Chapter 61 The Masked Douluo Dies; Have You Ever Heard of Sunset Forest...?
Masked Douluo stared intently at the holy sword that was slowly rising into the air, his pupils beneath the mask suddenly contracting.
Not right.
This time, he couldn't sense any divine power in the sword, not even the most basic soul power fluctuations. The sword seemed to have turned into an ordinary piece of iron, silently flying into the sky.
At this critical moment of life and death, he did not believe that the other party was bluffing. Just now, his mental attack, which was enough to shake a Super Douluo, landed on this quasi-Soul Master boy, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, without even a ripple. This was beyond the realm of common sense.
He wouldn't have believed it even if he were killed, unless he had watched the mask disappear into the other person's body.
Now, he has done something even more incomprehensible.
The unknown is the most terrifying. An unprecedented pressure, like an invisible tide, pressed down on him. He looked at the angelic holy sword slowly rising into the sky and felt that it was a hundred times more terrifying than when the holy light burned fiercely just now!
Almost instantly, Masked Douluo made a decision that seemed utterly absurd to others.
run.
Without hesitation, he turned around, his soul power exploding beneath his feet, and his entire body transformed into a streak of light, hurtling off into the distance.
Devouring angels is tempting, but you still need to be alive to enjoy it!
He made up his mind: rather than risk gambling here, he would rather tell the leader about the reappearance of the six-winged angel, and he would naturally be rewarded.
Ye Chenxing, who was gathering his strength, was also shocked by the other party's action and his eyes widened.
Seriously? A titled Douluo was scared away by two Soul Masters?
Do you have to be so cautious?
Although he was complaining in his heart, Ye Chenxing didn't stop working at all. How could he let the Title Douluo experience pack that was already in his mouth get away?
But how fast is a Title Douluo? In that short instant, the fleeing figure was already about to break through his shooting range limit.
Is it too late?
Ye Chenxing gritted her teeth, not caring about anything else, even though she wasn't completely free yet...
Upon realizing this, the Angelic Holy Sword stopped in mid-air, and a strange light began to emanate from its blade.
Real name solution...
The next moment, something strange happened.
In the distant sky, the Masked Douluo's speeding figure seemed to be grabbed from the void by an invisible hand. His body suddenly stiffened, and he fell straight down from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.
puff!puff!puff!
The chilling sounds of flesh tearing apart echoed one after another.
Countless jet-black thorns, as if alive, frantically burrowed out from his mouth, eyes, ears, nose, and from under every inch of his skin that covered his body. Before his blood could even flow, it was absorbed by the greedy thorns. The Masked Douluo didn't even have time to let out a scream before he perished on the spot in an extremely bizarre and terrifying way.
Ye Chenxing stopped moving.
Accompanied by a hoarse, deep voice, the soil beside Ye Chenxing churned up.
A tall, thin figure, draped in a dark green robe, appeared like a ghost.
It is one of the ten most ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Demon Eye Tree – the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
The Demon King ignored the pitiful corpse in the distance, instead placing one hand on his chest and bowing deeply to Ye Chenxing.
"Sensing that you were fighting here, I rushed over immediately. But I never expected..."
"You actually managed to force a human Title Douluo to flee in disarray with your cultivation level of less than level 30. In all my hundreds of thousands of years of life, I have never seen such a talent and beauty."
After a long while, the Demon King realized that Ye Chenxing had not replied. Looking up, he saw Ye Chenxing in mid-air, holding one hand high, ready to unleash his treasure. His whole body seemed to have been completely weathered into a stone sculpture.
Seeing Ye Chenxing's appearance, the Demon King standing below felt a sudden tightness in his heart.
Finished!
Evil spirit masters have always used bizarre methods, could it be!
Thinking of this, the Demon King panicked and cautiously flew forward, his voice full of worry:
"Child of Nature, are you...are you alright?"
Ye Chenxing turned around blankly, looked at the Demon King in front of her, and slowly shook her head.
Immediately afterwards, a look of heartbroken grief and indignation appeared on his face.
"Old Wan! Old Wan!"
"Why...why did you steal my kill?!"
The Demon King was stunned on the spot.
"what?"
"That's all the experience I used to level up!"
Ye Chenxing clutched his chest, heartbroken, and accused, "My Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul possesses the ability to purify evil! Whenever I personally kill an evil Soul Master, I receive Soul Power feedback, which I can use to level up! That eight-ring Soul Douluo was devoured by him, and I've already lost a huge amount of my own resources. Now… now an entire level 91 Title Douluo! All gone because of your thorny bush!!!"
In the end, Ye Chenxing was truly on the verge of tears. That was a super experience pack for a Title Douluo! Especially after this, it would be even harder for him to catch wild evil soul masters.
Upon hearing this explanation, the Demon King's forehead instantly broke out in a thick layer of cold sweat.
"This, this, this..."
"I am so sorry, Child of Nature! I was simply too anxious to save people, that's why...that's why!"
Ye Chenxing didn't speak, but stared at him with an extremely resentful look.
I don't know if the Demon Eye Tree counts as an evil spirit beast, or if killing it will level me up.
If only Tang Sanzang were here, with his flexible judgment of evil, and if he were to awaken a martial soul that could reward soul power for killing evil, Douluo Continent would have to be renamed Soul Master.
"Old Wan, I'm the kind of person who..." Ye Chenxing said slowly, drawing out his words, "I hate apologizing afterward the most."
The Demon King shuddered and quickly reached into his wide, dark green sleeves.
Suddenly, an extremely rich life force spread out. Ye Chenxing looked closely and saw that what the Demon King was holding in his hands was a piece of emerald green metal.
As soon as this piece of metal appeared, the already dilapidated stronghold of the evil spirit masters was filled with a vibrant life force that made one's pores feel refreshed.
"This is..." Ye Chenxing's pupils contracted sharply, a hint of undisguised surprise flashing in his eyes, "The Gold of Life?"
The Demon King was also slightly surprised: "As expected of the Child of Nature, you can even recognize such a divine object of heaven and earth at a glance."
Ye Chenxing glanced at the piece of living gold, then looked up at the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
"For me?"
"It is entirely up to the Child of Nature to decide!"
What else is there to say! We're all brothers!
Ye Chenxing smiled and patted the Demon King on the shoulder: "Let's go, Old Wan, let's leave here first. The Mingdu city defense army should be here soon."
--------
Suburb
At this moment, Ye Chenxing was holding the piece of emerald green metal in his hand and examining it closely.
"So this is the legendary Gold of Life, it truly lives up to its name." Feeling the massive amount of life force emanating from this metal, Ye Chenxing couldn't help but smile, and the grief and indignation of losing the Title Douluo experience pack was instantly thrown to the winds.
But as he looked around, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Ye Chenxing held the piece of emerald green metal and turned to look at the Demon King with suspicion.
"Old Wan, why does this piece of 'Life Gold' you gave me look so rough? What's with all these pits and marks on it?"
Upon hearing Ye Chenxing's question, the Demon King's expression immediately became somewhat strange.
He couldn't help but recall the instructions the Silver Dragon King had given him before his departure.
"Remember, give him this, but you only need to stay by his side and protect him, observe what kind of person he truly is, and never mention a single word about me to him."
"My lord, since you have gifted such a priceless treasure, why are you unwilling to even reveal your identity?"
The girl raised her eyebrows slightly.
"What do you know? I have my own rhythm."
"Reporting to Your Majesty," the Demon King replied earnestly, "The reason this piece of metal is incomplete is because a turtle-like soul beast, unaware of its own limitations, once took advantage of our inattention and forcibly gnawed a piece off of it."
"Later, it was the Lord of Soul Beasts who personally took action and killed that beast, thus reclaiming the remaining parts."
While remaining loyal to the Silver Dragon King, the Demon King was unwilling to lie to the Child of Nature, so he used the title "Lord of Soul Beasts".
Well, it turns out that the turtle gnawed it off.
Ye Chenxing silently mourned for the golden hawksbill turtle. Originally, its inherent luck protected it so much that even Di Tian couldn't discover that it was stealing the gold of life. Now, because of his arrival, Di Tian awakened the Silver Dragon King, and with the Silver Dragon King's intervention, the golden hawksbill turtle's fate was inevitable.
Indeed, Ye Chenxing was able to deduce the truth. The title "Lord of Soul Beasts" might fool others, but it wouldn't fool him. In his view, after his conversation with Di Tian, the other party would undoubtedly awaken the Silver Dragon King to verify the information.
After learning that the divine realm could not interfere with the lower realm, the Silver Dragon King naturally chose to emerge from seclusion.
He never expected that this Silver Dragon King, who was inherently hostile to humans, would be willing to give him such a generous gift right from the start.
Just how precious is the gold of life?
Ye Chenxing knew all too well that back then, even a demigod-level powerhouse like Electrolux, who had once stood at the pinnacle of a plane, praised the Gold of Life highly upon seeing it.
In the original story, the piece of Life Gold that Huo Yuhao found at the Starlight Auction House was only about the size of a carving knife, yet it required the life force of the entire Star Dou Great Forest to nurture it for a full two hundred thousand years! And if all the life force transformed from the giant fat silkworm's cultivation of a million years were converted into Life Gold, it would only be the size of a teardrop.
This thing has an incredibly powerful effect. Its immense and pure life force can not only help the host open up a second sea of consciousness, but also grant the host a terrifying regenerative ability that is almost immortal. Its effect even surpasses the regenerative ability of a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone!
But for Ye Chenxing, who owns the Imaginary Tree, the Gold of Life has an even more irreplaceable strategic significance—it is an excellent source of nourishment for the Imaginary Tree!
If this piece of living gold is given to the Imaginary Tree to absorb, it will surely grow, and at that time, the Imaginary Tree will definitely be able to give it more abilities.
Thinking of this, his gaze towards the Demon King beside him became kind and gentle.
"Then I thank your 'Soul Beast Lord' very much."
Ye Chenxing smiled and tossed the Gold of Life into his storage soul tool, asking in a cheerful mood, "But why did you come to the Sun Moon Empire to find me this time? It can't just be to give me this Gold of Life, right? Could it be that Di Tian..."
Upon hearing Ye Chenxing's question, the Demon King couldn't help but become serious.
"My Lord, Child of Nature, besides bringing you gifts, I have another, more important mission in leaving the Star Dou Great Forest to find you, which is also the agreement we made at the beginning."
"I will offer myself as a sacrifice to you."
"Your subordinate has sensed that your soul power has reached the bottleneck of level 30."
The Demon King took a deep breath: "Originally, I wanted to become your protector, but I didn't expect your advancement speed to be so fast. Since that's the case, when I offer my sacrifice is entirely up to your will. I can now become your third soul ring for advancing to level 30 Soul Master!"
Upon hearing this, even the air seemed to fall silent for a moment.
Even the King of Ten Thousand Demons couldn't help but feel a sense of awe when he uttered those words.
A level 30 Soul Master, absorbing the Demon Eye Tree, one of the ten most ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest with a cultivation level of 530,000 years, as his third soul ring. He simply couldn't imagine how powerful the Child of Nature would become if he truly took this step!
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxing straightened his expression. He was naturally more than happy to accept the sacrifice of the Demon King at this moment!
According to his original plan, his third Heroic Spirit slot was intended to be filled by a Heroic Spirit who was more inclined towards healing and support to complete the lineup.
Now, with this piece of living gold as a catalyst, and the Demon King, a top-tier plant-type ferocious beast, as the third soul ring...
hiss......
Ye Chenxing remembered that Devil Island from the Dragon King Legend era seemed to have a strong connection with the Goddess of Life.
Could this be considered a legend in the Douluo Continent...?
Why don't we actually try to summon the goddess of life?
Even setting aside the matter of summoning new heroic spirits, Ye Chenxing had long coveted the Demon King's own bizarre and unpredictable beastly innate skills.
Ye Chenxing pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Old Wan, let me ask you something. If we disregard all external factors and allow you to cultivate freely, do you think you can withstand a maximum of a few more tribulations given your current foundation?"
The Demon King was clearly taken aback, not expecting Ye Chenxing to suddenly ask such a question, but he still answered truthfully:
"To my shame, I was originally mediocre and had no talent to become a 500,000-year-old ferocious beast. It was only a long time ago that I accidentally devoured a fairy herb. It was thanks to that fairy herb that my physique, attributes and potential were able to be transformed into a top-level plant-type soul beast and barely make it into the ranks of the top ten ferocious beasts."
"But having reached this point, with 530,000 years of cultivation, the essence left by that immortal herb from back then has been completely squeezed out. I am not confident... that I can withstand the next heavenly tribulation."
Ye Chenxing listened quietly, nodded in deep agreement, and then spoke mysteriously:
"Old Wan, have you ever heard of Sunset Forest...?"
