"And just for Faith Power, this is really----"
Speaking of this, Ice Empress did not continue, but everyone understood the sarcasm in his tone.
A Righteous Path pinnacle who is revered as Sea God by Soul Master all over the continent. In order to maintain his God Position, he does not hesitate to let his deeds be distorted and tampered with, turning him into a religious tool of the Evil Soul Master organization.
And Evil Soul Master's devout worship of Tang San, those fervent beliefs that came from the depths of the soul, eventually turned into nutrients that nourished Tang San God Position.
"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with us. Who is Holy Emperor? What does Tang San want to do? There is no direct conflict of interest with us."
"Practice hard and wait until Jing Hongchen comes back to get down to business."
Lu Ren cleared the thoughts in his mind, sat cross-legged and sat back on the bed, and began to prepare for meditation.
He deliberately stopped thinking about those complicated conspiracies and calculations, because now he is not qualified to participate in the Divine Realm level game.
When did that happen?
At least you have to wait until he breaks through Titled Douluo before you think about it.
"Then when you break through to Soul Saint, what will you do with Soul Ring?"
Ice Empress floated in front of him, folding his arms across his chest, with a hint of practical worry in his tone.
"I can't provide you with Soul Ring anymore. My Fifth Soul Ring and Sixth Soul Ring have already occupied two of your places, but I can't provide you with Seventh Soul Ring."
"With your current physical strength and level of Spiritual Power, you are indeed qualified to absorb Soul Ring of a higher age. The question is where can you find a suitable one?"
Lu Ren was also a little depressed after hearing this.
He has been considering this issue for a long time.
Based on his current conditions, Seventh Soul Ring must be at least worthy of the 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.
But the suitable Soul Beast is hard to come by, not to mention the time is tight, Mu En may come over at any time.
"Let's see when Elder Yi wakes up. If Elder Yi is here, there must be no problem for Snow Empress to become my Soul Spirit now."
"Elder Yi understands Soul Spirit Contract far better than any of us. With him protecting me, I will most likely be able to withstand the power of Snow Empress. If that doesn't work, I can ask Elder Yi to help seal the original power of Snow Empress, making it easier for me to absorb it."
"But if he never wakes up, he can only go and see if he can hunt down a 100,000-year-old Spiritual System Soul Beast."
"Spiritual System and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are rare, but there should be a few of them on the mainland."
"Besides, when it comes to sealing the power of the origin, I can't do it if you ask me to do it. I can't do it at all." Lu Ren spread his hands, unable to do anything.
"That's all it can do."
Ice Empress sighed, and then stopped disturbing Lu Ren.
She hovered next to Lu Ren for a moment, then silently floated to the other side of the room, sat in mid-air with her hands and knees clasped, and began to protect Lu Ren.
Lu Ren closed his eyes and sank into a state of cultivation.
After today's practice time is over, he will pinch his Cursed Spirit.
At the same time, today is the day when Zhongli Wu leads the team back to Mingdu.
Today was originally the happiest day for Zhongli Wu.
He personally led Holy Spirit Cult's almost all Titled Douluo level combat power to attack Shrek Academy in a mighty manner.
While holding on to Mu En who was going all out, he successfully snatched away Ma Xiaotao who was still in a deep coma at the cost of the lives of six Titled Douluos.
--
Evil Fire Phoenix, who was once one of the most outstanding disciples of Shrek Inner Court, is now Holy Spirit Cult's treasure.
Just thinking about the twenty-year-old Soul Saint, Mutated Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, and Ultimate Fire attributes, with dark characteristics, is such a seedling. Zhongli Wu feels extremely happy just thinking about it.
With Ma Xiaotao's current talent, as long as he cultivates it carefully, it won't take many years to break through Titled Douluo, and in a few years there may even be a chance to hit Super Douluo.
This is Evil Soul Master of Ultimate Fire. Once he grows up, even if he only reaches level 95, Super Douluo level will already be a top existence that can dominate the entire Douluo Continent.
When the time comes, Holy Spirit Cult will be able to punch Shrek and kick Body Sect, and become the number one sect in the world - that is no longer a dream!
Not to mention that Holy Spirit Cult can also rectify the names of all Douluo Continent and Evil Soul Master, so that Evil Soul Master will no longer become the rats that everyone shouts and beats!
This is the status he has always dreamed of!
It is conceivable that Zhongli Wu was in such a happy mood that he almost started humming a ditty on the way back.
However, when he happily returned to Mingdu with his large army, what greeted him was a scene that made him fall from heaven to hell.
In the few days when he led the team to kill Shrek Academy, all Holy Spirit Cult's strongholds in Mingdu, dozens of large and small, were all looted.
Among them, almost all the believers guarding each stronghold, ranging from Soul Ancestor to Soul Douluo level, were killed.
Some were neatly cut in half, some were shot in the head, and some were directly exploded from the inside by some terrifying force.
The circumstances of death varied, but none survived.
Together with all the Gold Soul Coin they had worked so hard to collect over the years, a large amount of cultivation resources, hoarded Rare Metal and medicinal materials were all evacuated.
Zhongli Wu stood in front of the ruins that were once the largest stronghold of Mingdu, looking at the huge sinkhole in front of him that had been blasted from bottom to top.
Moonlight poured down from the gap in the roof of the pit, illuminating the broken walls and mottled bloodstains at the bottom of the pit.
This made Zhongli Wu so angry that he was shaking violently.
His fists were clenched until the knuckles turned white, veins popped out at his temples, and his usually gloomy and calm face was now distorted into an almost ferocious shape.
"Who? Who did it?!!"
The roar of Zhongli Wu exploded over the ruins like thunder, causing the remaining walls around them to tremble.
Behind them, the Titled Douluo worshipers who had just returned triumphantly from the Shrek battlefield were stunned by the devastated sight before them before they had time to taste the joy of victory.
Who knows how Zhongli Wu feels now?
I went on a long trip, grabbed a treasure, and came back, happily thinking that Holy Spirit Cult was about to take off, but when I came home, I found that my home had been stolen, my savings had been emptied, and all the people who stayed at home to look after me were killed.
I fell from heaven to hell in less than a day.
Zhongli Wu angrily ordered his subordinates to investigate the matter thoroughly, vowing to strip the person behind the scenes to pieces and cut them into pieces.
The remaining Titled Douluo who had just returned from the Shrek battlefield did not dare to slack off in the slightest. They suppressed the shock in their hearts and dispersed in an instant.
Soul Power spread out and swept through the ruins of Mingdu and all Holy Spirit Cult strongholds like a carpet, not letting go of any residual breath or trace of fighting.
The Evil Soul Masters who originally followed the team and were looking forward to the rise of the sect with great joy, now all of them looked pale and silent.
No one expected that the hope of rise gained from a tragic victory would be completely crushed in an instant.
And Zhongli Wu also set his sights on the position of the Imperial Palace.
He wanted to explain the matter to Xu Tianran, Crown Prince, personally. Such a big thing happened on Mingdu's territory, and Imperial Family could not stay out of it.
Seven days later.
While Zhongli Wu was suppressing his anger and searching for the mastermind in Mingdu city, the instigator Lu Ren was still in the room concentrating on creating Cursed Spirit.
In the past seven days, he had hardly stepped out of his room. Apart from occasionally giving advice on Meng Hongchen's cultivation problems, he devoted the rest of his time to practicing with Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
There was a knock on the door suddenly. Lu Ren was startled for a moment, put away the unformed ball of Cursed Energy in his palm, and stood up to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Meng Hongchen, whose long silver ponytail glowed softly in the morning light. There was a hint of apology in her beautiful eyes, as if she felt that she had disturbed Lu Ren's practice.
"Is something wrong?"
Faced with Lu Ren's doubts, Meng Hongchen said that it was Ji Juechen who came to the door, or that he made a special trip to see Lu Ren.
Lu Ren was a little surprised after hearing this.
This guy, I haven't seen him for a long time.
Speaking of which, it has been a while since Star Luo City left.
Now that he suddenly came to the door, this guy must have itchy hands again.
So, Lu Ren came out of the room, walked through the corridor of the Hongchen Family's mansion, and came to the main entrance.
Ji Juechen was standing outside the door, still looking taciturn, with his hands hanging naturally by his sides.
But the aura on his body was completely different from that of Star Luo City.
Lu Ren subconsciously scanned his cultivation level with Spiritual Power, and then he was stunned for a moment.
Today's Ji Juechen has actually broken through to level seventy-two Soul Saint, and Soul Power's foundation is extremely solid, without any sense of emptiness after Elixir has matured.
Level seventy-two. You must know that when Star Luo City was at level sixty-six, his speed of leveling up to six levels was not much slower than that of Lu Ren himself.
"Have you eaten Elixir?" Lu Ren couldn't help but blurted out.
Ji Juechen obviously didn't quite understand the shock and confusion contained in his words. He just shook his head honestly. "I don't take medicine."
"Okay, but how did you improve so quickly?"
Lu Ren was even more surprised.
He was able to level up so quickly because of the superposition effect of two pieces of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Ji Juechen is not as powerful as Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
"Because I fight with others every day."
Ji Juechen's tone was calm, and Lu Ren noticed that there were injuries everywhere on his body.
Although the wounds have been treated, bandages are still wrapped in some places, and bruises that have not completely subsided can be seen under the clothes.
There was still a faint trace of blood on the bandage on his left arm, and the fabric on his chest was scratched by some kind of sharp blade and then patched hastily.
Obviously during this period of time, he non-stop met many strong men to compete with each other, and was completely wandering between life and death.
This made Lu Ren have to sigh, this guy is completely using his life to change his cultivation level.
But this method is indeed feasible, because Lu Ren has also experienced that when fighting against strong players, his understanding of the battle and his cultivation progress are almost unimpeded, and he is advancing rapidly.
Wandering between life and death can indeed quickly improve one's own cultivation.
But this is what Lu Ren is puzzled about.
Because his combat power is so awesome, and his numerical values and mechanics are not bad at all. Although he is only level 69 now, someone of Soul Douluo level is no match for him, and he can defeat him in just a few rounds.
If you want to be Lu Ren's opponent, you must at least be Titled Douluo, but Titled Douluo is not just a cabbage that you can meet casually, so Lu Ren has not been able to fight heartily for a long time.
It seems that having too much fighting power is not a good thing.
Lu Ren glanced at Ji Juechen and asked, "Who treated your wounds?"
Lu Ren's observation skills are so keen. Although the bandaging techniques are practical, they are also delicate. It is obviously not something Ji Juechen can wrap up with his own clumsy hands.
"It's Jing Ziyan."
Ji Juechen When he mentioned this name, a rare embarrassment appeared on his paralyzed face that had not changed for thousands of years.
His eyes drifted to the side involuntarily, as if he didn't want Lu Ren to see his expression at this moment.
"It's not easy for her. She has to take care of you."
Lu Ren had a full view of Ji Juechen's reaction, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Jing Ziyan That Soul Tool madman used to spend all day in Laboratory with metal parts, but now it's better, he has become Ji Juechen's full-time logistics.
One is responsible for fighting, and the other is responsible for cleaning up the aftermath. This pairing seems to work well together.
"Don't mention this."
Ji Juechen quickly cut off the topic, and then stared directly at Lu Ren with his eyes that rekindled his burning fighting spirit.
"I want to challenge you."
Lu Ren's expression was one of expected helplessness. "Is it happening again? I still can't escape this day."
"Every time you come to see me, there seems to be nothing else besides fighting."
Ji Juechen explained seriously, "A few days ago, I entered Soul Beast Forest by myself, hunted a Soul Beast, got Seventh Soul Ring, and a piece of Soul Bone."
"That's why my cultivation has improved so quickly."
"Now that I have consolidated my realm, I will come to you as soon as possible."
When he said this, the hand holding the sword tightened slightly, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion, as if he was suppressing the fighting spirit deep in his heart that had been suppressed for too long.
Lu Ren thought for a moment.
I originally wanted to refuse directly.
Now his mind is full of pinching Cursed Spirit, saving Cursed Energy, and preparing to deal with Mu En. How can he have free time to discuss with Ji Juechen.
But then I thought about it, Ji Juechen also has a field now.
It just so happened that he had recently made a batch of Anti-Domain Specialized Cursed Spirit, and was worried that he had no suitable test subjects.
Then use the field of Ji Juechen to test the actual effect of Anti-Domain Specialized Cursed Spirit.
"Very good, I just want to try my new trick on you."
Lu Ren reached out and grabbed Ji Juechen's arm and pulled him into the Hongchen Family's mansion.
The two walked through several long corridors and arrived at the internal competition venue within the family. This is where the Hongchen Family disciples usually practice and compete. The ground is paved with a whole piece of bluestone and surrounded by special Defensive Soul Tool reinforcement Barrier, which is enough to withstand most of the battle impacts under Titled Douluo.
Defensive Soul Tool around the venue automatically activates after sensing someone entering the venue, and a light blue mask covers the entire competition area.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, brothers and sisters, came over after hearing the news. They stood on the edge of the venue, one on the left and one on the right, with their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
Xiao Hongchen leaned against the edge of the defense Barrier with his hands folded, while Meng Hongchen held his hands on the railing, staring at the two people in the field with his beautiful eyes.
Both of them knew the name Ji Juechen.
This extremely dedicated swordsman Swordsmanship has unparalleled talent and extraordinary combat power, and cross-level battles are commonplace. Now he has broken through level 72 Soul Saint, and his strength has skyrocketed.
And Lu Ren's depth is something no one can see through. Along the way, he has repeatedly crossed levels to crush powerful enemies, with endless trump cards and weird and unpredictable methods.
The peak showdown between two geniuses, this match is definitely worth watching.
Lu Ren stood casually on one side of the field with a relaxed expression, as if he didn't take this duel to heart at all.
And Ji Juechen stood opposite him, with only the pure Swordsmanship sharpness in his eyes, invisible Sword Intent flowing slowly around his body, and the air was cut to tremble slightly.
Compared with the fierce and domineering style in the past, his Sword Intent is now more condensed, restrained within the body but hiding a huge amount of power. He already has the demeanor of a top swordsman between movement and stillness.
It feels like a peerless sword has finally found the scabbard that suits you best. It is gentle and restrained when not out of the sheath, but once out of the sheath, it is earth-shattering.
"You have changed since you arrived at the Seventh Ring Road." Lu Ren looked at Ji Juechen up and down, with some sincere appreciation in his tone.
However, Ji Juechen didn't even say hello, and suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath.
Silver-White Long Sword drew a cold arc in the air, and he rushed forward like an arrow from a string. There was nothing fancy about it, but a simple straight slash from the long sword.
Lu Ren raised his hand to block, his arm covered with a thin layer of Blood Armor.
That is Blood Manipulation's most basic defense application. According to his experience, this level of defense is enough to block ordinary attacks at the Soul Saint level.
However, when Ji Juechen's sword edge crossed the surface of Blood Armor, the layer of blood armor that had been compressed countless times was cut open. The blade directly cut through his skin, and bright red blood seeped out from the wound.
This made Lu Ren frown unconsciously.
You must know that his current physical strength has been blessed by Soul Core and several Soul Bone, which is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Titled Douluo.
As a result, Ji Juechen broke his defense with just one strike of his sword. Although it was just a skin injury, the damage was far beyond the normal level of Soul Saint.
"Don't underestimate me, use all your skills."
Ji Juechen's voice was still calm, but those eyes burning with fighting intent had completely locked onto Lu Ren's figure.
As soon as he stepped forward, his figure instantly flew to the center of the field. Soul Power exploded all over his body, and countless sword lights shot into the sky.
The entire competition venue was instantly enveloped by the boundless Sword Intent. Thin invisible sword threads filled the sky and the earth. The sky was filled with light and shadow, and thousands of swords were floating in the air. Each sword light was accurately pointed in all directions around Lu Ren, blocking all his possible dodge routes.
"I finally understand why even the people from the eighth ring were no match for you before."
Lu Ren's face finally became solemn, and before he finished speaking, countless Invisible Slashs exploded from his body, shooting out in all directions like a heavy rain.
The sword lights of Malevolent Shrine's Slashes and Ji Juechen collided fiercely in the air, and the crisp sound of gold and iron could be heard endlessly. Each sword light was accurately intercepted in mid-air, and none of them could get close.
Seeing how easily Lu Ren could crack his own moves, Ji Juechen immediately assumed a posture that Lu Ren was all too familiar with, holding the sword in both hands in front of his chest. Soul Power all over his body began to surge wildly at a specific frequency. A large amount of Soul Power emerged from his body, condensing into a pale silver light film on the sword's edge.
Lu Ren is very familiar with this sign.
Isn't this the Self-Created Domain that he taught Ji Juechen before?
It's just that compared to the prototype that only had a three-foot range in Mingdu, the power of the field now has been condensed many times.
So he stopped talking and formed a seal with his hands in front of his chest. A large amount of Soul Power and Cursed Energy emerged in his body at the same time. The two energies merged and surged in front of him, forming a twisted light film.
The two shouted almost in unison, "Domain Expansion, Hall of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Dust!"
"Domain Expansion, Malevolent Shrine!"
