"How about I try it when I get to Soul Saint?"
Lu Ren asked tentatively.
He knew the meaning of Snow Empress's question. If he could break through to Titled Douluo, with his physical strength and Spiritual Power realm, he might be able to withstand Snow Empress's power and let her become his own Soul Spirit.
In this way, Snow Empress can use Soul Spirit Contract to avoid being sent by heaven, and he can also obtain the full combat power of a Far North first king.
"The risk is too great. As you are now, even if you reach Soul Saint, it is impossible for you to withstand all my power."
Snow Empress directly rejected the proposal, with no room for negotiation in his tone.
"Let's not talk about whether your body can withstand my power without exploding. You almost died when you absorbed Bing'er, and my strength is at least twice that of Bing'er. If you fail, I will have an accident myself."
"If my origin seal is forcibly broken during the fusion process, Heavenly Tribulation will arrive early, and both you and I will be finished together. Can you afford this responsibility to me?"
Lu Ren opened his mouth, wanting to say "I can be responsible for you", but after turning these seven words around in Brain, he still swallowed them back.
Of course, there is another idea in Lu Ren's mind, which is to take Snow Empress to the Heaven Dou Empire, go to the Earth Dragon Sect's secret realm to find Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, and let Snow Empress regain its full strength and even improve its cultivation level.
But it's just a thought.
Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow can indeed restore Snow Empress's strength, but once she regains her full strength and can even survive the next Heavenly Tribulation with the help of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, will Snow Empress still choose to become her own Soul Spirit?
To be honest, Lu Ren is a little selfish. Snow Empress is so strong, I'm afraid no one would want her to become their own Soul Spirit, right?
He would rather bet on other people's evil than believe in other people's Goodness.
After obtaining Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, Snow Empress may not necessarily be willing to become his Soul Spirit.
And after Snow Empress becomes his own Soul Spirit, and then goes to the Earth Dragon Sect's secret realm to absorb Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, then both she and Ice Empress will become stronger and will not even leave him.
Lu Ren was hesitant to speak, but finally did not tell the information.
Sorry, Snow Empress.
Now that she is not in her prime, this may be what Lu Ren wants most.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Snow Empress thought that he was thinking about himself, so he softened his tone a little, but was still unquestionably firm. "If you want me to be your Soul Spirit, you must at least wait until the Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo level to have a chance."
"Lu Ren, I admit that your current physical strength is indeed very strong, and you also have near-immortal healing ability, but my strength is not at the same level as Bing'er."
"The gap between me and Bing'er is much wider than you think. This matter must be done cautiously and without any risk."
"Hey."
At this time, Lu Ren felt guilty when facing Snow Empress and stopped talking.
"That's it for today. Thank you for your hard work, Her Majesty the Snow Empress."
Lu Ren waved his hand, and then indicated that Ice Empress could follow Snow Empress to move around freely.
With the range of activities of Ice Empress and now Soul Spirit, as long as he does not leave him more than dozens of kilometers away, he will not be restricted by the space of the contract.
It was rare for Snow Empress to take the initiative to come to him, presumably because he wanted to catch up with Ice Empress.
After watching Snow Empress and Ice Empress disappear at the edge of the wilderness, Lu Ren turned around and returned to Mingdu alone.
When he stepped into Mingdu outskirts and there was no one else around him, a dark passage suddenly opened in the space behind him, like a hideous wound being torn open in the void.
Immediately afterwards, countless strange figures swarmed out of the passage.
Grade 3 Cursed Spirit, Grade 2 Cursed Spirit, Grade 1 Cursed Spirit----
They have different shapes, some are as big as a palm and like a wriggling piece of meat, and some are several meters tall like a twisted dead tree.
A total of more than 1,500 Cursed Spirit were released by him at once.
This is the entire family fortune that he has compiled day and night at Star Luo City for a month.
"Go to all human cities throughout the Douluo Continent, lurk down, and absorb Cursed Energy. Don't actively attack humans, and don't cause unnecessary disturbances."
Lu Ren issued unified instructions to all Cursed Spirit.
Cursed Spirits made all kinds of strange neighs and growls, and then turned into dark streams of light and dispersed in all directions.
Each of these Cursed Spirits is a small Cursed Energy collector. They are scattered across the continent, and 70% of the Cursed Energy they absorb will be filtered to him through Cursed Spirit Manipulation, leaving the remaining 30% for them to absorb and become stronger.
"More than a thousand - that's not enough. Find a time to make another batch, at least tens of thousands."
Lu Ren was thinking in his mind.
How many human cities are there on the continent?
There are more than a dozen cities in the Sun Moon Empire alone, plus the three countries Star Luo Empire, Tianhun, and Dou Ling Empire, the total number is no less than several hundred.
More than a thousand Cursed Spirit are scattered across this vast continent. The density is not even a drop in the bucket. At least tens of thousands are needed to form a Cursed Energy collection network covering the entire continent. By then, even if he lies down and sleeps every day, his cultivation level will be continuously pushed up by the Cursed Energy gathered from all directions.
The picture of a large number of Cursed Spirit rising from behind him at the same time is extremely spectacular.
The pitch-black torrent of Cursed Energy rose into the sky, forming a dark vortex invisible to the naked eye above Mingdu.
Although ordinary people cannot see the vortex directly, anyone who is Soul Master, especially Soul Master who cultivates the evil attribute Soul Power, can clearly sense that the overwhelming negative energy is being released crazily from the same direction.
It is precisely for this reason that all Evil Soul Master lurking in Mingdu all raised their heads at almost the same moment, their eyes fixed on the direction of Lu Ren.
The source of darkness that is so pure that it seems to be able to swallow up all light is something they have been pursuing their entire lives but have never touched.
All Evil Soul Master's eyes were ignited with the fire of uncontrollable greed, their breathing was rapid, and their hearts were trembling.
Their heartbeats accelerated to a crazy level at the same moment, as if a beast that had been starved for a lifetime in a cage suddenly smelled the scent of fresh flesh and blood.
"What power is this?!"
A Evil Soul Master who had been lurking in Mingdu for many years was shaking violently, and Evil Soul Power, who had been dormant for a long time, was agitating crazily and uncontrollably.
The evil force in his Meridians followed the pull of Mei Mei and took the initiative to worship Resonance in the direction of the darkness.
It seems as if believers are meeting the gods they believe in.
He has practiced for decades, killed countless people, and devoured countless Soul Master's Soul Power and flesh and blood, but he has never felt such pure Evil power.
Ordinary Evil Soul Power are, after all, forcibly produced by distorting Martial Soul and plundering living beings. They are impure and riddled with hidden dangers. Every Evil Soul Master knows very well that the power they cultivate is a defective product and a poor imitation of the genuine darkness.
But this Cursed Energy that fills the sky is different. This is the original power that is rooted in the heaven and earth, swallows Max Elephant, and overrides all evils.
For all Evil Soul Master, this is a supreme opportunity that makes them crazily long for it!
"The pure origin of darkness—this is what we have been pursuing our entire lives!"
"It's so pure, far more noble than the Evil Soul Power we practiced hard! In the face of that power, the evil power in my body is like muddy water meeting a clear spring!"
"If I can absorb even a little bit of it and cleanse myself of the evil forces, my foundation will definitely be completely transformed and I will be able to break through the shackles that have not been shaken for many years!"
Countless Evil Soul Masters are fanatical, with only extreme greed in their eyes.
They have been companions with evil forces all their lives, pursuing the ultimate darkness all their lives. Today, they suddenly came into contact with the true source of darkness, and instantly lost all reason.
At this moment, all the countless thoughts in Evil Soul Master's mind were thrown out of the sky.
Compared with the God-given opportunity in front of me, everything is nothing.
Whoever can get this source can reach the sky in one step.
One after another, black-robed figures broke through the hiding spots, swarmed out from the depths of the streets, the dark floors of buildings, and the secret passages of the underground palace, and rushed towards the direction of Lu Ren like moths to a flame.
Dozens of black-robed figures dragged out their afterimages, and Crimson's eyes were all around him at this moment.
Lu Ren naturally sensed it clearly.
The moment he released Cursed Spirit, almost all the Evil Soul Master lurking everywhere in Mingdu came out, and they were all attracted.
But he didn't panic in the slightest. Instead, he smiled brightly, and the arc at the corner of his mouth was particularly bright in the night.
"It just so happens that your Holy Spirit Cult's top combat power is gone, right?"
"Zhongli Wu took those Super Douluo level offerings and all went to Shrek to rob people."
"The people who are left with Mingdu now are all middle- and low-level people. At most, they only have a few Soul Douluo, and they may not even have an Titled Douluo."
Lu Ren moved his wrist, and the joints made a slight crunching sound.
Zhongli Wu was busy looking for bargains, but he exposed his lair to a more dangerous enemy.
"Come on, come on - I'm going to take this opportunity to completely smash your foundation in Mingdu."
"You Holy Spirit Cult have been operating Mingdu for so many years, you must have accumulated a lot of wealth, right?"
While Lu Ren was waiting, in just a few breaths, dozens of high-level Evil Soul Master gathered in the air, suspended in a black mass in mid-air, and surrounded the entire wilderness.
The gloom Evil Soul Power emanating from their bodies gathered together, and even the sunlight was dyed with a dark Crimson color.
There are even three Soul Douluo level Evil Soul Masters among them. Their auras are thick and sinister, and they are definitely considered strong in the mainland.
These Holy Spirit Cult masters who usually hide in every corner of Mingdu, even Imperial Family are afraid of them, are all attracted by the pure and pure origin of Cursed Energy at this moment, with only greed and madness in their eyes.
Lu Ren stood quietly in the center, looking at the crowd of Evil Soul Master gathered from all directions. There was no trace of panic on his face, but a cold smile.
This is what he wants.
One thousand and five hundred Cursed Spirit are scattered throughout the city, seemingly to absorb the emotions of all living beings and accumulate Cursed Energy knowledge, but in fact it is also an invisible network.
He has reached the conclusion through experiments on Cursed Spirit Manipulation and using Cursed Energy to promote the cultivation of Zhang Peng.
Evil Soul Master and Cursed Energy have the same origin and are naturally attracted to each other.
As long as he releases the Cursed Energy torrent, all the stings lurking in the dark will be exposed.
Without him bothering to search and investigate one by one, these Holy Spirit Cult secrets hidden in the Mingdu shadows will jump out of their own initiative and fall into the trap themselves.
Lu Ren's eyes were indifferent, sweeping across the crowd of Evil Soul Master with greedy eyes and manic aura.
These guys who were blinded by desire didn't even know what kind of existence they were facing.
They thought they had stumbled upon a great opportunity, but little did they know that they had stumbled upon their fatal nemesis.
All evil in the world originates from Cursed Energy and is suppressed by Cursed Energy.
In front of him, this group of Evil Soul Master who worked hard to cultivate the power of false evil are just a group of inferior ants.
"Is this power yours?"
The leader, Soul Douluo level Evil Soul Master, couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling slightly due to greed.
His cultivation level is considered top among the eight rings. He has been lurking in Mingdu for many years. He thinks he is well-informed, but he has never seen such a pure source of darkness.
"So what?" Lu Ren stood with his hands behind his hands and his tone was calm.
"You are not from Holy Spirit Cult, are you? I have never seen you."
The other Evil Soul Master smiled strangely, and Crimson's eyes flashed with undisguised murderous intent.
"But it's not important. Come on, brothers! Capture him and kill him. This power belongs to us! Whoever gets it first will belong to him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ren didn't even raise his eyelids, just lightly swiped his finger.
An invisible Slashes shot out from the fingertips, accurately cutting the Evil Soul Master in half from his head to his crotch.
The man's body was neatly split along the center line, with blood and internal organs pouring down like a waterfall. The two halves of the body fell to the left and right respectively, hitting the ground with a dull sound.
Poor Evil Soul Master, who was clamoring to "kill Lu Ren", was only at the level of Soul Emperor. He didn't even have time to release Martial Soul, so he was instantly killed with a single blow.
This scene completely angered all Evil Soul Master present.
For a moment, all kinds of evil Soul Ring lights flashed in the night sky, and dozens of Soul Skill blasted out at the same time like a heavy rain.
Dark bone spurs, green poisonous mist, twisted Vengeful Spirits, and bloody shock waves poured overwhelmingly towards the location of Lu Ren.
They think that having more people can make up for the gap in strength, and that attacking at the same time can make Lu Ren focus on one thing and lose another.
However, Lu Ren's whole body is already covered with dense Invisible Slash.
Those Soul Skills were all chopped up and bounced away by Slashess three feet away from him. In the end, even the corners of his clothes were not blown up at all.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ren flashed and appeared in front of the nearest Evil Soul Master.
It was an elder of Eight-Ring Soul Douluo level. Just now's Soul Skill was still dazed after being bounced away. He never expected that Lu Ren would take the initiative to get close.
Lu Ren didn't give him any time to react. He directly raised his hand and pressed his mouth, locking his jaw with his five fingers like iron pliers. Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power was forced into the other person's body along the palm of his hand. At the same time, Positive Energy from Reverse Cursed Technique Release poured into his Meridians like a tide.
The next second, Positive Energy fully exploded inside his body.
For Evil Soul Master, this warm and pure life energy is a more deadly nemesis than any poison.
His Martial Soul began to disintegrate the moment it came into contact with Positive Energy, and the Evil Soul Power in Meridians evaporated wildly. His whole figure seemed to be lit on fire from the inside, and his body expanded violently uncontrollably. Countless dazzling cracks appeared on the surface of his skin, and then exploded into a ball of blood mist.
This scene made all Evil Soul Master present freeze.
An elder at the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo level was killed instantly?
Martial Soul Avatar didn't even have time to release him, he didn't even have time to send out a distress signal. Under everyone's gaze, Lu Ren put a hand on his mouth and burst it alive.
Several Evil Soul Masters with lower cultivation levels in the crowd finally woke up from the temptation of power and realized that the young man in front of them was not the prey they could covet at all.
They turned around and wanted to escape, but Lu Ren didn't even give him this chance. With one stroke of his finger, a Slashes shot out of the air, accurately cutting the Evil Soul Master who escaped first into two pieces from the waist.
The upper body flew several feet away and landed on the ground, still twitching. The lower body maintained a running posture and rushed forward a few steps before collapsing.
The extremely bloody scene made the remaining Evil Soul Masters feel terrified.
He could not be beaten again and again, nor could he escape. The seemingly harmless young man in front of him was simply a walking Yama.
"I have no burden to kill you anti-human things."
Lu Ren laughed a few times and moved his hand again, and another Slashes roared out, cutting into pieces the three Evil Soul Master who were desperately escaping in the distance at the same time.
"I happen to be short of Cursed Energy right now, so I'll ask you all to die. Don't you want my power? Now I'll give it to you in the way you like best."
At this moment, the remaining Evil Soul Master almost fell into complete despair.
Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, some screamed and launched a final desperate attack, and some tried to self-destruct. Martial Soul and Lu Ren died together.
But no matter what they do, they are as fragile as paper in front of Lu Ren.
Reverse Cursed Technique plus Malevolent Shrine's all-round Slashes blockade, Lu Ren is like no one in this group of Evil Soul Master. Every time he takes action, at least one life is taken away.
"Purification, this is Purification Power!"
At this time, Evil Soul Master, who was strangled by Lu Ren's neck with one hand, suddenly shouted excitedly.
His body was lifted up in the air by Lu Ren, and his legs kicked hard but could not break away from the iron-like palm. He felt the warm energy pouring into his body from Lu Ren's palm.
For him, warmth was the most terrifying torture in the world. The Evil Soul Power in his body began to evaporate crazily the moment it came into contact with that energy, and Martial Soul let out a silent cry.
"So you relied on this Purification Power to kill us instantly. I understand, now I understand everything!"
He screamed miserably, his voice distorted by a mixture of fear and ecstasy. "You, who are you? This is a power that only Holy Emperor has!"
"You are also Evil Soul Master, you are also one of us, but why do you side with them? Why do you want to massacre your own compatriots----"
As soon as he said this, he could no longer continue.
Because Lu Ren was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and directly urged Reverse Cursed Technique to explode his body from the inside.
"Hey, at least you put up some decent resistance and let me see what you have Soul Skill?"
Lu Ren shook off the blood stains remaining on his hands and sighed with some regret.
Although he really wanted to use Cursed Spirit Manipulation to conquer all Evil Soul Master and Martial Soul as Pokémon.
Just like taking Death Messenger, rub it into Cursed Spirit Orb and swallow it in your stomach to extract Soul Skill.
But the taste of swallowing Cursed Spirit Orb was so disgusting that he would never want to experience it again unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, at this moment, a strange scene happened.
Those Evil Soul Masters who were killed by him to the last breath suddenly no longer resisted, no longer ran away, and no longer even feared.
They all raised their heads and stared at Lu Ren with an almost pious gaze.
There is no longer greed and murderous intent in those Crimson eyes, instead there is a kind of fanatical reverence, which is the expression that believers will show when they see the god they believe in.
"Are you, are you the legendary Holy Son?"
A Evil Soul Master, whose legs were cut off and lying in a pool of blood, spoke tremblingly.
His voice was extremely weak due to excessive blood loss, but the fanaticism in his tone was stronger than ever.
"By the way, only Holy Son and Just now can master this power!"
"Purification Power, this is exactly the power Holy Emperor bestowed on Holy Son!"
He stretched out his blood-stained hand and stretched out his fingers in the direction of Lu Ren, as if worshiping a Deity that had descended into the world.
"Holy Son, you should go find Holy Emperor. Holy Emperor will lead us to rule this world. Only we who own Holy Power are qualified to enjoy everything in this world!"
