Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

As they spoke, the two slowly entered the all-encompassing mist and continued their journey deeper into the fog.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, aren't we going down?"

"No need. The more that beast goes into the depths of this soul beast habitat, the less we have to travel."

As you venture deeper into the fog, the light gradually dims, and the thick, inky fog envelops you, making you completely lose your sense of time.

"arrive."

The voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo startled Tang Shan from his daze. He subconsciously looked around, but the depths of the mist were chaotic, and his orientation was completely blurred. All that was left in front of him was a vast expanse of white.

"Let's just wait here for it to come to us, no need to go down."

Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke, and then a huge change quietly occurred.

A massive crocodile head materialized atop the head, emanating a terrifying pressure like a collapsing mountain, exuding an astonishing and dreadful aura.

The primordial energy from the vast天地 (heaven and earth) converged wildly, making the hundred-zhang-long crocodile head even more condensed. The dazzling golden scales were like the most solid armor, tightly covering the entire crocodile head.

Roar!

A roar brimming with immense energy suddenly exploded, the rolling sound waves carrying unparalleled shockwaves, rippling through the mist in layers upon layers.

The thick white fog dissipated with a deafening roar under the terrifying sound waves, and the surrounding scenery suddenly opened up.

Only now can Tangshan see the things around him clearly.

He was a hundred meters in the air, looking down at the dense, strange forest that came into view. The twisted branches were like tortured arms, painfully clawing at the sky. Each tree was extremely eerie, as if it were formed from the darkest thoughts in the world.

A thick layer of dead leaves had accumulated beneath the tree, with occasional murky bubbles rising from between the leaves, silently proclaiming that beneath the dead leaves lay a bottomless abyss capable of swallowing a person whole.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack seemed to awaken the slumbering terror of the entire forest, causing all sorts of twisted creatures and eerie plants to reveal themselves, and an atmosphere of grotesque and bizarre horror instantly spread.

Human-faced Spider, Death Bird, Corpse Puppet, Medusa, Human-faced Wolf, Blood Demon Tree, etc.

Every one of these evil soul beasts thrown into the Star Dou Great Forest is a T1-level evil soul beast. Some of them, except for lacking the evil god bloodline of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, can even compete with it for the T0 level.

The spirit beasts were all ferocious and terrifying, bloodthirsty and horrifying. However, faced with the earth-shattering, cloud-shattering roar of the Golden Crocodile Douluo, all they could do was tuck their tails between their legs and flee in panic. No matter how many tricks you have, or how special your talents are, you are ultimately powerless against absolute crushing power.

"Are most of the spirit beasts in this habitat evil spirit beasts?"

Tang Shan couldn't help but gasp, somewhat horrified.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded: "That's right. Apart from a few soul beasts that are powerful and have extraordinary bloodlines, all the soul beasts that can survive in this Death Canyon are evil soul beasts."

"Why doesn't Grandpa Golden Crocodile kill these soul beasts?"

Tang Shan was somewhat puzzled, "If evil spirit masters discover this place, wouldn't it cause a great upheaval?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded approvingly: "It's good that you thought of the evil soul masters. In fact, evil soul masters naturally know about this place, but it's not so easy for them to get in."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's words were filled with a chilling killing intent.

"Once you're in, it's even harder to get out."

Tang Shan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what Golden Crocodile Douluo meant—this Soul Beast Forest was a carefully laid trap by the Spirit Hall for evil soul masters.

The Spirit Hall's scheme was meticulously planned and executed, with each step building upon the last.

The first layer consists of an ambush on the outer perimeter. The heavy guards outside the Death Canyon are enough to instantly kill any weaker evil spirit masters, preventing them from even entering the core area.

The second layer is like catching a turtle in a jar. If a powerful evil spirit master manages to break through the encirclement and enter the canyon, their whereabouts will be immediately monitored and reported by the Spirit Hall. A large number of powerful individuals will quickly surround the exit, waiting for them to escape.

The third level is annihilation. Even if an evil soul master has incredible luck and acquires a soul ring in the canyon, causing their strength to skyrocket, and manages to force their way out with their extraordinary soul skills, they will still face a joint pursuit by the elders of the Spirit Hall. In more serious cases, the elders themselves may intervene, and they might even attract the judgment of the angels, who are specifically designed to counter evil soul spirits…

Beyond that, there's an even deeper layer of scheming.

Some evil spirit masters are extremely secretive, hiding themselves in the crowd unnoticed in ordinary times. They cultivate evil techniques secretly, never causing any major disturbances. These meticulous evil spirit masters are difficult for the Spirit Hall to identify from the vast sea of ​​people. This gathering place of evil spirit beasts is an invisible filter, an unsolvable conspiracy—unless you forever suppress your desire to become stronger and never come here to hunt evil spirit beasts for spirit rings, as long as you dare to set foot here, no matter how low-key or unknown you were before, you will be thoroughly recorded by the Spirit Hall and will have nowhere to hide from then on.

Thinking of this, Tang Shan couldn't help but gasp. This was true shrewdness and meticulous planning; this was true professional strategy.

Shrek Academy students risked their lives to eradicate evil spirit masters across the continent.

The Spirit Hall—We've laid a tight net around the Soul Beast Forest, waiting for evil spirit masters to walk right into it.

The Spirit Hall's method, while not necessarily attracting all the evil spirit masters of the Douluo Continent, will definitely attract the vast majority.

In particular, many so-called evil spirit master geniuses are bound to be on this list of those who have been attracted.

After all, geniuses are proud, so how could they allow their spirit rings to be ordinary? Absorption must be for the best.

Then, a group of top evil spirit master geniuses were successfully killed by the Spirit Hall.

Shrek Academy – Our contributions to the continent far surpass those of the Spirit Hall. After all, we deal with titled opponents, while the Spirit Hall deals with small fry. There's no comparison.

Spirit Hall—Why haven't we encountered any evil spirit masters at the Title Douluo level? That's strange.

……

Roar!

In the distance, an angry roar suddenly rang out. Although the sound was far less shocking than that of Golden Crocodile Douluo, it carried a wild and domineering savageness, piercing through layers of mist and spreading outwards.

"coming."

"Golden Crocodile Douluo said calmly."

Tang Shan snapped out of his daze and looked curiously at the gradually receding mist, quite interested in the mysterious soul beast.

Boom!Boom!

Heavy footsteps came from the depths of the mist. Each step was like an ancient behemoth treading on the earth, the muffled sound clear and distinct, even the air trembled with it.

Tang Shan's expression changed slightly, and his heart pounded heavily with the sound of footsteps—how enormous must one's body be to produce such earth-shattering footsteps?

Click!

For some reason, a series of ancient trees suddenly collapsed in the distance with a loud crash. Despite the absence of any apparent attack, the trees, as hard as steel, seemed to be crushed by an invisible force, breaking and falling silently.

Before anyone knew it, the surroundings had fallen into a deathly silence. The chirping of insects and birds had all disappeared, and only a suffocating sense of terrifying oppression spread like a tide, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Further away, soul beasts were running frantically, their eyes filled with extreme fear, desperately rushing towards the only exit—the two monsters were about to fight again, and they didn't want to become innocent cannon fodder in the aftermath of their battle.

However, this time they were greeted not only by two towering dragon pillars that exuded a majestic aura, but also by a colossal angel with three pairs of holy wings spread out behind him and radiating a holy and luminous aura.

Qian Daoliu looked at the surging tide of soul beasts before him, which resembled a dark tide, and his face revealed an undisguised disgust.

If he had to keep them as bait to lure evil soul masters, he would have already completely purified these annoying soul beasts with a single sword strike.

He freely unleashed his soul power, which was filled with a sacred and awe-inspiring light, and slowly turned his gaze to the depths of the Death Canyon. He whispered with a hint of anticipation, "Has it started yet? That's a Golden Behemoth, and a mutant at that. Tang Shan, don't let me and Xiao Xue down."

Roar!

The roar rang out again.

The sound waves once again shook away the white mist, and the owner of the voice finally appeared in front of Tangshan.

It was a colossal beast of extreme ferocity, standing ten meters tall like an ancient mountain. Its long, golden fur stood up like steel needles, yet it could not conceal the bulging, knotted muscles beneath its skin—every inch of its muscles seemed to be cast from millennia-old black iron, the lines so hard they were almost brutal, and the exaggerated curves were terrifying.

A torrent of bloody vapor billowed from its pores, transforming into visible crimson smoke. Even before it got close, the scorching heat waves swept over it, causing the surrounding air to ripple and twist.

Its eyes were truly bizarre, one blood red and the other pale purple, their gazes shifting between lucid savagery and frenzied bloodlust.

What's most intimidating are its two giant hands, with five sharp claws extending from the palms as thick as millstones, several meters long, their tips gleaming with a cold light, yet exuding a sense of weight that could shake mountains and split rocks, like five giant battle swords.

The claws dragged across the ground at will, slicing through hard rocks like tofu, leaving five deep grooves that reached the knees; occasionally, with an impatient flick, ancient trees as thick as a person's embrace were silently severed by the claws before they could even cry out, the cuts as smooth as if they had been polished.

At the corners of his mouth, two rows of dagger-like fangs were bared in a ferocious manner, their chilling gleam revealing a primal brutality and savage ferocity.

"This is a Behemoth."

Tang Shan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He never expected that Golden Crocodile Douluo would find him such a monster.

The Behemoth's power is in no way inferior to that of the Titans.

One led to the creation of the super soul beast Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, while the other led to the creation of the super soul beasts Titan Giant Ape and Titan Snow Demon Ape.

He finally understood why Golden Crocodile Douluo had been constantly strengthening his physical attributes. Given the incredible power of the Behemoth, especially the Golden Behemoth with its top-tier bloodline, the difficulty of absorbing its spirit rings was unimaginable.

"That's right, it's a Behemoth, and a mutated one at that."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stared intently at the approaching giant beast, his voice filled with solemnity and gravity.

"At that time, what I discovered were the remains of this heavily wounded and sleeping golden Behemoth and Titan, both of which slumbered together in an ancient pit."

How could I miss such a precious soul beast? So I used some methods and invited many healing soul masters to help it recover from its injuries.

However, after it awoke, we quickly discovered a problem—the higher the quality of the soul beast, the more difficult it is to absorb. Given the overwhelming power of this golden Behemoth's soul ring, which was nearly ten thousand years old, it was estimated that at least a quasi-Soul Emperor would be needed to successfully absorb it. But it was rather strange for a Soul Emperor to absorb a thousand-year soul ring, so this soul beast has remained untouched until now.

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at Tang Shan beside him, his words tinged with emotion: "I originally thought that this soul beast would most likely be dealt with by us in the end, since it would take quite a bit of effort to keep an eye on it. But your appearance, Tang Shan, has given me hope that its soul ring can be successfully absorbed."

"Thank you for your help, Senior Golden Crocodile."

Tang Shan, with a solemn expression, respectfully bowed to Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled and said, "There's nothing to thank me for. I have also gained a lot from your teacher's internal martial arts. Without internal martial arts, I would not have been able to break through the bottleneck that had been hindering me for so many years."

This was the first time Tang Shan had heard that Golden Crocodile Douluo's breakthrough to his limit was related to his internal martial arts, which surprised him.

"Therefore, this soul beast is not an investment in you, but rather a return. However, I am serious about hoping that you will assist His Highness well."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a smile.

"Rest assured, Your Highness's help will not be forgotten."

Tangshan's answer came from the heart.

"Alright, now that this guy is here, there's no need to waste any more time."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes narrowed as he watched the approaching Golden Behemoth. His soul power surged, transforming into a giant crocodile paw hundreds of feet long, which he slammed down without hesitation.

Rumble!

Before the crocodile's paw could even land, the violent gust of wind tore the air apart, causing the space to tremble violently like ripples spreading outwards. A terrifying pressure, like the collapsing sky, firmly locked onto the golden behemoth, leaving it no room to dodge.

Facing the enormous crocodile paw descending from the sky, the golden Behemoth roared with a force that could shatter mountains and rivers. Its muscles bulged wildly, and its body swelled up to a size larger. Its originally pale purple eyes were completely consumed by blood red, and a ferocious, mad will swept out like a tsunami. It suddenly raised its giant paw, and its five sharp claws swung out in a sudden attack.

hum!

Tear!

The deafening buzzing of the space was followed by the crisp sound of space being torn apart. Countless dark cracks spread like a spider web, cutting rocks, trees, and mist into dust wherever they passed, which were then swept into the turbulent currents and disappeared without a trace.

boom!
