However, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, just like the Blue Silver Emperor that appeared in the Blue Silver Grass clan after a hundred thousand years, the Thousand Jun Ant clan also gave birth to three soul beasts that were more than ninety thousand years old: the three brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor!
The Qianjun Ant has a fatal weakness, which is the lack of attack means and weak attack power! It is somewhat similar to a turtle.
Where there are disadvantages, there are advantages.
Ants are incredibly strong for their size! An ant can lift more than 400 times its own weight and haul more than 1700 times its own weight.
Each of the three brothers of the Thousand-Jun Ant King weighs about 1000 kilograms, which means that they can lift up to 400 tons of objects and drag up to 1700 tons of objects.
In addition, the Thousand-Jun Ant King not only has amazing defensive power, but also has the ability to fly.
Their spirit rings are very suitable for the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Martial Soul, and also for the Hongmeng Tianchi Martial Soul. Although the Hongmeng Tianchi Martial Soul is mainly a merit-based martial soul, it is also very strong in the three areas of defense, space, and strength.
The next morning, Zhuang Xingyu had arrived at the northern outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest.
Grandma and father need to stay in charge of the family. Hunting the three brothers of Thousand Jun Ant King is not too difficult this time. Therefore, Zhuang Xingyu did not let Murong Yunxue and others accompany him, and only brought the puppet Zhuang Shushen.
The Thousand-Tier Ant King increases its lifespan by devouring other Thousand-Tier Ant colonies. Their whereabouts are erratic, and they will not live in fixed caves unless they are allowed to live in the Lake of Life, which is full of spiritual energy.
The last time the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan observed its traces was when the twelve core elders obtained the eighth soul ring, in the south-central part of the Star Dou Great Forest.
With Zhuang Shushen's protection, Zhuang Xingyu did not circle along the outer edge of the Xingdou Great Forest. Instead, he took a straight path, slanting into the central and western parts of the forest and heading directly to the central and southern parts of the forest to look for the Thousand-Tien Ant King.
While moving forward, he activated the Chaos Pearl to explore the situation within a radius of forty miles, greatly improving the efficiency of the search.
The reason why Tang San hunted the Thousand Jun Ant King in the original time and space was that the Thousand Jun Ant King occupied the Lake of Life after Da Ming and Er Ming sacrificed themselves. Tang San said that Da Ming and Er Ming were good friends of Xiao Wu, and he couldn't let their territory be occupied; and he said that the Thousand Jun Ant King was very evil, and he, Tang San, wanted to enforce justice and kill the Thousand Jun Ant King.
Totally hilarious!
Tang San came to the Star Dou Great Forest for the purpose of hunting soul beasts. When he passed by the Lake of Life, he remembered that Xiao Wu asked him to go to the Lake of Life and insisted that he went to the Lake of Life specifically to pay tribute to Da Ming and Er Ming.
If you want to hunt down the three brothers of Qianjun Ant King to make spirit rings, why don’t you just say it directly, Tang San? Why do you have to find a lot of excuses!
What do you mean by the Thousand-Tien Ant King taking over the magpie's nest? The Lake of Life was not originally owned by Da Ming and Er Ming! They also snatched it from other soul beasts, and only became the gatekeeper of the Lake of Life after becoming a hundred thousand year soul beast.
Besides, Xiao Wu's original words were to ask Tang San to drive away the soul beasts occupying the Lake of Life, not to hunt them! Although Xiao Wu was not a good guy either.
Tang San also said that the Qianjun Ant King devoured its own kind, which was evil, so he wanted to destroy them on behalf of justice. The three brothers of the Qianjun Ant King were also forced to do so. They were originally loyal to the former Ant King, but later the Ant King wanted to kill them, so they rose up to resist and devoured their own kind.
The resources in Douluo Continent today are limited, so the law of the jungle is inevitable. Even the human race is like this, let alone soul beasts. There is no right or wrong!
Hard work pays off. By the afternoon, Zhuang Xingyu finally sensed the breath of the three brothers of the Qianjun Ant King. He quickly restrained his breath and slowly approached. The Qianjun Ant King also appeared in his sight.
The Qianjun Ant King is not as tall and mighty as most 90,000-year-old animal-type soul beasts. The three brothers together are only nine meters long.
If you ignore their powerful aura, apart from being larger in size, their appearance is no different from ordinary ants. They all have black and gold hard shells, six short legs, six green eyes, and similar markings on their bodies.
Zhuang Xingyu controlled Zhuang Shushen to slowly approach the Thousand Jun Ant King, while he himself escaped into the Chaos Pearl space, preparing for a sneak attack.
When it was 70 meters away from the Thousand-Jun Ant King, the Thousand-Jun Ant King discovered Zhuang Shushen's trace.
Zhuang Shushen no longer held back his breath, his soul power instantly boiling, he first summoned his sixth soul skill for group attack to launch an indiscriminate attack on the three brothers, then activated his martial soul's true form and attacked the Qianjun Ant on the far left, intending to defeat them one by one.
The three Qianjun Ant King brothers were in tune with each other's minds. Facing the attack of the Level 96 Super Douluo, the three brothers hugged each other and rolled into a ball to absorb a lot of the attack. With their strong defensive power, they rolled more than ten times and actually resisted the attack. It seemed that they did not suffer any serious injuries.
Afterwards, the three brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant King did not show any fear, nor did they intend to escape. The Thousand Jun Ant on the left immediately crawled towards the underground of Zhuang Shushen, the Thousand Jun Ant in the middle confronted Zhuang Shushen head-on, and the Thousand Jun Ant on the right spread its transparent wings, intending to fly over Zhuang Shushen. They actually tried to encircle Zhuang Shushen from all directions.
Zhuang Shushen would not sit and wait for them to outflank her. She immediately flew backwards, away from the Thousand Jun Ant King in the sky and to prevent a sneak attack from the Thousand Jun Ant King underground. She then used her eighth soul skill to attack the Thousand Jun Ant King in front of her.
Seeing this, the remaining two Qianjun ants turned their back shells towards Zhuang Shushen and charged towards her from above and below.
If Zhuang Shushen had to face the closely coordinated attack of the three brothers of Qianjun Ant King alone, it would probably take some time. But don't forget that Zhuang Xingyu is still hiding in the Chaos Pearl space!
Now, the fragile abdomens of the two Thousand Jun Ant Kings on the left and right were completely exposed in the air. Zhuang Xingyu immediately activated the Eight Meridians Divine Spears attached to his external soul bones, jumped out of the Chaos Pearl space, and then threw out four divine spears at each of the two Thousand Jun Ants on the left and right.
The divine spear pierced deeply into the abdomen of the Thousand-Tien Ant King, and the deadly poison attached to it also spread into its body, making a "sizzling" corrosion sound. Even their greatest weapon: the shell, was partially separated from the flesh and turned dim.
The two Thousand-Tier Ant Kings on the left and right only felt a sharp pain and began to shake violently in the air. The direction of the impact also deviated and crashed straight into the ground on both sides of Zhuang Shushen.
Without the support of the other brothers, how could the Thousand-Tier Ant King in front resist Zhuang Shushen's eighth soul skill? Its carapace was directly torn in half, and four of its six legs were broken. It was blown away with the soil for hundreds of meters, and slid into a deep ditch. It exhaled more than it inhaled, and Yanran only had one breath left. This was the result of Zhuang Shushen's deliberate control.
Zhuang Xingyu rushed forward and killed it directly.
Zhuang Shushen used his seventh soul skill again, punching the remaining two Thousand Jun Ant Kings with two fists, one on the left and one on the right. The Thousand Jun Ants, whose carapaces were already damaged, could not withstand the attack, and everything below their chests was blasted into snow mist.
Zhuang Xingyu immediately put the three soul beasts into the Chaos Pearl Space, put away the puppet Zhuang Shushen, and escaped into the Chaos Pearl Space himself.
Explanation of the Lake of Life in the text: In Douluo Dalu 1, the humans on Douluo Continent seem to not know that the lake in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest is called the Lake of Life. For convenience, this chapter will just call it that.
Chapter 84 Three Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings, Three Domain Fusion Technique
Within the Chaos Pearl space, three black and red soul rings gradually condensed on the remains of the three brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant King.
After adjusting his state in a relatively short time, Zhuang Xingyu directly revealed the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Martial Soul and the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler. Although in Douluo Continent, the two martial souls cannot be used at the same time, but now in the Chaos Pearl space, Zhuang Xingyu can ignore this rule.
Zhuang Xingyu pulled three soul rings at the same time, one to the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard spirit, and two to the Hongmeng Heaven-Reaching Ruler spirit. He did not intend to use the authority of the Chaos Pearl to directly eliminate the danger in the three soul rings, but decided to absorb them with his own strength, otherwise relying on external objects blindly would not achieve the effect of sharpening.
When the three spirit rings were attached to Zhuang Xingyu at the same time, changes began: the three spirit rings actually broke their respective boundaries, and the internal spirit power began to flow.
In particular, the remnant souls of the three brothers of the Qianjun Ant King gradually merged together.
It might be that the three brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant King were in tune with each other during their lifetime and were together all the time, but now they were hunted by a young human soul master of level 50 at the same time, and huge resentment accumulated in their hearts.
The effect of 1+1+1>>3 was achieved. The soul ring, which was originally black with red, gradually became more red, and finally completely replaced the black and turned bright red.
Afterwards, the three soul rings that had already broken their respective boundaries and had connected soul power separated again, and the boundaries were regenerated, transforming into three hundred thousand year soul rings.
However, the color is lighter than when they were fused together. But even so, they are still three genuine hundred thousand year soul rings!
The three soul rings began to rush left and right, attacking Zhuang Xingyu's body and soul, trying to escape from Zhuang Xingyu's restraint.
While absorbing three hundred thousand year soul rings at the same time, Zhuang Xingyu felt unprecedented pressure, and a few streams of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
This was the first time that Zhuang Xingyu vomited blood since coming to Douluo Continent.
The violent energy in the soul ring was unwilling to be absorbed by Zhuang Xingyu, and launched wave after wave of attacks. The energy that had already entered the body also desperately fled outwards, destroying the meridians in the body.
The energy in the spirit ring that was not absorbed into the body, combined with the remaining soul of the Thousand-Tier Ant King, attacked Zhuang Xingyu outside the body. And the attack was staggered with the attack inside the body, not giving Zhuang Xingyu any breathing time.
The body became a battlefield where the soul ring and the body's own soul power fought against each other, but while the soul and flesh were under great pressure, they also became stronger.
Zhuang Xingyu, on the other hand, was concentrating all his efforts on operating the three major realms of life, the realm of extreme yin and yang, and the realm of Hongmeng merit. The blood in his body also exerted a huge suppression on the remaining soul of the Thousand Jun Ant King.
Gradually blocking the attack of the soul ring energy and entering a stalemate phase, Zhuang Xingyu finally got a chance to catch his breath.
After a period of confrontation, Zhuang Xingyu began to mobilize the soul power of his whole body, forcing the energy in the soul ring into his left and right arm bones. He suppressed and assimilated the violent energy through the soul bones, and then transferred the assimilated energy to other parts of the body. At the same time, he also gradually wore away the seal on the soul bones, allowing the soul bones to be further unsealed.
One hour later, the violent energy in the three soul rings could not be replenished and began to lose strength, like duckweed in the water, unable to sustain wave after wave of attacks. Zhuang Xingyu's injuries gradually healed, his breath stabilized, and the critical period was over.
Zhuang Xingyu also began to enter the counterattack phase, drawing all the violent energy in the soul ring into his body, dividing it and assimilating it one by one. In the end, only 1/10 of the energy was not absorbed, and this energy also gave up resistance and actively merged into Zhuang Xingyu's soul power to strengthen the meridians in his body.
The soul power began to increase rapidly, level 51, level 52... until level 57, the breakthrough momentum slowed down, Zhuang Xingyu integrated the excess soul power into the body to improve the physical strength. In the end, the soul power was fixed at level 59! But the actual combat power has reached the level of invincibility under the title.
"Boom!"
That was the sound of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao breaking through, reaching the peak of the 5th level of Yuqing!
A warm current flowed from his mind and surged throughout his body. Zhuang Xingyu's consciousness emptied and his soul seemed to enter another world.
Even the Star Forest outside the Chaos Pearl space was affected. Within a hundred meters, the wind slowed down, and the leaves stayed in the air. The two thousand-year-old gophers that were originally fighting also calmed down and closed their eyes, as if they were enjoying something. In just a few minutes, their age increased by nearly a thousand years.
Zhuang Xingyu's consciousness was walking unconsciously in a strange space. The space was like a dream, boundless, but the things inside existed very real. It seemed like a thousand years had passed, and sometimes it seemed like only a second had passed. It was hard to describe.
It looks more like the interior location recorded in the Taoist Canon.
Zhuang Xingyu subconsciously told himself that this was a great opportunity and he should stay a little longer. However, after half an hour had passed in the outside world, Zhuang Xingyu suddenly felt that the space began to reject him. The more he didn't want to leave, the more he was driven away.
During this half hour, the spiritual power of Zhuang Xingyu's body circulated automatically without any pattern, just moving in accordance with the frequency of his breathing. However, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual power was much faster than by following the breathing method.
The life field, the Hongmeng merit field, and the extreme Yin and Yang field gradually merged and finally formed a field fusion technique.
Zhuang Xingyu also woke up at this time, feeling the changes in his body, and found that his soul power had not increased much, but he felt that there were many more things in his body, which would be of great help to his future development.
Looking at the dark purple halo around him, he said in surprise: "The three realms actually formed a realm fusion skill: [Reincarnation Dao Wave]! And the original three realms can still be used normally."
"The Samsara Dao Wave seems to involve time, space, and reincarnation. Unfortunately, I am not strong enough now, and I cannot tap into this ability. Now this domain fusion plan only has one attack function, and its power can reach the level of a 97th-level Super Douluo, but it consumes too much soul power, and I actually need to consume % directly. I'll just use it as one of my life-saving trump cards!"
"I can't use it casually in the future. Fortunately, as my soul power grows, the proportion of soul power consumption will continue to decrease."
Afterwards, Zhuang Xingyu went to check the bodies of the three Qianjun Ant King brothers and found that there were no soul bones inside. "There's nothing to regret. Their bodies are only 90,000 years old and cannot produce soul bones 100%. I have gained such a great benefit today, which is enough."
Zhuang Xingyu did not stay any longer and set off to return to his family.
This time he did not go through the secret passage, nor did he return directly to Jidao Yinyang Bao City, but instead inspected the family along the Jidao Yinyang Bao River.
Looking at the busy dock, there was shipload after shipload of cultivation resources being shipped in, and there were also many ships loaded with goods produced by the family being sent to the entire continent.
The roads on both sides of the river have been renovated, and now a market has been formed here. Many vendors with foreign accents gather here. The bargaining of buyers and the shouting of vendors... it is very lively.
Everything is in order.
"What a huge change! Although there were many people near the Jidao Yinyang Bao River before, it was far from being as prosperous as it is now."
After the original Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan was renamed the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan, the rest of the names were also changed, such as Pure Yang Holy Leopard River → Extreme Yin Yang Leopard River; Pure Yang Holy Leopard City → Extreme Yin Yang Leopard City...
Chapter 85: Competing with Super Douluo
Chapter 85: Fighting with Level 96 Super Douluo
"Hello, young patriarch!"
"Hello, Young Supreme Lord!"
Along the way, many clansmen and affiliated personnel spotted Zhuang Xingyu and hurried over to greet him.
"Okay, okay, everyone is fine! Just focus on your own things and don't worry about me."
"How much is this pancake? How much is a pound of watermelon?"
“The price is OK, not bad.”
Zhuang Xingyu also discovered several hot pot restaurants. Those were the ones that Zhuang Xingyu had sent craftsmen and chefs to run in his spare time when he was a child. He wanted to change the taste and recall the past. He didn't expect that it has now spread to the entire Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Zhuang Xingyu hurriedly left, "Wow, everyone is so enthusiastic!"
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhuang Xingyu found his father and others.
Amid their amazement, he introduced the three hundred thousand year spirit rings and three-domain fusion skills he had obtained.
After listening to this, Zhuang Jingxing stood up from his chair and said, "Okay, okay! I was right back then. My son really has the qualities of a god! At this rate, there is a good chance that he will become a Titled Douluo before the age of 22!"
After hearing this, Zhuang Xingyu thought to himself, "That's just the beginning. With your son's talent, it won't be a problem for him to become a creator god before he turns 20."
Murong Yunxue asked happily: "Xingyu, you said that you are invincible now under your title, and your combat power can be temporarily increased to level 97 Super Douluo after performing the three-domain fusion technique. Is this true?"
