Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 434 The Third Soul Core: Born from Death, the Undead Army Faces the Abyss Army
The army from the Abyss Plane broke through the boundary and arrived. The first to sense it was Di Tian, ​​who was guarding Lingdou City.

Without a word, he tore through space and emerged, his Black Dragon Sword rising, its light surging across the sky and erupting in Lingdou City. In an instant, countless abyssal creatures were reduced to ashes.

In an instant, a giant black dragon shadow, a thousand meters long, soared into the sky, and the earth sank into a dark swamp.

"We noticed something was off about this space a while ago, but we didn't expect to actually find something. Where did you come from?"

Di Tian stared at the blood-red array in front of the abyss and deliberately spoke in this manner, pretending not to know the other party's origin.

"There's no need to know about a dead man!"

A powerful and overwhelming thought emanated from the depths of the abyss, and immediately a massive number of bizarre creatures flew out. A group of terrifying bee-like creatures buzzed and flew out in droves, their tail hooks extremely sharp, cutting visible ripples in the air.

"What the hell are these abyssal creatures? They're much uglier than the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Just like the Mountain Dragon King said, they have a devouring instinct similar to the Human-Faced Demon Spider and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

Di Tian frowned, flicked his wrist, and the Black Dragon Sword stood in front of him, instantly unleashing a monstrous sword light. The sword light, like a galaxy, swept down and annihilated the swarm of killing bees.

Then, Di Tian unleashed his power, displaying the unparalleled strength of the former number one expert on the continent. His Black Dragon Sword swept through the air to kill enemies, and his movements were faster than anyone could imagine. In just a few moves, he wiped out all the abyssal creatures that had invaded Lingdou City.

The area within ten miles of Lingdou City was transformed into a death zone, with swarms of low-intelligence abyssal creatures turning to ashes, and the momentum of the endless stream of abyssal creatures behind them was also somewhat curbed.

However, Di Tian, ​​who had killed many enemies, was not happy. Instead, a deep solemnity appeared between his brows, and a strong sense of fear surfaced in his eyes.

He clearly sensed that after these abyssal creatures perished, they seemed to transform into a special energy body and fly back into that abyssal space, instead of simply dissipating in the Douluo plane.

This means that the opponent's energy is conserved; given enough time, they can easily create another large army like this, making his efforts almost futile.

"Just as the Mountain Dragon King said, killing so many of these lowly soldiers can only halt the impact for a short time. To achieve victory, we must kill several lord-level beings; only in this way can we influence the situation..."

Thinking this, Di Tian's gaze shifted, locking onto several beings whose auras rivaled those of Title Douluo and Super Douluo. The Black Dragon Sword suddenly unleashed several unprecedented beams of light, and he roared:
"Since you wish to die, I will grant your wish! My dragon clan possesses supreme divine artifacts; if I obtain them, I will slaughter you like dogs!"

A cold, icy will emanated from the abyss, the thought of some unknown lord: "What good are artifacts? Unless they are the most powerful beings, they are merely scratching the surface and have no real effect!"

"You'll see!"

Di Tian shouted and charged into the formation, killing several Abyss experts who were targeted by his aura in a rapid succession. Sure enough, after these experts were killed, a loud explosion erupted from the depths of the Abyss.

Several low-ranking Abyss Lords were killed, and the level they belonged to temporarily collapsed.

Seeing Di Tian blocking the way, a furious roar came from the blood-red array, and dazzling purple-gold light gathered up, transforming into a vortex that devoured everything, unleashing its power on Di Tian.

Di Tian engaged in a battle with it from a distance, breaking through the vortex. His expression quickly changed: "You are a Sea Soul Beast? The king of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan?"

"Not bad!" The Demon Queen's voice was cold and deep, her face like frost. She had agreed to cooperate with Ah Yin in order to become a god through killing, but she did not expect to get off to a bad start and not find a single living being.

Lingdou City retreated quickly because the secret was discovered in advance. It was obviously Di Tian's doing. He truly deserves to be called the number one ferocious beast on the continent!

"I never thought there would be such a worthless thing among the soul beasts. If you have the guts, come out and fight me. I will clean up the mess for the ocean soul beasts!" Di Tian shouted, showing some apprehension towards the Blood River God-Slaying Array where the Demon Emperor resided. The aura emanating from this array was too terrifying.

"So what if I'm out? What can you do about it? Abyss army, attack!"

The Demon Emperor emerged from the Blood River God-Slaying Array, unleashing a ferocious beast-level aura that was truly astonishing, causing even Emperor Tian to frown. This was a powerful figure whose cultivation was close to his own, almost on par with the Evil Emperor.

He had heard before that there was a deep-sea demon whale king that was nearly a million years old and was killed by the sea god Tang San. How come there is another one?
"Fine, I am the Beast God. Today, I will test your abilities and cleanse the ocean of its troubles!"

Emperor Tian made up his mind, and with his sword as one, he charged out, fighting against the Demon Emperor and more and more abyssal creatures. They quickly exchanged dozens or even hundreds of blows.

In Lingdou City, Gu Yuena awoke. She raised her purple eyes to observe the situation from afar, knowing that the other side was still in a probing phase. Instead of going into battle with her Silver Dragon Spear, she took out her Silver Dragon Scale and quickly called for reinforcements.

"Mountain Dragon King, Mountain Dragon King, those abyssal creatures that were about to invade us have arrived! You must prepare to deal with them..."

Xu Tianxi answered very quickly:

"I am currently in a critical period of seclusion and cannot come. The expeditionary army and the experts from the Sun and Moon region will quickly come to reinforce us, and the undead army is also on its way. Do not rush and scare them away."

"A crucial time for seclusion? What level have you reached in your cultivation that you need to go into seclusion? And what is this army of undead?"

Gu Yuena was a little anxious. She extended her slender fingers and tapped the ripples in the void, quickly traversing space to reach Xu Tianxi's side.

"Huh? This guy isn't in the Douluo Continent anymore, he's gone to a demi-plane?"

……

In the undead demiplane, Xu Tianxi lowered the telepathic dragon scale and smiled at Electrox, who was not far away:
"Teacher, those guys are here. After I start that step, send me to another demiplane and then take the undead demiplane to reinforce them."

His gaze swept across the distance, where countless undead creatures, each possessing top-tier evil martial spirits, were gradually awakening. Xu Tianxi was quite satisfied and said:

“The creatures of the abyss cannot die, but our army of the undead is also nearly endless. When the two clash, it will be a good opportunity to see who is stronger. With these guys around, we don’t need to worry about casualties.”

Electrolux shifted his gaze, stroked his beard, nodded, and sighed:

"I thought these guys would never have to appear in the world again, but I didn't expect to meet a suitable opponent at this time; I used to worry that these guys would get out of control and become a nightmare for the whole continent."

The undead demiplane has existed for quite some time, and even Elex himself is unaware of how vast these undead creatures have become, ranging from the lowest-level skeletons to higher-level creatures like abominations and bone dragons, and even some powerful knights from their previous lives. Once unleashed, they form an endless torrent.

At this moment, Electrolux raised his eyes and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He said, "Xiao Tianxi, your friend has come to see you. It seems he is very worried about your situation."

"Looking for me?" Xu Tianxi looked down at the ripples in the space, where a spatial gate opened and Gu Yuena's beautiful and ethereal figure walked out, her face filled with anxiety.

“You don’t need to worry about me here. Since you’re here, let’s be witnesses together. After you’ve seen it, lead this army of undead to support Di Tian.” Xu Tianxi smiled at Gu Yuena, then sat cross-legged. He used his soul power to condense countless streams of energy in the void and used a special technique to activate the acupoints around his body.

Instantly, his immense and powerful qi and blood gathered inward, converging towards his chest, forming a unique vortex, nine parts qi and blood and one part soul power.

At the same time, a surge of profound divine consciousness erupted, temporarily suppressing the immediately berserk Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores.

In an instant, the scenes within Xu Tianxi's three dantian became clearly visible.

The upper dantian spiritual core has become a black hole, swallowing and spitting out golden divine consciousness; the lower dantian soul power core is like a newly born star, containing the four basic elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, and the three superior elements of space, light, and darkness, with thunderous turmoil and the aura of life and destruction coexisting.

At this moment, a continuous stream of rich blood and qi surged from his chest, converging into a vortex that took shape almost instantly; the divine sense within the black hole vortex erupted, suppressing the restless second soul core.

This is extremely dangerous because Xu Tianxi's Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores in his upper and lower dantian have long achieved a strange balance. At this moment, the formation of a new vortex, regardless of which direction it rotates, will break this balance.

Gu Yuena had learned about cultivation basics with Di Tian, ​​but she was extremely puzzled by this and asked Ilex:

"What exactly is he planning to do? If he wants to cultivate the third soul core, he should move the second soul core to his chest first."

Electrolux smiled mysteriously and asked in return, "Is this the only way to cultivate a soul core? Theoretically, there are other possibilities."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yuena frowned, clearly puzzled.

“Isn’t it also a form of balance to reverse the direction of one of the soul cores and condense a third soul core in the chest?” Electrox said.

"Forcibly reversing the direction of the soul core? Isn't that courting death?!"

Gu Yuena was shocked. Di Tian claimed that he had done such a thing in his spare time, and then he barely survived, only managing to save his life thanks to Bi Ji's healing ability and the life force of the Lake of Life.

At that time, Di Tian only slightly disrupted the balance, and was severely injured by the backlash of his own soul core energy. It would not be surprising if he had been forced to reverse the flow and self-destructed on the spot.

Electrolux nodded in strong agreement, pointing at Xu Tianxi and saying, "He just wants to die, he wants to live by facing death."

Gu Yuena frowned more and more, unable to understand Xu Tianxi and Electrolux's plans: "Why?"

He believed that only by facing death could one unleash the instinct for survival and the greatest potential, thereby condensing the most powerful soul core and forging an unprecedented foundation.

Electrolux's voice was solemn as he stared at Xu Tianxi and sighed softly:
"He hasn't felt the threat of death for too long. No one in this world can kill him except you, so he's seeking his own death, to achieve ultimate sublimation in the face of life and death, to live towards death."

"So dangerous? Why bother?" Gu Yuena couldn't understand.

“He said that the only way to become the strongest in history is this, and after some calculations, I can confirm it is true. You should know his personality, and he has already begun,” Electrox said.

"The trick he used at the beginning was a method he used to seal other people's blood and soul power, but now he's using it on himself, in order to drive himself to the brink of death."

Gu Yuena looked extremely worried: "If he fails, won't he be completely destroyed? Has he considered such a consequence?"

“I’ve thought about it, so I’m here.” Electrox smiled calmly and said:

“I am the God of Death. If he really dies, I can transform him into an undead creature and then immediately inherit the legacy of the Water God of the Divine Realm. At the very least, he can become a first-level True God. It’s just that it will take him a long time to advance further in the future.”

Gu Yuena: "..."

Why do I feel like you, old man, are more capable than I am?

"boom!"

The space of the undead demiplane trembled, and Xu Tianxi formed a vortex of qi and blood in his chest, opposite to the direction of the spiritual core in his upper dantian and completely opposite to the direction of the soul power core in his lower dantian, which seemed to reflect the changes of stars and condense many elements.

In an instant, even Xu Tianxi's powerful divine sense could not suppress the restless soul power and soul core. The yin-yang complementary state was destroyed, and it launched a frantic counterattack!

"Turn the tide for me!"

Xu Tianxi's eyes hardened as he made up his mind. Instead of relaxing his suppression, he mobilized a large amount of divine consciousness in his spiritual core, combining his essence, energy, and spirit to reverse the power of his soul core!

In the sea of ​​spirit, the golden light of life shone brightly, and the soul bones of the six major soul bone parts burst forth with light. Among them, the energy of the Mountain Dragon King's torso bone was the most vigorous, and the sixth sealing halo was teetering on the verge of collapse.

Soon, a scene that defied common sense in the world of Soul Masters occurred: Xu Tianxi's second Soul Core was forcibly reversed, and the enormous impact caused Xu Tianxi to cough up several mouthfuls of blood instantly.

However, he continued to suppress this power, intentionally extinguishing his own life force, sealing his soul power, weakening his spiritual power, and causing his blood and qi to continuously condense and surge towards his chest...

Time passed swiftly, and his body cracked extensively, flowing out blood rich in essence. Massive amounts of energy burst forth and compressed, almost transforming into a blood cocoon.

Electrolux sent the blood cocoon to another demiplane, then urged Gu Yuena to set off and lead the undead army to reinforce the battlefield.

“Leave the rest to me. You can’t help here, so you should hurry up and go somewhere you can help,” Electrox urged.

"Oh." Gu Yuena reluctantly agreed, thought for a moment, placed her silver dragon spear on the spot, said "Be careful," and flew away from the undead demiplane.

Soon, on the battlefield outside Lingdou City, Di Tian's reinforcements appeared. A massive number of undead creatures rushed out of the undead gate, heading straight for the abyss creatures. The overwhelming scene surprised even some lords beyond the abyss.

"Wasn't this place supposed to be full of living people? Could it be that it has already been occupied by some undead king?" Deep in the abyss, the Abyss Saint King blinked, wondering if he had seen wrong.

What good would it do for abyssal creatures to devour lifeless undead creatures?
The Golden Dragon King was also somewhat confused. What was going on? Was this still the Douluo Continent?
Could it be that my younger sister has started cultivating necromancy here? Otherwise, where did all these undead creatures come from? Only a god-level expert could cultivate them.
