142 Douluo PalaceWhen Lu Buliang heard Qian Renxue say that she wanted to meet Qian Daoliu, his first reaction was of course to refuse. However, if he didn't go to meet her, he would not be able to get the Douluo in the Worship Hall to help him hunt down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
This makes it difficult to make a decision.
Dugu Bo is now his only confirmed backer, but the reason he can defeat the ill-fated Tang Hao is entirely because Tang Hao is now a sick cat.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is not a sick cat. Letting Dugu Bo fight against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is undoubtedly sending his lover's grandfather into the tiger's mouth, which is too unethical.
You know, soul beasts like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger improve their cultivation by devouring other life forms rather than practicing on their own. In other words, Dugu Bo is simply the most delicious food for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and his cultivation level increases greatly after eating him.
After much thought, he was at a loss as to what to do, so Lu Buliang decided to follow Qian Renxue to meet Qian Daoliu.
Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. Putting aside all his worries, Lu Buliang stepped onto the second step.
Suddenly, an extremely brutal force acted on the 999th step. Trapped in it, Lu Buliang felt that his body had become ten times heavier. This was different from Teacher Shi Gao's resistance plus climbing training.
The resistance came from the front, and this time the gravity came from the sky, giving people a feeling of being crushed by a mountain. No matter how strong Lu Buliang's body was, he was suddenly suppressed by the gravity and half-knelt on the stone steps inadvertently.
However, Qian Renxue, who was walking in front, was not affected by gravity.
It wasn't gravity. Lu Buliang figured it out. It was the pressure from his mental power that locked onto him.
This feeling was just like the pressure exerted on Tang San by the Zhilin Education Committee in the original novel. Although he didn't know who released this pressure, Lu Buliang knew that someone wanted to test his physical strength.
Secretly urging his soul power, Lu Buliang found that his own soul power could withstand this pressure. It seemed that the person who exerted the pressure was intentionally reducing the difficulty.
He stood up with difficulty. The extreme ice and fire energy in his body turned into black gas and wrapped around his body. With the protection of soul power, Lu Buliang felt much more relaxed. He raised his foot and stepped onto the third step, then the fourth and the fifth.
Inside the worship hall.
The seven great priests were using their spiritual power to clearly see every move of Lu Buliang. The one who put pressure on Lu Buliang was none other than a Demon Subduing Douluo with a coiled dragon stick embroidered on his back.
Seeing that Lü Buliang could easily walk up the stairs under such heavy mental pressure, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but stare at the Demon Subduing Douluo and asked, "Seventh Brother, can you be serious?"
"Brother, this kid is quite something." Demon Subduing Douluo said, "I have controlled the mental pressure within the range that a Soul Emperor can bear, but his mental power and physical strength seem to be much higher than that of an ordinary Soul Emperor."
"Then increase it to a level that a Soul Saint can bear, and don't let an outsider set foot in the Worship Hall so easily." Golden Crocodile Douluo said sternly: "Otherwise, we old guys will be looked down upon by a junior."
"Yes." After answering, the spiritual power of Demon Subduing Douluo locked on Lu Buliang suddenly doubled.
Just as Lu Buliang was about to step onto the 50th step, he felt the pressure increasing again, as if there was an invisible huge iron bar pressing on his back, and he was carrying a mountain forward.
Soul power circulated throughout his body, strengthening his body with the aura of the two ice and fire fairy herbs, Qirong Tongtianju and Binghuo, and Lu Buliang released his external soul bone.
Black and gold lines appeared on his face, outlining his facial shape, and finally condensed into a black mask.
Half a year ago, after refining the Shadow Lord's original black bead, the fifth soul ring became the Shadow Lord's original soul ring, which can increase its years as the soul master grows.
Now the fifth soul ring has been upgraded from 50,000 years to 60,000 years, and the shadow mask bone has also become 60,000 years.
With the blessing of the external soul bone Shadow Mask Bone, Lu Buliang's mental and physical strength will be improved. With the protection of the aura of the three immortal herbs, he finally withstood the increased pressure again.
He straightened his bent back and continued walking up the stairs.
"Hmm?" Demon Subduing Douluo was puzzled. "Big brother said he is a level 60 Soul Emperor, but he only has five soul rings. Logically, the mental pressure at this moment is enough to break him down, but he still moves forward despite the stronger pressure. Does this kid really only have five soul rings?"
"Jiang Mo, it seems that you have been in the worship hall for too long and have become unfamiliar with it. Can't you even subdue a young boy?" It was the third worshiper who spoke.
"." Demon Subduing Douluo did not reply. If he really wanted to kill him, he could directly use mental pressure to crush the Soul Emperor with only five soul rings into meat paste. However, Qian Daoliu only asked him to test it instead of really taking action.
As the pressure he released grew, the surprise of the Demon-Subduing Douluo grew stronger. Was this black-haired young man really a Soul Emperor with only five rings?
Under this mental pressure, even a powerful Soul Sage would have to release his martial soul and soul rings to resist.
Seeing this scene with his mental power, Qian Daoliu already had a plan in mind. He wanted to try whether Lu Buliang's mental power and physical strength could withstand the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger. It seemed that just as his granddaughter said, Lu Buliang's excellence was far beyond imagination.
Suddenly, Lu Buliang once again felt extremely terrifying mental pressure appearing on his body. Compared with the last time, it was obviously one level higher. It seemed that the person exerting the pressure had increased his level. This time, the mental pressure was probably something that only a Soul Douluo could withstand.
As he suddenly knelt on the stone steps, a huge shadow martial spirit emerged illusoryly, and the surrounding environment was instantly rendered black by darkness and evil aura.
The martial soul was forced out, and Lu Buliang's body had reached its limit. In other words, under normal circumstances, he could only withstand the mental pressure exerted by a Soul Saint at most.
With the protection of his martial soul's aura, Lu Buliang regained his previous ease, stood up and continued to walk upwards. Soul rings slowly rose up from under his feet one after another, enhancing his resistance. He appeared to be even more relaxed than before.
When he reached the 200th step, Lu Buliang felt that all his attributes were strengthened. He did not use any soul skills, but instead used the external soul bone shadow mask to enhance all his attributes.
Just now, under the mental suppression of Demon Subduing Douluo, the shadow mask bone has completely merged with Lu Buliang's body and can no longer be distinguished from each other.
All attributes are enhanced by 100%.
This is the amplification effect obtained after the Shadow Mask Bone is completely integrated with the body. As Lu Buliang grows in the future, this amplification effect will also increase accordingly.
The strengthening of all attributes naturally also includes the improvement of one's own soul power, mental power and physical strength.
With the protection of the Shadow Martial Soul's aura and the five spirit rings that appeared one after another, Lu Buliang felt more relaxed. The mental pressure that had forced him to his knees just now could no longer cause any effect on him.
Lu Buliang would not give others the opportunity to increase their mental pressure, and ran quickly up the stone steps.
Seeing this scene, the seven priests in the worship hall were secretly shocked. It turned out that it was not that Demon Subduing Douluo intentionally let him win, but that this young man named Lv Buliang had a physical strength and mental power that they could not imagine.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When did such a genius appear on the continent?
This was the question that arose in the minds of the seven great priests at the same time.
Just as Demon Subduing Douluo tried to increase his mental suppression, Golden Crocodile Douluo stopped him, "Okay, Old Seven, no need to try. The young man named Lü Buliang has such talent, which proves that his future achievements will definitely be above the 95th level Titled Douluo. Let him come. Just consider it as granting him the qualification for the title in advance."
"Yes, sir." After replying, the Demon Subduing Douluo released the mental suppression on Lü Buliang.
At the same time, Lu Buliang, who was running up the stairs, felt his whole body lighten, and there was no longer any pressure affecting his movements.
The martial soul and soul ring were retracted into the body, and the shadow mask bone turned into light and disappeared, passing directly past Qian Renxue and running quickly towards the top of the mountain where the stairs led to.
Seeing that Lu Buliang became so relaxed, Qian Renxue's heart finally relaxed. The priests no longer obstructed him, which meant that they had recognized Lu Buliang's talent. When they arrived at the priest hall later, they would no longer have to worry about Lu Buliang encountering any accidents.
When he stepped onto the 888th step, Lu Buliang had a feeling of pilgrimage, as if the darkness and evil thoughts in his heart had been purified. When he reached the 900th step, he was very close to the offering hall. At this moment, his heart was extremely calm and harmonious, as if his soul had been completely purified.
The destination has finally arrived.
Stepping onto the last step, Lu Buliang saw two buildings in front of him, one of which was the Douluo Palace, and the other was the Worship Hall next to the Douluo Palace.
This is the supreme hall for soul masters. Generally speaking, only those who have reached the level of Titled Douluo can step onto these 999 steps to reach the Douluo Hall, and then obtain their own titles under the auspices of the seven great priests.
Although Lu Buliang was not yet a Titled Douluo, he had experienced the 999 steps in advance, so he was naturally excited.
It is said that the seven great priests exist to worship Douluo Palace.
Is that the Douluo Palace? Lü Buliang looked at the magnificent building in front of him and thought that under the hundreds of Titled Douluo's golden plaques around the Douluo Palace, there should be hundreds of corpses of Titled Douluo.
Once he has the strength to show his strength, he will seal the shadows of these Titled Douluo corpses in the Shadow Tomb area.
Glancing ahead, Lu Buliang discovered that a golden figure had been standing several dozen meters ahead of him since he had no idea when.
He was a man with long golden hair and a sacred aura like Qian Renxue, and looked to be only thirty or forty years old.
When staring into the eyes of this blond strong man, Lu Buliang seemed to be frozen in place. Just a glance between them actually directly blocked his soul power and movements.
Obviously, this is the suppression caused by the difference in soul power.
Unlike the feeling when his soul power was blocked by Dugu Bo or Snake Spear Douluo before, Lu Buliang still has the strength to resist in front of ordinary Titled Douluo.
But under the gaze of this blond warrior, he actually felt like he was looking up at a mountain, "He is Qian Daoliu."
