Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Gu Yue was puzzled.

She was certain that everything between her and Na'er was top secret, impenetrable even to Yun Ming.

How could Xu Yuan possibly know the situation?

But if he didn't know, why would he bring up the relationship between newborns and their mothers to Na'er out of nowhere?

Furthermore, many of his ideas seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally guiding Na'er's thoughts.

Gu Yue had often heard Na'er mention 'insights' she had gained from Xu Yuan, which Na'er found novel, but Gu Yue found less agreeable.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time, wanting to talk to you about it, but I couldn't make up my mind," Na'er said, her gaze empty as she looked at the sky, as if reminiscing.

"Do you know, just two days ago, a major event happened in the inner court, and all the senior brothers and sisters participated, but I was the only one who didn't. I feel like an outsider," Na'er's expression showed a hint of loneliness and regret.

"I should have participated. I'm also a member of the inner court, a disciple of Master and Mistress, and... his junior sister," Na'er said softly.

Gu Yue's brows were furrowing tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, she raised her head, looked towards the inner court, her expression slightly struggling, and could only abandon her decision. A flash of silver light, and her figure disappeared.

A moment later, space rippled, and Yun Ming's figure appeared.

Na'er revealed a happy smile.

"Teacher ~"

Chapter 341: The Process of Plane Elevation

Xu Yuan, upon learning that Na'er was also coming to the Demon World, didn't rush to leave the stronghold, but instead waited for Na'er's arrival.

Two days passed, and Shrek's gains here continued to increase.

One by one, senior brothers and sisters of the inner court returned from outside, reporting on the completion of their respective tasks.

Not everyone was like Xu Yuan, exploring aimlessly and conducting vanguard probes, where anything they encountered was considered a discovery.

Most of the inner court's senior brothers and sisters were conducting surveys with a specific purpose, such as examining the surrounding terrain and even the geology.

Among them, geological testing was very important, as it determined whether Shrek could quickly transform the environment here using the Douluo Plane's unique plants.

Of course, some senior brothers and sisters had also engaged in battle, but capturing demons alive was rare.

Most of the senior brothers and sisters brought back the corpses of demons, which were studied together with the corpses of demonic creatures that had previously invaded Sea God Island.

This is the war between planes.

Within a plane, the struggle between Shrek and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, as well as the so-called nominal good and evil with the Holy Spirit Cult, exists, but between planes, there is no absolute good or evil.

Even the Abyss follows its own principles, devouring the weak and strengthening itself.

It's just that for those planes that are devoured by them, this is boundless sin.

Now, Shrek is counter-invading the Demon Plane, and there is no right or wrong.

From Shrek's perspective, Shrek is not wrong in any way. They are seeking benefits for themselves and reserving means to cope with the possible God-Slaying Missile crisis in the future.

"The effect of refining the world's energy in the Demon Plane is still amazing. Even my body has been significantly tempered."

In fact, cultivating in areas not filtered by the Golden Ancient Tree provides the best tempering effect of the world's energy on Xu Yuan's body, which is one of the reasons why Xu Yuan wanted to go out.

Last time, because he was unaware of the surrounding situation, he didn't dare to cultivate directly with carelessness.

This time is different.

Having learned about the distribution of overlords in the surrounding area from Kai Yi and Sass, Xu Yuan could find a safe place to cultivate for a while.

"An interesting point is that even if I refine the world's energy to enhance my soul power and blood energy, the energy that remains after consumption will still remain in the Demon Plane."

Energy is conserved.

It's just that after soul power is consumed, it will exist in this world in another form.

If it is consumed in the Demon World, it will return to the Demon Plane.

And if it is consumed in the Douluo Continent, this energy will naturally be integrated into the operation of the Douluo Plane, becoming the foundation of the plane.

Absorbing the world's energy from the Demon Plane for cultivation, and then returning to the Douluo Continent, whether it is consumed in battle or the power of a soul master dissipates into the world upon death, it will increase the total energy of the Douluo Plane.

This is the elevation of a plane.

Except for energy planes like the Abyss, all other material planes are like this.

"The development of a plane is not just like this."

Xu Yuan didn't believe that if only devouring external energy and then digesting it in Douluo counted as the Douluo Plane's energy growth, then how slow would the elevation of the entire plane be?

Even if the plane itself absorbed a vast amount of star power, it should not be comparable to the Abyss's blood-sucking, right?

Over thousands of years, the blood sucked away by the Abyss is already unimaginably vast.

Such a vast amount of energy cannot be just the plane's instinctive elevation.

"Soul masters and other cultivator groups must also play an important role in the plane's elevation process."

If a plane that can bear the limit cultivators below the god level does not have cultivators of this level inside, can this plane progress?

Can it break through to a god-level plane and become a planet that can nurture god-level powerhouses?

"The stronger the cultivator, the more or less they will act as a driver, pushing the plane to devour star power with stronger instincts. It's like a certain organ in the human body. Once it becomes strong, it will prompt the human instinct to absorb more energy. If it's not enough, then eat more."

"Cultivators absorb energy from the plane to become stronger, but they also promote the plane to devour more star power from the universe. Whether they are equal is not important. What is important is that as long as the cultivator dies and the absorbed energy returns to the plane, then the external energy that the plane has absorbed more during this period becomes pure profit."

"In this way, the plane enters a positive cycle."

The Douluo Plane has been standing for so many years despite being sucked blood by an Abyss lying on its body. Why?

It is because although the environment of the Douluo Plane is deteriorating, it has never lacked strong people, and even the power of soul masters is becoming stronger and stronger, strong enough to open up new heights.

It's a pity that in such an era, the total energy of the plane should be rapidly increasing, and then promote the sublimation of the plane.

However, the Douluo Plane has an additional parasite, being gnawed at by the Abyss, for thousands of years without any progress. On the contrary, the overall energy is declining.

Fortunately, the Soul Master cultivation system is perfect. Even if the plane is regressing, the cultivation of Soul Masters is very stable, and the entire cultivation system is not affected by the regression of the plane.

Xu Yuan had many thoughts in his mind.

"Senior Brother, you're back?"

When Xu Yuan came back to his senses, Lan Muzi had already returned.

With him were also Senior Sister Tang Yinmeng and Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin looked very bad at the moment, covered in blood, and Xu Yuan could confirm that this was Tang Wulin's own blood.

His aura was also a bit weak, and the overall blood energy fluctuation was frighteningly low.

Was he overdrawn?

Xu Yuan was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Tang Wulin could be forced to this point with Old Tang around.

Thinking of Old Tang's forced shot in Dragon Valley, Xu Yuan understood.

Old Tang's chances of making a move are limited, and he won't consume this almost last chance unless he has to.

Moreover, if Xu Yuan remembers correctly, Old Tang's three chances to make a move, strictly speaking, only the first time was to prevent accidents.

Although the second time was also to prevent accidents, the greater purpose seemed to be to start Poseidon's divine test for Tang Wulin, further locate this side, and give Tang Wulin a boost to quickly improve his soul power cultivation and catch up with the power of the Golden Dragon King's seal, assisting him in better absorbing the Golden Dragon King's power.

Now Tang Wulin is only level 50, and remotely accepting Poseidon's divine test is not the best time yet, so now Old Tang has to endure even if he wants to start it.

"Wulin is about the same as you. He encountered a Demon Overlord 100 kilometers away from us, was discovered by the other party, and chased. Wulin had no choice but to detonate the level-nine fixed soul-guided cannon on his body."

Lan Muzi didn't bring back any prisoners this time.

Obviously, the Demon Overlords encountered this time were all those who had no chance of being captured, and he killed them on the spot.

Tang Wulin scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

On the way, he also heard about Xu Yuan's experience from Lan Muzi.

The difference is that Xu Yuan has a plan to use Nalundo to hone himself, but he really doesn't have one at all.

He was running away the whole time.

After Tang Yinmeng arrived, he didn't fight with that Overlord, but quickly hid in the back to heal his injuries.

Even if Lan Muzi hadn't arrived in time, Tang Yinmeng might have been implicated by him, and her meridians would have been damaged.

"I won't leave the base too far next time." Tang Wulin said dejectedly.

He lacked confidence.

He only had one level-nine fixed soul-guided cannon, and he had already used one. Now, he doesn't have the confidence to escape from an Overlord with his own strength.

Chapter 342 Xu Yuan's Invincible Road

Tang Wulin didn't dare, but Xu Yuan did.

After the battle with Nalundo, Xu Yuan had an understanding of his own strength.

He is still very strong.

In that battle, although he suppressed Nalundo, it was ultimately due to a combination of factors.

Without Lan Muzi's support, no matter how Xu Yuan briefly suppressed Nalundo for a few rounds, he would not be able to solve Nalundo.

There is no way.

His burst is ultimately not as good as Nalundo's. The reason why he was able to suppress him for that moment was entirely due to the Forbidden Art Seven Absolutes and borrowing the force superposition of the Chaotic Cloak.

If the battle continues, he will be gradually brought back to the situation by Nalundo.

Moreover, he also forced out Nalundo's burst trump card in advance with the level-nine fixed soul-guided cannon.

Otherwise, in a normal battle, from the normal state to Nalundo's sudden burst, Xu Yuan really couldn't withstand it.

Sometimes, the same moves, the same basic qualities and bursts, if the order and timing of the release are wrong, the solution of the battle will be reversed.

One side opens big first, and is counterattacked by the one who opens big later, and is counterattacked by someone who opens big with perfect control and interrupts the other party's battle rhythm at the moment of opening big.

The endings of the two processes must be completely opposite.

So, Xu Yuan's caution is reasonable.

However, another undeniable point is that after this battle, Xu Yuan verified his strength level.

That is, in the case of proper rhythm, he can suppress a Title Douluo around level 93.

Under normal circumstances, his strength is about level 92.

This is quite exaggerated for a level 59 Soul King.

He has crossed four titles!

He is the first person in the history of Soul Masters.

As for Tang Wulin?

Even if he merges another seal, he cannot be regarded as parallel to Xu Yuan.

Because Tang Wulin ultimately uses the power of blood, the power of the Golden Dragon King, which is affected by Tang San's seal, and can almost be regarded as the power of another martial soul cultivation system.

If he merges another seal, he himself can be regarded as a Title Douluo, instead of saying that his realm stays at the Soul King and he has the explosive power of a Title Douluo genius.

Xu Yuan purely relies on himself to explode the soul power of only level 59 to the power of the Title Douluo level.

It's completely two different things.

In fact, from this point, it can be seen that Xu Yuan's room for improvement is always no smaller than Tang Wulin's.

Even if Tang Wulin's soul power catches up now, the overall strength change will not be great even if he cultivates to level 80.

When his soul power is cultivated to level 99, the impact is actually not great. What really affects the upper limit of his combat power is the fusion of the Golden Dragon King's seal. This is the root of whether he can exert the power of the god level at the limit level.

And Xu Yuan's soul power will always be improved to level 80 or even level 99, and the improvement will always be equal, or even explosive.

This also gives him the qualification to explode the power of the god level at the limit.

Even not an ordinary god level.

Xu Yuan has always been taking a comprehensive path since he started practicing.
