

"Only then can I inherit her past and future, her body and martial spirit, and the destiny she is destined to arrive at, in order to try to grasp that enormous Netherworld power!"

Beyond the mist, a magnificent tiger slowly emerged.

Its body rippled with boundless evil, while order and origin converged beneath it, and a projection of consciousness flickered.

"so."

Han Tao looked up at the sky, at the realm of the gods.

"The one who betrayed me later was not Zhu Zhuqing, but the evil god who usurped my place?"

Han Tao shook his head again: "The established history cannot be changed. If I do not kill her, she will still be the one who betrayed me. But if I do kill her, the evil god will take over her body and complete the history that has already happened."

"I've confirmed my suspicions!"

Under the guidance of the evil god, Zhu Zhuqing's body gradually solidified, but the soul beneath her body was replaced by a deity from another world.

"What's the use of being resurrected?"

"Zhu Zhuqing cannot withstand my sword. A blade that even a God-King would find difficult to contend with, how could a mere projection of your consciousness possibly resist it?"

A smile played on Han Tao's lips as he held the Sword of Time in his hand, its blade piercing through countless images of time, aiming at the gradually resurrecting girl before him.

"--puff!"

The sword's edge pierced into nothingness.

"Human, you can't kill me!"

The projection of the evil god's consciousness looked at Han Tao and let out a contemptuous laugh, "The arena of life and death is my territory. I control a complete world. No living being, no matter how strong, can contend with a world."

The body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also fled from the arena of life and death, along with Zhu Zhuqing, avoiding the murderous intent in Han Tao's eyes.

"This time, I won!"

The voice of the evil god gradually faded away, just as his form was disappearing from the arena of life and death.

"you win?"

Han Tao looked at their fading figures and let out a long sigh.

His figure flickered in time and space, and this time, Han Tao found a time that the divine realm could not observe, and arrived at that vast and boundless sea.

"The Abyss Sea!"

"The ancient Netherworld's fallen land, its death transformed itself into a soul ring, a soul ring with a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years."

Just as Han Tao arrived at this place...
Zhu Zhuqing, possessed by the spirit, also arrived. She couldn't understand why Han Tao had killed her past self but hadn't perished in the passage of time. This question lingered in her mind, but it didn't seem so important now.

"Han Tao, what are you doing here?" Zhu Zhuqing questioned.

His expression carried an air of indifferent arrogance, as if he were smug about being able to converse with Han Tao on equal footing. However, the person in front of him stopped in his tracks, standing before a soul ring of unimaginable beauty.
