Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 218 The Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao
"At least twenty-three Title Douluos!"

Han Ruoruo and Ma Xiaotao have become somewhat numb!

If Dugu Han hadn't said it himself, they would never have believed that a force secretly formed by evil soul masters could have grown to such a scale.

It has even surpassed Shrek Academy.

After all, even Shrek Academy doesn't have so many Title Douluos in charge.

Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin, and the others subconsciously swallowed, a look of fear involuntarily appearing in their eyes.

The emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire was also startled, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He never imagined that so many titled Douluo would be hiding in the Holy Spirit Cult and their Sun Moon Empire.

Moreover, most of them are evil spirit masters, like powder kegs that will explode at the slightest touch.

"How is their strength?"

Kong Deming asked with a solemn expression.

"Very strong!"

Dugu Han said with a solemn expression, "Their leader is a level 98 Super Douluo, the vice leader is a level 97 Super Douluo, and although the eight elders are all ordinary titled Douluos below level 95, they are all evil soul masters with extremely strong combat power."

"Among those twelve elders, there are six Super Douluo of level ninety-five or above."

"Their chief priest was named..."

Dugu Han's gaze swept over the crowd, and he said in a deep voice, "Long Xiaoyao!"

"Long Xiaoyao?"

"Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao?"

"Long Xiaoyao, the Dark Holy Dragon from a hundred years ago?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Dugu Han in disbelief.

The name Ye Xishui is not well-known, but the name Long Xiaoyao was famous a hundred years ago when he and Mu En were known as the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons.

Almost all the older generation of Soul Masters grew up hearing about the names of Mu En and Long Xiaoyao.

Even young Soul Masters like Ning Tian had heard the legend of Long Xiaoyao from their sects.

"Long Xiaoyao!"

"Xiao Han, are you sure he's also joined the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Ning Tian found it hard to believe that Long Xiaoyao, a Soul Master who dominated the continent a hundred years ago, would actually join the Holy Spirit Cult, an evil Soul Master sect that everyone hated.

The others also looked at Dugu Han with curiosity, wanting to get confirmation.

"Sure!"

Dugu Han nodded slightly and said, "I can be 100% certain that he is the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"But...why did he?"

Ma Xiaotao frowned and said, "I've heard my teacher talk about the legend of Long Xiaoyao. His martial soul is the Dark Holy Dragon, a martial soul with dark attributes. It's not an evil martial soul, so how could he join a sect like the Evil Soul Master, which everyone hates?"

"The reason he joined the Holy Spirit Cult is not important. What is important now is that he was already a level 98 Super Douluo a hundred years ago!"

Worry appeared in Han Ruoruo's eyes. Long Xiaoyao and Mu En were known as the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons. After Mu En suffered an incurable serious injury in the battle with Du Bisi, they both broke through level 99 and became Limit Douluo.

And Long Xiaoyao, who was completely unharmed, has probably already become a Limit Douluo.

Two Limit Douluos gather together...

Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin, and the others were also feeling extremely down.

Ye Xishui was already difficult enough to deal with, and now Long Xiaoyao has arrived.

Two level-99 Limit Douluos have gathered together; who can stop them?

Even Kong Deming frowned at this moment, sensing a thorny situation.

Even if it were just Ye Xishui alone, even if he had just broken through to level 95 and his strength had not yet been fully integrated into his natal soul tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, and he could not unleash the true power of a level 10 soul master, he would still not be afraid.

However, even with the two Limit Douluos gathered together, it was difficult to deal with them, even though he integrated his own strength into the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.

"How about we invite Elder Mu over?"

After pondering for a moment, Han Ruoruo said.

Aside from Elder Mu and Kong Deming joining forces, she couldn't think of anything that could stop the combined might of two Limit Douluos.

Moreover, there were not only two Limit Douluo, but also a level 98 sect leader, a level 97 vice sect leader, and several level 95 and above Super Douluo.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Yes, please invite Dragon God Douluo over!"

Jing Hongchen agreed, "With Dragon God Douluo and Elder Kong joining forces, we have nothing to fear even when facing two Limit Douluos."

"There's no time!"

Dugu Han rejected the suggestion, explaining, "The longer you live, the more afraid you are of death. Ye Xishui has lived for over two hundred years and is nearing the end of her life. The pure life energy contained in the Life Gold can help her prolong her life, so she definitely won't let it go and will definitely bring people to snatch it."

"The Holy Spirit Cult headquarters is located in the Demon Forest. With Ye Xishui's Limit Douluo speed, it won't take him more than half an hour to get back."

"In addition, she summoned the followers and led a group of elders and worshippers to come. The whole process took no more than three hours. In three hours, we wouldn't even have enough time to reach the border of the Sun Moon Empire."

Upon hearing this, the hopes that had just begun to rise were immediately extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

"Mr. Kong!"

After pondering for a moment, Dugu Han looked at Kong Deming and asked, "You should be a level ten Soul Master now. Can you unleash the true power of a level ten Soul Master?"

"I can't perform to my full potential!" Kong Deming shook his head.

"Ok?"

Han Ruoruo and the other two women looked at Kong Deming with some confusion.

I don't understand why he can't unleash the full power of a level 10 Soul Master, even though he has already become one.
"Although my soul power, mental strength, and research on soul tools have all reached the level of a tenth-level soul master, I am already considered a tenth-level soul master. However, I still need to take one last step to unleash the full potential of a tenth-level soul master," Kong Deming explained. "I need time to completely integrate my strength into my natal soul tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield."

"A natal soul tool?"

The three women were still puzzled. They had almost no knowledge of soul tools, only knowing how to use flying soul tools, melee soul tools, and defensive soul tools.

As for their natal soul tool, this was the first time they had ever heard of it.

At this moment, the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke after a long silence: "Elder Kong, with your current strength, are you capable of stopping a Limit Douluo?"

"We can stop it!"

Kong Deming is very confident in his abilities.

He could only hold off one of the two Limit Douluos; as for the other Limit Douluo...

He stared at the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, I know what you are thinking, but although the high-energy compression array soul tool in the palace has been set up, it has not yet been fully researched. It is still a bit of a stretch to rely on it to deal with the Limit Douluo."

What does "not yet fully researched" mean?

Dugu Han frowned.

"It's still a bit lacking in power compared to what I expected. It'll be a piece of cake to deal with a level 98 Super Douluo, but it'll be a bit of a stretch to deal with a Limit Douluo," Ye Yulin explained.

The High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tool was developed by Kong Deming, leading the Hall of Worship and bringing together many level-nine Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire. It was specifically designed to deal with Limit Douluo.

However, because Kong Deming had been in seclusion all these years helping Ye Xishui build the Death God Tower, the progress was slowed down a lot. Even though they managed to build it, the power of the high-energy compression array soul tool was much lower than expected.

"A soul tool specifically designed to deal with Limit Douluos!"

The three women, Han Ruoruo and Han Ruoruo, were startled.

The three of them exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

None of them had expected that the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire had developed to such an extent.

They've even designed a soul tool to deal with Limit Douluo.

"That is to say, its power is between that of a level 98 Super Douluo and a level 99 Limit Douluo."

After pondering for a moment, Dugu Han asked, "How many level nine Soul Masters does Mingdu have now?"

"Seventeen!"

The Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire blurted out: "Besides the Hall of Worship including Elder Kong and the Hall Master of the Red Dust Hall, there are also the three division commanders and deputy division commanders of the Royal Soul Master Corps outside the city, three ninth-level soul masters of the royal family, myself, and Tianran's Dark Guards."

"There are only seventeen!"

Dugu Han frowned.

Seventeen level-nine Soul Masters, even if you include him, Han Ruoruo, and Ma Xiaotao, that's equivalent to the combat strength of twenty Title Douluos.

However, it still has fewer members than the Holy Spirit Church.

"Xiao Han, you don't need to worry too much!"

Xu Tianran pondered, "Even if the Holy Spirit Cult has as many Title Douluos as you say, they can't be in the Holy Spirit Cult all the time. Even if all twenty-three Title Douluos came out, at most fifteen could arrive."

“That’s right, we have the advantage in terms of numbers,” Jing Hongchen agreed.

Ye Yulin hardened her heart and said, "With the help of the high-energy compression array soul tool, Master Hongchen and I can barely hold off a Limit Douluo."

"But the Holy Spirit Cult also has a level 98 leader and a level 97 deputy leader!"

Dugu Han shook his head. Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and Ye Yulin were dragging two Limit Douluos, but who could stop Zhongli Wu, who was at level 98?
There's also Vice Leader Feng Ling, who's at level 97!

Moreover, both of them are evil soul masters, and their combat power is much stronger than that of soul masters of the same level.

"Level 98, Level 97!"

The emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire narrowed his eyes, a hardening thought forming in his mind.

He looked at Xu Tianran and asked, "Tianran, how many of the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells I asked you to produce have been made in these nine months?"

Three!

Xu Tianran replied, "The materials for level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells are hard to find, and the production difficulty is extremely high. Moreover, it is not wartime now, so many soul masters are unwilling to participate in the production of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells."

"Three!"

The emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire closed his eyes and began to ponder in his mind.

The Sun Moon Empire, including the reserves of the Royal Soul Master Corps in Mingdu alone, originally had a reserve of more than fifteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

Last time, Ye Yulin and the others took three from the Body Sect, leaving twelve.

With the addition of the twelve new ones, there are a total of fifteen level-nine fixed-equipment soul-guided cannon shells.

A single level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is enough to kill or maim a titled Douluo.

"Fifteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells exploded at the same time. Could a Limit Douluo withstand it?"

The emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was somewhat uncertain, after all, the Limit Douluo was a figure who truly stood at the pinnacle of this world, possessing boundless power with a mere wave of his hand.

He remained silent for a moment, then hardened his heart.

Even if a Limit Douluo could withstand so many level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, he would inevitably be seriously injured.

In addition to the level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shells, Mingdu also has hundreds or thousands of level 8 fixed-position soul-guided shells and level 7 fixed-position soul-guided shells.

Upon realizing this, the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire immediately opened his eyes and ordered Xu Tianran, "Have someone send over those three level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, including the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells from the Royal Soul Master Corps, as well as level-seven and level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells."

"In short, I want all the level 7 and above fixed-position soul-guided shells in Mingdu to be delivered to the palace within one hour."

"Father, what do you want?"

Xu Tianran suddenly had a guess, and was immediately startled.

"I want to blow up the palace, I want to blow up the Ming capital!"

"I intend to bury the entire high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult here."
