The Birth of a Bloodline Soul Ring

Level 69, at its peak.

Mu Baobao's current Soul Power Level came from two seventy- to eighty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tigers and an Emerald Demon Bird.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Evil Eye Tyrant King had forcibly raised him from level 65 to 69. After half a month of stabilization, there were no real problems.

It had to be said, having more Martial Souls was simply great. One Soul Ring raised one level—it was like flying upward.

Martial Souls could even be bestowed by gods. One Martial Soul could inherit one godhood, so Mu Baobao had an immature idea: every god could grant him a Martial Soul.

Tang Buddha Ancestor, realizing he was no match for those who came after him, had directly demanded one Martial Soul from every god...

Wouldn't that send ten thousand gods straight to heaven?

Honestly, he might actually do something like that!

Sea God Island had thoroughly declined. Thousands of years ago, when the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent, the crustal changes had shattered it even further.

No one knew how many small islands had sunk. The large island had split into seven sections, which became known as the Seven Ocean Islands.

After flying for a full day, Mu Baobao...

Finally descended onto Sea Ghost Island at sunset. Nearby was the habitat of the Ferocious Sea Devil Fish. Mu Baobao always felt that the ocean resembled the Western Paradise.

They claimed to love peace, yet eighty percent of the creatures in the sea were evil soul beasts. Even the Sea God Seven Holy Pillar Douluo had several evil Martial Souls among them.

Tang Buddha Ancestor... the name truly suited him. He went on about how terrible everyone else was, when he himself was the worst of all.

"Hey, Soul Master! Stop and submit to questioning!"

At the gates of Sea Ghost Island, many soldiers were searching those who entered... Since they no longer had the Sea God's protection or divine trials to attract Soul Masters,

they had been forced to open up trade, establishing contact with the Douluo Continent. Due to the crustal shifts from thousands of years ago, they were actually closer to the mainland now, making travel far less difficult.

Getting onto the island had become much easier. Without the Sea God trials, new Seven Holy Pillar Douluo could no longer be born.

The core seven islands still retained their old name.

But the island-guarding divine beasts of the past had instead become man-eating demons, no longer under anyone's control.

A group of Soul Masters elevated by divine trials—the Shrek Seven Devils had not received divine trials and could not rapidly become Title Douluo. The Sea God Seven Holy Pillars' trials...

had all been black-level for them. Now, the strongest people on the Seven Ocean Islands were only around time-level.

"Shrek City, Mu Fengchun?"

Mu Baobao presented his false identity, and the soldiers' eyes immediately gained a trace of reverence.

The Sea God from ten thousand years ago had been a student of Shrek Academy. Sea God Pavilion, now one of the three great powers of the Douluo Continent, had also been named after him.

Sea God Pavilion took great care of them as well. After all, they had declined because someone had become the Sea God. People from Shrek City and Shrek Academy could avoid many troubles when they came to the Seven Ocean Islands.

"May your journey be pleasant!"

They smiled, treating him far better than others. Whether merchants conducting trade or Soul Masters seeking Soul Rings, all were welcome here.

Without the Seven Holy Pillars, the island-guarding divine beasts had all become fierce beasts. This made them feel that...

becoming gods had brought them no benefits at all.

The people receiving the preferential treatment had no connection to them whatsoever, yet they lacked the standing to resent them and even had to maintain reverence on the surface. That was rather stifling.

Sea Ghost City was very quiet. The salty scent of the sea was deeply uncomfortable, making him feel a little seasick.

Just as humans could not survive in the ocean, fish could not live on land. Yet the Sea God's followers lived on islands—could that really be called devout?

Still, the small fishing village had long adapted to it. Mu Baobao showed no abnormality at all.

A Soul Saint wearing Three-Word Battle Armor could possess the combat power of a Title Douluo. However, without the Soul Spirit System, one likely needed to be a Soul Douluo to wear Three-Word Battle Armor.

But Mu Baobao's circumstances were special. With three Martial Souls and six ultimate attributes, he could even wear it ahead of time.

Still, the ocean did not suit him. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was normally equivalent to a Title Douluo. Otherwise, fighting while in such a weakened state would be no different from courting death.

Sea Ghost Mountain lay behind Sea Ghost City on Sea Ghost Island.

Mu Baobao sat cross-legged. At this moment, the entire mountaintop was blanketed in white snow, for its elevation was considerable.

It had originally only snowed there, making it popular among many adventurers. But now, the entire mountain range seemed frozen in time. Instead of melting when they landed, every snowflake instantly condensed into several yards of ice.

Among the numerous humanoid ice sculptures, thick snow suddenly burst apart from one. Yet countless snowflakes throughout heaven and earth converged into a massive vortex, rushing toward that ice sculpture.

A dragon's roar shook all directions. This was why Mu Baobao had chosen the island—he felt that his breakthrough to level 70 would definitely be extraordinary. The facts proved that it truly was!

Glaciate covered the thousand-meter range of the entire Devil Mountain with Ultimate Ice. The power of ice and snow gathered together, forming an orange-red Soul Ring with a golden stripe that appeared around Kyurem's enormous figure.

Even he was stunned. Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts produced red Soul Rings, while two-hundred-thousand-year ones produced orange rings.

For every additional ten thousand years, another golden stripe would appear. His Kyurem was actually so heaven-defying. What surprised him even more was... a Bloodline Soul Ring.

This kind of Soul Ring could awaken only when one's own bloodline was exceptionally outstanding. For example, Tang Wulin and Tang Buddha Ancestor's fifth Blue Silver Emperor Soul Rings were Bloodline Soul Rings. Lan Xuanyu was even more outrageous... every one of his Soul Rings was a Bloodline Soul Ring, and they could increase with his cultivation.

White, yellow, purple, black, red, orange-red, gold... nine colors—the Soul Ring exclusive to the Dragon God.

After soul beasts took human form, they likewise did not need to hunt soul beasts for their first six Soul Rings. They could obtain them through their own bloodlines. Only from the seventh onward, after completely becoming human, did they need to hunt soul beasts.

The seventh Soul Ring was an extremely important Soul Ring for Soul Masters, because it allowed them to possess a Martial Soul Avatar.

Mu Baobao had not expected his seventh Soul Ring to be a Bloodline Soul Ring. His breakthrough had absorbed such vast ice and snow energy. After all, Ice Dragon Kyurem was a first-class god of Unova in the Pokemon World.

It was not strange for it to possess a Bloodline Soul Ring. Aside from the Martial Soul Avatar, it even contained its divine skill.

Glaciate... This could completely count as a domain skill. At full power, it was no weaker than the shared ninth Soul Ring, Absolute Zero, of Huo Yuhao's several ice-type Soul Spirits. With a Martial Soul Avatar and a domain, the future potential of this soul skill was destined to be terrifying.

Logically speaking, even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring that could grant two soul skills would only provide a Martial Soul Avatar as its seventh Soul Ring, regardless of the soul beast it came from.

But Kyurem's came with both a Martial Soul Avatar and an exclusive skill. It was destined to be different!

Still, it was somewhat regrettable. Had he known earlier, he should have gone to the Far North Ice Plains. Once the several Heavenly Kings sensed this divine beast pressure, wouldn't they have rushed over to sacrifice themselves?

Overall, this was a good thing. A level-70 Bloodline Soul Ring, along with Three-Word Battle Armor...

meant he no longer had to fear Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts at all. He could fully contend with a Title Douluo. At that thought, he suddenly raised his head, and Kyurem released Endless Dragon Might.

It instantly covered the entire mountain range. At the moment of his breakthrough, his spiritual power had surged tremendously, granting him another god's-eye view. Naturally, he noticed the Soul Master who had been following him, frozen into an ice pillar several yards thick.

"Holy Spirit Cult, you really are skilled at living in the sewers. Come out, you rat!"

As Mu Baobao's words fell, the surrounding scene of ice and snow changed drastically, transforming into an enormous majestic hand... Anyone could feel the suffocating pressure it carried, yet he watched without the slightest fear and made no movement at all.

The instant the giant hand touched him, it exploded into snowflakes that filled the sky. At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared, silently approaching like a demon.

Mu Baobao was still somewhat alarmed, because this man possessed a rare spiritual-type Martial Soul. Three of his three Martial Souls' six ultimate attributes were related to spiritual power, yet he still felt a trace of unease before this man.

After all, his opponent was already a Title Douluo, while he had only just become a Soul Saint. The man could casually create illusions like nightmares. To be honest, Mu Baobao hated this type the most.

He still preferred launching a spiritual attack and smashing someone with a punch. Since he was about to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, he could not afford to have a Title Douluo waiting behind him. Better to settle this now.

The middle-aged man gave a sinister laugh. His entire body appeared elusive and uncertain, like a wandering soul.

"Eighth Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Nightmare Douluo!"

"Young friend, are you truly not willing to consider it? With Ultimate Evil, you could absolutely become the Holy Son of our Holy Spirit Cult. Elder, Chief Elder..."

"Furthermore, our Chief Elder, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, is friends with your Ancestor Xuan, Dragon God Douluo Mu En. Back then, they were known as the Black and White Sacred Dragons. They would certainly be willing to nurture you with all their hearts," Nightmare Douluo said.

After all, who would not wish to see the descendant of an old friend who prided himself on righteousness fall into evil darkness?

Mu Baobao smiled. "Are you also going to tell me that your Supreme Elder, Ye Xishui, was once lovers with my Ancestor Xuan, Dragon God Douluo Mu En? Aren't they also the current three Peerless Douluo?"

Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao... were also the grandparents of Yan Shaozhe, Mu En's eldest disciple. Their grandson had joined another faction, and now he himself was being pulled over as a replacement. It was truly absurd.

Ye Xishui's character setting somewhat resembled that of Rakshasa God Bibi Dong. Both possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Both had also been violated by their teachers. Bibi Dong had been forced by Qian Xunji to bear Qian Renxue, the Angel God. Ye Xishui, meanwhile, had been forced by Zhongli Wu to bear the Holy Spirit Cult's leader, Zhongli Wu, who inherited her evil Martial Soul,

the Death God Puppet. Yan Shaozhe had inherited the Bright Phoenix. Ye Xishui's choice of Mu En back then...

had purely been a trap. It was Old Ghost Zhongli's intention for her to infiltrate Shrek Academy from within... Bibi Dong, on the other hand, had betrayed her own side by bringing Yu Xiaogang to secretly learn Spirit Hall knowledge.

Love triangles... seemed to be a signature feature of Douluo. Jade Piglet, Liu Erlong, Flender... Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Ah Yin... Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu... There were simply too many of them!

The one Ye Xishui truly loved was still Long Xiaoyao. Losing her virginity to him had also been deliberate—she simply did not want to continue following Mu En. Yet it was precisely because of this that Old Ghost Zhongli forced her to bear Zhongli Wu.

Mu Baobao was not surprised that his identity had been exposed. The Holy Spirit Cult had quite extensive intelligence networks.

They absolutely had the ability to watch the Soul Master tournament in Star Luo City, then follow him after seeing him use Kyurem's Martial Soul. That was why he felt it necessary to deal with this Nightmare Douluo here.

"Hm?" Nightmare Douluo was somewhat dazed. "How did you know who the Supreme Elder was?"

After all, quite a few people knew about the relationship among the three Peerless Douluo. Naturally, that was no secret.

Ye Xishui had revealed the Bright Phoenix as her Martial Soul, so many people thought it only natural that she chose Mu En, who possessed the Radiant Sacred Dragon. But her second Martial Soul...

the Death God Puppet, and her identity as the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder... that was a secret. No one knew.

Who exactly was the leader of this organization?
