Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

In the year 2642 of the Douluo Calendar, at the beginning of the new year, the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire was not in Heaven Dou City as in previous years, but was still touring the whole country.

The old forces were originally celebrating their change of status, since the highest power center of the empire was not in Tiandou City, and they had much more freedom of action.

However, the border disturbances at the end of the year plunged the entire empire into a state of panic. The Star Luo Empire's military strength was overwhelming that of the Heaven Dou Empire. These people knew this, after all, it was the result of generations of them draining the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

At that time, Tiandou City, having lost its leader, was instead hoping for the early return of the Crown Prince, but before they knew it, the following year had arrived.

"Sect Leader Ning, when will His Highness the Crown Prince return?"

Ning Fengzhi, who was traveling back and forth between Qibao City and Tiandou City, became the person who was asked the most questions. As for Emperor Xueye, no one cared about him anymore.

"If there is any news about Ning, I will inform you immediately..."

He had given this answer countless times.

"Fengzhi, Rongrong has run away..."

"..."

Having just seen off a group of people, Ning Fengzhi was truly distressed to receive news that his youngest daughter had run away from home. He rubbed his forehead and said to Bone Douluo, "Let her go... as long as she doesn't cause any trouble, let her relax."

Ning Rongrong deserves credit for Xue Qinghe's early departure, but he couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile, "This child was too hasty!"

"I'm just afraid the swordsman won't be able to sit still..."

"Sigh... Uncle Jian has suffered these past years..."

……

At the Lord's Mansion in Longxing City, Qian Renxue was temporarily residing there. She seemed rather strange as she reviewed the documents.

He dismissed those around him, then reached into his chest and took out an extremely thin object.

What happened to Xiao Shui's soul imprint?

Looking at the small, round, thin, shimmering soul imprint that was shining brighter, Qian Renxue was somewhat puzzled. This thing hadn't had any real effect for many years, yet now it was undergoing this strange change.

But the soul imprint vanished in the next instant!

"This is impossible!!"

Qian Renxue suddenly stood up. She remembered that Qian Shui had said that unless the person was gone, this thing would never disappear as long as it was fed some soul power every day.

Before she could even grieve, Qianshui's voice rang out.

"Hello...hello~ Xiaoxue, can you hear me?"

The indistinct voice came from somewhere, which made Qian Renxue a little flustered.

"Little...Little Shui?! Where are you? Are you back? Are you alright? What just happened?!"

"There's no time to explain! You're on the eastern coast of Douluo Continent, right? Immediately issue the highest mobilization order! Order all residents of the eastern coastal cities to evacuate! If you can go up the mountain, go up the mountain! You come with us! You only have about two hours!"

Those damn mantis shrimps are amazing! They created a super tsunami! It's coming soon!

"Where are you? Come back quickly! Let's go together! Xiao Shui! Can you hear me?! Xiao Shui?!"

Qian Shui cut off the call as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Qian Renxue alone and at a loss.

...

At this moment, Qian Shui was extremely annoyed. He regretted that he should have killed the super-sized mantis shrimp sooner.

As the saying goes, he traveled westward, sightseeing, hunting souls, and eating his way through the vast Douluo Continent. When he reached the eastern coast of the Douluo Continent, he encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

As the saying goes, a giant kun is too big to be stewed in one pot, so a mantis shrimp encountered in a thousand rivers is naturally too big to be steamed in one pot.

"You don't need to guard the pass for me anymore. You can go first. It's only about 20 meters. The new spatial soul tool I got can still fit it."

"Continue westward. After absorbing the spirit rings, I'll go ahead and rejoin you once I land on the east coast of Douluo Continent!"

"be careful!"

After arranging things for Huan Hongchen and his group, Qian Shui began to absorb the beautiful and incredibly powerful mantis shrimp.

'This thing called Blue Star is like a deep-sea boxing champion; even if it's fantastical, it's still way too awesome!'

In terms of both speed and strength, Qian Shui was suppressed in the confrontation and had almost no chance to fight back!

In reality, Qian Shui's body was already riddled with holes, with many internal organs injured by the shock, and his face bruised and swollen. If it weren't for the strength of the Tyrant Fish Armor, Qian Shui, who insisted on relying on speed to withstand the attack, would have already collapsed.

That final punch from the mantis shrimp struck the sea surface, instantly creating a tsunami hundreds of meters high that swept across the surrounding area.

Only then did Qian Shui finally have a chance to activate his Nascent Soul Realm. While instantly killing the mantis shrimp, he also sensed the presence of Qian Renxue's soul imprint and immediately informed her of the tsunami to prevent large-scale casualties.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was released, and the four 100,000-year soul rings shone brightly, drawing in the fifth 100,000-year soul ring.

This is precisely why Qian Shui is so arrogant. Moreover, he already possesses three 100,000-year-old soul bones and three external soul bones. Apart from his primordial spirit not having been equipped with a ninth ring of soul power and not having broken through level 90, his strength and cultivation have been forcibly elevated to the late stage of the Golden Core stage by the superposition of four 100,000-year-old soul beasts. He can contend with ordinary Title Douluo with his physical body alone.

If he were to fight the Sea Dragon Douluo again, he might not even need to use his Nascent Soul Realm.

Until this guy met the mantis shrimp with its superhuman speed and punches!

The first blow stunned me; a supersonic lap landed on my face, sending me bouncing hundreds of meters across the sea like a skipping stone. Before I could even react, I was subjected to a furious barrage of punches!

"Damn, it's called 'Divine Light Mantis Shrimp'! Ah!! Another external soul bone! And it's an eye?! Give me my left arm bone! The boxer is too awesome! I want to fight too!"

In no time, Qian Shui went berserk again after absorbing the soul ring. He even killed six 100,000-year-old soul beasts, including the Demonic Tiger Whale King, before he could properly obtain three normal soul bones!

"O ocean! You are all water!"

Qian Shui quickly put away the Divine Light Mantis Shrimp's body, stopped drooling, and held on tight.

With a wave of his hand, six fish-fin-like wings, as thin as cicada wings, appeared.

"To be honest, aside from the fact that this thing is called shark fin, the Lightning Flying Fish King's flight speed is really impressive!"

The external soul bone from the 100,000-year-old Lightning Flying Fish King fully unfolded its six-winged fins, surrounded by a faint blue light, and tightened the trident of the sea god on its back.

"Transformation into a Divine Realm! Advance four times!"

With a loud sonic boom, Qian Shui used all her speed-boosting skills and moved forward at full speed.

He needs to reach the tsunami before it hits Douluo Continent, in which case there might be some chance to reduce the damage.

...

'Xiao Shui, where are you?'

At this moment, Qian Renxue stood at the highest point on the coast, directing everyone to evacuate Longxing City.

However, there were too many people, and even if she personally directed the operation, it wouldn't be very effective. By this time, an hour and a half had already passed.

Due to limited manpower, only the area around Longxing City could be notified to evacuate, and the time was too short!

The water on the beach has receded considerably, which is not normal tide time. This anomaly only further proves that the tsunami was real.

"Miss, it's time to go!"

Chapter 163 Reunion

Xue Qinghe left, but Qian Renxue did not. After leaving as Xue Qinghe, she returned and stood on the shore, facing the giant waves on the horizon that were almost visible to the naked eye, but even that could not make her leave.

She wore a golden palace dress, a one-piece garment seemingly woven from gold thread, without excessive patterns or decorations, its style simple yet elegant. The golden stand-up collar protected her snow-white and slender neck, and her long golden hair was casually draped behind her, without any careful combing.

'Didn't I tell you to leave?!'

A very familiar reproachful voice suddenly appeared in her mind. Upon hearing this voice, she, who had been frowning, finally smiled. She smiled so happily, as if the tsunami that seemed as powerful as the heavens in the distance was just a small splash of water in the wind!

With four wings unfurled behind her, she took to the air and flew toward the black dot on the horizon!

"Xiao Shui!"

Calling out to the boy she longed for, Qian Renxue's longing finally erupted at this moment!

The rapidly approaching Qian Shui had surpassed the speed of a tsunami and was flying towards the coastline of Douluo Continent. The moment his mental power reached the shore, he spotted Qian Renxue standing on the shore.

At that moment, the waves were roaring, and he did want to indulge in some romantic thoughts, but before he could even finish, he and his girl were swallowed by the tsunami and sent to the bottom of the sea to fish.

He swept Qian Renxue up in his arms, spun her around in the air, and released the immense force of their collision.

"Little Water~"

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly. The spinning motion seemed to understand her feelings, yet it prevented her from having any other thoughts. At this moment, nothing else mattered; all she needed to do was nestle in this warm embrace!

"Hey Xiaoxue, loosen your grip! You don't want to end up looking like a soaking wet chicken, do you?"

Seemingly blaming Qian Shui for being unromantic, Qian Renxue frowned slightly. Although her cheeks were slightly flushed, the corners of her mouth turned down, showing some displeasure, yet she refused to let go.

"Sweetie~" Qian Shui patted the girl's lower back, but also sounded a little anxious, "Wait until I'm done~ Ah~"

"Hmph! You'd better really be in trouble!"

"Uh……"

Although completely confused, Qian Shui could still tell that her partner was somewhat angry.

Qian Renxue released Qian Shui, giving him room to maneuver. He drew the Trident of the Sea God from behind and held it in his hand.

"What is this?!" Qian Renxue finally noticed that her man was actually carrying something thick and long on his back.

As he descended, a thousand waters fell upon the sea, and the golden trident mark on his forehead, along with the trident of the sea god, emitted an extremely dazzling golden light!

Although unwilling, Qianshui felt it was his part, and for the sake of the coastal residents, he invoked the power of the sea through prayer.

"In the name of the sea god, quell the sea's wrath! Light of the sea god!"

While fully unleashing the light of the sea god, the realm of "supreme goodness is like water" under the Divine Transformation Realm was activated.

'Join forces to deflect their force!'

"Seventh Soul Skill, Angelic True Form! Angelic Domain!"

Angelic Domain transforms Qian Renxue into an illusion. This domain skill is an amplification skill that can grant teammates an all-attribute boost of up to 30%!

She didn't know what Qian Shui wanted to do, but she unconditionally trusted this person and was willing to face all challenges together!

Sensing the amplification effect, Qian Shui turned around and exchanged a glance with Qian Renxue. The two eight-ring Soul Douluos smiled at each other.

...

"My dear mother... Is this even humanly possible?!"

The Serpent Spear Douluo, who was standing on the dock with the Porcupine Douluo in the distance, exclaimed in surprise. The Porcupine Douluo was no better off, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

"That's... the Swordsman!"
