Douluo: The First Empire

At the core of the Star Forest is the Lake of Life.

This is the source of life for the entire forest and the most precious treasure this forest has produced.

There are lush vegetation around the Lake of Life, but there are no soul beasts. This is mainly because the overlords of the forest, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, live here.

They not only occupy the best cultivation position, but they also guard this place. To be more precise, they guard the 'things' at the bottom of the lake.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, long time no see!"

Before the person arrived, the sound came first. A familiar voice floated from a distance. Er Ming, who was in a daze by the lake, and Da Ming, whose whole body was submerged in the lake, all raised their heads to look at the person coming.

Hearing that there were two people approaching, Da Ming and Er Ming looked happy. Seeing that it was a man and a woman, Da Ming and Er Ming were happy, but when they saw that the woman was not the familiar Xiao Wu, Da Ming and Er Ming were disappointed.

"How dare you come to us without bringing Sister Xiaowu here?" Er Ming said angrily.

"That's right, why didn't you bring Sister Xiaowu here this time?" This is a much more mature and steady Daming.

"Hey, don't be impatient. I didn't bring Xiao Wu to see you this time because this trip is too dangerous, and I'm not here for fun. I'm here to get a soul ring."

"Additional soul ring? You have reached level [-]!"

"That's right, I reached level [-] just three days ago. Senior Kong Xuan has already gone to help me hunt the soul beasts."

As if the Snow Emperor had not seen the two 10-year-old soul beasts, he walked slowly to the lake. His bright jade hand reached into the lake water and gently stroked it, causing ripples in circles.

"who is she?"

Da Ming and Er Ming were very strong, but their perception was average. Coupled with Snow Emperor's deliberate concealment, they were unable to sense the general strength of Snow Emperor at all.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to help."

The underdeveloped brains of Ming and Ming did not take into account the deeper reasons. They subconsciously thought that the Snow Emperor was here to help Lu Yu hunt for the soul ring. After a few glances, he ignored it. He was just an ordinary-looking female human.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged by the Lake of Life, absorbing the escaping breath of life, keeping himself in the peak state to ensure safety when absorbing soul rings beyond levels.

During this process, Lu Yu could clearly feel that the tiny hidden wounds remaining from the previous soul fighting were recovering bit by bit. Even some scars were beginning to recover, and new skin was growing under the scars to replace the dead skin.

Kong Xuan moved faster than expected. When he reached the core area, the sun began to set. It was still dark before Kong Xuan came back carrying a bleeding 'bear corpse'.

"This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear will probably have some adventures after it recovers from its injuries. It has been cultivated for 6000 years now. Take the time to absorb it. It will probably bleed to death in a while."

Kong Xuan placed the blood-stained 'bear corpse' in front of Lu Yu. It could be clearly seen that the tough bear skin of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had no effect. A large piece of its abdomen was melted away. Including the tough bearskin disappeared.

Kong Xuan used the fountain of life to clean the blood on his claws amidst Daming's roar. This was purely a psychological obsession of Daming. How could there be any filth in the extremely pure Lake of Life, and Daming himself was soaked in it? In the Lake of Life, no one has disliked it yet.

While their attention was attracted, Lu Yu's first soul ring shone secretly, several illusory peacock feathers sank into the body of the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the second soul skill was immediately activated.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which fainted due to excessive injuries, immediately opened a pair of bloody bear eyes due to the severe pain that penetrated its soul.

Lu Yu had been deliberately standing directly in front of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so that it could see him immediately.

After confirming that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had clearly seen the painful figure, Lu Yu immediately stabbed the Dark Gold Treadclaw Bear's eyes with the attached soul bone colored feather sword, but the strength of the Dark Gold Treadclaw Bear's bones was beyond expectations. , only the tip of the sword penetrated its brain.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is more tenacious than expected. It has experienced two fatal injuries, but now it still has the power to risk its life. It propped up its upper body, waved its huge and sharp bear claws, and launched the last attack of its life on Lu Yu. one strike.

The power of this blow is not even as good as the casual blow of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in its heyday, but the power contained in it is fatal to Soul King level and below, not to mention Lu Yu who has not yet attached the fourth soul ring. This palm If hit, the bones and tendons will definitely be broken.

Lu Yu didn't panic at all. He held the Cai Ling Sword tightly with one hand as a leverage point, raised his body, avoided the clumsy blow of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and then kicked it hard in the face.

Taking advantage of the situation, he pulled out the colorful feather sword from the eye socket of the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear. When the sword was pulled out, blood mixed with cerebrospinal fluid flowed out.

The last light of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was extinguished, and its upper body, which was supported by force, collapsed, and its sharp claws were no longer able to support it. It cut three obvious scratches on the ground and remained motionless.

If it were Lu Yu who had gone through a life-and-death battle, he might have been torn between avoiding the attack and continuing to finish the sword. It was difficult to take care of both ends. He might have been hit by this blow and his life or death was in danger.

But Lu Yu now has rich experience in actual combat and made the wisest decision in the shortest time, resolving the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's life-saving blow.

After the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear completely stopped moving, Lu Yu jumped on its back, pouring all his soul power into the attached soul bone. The Cai Ling Sword shone brightly, cutting into the Dark Gold as smoothly as a hot knife cutting butter. In the Dreadclaw Bear's mind, even the extremely hard skull could not stop this full blow.

After a vigorous stir, a pitch-black soul ring rose up. This was a ten thousand year soul ring from the 6000 year old soul beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Lu Yu placed the Cai Ling Sword flat on his legs, and thick wisps of blood went into the Cai Ling Sword. The energy and blood of this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was more than the combined energy and blood of more than 70 soul masters, but But it is violent and bloodthirsty. If it were not next to the Lake of Life, Lu Yu would never want to absorb it.

With a thought, the soul power came out of the body to touch the dark soul ring.

At the slightest contact, the black soul ring rushed over impatiently along with the soul power. Lu Yu could feel that its eagerness was completely different from the eagerness of the 6000-year-old peacock soul ring. The 6000-year-old peacock soul ring was voluntarily integrated into Lu Yu. Lu Yu's body, and this dark gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring, couldn't wait to take revenge on Lu Yu.

Just as Lu Yu guessed, as soon as the soul ring of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear entered the body, it began to wreak havoc in Lu Yu's body, running rampant without any scruples.

That huge black soul power destroyed all the way along the veins. Every time Lu Yu's soul power tried to stop this soul power, it would be easily scattered. The dark gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring was not only higher in soul power quality than Lu Yu, In terms of total soul power, he is far superior to Lu Yu.

The black soul power is destroying it in front, and the blood energy of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the vitality of the Lake of Life are repairing it in the back. Every meridians that have been attacked are painful and itchy. Even if there is vitality nourishing the body, this feeling is... It will never be easy.

Lu Yu mobilized his soul power to gather in one place. He could not let it continue to destroy it. If it lasted for too long, his body would not be able to bear it, even if it was nourished by the Lake of Life and blood.

Victory or defeat depends on this!
