Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 191 That's a God

Within the realm of ice and fire, Su Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

A deep blue longsword rested across his knees, while nine soul rings silently swirled beneath his feet.

If other powerful individuals were to observe from the side at this moment, they would notice that both his martial spirit and the spirit rings beneath his feet were in an extremely unstable state.

A powerful aura swept outwards in waves, then gradually receded, only to be replaced by an even stronger aura moments later, in a continuous cycle.

During this process, his own aura was constantly building up, and the long sword on his lap trembled silently.

That sword spirit of exceptional quality gave people an extremely contradictory feeling.

It is so sharp and powerful that it is hard to understand, yet it is as fragile as porcelain, as if it will shatter at any moment.

After a while, the terrifying aura emanating from Su Cheng began to gradually weaken and eventually subside, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He then took out a scroll from his robes and began to peruse it.

"This Great Sumeru Hammer is truly extraordinary. Tang Chen deserves to be called a peerless genius that is only seen once in a thousand years on the Douluo Continent."

The reason why the Clear Sky Sect was able to become the number one sect on the continent, and why the Clear Sky Hammer was able to have the reputation of being the number one weapon spirit in the world, can be said to be entirely due to the legacy of Tang Chen.

Without Tang Chen creating all those Haotian techniques, the Haotian Sect would never have reached its current level. Without the enhancement of those self-created soul skills, the Haotian Hammer would just be a powerful weapon spirit of excellent quality, on par with spirits like the Seven Kill Sword.

In Su Cheng's opinion, whether it was Tang San and Bibi Dong, who possessed twin martial souls, Qian Renxue, who had innate level 20 soul power, or Qian Daoliu and Poseidon, who were guardians of the gods, their talents were undoubtedly far inferior to Tang Chen's.

If not for bad luck, he would definitely have had a chance to become a god, and perhaps he wouldn't even have needed to inherit the divine position of his predecessors.

It has been more than half a year since Bibi Dong was promoted to Title Douluo.

For the past few months, the two of them have been mainly busy hunting soul beasts.

With the help of Su Cheng's powerful perception, he killed two 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbits and three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings that could resonate with his bloodline, raising Bibi Dong's Soul-Devouring Spider King to the sixth ring level.

At this point, Su Cheng voluntarily stopped adding spirit rings to her second spirit, and instead shared the information about the spirit beasts he had obtained from the previous simulations with her.

In the short term, Bibi Dong's body has reached its limit, and both her physical body and soul need to be recuperated.

Especially considering that the seventh spirit ring will bring the skill of the Martial Soul True Form, the Soul Devouring Spider King will undergo another qualitative change, so we cannot rush things.

Next, she needs to use her increased soul power cultivation to level 96, along with the four 100,000-year soul bones she acquired, to cultivate the Innate Technique to improve her foundation. Once her foundation is solid, she can continue to break through.

Su Cheng estimated that once Bibi Dong's second martial soul had all nine slots filled with spirit rings, her spirit power would reach around level ninety-eight. At that time, with the powerful talent of her twin martial souls, even if she couldn't defeat Poseidon, she would be able to keep her in check.

After that, Bibi Dong returned to the Spirit Hall alone, took over the papal power, and began to make a deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Su Cheng, on the other hand, went to the Haotian Sect alone to seek the secret technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer.

He wanted to learn from the principle of the exploding rings in Haotian's ultimate technique.

The operation went smoothly without any major incidents, but what made Su Cheng secretly wary was the presence of Tang San among the new generation of disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.

The other person's temperament was too special, and their soul aura was also different from others, so he found them very easily.

Moreover, that Tang San also possessed the talent of twin martial souls. However, this time, his second martial soul was not the Blue Silver Emperor, but another powerful plant-type martial soul.

After thinking it over, Su Cheng decided not to touch Tang San.

Aside from not wanting to lay a hand on a child, the most crucial factor was that the other party's appearance likely indicated there were other hidden motives behind the matter.

This simulation is almost over, there's no need to complicate things further, this information is enough.

After taking the Great Sumeru Hammer Secret Technique from Tang Tian, ​​Su Cheng left the Haotian Sect.

The process of obtaining the secret technique went extremely smoothly.

His strength was undeniable, and Tang Tian had no intention of resisting.

Secret techniques are static, but people are dynamic. Now, only one Soul Douluo-level elder remains in the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang Tian, ​​as the sect's only Title Douluo, is already struggling to hold the line alone.

Having served as sect leader for decades, he was clearly not a reckless man. It was only natural for him to back down when his strength was insufficient.

Having obtained the secret technique, Su Cheng went directly to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to study the energy of the Soul Rings and further improve the contents of the third volume of the Innate Skill. He stayed there for several months.

"Cheng Xue".

Just then, a beautiful figure flew in from outside the valley.

Su Cheng stood up and looked over; the person who had come was none other than Bibi Dong.

"I've brought you what you wanted."

As she spoke, her stunning figure landed in front of Su Cheng.

At this time, Bibi Dong's clothes had been changed into the exclusive attire of the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Against the backdrop of the papal robes and crown, he appeared to exude even more majesty and dignity than in the past.

Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it seemed that every time he saw this woman, her temperament was always changing.

She perfectly embodies the unique charm of a woman at every stage of her life.

However, the Bibi Dong in front of us looks more and more like her in real life, only less sinister and more composed and magnanimous.

She had no idea what Su Cheng was thinking at that moment.

Looking at Su Cheng, Bibi Dong's eyes revealed undisguised joy and affection. She then took out a brocade plate from her soul tool, covered with a red cloth, and placed the Vast Ocean Universe Cover inside.

"for you."

Su Cheng didn't stand on ceremony and took it from her, his expression becoming more serious.

As the red cloth was unveiled, a dazzling light immediately radiated outwards.

On the tray, a three-dimensional triangular blue soul tool rests quietly, its tip extremely sharp.

The soul tool was crystal clear, seemingly carved from a sapphire, and only the size of a palm. Its exterior was covered with water-like patterns, appearing as if naturally formed and lifelike, while its interior was filled with a blue radiance, constantly emitting strange energy fluctuations from within.

Su Cheng's expression turned serious the moment he saw it.

He had underestimated the strength of the Sea God's divine sense.

Perhaps because of its extraordinary nature, even after so much time has passed, the energy fluctuations within it still do not show much weakness or exhaustion.

Su Cheng's original plan was to test the waters first and see how his current power differed from divine power.

However, seeing this situation, he completely abandoned the idea of ​​first using his innate sword energy to fight against it.

The next moment, to Bibi Dong's astonishment, Su Cheng reached out and tossed the Heavenly Dou Empire's national treasure into the nearby Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

She never expected that Su Cheng would go through all that trouble to get this thing, only to throw it into that terrifying spring.

She knew perfectly well how terrifying the ice-fire spring next to them was.

Even with her current strength and physical condition, if she were to actually touch the spring water, she probably wouldn't be able to resist it for even a short while.

Even standing beside the spring, let alone entering it, the cold and heat toxins emanating from it constantly eroded her body.

Su Cheng paid no attention to Bibi Dong's changing expression, his eyes fixed on the Heart of the Sea God falling into the spring.

At the same time, the tidal domain spread out.

However, it did not touch the spring water, but instead permeated and enveloped the valley, stirring the streams of ice and fire spiritual energy that were constantly rising from the spring.

From the ground, the entire sky seemed to be transformed into an inverted red and blue dome of light beneath the blue waves of the sea, appearing magnificent and beautiful in the sunlight.

Su Cheng had already tried this before.

The extreme cold and heat in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring are extremely extreme. When the two meet, the resulting energy is even more terrifying. It is commonplace for it to melt gold and corrode bones. Unless it is compatible with its properties, other objects cannot survive for long.

Even with the innate power he had gathered, it was difficult to sustain, and it would be completely dissolved after a short while.

This extremely powerful ice and fire energy was also the source of his confidence in destroying the Heart of the Sea God.

As the vessel for the Sea God's divine will, the Heart of the Sea God is naturally extraordinary, and its divine power is far superior to the ordinary soul power of the Douluo Continent.

However, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is far more extraordinary. As the burial place of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, the source of power contained here far surpasses the divine thought of the Sea God in terms of level.

Even the Heart of the Sea God would be absolutely unable to withstand it.

Of course, relying solely on the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire is definitely not enough.

The Sea God's divine sense is not an inanimate object. Even if it is difficult to resist, it can carry the physical body away. At this time, it is necessary for him to take action to stop it.

As the Heart of the Sea God sank into the spring, it began to hiss and crackle within moments, the terrifying extreme environment rapidly eroding and destroying it.

The next moment, the previously calm spring water suddenly began to boil violently.

The cold and hot energies within the Yin-Yang Eye can easily erode even physical energy, so spiritual power naturally cannot penetrate it.

Even without relying on their mental powers to see, Su Cheng and Bibi Dong could clearly see the deep blue light shining through the water with their naked eyes.

Then, a deep blue, three-dimensional triangle, several times larger than the Heart of the Sea God, enveloped the original palm-sized gem and burst out of the water.

The light that had been blocked by the water ripples suddenly became countless times more dazzling.

Amidst the intense blue light, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the tip of the Heart of the Sea God, which then magnified in the air and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a golden phantom about three meters tall.

The shadowy figure was very blurry, and it could only be vaguely discerned as a human shape, making it impossible to see its true appearance.

"What is that?!"

Bibi Dong stared in horror at the golden figure above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.

The energy fluctuations of that illusory figure were not particularly strong, but they were extremely concentrated. Just one glance at it gave one a sense of deadly threat.

It was as if that figure could separate her head from her body with just a slight movement.

She never had this feeling, not even when she was weak; it was a difference in the level of life.

Just like when an insect sees a bird, even if the bird is old and dying and has little strength left, it will still make the insect feel a tremor from the depths of its soul.

"That is God."

Su Cheng remained expressionless, his eyes fixed on the golden figure in mid-air.

But from his slightly tense posture, Bibi Dong knew that Su Cheng was also extremely nervous and vigilant. "God?!"

"It's just a thought of a god." Su Cheng's aura subsided and he spoke in a low, solemn voice, "Later, you only need to use the Soul Devouring Domain from a distance to interfere with it. Do not enter the battlefield."

Without time to explain in detail, he gave a word of advice and then transformed into a streak of sword light, flying into the sky.

After the Sea God's divine sense appeared, he did not immediately pay attention to the two people on the shore. Instead, he first looked down at the ice and fire spring at his feet, and then glanced at the spiritual energy domain that enveloped the sky.

Then he turned to look at Su Cheng, who was holding a long sword.

A calm, aged voice rang out, echoing through the valley, "Do you know what you're doing?"

Su Cheng did not answer, but silently observed the situation.

He wasn't in a hurry if the other party didn't make a move.

This divine thought is like water without a source; every time it is used, it is consumed. The longer it drags on, the more advantageous it will be for him.

Destroying the Heart of the Sea God is the ultimate goal, but there are many ways to achieve it.

One way is to use the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to melt it, and another is to find an opportunity to exhaust its power.

If nothing unexpected happens, the thought left behind by the sea god should be able to communicate with the main body of the divine realm.

Everything that is happening here and now will eventually be exposed to the sea god.

But it's not a big problem.

Not to mention the vast difference in the flow of time between the two realms, making it impossible for the physical body to receive information transmitted by divine thought at any time. Even if the gods in the divine realm truly wanted to descend to the mortal realm, it wouldn't be that simple.

The difficulty lies not only in the constraints imposed by the so-called Divine Council, but also in the barriers at the rule level; otherwise, those gods would not be able to abide by the rules so strictly.

As far as Su Cheng knew, the existence of the God Realm would allow those who could break through from various planes to enter it. However, even if these people broke through their original planes, they would still be subject to the constraints of the universe's rules.

So-called gods are simply humans who have broken through the limitations of dimensional rules. After achieving this breakthrough, they are also subject to the suppression of the universe's rules. Only within the realm of gods can the two be separated.

Therefore, the divine realm is both a constraint and a protection for the gods.

Once a deity leaves the divine realm, they can only rely on their divine position to protect themselves. If they exceed the time limit, they will be subject to the powerful suppression of the laws of the universe and may be completely destroyed in the universe.

Even a god cannot defy the rules of the entire universe.

If the sea god really disregards the rules of the divine realm and the danger to himself and forcibly descends to the mortal world, then he can only accept it.

However, Su Cheng felt that this possibility was very small. If a first-level god were to personally intervene, he would have no room to maneuver, and the mission would have been impossible to complete.

Even if we find other ways to delegate the task of destroying the Heart of the Sea God, we will still face the same risk when we go to destroy the Sea God Mountain in the future. We will also miss the opportunity to fight against divine thoughts, which would be a loss.

In his estimation, the worst-case scenario was that Poseidon would sacrifice himself as a bridge to communicate with the sea god, causing the other party to take action across the land of inheritance.

On the other side, Bibi Dong stood at a distance, looking nervously at the two figures confronting each other in mid-air, her heart filled with turmoil.

PS1: I've been a bit busy these past few days, so I'll have to update less for now. I'm going to have drinks tomorrow, and that'll be it. I'll make up for the missed updates within the next two weeks.

PS2: The rules of the universe restrict gods from leaving the God Realm; this is a setting in the original work. A god's position can protect them from the constraints of the universe's rules for a very short time, but exceeding this time limit will result in direct suppression and death. Therefore, in the later installments of Douluo Continent, Tang San always tries to control the Douluo Continent through other means.
