Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 144, Page 143: The Fallen Angel God's Conjecture

hum-

The black 30,000-year soul ring born from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was quickly absorbed and refined by Su Mo.

boom--

As soon as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring entered his body, Su Mo felt a powerful energy explode within him.

Although the spirit rings contained within the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had weakened after the Danzhu (a magical pearl) left, it was still much stronger than other spirit beasts.

After Su Mo was taken into her body, she felt a little full.

Fortunately, it was still within Su Mo's limit.

Su Mo dared not be careless and immediately began to absorb and refine the essence diligently.

"Is this kid really okay?"

Bone Douluo, seeing that Su Mo had already begun to absorb and refine the essence, couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He had personally experienced just how powerful the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was, so he was very worried that Su Mo would not be able to withstand the spirit rings generated by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"It's alright, this kid has already started refining normally!"

Sword Douluo smiled, indicating that everyone should not worry.

Hearing Sword Douluo say this, Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong were relieved.

Afterwards, everyone stood guard while Su Mo absorbed the soul ring.

"Dad, I just saw Xiaowu!"

"That's our classmate from before!"

Ning Rongrong then spoke up to Ning Fengzhi and the others about seeing Xiao Wu.

"Is it that little rabbit?"

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Sword Douluo immediately knew who she was referring to.

When he went to Shrek Academy, he was stopped by Tang Hao because of Xiao Wu's presence, so he knew about it as soon as Ning Rongrong mentioned it.

"So, those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts knew that little rabbit!"

"No wonder they didn't come!"

Sword Douluo then understood why the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts hadn't attacked them.

Because of Xiao Wu's presence, they also had reservations.

"Uncle Jian, do you know what those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts were?"

"It feels very strong..."

Ning Fengzhi spoke up.

While watching Su Mo absorb the soul ring, the group chatted about the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts they had just encountered.

Su Mo absorbed the nutrients for a full two days.

hum-

Two days later, Su Mo finally absorbed and refined the soul ring that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had given birth to, and successfully condensed his fifth soul ring.

One after another, spirit rings appeared on Su Mo's body. The fifth spirit ring, a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, was much more intense in color than the fourth spirit ring.

However, they are both black, and you can't tell the difference unless you look closely.

When Su Mo opened his eyes, a dark red glint flashed in them and then disappeared.

"Good lad, you actually succeeded!"

When Bone Douluo saw that Su Mo had actually succeeded, he couldn't help but praise him.

"If it weren't for Grandpa Bone, I wouldn't have been able to obtain such a good spirit ring!"

Su Mo stood up and smiled.

hum-

Then, Su Mo also summoned his Soul Hunter Spear.

After absorbing the fifth spirit ring, Su Mo's Soul Hunter Spear was strengthened once again.

Originally, the Soul Hunter Spear had turned into a golden-red color after absorbing the soul ring of the Golden Lion Tiger. However, after absorbing the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it turned back into a dark red color, which was even deeper than before. A faint layer of black mist flowed over the spear.

This comes with built-in special effects!

The quality has obviously been greatly improved.

"Wow, this Soul Hunter Gun is even cooler!"

"Su Mo, what is your fifth soul skill?"

Upon seeing this, Bone Douluo praised him again, and then curiously inquired about Su Mo's fifth soul skill.

Ning Fengzhi and the others also looked at Su Mo, eager to know what Su Mo's fifth soul skill would be.

"It's the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Evil God Protection, a defensive soul skill!"

Su Mo brandished the Soul Hunter Gun in his hand and then spoke.

Evil God's Protection: After activation, a layer of black mist will condense around Su Mo. While the black mist exists, it ignores any soul skill attacks of the same level. It also has strong resistance to soul skill attacks of a higher level.

Su Mo never expected that after hunting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring, the soul skill he obtained would be a defensive soul skill.

This soul skill is powerful enough; the higher Su Mo's level, the stronger its power becomes.

Although it doesn't possess absolute physical defense like the Invincible Golden Body, the Evil God's Protection can last longer, and as long as it isn't broken, it can even continue indefinitely.

"So it was one of those black mist soul skills..."

"This soul skill is pretty good; it's very defensive!"

After hearing Su Mo's words, Sword Douluo immediately knew that it was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that had used the soul skill that had caused them so much trouble, and he immediately praised it.

In his opinion, all of Su Mo's current soul skills are offensive, so it wouldn't be bad to have a defensive one.

Pursuing powerful attacks is good, but having a certain level of defensive capability is also essential.

In his view, Su Mo was already lacking in defensive capabilities, but now he had made up for it perfectly, and it was such a powerful and practical defensive soul skill.

"Yes, it perfectly makes up for my weakness!"

Su Mo nodded, showing no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Su Mo also really liked his fifth soul skill.

More importantly, after absorbing the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, his understanding of the power of spacetime became stronger, allowing him to better cultivate his own power of spacetime.

Most importantly, he also obtained the inner core bead of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Su Mo knew that the bead was his greatest gain.

After successfully hunting the fifth spirit ring, Su Mo and his group quickly left the Star Dou Great Forest without lingering there.

On the way back, after checking into a tavern, Su Mo took out the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger bead to examine it.

"Sister Rakshasa, can you tell what it is?"

Su Mo also summoned Bibi Dong at the same time.

If Su Mo looked at it himself, he would only feel that the bead in his hand was very unusual, but he couldn't perceive anything more.

"Let me see!"

Bibi Dong had long been curious about this bead, so she immediately took it from Su Mo's hand and began to examine it carefully.

"This is……"

"This bead actually contains the aura of divinity!"

Soon, Bibi Dong was shocked to feel an aura above her.

That was the aura of divinity; she only acquired divinity after inheriting the divine position of the Rakshasa God.

However, the divine essence within her disappeared after her death.

What she possesses now is only the same attribute power as the Rakshasa God; her divine status has long since disappeared.

She was able to lift the Rakshasa Scythe because her power and the Rakshasa Scythe's power attributes were the same; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to take it at all.

"The aura of divinity?"

"It seems the legends are true. If the Dark Demon God Tiger cultivates to its peak, it can become an evil god!"

"Sister Rakshasa, if I absorb it, will I be able to obtain this divine essence?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo immediately became excited.

"No, although it contains the power of a god, it's incomplete. It's not enough to break through and become a god on its own!"

Bibi Dong shook her head upon hearing Su Mo's words.

"What a pity, the power of this bead is of the extreme evil attribute. If it were of the light attribute, Xiaoxue could regain her divine status!"

Then Bibi Dong said with some regret.

After saying that, Bibi Dong handed the bead back to Su Mo.

Su Mo accepted it with some regret, but not too much disappointment.

Because he never thought that obtaining this bead would help him break through to godhood.

In the story of Tianzhu Bian, Zhou Weiqing, after obtaining this bead, still needed to inherit the divine position of others in order to break through to the divine level; he could not break through on his own.

Regardless of the circumstances, this bead is undoubtedly a very precious treasure.

"Not necessarily. Besides her sacred and radiant side, Qian Renxue also possesses a dark side!"

"If we give her this bead, it might help her restore her divinity. As for whether she will recover to be an angel god or become a fallen angel, that depends on herself!"

Su Mo then smiled.

Bibi Dong was unaware of Qian Renxue's dark side, but Su Mo did.

"What? Angels have a dark side?"

As expected, Bibi Dong was greatly surprised upon hearing Su Mo's words.

She truly didn't know that the angel god actually possessed a dark side.

If that's really the case, then Qian Renxue can indeed absorb this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger bead.

However, the consequences will be just as Su Mo said: Qian Renxue's bright side may not be able to suppress her dark side, and the power in her body will be transformed into dark power.

"Yes, the brighter a place is, the more darkness exists within it. Light and darkness have always been opposites, existing simultaneously!"

Su Mo continued.

Putting everything else aside, when Su Mo watched the anime, he thoroughly enjoyed seeing Qian Renxue transform into the Dark Qian Renxue during the Angel God's test.

The power of angels contains the power of darkness, and that's where it comes in.

Thinking of this, Su Mo suddenly felt full of anticipation.

If he were to actually appear in the future and give the Dark Demon God Tiger's bead to Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue might actually be transformed from an angel god representing light into a fallen angel god representing darkness!

It's said that turning evil makes you three times stronger and turning good makes you seven times weaker. So, could Qian Renxue, who turned evil and became a fallen angel, defeat the sea god Tang San?

Of course, Su Mo didn't know whether Qian Renxue would actually become a fallen angel god; it was just a guess.

However, Su Mo felt that if Qian Renxue in the future timeline was filled with hatred, then the Fallen Angel God would be a perfect fit for her.

"If that's the case, that would be wonderful..."

Bibi Dong looked over with delight, then turned to Su Mo with hope in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Sister Rakshasa, I'll keep this bead for her!"

Upon seeing this, Su Mo immediately laughed.

If this bead could help Su Mo break through to godhood, Su Mo would definitely keep it for himself.

Let's keep it for now!

……

"What? You're not coming back to the sect with us?"

"Where are you going?"

The next day, Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at Su Mo with surprise as he suggested leaving.

"Su Mo, where are you going?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Su Mo in surprise. Su Mo hadn't told her he was leaving!

"Yes, Uncle Ning, I'm preparing to go to the City of Slaughter for training!"

This was the first time Su Mo had spoken of his plan to go to the City of Slaughter for training.

"What?"

"A city of slaughter?"

"No, that's too dangerous!"

Upon hearing that Su Mo actually planned to go to the City of Slaughter for training, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's expressions immediately changed, and they all disagreed.

How could they not know what the Killing Capital was?

"The Killing City, what kind of place is that?"

Only Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling were unaware of what the Killing Capital was.

However, seeing Ning Fengzhi and the others' strong opposition, they knew that it must be a very dangerous place.

"The City of Slaughter..."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's question, Ning Fengzhi immediately told her about the existence of the Killing City and its dangers.

The purpose was to allow Ning Rongrong to persuade Su Mo as well.

"Oh my god, that's so dangerous!"

"Su Mo..."

Upon learning that the Killing City was such a dangerous place, Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes immediately reddened, and she looked at Su Mo with tears in her eyes, expressing everything she wanted to say through her gaze.

"Rongrong, Uncle Ning, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, don't worry, I'm absolutely certain that I'm going to the City of Slaughter!"

Helpless, Su Mo could only begin to explain.

After the Eight Spider Lances evolved, Su Mo already had absolute confidence.

Moreover, Su Mo later awakened the power of spacetime, enabling him to use soul skills such as teleportation that were not restricted by the City of Slaughter.

The only thing that the City of Slaughter can restrict is Soul Rings and Soul Skills.

"Uncle Ning, you may not really believe in the existence of gods, but I do know that gods truly exist, and becoming a god at level 100 isn't just a legend!"

"Therefore, my cultivation goal has always been to break through level 100 and become a god!"

"To achieve this, I must become as strong as possible. The trials in the Killing City will allow me to take another step forward!"

"Therefore, I am determined to go to the Killing City, and I am absolutely confident that I will emerge from it!"

"The greatest danger in the City of Slaughter is that you can't use Soul Rings or Soul Skills!"

"Even without using spirit rings and spirit skills, my combat strength is extremely high, and I'm fully capable of breaking out of the City of Slaughter!"

"If you don't believe me, I can take on both Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone at the same time and prove my strength!"

"Of course, Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone, you can't use spirit rings or spirit skills either!"

Subsequently, Su Mo shared his ideals and life goals with Ning Rongrong and the others for the first time, and also spoke about his understanding of the Killing City.

Finally, he challenged both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo at the same time.

Ning Fengzhi and the others were greatly shocked after hearing Su Mo's words, only then realizing that Su Mo had always harbored such great ambitions.

Becoming a god at level 100 is something others consider legendary, but Su Mo has made it his goal.

"Alright, if you can defeat both me and Old Bones at the same time, then we'll let you win!"

Sword Douluo was shocked, but he also accepted Su Mo's challenge.
