Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 448 Land Reclamation
Bai Yuan sneered inwardly. The Blood God Legion's higher-ups' vigilance and suspicion were meaningless to him. In fact, it could be said that their initial defensive strategy was correct.

From the very beginning, he did not harbor any lofty purpose of "guarding the frontiers for humanity".

His mission was crystal clear: to thoroughly investigate the Blood God Legion's defenses, the specific details of the abyss passage, and to find the right opportunity.

Notify the main body, Gula, to teleport all eight avatars, including himself, to absorb the pure life energy leaking from the Abyss Plane, complete a collective evolution, and help the main body successfully obtain and stabilize the long-planned third martial soul!
Of course, this action itself is beneficial to the Blood God Legion, but it is detrimental to Tang San's grand plan of ten thousand years.

But Gula wouldn't care, just as Tang San didn't care about the bunch of "cannon fodder" who died over the past 6,400 years to stop the invasion of the Abyss. Ten thousand years is too long; it's just a casual move by a god.

"But... Mu Yi, is he still not done with the Heavenly Forging? That's a bit slow."

Bai Yuan muttered to himself, suppressing a trace of irritation in his heart, and went to report to the melee regiment as assigned.

Compared to Tang Wulin, who was incredibly lucky and was directly assigned to the reconnaissance battalion where it was easy to gain military merits and get promoted quickly, Tang Wulin was much luckier.

He was assigned to a close combat regiment that required long-term fixed posts and slow accumulation of military merits, becoming a "miserable" sentry, which made him quite angry at the moment.

……

Far away in Tiandou City, at the top floor of the Forging Masters Association.

Mu Yi suddenly felt a slight tremor in his mind, as if someone was talking to him, but he did not get distracted and focused all his attention on the forging hammer in his hand.

The scorching metal stretched and hummed under the hammer, its spirituality already at its peak, only lacking the final step of invoking the elements of heaven and earth and bringing down the tribulation of lightning.

"Buzz—!" The flawless light of the soul forging shone brightly once again, but then slowly faded away, ultimately failing to attract the crucial lightning tribulation.

Mu Yi put down the forging hammer, his brows furrowing slightly.

He had touched the threshold of Heavenly Forging countless times, and his inspiration had burst forth many times, but he always failed at the last moment.

He seriously suspected that the Heavenly Forging required triggering the elemental lightning tribulation of the plane for final tempering, and since he was not a "Tang family member," he was deliberately targeted by the plane master Tang Hao, and even his chance to sense and trigger the lightning tribulation was taken away.
"Mu Yi, don't be discouraged."

The master craftsman Zhenhua stepped forward, looked at the exceptionally high-quality soul-forged metal, and comforted her:
"Back then, it took me more than ten years to truly grasp that sliver of opportunity to communicate with the elemental lightning tribulation. With your talent and comprehension, as long as you persevere, you will surely master the Heavenly Forging technique."

Mu Yi raised his head, revealing a handsome face with a gentle smile, his long green hair casually draped over his shoulders, resembling a refined scholar.

But those who have witnessed his true form, the Platinum Martial Soul, awakening and appearing like a ferocious humanoid beast, will never be fooled by this appearance.

He bowed slightly: "Thank you, teacher. I won't be discouraged. I'll keep trying."

Zhenhua nodded and turned to leave.

After Zhenhua left, Mu Yi took out his communication soul tool, intending to send a message to his main body, Gula, explaining his predicament, but after a moment's thought, he gave up.

"Just in case, let's synchronize the memories directly."

With a thought, he transmitted all his recent insights, attempts, and deep doubts about the obstacles in his Heavenly Forging through the mysterious connection between his avatar and his true self.

……

At the Spirit Tower headquarters, Gula was enjoying a peaceful and unsupervised time of cultivation. His newfound power as a Soul Douluo gave him a lot more confidence, and he was slowly planning his path to godhood.

Suddenly, his expression darkened, and a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

Bai Yuan's frustration and Mu Yi's bottleneck—two memories flooded his mind simultaneously.

"Both incarnations are going wrong... It's like someone's working against me!"

Gula's eyes were cold.

The dissatisfaction of his two avatars is the dissatisfaction of his true self.

This seriously delayed his overall plan! What nonsense about the grand plan of ten thousand years, the evolution of dimensions—Gula didn't care at all!

He snorted coldly, leaving behind a clone constructed with the power of time, perfectly overlapping with a projection of a certain point in the past. Even the ruler of the plane would not be able to distinguish it from the original body in a short time.

The next moment, the power of time permeated his body, and the power of destiny entwined him, causing him to try his best to restrain and hide his aura, fortune, and even his presence. His figure disappeared from the office in an instant.

"I originally wanted to achieve the goal of making my third martial soul possess the potential of a God-King level in one go, but I didn't expect the difficulties to be far greater than anticipated..."

Gula's voice carried a chill as it traveled through the space, "Since following the steps won't work, don't blame me for flipping the table!"

He activated Time Lock, instantly locating the largest and most active underwater volcano on Douluo Star. In a flash, he found himself deep within the scorching magma, hot enough to melt even refined gold, yet the terrifying heat and pressure had no effect on him.

Beneath his feet, six orange-gold and two gold spirit rings, eight spirit rings that could be described as heaven-defying, appeared one after another, especially the seventh spirit ring, which was at the million-year level, and suddenly shone brightly!

"Martial Soul True Form - Titan Tyrant Lava Groudon!"

boom!
Along with the release of his Martial Soul True Form, Groudon simultaneously and without reservation drew upon the power of his clone Groudon, who was far away in the Pokémon world.

The vast and mighty power of the primordial earth and lava, belonging to the level of a god-king, transcended the barriers of time and space and was bestowed upon him with a thunderous blessing!
Gula's physical and spiritual endurance is now vastly different from what it used to be, perfectly bearing this divine power.

However, he was meticulous and deliberately injected some of his power into two pre-prepared, simulated phantom souls, disguising them as two powerful "unknown soul beasts".

If anyone questions him in the future about why the troublemaking spirit beasts are similar to his martial spirit, he will have his own excuse.

What he is about to do has three purposes:

First, force Tang Hao to relax his absolute control over the plane, especially the elemental lightning tribulation, thus creating an opportunity for Mu Yi to break through the Heavenly Forging Realm.

Second, find an opportunity to give this plane lord who secretly sabotaged us a good beating and vent our anger.

Third, I simply wanted to see what it felt like to create a continent on Douluo Star.

At the same time, this can also weaken the authority of the Sea God Tang San in this ocean realm.

In the Pokémon world, Groudon once attempted to create a continent. Although many legendary Pokémon tried to stop it, no one could stop it unless Arceus, the creator god, appeared.

Now, Gula plans to recreate this scene on Douluo Star.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

An active volcano deep in the ocean has been completely triggered, erupting violently on an unprecedented scale!
Endless lava, like a floodgate opened, roared out of the seabed, frantically devouring the surrounding seawater, spreading and accumulating on the surface.

The scorching magma came into contact with the icy seawater, bursting forth with towering steam and hissing sounds, instantly obliterating countless marine creatures.

Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast that dares to approach will inevitably be swallowed up and burned by the power of heaven and earth.

Within Gula's body, the [Flame Tablet] and [Earth Tablet] glowed faintly, allowing his understanding of the laws of fire and earth to deepen rapidly at this moment.

He stood like a god who held the power of creation and destruction, at the heart of the lava, guiding this land-building movement.

Seven hours later, the earth-shattering commotion in this sea area finally attracted the attention of the outside world. At this time, a huge island with an area comparable to the combined area of ​​three major cities on the mainland had begun to take shape and was still expanding outward at a visible speed.

The first to arrive was the Federation Navy fleet, but when they saw the apocalyptic scene from afar, they were too terrified to approach and only dared to send a general with the cultivation level of a Super Douluo to investigate at close range.

Gula showed no mercy, and with a thought, he drew upon the power of the earth!

"Cliff Sword!"

A massive stone pillar, carrying endless lava and destructive energy, suddenly pierced out from the seabed like a mountain range, instantly engulfing and vaporizing the Federation Super Douluo who had no time to react.

The tension instantly reached its peak!
Tang Hao, who had been keeping a close eye on the changes on Douluo Star from the shadows, was also alarmed by this sudden turn of events.

He was horrified to see two "strange soul beasts" exuding divine aura frantically devouring the ocean and creating land.

"Ah Yin!" he said to his wife, who had just awakened beside him and was now the avatar of the core consciousness of this plane:

"These two soul beasts are of unknown origin and possess powerful auras. They are likely part of a conspiracy from the Abyss Plane, aiming to alter the planet's structure and weaken our power."

"Our son is the god of the sea; he will never stand idly by and watch the ocean be destroyed and encroached upon like this! You and I must be prepared to secretly interfere and prevent them from succeeding!"

Ah Yin sensed the disturbances in the dimensional laws brought about by the ever-expanding land and nodded solemnly.

The Federation reacted swiftly, and an even larger force arrived. This time, it was a true top-tier expert—the Vast Ocean Douluo, Chen Xinjie!
He holds multiple titles, including Hall Master of the War God Temple, Patriarch of the Sea God Family, Commander of the Sea God Legion, and General of the Federation. Judging from his titles and positions, he is almost the most loyal and powerful subordinate and representative of the Sea God Tang San in the human world.

Surrounded by formidable enemies, Gura, deep within the lava core, unleashed a roar that shook the ocean and the sky. A terrifying divine pressure spread unchecked, its sound echoing like rolling thunder in all directions.
"I am the God of the Earth! Today I will reclaim land from the sea and reshape the world! Anyone who dares to obstruct me—will be killed without mercy!"

The declaration, resounding and imbued with unwavering resolve and divine power, formally challenged the existing order represented by the sea god.
