Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 252 Absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring
After Dugu Han and the other two left, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to adjust his state.

The absorption of a divinely bestowed soul ring is also closely related to one's own condition. The better the condition, the higher the age of the soul ring obtained after absorption, and vice versa.

He quickly adjusted himself to his peak condition, then gripped the divinely bestowed soul ring and began to absorb it.

Under his absorption, the divinely bestowed soul ring quickly transformed into a pure energy body and merged into his body.

Meanwhile, specks of white light began to appear above Dugu Han's head. The white light gradually gathered and took shape, and in a short while, it condensed into a crystal-clear white soul ring.

Immediately afterwards, the color of the spirit ring began to change. In less than a quarter of an hour, it transformed from a white ten-year spirit ring into a light yellow hundred-year spirit ring.

As Dugu Han absorbed the energy, the light yellow spirit ring continued to change color, quickly turning into a deep yellow spirit ring. Then, after half an hour, the deep yellow spirit ring continued to deepen in color, gradually adding a touch of purple.

Before long, purple quickly covered the entire spirit ring, turning it a light purple color, and the spirit ring's age officially entered a thousand years.

As time passed, the light purple transformed into a deep purple... and within the deep purple soul ring, a hint of black slowly emerged.

Then light black... dark black... black with red undertones...

the other side!
While Dugu Han was absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, Elder Mu also brought Ma Xiaotao to the front of the Sea God Pavilion, which had already been sealed off.

"Master!"

Ma Xiaotao looked at Elder Mu with a puzzled expression.

The Sea God Pavilion was sealed off, so why are you coming here?
Elder Mu explained, "Whether it was a qualitative change caused by quantitative factors or some other reason, the Dragon Girl's bloodline underwent a mutation, and the curse became extremely powerful."

"Even if I am a Limit Douluo with the Light attribute, I cannot erase it."

"Then why did you come to the Sea God Pavilion?" Ma Xiaotao was still a little confused.

"Looking for some help!"

"A Limit Douluo with the Light attribute can't do anything about it, but a Limit Douluo with the ultimate Light attribute is a different story!"

Old Master Mu glanced at the silver box in his hand.

Even if he could temporarily boost his light attribute to its maximum using the power of the Golden Tree, he couldn't guarantee that he could remove the curse inside.

But we should at least give it a try.

If the combined power of the ultimate light attribute, Ma Xiaotao's ultimate fire attribute, and the power of the golden tree is ineffective against the curse in the dragon girl's bloodline, then...

He also has a backup plan.

"Xiao Tao!"

Elder Mu then looked at Ma Xiaotao and said seriously, "You should already know why the Sea God Pavilion is closed!"

"Don't worry, Master. I know what I should and shouldn't say inside."

"That's OK!"

Old Master Mu nodded slightly, then waved his hand.

The gates of the Sea God Pavilion opened automatically.

"Let's go!"

Old Mu led Ma Xiaotao inside.

The moment he entered, countless golden halos immediately appeared throughout the main hall of the Sea God Pavilion.

Those halos were all formed from the energy of the Golden Tree.

Old Mu took a step forward.

In an instant, the halos seemed to have found their master and immediately swarmed towards him.

In a short while, a layer of golden light appeared on Elder Mu's body, and his light attribute, with the help of the golden tree, briefly overcame the ultimate limitation and became the ultimate light.

Ma Xiaotao looked at Elder Mu in amazement: "So this is the power of the Golden Tree!"

"Indeed, this is the power of the Golden Tree."

Elder Mu felt the pure light attribute within his body and laughed, "With it, no one can run wild in our Shrek Academy, not even Di Tian."

After saying that, a thought popped into his head.

Suddenly, a doorway appeared out of thin air in the empty hall ahead.

The wooden door opened automatically, revealing a small room filled with light, containing a golden pool of water.

Ma Xiaotao was very familiar with this room.

She used to often use this pool in this room to suppress the evil fire within her body.

The liquid in the pool was not water, but a manifestation of the extremely rich light attribute of the golden tree.

"go in!"

Old Master Mu took a deep breath and led Ma Xiaotao toward the open room ahead.

As the two entered the room, the doors of the Sea God Pavilion closed once more.

Elder Mu walked to the pool formed by pure light attributes, opened the silver box, and revealed a golden bloodline.

Then he pointed, and the bloodline immediately flew into the pool.

Immersed in pure light, wisps of black quickly appeared on the golden bloodline.

But in the blink of an eye, it was integrated into the dragon girl's bloodline.

"Grandmaster, what were those black things just now?"

Ma Xiaotao noticed the black color appearing on the Dragon Girl's bloodline and immediately looked at Elder Mu.

"That is the curse within the Dragon Girl's bloodline!"

Old Master Mu's expression was solemn.

As expected, there was nothing that could be done about it using only the pure light attribute.

"Xiao Tao, fire is also the nemesis of evil. You are the ultimate fire, so just focus on burning the Dragon Girl's bloodline later," Elder Mu instructed Ma Xiao Tao. "Okay!"

Ma Xiaotao nodded and immediately began to possess her martial soul.

Yellow, purple, black, and red—the eight spirit rings had just risen when the amplification spirit ring among them lit up.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Xiaotao's soul bone also lit up.

In an instant, she made her ultimate fire even more terrifying.

Old Mu also extended his hands.

The pure light attribute turned his hands a golden color.

He extended his golden left hand and gave it a slight clench.

Instantly, Ma Xiaotao felt the ground beneath her feet surge as if an earth dragon were turning over.

Then her eyes widened.

More than a dozen golden tree roots, radiating a rich, luminous aura, burst forth from the ground.

"Grandmaster, what is this?"

"The roots of the golden tree!"

As Mu Lao spoke, he controlled the roots of the golden tree to enter the pool, binding the dragon girl's bloodline and then quickly tightening it.

At the same time, an extremely rich light attribute is constantly being released through the roots of the golden tree.

Soon, the golden dragon girl's bloodline was once again tinged with wisps of black.

Elder Mu immediately channeled his own temporarily enhanced Light attribute into the Dragon Girl's bloodline, attempting to force the cursed power within it to emerge.

At the same time, he immediately reminded Ma Xiaotao: "Xiaotao!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao immediately used her Phoenix Sacred Fire to burn away the blackness on the surface of the Dragon Girl's bloodline.

The blazing phoenix flames greedily licked at the blackness that appeared on the surface of the dragon girl's bloodline, but the blackness seemed endless; as soon as one layer was burned away, a new layer would immediately seep out.

Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Sacred Flame burned for a long time, but the black color that had newly appeared on the surface of the Dragon Girl's bloodline remained the same as before, showing no signs of diminishing.

"What kind of curse is this? Why is it so troublesome!" She frowned.

Her ultimate Phoenix Sacred Flame, the ultimate light of Elder Mu's Limit Douluo cultivation, and the inexhaustible pure light attribute of the Golden Tree.

All three powers are the bane of evil, but even the combined power of the three is powerless against the curse in the Dragon Girl's bloodline.

The blackness that appears to have been burned away is barely a fraction of the curse in the Dragon Girl's bloodline.

Elder Mu also frowned. The curse in the dragon girl's bloodline was far more troublesome than he had imagined.

He hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Tao, increase your soul power output!"

"it is good!"

Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth and increased her soul power output, causing the terrifying temperature of the Phoenix Sacred Flame to surge instantly.

In an instant, a large amount of black appeared on the surface of the Dragon Girl's bloodline, which was burned into black smoke and rose up. Then a large amount of black appeared again, and it was burned into black smoke again, repeating this process continuously.

However, Elder Mu could sense that the curse in the Dragon Girl's bloodline had not been weakened as a result.

"How did this curse come about, and why is it so difficult to deal with?"

Old Mu frowned deeply.

He stared at the golden yellow mass, which kept turning black, then burning into black smoke and returning to its golden color, only to turn black again, repeating this endless cycle of the Dragon Maiden's bloodline. His expression was grave.

"We can only try this last resort!"

After pondering for a moment, Elder Mu opened his mouth and spat out a dragon pill.

The moment the Dragon Pill appeared, the Dragon Maiden's bloodline, which had remained perfectly calm and unmoved even when burned by the extreme fire, seemed to gain consciousness and began to writhe restlessly.

"Ok?"

Ma Xiaotao noticed this scene and was overjoyed.

"Grandmaster, it seems to have changed!"

As she was speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of an object in Elder Mu's hand that looked somewhat like the inner core of a special soul beast. It emanated a powerful soul force wave, and for some reason, she seemed to sense a dragon's might emanating from it.

"Grandmaster, what's this in your hand?"

"Dragon Pill!"

"Dragon Pill?"

Ma Xiaotao was taken aback, but then she immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Grandmaster, was the change in the Dragon Girl's bloodline just now because of it?"

"Not bad!"

Master Mu explained to her, "The Dragon Pill is formed from the essence of a giant dragon."

"As for the Dragon Maiden's bloodline, it is merely that she possesses the bloodline of the Dragon race, and cannot be compared with a true dragon."

"Among the dragon race, those of higher bloodlines exert extreme suppression over those of lower bloodlines, so the appearance of the dragon core caused a change in the dragon girl's bloodline."

Old Mu narrowed his eyes as he stared at the dragon girl's bloodline.

Since there's no way to remove the curse from the Dragon Maiden's bloodline from the outside, we can only rely on the Dragon Pill's suppression of the Dragon Maiden's bloodline and try to break through from within!

"Xiao Tao, continue burning with your Phoenix Sacred Flame."

"it is good!"

Ma Xiaotao immediately continued to use the Phoenix Sacred Fire to burn the Dragon Girl's bloodline.

Elder Mu also controlled the dragon pill in his hand, slowly floating it above the dragon girl's bloodline.
