Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 223

Dugu Yan went out to persuade Xue Xing to give up, and Xue Xing finally gave up. It seemed that this Poison Douluo was unwilling to help her no matter what.

Xue Xing smiled sadly. He had outlived Xue Qinghe and thought he could succeed Xue Beng in the future. But now, there was no certainty that the Heavenly Dou Empire would exist in the future, so how could he talk about succeeding Xue Beng?

"My lord, you've had a long journey. Let me help you." A guard beside her said, offering his assistance.

Xue Xing took her leave from Dugu Yan, turned her back, and her eyes turned extremely cold.

With a major battle imminent, it's not something Dugu Bo can simply choose not to participate in. Besides, what if Dugu Bo turns against the Spirit Hall and helps them? That would make them a constant threat within the Heaven Dou organization.

Xue Xing was fully aware of the relationship between Dugu Bo and Shen An.

'We need to find an opportunity to send a large army to encircle and annihilate Dugu Bo, and we must do it by surprise,' Xue Xing muttered to himself. However, not understanding the power levels of a Title Douluo, he would never know what kind of opponent he would face.

Especially for a special individual like Dugu Bo, he might be so-so when fighting against experts of the same level, but if he were to fight someone weaker than himself, it would be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Meanwhile, on Poseidon Island, Tang Xiao, in his capacity as sect leader, escorted Yu Xiaogang to Poseidon Island.

Tang Xiao's gaze was deep. The Clear Sky Sect was now bound to the two great empires of Tian Dou Xing Luo, but the Martial Soul Empire was too strong. The only way to break the deadlock was Seagod Island.

"I hope this trip goes smoothly," Tang Xiao murmured.

Yu Xiaogang forced a smile onto his stiff face: "With me here, it's all taken care of, Your Majesty Xiaotian."

Tang Xiao glanced at him silently. This person was so ordinary, yet so confident.

In order to arrive quickly, Tang Xiao refused the other guards to accompany him; with him there, it would be the best guarantee.

Therefore, only the two of them landed on the island at this moment.

Inside the Sea God's Temple, the Sea God's divine sense and the Asura's divine sense converged. He was very dissatisfied that there had been no news from the two Douluo he had sent out for so long.

Fortunately, the God of Destruction in the divine realm has left his palace, which means that his true form is trying to sabotage things.

It might not work for an ordinary deity, but since he is the enforcer of the divine realm, with a little patience, he can eventually manage to get things done, though it will take a considerable amount of time.

The Sea God beside him remained calm, but inwardly he was anxious. How could he reshape Tang San's soul and nurture him if the Asura's divine sense wouldn't leave?

"Someone has arrived on the island, hmm, a rather powerful ant." The Sea God suddenly spoke, having absolute control over this island.

Asura's divine sense seemed not to hear him. The only people in Douluo Continent who could be of concern to him were Tang San and Shen An, who had ruined his plans. Of course, the successor of the Angel God was another matter.

At that moment, at the foot of Poseidon Mountain, Poseidon met Tang Xiao.

Looking at Poseidon's face, which had remained unchanged for decades, Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of bewilderment. Although titled Douluo have long lifespans, their appearances still age to some extent.

Poseidon, on the other hand, seemed to have escaped the troubles of mortals and remained eternally young.

“Tang Xiao, I know you. Why have you come?” A look of nostalgia appeared on Poseidon’s face as she thought of that tall and imposing man.

"Senior Poseidon, I have come to ask you for help!" Tang Xiao said respectfully.

"Help?"

"Yes, Senior Poseidon originally lived overseas, so he may not know that the situation on the mainland is complicated now."

"The Spirit Hall has declared the establishment of a nation, intending to destroy the Heaven Dou Star Luo and unify the continent. The Clear Sky Sect will inevitably be drawn into this. Therefore, I hope that Senior Poseidon can lend a helping hand for the sake of the people of the continent!"

Tang Xiao's voice was deep and his words were sincere.

Poseidon almost laughed. What did the common people of the continent have to do with her? She only needed to take care of her own little plot of land.

Moreover, going to the mainland and making enemies of the Spirit Hall? She must be out of her mind.

She is invincible at sea, not on land!

She was willing to come see Tang Xiao in person because of Tang Chen, but there was no need for her to go to such lengths for him.

Seeing that Poseidon didn't seem inclined to agree, Yu Xiaogang became anxious and quickly said, "Senior Poseidon, fighting against the Spirit Empire is a great benefit to both of us."

“I have been to Seagod Island before and know that the Spirit Empire and Seagod Island have a grudge. Do you think that once the Spirit Empire unifies the continent, it will take the opportunity to attack Seagod Island as well?”

"Therefore, we are natural allies. We beg Senior Poseidon to lend a helping hand. Helping us is helping yourself."

Tang Xiao felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing these words. Wasn't this what Yu Xiaogang had said when he approached him, binding the two parties together?

Unexpectedly, Poseidon suddenly laughed and said, "Even if the continent is unified, it still has nothing to do with my Seagod Island..."

As she was speaking, Poseidon suddenly stopped, saying that the Sea God had asked her to agree to their demands and send out all of Sea God Island's top combat forces.

“Alright, I agree,” Poseidon said.

Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang looked at each other, then their faces lit up with joy. They had thought that this peerless expert would refuse them, but who would have thought that things would turn out so well and they would succeed!

"However, this matter is of great importance. Please stay here for now, and I will make some arrangements."

Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang then settled down temporarily under the guidance of the Sea Soul Master.

Soon, Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang settled into a house.

"Don't you think His Majesty Poseidon is a bit strange? He initially refused, but then suddenly agreed."

Tang Xiao asked in confusion.

"Haha, Sect Leader Tang is overthinking it. He just thought my words made a lot of sense, after all, Seagod Island and the Spirit Hall are not on good terms." Yu Xiaogang laughed loudly.

Tang Xiao fell silent again, his confidence now restless and unfulfilled.

At this moment, both the Sea God's divine sense and the Asura's divine sense had gloomy expressions in the Sea God's Temple.

The Spirit Hall has transformed itself into a nation, aiming to unify the continent?!

This is absolutely not allowed!

A significant portion of the divine power of deities comes from the power of faith.

The path to godhood for the Sea God and the Angel God is just like this: the first Angel God eliminated evil soul masters, established the Spirit Hall, and made contributions to the continent, thus becoming a god.

It took the Sea God thousands of years to gather the faith of the Sea Soul Masters before he could attain the position of Sea God.

If Qian Renxue were to unify the continent, the massive amount of faith would help her become a god, and the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, their affairs cannot be leaked.

“I left divine power on the angel statue to restrict its successor, but this divine power inexplicably dissipated, which is why I secretly sent a wisp of divine thought down to the mortal realm.”

The sea god suddenly spoke.

Asura's expression grew even more grim: "Something's not right. There's a pattern. That Angel God definitely had a backup plan!"

“Yes, so we absolutely cannot allow the Martial Soul Empire to unify the continent, otherwise it could very well lead to unfavorable results for us,” the Sea God said coldly.

It must be said that although these two guesses were wrong, the Angel God did indeed have a wisp of remnant spirit remaining. If Qian Renxue becomes a god in the future and the God Realm learns everything, these two will indeed suffer a great calamity.

At this moment, Poseidon also arrived at the Temple of Poseidon.

“Lord Sea God, I have carried out your orders. All Sea Soul Masters above the Soul Saint level will proceed to the mainland.” Poseidon bowed respectfully.

"But may I ask why this is?" Her beautiful, hazy face showed a hint of confusion.

"The reasons behind this are complex. All you need to know is that the Martial Soul Empire is a den of iniquity, and our destruction of it is in accordance with the natural order," the Sea God said righteously.

A breeding ground for filth and corruption?

Poseidon couldn't help but think of Qian Daoliu. Even though she was originally in love with Tang Chen, she couldn't deny Qian Daoliu's brilliance and his extremely high moral character.

But upon seeing the divine will of the sea god before her, Poseidon knelt down again: "I will obey your divine decree." Then she left the hall.

"Are you capable of being the high priest? There are still descendants of the Angel God on land, who, barring unforeseen circumstances, can also exert the combat power of a demigod," the Asura God suddenly asked.

Poseidon's expression was also unpredictable; land is not the ocean, and Poseidon might not be able to defeat a thousand streams.

"It's alright. Even if we can't win, we can stall for time. I have other backup plans."

Asura nodded slightly, his gaze passing through the Sea God Temple to the King of Slaughter who was standing on the outer perimeter.

In any case, we must not allow this generation's angelic successor to gain power. If all else fails, he will release Tang Chen and have him join forces with Poseidon to deal with Qian Daoliu.

Thinking of this, Shura felt very frustrated. Why were there so many changes happening on this continent?

'Hopefully, the real body can come up with a solution soon,' the Asura God thought to himself.

At this moment, on the Douluo Continent.

Within just three months, the Martial Soul Empire conquered 48 cities belonging to two major empires, an area equivalent to a province.

After a brief period of expansion, Qian Renxue began to consolidate the empire, eliminate dissidents, and deal with corrupt elements within the empire.

The wealth accumulated over the years by the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become a solid backing for its development.

The temporary halt to expansion is merely to absorb these resources. Once Qian Renxue has fully grasped the power of her duchies, kingdoms, and cities, she will inevitably launch another great war!

At this moment, at the very center of the Starry Sky Forest, at the Lake of Life, a faint spatial ripple spread.

A golden-eyed black dragon was the first to reveal its majestic body, roaring to the sky, followed by numerous other powerful and ferocious beasts.

It's been so many years, I'm finally out!

"My lord, I've come to save you, even if it means washing the human world in blood!!"

Di Tian roared to the sky again, as if to vent the bitterness he had endured over the years.

Chapter 323 The Haotian Sect is courting death!

"Roar!"

A deafening dragon roar resounded once more.

"Roar! Roar! Roar—"

The five ferocious beasts behind Di Tian roared in succession. They had been trying to break this broken formation for so many years, and it was so frustrating that it drove them crazy.

Only one silkworm, which was seven meters long, seemed a little lost. Perhaps it could try to shout out too?

"Ow~~~"

A weak voice rang out alongside the voices of the six ferocious beasts, sounding utterly out of place.

Di Tian and the five ferocious beasts behind him fell silent, their previous rage extinguished like flames.

I feel a little embarrassed... I really want to stomp my feet on the ground.

Di Tian said in a deep voice, "Tianmeng, shut up. Xiong Jun, you stay here and mobilize the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. I'm going to the far north."

A massive, ferocious-looking, dark golden bear nodded slightly to Di Tian. Although it had always coveted Di Tian's status as the Beast God, it would naturally pay attention to the Silver Dragon King's whereabouts.

Behind Di Tian, ​​another exquisite and beautiful jade swan suddenly paused, but it did not say anything.

“Bridgetie, the safety of our Lord is related to the future fate of the Soul Beasts. I have no choice but to do this. We have lost too much time and have no choice but to send all the Soul Beasts to attack the human world and threaten them to hand over our Lord.”

"But don't worry, I will infiltrate first, and only take such action when necessary," Di Tian said in a deep voice.

"Then, Boss Di Tian, ​​I want to go to the far north with you!" Tianmeng Bingcan said, his eyes shining. His goddess was there!

Di Tian looked over in surprise. This little fat boy was so enthusiastic. Instead of trying to run away, he took the initiative to follow him.

"Alright, Tianmeng and I will go to the far north. You will stay behind in the Star Dou Great Forest to make preparations!"

Immediately, Di Tian transformed into a giant dragon tens of meters long and disappeared into the sky with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

······

"With the establishment of an empire, it is natural to determine the capital. Wuhun City is a holy land for soul masters and a place of faith, so it is not suitable to be the capital. Therefore, I chose to establish it in this city located in the most central part of the continent."

"Shen An, why don't you give him a new name?" Qian Renxue said spiritedly, gazing at the magnificent city before her.

This city was built day and night by many Soul Masters in recent days, and it is magnificent and imposing.

Looking at the city before him, Shen An couldn't help but say, "Let's call it Chang'an."

"Chang'an, Chang'an," Qian Renxue kept repeating, her eyes filled with delight, clearly liking the name very much.

"A good name. From now on, my capital will be called Chang'an!"

Just as Qian Renxue was looking forward to the future, a Soul Master suddenly rushed over; it was Salas.

"Your Majesty, more than ten Title Douluos have suddenly appeared at the front line, blocking our army's advance at Jialing Pass. If we were to attack them by force, we would suffer heavy losses."

"After investigating, Elder Gui discovered that they were all titled warriors from the Haotian Sect."

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted, and then her gaze turned cold.

"The Haotian Sect is full of selfish and cowardly people who dare to stand up and obstruct my great cause. They are simply courting death!"

Qian Renxue was very confident. With the strength of the Spirit Empire, what if the other side had ten more Title Douluos?

Her grandfather is still alive, and Shen An is also alive, so let's just do it!

"Alright, I already know about this matter. Issue the order to have them hold back."
