Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 342 Soul Spirit, Continuous Evolution of Martial Soul

The power of time surged within the silver bubble supported by the forest and sea space, repeatedly washing and purifying the concentrated essence of the seven-colored dragon soul and dragon cloud, bringing it infinitely close to a pure energy form.

The black hole vortex formed by the ultimate devouring intertwines with the gravitational vortex, like a highly efficient centrifuge, further separating and refining the complex energy.

In this ocean of energy formed by the last legacy of the dragon race, Gura's clones underwent their respective transformations.

Following Bai Yuan and Bo Xi's soul evolution, the next to undergo a qualitative change is Yin Wansheng.

His soul—the Yin-Yang Twin-Headed Flood Dragon—was a powerful being imbued with the bloodline of the dragon race.

At this moment, nourished by the vast and pure Yin-Yang attribute dragon energy formed from the souls of many fallen Yin-Yang attribute true dragons, it was like a long-awaited rain after a drought.

The two ferocious dragon heads let out excited hisses, their bodies twisting and expanding wildly in the seven-colored energy.

The boundary between the jet-black and pure-white scales became increasingly distinct, emanating a pure aura of yin and yang. The dragon's horns grew even more rugged and sharp, and dragon claws could be faintly seen protruding from its belly!
"Roar—Awooo—!!!"

Accompanied by two distinct yet perfectly integrated dragon roars, the Yin-Yang Twin-Headed Dragon's body underwent a dramatic transformation.

The pitch-black Yin Dragon and the pure white Yang Dragon are completely separated yet closely connected, forming a true Yin-Yang dragon with its head and tail connected and Yin and Yang flowing endlessly!

It is no longer a jiao (a type of dragon), but a true dragon! The dragon might it exudes is no less than that of the powerful true dragon souls on the periphery!
The evolution of the soul feeds back into the martial soul.

Yin Wansheng's Yin-Yang Ghost King Martial Soul trembled violently. The Yin and Yang forces in the origin of the Martial Soul reached an unprecedented perfect balance under the harmonization of the vast dragon energy and the stimulation of the soul's evolution.

It is no longer a conflict between eerie atmosphere and holy light, but has transformed into a profound and mysterious Tai Chi concept that encompasses all things.

His soul power surged like a rocket, breaking through three levels in succession. However, Yin Wansheng knew the importance of a solid foundation, so he immediately activated a secret technique to guide this vast soul power and dragon energy, compressing and condensing it wildly at the core of his dantian.

Om-!
A Yin-Yang Soul Core, emanating an aura of both yin and yang energies and a sense of stability like a mountain yet agility like the wind, was successfully condensed.

The moment the soul core took shape, it forcibly suppressed his surging soul power back to the critical point of level 53. However, the purity and total amount of his soul power, as well as his control over Yin and Yang power, had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The road ahead is smooth!
Immediately afterwards, Mu Yi's transformation began.
His soul spirit, Vajra Wood, underwent a dramatic transformation after absorbing a massive amount of dragon clouds and the essence of dragon blood and spirit.

The branches, which were originally as hard as iron, were now covered with a layer of fine, dark gold dragon scale patterns. The roots became thicker and more gnarled, digging deep into the bottom of the energy pool, like dragon claws gripping the ground.

Above the tree canopy, there are no longer ordinary leaves, but "Dragon Blood Divine Leaves" that resemble dragon scales, shimmer with metallic luster and exude a rich life force.

The Vajra Wood Spirit evolves into the Dragon Blood Divine Tree, a top-tier plant-type spirit comparable to a true dragon.

The feedback brought about by the evolution of the soul is terrifying. The vast essence of dragon blood and qi surged into Mu Yi's body like a torrent, frantically tempering his physical body.

His bones crackled and popped, their density increased dramatically, and his muscle fibers became incredibly tough, as if wrapped in dragon tendons.

Dark gold patterns resembling those of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree leaves faintly appeared on his skin's surface. Under the nourishment of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree's spirit, his physical strength instantly soared, becoming comparable to a newly promoted Title Douluo.

Its pure physical defense is even comparable to wearing a two-word battle armor!
At the same time, his original martial soul, stimulated by the dragon energy, spontaneously awakened to its golden form.

The illusory image of his martial spirit appeared behind him, its entire body as if cast in gold, radiating a sacred and boundless life force and natural pressure.

The awakened Golden Martial Soul devoured the dragon's blood and energy like a bottomless pit, frantically accumulating its foundation and laying an unshakable basis for future breakthroughs.

Liu Niandao's situation is rather special. He possesses twin martial souls: a weapon-type martial soul consisting of twelve nine-leaf flying knives and a mental-type martial soul called psychic power.

Neither of them could evolve by using ancient memory soul skills to trace back to their bloodline origins. Gula focused his attention on his two soul spirits.

His weapon spirit is a spiritual metal life form born from a top-grade "soul-forged metal".

At this moment, this piece of soul metal was thrown into a seven-colored furnace formed by the convergence of countless true dragon souls, blood, and dragon energy!
The purest dragon primordial energy, like the hottest flame and the most powerful forging hammer, frantically washed and tempered this metal soul.

Impurities in the metal were removed, and its spirituality grew rapidly under the nourishment of the dragon soul. The internal structure of the metal became more perfect and dense under the washing of dragon energy, faintly revealing a divine luster that transcended the mortal world.

It is only one step away from the legendary Heavenly Forging Realm!
Once Mu Yi's forging skills break through to the eighth level of Saint Craftsman, there will be an opportunity to use his power to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to complete the final Heavenly Forging, completely clearing away all obstacles to advancing to a million-year-old soul spirit.

At the same time, this process will greatly benefit Mu Yi's understanding of the mysteries of Heavenly Forging, and will surely help him reach the level of a ninth-level blacksmith several years ahead of schedule.

His telekinetic spirit, the Evil Eye Tyrant, went down a different path.

The Evil Eye Tyrant clan is exceptionally gifted, and this one is particularly adept at mentally interfering with reality. However, they are not stronger the more attributes they have; on the contrary, the purer and more singular their attributes, the higher their potential and strength of mental power.

Gula precisely manipulated the energy flow, guiding the powerful remnant souls of true dragons containing single elemental attributes to him. Like a whetstone, he used their pure elemental essence to repeatedly wash and temper the mixed secondary attributes within the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul, such as fire, ice, and wind.

"hiss--!"

The evil eye tyrant's spirit let out a painful howl, but its main body—the enormous main eye containing terrifying spiritual power—brighter and brighter, purer and purer.

The light from the accompanying tentacles and secondary eyes gradually dimmed and subsided. Ultimately, all secondary attributes were forcibly stripped away and annihilated, leaving only the purest and most domineering spiritual attribute!
Its form became more refined and restrained, with its main eye as deep as a black hole, radiating a chilling spiritual energy.

Its potential is already comparable to that of its ancestor, the terrifying being who once ruled the Demon Forest, "Evil Emperor, the Tyrant of the Evil Eyes"!
Finally, there is the only female incarnation, Qing Liuli.

Her martial soul is the most bizarre and the most difficult to transform. It is the Pure Glazed Heart-Purifying Lamp, and her spirit is the even more evil "Calamity Beast"!
This is a bizarre demon that is invisible and intangible, feeding on the negative emotions and psychological vulnerabilities of living beings.

Gula did the opposite. Instead of suppressing it, he guided the dragon souls of those fallen true dragons, which were filled with negative emotions such as resentment, hatred, and violence, and injected them into the body of the evil beast like raising a poisonous insect.

"Jiejiejie——!"

Nourished by the endless resentment of the dragon soul, the malevolent beast emitted a chilling shriek.

Its form became more solid and terrifying, gradually condensing from a blurry black shadow into a "True Demon of Calamity" with twisted horns on its head, shattered dragon scales covering its body, and ghostly green soul fire burning in its eyes.

Its demonic power is overwhelming, and the mental pollution it emits is enough to drive those with weak minds mad instantly.

Its most prominent characteristics are "omnipresent" and "betrayal and seduction".

As long as there are living beings nearby, it can ignore spatial barriers and silently implant negative thoughts such as betrayal, suspicion, and greed into their hearts, causing internal strife.

What's even more terrifying is that its nature is extremely bizarre, and ordinary soul contracts are simply unable to completely restrain it.

It even has the ability to deceive the contract and disobey orders without suffering severe backlash, after paying a certain price. However, Qing Liuli was prepared for this.

Her Pure Crystal Heart-Purifying Lamp Martial Soul is the natural nemesis of these dark, decadent, and demonic spiritual beings.

In a world where spiritual cultivation is generally neglected, this purifying power, which is purely aimed at the mind, is even more effective than divine attributes.

Just as the malevolent demon was taking shape, its demonic power at its peak, and it was poised to turn against its master, Qing Liuli suddenly opened her eyes.

The Pure Glass Heart-Cleansing Lamp in her hand suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

"Pure and Pure Light!"

Nine pure and flawless beams of light, imbued with great wisdom, compassion, and tranquility, shot out from the lamp, instantly intertwining into a magnificent, blooming "Nine-Colored Glazed Lotus," which firmly enveloped the newly formed malevolent demon within.

"Chichichichi——!"

Like a red-hot iron pressed onto ice.

The dense demonic energy, resentment, and negative energy of the dark dragon soul emanating from the evil demon body emitted a mournful wail under the illumination of the crystal lotus, and frantically melted and evaporated.

The demon struggled painfully, trying to bewitch Qing Liuli, but the light of the nine-colored lotus was like the strongest barrier, keeping all evil thoughts out.

Qing Liuli sat cross-legged in the center of the lotus platform, his appearance solemn and dignified, chanting profound purification mantras, and the light of the lamps grew ever brighter.

This battle of minds lasted for a long time. In the end, under the absolute restraint of the Nine Lotus Lantern, the demonic body of the Evil Heart Demon was completely purified and scattered, leaving only the purest and refined original spiritual power.

That was the pure "spiritual essence" left behind after it devoured and transformed countless negative emotions and dragon souls.

At the same time, its intelligence, which attempted to backfire on the contract, was completely erased, leaving only a powerful, pure soul essence completely controlled by Qing Liuli.

Qing Liuli opened her mouth and inhaled, taking in all the vast and pure spiritual essence and soul origin into her body.

Her Pure Glass Heart-Cleansing Lamp Martial Soul trembled violently. At the wick of the lamp, a dazzling lotus seed quietly bloomed, grew rapidly, and eventually transformed into nine sacred lotus flowers of different shapes and colors, slowly rotating around the wick.

The Pure Crystal Lamp evolved into the Nine Lotus Lamp.

The light of the Nine Lotuses can illuminate all darkness in people's hearts, dispel all evil spirits and heretics, and protect the pure land of the soul from being tainted by dust!
At this point, the soul spirits of all six of Gula's clones had completed their evolution, and their martial souls had also been strengthened or sublimated to varying degrees.

With the help of this vast dragon soul source, Gula himself tempered and strengthened his body once again, completing a profound transformation. His blood and qi were like a furnace, and every move he made contained the power to tear through space.

The colorful liquid energy pool gradually dried up, and the huge dragon cloud vortex that had been drawn into the sky slowly dissipated.

The dragon energy in the entire Dragon Tomb area had noticeably thinned out, and the true dragon souls were less than one-tenth of what they were. This gluttonous feast, which had lasted for an unknown period of time, was finally drawing to a close.

Dragon Valley opened approximately seven days later.

From the direction of the core Dragon Tomb Valley, a dazzling nine-colored pillar of light shot into the sky, then slowly receded.

A powerful and complex thought swept across Dragon Valley, carrying a sense of relief, resolve, and an indescribable weariness. It was Gu Yue's aura; she had successfully absorbed the core power left behind by the Dragon God.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Dragon Valley Small World began to shake violently.

The laws of space were forcibly rewritten and stripped away by a powerful will.

Gula clearly sensed that Dragon Valley was breaking away from the spatial coordinates of Douluo Star and being pushed by a force into the unknown depths of the universe.

"It's time to leave," Gula immediately gave the order.

The silver bubble domain instantly contracted. The Senhai Space closed.

The aura of all the clones was instantly concealed and suppressed by Gula's powerful telekinesis. Like seven shadows blending into the environment, they silently sped towards the entrance of Dragon Valley.

Almost simultaneously, the spatial repulsion force of Dragon Valley suddenly erupted.

All life forms that do not belong to this fragile little world are forcibly "squeezed" out by an irresistible force.

In the mountains and forests outside the entrance to Dragon Valley.

Space distorted, and the disheveled Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er were thrown out like trash, crashing heavily to the ground, still unconscious.

Immediately afterwards, several more Tang Clan members were thrown out.

Just as the spatial fluctuations were about to subside, seven barely perceptible spatial ripples flashed by.

Gura and his six clones vanished the moment they landed, as if they had never existed. They used their pre-prepared telekinetic abilities to become invisible and their ability to foresee the future to conceal their presence, disappearing completely without leaving any trace.

When the Tang Clan experts, Hei Yi and Elder Wu, who were in charge of providing support arrived, they only saw the unconscious Tang Wulin, Dai Yun'er, and several other Tang Clan disciples, as well as a scene of utter devastation.

They cautiously surveyed their surroundings, but found nothing.

What shocked them even more was that the closing time of Dragon Valley was brought forward significantly, and the violent spatial fluctuations just now indicated that something major had happened in Dragon Valley.

The two quickly woke up the Tang Clan disciples. Tang Wulin, with his amazing recovery ability, was among the first to awaken: "What happened?"

He felt dizzy and disoriented, and only felt that he had been asleep for a long time. He had no recollection of what happened during that time.

Fortunately, he possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, so even when he fell into a deep sleep, dragon souls and dragon clouds spontaneously gathered to temper his body and blood.

Hei Yi asked around, but no one knew what had happened.

Old Wu's face was grim. He could no longer sense the existence of the Dragon Valley Small World, which meant that the Tang Sect had lost a great treasure, and the Star Luo Branch had suffered a huge loss!

Elder Wu also decided not to guard Dragon Valley anymore. After discussing it, the two decided to send the Tang Clan disciples back and then report to their superiors. The disappearance of Dragon Valley was a matter of great importance, and they could not afford to take responsibility for it.
