Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 311: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Savage aggression is the inherent nature of soul beasts, and fleeing when outmatched is an instinct shared by all living beings. Upon realizing that its water monster form posed no threat to the human soul master, Chang You immediately entertained the thought of escape.

After all, the ocean is vast, and even sea soul beasts can't claim the ability to lock onto a single target in its expanse. Chang You figured that as long as it could widen the distance, the human soul master wouldn't be able to catch up.

Besides, though it hadn't eaten its fill, it had consumed enough to stave off hunger. Returning to slumber for a few years to recover its energy sounded like a fine idea. When it emerged again, it would be as good as new. Having only recently endured its second heavenly tribulation, Chang You knew it still had a long time before the next one and saw no need to fight a human soul master to the death.

As a monkey, flexibility was Chang You's forte. It would fight desperately when necessary, but when it wasn't, fleeing was the wiser choice.

Chen Ming, observing Chang You's retreat, raised an eyebrow and unleashed his spiritual power, tearing open a small spatial rift in front of him. Through it, he sent the Dark Devil God Tiger, which had been stationed on the island, directly into Chang You's path.

Seeing the water monkey before it, the Dark Devil God Tiger immediately lunged at it with a bite. Chang You, unable to dodge in time, could only swing its long arm in an attempt to strike the tiger's head.

The problem was that, while Chang You was an ancient variant with an impressive physique—strong even by the standards of two-hundred-thousand-year soul beasts—its natural abilities leaned more toward a mage-like role. Hasty physical attacks were ineffective against the Dark Devil God Tiger, which had been strengthened by Chen Ming.

The Dark Devil God Tiger clamped down on one of Chang You's arms and unleashed its Dark Devil Evil Thunder. The fusion of ultimate evil and lightning proved as deadly as acid to Chang You. As the evil lightning invaded its body, Chang You felt half of itself rendered useless.

In agony, Chang You let out a pitiful scream, desperately manipulating the surrounding seawater in an attempt to counterattack. Yet the seawater couldn't penetrate the barrier formed by the Dark Devil Evil Thunder.

The Dark Devil God Tiger flapped its wings as soul power surged, activating its sprint soul skill.

Though not a teleportation ability, its speed was so close to instantaneous that it might as well have been. The skill propelled the tiger in a straight-line charge, during which its attack power doubled. This ability was incredibly destructive, functioning as both movement and offense.

Even in the water, where its speed was slightly diminished, the Dark Devil God Tiger's charge tore through vast swathes of seawater and shot out of the ocean.

During this process, for the first time, Chang You felt the ocean, usually gentle and accommodating, become as unyielding as steel. The immense impact shattered numerous bones in its body, leaving its form grotesquely twisted.

Chang You attempted to activate its water transformation ability to escape the tiger's grip, but the invasive Dark Devil Evil Thunder rendered even this final effort futile. Like a lifeless monkey, it was carried in the tiger's jaws and brought before Chen Ming.

As the Dark Devil God Tiger sought praise, Chen Ming patted its head and fed it some divine power from the God of Sin to strengthen it further. Then, with his right hand encased in the Darkgolden Terrorclaw soul bone, he swiftly ended Chang You's life, not even giving it the chance to self-destruct.

From Chang You's corpse, a soul ring with two golden lines floated out, emanating the aura of a fierce beast. Simultaneously, its soul core transformed into a soul bone under the influence of the world's rules.

This was a high-quality left arm bone. Even through Chang You's flesh, Chen Ming could sense the primal ferocity unique to ancient variants emanating from it.

With a casual swing of his Darkgolden Terrorclaw, Chen Ming discarded Chang You's monkey-like body, extracting the soul bone and most of the useful materials. The remains were given to the Dark Devil God Tiger as a reward.

Though the scraps of flesh were little more than leftovers, the Dark Devil God Tiger eagerly devoured Chang You's remains. After all, the blood and flesh of a fierce beast, no matter how diminished, were a delicacy it had never tasted in its lifetime.

After consuming the flesh, Chen Ming used the soul control skill granted by the tiger's soul ring to bind Chang You's soul ring to himself. He began the process of gradually melting it down to extract its power.

Chang You's soul wailed within the soul ring, believing it was doomed to an eternity of torment. However, after stripping away most of its soul energy, Chen Ming casually pulled Chang You's soul out and allowed it to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation by the world's rules.

Chang You's essence held considerable research value, so Chen Ming temporarily stored it in the left arm bone. The remaining pure soul power and a small portion of its essence were split in half: one part for himself and the other for the Dark Devil God Tiger. In total, the tiger absorbed about one-third of Chang You's essence. Though this was only its soul form, the unique circumstances allowed the tiger's age to increase significantly, rising from just over 100,000 years to over 120,000 years. A conversion rate of nearly one-third was remarkably high.

After collecting the soul bone, Chen Ming returned to the island, reassured the soul engineers, and directed the Dark Devil God Tiger to carry them back to the Douluo Continent. Sated and content, the tiger paid no mind to these insignificant figures. Once everyone was aboard, it flew back toward the Douluo Continent.

This time, the journey was swift, and they soon arrived. At an uninhabited coastal area, Chen Ming and the soul engineers disembarked. The Dark Devil God Tiger's soul was then sealed back into Chen Ming's Dragon Ascension Sword.

It was not yet time for the tiger to reveal itself on the Douluo Continent.

Following traces of human activity, Chen Ming led the soul engineers to the nearest city, where he purchased carriages and supplies. Together, they set out for Gengxin City.

The journey on the Douluo Continent took the longest, even longer than the time Chen Ming had spent traveling to and from the Sun Moon Continent. Despite rushing, it took over twenty days to reach Gengxin City.

Using a prearranged code, Chen Ming contacted Lou Gao and his disciples. Through underground passages, the soul engineers were smuggled into the city. Over the following days, these soul engineers gained their first insights into the Douluo Continent.

Initially, they had assumed that the claims of numerous Super Douluo and Titled Douluo on the continent were exaggerated. After all, the Sun Moon Continent produced a single Titled Douluo only once every few centuries. They reasoned that even if the Douluo Continent was strong, it could only manage two or three Titled Douluo per century.

However, upon hearing local accounts, they realized that the claims were not exaggerated at all. The Douluo Continent truly was teeming with experts.

Furthermore, the Sun Moon Continent's reliance on the formidable Evil Emperor—a powerful soul beast—meant that even with their advanced development, humans still harbored a deep fear of soul beasts. Large soul beast habitats were avoided at all costs. In contrast, learning that the humans of the Douluo Continent had completely subdued soul beasts left the soul engineers in awe.

From every perspective, the Douluo Continent was millennia ahead of the Sun Moon Continent.

Under Chen Ming's guidance, Lou Gao and his disciples began exchanging techniques with the soul engineers led by Shui Xuan. Even early in their collaboration, both sides found the experience immensely rewarding.

In addition to forging, Lou Gao also possessed considerable expertise in mechanisms—a field that remained underdeveloped in the soul tool system even after ten thousand years. Meanwhile, the unique technology of soul tools gave Lou Gao new insights into forging and battle armor.

A few days later, the first collaborative creation of the two continents was unveiled: the Green Pearl Wristband 2.0. Modeled after Chen Ming's original Green Pearl Wristband, it was crafted from a thousand-year soul bone and spirit-forged metal, incorporating numerous level six and seven soul tool technologies.

Testing revealed that the Green Pearl Wristband 2.0 retained the properties of a soul bone, allowing it to fuse with soul masters and significantly enhance the strength of their arms.

Shi Long, a Soul Emperor, equipped the Green Pearl Wristband 2.0 and found that each punch carried the destructive power of a Soul Sage.

When exerting full force, his strikes reached the level of a Soul Douluo. While the immense explosive power caused some muscle strain, neither Shi Long nor anyone else considered this a significant issue.
