Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 135 Alchemy Realm, Living Spirit (5K)

kitten?

Who are you talking about?

Is it the Dark Demon God Tiger?

Mo Yunfei's eyelids twitched violently, his expression bitter. It's true that comparisons are odious; in their eyes, the 50,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was a death god who would take lives.

But in Ye Xuan's eyes, it was just a naughty little cat.

Despite their bitterness, they could tell from Mo Yuan's words that this level 98 evil soul master was after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, not them.

Furthermore, since there were no reports of Ye Xuan slaughtering ordinary people on the mainland, and all that was known were various scandalous rumors and his impressive battle record, they felt that as long as nothing went wrong later, Ye Xuan would probably not kill them.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing itself called a kitten, the inherently ferocious Dark Demon God Tiger was instantly enraged. It roared at Mo Yuan and then exerted its strength, forcibly escaping the range of the oppressive aura at the cost of shattered bones.

"Want to resist?" Mo Yuan said coldly, staring at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger baring its teeth in the distance.

However, the moment he finished speaking, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, who had been so aggressive and menacing, turned and ran away without looking back.

They were so fast that they had already covered nearly a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Vina and the others couldn't help but wonder why Ye Xuan wasn't chasing after him. Did he come here not for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?
If that's the case...

Oops! Oh no! Could Ye Xuan be coming for us?!

Thinking of this, Mo Yunfei felt a chill run down his spine. If that were the case, it would be better to fight the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. At least His Highness and Miss would still have a chance to live.

If it were Ye Xuan, unless everyone from the Body Sect arrived here instantly, even the Body Sect Master, Du Bu Si, probably wouldn't be confident of saving Vina and Mu Xue.

Vina and Muxue also thought of this, but they dared not ask and could only stay where they were and wait for their fate.

Soon after, a huge black shadow crashed down beside them from a distance. Vina and the others turned around and gasped in shock.

The enormous creature was none other than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that had just escaped, but this legendary soul beast was in a slightly unfavorable situation.

Its jet-black fur was stained red with blood, its body was covered with wounds from sharp weapons, and all four claws on its limbs had been chopped off. The arrogance and ferocity in its eyes had long since vanished without a trace, leaving only deep pain.

On the body of the Dark Demon God Tiger, the Death Knight, who was ordered to intercept it, sat there casually, wiping the blood off his longsword with the crimson cloak on his back.

Seeing the Dark Demon God Tiger in such a miserable state, Vina and Muxue didn't react much, but the auspicious beast held in Mo Yuan's arms laughed happily.

The reason why the Crimson King chased after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger a few days ago was because this evil soul beast attacked her while she was distracted.

Now that their great revenge has been achieved, the auspicious beast no longer finds Mo Yuan so terrifying; in fact, it even feels a strange sense of familiarity.

Mo Yuan didn't linger after acquiring the Dark Demon God Tiger. He had the End Demon Dragon take it with him and then turned to head deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to return to the Lake of Life.

Seeing Ye Xuan turn and leave without paying any attention to them, Vina and Muxue breathed a deep sigh of relief, secretly marveling that they had escaped death once again.

"Your Highness, Miss, now that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has been eliminated, let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest quickly. After all, that End Douluo is ultimately an evil soul master, and staying any longer might lead to unforeseen events." Mo Yunfei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slowly got up from the ground after the End Demon Dragon's figure had completely disappeared from sight.

"it is good."

Vina nodded, but just as they were about to turn and leave, a dense thicket of bushes not far away suddenly began to shake violently.

"Who?! Show yourself!" Mo Yunfei stopped in his tracks and immediately turned around, protecting Vina and Muxue behind him with his subordinates. The seven standard spirit rings rose from his feet, and the Cloud Martial Spirit appeared.

The next second, a voice that Vina was extremely familiar with rang out, sounding full of exhaustion and lingering fear.

"Relax, it's me, an old man."

"That voice!" Vina's expression brightened upon hearing the voice, and she immediately stepped out from behind Mo Yunfei. "Master Mo, don't be nervous, it's Grandpa Shark from the Body Sect."

And just as she said, the ones who emerged from the bushes were none other than Shark Arm Douluo and Huo Yuhao, who had failed to obtain the auspicious beast a few days ago and were instead chased by the Death Knight.

The two were covered in dust and their clothes were tattered, making them look extremely disheveled. Huo Yuhao was in slightly better condition, but his face had turned extremely gloomy because he had once again been taken advantage of by Mo Yuan. He was otherwise unharmed.

In comparison, Shark Arm Douluo was in a much worse state. His body was covered with countless wounds, large and small, making him look like a piece of meat that had been cut into pieces. If it weren't for his great strength, the large amount of blood he lost would have killed him.

Seeing their miserable state, Vina's expression froze, and she quickly asked, "Grandpa Shark, what happened to you? Did you encounter some powerful soul beast?"

“Sigh,” Shark Arm Douluo sighed and shook his head, “This is a long story, but to sum it up, it’s basically the same as what you just experienced. You all encountered Ye Xuan.”

"The only difference is that you were lucky. Ye Xuan didn't attack you. If it weren't for my strength that allowed me to block Ye Xuan's first wave of attacks, Yu Hao and I would probably be buried in this Star Dou Great Forest forever."

"Yuhao?"

It was only then that Vina noticed Huo Yuhao, who was standing silently to the side with his head down and a sinister aura. As the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire and a disciple of the Body Sect, she was naturally well aware of Huo Yuhao's defection from Shrek Academy, and this was the first time the two had met.

Even though she didn't particularly like Huo Yuhao's personality, she still smiled and nodded at him out of politeness.

"Hello, my name is Vina. It's nice to meet you. We are both disciples of the Body Sect. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me for help."

"Thank you, senior sister. My name is Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao replied briefly before lowering his head again. His gloomy eyes glanced sideways at the Shark Arm Douluo who was talking with Vina and the others beside him, and a mocking sneer appeared on his face.

And you even said you only survived because you were strong? Have you no shame?
Aside from the very first meeting where they were far apart, wasn't Ye Xuan always chasing after death knights that Ye Xuan randomly dispatched?
According to you, if I were to unleash a soul skill on Ye Xuan from 800 miles away, would that count as me fighting Ye Xuan?

Besides, did you escape by your own strength? It was clearly me who secretly used four golden patterns as money to save my life.

Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao became angrier and angrier. His hatred for Ye Xuan reached an unprecedented level, second only to Xuanzi, Moyuan, and Yan Shaozhe.

Unfortunately, the anger of the weak is always so insignificant. Moreover, even if Mo Yuan knew, he would only ask him, "Do you still remember your original goal?"

Having traveled for so long, if he has completely forgotten the way he came, even without anyone interfering with him, he is destined not to go far.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about everything when we get back. My soul power has just recovered most of its strength, so I'll take you away now."

As he spoke, Shark Arm Douluo swung his extremely thick right arm, which was covered with shark tattoos. A surge of powerful soul energy enveloped Vina and the others, as well as Huo Yuhao, and then he flew straight into the sky, heading towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the other side, below the Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Mo Yuan and the Silver Dragon King had already brought the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger back to the bronze pillar in front of the palace. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was on the verge of death, was slammed to the ground and then lay motionless, ready to face its impending demise.

Having suppressed his curiosity all the way, the Silver Dragon King couldn't wait to ask Mo Yuan as soon as he landed, "Mo Yuan, why are you going to kill this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? It looks like it's only about 50,000 years old. Isn't it a bit too weak as your soul ring?"

“Yes, yes, such a despicable creature is not worthy of Your Majesty at all,” the auspicious beast immediately echoed, with Mo Yuan even detecting a hint of flattery in its words.

Is this still the same fearless mythical beast? Or is it more like a husky?

Mo Yuan muttered to himself, but his hands never stopped moving. You have to admit, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt amazing to handle, even better than the little panda from his previous life.

"Trash? That's true, but it's barely passable as the first spirit ring of my second spirit. Besides, what I really want isn't its spirit ring or spirit bone," Mo Yuan said.

The Silver Dragon King asked疑惑地, "Then what do you want?"

Mo Yuan looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in front of him and a faint smile appeared on his face. He uttered two words softly.

"soul."

"Soul?" Upon hearing these two words, the Silver Dragon King suddenly felt a chill run down his spine; the feeling was strangely clear, though he didn't know where it came from.

“That’s right.” Mo Yuan nodded and continued, “As you know, the highest level of alchemy is held by the Seven Kingdoms, one of which is called Conceptual Armament, which is similar to the soul tools in the human world.” “It can endow a weapon with a conceptual level of ability. For example, if you endow it with the concept of ‘certain death,’ then every attack you launch after using that weapon will kill the enemy.”

The Silver Dragon King's eyes widened suddenly, his moist and alluring red lips parted slightly, and his face was full of disbelief.

Based on the power of alchemy she had witnessed, she believed that Mo Yuan's words were definitely true. Extending from this, it meant that as long as his alchemy skills were even higher, Mo Yuan could even mass-produce divine artifacts!
If it were given concepts like 'guaranteed kill' or 'guaranteed hit' that are the most unsolvable, then its power would probably be incomparable even to super artifacts!

"Sometimes I wonder, what kind of powerful plane must it be to give birth to such a heaven-defying ability system as alchemy?" the Silver Dragon King sighed.

Mo Yuan smiled but didn't say much. After all, who would have thought that the humans who had lived with Nidhogg for a lifetime only had technology and no supernatural powers? The only thing they had was something they obtained from the dragons.

Mo Yuan then continued, "Of course, I certainly can't give weapons any concept yet, so there's also an alchemical process that can enhance a weapon's power, such as the Alchemy Matrix and the Living Spirit."

"The field of alchemy is self-explanatory, as the name suggests. The living spirit, on the other hand, involves extracting the soul of a living being and melting it into an alchemical weapon to restrict its use and enhance its power."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King finally understood where her chilling feeling had come from. She could imagine the immense pain of imprisoning a living soul within a martial spirit for eternity and being driven by an enemy.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as cruel.

Fortunately, Mo Yuan is now on their side, so there's no need to worry about becoming a living spirit.

"Alright, enough of this small talk. Since Elder Yi hasn't returned yet, I'll test my alchemy skills myself to see just how far I can go."

As he spoke, Mo Yuan handed the auspicious beast in his arms to the Silver Dragon King, and then took out various prepared alchemical materials from his soul tool.

This includes, but is not limited to, the external soul bone of a 100,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, gold, lead, silver ore, bronze, and mercury, which is nothing short of poison to dragons.

Under the curious gaze of the Silver Dragon King and the auspicious beast, Mo Yuan quickly used mercury as ink to outline intricate patterns around the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Dark Demon God Tiger could only watch helplessly as the impending pain loomed.

Soon, an alchemical matrix using mercury as ink was completed. Mo Yuan took a few steps back to the edge of the array. After taking a few deep breaths to adjust his state, he ignited the Golden Eye and began chanting a string of dragon patterns.

The Silver Dragon King and the auspicious beast immediately pricked up their ears to listen, but after listening for a long time, they still couldn't glean any information from it.

"Heaven and earth are the furnace, creation is the craftsman. Yin and Yang are the carbon, and all things are the copper."

Words of Power: Heaven and Earth as a Furnace!
The domain expanded to cover the entire plaza, and countless complex alchemical matrices emerged deep within the golden pupils.

Mo Yuan began to wave his hands and throw all the alchemical materials into the domain. When the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone was inserted into the head of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a jet-black soul ring rose up, along with a semi-transparent soul surrounded by black mist.

"Roar!"

In its soul form, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a terrifying roar at Mo Yuan. It never despaired from beginning to end. Even as just a soul, as long as it had power, it would use its roar to tell everyone that it, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, would never surrender!

Seeing this, Mo Yuan sneered, clenched his right hand tightly around its soul, and then casually threw it into the raging fire above. As for the soul ring, he pulled it out and sealed it with alchemy to prevent it from dissipating over time.

The agonizing roars of the Dark Demon Tiger finally vanished amidst the crackling of flames, and its massive body would eventually be transformed into excellent raw material for alchemical weapons under the corrosive influence of mercury.

……

A few days later, at Shrek Academy, inside the Sea God Pavilion.

Only ten days have passed since the last Sea God Pavilion meeting, yet another meeting has been convened due to a sudden piece of intelligence from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

A careful count reveals that the number of Poseidon Pavilion meetings held this year is even more than the total number of meetings held in the previous few years combined.

Due to specific business reasons, apart from Mu En and the elders, Zhang Lexuan, a candidate for the position of Pavilion Master, was also present at this meeting of the Sea God Pavilion.

Mu En, who was in the first position, put down the letter in his hand and handed it to Xuan Zi, who was standing next to him. "Pass them around and read them."

After a long while, when Zhang Lexuan, who was last in line, finished reading the letter, the Sea God Pavilion suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

The letter contained few words, but each word was extremely important. The first key point was that Ye Xuan was still alive and appeared to be unharmed, and it also demonstrated his extremely deep connection with the soul beast race.

This can be seen from the fact that Ye Xuan could openly embrace the most important auspicious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest and even the entire soul beast race.

The second key point is the mysterious silver-haired woman beside Ye Xuan. According to the intelligence provided by the Heavenly Soul Empire, the woman is quite intimate with Ye Xuan and her strength is unfathomable. Even her specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, and her identity is even more unpredictable.

"Speak up, everyone. Share your thoughts on this matter. Xuanzi, you go first," Mu En said calmly.

"Yes, Mr. Mu."

Xuanzi stood up and pondered for a moment before speaking, "I don't need to say more, everyone should already know that Ye Xuan survived. He didn't suffer any injuries after fighting Di Tian, ​​at least not on the surface."

"So that means that if there are no more secrets involved, Ye Xuan's strength is probably far greater than what he has shown. At the very least, he should be at the level of a level 99 Limit Douluo."

What Xuanzi said was the reason for everyone's silence. Ye Xuan, with his peak strength of level 98, was already enough to stand at the top of the continent. So what about level 99?
If Ye Xuan broke through to level 99 temporarily, that would be fine, but what if he was fighting against Di Tian at level 98?
That's terrifying! Level 98 is equivalent to level 99 Limit Douluo. What if he breaks through to the Limit Douluo realm?

By then, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would be the best in the world, and no one would doubt whether Ye Xuan could take that step.

"Well, let me tell you the rest."

Old Song sighed, stood up, and continued, "Based on the information from last time, and considering that Ye Xuan was carrying a mythical beast, I am almost certain that Ye Xuan is the person that Di Tian and the others are willing to do anything to find. His status among the soul beasts is comparable to that of a mythical beast, or even surpasses it."

"After all, everyone knows Di Tian's personality. If we don't say he trusts humans to the extreme, we can only say he hates them to the bone. Before this news, I would never have believed that Di Tian would allow a human to have close contact with the auspicious beast."

“That’s right. Ye Xuan must have a bigger secret, and he must be very important to the soul beast race. Unfortunately, all we know so far is that Ye Xuan is a person. We know nothing about his martial soul, age, appearance, or background. Even the name Ye Xuan may be fake. Alas…” The elders couldn’t help but sigh.

However, after they finished stating the first key point, no one spoke again, and they would occasionally glance at Zhang Lexuan, who was sitting at the end of the table, silent and with her head down.

The reason is simple: just a few days ago, everyone thought that Ye Xuan had helped Zhang Lexuan, but a few days later, another mysterious woman appeared beside Ye Xuan, and according to the description, the two did not have a normal relationship.

This left the venerable elders speechless.

In addition, the relationship between Zhang Lexuan and Ye Xuan also reminded many elders of their past lives.

It's strange, but it seems that this generation of Poseidon Pavilion members, including Mu En, all have some emotional connection with the term "evil soul master".

Mu En looked at Zhang Lexuan and said gently, "Lexuan."

Zhang Lexuan was taken aback when she heard the voice, and then immediately stood up. After seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes when they looked at her, she immediately understood what the elders were thinking.

She simply smiled gently as usual, then shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing that even Zhang Lexuan, the victim, was like this, Mu En had nothing more to say.

"Alright, let's put Ye Xuan aside for now. Has Mo Yuan already left the academy?" Mu En asked Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe stood up and replied, "Yes, teacher. This morning, Mo Yuan left the academy heading north. It seems he is going to the far north for training. As you instructed, I did not send anyone to follow him secretly."

“Alright.” Moon nodded. “Since you’ve been called on, then give a report on the recent progress of the adjudication team.”

Yan Shaozhe, who was already halfway seated, froze upon hearing this. His face twitched slightly, and he inwardly groaned in despair. However, he couldn't disobey Mu En's words.

Fortunately, he paid attention to this matter, otherwise he would definitely have received a scolding later.

After recalling for a while, Yan Shaozhe began to talk about the Judgment Team. "Teacher, the Judgment Team currently has a total of fifty members, all of whom are Soul Kings. They are divided into five teams to search for children who have awakened evil martial souls in various parts of the continent."

"We have now found a child who meets the criteria, and on the way back, we were blocked by evil spirit masters. Fortunately, there were inner court disciples on surveillance missions nearby, so no accidents occurred."

"That child is now being taught in a special preschool program set up by the Foreign Languages ​​Institute..."
