Douluo: Infinite Fusion, Phoenix God Peerless

Chapter 114 Underworld Mark, False Alarm!
"The fifth level isn't bad!"

Staring at the illusory image of lightning, Su Ye felt excited and wished he could find a 100,000-year-old soul beast to test its power.

The Heavenly Divine Fist, as a divine-grade martial art, has nine levels in total. The first six levels only utilize the power of lightning to amplify oneself.

Going further up involves profound mysteries, requiring the comprehension of the laws of thunder, and temporarily possessing the authority to rule over thunder.

In other words, the seventh level is already close to a divine skill.

But the fifth level is also quite powerful.

Because of the increased attack power and speed from the Heavenly Divine Fist, Su Ye's own strength was already incredibly terrifying...

Even without using soul skills, just by unleashing the fifth level of the Heavenly Gang Divine Fist, he possesses the power to rival a Super Douluo.

"Even using his Martial Soul True Body, he can only barely fight against a Title Douluo..."

"6, this has become our trump card!"

Su Ye chuckled, feeling a bit like he was going against the natural order.

A Soul Master who doesn't use a Martial Soul can rival a Super Douluo in strength?

There is nothing we can do about it.

The power of the fifth level of the Heavenly Divine Fist is indeed much stronger than the barely usable Martial Soul True Body.

The Ice Dragon King's Arm Claw was the biggest help he received in his previous battle against Serpent Spear Douluo; his Martial Soul True Body couldn't withstand the attack of a Title Douluo at all.

Ultimately, martial spirits are still too fragile!

"The lightning attribute spirit ring has been successfully arranged!"

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Su Ye stroked his chin in thought.

"Right now, I'm missing an ice-attribute soul ring, as well as three inner cores: one of metal, one of wood, and one of earth."

"If one possessed the ultimate golden inner core, the defensive power of the Yin-Yang Limitless Technique would be...tsk, just thinking about it is wonderful."

"Unfortunately, the energy required to condense the inner core is too enormous; we need to find a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Go to the Star Dou Great Forest to kill the Bear King?

The risk level is too high. If they were to encounter Di Tian, ​​they probably wouldn't be able to escape.

"First, let's get the ice-attribute soul ring sorted out, and the wood and earth inner cores..."

"Let's wait until the time is right before we talk about metal-attribute inner cores!"

Su Ye had already made up her mind.

Zifei stood obediently by her side, not leaving. Su Ye walked over with satisfaction.

Talking with him, Su Ye realized that this wasn't the first time things had gone out of control, and he felt more understanding now.

When he truly harbors murderous intent, a force will pull him into a desolate place, as if only killing can break the deadlock.

This is clearly a problem with the Yin-Yang Wuji Gong. Su Ye guessed it was related to the understanding of life and death, with Yang representing life and Yin representing death.

After all, when cultivating Hunyuan Gong, the inner elixir will form a domain, which is also a matter of life and death, birth and destruction.

Su Ye's cultivation so far has been based on a pure focus on strength and energy, relying on brute force to overcome all techniques, but he lacks much personal insight.

"It wouldn't be bad to take some time to reflect."

"If he really turns out like Kumārajīva and goes into a state of demonic possession, that would be a real problem."

Su Ye secretly kept this in mind; too much of a good thing is bad, and neither is ideal.

Moreover, given his current strength, there aren't many people who can truly kill him.

Thinking about the eeriness of Death Valley, Su Ye finally had time to ask Zi Fei what was going on.

However, she didn't know much about it either.

Zifei calmly said, "Death Valley was like this 100,000 years ago. Every year, that gate would appear and take away high-level undead."

"Over the years, no undead creatures have ever returned. That door originated from the underworld, and it's likely that they're using Death Valley to raise the undead they need."

The underworld? Su Ye was already certain of this, but unfortunately he knew very little about the underworld, and the original work did not describe it in detail.

"...Do you have anything else to say?"

Noticing Zifei's hesitant and troubled expression, Su Ye's eyelids twitched, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Seeing that Su Ye had noticed, Zi Fei sighed softly. The two of them were bound together by fate, but the current situation was indeed not optimistic.

"Do you still remember the Soul Orb you obtained before?"

Su Ye was taken aback: "Soul Pearl?"

“That’s right.” Zifei pursed her pink lips, her demeanor graceful and serene, but her eyes held a hint of sadness and resentment. Everything was going very well, but then Su Ye touched that soul bead.

"That soul bead is a covenant belonging to the underworld. Once a creature obtains it, it will be branded with the mark of the underworld and unable to leave this Valley of Death."

"A year from now, the underworld will take you away just like before. No one knows what they'll do with you, so you..."

boom!
Like a bolt from the blue, someone was instantly stunned.

Say it again~
Blinking in bewilderment, Su Ye's expression turned unusually cold and ruthless the next second. "Are you joking or serious?"

Unable to leave Death Canyon?

What the hell is this?!
Do we have to go to the underworld?
If this isn't kidnapping, then what is this new type of labor fraud?
Sigh, Consort Zi did not reply, but only lowered her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with helplessness and sympathy, the meaning of which was self-evident.

“…”. .

When people are speechless, they really are speechless.

With a surge of mental energy, Su Ye scanned his entire body again, inside and out.

No problems were found in his body, but Su Ye discovered a clue in the Extreme Yin Inner Core.

The Yin Inner Core, resembling a pitch-black sun, was hidden behind his brow, its Yin energy swirling and unpredictable, giving off an ominous and gloomy feeling.

But no matter how this black mist changes, it always seems to carry the word "ancient".

The characters were crooked and twisted like earthworms, giving off a chilling feeling, and they were none other than the word "冥" (Ming).

"I'm sorry!"

Su Ye nearly ground his back teeth to powder, internally unleashing a torrent of curses.

He tried to shatter the mark with lightning, but to no avail.

The mark seemed to move around consciously; even if the inner core was destroyed, it would find another place to settle down, like a stubborn plaster that could never be shaken off.

Realizing the current situation, Su Ye's heart sank to the bottom.

Even setting aside the possibility of going to the underworld, he couldn't bear to stay in this hellish place, Death Valley, for even a year.

This is pushing someone to their death!
Is it settling properly?

Settle my ass!
Why doesn't he find somewhere else to gain insight, instead of doing it here?
Although Death Valley is filled with a dark and gloomy atmosphere, and life and death are commonplace, it is indeed a place to contemplate life and death.

But coercion and initiative are two different things!

With a shift in his gaze, Su Ye suddenly asked, "If I leave Death Valley now, will I die?"

Upon realizing that Su Ye meant he wanted to try leaving, Zi Fei quickly told him everything she knew.

"Leaving Death Valley will not lead to death. Some soul beasts have left, but eventually they could not withstand the scorching sun and were forced to return."

"Although the entire forest is shrouded in black mist, preventing the sun from shining, it provides a good habitat for these mutated soul beasts. Otherwise, Death Valley would have been extinct by now."

Su Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

Soul beasts can go out, and the Yin energy can resist the sun.

The inner core within him is extremely Yin, far surpassing the level of ordinary soul beasts. He should be able to withstand the sun for a short time without much trouble, and at night he can absorb Yin energy to replenish himself.

Of course... he doesn't need to be trapped here!
