Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

We must cultivate good relations with them.

"Sure, I'll take you there."

Tian Hao did not refuse, still appearing completely innocent and without a trace of guile.

Goodbye, everyone, I'll come visit you again next time.

Tian Hao waved to the herd of earth elephants and walked out of the valley, while the earth elephants raised their trunks and bellowed, bidding Tian Hao farewell.

This scene greatly shocked Hu Yanzhen and the others, as it was the first time they had seen a group of soul beasts interact with human soul masters in this way, which further confirmed their previous guesses.

That kid must have grown up in the Sunset Forest, which is why he can get along so harmoniously with the soul beasts.

What followed confirmed their suspicions, as the spirit beasts along the way were all very docile towards that person. One ten-thousand-year-old Vajra Tiger even came over and rubbed its big head against him, appearing very affectionate.

After sending away the ten-thousand-year-old Vajra Tiger by sending out a wisp of life-giving divine power, Tian Hao continued to lead the way, while Hu Yanzhen finally couldn't help but ask questions.

"Jinlun, how old are you this year?"

"How big?"

"It's about age."

"What is age? Is it soul power level?"

"Uh... how many years have you lived since you were born?"

What is "year"?

"Well... how should I put it? There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In spring, trees and flowers sprout; in summer, it gets very hot; in autumn, many trees lose their leaves and dry up; and in winter, it snows—those little ice crystals, it's very cold..."

Hu Yanzhen patiently explained, while Tian Hao looked like he had never seen the world before. In the end, he did the math and gave an answer of eighteen years old, which made Hu Yanmeng and the others even more doubtful of life.

They just lost to this thing?

However, the fact that he was eighteen years old spurred them on. But when they thought that he only had Soul Master level Soul Power, they felt relieved, and then they felt even more upset.

At eighteen, a Soul Master, he utterly defeated a group of Soul Kings in their twenties, leaving them with almost no chance to fight back.

Is the Vajra Dragon Elephant Martial Soul really that powerful?

"Don't overthink it. He's using all his own created soul skills, which allow him to unleash his full potential, even beyond his limits. This is far beyond what our soul ring skills can achieve."

Seeing the disappointment of Hu Yanmeng and the others, Hu Yankai offered words of comfort, but inwardly he couldn't help but think of that person from Huanyin Academy.

After witnessing that guy's true strength during the preliminaries, he was in a similar mental state to Hu Yanmeng and the others, and they were all so shocked that they doubted their lives. It was only with his father's guidance that he was able to pull himself out of it.

"Your grandfather lived in the middle of Sunset Forest?"

Hu Yanzhen suddenly stopped and swallowed hard before asking.

Because he saw a colossal creature, which, judging from its size and aura of soul power, was undoubtedly a soul beast of the 100,000-year level.

In other words, they have truly entered the inner area of ​​Sunset Forest. Could it be that the senior lives in the inner area?

"At this pace, we should arrive in about three more days."

After giving a casual reply, Tian Hao continued walking briskly.

"Three days, that's definitely in the very center. Just how strong is that person?"

After calculating the speed and distance, Hu Yanzhen's heart trembled. That person must be a Super Douluo, otherwise they would not be able to survive in the middle of Sunset Forest.

He even noticed that the 100,000-year-old soul beast only glanced at them, its gaze lingering briefly on the young man walking ahead before ignoring him, clearly indicating that it recognized him.

Did that senior defeat all the 100,000-year-old soul beasts here?

"It's going to rain, we need to speed things up."

Just as Hu Yanzhen was about to ask a question, Tian Hao, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, observed for a while, and then spoke.

Without waiting for Hu Yanzhen and the others to respond, he sped forward.

"Follow!"

Huyan Zhen called out to the people behind him and also hurried forward.

Hu Yankai and the others could only use their martial spirits to speed up and keep up. Fortunately, Tian Hao had shown mercy in the previous battle, and the members of the Elephant Armor Sect were all thick-skinned and tough. Even Hu Yankai, who was the most seriously injured, could still run and jump, so keeping up was not difficult.

Chapter 335 Lightning Body Refinement

They rushed through the territory of several 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and finally arrived at the edge of an abyss amidst the fear and trepidation of Hu Yanzhen and the others.

It was a huge rift valley, bottomless, like the abyss in legends.

"Old man, I'm back, and I've brought a group of big, clumsy elephants from the Elephant Armor Sect with me."

Tian Hao stood at the edge of the deep valley and shouted down. This was a place they had arranged long ago, and the Demon-Slaying Douluo was below.

As the words were spoken, a moment later a vast dragon's might swept up from below. The immense pressure caused Hu Yankai and the others to kneel on the spot. Even Hu Yanzhen could not withstand it for long, his face filled with horror.

He knew about Dragon Might, a power unique to dragon-type soul masters. Even in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, not many people could awaken this special power. Moreover, this Dragon Might was abnormally strong, and the soul pressure fused within it was also frighteningly strong.

You should know that even he couldn't see the bottom of this deep valley; it was at least a thousand meters deep.

The fact that someone could exert such terrifying pressure from a distance of over a thousand meters speaks volumes about their strength.

He is definitely not just a simple Super Douluo; he may have reached level 98.

Thinking of this, Hu Yanzhen became excited.

If they could persuade this powerful figure to come out of seclusion and take charge of their Elephant Armor Sect, they could immediately challenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect for the title of the number one beast spirit sect in the world and become one of the new top three sects.

This has been their long-cherished wish for many years.

The dragon's might and soul pressure came and went quickly, allowing Hu Yanzhen and the others to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Hu Yankai and the others were drenched in cold sweat, demonstrating the terror of that dragon's might.

"The old man is in seclusion cultivating and has no interest in seeing you."

Turning around, Tian Hao shrugged, indicating that they had come at the wrong time.

"What is that senior's current soul power level...?"

Suppressing his excitement, Hu Yanzhen asked.

"The old man is already level 99 and is currently trying to break through to the level 100 god level, but he says his chances are slim."

He remained very honest, but this time Tian Hao didn't lie. The Demon-Slaying Douluo below was indeed level 99 and was currently consolidating his realm, striving to become a level 100 god.

However, the Demon-Slaying Douluo's aptitude is somewhat lacking. Even though his current soul power level is partly due to the Angel God Trial, it is much more difficult for him to break through to the level 100 God. He cannot do it on his own. In the future, he can only take that step by relying on the Thunder Tribulation system.

"Level 99!"

"Become a god!"

Hu Yanzhen and the others gasped. They knew that the changes in the world had brought about tremendous changes to Soul Masters, making it easier to break through, but the words "level ninety-nine" and "becoming a god" were just too shocking.

However, when he thought about the potential of the Vajra Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, he felt it was only natural.

The Earth Sect's reputation is well-deserved; its martial soul potential is even stronger than that of the Upper Three Sects. For example, every generation of the Seven Kill Sword lineage can produce a Super Douluo, and many have reached level 98.

Even the previous sect leader, Chen Jianjun, and the current Sword Douluo, Chen Xin, have both reached level ninety-nine.

As one of the earth sects that existed over a thousand years ago, it's quite normal for the Vajra Sect to reach level ninety-nine by taking advantage of the changes in heaven and earth.

"Rumble..."

"I'm going to cultivate now. You all find a place to rest on your own, but don't stray too far, or those big guys won't recognize you."

After glancing at the dark clouds with rolling thunder, Tian Hao's expression turned serious. He called out to Hu Yanzhen and the others and then ran towards a mountain peak not far away.

"Follow!"

With a glint in his eyes, Hu Yanzhen quickly followed, as did Hu Yankai and the others, who were also curious about that person's cultivation.

On the other side, Tian Hao ran to the top of the mountain, took out a special soul tool from his storage soul tool, and used his soul power to activate it to rise into the sky, while also pulling a thin line made of special metal.

This special metal is highly compatible with lightning-attribute soul power and has strong electrical conductivity. Although it is only as thin as a hair, it is strong enough to withstand lightning in nature.

Of course, this only applies to lightning in nature. If it's a lightning tribulation, this thing will melt instantly, but it's enough for Tian Hao's current lightning-attracting cultivation.

There's no other way; the reason it's made so slender is mainly because the soul guide for airborne flight isn't strong enough to support the weight. If the wires were made thicker, it wouldn't be able to ascend as high.

That soul tool was no ordinary device either. It was specially crafted using the soul tool technology currently mastered by the Spirit Hall. In addition to having the ability to take off, it also had a lightning-attribute soul bone embedded inside, which could better attract lightning from the thunderclouds to strike down.

As the soul tool ascended into the sky, it quickly attracted the lightning in the thunderclouds. A beam of blazing white lightning struck the soul tool, was guided down by the wires, and transformed into golden light.

In the eyes of Hu Yanzhen and the others, the lightning was like a golden pillar of light, extremely dazzling.

On the other side, Tian Hao held the wire and used his torso soul bone skill, Vajra Dragon Elephant Possession, and even used a knock-off version of the Golden Bell Shield to trap his body inside.

The golden lightning attached to the wire was blocked and dispersed by the Golden Bell Shield and temporarily stored up. Tian Hao used his Vajra Soul Power as a guide to slowly guide it into his body to cleanse it, while at the same time he used his Qi and Blood Power to resist and assist in tempering his body.

He had proposed this imaginative concept of lightning body tempering long ago, and Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to try it out and figure out some tricks. At the same time, lightning body tempering is indeed very beneficial for stimulating blood and qi cultivation, and can make blood and qi as active as possible.

However, the human body is too fragile, especially the internal organs. Currently, only Golden Crocodile Douluo in the Spirit Hall can directly guide the Thunder Pool of Thunder Valley for cultivation. Others can at most attract ordinary lightning in nature.

Tian Hao was even worse; he couldn't even withstand ordinary lightning.

Fortunately, he has the Body Bone skill to strengthen his body, especially to protect his internal organs. In addition, the Golden Bell Shield disperses and stores the lightning, allowing him to slowly guide his cultivation and maintain it at the limit that he can bear.

When lightning enters the body, it collides with the energy of blood and qi, stimulating the body's cells. The energy of blood and qi then further integrates into the body's cells, gradually strengthening them with the help of the lightning's stimulation.

At the same time, the power of the martial spirit bloodline in the cells is also stimulated and activated, assisting in the integration and strengthening of the qi and blood power.

That's not all. All bodily functions are also stimulated and operate rapidly, delivering various nutrients to all parts of the body through the blood, especially the muscles, bones, and skin, which are the main areas for tempering.

Metabolic efficiency is greatly improved, and with the combined effects of lightning and blood circulation, it also contributes to strengthening cells.

Tempering the body is like this; energy alone is not enough. The participation of matter and metabolism are equally important. The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Lightning bolts continued to strike from the thunderclouds, and the originally bright white lightning turned golden as it was guided into the conductor, becoming even more dazzling.

The lightning was continuously guided down and quickly reached the storage limit of the knock-off version of the Golden Bell Shield, and then the excess was transmitted to the earth.

This scene left Hu Yanzhen and the others dumbfounded, especially Hu Yankai, who was deeply moved.

The last time, the person from Huanyin Academy used the lightning drawn by Leiting Academy to temper their soul power, which was already crazy. I didn't expect this person to be even more insane, directly channeling the lightning into their body to cultivate.

Chapter 336 Who's fooling whom?

The thunderstorm lasted for a few hours before it ended, but Tian Hao's cultivation continued all night before he finally exhausted the lightning temporarily stored in the Golden Bell Shield.

"Crackling..."
