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

On the lakeside, two figures, one tall and one short, were exchanging words. Their imposing aura naturally emanated from them, causing the surrounding soul beasts to dare not take a single step forward.

The smaller one is a rabbit, with fluffy pinkish-white fur that makes it look quite cute. Its limbs are well-coordinated, its ears are long and playful, and its two ruby-like eyes exude a fatal attraction. The whole rabbit seems to gather the beauty of heaven and earth, and is exceptionally lovely, of course, provided that you disregard its two-meter-tall size.

The largest of the soul beasts was a giant ape, standing thirty meters tall. Its limbs were like pillars supporting the sky, and its thick fur could not conceal the powerful muscles beneath. Its ape paws were the size of millstones, with sharp claws that left extremely deep marks with a simple swipe across the ground. Even when it sat there without moving, an aura of pressure as powerful as a mountain emanated from its body.

"Erming, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I'm going to the human world, transform into a human, and avenge my mother."

The giant pinkish-white rabbit spoke in human language, speaking earnestly.

The giant ape's voice, as large as a mountain, was like muffled thunder, yet it contained a hint of pleading.

"Sister Xiaowu, why are you doing this? With the resources of the Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Star Dou, you can break through the Heavenly Tribulation of 200,000 years. By then, that human will have long since died of old age."

These two 100,000-year-old soul beasts are none other than Xiao Wu and her younger brother Er Ming, who had not yet taken human form in the first era of Dou Yi.

"No, letting her die of old age is too easy for her. I must take revenge myself."

Little Rabbit's face revealed deep hatred, and two red beams shot out from her ruby-like eyes.

"If all else fails, we'll go with you. That human's faction should be the strongest among humans. They're just two Title Douluos, right? Including that woman, that's only three Title Douluos. We can easily take them down and kill them without any problem."

A massive bull's head rose from the Lake of Life, and a voice, brimming with confidence, emanated from its mouth.

"Yes, yes, Sister Xiaowu, I sent some disciples to inquire around the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest. That person should be a Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall. Why don't we just attack the Spirit Hall, kill your enemy, and then come back?"

"If you're still not satisfied, I heard there's some kind of shrine above the Spirit Hall, supposedly where the remains of past Title Douluos are buried. We can tear that shrine down too."

Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes, somewhat puzzled: "Why is it that my rabbit grandson seems to be inquiring about the Douluo Palace, which enshrines the titled Douluo?"

"Who cares if it's the Douluo Hall or the Hall of Worship, let's just tear it all down."

As Da Ming finished speaking in the water, a deadly sense of crisis flashed by. He suddenly looked up and around, but found nothing.

"Da Ming, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu asked with some confusion.

"Just now I had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen, as if I was being watched by some extremely terrifying creature."

"Da Ming, are you still half asleep? We are the strongest in the Star Dou Great Forest, how could there be an existence stronger than us?"

Xiao Wu's words made Daming seriously doubt himself. Was I really just sleepy and overthinking things?

"Alright, my mind is made up. Da Ming, Er Ming, you don't need to persuade me anymore. As long as I'm careful, I'll definitely be able to grow into a Title Douluo and avenge my mother. You two don't need to say anything and just go get revenge. I'll take my revenge myself. I haven't seen the human world yet, so I want to go and explore it."

"Alright then, Sister Xiaowu, please be careful and remember to come back and visit us often."

The Titan Ape Erming's voice was filled with reluctance.

"Don't worry, there's still plenty of time. My instincts tell me that the best time to transform is in four or five years. I'll need you all to protect me then. As for going out into the world, it's impossible to encounter a Title Douluo right away. I've cultivated for 100,000 years, so my luck isn't that bad."

Okay, that's all for now. While wandering in the forest earlier, I found a really cute little rabbit. It seems to be from the Lightning Rabbit family. I'm going to go play with it.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu's figure flickered and disappeared into thin air beside the Lake of Life.

creak creak!

The hard soil and rocks were crushed into dust in the giant ape's paws, falling with a soft rustling sound from the Titan Ape's hands.

The Azure Bull Python, Daming, glanced at his younger brother and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey! Erming, think positively. We're not rabbits, are we? Think about it, with your size, do you think Xiaowu can handle it?"

"I'm just not happy about it. That's Xiao Wu! What right do those rabbits have?"

Erming's voice was filled with barely suppressed rage, his eyes were bloodshot, revealing a strong killing intent.

"Don't think too much about it. Given our relationship with Xiao Wu, if it weren't for the fact that our body types don't allow it, Xiao Wu would definitely be willing. Ultimately, it's our own problem."

As he spoke, the enormous bull's head silently disappeared into the water.

Unbeknownst to the two beasts, three figures were standing among the branches above their heads.

At the very front was a young girl who looked to be only about twelve years old. Her brilliant silver hair cascaded down to her hips, and her large, amethyst-like eyes were calm yet seemed to hold profound wisdom.

The fluctuations of the elements undulated in her eyes, containing an aura of majesty.

With skin as white as snow and a slender, upright figure, she resembled a green bamboo under the moon, or a spirit of heaven and earth reincarnated. Although young, her future brilliance was already foreshadowed.

Her face was flawless, like a work of art meticulously sculpted by the heavens. Her beauty was so stunning that it could topple kingdoms and cities; the phrase "a beauty that brings ruin" was insufficient to describe even a fraction of her allure.

The girl held a "big cat" in her arms. Its entire body was covered with a layer of golden fur, like leaping flames. Its body was like a lion, with a slightly long mouth. Its feet were on flames, like a Qilin. On its forehead was a vertical pupil that was rose gold, and the invisible trajectory of fate flowed within it.

Behind the man and the beast stood a middle-aged man with long, jet-black hair that reached his waist. He was burly, with sharp eyes and an aura of dominance. His golden eyes emanated an invisible dragon's might as well. A tuft of golden hair on his forehead further accentuated his strong and handsome appearance.

They witnessed the entire conversation between the three soul beasts below. Several times, the large cat in the girl's arms tried to speak, and the middle-aged man behind her raised his hand several times, but the silver-haired girl stopped him each time.

"My lady, why did you let this rabbit go out? The Soft Bone Rabbit smells so good. A 100,000-year-old one must be delicious. If it transforms into a human, it won't be able to be eaten."

Seeing the mother rabbit walk away, the big cat in the girl's arms finally couldn't help but speak. Her voice was like the song of a nightingale, clear and melodious, and one could hear a distinct sense of resentment in it.

"Yes, my lord, that mixed-blood python also wants to attack the Hall of Worship in the human world. If we let him do that, we'll be in big trouble. Why didn't you let me kill those two good-for-nothings just now?"

The middle-aged man with black hair behind the girl was also clearly puzzled.

The silver-haired girl looked at the two rabbits fighting fiercely in the distance, her eyes showing obvious resistance. Her voice was ethereal and faint, as if devoid of any emotion.

"My awakening this time was not an accident. A few years ago, I felt a divine power fall from the sky into our Star Dou Great Forest. This sudden divine power was the reason that woke me up. After my investigation, I found that the divine power was in the spiritual sea of ​​that little rabbit."

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I forcibly distorted their consciousness with my mental power, making them believe that they were the strongest beings in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The black-haired man behind him suddenly realized: "No wonder you told us to shrink the core area and not to move around for a while. It turns out you were guarding against those traitors in the sky."

"What a pity, a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, there should only be one left in the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

The golden cat looked a little regretful. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked excitedly, "By the way, I remember Uncle Bear killed a 100,000-year-old rabbit before. I wonder if there's any rabbit meat left?"

As she spoke, she unconsciously began to wriggle in the silver-haired girl's arms.

The silver-haired girl frowned and expertly stroked the neck and belly of the golden "big cat."

"No, no, my sister, no, stop..."

The golden "big cat" was clearly feeling extremely comfortable and immediately stopped moving around. It was just unclear whether she meant "no" or "don't stop."

“Auspicious beasts should be respectful to their lord.”

The middle-aged man with black hair couldn't help but reprimand the auspicious beast for its unruly behavior.

"Uncle Emperor, I... I was very polite to Sister Lord?"

The mythical beast was still hopelessly addicted to being petted, while the silver dragon seemed to have also found joy in petting the cat, its hands showing no sign of stopping.

Di Tian fell silent. Calling the Lord "sister" and him "uncle"—wasn't his seniority a bit too high? Wasn't that inappropriate?

"My lady, I'm so bored in the core area. Can I go for a walk around the outer area?"

After the silver-haired girl stopped what she was doing, the golden "big cat" asked her breathlessly.

"No, the Lord has said that it's best to stay in the core area during this time. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone."

Di Tian objected without hesitation, but the Imperial Beast completely ignored him and looked pitifully at the silver-haired girl.

The silver-haired girl remained expressionless, whether out of excessive indifference or pure naiveté, it was hard to tell. She thought for a moment, tilted her head, and then looked at the middle-aged man behind her.

"Di Tian, ​​you should go back first. I'm going into a deep sleep soon, so while I'm still awake, I can take the auspicious beast out for some fun."

Seeing that even his master had spoken in this way, Di Tian had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, let's do some disguise, otherwise we'll be too conspicuous."

As the silver-haired girl's spiritual power surged, she and her cat vanished from the dense forest.

P.S.: It might be one or two female leads appearing. As for how they meet the protagonist, firstly, it won't be a chance encounter, and secondly, the protagonist doesn't possess any convergence of destiny's power. You can look forward to it. Also, this provides a plausible excuse for the absence of the ferocious beasts from the first era of Dou Yi.

Finally, due to personal reasons, tomorrow's update will likely be two chapters totaling 4,000 words. It will probably resume three updates totaling 9,000 words around the 23rd. Please forgive any inconvenience.

Chapter 92 Deep into the Stars, the Missing Soul Beast

"Such speed and crisis response capabilities."

The Serpent Spear Douluo looked at the thrusting and retraction from before with some surprise.

The moment the ten-year-old soul beast black snake launched its attack, Tang Shan's reaction was fluid and natural, as if he had anticipated it, displaying a calm and composed demeanor.

With a simple flick of the fingers, drops of black snake blood were flicked from the hand, leaving no trace or damage on the skin.

"You've reached the so-called Transformation Realm?"

Seeing Tang Shan easily shake off the poisonous blood clinging to his hands, and recalling his previous demonstration in front of them, Serpent Spear Douluo had a thought and asked.

"I managed to break through a few days ago by sheer luck."

Tangshan answered modestly.

"So you spotted this black venomous snake beforehand, right?"

The Serpent Spear Douluo was somewhat curious.

"That's right, we did notice it in advance."

Tangshan then provided an explanation.

"Senior, the development of the body in internal martial arts is not just about improving the control of strength, but also about other subtle and profound aspects. For example, one cannot add even a feather to the transformation force, nor can a fly land on it. The prerequisite for this is to have an extremely strong perception of the outside world. The moment that black venomous snake moved, I had already noticed the air currents it stirred up."

Even without disturbing the flow of energy, internal martial arts develop the body's potential, and certain special senses of danger are correspondingly developed.

Before he could finish speaking, his left hand shot out, and with a simple flick of his finger, a small green snake poked its head out from the bushes and was caught squarely by Tang Shan's finger.

Rather than saying that the finger flicked the other's head, it would be more accurate to say that the other deliberately bumped into it. A hidden force was quietly injected into the snake's head, and the green snake's body stiffened for a moment before falling from the tree.

Upon seeing this, the Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes narrowed: "Such keen insight."

"This is not insight, but an instinctive warning of crisis."

Tang Shan withdrew his hand, looked at the black snake he had easily crushed at his feet, and said with some regret, "What a pity, it's full of venom and has no value."

"Alright, let's speed up and get to the area where that diamond mammoth herd is active as soon as possible, so they don't get away."

The Serpent Spear Douluo, seemingly lost in thought, said something, took out a map from his robes, and quickly headed off in a certain direction, comparing the coordinates on it.

The dense thicket, like a giant net covered in sharp thorns, stretched arrogantly across the path. The morning dew clinging to the leaves reflected shimmering light, and even the slightest touch would leave a chilling, bloody mark. But wherever the Serpent Spear Douluo passed, the menacing thorns seemed to be smoothed over by an invisible hand, their branches and leaves rustling and falling backward. As he passed, they bounced back to their original positions, leaving only a fleeting path.

Faced with the obstacles before him, Tang Shan responded with relative brute force. Whenever there was grass that wasn't too sharp, he would bend over and rush over it. The thorny branches would graze his clothes, making a "ripping" sound, tearing his clothes to shreds, but they wouldn't even scratch his skin.

When he encountered those strange shrubs with thorns as sharp as steel needles, he twisted his waist, channeling his energy throughout his body. His bones crackled slightly, and his body suddenly shrank a bit. He spun through the gaps between the branches and leaves, cleverly releasing his force onto the intertwined branches.

Only when he encounters an impenetrable wall of thorns will he activate his martial spirit, relying on the enhancement of his physical attributes to instantly tighten his muscle lines and forcefully break through a path.
