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

Lying in the hammock, Huo Yuhao held the Lotus Lantern in his arms and fell asleep. This was the first time he had slept so peacefully since his mother's death.

At the same time, the lotus lantern emitted seven-colored light that enveloped his body, forming a protective shield that protected him.

"God King Tang, God of Asura, let's see who has the last laugh."

On a distant mountaintop, Tian Hao's clone gazed at the seven-colored glowing light, muttered to himself for a moment, and then tore through space to reunite with his main body.

The script here has already begun; we just need to let it develop as it will, without interfering further. That knock-off version of the Lotus Lantern can handle everything.

Huo Yuhao woke up the next day after a good night's sleep, full of energy. After checking the flame in the Lotus Lantern and making sure there was nothing wrong, he carefully put it into his backpack and continued on his way.

He needed to hunt down a soul beast as soon as possible. Over the years, he had been practicing his spear skills under his mother's tutelage, and with the sharpness of this level-three soul guide spear, hunting down a hundred-year-old soul beast would not be a problem.

It took Huo Yuhao half a month to reach the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Fortunately, he possessed level 10 soul power, making his physical condition much stronger than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, it would have taken him at least a month to reach the Star Dou Great Forest.

"It's too expensive. Luckily, I bought enough things beforehand."

Arriving at a small town outside the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao found many roadside stalls selling items that could be used in the Star Dou Great Forest, but unfortunately, they were all too expensive, which made him very happy.

Without pausing, Huo Yuhao chose a less crowded spot to enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Carrying his spear, he slowly walked into the forest, activating his Spirit Eye Martial Soul and warily watching his surroundings.

As a spirit-type martial soul, the Spirit Eye has a strong early warning and observation ability. Even without a spirit ring, it can sense danger in advance and take precautions.

In response to the characteristics of his own martial soul, he focused on cultivating a spear technique similar to sword drawing, which he excelled at for defense and counterattack.

That spear technique manual was left to his mother by his uncle, Erlang, and then passed it on to him. It explained many practical spear techniques, laying a solid foundation for his spear skills.

He can now fight against a first-ring Soul Master with his spear skills alone. If he were to unleash the full power of the Guardian Cloud Spear, he could even kill a Soul Venerable with a single spear thrust if he found the right opportunity.

As a level three soul tool, the Guardian Cloud Spear has only one ability: sharpness. As long as soul power is poured into it, it can unleash an attack power comparable to a Soul Master. With its ability to penetrate surfaces, it has astonishing penetrating power and can easily pierce through rocks.

This is much better than my mother's White Tiger Dagger. At least the spear is long enough to prevent me from fighting soul beasts in close combat, which is much less risky.

As they proceeded cautiously, a strange feeling soon appeared in their minds, and their eyes also felt a slight stinging sensation.

Sensing this anomaly, Huo Yuhao used all his soul power to activate his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, gripping the Guardian Cloud Spear even tighter.

He didn't have to wait long. A dark figure pounced at an extremely fast speed. Even with his vision enhanced by his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, he could only see a dark figure flash by.

Years of honing his marksmanship honed his instincts, and he thrust out the Shouyun Spear in his hand, piercing the approaching black shadow. At the same time, he shifted to the left to guard against the opponent's attack, aligning himself and the attacker with a tree that was originally to the side.

The spear tip pierced the tree trunk, using the tree to deflect the force of the impact.

That wasn't the end of it. Before the attacker could retaliate further, Huo Yuhao, relying on his years of training, quickly holstered his gun and then thrust it, precisely piercing the attacker's slightly open mouth and exiting through his neck, pinning him once again to the tree behind him.

The opponent had been attacking with all their might, and their speed was too fast for my eyesight to keep track of. But the previous shot had made the opponent pause, and I was able to see their figure clearly immediately, and then I fired a shot to deliver a fatal blow.

This is a spear technique recorded in the spear technique book that my uncle left for my mother. It is very practical, and I achieved success in the first actual combat I used it.

"It's a pity it's only a white spirit ring!"

Looking at the rising white ring, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of regret.

If it were a yellow, hundred-year soul ring, that would be great. Although it's best to pair one's Spirit Eye Martial Soul with a spirit-type soul beast soul ring, such soul beasts are too hard to find; it's no exaggeration to say they're something you can only hope to encounter once in a while.

He's not qualified to be picky now; any hundred-year-old soul ring will do.

According to my mother, the formation of spirit rings and spirit skills is the result of the combined effect of the martial soul and the spirit beast's spirit ring. Even if the compatibility is not high enough, the spirit skill will eventually be affected by the martial soul itself and will exhibit certain spiritual attributes, at most it will not be very powerful.

"monkey?"

After his initial regret, Huo Yuhao looked at the attacker, a strange creature that resembled both a monkey and a dog; he couldn't quite place it.

He and his mother suffered severe oppression in the Duke's mansion. They were not qualified to study at the Duke's school and were restricted from entering and leaving. They were unable to enroll in any junior soul master academies outside and had little knowledge of soul beasts.

Good Mother had learned some things from Uncle Erlang, but mostly about Soul Mastery, and didn't know much about Soul Beasts either.

"Not a drop of blood on it, no wonder it's a soul tool made by my uncle."

After glancing at the bloodless spear blade, Huo Yuhao felt even more eager for the Lotus Lantern.

Eleven years ago, my uncle was already able to make level-three soul tools. The soul tools he makes now must be even more powerful. That Lotus Lantern looks even more advanced than this Guardian Cloud Spear.

Unfortunately, his soul power was too little to activate the soul tool, nor was he able to explore its functions.

"Finally, I've met a human with a spirit-attribute martial soul. I'm so touched!"

Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking about the Lotus Lantern, a voice suddenly rang in his mind, startling him and causing him to warily scan his surroundings.

Then, a strange change occurred in the ground ahead, with cracks appearing as if something was about to emerge from them, and a faint golden-white light emanating from them.

Without retreating, Huo Yuhao held the Guardian Cloud Spear and thrust it into a crack emitting golden light.

But the sensation startled him again. There was no feeling of piercing flesh; instead, it was very soft and elastic, like a piece of cotton, offering no resistance whatsoever, which made him very uncomfortable.

Immediately afterwards, wisps of cold air seeped out from the cracks, and the surrounding ground was covered with a layer of white frost.

Immediately afterwards, the ground cracked open, and out emerged something one meter in diameter and seven meters long.

"silkworm?"

Looking at the plump thing in front of him, Huo Yuhao confirmed that it was a silkworm. His mother had raised silkworms and wove cloth, so he had seen silkworms before, but this silkworm was much bigger than the ones his mother had raised.

"That's right, I am Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. It's your honor to meet me!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's shock, especially after seeing Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul, it became even more satisfied.

This human is not only a spirit-type martial soul, but also a physical martial soul with unlimited potential. Combined with his cultivation, he will definitely be able to break through the limits and become a god.

Although he had never set foot in the human world, he had seen quite a few in the Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, the so-called Body Sect had once raided into the Star Dou Great Forest and killed several 100,000-year-old soul beasts, which made him aware of the existence and potential of Body Martial Souls.

This kid has a physical martial soul, and it's an important organ like the eyes. He has a bright future ahead of him and is perfect for me.

"You're a soul beast? And you can talk?"

Huo Yuhao didn't sense any danger from the other party, and the other party showed no malice, so he relaxed a little and curiously examined the giant silkworm in front of him.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, the king of soul beasts who possesses both wisdom and beauty, the highest-level soul beast with a cultivation of a million years, and the oldest Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm on the continent. You can call me Brother Heavenly Dream."

Tianmeng Bingcan gave a brief self-introduction, quite pleased with himself, but was immediately struck down by a remark from the boy.

"Isn't a million-year-old beast a mythical beast?"

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, remembering his mother saying that soul beasts become divine beasts after a million years, and that powerful million-year-old divine beasts exist in the far north.

How come this Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm claims to be a million-year-old soul beast?

Chapter 715 Stealing the Sea of ​​Spirit

"Because I'm still missing some opportunities, I'm one step away from becoming a divine beast."

With a dry laugh, Tianmeng Bingcan offered a simple explanation.

Unlike other soul beasts, he did not experience the baptism of lightning tribulation and smoothly increased his cultivation years to the million-year level. Moreover, due to the mental power from ten thousand years ago, his spiritual power increased more than tenfold.

Unfortunately, it was still just mental energy and failed to transform into divine consciousness.

This is probably because he didn't experience the baptism of lightning tribulation. It can be considered a trade-off. Otherwise, with his strength, he would have been defeated even by the first wave of heavenly tribulation.

“Child, don’t be afraid. Although I myself am not capable of becoming a god, I can nurture you into one. Now I’m going to create an unprecedented wisdom soul ring for you.”

Speaking of the Wisdom Soul Ring, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately regained her previous arrogance.

The Wisdom Soul Ring was his own creation, based on the characteristics of the Soul Bone.

Soul bones can store the souls of soul beasts, but they lose their growth potential. If a soul ring can be used as a container for a soul, it will be deeply bound to, or even fused with, the soul master's martial soul, as the soul master's martial soul continues to improve.

If this kid can reach level 100 and become a god in the future, I can also use him to break through and gain divine consciousness, and transform my soul into a divine soul, so that I can truly live forever.

Most importantly, only by becoming a god-level being would he be qualified to pursue Bingbing, who had already become a divine beast.

"Intelligence Soul Ring?"

Huo Yuhao was a little confused; this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing as a "wisdom spirit ring."

He had only heard of spirit rings being classified by age and color, but what the hell was this kind of intelligent spirit ring?

Has the spirit ring come to life?

Or can it increase the Soul Master's wisdom?

"Let's begin. Don't worry, I'll be very gentle, it won't hurt too much."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm first sensed its surroundings, and then looked at Huo Yuhao with a smug smile.

Before Huo Yuhao could raise his gun in defense, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm charged over, pressing its head against his forehead. Ten golden halos floated around Huo Yuhao's lean body, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm itself transformed into streaks of white light that flowed into Huo Yuhao's body.

"It doesn't even have a single spirit ring. Hopefully, it can be sealed away; otherwise, we'll have to replace it."

Sensing Huo Yuhao's frail body, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered something and then focused all its efforts on sealing its own power.

Although he was restricted by those ferocious beasts after arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest, he preserved his own strength very well, and his soul power and spiritual power were still intact.

The main reason is that those ferocious beasts, in order to resist the lightning tribulation, pay more attention to the purity of their own power; otherwise, he would have been devoured long ago.

However, he was unwilling to stop progressing, especially after hearing that Bingbing had become a million-year-old divine beast and even fought the Sea God nine thousand years ago, defeating the Sea God in the far north. His desire grew even stronger.

Only by becoming a divine beast himself could he pursue Bingbing, and for this great wish, he was willing to take a gamble.

Millions of years' worth of soul power and spiritual energy surged into Huo Yuhao's body, pushing his body to the brink of collapse even with layers of sealing.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm himself was quite helpless about this. If he only had spiritual power, he could seal it perfectly, but the vast soul power accumulated in his body was not so easy to seal. Even if he actively guided it, he could not achieve perfection.

Hopefully, this little guy can pull through!

Just then, the once cloudless sky suddenly darkened, and the sun in the center was obscured by a dark cloud. Thunder rumbled from within, and the oppressive force emanating from it gave Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a suffocating feeling, similar to when it faced Di Tian's ninth tribulation a thousand years ago.

"Divine retribution? How could I possibly incur divine retribution?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was horrified, but was dumbfounded when she realized she wasn't being locked on.

what happened?

Just then, a gray stream of air descended from the sky and entered Huo Yuhao's head.

"What kind of bastard dares to steal your brother's woman?"

Seeing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was enraged. Vast spiritual power surged within Huo Yuhao's body, trying to squeeze out the gray energy flow, but it was to no avail.

His mental energy was like a surging wave, but the gray aura was like a reef, which could not be shaken even slightly no matter how his mental energy impacted it.

"Divine sense?"

Upon witnessing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was shocked, and then cowered.

He had sensed the divine power of Di Tian after he became a divine beast. Just like this gray stream of energy, it was clear that this thing might be the power of a god, something he could not contend with.
