Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 205 The Fifth Soul Ring That Came to My Door

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Ji Lin, Chi Yuan, and Xiao Bai walked through the forest. Three days had passed since they left the far north.

The group came to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Ji Lin's fifth spirit ring, the Heavenly Fire Judgment. After fusing three perfect holy marks in succession, Ji Lin's physical condition had reached the point where he could fuse a 100,000-year spirit ring. Moreover, although Ji Lin did not obtain the fifth spirit ring, he felt that his spirit power was now at least level 52.

Although he hadn't acquired a spirit ring, he didn't know his current level, but it was certainly not level 50.

In theory, a Soul Master cannot break through without acquiring a Soul Ring, but they can still cultivate Soul Power independently. However, the increased Soul Power cannot be used before acquiring a Soul Ring, and the cultivation speed will be greatly reduced.

Given Ji Lin's unique extreme attributes, even if he diligently cultivated without acquiring a soul ring, he couldn't level up. However, after fusing with three perfect holy marks, he significantly increased his soul power by absorbing only a small portion of the energy from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Snow Emperor, and the Ice Emperor. Moreover, this increase in soul power occurred without a fifth soul ring.

Ideally, this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest would involve encountering a 100,000-year-old fire-attribute soul beast. It would be even better if we could persuade it to cooperate with Ji Lin and become his perfect holy mark. A perfect holy mark requires the soul beast to cooperate willingly. Forcibly creating a holy mark will not open up the holy mark space, and the soul beast's consciousness will not cooperate. Therefore, we can only create an artificial holy mark without the soul beast's consciousness or the holy mark space.

Artificial Sacred Marks do not contain Soul Bones. It would be a waste to make an artificial Sacred Mark from a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. It would be better to extract its genetic information to make an artificial Sacred Mark. If there are enough resources, it is still possible to make a 100,000-year-old Sacred Mark. Of course, if a Soul Bone is needed, it can only be obtained after killing the beast.

Although there are 100,000-year-old soul beasts living in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, they are extremely rare, and those with fire attributes are even rarer.

The Star Dou Great Forest, a dangerous place, may have more 100,000-year-old soul beasts, but that is the territory of Di Tian and the ferocious beasts. With Chi Yuan there, Ji Lin is not afraid of those ferocious beasts, but he is afraid that the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena might suddenly wake up!

What if the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, sees his exceptional talent and sees him as a threat, wanting to eliminate him prematurely? And what about Chi Yuan? She's already stronger than Di Tian. To the Silver Dragon King, Chi Yuan poses a greater threat to the soul beast race. What if the Silver Dragon King, in a moment of despair, decides to eliminate Chi Yuan, this threat, even while heavily injured?

After all, Gu Yuena was secretly observing Huo Yuhao's battle with Di Tian in the original story. If Huo Yuhao had harbored murderous intent towards Di Tian, ​​then there would have been no Huo Yuhao as the God of Emotions. If Huo Yuhao had not been without murderous intent, Gu Yuena would have definitely come out of seclusion early to kill him.

As one of the demigods of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King was at least a God-King level like the Golden Dragon King in his prime. The Golden Dragon King in his prime required three God-Kings to kill him. The Silver Dragon King, who was seriously injured and fell to the Douluo Continent, even if he was not at his peak and was suppressed by heaven and earth, still retained at least God-level combat power. Gu Yuena, who recovered from her injuries ten thousand years later, was at least a Level 1 God-level combat power.

Ji Lin was very puzzled. Ten thousand years later, the Douluo God Realm was swept away by the spacetime turbulence, leaving only Tang Hao and Ah Yin as the two god-level combatants on the Douluo Continent. For Gu Yue Na, who was once a god-king, she possessed the divine artifact Silver Dragon Spear and could also retrieve the super artifact Dragon God Heart left behind by the Dragon God. Gu Yue Na's start was simply a perfect hand, but she just happened to play her good hand terribly.

The Golden Dragon King's power was presented to her; all she needed to do was devour it, and her ascension to the Dragon Godhood would be imminent. However, she insisted on sealing her own power and transforming into a human, resulting in her splitting into two entities: Na'er, who loved and leaned towards humans.

It's very strange that the Silver Dragon King, as the ruler of all soul beasts, could split off a clone that likes humans.

If the Silver Dragon King had directly led his soul beasts in a charge, how could the Douluo Continent, having lost the Douluo God Realm, possibly withstand Gu Yuena? With Tang Hao and the unskilled Ah Yin, how could they possibly be a match for Gu Yuena?

Moreover, Tang San had just delivered the power of the Golden Dragon King to Douluo Continent, which meant it was right in front of the Silver Dragon King. As long as she absorbed the power of the Golden Dragon King, she could inherit the position of Dragon God and become the new Dragon God. Soul beasts could also break the curse of not being able to become gods. At that time, even if the Douluo God Realm returned, it would not be a match for Gu Yuena, who had become the Dragon God.

Ji Lin knew very well that although Gu Yuena was recuperating from her injuries during this period, she was definitely not completely asleep and would occasionally wake up to pay attention to the outside world. What if he was unlucky enough to happen to catch Gu Yuena idly paying attention to the outside world?

Therefore, Ji Lin will not enter the Great Perilous Land to look for a 100,000-year-old soul beast. It doesn't matter if a suitable 100,000-year-old soul beast cannot be found in the core area. Finding a fire-attribute soul beast of 50,000 to 80,000 years is also fine. With the million-year origin of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, as well as the origins of the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, it is no problem to upgrade a 10,000-year soul ring to 100,000 years.

Even if Ji Lin's first four spirit rings were to be upgraded to 100,000 years, they could still upgrade them, but Ji Lin felt there was no need to do so now.

It's one thing if the fifth spirit ring is 100,000 years old; it just means he has exceptional talent. But if the first four spirit rings also change, even a fool would know there's something wrong with you.

The three of them wandered around the core area for about ten more days, but still couldn't find a 100,000-year-old fire-attribute soul beast. Along the way, they did encounter several other soul beasts with cultivation levels of over 50,000 years, but unfortunately, none of them were suitable for Ji Lin.

Just as Ji Lin was thinking about whether to lower the standard, find a ten-thousand-year-old fire-attribute soul beast to absorb, and then have Tianmeng Ice Silkworm upgrade the soul ring to one hundred thousand years.

In the distance, a dragon's roar resounded, sounding as if filled with extreme anger and hatred. Ji Lin activated his mental detection and sensed a massive figure rapidly approaching, streaking with sparks and lightning. The trees blocking the figure's path were burned to ashes by the raging flames.

As the figure gradually approached Ji Lin and the other two, waves of fire swept in from all directions like a tidal wave, and the scorching heat caused the surrounding trees to wither rapidly.

The newcomer was clearly a fire-attribute soul beast, and judging by its appearance, it was quite old.

A burst of crimson flames lit up the sky, and a scarlet figure ruthlessly burned away everything that blocked its path, rushing to Ji Lin and the other two. Its appearance was a combination of various soul beasts: its antlers resembled those of a deer, its head resembled that of a camel, its eyes resembled those of a ghost, its neck resembled that of a snake, its belly resembled that of a clam, its scales resembled those of a fish, its claws resembled those of an eagle, its paws resembled those of a tiger, and its ears resembled those of a cow. The combination of ordinary things created this true overlord soul beast: a dragon!
