Douluo—Chapter 20: 1500 Years, Creating Douluo Continent History!
The two quickly moved through the forest in the direction of the tiger's roar.
As they drew closer to the source of the sound.
"We should be there soon," Zhu Fan said, turning around and cautiously reminding Dai Chengfeng, "Chengfeng, don't leave your uncle's side for a while."
"Although there shouldn't be any extremely powerful soul beasts in the Tiger Power Mountains, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Dai Chengfeng nodded, and the two continued forward.
About half an incense stick later,
They came before a valley with a slightly lower terrain.
Within the valley, blood tigers with strong bodies, fur as red as blood, and a chilling bloodthirsty aura were lazily scattered in every corner.
There were thousands of them.
Dai Chengfeng looked at the densely packed blood tigers in front of him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Such a large blood tiger tribe—accumulated over dozens or hundreds of years. There should be a blood tiger emperor among them, right?"
He spoke softly.
Then, turning his head to Zhu Fan beside him, he whispered, "Uncle, please see if there is a Blood Tiger Emperor here."
Zhu Fan nodded. "Okay."
"Second soul skill, Spirit Cat Sensing!"
Instantly, a soul ring flashed beneath Zhu Fan's feet, and at the same time, his surrounding soul power slowly surged out like ripples, spreading in circles until it enveloped the entire valley.
After about a cup of tea's time,
Zhu Fan's eyes flashed.
He quickly raised his finger, pointing toward a shadow-covered cave not far away.
Although he couldn't see inside the cave clearly, he said confidently, "Chengfeng, it seems we're lucky!"
"There's a majestic aura in that cave, similar to that of ordinary blood tigers, but it's extremely special. It must be the Blood Tiger Emperor you're after."
However, Zhu Fan soon frowned again and looked at Dai Chengfeng helplessly.
"It's just that, in my perception..."
"This Blood Tiger Emperor is about 1,500 years old. You can't absorb a 1,500-year-old soul ring right now."
"It seems we'll have to keep looking."
With that, Zhu Fan turned to leave.
But Dai Chengfeng still stood there, gently stroking his chin and thinking quietly.
'1,500 years?'
'I've been practicing the Innate Technique derived from the Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic, and in the past year, I've been tempering my body with innate Origin Metal Qi... I've never slackened for a moment.'
'Although a year isn't long, it's not short either.'
'Half a month ago, I also secretly compared it…'
'Now, the toughness of my body is not inferior to top-tier soul grandmasters in the army, or even some low-level soul elders. My internal organs are several times tougher than theirs.'
'It seems so.'
'It's not impossible for me to absorb this 1,500-year-old Blood Tiger Emperor's soul ring.'
'After all, before the cheat king Tang San appeared, who would have expected the fourth soul ring could be a ten-thousand-year soul ring?'
Dai Chengfeng even felt that Tang San might have possessed the ability to absorb soul rings beyond the limit, especially since the second soul ring.
It was just that he was also bound by the 'conventional' cognition of this world, influenced by Yu Xiaogang's teachings.
Until he absorbed his fourth soul ring, he chose to no longer believe Yu Xiaogang and finally broke through what was considered the soul ring age limit.
And if he had continued to listen to Yu Xiaogang, his fourth soul ring definitely wouldn't have been ten thousand years old.
Thinking of this, Dai Chengfeng made up his mind.
"Uncle, this is it."
Dai Chengfeng said to Zhu Fan without hesitation.
"Thousand... thousand-year soul ring?"
Zhu Fan looked at Dai Chengfeng in surprise. "You want the second soul ring to be a thousand years old, and it's 1,500 years?"
Dai Chengfeng nodded.
"That's impossible!"
Zhu Fan refused outright. "The maximum age for a second soul ring has always been around 700 years—that's a fact recognized by the entire soul master world. But you want to absorb a 1,500-year-old soul ring?"
However, before Zhu Fan finished speaking, Dai Chengfeng interrupted him.
"Uncle, believe me."
He looked at Zhu Fan earnestly. "The so-called maximum age for a soul ring doesn't apply to everyone. Some rare items in this world can allow a person to improve their maximum soul ring absorption age."
"And some people..."
"With their unique past experiences, they can also break through those restrictions."
Zhu Fan looked at Dai Chengfeng, still hesitating but visibly determined.
"But..."
The age of a 1,500-year-old soul ring was unprecedented in Zhu Fan's experience.
Yet, after many moments of hesitation, he finally sighed helplessly.
"Oh, whatever..."
"I've seen many impossible things become possible with Dai Chengfeng!"
He was willing to believe his nephew.
"Then let's see how you create miracles and write a new history for the Douluo Continent!"
After saying that,
Eight soul rings suddenly rose beneath Zhu Fan's feet, and his immense soul power swept out like a storm, enveloping the entire valley.
At this moment,
As Zhu Fan revealed his strength, the blood tigers that had sensed the disturbance suddenly became furious.
They opened their bloodthirsty eyes, growling threateningly, bodies slightly bent, ready to launch a fierce attack at any moment.
In the cave, their leader—the Blood Tiger Emperor—appeared for the first time.
Its body was much taller than ordinary blood tigers, exuding an innate aura of kingship.
It raised its head and let out a long roar that shook the earth.
Roar—!
Instantly, countless blood tigers charged toward Zhu Fan and Dai Chengfeng as if commanded.
"Fifth soul skill, Hell Poison Claw!"
At this moment, Zhu Fan's hands were wrapped in a dark green light.
He waved lightly, and the light transformed into countless half-moon-shaped sharp blades, sweeping toward the rushing blood tigers.
They collapsed upon contact!
Under Zhu Fan's overwhelming strength, even the numerous blood tigers found no room for resistance.
The Blood Tiger Emperor was also dying under Zhu Fan's stormy Moon Blade assault.
"Chengfeng, finish it off!"
Zhu Fan turned to Dai Chengfeng.
Dai Chengfeng nodded, stepping forward slowly, condensing innate Origin Metal Qi at his fingertips.
With a flick, he pierced the heart of the Blood Tiger Emperor.
Blood spilled across the earth.
The Blood Tiger Emperor roared in defiance one last time before its massive body collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
At the same time, a purple soul ring rose from its corpse.
Dai Chengfeng immediately sat cross-legged, carefully channeling his soul power to absorb the Blood Tiger Emperor's soul ring.
"Huh!"
Zhu Fan watched the scene, taking a deep breath.
Although he believed Dai Chengfeng's judgment, he couldn't help feeling anxious.
He stared at Dai Chengfeng, alert for any unexpected emergencies.
After all, obtaining a 1,500-year soul ring was a record-breaking feat and would make history in the Douluo Continent!
