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

Qian Daoliu looked towards the mountain peak that jutted out from the sea of ​​clouds in the distance and asked a question.

"The word 'honest' doesn't quite describe them."

With a strange expression, Qingluan Douluo didn't know how to describe Yu Luomian's family. They had been completely fooled by Xiao Haozi. Now, apart from cultivating the Nine Strike of Purple Lightning, they were discussing and planning how to split up the family. Everything was going according to the script they had set.

It has to be said that the grandson's ability to deceive people is truly unbeatable, as as astonishing as his intelligence.

"It's true!"

Qian Daoliu was taken aback, then laughed. The word "honest" was indeed inadequate to describe the situation of Yu Luomian's family.

"To truly win them over, we must completely break with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even to the point of becoming enemies. This is not something that can be easily controlled."

His expression turned serious as Qingluan Douluo worried that the plan might not be perfect.

Yu Luomian must be made to completely sever ties with the sect and become independent, just like Tang Yuehua did back then. Only then, combined with Xiao Haozi's relationship with that fire dragon girl, can she truly become one of our own.

Otherwise, having lingering ties is always a hidden danger, and it's better to have no one who isn't truly one's own.

“We don’t need to get involved in the next step. Yu Zhenlong is no pushover. His control over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is far greater than that of his two sons. Yu Luomian and the others’ plan is bound to fail.”

Qian Daoliu had great confidence in Yu Zhenlong. He and that old guy were contemporaries, and he knew how amazing Yu Zhenlong's intelligence and scheming were. If Yu Luomian wanted to split up the family under his nose, there wouldn't be a chance, let alone a window or a door.

Not to mention that the soul beasts have already developed a secret method to destroy soul bones, the hunting alliance of the three upper sects is about to collapse, and Yu Zhenlong will definitely return to that hidden clan land to take charge afterward, so it is even less likely that Yu Luomian and his son will succeed.

Therefore, the outcome was predetermined long ago; at least Yu Luomian does not yet have the strength to break through it.

"Keep an eye on it."

Nodding to Qingluan Douluo, Qian Daoliu turned and returned to Wuhun City.

While continuing to secretly monitor the Yu Luomian family at Shuangfei Fortress, Qingluan Douluo also cultivated the Brain-Eating Demon sealed in the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Although his Dao Palace Secret Realm was not as huge as Xiao Haozi's, only a thousand meters in diameter, its barrier strength was by no means inferior. Even if the Brain Eater was a level 98 Super Douluo, it would be impossible for him to break through.

Not to mention that his martial soul, Azure Phoenix, is currently condensed in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, essentially his own clone, with combat power at the peak of level 99, even stronger than a typical level 99 peak Douluo.

You should know that ever since that cheap grandson figured out the way to improve the origin of a martial soul by consuming soul power, he has been continuously converting soul power into the origin of a martial soul. Over the years, the origin of a martial soul has reached an extremely terrifying level.

With a strong primordial power, one's martial spirit will naturally become even stronger.

Inside the Dao Palace Secret Realm, the Brain-Eating Demon, now free, stared in terror and greed at the giant blue bird hovering above the space.

He didn't know what the giant blue bird was, but his own martial soul was sending him an extremely strong desire to devour it.

This desire was countless times stronger than when he encountered the two Title Douluos of the Min Clan before. If he could devour that giant blue bird, he would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and reach level ninety-nine.

However, the soul power and soul pressure emanating from that giant blue bird were too strong, so strong that he almost suffocated.

"The situation isn't too bad."

He separated a strand of his spiritual will and merged it with his martial soul, the Azure Phoenix. The Azure Phoenix Douluo looked down at the Brain-Eating Demon below.

His perception was much stronger in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, allowing him to sense the mixed state of soul power within the Brain-Eating Demon's body, though the situation was still barely acceptable.

The two combined soul forces within the Brain-Eating Demon's body are the strongest, likely originating from the soul forces and martial soul essence of the Min clan and the Heaven Dou royal family's soul masters.

The two major races share the same martial spirit, and the soul power they cultivate is also quite similar, so the conflicts that arise when they come together will be much smaller.

In comparison, the amount of other scattered soul power is much smaller and not a big deal.

That's probably why he wasn't overwhelmed by so much alien soul power.

"Perfect refining is almost impossible; Xiao Haozi will have to find a solution himself. For now, we can only go through the general outline."

After carefully sensing the energy, Qingluan Douluo realized that he did not have the ability to completely refine the soul power within the Brain-Eating Demon's body.

It should be noted that although this type of devouring evil martial soul can rapidly improve, it cannot perfectly refine the power it devours.

Just think about it and you'll understand. Even a peak level 99 Douluo can't completely refine the power of a spirit ring, let alone the power devoured by an evil spirit master of the devouring type.

With so much power existing within the body, refining it will be much more difficult.

Moreover, this person's martial soul is only very close to the Emerald Demon Bird, not the real Emerald Demon Bird, and the extent to which it can be refined is even more limited.

There's no way I can reach level 99 in my current state; I need to cleanse and purify myself first.

Thinking of this, Qingluan Douluo manipulated his martial soul wings to flap, transforming them into a hurricane that spun rapidly within the Dao Palace Secret Realm, engulfing the bewildered Brain-Eating Demon below.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Startled, the Brain-Eating Demon quickly activated its Martial Soul, trying its best to stabilize its body, while relying on the feathers attached to its Martial Soul to resist the cutting of the wind blades within the hurricane.

Since his martial soul mutated, he discovered that possessing a martial soul could exhibit extremely strong defense.

Although he is currently in a weakened state due to using his Martial Soul True Body in the previous battle against Dugu Bo, his defensive power is still formidable.

He just didn't understand where this place was. It didn't look very big, but after observing it secretly for a while, he still couldn't find the exit. It seemed to be a dead end.

Moreover, the giant blue bird also launched an attack. Was it trying to kill him here?

Just as the Brain-Eating Demon was puzzled, a sharp spiritual force pierced into the Sea of ​​Spirit, bringing two sets of secret techniques. One set allowed the user to unleash the True Form of the Martial Soul without relying on the seventh soul ring, just like a self-created soul skill, and it could ignore the limitations and side effects of the True Form of the Martial Soul.

One set is a secret technique for igniting soul power, which can unleash the potential of soul power and possess greater destructive power.

What exactly is he trying to do?

Although he didn't understand why the giant blue bird wanted to teach him these two secret techniques, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer after sensing that the whirlwind around him was getting faster and faster and the wind blades inside were getting sharper and sharper. He devoted himself to comprehending and cultivating the two secret techniques.

It took a full ten days to finally comprehend the secret technique of the Martial Soul True Body. The surrounding whirlwind never stopped and became increasingly sharp and fast, even cutting him bloody in his Martial Soul Possession state.

"Martial Soul True Form!"

Using that secret technique to activate his own martial soul power, a feeling similar to that of casting the seventh soul ring swept through his entire body. Then, the state of his martial soul possession changed further, and his entire body transformed into a green bird-beast, with only its long, sharp beak being blood red.

"It really is the true form of a martial spirit."

Feeling that his own state was no different from that of his Martial Soul True Body, the Brain Eater was ecstatic.

You should know that he had just used his Martial Soul True Body here three days ago, and he was still in a weakened state. Logically speaking, he should not be able to use his seventh soul ring Martial Soul True Body.

However, this secret technique bypassed the limitations of the Martial Soul True Body, allowing him to unleash the Martial Soul True Body without relying on Soul Rings, which is of paramount importance.

"Just wait, once you learn another secret technique, that will be your death day."

The emerald green bird glanced at the giant blue bird in the sky and secretly vowed that once it had learned the second secret technique, it would retaliate and devour the giant blue bird.

If I devour it, I will definitely reach level 99, and then forcefully break through this place to gain freedom.

At that time, he will be able to roam freely throughout the world, and even visit the Martial Soul City.

What the Brain Eater didn't know was that all of his thoughts were being perceived by the Azure Phoenix Douluo, who was quite speechless about them.

"ignorance!"

He secretly muttered to himself that Qingluan Douluo had already used his powerful mental strength and secret techniques to examine the Brain Eater's memories and knew that he was just a lucky Soul Master from a small family with innate Soul Power reaching Level 5.

Furthermore, by taking advantage of the divine power, he was able to reach level 70 at the age of forty. He then encountered a severely injured Emerald Demon Bird, refined its soul ring, and caused his martial soul to mutate, evolving into the Emerald Demon Bird. In the end, he became a Fallen Soul Master.

As a Soul Master from a small family, he knew too little about the Soul Master world and lacked sufficient respect, which is why he arrogantly swept through the Min Clan and the Heaven Dou Royal Family one after another, and now he even wants to go to the Spirit Hall to cause trouble.

Ignorance and foolishness are indeed the greatest source of courage in the world.

After a round of吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize), Qingluan Douluo continued to control the tornado to attack the Brain Eater, keeping it in its Martial Soul True Form state, activating the Martial Soul's origin, which would further facilitate the Martial Soul's evolution and prepare it for the final leap.

Another half month passed, and the Brain Eater learned the method of sacrifice, igniting its own soul power and unleashing all its potential.

"The day has finally come!"

Sensing that the brain-eating demon's soul power had finally been ignited, Azure Phoenix Douluo chuckled and used his martial soul to accelerate the tornado, even adding sword intent to the wind blades within, forming wind-attribute sword energy with even greater cutting power.

"You must die today!"

Feeling the immense power amplified by the ignition of his soul force, the Brain Eater no longer held back and charged towards the Azure Phoenix Martial Soul on the whirlwind with a wild laugh.

The ignited soul power transformed into flames that rapidly circulated around the Martial Soul True Body, nearly doubling the speed of the Brain-Eating Demon.

This was only after he had just learned the method of sacrifice and ignited his soul power. He couldn't perfectly control the burning soul power and couldn't unleash its full potential. Otherwise, the speed would have been even faster.

Unfortunately, life is full of disappointments. Just as he used the speed generated by burning his soul power to force his way to the Azure Phoenix Martial Soul, before the sharp beak could pierce him, a hundred-meter-long azure wing flapped out at an extremely fast speed.

"not good!"

Knowing something was wrong, the Brain-Eating Demon tried to stop and turn around, but the speed at which its soul power burned and erupted was too fast to control. It couldn't even turn around, let alone stop.

"boom!"

Tragically, he was slapped squarely, like a shooting star with a trail of flames, crashing heavily onto the barrier of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Fortunately, the Emerald Bird's body is strong enough. Even though the Brain Eater's Martial Soul has not yet evolved into a true Emerald Bird, its strength and defense in its Martial Soul True Form state have been greatly improved.

In addition, the soul energy on the surface of his body cushioned the damage, so he did not suffer too much injury, but the pain was unavoidable.

However, the pain only fueled the brain-eating demon's ferocity, and the pent-up anger from being imprisoned for so long erupted completely.

"I want you to die!"

With a furious roar, it flapped its wings again, its entire body like a shooting arrow, its long, sharp beak incomparably piercing, as if it could pierce through everything.

With such a martial soul true form and the amplification of soul power ignited by the sacrificial method, even a level 99 titled Douluo would have a headache facing him. However, Qingluan Douluo is not an ordinary peak Douluo. He has been given a lot of cheats and can be considered a cheater.

Faced with the oncoming Brain Eater, Azure Phoenix Douluo manipulated his Martial Soul to flap his wings once more, causing the Brain Eater to transform into a meteor and crash into the barrier of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

"die!"

The intense pain fueled the brain-eating demon's rage, further unleashing its ferocity. It charged again, attempting to pierce and kill the Azure Phoenix Martial Soul before devouring it.

Unfortunately, the gap between the two sides was too great, and this was Qingluan Douluo's Dao Palace Secret Realm, his home ground, so there was no possibility of him losing.

Despite being slapped away time and time again, the Brain Eater never gave up and charged forward again and again, its ferocity fully unleashed. Even the ferocity of its martial soul and seventh soul ring, which originated from the Emerald Demon Bird, was fully activated, and the origins of both became incredibly active.

Then, the seventh soul ring and the martial soul continued to fuse under the stimulation of burning soul power, causing the brain-eating demon's martial soul to undergo further transformation.

At the same time, the impurities in the soul power generated by the sacrifice are continuously burned away, making the soul power more condensed.

That wasn't all. Qingluan Douluo released his own soul power and a portion of his martial soul essence for the Brain Eater to devour, assisting it in completing its final accumulation and breakthrough.

After several days of fierce fighting, he naturally broke through the bottleneck, reaching level 99 in soul power. With the help of this breakthrough, his martial soul evolved, and with the fusion of the seventh soul ring, it completely evolved into an Emerald Demon Bird martial soul.

The true Emerald Bird Martial Soul differs from the Brain Eater's previous Martial Soul True Form. Its body is more slender, its beak is sharper, and its color has changed from blood red to scarlet, making it more evil and bloody. Its pair of small green eyes reveal an undisguised ferocity.

Most importantly, the speed more than doubled.

"The Emerald Demon Bird truly lives up to its reputation as a legendary soul beast."

Sensing the speed at which the Brain Eater was now bursting forth, Azure Phoenix Douluo couldn't help but admire him, thankful that he had worked so hard for so long and contributed so much of his martial soul essence.
