Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 178 Ten Thousand Enemies
"We'll sleep here for now."

"I'm going to give Xiaoxiaodie a surprise tomorrow morning."

"I want to be the first to see her surprised expression!"

On the other side, deep within the Demon Forest, the majestic stone gate of the Holy Spirit Cult gleamed coldly under the blood-red setting sun.

A blur streaked across the sky as the man fell like a meteor before the stone steps. His short, sleek hair, a blend of gold and red, flew about, the ends tinged with dark red like an unextinguished flame, shimmering with a dangerous aura in the twilight. His sharply defined face was like a work of art, with slanted, sword-like eyebrows that swept sharply into his temples. His crimson pupils held a chilling sharpness, each glance seeming to pierce through illusion. His nose was high and straight, like a blade, and his thin lips were pressed into a sharp line, concealing all the arrogance and ruthlessness within him.

His bare upper body was covered in crisscrossing battle scars, his bronze skin rising and falling with his breath. Beneath his powerful abdominal and well-defined pectoral muscles, dark red divine patterns meandered like living creatures, emanating a faint, eerie glow from his skin. A pure gold chain as thick as an infant's arm wrapped around his neck, from which hung a ferocious beast-head pendant that clanged with each movement. His lower body was covered in gilded scale armor, each scale engraved with ancient incantations. As he stepped forward, his black iron boots pounded heavily on the ground, the sparks illuminating the mottled rust on his armor—silently recounting the carnage of past battlefields.

And he is none other than the invincible Madmos.

"Where is this? Have we arrived in the world where A-Die stayed before?"

Wan Di was very puzzled, but sensed a very evil aura that was probably right in front of him.

His gaze fell on the eerie Holy Spirit Church building in the distance. Wan Di's expression turned solemn. After a moment of thought, he said in a low voice, "The most urgent thing is to find A Die first." However, just as he turned to leave, a chill ran down his spine and up to the back of his neck.

Years of battle had honed his keen intuition, causing him to instinctively sidestep and retreat. Almost simultaneously, a streak of crimson light grazed his clothes and pierced the ground, while a spear radiating an eerie glow was deeply embedded in the soil, its tip hissing with the lingering dark red mist.

Wan Di suddenly spun around, his power erupting and sending dust flying everywhere. He stared intently at the direction from which the blood-red spear had come, and roared in a voice like a bell, "Who goes there!" His words carried a powerful pressure that echoed through the deathly silent space, but only emptiness answered him. Only the spear stuck in the ground continued to seep dark red liquid, winding into eerie totems on the ground.

A chilling laugh echoed from all directions, followed by a hoarse voice carrying malice: "You should ask me that. What brings you to our Holy Spirit Cult?"

Before the words were finished, thick, inky black mist suddenly surged around them, and several evil soul masters dressed in black robes and wrapped in dark purple soul rings appeared, stepping on the mist. Their emaciated faces were covered with twisted lines, their pupils gleamed with an eerie, ghostly green light, and their weapons were still dripping with a foul-smelling slime, making them seem like demons from the abyss.

In a villa on the other side of the island.

The sound of waves crashing against the rocks drifted into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Xia Die slowly opened her eyes on the soft bed. The lingering feeling of her dream still lingered in her mind—she had seen Teacher Ti Bao and Wan Di here in her dream, and their familiar faces reassured her.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and suddenly froze. The three people standing at the head of the bed were clearly Tibo, Tian, ​​and Tining! The three were looking at her with concern, and Tibo even reached out and gently touched her forehead.

Xia Die blinked in disbelief, instinctively pinching her cheek. A sharp, stinging pain shot through her, and she gasped—this wasn't a dream!
Tibao's gentle voice, tinged with amusement, fell: "Long time no see, Little Butterfly, you're awake." Xia Die suddenly looked up, and the moment her eyes met the familiar face from her memory, her pupils constricted sharply.

"Teacher Tibao!" This seemed to have caused her a huge shock. Before Tibao could reach out to support her, Xia Die's body went limp and she fell backward, temporarily losing consciousness.

"Ah Die!" Tian and Tian Ning exclaimed at the same time. Ti Bao's expression changed drastically. She rushed forward and caught her limp body steadily. Her fingertips nervously probed her pulse, her eyes filled with panic.

Tibo looked at the unconscious Xia Die in her arms, gave a bitter smile, and said with a look of helplessness, "It seems that what we gave you was not a surprise, but a shock."

………………

Meanwhile, in the Demon Forest, Wan Di had just arrived, and the battle had already begun.

Originally, Wan Di had no intention of being his enemy, but if he were to obstruct me, then he would become my "foundation".

Wan Di stared at the other party and said, "In that case, those few will become the last blood of the [Conflict]."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crystal spear wrapped in blood-red light shot out of the air with a shrill whistling sound, piercing straight through the chest of the leading evil soul master.

The Ten Thousand Enemy Fist, carrying the roar of a lion, crashed down, causing the earth to tremble and the deafening roar of the lion to resound through the sky.

This terrifying power swept out like a raging torrent, causing the entire Demon Forest to tremble. The evil soul masters who were confronting countless enemies were instantly reduced to dust and vanished into the world under the impact of this power.

Wan Di said, "Troublesome ants."

Wan Di looked at the Holy Spirit Cult behind him and said, "This is the lesson. I am the Spear of Divine Retribution, the Incarnation of Strife. Remember my name, I am Medemus."

After saying this, Wan Di left. Even the Evil Emperor felt fear from Wan Di, so he did not choose to make a move.

Meanwhile, Xia Die and her friends returned from their island vacation. Five days had passed, and there were only two days left before the God and Goddess Ranking was launched.

Xia Die still managed to find Wan Di, both of whom were at St. Freya Academy. The current [Golden Descendants] number four.

Since Xia Die and Bolysia are not planning to participate, Xia Die begins to select team members from St. Freya Academy. As for why Xia Die is not going...

Right now, she can only cope with the situation if she waits for the "Reincarnation Ground" of this "Destiny" to become stronger again.

The current candidates are tentatively Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Jiu Li, Ye Yukesi, and Bai Xiuxiu.

These five will remain unchanged for now. Later, the remaining team members from the academy will compete to determine the final two team members.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has also arranged the affiliations of its team members.

But the worst off are Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, because neither of them wants to run into Xia Die Academy, since they are all from the Heavenly Pride Ranking, and Di Qiu'er and Gu Yuena will also be participating.

Therefore, they will most likely clash. With the current battle armor, Xia Die can already create six-word battle armor, and there is no one to manage the border gate between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

Two days later, the "strange" spectacle descended once more, but this time, it would be the final moment of blessing.

This time, the highly anticipated list of male and female gods is being revealed. The list of male gods will be announced first, followed by the list of female gods.

In an instant, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. The five elements converged, transforming into a primordial force, and a magnificent rainbow streaked across the heavens, seemingly announcing this grand event to the world. Unlike before, this time the manifestation was not a stone tablet, but an ancient scroll gleaming with golden light. As the scroll unfurled, it seemed to engulf the entire sky in a golden ocean, causing the world to pale in comparison.

The golden scroll shone brightly, exuding a sacred aura that made everything in its path appear insignificant. Surprisingly, those bathed in this golden light showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they could not hide the excitement and anticipation in their eyes.

In an instant, all around fell silent. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the sky.

Just as everyone was filled with anticipation, gilded characters suddenly appeared on the golden scroll, each character shining brightly as if containing supreme power.

[This round will simultaneously unveil the Male God Ranking, Female God Ranking, and Soul Beast Ranking. The rankings will be available immediately upon their release.]

[The rewards for those who make it onto the list of male gods are not predetermined and will be determined based on their individual characteristics.]

[The rankings will disappear one day after they are published. Before I leave, I will reveal the unknown secrets of Douluo Continent.]

[Now, let's begin announcing the list of ten male gods. Let's start!]

As soon as the words were spoken, a majestic and ancient voice boomed out, like rolling thunder. In an instant, ten thousand rays of divine light poured down from the heavens, like a dazzling curtain of light, enveloping the entire Douluo Continent, and a sacred aura that made people tremble filled the world.

At the same time, the golden scroll, radiating brilliant light, trembled violently and expanded wildly at a visible speed. Its edges spread outwards like ripples, and the golden halo surged like a tide, causing clouds and mist to churn wherever it passed. The entire sky seemed to be swallowed up by this rapidly expanding scroll, leaving only the endless, dazzling golden light in the world.

[Ranked 10th on the list of male gods]

Name: Ji Juechen
Sex: Male
Martial Soul: Mysterious Heavenly Holy Sword

Reward: Divine Seeds

[Divine Seed]: A special seed formed from immense [willpower], containing [divine power]. This seed is considered a crucial opportunity for creating one's own divine position, and is extremely precious. It is worth mentioning that a divine position achieved through this seed is not governed by any divine realm and possesses unique independence.

The moment these words were spoken, the entire room erupted in uproar. Everyone gasped, their expressions filled with shock.

After all, creating one's own divine position is extremely difficult, and now one can rely on this to achieve a divine position. Who could have predicted such an outcome?

Moreover, looking at the seed radiating divine power, Ji Juechen seemed to have made up his mind to create his own godhood?
He used this sword to achieve the path of a "Sword God," for what he pursued throughout his life was nothing more than one word.

【sword】

Now that this opportunity is presented to me, I certainly won't give it up so easily.

Although he possesses the key to creating his own godhood, the majority of the effort still depends on Ji Juechen alone. Now, after joining St. Freya Academy, he has already reached the initial stage of Title Douluo, and his strength is even stronger than that of Super Douluo and Limit Douluo.
