Chapter 224: Tang Hao Attacks

Brilliant blue light permeated the air, and Ye Lingling's figure was seen slowly floating upward.

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud began to rotate rhythmically in front of Ye Lingling's chest; with every rotation, the light on her body grew a fraction more intense.

The light flowed, and the three positions of her head, chest, and right arm were particularly conspicuous.

Shi Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly sensing the abnormality; after all, there was no such description in the original work, and it felt as if the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was searching for something.

"Could it be because of the Dragon Tribe Bloodline power within Lingling? Or something else?" Shi Quan watched this scene, lost in thought.

Within the God Realm.

The Sea God's gaze narrowed slightly. "She actually has a Shiji soul bone in her body, a water-type Dragon Tribe Beast God? And this aura feels like one of the very top-tier ones."

The Sea God was a deity who achieved godhood through his own ability; he did not participate in the original God Realm war, but that did not mean he had no understanding of it.

Moreover, the Five Great God Kings had recently issued an order that any information related to the Dragon Tribe must be reported.

"Although it is a god bone, the Source Power within it has already dissipated. Otherwise, how could this little girl's strength be so low after absorbing such a god bone? However, the boost this soul bone brings to the physical body and the Shiji soul skill contained within are far more valuable than a simple increase in cultivation."

"Test its strength!"

"I don't feel anything strange." Ye Lingling shook her head, then looked at Shi Quan with glowing eyes and said, "Xiao Quan, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud has actually brought me four skills! They are the Hanhaihushunzhao, the Universe Setting God Shroud, the Vast Sea Raging Waves, and the Universe Demon-Breaking, and every soul skill is extremely powerful."

"Good!" Ye Lingling nodded, then began to release the skills one by one. Because releasing either the Vast Sea Raging Waves or the Universe Demon-Breaking required her to exhaust all her soul power, she released the Hanhaihushunzhao and the Universe Setting God Shroud instead.

"Xiao Quan, Lingling has now received the recognition of the Haichenzhixin, but it feels like nothing has changed? What exactly is this Sea God inheritance about?" Dugu Yan looked at Shi Quan and asked.

"The Haichenzhixin is only the initial recognition. To inherit the position of the Sea God, one must go to Sea God Island to accept the Sea God's trials. Only after passing all of the Sea God's trials can Lingling inherit the position of the Sea God."

Then he walked in with his head held high.

The two women were startled upon hearing this.

"Sea God Island is to the west of the Douluo Continent. I have other arrangements before going to Sea God Island; we will talk about it after everything is handled. Now, let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring first."

"Okay."

Thinking of this, the corners of the Sea God's mouth could not help but curl into a smile.

"Although I don't know how this little girl absorbed this Shiji soul bone, no matter what, since she has already fused with my Haichenzhixin, she is my successor. The Divine Sense in this trunk bone has long since dissipated, and the Beast God lineage has also been sealed. Doesn't this just make it a gift for me? A successor delivered to me for nothing?"

The Sea God walked out of the Sea God Temple, and with a flash of blue light, he arrived in front of a magnificent blood-colored palace in an instant.

Time passed second by second, and the blue light on Ye Lingling's body began to dissipate as her body slowly descended.

"So that's how it is?"

"How do you feel, Lingling?" Seeing Ye Lingling open her eyes, Shi Quan immediately stepped forward to ask.

Zhu Zhuqing was even more astonished, saying, "As expected of an item of deity inheritance, it actually contains so many skills."

"This ability is even stronger than the True Dragon Soul Bone," Dugu Bo sighed.

"Where is Sea God Island located? When are we going to Sea God Island?"

Everyone nodded, and only then did they set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.

But even so, its power left everyone in awe.

God Realm.

"What are you here for?" The one speaking was a blood-red figure with a cold tone; it was none other than Asura, one of the Five Great God Kings.

"Of course, I'm here to bring you some news." The Sea God nodded slightly and strode forward.

"Speak," the Asura God said indifferently.

"I have found a successor," the Sea God said.

"So, are you here to mock me?" The Asura God's eyes turned cold.

"Of course not," the Sea God said hurriedly. "When my successor was fusing with the Haichenzhixin, I discovered that she possessed the power of the Dragon Tribe within her."

"You said the Dragon Tribe!?" A chilling blood-red light flashed in the Asura God's eyes. "Does the Douluo Continent have a Dragon Tribe inheritance?"

"I am not sure either; I only discovered that she has a Shiji water-type Dragon Tribe Beast God inheritance soul bone in her body. Judging from the aura, it is at least a First-level God, but the Source Power has already dissipated, as has the Divine Soul power."

"A First-level God? Could it be the Water Dragon King?" The Asura God's expression also became serious. "Share the information you probed with me!"

"No problem." The Sea God raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and a touch of blue light immediately sank into the Asura God's brow.

A moment later, the Asura God said slowly, "It is indeed the soul bone of the Water Dragon King. Less than one percent of its power remains, and the Divine Soul power has indeed dissipated. The fact that the position of the Water Dragon King has completely vanished is actually good news for the God Realm. This little girl faintly has the power of the Dragon Tribe Bloodline within her; I fear this is also one of the main reasons she was able to absorb this soul bone."

"You can rest assured about my choice of person." The Sea God patted his own chest. "I have reported the news about the Dragon Tribe, and I have even told you the news about the successor. If you have checked and there are no problems, then I can rest easy and pass on the inheritance."

"Very well," the Asura God nodded.

"Then I'll be off." The Sea God waved his hand, and his figure disappeared.

After the Asura God was silent for a moment, he raised his hand and grabbed, and four streaks of blood-red light flew out; he still reported the matter to the other four God Kings. The sudden appearance of the Water Dragon King's soul bone, although there were no problems with the inspection, could not be confirmed by him with one hundred percent certainty to be unrelated to the previous tremors in the God Realm, so it was best to report it first and discuss it together. As for Douluo Star, it also became a key target of the Asura God's attention.

Douluo Continent.

A carriage pulled by four sturdy horses was speeding along the main road. The carriage was very spacious, and sitting inside were the five people from the Sunset Forest: Shi Quan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo.

There was still a long distance from the Sunset Forest to the Star Dou Great Forest. To avoid the journey, after leaving the Sunset Forest, the five of them first went to Heaven Dou City to rent a carriage before officially setting off.

Seven days later, the group of five arrived at a small town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Let's rest in the town for one night today, and enter the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."

The group found a hotel in the town, deposited their carriage, and entered the hotel.

Although the town was lively, it was of no interest to Shi Quan and the others.

"Finally waited for them. It took so long; I thought I had missed them. Was it delayed by something, or was it intentional?" In the crowd, a pair of turbid eyes quietly watched the five people walking into the hotel.

With messy hair scattered randomly, this person was none other than Tang Hao, who had heard about Shi Quan's reward!

Tang Hao already knew about Shi Quan's Small Heavenly Cycle Cultivation Method, and Tang Hao had also heard about the Large Heavenly Cycle Cultivation Method.

Such things would certainly not be groundless; Tang Hao did not believe that Shi Quan would be so selfless. Shi Quan must have researched a better cultivation method in his hands before making such a basic cultivation technique public.

After Shi Quan awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, he was already on Tang Hao's must-kill list.

Now that he had caused such a big stir, if Shi Quan were allowed to grow, the threat later would only be greater.

Therefore, Tang Hao could not wait. He had to nip Shi Quan in the bud before he grew up, and since Xiao Wu was still in Dugu Bo's hands, he also had to rescue Xiao Wu.

And this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was the graveyard Tang Hao had chosen for Shi Quan and the others.

The next morning.

The group of five left the small town early and hurried toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not until the five had gone far away did a figure follow them silently.

Looking at the green ocean in the distance, Shi Quan only felt a sense of comfort; buried within the boundless green ocean were countless plants.

This was Shi Quan's second time coming to the Star Dou Great Forest; the last time he came, his strength was only that of a Soul Elder, and it was to snatch Tang San's Eight Spider Lances soul bone. He had not expected that by his second visit, his strength would have already reached level sixty, coming for his own sixth Soul Ring, and his targets were even two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Relying on their current strength, they were naturally no match for the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, but Shi Quan naturally had his own methods to kill these two Spirit Beasts.

"This Star Dou Great Forest is different from the Sunset Forest. The outer perimeter is fine, but even I have to be careful in the depths. Everyone, stay close to avoid any accidents." Arriving before the forest, Dugu Bo could not help but speak up to remind them.

"Understood." After the four nodded, the five of them officially entered the forest.

"Xiao Quan, what exactly is the target for your sixth Soul Ring? You've been mysterious all along the way, and you wouldn't say when asked. Now that we've reached the Star Dou Great Forest, it's time to tell us, right?"

Shi Quan rubbed his head and said, "Actually, if this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest goes smoothly, Grandpa Dugu, you won't need to take action; someone will naturally bring my Soul Ring to me."

"Oh?" Everyone looked at Shi Quan curiously.

"Interesting, then I shall wait and see." Dugu Bo smiled.

Shi Quan's Blue Silver Domain also unfolded, and after establishing a connection with the surrounding plants, the group began to speed toward the depths of the forest.

At the same time, behind the five, a figure was also rapidly closing in on the four.

Tang Hao might be able to perfectly hide his own aura without making the slightest sound, but he could not hide his physical form.

As Tang Hao approached, his figure appeared within the detection range of the plant connection of the Blue Silver Domain.

In the first instant, Tang Hao's appearance was transmitted into Shi Quan's mind.

"Tang Hao!"

Shi Quan's expression changed slightly, and immediately a phantom image appeared behind him, his Spirit Soul Martial Soul underwent Martial Soul Avatar, and as the five Soul Rings appeared beneath him, his second Soul Ring also lit up.

Second Soul Skill, Dream Illusion!

Powerful mental fluctuations permeated the area, everything around them quickly became illusory, and under the flickering halo, the figures of the five were concealed.
