Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 151 Hidden Dangers and Divine Positions; In One's Position, One Should Fulfill One's Duties!
"It's His Highness Prince Wu!"

A sharp-eyed person on the city wall spotted Sikong Zhen and shouted excitedly.

In an instant, the entire border region was abuzz with excitement. Bugles sounded one after another, the city gates swung open, and squads of elite soldiers marched out in neat formation.

The leading general strode forward, knelt on one knee, and his armor clanged crisply.

"This humble general, Lin Xiao, the General Who Guards the North, respectfully welcomes His Highness Prince Wu's triumphant return!"

Hundreds of soldiers behind him knelt down in unison, the sound of their armor scraping against each other like thunder: "Welcome, Your Highness King Wu!"

Who in the Heavenly Dou Empire does not know the name of King Wu, Sikong Zhen?

That is His Majesty's only grandson.

He is also a powerful individual capable of defeating several Title Douluos single-handedly!
Sikong Zhen nodded slightly and landed a few meters in front of the soldiers with the Ice Fiend Bear.

His gaze swept over the soldiers who had been stationed in this bitterly cold land year-round, and seeing their faces red from the cold, his tone softened slightly:
"Everyone, please stand up."

After Lin Xiao stood up, he glanced at the Ice Fiend Bear behind Sikong Zhen with suspicion. Although its size had shrunk, its ferocity remained.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what kind of bear is this?"

"My partner, Ice Fiend."

Sikong Zhen gave a brief introduction, then asked, "Is the border region still peaceful lately?"

Upon hearing the word "partner," the Ice Demon Bear's eyes lit up.

Sikong Zhen had initially made it recognize him as its master, but Bing Sha had risked its life to help him and had already gained his approval, treating it as a partner rather than a lowly servant.

"Thanks to Your Highness's great fortune, the border is at peace."

Lin Xiao replied respectfully, while gesturing for him to enter: "The north is bitterly cold, and the journey must have been arduous. Please, Your Highness, enter the city to rest."

Sikong Zhen nodded and stepped closer to the border city.

……

Entering the border region.

Sikong Zhen glanced at the Ice Fiend Bear beside him and instructed Lin Xiao, "Prepare some fresh meat, preferably soul beast meat, the more the better."

"As ordered!"

Lin Xiao understood and immediately gave the order.

Soon, a group of soldiers arrived pushing carts loaded with soul beast meat.

The Ice Fiend Bear's eyes lit up, and it eagerly began to devour the meat, not caring that the beasts' cultivation levels were too low in their previous lives.

In the past, these nearly 200,000 soul beasts all ate thousand-year-old soul beasts, or even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts!

These soul beasts, at most, had a cultivation level of a hundred years in their lifetime.

the other side.

Sikong Zhen stood alone at the highest point of the city wall, gazing northward. The setting sun cast a long shadow of him, blending him into the majestic city wall.

"The far north."

Sikong Zhen muttered to himself, lightning flashing in his eyes, "Of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the weakest, Titan Snow Demon King, is comparable to a level 97 peak, and that Snow Emperor is no weaker than Qian Daoliu."

"Moreover, there are probably quite a few hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the far north, and countless ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts!"

"With this strength, if the three Heavenly Kings of the far north were to launch a beast tide, the border soldiers would be unable to stop them."

Sikong Zhen's tone appeared calm, but it concealed deep worry.

Let's not even talk about the soldiers on the frontier.

Sikong Zhen knew very well that if the three Heavenly Kings of the far north launched a beast tide, the entire Heavenly Dou Empire would be unable to stop it.

Unless one has the divine power of Thor,

Otherwise, Xue Di alone would be an insurmountable mountain for them!
"In the north, there are the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North; in the south, there is the Star Luo Empire and the Star Dou Great Forest; and the Spirit Hall is also eyeing us covetously."

"The Heavenly Dou Empire desperately needs a powerful figure to suppress foreign enemies!"

Sikong Zhen's eyes were deep and profound.

He saw more than just appearances.

Take the Star Dou Great Forest for example. It's the largest forest of soul beasts, but it only has two 100,000-year-old soul beasts: the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant.

Sikong Zhen thought this was impossible; the difference between that and the far north was far too great.

Not in line with common sense.

The most likely explanation is that the true, powerful ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest has never appeared for some reason.

Needless to say, the Spirit Hall is currently the biggest threat to Heaven Dou. Even before the Hall of Offerings has made its move, Bibi Dong alone is enough to give them a headache.

Sikong Zhen looked in the direction of the Spirit Hall and murmured, "Which deity did Bibi Dong inherit?"

That's right, he had already realized that Bibi Dong was also a successor of the gods!

That faint fluctuation of divine power did not escape Lei Yao's perception.

"There don't seem to be many evil gods."

Sikong Zhen recalled the introduction of the Thunder God, which mentioned many deities.

The gods of Asura, Rakshasa, Destruction, and Evil all possess some degree of evil attributes.

What kind of divine power fluctuations are emanating from Bibi Dong?
"That's all."

Sikong Zhen shook his head, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being.

He knew that now was not the time to dwell on this. The most urgent task was to improve his strength as soon as possible. Thinking about it too much was not as good as asking Thor for advice directly.

Night falls.

The cold wind howled on the border city wall.

Sikong Zhen sat cross-legged, his Five Thunder Drum Martial Spirit faintly visible behind him.

Four thunder drums also floated out, with blue, red, white, and black lightning flowing around him, forming a perfect cycle.

With each breath, tiny sparks of lightning emanated from his mouth and nose.

The Ice Demon Bear lay quietly to one side, guarding its master.

Its scarlet beastly eyes would occasionally scan the surroundings to prevent anyone from disturbing Sikong Zhen's cultivation.

"Rumble"

As time went on, the soul power within Sikong Zhen's body circulated faster and faster.

At his dantian, the Five Thunder Origin Soul Core rotated continuously, transforming the thunder elements in the world into pure soul power.

If someone gets close, they can even hear the thunderous sound coming from inside his body.

……

As the first light of dawn appeared in the east, Sikong Zhen's cultivation was coming to an end.

A lightning dragon, condensed to its fullest extent, flew out from his body, circling several times in the morning light before slowly dissipating.

"call--"

Sikong Zhen let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.

After a night of cultivation, he felt his soul power had improved further, bringing him one step closer to level 80.

"Master, you're awake." The Ice Fiend Bear immediately came forward.

Sikong Zhen nodded, stood up and stretched his limbs. He looked in the direction of Tiandou City and said in a deep voice, "It's time to go back."

Lin Xiao had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the city wall.

Seeing Sikong Zhen descend, he quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, this humble general has prepared breakfast, please take a look."

"No need."

Sikong Zhen waved his hand, raised his hand to condense a giant thunder eagle, flipped over and leaped onto the eagle's broad back, and the Ice Fiend Bear followed suit.

"Guard the border well. If there is any unusual activity in the far north, immediately send a message to His Majesty."

"As ordered!"

Lin Xiao respectfully replied, "This humble general swears to defend the border to the death!"

Sikong Zhen nodded slightly, then controlled the Thunder Eagle to fly into the sky.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the border guards, a man and a bear rode a giant thunder eagle, transforming into streaks of light as they sped towards Tiandou City.

During the flight.

Sikong Zhen looked down at the mountains and rivers below.

The fields, villages, and towns rushed past beneath his feet, but his heart felt heavy.

The threat from the Spirit Hall, the disturbances in the far north, and the hidden dangers in the Star Dou Great Forest—all these problems require his solutions.

In his position, seek his position.

Their Sikong family holds great power and should be responsible for the people of the empire.
