Chapter 276: The Pinnacle of Soul Masters!
As Zhu Zhuqing's ninth soul ring fully formed, it symbolized her official ascension to Titled Douluo.
She had shattered the centuries old record of the Zhu Clan, becoming the first ever member of her family to break into the Titled Douluo realm.
At this moment, she was still immersed in the profound enlightenment brought by the formation of her Spiritual Soul Core.
However, her body's instincts and the other two Soul Cores had already begun absorbing energy from the environment to further strengthen themselves.
A violent vortex formed around her, devouring the surrounding energy at an insane rate.
Her ninth soul ring, freshly formed, underwent a rapid transformation
First, it was a pale white, then yellow, deepened to purple, turned black, and finally…
It turned red!
Within just a few breaths, her ninth soul ring had become a full fledged 100,000 year soul ring.
As she regained awareness, she quickly assessed her condition.
Realizing this was a rare opportunity, Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate.
Her three Soul Cores were still unstable due to the recent breakthrough.
Her body was in an energy starved state, making this the perfect moment to push herself even further.
Since her other soul rings were still relatively low in age, she decided why not upgrade them all?
As Ye Cheng's disciple, she had already undergone the Soul Ring Shattering & Reconstruction process under her master's guidance.
However, due to time constraints, her soul rings hadn't reached their full potential yet, despite the support of the Soul Tower.
But now, she could use this surge in power to upgrade every single soul ring!
With this thought
Zhu Zhuqing activated all three Soul Cores simultaneously!
One refined soul power,
One strengthened her physical body,
One harmonized both with her spiritual will.
The combined effort created a perfect balance, allowing her to fully absorb the massive influx of energy.
Her remaining eight soul rings started evolving
Time passed.
By the time she finally ended her cultivation and opened her eyes,
She saw nine crimson soul rings encircling her!
Every single one of them had become a 100,000 year soul ring!
Not only that, but her soul power had skyrocketed to Level 99, reaching the Extreme Douluo realm!
Even Zhu Zhuqing herself was stunned by her drastic power leap.
She had initially thought that forming the third Soul Core would grant her minor improvements perhaps a level or two at most.
After all, advancing in the Titled Douluo realm was extremely difficult.
Yet, the three Soul Cores working in unison had exceeded all expectations, allowing her to leap nine entire levels in one go!
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had truly become a pinnacle level powerhouse!
In the current world, where only two gods existed,
An Extreme Douluo like Zhu Zhuqing was already a force to be reckoned with.
For any ordinary soul master, she was no different from a deity.
And compared to other Extreme Douluos, Zhu Zhuqing was on another level entirely.
Her "equipment" was simply too luxurious
Top tier soul bones,
Top tier soul rings,
Top tier martial soul,
Everything she had was unparalleled.
Even veteran powerhouses like Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen couldn't compete with her.
After all, how could they compare to someone who had a "cheat code level" master?
At this point, Zhu Zhuqing just like Ye Cheng in the past
Might even be able to challenge gods and win!
Of course, reaching Level 99 didn't mean she could immediately become a god.
Breaking through to godhood was a completely different transformation a true evolution from mortal to divine.
Without an inherited God Position, ascending to godhood required deep comprehension of the laws of the world.
Reaching Level 100 was not just about soul power accumulation.
It required something beyond raw strength a fundamental shift in existence itself.
Otherwise, if becoming a god was so easy, Ye Cheng would have already mass produced gods.
Why else would he have waited so long to become one himself?
"I never imagined that forming my third Soul Core would bring such massive growth!"
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, feeling the unparalleled power coursing through her body.
She had thought that reaching Level 99 would take her years.
Instead, she had achieved it in mere moments.
In the past, Level 99 was considered the peak of humanity.
But now, with the emergence of gods, its status had diminished slightly.
Yet, in the current reality, it still represented absolute supremacy.
With only two known gods in existence, Extreme Douluo remained the pinnacle of power.
Even though future videos had revealed a time when Title Douluos became common, that reality had not yet arrived.
For now
Extreme Douluos still reigned supreme.
And Zhu Zhuqing was now one of the strongest among them.
As she reflected on her newfound strength, another thought entered her mind.
With this level of power, could she finally act on the idea she had considered earlier?
Before today, she had hesitated.
She had assumed that only a god could do what she wanted to do.
But now
She realized she had been thinking too small.
A mere empire like Star Luo did it really require a god's intervention?
With her current strength, she alone was enough to crush it completely!
Just like her teacher Ye Cheng,
The moment he had taken her as a disciple, the Star Luo Empire didn't even dare breathe.
They had even sent envoys to plead for peace, offering to break her engagement and free her from her past obligations.
But now, Zhu Zhuqing had surpassed the point where she needed anyone's protection.
She had grown into a force of her own
A force capable of overthrowing an entire empire single handedly.
As she grasped this truth, a fierce determination ignited within her heart.
Extreme Douluo were said to dominate an era.
And right now
This era belonged to her.
