Douluo Continent: The True Self of Martial Soul, Infinite Awakening

A dark green gale howled across the bluestone plaza of the main peak of the Body Sect.

The violent shockwaves rolled outwards, causing several heavy bronze cauldrons at the edge to vibrate and hum.

Poison Undying withdrew his protective soul power, and four figures of varying heights stood steadily on the hard bluestone slab.

Jiang Nannan's legs were stiff. The long period of high-speed flight at high altitude, coupled with the unobstructed gale, made her stomach churn.

She clenched her teeth tightly, her cheeks taut, and forced back the acid that rose in her throat.

Vina's condition wasn't much better. Her exquisite pale yellow dress was torn in several places by the air currents at high altitude, her delicate hair ornament was crooked, and a few strands of silver hair were scattered on her pale cheeks.

Neither of them complained, nor did they linger in the square.

Vina turned her head and gave Ye Yuan, who was standing next to her, a deep look.

She then grabbed Jiang Nannan's wrist and turned to walk towards the Touching Sky Stone on the back mountain.

Her steps were extremely fast, almost jogging, and she didn't even bother to tidy up her slightly disheveled appearance.

The battles on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest shattered their understanding.

Six hundred-year-old wind wolves, one thousand-year-old wolf king, and two seven-hundred-year-old turtle-like soul beasts with terrifying defensive capabilities.

Before that dazzling golden spear and the deep, ancient black ring, they were like fragile withered leaves, swept away with overwhelming force.

If they don't fight tooth and nail to catch up, they might not even have the chance to follow in Ye Yuan's footsteps and be left to languish.

Poison Undying, hands on his thick waist, grinned as he watched the two girls' hurried, stumbling figures.

"Having witnessed the true dragon soaring in the sky, they naturally look down on the mere chickens and dogs on the ground. Shame spurs them on, and these two girls still have some backbone; they weren't completely spoiled by those comfortable days."

Ye Yuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Poison Undying.

"Sect Master, now that you have some free time, help me find something."

Ye Yuan stated his needs directly.

Poison Immortal raised his thick, dark eyebrows and turned his massive body to face Ye Yuan:

"Tell me, which 100,000-year-old ginseng king in the medicine storehouse do you want? Or which top-grade soul bone do you want? As long as it exists on this continent, I'll snatch it back for you even if I have to."

"A carving knife," Ye Yuan uttered.

The howling mountain wind in the square seemed to pause for a moment.

Poison Immortal picked at his ear, his smile slowly fading as he thought he had misheard:

"A carving knife? That's the stuff those softies from the Sun Moon Empire use to play with lumps of iron? Xiao Yuan, you have a physical martial soul; achieving sainthood through your physical body is the right path. What do you need those unorthodox tools for?"

"The Sun and Moon Empire ranks ninety-ninth on the list of engraving knives, named 'Spirit Devourer.'" Ye Yuan ignored Poison Undying's surprise and continued to provide accurate information.

"Focus your inquiries on the major underground black markets and top auction houses of the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire. Its characteristics are quite obvious: it comes with a dangerous backlash curse."

Poison Undying's brows furrowed into a tight knot.

Give me a reason.

Ye Yuan stared directly into those dark green eyes, showing no sign of backing down.

"This carving knife is your last line of defense for breaking through to the Limit Douluo level."

boom!

The poison didn't kill him; the entire bluestone slab beneath his feet instantly shattered into countless fine stone powders.

"With Vina joining the sect, the fate and destiny of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family are now linked to the Body Sect. Jiang Nannan, though of commoner origin, carries an extremely strong destiny that can withstand the impact of the times. The sect has already firmly secured these two anchors of destiny." Ye Yuan spoke steadily.

"The pool of sect fortune is churning and growing stronger. It is enough to suppress the backlash from the laws when you break through."

Ye Yuan changed the subject, getting straight to the heart of the matter.

"But if you want to condense a second soul core within your body, it's an extreme collision of two massive vortexes of soul power. At the moment space tears apart, you'll also need a vast and pure life force to stabilize your physical body and prevent physical collapse. Luck can protect your fate, but it can't mend the damage to your internal organs and meridians."

Ye Yuan raised his hand, his fingertips making a virtual tap in mid-air.

"That Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is concealed by layers of malevolent curses. Its true nature is a single piece of top-grade 'Life Gold,' containing the purest life essence of this world."

Ye Yuan concluded: "The Law of Suppression of Luck will allow the Metal of Life to reshape flesh and blood. As long as you bring it back to the main peak and remove the curse, the time will be ripe for you to break through to level ninety-nine, the Limit Douluo."

The eerie green light in Du Busi's eyes flickered wildly, and his heart pounded in his chest at an unprecedented speed.

He didn't need to go to the major sects to find those old fogies to verify the truth of his words.

In this six-year-old boy, he witnessed too many miracles that broke the ironclad rules of the Douluo Continent for millions of years.

The first ring of ten thousand years, with ultimate attributes, is a terrifying martial soul that devours all alien energy.

Now, the door to level 99, which had been closed for decades, was kicked open a crack by this boy, and the key to the level was shoved directly into his hand.

Poison Undying took a deep breath of the icy air.

"Stars and Moon." Poisonous Undying gritted his teeth, his facial muscles twitching violently from extreme excitement.

"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground and tear down the palaces of these two great empires, I will bring this treasure of life back to you intact!"

There was absolutely no need for Ye Yuan to urge them further.

Du Busi turned around and headed straight for the Star Luo Empire, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Huo Yuhao stood behind Ye Yuan, looking at the spot where Du Busi had disappeared, and swallowed hard.

"Sect Master, this is a bit too... decisive."

Ye Yuan turned around and walked towards the steep stone steps leading to the back mountain.

"It concerns our lives and the stability and prosperity of our sect for the next hundred years. Anyone would be anxious. Let's go. The sect leader is leaving; we should go back and continue our cultivation."

Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao immediately followed closely behind Ye Yuan.

The two climbed up the steep stone steps.

As the altitude increased, the wind grew sharper, the temperature dropped sharply, and the air became extremely thin.

As Ye Yuan climbed, he felt the soul power flowing through his meridians.

Level 15.

This level is absolutely phenomenal for a six-year-old child who has only awakened his martial soul six months ago.

However, this is far from enough for Ye Yuan's current physical condition.

The domineering power of the ultimate light was fully displayed after absorbing the soul ring of the 18,000-year-old Blazing Golden Crystal Hou.

But the condition inside his body was like an iron cauldron that was only half-filled with water but was being frantically boiled over a raging fire.

The ultimate attribute of a single pole not only brings terrifying destructive power to kill enemies of higher levels, but also puts a heavy burden on the host's physical body.

The source of light was constantly tempering his bones and blood, greedily devouring his physical strength and spirit.

Without the checks and balances of an opposing force, this one-sided tempering will gradually take on a hint of irreversible destruction.

If this problem is not resolved as soon as possible, his physical body will eventually collapse under the endless burning of the ultimate light.

Ye Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the scorching heat from his palm that almost ignited the air.

too slow.

He had to use the most brutal methods to quickly build up his soul power to level 20.

Only by reaching the threshold of a Great Soul Master, obtaining a second dark attribute soul ring, and fully awakening the long-dormant dark origin within one's body to achieve ultimate darkness, can the current stalemate be broken.

We must construct that envisioned light-dark cycle.

The ultimate light and the ultimate darkness converge within the body, forming a perfect yin-yang symbol.

They are constantly regenerating, mutually restraining, and mutually nourishing.

At that time, his physical body and soul power will experience a true, unstoppable, explosive burst of power.

Push open the heavy stone door leading to the Sky-Touching Stone.

A violent gust of wind rushed in instantly, making their clothes flutter loudly.

On the Sky-Touching Stone, Jiang Nannan and Vina were already sitting cross-legged in the worst spot at the windy entrance.

A pink halo of soul power shone on Jiang Nannan's body, her second soul ring flickered, and she was using gravity control to continuously put pressure on herself. The sweat that had just flowed out was dried by the gale.

Vina, with an ice lotus atop her head, frantically channeled her soul power in the extreme cold to resist the razor-sharp winds.

Both of them were so engrossed in intense, demanding training that they didn't even notice Ye Yuan and Huo Yuhao approaching.

Ye Yuan walked to his own flat bluestone, sat down cross-legged, and then the source of light within his body suddenly erupted.

The dazzling golden flames forcibly tore apart the surrounding gale that was cutting through the rocks, transforming it into an absolute energy field with a diameter of two meters.

Huo Yuhao skillfully stepped into the edge of the area shrouded in light and sat down cross-legged.

His eyes shone with pure golden light, and he began to condense his soul power using the gentle primordial energy purified by the ultimate light.

Under the golden light, Ye Yuan closed his eyes, and his breathing became long and even.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) was drawn in, transforming into a funnel-shaped energy vortex that poured into the top of his head.

The brutal tug-of-war between bone and blood and rampant energy has once again begun on this sheer cliff.
