Chapter 235 Demigods
This level?
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression was uncertain; at this moment, he couldn't discern what realm Ding Quan was at.
The pressure generated by this spiritual power was enough to suppress him, now that he had condensed two soul cores and reached level ninety-nine.
Golden Crocodile glanced again at the vertical eye on Ding Quan's forehead. The aura emanating from that eye was no less powerful than that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Is it more dangerous than facing the deep-sea whale king?
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression suddenly changed, his eyes fixed on Ding Quan's brow. Although he was not a spirit attribute soul master, his strength had reached level ninety-nine, and none of his spiritual power was weak.
Several mental pressures that did not belong to Ding Quan suddenly appeared on his body.
At this moment, a huge evil eye appeared above Ding Quan's spiritual sea, making Ding Quan's spiritual sea extremely strange.
The golden dragon soul, which was over a hundred meters long, no longer seemed enormous in front of this huge evil eye. The Titan Giant Ape Erming, whose size was less than twenty meters, and the Golden Junmao appeared even smaller in front of it.
"Evil Emperor, it's been a long time!"
The Snow Emperor's figure appeared above the Golden Dragon's head, looking at the evil eye above him that was over three hundred meters long and covered with tentacles.
"Snow Empress! Your initial judgment was indeed correct! This body is truly powerful!"
A wave emanated from the enormous evil eye, carrying clear information within its extremely domineering spiritual power.
Xue Di's words directly revealed the identity of this giant evil eye.
There is only one being who can be called the Evil Emperor, and that is the overlord of the Evil Soul Forest, the Evil Eye Tyrant.
This is a ferocious beast that is 790,000 years old.
Although Xue Di spoke calmly, her expression was quite serious.
"Of course!" As the Snow Empress who guided Ding Quan in constructing his soul core, she witnessed Ding Quan constructing his first soul core at the Soul Saint stage. Moreover, the soul power contained in that soul core surprised her. That soul core actually absorbed nearly half of the soul power she had after condensing two soul cores.
This meant that after Ding Quan became a Soul Saint, he no longer had to worry about the consumption of his soul power.
Later, at the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo, Ding Quan constructed a second spiritual soul core under the effect of his soul bone fusion skill, at which point Ding Quan possessed the ability to absorb ferocious beast soul rings.
Now, Xue Di has personally witnessed Ding Quan, without any help, absorb the soul bone and soul ring of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and directly construct an unprecedented third soul core.
Ding Quan's third soul core is covered in five colors, which are the five elements in his chest, representing five attributes, but these are not just five attributes.
As for Ding Quan's current physical strength, he is able to absorb the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year-old soul ring. At this moment, Ding Quan possesses the body of a demigod!
Furthermore, under the extreme compression of the three soul cores, the quality of soul power is now beginning to improve; if...
"So you know my purpose?" The enormous eyes darted around, taking another look at the Sea of Spirit. The Evil Emperor was now extremely cautious; the situation here seemed quite different from what he had expected! "You specifically sought me out in the first place?"
The Evil Emperor stared at the seemingly tiny Snow Emperor, his tone full of certainty despite his question.
"Pure spiritual attribute Evil Eye Tyrants are extremely rare, especially those over 100,000 years old. It's unlikely they would appear in a place like that." The Snow Empress's tone remained calm. "Moreover, that Evil Eye Tyrant's strength was extraordinary. I sensed your involvement back then, and now it seems you really did have such thoughts."
The Snow Empress was not surprised by this. After all, becoming a god is not only the pursuit of soul masters. Soul beasts, once they reach a certain level of strength and acquire intelligence, also yearn to become gods.
The possibility of becoming a god has appeared before him. For the Evil Eye Tyrant, whose strength has already reached the pinnacle of the continent, he will not let such an opportunity slip away.
This was far too easy for the Evil Eye Tyrant clan, which was known for its spiritual attributes. Ding Quan had obtained an external soul bone after sacrificing the Evil Eye Tyrant, which was over 100,000 years old. The vertical eye soul bone on his forehead was one of the two soul skills he possessed. Mental control was definitely stronger than the other skill, Light of Time and Space.
Ding Quan later used this skill to control Zhu Zhuqing and condense her soul core. This is a skill that allows one to completely control the other person's body.
Furthermore, if permitted, it is even possible to suppress or erase the mind of the controlled person.
Just like Tang Chen, who was controlled by the Nine-Headed Blood-Red Bat King in the City of Slaughter.
"Becoming a god! It's not just you who pursues it, but I'm different from you. You have no choice, but I do!"
"You have no choice now!" A clear voice rang out in the sea of consciousness, directly interrupting the Evil Emperor, and the entire sea of consciousness began to churn.
"You!" The Evil Emperor's enormous eyes looked at the figure that had appeared beneath the Dragon Abyss Sword. He was quite familiar with this person.
Back in the Evil Soul Forest, this person was able to defeat his own kind, a 100,000-year-old kin with pure spiritual attributes, using only level 80 soul power. This was because his own spiritual power intervened. The 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant's strength had definitely reached the level of a ferocious beast.
With skills like the Light of Time and Space added, it's even more dangerous than facing some ferocious beasts.
To the Evil Emperor's surprise, Ding Quan had just been promoted to Title Douluo, but his mental strength exceeded his expectations.
Ding Quan felt the Evil Emperor's spiritual power sweep over him. The other party was indeed a powerful being with an age of 790,000 years and top-notch spiritual attributes.
He now possesses a ninth spirit ring that lasts for a million years, and with the enhancement of his spiritual power from the Xuanhuo Tong spirit bone in his head, it has now reached an extremely terrifying level.
The spiritual core began to rotate, and the spiritual power and soul power became almost tangible.
Even the Golden Crocodile Douluo at this moment had to release his soul power and mental power to resist such spiritual power.
At this moment, my mental strength is definitely above level 99! And it definitely exceeds level 99.
At this moment, the Evil Emperor did not seem to make any move, indicating that his current situation was still under its control.
As expected of a spirit beast that even Huo Gua, who possesses a spirit ring with a spiritual attribute that is millions of years old and whose level is much higher than his own, would find difficult to deal with after ten thousand years, is indeed a spirit beast.
Ding Quan was on high alert, looking at the Evil Eye Tyrant, who only possessed mental energy, with extreme vigilance.
Mental power is different from soul power. Clashes of mental power are extremely dangerous. If one fails, one might end up like Tang Chen, who was parasitized by the nine-headed blood-red bat.
His soul power was still a bit lacking. Ding Quan sensed the soul power in his body. His level had reached level 97. After absorbing the soul bone and soul ring of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, his level jumped seven levels!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year-old soul ring possesses immense energy; if it were all used to upgrade its level, it might be even higher.
However, much of the energy in this spirit ring is shared by the spirit bones on the body, used to enhance the strength of the spirit bones.
Of course, more importantly, condensing the third spirit ring consumes too much power, and it is extremely difficult for a spirit master to advance to these last few levels.
"You want to seize my body through mind control and use my talents to become a god?"
"That's right!"
"Unfortunately, even if you take over my body, you still absolutely cannot do it."
"Really?" The Evil Emperor didn't believe it. He had just sensed the power of Ding Quan's body.
Three Soul Cores!
Furthermore, it is a third soul core constructed based on the dual soul cores of Yin and Yang complementing each other.
This is something I couldn't do even with my powerful mental strength.
The Evil Emperor possesses dual soul cores that complement each other's yin and yang, which is why he was able to cultivate for 790,000 years. It is also the reason why, thousands of years later, he had the confidence to challenge Di Tian, who also possessed dual soul cores that complemented each other's yin and yang and had been cultivated for over 800,000 years.
Although the Evil Emperor is not as old as Emperor Tian, in terms of spiritual power, Emperor Tian is no match for him.
Of course, the Dragon Clan possesses extremely high mental resistance. The Evil Emperor's mental power is indeed strong, but it is unrealistic to expect to defeat Di Tian, who is at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, solely through mental power.
By condensing the Yin and Yang complementary dual soul cores, one's strength reaches the pinnacle of the continent.
Those three soul cores! Once one's cultivation reaches level ninety-nine, becoming a god will no longer be as unattainable as it is now.
"Evil Emperor, are you the only one with such thoughts? Before, I encountered someone who shared your ideas, and the person it controlled had already begun the Divine Trial. Once completed, they could become a god." Ding Quan looked at the Evil Emperor. In the center of his spiritual sea, the Dragon Abyss Sword fell into Ding Quan's hand. Ding Quan pointed the sword at the Evil Emperor. "That person's level had already reached ninety-nine, but clearly, it failed!"
The person Ding Quan was referring to was naturally Tang Chen. As someone who had initiated the Nine Trials of Asura, Tang Chen would probably have become the God of Asura by now, if it weren't for the Nine-Headed Blood-Red Bat King.
"oh?"
"Besides, you might not be able to control me!"
This is Ding Quan's spiritual sea. The Evil Emperor's spiritual power is indeed strong, but he may not be able to control Ding Quan, whose spiritual power is also at its peak at this time.
When Ding Quan used the Dragon Abyss Sword, it shone with golden light and then headed towards the Evil Emperor and his spiritual body.
Thump!
Ripples spread across the sea of spirit as two spiritual forces collided violently.
The Golden Dragon Soul glanced at the two spiritual energies that had already clashed between Ding Quan and the Evil Emperor, then looked at the Golden Steed that was now lying down. Seeing that the Snow Emperor had not made any move, she was also sitting cross-legged, watching the clash between the two spiritual energies with their different auras, just like the Steed.
"We don't need to intervene," Xue Di said to Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape who seemed somewhat uneasy beside her. "Although the Evil Emperor's aura is powerful right now, what we see before us may not be the real him."
As an evil emperor with a lifespan of 790,000 years, he should still have a backup plan, since his next tribulation should also be in 10,000 years.
Moreover, the Evil Emperor is very powerful, and his next tribulation is not insurmountable for him.
He wouldn't gamble everything on a possibility that's not yet entirely certain whether he can become a god.
"You're right. Although his aura is powerful at this moment, it doesn't contain his spiritual essence!" A deep voice came, and a tall figure appeared next to the golden Suanni.
"Without his spiritual essence?" Xue Di nodded immediately. Sure enough, the other party had left her a backup plan. The Evil Emperor could only survive his eighth tribulation ten thousand years later, which would allow him to live for another hundred thousand years.
Given such a lifespan, he wouldn't place all his hopes on a Soul Master whose lifespan would only be around a thousand years even if they cultivated to level ninety-nine, even if that Soul Master had the potential to become a god.
"That's right."
The origin is the core of a soul beast or a soul master. Once the origin is damaged, it becomes extremely difficult to improve one's strength.
The soul beast's essence was damaged, making it impossible for it to survive the heavenly tribulation.
"In that case, let him see that Ding Quan is definitely capable of becoming a god!" Xue Di said in a deep voice, then nodded to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"He will definitely not let this opportunity slip by."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King nodded. Under the aura surrounding the Golden Lion, even the Evil Emperor, whose spiritual power was incredibly strong, had failed to detect his presence.
"That's natural, but that will be our opportunity." Xue Di said, looking up at the height of the Sea of Spirit. At this moment, the battle between Xie Di and Ding Quan seemed to be somewhat restrained, and did not cause too much ripple in the Sea of Spirit.
"You really do care about him!"
"This is for my sake. Once he absorbs the Evil Emperor's essence, he may no longer need to inherit someone else's godhood when he becomes a god," the Snow Emperor said in a deep voice. At this time, Ding Quan's cultivation had reached level ninety-seven, but the Asura God he had previously intended to inherit seemed to have chosen Ling.
Ling Chengshen and his group could also ascend to the God Realm, but Ding Quan lost the desire to seek a godhood after Ling was able to use the Asura Demon Sword.
This is normal. According to Ding Quan, there is indeed a divine succession on the Douluo Continent, but the strongest one is the Asura God. The Asura God is one of the five great god kings of the god realm and holds a pivotal position in the god realm.
Then came the sea god and the angel god, as well as a Rakshasa who had some connection with the Asura god.
However, these gods already have successors, and the only way to replace them is to wait for these successors to die out.
However, it is unrealistic to expect these successors to perish. As successors who have received the divine throne, they have obviously come into the sight of the gods. If any action is taken against these successors, the gods behind them will probably take action in secret. These successors are more or less tainted with divine power, and it would be easy for the gods to use them to take action.
This is also why the group didn't go for the kill when facing the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City.
Ding Quan did have this concern. Although Tang Chen stopped at the eighth trial of Shura at that time, those who could reach the seventh trial could become the high priest of the god.
At this time, the City of Slaughter was not destroyed by the blood-red swan kiss that Tang San threw in the original work. If the God of Asura was willing, Tang Chen, who had returned to normal at that time, would indeed be very likely to become the high priest of the God of Asura.
Moreover, according to Tang San, who obtained the Asura Demon Sword left behind by Tang Chen, the Asura Demon Sword that Tang Chen condensed was the same as the High Priest of God, a key to unlocking the inheritance of divine positions.
"Indeed, I have the body of a demigod and the soul power of divinity. Now all I lack is the spirit of a god." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sensed the spiritual power that was no weaker than his own at his peak, and his eyes flashed with a scarlet light.
