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

"To enhance the martial soul with the power of the spirit rings?"

Adopting a thoughtful expression, Tian Hao looked down at the ninth soul ring manifested by the Second Elder.

Seeing Tian Hao deep in thought, the Second Elder did not disturb him. He withdrew from the Gravity Domain after his soul power was almost exhausted, and deactivated the Martial Soul Possession state, silently recovering his soul power.

"You obtained this spirit ring from the Great Earth Elemental, right?"

After pretending to ponder for a long time, Tian Hao suddenly asked.

He had sensed earlier that this spirit ring had the same spirit power aura as the group of earth elephants, clearly originating from an earth elephant as well.

"It is a giant earth elephant king that is about to break through the 100,000-year limit. I almost didn't survive when I was refining it."

The Second Elder still feels lingering fear when he talks about it.

Although theoretically, a Soul Master at level 90 can absorb and refine a 100,000-year Soul Ring, the refining process is extremely dangerous.

It not only places extremely high demands on the physical strength and soul power of the Soul Master, but also on their mental strength.

If one doesn't possess a spirit-type martial soul or a head-type spirit bone, they are almost certain to die.

The Earth Elephant King he initially chose almost killed him when it showed signs of a breakthrough, but he survived and gained the Earth Elephant King's strongest gravity ability.

Although the Earth Elephant can manipulate gravity, Soul Masters need a certain aptitude and luck to acquire this ability. Many people in their Elephant Armor Sect have obtained the Earth Elephant's Soul Ring, but few have gained the ability to manipulate gravity, and only he has obtained the Gravity Domain from it.

This shows how difficult it is to acquire skills in a particular domain.

"I think I heard the old man say that our Earth Soul Power can directly refine Earth-attribute Domain Soul Skills into Martial Souls and turn them into Martial Soul Talent Domains. However, the source of the Soul Ring must have a sufficiently high degree of compatibility with the Martial Soul."

Tian Hao voiced his idea, which he had been considering for a long time, hoping to put it to the test.

Chapter 349 Soul Ring Talent Domainization

Although Tian Hao abandoned the soul beast and soul ring system at the beginning, he did not completely abandon it. If the soul ring and soul beast are of the same type as the soul master's martial soul, they can naturally be refined, which will help the evolution of the martial soul.

The Earth Elephant and the Diamond Mammoth Martial Souls are not only both elephant-type, but also both primarily earth-attribute, and both excel in strength and defense, making them highly compatible.

While such a soul ring and martial soul are still difficult to perfectly fuse, they can be achieved with the help of some external forces.

Tian Hao's earth soul power is, in a sense, superior to the power of both of them. Even if his soul power level is not high enough, his potential is much higher.

Using it as a hub for perfect integration is not impossible, and it is at least worth a try.

How confident are you?

The second elder, after regaining his senses, sat up straight and asked.

There has always been a rule in the world of Soul Masters: when a Soul Master reaches level 90 and refines a Soul Ring, some high-grade Martial Souls can awaken their Talent Domain.

However, very few people can actually do it. In the end, their Elephant Armor Sect's Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul is still a bit lacking compared to those top-tier Martial Souls, making it even more difficult to awaken their talent domain.

Even after refining the soul ring of the Earth Elephant King, it was still not enough; he only obtained a domain soul skill.

Although domain soul skills and innate domains may seem similar, they are actually worlds apart.

Because the talent domain can continuously evolve, just like the legendary external soul bone.

Domain-type soul bones are different; at most, they can only increase slightly with higher-level soul power as the soul master's soul power level increases.

But how can growth compare to evolution?

If one could refine the gravity field into their own martial soul's innate domain, the significance would be entirely different.

"I don't know. I just remember the old man saying that some of our ancestors used this method to obtain their talent domains. However, as the cultivation and development of earth soul power continued to improve, and it could be generated autonomously when cultivated to the extreme, no one did it anymore."

Shaking his head slightly, Tian Hao indicated that he wasn't sure, but he was actually at least 90% certain.

"You try it. At worst, you can destroy this spirit ring. Besides, spirit rings aren't that easy to destroy. I've seen the secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect to shatter spirit rings."

After thinking it over for a while, the Second Elder gritted his teeth and decided to do it.

Back when he was in the Imperial Palace of New Heaven Dou City, he personally witnessed Tang Zhen, the sect leader of Haotian Sect, and several elders shatter their soul rings and charge out with the Great Sumeru Hammer, which showed that shattered soul rings could definitely be restored.

Even a destroyed spirit ring can be restored, let alone such a deep level of refinement.

"You recover your soul power first, and I'll also adjust myself. We'll begin in three hours."

Tian Hao gave a solemn instruction, then closed his eyes to adjust himself.

The Second Elder also did his best to recover the soul power he had just lost, striving to adjust himself to his best condition.

Three hours passed quickly. Tian Hao and the Second Elder opened their eyes at the same time. After exchanging glances, the Second Elder used his Martial Soul Possession, while Tian Hao used the Vajra Dragon Elephant Transformation, a mutated skill of his torso soul bone.

He placed his palm on the Second Elder's shoulder and used a fusion technique to indirectly gain control of the Elder's martial soul and spirit ring. Then, using the earth spirit power as a guide, he directed the further fusion of the Diamond Mammoth martial soul and the ninth spirit ring.

Of course, Tian Hao secretly used his exquisite control over soul power and his understanding of the structure of the soul ring to slowly destroy its structure from the inside.

As the structure of the spirit ring was continuously destroyed, the spirit power and spirit skill origins within it gradually lost their restraints, and were then drawn into the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul by Tian Hao, who was prepared in advance, using the earth spirit power.

Although the Second Elder could not sense the changes in the Soul Ring, he could sense a power surging from the Soul Ring and entering his own body, exactly the same power he felt when he refined that Soul Ring.

Overjoyed, he dared not delay and used the method of refining soul rings to guide the refining process with his own soul power, slowly integrating it into himself and his martial soul.

The process of a Soul Master refining a Soul Ring is not simply a matter of refining; it also involves the mutual fusion of primordial power.

When the power of a spirit ring is integrated into a martial spirit, it causes changes and even evolution in the martial spirit. Because of this, some martial spirits will acquire some of the characteristics of that spirit beast after absorbing a spirit beast's spirit ring.

Furthermore, the lower the grade of the martial soul, the more obvious the transformation will be after absorption and refinement.

At the same time, the Soul Master's Martial Soul essence will also be partially integrated into the Soul Ring, and merge with the Soul Beast's abilities to form Soul Skills. This is most evident in Weapon Martial Souls.

What Tian Hao needs to do now is to completely refine the original power of the spirit ring and integrate it into his martial soul to strengthen it.

This method requires a sufficiently high degree of compatibility between the martial soul and the soul ring; otherwise, failure will inevitably cause irreversible damage to both the martial soul and the soul ring.

Fortunately, the Earth Elephant and the Diamond Mammoth have a high enough compatibility, so there's no need to worry about that.

As expected, the Second Elder refined the soul ring origin guided by Tian Hao very smoothly, and even the soul power level continued to increase.

It's important to know that during the refinement of a soul beast's soul ring, only a small portion of the soul power is used to increase the soul master's soul power level; the majority is sealed within the soul ring.

This is why the Haotian Sect was able to obtain a massive amount of soul power after the ring was destroyed.

Just like refining soul bones, the blood and qi power that escapes from fresh soul bones can greatly enhance the physical qualities of a soul master, but that is only the part that escapes. The vast majority of the blood and qi power is transformed into the parts necessary for the structure of the soul bone.

Now that the soul ring's origin and soul power are being guided out and refined, the Second Elder's soul power level will naturally increase.

Of course, the main reason is that this is a soul ring that he has already refined. The origins and soul power of the two have long been intertwined, which is why he was able to refine and improve his own soul power level.

Through continuous refinement, the Second Elder's soul power level steadily increased, from level 91 to level 92, then to level 93, until it reached the limit of level 94 before stopping. The essence of the soul ring was also completely refined and integrated into the martial soul, the Diamond Mammoth.

At this point, Tian Hao did nothing more, but simply integrated the Earth Soul Power into the Second Elder's body, thereby comprehending the changes in his Martial Soul.

The complete refinement and integration of the Soul Ring's origin is equivalent to performing a fusion skill between a Martial Soul and a Soul Beast. Tian Hao is very familiar with this; he did just that with the Jade Rabbit Emperor.

The fusion of the two can lead to evolution. Even though both the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul and the Earth Elephant King are elephant-like beings, and the qualitative change is not significant, there will still be a qualitative change.

This qualitative change eventually occurred, causing subtle changes in the Second Elder's Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul form. It exhibited some characteristics unique to earth elephants, which manifested in the Martial Soul's possessed state as a more robust physique, especially with his limbs becoming several sizes thicker and his muscles bulging all over his body, making it impossible to tell that he was an old man over eighty years old.

That wasn't all. With this qualitative change, the gravity domain originating from the Earth Elephant gradually manifested, merging with the earth attribute of the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul to become a talent domain.

However, this talent field is very weak, and it has not even expanded into the body yet, so it can only affect the internal parts of the body for the time being.

Chapter 350 Tuoba Sinan

"Wa hahaha……"

After a long period of silence, the Second Elder suddenly burst into wild laughter, a laugh filled with unparalleled joy and delight.

"What did you do?"

Hu Yanba, who had arrived at the side at some unknown time, couldn't help but ask. He had previously welcomed the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect to the hall for discussions, but after a short while, he sensed a huge change in the soul power aura of the second elder in the back mountain, so he came over to take a look out of curiosity.

Then they saw the color of the second elder's outermost ninth soul ring gradually fade until it disappeared completely. However, the soul pressure emanating from the second elder continued to rise, which was a phenomenon of soul power level increase, and it was by no means as simple as just increasing by one level.

"Just now, Xiao Zu said he could help me completely refine my ninth spirit ring into my martial soul, turning the gravity domain into the martial soul's innate domain, and it really worked."

Although the power of the Gravity Domain has diminished considerably, currently only affecting the body and unable to expand outwards, it is still a true innate domain, capable of improvement and evolution, with potential far exceeding the previous Ninth Soul Skill.

The second elder glanced at the tall man in silver armor standing next to the clan leader and recounted what had happened without any hesitation.

He had already guessed the other party's identity; it must be the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect.

The speed is fast enough, and it seems that they attach great importance to the emergence of the Vajra Sect.

"There's such a method?"

Hu Yanba and the others were shocked, then their eyes turned red with envy, and their breathing became much heavier.

"Don't overthink it. This method only applies to domain-type spirit rings, and they must have a high enough compatibility with the martial soul. Moreover, unless it is a spirit ring from a spirit beast of the same race as the martial soul, it cannot be perfectly refined. In the end, it will become a shackle to breaking through to Super Douluo. The higher the level, the more obvious the shackle will be."

Only domain-specific soul skills with evolutionary potential can be transformed in this way; otherwise, the losses outweigh the gains.

Tian Hao understood what the others meant and decisively refused.

As far as he knows, among the sect leader and several elders of the Elephant Armor Sect, only the Second Elder used an elephant-type ninth soul ring; the others did not.

He could understand this, since elephant-type soul beasts are generally gregarious, and the higher the level, the larger the group, making them naturally more difficult to hunt.

Not to mention that since the changes in the world, the strength of soul beasts has been constantly improving, and they are much stronger than before compared to those of the same age, making them even more difficult to hunt.

Therefore, it is normal to choose other types of soul beasts.

"Super Douluo!"

Several people sighed, but then their hearts burned with excitement.

In the past, they naturally dared not have any expectations of reaching the level of Super Douluo, just as they dared not have any expectations of reaching the level of Title Douluo.

Those who can become Title Douluo are all possessors of top-tier martial souls. Even if there are exceptions, they all have had fortuitous encounters, such as obtaining a soul bone.

Even soul bones have limited effects, and to be effective at the level of a Super Douluo, one needs a soul bone that is at least 70,000 years old, with a soul bone of 100,000 years being the best.

This was clearly something they couldn't hope for, but now that they had the backing of the Vajra Sect, perhaps they could also strive towards the level of Super Douluo.

For example, after destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, we will definitely obtain a batch of soul bones. The Vajra Clan only has two people now, so they certainly won't need that many soul bones. It's even possible that the other person already has six fully equipped soul bones, so they will be even less interested in it.

Wouldn't that just benefit the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect?

"Young Ancestor, let me introduce you. This is Tuoba Sinan, the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect, and this is Tuoba hope, the young sect leader."

Stopping his thoughts, Huyan Ba ​​pointed to Tuoba Sinan and his son beside him and introduced them to Tian Hao.

"So you're the big silly dragon the old man was talking about!"
