279 The Dark World and Ultimate DarknessA few years ago, when he had just taken the Star Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Spicy Vegetables, Lu Buliang had entered the abyss of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
At that time, he was only a Soul Master at level 30. His mental and physical strength were not enough to resist the energy squeeze from the two Dragon Kings under the abyss.
His current physical strength can be said to be unmatched in the entire continent. After successfully absorbing the eighth soul ring, his mental level has also become extremely powerful due to the energy transformation of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
Lu Buliang thought, with the current conditions, he should be able to withstand the oppression of the two dragon kings of ice and fire in the abyss, right?
"No. After all, they are comparable to the existence of the first-level gods. After the death of the dragon king, he should also have a spirit left like a god."
Thinking back to the battle on the Hell Road, when the King of Slaughter swung the Shura Demon Sword to wipe out everything, Lu Buliang couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. At that time, only a part of the Shura power was enough to put him in such a desperate situation. If he reached the abyss of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, he would have to face the threat of the two dragon kings' souls at the same time.
"That's right. The Dragon King's spirit belongs to the soul, and the damage is mainly mental. If the mental level is strong enough, it should be able to ensure your safety."
Lu Buliang thought that the million-year-old soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was imprisoned in the dark world. Before entering the abyss of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, he might as well absorb the soul bone of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm first.
With the mental power strengthened by the energy of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, and the amplification of the spiritual attribute of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm Soul Bone, the spiritual level will surely reach a realm that no one can reach.
Coming back to his senses from his contemplation, what caught Lu Buliang's eyes were Ye Lingling's clear eyes.
"Lingling? Did you absorb the soul ring successfully?" asked Lu Buliang.
Ye Lingling nodded, "Just like you said, the spirit ring of the Azure Ivy has greatly enhanced the durability of the spirit power. Now every time I perform a treatment, the spirit power consumption is only half of what it was before. Also, my spirit power is now level 63."
At this point, Ye Lingling asked curiously, "What were you thinking about just now? You were so absorbed in it that you didn't even notice I was standing in front of you."
Lu Buliang smiled, "I was just thinking about how to improve your soul power faster."
Ye Lingling said with some shame: "Thank you. But I am already satisfied. Ah Liang, because of the immortal pills and soul bones you gave me, I was able to break through to the Soul Emperor realm at the age of twenty like you. You gave me so much, but I didn't help you at all."
"Lingling, if you really want to help me, then follow the training arrangements I gave you." Lu Buliang took Ye Lingling's hand and gently pulled her into his arms. "You must become stronger before you can help me."
Ye Lingling raised her head and looked deeply into Lu Buliang's eyes and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Become a citizen of darkness." Lu Buliang lowered his head and looked back at Ye Lingling's gaze, "Only if you fall into darkness can you truly help me."
"Falling into darkness?" Ye Lingling looked confused, "I don't understand what this means."
Lu Buliang did not explain, but asked directly: "Are you willing to accompany me to the dark world? A world that belongs to me."
When hearing the word "dark world", the first thought that came to Ye Lingling's mind was naturally an extremely insidious and evil place. Who would be willing to stay in a dark place all the time?
Before, Ye Lingling fell into a low point due to various confusions. Her taciturn personality meant that no one could truly understand her. She was only accompanied by loneliness, desolation, and a dark feeling.
Therefore, Ye Lingling was used to darkness, but she hated it. She didn't know what kind of place the dark world that Lu Buliang was talking about was. But when she heard the word darkness, she buried her head in Lu Buliang's arms in depression.
Feeling the warmth in her arms, Ye Lingling suddenly smiled as she leaned on Lu Buliang's shoulder. She didn't know whether the dark world would bring her back to her previous state of loneliness and desolation, but she knew that no matter good or bad, she should follow Lu Buliang without hesitation.
Ye Lingling raised her head and looked at Lu Buliang, "I am willing to go."
"Then let's go. The dark world is not as scary as you think. There, all your negative emotions will become your strength. Lingling, darkness is actually not that scary. It means we have to defeat our own inner demons. Only by accepting the darkness in our hearts can we gain greater strength."
As he spoke, Lu Buliang activated the space attribute, and the two people hugging each other disappeared in the sunset forest and returned to the dark world full of infinite vitality.
The Dark World exists in the Dark Universe, which is a space-time completely separated from the Douluo Universe. As long as you don't use the Killing God Realm and the Evil God Realm in it, you don't have to worry about being discovered by the Shura God and the Evil God.
After returning to the dark world, Lu Buliang and Ye Lingling appeared in a lush forest.
Fresh air, clear sky, and the breeze gently brushing across her face. Ye Lingling smelled the fragrance of flowers in the wind.
Many flowers, plants and trees are swaying in the wind on the land made of dark energy, and the sounds of animals can be heard.
Ye Lingling looked around in disbelief, and what came into view was a large forest full of greenery.
Seeing a squirrel with a broken leg lying under a tree, covered in blood, Ye Lingling immediately ran over and released the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Spirit. The refreshing fragrance of the flower made the vitality of the plants more vigorous wherever it went.
Amidst the fragrance of flowers and blue-purple light, the squirrel also regrew its severed right leg and recovered its health.
Watching the squirrel climbing up the tree vigorously, a smile appeared on Ye Lingling's face. Her eyes swept across the forest in front of her, and her heart was still so shocked. She originally thought that the dark world was all black and an insecure place.
But just when she released the Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit, she found that this place was filled with an incomparably powerful breath of life. This was actually a new world where life was rapidly multiplying. Except for the mountains and rivers that were completely made up of black, other places were almost the same as the Douluo Continent.
"Aliang. Here." Ye Lingling looked at Lu Buliang in disbelief. "Is this the dark world you mentioned?"
Lu Buliang nodded and told Ye Lingling everything about the dark world.
The lush forest before our eyes was born from the shadows, darkness and breath of life of the Great Star Forest. Whether it is the area or the terrain structure, everything was born based on the prototype of the Great Star Forest.
It can be said that this forest is the Great Star Forest of the dark world, also known as the Dark Star Forest.
The Dark Star Forest does not have as many species and numbers of soul beasts as the Star Forest.
However, the shadows of the corpses of the soul beasts that were once sealed have all moved to live in the Dark Star Forest.
Some new species that were born entirely from the energy of the dark world are also multiplying in this forest. They will continue to evolve in an environment where the fittest survive, and eventually become dark creatures that can practice like soul beasts.
The dark world has landforms like the Great Star Forest, all thanks to the efforts of the Ghost Corps.
The six thousand ghost soldiers lurking in the Star Dou Forest of Douluo Continent are distributed in every corner of the forest. They are connected to each other through ultra-long-distance mental detection to form a mental network.
While monitoring the entire Star Dou Great Forest, the Ghost Soldiers are also recording the shadows of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and allowing the dark world to use this as a prototype to create the same forest appearance.
This can speed up the development of the dark world's landforms, and the first dark world of the dark universe is a new world born based on the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, not only the ghost soldiers who are carrying out missions in the Star Dou Great Forest, but also the tens of thousands of ghost soldiers who are searching for the Sun Moon Continent and the Far North on the sea, are also recording the shadows of wherever they go in the process of carrying out their missions, and allowing the dark world to use these shadows as references to create the same landforms and environment, constantly enriching the dark world's ecosystem.
In fact, the ultimate darkness has already been launched silently. When the dark world gives birth to all the landforms and ecological environments on the Douluo Continent, the entire Douluo Star will be shrouded in the ultimate darkness as if it were swallowed by the shadow of a planet.
By then, the ultimate darkness will take away the shadows of all dead life forms on Douluo Star, and make their souls disappear from the universe governed by the Douluo God Realm.
Of course, doing so would definitely be discovered by the law enforcement gods of the Douluo God Realm. In order to avoid being punitiveed by the Douluo God Realm, Lu Buliang must ensure that he has sufficient strength and a powerful backup team before he dares to truly launch the ultimate darkness.
The so-called powerful support team refers to subordinates who are comparable to gods in the dark world, such as Dark Ayin and Dark Demon Evil God Tiger who are in charge of life and death, as well as important characters such as Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Qian Renxue.
In order to enhance the power of the dark world, Lu Buliang will have to expand his support team in the future. The ten ferocious beasts, the nine dragon kings, and the old, weak, sick and disabled gods in the Douluo Universe who are of great use to the dark world may all use various means to turn them into dark life forms in the future, making them gods in charge of a certain field in the dark world like Dark A Yin and Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Qian Daoliu, Poseidon and Tang Chen, these three peerless Douluo, may become the sky god, ocean god and earth god of the dark world respectively in the future.

Adding gods of various positions to the dark world is what Lu Buliang will do in the future. Bringing Ye Lingling into the dark world to practice is also for this purpose.
In addition, the ultimate darkness does not devour a planet, but plunders the souls of all the dead on that planet and lets these souls live in the dark world in their original form, or cleanses their souls and regenerates them in a brand new form.
No matter what kind of processing they undergo, these souls will become life in the dark world and accelerate the development of the life cycle of the entire dark universe, so that the power of faith of the dark universe can be collected in the shortest time.
Naturally, the dark universe also has its own world. However, such a world must go through centuries of changes such as the Cambrian, Carboniferous, Permian, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, it will finally be possible to enter the civilized era and form a new human world system.
As long as the dark universe continues to develop and expand, the power of the Dark Creator God will be infinitely enhanced.
After telling Ye Lingling the secrets of the dark world, Lu Buliang took her to practice in a place in the Dark Star Forest where the breath of life was the strongest.
There, the huge breath of life can speed up the cultivation of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul, and the dark energy will also subtly transform Ye Lingling, turning her into a dark life form like Zhu Zhuqing and becoming a citizen of darkness.
"————"
Dark Star Forest, core area.
This is a forest that was created based on the prototype of the Star Forest in Douluo Continent. Everything is exactly the same except for the lack of the corresponding number of soul beasts.
In the core area of the Dark Star Forest, there is also a Lake of Life.
Lu Buliang brought Ye Lingling to the shore of the Lake of Life. This is the place with the strongest breath of life and an excellent place for dark life forms to practice.
A woman was sitting cross-legged in the center of the Lake of Life, practicing with the help of huge life force and dark energy.
Sensing someone approaching the lake, the woman immediately ended her meditation, stood up from the water in the center of the lake, and looked far in the direction of the person coming.
Ye Lingling followed behind Lu Buliang. When she found that the woman in the center of the Lake of Life was looking at her, her first reaction was nervousness, and then a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
"Zhuqing, come here." Lu Buliang shouted to the figure in the center of the lake.
Hearing this name, Ye Lingling's hesitant expression turned into an unconcealed surprise. She never thought that she would run into an acquaintance from Douluo Continent in this dark world?
When she first saw Zhu Zhuqing, whose clothing style had changed drastically and had strange magic patterns engraved on her belly, Ye Lingling thought she had recognized the wrong person. It was not until Lu Buliang called her name that Ye Lingling finally confirmed that the beautiful woman who looked like a ghost girl was actually Zhu Zhuqing from Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing, who stood in the center of the Lake of Life, had cat ears and a tail, and her light yellow eyes could easily give people a soul-stirring feeling. Fortunately, she still retained her previous taciturnity and cold eyes, which allowed people who looked at her to slightly suppress the bone-chilling look in her eyes.
However, what does it mean that such a beautiful woman has arrived in the dark world before me?
Recalling the scene in the elite competition where Lü Buliang and Zhu Zhuqing were forced to perform the martial soul fusion technique, Ye Lingling's heart suddenly became depressed. Could it be that I am not only Dugu Yan's sister, but also Zhu Zhuqing's sister?
Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed, and the whole person disappeared in the center of the lake, appearing in front of Lü Buliang and Ye Lingling.
Since falling into darkness two years ago and taking the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone Pill given by Lu Buliang, Zhu Zhuqing's potential has been greatly improved.
During her training in the dark world, due to the elixir and the transformation of the dark world, her Nether Spirit Cat acquired the dual attributes of darkness and evil, evolving into a top-level human-shaped cat spirit, Nether Catwoman.
After two years of practice, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power has reached level 67. Although her strength is only at the Soul Emperor level, as one of the Netherworld sisters beside the Lord of Darkness, her status in the dark world is very high, so she is qualified to practice in a good place like the Lake of Life.
Now, Zhu Zhuqing's main task is to guide important characters like Ye Lingling who have just entered the dark world in their cultivation.
"Lingling, don't you want to help me? Then stay in the dark world." Lu Buliang patted Ye Lingling's shoulder and said, "Practice under Zhuqing's guidance. There will always be a day when you can help me. When you want to return to the family, I will send you back."
"Okay." After answering, Ye Lingling glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's position. She did not ask what the relationship between Lu Buliang and Zhu Zhuqing was. She just had some disappointment in her eyes and was in an even more depressed mood.
But for some reason, whenever these negative emotions arose in her heart, Ye Lingling always felt that these bad emotions were swallowed up and disappeared in an instant. Instead, her body felt saturated, as if it was full of strength.
Could it be that this dark world can transform the negative emotions generated in the heart into its own energy?
Ye Lingling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her depressed mood instantly became brighter. She felt that she was not a narrow-minded person. Dugu Yan could tolerate her, so why couldn't she accept Zhu Zhuqing's joining?
"Let's go, meditate with the help of the Lake of Life, and your soul power will be greatly enhanced. I will slowly tell you what you need to pay attention to." As he spoke, Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed, and the whole person disappeared from the shore and appeared in the center of the Lake of Life.
"Then I'll go." After saying that, Ye Lingling turned and walked towards the center of the Lake of Life, walking on the lake surface and going straight towards Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly to Lu Buliang, indicating that she would guide Ye Lingling well and help her adapt to the environment of the dark world as soon as possible.
