Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 140 The God of Asura's Doubts

After relaxing and resting for a while, Ning Feili touched the remaining corpse of Hu Da.

Unfortunately, this ordinary Soul King with poorly matched Soul Rings did not have a single Soul Bone drop from him.

He chuckled to himself, realizing that he wasn't a chosen one like Tang San or Huo Qubing.

Tang San casually killed a thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider. In a fit of extreme rage, he tortured and abused the human-faced demon spider, which unexpectedly resulted in the emergence of an external soul bone.

Killing a Soul Saint like Shi Nian yielded a head Soul Bone. Even killing a wolf bandit who was neither human nor beast, and whose cultivation was at most that of a Soul Emperor, yielded a Soul Bone.

Huo Guanna had incredible opportunities delivered to his doorstep. First, there was the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, then the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm kidnapped the Ice Emperor, and then he encountered the Necromancer Saint God of the other world, Ilex. After that, the Ice Emperor, the Imperial Beast, and the Mermaid Princess all came to him one after another.

These "chosen ones" are characterized by the fact that they don't need to work very hard to obtain resources and opportunities.

Ning Feiliu is working herself to the bone, but she still hasn't obtained a single soul bone.

However... the resurrection rune fragments he obtained through the cheat were definitely no weaker than the so-called soul bones.

Moreover, the runes don't seem to take up much space, and the percentage increase effect of the Revival Rune Fragment is definitely no worse than the so-called external soul bone, or even the so-called 100,000-year soul bone.

However, although Hu Da's corpse did not yield any soul bones, Ning Feiliu found something quite unexpected in his soul tool.

A detailed map of the Heaven Dou Empire...

The most crucial thing is not the map itself, but the place marked on it—the Killing City.

When Ning Feiliu saw the Killing City marked in the center of the map, along with the detailed terrain and routes nearby, she knew that Hu Da most likely intended to go to Killing City after killing her and Ye Lingling.

Perhaps in his eyes, the Killing Capital was a no-man's land that neither the two great empires nor the Spirit Hall could control, a holy land for murderers and degenerates like them.

Little did he know that with his strength, entering the Killing City would either mean being killed or becoming a degenerate beggar, barely surviving.

In short, in a place like the City of Slaughter, although everyone is restricted in their use of soul power and soul rings, they can only use the most basic abilities of their martial soul.

However, strength remains the dominant factor there.

There are even Fallen Ones at the Contra Level there, and not just one or two. Fallen Ones at the Contra Level may not be able to use their Soul Power and Soul Skills, and their strength is greatly reduced.

However, it should be noted that increasing one's soul power level can, to a certain extent, enhance a soul master's original physical attributes.

Therefore, Fallen Ones at the Contra level possess immense strength and speed, and will undoubtedly remain formidable powerhouses.

If they hadn't encountered someone like Third Brother, who was skilled in using hidden weapons, maneuvering, and possessed top-tier martial arts techniques, they wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

Ning Feiliu shook his head; the City of Slaughter held no meaning for him.

High risk, low reward, why go there?

First of all, in the Killing City, you have to fight intensely every day and guard against other people's sneak attacks. Your mental state is under constant tension, and you can't even get a good night's sleep.

Moreover, the risk is too great. Who can guarantee that they won't crash and burn in the Killing City?

It's like asking you to play ranked matches intensely every day and ensure a 100% win rate throughout the entire season... Without a professional player's win rate team with you, can you guarantee that you won't lose a single game?

Ning Feiliu didn't want to take the risk, since he didn't have a "God of Slaughter" father or the God of Law Enforcement, Shura God, watching over him.

Secondly, taking such a huge risk, going through the experiment in the City of Slaughter, and having to guard against the irrational Tang Chen turning against him, the only reward is a God of Slaughter Domain?

Ha ha.

Although the Killing God Domain is supposedly a sign of accepting the inheritance of the Asura God, Ning Feiliu doesn't think the Asura God would be willing to give up the divine position that was originally intended for his third brother.

The original storyline already made Tang San's time travel highly suspicious.

A soul from another world transmigrates to a world overseen by countless gods, especially since this world is the home of the Asura God.

Of the five great law enforcement gods, goodness, evil, destruction, and life are all primordial deities, while only the Asura God is a human god who ascended from the lower realm.

It would be strange if he didn't care about his hometown, Douluo Continent. A soul from another world transmigrated here. Wasn't he worried that this guy was some kind of extraterrestrial demon who would turn his hometown upside down?

Therefore, it is highly likely that the God of Asura actually knew about Tang San's soul's transmigration and even arranged it.

Otherwise, how could it be that Tang San just happened to be Tang Chen's great-grandson, leading to Tang Chen voluntarily giving up the Asura Demon Sword to Tang San?

Old Deng, who was thinking of running away as soon as possible, later gave the Asura God's inheritance to Tang San, helped Tang San revive, and even told the Sea God that he was making reasonable use of the rules.

It can only be said that the God of Asura clearly planned this all along...

However, thinking about this, Ning Feiliu was also very curious. Would his transmigration be known to the gods in the divine realm?

If these gods know about him, then could he be someone's pawn?

Ning Feiliu felt a little heavy-hearted. The thought that there was someone in the God Realm watching him right now made him feel very uncomfortable.

However, he thought about the cheat code he possessed...

Perhaps I possess this cheat that I don't know why it appeared and doesn't seem to be a system cheat, and it wasn't discovered by the Douluo God Realm?

He shook his head, banishing these unnecessary thoughts from his mind. There was no point in thinking about them now; the most important thing was for him to continue improving his strength.

Only with sufficient strength can he explore the possible truth.

After pondering these issues for a while, Ning Feiliu ended her rest and took Ye Lingling to search for the severely injured Azure Scale Flying Fish again.

The blue-scaled flying fish was severely injured and couldn't go very far.

However... what he was more worried about was that this heavily injured Azure Scale Flying Fish would be snatched away by other Soul Masters.

……

The clouds and mist are ever-changing, sometimes like rolling waves, sometimes like a serene beauty. Each change is unpredictable, but it brings people more beauty and awe.

Dense primordial energy of heaven and earth lingered in the clouds and mist. In this illusory space, everything around was filled with a hazy, dreamlike color.

A figure completely enveloped in dark red magical runes slowly stood in the massive blood-red temple.

A dark red light surrounded his body, obscuring his appearance. Only a faint outline of his armor, covered in dark red magical runes, could be seen.

"It's strange... Why do I feel some strange fluctuations in the barrier of the lower realm?" The Asura God frowned. The most crucial thing was that in just a short while, the fluctuations disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't find them at all.

One year on earth is equivalent to one day in heaven.

It has only been a day since the world barrier of the Douluo World started to fluctuate, and he can no longer find that fluctuation.

This almost made him think it was his imagination.

He thought for a moment, then strode out of the Crimson Temple and found it in the realm of gods…

Kind God King.

After all, the figures of the two god-kings were still very obvious.

Within a massive white pillar of light, a figure could only be vaguely discerned as humanoid, its size—whether it was a hundred meters, a thousand meters, or ten thousand meters tall—was visible.

"Shura?" The Kind God King looked at him with some curiosity. "He's here to see me?"

"Hmm... Kindness, have you sensed any fluctuations in the lower realm recently?" the Asura God asked.

"The lower realm? No, I haven't sensed any powerful beings crossing the world barrier," the Kind God-King said with a smile.

"Is that so... It seems I was just imagining things." The God of Asura shook his head and said.

"Sorry to bother you, kind sir," he said, then turned and left.

The benevolent god-king looked at him with a puzzled expression, shook his head, and said, "Shura has really been... getting stranger and stranger lately. He seems to be a little too concerned about the lower realms."

What she and the evil spirits noticed was that after the battle with the Dragon God, the Asura God had been spying on the lower realm more and more frequently. He even personally arranged for a soul from another world to descend to the lower realm, possess a body, and devour a newly born soul...

After all, the God of Kindness and the God of Evil are the two strongest original gods in the Douluo God Realm. It turns out that only they can be called God Kings.

The God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, and the God of Asura, although they are all law enforcement gods in the divine realm, are definitely far inferior to the two of them in terms of strength.

However, after the Dragon God War, the Asura Demon Sword in the hands of the Asura God seems to have been upgraded to a super artifact. His strength now seems to be on par with the Good God King and the Evil God King, or even stronger than them.

But it seems that because of this, the Kind God King always felt that the Asura God's mind was increasingly elsewhere from the divine realm...

However, he always seemed uneasy whenever there was any disturbance in the lower realm, and this time he even came to ask her about it.

That's really...strange...

……

"Lingling, come on." Ning Feiliu took out a long sword from her soul tool, sat on the dying Azure Scale Flying Fish, and personally controlled the Azure Scale Flying Fish while smiling and gesturing to Ye Lingling.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened after that.

Despite being severely injured, the Azure Scale Flying Fish was neither intercepted nor killed by other soul beasts, and ultimately did not escape.

After all, Sunset Forest is insignificant compared to the much larger Star Dou Great Forest, which has a greater variety of soul beasts.

Most people prefer to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, so apart from Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling, no other soul masters come to hunt soul beasts in Sunset Forest.

Ye Lingling immediately stepped forward and took the longsword from Ning Feiliu's hand.

"Aim here, this is its brain's central nervous system. If you insert it just one meter in and destroy its brain, it will die immediately." Ning Feiliu took out a charcoal pencil and drew a cross on the brain's central nervous system of the Azure Scale Flying Fish, and said.

As a human and a soul master, his attitude towards soul beasts was that while he didn't sympathize with them, he also didn't intend to torture or kill them for amusement.

He killed the spirit beasts simply for the spirit rings.

Since we have no grudge against it, it's better to give the soul beast a quick death.

However, for Ye Lingling's sake, he didn't actually give the Azure Scale Flying Fish a quick death. Instead, he beat it until it was barely alive before letting Ye Lingling personally finish it off.

"Alright." Ye Lingling showed no mercy and, without saying a word, plunged her longsword directly into the brain center of the Azure Scale Flying Fish.

The Azure Flying Fish, already on the verge of death from Ning Feiliu's torment, did not unleash a fierce struggle at the moment of its death. Instead, it let out a whimper and then lost all signs of life.

Purple energy swirled around it like smoke, and then a purple millennium soul ring slowly condensed.

Ye Lingling didn't need Ning Feiliu to say anything more. She simply sat cross-legged on the spot, summoned her martial soul, and began to absorb the soul rings.

During this process, Ye Lingling's pretty face frequently showed expressions of pain.

However, Ning Feiliu remained calm. In his perception, Ye Lingling's body was still holding up and there was no way she was in any danger.

It's just that she's a support-type Soul Master, so her physical attributes are a bit weak.

As a first-class soul beast that can barely be considered top-tier, even though the Azure Scale Flying Fish has just broken through the thousand-year limit, its soul ring power is much greater than that of an ordinary thousand-year soul ring.

Therefore, it is quite normal that Ye Lingling's absorption process was uneventful.

During this time, Ning Feiliu teased Xiao Jiu a little more.

After the incident with Hu Da, he felt even more strongly that Xiao Jiu might have a miraculous effect in future battles.

Most importantly, in life-or-death situations like this, Xiao Jiu can really be a great help.

In ordinary battles, Ning Feiliu disdained to ask Xiao Jiu for help.

Why resort to such despicable tactics as poisoning in a normal, aboveboard battle? How utterly shameless!

Especially since his martial soul isn't a poison-type martial soul like Dugu Bo or Dugu Yan's, secretly poisoning someone during battle would be a despicable tactic.

"Little Jiu, Little Jiu... What a pity, you're not a soul beast. If you were, that would be so much better... I would have helped you become a god and taken you to the God Realm." Ning Feiliu said with a smile, tapping Little Jiu's head.

He didn't discriminate against soul beasts much, but he wasn't so overly compassionate that he cared for the entire soul beast community.

He even thought that Tang Dachuizi's actions in protecting his wife, A Yin, were right.

It's just a bit too stupid.

The Spirit Hall's act of killing Ah Yin was completely wrong. Qian Xunji's pursuit of Ah Yin was only to give Bibi Dong's second spirit a 100,000-year spirit ring.

The buttocks aren't even that straight.

Ah Yin is indeed a soul beast, but she didn't kill any humans. Is she guilty just because she's a soul beast?

That doesn't make sense.

Moreover, on a larger scale, she's Tang Hao's wife, so of course he should protect her.

Let alone his wife, even Tang Hao's pets are his personal property. He hasn't broken the law, and his pets haven't hurt or killed anyone. So what right does the Spirit Hall have to righteously judge Tang Hao and Ah Yin?

So, from a perspective that avoids unwarranted criticism, Tang Hao did nothing wrong.

He was just too stupid. He knew his wife was a soul beast, but he still took her out and exposed Ah Yin's identity.

The crucial point is that Ah Yin was pregnant at the time, almost due, and instead of returning to the sect to prepare for childbirth, she continued to roam around outside... really...

Even though the Clear Sky Sect didn't like Ah Yin's soul beast identity, to be honest, Tang Hao's father was the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect at the time, and also a titled Douluo, probably the strongest titled Douluo of their generation.

If his father accepts Ah Yin, who in the Haotian Sect would dare to disobey?

Moreover, before the Spirit Hall attacked the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Sect probably didn't hate Ah Yin that much.

The resistance to accepting Ah Yin should not be as great as the resistance to Tang San's later recognition of his ancestors.

Besides, these are things his father can decide directly; old people are all stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.

Even if Tang Hao's father disliked Ah Yin, could he really be so heartless as to let Tang Hao wander outside with Ah Yin, who was pregnant with Tang San, after his most talented and highly anticipated youngest son pleaded with him repeatedly?

Tang Hao is the successor of the Haotian Douluo from a previous generation; he is the only one who has mastered the Haotian Douluo's cultivation technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Ah Yin is neither an enemy of the Clear Sky Sect nor a descendant of Tang Hao's father's enemy. As long as Tang Hao softens his stance, even if it's like Tang San, who flexibly and thoughtfully admits his mistakes before being given a title and after being given one, he can easily make Tang Hao admit his mistakes.

Then neither he nor Ah Yin would be hunted down by the Spirit Hall outside, and Ah Yin would not be forced to sacrifice herself for Tang Hao in the end.

All I can say is that Tang Hao's stance on protecting his wife was correct, but he was just too stupid.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu dislikes fools. At least bad people know what they are doing and what is right, and they would never ruin what they are supposed to do.

However, such an underdeveloped idiot will only do good deeds but end up doing bad things, harming not only himself but also a group of people around him.

Tang Hao is the best example. The result of his actions was that his wife died, his sect was attacked by the Spirit Hall army, not only were more than half of his fellow clansmen killed or injured, but his father was also angered to death. The huge Clear Sky Sect was forced to close its gates, losing face to the extreme.

It's fortunate that he had such a good son as Tang San; otherwise, he would have surely died in despair, burdened by guilt and condemnation, and would never have become the world's ruler, Tang Hao.

Putting aside other things, even after becoming a god, Tang San still managed to sever his own daughter's soul, embezzle Huo Gua's opportunities, and display astonishing wisdom in his grand plan spanning ten thousand years.

But no matter how miserable or miserable other people in Douluo Continent and Douluo God Realm are, his family's descendants are all renowned and exceptionally powerful.

This is the advantage of being bad but not stupid. In the original story, he plucked all of Dugu Bo's immortal herbs, occupied Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes without saying a word, swallowed the bloodline of the Dragon God, took away the soul of the Emperor Beast, and arranged for Tang Wutong to absorb most of Huo Gua's spiritual power and soul power, and so on.

However, Tang Shenwang's family grew to a great power, becoming the most powerful in the divine realm, and his name was still praised by everyone.

So what if countless people in the Douluo Continent die because of his extraordinary wisdom?

Unlike Tang Hao, whose Clear Sky Sect was left half-dead, Tang Shenwang's family became the undisputed number one family in the Douluo World, a god clan with an unbroken lineage for almost ten thousand generations!

It will be explained later that the cheat system is something the protagonist creates for themselves, so don't worry. There's no behind-the-scenes manipulator controlling the protagonist; this will be explained in the finale.
