Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 64 Xiang Liu

Xiao Yi then told Dugu Yan about the origin of the inner core.

"The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent is a primordial beast, incredibly venomous. Adults can grow to over ten meters long and possess the most potent fire poison among snakes. After ten thousand years of cultivation, it can form an inner core, hidden within its nine heads. When the inner core is revealed, the world loses its color. If one obtains its inner core, all snakes will flee in terror. It is the supreme being among snakes."

"Moreover, it has a pair of fiery red eyes, though the eyes are not particularly large. It also has a dark red snake body and a huge size."

Its cry sounds like a baby's wail, and it makes a quacking sound when someone approaches it.

On the snake's head and back, there were nine protrusions, each resembling a bright red mushroom, with what appeared to be blood flowing inside. The snake I encountered on the Road to Hell had an exceptionally large abdomen and was ten meters long.

"Moreover, I read in a book that the inner core of some soul beasts can form a soul ring. According to the quality of this inner core, it can form a 50,000-year soul ring. However, Grandpa's soul rings are full. Perhaps the energy in the inner core can help increase the age of one of Grandpa's soul rings."

"Ah? This inner core has such effects? Then let's go find Grandpa!" After listening to Xiao Yi's story, Dugu Yan grabbed Xiao Yi's arm and walked out.

"Hey, Yan Yan, slow down!" Xiao Yi put away his inner core, hugged Dugu Yan, spread his wings, and took off carrying Dugu Yan.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"Hold me tight, that'll make it faster."

One hour later.

"Grandpa, we're here. Xiao Yi is back."

At this moment, Master Dugu was tending to herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well when he heard Dugu Yan's voice from outside and immediately put down what he was doing.

Then Dugu Bo opened the barrier and said, "When did you come back? You didn't even say you'd come back to see me first."

Xiao Yi landed with Dugu Yan and said, "I thought you were home, so I went back to check first. But it turned out that only Yan Yan was home, so I chatted with her for a while."

"Grandpa, Xiao Yi brought you some good stuff this time," Dugu Yan said.

"What good stuff? Show it to me," Dugu Bo asked Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi took out the inner cores of ten Fiery Sun Serpents from his soul tool.

"Grandpa, this is the inner core of a strange species called the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent that I brought back from Hell Road. It can form a spirit ring, but you already have a full set of spirit rings. However, it may increase the age limit of one of your later spirit rings."

Moreover, these ten Fiery Sun Serpents are ancient mythical beasts, the supreme among serpents, incredibly venomous, and most adept at using fire poison.

Dugu Bo didn't know what the mythical beasts of the primordial era were, but he did know about the supreme snake species.

Dugu Bo looked at the inner core and felt a longing from his martial soul, but he also felt a little uncomfortable, which made him confused. However, he believed that Xiao Yi would not harm him.

Dugu Bo immediately felt the scorching fire attribute upon receiving the inner core.

"It seems that it was because of the elemental properties. Snakes prefer cold and shady places, so they are naturally uncomfortable when they encounter fire," Dugu Bo thought to himself.

"By the way, Grandpa, I haven't taken the whale gelatin you gave me last time. Could you help me take care of it?" Xiao Yi said to Dugu Bo, taking out the whale gelatin.

Dugu Bo took the whale glue and heated it with his own soul power, and the whale glue quickly melted.

Then Dugu Bo handed the whale glue to Xiao Yi.

After receiving the whale gelatin, Xiao Yi immediately put it into his mouth, not caring whether it was hot or not. After finishing it, Xiao Yi sat down cross-legged and began to refine it.

At this point, the side effects of the high-quality whale glue began to appear. Whale glue is a highly nourishing substance, especially one that is 90,000 years old. Moreover, Xiao Yi is a young man full of vigor and vitality, so the side effects are even greater. Soon, Xiao Yi's body turned red and warm, radiating a scorching aura. Streams of energy flowed to his limbs and bones, strengthening Xiao Yi's meridians and flesh.

He tried his best to use his head soul bone to maintain his sanity and prevent himself from making mistakes. He didn't know how much time had passed before the whale glue took full effect, and Xiao Yi's body temperature returned to normal.

Dugu Bo looked at the ten-headed blazing sun serpent inner core in his hand. The golden-red inner core was about the size of a fist and had the patterns of ten blazing sun serpents in the middle. Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and swallowed it directly.

Dugu Bo swallowed the inner cores of ten Fiery Sun Serpents, and in an instant, his body felt as if it were on fire.

Dugu Bo's martial spirit was automatically attached to his body. The white scales kept changing as Dugu Bo circulated his soul power to refine the inner core of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

Although the energy of the inner core was violent, Dugu Bo, as a level 96 Super Douluo, had a different physical condition. The life level of a Title Douluo could no longer be considered human. Although the energy was violent, it did not damage Dugu Bo's meridians and internal organs.

Dugu Bo closed his eyes and slowly absorbed the power brought by the inner core by circulating his soul power. At the same time, Dugu Bo's martial soul also changed.

Originally, white spikes and eight undeveloped snake heads slowly grew out. After the snake heads grew out, they were all the same size, while the spikes did not change much.

However, the most vulnerable part of the snake's belly is covered with scales, which obviously greatly enhances its defense.

The snake's head grew to two meters in size, and its neck became five meters long. Due to the sharp spikes, Dugu Bo's martial spirit was extremely ferocious.

As he was in the state of possessing a martial soul, the soul rings on Dugu Bo's body appeared, the most common configuration for a titled Douluo: two yellow, two purple, and five black.

However, all of Dugu Bo's spirit rings changed. First, his first spirit ring changed from yellow to purple, then to black, and finally became a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Then the second spirit ring also changed from yellow to purple, and then from purple to black.

The third spirit ring changed directly from a purple thousand-year spirit ring to a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Like the third spirit ring, the fourth spirit ring gradually turned from purple to black.

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Bo's fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth spirit rings showed no change in aura, until the ninth spirit ring.

After the inner core had increased the age of the first few spirit rings, all the energy entered Dugu Bo's ninth spirit ring, thus increasing the age of Dugu Bo's ninth spirit ring.

Before long, Dugu Bo's ninth spirit ring slowly turned from black to light red, until it was almost completely red before stopping.

What does this mean? Only spirit rings produced by spirit beasts that are close to 100,000 years old, such as those that are 90,000 years old, are black and red. The more red there is, the closer the spirit beast is to 100,000 years old.

A spirit ring that is entirely red without a trace of black is a 100,000-year spirit ring. A 100,000-year spirit ring is a true treasure for a spirit master. Only by possessing a 100,000-year spirit ring can one have the possibility of advancing to level 98, thereby breaking through the limit and advancing to level 99, the Limit Douluo.

Tang Chen originally had a spirit ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, which enabled him to become a Limit Douluo and be known as the strongest on land.

The remaining energy was drawn towards the soul core by Dugu Bo. Originally, Dugu Bo had a mixed poison soul core, and now with the addition of fire poison, he would be even more powerful.

Dugu Yan was protecting Dugu Bo and Dugu Bo. When she saw the changes in Dugu Bo's martial soul, she was amazed. Although she knew that Dugu Bo would change after absorbing the inner core, she did not expect it to be so obvious.
