Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 175 A Divine Inheritance Delivered to the Doorstep, Two Great Gods Vie for Successor

"Lin Mu, the Grand Elder has sent us to assist you," Golden Crocodile Douluo said, trying to appear calm.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu looked up at Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others, a hint of speechlessness flashing in his eyes, and said irritably, "Then what are you all standing there for?"

Seeing Lin Mu's attitude, Golden Crocodile Douluo's face immediately showed some displeasure. How dare a mere junior order him around like this?

If he weren't unaware of the relationship between the High Priest and this person, he would definitely have taught this guy a lesson.

Besides Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Phoenix Douluo and Lion Douluo were also slightly displeased, while the other three elders didn't care much, since Lin Mu's strength had already reached the same level as theirs.

"Bipolar static realm!"

Before the elders could make a move, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had already performed their Martial Soul Fusion, and their eighteen Soul Rings instantly condensed into a huge gold and silver halo, enveloping Xiong Jun in the sky.

Within the bipolar stillness zone, the space was almost frozen, and Xiong Jun, who had already suffered considerable injuries, was unable to break free.

Only then did Xiong Jun realize that he had been tricked; this guy had deliberately lured him into a trap.

"Let's do it together!"

Lin Mu shouted and activated his eighth soul ring again. The Qilin Melting Axe in his hand suddenly grew a hundred times larger, condensing countless scorching flames, as if it contained the power to destroy the world.

At the same time, several of the elders were also using their eighth or ninth soul skills.

The Panlong Staff, the Guangling Divine Bow, the Blazing Lion, the Azure Phoenix, and the Golden Crocodile King—these top-tier martial spirits all manifested, unleashing their strongest attack on Xiong Jun.

After everyone had finished charging up their power, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately withdrew their Polar Stillness Domain.

The next moment, Xiong Jun looked at the soul skills attacking from all directions and immediately let out a furious roar, while simultaneously swinging the Sky-Tearing Claw towards Lin Mu.

At this moment, Lin Mu's soul skill had been fully charged, and the molten flame giant axe, which was over a hundred meters long, slammed down.

"boom--!!"

The two devastating attacks collided, unleashing a deafening explosion that could be felt for miles around.

With the addition of the soul skills of Golden Crocodile Douluo and others, the surrounding area was already a mess, and Xiong Jun, who was at the center of the explosion, was on the verge of death.

A moment later, Lin Mu appeared beside Xiong Jun and said in a calm tone, "If you are willing to sacrifice yourself to me now, I can resurrect you after I become a god."

"You're dreaming! I will never believe you again!"

“I did not break the agreement. You ran away first. Since you did not stop me head-on, the original agreement is naturally invalid.”

After listening to Lin Mu's detailed explanation, Xiong Jun fell into deep thought, as if there was some truth to it.

Then, Lin Mu added, "Anyway, you're already doomed. As long as you willingly sacrifice yourself to me now, I guarantee to not only resurrect you, but also make you stronger, and even set you free, provided that you're willing to leave."

These words struck a chord with Xiong Jun, and he was finally moved.

If even Lin Mu cannot become a god, then no one in the world can become a god.

Without a single wasted word, an incomparably powerful, vast, and soul-stirring energy erupted from Xiong Jun's body!
A dark golden light shot into the sky, and a vast amount of life energy and soul power surged towards Lin Mu like rivers flowing into the sea.

Before long, a red soul ring containing boundless pressure slowly condensed in the light and, as if drawn by a force, enveloped Lin Mu's head.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Mu sat cross-legged, absorbing the 400,000-year-old soul ring.

"I can't even imagine how powerful the soul skill this soul ring will bring."

Looking at the dazzling crimson spirit ring, Demon-Slaying Douluo couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with envy.

Let alone a 400,000-year soul ring, if he could absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, he might already be level 97, and might even have a chance to reach level 99 in the future.

"In addition to the spirit ring, a 400,000-year-old spirit bone will also drop."

As he spoke, Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes gleamed with excitement. If he could absorb a 400,000-year-old soul bone, his soul power would definitely break through to level 99, even surpassing that of the Grand Elder. Upon hearing about the 400,000-year-old soul bone, the other elders also began to feel envious. Faced with such a treasure, no one could resist its allure.

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and stood guard on either side of Lin Mu in perfect unison.

Without Lin Mu's pills, they would almost never have been able to break through to level 96 in their lifetime. They would be willing to do anything for a boss like Lin Mu who cares about his employees.

Azure Phoenix Douluo, Lion Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo remained calm and observed the situation. They knew very well that even if they were to compete for the soul bone, it wouldn't be their turn.

Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo are brothers, and when they work together, they are no less powerful than Jin'e Douluo.

"Qianjun, Jiangmo, the Grand Elder only asked us to help him hunt for soul rings, but didn't say who the soul bone would belong to. As long as I absorb this soul bone, my strength will definitely increase greatly. Then I will help you hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Golden Crocodile Douluo solemnly promised.

Upon hearing this, Demon-Slaying Douluo immediately looked at his elder brother. Although he could no longer absorb soul rings, absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul bone could still significantly enhance his strength.

After a moment of contemplation, Qianjun Douluo shook his head and said calmly, "Second Elder, this matter still needs to be discussed with the Grand Elder. We brothers are afraid we cannot comply."

Although the 100,000-year-old soul bone is very tempting, it's not worth offending Lin Mu for it. Moreover, the Grand Elder is willing to do everything to help Lin Mu, so their relationship must be quite complicated.

Seeing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed. Although he was unwilling, he could only give up.

After all, the sacrificial process could not be interrupted, and with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo protecting them, even if they coveted this 400,000-year-old soul bone, they could only choose to give it up.

After some time, Lin Mu finally finished absorbing the soul ring, and his soul power soared to level ninety-three.

Just then, two beams of light, one red and one green, appeared out of nowhere and pierced directly into his brow.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful voice rang in his mind.

"Having achieved the status of a Fire-attribute Title Douluo, mastered the ultimate flame, and been under thirty years old, you are qualified to inherit the divine power of this God of Fire."

"Vulcan?"

Lin Mu was startled. In the original story, Ma Hongjun failed to inherit the position of the God of Fire, but unexpectedly, the God of Fire offered the position to him on his own initiative.

Just as he was in shock, another voice rang in his mind.

"Having achieved the title of Wind Attribute Douluo, reached speeds exceeding the speed of sound, and been under thirty years old, you are qualified to inherit the divine power of this Wind God."

"What the hell?"

At this moment, Lin Mu was completely dumbfounded. How come another Wind God has appeared?

Although he possesses both fire and wind attributes, he only has one martial soul. Why then did he attract the inheritance of two gods?

Meanwhile, somewhere in the realm of gods.

The two gods are arguing over who will succeed them.

"His primordial flame is the ultimate fire, and the power it unleashes is astonishing. It is most suitable for my position as the God of Fire, and he might even surpass that guy, the Sea God, in the future."

"Bullshit! He's more suited to my position as the Wind God. His speed is already three times the speed of sound. Once he inherits my position as the Wind God, even a God King won't be able to catch up with him!"

“What kind of skill is it to run away? Strength is the only true measure of success. Why don’t we have a contest? Whoever wins will be the heir.”

"Let's compete, you won't even get a chance to touch me."

The outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

Lin Mu was not very willing to inherit the two gods that were offered to him. Although the God of Fire and the God of Wind were both first-level gods, they were not suitable for him.

After all, he has four attributes, and possibly more in the future.
