Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 175 The Divine Beast Falls, Advances to Super Douluo, and Confesses for a Long Time

Ten thousand meters above the Haotian Sect's headquarters.

Shu Yan looked at the two divine beasts that had revealed their true forms, his gaze indifferent as if he were looking at dead people.

The Azure Dragon was entirely a bluish-gold color, like the gold of life. Its overall length exceeded 500 meters. Its enormous body coiled in the sky, like a thick blue cloud, obscuring all the light and leaving only a shadow filled with a heavy meaning.

The Titan Ape, on the other hand, is even more terrifying. Once it reveals its true form, its overall height is at least over a thousand meters. Its rock-like muscles symbolize ultimate power and dominance. If this were on the ground instead of high in the sky, its aura would probably be even more imposing.

But now, even with both divine beasts unleashing their full power, they are still far inferior to Shu Yan in terms of sheer imposing presence.

This made their hearts sink uncontrollably, especially since just now, Da Ming had contacted the God Realm through the special means Tang San left behind in the Clear Sky Sect, but had not received a response...

Da Ming knew exactly what this meant. Someone in the God Realm must be holding Tang San back, preventing him from providing assistance. In other words, he and Er Ming would have no external help in this battle. If they lost, they might really lose their lives here...

Shu Yan also noticed the hint of concern in Da Ming's eyes. He sneered, lit up his seventh soul ring, and instantly transformed into a giant dragon with a body length of over a thousand meters.

The dragon's claws tore through the sky, and a huge crack with a diameter of a thousand meters suddenly appeared in the boundless void. Dark air rushed out from it. The azure dragon that Daming had transformed into felt a weight on its body. Being suppressed by the superior being caused its combat power to be greatly reduced. With its own strength, it was completely unable to withstand Shu Yan's swift attack.

"Big brother, let me do it."

Erming let out a low roar, his mountain-like body rising straight up. The earthy yellow light imbued the entire sky with a heavy atmosphere, but when it met Shu Yan's claw that seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, Erming's seemingly unbreakable defense was torn apart in less than a second.

Shu Yan's attack not only perfectly fused the martial soul with the spatial artifact, but also drew upon the divine power of the spatial origin. Although Da Ming was once a divine beast, under the suppression of the plane's laws, it was far from reaching its peak level.

Even his current Limit Douluo-level strength was only achieved with Tang San's help. Faced with Shu Yan's terrifying attack that started with zero frames, Da Ming and Er Ming undoubtedly underestimated the power of this attack. Or rather, they were still influenced by their former arrogance as divine beasts and did not truly take Shu Yan, the chosen one, the inheritor of the gods, and the strongest genius in the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years, seriously.

The blow left a deep, horrific wound on the left side of Erming's chest, exposing the bone. Blood poured down like raindrops, and Erming's roar echoed through the sky, instantly shattering all the clouds within a radius of tens of kilometers.

"Second brother!"

Da Ming roared, but before he could offer any help, Shu Yan launched another swift attack. This time, Da Ming was also struck down from a height of ten thousand meters. Shu Yan's attacks never stopped, and all sorts of terrifying soul skills rained down on the two behemoths without restraint. Finally, a deep blue beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, and the two behemoths crashed to the ground, smashing a towering mountain into the ground.

Before anyone knew it, the two divine beasts had returned to human form. Shu Yan landed slowly and then stepped on Er Ming's muscular chest.

The ground around them cracked inch by inch from the force of Shu Yan's kick, and Er Ming himself coughed up a mouthful of blood, his burly chest caved in.

“From the moment you first underestimated me, you should have been prepared to lose your lives.”

"Just two beasts at the level of high-ranking officials, do they really think they're someone important...?"

Shu Yan glanced coldly at the two of them, and with a look of despair in Daming's eyes, he kicked down again, and Erming's life force was completely extinguished at that moment.

When the gods fell, the world changed color.

A golden-brown spirit ring slowly floated up from Erming's corpse, radiating a terrifying power far exceeding that of ordinary ferocious beast spirit rings.

Immediately afterwards, Shu Yan approached Da Ming, who was still breathing. Da Ming struggled to look up at Shu Yan, opened his mouth, but could not utter a sound.

He never imagined that a moment's initial underestimation of their opponent would lead to their complete defeat, even costing them their lives.

"The sea god, the sea god will not let you go, and you can't possibly defeat him."

Da Ming uttered his last words, and then Shu Yan beheaded him.

The azure-gold light once overwhelmed the earth-gold light, and the two divine-level soul rings surrounded him. The aura he emitted alone caused the surrounding space to distort violently.

This is a true divine aura, completely different from a soul ring composed of soul power; it is a higher and more powerful force.

At this moment, Xue Di and the others also appeared beside Shu Yan.

Shu Yan had previously refused their offer of help, wanting to see just how strong he was... but the reality surprised even him. To be honest, the fact that Da Ming and Er Ming were so weak was quite astonishing...

"What should we do with those people from the Haotian Sect?"

Xue Di asked.

Shu Yan glanced at it and said casually:
“Kill all those who have disloyal intentions. In such a large sect as Haotian Sect, there are quite a few people who do not submit to these two divine beasts. I helped them solve such a big problem, they should be grateful to me.”

Shu Yan's words are indeed correct.

Two divine beasts returned to Douluo Continent a thousand years ago and directly seized supreme power from the Haotian Sect.

The dignified Haotian Sect had to obey the orders of two soul beasts, while the direct descendants who possessed the Haotian Hammer martial soul could only be subordinate to the beasts. This was enough to cause dissatisfaction among many people, but they dared not act out because of the overwhelming strength of the two divine beasts.

Even more bizarrely, these two divine beasts forbid the Haotian Sect's experts from hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts to obtain soul rings and soul bones.

Previously, the spirit ring configuration of that level 98 Super Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect was only the most basic yellow-yellow-purple-purple-black-black-black-black. It has to be said that the old man's talent in his youth was indeed quite good, as he was able to cultivate his spirit power to level 98 without a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Based on this alone, the Clear Sky Sect's dissatisfaction with the two divine beasts was already extremely great. They might still maintain a respectful attitude towards Tang San, but they would never be completely convinced by the two beasts.

Soul beasts are ultimately a different race. You can suppress them for a while, but as time goes on, their dissatisfaction will gradually accumulate into resentment. This situation is unavoidable.

Don't ask Shu Yan how he knew this... The answer is that the moment the two divine beasts died, their souls were completely devoured by Xie Ji and Tianmeng Xie Di. God-level souls are excellent nourishment for them and even for Ilex. How could they miss it?

"Alright, protect me, I need to absorb these two spirit rings at the same time."

Shu Yan spoke softly, then said nothing more and sat down cross-legged.

The Yazi Martial Soul absorbed the Azure Dragon God-level Soul Ring as its ninth Soul Ring, while its second Martial Soul absorbed the Titan Giant Ape God-level Soul Ring as its seventh Soul Ring. Currently, the Soul Ring ratio of Shu Yan's two Martial Souls is incredibly powerful.

With the supply of enormous energy, all of Shu Yan's spirit rings have reached the level of ferocious beasts. This terrifying combination of spirit rings is something that, not to mention the past, even looking to the future, probably no one can surpass Shu Yan's achievements.

At the same time, it is unprecedented for twin martial souls to absorb the two most important soul ring positions.

But Shu Yan is confident that he can accomplish it, turning the impossible into the possible, which is also what he does best.

……

As time went by, Shu Yan's body was stained into two completely different parts by the two martial souls and the two god-level soul rings.

However, his overall breathing remained steady, and he did not encounter any problems as a result.

The reason he dared to absorb two divine-level soul rings directly at the Clear Sky Sect's base was quite simple: after he successfully hunted down two divine beasts, the God of Space sent him a message through the Heart of Space, telling him not to worry about Tang San and to focus on absorbing the soul rings.

……

It took Shu Yan nearly three days to successfully absorb both of the two god-level soul rings.

As for the lingering resentment of Da Ming and Er Ming's souls, before they could even "go berserk" upon entering Shu Yan's spiritual world, they were devoured by the gluttonous Xie Ji. After absorbing a portion of the two god-level souls, her spiritual power officially entered the demigod realm. Xie Di and Tian Meng also benefited greatly, with Xie Di's spiritual power just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the god level...

After absorbing the two god-level soul rings, the four ice-attribute soul spirits joined forces, along with the remaining ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow, to condense the final eighth and ninth soul rings for Shu Yan's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

These two spirit rings are also millions of years old, so they can be considered true god-level spirit rings.

Shu Yan's soul power steadily increased, eventually settling at level ninety-five.

Keep in mind, he only broke through to the Title Douluo level a few days ago, yet he's already a Super Douluo. This rate of advancement is enough to leave even the most elite experts and geniuses speechless...

……

After the two divine beasts died, not many members of the Haotian Sect clamored for revenge.

If anyone expresses any intention that is detrimental to Shu Yan, Xue Di and the others will immediately kill them.

Under these circumstances, the newly appointed sect leader of the Haotian Sect, who was also a level 98 Super Douluo, approached Shu Yan and the others with a respectful attitude.

After a brief chat, Shu Yan and the others left Haotian Sect.

With a history spanning millennia, the Haotian Sect still has some intelligent members. Many of the sect's higher-ups overheard Shu Yan's conversation with the two divine beasts. After careful consideration, they made a decision that went against their ancestors' wishes for the sect's continuation. Shu Yan is willing to give the Haotian Sect a chance. Of course, if they remain obstinate... Shu Yan wouldn't mind giving Xie Ji a quick meal.

His vision grew ever higher. The Haotian Sect was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed with a single hand in his eyes. Shu Yan was too lazy to waste any effort on it... Reshaping the world order was inevitable. At that time, the new rules would completely cover the dregs left over from the old world. Once humanity truly entered a state of rapid development, the world would truly change day by day. At that time, apart from praising his great achievements, who would remember the Sea God of yesteryear?

……

After returning to Shrek Academy, Shu Yan briefly recounted his experience.

The two divine-level soul bones were still in his storage soul tool. The one produced by the Titan Giant Ape was a divine-level torso bone, while the one produced by the Azure Dragon was a divine-level right arm bone.

Shu Yan planned to leave these two soul bones to his descendants. He no longer needed them. Although Han Ruoruo and the others were somewhat curious about it, they all agreed after hearing Shu Yan's plan.

Parents always want to save the best for their children... This is something that all normal parents in the world should be like.

The news of Shu Yan's advancement to Super Douluo was not deliberately concealed from everyone, and it immediately caused a huge uproar on the continent. Xu Jiujiu, who was far away in Star Luo City, also sent a message to Shu Yan at the first opportunity...

In fact, she was the only one among Shu Yan's many women who had never tasted meat. She didn't want to give away her most precious thing so easily, so she made a promise with Shu Yan that when Shu Yan broke through to the Title Douluo level, she would offer him her whole body and soul as the most grand congratulatory gift she had prepared for him.

Shu Yan was aware of some of the princess's ulterior motives, but he still went to Xingluo City.

In Princess Xu Jiujiu's own residence, Shu Yan witnessed another side of this most noble princess in the empire.

Afterwards, as Xu Jiujiu lay on Shu Yan, savoring the exhilarating feeling of soaring to the sky, Shu Yan told her about his future plans for the first time.

After listening for a long time, she suddenly stiffened, staring into Shu Yan's eyes, which showed no sign of joking, before finally saying:

Is there absolutely no room for maneuver?

Shu Yan gently shook his head, then said softly:

"For a long time, the world needs the integration of resources to develop rapidly. This is an inevitable trend, and no one can change my mind."

"But in return, I will not treat your Xu family unfairly. In the future, I will find a suitable divine position for you and make you a god. After the Federation is established, your Xu family will also be a major family of great importance in the Federation. In fact, after the entire plane evolves in the future, your Xu family will be one of the first forces to enjoy the benefits of the times."

“I have a way to evolve the entire plane. Do you know what that means? It means that before long, the Limit Douluo will no longer be the limit for humans and soul beasts. This world will be able to give birth to true god-level powerhouses… There is still a lot I need to do. You are very smart. I think your Star Luo royal family will make the right choice, right?”

Shu Yan gently stroked Xu Jiujiu's cheek. Xu Jiujiu's expression was complicated, but in the end, she still succumbed to Shu Yan's gaze.

"I will truthfully relay this matter to my elder brother..."

"But right now, this princess is in a bad mood and needs to vent..."

After saying that, she leaned against Shu Yan's chest and stood up. To Shu Yan's somewhat surprised look, she sat down heavily...
