Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 236 Changes
Heavenly Dou City, underground secret chamber.

It's unclear when exactly this fine tradition developed on the Douluo Continent, but various factions have developed a strong liking for digging tunnels beneath cities.

Of course, it's also possible that digging out secret bases beneath cities does indeed have significant advantages.

When fighting against other forces, as long as the other party does not want to become the common enemy of the continent, they will not directly use fixed soul-guided cannons to bombard the ground. At most, they will fight in underground pits.

On the one hand, it does offer certain conveniences, allowing direct access to other parts of the city through a single entrance, while also providing a degree of privacy.

It can also be used to store large amounts of supplies, serving as a secret base.

They could even create some safe houses, since the earth itself is the best protection, and even the strongest person could not possibly explore every inch of the land beneath the city to find what lies deep within.

A gray domain enveloped the entire room. The Hades Douluo Harosa, dressed in a gray robe and with an extremely handsome appearance, sat in a chair and sighed softly.

"It was supposed to be a week, but week after week has passed, and now more than a month has gone by. Am I supposed to keep waiting here? Then month after month, and then several more months, until that junior leaves Tiandou City?"

"If you don't want to wait, you can just rush in and kill him. With your strength, you should have a good chance. Don't tell me that the mighty Hades Douluo doesn't even have this much strength." A pleasant but extremely cold female voice rang out.

Not far away, at the edge of the gray area, stood a slender woman with long, purplish-red hair styled into a thin ponytail.

Its entire body was shrouded in black light, with even a faint hint of purple hue within the darkness.

"No, I just don't want to wait any longer. I want to find a way to get him out of Tiandou City so I can take action outside." Harosa's voice rang out calmly.

Harosa, who was able to lie low and only make a move every few years, would naturally not lose patience just because he had only waited a month.

His motivation stemmed from the inspiration he received from his "mother" regarding this goal.

For over a hundred years, except in necessary circumstances or when something major has happened, "Mother" generally does not give him any guidance, and even during major events, she will only give him one or two guidances.

Such a clearly targeted revelation is quite rare.

Harosa naturally wanted to complete this task as soon as possible and see what was so noteworthy about that young man.

The female voice in the darkness fell silent, showing no intention of replying further.

Although there are differences in status among the higher-ups in the Holy Spirit Cult, there is no rule that a higher-level person directly gives orders to a lower-level person.

These top experts mostly band together for mutual support due to their own habits or abilities.

For example, Dark Phoenix Leng Yulai joined the Holy Spirit Cult because she had her own pursuits and didn't want to get involved in things unrelated to it.

After a moment of silence, Harosa's voice rang out: "You find a way to arrange it, and I'll make up for the missing wraiths in the Demon God Sword."

"really?"

This immediately piqued Leng Yulai's interest. She hadn't expected that such a small matter would elicit such a large reward from Harosa, and she was immediately tempted.

Leng Yulai was in charge of the Holy Spirit Cult forces near Tiandou City.

Harossa may be the strongest in the Holy Spirit Cult, but he doesn't manage affairs or develop his power. More accurately, Harossa relies on his Netherworld Rebirth Domain, and his subordinates are mostly undead beings like Death Knights.

With these undead, he could single-handedly form an army, which was enough for fighting, but he didn't have many means to arrange other things. Besides, he himself wasn't interested in these things...

Furthermore, since Heaven Dou City is ultimately under the jurisdiction of Dark Phoenix Leng Yulai, he would have to inform the other party before directly commanding their subordinates.

"Of course, but you'll have to join in when the time comes."

Leng Yulai clearly hadn't expected Halosa to require her to provide after-sales service. "Is it really necessary? He's just a Soul Emperor."

"Just in case." After saying that, Halosa fell silent. After a moment, seeing Halosa's complete silence, Leng Yulai lost interest in asking any further questions.

"can!"

……

boom!
Lin Xingyu gently placed his palm on the ground, instantly creating a deep pit where his hand landed, with countless cracks appearing in all directions, like a giant spider web.

"Besides the extremely long lifespan, the biggest improvement is in combat power." Looking at the enormous damage he had caused with a single palm strike, Lin Xingyu murmured to himself.

The stones on the ground were all high-grade materials selected by Zhenhua. Even if a Soul King tried his best, he could only make a shallow hole underneath them.

But now, Lin Xingyu has caused this level of damage with just a light palm strike.

In the Golden Body Realm, spiritual power and blood energy merge. Although the power of blood energy is still blood energy, it has undergone a qualitative change.

Even if the difference isn't as vast as the transformation of soul power into divine power, the quality of his current blood and qi is far superior to what it was before.

Furthermore, achieving a golden body means that one's spirit is constantly integrated with one's blood and qi, allowing one to unleash a power greater than the sum of its parts at any time.

The combat techniques circulating in Douluo Continent all combine spiritual power and soul power. The Body Sect is a bit special, as it also incorporates the power of blood and qi.

Finally, add the will that forms the core of all combat skills.

Mu En's "Reign of the World" and Yun Ming's "Seven Forbidden Techniques" may differ greatly in direction, but their fundamental elements are quite similar.

Lin Xingyu's mental strength and blood energy are now integrated in real time, which means that as long as he adds his own will, every move he makes is a personal combat skill.

"Now, when I go all out and combine all my abilities, my combat power has definitely reached the level of a Super Douluo."

Lin Xingyu suddenly realized the allure of numerical values ​​and was somewhat afraid to imagine how explosive his stats would become when his soul power reached the level of a Super Douluo.

"Furthermore, there is the fusion of Qi and blood with spirit. In the future, all mental attacks against me will first be worn down by Qi and blood."

"It will only collide with my spiritual power after it has been worn down by the power of blood and qi."

"Then it will tear through my mental protective barrier, and only then will it affect the sea of ​​spirit."

"It's like putting another thick layer of protective armor on your soul!"

"Especially since the golden body has extremely strong resistance to all kinds of forces, its defensive power is even more terrifying!"

"With abundant essence and spirit, one's Qi and blood can be nourished and enhanced through these connections, leading to a faster rate of improvement in spiritual power in the future!"

“In addition, there are some other effects of achieving the golden body.”

With a slight exertion of his right hand, Lin Xingyu's soul power and blood flowed, and a bone on his right hand could be faintly seen radiating a crystalline luster.

"The soul bone has been rejected!"

The Golden Body Realm signifies absolute control over the body and a complete purification of its internal structure.

After the soul bone is fused, it becomes part of the soul master, but there is still a barrier between it and the soul master. It is not the soul master's own skeleton and can be separated.

Once the golden body is achieved, these things are naturally regarded as external objects. That is, Lin Xingyu used his blood and qi to refine these soul bones time and time again after fusing with the soul bones.

These soul bones are still connected to Lin Xingyu and can attach themselves to his body. Otherwise, they would either be completely expelled from his body or devoured and refined without leaving a trace.

If he were to absorb the soul bone at this point, it would be absolutely impossible for him to succeed; it would only be consumed as a tonic.

The form in which these soul bones now exist within the body is more like a spirit-infused battle armor.

"Therefore, the best way to utilize these soul bones is to treat them as a special metal and gradually fuse them into the battle armor."

"Because the soul bones have all been refined by me and have been imbued with my aura, the battle armor will not repel them."

“Even the Soul Bone skills can still be used, and may even become stronger in the process.” “I can also inscribe the patterns on the Soul Bone onto my bones, retaining the corresponding abilities.”

After pondering the corresponding characteristics of the Golden Body, Lin Xingyu suddenly remembered the innate secret technique of the Body Sect.

The innate secret techniques of the Body Sect are something that the sect leaders of the Body Sect have always cherished, and have even been able to continue for thousands of years, prompting them to invest various resources in them. Naturally, they have their unique features.

Once you master the innate secret technique, you can not only complete the third awakening of your martial soul, but also be guaranteed to become a quasi-god, which is quite powerful.

The so-called innate secret method, in essence, is to use the power of heaven and earth to penetrate, cleanse, and reshape the body.

That is, to use the power of heaven and earth to polish and shape the golden body.

The power of heaven and earth permeates the body, which is equivalent to tearing the body apart and then reassembling it again and again.

Normal humans would basically all die after this process.

That is, those with exceptional talent, whose bodies are most malleable as children, and who are supplemented by spiritual treasures collected from heaven and earth over hundreds of years.

This is the only way that humanity might be able to navigate this process.

It draws upon the power of heaven and earth to permeate the body and reshape the form.

With his current control over his body, he can completely control the tearing effect of the power of heaven and earth on his body to a certain extent.

His body was so strong that it was terrifying, and these changes seemed like a minor matter to him.

The powerful life force brought by the supernatural ability "Surging Life" allows him to be completely unafraid of anything going wrong during the process.

If even the most difficult body penetration can be easily overcome, then the relatively less difficult marrow cleansing, reshaping, and golden body formation are no problem at all.

"In that case, if I try it myself, it seems that I can really complete the cultivation of the innate secret technique."

What Lin Xingyu had previously thought was only of reference value, now seemed to be completely usable for his own purposes.

"With higher cultivation and broader knowledge, it's truly easy to see everything."

"Go back and try it. I hope poor Senior Brother Aruheng's heart can take it."

Thinking of how much suffering Aruheng endured and how much blood and tears he shed since childhood, and how he finally managed to master the innate secret technique with great difficulty.

It seems I can master it without suffering too much pain?
Finally, there are supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu's expression became serious.

The original supernatural power "Surging Life" has also changed during this transformation.

It looks much the same as before, but its various uses have become much more sophisticated.

Originally, it could only transform various kinds of primordial energy into the purest life essence, and it could also be refined again and again.

That hasn't changed, it's just become more efficient.

Originally, it could only transform the refined or gentle spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but now it can be a little more volatile.

Of course, you can forget about things like fixed-rotation guided missiles.

In addition, there is the manipulation of life.

For example, it can burn its own life force more efficiently and replenish its life force more quickly.

It can even directly absorb and transform life force, which adds a few tricks.

Shentong has completed an advancement.

The other is the second supernatural power.

This is the embodiment and symbol of the soul, and ultimately, the supernatural power that emerges from the interaction and condensation of the laws.

"The Heart of the Netherworld!"

Unlike "Surging Life," which focuses on the condensation of life force and only has one effect of life force.

"Netherworld Heart" does not focus on the ultimate effect of any one ability.

It focuses more on the application of spirit and soul.

In concrete terms, this manifests as the perception, control, shaping, alteration, and destruction of the soul.

His perception makes him extremely sensitive to everything related to the soul and spirit; in fact, it gives him something akin to a spiritual vision.

His "high-dimensional perspective" doesn't provide a significant advantage in this regard.

His sensory abilities allow him to perceive more pronounced mental fluctuations.

If someone calls his name nearby, the spiritual connection between them will trigger a response in him, even making his mind incredibly sharp.

It can perceive things that are not yet revealed in the darkness.

In short, it's like the cicadas sensing the autumn wind before it even blows.

A burst of inspiration!

Control allows him to better control the soul, guide the other person to a certain extent, make their thoughts and ideas follow his own plan, influence their emotions, and even leave his own mark on their soul.

His shaping ability allows him to make remarkably perfect modifications to the soul.

If a person's soul is exposed before him, and their mental strength is inferior to his, he can even implant a false memory into the other person, or even reshape their personality.

It can mold the other person's soul into any shape you desire.

Change can completely transform oneself into a soul form in a short period of time.

The final destruction is a direct attack on the opponent's soul and consciousness.

Overall, the ability of this supernatural power, "Netherworld Heart," is quite impressive.

It has the soul as its foundation, and possesses all sorts of abilities.

"Overall, his various abilities are quite powerful, but he can't be called invincible."

"There are all sorts of strange and unusual martial spirits in this world, and the corresponding abilities they generate."

"It's just that I don't have this supernatural power of my own."

After carefully considering it, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but complain, "It's basically all the abilities of a necromancer combined into this supernatural power, which is quite suitable for crushing noobs."

"However, the various souls within the Myriad Abyss Domain can be reshaped using supernatural powers."

"Furthermore, this supernatural power has greatly enhanced my understanding of the spirit and soul, making it much easier to improve my spiritual power in the future."

"It's possible that even the speed of breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm will be greatly increased."
