103 Shadow Lord
Death Canyon, such a dangerous place, is tailor-made for soul masters or soul beasts with dark attributes.Perhaps after absorbing the fifth soul ring, I can practice in the Death Canyon for a while to see if I can increase my soul power to level 60 as soon as possible.
While thinking, Lu Buliang had already followed Qian Renxue and several other spirit masters of the Spirit Hall into the dark forest in front of them.
It is said that the Shadow Lord lives in a stone formation in the center of the forest. The reason why this forest is so dark is because of the influence of the dark aura released by the Shadow Lord.
Although the Shadow Lord's lower body is tightly connected to the stone formation and he cannot move normally like other soul beasts, the dark aura covering the forest is like the Shadow Lord's hands, feet and eyes.
Once you step into the dark forest, no matter where you are, you will be in the attack range of the Shadow Lord. The surrounding dark aura will be controlled by the Shadow Lord and transformed into sharp claws or strange attacks to sneak attack the invaders.
Unless one is a soul master or soul beast far more powerful than the Shadow Lord, accidentally entering the dark forest will undoubtedly be a life-threatening situation.
Now that Thorny Porpoise Douluo has crippled the Shadow Lord, there is no need to worry about a sneak attack from the dark aura covering this forest.
That was why Lu Buliang and his companions were able to walk along the path so safely and boldly head towards the stone formation in the center of the forest.
The destination has finally arrived.
A slightly plump old man stood quietly on the left side of a semicircular stone formation. Two yellow, three purple and four black, a total of nine soul rings were slowly rotating under his feet.
The slightly plump old man put his hands behind his back and looked solemnly at the giant soul beast that was already unconscious in the stone formation.
Lu Buliang saw that the slightly plump old man with nine flashing rings was none other than the Thorny Porpoise Douluo.
The giant soul beast in the semicircular stone formation is black and purple all over, and its shape resembles a cobra, but it also looks like a monster formed by the fusion of a dragon and a snake. Its lower body is buried underground and tightly connected to the ground. At this time, this giant soul beast that resembles a dragon is already covered with wounds and is unconscious.
That should be the Shadow Lord.
After bringing Lü Buliang and Qian Renxue to the Thorny Porpoise Douluo, several Spirit Hall soul masters quickly left and returned to their posts to perform other tasks.
"Uncle Xue, is this the Shadow Lord?" Qian Renxue looked at the black and purple monster in the semicircular stone formation and said with some surprise: "It looks like a dragon-shaped soul beast!"
"Young Master, I sent someone to the Spirit Hall library to check. According to an ancient book, the Shadow Lord is a sub-dragon soul beast with ancient blood. It has both dark and evil attributes and was born from pure darkness and endless malice."
Porpoise Douluo retracted the nine flashing soul rings on his body and said, "The Spirit Hall has recorded this kind of soul beast. Ghost Douluo Elder Ghost's fifth soul ring was obtained by hunting a twelve thousand year old shadow lord. Therefore, his fifth soul skill can allow him to release a large range of dark aura, greatly increasing his speed while controlling the surrounding darkness to form countless ghosts to interfere with the enemy, just like a hundred ghosts parading at night."
"I think that the spirit of this kid named Lü Buliang is shadow. In terms of attributes, the shadow spirit is more compatible with spirit beasts like the Shadow Lord than the Ghost Douluo's Ghostly Spirit. If he can absorb the spirit ring produced by the Shadow Lord, he will surely be able to create an extremely powerful dark spirit skill. But..."
At this point, the Thorny Pig looked at Lv Buliang and couldn't help but sneer, "With only the fifth soul ring, you want to jump to the level of 50,000-year soul rings. You are simply courting death!"
Lü Buliang looked back at the gaze of the Thorny Porpoise Douluo and said sternly, "Your Majesty the Thorny Porpoise Douluo, you only need to deliver what I want to me, and don't worry about the rest."
"Boy, those who are wishful thinking will eventually have to pay the price." Thorny Porpoise Douluo said disdainfully: "Soul beasts are divided into levels just like soul masters. When a soul beast reaches a cultivation level of more than 50,000 years, its bloodline will be improved to a greater or lesser extent, thus becoming the king of the group. Do you know what a 50,000-year-old Shadow Lord means?"
"Even a level 70 Soul Saint wouldn't dare to say that his seventh soul ring can absorb a 50,000-year-old top-grade soul ring. I know you can absorb a 10,000-year-old fourth ring, but if you are naive enough to absorb a 50,000-year-old fifth soul ring, you will die miserably!"
"Don't waste your words, Thorny Porpoise Douluo. Thank you for your reminder." Lü Buliang said with a hint of sarcasm: "My physical strength is far beyond your imagination. As a Titled Douluo, your fifth spirit ring is only a thousand-year-old purple spirit ring. How can you imagine that my fourth spirit ring is already a ten-thousand-year-old black ring?"
"You!!" There was a murderous intent in Thorny Porpoise Douluo's eyes. When he was about to mobilize his soul power to give Lu Buliang a warning, Qian Renxue stopped him.
After glaring at Lü Buliang, Thorny Porpoise Douluo didn't bother to argue too much and said calmly, "When you are no longer useful to the young master, I will kill you without hesitation."
"That's a shame." Lü Buliang said confidently, "Whether now or in the future, the value I show is higher than yours!"
"Okay, Lü Buliang, stop irritating Uncle Xue." Qian Renxue looked at Thorny Porpoise Douluo and asked, "The Shadow Lord's bloodline is so powerful. Does the ancient book mention what you need to pay attention to when absorbing spirit rings?"
"There is no record in the ancient books. However, I heard that after the Ghost Elder killed the Shadow Lord, he was attacked by the Shadow Lord's evil thoughts."
Thorny Porpoise Douluo reported truthfully: "This type of soul beast has the innate ability to control darkness and evil. It can turn wherever it goes into endless darkness. It can also plant the seeds of darkness in the body, guide the malice in the heart and make it dark."
"When the Ghost Elder killed the Shadow Lord, he was suddenly affected by the aura of darkness and evil, which caused the malice, hatred, and various dark sides in his heart to be infinitely magnified. He eventually lost himself and became a dark and evil being."
"Fortunately, your father was present at the time. With the light and sacred aura of the six-winged angel spirit, he was able to eliminate the darkness and evil thoughts that were infinitely magnified in the ghost elder's heart. I asked you to come along to prevent such an accident from happening."
Lu Buliang probably understood what Thorny Porpoise Douluo wanted to express.
Soul beasts like the Shadow Lord have an innate protective aura. Once someone kills them, the person will be corroded by the aura of darkness and evil. The dark side of their heart will be guided and magnified, causing them to lose themselves and become an unconscious and unconscious evil being.
This is what is called darkening.
Looking at the Shadow Lord lying motionless on the ground in the center of the semicircular stone formation, Lu Buliang couldn't help but sigh, the soul beast with dark attributes is indeed extraordinary, guiding the darkness and evil deep in his heart?
When summoning the Shadow Army, isn't it just calling upon the darkness within?
If the Shadow Lord's soul ring can be successfully absorbed, it will definitely bring an unexpected soul skill to the Shadow Martial Soul.
While thinking, Lu Buliang had already walked towards the stone formation, possessed by the shadow martial spirit, his eyes flashed with cold light, and the black energy wrapped around his body condensed into a shadow-breaking spear.
When he was less than five meters away from the semicircular stone formation, Lu Buliang discovered that the stone formation was ten meters high. The Shadow Lord lying in the center of the stone formation had a black and purple body that was four meters tall. If his body was in an upright position, he would be estimated to be eight meters away.
Just as Lü Buliang stabbed the Shadow Spear at the Shadow Lord's head, Qian Renxue immediately shouted, "Lü Buliang, calm down first. Didn't you hear what Uncle Xue just said? Anyone who kills the Shadow Lord will be corroded by darkness and evil and lose himself!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I know. Didn't Thorny Porpoise Douluo say that just now?" Lu Buliang looked at Qian Renxue and said with a smile, "The light released by your six-winged angel martial spirit can help me erase the infection of darkness and evil aura. With you here, nothing will happen to me."
"You..." Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's up to you. If I can't save you, you'll be a walking corpse for the rest of your life!"
Lu Buliang nodded, and suddenly swung down the hand holding the Shadow-Breaking Spear. The black spear head pierced towards the head of the Shadow Lord with a violent sound of breaking through the air.
Phew.
Blood splattered as the Shadow Lord's huge and ferocious head was pierced through by the attack of the Shadow-Breaking Spear. The soul beast was killed by Lu Buliang.
Suddenly, Lu Buliang's body was electrocuted and he felt numb all over. Then, everything went dark in front of his eyes and he could clearly hear the thumping of his heart.
As his consciousness completely fell into darkness, Lu Buliang's heterochromatic pupils turned scarlet, the black air wrapped around his body became thicker and thicker, and a feeling of suffocation arose spontaneously.
A large amount of darkness and evil aura poured out from the Shadow Lord and continued to gather towards Lu Buliang's body, completely wrapping him up and forming a human-shaped black mist.
The next moment, Lü Buliang, who was wrapped in darkness and evil, held his head with both hands and the Shadow-Breaking Spear fell to the ground. At the same time, the malice deep in Lü Buliang's heart continued to grow.
The oppression he endured when he first met Dugu Bo, the threats he faced when doing business with the Pozhi clan, and the intimidation he suffered from Snake Spear and Thorny Turtle Douluo when he first met Qian Renxue, all these experiences that had once made Lu Buliang feel malicious came to his mind one after another.
Under the backlash of the darkness and evil aura of the Shadow Lord, Lu Buliang had only one thought at the moment, that was to kill. Kill all those who threatened him and made him unhappy.
As this resentment became stronger and stronger, Lu Buliang was losing his self-awareness bit by bit. When his brain was filled with hatred, resentment, anger, and all kinds of negative emotions from deep in his heart, he realized that the darkness and evil thoughts in his heart were being magnified bit by bit.
Now, this evil thought is about to overwhelm him, and his consciousness is on the verge of collapse.
Seeing that Lü Buliang had been enveloped by the dense black fog and was screaming like a madman, Thorny Porpoise Douluo finally reacted, "Oh no, it's the backlash of the evil thoughts of the Shadow Lord after his death."
"Young Master, quickly release the six-winged angel spirit. It will be too late if we let that kid be completely swallowed up by evil thoughts and darkness!"
