Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 175: Deep in the Sunset Forest, the Evil Spirit

After a hundred days of crazy killing, Lin Yi had already reached the Xingluo Empire.

As the most powerful nation among the Three Kingdoms, Douluo also has the strongest control over its territory.

Although the Xingluo Empire has the largest territory among the Three Kingdoms, it does have the fewest evil soul masters. The Death Hand bandit group encountered in the previous competition seemed to be just because Xingluo was unwilling to invest too much manpower.

Lin Yi hunts in the order of Tianhun, Douling, and Xingluo, with the simplest Xingluo being the last.

But now, it takes some effort to get from Xingluo to Sunset Forest, which is equivalent to crossing most of the original Douluo Continent.

Instead of traveling at full speed, Lin Yi adjusted his condition while traveling.

After a hundred days of killing, Lin Yi was surrounded by an evil aura that could not be dissipated.

Even though it exudes a sense of grandeur, it still makes people feel cold all over when they look at it.

The evil spirit is overwhelming...

In short, these hundred days of killing have made Lin Yi's understanding of the meaning of light destroying evil and the majesty of the sun more profound, and his understanding of the majestic meaning of thunder to punish sins has also made great progress.

However, due to his deep understanding of various attributes, the various attributes on Lin Yi's body are now disconnected, as if they are going their own way and difficult to integrate.

Lin Yi planned to take advantage of the time he was on the road to reconcile his various attributes.

Life, light, and thunder are the three attributes that Lin Yi uses most often, and they are also the three strongest attributes in Lin Yi's hands today. They represent Lin Yi's first three soul rings and soul respectively.

Although the souls have not appeared much recently, they have been nurtured in Lin Yi's soul ring and have improved to some extent.

The one that had the highest improvement was the Thundering Hell Vine, because Lin Yi would baptize himself with the "Golden Tribulation" from time to time to break through his limits, and the Thundering Hell Vine also gained a lot of benefits.

Most of the other souls have their attributes improved, but only the Thundering Hell Vine has both attributes and years of cultivation improved.

Therefore, although the Thundering Hell Vine had never participated in a battle after becoming Lin Yi's soul ring, it did not feel uncomfortable at all.

For the Thundering Hell Vine, the happiest thing is to be able to devour thunder and feel the improvement of its own attributes and years of cultivation.

Now, the properties of the Thundering Hell Vine are no longer just half-ultimate thunder, but it is only one step away from breaking through to the ultimate level.

His cultivation level also increased by about ten thousand years, reaching eighty thousand years.

This is also the only soul ring soul on Lin Yi's body that can increase its age on its own. The other three souls on Lin Yi's body are envious, but there is nothing they can do. The racial talent of the Thundering Hell Vine that grows by absorbing thunder is too extraordinary.

As the only soul that did not provide Lin Yi with an external soul bone, the Thundering Hell Vine was special.

Moreover, he was the only soul who decided to sacrifice himself to Lin Yi without any other factors. It was just because Lin Yi was the son of the plane, and the Thundering Hell Vine himself was dying, so he decided to use his own body to fulfill Lin Yi's wish. He resolutely burned everything he had, sublimated everything he had to the limit, and added an extremely powerful thunder-attribute soul ring to Lin Yi.

It has become the foundation for Lin Yi's growth today.

The existence of the Golden Tribulation is the fundamental reason why Lin Yi was able to absorb the spiritual attribute soul ring in his fourth soul ring and later obtain the ultimate snow attribute.

Otherwise, it would take some more twists and turns for Lin Yi's cultivation system to take shape.

Starting from the fourth soul ring, all of Lin Yi's development was based on the first three soul rings.

Among the nine soul rings, the relatively important ones are the first, third, seventh, and finally the ninth.

Among them, the first and seventh soul rings are the most important.

The seventh soul ring is still far away from Lin Yi, let’s put it aside for now. The most important thing on Lin Yi is the first soul ring.

Lin Yi chose the life attribute as one of his two ultimate attributes as his first soul ring.

The attributes of Lin Yi's first three soul rings are life, light, and thunder respectively.

What do the three attributes have in common?
life!

Although Lin Yi had chosen it by accident, he had indeed chosen the spirit ring attribute that best suited him.

Although Lin Yi doesn't use the first soul ring very often now, the absolute advantage in combat power and the improvement in cultivation make Lin Yi rarely face the situation of fixed output, but even so, the choice of the first soul ring is still not a burden.

The life attribute is the foundation of Lin Yi's current soul ring system. The choice of thunder attribute for the second most important third soul ring is what gradually formed this system.

Then the spirit of the fourth soul ring, the feedback of the ultimate snow, and the comprehension of the earth attribute are all closely related to it.

The status of the Son of the Plane has been guiding Lin Yi to make the most appropriate choice.

Now that these have been figured out, the integration of attributes will be on the right track.

Walk and gain insights along the way.

Seven days later, Lin Yi arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest, and his comprehension came to a temporary end.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and was about to sigh a few words when the tiny poisonous mist particles had already been inhaled into his lungs. After encountering Lin Yi's body-protecting soul power, they were forcibly purified.

The irritation from his lungs made Lin Yi cough uncontrollably.

My plan to calm down was completely ruined.

With a long sigh, Lin Yi silently released the ultimate bright soul power to protect his body.

Seven days of adjustment in his perception caused a significant change in Lin Yi's aura.

The evil spirit that was previously rampant like a vicious beast with its eyes open has unconsciously been restrained, not dissipated. When Lin Yi needs it, the majestic evil spirit can penetrate his body at any time and transform into a ferocious beast with red eyes and black face, giving the enemy a psychological shock.

Lin Yi's aura has returned to normal, and he is even more approachable than before.

It seemed that as Lin Yi grew up, the status of the Son of the Plane gradually released the aura it should have.

But Lin Yi knew that it was not only because of the status of the Son of the Plane, it was a life that was sublimated again after being catalyzed by light and thunder!
The attraction that comes from the source of life.

In seven days, the life that had greatly increased its level of understanding after a year of seclusion was once again elevated.

Now, even if Lin Yi only has life attributes left, he will not be a weakling with only auxiliary abilities.

This is definitely an epic enhancement for Lin Yi's future plans.

However, let’s focus on the things at hand first.

Lin Yi looked at the forest in front of him, as if he could hear the forest crying.

As his understanding of life deepened, Lin Yi saw many things that he had not seen before in the sunset forest in front of him.

The resentment of living beings condenses and does not dissipate, the ecology is severely damaged, and the degree of life cohesion in the forest is greatly reduced.

Only now did Lin Yi understand what the scene would be like after a former large gathering place of soul beasts was destroyed.

Moreover, Lin Yi can now judge that this is a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster.

The reason lies in the lingering shadow of the vengeful spirit of the soul beast above the Sunset Forest.

This is a strange sight that can only be seen when undead magic is combined with the understanding of the way of life.

In the sky above the Sunset Forest, countless phantoms of soul beasts were wandering. They had hideous faces, thick black aura emanating from their bodies, and they looked hideous. From time to time, they let out shrill soul howls.

This is clearly a sign of a tragic death.

The aura of death rose into the sky, like a pillar of light, covering the entire place.

Lin Yi felt heavy in his heart. Apart from those insights, he was also the son of the plane, so his feelings were even deeper.

In a sense, as the son of the plane, he is naturally close to all living things in this world, including soul beasts.

Otherwise, Lin Yi would not have been able to easily obtain the voluntary sacrifices of so many soul beasts.

Seeing so many innocent soul beasts die tragically, even though they were of different races, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a nameless fire rising in his heart due to the compassion brought by life and the influence of the status of the Son of the Plane.

Just looking at the number of these vengeful spirits, it is impossible for them to form in a short period of time. Lin Yi still wants to know what exists in the depths of the Sunset Forest, so he has to suppress this matter for the time being.

Looking at the poisonous barrier that enveloped the entire Sunset Forest, the deep part of it was even colorful, forming a colorful miasma that was even more toxic than usual. Lin Yi's face became somewhat solemn.

Lin Yi took out the poison bead left by Du Luoyan, took a deep breath, and stepped into the Sunset Forest.

Perhaps it was a bit reckless, but with various life-saving measures at his disposal, Lin Yi was confident that he could escape with his life no matter what situation he encountered. Just as Du Luoyan said in his letter, with the ultimate poison pearl in hand, plus the purifying power of ultimate light, he was more than capable of entering the Sunset Forest.

As for what Du Luoyan said about his cultivation being even stronger, Lin Yi simply chose to ignore it.

Although he is still at the fourth ring level, that is because his requirements for spirit rings are too high. Otherwise, if he casually added a ten thousand year spirit ring, his current spirit power would be above level fifty-three.

This is a semi-fluid soul power with three ultimate attributes, which is extremely valuable.

However, it was difficult to determine the direction in the Sunset Forest. Having previously experienced his mental power being eroded by the extreme poison of the Du Luoyan, Lin Yi did not dare to release his mental power rashly.

After all, his mental power does not have the ultimate bright attribute of his soul power, which can purify these poisonous obstacles.

Fortunately, Du Luoyan's poison beads and poison barrier itself can guide Lin Yi to a certain extent.

The secret lies in the concentration of the poison.

Lin Yi could see clearly from the outside world that the higher the concentration of the poison barrier, the deeper it was in the forest.

The situation in the outer Sunset Forest is still good. Although there is not much life, there are still a few weak soul beasts. This must be because the poison barrier in the outer area is weak.

But at most it was a ten-year soul beast. Lin Yi had not seen any higher than that.

As Lin Yi went deeper, the soul beasts completely disappeared, and the only living creatures that could move were some half-dead plants.

At the same time, it is caused by absorbing the poisonous barriers here.

Unable to adapt to these toxins, they can only gradually have their vitality eroded by the toxins and become nutrients for the toxic barriers everywhere.

A large soul beast settlement in the past has become what it is today. I believe the soul beasts there must have experienced these things before.

However, the soul beasts’ adaptability is not as good as that of these plants. Before they can adapt, they are corroded by these poisonous barriers and lose their lives.

This was not Lin Yi's guess, but a judgment he made after he went deeper and saw the piles of white bones in the remote place.

The long-term erosion of the poison barrier had already made these bones soft. As soon as Lin Yi approached, the air that was brought along had already turned these bones into bone powder all over the ground. However, these bones had already been hollow and only had a shape.

The deeper you go, the larger the bones generally become. This is because the soul beasts become older the deeper you go. In most cases, the size of a soul beast is equal to its strength.

But now, no matter how powerful the soul beast is, it is just a pile of bone powder on the ground.

Lin Yi became more silent.

The surrounding plants have become poisonous plants due to the accumulated poison barrier over time. They rely on the poison barrier to survive, and at the same time contribute their own strength to the expansion of the poison barrier.

This is self-rescue from life.

If you are unable to change the environment, you can only adapt to it.

But most of them still looked half-dead.

Everything is quiet.

Because of the existence of the poison barrier, even wind has become a luxury here.

The thick poison barrier makes the formation of wind countless times more difficult.

There is no flow, death can happen at any time, the power of death gradually accumulates, and the painful passing of life makes this place a gathering place for resentful spirits.

During the journey, Lin Yi gradually figured out what had happened in this forest.

But Lin Yi didn't understand how such a huge and thick poison barrier could form in such a large soul beast settlement.

Thinking of the man-made disaster he had noticed before, Lin Yi understood that someone must have poisoned the place.

He actually forcibly destroyed the ecological balance here. No matter what the reason, this person deserves to be killed!

Lin Yi had murderous intent in his heart, but the gambling drug bead in his hand suddenly changed.

The poison beads had been silently absorbing the poisonous energy floating around Lin Yi. Combined with Lin Yi's extreme light, it was safe.

But now the poison bead suddenly changed...

Thinking of what Du Luoyan mentioned in the letter, the clan's records recorded that the Sunset Forest might have a way to resolve the backlash of the Green Scale Poison, and the sense of common origin that Du Luoyan felt after entering it.

Lin Yi judged that the sudden change of the poison bead was not a coincidence.

Moreover, it is difficult to determine the direction within the forest, and it is hard to say whether the place that caused the poison bead to change is the center of the Sunset Forest.

No matter what it was for, Lin Yi planned to go and take a look.

Lin Yi walked towards the side where the poison bead in his hand was changing dramatically.

It didn't take long for Lin Yi to basically determine that the place that caused the poison bead to change was probably not the core area of ​​the Sunset Forest.

Because as Lin Yi moved forward, the concentration of the poison suddenly increased and then began to decrease slightly.

This is obviously inconsistent with the conclusion that the place with the highest concentration is the core area, but Lin Yi did not change the route because of the wrong direction.

He wanted to know what caused the changes in the Du Luoyan Poison Pearl?
Soon, the changes in the poison bead had become extremely drastic, indicating that the end was not far away. Lin Yi's soul power circulated throughout his body, and various attack and defense methods were kept in reserve, and he became completely alert.

He would never forget that he was not a soul master of the Green Scaled Snake lineage. Plus, with the poison bead in his hand, no one would disbelieve him if he said he had a grudge against the Green Scaled Snake lineage.

There are poisonous barriers everywhere here, which is naturally a battlefield for poison-attribute soul masters. If one is accidentally hit by one of them, Lin Yi won't know where to go to cry.

"who are you?"

The sudden voice startled Lin Yi, and his entire body trembled. Could it be that someone else was still living here?!

While Lin Yi was wondering, two souls quietly emerged.

Although his body was not covered with black air like the soul beast, Lin Yi felt more nervous.

Because the two people in front of him are the upgraded version of the vengeful spirit, the evil spirit!
Not only is his strength far superior to that of the vengeful spirits, but his ferocity is also ten times more vicious.

The only advantage is that as your cultivation becomes stronger, your intelligence will also be more outstanding. Under normal circumstances, you will be no different from an ordinary person, and you can even preserve the memories you completed during your lifetime.

The premise is, don't irritate them.

Lin Yi said cautiously, "Junior Lin Yi, nice to meet you two seniors."

Perhaps because Lin Yi was sincere and his aura was somewhat friendly, the two evil spirits did not erupt.

These two evil spirits both looked extraordinary, as if they held high positions.

One of the evil spirits was a male who was over 1.9 meters tall, with neat short black hair. His face seemed a little stiff, with very little expression. He was wearing a blue robe without any extra decorations. He gave people a feeling of being very simple, but it was this simplicity that revealed his extraordinaryness.

The other evil spirit was a female, who seemed to be the companion of the male evil spirit. She was leaning against his side, with short dark purple hair. She looked somewhat heroic, and her temperament had a somewhat enchanting charm.

The eyes were a emerald green that Lin Yi was somewhat familiar with, and even the nails were dyed emerald green, giving the overall feeling a bit of weirdness.

After a brief observation, Lin Yi was able to judge that these two people were extraordinary even among evil spirits. Their bodies even had a certain sense of reality. He secretly groaned in his heart.

As if sensing Lin Yi's nervousness, the male evil spirit smiled kindly.

"Don't be nervous, little brother. We have no ill intentions."

Lin Yi pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. I don’t believe you…

No, you are a ghost.

This guy has played it very well for you.

But he said, "Senior, you misunderstood me. I'm not nervous at all. May I ask why you called me over?"

The male evil spirit smiled, and an invisible pressure spread out. "We just want to ask where the poison bead in your hand came from."

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly. Did he really encounter this?
Then the male evil spirit said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yu Tianheng, and this is my wife, Dugu Yan."
