Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

The yellow sand, like a raging storm, pressed down from the horizon.

The sunlight struggled through the dust and sand, finally exhausted, turning into a dim, yellowish halo that hung overhead, seemingly about to fall but not quite.

The wind, carrying sand and gravel, lashed against my cheeks, like a hungry silkworm gnawing at my face.

People covered their faces with their sleeves, barely able to see the road ahead. But even in such circumstances, struggle and slaughter continued.

Deep within the sandstorm, a faint, blood-red light could be seen flashing.

This was accompanied by a clear, melodious chirping.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Azure Phoenix's Cry!"

The closer they got to the entrance and exit of the Lost Canyon, the more exiles Wu Qi and his companions encountered.

The exiles who had just been banished there did not have the bewilderment about the future on their faces; instead, they were filled with the desire to kill the trainees, seize the gold medals, and gain freedom.

Along the way, they fought their way through countless battles, and Wu Qi didn't know how many people had died at their hands.

The three of them went from feeling joy at completing their training mission to feeling lost, and now they are mostly numb.

They seemed to be nothing more than machines that only knew how to complete tasks, devoid of any emotions.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, they finally set foot in the canyon area.

Upon learning of the situation, the powerful figures from the Spirit Hall stationed above immediately sent people to greet them.

After confirming the existence of the gold medal from the three individuals, they were immediately taken out.

……

The Lost Land is more like a large-scale social experiment.

Even if Wu Qi and the other two did not experience any fluctuation in their mentality due to the oasis incident.

But the journey back was agonizing as they encountered those exiles whose faces were full of hope.

Perhaps it was the environmental factors that caused extreme psychological repression; as they personally tore apart one hopeful face after another, their psychological defenses began to show signs of collapse.

Wu Qi was in relatively better condition. Having experienced the carnage in the Killing City, his expression was simply numb.

Basking in the sun and taking a short rest will allow you to recover.

However, both of them developed serious psychological problems.

Upon entering the Lost Lands and beginning their mission, they were all full of energy, their faces radiating sunshine and hope.

But after completing the mission, they discovered that the Oasis was the biggest scam.

But they became accomplices in this scam.

Seeing those hopeful faces only made them feel more distressed.

Because they knew that even if these people reached the oasis, they would still face death.

Yet, ironically, they were made to be the villains, executing these hopeful faces.

Despair grew in their hearts, pushing them to the brink of mental collapse.

Upon receiving news of their return, the Hall of Offerings immediately dispatched the Demon-Slaying Douluo, who arrived at the temporary training camp of the three half a day later.

Wu Qi's mindset has improved considerably, and he takes the initiative to communicate with him.

Seeing the expressions on Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping's faces, the Demon-Slaying Douluo couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did you go through, and how many people did you kill?"

Without a doubt, these three completed the entire Mysterious Grand Canyon adventure.

In contrast, Hu Liena and her two companions, upon arriving at the oasis, obtained the Saka Mandala and left, completely unaware of the terrifying presence lurking in the lake.

On the return journey, with the help of two titled Douluo leading the way, they encountered almost no danger.

It can be said that Hu Liena and her two companions' training was merely a formality, already violating the original intention of setting up the training program. In the history of the Spirit Hall, there have been many geniuses who have escaped the Lost Land, but nearly 30% of the trainees, due to the special experiences during the training, ultimately failed to overcome the shadows in their hearts and completely collapsed.

After learning about the trials from Wu Qi, Demon-Slaying Douluo sighed, "You've stepped into every single pitfall in the trials that tested your mental fortitude."

"Those two brats won't be getting out of here anytime soon."

Wu Qi asked solemnly, "Is the Desert Palace a means used to reduce the population of this place?"

The Demon-Slaying Douluo originally did not intend to answer his question, but remembering that he had already completed his mission and that his mentality was not affected, he made an exception and answered the question.

"Yes and no. The opening of the desert palace was indeed done by the palace. But the purpose was not really to kill the exiles, but to hide a special treasure inside."

"I don't know what the treasure is. I only know that it is one of the ancestral precepts passed down from ancient times in the palace."

"Unfortunately, to this day, no one knows what the treasure is, or whether it will ever reappear."

Wu Qi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is it related to the past of that royal capital?"

"During my journey, I unexpectedly entered a certain area and saw murals left by our ancestors, which seemed to reveal the city's past."

"The murals have limited content; regarding the final battle of the gods, there are only some pieces of a puzzle."

Now that things have come to this, Demon-Slaying Douluo no longer needs to hide it.

The Spirit Hall was unaware of the capital's past, but it had detailed records of the final battle of the gods.

However, only the worshippers and the Pope are qualified to view this content; even elders at the title Douluo level are not allowed to.

"The capital city was indeed occupied by evil spirit masters, but that group of evil spirit masters had a different belief from the mainstream evil spirit masters on the continent. They worshipped the Rakshasa God."

"Back then, the God Ancestor of the Spirit Hall had only just broken through to level 100. In terms of strength, he was no match for the Rakshasa God, who had been famous for many years."

"In the final stages of the war, we did indeed incur divine punishment."

"But this divine punishment did not come from the God Ancestor, nor was it caused by the Rakshasa God; it came from the heavens."

"Only the successive Grand Elders know the details. I only know that the divine punishment that descended from the sky was a thunderbolt that could destroy the world."

It was precisely because of the power of that thunder that it brought about severe aftereffects.

After that, a sandstorm swept through the entire Lost Land, and it was buried by the sea of ​​sand almost overnight.

The lightning strike was said to have been caused by a weapon, which eventually landed in the capital and its whereabouts remain unknown.

The angel god entered it several times to search, but returned empty-handed.

What follows is the history of the Spirit Hall.

The Angel God was summoned and left Douluo Continent, allowing the Spirit Hall to establish itself on the continent. It has been passed down step by step by the descendants of the Qian family to this day.

Wu Qi subconsciously touched the scepter on his back.

It seems that the lightning bolt was the work of the God of Destruction, and this scepter may have fallen to Douluo Continent at that time.

However, to this day, he has not received any messages from any deity.

Even if the scepter in his hand is a divine artifact, it is no different from a broken stick until he finds the place where the gods inherit their legacy.

"What else do you want to know? I won't hide anything from you that I can tell you," asked the Demon-Slaying Douluo.

It wasn't that he was trying to curry favor with Wu Qi; rather, he wanted to use this to divert Wu Qi's attention and prevent him from having any mental issues.

Once he's recovered, he can then persuade Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping.

When both parties are the same age, the guidance they receive is often twice as effective.

Wu Qi continued, "Why would a 100,000-year-old soul beast exist in the oasis?" (End of Chapter)
