The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 236 Is it possible that I'm being used as a backup soul ring?

Upon hearing this roar filled with endless fury, the previously cheerful atmosphere among the group vanished.

"You worthless wretch, proceed according to the previously established plan." After Sword Douluo finished speaking, the Seven Kill Sword instantly swelled, carrying him swiftly towards the Azure Bull Python.

In order to ensure that Li Xun can safely absorb the spirit ring, they must keep him at a distance to prevent the aftermath of the battle from affecting him.

Poison Douluo was in high spirits at this moment. He had just broken through to level 95 and his martial soul had evolved. He needed a battle to test his strength.

Summoning his martial soul, a giant, jet-black python, twenty or thirty meters long with a hint of green, appeared before everyone. Dugu Bo gracefully landed on the snake's head and chased after Sword Douluo.

Bloodstain and Serpent Spear exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion and inquiry in each other's eyes.

The two of them had sensed something earlier, but they hadn't expected that the old man had actually broken through to level 95, and it seemed that his martial soul had also evolved.

In order to achieve future hegemony, the Spirit Hall secretly collected a lot of information.

Aside from some truly hidden powerhouses, people like Dugu Bo, who might pose a threat, will inevitably appear on the Spirit Hall's list.

As someone who counters Dugu Bo's martial soul, Ci Xue naturally had some detailed knowledge of Dugu Bo. However, through analysis, it was clear that the opponent was no match for him.

At the time, I didn't pay much attention to the bloodletting.

But things are different now. This old man has entered the Super Douluo realm, and his Martial Soul no longer seems to be the Azure Serpent Emperor.

With three Super Douluo in one sect, isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School too strong now? Wouldn't that mean I'd become the bottom of the titled Douluo sect? A sense of urgency suddenly arose in Blood Thorn Douluo's heart.

Filled with emotion, the Bloodthirsty Spear and the Serpent Spear soared into the sky.

To avoid any mishaps, the task of protecting Li Xun will be undertaken by Bone Douluo.

After seven or eight years, his soul power is now almost at level ninety-seven, and he is only one opportunity away from breaking through.

The Bone Douluo's aura suddenly spread out, and a powerful pressure enveloped all directions, intimidating the soul beasts lurking in the shadows.

At this moment, within his spiritual sea, Li Xun lay on the Titan Giant Ape, biting off a large chunk of its spiritual power and swallowing it greedily.

The Titan Ape, not to be outdone, continued to pound Li Xun on his back with its fists. However, due to Li Xun's extremely difficult position, its striking points were clearly affected, and it did not cause much harm.

As the spiritual energy entered his stomach, Li Xun felt a surge of energy and immediately accelerated his absorption.

Not only did his spiritual sea gain the upper hand, but Li Xun's physical condition also improved.

Unlike the horrific process of absorbing the Blue Silver King, which required him to blast off his arms and legs to dissipate the raging energy, he also experienced Xiao Wu's selfless sacrifice, resulting in a significant increase in his physical abilities.

Although the power of a 100,000-year-old soul beast has undergone a qualitative change, how could Li Xun not have made progress?

The swelling in his body slowly returned to normal, and the damaged tissues began to heal themselves with the help of Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and Wood Release.

Although there is still energy running rampant in the body, it is only a matter of time before it is absorbed.

At this moment, Sword Douluo and Azure Bull Python had already met.

"It's you!" The Azure Bull Python looked at the Sword Douluo blocking its way and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

Then, a thought struck him, and he remembered something from many years ago: "I heard Erming calling out; it turns out you brought people in to hunt us down!"

"Slow Domain!" the Azure Bull Python roared, its body radiating a dark green light.

Sword Douluo had fought it in his early years and was naturally familiar with the soul beast's abilities: "Third Soul Skill, Sword Wings Soaring."

The Seven Kill Sword hummed continuously, and as Sword Douluo injected soul power, its speed increased dramatically, instantly breaking free from the Azure Bull Python's domain.

Unlike humans, soul beasts cultivate for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. It would be too simplistic to define the strength of a soul beast solely by its soul power and energy.

Even among experts of the same level, there are differences in strength, which is more in line with the differences between beasts that have cultivated for tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

This involves differences in bloodline and talent, but most importantly, it depends on who the opponent is.

Just like Dugu Bo before, who can he surpass as a title holder?

Sword Douluo stood in the air, his white robes fluttering wildly in the wind.

Although the Azure Bull Python could unleash a combat power of 97 with its level 96 strength, it was still no match for him. If there were no external interference and the battle continued, Sword Douluo was confident that he could kill its opponent.

The reason we didn't achieve anything last time was simply because we were too close to Li Xun absorbing his spirit ring, and he had the Titan Giant Ape as an ally.

But now the situation has reversed.

Swish swish—

Three whooshing sounds rang out, and Dugu Bo and his companion, carrying the Blood-Piercing Serpent Spear, instantly appeared not far from the Azure Bull Python.

Sensing the fluctuations of their soul power, the Azure Bull Python felt a chill run down its spine. Their arrival seemed to spell death for Erming.

"Roar~"

The Azure Bull Python roared mournfully to the sky, its enormous eyes instantly shrouded in a thin mist.

Knowing it was no match for the four opponents, it quickly retreated.

"What should we do?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The retreat of the Azure Bull Python caught everyone off guard. Thorn Blood and Serpent Spear immediately looked towards Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo hadn't expected the soul beast to be so decisive, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes: "Drive it further away to prevent it from sneaking back."

After saying that, the Seven Kill Sword's speed increased dramatically, and it chased after the enemy.

While killing the Azure Bull Python here and obtaining a 100,000-year-old soul bone would be gratifying, Li Xun is still short of eleven soul rings.

The child had already made a start, and Sword Douluo knew that with Li Xun's ambition, in his future martial soul planning, he would probably not even give a second glance to any soul beast with a cultivation level lower than 100,000 years.

It's good to leave behind a Azure Bull Python that I can easily defeat, since it's easier to absorb.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall's promise to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring is a one-of-a-kind event.

However, even if the other party agreed to help, they still couldn't rest easy.

The four people and one beast sped along like lightning.

The Azure Bull Python continued to unleash its skills, with annihilation lightning constantly raining down from the sky. It also unleashed a series of sluggish divine claws, but this did nothing to slow down the four's pursuit.

Through the attacks of these four people, the Azure Bull Python could tell that they had no intention of hunting it. However, this only made it angrier.

Could it be that he's keeping himself as a backup spirit ring?

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Bull Python, which suddenly turned its head and spat out a water column several feet thick.

The water column was incredibly powerful, and Sword Douluo and the others quickly dodged it.

The massive torrent of water topped towering trees and left patches of bare earth. Although the water column did not hit anyone, it caused enormous damage to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing that its attack had failed, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Azure Bull Python.

We'll have to try it in the lake!

Once the Azure Bull Python identified its location, it quickly moved towards the central lake of the Starry Sky Forest.

Ever since it and Erming occupied the central lake, the Azure Bull Python has realized that something seems off about this place.

Because no matter how far it dives, once it reaches a certain depth, it will encounter an invisible barrier that keeps it out and prevents it from seeing the bottom of the lake.
