115 Claw Shadow Corps
The so-called origin energy, that is, the initial energy that gave birth to the soul beast, is the source of the soul beast's power.As early as when Qian Renxue delivered Snake Spear Douluo's elder order, Lu Buliang also asked Snake Spear Douluo to bring a copy of an ancient book from the Spirit Hall.
It records many strange and bizarre soul beasts, including the Shadow Lord, the Titan Giant Ape, the Azure Bull Python, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and other super soul beasts with ancient blood.
In this copy of the ancient book, there is also some relevant information about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Lu Buliang vaguely remembered that in the original novel, Yu Xiaogang knew about the existence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger because he had seen this kind of soul beast in an ancient book. Yu Xiaogang had the authority to read the books collected in the Spirit Hall library before. It must have been because of reading this ancient book that he knew about so many powerful soul beasts that even Titled Douluo had never seen before.
According to ancient books, soul beasts with special bloodlines and who have cultivated for more than 50,000 years have the concept of 'original energy', which is the same as the concept of 'soul shock' that exists in soul beasts of ten thousand years.
When the bloodline of a soul beast grows to a certain extent, it will condense its original energy to form an energy body similar to a elixir bead.
For example, Dugu Bo's Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul evolved into the Green Phosphorus Snake King Martial Soul. Due to the improvement of his bloodline, he became the king of the clan, so he would produce the original energy of the bloodline and condense into an inner elixir.
The inner elixir of the Green Phosphorus Snake King's martial spirit contains half of Dugu Bo's power.
The black bead found in the body of the Shadow Lord is also an inner elixir condensed from the original energy, containing half of the Shadow Lord's power.
The black beads produced after the death of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the original novel also belong to the inner elixir condensed from the original energy.
What surprised Lu Buliang was that the energy of this Shadow Lord after his death had condensed into a 50,000-year soul ring and a 50,000-year external soul bone, and half of the original energy was hidden in this black bead. This is why soul beasts with special and powerful bloodlines can challenge a hundred thousand year soul beast with ten thousand years of cultivation.
"In the original novel, after Dugu Bo forcefully fed the Jade Phosphorus Serpent King's inner elixir into Tang San's body, this Jade Phosphorus Serpent King's inner elixir was helpful for Tang San's cultivation. Similarly, taking the Shadow Lord's inner elixir can also assist me in my cultivation. With the darkness and evil aura contained in the mountains and forests as a natural simulated cultivation environment, it is not difficult to increase my soul power to level 60 within half a year."
While thinking, Lu Buliang had already released the Shadow Tomb Realm, sealed the shadow of the Shadow Lord's corpse into the realm, and then used instruments to bind its shadow, making it a Shadow General.
This time, the instrument used to bind the Shadow Lord's shadow was not a mask or a ring, but a Shadow Mask Bone.
As an external soul bone, the Shadow Mask Bone can evolve continuously as Lv Buliang grows. If the Shadow Lord's shadow is bound to the Shadow Mask Bone, when the Shadow Mask Bone evolves in the future, will the Shadow Lord's shadow also grow with it?
After all, the Shadow Mask Bone originally came from the Shadow Lord, so this conjecture is reasonable and well-founded.
As the Shadow Tomb domain was retracted into his body, Lu Buliang had sealed the shadow of the Shadow Lord's corpse and bound it to the Shadow Mask Bone.
In the future, if you want to summon the Black Shadow Army based on the Shadow Lord, you can do it just like summoning the Ghost Shadow Army, without wearing any equipment.
A breeze blew past the semicircular stone formation, and the corpse of the Shadow Lord lying in the center of the formation turned into black ash and drifted away with the wind.
Its corpse disappeared from this world, but it is still alive, just in the form of a dead shadow, living in the dark world of the Shadow Tomb.
Walking into the stone formation, Lu Buliang discovered that there was a fist-sized black hole on the floor that was closely connected to the Shadow Lord's lower body. It was a bottomless pit. It seemed that if he waited another ten or a hundred years, a brand new Shadow Lord would be born at the bottom of this bottomless pit.
"This is the place with the strongest darkness and evil aura. In this semicircular stone formation, occupying the lair of the Shadow Lord to practice, the effect should be the best."
While thinking, Lu Buliang sat cross-legged in the stone formation and swallowed the black beads produced by the Shadow Lord.
After swallowing something dug out from a corpse, Lu Buliang inevitably felt a little nauseous, but the next moment, the surging energy was churning in his dantian. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but the surging heat spread into his limbs and bones, making him feel indescribably comfortable.
Lu Buliang circulated the ultimate ice and fire energy in his body, using the surrounding darkness and evil aura to assist in his cultivation, while filtering the ultimate ice energy like a burning ring and purifying the ultimate fire energy to refine the black bead of the Shadow Lord that remained in his dantian.
Right around Lü Buliang, in addition to the darkness and evil aura, there were also two extreme ice and fire auras lingering. Lü Buliang was like a small Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, releasing hazy food, and the black bead of the Shadow Lord was like floating in the small Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, being refined bit by bit, making the darkness and evil aura contained in Lü Buliang's body become more and more powerful, and the darkness and evil attributes of the Shadow Martial Soul became more pure.
"————"
Ten days later.
Death Canyon, in the dark forest.
In the center of the semicircular stone formation, Lu Buliang was still sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed and concentrating. He used the surrounding darkness to assist in his cultivation while also refining the black beads in his body.
After ten days of refining, the black bead of the Shadow Lord has grown from the size of a green date to the shape of a grain of rice. It will not be long before the energy refined from it is completely absorbed.
After a long time.
A black breath of uneven hot and cold burst out from Lu Buliang's body, forming a circle of ripples that spread in all directions.
Soul power increased by one level.
Now it is level 57 soul power.
At the same time, the black bead of the Shadow Lord in his body was completely refined, and the darkness and evil energy contained in the black bead had been transformed into Lu Buliang's own energy.
The darkness and evil attributes of the Shadow Martial Soul became purer, and the dark energy contained in the soul power became even more massive.
The biggest change was not in Lu Buliang himself, but in the fifth soul ring and the shadow mask bone, as well as the shadow of the Shadow Lord bound inside the Shadow Lord.
The fifth soul ring was originally produced by the Shadow Lord. After converting the original energy contained in the black bead into its own energy, the fifth soul ring is equivalent to becoming a growth soul ring.
That is to say, Lu Buliang's fifth soul ring is currently 50,000 years. In the future, as the dark energy contained in his soul power increases, the fifth soul ring will grow from the original 50,000 years to 60,000 years, 70,000 years, or even 100,000 years, or it may have the potential to grow to a million years.
Lu Buliang knew that what happened to him was actually similar to Tang San's fifth soul ring in the original novel.
In the original novel, Tang San's fifth soul ring came from the awakened bloodline of the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King through sacrifice. It is a growth-type soul ring that allows Tang San's Blue Silver Grass to directly awaken into the Blue Silver Emperor and obtain the original soul ring. In the future, the age of the soul ring will increase as the Blue Silver Emperor grows.
After absorbing the black bead of the Shadow Lord, Lu Buliang's fifth soul ring became the Shadow Lord's original soul ring, so it can grow with the growth of the soul master just like Tang San's fifth soul ring in the original work.
In addition, the external soul bone, the Shadow Mask, was also affected by the original energy of the black bead, and was upgraded from a 50,000-year soul bone to a 70,000-year soul bone. The shadow of the Shadow Lord bound to the Shadow Mask bone also grew, becoming a shadow with 70,000 years of cultivation.
The Black Shadow Corps was summoned based on the prototype of the Shadow Lord, and each member's strength is enough to rival that of a soul beast with 30,000 years of cultivation.
Unfortunately, with the current mental strength and number of spirit rings, at most he can summon five shadow soldiers based on the prototype of the Shadow Lord.
Lu Buliang stood up, calling upon the darkness in his heart and summoning the black shadow army.
This time, the group of ghosts he summoned were not based on himself.
Instead, it is the Claw Shadow Group, which is based on the Shadow Lord.
Five black shadows appeared on the ground in front of the semicircular stone formation, and five human-like monsters over three meters tall crawled out from the five black shadows.
It was a humanoid monster with a pitch-black body and a burly figure. Its hands were two huge claws, its feet evolved from a dragon's tail, its head was like a dragon's head, and its tiny eyeballs emitted a faint red light. It looked like a human soul master possessed by a dragon-type martial spirit.
However, the five black dragon warriors that appeared in front of Lu Buliang were not soul masters, but the Claw Shadow Group created based on the prototype of the Shadow Lord.
In the Claw Shadow Regiment, every Claw Shadow soldier has inherited the darkness and evil power of the Shadow Lord. Those huge claws have powerful destructive power and offensiveness, and also have slowing down and corrosive effects.
Once hit by the claws of the Shadow Claw Soldier, no matter it is a soul master or a soul beast, its defensive attributes will be corroded and continuously weakened. In a sense, when the number of corrosion layers accumulates to a certain extent, the claws of the Shadow Claw Soldier can tear apart all defenses.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The enemy will be attacked by the claws of the Shadow Claw Soldier and will also be slowed down, causing their physical functions and reactions to become slow.
Moreover, the claw shadow soldiers are not as fragile as other black shadow troops. They have extremely high defense and strength, and have a certain degree of wisdom. Just like the ten thousand year soul beasts, they have the ability to think similarly to humans.
With the Claw Shadow Group, Lv Buliang is equivalent to having five powerful companions. They do not necessarily have to be summoned to fight alongside Lv Buliang. With a certain level of intelligence, they can become a powerful force to launch a sneak attack on the enemy's rear, that is, directly attack the enemy's vital points, thereby saving Lv Buliang from danger.
What is even more surprising is that as the Shadow Mask Bone grows, the Shadow Lord's shadow bound to it will also become stronger. The summoned Claw Shadow Soldiers will then not only have the strength of 30,000 years of cultivation. In the future, they will have the potential to rival 100,000-year soul beasts.
As soon as Lu Buliang had an idea, the five claw shadow soldiers standing in front of him turned into black gas and dissipated. He secretly activated his soul power, and a black breath mixed with the four attributes of ice, fire, darkness, and evil burst out from his body. The violent soul power cracked the rock walls of the surrounding stone formation and covered their surface with a layer of frost and lava.
Among the four elemental attributes he currently possesses, ice and fire are already extreme attributes. After absorbing the Shadow Lord's original black bead, coupled with the transformation of the fifth soul ring, Lu Buliang's darkness and evil attributes are also approaching the extreme attributes.
Perhaps after the sixth soul ring absorbs the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it can evolve into the attributes of extreme darkness and extreme evil.
Practice, continue to practice.
Lu Buliang thought to himself, now that he had taken the magic herbs and the magic pills, he also had a natural mimicry training environment, the martial soul fusion technique, and the burning ring technique. He had mastered all the methods that could improve his combat effectiveness.
Apart from this, the only way for him to quickly improve his strength now is to cultivate soul power.
Quickly break through the bottleneck of level 60, and then think of a way to obtain the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly exploded somewhere in the Death Canyon, and the shock of soul power was transmitted to where Lu Buliang was.
It was a battle between soul masters and soul beasts!
Lü Buliang's eyes lit up, and with his perspective, he ignored any terrain obstructions and looked at a thousand meters away, where a team of two male and one female soul masters were fighting a giant spider.
Lu Buliang did not recognize the two male and one female soul masters. He could only see that there was a male soul master with red hair, and his martial soul was a fire-attributed martial soul with a tall and strong figure.
The martial spirit of another male spirit master is a crescent-shaped blade.
The female soul master's martial soul is a fox that exudes enchanting aura and charm.
This is Death Canyon, which is under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall. The soul masters who can enter this place are basically soul masters of the Spirit Hall.
Lu Buliang thought to himself that he didn't know the two male and one female soul masters, but the original novel mentioned these three people. The three of them should be the most outstanding young soul masters in the Spirit Hall, and were hailed as the golden generation of the Spirit Hall.
The red-haired male soul master is called Yan, the other male soul master is their captain Xie Yue, and the remaining female soul master is most likely Xie Yue's sister Hu Liena.
Lu Buliang knew the spider soul beast that fought with Hu Liena and the other two. It was a creature far more evil and troublesome than the human-faced demon spider, the Death Demon Spider.
According to Qian Renxue, the name of Death Canyon has two meanings. One meaning is that anyone who enters the canyon is almost certain to die.
Another meaning is that the canyon is named Death Canyon because there is a hundred thousand year old soul beast, the Death Spider Emperor, living in the canyon.
In the Death Canyon, the most common soul beast is not the blue silver grass, but the death spider.
Even though the hundred thousand year old Death Spider King was killed by the current Pope long ago, his descendants are still protected by other powerful clansmen.
The heterochromatic eyes clearly saw that the Death Demon Spider that was fighting with Hu Liena and the other two, both in its shape and the soul power it released, was enough to prove that it had been practicing for more than 40,000 years.
Hu Liena and the other two had five flashing soul rings on their bodies. All three of them had the strength of Soul Kings, and if they joined forces they might be able to kill the Death Spider. However, the three of them seemed to be in poor condition before the battle, so they were at a disadvantage.
When Lu Buliang saw Hu Liena and Xie Yue standing together, red light flashed on their bodies and then a red mist rose up. Outsiders could not see anything in the red mist at all.
Fortunately, the heterochromatic eyes had the ability of perspective, and their sight broke through the heavy red fog. Lu Buliang clearly saw that after Hu Liena and Xie Yue released the red fog, the two of them actually merged into one, becoming a warrior who could not tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Soul fusion technique? Lu Buliang thought to himself, not long ago he and Dark Qian Renxue used the soul fusion technique to transform into the Purgatory Dark Angel form.
