Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 488 Five years have passed, and the four-word battle armor technique has been perfected, with gods gradually ascending to godhood.

Everything was on track, and time flew by in the Douluo Continent, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the direction of the Heavenly Court's residence, a vast six-colored lightning tribulation stretched across the universe, with dark tribulation clouds covering the sky and the earth, clearly visible to a large portion of the residents of Mingdu.

"Hey, look! The divine tribulation has descended again. Our Sun Moon Empire is about to give birth to another level 100 god-level powerhouse."

"That's great! We just witnessed the tribulation of Elder Xu of the Xuanming Sect two years ago. We never expected that two years later, another top expert would be about to break through to the Limit Douluo level. This is even more exciting than Elder Xu's tribulation. Let's go take a look."

"Let's go together..."

No matter the time, watching a spectacle is always an instinct for many people, and the people of Douluo Continent are no exception. Many Soul Masters and Soul Instructor experts would gather in groups of three or five to watch the scene when they saw the lightning tribulation.

Jing Hongchen came out of the newly built Mingde Hall, took a close look, and then took off to continue her journey. "I never expected that the person undergoing tribulation this time would be her."

"Yes, she was the first Soul Beast Overlord to become a god, even faster than Di Tian."

Xiao Hongchen followed beside Jing Hongchen, his face much more mature. He crossed his arms, looking unfathomable. "Hehe, I'm looking forward to becoming a god and competing with her."

Five years ago, he was a Super Douluo. In the past five years, he has advanced almost one level per year, radiating the genuine aura of a level 99 Limit Douluo.

This is a level of terror that the Sun Moon Empire could never have dreamed of before.

As for the dignified Young Master Xiao, he naturally has lofty ambitions. He has the idea of ​​taking things to the next level and has already begun to engage with the Three-Legged Golden Toad Divine Test, which is nearly halfway complete.

Jing Hongchen stroked his beard and chuckled, glancing at Xiao Hongchen. "Forget about it. Meng can easily deal with you now. Your grandfather still needs her to go to the God Realm to enjoy a peaceful life."

"...Grandpa, you can't say that."

Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth, then thought of a perfect excuse to be stubborn: "It's clear that no one in the God Realm is worthy of me as a first-level god. Old Xu said that godhood doesn't determine everything."

"As long as I am willing to cultivate diligently, it is not impossible for me to rival a first-level god. Everything depends on my own efforts."

"Tch, you were watching when Meng was undergoing her tribulation in outer space a year ago. Your title as the number one genius of the Hongchen family is a thing of the past."

Jing Hongchen pursed her lips, her mouth curving upwards in a smile, showing no sign of the other travelers who were in a hurry, as she had already seen it once.

Today, he has come to a profound understanding that momentary success is nothing compared to the final results of one's life.

Despite the benefits of the Douluo Star Plane's upgrade, he still only has level 96 soul power, making him just a minor level 10 soul master. But his grandson and granddaughter are truly remarkable.

Now, he will manage Mingde Hall and later pass the position to Xiao Hongchen, who will enjoy a peaceful and comfortable retirement in the Sun and Moon Empire. After that, he will ascend to the God Realm to experience eternal life, where life will be boundless and wonderful.

Unlike Master Kong, who cultivated relentlessly for his own pride, almost transforming from a Soul Master to a pure Soul Master in five years, sparing no effort to improve his Soul Power, because he truly saw that breaking through the Limit Douluo level would lead to becoming an eleventh-level Soul Master, and he wanted to pave the way for future generations.

He Jing Hongchen admitted that his talent for soul tools was far inferior to that of Master Kong, so he wouldn't compete with him for the title of pioneer.

All of this began in outer space. Kong Deming went "mad" after observing the giant star array. He saw a brand new door with a fatal attraction.

"Old man, I've discovered that you're the most useless one in our Hongchen family right now." Xiao Hongchen smirked as he saw Jing Hongchen lost in thought, delivering a sharp blow to Jing Hongchen's lazy attitude.

"What are you saying, you little brat? Do you want a beating?" Jing Hongchen's eyes instantly blazed with anger.

"Hehe, old man, you're not what you used to be, you can't catch up with me anymore..." Xiao Hongchen turned into golden light and disappeared in a flash.

"You little brat, stop right there! You unfilial grandson, you unfilial grandson..."

Jing Hongchen was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard, chasing after the stars and the moon, determined to bring Xiao Hongchen to justice.

The two chased each other and soon flew ahead of all the experts in the Sun Moon Empire. Even Ye Yulin stopped to watch the show.

The infighting within the mortal family is just as entertaining as the tribulations of a top expert.

"Your Majesty, is that the same person who was suppressed by the True God for more than ten years, the second youngest level ten Soul Master in the history of our Sun Moon Empire, the Three-Legged Golden Toad Laughing at the Mortal World?"

A newly promoted level eight Soul Master spoke up. He had a long white beard and thought he would never become a level eight Soul Master in his life. But unexpectedly, the plane upgraded, giving him a chance to break through.

"Yes, that kid has been unruly since he was a child. Among that generation, apart from the True God and the Sword God Douluo, no one could make him behave."

Ye Yulin chuckled, guiding the younger generation with the air of a grandmaster, his face full of remembrance and smiles.

At a glance, more than two-thirds of the seventh, eighth, and ninth-level Soul Masters here have completely white hair; they are all newly promoted experts thanks to the benefits of the times.

The dimensional upgrade has sparked a wave of powerful version updates, and the results are already visible after five years.

In Xu Tianxi's words, this is called a great change in the world. The cultivation environment has improved, and the suppression of cultivators has been relaxed. Now is the best era, and it will only get better and better in the future.

Those who were previously stuck at a bottleneck and unable to improve now had the opportunity to break through. Veteran level nine soul masters like Ye Yulin, Jing Hongchen, Liao Mengkai, and Luanfeng all became Super Douluo and found their own path to becoming level ten soul masters. The development of the Sun Moon Empire ushered in a period of explosive growth.

Undoubtedly, these people will leave a significant mark on history, and future generations will forever remember them as the earliest batch of level 10 Soul Masters.

……

When the numerous Soul Master experts arrived at the Heavenly Court's residence, a sprightly old man was already waiting at the entrance, smiling as he welcomed them in.

Upon seeing this person, even Grandmasters like Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin, who were Soul Masters, changed their expressions and stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Old Man Yue, what brings you here? You should just stay home and rest."

The matchmaker, who looked to be in his forties or fifties and dressed in an old military uniform, returned the greeting with a cupped hand and waved his hand with a smile, saying, "No, no, this old man can't stay idle. He has to come and do something."

Behind them, a newly promoted level nine soul master was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Although this old gentleman is also a level nine soul master with profound cultivation, there shouldn't be any reason for him to be so respected by two level ten soul master seniors, right?"

Many people nodded in agreement. The difference between a level 10 Soul Master and a level 9 Soul Master was enormous, like a chasm.

Xiao Hongchen glanced back at him and said calmly, "This is the guide on the path of a true god soul master. He came to the Heavenly Court with the Xuanming Sect back then. At that time, he was only a level seven and a half soul master, and his potential had been exhausted." "Hiss~" The newly promoted level nine soul master and many other newly promoted experts gasped. A true god guide, no wonder.

Xiao Hongchen continued, "Originally, with his talent, it would have been impossible for him to advance to the ninth level of Soul Master. However, the True God cherished the past and personally guided the tide of life and the power of heaven and earth to cleanse his bones and muscles."

"Ah..." Everyone was stunned; this was an incredible opportunity.

"Finally, the True God used divine blood to cleanse his bones and muscles, allowing him to undergo a complete transformation. With the addition of all six soul bones, this resulted in his becoming a level nine soul master and achieving a cultivation level of ninety-four..."

Xiao Hongchen calmly recounted the incredible opportunity that the Old Man of the Moon had, who had no hope of ever becoming a ninth-level Soul Master, but was forcibly elevated to that level.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of level eight and nine soul masters flew out like the wind, surrounding Yue Lao, Jing Hongchen, and Ye Yulin in circles, calling out to each of them with increasing enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen scoffed and shook his head as he walked inside.

A bunch of guys who're obsessed with progress, the Sun Moon Empire is in a sense really thriving.

……

After the brief incident, everyone was able to observe the grand scene of the tribulation up close as they had hoped. The Snow Empress, dressed in a long, flowing white gown that trailed across the sky, held an imperial sword in her hand and unleashed a dazzling display of starlight, directly confronting the six-colored heavenly tribulation.

As the lightning struck her, the Snow Empress swayed, not entirely at ease, yet her exquisite beauty still held an unwavering resolve. Her icy blue eyes held excitement, longing, and boundless joy, but not fear.

Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, and the others were mesmerized. For the first time, they felt that this damned heavenly tribulation was not so terrible after all. The path to godhood was the dream of so many soul beasts!
Unlike others, Xiao Hongchen didn't go to see Xue Di. Instead, he slipped away at an unparalleled speed towards the Xuanming Sect. When he was still about ten meters away from Xu Xiaoyun, he greeted him from afar.

"Grandpa, you're in great health! Haha, you look several years younger in just six months..."

Xu Xiaoyun was also very fond of Xiao Hongchen, this well-behaved child. She went up to him and pulled him over to watch the excitement, discussing the path to becoming a god. Inadvertently, this made many soul masters' eyes burn with anger.

He truly deserves to be called the second genius of the Sun Moon Empire!

Xiao Hongchen ignored them, chatted with Xu Xiaoyun for a while, then greeted Xiao Changfeng, Xu Fu and others. Soon he found his peers and joked about their cultivation levels.

"Brother Ma Rulong, you've only just broken through to level 95. Keep it up and catch up with my grandpa. I believe in you."

"Old Ji, you're level 97! That's fast. But don't mess around. I don't want to fight you today. Let's watch the show."

"Yo yo yo, San Shi, you're cultivating fast! You've reached the Limit Douluo level too, but it's a pity your speed is a bit slower than mine. You need to speed things up!"

"Hey, Sister Gu Yi, you look younger again lately. Little Wutian is about to awaken his martial soul. Don't you miss your uncle?"

Xiao Hongchen speaks to people in a natural way. When he saw Ye Guyi, dressed as a young woman, drifting by with a little boy of about five years old, he quickly fixed his gaze on the boy and called him "Little Wutian," which was obviously very affectionate.

"Yes, Uncle Xiao, tell me, how long do I need to cultivate before I can catch up with you?"

Xiao Wutian has thick black hair and bright eyes that gleam with golden light. He looks like a delicately carved jade. Although he is still a child, he is already precocious and eager to pursue his dreams in the mortal world.

My dad said that Uncle Xiao always liked to be arrogant, and you could always give him a hard time, whether there was a reason or not.

For the first time, Xiao Hongchen's smile froze. He coughed twice and said, "Well, when you reach Uncle Xiao's age, you might be able to catch up with me."

Honestly, if it were a child acting so arrogantly in front of him, he would definitely scoff at it.

But he really didn't dare to be arrogant towards this brat in front of him.

His name alone reveals the high expectations his father had for him; he was destined to become a god.

However, Xiao Wutian still seemed somewhat unsatisfied. "Huh? Does it have to take that long?"

Xiao Hongchen: "..."

I can't beat your parents, so I'll endure it, I'll endure it. I won't stoop to the level of a child...

Ye Guyi watched with a smile, amused that Xiao Hongchen had rarely suffered such a setback.

Just then, a light, airy voice came from behind, “Perhaps it won’t take that long. With more effort, your father at my age can catch up with him.”

Xiao Wutian was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Dad!"

"Hmm, Little Wutian is such a good boy."

The young man chuckled, patted Xiao Wutian's head, hugged the graceful and voluptuous Ye Guyi, and finally looked at Xiao Hongchen with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Your sister has been traveling across the mainland for a year and comprehending the Way of the Seven Emotions. Old Xiao, why haven't you been able to trigger the Divine Tribulation yet? You need to speed things up."

Xiao Hongchen: "..."

Isn't this what I said to Xu Sanshi?

"...You actually came out of seclusion? The Heavenly Forging you mentioned is already complete?" Xiao Hongchen took the initiative to change the subject, avoiding talking about such a troubling thing as cultivation.

"It's finished." Xu Tianxi nodded gently and smiled.
"It's rare to have some time to study this. From now on, the battle armor of our Douluo Continent will enter the four-word battle armor stage."

"In fact, given enough time, a true god-level expert can nurture a four-word battle armor into a five-word battle armor, or even a six-word battle armor, which is no less powerful than divine armor."

"And what about your cultivation level?" Ye Guyi stared intently, only to find that she couldn't see through Xu Tianxi again.

Sure enough, suppressing him was only temporary; being suppressed by him in return was the long-term outcome.

Xu Tianxi turned his head and chuckled, "Keep this a secret for now, let's discuss other things first."
