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

Gu Yue's brows furrowed instantly, her martial spirit manifesting, silver scales covering her entire body, and a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

A sharp glint flashed in Tang Shan's eyes, and his fist, without pausing, struck the human-faced spider's abdomen directly.

Pfft!

Without breaking or hesitating, the enormous iron fist pierced straight through the body of the human-faced spider, splattering bodily fluids everywhere.

If that person had spoken politely, Tang Shan wouldn't have been unreasonable, and he could have easily backed down. However, the other person's words carried a clear sonic vibration. Since you are unkind, don't blame Tang Shan for being unjust.

Slowly withdrawing his fist from the human-faced spider's body, Tang Shan looked calmly at the three figures in the distant treetops.

The power of the elements surged, and an invisible torrent gathered around Gu Yue. Her silver eyes shone with a hint of color as she walked to Tang Shan's side, also gazing at the three people in the treetop.

Leading the group was a robust old man dressed in a simple robe, holding a dragon-headed cane. An invisible aura emanated from him. At this moment, the old man was looking at Gu Yue with greedy eyes, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

Behind the old man were an old woman and a girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. The two of them were staring at Gu Yue with surprise and doubt in their eyes.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?" The first to break the silence was the elder in the lead, whose voice was loud and clear, and also contained the overwhelming pressure of a Soul Douluo-level figure.

"Sorry, my strength control isn't great, it's really hard to stop." Tang Shan shook his thick arm, easily shaking off the human-faced demon spider fluid from his hand thanks to his unparalleled control over his strength, and replied nonchalantly.

He already knew the identities of the three people before him. If they behaved themselves, he would naturally let it go. But if they had other ideas, he wouldn't hesitate to use ruthless methods. He wasn't strong enough against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but this time, with only one Soul Saint and one Soul Douluo, dealing with them would be a piece of cake.

"Hmph! I think you're doing this on purpose, junior. Judging from your extraordinary strength, your background must be quite impressive. Where are your elders? Let them come out and talk to me."

Xiong Jun, who was secretly observing everything, wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. If you can't even handle that kid named Tang Shan, do you want to die sooner?

With her arms crossed over her chest, Brigitte observed the human who was courting death with great interest. She was not weak, but she was not a saint. She had actually dared to offend her master and their soul beast mistress, which meant she was asking for death.

"I have no elders?" Tang Shan shook his head, his tone completely frank. "My subordinates' subordinates aren't my subordinates. What does Gu Yue's nominal elders have to do with me, right? Besides, strictly speaking, Xiong Jun and Bi Ji should be considered Gu Yue's subordinates, so they have even less to do with me."

The old man holding the dragon-headed cane was somewhat suspicious. He released his spiritual energy, trying to find any clues, but to no avail. What a joke! Even Xiong Jun, whose spiritual energy was the lowest on Tangshan's side, had already reached the Spirit Abyss Realm. How could a mere Soul Douluo like him possibly discover anything?

After searching for a while, the old man seemed to be certain that there were no powerful figures hiding in the shadows. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind.

"I am Meng Shu, junior! You hunted our soul beast, what do you have to say? Shouldn't you give an explanation?" The voice was old and powerful, carrying a terrifying soul power pressure. If it were an ordinary soul king, he would probably be terrified and beg for mercy long ago. Unfortunately, he had met Tang Shan today.

Sure enough, the peerless dragon and snake duo? After seeing the human-faced spider, the old man holding the dragon-headed cane, and the old woman with the snake-headed cane, Tang Shan already knew their identities.

Tang Shan's gaze lingered on the human-faced spider for a moment, but he didn't find any other wounds. A mocking smile appeared on his lips. "So it's Senior Long Gong Meng Shu. My apologies. But why don't I see any other wounds on this human-faced spider? Senior's words seem a bit inappropriate."

"Grandpa?" Meng Yiran, standing next to Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, couldn't help but call out softly, clearly sensing that the atmosphere was slightly off.

"Yiran, don't say anything. Let your grandfather handle this." Chao Tianxiang stared intently at Gu Yue. She already understood what her husband wanted to do. The throbbing of his martial soul had already explained everything. She didn't know if this would be their family's only chance.

Compared to the human-faced spider that was attacked in the original story, this human-faced spider that Tang Shan just casually killed had no other wounds on its body, indicating that Meng Shu was making trouble out of nothing.

Faced with Tang Shan's words, which were both soft and firm, Meng Shu was not angry. He stroked his beard with his left hand and said meaningfully, "We have been keeping an eye on this human-faced demon spider for a long time, but it escaped too quickly and we didn't have time to react. This soul beast is very suitable for my granddaughter. You can kill it now, and I will ask you for an explanation. No problem."

A Soul Douluo couldn't keep an eye on a thousand-year-old Soul Beast? Faced with Meng Shu's utterly absurd reason, Tang Shan calmly replied, "Then what kind of explanation does Senior Meng Shu want?"

"It's not difficult, kid. Just cripple your cultivation and have that little girl beside you become my disciple." Meng Shu finally revealed his true colors.

"Old man, what do you want to do?" Tang Shan said, his eyes flashing with malice, each word distinct and deliberate.

Seeing the murderous intent in Tang Shan's eyes, Meng Shu revealed a mocking smile: "What do I want to do? Nothing much, I just have my eye on the girl's bloodline. Don't worry, I'm too old for such a beauty. Besides, I have a son who is still unmarried. Wouldn't it be wonderful to take him in as a disciple and marry him?"

Meng Yiran's eyes widened. Her grandfather's words shattered her worldview. She knew that one of her uncles was indeed unmarried, but even if he were to marry, he shouldn't do it like this. As for the stirring of his martial soul, what's the big deal?

Tang Shan suddenly calmed down, forcibly suppressing the surging rage and killing intent within him. His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion: "I must remind you, senior, that I have dealings with His Majesty Dugu of Tiandou City. If you act recklessly, be careful not to bring disaster upon your family." This was his final advice and warning. If Meng Shu continued to court death, he, Tang Shan, would not hesitate to show no mercy.

"Hmph! The weakest Title Douluo on the continent, what is there to fear? If you're so capable, let Haotian come!"

Meng Shu's words were extremely arrogant, showing that he didn't take Dugu Bo seriously at all. It makes sense, considering that he could fight a regular Title Douluo to a draw with his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so he naturally wouldn't take the title disgrace Poison Douluo seriously.

To be honest, Tangshan was initially puzzled by the Dragon Palace Snake Woman's actions. Even if it was because of the Gu Yue bloodline, there was no need for her to be so arrogant.

However, considering the other party's behavior in the original work, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand.

Chapter 410 Devastating Victory

Even without Meng Shu by her side, Chao Tianxiang dared to bully others. Later, when the Human-Faced Demon Spider was hunted down, Meng Shu wanted to take action. If he hadn't been intimidated by the name of Haotian Douluo, the Shrek Academy group might have perished on the spot.

Their reckless behavior and previous actions are not surprising. As the saying goes, "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable!" Since they are actively seeking death, Tangshan doesn't mind sending them on their way.

"I advise you to stop now, senior. Otherwise, the price you pay in the end will be unimaginable." Tang Shan's tone was completely calm, as if he were recounting something perfectly ordinary.

"Price, heh, what a boastful tone. I'd like to see what kind of price you can expect." Meng Shu sneered, soaring into the air. His dragon-headed cane emitted a dazzling light, and a terrifying aura swept towards Tang Shan and Gu Yue. His soul power surged, rapidly closing the distance between him and Tang Shan.

"Yiran, you stay here and don't move. Grandma will be right back." Chaotianxiang gently instructed, then lightly tapped her dragon-headed cane, leaped more than ten meters, and swiftly darted between the trees, closely following behind Meng Shu.

"One for each of them?" Faced with the sudden attack from the two, Tang Shan was not flustered at all. He looked at Gu Yue beside him and asked softly.

“Alright!” Gu Yue nodded gently in agreement. Then, she raised her head and let out a loud dragon roar, powerful and clear. The blood pressure from the Silver Dragon King erupted unrestrainedly, not only instantly shattering Meng Shu’s pressure, but also suppressing the two of them in turn.

Those who possess dragon-related spirits in Douluo Continent III know all too well what it feels like to be suppressed by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. If this is the case with the incomplete Golden Dragon King, what about the suppression from the complete, unreserved Silver Dragon King's bloodline?

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang felt an overwhelming sense of fear and submission originating from their martial souls erupt instantly. Their surging soul power weakened in the next instant, and their auras declined one after another. Meng Shu, who was flying through the air, crashed directly to the ground.

boom!

Tang Shan stomped his feet heavily on the ground, his body suddenly lunging forward. His internal energy surged to its limit like a raging river, his skin taut and bulging, his muscles bulging and angular all over his body.

Whoosh!

His blood and qi surged and roared like rivers within his body, his bones and joints emitted a series of dense and crisp popping sounds, and his skin, flesh, tendons, and bones expanded rapidly as if inflated. During the rapid movement, Tangshan had transformed into a muscular giant with a height of 2.2 meters and a majestic and imposing physique.

"You've got some skill! But kid, you underestimate a Soul Douluo. How could the chasm of cultivation be so easily crossed!" Meng Shu, who had just crashed to the ground, saw Tang Shan charging towards him like an ancient ferocious beast. A sense of crisis arose in his heart. He snorted coldly and activated his seventh soul ring without hesitation. Starting with a powerful move was a sign of caution.

hum!

The old man vanished, and accompanied by a burst of light, a ferocious dragon over forty meters long appeared before Tang Shan.

Among weapon spirits, there is a very special type of spirit. This type of spirit is usually a combination of weapon and beast. When activating the spirit's true form, one can choose between the beast spirit true form and the weapon spirit true form, with extraordinary effects.

Among the more representative examples are the Panlong Staff, the Serpent Spear, and the Dragon Staff and Serpent Staff in front of Tangshan.

"You reacted quickly, but it's a pity you didn't use your Martial Soul Fusion Skill immediately. The outcome was already decided." Tang Shan glanced at Chaotianxiang, who was being manipulated by Gu Yue, and sneered. He released his own Soul Ring without hesitation and went all out from the start.

hum!

Black, black, purple, black, black!

Five spirit rings appeared, and Tang Shan's aura rose further. He activated his second spirit skill, "Imagine Heaven and Earth," and his body grew longer in the wind!

The solid, heavy silver phantom merged directly into Tang Shan's body, triggering the second awakening of his Silver-level Martial Soul!

As Tangshan's soul power level increased, the basic increase in body size from the soul skill "Dharma Image Heaven and Earth" reached 600%. With the all-round doubling increase from the Silver-level second awakening, the increase in body size reached 1200%.

A shimmering amethyst radiance flowed and spread, covering Tang Shan's swollen body. Under the gaze of the evil dragon that Meng Shu had transformed into, Tang Shan grew into a towering giant, twenty-four meters tall, clad in solid, heavy amethyst armor, his imposing presence shaking the heavens.

"You are Tang Shan!" How could Meng Shu not know such a distinctive soul skill? Whether it was the previous arena battle with Zhao Wuji or the head-on attack on the Star Luo Soul Douluo in front of Star Luo City, Tang Shan's terrifying physique had left an extremely deep impression. His rapidly expanding body had long become Tang Shan's most representative feature.

"What do you think?" Tang Shan's lips curled into a cruel smile. He activated his third soul skill, Purple Crystal Origin, and his strength and mental power were fully amplified. His aura surged like a tidal wave!

"Old woman, come quick!" Meng Shu finally realized that disaster was imminent, but it was too late.

hum!

Barely dodging Gu Yue's elemental attack, Chao Tianxiang, wielding her snake staff, suddenly slammed it into the ground, attempting to approach Meng Shu.

"Spatial Cage!" The voice was clear and ethereal, like a divine judgment. The power of space surged, and Gu Yue raised her fair hand. An invisible barrier condensed out of thin air, dividing Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang into two distinct battlefields.

boom!

The aged body was completely unaware of the barrier's formation. As Chaotianxiang sped along, everything went black before her eyes, followed by a series of cracking sounds from bones.

She had unleashed incredible speed in her escape, and when she was caught off guard by the obstacle, she crashed straight into the spatial barrier. The violent recoil exploded, shattering and cracking many of her bones.

"Old woman!" Meng Shu roared angrily, his heart aching terribly. She was his wife, with whom he had spent every day. How could he not worry when he saw her suffering such a wound?

"Old man, you'd better take care of yourself first. You'll be reunited soon!" Tang Shan, now a giant, stomped his foot on the earth, sending dust and debris swirling through the air. In an instant, he was right in front of the evil dragon that Meng Shu had transformed into. His massive, mountain-like fist, accompanied by a gust of wind, crashed down, aiming straight for the long dragon's body. The air exploded, the sound barrier collapsed, and the surrounding trees shook violently.

Roar!

Meng Shu remained unmoved, his dragon mouth wide open, unleashing a scorching and violent energy breath that clashed head-on with Tang Shan's heavy punch, carrying the power to burn the sky.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed across the land, the primordial energy of heaven and earth was stirred up and churned by the aftershocks of the collision, and layers of air waves carrying broken stones and wood swept around, causing the earth to tremble.

Despite the direct impact, Tang Shan's punch only paused slightly, its power undiminished, before finally slamming heavily into Meng Shu's dragon-like body.

boom!

The enormous dragon body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into towering ancient trees along the way. Soul power fragments scattered everywhere, which were the parts of the martial soul's true body that had been shattered and disintegrated by the Tangshan's immense power.

As the saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane with each attempt, and exhaust it with each strike." Tang Shan, seizing the opportunity, pressed on relentlessly, his movements fluid and his fists flying incessantly. He relentlessly attacked Meng Shu, giving him no chance to breathe, his attacks ruthless and merciless.

Chapter 411 We Meet Again

With his body leaping high into the air, reaching heights of tens of meters, Tang Shan was as tall as the ancient tombs that had stood for hundreds of years. Tang Shan, carrying immense power descending from the sky, slammed his elbow into the dragon head that Meng Shu had transformed into. The dragon head tilted back, raised its massive foot, and slammed it down. The dragon tail was instantly crushed by Tang Shan's foot, a truly ferocious act.

Roar!

Meng Shu roared in resentment, wanting to fight back, but the disparity in strength was too great. Facing Tang Shan, whose power was domineering and tyrannical to the extreme, he could only retreat one after another.

"Tangshan, I was wrong. I'm willing to apologize. Just tell me what price you want to pay!" Meng Shu finally realized the consequences of not begging for mercy and shouted loudly during Tangshan's pause for breath. He even dropped the self-reference of "this old man" and became "I." This shows how much psychological trauma Tangshan had caused him in such a short time, and how his spirit had been completely crushed.

Tang Shan remained silent, only throwing punches. Wherever the two passed, trees were broken, slopes collapsed, and even small streams were diverted.

"Little girl, it was indeed our fault. We are willing to offer a soul bone as a price to express our apology." The snake woman, who had just spat out a mouthful of blood, also realized that they had met their match this time. She didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. While struggling to survive under Gu Yue's continuous elemental attacks, she kept begging for mercy.

Gu Yue remained silent, only continuing her attack. Various elements seemed to form a vast ocean, layer upon layer, wave after wave, gradually engulfing Chaotianxiang.

"Boy, you forced me to do this. Watch my eighth soul skill..." A ruthless glint flashed in Meng Shulong's eyes. The eighth soul ring coiled around his dragon body was about to flash when Tang Shan clenched his fists, formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and his will suddenly erupted.

The terrifying atmosphere unfolded instantly. Meng Shu, who had not grasped any willpower and whose spiritual power was mediocre, felt a darkness before his eyes, as if he had turned into a mindless, hazy chaos.

Fourth Soul Skill, I Suppress Heavenly Power, activated! Suppression transforms into streams of gray energy that swirl around Tang Shan's entire body, then converges into the hand seals. The hand seals flip, and the three elements of blood, spirit, and soul power mix together, condensing into an ancient and ethereal great axe.

Boom!

A hundred-foot-long axe beam swept out, and Meng Shu, who was infected by the Tangshan artistic conception, felt as if an ancient demon god, as if the embodiment of power, had suddenly appeared and was fiercely chopping down at him with an axe. When his consciousness returned, the gray axe beam was already in front of him.

Click!

Countless cracks appeared on the agile dragon body. Before Meng Shu could react, his Martial Soul True Body shattered into countless points of light.

The Martial Soul True Body was forcibly broken, and the backlash surged forth. Meng Shu, who had appeared in the air, spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned ashen, his vision went black, and his body fell limply to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The massive ice blade, imbued with an extremely dense wind element, sliced ​​through the air. Under Gu Yue's fierce attack, Chao Tianxiang's serpent staff was split in two. The ice blade continued its momentum, striking the old woman's body directly and sending her flying. Under Gu Yue's exquisite elemental control, she landed right next to Meng Shu, leaving a shallow chasm in its wake.

At this moment, both of their martial souls were shattered, and even though they were close at hand, they could not use the martial soul fusion technique. It can be said that they not only killed the person but also destroyed their spirit.

Before Tang Shan could react, Gu Yue pulled out a set of clothes, and with a flash of silver light, teleported them directly onto Tang Shan's body.

Tangshan fell silent: Is this how you use spatial power? And to teleport clothes directly onto someone else's body, isn't this kind of manipulation a bit unfair? Shouldn't you try to cover it up?
