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

As the sun gradually rose, the morning light pierced through the clouds and fell on the young man. The light flowed slowly along his silhouette, forming a soft rim around him and making his figure exceptionally clear.

The young man slightly raised his head, a bright smile playing on his lips: "Who are we? Didn't you recognize us the moment you saw us?"

Faced with the young man's aggressive gaze, Dai Jie, whose expression had been somber, gradually composed himself and regained his composure.

"I just can't believe someone would actually walk right into my trap." Dai Jie looked the young man up and down and asked casually, "You're from Tangshan, right?"

Tang Shan remained noncommittal: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart? Why ask again? Since you've already recognized me, why go through all this trouble? Are you perhaps afraid of something?"

"Of course not. Whether you are the Sect Master of the Body Sect or Tang Shan, you will perish here today. I just really don't understand, what is your purpose in coming here to intercept us?"

Dai Jie remained cautious, not letting his guard down despite his target appearing before him. After all, the young man before him was too legendary, possessing a terrifying configuration of three purple and one black spirit rings. He had fought against a Spirit Saint when he was a Spirit Master and killed a Spirit Saint when he was a Spirit Sect Master. Such an incredible prodigy must have a profound purpose in his actions and would never act rashly.

"Whatever your purpose is, it's the same as before: to kill you all." Tang Shan's voice wasn't loud, and his tone wasn't high, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of Dai Jie and the three Soul Saints behind him.

"What an arrogant brat! You and this girl beside you think you can challenge us? You're dreaming!"

A Soul Saint with a somewhat impatient temper couldn't help but sneer. However, his words made Dai Jie and Xu Mou's hearts skip a beat simultaneously. Tang Shan's aura was so dazzling that they subconsciously overlooked Gu Yue's presence. Now, thanks to the impatient Soul Saint's unintentional reminder, they realized: Tang Shan was accompanied by a black-haired girl. What was the girl's strength? What was her background? Why was she following Tang Shan?

"Whether it's wishful thinking or not, you'll know once you try it!" Tang Shan didn't waste any more words. He took a step forward, and his blood and qi instantly boiled, gathered, compressed, and exploded!

His chest heaved violently, blood and qi surged rapidly within his body, bones cracked continuously, muscles tightened and bulged layer by layer, fascia was stretched to its limit, torso expanded outward, height steadily increased, body surface temperature rose continuously, and the air around his body was stirred by the power of his flesh. His whole body was like a blazing furnace of blood and qi, with waves of heat rushing towards him.

However, the changes did not stop there. Four spirit rings, three purple and one black, appeared beneath his feet and flashed simultaneously.

First Soul Skill, Self-Control, activated!

His arms swelled and thickened again, with tendons crisscrossing under his skin. His muscle density continued to increase, the power transmission pathways were completely opened, and the acupoints throughout his body were awakened one by one by the blood and qi. The physical strength and explosive power hidden in his body were fully mobilized.

Second Soul Skill, Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, unleash!

The body continued to expand at a constant speed, with the size increase steadily reaching 450%. In just a few breaths, it grew to nine meters tall. The body was stable, and when the limbs moved, they directly compressed the air, creating turbulence and wind pressure.

Third Soul Skill, Bauhinia Origin, Enhanced!

A purple light surged from within his body, covering his entire body and combining with his soul power armor. The power of rules seeped into the cellular level, causing his strength attributes to rise wildly at a fixed rate. His mental power expanded outward, and the precision and range of his perception increased simultaneously. Both his physical body and mind entered a strengthened state.

Fourth Soul Skill: My Will is Heavenly Power, Fusion!

The will sweeps outward from the body as the center, and the invisible intention transforms into gray air currents under the action of the rules, enveloping the whole body. The special power merges with the overwhelming force within the body, which seems to be able to overturn everything, and they become one.

The soul skill was amplified to its full effect. A brilliant silver phantom appeared behind Tang Shan, then turned golden in the next moment before crashing straight into Tang Shan's body.

Gold-level Second Awakening, activated!

This was the first time Tang Shan had used a Gold-level Second Awakening, and the enormous changes it brought were somewhat beyond his expectations.

All attributes increased by 300%, and Soul Skill effects increased by 300%.

Golden power surged into his limbs and bones, his physical structure was reorganized and strengthened once again, his height continued to rise from nine meters, his body expanded layer by layer, his tendons, bones and muscles were strengthened in sync, and finally stabilized at a height of thirty-six meters. His physical strength, power and resilience leaped in sync, and the gray aura around him became even more intense.

Self-control is enhanced, and physical potential is further unleashed.

The power and spirit of the Bauhinia Origin surged once again, and Tang Shan felt that he had never been so close to all things in the world. It was not a unity of heaven and man, but a force that touched all laws, allowing him to touch everything with affinity.

The immense spiritual power seemed to break free from the shackles of the Sea of ​​Spirit, projecting onto reality and forming a hazy, nascent domain. Within this domain, one's own strength amplified, suppressing the spirit of one's opponent.

All changes came to a complete halt. Standing before Dai Jie and his group was a colossal god, thirty-six meters tall, shrouded in gray aura and clad in purple thorn armor, an embodiment of power.

"Now, do I have the right?" The voice boomed like thunder, carrying a terrifying sense of oppression.

Dai Jie's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed as he looked at the Soul Saint behind him, his eyes filled with an unprecedented killing intent: "Let's attack together and not give him any chance to escape or survive!"

After speaking, he suddenly soared into the air, his body rapidly expanding in mid-air, with eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—flashing in succession.

First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier; Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation; Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Demon God Transformation; Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body!

His body changed rapidly in mid-air, and the terrifying fluctuations of his soul power surged like a turbulent river, creating ripples in the air.

Roar!

A tiger's roar shook the heavens and the earth, the sound waves spreading outward in a ring, bending the grass and trees, making the sand and stones jump, the sound waves penetrating the mountains and forests, reaching the city walls of Xingluo City, the air was shaken out with visible ripples, and a fierce aura swept in all directions.

The tiger's fur was as white as frost, with clear patterns. It had strong bones and muscles, was fifty meters long and eighteen meters tall. Its limbs were muscular and taut, and its claws and teeth were sharp and menacing.

"Attack together!" the three Soul Saints roared, leaping high into the air simultaneously, unleashing their full power without hesitation. However, a calm voice rang in their ears at the same time, devoid of any emotion: "Your opponent is me."

Before anyone knew it, Gu Yue had arrived near the three of them, and his terrifying dragon might swept down relentlessly towards the three Soul Saints before him.

Xu Mou and the Impatient Soul Saint merely grunted, their airborne bodies slightly descending. However, the other Soul Master with the Martial Soul of the Dragon Speed ​​was in for a terrible surprise. As soon as Gu Yue's Silver Dragon King bloodline suppressed him, it was as if he had encountered a natural ruler. His soul power sluggished, his fighting spirit greatly diminished, and he fell straight from the air, collapsing to the ground.

The most outrageous thing was that, whether it was a coincidence or the instinct of the martial soul bloodline in his body, the Soul Saint landed on the ground with both knees on the ground, facing Gu Yue, and the scene became awkward for a moment.

The giant tiger and the giant, who were facing off, couldn't help but shift their attention to the battlefield next door. The plot development was just too unexpected.

"Long Fei, what are you doing? Surrendering before the fight even starts, what do you mean by that!" The giant tiger spoke in human language, its voice like thunder, exploding across the sky. Even though the tiger's face was obscured by the activation of its Martial Soul True Body, Xu Mou could still sense the overwhelming rage emanating from its voice.

Seeing the bizarre situation of the other party lying prostrate on the ground, Xu Mou's lips curled slightly, and he already knew what was going on.

That was bloodline suppression. Bloodline suppression, which should have appeared 20,000 years later, appeared prematurely in the Douluo Continent under the influence of Gu Yue.

That Soul Saint was really unlucky. Of all the martial souls, he had to choose a dragon-type martial soul. Now that he's encountered the Silver Dragon King himself, he's completely lost his fighting ability.

In the original story, Tang Wulin, with his mixed bloodline, could easily suppress top-tier dragon-type martial souls by opening one or two seals and absorbing only a portion of the Golden Dragon King's essence, let alone with Gu Yue in her complete form present. Even if she is currently rebuilding her cultivation, her suppressive power is absolutely not something Tang Wulin can easily match.

The Soul Saint named Long Fei had no words to express his bitterness. He truly didn't want to surrender, but his body, bloodline, and even his martial soul wouldn't allow it—Brain: I must continue fighting and kill this little girl! Body: No, you don't want to. You should be loyal. Martial Soul: That's right. You should maintain due respect for the Silver Dragon King, not resist and rebel.

"I didn't expect that you people of the Star Luo Empire are so spineless. It's quite surprising." Although Tang Shan knew what was going on, he certainly wouldn't explain it to the enemy. He just took this opportunity to mock them without any politeness.

"Xu Mou, Xiong San, go and take care of that little girl as soon as possible." Dai Jie ignored Tang Shan's taunts. After giving the order, Tiger Head turned back and stared at Tang Shan, his huge tiger eyes flashing with ferocity. "Kid, don't be too arrogant. The strength of Soul Douluos is much greater than you think. Even without their assistance, your fate is already sealed."

If a person is 36 meters tall, how big would his fist be? Tangshan can give the answer now - the fist is about 1.8 meters long, about 0.85 meters wide, and about 1.2 meters thick.

His enormous fist slowly clenched, and a ferocious yet excited smile appeared on his lips: "True strength isn't something you can just talk about, it's something you can prove with your fighting skills."

The next moment, all his strength was concentrated in his lower limbs. He pushed off the ground with both legs, and the ground sank down with a bang. The sound barrier was broken in an instant. His 36-meter-tall body transformed into a huge black shadow. With unparalleled momentum, he charged towards the white tiger at full speed. His right fist was already clenched, and his already thick arm expanded further, with power surging within it.

Chapter 340 Two Battlefields

Whizzing!

Two agile figures darted swiftly through the forest, lightly touching the ground with their toes to propel themselves upwards. They quickly climbed up the steep slope of the mountain, and once at the top, they crouched low and plunged down the slope at high speed. Their bodies twisted and turned among the trees, and in just a few breaths, they had sped from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain.

"Zhuqing, it'll be soon. We'll be on the official road soon. Once we re-enter Xingluo City, we'll have a complex internal structure. We can then exit through another city gate and shake off our pursuers."

Zhu Zhuyun held Zhu Zhuqing's small hand and moved forward quickly. Zhu Qinggao, who was chasing behind them, was still quite a distance away. As long as they could break into Xingluo City before that, the crisis could be temporarily eliminated.

At this thought, a deep sense of regret flashed through Zhu Zhuyun's mind. She never imagined that an old servant who had shown mercy would possess such a terrifying sense of smell and tracking ability. If only she had been ruthless back then...

Zhu Zhuyun herself wasn't sure if she would still show mercy if given the chance to choose again.

Boom!

The loud crash caused Zhu Zhuyun, who had just reached the edge of the woods, to change her expression drastically. She immediately pulled Zhu Zhuqing into her arms and dodged behind a large tree. This was purely an instinctive reaction to the pursuit she had been undergoing recently.

After a while, Zhu Zhuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the violent collision did not affect their location.

She was about to peek out to see what was going on when she was suddenly slapped repeatedly by Zhu Zhuqing in her arms.

Zhu Zhuyun was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked down. Suddenly realizing what was happening, she quickly let go of her arms that were holding her younger sister.

In the heat of the moment, she grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and pulled her away. Because the movement was sudden and unexpected, Zhu Zhuqing fell headfirst into her broad chest. She held her very tightly, almost sending Zhu Zhuqing flying with a sudden, unexpected hug.

call!

Unbound, Zhu Zhuqing gasped for breath, her face flushed, not from embarrassment, but from being suffocated and hot.

"What happened to you? I almost suffocated." Clearly, the experience had left a huge psychological scar on the girl, who, who was usually quiet, protested for the first time.

"Don't worry, Zhuqing, you'll definitely be around the same size as me in the future. That's your talent, and it's also your capital," Zhu Zhuyun said without any hesitation.

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to retort, but when she looked down, she saw her toes were barely visible, and the words she was about to say were swallowed back down.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. Don't forget, we're being chased. Let's see what's going on ahead, okay..." Zhu Zhuyun used a large tree as cover, carefully observing what was ahead. Her words of advice abruptly stopped when she saw the scene before her.

……

At this moment, Dai Lingtian was inspecting the army in the west of Xingluo City when a soldier with a panicked expression rushed over, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Majesty, something has happened! Soldiers in the east of the city saw two Soul Masters fighting outside the city. One of the Soul Masters has a White Tiger Martial Soul and has already used his Martial Soul True Body to fight against a giant. The commotion is quite significant."

“White Tiger Martial Soul True Form!” Dai Lingtian’s brows furrowed immediately. Currently, there is only one person whose Martial Soul is the White Tiger and who is not in Star Luo City. That person is his royal uncle, Dai Jie, the fourth elder of the Star Luo Empire.

The other party was his father's cousin. There was no struggle for the throne. He was trained because of his excellent talent and later became a member of the Imperial Palace.

What kind of enemy could make the Imperial Uncle, who had already reached the level of a Soul Douluo, activate his Martial Soul True Body to deal with it? Recalling the giant reported by the soldier earlier, an incredible guess surged into Dai Lingtian's mind.

His eyes flashed with a cold light as he instructed the old eunuch beside him, "Go and summon the rest of the retainers. I'll go to the city wall to see what's going on. Tell them to come quickly. This is the order."

With a flick of his sleeve, Dai Lingtian planted an ancient-looking token into the ground. He then took to the air and flew rapidly toward the eastern city wall.

As the Star Luo Emperor, he is now a level 79 Soul Saint, only one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo, so flying is naturally not a problem for him.

Soon, he reached the top of the city wall on the east side and fell straight down from the sky. Some of the panicked soldiers saw His Majesty descending from the sky and knelt down on one knee to pay their respects: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Dai Lingtian didn't pay any attention to the soldiers. Instead, he stared intently at the distant battlefield, his eyes filled with murderous intent: It really is you, Tang Shan!

……

What does a 36-meter giant mean? It's equivalent to a 12-story building.

Moreover, while the tall buildings are stationary, Tangshan is moving, and moving at supersonic speeds at that. The sense of oppression is simply unparalleled.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

With each step Tangshan took, a terrifying crater several meters in diameter and a meter deep was created. The earth shook violently, and rubble and dust billowed into the sky. Even though the dust was thick, it barely reached above Tangshan's thigh.

"Come and fight!" Tang Shan roared, and the clouds seemed to scatter. A huge fist descended from the sky and slammed down. The wind from the fist tore through the air, and shockwaves spread out in circles from behind the elbow, sweeping in all directions.

Roar!

With a roar, the giant tiger that Dai Jie had transformed into shattered the ground with its four limbs. In an instant, its massive body turned into a streak of white light, carrying the momentum to shatter mountains, and went straight to meet Tang Shan's downward punch.

Boom!

The tiger's paw and fist collided in mid-air, creating a deafening roar that echoed across the sky. The shockwave swept across the surroundings, snapping many trees in the process.

Tang Shan felt a powerful force coming from his fist, and his body was forced backward uncontrollably. With each step he took, a deep pit was created in the hard ground, and gravel flew everywhere.

Card wipe!

The wide official road at the foot of Tangshan was no different from a biscuit; as soon as you stepped on it, the road surface crumbled and broke, with cracks spreading wildly to both sides.

Fortunately, although Tang Shan suffered a considerable loss, his own strength was enough to barely stop Dai Jie's movements. Otherwise, if he had launched an attack while Tang Shan was still unsteady, it would have been quite troublesome.

"White Tiger Meteor Shower!" Dai Jie roared, and enormous orbs of light condensed around him, terrifying energy fluctuations brewing within. Hundreds of these energy orbs coalesced and rained down on Tang Shan, who had just regained his footing. Not only that, he opened his tiger's mouth wide, unleashing a white tiger-shaped beam of light a meter in diameter, the scorching air churning as it slammed into Tang Shan's chest.

Unleash the Behemoth Claws!

The liquid soul power flowed directly into his right palm. Tang Shan waved his hand lightly, and five streaks of light pierced the sky. A dark spatial rift flashed by, forcibly severing the oncoming attack.
