251: The fateful duel has entered the countdown stage

Chapter 251: Fated Showdown, Countdown Begins

High above the sky.

Ye Wen's body soared into the sky. Beneath his feet, nine terrifying spirit rings—purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red, red, and deep blue-gold—enveloped the entire Life Lake.

At this moment, Ye Wen's combat power in his human form had already reached the equivalent of a Level 100 God Official, even stronger than a significant number of God Officials.

“This human form indeed has a very high ceiling, but unfortunately, it’s still much weaker than my Deep Sea Demon Dragon true form.” Ye Wen felt the power within his body and smiled faintly, “However, since I’ve already cultivated to Level 99, I might as well cultivate directly to the peak of Level 99.”

Whoosh! Bang!

Ye Wen landed and then continued to enter a cultivation state.

Over the past few years, Gu Yue and Naer's Soul Power had long surpassed Level 95, and several seals within their bodies had been unlocked.

Currently, Naer's Soul Power has reached Level 98, and Gu Yue's is Level 95.

After Level 95, each level unlocks a layer of the seals within their bodies. This means that Naer now only has one final seal remaining within her body.

With Naer currently controlling three layers of the Silver Dragon King's power, if she were to use the unlocked Silver Dragon King's power, her combat strength could reach the level of a Level 3 God.

Gu Yue is currently Level 95, so there are still four seals remaining within her body.

Gu Yue controls seven layers of the Silver Dragon King's power. Although four layers are still sealed, she already possesses combat strength close to that of a Level 3 God.

This means that Ye Wen currently has five individuals of God-level strength by his side.

Blood Ghost Devil God, Bat King, God King-level combat power.

Ye Wen, Essence Energy God, Level 3 God combat power, stronger than most Level 3 Gods.

Naer, ordinary Level 3 God combat power.

Gu Yue, infinitely close to Level 3 God combat power.

In other words, one God King combat power, three Level 3 God combat powers, and one God Official combat power. However, compared to the human Gods of the Douluo God Realm, this is still too weak.

The Douluo God Realm has five God Kings, eighteen First Level Gods, several hundred Level 2 Gods, over a thousand Level 3 Gods, and over ten thousand God Officials. This is simply not enough to fight.

Therefore, they cannot rest for a moment and are still cultivating with all their might.

Ye Wen also had no intention of giving up on cultivating his human form; he first wanted to reach the peak of Level 99.

And this year, Tang San's Soul Power only increased by one level, from Level 87 to Level 88.

This speed made Tang San very dissatisfied. He found Bo Saixi again and asked about cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit.

“Lord Bo Saixi, I want to break through to the Titled Douluo realm as soon as possible, but the current speed is too slow. Therefore, I want to add a fourth spirit ring to my Clear Sky Hammer Spirit. Do you think there’s a risk?” Tang San asked.

Bo Saixi released her Mental Energy and carefully sensed Tang San's current state. After a moment, she made an assessment and replied, “It’s still the same answer: there’s a risk, but the problem shouldn't be significant.”

“Thank you, Lord Bo Saixi.” Seeing this, Tang San no longer hesitated and proactively sought out Sea Soul Beasts to obtain a spirit ring.

After adding the fourth Clear Sky Hammer spirit ring, Tang San's Soul Power reached the peak of Level 88, and he was about to break through to Level 89.

On the other side, Qian Renxue had successively completed the Angel God's Second Trial and Third Trial, and was currently undergoing the Angel God's Fourth Trial. Her speed of becoming a God was rapidly catching up to Tang San.

And now, the day of the fated showdown between Ye Wen and Tang San was finally drawing closer.

Bibi Dong also did not slack off. She had long absorbed her second Spirit, and the last two spirit rings that had not yet been added to her two Spirits had both been cultivated to nine rings. She was also preparing to attempt the final Rakshasa God's Ninth Trial.

On the Douluo Continent, the inheritors of the Angel God, Rakshasa God, and Sea God—three First-level Gods—were all progressing towards becoming Gods.

Another year passed.

At this time, Qian Renxue had undergone a tremendous transformation compared to three years ago.

She had already completed the Angel God's Fourth Trial and Fifth Trial, and was preparing to accept the assessment of the Angel God's Sixth Trial.

Her Soul Power had surprisingly reached the peak of the Spirit Douluo realm within just three short years, entering the ranks of Level 89, just one step away from the Titled Douluo realm.

Tang San, on the other hand, had already reached the peak of Level 89 a month or two prior, but he was stuck there and unable to break through to the Titled Douluo realm, making Tang San feel that it would take at least a very long time to break through.

“It’s already been three years, and my Soul Power still can’t break through Level 90 to reach the Titled Douluo realm, and I only have two years left for my trial! I must break through to Titled Douluo as soon as possible!” Tang San was a little anxious.

He had now gathered six Spirit Bones: one 100,000-year and five 10,000-year Spirit Bones. The last one was found by Tang San on Sea God Island and various other surrounding islands.

It was obtained by killing the leader of a pirate group and forcing a Spirit Bone drop.

Tang San now only needed his Soul Power to reach Level 90, but he wanted to reach Level 90 as soon as possible, stabilize his current power, and at the same time, break through one or two more levels within the remaining two-year time limit, if possible.

He wanted to be stronger before going to kill Ye Wen.

Therefore, Tang San was very anxious now.

So, he once again found Bo Saixi and asked, “Lord Bo Saixi, what about the fifth ring? If I add a fifth spirit ring to my Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, will there be any danger?”

Bo Saixi shook her head, “If you don’t want to seek death, then don’t even think about it.”

Tang San said somewhat dejectedly, “Is there really no other way?”

Bo Saixi looked at Tang San, sighed in her heart, and said, “Of course, there is another way.”

“What is it?!” Tang San’s eyes lit up.

Bo Saixi said, “If you can reach Level 90 with your Soul Power in advance during the process of absorbing the fifth spirit ring for your Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, then you will have a very high chance of successfully absorbing the fifth spirit ring.”

Tang San pondered. Hearing Bo Saixi’s suggestion, he believed he still had a good chance: “Lord Bo Saixi, my Soul Power has already reached the peak of Level 89. I think I’m just one powerful surge of Soul Power away from directly reaching Level 90.”

“And absorbing a spirit ring can boost Soul Power. I believe I have at least a seventy percent chance.”

“Seventy percent, huh.” Bo Saixi thought for a moment, then said, “You want to try?”

“Yes, Lord Bo Saixi, I want to try.” A seventy percent chance was already very high for Tang San; he could take a gamble.

“Then do as you wish.” Bo Saixi did not try to dissuade him and allowed Tang San to hunt and absorb Sea Soul Beasts on his own.

Seeing this, Tang San once again headed to a distant sea area to search for a suitable Sea Soul Beast to obtain a spirit ring.

On the other side, Ye Wen had already cultivated his Soul Power to the peak of Level 99. Originally, he was just casually cultivating to perfect his human form.

But he made an astonishing discovery!

It greatly surprised Ye Wen!
