Chapter 178: Profound Phoenix Heaven Spear Decision

After the Refining Heart Tower was placed into the Star Dou Great Forest, for several months any soul master who entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul rings encountered unknown attacks.

At most they just lost consciousness for a while, and soon after they would be released.

Di Tian considered that if it caused massive casualties, human soul masters would surely spare no expense to attack the high-level soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

So this cannot be started; just for a little information there's no need to mobilize such great forces.

It is also because of the Refining Heart Tower that the ages of many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest began to accelerate; following this came a group of people absurdly strong.

Their ranks aren't necessarily high, but they are definitely very young, and most of them wield long-handled weapons.

Upon entering they hunt hundred-year soul beasts of high age, and specifically target the soul rings of top-tier soul beast bloodlines.

Even more absurdly, high-level thousand-year soul beasts are also not spared; instead, low-level hundred-, thousand-, and ten-thousand-year soul beasts can avoid harm.

As time passed, the numbers of low-level hundred-, thousand-, and ten-thousand-year soul beasts gradually increased; meanwhile, high-level ones became easier to hunt.

Until the ecosystem stabilized.

And Di Tian also noticed a clue: these absurdly young soul masters who specialize in hunting hundred-year soul beasts equivalent to high-level ones all come from that person's sect.

Yang Yun, Breaking Heaven Sect!

One sect, unknown how many Title Douluo there are; only certain is that there are at least ten Super Douluo, and their number is likely still increasing.

This speculation alone makes one's scalp tingle.

I can hardly believe this is real; is this world still the same as the continent I previously inhabited?

Could it be that the gods secretly tossed the Star Dou Great Forest into another world?

After some thought, the Silver Dragon King sent Di Tian to the Extreme North and the Ocean, discovering that among the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North only the Titan Snow Demon King remained, guarding a similar tower.

After not seeing it for a while, the Titan Snow Demon King's cultivation had increased by several thousand years; it seems its rate of improvement is not slow.

The final inquiry's result, however, left Di Tian silent.

That man's wife had actually obtained the inheritances of the Goddess of Life and the Ice God; a sect with two God King inheritors; one inheritor of a first-rank god.

What kind of divine being is this exactly.

Could it be the Dragon God's reincarnation?

Even if it were the Dragon God's reincarnation, it might not necessarily find a God King inheritor as a wife...

Di Tian returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and reported all this to the Silver Dragon King; the Silver Dragon King, who originally had some hope of gaining something from this information, fell silent directly.

One apocalypse is already enough of a headache, and you still had me find out about a Goddess of Life and an Ice God?

That's two God Kings and one first-rank god.

Those guys wanting to kill me wouldn't need to go to such trouble.

The Silver Dragon King involuntarily doubted the true purpose of that tower outside—whether it was for healing wounds or targeting her new plot—but that day she did not sense any divine gaze scrutinizing Yang Yun.

That would mean the divine realm hasn't discovered her; then what exactly are those nine towers outside for?

The Silver Dragon King fell into thought, yet did not let Bi Ji stop sending soul power. —In fact, Yang Yun merely wanted the Breaking Heaven Sect to obtain sufficient soul beast soul rings, so he set up nine Refining Heart Towers to increase the beasts' cultivation speed.

Everything else could only be considered a bonus; after all, free things are the most costly.

Time passed in a flash; Yang Yun didn't know how long things had gone on, but two external soul bones were finally nurtured by his soul power to the level of a hundred thousand years.

The immense soul power of eight soul crystals constantly washed over, making it so swift.

Strictly speaking, the soul power cultivated by Yang Yun's Phoenix Spear Technique, when condensed into soul crystal energy, already surpasses the level of soul power in quality.

Nurturing external soul bones is merely a matter of snatching them up.

Moreover, during this period of closed-door cultivation, Yang Yun used the fourth soul skill provided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm; simulating and deducing soul skills, he removed the neutral and harmonious aspect of the Profound Heaven Technique.

There's no way the neutral and harmonious Profound Heaven Technique and the Flame Spear Zhu Li's Phoenix Spear Technique could be more opposite.

However, the Profound Heaven Technique's Daoist specialty of unbroken kung fu characteristics was retained, and its function of nourishing the meridians and physique was amplified somewhat.

Better suited to Yang Yun's Phoenix Spear Technique's soul power, the strengthening methods also became correspondingly more violent.

The effect also became more pronounced.

The Phoenix Spear Technique was renamed Profound Phoenix Heaven Spear Decision!

The reason for emerging from seclusion this time is because the Spirit Hall has made a big move; to be precise, it already has.

The Spirit Hall, as expected, is a colossal entity that has developed over thousands of years across the entire continent; even if one's Sharp Feather Hall is swift, it still cannot quickly detect the Spirit Hall's movements.

By the time it was noticed, the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Family had already suffered a calamity.

At the same time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect also suffered harm, and the personnel the Spirit Hall deployed this time were no less than in the original.

The Elder Hall directly stepped in to support the Papal Hall.

Under the fierce assault of the Golden Crocodile King's martial soul, led by the ninety-eighth-rank Golden Crocodile Douluo and four Title Douluo, Yu Yuan Zhen of the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Family unfortunately fell on the spot.

Finally, when trying to let Yu Tianheng escape to safety, the spatial passage was directly bitten apart by the Golden Crocodile King's martial soul.

If not for Du Gu Yan standing before Yu Tianheng to block the Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Family would have had nothing left.

Du Gu Yan directly produced a token and stood before Yu Tianheng facing the Golden Crocodile Douluo: 'This is the token my grandfather bestowed upon me; if I suffer any mishap, my grandfather will without hesitation declare war on the Spirit Hall, sparing no cost to avenge me!'

'At the same time I'm not afraid to tell you, my grandfather is the sect's First Sacrificial Offering; Aunt Liu Erlong and the Sect Leader have moreover been rolling in bed for over half a year, and I, Tianheng, and the lands of the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Family cannot suffer any mishap.'

'As for the items within the clan lands,'

Du Gu Yan turned his head to glance at Yu Tianheng, lightly biting his lip: 'That is your Spirit Hall's spoils of war; dispose of them as you wish.'

The Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately sensed the hidden meaning exposed in those few words.

Without mercy, he left only a single rift between Yu Tianheng and Du Gu Yan.

He chuckled and said: 'It seems the Breaking Heaven Sect's Sect Leader has long coveted the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Family's clan lands, actually planting this nail of yours so early.'

Yu Tianheng, even knowing the Golden Crocodile Douluo was sowing discord, still couldn't help but look toward Du Gu Yan.

Yet Du Gu Yan showed no reaction, standing firm before him and saying: 'My death, Du Gu Yan, is of little consequence; only this consequence the Spirit Hall must weigh carefully; my sect still has no intention of entering the fray.'

These last words, obviously, are not something Du Gu Yan is qualified to say.
