Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 271: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Gods had never seen a true life-bound soul ring before, as this phenomenon was simply too extraordinary. Normally, only soul masters with half or more of their bloodline originating from special soul beasts could obtain such a thing under specific circumstances.

But truthfully speaking, human bloodlines were not particularly advantageous when compared to those of soul beasts. In most cases, humans and soul beasts couldn't produce offspring together. Only in rare cases could a soul beast impregnate a human or vice versa, and even then, the resulting offspring were, 99% of the time, aberrations.

Infamous beings like the Wolftaken were prime examples of such aberrations. They were neither human nor soul beasts, but instead outcasts rejected by both groups.

However, if such aberrations continued to reproduce with humans, over generations, as the bloodline became diluted, soul masters possessing martial souls tied to their ancestral lineage would occasionally appear.

As a figure from ancient times, the Angel God was well aware that many beast-based martial souls in the Douluo Continent had such origins. Yet, for the sake of unity, this knowledge was not openly discussed.

During her era, aside from a few stubborn aberrations or those close to soul beasts, others who were human-like and willing to live among humans were classified by the Angel God as sub-species of humanity. Over generations of reproduction, they were eventually assimilated into humanity and became fully human.

However, human soul masters with soul beast bloodlines no longer meet the requirements to form a life-bound soul ring.

Even throughout the Angel God's extensive experience, soul masters with half-soul beast bloodlines were exceedingly rare.

Only the first generation of soul masters born from the union of a 100,000-year soul beast in human form and a human could, under the right external conditions, use the soul beast bloodline within them to form a life-bound soul ring. But this required the soul beast bloodline to not only be noble but also extraordinarily unique.

In the Angel God's eyes, such individuals could not exist naturally unless created through deliberate, extraordinary means.

The life-bound soul rings condensed by 100,000-year soul beasts after taking human form were not true life-bound soul rings in the strictest sense. Instead, they were a manifestation derived from their original essence before reincarnation. While the power came from themselves and was best suited to their martial souls, there were still subtle differences.

And how did the Angel God know all this?

She had encountered more than one soul beast in human form undergoing reincarnation. Driven by curiosity, she even went so far as to attack a soul beast on the cusp of its 100,000-year breakthrough, forcing it to take human form prematurely so she could observe its cultivation process. The Douluo Hall housed a soul master who had reincarnated from a 100,000-year soul beast and reached the rank of Titled Douluo after starting over.

With such examples, the Angel God understood these principles.

Because the conditions were so restrictive, the Angel God had only theorized the existence of life-bound soul rings. Although there were indeed some Titled Douluo in the Douluo Palace who had seen soul masters with life-bound soul rings, this was the Angel God's first time witnessing one firsthand.

Through observing Chen Ming's process of condensing a life-bound soul ring, the Angel God finally grasped the mystery behind it. Despite her current divine beast form already being significantly weakened, she still directed her internal power to condense a white life-bound soul ring, which she gradually elevated to red.

Her life-bound soul ring served no practical purpose; it was created solely to study the unique properties of life-bound soul rings and explore whether they could be universally applied. She hoped to enable all soul masters to condense a life-bound soul ring as their first soul ring, thereby enhancing the potential of the entire soul master community.

Eventually, when her research was complete, the Angel God planned to shatter the soul ring and reabsorb its energy into her body.

Atop the Golden Ancient Tree, Chen Ming sat cross-legged, sensing and refining his power. Meanwhile, the Angel God, in her divine beast form, lay on the ground with her three eyes closed, studying the peculiarities of the life-bound soul ring. After an entire day, Chen Ming finally opened his eyes, unable to hide the excitement shining within them.

Noticing his movements, the Angel God opened her eyes, licked her paw, and spoke to Chen Ming with curiosity.

"Show me what abilities your second martial soul has. The combined power of the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon, even if achieved through opportunistic methods, should produce some extraordinary results, no?"

"Come, spar with me. Of course, I'll only use one percent of my power."

"Right here, Angel God? Are you sure this is fine?" Chen Ming stretched his body, eager yet cautious.

"Absolutely. The Golden Ancient Tree's durability rivals that of a divine artifact. Even if I used the Angelic Sacred Sword, it would take effort to damage it. Fighting atop the Golden Ancient Tree poses no risk," the Angel God, now a Three-Eyed Golden Lion, replied. Flames coiled around her limbs as she restrained her aura, sealing her power to a level just below that of a Super Douluo. Her three eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Come, show me what you've got!"

"In that case, I won't hold back!" Chen Ming laughed, and the first soul ring of his second martial soul lit up.

"First soul skill: Elemental Domain!"

The Silver Dragon's innate talent was elemental manipulation, so Chen Ming engraved the Elemental Domain as a soul skill within his ring. This allowed the domain to synergize with his martial soul, further enhancing it and unleashing its latent potential.

Elements converged, forming waves that surged like an ocean.

Chen Ming excelled in manipulating poison and spiritual energy, followed by the elements of life, ice, and fire. Since the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's attributes were light and fire, Chen Ming naturally chose to showcase his mastery over ice.

"Frozen Divine Dragon Ascension!"

The powers of ice and water enveloped the domain, transforming it into a frozen battlefield. Under Chen Ming's control, frost condensed out of thin air, forming a lifelike ice dragon that charged toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The extreme cold blanketed the Golden Ancient Tree's canopy in thick frost. The roaring ice dragon, far from being a mere spectacle, contained traces of the Ice Dragon King's divine essence (replicated) and power, making it a devastating weapon.

Seeing this, the Angel God, controlling the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body, smiled with excitement.

"Excellent! Such outstanding elemental control. Let me see how far you can push it!"

The divine beast's body leaped toward the ice dragon, its front claws blazing with light and fire. Infused with her immense will, the unleashed power caused the very fabric of the surrounding world to tremble.

Chen Ming, having studied the Angel God's swordsmanship, recognized that this claw strike was a variation of one of her divine sword techniques. However, he had no idea how he could block it.

This wasn't just a combat technique—it was a divine skill, wielded by the Angel God herself. Even without the Angelic Sacred Sword, the strike's power was undiminished.

The ice dragon's colossal head, several times the size of the divine beast's body, seemed insignificant in comparison. Under the divine beast's claws, the massive ice dragon melted like a snowman in the sun. Within a single breath, more than half of the ice dragon had evaporated, and the remaining fragments continued to disintegrate.

Witnessing this, Chen Ming clasped his hands together and called out softly.

"Hollow Technique: Purple!"
