Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 192: Behemoth Bloodline, Unstoppable
Chen Ming's physical strength was already very high. After suppressing the ferocity in this soul bone, the fusion went exceptionally smoothly.

After about half an hour, Chen Ming completely refined this external soul bone that no one had been able to absorb in hundreds of years in the Spirit Hall. As the gold attribute of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear itself merged into Chen Ming's right palm, the gold attribute of the Strange Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in Chen Ming's body also gradually reacted.

The golden elixir soul core rotated, and strands of special soul power were injected into the right palm. This eighty thousand year old soul bone was madly absorbing this special golden power as if it had seen a rare delicacy. With the help of Chen Ming's strong vitality, the quality and age of the soul bone improved rapidly.

Under this extremely special circumstance, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodline power in the external soul bone was activated, and the bloodline power hidden deep within it gradually awakened, making this soul bone even more magical.

After another half an hour, the growth of the soul bone finally stopped. The original age of 80,000 years completely crossed the threshold of 100,000 years under the effect of the golden nature of the Qirong Tongtianju, and it was completely refined by Chen Ming and became a part of his body.

Strictly speaking, this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right metacarpal bone can no longer be called a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear soul bone. Chen Ming's origin has caused irreversible changes to the soul bone. As time goes by, the mark of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear in the soul bone will gradually disappear, and the entire soul bone will continue to be transformed into a shape that suits Chen Ming.

After careful perception, Chen Ming also knew the two soul skills in this external soul bone.

One of the soul skills is the Dark Gold Terror Claw, which is the signature skill of soul beasts such as the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. It is said to be indestructible and can even tear apart space. In the hands of the strongest of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear lineage, the Bear Lord, it has evolved into an even more powerful Sky Tearing Claw.

It can be said to be a powerful skill that can decide the outcome in a battle. With a lifespan of 100,000 years, even the body of an ordinary ferocious beast would be torn apart directly.

The second soul skill comes from the source of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a creature called Behemoth.

The origin of the Behemoth is a powerful god king from another world. This soul beast feeds on dragons and is the enemy of the dragon clan. Douluo Continent itself is closely related to the dragon clan, so there are no real Behemoth soul beasts and martial spirits in the world. There are only various soul beasts with the blood of Behemoth, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is one of them.

This skill is called Unstoppable, and it is the signature skill of the Behemoth. After being activated, it will greatly enhance the attack power for a period of time. Every melee attack will be accompanied by a powerful golden force, and every attack will cause area damage.

To put it in perspective, it is equivalent to replacing every subsequent normal attack with a weakened version of the Dark Gold Terror Claw.

Although this skill is powerful, it also has a huge price. This skill not only consumes a large amount of soul power, but also consumes a lot of vitality. Every time the weakened version of Dark Gold Claw is used, it will consume a lot of energy. It can be regarded as a kryptonian life skill.

Even if an ordinary soul master only briefly activates this soul skill, it will cause irreversible damage to the body. It is a double-edged sword that can only be used to fight for one's life.

But this problem is nothing to Chen Ming. After all, he has a dragon pill with life attributes, which can transform soul power into life force. As long as he controls himself and does not burn out his life force at once, Chen Ming can make up for the shortfall.

Taking the gold property of the Qirong Tongtianju as an introduction, Chen Ming introduced the gold property of the Dark Gold Claw into his body during the process of refining the Dark Gold Claw. Now Chen Ming has another gold property that is very close to the extreme.

Although this level of Behemoth bloodline can no longer change Chen Ming's martial soul, it still has some improvements on the basic attributes, but it is not so obvious.

And because Douluo Continent does not welcome soul beasts like Behemoth, Chen Ming has no way to continue to obtain soul beasts like Behemoth from it.
Well, strictly speaking, Behemoth is not even a soul beast. So the power of the Behemoth clan that Chen Ming can obtain from this soul bone is quite limited.

To be honest, Chen Ming himself was thinking whether his attributes were a little too much. However, considering that he could become a god in the future, Chen Ming felt that having more attributes was not a problem. Maybe in the future he could simply condense an "elemental" godhood that governed all elements?
After all, after coming into contact with the divine power of the three great masters, Shura God, Rakshasa God, and Angel God, Chen Ming has already realized that the position of the gods in the Douluo world is relatively complex and not so pure. The position of a god has many different attributes.

The Angel God is an angel, and his apparent powers are light and fire. Because he led humans to defeat soul beasts, he is regarded by humans as the God of Holiness and Hope, and thus gains the power of Holiness and Hope.

Because the sun is light and fire, and the angel god itself has two powers, holiness and hope, people believe in the sun god. This large number of powers together constitute the angel god.

The Asura God is in charge of killing, which is divided into righteous killing and evil killing. It is only because there are two gods in the God Realm, the God of Evil and the God of Good, that the Asura God can only be involved in a part of it, balancing between justice and evil, and thus has the power of judgment.

Rakshasa is an evil god, but he does not control all evil. To be more precise, he is the integration of hatred. He has evil, hatred, killing, and even a little bit of the power of revenge and judgment. Although it is weak and sounds nonsense, it does have a little bit.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. After all, Rakshasa God must have killed a lot of people, and these people must have enemies. In the eyes of these people's enemies, Rakshasa God is the god of revenge and judgment who avenged them. Even if there are not many such people, it is easy for them to have pure faith, which will naturally allow Rakshasa God to acquire these two attributes to a certain extent.

Because the power of Rakshasa God overlaps with that of Shura God, and Shura God is a stronger king of the divine world than Rakshasa God, Shura God can use the power of Rakshasa God to create puppets to a certain extent. Well, by the way, Chen Ming thinks that the position of Angel God should also have the power of revenge.

After all, in the era of the Angel God, humans and soul beasts had hatred. When the Angel God killed soul beasts, it was equal to hope in the eyes of humans, but also equal to revenge in the eyes of some people.

Even the Angel God who killed the auspicious beast alone, which Chen Ming saw in the pendant, was also driven by revenge. So it should not be surprising that the Angel God has this kind of power in his godhood. However, this part of the power should have been actively eliminated by the Angel God later.

Through the information provided by Douluo World and his own contact with gods, Chen Ming also understood that there are actually two paths to becoming a god.

The first path is to directly strengthen one's own essence, force one's essence to leap forward, and then become a god. In the era when soul beasts could still become gods, soul beasts basically became gods through this path.

This kind of godhood is not very strong and requires a little bit of strengthening. But the advantage is freedom, and the ability to transform one's own bloodline to bless future generations.

Strictly speaking, Chen Ming can actually be considered to be on this path now. After all, although his body is weak and his mental strength has not changed qualitatively, the origin of his soul has indeed reached the realm of God during the process of crossing.

Although it is weak, it is also god-level, so Chen Ming has been improving his soul power without any signs of going astray. Because he can comprehend the laws, he will not get stuck at a level due to insufficient comprehension.

The second path is the path taken by the gods in the Douluo World. They first create the throne by promoting their own power to gather faith and then strengthen the throne.

The divine position is equivalent to a piece of equipment that can provide additional levels. Mortals who possess the divine position can also enhance their life essence.

The gods first cross the level cap through the godhood and possess the power of gods, and then in turn use the power of gods to improve their own essence and push themselves back to gods.

In this way, the upper limit of the god's strength is equivalent to the upper limit of the false level provided by the strength of the god's position. If you want to go further, you can only continue to strengthen the god's position to increase the upper limit of the level.

The former is freer and can do whatever he wants, while the latter is more powerful but is bound by his own position and beliefs.

The Divine Throne is a powerful piece of equipment that not only increases the level cap, but also provides a large number of attributes. Gods with Divine Thrones are one stage stronger than gods without Divine Thrones.

A third-level god with a godhood can rival a second-level god without a godhood, a second-level god can rival a first-level god, and a first-level god can rival a half-step god king.

Even for the God King, the God's Throne is still a powerful equipment. If you lose the God's Throne, your combat effectiveness will drop by more than one level.

And the most important feature of the God Position is that before it is completely successfully cast, the God Position can only increase the upper limit of the level, and cannot directly convert the power of faith into experience points to improve strength. If you want to quickly improve your strength through the God Position, you must complete the God Position.

Before this process is completed, no matter whether it is a third-level god's throne or a first-level god's throne, the difference does not seem to be that big.

But in other words, after the casting is completed, the strength of the gods will be stuck at the level of the godhood, and it will be difficult to break away from the godhood and make progress.

Although the completed deity can indeed be gradually strengthened through faith, its efficiency is much lower than before casting, and it is difficult to continue to expand its power.

Often, the chosen ones of heaven become gods within a few hundred years, but their strength does not change at all for tens of thousands of years after becoming gods. They may even regress in strength due to lack of faith.

The throne of God is like a high staircase. Before stepping on it, you look up with great effort, but after stepping on it, you often don’t even look at it. All you think about is how to get off this sticky staircase, even if it means taking off your shoes (throwing away the artifact), most people don’t want to be stuck to the staircase.
