Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 312 Encounter with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a terrifying soul beast tainted by the power of an evil god.

Inside the Golden Palace, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

The three sect leaders, Ning Fengzhi, Feng Bailong, and Yu Yuanzhen, gathered here, their auras deep and unfathomable.

Emperor Xueye's gaze swept across the hall, and he asked with concern:

"Where is Your Majesty, Sword Wine?"

Dugu Bodao:

"The Immortal made a breakthrough two days ago and went to the Star Dou Forest."

Chen Xin, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a glint of sword light flashing in his eyes.

"The banished immortal has advanced to the Soul Saint realm?"

Dugu Bo nodded with a smile.

Feng Bailong stroked his beard and laughed:
"The Soul Saint realm is a watershed. I wonder how much your strength will improve after you acquire the seventh soul ring."

"The current situation has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to alarm the immortal."

Ning Fengzhi lowered his eyes and sipped his tea, then turned to look at Emperor Xueye.

"Your Majesty, what is the situation of the war between the Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire?"

Emperor Xueye coughed twice, a look of melancholy settling between his brows.

"The Martial Soul Empire, under the pretext of eradicating evil soul masters, dispatched a thousand soul masters across the Star Luo border."

"Xingluo met the enemy with 50,000 elite troops, suffering more than 10,000 casualties, and annihilated the enemy."

"That Dai Zhen truly deserves to be called an iron-blooded emperor..."

"Knowing full well that the Martial Soul Empire's ambitions were not dead and its contradictions were difficult to resolve, they actually cut off all a thousand heads and piled them up on the border to form a Jingguan (a mound of skulls).

"This move greatly boosted the morale of the army, which enraged Bibi Dong, who then launched a military campaign against them."

"The advantage of Xingluo lies in its strong military force, so it should not be defeated so quickly."

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Has the Star Luo Empire requested assistance?"

"Never."

Emperor Xueye slowly shook his head.

"I know a little about Emperor Dai Zhen."

"He fought his way out of the blood feud and ascended to the throne all by himself."

"We only trust ourselves and the Star Luo Iron Cavalry, and we will never ask for help from outside unless we are at our wits' end."

Upon hearing this, Feng Bailong nodded slightly.

The Star Luo Empire has a highly centralized imperial power, and all sects within its borders must submit to its rule.

Therefore.

Only the three sects of the previous generation were all located within the Tiandou territory.

The truth is that Xingluo lacks the fertile ground and policies necessary for the growth of sectarian factions.

This is precisely why he felt no belonging to Xingluo and led his sect to move to Tiandou.

of course.

High centralization is not without its advantages.

The Star Luo Empire, with its million-strong army, is a product of the iron fist of imperial power.

"In that case..."

"Before Xingluo asks for help, we might as well stand aside and observe for the time being."

"Intensify preparations for war and observe the situation."

Chen Xin pondered for a moment and said:
"There's no need to disturb the immortal's side."

"Let him cultivate well in the Star Dou Forest."

"The stronger he becomes, the stronger our top combat power will become, and we will have a better chance of winning when facing the Spirit Empire in the future."

Feng Bailong and Yu Yuanzhen nodded in agreement.

The Great Emperor rose to his feet on a snowy night and bowed solemnly.

"Your Excellencies have worked tirelessly for the country."

"It is truly a great fortune for the people of Tiandou to have you all and His Excellency Jianjiu."

"Your Majesty is serious."

Starry Forest.

Lake of life.

boom--!
A towering column of water suddenly erupted from the calm lake surface.

A white figure broke through the water, treading on mist and waves, and gracefully landed on the shore.

"Excommunicate the Immortal!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and they quickly stepped forward to greet them.

Zhu Zhuqing rushed straight into Li Zhexian's arms, her slender hands tightly encircling his waist.

Xiao Wu stopped a few steps away, a faint smile appearing on her pretty face.

"You've finally come out! Zhuqing was so worried about you."

"Brothers who have been banished to the heavens!"

Da Ming and Er Ming strode heavily into the air, their gazes simultaneously fixed on the long sword at Li Zhexian's waist.

Their beastly pupils narrowed slightly, a hint of instinctive apprehension flashing across their eyes.

Even if one hides one's sharpness in the sheath.

Yet the terrifying aura emanating from the sword caused even the two great forest overlords to tremble slightly. Da Ming withdrew his gaze and asked in confusion:
"Brother, there was a strange aura emanating from the bottom of the lake just now. What was it?"

"Er Ming and I investigated for a long time, but found nothing."

Li Zhexian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was currently inside his sea of ​​consciousness.

If you tell the truth.

That would expose his knowledge of underground affairs.

Besides...

The fewer people who know about these underground secrets, the better.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The terrifying entity underground will not emerge until ten thousand years later.

It would be better if Da Ming and Er Ming knew nothing and continued to be the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"You mustn't say that, Immortal Brother!"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm fluttered up and down anxiously in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"You don't know, underground..."

Its words came to an abrupt halt, as if it had been choked.

In the dark.

It was as if a pair of dark golden dragon eyes were coldly glancing over from the leyline palace.

"Anyway, if revealing Brother Mo's existence arouses curiosity about the underground, it won't do these two big idiots guarding the gate any good."

After a moment's thought, Li Zhexian spoke:

"It is a special soul beast that dwells underground and has no effect on the Lake of Life. You two seniors need not worry."

Although Da Ming and Er Ming still had doubts, they nodded nonetheless.

In the past, Li Zhexian invited several titled individuals to save them from danger; such trust is beyond question.

"Zhuqing, I'm fine."

Li Zhexian patted the girl in his arms reassuringly.

The voice just fell.

His expression suddenly changed.

His eyes, which had been gentle and smiling just moments before, suddenly turned sharp as swords, abruptly turning towards the depths of the dense forest.

Two pale golden, crystalline sword energies burst forth from his eyes, tearing through the air and slashing towards the secluded forest.

"Roar--!"

A ferocious tiger's roar echoed through the forest.

What followed was the lighting of two menacing eyes, like blood-red lanterns.

The python's body tensed, coiling around Erming's body.

Erming's eyes widened in fury, and he pounded his fists, which were as heavy as mountains, into his chest, roaring angrily toward the blood-red eyes.

It could make the two overlords of the Star Dou Forest feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

This shows that this mysterious soul beast is extraordinary.

A jet-black hue, shimmering with purple demonic patterns, and an eerily strangely beautiful fur-like afterimage flashed by.

And with its departure.

The forest, which had been swallowed by darkness, was restored to its dappled light.

This mysterious soul beast seems to possess some kind of dark realm.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm asked in surprise within Li Zhexian's sea of ​​consciousness:
"Dark Evil God Tiger?"

"Does the Star Dou Forest harbor such ferocious creatures?"

"Legend has it that it was born from the mutation of a white tiger possessed by an evil god, and it grew by devouring soul beasts and soul masters, making it a creature hated by both humans and beasts."

"A thousand years is already rare, but this one has a cultivation of sixty thousand years, and its strength is by no means weaker than a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast."

Listening to the description of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Li Zhexian's heart stirred.

He suddenly remembered the Dark Demon God Tiger, which displayed an almost heaven-defying supernatural power in the original story.

A sharp, sword-like glint flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Ming, please take good care of Zhu Qing."

The words fell.

He transformed into a stream of light.

A glittering sword aura appeared briefly and then vanished.

It shot towards the direction where the Dark Demon God Tiger had fled, like a star chasing lightning.

"Hey! No!"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm frantically darted about in his sea of ​​consciousness:

"The Immortal Brother!"

"What kind of approach are you taking?"

"I told you how powerful it is so you could play it safe, not so you could chase after it and hack it to pieces!"

"Why are you getting more and more excited as you listen?!"
