Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 593 I was careless (Please subscribe!!!)

In the pitch-black depths of space, a patch of green appears.

At this moment, it was as if a glimmer of life had been born from the desolate void.

This glimmer of life quickly expanded, illuminating the entire starry sky.

As expected of an avatar formed by harnessing the life essence of the Star of Life.

Xu Yuan complained.

This avatar of the Goddess of Life made no attempt to conceal itself; the aura of the very essence of life was directly displayed to everyone.

It's like a little golden statue that's parading around in front of people.

That's incredibly audacious!

If Xu Yuan hadn't known that the other party was an ally, he would have wanted to find a way to devour the other party's power without anyone noticing, in order to replenish his life essence when the God Realm was opened in the future.

What a pity.

However, before Xu Yuan could even feel regret, he sensed another, even more vibrant fluctuation.

Well, this fluctuation wasn't actually that obvious to others; it was just the aura emitted by a strong person that was "obvious" to the weak.

Among those at the half-step God-King level, this new fluctuation of aura is actually not exaggerated.

But for Xu Yuan, it was as if he had seen a nine-colored elemental source that was even more exaggerated than the origin of life itself, walking around.

Life force may far surpass ordinary elemental force, but if it is special elemental force, such as mutated elements like strange fire, divine water, and mysterious lightning, then it is not necessarily the case.

Alternatively, it can be combined with the attributes derived from various elements such as fire and lightning, such as the power of destruction, which can be comparable to the power of life.

This view on forces such as destruction is actually a summary of the various forces in the universe by the magicians of the Sacred Heart plane.

Xu Yuan's approach was still too unorthodox. Even when he analyzed and categorized things himself, his analysis was still vague and largely based on his own perspective. It was far inferior to the tens of thousands of years of accumulated knowledge from a particular plane of existence.

Of course, given time, Xu Yuan could also compile similar content, but it would definitely be different. The destruction attribute he defined would not be an attribute derived from a variety of ordinary elements, but rather one directly related to the laws, with the laws backing it up to guarantee its power and effect.

As for its connection with elemental forces such as fire and lightning, it's more accurate to say it's about the compatibility between these forces.

The power of destruction merges with thunder and fire, providing an opportunity for these two elements to advance.

As for mutated elements, they are elements that have acquired various incredible effects because ordinary elemental power has established a stable legal framework.

This also gives them common characteristics with the power of life and even the power of destruction.

Back to topic.

Looking at the nine-colored ball of light in front of him, Xu Yuan suddenly understood the Heavenly Punishment.

This is truly a walking treasure trove.

Mutant elements are no longer sufficient to describe the Stone King.

Perhaps only the perfect elements can describe him.

This Stone King was actually the result of the simultaneous fusion and mutation of nine elements, and was inherently connected to the laws.

Therefore, he was actually a god when he was first conceived, born at a height that most life forms could never reach in their lifetime.

After devouring eight of his own kind and undergoing a long period of cosmic gestation, he naturally integrated the laws corresponding to the nine elements, allowing them to combine and give rise to the Dao.

The Dao is an abstract concept that Xu Yuan himself summarized, using some of the sayings from his previous life to make it easier for him to understand.

The so-called Tao is a completely new power unique to living beings.

Xu Yuan cultivates spiritual power, uses spiritual power to evolve runes, and uses runes to write the Dao. Once he has completed the writing and mastered the power of an entire Dao, he will undergo a qualitative change!

Unfortunately, what Xu Yuan wrote was not enough to be called the Way.

But the Stone King's feeling was enough to be called "the Way".

The reason why the Stone King was not too powerful was because his Dao did not belong to him.

Xu Yuan looked at the nine-colored light, took several deep breaths, and calmed himself down.

The nine-colored light naturally bound the Stone King to the universe.

This is the Tao that belongs to the universe.

The entire process was the universe evolving the nine elemental origins of the Stone King. The Stone King himself can be considered a cosmic life form, and his Dao naturally belongs to the universe.

The Stone King is still there, so this is the Dao, not a new law governing the natural evolution of the universe.

Perhaps after the Stone King's death, this is no longer the Dao, but a law, a completely new universal law of the universe.

The Way that does not entirely belong to him

"Therefore, everything he has was a gift from the universe from the very beginning. Even with power at the level of the Dao, he cannot reach the level of a God-King."

This also means that without special opportunities, the Stone King really has no chance of advancing to the God King level.

As for finding a divine realm and condensing a divine position...

Suddenly, Xu Yuan's heart seemed to be stirred.

A flash of inspiration struck him.

The Stone King, belonging to the universe, has belonged to the universe from the very beginning.

He found out.

He now knew where the flaw the Blood Demon King had pointed out lay.

"It's not a flaw in my spiritual energy system, but a flaw in my cultivation. My foundation lies in the universe."

Xu Yuan gave a bitter smile to himself.

Yes, he remembered. When he broke through to godhood, he changed his aptitude, becoming a star life form and freeing himself from the constraints of different planes.

He once thought that he could continue to transcend, break free from the constraints of the universe, enter chaos, and truly be unrestrained from then on.

However, the subsequent experiences shattered Xu Yuan's preconceived notions. Outside the multiverse, there is no higher level of chaos. The so-called chaos is merely a state relative to the universe that exists now, an opposite state.

Existence is the multiverse; before the birth of the multiverse, nothing existed, which was chaos.

Therefore, Xu Yuan silently rejected the idea of ​​transcending the universe.

This also led him to overlook this crucial factor.

"I see, I was careless after all."

Before the path of spiritual practice has been verified, every step must be taken with utmost caution.

The technique of transforming life forms in the starry sky back then was indeed quite impressive, as it created the conditions for Xu Yuan to open up his inner world later on, laying the foundation for his subsequent opening of multiple small worlds.

Indeed, Xu Yuan was able to create small worlds multiple times because his origin was freedom. In the universe, creating small worlds was like promoting the evolution of small worlds within the universe.

However, when normal life forms within a plane create small worlds, it appears as if the plane itself is developing and expanding, which would attract resistance from the universe.

Why is it the Divine Realm of Wonders?

Xu Yuan was puzzled again.

What's so special about that plane, that universe?

Xu Yuan didn't think for long before directly asking the Blood Demon God King.

The answer was simple.

"I will help your main body enter there."

"Xu Yuan".

Yuan Kong's voice interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts.

Coming to his senses, Xu Yuan looked at the Life Queen and the Stone King, who were already not far away, and sized them up.

The Queen of Life is depicted as a young girl, while the Stone King is portrayed as a calm and collected middle-aged man.

The two were also observing Xu Yuan at this moment.

"Greetings, both of you. You may call me Xu Yuan."

"Bai Ling".

"Shi Potian".

The Queen of Life and the Stone King announced their names.

Empress Bai Ling said, "It seems that you have gained some insights from meeting us, Xu Yuan."

Under normal circumstances, a powerhouse at the half-step God King level would not lose focus.

Those who cultivate to their level have actually evolved to an extremely high level. Even in a moment, their brains can think of many things without affecting their normal actions.

However, Xu Yuan was clearly distracted just now.

"Yes, I have some insights." Xu Yuan did not hide anything, but he did not directly state the content of his insights.

Yuan Kong glanced at Xu Yuan in surprise.

He was genuinely terrified.

Xu Yuan, who was not a god-level cultivator in the past ten years, has suddenly become a half-step god-king. Now, right under my nose, he has unknowingly gained some insights.

This is way too exaggerated!

"you"

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I've just figured out some issues related to cultivation, but it won't help my cultivation or strength in the short term."

Bai Ling and Shi Potian both nodded.

On the contrary, Yuan Kong became cautious at this moment.

short time?

In your opinion, Xu Yuan, how long is considered long?

What is a unit for a short period of time?

This is what others said about Yuan Kong before he became a god.

However, after who knows how many years, he recalled this scene again, but this time he used it on someone else, on a half-step God King.

"Let's get down to business. Although the Great Transmission Technique explains it very clearly, I still have some doubts. I wonder if Xu Yuan could let us personally experience your Holy Guidance?" Shi Potian said bluntly.

Bai Ling also spoke up, saying, "We don't need to fight, and we won't dodge. We'll just experience the effects of your Holy Guidance."

Xu Yuan nodded.

"Of course, no problem."

Without warning, Bai Ling raised her slender, delicate hand.

She pointed her hand down in mid-air, and a ball of emerald green light appeared, heading towards Xu Yuan.

The ball of light contained a life force, yet it seemed to carry a scorching heat.

The energy fluctuations of the light cluster were not strong, and might not even have any effect on a god-level being.

Xu Yuan neither dodged nor avoided the ball of light, letting it hit his chest.

"So that's how it is. The life force is integrated, but it also acts as a spark, igniting my life force. It's a truly powerful ability," Xu Yuan thought to himself.

Because the light itself was not intense, the flames were also small. Xu Yuan easily extinguished the flames by simply circulating his spiritual power.

The Queen of Life was forced to act under the influence of the Holy Guidance, but she used extremely weak power.

However, this only avoids accidentally harming friendly units when testing Holy Spell and reduces resource consumption, but it cannot prevent the Holy Spell effect from taking effect.

Therefore, even if someone is extremely far from Xu Yuan but is locked onto by the Holy Guidance, they can quickly arrive at the scene and carry it out, even if they only want to gently punch his chest from a distance.

Xu Yuan did not show favoritism.

He used the Holy Guidance on Shi Potian again.

His main reason was that he wanted to experience Shi Potian's power.

Unlike the Queen of Life, Shi Potian directly threw a punch at Xu Yuan.

This punch wasn't very powerful, but it didn't contain any extraordinary power; it was just a simple punch from the flesh.

Xu Yuan blocked his fist with his right hand in front of him, secretly regretting it.

It's probably impossible to feel it now.

We can only look forward to witnessing the strangeness of the Crimson Mother's nine elements in the upcoming battle.

"It's a very peculiar power, basically unavoidable, it can only attack you." The two nodded in agreement, acknowledging Xu Yuan's abilities.

"I've tried it too. Even from a distance, if you have the ability to teleport, you'll unconsciously teleport back immediately and attack Xu Yuan," Yuan Kong said.

He had initially considered delaying things.

However, the body tells a different story.

A very powerful Holy Guidance ability.

However, it is quite reasonable.

Xu Yuan's Holy Guidance is the effect of the Holy Guidance Spirit Furnace after its fourth evolution. Afterwards, it went through the process of the three spirit furnaces being unified, which strengthened its effect once again.

It's important to know that on the Holy Demon Continent, the Holy Guiding Furnace is also useful to the Nine-Headed Chimera.

It's only natural that Xu Yuan's Saintly Guidance has been enhanced in terms of its mechanism. After all, his Spirit Furnace's four evolutions were pure evolutions. Compared to spliced-together, chance-based evolutions, Xu Yuan's evolutions were actually achieved by being fully fed and reaching the evolutionary point. This was a forced enhancement of his original abilities and a direct expansion.

"The three of you, before we take action, shouldn't we discuss the distribution of spoils after the battle?" Xu Yuan reminded them.

Although he was seeking revenge and came to resolve the trouble, he wasn't there for nothing.

"It should have been made clear beforehand." Yuan Kong and the other two nodded in agreement.

Yuan Kong looked at Xu Yuan and explained, "Our three-way cooperation has always been based on equal distribution."

That's why I subconsciously forgot to discuss the spoils of war with Xu Yuan.

"Because we have cooperated many times, and the forces we send each time are of the same level, there is no need to worry about the imbalance of contributions. However, this time, Xu Yuan, your Holy Guidance ability is the key ability. So if we successfully kill the Crimson Mother this time, we will split the good things we get equally in principle. However, Xu Yuan, you have two shares: one is your Holy Guidance effect, and the other is your combat contribution."

Therefore, if Xu Yuan doesn't slack off in the fight, it's equivalent to five people sharing the battle, while Xu Yuan gets the share of two people.

"As for whether the treasures needed are from the cosmic territory or the Crimson Realm, it depends on the specific circumstances."

Yuan Kong explained the allocation issue clearly in just a few words.

This allocation was too hasty.

How could there possibly be a perfectly balanced contribution in combat?

However, splitting it equally can sometimes be a very convenient option.

This may cause internal conflicts.

However, if the distribution is mutually agreed upon and equal, it will actually be more conducive to long-term cooperation among the parties.

This seems like a tacit agreement, giving people a sense of reliability.

The fact that Yuan Kong applied this rule to Xu Yuan was actually because he hoped to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Xu Yuan.

"I'm fine." Xu Yuan nodded.

A very clear allocation scheme.

"In that case, we should get down to business," Shi Potian said, rubbing his hands together and grinning.

"Be careful to conceal your aura. The Crimson Mother is a plane lord. If the aura of a powerhouse of the same level enters her territory, it will attract her attention," Bai Ling said.

Xu Yuan's eye twitched.

How dare you say that?

Although we haven't entered the Crimson Domain yet, it seems we're nearing its edge. Your radiant life force is not being concealed at all.
