Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

He should have been prepared to do whatever it takes to pursue power.

"Nothing." Lin Xiao shook his head and did not absorb the soul ring immediately. Instead, he stepped forward to collect the body of the great elder and the broken Heart of the Ocean.

He raised his head slightly, and saw an array of floating cannons and energy carriers floating towards him through the sea.

After carefully putting these into the storage soul guide, Lin Xiao sat down safely next to the soul ring and extended his soul power to make contact with the soul ring.

As the soul ring sank into Lin Xiao's body, the next moment, tremendous soul power surged into his body.

Countless meridians were almost instantly filled with the soul power in the soul ring, so much so that Lin Xiao felt a little strenuous when circulating the soul power.

However, this was just the beginning. The soul power in the 400,000-year soul ring seemed endless. Even though there was almost no room in Lin Xiao's body to accommodate the soul power, the power in the soul ring was still surging out continuously.

Some soul power has escaped from the meridians and spread throughout Lin Xiao's body, causing his body to swell.

Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and bloodstains appeared in his eyes. He lowered his head slightly and took a look. He suddenly stood up, found a direction at random, and his body bounced out to swim towards a deeper place.

The soul power in his body was almost about to break his body apart. This feeling was even stronger than when he used Return to Silence just now.

He felt as if his entire body had turned into a swollen balloon, which would burst with the slightest external stimulation. Only the sea pressure coming from all directions could give him some relief.

The turbulent soul power in his body made Lin Xiao exude a terrifying aura. He didn't know how far he had swum, but he felt the pressure from the sea water getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, he covered his chest with one hand, stopped swimming, and let his body continue to fall into the deeper water, with all his thoughts focused inside his body.

His mind moved slightly, and several figures vaguely appeared around him. Lin Xiao's mental power spread out, looking through the memories in the souls of several Titled Douluo.

Since the soul power in his body is so powerful, he will find a place for it.

In addition to needing the ninth soul ring to advance to the Titled Douluo realm, the biggest difference between him and other soul masters is the existence of the soul core in his body. Therefore, even the weakest Titled Douluo has almost endless soul power.

However, one does not necessarily have to be a Titled Douluo to be able to condense a soul core. As long as one has enough mental strength and control over soul power, one can try to condense a soul core in advance.

And in Lin Xiao's memory, someone has already successfully practiced this.

Although he was not very confident before, but after enduring the mental impact of the mermaid clan not long ago and reshaping his spiritual sea, Lin Xiao also had the possibility to try it in advance.

What's more, the souls of the Titled Douluo that he controlled all had experience in condensing soul cores. From their memories, Lin Xiao had almost experienced the condensation of soul cores several times.

Thoughts surged up in his mind, but Lin Xiao's hands did not slow down at all. The power in the 400,000-year soul ring was still pouring into his body, and the soul power in his meridians was also being continuously compressed by him.

He had tried to compress his soul power to make it stronger before, so this process was not unfamiliar to him. In just a moment, he was fully into the state.

The blood-red light completely enveloped him, and occasionally a scar would appear on his skin, but it would soon disappear under the light of the pale green light under his skin.

Lin Xiao's consciousness had completely entered into meditation, so naturally he could not see that the surrounding sea water had formed a huge vortex under his influence.

Even the sea surface was rough, and the surrounding sea soul beasts sensed the danger and fled in all directions.

The soul power in his body also continued to gather together like small whirlpools, transforming into a thicker and more stable state.

Lin Xiao sat cross-legged in the depths of the ocean, with blood-red flowers of the other shore slowly blooming around him. The long and narrow petals swayed gently with the surge of the sea water, as if they were dancing.

Tiny black cracks kept appearing, and no one knew where they led to. The surrounding sea water poured into them and then disappeared completely.

An unknown amount of time passed before a blood-red ball of light finally slowly condensed and took shape in front of Lin Xiao.

Chapter 191 Unyielding

The power surging from the soul ring seemed to become weaker, as if it could finally see the end.

Lin Xiao no longer felt the pain he felt at the beginning. The soul power in the soul ring only passed through his meridians and dantian, and would soon turn into the power to condense his soul core.

For ordinary soul masters, condensing a soul core requires the soul master to almost exhaust all the soul power in his body. Therefore, the closer the soul core is to formation, the more dangerous it becomes for the soul master.

But for Lin Xiao at this time, the Great Elder's 400,000-year soul ring was like an inexhaustible source of soul power. The soul power inside would circulate in Lin Xiao's body and then converge into the soul core.

Even though the ball of light in front of him already had the rudiments of a soul core, Lin Xiao's soul power was still abundant.

Although absorbing soul rings and condensing soul cores at the same time requires extremely strong mental strength to control the two soul powers at the same time, this is what Lin Xiao lacks the least. Instead, it makes the process of condensing his soul core extremely smooth.

A long time passed again, and the soul power in Lin Xiao's body suddenly stagnated. The constantly surging soul power blocked his meridians, causing his face to turn red instantly, but soon, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

The blood-red ball of light in front of him has become stable. There seems to be a red spider lily blooming in it, emitting a faint breath of death. If you get closer, you can forget the fear of death and only yearn for a place of rest.

Several tiny black cracks appeared and quickly disappeared around him, constantly swallowing up the surrounding sea water, mixed with a complex and mysterious power.

This is the soul core.

Lin Xiao raised his hands slightly, and the blood-red light ball in his palms continued to attract everything around it, even the space became distorted.

It not only contains highly compressed soul power, but also his ultimate death attribute and some spatial power.

Just by looking at it, I have a vague feeling of being connected to it, and the aura it exudes seems to be eager to merge with myself.

He withdrew his hands, and the already formed soul core came into contact with Lin Xiao's body, and then quietly merged into his dantian.

Faintly, Lin Xiao seemed to feel a joy like a young swallow returning to its nest.

The next moment, the soul power in Lin Xiao's body stagnated again for a moment, and then suddenly surged up.

Lin Xiao hardly needs to control the soul power in the meridians himself. When the soul core rotates, the soul power in the meridians is slowly transforming into a more stable state.

There is no need for deliberate meditation, the surrounding natural energy of heaven and earth will naturally turn into his cultivation.

As the condensed soul core merged into Lin Xiao's body, the soul power transformed into another state, and the soul power in the 400,000-year soul ring no longer gave Lin Xiao the feeling of swelling as before.

The sea water gradually calmed down, and Lin Xiao's breathing also slowly calmed down.

In the sea of ​​​​spirituality, Lin Xiao's consciousness condensed into his appearance and slowly emerged. Then, he looked at an uninvited guest who appeared here.

The Great Elder stood, or rather floated, in the sea of ​​flowers, staring motionlessly at the gray fog that permeated the opposite bank.

It was not until Lin Xiao appeared that she looked over as if she had just come to her senses.

"You don't seem surprised?"

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded. "You have seen the souls I manipulated. You should know that I have a certain understanding of souls."

"One of the dangers in a soul master's absorption of a soul ring is the need to fight against the remaining soul beast consciousness in the soul ring, or in other words, the remaining soul of the soul beast."

"The process of absorbing the spirit ring just now went so smoothly, I can actually guess where your residual soul will go."

"It's just that you seem to have found the wrong place." Lin Xiao paused here and raised his arm slightly. "Don't worry, your soul is with me. You might even see scenery you've never seen before."

"No." The elder shook her head and looked at Lin Xiao calmly. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face.

The mermaids were not bad looking to begin with. Even Lin Xiao, who had killed the Great Elder with his own hands, had to admit that her smile was the most beautiful in the world.

"Only after entering here did I realize that my defeat was not unfair. Perhaps it won't be long before you can defeat me in my prime. Ha, it's ridiculous that idiot Lao Ba actually wanted to occupy your body."

Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

The soul is about to be controlled by him, which is not something that can be easily accepted by anyone, but there is no sign of resistance on the face of the Great Elder, instead there is calmness.

But soon, he found out the reason.

"As the one who killed me, I curse you. From now on, luck will never be on your side, and you will never be able to escape the pain you don't want to face."

"One day, you will live in darkness, with unspeakable loneliness, for eternity."

The Great Elder's voice echoed in Lin Xiao's spiritual sea, and the remaining soul slowly dissipated as if burned by invisible flames.

"I may have chosen the wrong opponent, but I am different from those soul beasts. I will never recognize a human as my master, even if only this tattered soul remains."

Lin Xiao raised his hand and sighed softly, but ultimately did not stop him, allowing the last trace of the Great Elder left in this world to completely disappear.

As for the curse she uttered, he did not take it to heart. If a simple sentence could curse an opponent, Soul Devouring Douluo would not have spent his entire life studying the art of cursing.

Under the sea, light shone around Lin Xiao, and seven soul rings of black, black, black, black, black, black, black, and red slowly moved rhythmically. Soon, a brand new blood-red soul ring with four golden patterns condensed into shape.

However, he did not open his eyes. As he condensed his soul core, he felt a new and strange power emerge, and now, this profound power was leading his consciousness into a deeper meditation.

In the Demon Forest, the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters had not changed much. In the hall, Zhongli Wu sat in the leader's seat with a gloomy face. Occasionally, one or two disciples passed by, but they did not dare to stay for long and left quickly.

No one wanted to offend Zhongli Wu at this time.

"The leader."

Zhongli Wu raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this, and glanced at the Hate Douluo in front of him, "Sixth Brother, what on earth did you go through in the Ice Sea?"

Hate Douluo was stunned for a moment, then responded truthfully, "The Great Elder gave my fifth brother and me the corpse and soul of the Sea Soul Beast, and asked us to help her set up a large formation. It should be to deal with the heavenly tribulation."

"Then...where is that disciple of Lao Ba?"

"I don't know." Hate Douluo shook his head, "But Fifth Brother said that he was sent by the Great Elder to do something, and he probably won't be back."

"Did you see his body?"

"This is not."

Zhongli Wu glanced at Hate Douluo again, his eyes moving slightly, "Forget it, go ahead."

"Yes." Hate Douluo didn't notice Zhongli Wu's reaction at all. He turned around and left calmly. Only Zhongli Wu, whose face became even uglier, was left in the hall.

Chapter 192 Salvage

"We have arrived at the designated sea area, and the depth test has begun."

"Begin injecting soul power. Open the No. 1 and No. 3 main ballast tanks..."

"The rate is stable..."

"The tilt state is stable..."

"Depth continues to decrease, sensor readings normal..."

"The degree of consistency between the status of the submersible soul guide and the theoretical model is more than 99%..."

Several tents were built next to the coast of the icy sea at some point. The surrounding Sun and Moon Empire troops separated all the tents and prevented ordinary people from approaching.

From time to time, soul guides carrying flying soul guides passed by in the air, and no one knew what they were busy with.

In the largest tent, several soul engineers stood in front of different soul guide screens, watching the constantly changing numbers on the screen with bated breath.

"We've arrived. We've reached the predetermined depth. All readings are normal. The status of the submersible soul guide is still more than 98% consistent with the ideal model!"

A surprised voice sounded, and a young soul engineer who looked to be just in his twenties suddenly stood up straight and turned to report to another soul engineer beside him.

"Senior Ma, it's exactly as you predicted." The young soul instructor said, with a strange glint in his eyes.

Although the person in front of him looked young, he was the captain who led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy to defeat Shrek Academy and win the championship of the last Soul Fighting Competition. He came here to participate in the experiment of the underwater soul guide device because of the person in front of him.

Ma Rulong's expression didn't change much after hearing this. He took two steps forward and walked to the soul guide screen. "Continue to dive and test the limit depth."
