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

Chapter 250 Qiankun Asks the Valley of Love

Although Long Xiaoyao is a demigod Douluo, he is no match for Xia Die.

No one on the Douluo Continent can rival her.

Xia Die, wielding a scythe, unleashed terrifying power and the oppressive force of death, overwhelming even Long Xiaoyao.

Long Xiaoyao knew he was no match for Xia Die.

The difference between a god and a demigod is so great.

I didn't use my full strength just now. If I had, I would have died eight hundred times over.

On the other side. Before the Big Bang, in the Western Hills of the Sun Moon Empire.

Two figures in black carried a young couple who appeared to have recently married, flying over the western mountains before finally stopping in the center of the mountain.

This place is a huge valley, perfectly round in shape, whether naturally formed or carved by human hands is unknown. A clear lake lies in the valley, its surface shimmering even under the moonlight.

"Who are you? What do you want?! I have money, I can buy my life!" The man's desperate roar echoed through the valley.

"Money? Heh." The two men in black exchanged a glance, their laughter full of mockery. "This is a mysterious forbidden area, and only a sacrificial ceremony can awaken it. However, this ceremony is missing a living sacrifice. I wonder which of you, husband and wife, is willing to offer your life?"

“I can guarantee that as long as one person is willing to be the sacrifice, the other person will live.”

"No, I don't want to!" the woman pleaded, looking at her husband. "Please, let us go..."

Catching his wife's gaze, the husband's face froze for a moment, then he struggled violently: "No! I can't die! I don't want to die! Use her as a sacrifice!"

Upon hearing her husband's words, the wife's face drained of color, her eyes filled with disbelief: "You swore you'd protect me with your life! You said it!"

"Then what was that look you gave me just now? Didn't you just want me to die in your place?" the man roared in protest. "Life is only once, I haven't lived enough yet, why should I die?"

Hearing her husband's hysterical words, the last shred of tenderness in the wife's eyes turned to madness, and she screamed, "Kill him! Kill him! Let me live!"

"Hehehe..." The two men in black let out a piercing laugh, raising their short blades simultaneously and slicing through the necks of the couple almost at the same moment. Blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the lake below and staining the shimmering water red.

The couple stared wide-eyed at the man in black, their throats emitting only wheezing sounds, before their bodies went limp and collapsed.

A man in black curled his lip, his tone mocking: "We haven't missed a single arrest since we started arresting people here. What kind of love is there that lasts until death? It's all selfish stuff."

Another man in black nodded in agreement: "This place is indeed eerie; it can only be activated by the blood and lives of men and women who betray their love. Fortunately, this is the last time. Let's finish this quickly and go back to report, otherwise, once this hellhole truly 'comes alive,' it will be difficult for us to leave."

Moments later, the couple bled out and died completely.

Two men in black casually tossed two corpses into the lake. The moment the bodies sank, a strange, dark red ripple spread across the surface. Without lingering, the two men turned and sped off towards Mingdu at their fastest speed, as if pursued by a vengeful ghost.

Minutes after they disappeared, the lake began to surge violently. The spilled blood gradually faded in the ripples, replaced by a strange light—a blend of gold and silver, the gold shimmering like scattered stars, the silver rippling like flowing waves, spreading and spreading at an astonishing speed, dyeing the entire lake surface and even the air in the valley with a hazy two-tone halo. Because of this incident, all the academies fled in their own separate ways.

Of course, the Body Sect and the Northern Sect do not need to leave, since they are sects that have joined the Sun and Moon Empire.

In the direction of Mingdu West Mountain, Shrek Academy and Tang Clan members fled separately.

However, both of them headed towards Qiankun Wenqing Valley. "Damn it, what kind of hellhole is this? My soul power, mental power, and even my ability to fly are all suppressed, like I'm trapped in an invisible cage!" Old Song had been searching for the valley's exit since early morning, but had repeatedly run into obstacles, and now his face was full of anxiety.

Looking at the sky shrouded in thick fog, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart—even someone as strong as her would encounter immense pressure from the sky whenever she tried to fly away from this valley, which forcefully suppressed her flight momentum, making it impossible for her to break free of the constraints.

This was the first time in her life she had encountered something so bizarre.

Xian Lin'er leaned closer, her face bitter: "Mother, are we going to be trapped here forever? Even you can't get out. It seems we've fallen for the Sun Moon Empire's trap. Is this place... truly a dead end?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Old Song glared at Xian Lin'er, but his tone was firm, as if he were encouraging himself. "We will definitely get out of here! If we are trapped here, the academy will suffer a heavy blow. Old Mu is already in poor health. If he gets anxious because of our situation, the consequences will be unimaginable. This must not happen."

“Once we get out, I will make the Sun Moon Empire pay the price! But right now, the most urgent thing is to find a way to leave. Go and call Mei’er and the students to my side. At times like this, we need to brainstorm and come up with a way to escape.”

Xianlin nodded emphatically: "Okay, Mom."

Then, Old Song waved his arm, and a ball of blue flame shot into the sky, but was forced down by that mysterious pressure until it stopped when it was level with Xian Lin'er's line of sight.

The flame, which had been dazzling when it first appeared, has dimmed considerably and flickers like it is breathing, as if it has come to life.

Xian Lin'er frowned—if it weren't for the severe suppression in this godforsaken place, this azure flame would never have been so weak; it was born to be dazzling.

A few moments later, the group arrived one after another.

Old Master Song immediately explained Shrek Academy's current predicament and hoped that everyone could suggest leaving so that they could discuss the feasibility together.

After some discussion, Old Song adopted the plan of joint action—in a place like this, once someone gets separated, they may never be found again. Shrek Academy today cannot afford any setbacks; while there are many geniuses, they are not an inexhaustible resource.

By gathering together, they could at least look out for each other, and she could also use this opportunity to protect the students. As the leader and the strongest member of the team, protecting the students was her responsibility.

After dinner, Elder Song led everyone to carefully explore the terrain, marking many points along the way to avoid backtracking, hoping to escape their predicament as soon as possible. The group walked for a long time, finally stopping to rest late at night. They set up camp by the lake to conserve their energy for the next day's journey—the students' strength was ultimately no match for her, a Super Douluo, so they needed to allow enough time to rest and alleviate their fatigue.

By the lake, Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er stood side by side, enjoying the evening breeze, both with a relaxed expression. According to the Mingdu map, they were not far from leaving Xishan. Once they successfully escaped, Shrek Academy's retreat plan could move to the next step—withdrawing from the Sun Moon Empire.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Xianlin'er caught a glimpse of a halo of gold and silver in the distance, surging toward them like a tide.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately shouted, "Something's up! Everyone on alert!"

As it turned out, it was Moon and his group that appeared in the halo.
