Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Bibi Dong turned her gaze to Xie Tian and Hu Leyao, "You two will personally accompany Xie Yue. Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is powerful enough to handle most emergencies."

Currently, Xie Tian's cultivation level remains at level 95, a powerful attack-type titled Douluo, while his wife, Hu Leyao, has also successfully broken through to level 94.

The combined strength of the husband and wife was such that even the two enshrined masters of the Hall of Worship, Jiangmo and Qianjun, were no match for them.

Then, Bibi Dong turned her attention to Hu Liena.

"Nana, your Azure Heart Trial may sound like it doesn't involve any combat, but it's just as difficult."

"The Heavenly Dou Empire's most treasured artifact, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, must be stored in the most heavily guarded place, a place known only to Emperor Xueye and his personal guards."

Bibi Dong said in a deep voice, "And your test restricts the use of any coercive means, and you can only rely on your own charm to complete it, which is tantamount to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth."

"Therefore, I have decided that Yue Guan and Gui Mei will accompany you to Tian Dou City."

"The Ghostly Concealment Technique is unparalleled, ensuring you can infiltrate the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace without alerting anyone. Elder Ju will provide backup from the outside, just in case."

Hu Liena felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, but she also expressed her concerns.

"Teacher, Uncle Yue and Uncle Gui both went to Tiandou City with me, what about Second Brother?"

Her gaze shifted to Hu Bai, her beautiful eyes filled with concern.

"He's going to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest to search for the ruins left behind by that Thor. That kind of place is much more dangerous than Heaven Dou City, isn't it?"

Hu Liena's words caused the atmosphere in the hall to freeze slightly.

All eyes instinctively turned to Hu Bai.

Indeed, Xie Yue was escorted by her parents, and Hu Liena was accompanied by two elders. So, who should accompany Hu Bai, who is the strongest among the three but whose divine trial mission is also full of unknowns?

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu exchanged a glance, clearly already having a plan in mind.

But before they could speak, a slightly hoarse and aloof voice rang out on its own.

"I'll go with the little monster."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was sitting in the corner, dressed in a long emerald green robe.

Dugu Bo!
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's lips curled slightly.

This coincided perfectly with her thoughts. Dugu Bo had been personally recruited by Hu Bai, and the two were very close, so it was most appropriate for him to accompany her.

However, at that moment, another clear, cold voice, like the sound of a sword, rang out.

"If you don't mind, please let me come along."

Sword Dao Chenxin slowly stood up from his seat.

His eyes, which seemed to see through all the illusions of the world, were looking at Hu Bai with a hint of curiosity.

Even Bibi Dong was slightly surprised by this.

She had assumed that after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School merged into the Spirit Hall, Sword Douluo would choose to stay within the sect, dedicate himself to cultivation, and strive for a higher realm.

Unexpectedly, he also volunteered to protect Hu Bai.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, standing beside Chen Xin, exchanged a glance and both saw a bitter smile in each other's eyes.

To be honest, the two of them were also tempted to join in the fun.

But since top experts like Dugu Bo and Chen Xin have already gone, there's really no need for the two of them, one support and one defense-type, to follow along.

The Martial Soul Empire had only been established for a few years, and everything was in need of rebuilding. These high-ranking officials still had a great deal of work to do.

Bibi Dong is not in a hurry to launch a war of unification. She has even suspended the "decapitation operation" targeting the high-ranking officials of the two empires. What she is waiting for is an opportunity.

She was waiting, waiting for either Qian Renxue or Hu Bai to take that final step and ascend to godhood!

Ning Fengzhi didn't know that Bibi Dong also had a divine inheritance, but her progress in the divine examination was indeed a bit slower.

The Spirit Empire today is like a tiger that has already bared all its claws. It is just lying there quietly, waiting for its two trembling prey to choose to submit.

"Chen Xin, I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of thing too?" Dugu Bo glanced at Sword Douluo, his tone carrying a hint of teasing between old rivals.

Chen Xin chuckled, a gentle expression appearing on his face.

"I've actually wanted to have a proper conversation with His Highness the Holy Son for a long time."

He looked at Hu Bai and said frankly, "After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is now part of the empire. We need to get to know each other better, don't we?"

Of course, there was one more thing he didn't say. That was, only by staying by Hu Bai's side might he have a chance to comprehend that elusive opportunity for breakthrough.

He's been stuck at level 96 for far too long; this isn't something he can break through by simply staying in the sect and cultivating diligently.

You should know that his grandfather and father were level 98 and 97 respectively, while he was stuck at level 96.

If he cannot break through in this lifetime, then his talent will be the worst in the family.

Hu Bai: That's true. After all, you don't have any descendants, so aren't you the worst off?
Dugu Bo thought for a moment, but didn't say anything more.

Having a powerful helper is always a good thing.

After all, although he was known as someone no one dared to mess with among the titled Douluo, he was also aware of his own abilities, which were more inclined towards large-scale poison control and restriction.

With his Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Poison, it would be virtually impossible for him to poison a Title Douluo of the same level to death in a short period of time.

A titled Douluo powerhouse doesn't have the body of a soldier from the Heaven Dou Empire; how could they be as fragile as a cabbage?

Let's go back two years to when Hu Bai and his two companions first stepped into the City of Slaughter.

Far from the Douluo Continent, there is another vast land, the Star Luo Continent during the Douluo III era.

Gu Yuena and Di Tian appeared silently above a desolate mountain range.

Under Di Tian's guidance, Gu Yuena arrived on this unfamiliar continent in just a few days.

"My lord, according to the vague memories in the Dragon Clan's heritage, it should be deep within this mountain range," Di Tian said in a deep voice, pointing to the barren valley below, filled with an aura of death.

Gu Yuena nodded, her silver eyes flashing with a complex light that mingled excitement and sorrow.

The two descended slowly, and with Di Tian's precise sensing of the dragon bloodline aura, they quickly found the spatial rift in front of an inconspicuous mountain wall.

"Let's go in!" Gu Yuena said coldly.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into the crevice.

What came into view was a vast, boundless valley.

Dragon Valley!

It is also known as the Dragon Graveyard!
There was no sign of life in the valley, only ruins scattered everywhere!
The enormous dragon skeletons, some collapsed, some crouching, some roaring to the sky, lay quietly in this valley, as if telling of their resentment and grief before their death.

The air was thick with an overwhelming sense of sorrow and death.

Ancient, resentful dragon roars echoed deep within her soul.

"My lord," Di Tian's voice was also filled with sorrow.

"I'm fine." Gu Yuena wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze becoming incredibly firm.

She took a step, one step at a time, heading towards the deepest part of Dragon Valley.

There, she felt a primal call connected to her bloodline. In the center of the valley, atop an altar guarded by countless dragon bones, a gigantic, seven-colored, glassy heart, the size of a small mountain, floated silently.

Heart of the Dragon God!

Gu Yuena stretched out her trembling hand and gently stroked the enormous heart.

"boom--"

An unimaginably vast torrent of memories instantly flooded into her mind!
That is the memory of the Dragon God, the complete epic of the entire dragon race, from birth to glory, and finally to its fall!

a long time.

Gu Yuena finally broke free from that memory.

She put away the Dragon God's Heart, then turned around and looked at the devastated Dragon Graveyard.

She spoke softly yet solemnly to Di Tian, ​​"Let's begin."

“To bury our people one by one.”

On that day, within Dragon Valley, divine power and soul power intertwined.

The Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, and Emperor Tian, ​​the Beast God of the time, personally dug graves and erected tombstones for the thousands of dragon remains in this valley.

They carefully pieced together each of the scattered bones, and then solemnly buried them in the earth.

This process lasted a very, very long time.
Until the last dragon skeleton was finally laid to rest.

The resentment and deathly aura that permeated the entire Dragon Valley finally dissipated slowly, replaced by an unprecedented peace and tranquility.

Gu Yuena stood before the thousands upon thousands of tombstones and bowed deeply.

She knew that from this moment on, she was carrying not only the future of the soul beasts.

It is also the hope for the revival of the entire dragon race!

From the Dragon God's memories, she also learned why soul beasts need to undergo tribulation every 100,000 years.

Those were the rules of heaven and earth established when the Dragon God fell; unless a new Dragon God appears, otherwise...
She had fragmented memories and was unaware of this.

Now that I know, I just wonder what her predecessor, the Dragon God, was trying to achieve by doing this.
She couldn't understand.

Although she is half of the Dragon God, she is also an independent individual.

The Dragon God had already been cleaved in two by the Asura God's sword.

It doesn't mean that the Dragon God will be resurrected after she merges with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline.

That is impossible.

The meeting of the Spirit Hall concluded after finalizing the action plans for everyone.

The next morning.

Three figures silently left Wuhun City, transforming into three streaks of light and flying swiftly towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Leading the way was Hu Bai, dressed in pristine white with an ethereal air.

To his left rear followed the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, dressed in a long emerald green robe, with an aloof face and an air of venom that seemed to shroud him in a faint mist of poison.

To his right rear was a man dressed in simple white clothes, with a cold expression, who was like a drawn sword – Jian Daochenxin.

Star Forest.

When the three of them stepped into this vast primeval forest, Dugu Bo and Jian Daochenxin both put away their leisurely demeanor.

"Little monster, which way to go next?" Dugu Bo asked.

Finding the relics of gods depends not on strength, but on chance. The two of them can only act as bodyguards; the one truly responsible for leading the way is Hu Bai himself.

"Let me see."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bai stopped in his tracks.

He slowly closed his eyes, and in his sea of ​​consciousness, the long-dormant artifact of destiny began to emit a faint golden light.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, the whole world looked completely different to him.

Everything in the world seems to be connected by countless threads, some clear and some blurry.

Among them, a line of fate, shimmering with faint purple lightning, stretched from beneath his feet into some unknown depth of the forest.

"This way."

Without the slightest hesitation, Hu Bai pointed to a direction that seemed no different from the surroundings and walked there first.

Dugu Bo and Jian Daochenxin exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

They followed closely behind, but their hearts were filled with considerable turmoil.

They could clearly sense that, in that instant, Hu Bai had emitted an extremely profound and advanced energy fluctuation.

That energy did not belong to soul power, nor to spiritual power, but was a more primordial power, a power that transcended everything, like the "rules" themselves.

Faced with such power, even their proud Title Douluo power seemed somewhat insignificant.

Both Dugu Bo and Chen Xin were experiencing Hu Bai's ability to use the power of destiny for the first time.

Throughout the journey, Hu Bai continuously issued instructions.

His instructions seemed illogical to the two titled Douluo, and could even be described as utterly chaotic.

However, they discovered that each time they followed Hu Bai's guidance, they were able to perfectly avoid the territories of some extremely powerful soul beasts hidden in the shadows.

Although some powerful spirit beasts can still detect your presence even if you avoid their designated territory.

But as long as you don't set foot on their territory, and given the aura released by the three of them, these soul beasts won't cause you any trouble.

at the same time.

The core of the Starry Sky Forest is the Lake of Life.

The lake's waters ripple with a rich, almost tangible life force, nourishing the most elite beings in this forest.

On the lakeside, a small, golden-yellow beast with a single vertical pupil was lazily lying on the grass, seemingly dozing.

The emperor’s auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion.

The fate of the entire Star Dou Great Forest rests on her shoulders.

Suddenly, her furry ears stood up abruptly!
She raised her head, and deep confusion and wariness were revealed in her pure eyes.

It's that familiar force of fate again!
How come that human has reappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest in less than two years?
"No, I want to go and take a look."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was extremely curious about what kind of human she was, possessing the power of destiny just like her.

She didn't have a chance last time, but this time, neither Di Tian nor Gu Yuena are here.
