Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 149 The Holy Angel and the Divine Tree of Radiance, Yu Bingyan crashes into…

To be honest, Shu Yan never expected Jiang Nannan to do something like this.

In his previous life, Shu Yan had read many novels with similar plots, but it wasn't until this actually happened to him that he realized how addictive it was to be able to watch the drama unfold.

As the saying goes, "when people are well-fed and warm, they think of lustful desires." Shu Yan is now completely satisfied in every aspect. If it weren't for the fact that he hasn't achieved his goal yet, Shu Yan would really want to live such a comfortable and decadent life forever. The reason is simple: this kind of life is just too pleasant.

……

In the blink of an eye, another period of time has passed.

That day, Shu Yan was having dinner with the curious Hai Xunxun and Xie Ji at a high-end restaurant with a long history in Shrek City. But soon after, Gu Yun quietly appeared beside the three of them. Shu Yan realized almost instantly that something must have happened.

But seeing that Gu Yun's expression didn't show much panic or anxiety, Shu Yan wasn't too worried. He had already guessed that what had happened must be a good thing, otherwise Gu Yun's expression wouldn't have carried a hint of barely perceptible joy.

As expected, as Gu Yun spoke with some excitement, Shu Yan couldn't help but smile.

“Okay, Aunt Gu, you go and send a message to my mother first, saying that I’m setting off back to Lingdou City tomorrow, and then we’ll go together to help her hunt soul beasts to obtain her ninth soul ring.”

Yes, just now, news came from Lingdou City that Yu Bingyan has successfully condensed her first soul core and become a Title Douluo. Her ordinary six-winged angel martial soul has evolved into a holy angel, and she now urgently needs a suitable soul beast to become her ninth soul ring.

Gu Yun nodded quickly after hearing Shu Yan's words. She glanced at Hai Xunxun behind Shu Yan, and then focused her gaze on Xie Ji for a moment.

She had to admit that the soul beasts who followed their master were all incredibly beautiful in human form, especially Xie Ji and Xue Di. Their beauty was comparable, but compared to the seemingly ethereal and aloof Xue Di, she was more interested in Xie Ji…

Well... very few people in the world can rival or even surpass her in terms of scale.

Although Gu Yun was still a virgin, her age and experience were undeniable. She knew that there were a few essential things a woman needed to attract a man's attention.

First, one's face and figure; second, one's temperament and charm. These two complement each other, and their connection is as profound as that of a martial soul fusion skill.

……

The next morning, Shu Yan used spatial teleportation to return to Lingdou City.

Yu Bingyan's martial soul has evolved into the Holy Angel, a truly supreme holy super martial soul. Its quality is even slightly higher than Wu Ming's Golden Crow and Ling Luochen's Ultimate Ice. After all, among attributes of the same level, attributes such as Holy and Spatial Death are definitely among the most powerful. This statement also applies to ultimate attributes.

Similarly, it is extremely difficult to find a 100,000-year-old soul beast with sacred attributes on the mainland.

Through years of searching, the Shu family has been able to confirm that there is a Divine Phoenix with an age of 70,000 years in the Star Dou Great Forest. It is a lower-level race of pure-blooded phoenixes that has mutated into an extremely rare divine attribute. If it can break through 100,000 years in the future, it will definitely become a beast king-level existence... This was also the ninth soul ring that Yu Bingyan had prepared for herself a long time ago. But now, this selection has undoubtedly been eliminated because Shu Yan has already made a better arrangement.

After briefly explaining the situation to Yu Bingyan, Shu Yan refused to let Shu Junyou and the others accompany him. The mother and son headed straight south, their destination being the Southern Forest in the southern part of the Star Luo Empire.

In fact, although human development is rapid in this era, the damage to the environment is not that serious. Almost every empire still has native soul beast settlements, and the southern dense forest is the largest native soul beast settlement in the Star Luo Empire.

On the map, this forest is roughly one-third the size of the Starry Sky Forest. It is worth mentioning that the southern dense forest is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only the northernmost part connected to the mainland. This geographical location is undoubtedly very special. Moreover, because the forest itself extends into the ocean, the climate there is also very strange, with more than a year of rain and sweltering heat, and it is often hit by natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis.

The density of spirit beasts in this forest is quite good. Although it is not as high as the Star Dou Great Forest, it is still incomparable to other spirit beast gathering places.

Shu Yan learned from the Demon Emperor that when she was wandering around the sea, she had sensed a powerful sacred aura in the southernmost part of the southern forest. Without a doubt, it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast with sacred attributes.

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise; at least Shu Yan no longer needed to search everywhere for a suitable soul beast for Yu Bingyan.

……

Heading south, the mother and son soon entered the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

As the most prosperous and powerful nation among the three kingdoms of the original continent, the Star Luo Empire developed faster than the Heavenly Soul and Spirit Fighting Kingdoms, but it was still a long way from the Sun Moon Empire.

The local customs and culture here are different from those in the central and northern parts of the mainland. The south has always been rainy and humid. As a result of the climate, the architecture here is not as grand and imposing as that in the central and northern parts of the mainland. Instead, it has a gentle and graceful feel, like the water towns of Jiangnan in a previous life.

Of course, this only applies to those prosperous cities and towns. As the two flew over, nearly 90% of the villages along the way were scattered villages, no different from the Tianhun Douling Kingdom.

The mother and son moved extremely fast, and within a day, they arrived at the edge of the dense southern forest.

Angelic martial souls are all known for their aerial combat prowess, especially the legendary six-winged angel martial soul, which is hailed as the "King of Aerial Combat." While the Holy Angel is merely a weakened version of the true six-winged angel, it remains a top-tier existence in the realm of the sky.

After venturing deep into the southern forest, the mother and son quickly found their target spirit beast deep within the forest.

It was a sacred tree that had been growing for 100,000 years. Its entire body was made of golden jade that emitted a faint golden light. It was extremely beautiful and dazzling, like a bright pearl rooted in the earth.

Shu Yan and Yu Bingyan exchanged a glance, and then launched a siege without hesitation. The Holy Radiance Divine Tree resisted with all its might, but in the end it was no match for the two demonic hands. Yu Bingyan severed its roots with a sword, and it completely lost its life force.

A blood-red spirit ring soared into the air, with wisps of golden runes flowing within it. The rich, sacred aura caused Yu Bingyan to clench her fists tightly. Without bothering to say anything more to Shu Yan, she immediately began absorbing her ninth spirit ring.

Shu Yan understood his mother's personality; if he could, Yu Bingyan would definitely make him kneel down and hear her say thank you...

……

In addition to the 100,000-year soul ring produced by its own body, the Holy Tree of Light also provided Yu Bingyan with a 100,000-year Holy Hymn head soul bone.

After absorbing the spirit ring and spirit bone, Yu Bingyan's spirit power soared to near level 94, a truly astonishing feat. This was understandable; the Holy Radiance Divine Tree was simply too compatible with her. All the essence of its ten thousand years of arduous cultivation was absorbed by Yu Bingyan, allowing her to progress so significantly. If it were any other ten-thousand-year-old fire or light attribute spirit beast, absorbing the spirit ring and spirit bone would have been quite an achievement for Yu Bingyan, barely reaching level 93.

The difference is so great that it is quite terrifying.

This is the main reason why most Soul Masters risk their lives to find a Soul Ring that suits them, because the difference between a suitable and an unsuitable one is simply too great...

……

After resolving everything, Yu Bingyan greeted Shu Yan with satisfaction and told him to return home. She had already decided that she would go into seclusion for a few months when she returned, striving to directly reach level 94 when she emerged next time, and then break through to level 95 within the next two years, truly becoming a Super Douluo.

Yes, the idea is wonderful, and the reality is simple. The divine attribute immortal herb, the ninth soul ring, and the soul bone that are extremely suitable for her have completely developed her potential. Now, Yu Bingyan can cultivate to level 98 without any obstacles.

But at the same time, another thought arose in her mind…

That is, in her lifetime, will she be able to transform into a real six-winged angel?
Can the Six-Winged Angel, a divine martial soul that lost its lineage ten thousand years ago, reappear in this era with its unparalleled glory?
Yu Bingyan had this idea for two reasons: first, it was an expectation and obsession passed down through generations of her family; and second, she had already vaguely sensed Shu Yan's plans.

Her Holy Angel Martial Soul already gave her the confidence to be a Title Douluo comparable to a Super Douluo. If she could evolve her Martial Soul into a Six-Winged Angel when she reached the Super Douluo realm in the future, she would directly possess peak combat power comparable to a Limit Douluo, and would be able to better help her son.

As the saying goes, a mother and child are of one heart, and Shu Yan could vaguely sense what Yu Bingyan was thinking.

He also longed to help Yu Bingyan transform into a six-winged angel, but that would take some time. At least until he found the relics related to the six-winged angel, he really had no way to help Yu Bingyan fulfill this dream.

……

Upon arriving in Shrek City, Shu Yan realized something was amiss.

Because Yu Bingyan had no intention of leaving at all, she had already made arrangements. This time, she not only wanted to obtain the ninth soul ring, but also to visit her other two daughters-in-law.

To Yu Bingyan's surprise, when she followed Shu Yan to Poseidon Island and opened the door, she saw Han Ruoruo sitting on the sofa, leaning over and whispering something to two women who were slumped on the floor.

Furthermore, Wu Ming and Ling Luochen were each bound with a golden rope carrying wisps of electric current…

Noticing the commotion at the door, Han Ruoruo only caught a glimpse of Shu Yan standing in front of the door out of the corner of her eye, so she didn't think much of it and just casually said:
"Ayan, step aside for a moment. I need to discipline these disobedient puppies and kittens. These two are getting more and more unruly, actually trying to take over and make me stand in for them... Tell me, shouldn't they be punished..."

Shu Yan opened his mouth, but no words came out. He just silently rubbed his forehead and then turned away.

After recovering from her initial shock, Yu Bingyan quickly understood the meaning behind Han Ruoruo's words. She smiled gently at Shu Yan, implying that she hadn't expected him and Ruoruo to be so playful.

Shu Yan gave Yu Bingyan an innocent look, wanting to say that this had nothing to do with him... He, Shu Yan, was forced into it...

Yu Bingyan definitely didn't believe Shu Yan's "nonsense." She pushed Shu Yan aside, leaned against the door frame, and quietly watched as Han Ruoruo used words that were inconsistent with her personality and way of doing things to "discipline" the two people on the ground...

At the same time, she was also sizing up Wu Ming and Ling Luochen.

Shu Yan had previously given her a brief description of Wu Ming and Ling Luochen's appearances and temperaments, but seeing them in person now, Yu Bingyan couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

Because both Wu Ming and Ling Luochen are undoubtedly top-tier beauties and geniuses, yet these exceptionally talented women are willing to be Shu Yan's concubines. Even Yu Bingyan has to admire Shu Yan a bit; you've got some real talent, kid...

Between Wu Ming and Ling Luochen, Yu Bingyan stared at Wu Ming for a bit longer. That figure… she looked like she could bear children easily. Yu Bingyan was now eagerly awaiting the day she could hold her grandchildren. Although she wouldn't help Shu Yan and the others take care of the kids, the thought of grandchildren was just so fun and interesting… The saying goes, grandparents love their grandchildren dearly, and Yu Bingyan felt she wouldn't be an exception…

A moment later, Han Ruoruo, who had been busy "teaching" Wu Ming and the other person a lesson, finally realized that something was wrong.

She suddenly realized that Shu Yan seemed to have been standing at the door without coming in, which was clearly not Shu Yan's style. Usually at this time, Shu Yan should have already sat down next to her and watched her "discipline" Wu Ming and the other person.

"Ayan, why aren't you coming inside..."

Han Ruoruo turned around in confusion, and in an instant, her body seemed to freeze and she couldn't move.

A thunderclap struck in the clear sky, dark clouds obscured the sunlight, ice and snow covered the earth, and the world fell into eternal night, just like Han Ruoruo's mood at this moment.

She never expected that the person leaning against the door watching her was not Shu Yan, but her own mother-in-law.

After realizing what had happened, Han Ruoruo felt as if the sky had fallen...

What she does with her family in private is a private matter, something that can't be brought into the light. After all, these things are her private secrets, little quirks that she tries her best to hide but can't eradicate... But now, her mother-in-law has caught her doing just that...

Han Ruoruo just wanted to smash her head against the wall and die, but her emotional control and strong rationality allowed her to force a smile after regaining her composure, and then she said in a trembling voice:
"Mom, when did you arrive?"

Upon hearing Han Ruoruo's voice, Wu Ming and Ling Luochen were first taken aback, then their pupils contracted sharply at the same time. They remembered what Shu Yan had said a couple of days ago and realized what had just happened.

After realizing what had happened, panic and fear surged through their hearts. Ling Luochen and Wu Ming struggled to get up from the ground, but the bindings of the Golden Ropes were still in place. No matter how hard they tried, they could only collapse to the ground. In utter helplessness, the impatient Wu Ming even had tears welling up in her eyes, and Ling Luochen was in no better shape. It was their first time meeting Shu Yan's mother, and they had been caught in this situation. For a moment, they shared the same thought as Han Ruoruo: the sky had fallen...

Two pleading gazes were simultaneously cast upon Han Ruoruo, but at this moment, Han Ruoruo remained stiff as a puppet...
