Lu Feng felt as if he had entered a strange world. The sky, the earth, the trees, the flowers, and the grass were all a brilliant golden color.
In the center of the heavens and earth stood the imposing figure of a man.
Lu Feng could not see his face clearly, only faintly making out the contours of the man's face. Surprisingly, there were two horn-like protrusions on the man's forehead.
The man closed his eyes in concentration, murmuring words.
At the same time, one red cluster of light after another dropped out from beside him:
[Picked up a red cultivation technique [Martial Soul Seal Method] fragment *1]
[Picked up a red cultivation technique [Martial Soul Seal Method] fragment *1]
[Red Cultivation Technique: Martial Soul Seal Method (10/10) (Synthesizable)]
"Holy crap! It dropped, it dropped!!!"
Lu Feng's body couldn't help but tremble, and then, with a thought, he synthesized the cultivation technique.
Lu Feng had painstakingly picked up fragments in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a year, only managing to upgrade one "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record".
He never expected...
Now he could just pick up a ready-made one?
Is this what it feels like to have a cheat!
Awesome!
The moment the cultivation technique was synthesized, the man in mid-air suddenly looked at Lu Feng. His golden eyes were like stars in the night sky, mesmerizing.
The next moment, the golden space suddenly shattered, and Lu Feng found himself back in reality.
At the same time, in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
The Silver Dragon King's eyes snapped open. "The aura of a Dragon King!"
"My Lord! Your subordinate also felt it!" Di Tian excitedly ran to the side of the silver dragon. "Could it be that descendant of Light from before again?"
This time, he had not sensed any unusual movement from Luo Wupao.
"No. A sealed dragon soul in the east of the forest has dissipated. Perhaps someone has obtained a Dragon King's inheritance," the giant dragon said slowly.
"Should your subordinate go and investigate?" Di Tian asked in a deep voice.
A Dragon King's inheritance, even if it was just a dragon scale, was an invaluable treasure for any race.
"No need. It is a human combat technique."
"A human combat technique?" Di Tian asked, puzzled.
The giant dragon said lightly, "In ancient times, enemies from beyond the heavens invaded Douluo Star. The Dragon God, together with several God Kings, created a 'Martial Soul Seal Method', entrusting the heroic souls of the fallen from various races to the human race."
"Although the human race is weak, their numbers are vast, and their reproductive ability is strong. It is precisely because of this that the fallen heroic souls could be continuously summoned. Ultimately, they repelled the powerful enemy, leaving behind a relatively peaceful world for future generations."
"The more times a heroic soul was summoned, the weaker its memories of its past life became, gradually evolving into the beast martial souls of the human race today."
Di Tian nodded. "So the martial souls of the human race are all formed from those heroic ancestors. No wonder the weak human race could develop into the number one race on Douluo Star."
Di Tian did not know these secrets. When it was born, Douluo Star had already entered the 'Martial Soul Era'.
"My Lord, how were the tool martial souls of the human race formed then?" Di Tian asked, puzzled.
The giant dragon looked up at the void, a hint of sorrow flashing in its eyes, as if recalling that heavy period.
"In the later stages of the war, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Beast races were almost completely wiped out, and the human race took over the battlefield. At that time, the inheritance of heroic souls was almost severed. Thus, the Dragon God deduced the inheritance method of tool martial souls."
After speaking, the giant dragon sighed and gradually closed its eyes again.
"What a magical cultivation technique!"
By the side of the dilapidated altar, Lu Feng looked at the small black turtle beside him and marveled.
The small turtle was only palm-sized, entirely black, with a strange rune printed on its shell. After taking only a dozen steps, the small turtle tripped over a small stone and fell onto its back.
This was precisely Lu Feng's Xuanwu Turtle martial soul.
After obtaining the [Martial Soul Seal Method], Lu Feng had tried to cultivate this technique.
However, after studying it, he discovered that this technique was not only for soul master cultivation but also acted upon the martial soul.
In ancient times, every beast martial soul was inherited from a fallen heroic soul.
The stronger the human, the stronger the combat power of the inherited martial soul.
Some people could even inherit multiple martial souls.
Cultivating this technique could help the martial soul recover its past life's bloodline, and even advance its cultivation further. The soul master could obtain soul power in this process and eventually become a deity.
The soul master and the martial soul developed together, just like the relationship between Lu Feng and Luo Wupao.
This little turtle in front of Lu Feng, in its heroic soul period, belonged to the renowned Xuanwu clan among the beast races.
"Swoosh!"
With a thought, Lu Feng recalled the little turtle into his body.
It couldn't even walk steadily now. Who knew when it would advance to become a true Xuanwu.
The next moment, Lu Feng's soul power surged. His body rapidly grew to about two meters tall, his shoulders widened, and his muscles bulged all over, making him look several sizes larger.
A black light converged towards his abdomen and back, forming a black turtle shell.
Unlike the possession of ordinary turtle-type martial souls, Lu Feng's turtle shell looked more like armor, fitting tightly to his body.
"Not bad, not bad. Even the martial soul form has changed. This cultivation technique is truly magical!"
Lu Feng looked at himself and nodded with satisfaction.
The [Martial Soul Seal Method] was a cultivation technique created specifically for the human race, and its design had considered human combat habits from the beginning.
Although the soul master and the martial soul could fight separately, when the martial soul was possessed, the human form was still the main one.
Only when the soul master and the martial soul achieved tacit understanding, and the soul master had cultivated to a relatively high realm, such as the Soul Saint stage, would the soul master attempt to transform into the martial soul's form.
After obtaining the Xuanwu Turtle martial soul, Lu Feng had also tried martial soul possession.
Although he had no prejudice against the martial soul's form, compared to transforming into a large turtle, he still preferred his current appearance.
"Since the possession form of the Xuanwu Turtle has changed, then..."
Lu Feng's eyes sharpened, and a surging soul power shockwave burst forth from his body. His entire body shone with an intense golden light, illuminating the dark valley as if it were daytime.
"Roar!" Lu Feng let out a dragon roar from his mouth.
His muscles began to bulge, his height increased to nearly two meters, and a layer of fine, golden, diamond-shaped scales covered his entire body.
Two twisted dragon horns grew from his forehead. His hands turned into claws, and each joint on his hands became extremely thick, covered with the same scales. His appearance seemed to have transformed into a "Dragon Man".
"Rip!"
The scales on Lu Feng's back split open, and a pair of huge dragon wings spread out.
As the dragon wings opened, his body floated in mid-air. His eyes shone with majesty, carrying an air of disdain for the world.
The next moment, golden light continuously surged around Lu Feng. In just a few breaths, the hundred-meter area around him had turned golden.
"Is this the power of a Soul Saint powerhouse? No, based on Zhao Wuji's strength, in my current state, I can definitely kill him within ten minutes!"
Feeling the surging soul power within his body, the corner of Lu Feng's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Only after obtaining the [Martial Soul Seal Method] did Lu Feng discover the true path of martial soul cultivation.
In ancient times, martial souls all had independent consciousness.
Soul masters cultivated meditation methods and combat techniques, while martial souls cultivated their own bloodlines. After martial soul possession, the strength of the two would stack together, producing an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
With Luo Wupao's martial soul possession, Lu Feng had obtained the strength of a Soul Saint level.
Not only that, after the martial soul possession, Lu Feng's [Holy] and [Light] attributes perfectly matched Luo Wupao's Light Dragon King bloodline, even producing a multiplicative effect.
Combined with the effects of the ice and fire body tempering, plus the large pile of attribute points picked up near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as the two BUG-level skills [Teleportation] and [Invincible Golden Body].
Although the duration of Luo Wupao's possession was only ten minutes.
But even against a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, Lu Feng was confident he could give it a try.
A brilliant ray of sunlight shone into the valley, and the thick fog gradually dispersed.
"Huh? Wupao, you're saying you can smell that white tiger's scent again?" Lu Feng asked uncertainly.
"Luo, luo!"
Lu Feng looked up. The distant cliffs were clearly visible. The water vapor in the valley seemed to have evaporated in an instant, completely disappearing.
He walked out of the valley, and the soul beasts he encountered also became ordinary.
Ten-year Blue Silver Grass.
Hundred-year Soft Bone Rabbit.
Six-hundred-year Ghost Faced Spider.
Three-thousand-year Holy White Tiger...
Lu Feng's eyes narrowed as he looked at the deep purple soul ring before him, his expression uncertain.
The white tiger was still the same white tiger, but its age was double what it had been 'a few days ago'.
Its body length was over six meters, its muscles were strong, and its tiger claws were as large as washbasins. Its attack power, defense power, vitality, and attributes had all been greatly enhanced.
It had taken Lu Feng quite a bit of effort to kill it.
"In just a few short 'days', this white tiger actually grew to three thousand years?"
Lu Feng stopped his random thoughts, sat down cross-legged, and guided the soul ring to the top of his head.
