Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

Well, it's just a gesture, not a real confrontation.

Compared with Titled Douluo, Extreme Douluo is another sublimation of life level, and is the pinnacle of mortal creatures under the gods in this era.

Being able to advance to the ultimate level, they do not have any shortcomings in spirit, body, or soul power. It can only be said that they are particularly good at one or more of them.

If any one of them is taken out alone, it is enough to compete with the 98th level Super Douluo. The combination of the three is like a natural barrier that keeps out all creatures below the limit, as if they are not life forms of the same level.

Even if You Chen's mental power breaks through again and surpasses the limit level, it is impossible for him to crush the Limit Douluo with mental power alone.

The physical body is the outer shell of the spiritual soul, and soul power can also be seen as a protective film. With these two layers of barriers, even an Extreme Douluo whose spiritual power is not outstanding will not be directly knocked down by the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm.

You Chen has already cultivated the spiritual realm to the late stage.

This realm is not like any realm of cultivation, where there is talk of perfection after the later stages.

In other words, You Chen could feel that once the spiritual realm was perfected, he would naturally break through to the next stage.

Therefore, the so-called perfect level does not exist.

Just like he was aware of the existence of the spiritual realm before, You Chen also vaguely sensed the changes that the next level would bring after using the Illuminating the Origin in the late stage of the spiritual realm.

That's...the perfect level.

You Chen now has a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm explosion. This is actually a state of excessive soul explosion. By stimulating the soul and martial spirit to resonate deeply, the martial spirit potential is released, and the strength far exceeds the normal state is temporarily exerted. However, because the soul is over-stimulated, it also affects the martial spirit, which leads to a long period of weakness afterwards.

As the control over the spiritual realm gradually improves, this unnecessary and excessive stimulation becomes less and less, so the duration of the weak state is correspondingly shortened.

If one can perfectly control the power of the spiritual realm and make the martial soul in a state where not a single bit of power is wasted when it explodes, one will naturally reach the next level...

Perfect layers!

I'm afraid that by that time, the spiritual realm explosion can be turned on and off at will, and there is no need to worry about the so-called weak state.

even……

You Chen guessed that perhaps the weak state of the martial soul's true body could be eliminated through this perfect control.

At the same time, the means of simultaneously unleashing the martial soul's true body and the spiritual realm's explosion can also be normalized.

You Chen believes that he can now call himself a great god in the spiritual realm. In this era, apart from himself, there is probably no soul master who has entered the spiritual realm. The only one who may touch the spiritual realm is probably the former Haotian Douluo Tang Chen who has fallen into madness, but this guy can't threaten him at all now.

If you can master the perfect state, this will definitely be a killer weapon that can threaten the Extreme Douluo!

There is no need for anything else. Once he breaks through to the Titled Douluo, his physical strength and soul power will be raised to another level. Coupled with the perfect state of the original power of his martial soul, there will be no one who can rival him in this mortal world!

The power of stardust, as the most core power of the Stardust Dragon, is complementary to the degree of control over the origin of the martial soul.

Half a year of silent cultivation, the use of divine power learned from the Holy Spirit Bird, the successive battles with powerful men of the same level, and the confrontation between the stardust power and the evil spirit after absorbing the soul ring this time... You Chen felt that his control over the stardust power had finally improved from the entry level at the beginning to a small success level where he could perform slightly fine control.

"The Star Soul Art can finally be put into use."

You Chen has top talent in mental power. After completing the Soul-Shocking Art, he quickly began trying to integrate the power of stardust, and also integrated the mental skills and martial arts rewarded by the system in the past few years. Finally, the "Star Soul Art" was born.

Born out of the original "Soul-Shocking Art", after integrating the power of stardust from simple mental deterrence, it fully interprets the vision of its crushing power, and the move that directly crushes the enemy's mental power into powder is "Wheel of Stars"!

In addition, the split mental power can launch a mental attack called "Virtual God Thorn" that is separated from the mental sea and will not cause backlash even when encountering an enemy with stronger mental power than oneself. After integrating the power of stardust, it becomes a more powerful move called "Star God Thorn"!

On the defensive side, the "Void Tower" that builds a spiritual pagoda in the spiritual sea is integrated to form a more powerful "Star Tower" that can be called absolute spiritual defense!

The last item is the combination of group mental attack "Haowang Haki" and the power of stardust, "Stardust Aura"! Not only can it carry out large-scale mental attacks, but it can also connect friendly forces through the stardust aura to help them share the mental pressure from the enemy!

Of these four great moves, You Chen, who had achieved perfection in "Wheel of Stars" from the very beginning, naturally mastered them the most proficiently and could put them into use directly.

The other three, except for the Star Tower that can be constructed in advance, were skills that could not be put into actual combat before.

But now, as Youchen's control over the power of stardust has improved, he is able to officially engage in actual combat.

The automatic defense type mental defense skill "Star Tower"! The group mental attack and group auxiliary defense "Stardust Aura"! The single-target consumption type, tentative mental attack "Star God Thorn"! And the strongest single-target mental attack "Wheel of Stars"!

This is the prototype of Youchen's spiritual means. From this prototype, one can already see the subsequent perfect hexagonal posture.

This is the case with spiritual skills.

You Chen's physical and energy skills were not so smooth. After all, his talent in this area was indeed a little worse than the world's number one mental talent. It would probably take a long time to polish and perfect it.

After two days of careful study and consolidation, You Chen finally chose to get up and leave.

He opened the nautical chart and moved his index finger quickly over it, comparing it with his current location, and soon found the target.

On that map, there was an icon that resembled a palace.

It was Youchen's last hunting target on this trip, the underwater building where the Sea Princess was located - the Crystal Palace.

Chapter 155: Star Soul Art, Searching for the Sea Princess

Poseidon Island is located in the West Sea of ​​Douluo Continent. There are three overlords in the surrounding waters, namely the Evil Demon Killer Whale King, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King and the last Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

As the place where the Sea God became a deity, the energy around the Sea God Island is naturally the most concentrated. Theoretically, it can give birth to more than three overlords.

However, due to the existence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, in order to break through the million-year bottleneck of transforming into a dragon, in the past 20,000 years, a large number of soul beasts that were expected to become hundred thousand-year soul beasts were swallowed into its stomach and became nutrients before breaking through the hundred thousand-year bottleneck.

The only ones who could survive in this cruel competition for survival and finally break through the bottleneck of 100,000 years are the two soul beasts with top-level bloodlines, the Evil Demon Killer Whale King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.

The former was because each member of the evil killer whale tribe had strong combat power, and when they formed a group, even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was unwilling to provoke them easily, and they finally passed the period of achievement for 100,000 years.

Although the latter's tribe is weaker than the evil killer whale, it is also protected by the sea soul beasts of Poseidon Island, so there is no need to worry.

Generally speaking, even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would not dare to take them down easily.

But given the vastness of the ocean, there is always room for other soul beasts to survive.

In the sea area thousands of kilometers away from the Sea God Island, the energy concentration has dropped significantly, but based on a larger number base, there are always sea soul beasts that can reach the 100,000-year level.

In the North Sea area in the north of Douluo Continent, there is a race that has long believed in the sea god and lives in peace with the world - the mermaids.

This group of people have the upper body of humans and the lower body of fish. They are the mermaids in human legends. You Chen prefers to call them the mermaid clan directly.

The leader of the mermaid clan is even known as the Sea Princess.

The contemporary Sea Princess has survived for ten thousand years, and in this era, she also has a terrifying cultivation base of 590,000 years.

After all, this is not the vicinity of Sea God Island, so the energy concentration is not that high. In addition, the Sea Princess no longer needs to improve her strength to maintain her status among the soul beasts of the North Sea, so she is naturally not in a hurry to improve her cultivation. After all, every time a ferocious beast breaks through a 100,000-year bottleneck, it will face a horrific heavenly calamity after a thousand years. Before it really survives it, no one knows whether their hard work in cultivation is in a hurry to reincarnate.

Although its soul beast bloodline is not as good as that of top-level sea soul beasts such as the evil killer whale, it can definitely be called a quasi-top-level soul beast.

With 98 years of cultivation, she is comparable to a human level soul master. Even an Ultimate Douluo can barely maneuver in the sea. When the Sea Princess makes another breakthrough and has years of cultivation, she will probably be able to confront an Ultimate Douluo head-on in the sea.

In terms of overall strength, the Sea Princess is definitely superior to the Evil Killer Whale King.

But for You Chen, the difficulty of dealing with it would not be much different.

Because compared to the evil killer whale king, the Sea Princess has a huge weakness, and that is her physique.

It is difficult for human soul masters to judge, but the physical strength of smaller soul beasts will definitely not be too high.

If the physical strength of the Evil Killer Whale King belongs to the first tier under the level of Extreme Douluo, then the physical strength of the Sea Princess, whose comprehensive strength is comparable to that of a level 98 human soul master, is probably at the bottom level of Super Douluo.

Weak defense and vitality.

The size of the Evil Demon Killer Whale King might make it difficult for an ordinary Super Douluo to kill him even after a long fight, but the size of the Sea Princess would only cause a minor injury to the Evil Demon Killer Whale King, but for the Sea Princess, most of her body might be gone.

With You Chen's assassination ability comparable to that of a top assassin, it is entirely possible that he could kill the Sea Princess in one fell swoop before she could even react.

On the other hand, a large part of the strength of the Sea Princess is attributed to its strong mental power. Mental power is the greatest specialty of this soul beast.

But for You Chen, mental power is also his strong point. Even if it is inferior to that of the Sea Princess, he relies on the protection of the Star Tower in his spiritual sea and is not afraid of the opponent's mental attack at all, which directly reduces the threat posed by the Sea Princess.

You Chen is a hexagonal player. Even if his mental power cannot play a role, his other aspects are still at least at the upper-middle level of Super Douluo, which is enough to threaten the Sea Princess.

To deal with the Sea Princess, the most important issue to pay attention to is not the Sea Princess herself, but the group of soul beasts guarding her.

The Sea Princess can use her racial innate soul skill, the Mermaid Song, to link the soul powers of many sea soul beasts together, achieving an effect similar to the seven-in-one soul power fusion in the original work.

This makes it possible for many ten thousand year soul beasts and even thousand year soul beasts that were originally unable to pose a threat to You Chen to become a hindrance to You Chen.

If there were many other soul beasts around it when fighting with the Sea Princess, it would be very likely that You Chen would have to spend a lot of energy to deal with these soul beasts.

Just as You Chen is not worried about the Sea Princess's mental attack because he has the Star Tower, You Chen cannot guarantee that his own group mental attack will not be weakened and thus ineffective under the connection of the Mermaid Song.

What's more, the Princess of the Sea is a 590,000-year-old beast, so it cannot be ruled out that it has other subordinate soul beasts of the 100,000-year level. You Chen can indeed kill ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts in seconds, but this requires some high-cost moves, and there is no guarantee that the Princess of the Sea will not seize the opportunity when he attacks other 100,000-year-old soul beasts to kill him.

Therefore, the best plan is to find a chance when the Sea Princess is alone, and kill her before the other soul beasts guarding her arrive to rescue her.

However, killing the Sea Princess would almost mean becoming enemies with Poseidon Island if there was no guarantee that any information would not be leaked.

The mermaids have always been hostile to humans, but after all, they, like the Poseidon Island, have a pure faith in the Poseidon.

Before becoming a god, Poseidon was also a human soul master. It is a huge question whether the mermaids hate the soul masters of Poseidon Island as much as they hate other humans.

No, there is no need to put a question mark.

From the Sea Girl Douluo, the half-human, half-sea soul beast Holy Pillar Douluo who belongs to the mermaid clan, it can be seen that there must be a close connection between the two sides.

To kill the Sea Princess, unless he could do an assassination without anyone noticing, with the number of sea soul beasts here, it would be impossible for You Chen to not leak any of his information.

In addition, he had just hunted down the Evil Killer Whale King not long ago. The Sea God Island would definitely link these two soul beasts that had hunted down hundred thousand year soul beasts and ferocious beasts one after another, and even decisively regard them as the same person.

So will You Chen stop here and choose other soul beasts as his target?

Of course not!

You Chen was extremely satisfied with this sea princess, no matter the soul skills she produced or the age of her soul rings. How could he miss her?

The improvements that spirit rings can bring to spirit masters are nothing more than spirit power, physical strength, and mental power.

Needless to say, the first two are self-explanatory. As for mental strength, it is not only through absorbing the spirit rings of spiritual soul beasts that it can be improved.

Even a ten-year soul ring can have the effect of improving the spirit power of the soul master. However, basically the intelligence of soul beasts under ten thousand years old will not be very high, and the corresponding improvement in spirit power is also minimal.

There are two reasons why spirit masters in the old times considered ten thousand years to be the optimal period for the fifth ring.

One is that it has nothing to do with age. Every time a soul master puts on a soul ring, it is equivalent to installing a martial soul stabilizer, which not only limits the wild growth of the martial soul origin, but also protects the soul master. When absorbing a soul ring, both the shock from the unrefined soul ring and the mental shock that follows will be weakened accordingly.

This is also one of the reasons why the more spirit rings one has, the longer the next ring can absorb. The optimal limit of each ring is nearly doubled. The first few rings are not so bad, and the later ones are still like this after the ten thousand year spirit rings. A large part of the credit is due to the restraining effect of the previous spirit rings.

Why is it that You Chen clearly used the soul power borrowing method, and the second ring has a lifespan of 4 years, but the third ring only increased by 6 years, reaching only years?

This can be seen from the lack of stability of the martial soul origin in the first three rings mentioned earlier. It is precisely because the martial soul origin is not stable enough when absorbing the first three soul rings that the ability to cope with the shock of the unrefined soul rings is very poor.

Starting from the fourth ring, after the origin of the martial soul has completely stabilized, the calculation formula for the best lifespan of the soul ring begins to be obviously affected by the number of soul rings.

With the help of the soul power borrowing method, when You Chen absorbed the fourth ring, it was equivalent to using the soul power of a level 60 Soul Emperor to absorb it. Coupled with the quality of his martial soul, his terrifying physique, and his incredible mental strength, the best lifespan is enough to reach 15 years. The best lifespan of the fifth ring is about 30 years, and it is no problem for the sixth ring to absorb a 60-year soul ring.

Even if he didn't need the Soul Ring Age-doubling Card that ignored the Soul Ring's burden, You Chen's seventh ring was enough to absorb a million-year soul ring, which was the theoretical limit of the soul ring's age!

However, by that time, the total age of the spirit rings that You Chen II has endured will reach 190 million years, close to 200 million years!

With the cultivation of a Soul Saint, he could bear a soul ring with a lifespan of 200 million years...

Unless You Chen could rely on his first life to break through the two bottlenecks of Titled Douluo and Ultimate Douluo successively and upgrade his life level twice, or his Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power had a huge breakthrough, it was likely that his second life would not be able to attach any more soul rings.

This is a bit off topic, let's get back to the question of whether ten thousand years is the optimal age for the fifth ring.

The second element is naturally to absorb the mental power improved in the previous few stages.

Even though it is not as good as the improvement of mental power by spirit rings of more than ten thousand years, but after four spirit rings, plus the fact that humans' original mental power talent is far superior to that of soul beasts, this mental power also has a greater probability of reaching the spiritual realm, which is what later generations call 100 points of mental power.

Coupled with the resistance of the four spirit rings to mental shock, normally the ten thousand year spirit ring can be successfully attached as the fifth spirit ring.

However, the Sea Princess, whom You Chen is now preparing to hunt as his soul ring, is a soul beast whose main attribute is mental power.

After absorbing this soul ring, You Chen's spiritual power will definitely be able to directly enter the late stage of the spiritual realm and go a short distance.

And a better result is that the Sea Princess directly explodes her head soul bone. After absorbing her head soul bone, You Chen's mental power will definitely reach the peak of the Spirit Realm, and there is even a high probability that he will directly cross the threshold of the Divine Origin Realm. If coupled with the Longing for the Autumn Water Dew that You Chen deliberately kept until now, this high probability can be boldly increased to 100%.

Mental strength greatly affects the soul master's thinking speed and insight, and indirectly improves his talents in many aspects such as comprehending the origin of martial souls.

Using spiritual consciousness to conduct research and study will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of Youchen's subsequent training plans.

Due to various factors, You Chen is bound to win the heart of the Sea Princess.

Following the direction indicated by the nautical chart, You Chen quickly started on his journey again.

Flying from the West Sea to the North Sea, even at the speed of Youchen, it still took a full day.

The output of materials in this world, such as rare minerals and marine plants, are more likely to appear in places with higher energy concentrations.

For this reason, the West Sea of ​​Douluo Continent has become the most popular sea area for expedition fleets in the past six months.

The North Sea is the most popular sea area after the West Sea.

However, just like in the West Sea, where the spirit masters of Poseidon Island disguised themselves as pirates and plundered the fleet, which greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the adventurers who were sailing out, in the North Sea, a large number of spirit beasts began to attack the ships in an organized and systematic manner.

In addition, pirates are also rampant in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, which are less rich in resources.

Now, You Chen directly regards the pirates as the soul masters of the Sea God Island.
