Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 56: Qian Lao's past, the fallen kingdom and the blood-red nine-headed bat king who should have died
Hearing this, Shu Yan looked at Qiangu Chaosheng with a little surprise, but then nodded and did not refuse.

Qiangu Chaosheng was not surprised by Shu Yan's attitude. A hint of reminiscence appeared in his still bright eyes, and then he spoke softly:

"I was born in a small town in the southern part of Xingluo. My father's martial spirit is the Coiled Dragon Stick, and my mother's martial spirit is the mutated Wind Chasing Wolf."

"When I was six years old, I successfully awakened my father's Panlong Staff martial spirit, and finally learned from my father the origin and past of our lineage."

"But I was still young at that time, and I didn't have much understanding of what my father said. All I wanted in my heart was to become a powerful spirit master. First, I didn't want to disappoint my parents, but more importantly, I wanted to satisfy my desire for great strength and lofty status."

"Young people always have their own ambitions and goals, but all of this will eventually change as they grow older. This is also the case with growth due to reality and various reasons. Slowly, I have seen a lot more clearly, and finally understood the true meaning of what my father said to me back then."

Qian Gu Chao Sheng said this, sighed softly, and then continued:

"The watershed of my life probably started from here. In the first half of my life, I lived for my youthful ambition, and in the second half, I fought for my family and my family."

"The year I broke through to the Titled Douluo realm, my mother also passed away due to illness. Sad and confused, I said goodbye to my father and other elders and embarked on a journey across the continent. It was this trip that truly changed my life."

Shu Yan clearly sensed the change in Qiangu Chaosheng's tone. It was an extremely complex feeling, mixed with hatred, regret, relief and other emotions, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.

Just as Shu Yan was thinking, Qiangu Chaosheng's slightly low voice sounded again:

"During that trip across the continent, I accidentally stepped into a ruin full of strange things."

"There, I encountered a dying beast-level being..."

"The beast..."

Shu Yan was slightly startled, and his expression changed slightly as he looked at Qiangu Chaosheng, as if he did not expect that the other party had experienced such a thing.

Qiangu Chaosheng didn't seem surprised by Shu Yan's surprise. He shook his head and chuckled, then continued:

"It was a long time after I came out of that ruin that I learned the real name of the ruin from ancient books. It was from then on that I jumped from an ordinary Titled Douluo who didn't even have a 100,000-year spirit ring to a top Titled Douluo with three 100,000-year spirit rings. From then on, my path of cultivation was smooth. Less than 20 years later, I reached the 98th level."

At this point, Shu Yan really couldn't sit still. A Titled Douluo chose to travel around the continent after his mother passed away, then encountered some ruins on the way, and then completed a great transformation and rose step by step. Isn't this a perfect template for the protagonist?

Looking at Qiangu Chaosheng in front of him, Shu Yan had a lot of thoughts, but soon, he caught a hint of something unusual.

"Master Qian, can you tell me what kind of existence is in the ruins you entered that can make you change so much in such a short time..."

Qiangu Chaosheng just looked at Shu Yan quietly, and after a long time he said softly:
"It was once the city of killing, a place of killing and freedom where countless evils in the world were imprisoned."

"And that beast was the former blood-red nine-headed bat king." Shu Yan was slightly stunned, and then said in disbelief:
"After the Slaughter City was destroyed by Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King also fell at his hands. How could it be possible for it to appear in this era as a ferocious beast?"

Qiangu Chaosheng shook his head slightly and corrected Shu Yan's words:

"The blood-red nine-headed bat king from ten thousand years ago did not perish. At the last moment before it was dissolved by the light of the sea god, it used some secret method to allow its soul to escape, and finally be reborn in the endless sea of ​​blood."

"After the Slaughter City was destroyed, all the evil soul masters imprisoned there returned to the world. The sea of ​​blood that spread out completely engulfed all the living beings within a hundred miles, making it an ominous place filled with bloody fog all day long."

"According to common sense, without the protection of the sea of ​​blood, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King should not have much longer to live, but this guy has managed to survive for nearly ten thousand years using various methods, and even reached a point where his cultivation reached nearly half a million years..."

"It came with the intention of taking over my body at first, but it had almost reached its limit in the last catastrophe. Even after thousands of years of cultivation, it was still too weak. It had a powerful cultivation but no corresponding strength. It could only rely on its mental power to create an illusion to trap me and slowly corrode and parasite me."

“But what it never dreamed of was that the Evil-Smashing Dragon that was parasitic in my Coiling Dragon Staff martial spirit was a special existence formed by the righteousness of heaven and earth, and had the ability to destroy all evil. The Evil-Smashing Dragon, which was awakened by the strong stimulation, caused great damage to its already fragile self at the last moment, and also allowed my consciousness to regain control of my body. At that time, it had almost injected all of its own cultivation and origin into my body and sealed them…”

"Later, with the help of my father and many elders, I completely cleared this fellow's dormant soul. His cultivation of more than 500,000 years and his powerful origin all became my own. This allowed me to complete a complete transformation in such a short period of time..."

The corners of Shu Yan's mouth twitched wildly, the look of disbelief in his eyes was almost undisguised, and the feeling in his heart was indescribably stimulating and numb.

I originally thought that you achieved what you have today through your own hard work, but now you tell me that after you broke through to the Titled Douluo level, a legendary resource package just came to your doorstep?

Qiangu Chaosheng watched Shu Yan's expression change, then sighed again and continued:
“It’s a blessing, but it’s also a torture for me.”

"The original soul power of the ferocious beast-level blood-red nine-headed bat king is almost all tainted with its own evil attributes. When refining this soul power, the evil-breaking dragon soul that resides in the martial soul will riot uncontrollably from time to time. I have already said the reason. How could the evil-breaking dragon condensed by the righteousness of heaven and earth allow its master to accept evil power..."

"When I broke through to level ninety-eight, the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul rioted again. It was during that riot that the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul caused irreparable damage to my essence in its struggle with those evil energies. This also prevented me from ever becoming an Ultimate Douluo again..."

Shu Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"Then your life is about to come to an end, is it because of the poison of the blood-red nine-headed bat king?"

Qiangu Chaosheng shook his head, with a hint of obvious regret in his eyes.

"At that time, I had just fallen in love with a woman from the Xingguan Sect. My lover learned about my situation and introduced me to the Medical Immortal Douluo, who was the continent's number one healing spirit master at the time. As a result, I joined the Xingluo Worship Hall. In the following decades, through the continuous efforts of the three of us, we were able to completely remove the poison that had penetrated deep into my bones, and even expelled the faint evil energy in my original spirit power..."

"It's a pity that I met the Medical Immortal too late. Otherwise, even if the damage to my essence could not be completely healed, at least some of it could be remedied. Even if it was only a little, it would never have kept me at a mere level 98 now..."

"As for my life span, haha, it can actually be considered perfect. After all, an ordinary level 98 Super Douluo cannot live to my age. I am able to live until now thanks to the huge vitality left by the blood-red nine-headed bat king..."
