Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 105 Artifact, Five-Character Battle Armor

Tong Ruiren was also confused. It was originally just a struggle between mental power and star soul core, but why did it inexplicably turn into a hodgepodge?

Out of desperation, Tong Rui could only temporarily isolate the two soul cores, set up a mental barrier between them, and began to control the fusion of battle armor and soul bones.

That’s right, it’s fusion. Tong Rui couldn’t accept either of them being swallowed by the other.

The soul bones are fused with the bones of Tong Rui's important parts, while the battle armor is integrated with part of Tong Rui's soul and will. If either side is devoured, it will directly or indirectly cause Tong Rui to be seriously injured or even die.

And Tong Rui is now facing not only internal troubles, but also external threats.

Originally, using the Tree of Life as the core to activate the Spirit Gathering Array could speed up the replenishment of Tong Rui's vital energy from the outside world, thereby speeding up the condensation of the second soul core.

However, with the addition of soul bones and battle armor, the vitality of the outside world continuously rushed into Tong Rui's body, serving as a supplement to soul bones, battle armor, and even soul core.

Under the vast vitality of heaven and earth, the Tree of Life also continued to passively release life force. Tong Rui's body was being destroyed by the struggle between the two internally and replenished by life force externally.

The stars in the sky have begun to shine, and with the addition of moonlight power and star power, Tong Rui's physical strength is improving at an extremely obvious rate.

With the gathering of the elemental power of heaven and earth and the infiltration of the power of the stars, the soul bone armor was further replenished. At this time, the space and time around Tong Rui had begun to distort slightly.

Seeing that the battle armor was about to be devoured, Tong Rui made a bold decision to forge his body.

Using soul bones as metal, the battle armor and soul bones are fused together and forged together, with the help of the heavenly tribulation to complete the final sublimation.

Now that the decision has been made, Tong Rui quickly begins to implement it, but before that he has to solve the problem of condensing the soul core first.

Tong Rui gradually released the barrier between his soul cores, and intense pain continued to come. At this time, Tong Rui had to endure the physical pain, control the star soul core, and endure the constant feeling of weakness coming from the sea of ​​​​spiritual sea.

Relying on his strong willpower, he managed to hold on in such a painful state without even a tremor.

At the same time, Tong Rui tried his best to operate the "Star God Secret Codex". He wanted to use all his soul power to strengthen his body.

On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure that the star soul core brings to the spiritual soul core. On the other hand, the battle armor and the soul bone need to be fused through fusion forging. The only thing that can be used as a forging platform is Tong Rui's body. At this time, he must strengthen his body to the greatest extent possible.

A faint blue-purple starry halo began to appear on Tong Rui's bones and meridians. The cool feeling instantly reduced the pain caused by the impact.

The pain was slightly relieved, but Tong Rui did not relax at all, because the star soul core was continuing to improve along with the condensation of the spiritual soul core in the skull.

Tong Rui silently concentrated his mental power and controlled the Star Soul Core, making it run slower and slower, while the output of mental power became stable and continuous.

The spiritual soul core in the skull was growing larger, and its rotation speed and soul power absorption speed were also increasing. It also began to give Tong Rui a painful feeling.

The counterclockwise rotation made Tong Rui feel a headache. At this time, he kept feeling waves of swelling and pain, but Tong Rui did not have much time left. The soul power riot caused by the battle between the battle armor and the soul bone armor began to fluctuate again.

As the battle armor began to be devoured by the soul bone armor, Tong Rui felt a little empty in his heart, as if something intimate was being lost. With a ruthless heart, Tong Rui fully opened the barrier between the soul cores.

Gradually, Tong Rui lost all perception of the outside world, but now he can clearly feel that his body is on the verge of collapse.

The speed of the spiritual soul core in the skull was getting faster and faster. Tong Rui's mental power was completely invested in it and he had no way to stop it. Instead, under its influence, he lost control of his mental power.

As a result, the star power itself began to distort, and the star soul core was touched and began to explode in anger.

Although Tong Rui tried his best to stop it, the Star Soul Core was constantly replenishing itself with star power from outside Douluo Star. Tong Rui's mental power was blocked by the Spirit Soul Core, so he could only watch the two crush each other.

Even though his soul power was still silently strengthening his body, Tong Rui still felt as if his body was about to be torn apart by these two terrifying forces.

In the outside world, the devouring of the Soul Bone Armor and the Battle Armor has never stopped, but with the distortion of time and space, the Soul Bone Armor is unable to devour the Battle Armor for a while.

Tong Rui sighed. Even if he wanted to stop the condensation of the second soul core now, it would be difficult to do so.

Most of Tong Rui's soul power is made up of star power, and now the star power is controlled by the star soul core, and the mental power is controlled by the mental soul core. The soul bones and battle armor are devouring each other. Tong Rui can't even simply control his body now.

Just as Tong Rui was thinking about how to break the impasse, suddenly, Tong Rui's Space-Time Treasure House martial spirit emerged out of thin air. Then, a layer of bright silver light quickly rushed out from his dantian and quickly spread to Tong Rui's entire body.

Neither the mental power released from the spiritual soul core nor the star power from the star soul core could prevent the appearance of this bright silver light.

Because this bright silver energy was completely integrated into Tong Rui's blood. In just a few breaths, the meridians in Tong Rui's body had completely turned into a mixture of blue-purple, bright gold, silver, and scarlet, and even his blood and internal organs were the same.

From the outside, Tong Rui looked solemn, with golden light all over his body. And behind him, a figure who looked exactly like Tong Rui, but slightly older, appeared.

Behind him, there were ten colorful golden halos. He raised his right hand, and a stream of energy entered the time-space gemstone, then disappeared without a trace.

Tong Rui, who was marveling at the amazing changes in his body, suddenly had a new trick in his mind - future body.

This trick is extremely powerful. Without affecting the direction of time and space, Tong Rui can borrow some of the power of his future self.

The power of this move lies in the fact that borrowing power from the future does not mean drawing it from one's future self, but rather using the time and space gem to project oneself at a certain point in time to the present, thereby bringing out the level that one's existing abilities can reach in the future.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to that when Tong Rui is at level 90, he can project his level 99 self to the present. In a short period of time, Tong Rui can obtain the strength of level 99.

But if the future Tong Rui re-mastered some abilities during the period from level 90 to 99, this was unknown to the current Tong Rui at level 90. Therefore, the current Tong Rui at level 90 could only use the abilities he currently mastered to reach the level of level 99. With the replenishment of bright silver power, the spirit soul core was replenished instantly. As the two soul cores were evenly matched, the star soul core finally gave up the fight with the spirit soul core and turned to spin on its own.

After the formation of the Yin-Yang balanced dual soul cores, the power of the two soul cores blended with each other, or collided with each other, recombining, baptizing, and concentrating Tong Rui's power. At this time, Tong Rui's soul power actually possessed the characteristics of both mental power and star power.

At the same time, the new soul power generated also became a vortex. This vortex soul power is a combination of mental power and soul power. It has extremely destructive power.

At this time, the soul power was also compressed to the extreme. Tong Rui could feel that after the breakthrough, the total amount of soul power was at least three times that of before. Moreover, it was compressed. The combat power was at least five times stronger than before.

As the soul core was condensed, the gathered energy of heaven and earth immediately spread out to the surroundings. At this time, there were many ten-year-old soul beasts on the mountain that were promoted to hundred-year-old soul beasts. However, these soul beasts were originally gentle soul beasts, and even after becoming stronger, they did not cause any fights.

But the problem of the soul core was solved, but the grudge between the battle armor and the soul bone was not resolved. Although the bright silver color prevented the soul bone armor from swallowing it, after the future time and space power was absorbed by Tong Rui, the soul bone armor also completed a thorough evolution.

At this time, the shadow of the soul bone armor had become extremely solid, and the speed of devouring the battle armor had also increased significantly. Tong Rui knew that he could not wait any longer.

Tong Rui's eyes shone brightly, and his body was intertwined with blue-purple and scarlet. With the release of the killing field, under the control of mental power, the surrounding air instantly stagnated, and all elements of all attributes completely disappeared at this moment, and the whole room seemed to be imprisoned.

Using his body as a forging platform and the soul power that was a combination of mental power and star power as a hammer, Tong Rui continuously beat the soul bones and battle armor on his body from the inside out.

Tong Rui's move really worked. The two no longer devoured each other, but instead joined forces to fight the enemy.

Every time Tong Rui's soul power struck, the battle armor and the soul bone armor repelled each other and merged with each other.

After nearly a day, Tong Rui had been maintaining the forging of his whole body. Seeing that it was almost done, Tong Rui immediately circulated his Qi and blood vigorously, using his Qi and blood as fire and the world as a furnace, gathering the vitality of the world to hammer and forge the armor on his body.

The vitality that had been isolated outside quickly gathered together, and the soul bones and battle armor on his body began to blend with each other. Tong Rui's whole body was glowing, and a strange sense of life also emerged with the battle armor.

Thousand forgings have spirits, spirit forging creates life, and soul forging gives wisdom. At this time, the battle armor is like an independent life.

Tong Rui could also clearly feel that this piece of metal had a blood connection with him. It seemed to be calling him.

Tong Rui continued to hammer with his soul power, and the armor itself was also absorbing his power. During the forging process, the armor itself was also striving to transform and grow.

This feeling is so wonderful. Tong Rui gradually immersed himself in it. This is not just forging, but also communication. The light became stronger and stronger, and gradually turned into a layer of light shield, covering Tong Rui's whole body.

It was unknown how much time had passed. When Tong Rui and the armor were interacting with each other through soul power and mental power, suddenly, the armor shook violently, and turned into a golden light that shot up into the sky, carrying Tong Rui suspended in the air.

At this moment, suddenly, the entire peak was filled with wind and clouds. The extremely strong elements condensed at an unprecedented speed. A thick layer of seven-colored calamity clouds condensed and formed almost instantly.

"Is this the catastrophe of the seven-colored elements?"

The soul power in Tong Rui's body suddenly boiled, he summoned the Star God Pearl in his hand, and the second soul ring shone. His vitality and mental power were constantly replenished. Tong Rui wanted to withstand the thunder catastrophe with his physical body and armor.

At this time, the powerful movement on the mountain attracted almost everyone in the sect. Just as Tong Qingtian and the others were about to get closer, they saw a bolt of lightning falling instantly, pointing directly at Tong Rui.

The colorful electric light flowed and hit Tong Rui along the armor, causing Tong Rui's whole body to shake violently. With the replenishment of vitality, Tong Rui recovered immediately.

"Boom" another thunder followed, which was several times stronger than the previous one.

This time there was not just one bolt of lightning, but three in succession, falling in an instant.

Tong Rui neither retreated nor dodged. The Star-Destroying Sword in his hand solidified into shape. The dazzling light transformed into star rays in the air. He actually resisted so stubbornly.

"Boom, boom, boom!" This time, the power of the three elemental thunder tribulations was much greater. Although Tong Rui barely resisted it, he was still blown back to the ground and fell heavily.

Tong Rui quickly stood up, his eighth soul ring lit up, the star core quickly condensed into shape, and the intention of star-devouring burst out. Five elemental catastrophes that fell from the sky in an instant collapsed one after another, and then turned into colorful light points that were forcibly swallowed up by Tong Rui and disappeared.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the elemental calamity became more intense. Even more terrifying was that in the air, a ball of colorful light began to condense rapidly, spherical lightning!

Colorful spherical lightning fell from the sky like a meteor. Tong Rui's first and third soul rings lit up one after another. As chains shot out from the air, wrapped in purple light, the spherical lightning was sealed in place.

Tong Rui's sixth soul ring lit up, and the spear in his hand pierced into the spherical lightning. As the star-devouring power was activated, traces of thunder were directed into the armor on Tong Rui's body.

The next moment, the devouring intent in Tong Rui's hand changed, and the intent of destruction became prominent. As the star field was activated, the spear in his hand became more solid.

"Boom boom boom!" Thunders exploded in the air. The Elemental Tribulation seemed to be angry at Tong Rui's provocation.

Tong Rui decisively threw the spear in his hand. Suddenly, the sky darkened and the earth seemed to be upside down. A terrifying atmosphere spread in the air.

The calamity clouds in the sky suddenly felt like they were falling apart. Starlight emerged from the calamity clouds, piercing through the colorful calamity clouds. It lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually dissipating, and at the same time, all the colorful thunder calamities in the sky also dissipated.

The battle armor returned to Tong Rui's body. As Tong Rui's mind moved, the battle armor was attached to his body in an instant. The style was simple, but full of mystery. The whole body was presented in a strange color. Looking closely, it was a mixture of blue-purple, scarlet, bright silver and brilliant gold.

The battle armor fits firmly on Tong Rui's body, and suddenly, an unprecedented feeling comes over him. It's as if his whole body has become different. It's no longer a feeling of strength, but a complete transformation, a change from ordinary to holy!
With the condensation of the Yin-Yang dual soul cores, Tong Rui's physical level has surpassed that of ordinary people by two levels. But even so, Tong Rui still feels that his body has a sense of becoming an immortal.

"Starry Sky Supreme, this is the name you imagined in your mind. I have already reached the level of a divine weapon, and should be considered a five-word battle armor." A thought was transmitted into Tong Rui's spiritual sea, full of calmness, but also with a bit of pride.
