Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 392 Energy Tide, Sea Soul Beast
Gula easily defeated Gao Zhen, the genius of the Temple of War, with a clone. The second martial soul he displayed and his incredible summoning and control abilities astonished all the spectators.

Prior to this, intelligence from all sides indicated that Gula used the incomparably domineering Groudon spirit in the Star Luo Empire. No one expected that he actually possessed twin spirits and had cultivated his second spirit to such a terrifying level, making him both enviable and fearful.

The match continued, with both sides trading wins and losses. The final standings were based on points from wins:
Soon, the approximate rankings appeared, with Shrek Academy ranking first. Their students fought fiercely and fearlessly, and they also had a deep foundation. The three Soul Saints had the most wins and the highest scores.

The Spirit Pagoda ranked second, with Gula, Guyue, Qing Liuli, and others performing exceptionally well, a well-deserved achievement.

The members of the Temple of War are of average strength and have a tough style, ranking third.

The Federation team ranked fourth, relying on its numbers and a few strong players.

Although the Northern Navy Corps has a geographical advantage, it is still just a single corps and its overall strength is at the bottom.

Although the rankings are already set, the Northern Navy Legion is, after all, part of the same faction as the Federation and the Temple of War, and will eventually receive a share of resources, albeit the smallest share.

Just as all parties were preparing to pack up and leave, and to begin the allocation and exploitation of resources, an unexpected change occurred.

The entire Devil's Island suddenly began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying tide, a mixture of pure life energy and violent destructive energy, erupted from the depths of the island, especially from the newly opened mines, without warning.

Its intensity is comparable to an energy tide that occurs only once in a century!
"careful!"

"Energy Tide! Defend now!"

The leaders and experts from each faction paled in shock, exclaiming in alarm.
They each displayed their unique abilities, some erecting powerful soul power shields, others unleashing defensive soul skills, and still others relying on their battle armor to withstand the impact. At the same time, they rescued the ordinary miners and engineers who had no ability to resist as quickly as possible, taking them away from the core area of ​​the energy impact.

If an ordinary person were to be touched even a little bit of that destructive energy, they would die instantly!

The chaos lasted for more than half an hour before the tide gradually subsided.

A small portion of the heavy mining equipment that couldn't be evacuated in time was corroded by the destructive energy and turned into scrap metal. The group, still shaken, looked at each other in disbelief.

"This is strange. Wasn't the energy of Devil Island supposed to have dissipated? How can such a strong energy tide still be erupting? What if it happens a few more times? How can we continue mining?"

Looking at the chaotic scene, Feng Wuyu spoke in a gruff voice, his fiery red beard standing on end.

The Phantom Brain Douluo, Han Tianyi, carefully sensed the residual energy fluctuations in the air, and then observed the mine and the cracks in the ground. He pondered and said:

"In my opinion, it is not an energy resurgence. Rather, it is because the two forces of life and destruction have long since deeply penetrated the island's strata and mineral veins."

"Our recent mining blasting disrupted the geological structure, allowing this deeply buried energy to find an outlet and erupt all at once. Once this accumulated energy has been released, we should be able to resume normal mining operations."

The other titled Douluo also released their spiritual power to investigate and confirmed Han Tianyi's judgment.

Although this tide was terrifyingly strong, it lacked momentum and was actually a stockpile rising from underground.

However, every blessing has its curse. This energy tide, which mixes two opposing attributes, can be an excellent opportunity for Soul Masters to temper their bodies, hone their soul power, and even comprehend profound meanings if they can withstand its destructive power.

After a brief discussion, the team leaders immediately decided that all participants would remain on the island to utilize the rare energy tide for training. At the same time, they would also need to remain stationed there to prevent any further tidal surges that could cause accidents.

Thus, under the protection of their elders, the young elites such as Gula, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue found areas with relatively balanced energy or suitable for their own attributes and began to cultivate.

However, they, along with those titled Douluo leaders, greatly underestimated the total amount of energy accumulated beneath Devil Island over the past thousand years.

The tides do not end in one go, but rather erupt intermittently, with each wave stronger than the last.

By the third day, the energy emitted had become so concentrated that even powerful experts at the Title Douluo level could clearly feel the benefits.

Such a vast amount of life energy is an irresistible temptation for the soul beasts in the ocean.

On the fourth day, when everyone awoke from their cultivation, they discovered that the sea area on the side of Devil Island with the most abundant life energy had been surrounded by countless sea spirit beasts.

Various bizarre and ferocious sea spirit beasts surged out of the deep sea, greedily absorbing the life force permeating the air. Even more chillingly, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was spotted among them.

Everyone knows that these powerful sea spirit beasts are social creatures; the appearance of one means that there must be a group of them nearby!
Immediately afterwards, that morning, four terrifyingly powerful pressures slowly rose from the deep sea and locked onto Devil Island.

A 100,000-year-old demonic great white shark, over 30 meters long, with a body as white as snow and a dorsal fin like a sharp blade.

A massive, 100,000-year-old Ice Extreme Mystic Whale, its body as large as a small mountain and radiating an extremely cold aura. Also present were two other sea spirit beasts, the Giant Claw Demon Crab and the Dark Demon Tentacle King, each possessing a different form and radiating a terrifying aura of 100,000-year age.

Even more terrifying is that the auras of the Giant Claw Demon Crab and the Dark Demon Tentacle King have reached the level of ferocious beasts with more than 200,000 years of cultivation, while the huge Ice Extreme Xuan Whale has nearly 400,000 years of cultivation.

The sea spirit beasts gathered in greater and greater numbers, almost obscuring the surface of the sea.

The life force emanating from the island grew increasingly intense under the influence of the energy tides, to the point that even the four ferocious beasts could hardly suppress the frenzied thirst for life of their sea spirit beast clan.

The human side's titled Douluo quickly gathered to discuss the matter, each with a solemn expression.

If a real fight breaks out, they might be able to win with their top-tier combat power, but the number of sea spirit beasts is almost endless. Once the war starts, it will inevitably be a brutal and bloody battle.

Even if they could obtain the invaluable 100,000-year-old soul bone and soul ring, the potential for a blood feud with the entire sea spirit beast race of the far north, and the heavy casualties they might suffer, would still be a huge loss. They did not have the authority to start a war without authorization.

The news quickly reached the federal leadership. Following an emergency meeting, the hawkish faction within the federal government gained the upper hand.

"Our actions against the Star Luo Empire have been blocked by the doves. Does that mean we can't even fight the soul beasts that are provoking us on our doorstep? We must fight! At least we must kill those two leading beasts to intimidate the sea!"

The order was given, and the warships of the Northern Navy Legion began to assemble on the outer perimeter, their soul-guided cannons aimed at the sea. The powerful figures on the island also prepared for battle.

The ferocious beasts among the sea spirit beasts keenly sensed the killing intent of humans and the obstruction of their life energy absorption. They themselves also entered a berserk state due to absorbing the dissipated life and destruction energy, greatly increasing their strength and fully unleashing their ferocity!
"Roar—!" "Woo—!"

With a deafening roar, the sea spirit beasts, under the command of the ferocious beasts, launched their all-out attack.

Countless sea spirit beasts surged onto Devil Island like a black tide. Various flying sea spirit beasts also hovered in the air, spewing ice spikes, venom, and energy rays.

"Form ranks! Defend!"

"Prioritize eliminating any soul beasts that are over 10,000 years old that charge forward!"

The human soul masters remained calm in the face of danger, quickly forming a battle formation. Their various soul rings flashed brightly, and powerful soul skills bloomed like fireworks on the coastline.

Tang Wulin let out a dragon's roar, and the Golden Dragon was activated. It was as if a golden dragon body had possessed him. Like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, he charged into the beast horde. The golden dragon claws were indestructible, and wherever they passed, the limbs and broken arms of the sea spirit beasts flew everywhere.

He even unleashed the Blue Silver Emperor technique, where countless vines with golden patterns burst forth from the earth, entwining, piercing, and devouring, clearing out areas.

Gu Yue hovered in mid-air, like an elemental queen. She effortlessly controlled the seven elements, blocking paths with ice walls, bombarding with fire meteors, clearing the field with storms, and strangely reaping the lives of powerful soul beasts through spatial cutting.

Qing Liuli did not attack directly. Instead, the light of her Lotus Lantern Martial Soul flowed, and she used powerful group mental calming and fear screams alternately, which greatly disrupted the sea spirit beasts' offensive and even caused some spirit beasts to kill each other.

Bai Yuan transformed into the abyss, unleashing his full Devouring Domain. Wherever he went, the sea spirit beasts were drained and turned into dried corpses, yet his power grew stronger with each battle.

Bai Haoze and Bai Zhicen, the sisters, the Light Unicorn and the Space Unicorn, join forces once again with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Instant Light!
The dazzling holy light intertwined with the spatial rifts, instantly clearing a large area, but it consumed a huge amount of energy, requiring everyone to take turns resting.

The other Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, and Soul Saints also displayed their unique abilities. Ningxi, using the Star Compass, continuously predicted the beast tide's attack focus, guiding her teammates in defense. Long Qingshan, wielding the Panlong Shield, stood at the forefront, his Unyielding Domain enhancing his defense even after being injured. Triumph's mech unleashed its full firepower, its soul-guided rays like a metallic storm…

Gura, on the other hand, became a unique presence on the battlefield.

He himself did not directly participate in the front-line fighting, but stood in the relatively safe rear. His Celebi Martial Soul manifested, and the Boundless Forest Domain gently covered most of the human camp's area.

Within the domain, countless healing plants flourished: Healing dandelions scattered light, rapidly healing wounds. Vitality ginseng emitted its aura, replenishing the physical and spiritual energy consumed by Soul Masters. Iron Heart Guardian Wood formed a barrier, deflecting stray arrows and energy impacts…

He was like a tireless super support, greatly enhancing the human faction's sustained combat capability and survivability.

Meanwhile, his shadow clones would occasionally appear in areas where the battle lines were stretched thin, creating small-scale illusions to trap powerful soul beasts, while various offensive plants would precisely target and kill any that managed to break through the defenses.

This battle between humans and beasts reached a fever pitch from the very beginning.

The coastline has become a giant meat grinder, with sea spirit beasts being killed every moment, and human spirit masters being injured and rescued by their companions, quickly recovering under Gula's treatment and returning to the battle.

Meanwhile, the four ferocious beasts, each at the level of 100,000 years old, were closely watched by the human titled Douluo led by Feng Wuyu and Han Tianyi, and a higher level of fierce battle unfolded in the air and on the sea.

Thunder and flames intertwined, giant waves collided with rock armor, and roars and howls shook the heavens and the earth.
