Douluo Continent: Invincible Physical Body, I Became a God with a Mortal Form

Wang Shuo held his breath, completely suppressing his soul power and aura, and remained motionless in the shadows.

He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to be alone.

And this wait lasted for three whole days.

As the sun set, a low hum finally came from the nest, and a Thousand-Pound Ant, far larger than its kind with a dark gold carapace and surrounded by a huge fluctuation of soul power, slowly crawled out.

Wang Shuo looked up and, based on its aura and size, roughly deduced that it was a 1,200-year-old ant.

It was followed by six ancient ants, their mouthparts and mandibles swaying like knives, heading away from the nest, clearly out in search of food.

"This is the perfect opportunity!"

A cold glint flashed in Wang Shuo's eyes, and he silently followed, maintaining a safe distance throughout and revealing no trace of his own presence.

After following them for several miles, completely away from the ant nest, Wang Shuo no longer hesitated.

"Explosive Foot! Sword Flash!"

With a low shout, a piercing sonic boom erupted from beneath his feet, and his figure shot out like an arrow, his soul power condensing in his right sword finger.

The deep yellow first-ring spirit ring and level 20 spirit power erupted without reservation, carrying the ferocity honed by two years of life-and-death trials, and cleaved straight at the head of the thousand-year-old ant!

clang!

The deafening clang of metal against metal echoed through the forest. The sword, pointed at the dark golden carapace of the thousand-year-old ant, only produced a string of sparks and left a shallow white mark.

The Thousand-Pound Ant cried out in pain, turned around, and its two massive mandibles, each the size of a millstone, swept fiercely towards Wang Shuo with the force to shatter mountains and split the earth.

Its power was far more ferocious than any soul beast Wang Shuo had encountered before, and the air itself was pressed down by this attack, making a muffled sound.

Wang Shuo's expression changed slightly, and he leaned back rapidly, narrowly avoiding the attack. The giant mandibles of the Thousand-Pound Ant slammed into the ground, instantly creating a crater half a meter deep.

He dared not pause for a moment and immediately began to fight.

The Eight Extremes Heavenly Explosive Foot and Sword Flash were unleashed in succession, and fists and feet rained down on the Thousand-Year-Old Thousand-Pound Ant like a storm.

However, this soul beast's defense was terrifying. No matter how fiercely it attacked, it was difficult to break through its shell defense. At most, it could only slow down its movements slightly.

However, the millennium-old ant's counterattacks were deadly, with its giant mandibles sweeping and its ant legs trampling, each strike carrying a power that terrified Wang Shuo.

In a short time, he was hit several times, his clothes were torn and his skin was ripped open, and blood soaked through his robes.

The fierce battle lasted for half an hour. Wang Shuo's soul power was more than half depleted, and his breathing gradually became heavy. Meanwhile, the Thousand-Year-Old Ant remained ferocious, and its attacks became even more violent.

If things continue like this, he will undoubtedly lose.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuo's eyes turned cold and sharp. In the instant he dodged the Thousand-Pound Ant's attack, he suddenly saw the weakness of this soul beast: the soft flesh gap at the junction of its carapace!

"Found it!"

Instead of retreating, Wang Shuo advanced, using his powerful legs to get close to the Thousand-Pound Ant's body. Ignoring the ant's sweeping legs, he concentrated all his soul power and the power of the Eight Extremes Heaven into his right fist. His fist trembled slightly, and the air emitted a high-frequency buzzing sound.

The fourth move of the Eight Extremes Heaven: Trembling Blade.

This move is based on extreme tremor power, and its penetrating and destructive power surpasses the other moves. It is designed to break through armor.

Wang Shuo roared and his fist slammed into the gap between the carapace and the soft flesh of the abdomen of the Millennium Ant, as fast as lightning.

The high-frequency vibrations instantly pierced through the thick defenses, rushing straight into the Thousand-Pound Ant's body, frantically destroying its meridians and internal organs.

The millennium-old ant let out a mournful hiss, its massive body stiffened abruptly, and its giant mandibles drooped limply.

The fluctuations of soul power around him dissipated at a visible speed, and then he crashed heavily to the ground, completely lifeless.

Wang Shuo staggered back several steps, panting heavily. His wounds burned with pain, and his soul power was almost exhausted, but his eyes burned with an incomparably fervent light.

"We finally succeeded!"

As a purple thousand-year soul ring slowly materialized before him, Wang Shuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face revealing excitement and joy.

He slowly straightened up, his wounds still throbbing faintly all over his body.

Instead of immediately absorbing the spirit ring, he leaned against the thick ancient tree trunk behind him and slowly sat down cross-legged.

First, he used the Eight Extremes Heaven's Breathing Technique to gradually gather the scattered soul power within his body and recover some of his injuries.

The life-and-death trials he experienced in the Fallen Wind Beast Forest over the past two years have instilled in him a highly vigilant habit, allowing him to nip any potential variables in the bud, even when victory is assured.

The pale blue soul power flowed slowly around him, like warm water washing over his meridians and body. The originally torn wounds gradually stopped bleeding and scabbed over under the nourishment of the soul power, and the depleted soul power slowly recovered.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the chirping of insects in the forest and the rustling of leaves in the wind could be heard. The pale purple thousand-year soul ring floated silently above the corpse of the Thousand-Pound Ant, its halo flowing and exuding a terrifyingly powerful force.

About an hour later, Wang Shuo opened his eyes, and most of his spirit had returned.

He pushed himself up and looked around to make sure the area was far from the ant nest.

There were no other powerful soul beasts emanating from the surrounding area, so Wang Shuo stepped over the scattered pebbles and walked to a sheltered recess in the rock wall.

This place is secluded and safe, making it the perfect spot to temporarily absorb a spirit ring.

He sat down cross-legged again, his gaze falling on the purple soul ring that was slowly drifting towards him.

Even ordinary level 20 Great Soul Masters only dare to absorb a hundred-year Soul Ring, and even those with extraordinary talent can only absorb seven or eight hundred years at most.

But Wang Shuo insisted on defying the heavens, directly leaping over a whole level to devour a thousand-year-old soul ring that was twelve hundred years old.

This is the talent of his physical martial soul, enabling him to absorb soul rings beyond his limits.

Wang Shuo sat cross-legged, adjusting his aura to its optimal state. With a thought, the purple soul ring trembled gently and slowly settled around his waist, securing itself firmly.

boom!

Wang Shuo's muscles expanded rapidly, and his violent soul power inflated him into a balloon.

If it were an ordinary Great Soul Master, facing such a massive surge of soul power, he would probably have already suffered broken pulses and exploded to death.

Wang Shuo merely frowned slightly, his muscles tensed, and a faint blue halo appeared on his body.

After two years of honing his skills and countless life-or-death battles with soul beasts, his physical strength has far surpassed that of other soul masters of the same level, and is even comparable to some level 30 defensive soul masters.

That ferocious soul power, capable of tearing ordinary people apart, crashed into his body, which was like a body forged from refined iron. It was actually stripped of most of its ferocity, leaving only a gentle yet profound power that was gradually merging into his bones, flesh, and meridians.

boom!

The next moment, a torrent of soul power, so violent it was almost out of control, suddenly exploded from the soul ring and crashed into his limbs and bones once again.
