08 Tang San, Xiao Wu breaks the defense! Douluo God King despises! The heavens despise (Ch 08)

【Battle Through the World】

“A hundred thousand year spirit ring? Wow! It sounds even rarer than a ninth-grade profound elixir! Can this thing directly improve the strength of a Dou Emperor?”

Xiao Yan smacked his lips, his eyes sparkling, “Sacrifice? Exchange life for power? And give away soul bones? This operation… Holy shit! This is too cruel! Isn’t this much more powerful than the old man in the ring?!”

“Humph! External forces are nothing but a side path after all! Only hard work on one’s own, breaking through and then building up again, is the right path! But…”

A trace of disdain flashed across Emperor Hun Tian’s eyes, but he was secretly calculating in his heart, “If I can use this ‘sacrifice’ method on my Hun Clan to extract the essence of the soul… maybe I can accomplish my grand plan faster? Hehehe…”

“At the cost of one’s life, one burns one’s soul in exchange for power… Although this method is against the will of heaven and is too extreme, it also secretly conforms to some kind of principle of heaven and earth, and contains some fragments of the avenue.” Yao Lao stroked his beard and pondered, his eyes complicated, “The rules… It seems that in some special circumstances, they can indeed be broken by ‘love’ or ‘plot needs’. But the price is too high, and it cannot be done without great perseverance and great sacrifice.”

“One hundred thousand years… is roughly equivalent to the peak Douluo Saint of our eight ancient clans, right? How could it be directly absorbed by a Soul Emperor-level kid? The rules of this Douluo world… are really a joke!” Gu Yuan frowned, feeling incredible.

“The power of love? Humph, how foolish! Burning one’s own cultivation and life of 100,000 years for a man? It’s simply a losing deal!” Queen Medusa sneered, her eyes full of contempt, “If it were me, the queen, I would definitely make that man sacrifice himself for me!”

Xun’er covered her mouth lightly, with a trace of shock and sadness in her beautiful eyes: “Using love…burning life…to break the shackles of rules? So…so great, but also so sad…Sister Xiaowu, it’s really…”

…

【Perfect World】

“One hundred thousand years? Compared with the creatures of the ancient era of immortals, it’s just a blink of an eye. Sacrifice in exchange for power? Humph, external objects are external objects after all. We cultivators should seek immortality, use our bodies as seeds, and blow up everything!” Shi Hao sneered at this. He firmly believed that he was the strongest treasure. He looked down upon the power obtained at the sacrifice of others.

“A loophole in the rules… Interesting. Shake the Tao with emotion, break the limit with death… Burn everything in oneself, including emotions, life, and Tao fruit, and transform it into a moment of brilliance that breaks the shackles of rules… It can be regarded as an extreme ‘law’, an alternative ‘Tao’.” The voice of Willow God is ethereal and ethereal, as if he has seen through some essence, and there is a hint of admiration and compassion in his tone.

“Hahaha! Cheats! Cheats! Well said! Isn’t this blatant cheating? And it’s officially certified! So funny! I like to watch this kind of revealing drama!” Dashenshi gloated over other’s misfortune and jumped up and down on Shi Hao’s shoulder, as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

“Sacrificing soul beasts to strengthen oneself… This method is too domineering and cruel. Taking away other people’s Taoist fruits is against the harmony of nature and is not in the right way.” Meng Tianzheng frowned, quite disdainful of this predatory way of becoming stronger.

“Hehe, I’d like to see how the power of ‘love’ can crush those damn rules to the ground! This light curtain has something! It better be more powerful!” Qi Daolin grinned evilly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Huo Linger, Yun Xi and other women had complicated expressions. They were moved by the passionate “love” and selfless sacrifice, but they also felt that this method was too extreme and tragic, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.

…

【Primordial World】

“A hundred thousand year soul ring? To saints like us, it’s just a moment of time. Sacrifice? Ha, little Taoist, compared with transforming yourself into reincarnation and sacrificing yourself to mend the sky, it’s just the light of a firefly, not worth mentioning.” Yuanshi Tianzun was still high above, sitting upright in Yuxu Palace, his tone indifferent, with a hint of contempt.

“There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and one is missing. The rules are subject to variables, and emotions can also shake the rules. This is common sense and nothing surprising.” Taishang Laojun closed his eyes and rested, ruling by inaction, as if everything was under his control.

“Haha! Cheats! Well said! Rules are meant to be broken! This light curtain is interesting! Powerful enough! Keep going! Reveal it to me fiercely! See how much fun there is in this Douluo world!” Patriarch Tongtian laughed and clapped his hands. He seemed extremely excited, and the sword energy in the Biyou Palace soared into the sky.

Nuwa frowned slightly, looking at the light curtain, remembering her merits in refining stones to mend the sky, and the mercy of Hou Tu’s reincarnation. She did not agree with this method of exchanging individual sacrifices for power, which was even defined as “plug-in”, and sighed softly: “The word love is admirable, but also sad and lamentable.”

The Taoist Jie Yin showed a look of suffering, and put his hands together: “All living beings suffer, and being trapped by love is even more suffering. In the name of love, doing things outside the rules, although there is a moment of glory, it is ultimately difficult to escape reincarnation. Amitabha.”

Taoist Zhunti rolled his eyes and whispered to his senior brother: “Senior brother, although this method of ‘sacrifice’ is not the right way, its effect of ‘ignoring the rules’ is quite strange. If we can introduce it into our Western religion and ‘convert’ it… maybe… hehe…”

…

Just as all living beings in the world were having different thoughts, some shocked, some angry, some disdainful, some expectant, and were having heated discussions!

On the light curtain, the picture flowed mercilessly again!

This time, it did not list any boring theories, but directly played a video that was enough to make all the creatures in the Douluo World, especially Tang San and Xiao Wu, heartbroken!

This video has been carefully edited and accompanied by passionate and sad background music, which brings the visual impact of that plot to the extreme!

[Image source: “Douluo World” plot climax clip · Star Forest · Xiao Wu’s sacrifice! ]

[Highly explosive/tear-jerking/high energy warning! ]

In the picture is the familiar yet dangerous Star Forest.

The night is as dark as ink, filled with murderous intent and the air is filled with despair!

The several Soul Saints of the Spirit Hall, like evil spirits crawling out of hell, with ferocious smiles and determination to kill, forced the young Tang San and Xiao Wu into a desperate situation! The golden soul rings shone, but with the shadow of death!

At that time, Tang San was only a Soul Emperor at level 60. Facing the Soul Saints whose soul power, experience, and number of people far exceeded his own, even if he had many means, he was already at the end of his strength. He was covered in blood and had almost no power to fight back! The Blue Silver Grass was broken, and the Clear Sky Hammer wailed!

Xiao Wu looked at her lover who was scarred and on the verge of death while trying to protect her, and looked at the strong men from the Spirit Hall who were approaching her step by step with cold eyes. A resolute light flashed in her beautiful eyes!

In order to protect Tang San, she resolutely chose the most tragic and the only way to save her lover – sacrifice!

The light curtain clearly showed the scene with a very impactful lens language:

Xiao Wu’s figure turned into a sky full of red light, like a burning phoenix, dragging a brilliant tail flame, and rushed towards Tang San without hesitation!

Her soul was burning! Her life was burning! Her cultivation accumulated over 100,000 years was poured out without reservation at this moment!

The background music reaches its climax at this moment, rendering the ultimate tragic and sad beauty!

“Third brother! Goodbye!” Xiao Wu’s voice was tearful, yet extremely firm, and echoed throughout the stars!

Tang San’s heart-wrenching cry rang out: “No–!! Xiao Wu! Don’t!!!”

However, at this moment when emotions reached their peak, the cold analytical subtitles suddenly appeared, like pouring a basin of ice water on a boiling heart!

[Subtitle analysis: Please pay attention to the following “outside the rules” phenomenon! ]

[1. Soul ring generation method:

It is not obtained by hunting soul beasts in the traditional way, but by the soul beast (Xiao Wu) actively sacrificing, directly generating a soul ring and giving it to the designated object (Tang San). This process completely bypasses the whole process of finding soul beasts, difficult hunting, and bearing the risk of absorbing the impact of soul ring energy! 】

Close-up:

A deep red hundred thousand year soul ring that was extremely bright, far brighter than all of Tang San’s previous soul rings, even brighter than the ninth soul ring of a Titled Douluo. It appeared on Tang San’s body out of thin air with almost a whoosh!

Perfect fit, no exclusion!

[2. Soul Ring Age and Absorption Level:

One hundred thousand years! When this soul ring was given to Tang San, he was only a level 60 soul emperor! The theoretical limit of what he can bear (according to the master’s theory) is about 20,000 years for the sixth soul ring!

The age of this soul ring is not only far beyond the Soul Emperor limit, but even far beyond the theoretical limit of Titled Douluo absorbing the seventh and eighth soul rings (usually 50,000 to 80,000 years)! It is a serious, complete, and outrageous excess! 】

【3. Soul ring absorption process:

It was almost completed instantly! Tang San did not experience the huge energy shock, mental tearing, and the risk of exploding and dying due to exceeding the limit that should be experienced when absorbing a high-year spirit ring! This is in stark contrast to the absorption rules and risk descriptions recognized by the spirit master world! There was only sadness throughout the process, no pain! 】

【4. Extra gift: Buy one get one free:

In addition to this heaven-defying 100,000-year spirit ring, Xiao Wu’s sacrifice also came with a “free” piece of excellent quality, perfectly suited to Tang San, and also a 100,000-year-level right arm spirit bone – the Soft Bone Rabbit right arm bone! 】

Close-up of the picture: a bright red light flickers, and a delicate soul bone instantly merges into Tang San’s right arm. The process is incredibly smooth, as if it was tailor-made!

Comprehensive judgment:

Xiao Wu’s sacrifice not only gave Tang San strength and spirit bones, but also a naked, blatant, and BUG-level violation of the spirit ring absorption rules of “Douluo World”!

The process is so convenient, the effect is so amazing, and the risk is zero. It is undoubtedly the biggest cheating behavior in the plot of “Douluo World”! No doubt!

The strength of this “plug-in” far exceeds the previous soul ring absorption limit, and can be called a “fighter among plug-ins”, directly sending the protagonist on the fast track to high-speed strengthening! 】

Wow——!!!

When this video, which had been artistically processed and then ruthlessly dissected, along with its cold and merciless analytical subtitles, was played, the entire universe was completely blown up!

Discussions, exclamations, ridicule, and questioning merged into a torrent of information, sweeping across every corner!

If the previous spirit ring limit could be barely explained and compensated by “extraordinary talent”, “fortunate encounter”, “theoretical deviation” or “protagonist’s halo”.

This time, the “rule-destroying power” displayed by Xiao Wu’s sacrifice simply revealed the underpants of the Douluo World, telling everyone nakedly:

The so-called rules, the so-called limits, the so-called risks, in the face of “plot needs”, “love first” and “the halo of the protagonist”, are as fragile as paper!

Worthless! It can even be used so “conveniently and efficiently”!

…

[Douluo World: God Realm]

“puff–!!!”

Tang San could no longer suppress the surging blood and the boundless shame and humiliation, and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of golden divine blood!

The golden blood spilled on the floor of the temple, making a hissing sound, but it seemed to be burning his soul!

His body was shaking violently and he could barely stand. His handsome face was as pale as paper and his eyes were filled with endless pain, shame, confusion, and a kind of…complete collapse after the collapse of faith!

Cheats?!

A fighter jet in a plug-in? !

The most tragic and unforgettable poem he and Xiao Wu wrote with their lives and love was so coldly and cruelly defined as a “cheat”? !

One of the foundations of his power that he relied on to become a god, that he was proud of, and that he had used to motivate himself countless times, was actually a “trampling” of the rules?! A mockery of the soul master system?!

No! He won’t accept it! He will never accept it!

But… the picture on the screen, the clear contrast, the cold analysis, is so clear, so… irrefutable!

Instant generation! Ignore limits! No risk! Comes with soul bone!

All of this runs counter to the spirit ring absorption rules he knew, the theory taught to him by his teacher Yu Xiaogang, and the common sense passed down through the ages in the spirit master world!

Formed a huge and ironic black hole!

“Why…why is this happening…”

Tang San collapsed on the throne in despair, and the Seagod Trident fell to the cold ground with a clang, making a harsh sound.

He stared blankly at the light screen, then looked at Xiao Wu, who was already in tears and trembling beside him. For the first time, his mind was shaken violently and cracked clearly!

He always believed that he could get to where he is today and become the God King because of his talent, unyielding efforts, the selfless help of his partners and his indomitable will.

But now, this mysterious and cruel light curtain ruthlessly told him that the most critical and important step on his road to success was to take advantage of the biggest “loophole” in the rules, a “hack” that could be called a “fighter jet” level? !

How could he cope with this? How could he face the gazes of the world? How could he face his former pride and persistence? He even began to doubt that if it weren’t for Xiao Wu’s “external cheating” sacrifice, would he, Tang San, really be able to get to where he is today?

Xiao Wu burst into tears and her delicate body trembled constantly.

She didn’t care what others said about her being a soul beast or a “cheat”, but she couldn’t stand the fact that her pure and desperate love for her third brother was defined and tainted in this way!

When she sacrificed herself, the only thought in her mind was to save her third brother, and there was only a love that was hot enough to burn everything. She never thought about any rules, any limits, or any cheats!

Why…why would this love be interpreted as something so cold?

Dai Mubai, Oscar and others were also completely dumbfounded!

They looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu who collapsed in pain, then looked at the icy cold yet seemingly irrefutable evidence on the light curtain, and felt a chill running from the soles of their feet straight up to the top of their heads!

My mind goes blank!

It’s over! It’s completely over! The face of Douluo World, the glory of Shrek, at this moment, was stripped clean by this light curtain and thrown into the heavens and myriad worlds!

Even the last fig leaf – the touching sacrifice of love – was defined as a “cheat”!

The God of Destruction opened his mouth and wanted to say something to maintain the dignity of the God Realm, but he found that all words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

The facts were before him, the logic was clear, the evidence was irrefutable, he had no way of refutation and could only direct his endless anger and murderous intent towards that damned, mysterious light curtain!

He swore to find out the source of the light curtain and destroy it completely!

The eyes of the Goddess of Life and the God of Kindness were filled with sorrow and helplessness. They looked at the suffering Tang San and Xiao Wu with sympathy in their hearts, but deep in their hearts, they could not completely deny the analysis of the light curtain… The rules seemed to have been broken in an extreme way.

The smile on the face of the Evil God froze. He stroked his chin and muttered to himself:

“Fuck… this cheat… is a bit too outrageous… giving away full-level equipment directly with top-level inlaid gems? Even this evil god can’t stand it… this author… ahem, these rules… are too biased towards the protagonist, right?”
