Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Unification would inevitably be accompanied by mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

In an instant, an astonishing killing intent involuntarily erupted from Chen Yao's body, soaring straight into the sky.

This intense killing intent, tinged with a thick stench of blood, startled not only Ah Yin and Gu Yuena beside Chen Yao, but also the ferocious beasts within the restricted area, who all wore expressions of horror.

At this moment, Ah Yin, who was originally feeling smug after receiving the divine reward and breaking through to the Title Douluo level, saw Chen Yao's state and her joy vanished instantly. She asked with some concern.

Gu Yuena also stared at Chen Yao with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing Ah Yin's voice, Chen Yao snapped back to reality and quickly suppressed his killing intent.

Most of his soul skills are accompanied by widespread suffering, and coupled with the endless carnage caused by the Slaughter City and the acquisition of soul rings, his current burst of killing intent is probably something few can withstand.

"I'm fine, I just suddenly thought of a way to deal with the divine realm."

Chen Yao waved his hand and explained.

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin felt relieved and then nodded thoughtfully. Chen Yao had also revealed to her his intention to deal with the God Realm, and Ah Yin had no objection to this.

She had always unconditionally supported Chen Yao in almost everything, and besides, Chen Yao didn't want to shatter the divine realm or abolish the divine positions.

What he wants to do is to change the world and usurp the divine realm, which will not affect Ah Yin's own divine position.

Furthermore, Chen Yao assured Ah Yin that he would not harm the God of Life who had bestowed upon her a great blessing, so Ah Yin naturally had no reason to object to Chen Yao.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena looked at Chen Yao with even greater excitement.

"What's your idea? Tell me quickly!"

But Chen Yao simply shook his head.

"It's just a preliminary plan, and it still needs some planning and adjustments. It's not that simple, and we still lack high-level combat power. So what we need to do now is to lie low, not attract the attention of the God Realm, and slowly increase our strength."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena pondered for a while and found it to make some sense, so she didn't press the matter further.

"Alright, there's nothing much to do here now. We've had enough time, so let's get ready and leave. Liu Erlong has been tricked by you, and she's probably getting impatient."

Now that Chen Yao and A Yin have both broken through to new heights, and their control and cultivation of the Nightmare Dragon and their physical bodies are nearing completion, and Gu Yuena's injuries have been fully healed, the gains from this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest have exceeded expectations. Naturally, there is no need to linger any longer; it is time to return to human territory and begin making plans.

Ah Yin and Gu Yuena had no objections and followed Chen Yao out of the cave.

After summoning Tang Yuehua and the other two women, Chen Yao's gaze sharpened as he looked them over, and then he couldn't help but nod.

During this period, Chen Yao's crazy cultivation method has infected the already lazy and undisciplined Qian Renxue, who has never been lazy.

Not to mention Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Yuehua, who, due to their own experiences and reasons, have a strong attachment to cultivation.

They practiced even harder.

Qian Renxue, whose talent was already considered the best in the area, with an innate level 20 soul power, has broken through several levels in succession and reached level 65 soul power after her continuous hard work during this period.

This progress is truly astonishing.

Zhu Zhuqing's soul power also reached level 27.

Her strength improved much faster than in the original timeline, a full two years ahead of schedule, and her combat power was incomparable!

As for Tang Yuehua, her progress has not lagged behind, and she is constantly approaching the bottleneck of becoming a Soul Emperor.

Overall, their progress has been very encouraging, and Chen Yao is satisfied.

Upon hearing Chen Yao's plan to leave, Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Yuehua looked regretful.

After all, the cultivation conditions within this forbidden zone were far too favorable, making them somewhat reluctant to leave.

On the contrary, Qian Renxue was overjoyed and excited. With her talent, she was more suited to any cultivation environment. Compared to the beautiful forest forbidden zone, she was more comfortable in the bustling world.

Upon hearing the news that Chen Yao and the others were leaving, Zi Ji and Bi Ji also rushed over from their respective territories.

Now that they are Chen Yao's dragon and swan, there is no need for them to stay in the forest. They plan to follow him around and look forward to seeing the excitement of the human world.

As for the other ferocious beasts, several of them wanted to go out with Chen Yao, including Di Tian.

However, Chen Yao rejected it.

Although his plan was somewhat ambitious and lacked help, these ferocious beasts were too big a target. It was alright with Zi Ji and Bi Ji, but with a few more, they might be targeted by the gods of the divine realm who liked to peek into the human world. Therefore, Chen Yao decided to let them lie low in the forbidden area and wait for his or Gu Yue Na's notification before they could emerge.

After Gu Yuena finished giving instructions to the ferocious beasts, Chen Yao and his group left the Star Dou Great Forest, where they had stayed for half a year.

This time, Chen Yao didn't choose to have Gu Yuena open up a space and go directly to Tiandou City. Instead, he found an extremely luxurious carriage, comparable to a small house, and rode with the women as a way to relax and have some fun. After all, his intense cultivation over this period of time had been quite a burden, and he needed to relax.

As the sun sets, horses pull elegant carriages, galloping along quiet, lush paths bathed in the afterglow of dusk.

If you ignore the constantly vibrating, groaning, and sizzling room, the overall atmosphere is quite beautiful.

Chapter 208 Trial

"Hiss!"

The galloping horse suddenly stopped, the inertia causing a jolt in the side rooms behind it.

"Azi, go and take a look."

Inside the room, Chen Yao frowned and said to Zi Ji.

Zi Ji nodded, stood up, and peeked outside.

After a moment, Murasaki replied.

"My lord, there are guards stationed at the city gate."

"Just give me some money."

Chen Yao wasn't surprised and casually tossed a money pouch to Zi Ji.

Zi Ji nodded and was about to take it, but A Yin, who was standing to the side, suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

"It's no use. I forgot to tell you, these aren't guards from Heaven Dou City, but from the Spirit Hall. Some time ago, the Spirit Hall took over the defenses of Heaven Dou City and began strictly checking people entering and leaving the city. They're probably looking for someone."

As she spoke, Ah Yin glanced meaningfully at Chen Yao.

Chen Yao was taken aback at first, then his lips twitched slightly.

"This Bibi Dong is really useless. As a country, it was taken over by someone else. What kind of Heaven Dou City is this? It should just be called Martial Soul Branch City."

Chen Yao's voice was full of disdain for the cowardice of Tian Dou City, but he still subconsciously took out a mask from his soul tool.

Although he is no longer afraid of Bibi Dong, he intends to pretend to be someone who would rather avoid trouble.

But Ah Yin still shook her head.

"The Spirit Hall is really serious this time. They won't just check randomly. Even if you disguise your appearance, it won't work. They will still insist on checking your spirit and spirit rings. There's no way to avoid it."

Upon hearing Ah Yin's words, Chen Yao was speechless, but his expression remained relatively calm. Tang Yuehua and the others, on the other hand, were all shocked and incredulous.

"How is this possible! Heaven Dou City would actually agree to such an outrageous demand from the Spirit Hall? Isn't the Emperor afraid that Heaven Dou City will become a ghost town?"

Gu Yuena and the other soul beasts might not realize anything, but Tang Yuehua, Qian Renxue, and Zhu Zhuqing, who came from extraordinary backgrounds, immediately saw the problem.

Such stringent conditions and such rigorous inspections will undoubtedly have a significant impact on Heaven Dou City.

On a smaller scale, travel became inconvenient, the flow of people decreased, trade became difficult, and public finances suffered a sharp decline.

On a larger scale, from ordinary people to royalty, trust in the country has drastically decreased, impacting the nation's destiny.

They simply couldn't believe that the Heaven Dou Empire was so despicable as to agree to such humiliating and treacherous conditions from the Spirit Hall!

"Well, although it's outrageous, it seems to be within expectations. That's how the Heavenly Dou Empire is."

Chen Yao shook his head, clicked his tongue twice, and said it with a hint of sarcasm.

Excluding the scattered sects, the Douluo Continent is now divided into two palaces, two countries, and four major powers.

These are the Spirit Hall, the Demon Dragon Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire.

Among these forces, the Heavenly Dou Empire is not as martial as the Star Luo Empire. It values ​​propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame in all things. It may have a way of governing the country and maintaining peace, but it is not tough on foreign powers.

In addition, the Swan Martial Soul, which was not particularly outstanding, was inherited by the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although it looks good, it has no potential, let alone combat power.

Even the slight habits associated with the Swan Martial Soul have led to the fact that most of the rulers of this empire have a mild temperament.

This might be a good thing for ordinary families, but for the imperial family of an empire, being indecisive in the face of important decisions can be extremely fatal.

The royal family was weak and unable to suppress any region, so it could only seek out powerful outsiders to serve. However, these outsiders were ultimately suspicious of each other, which led to the country's growing weakness.

Meanwhile, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire to the west of the continent was an ambitious man, eager to expand his territory and always eyeing the Heaven Dou Empire covetously.

Beset by internal and external troubles, the Heaven Dou Empire dared not resist the Spirit Hall's tough stance and its willingness to take action at the slightest provocation, and thus agreed to its humiliating conditions.

"Brother Chen Yao, do we still need to go in like this?"

At this moment, Qian Renxue spoke, but her voice sounded somewhat sullen.

The likely reason is that she previously used cunning and skill to quietly carry out a substitution, thus gaining control of the politics of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Even though she was taken away by Chen Yao and all her efforts were in vain, she was still often proud of the abilities she had shown before.

But the Heaven Dou Empire's current weak attitude and its utter vulnerability in the face of the Spirit Hall made her feel that her previous achievements were utterly insignificant.

Bibi Dong never intended to use her to control the Heaven Dou Empire; she just wanted to get rid of her and let her play house!

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue suddenly felt extremely aggrieved. If she hadn't kept her sense and knew how much she weighed, she really wanted to rush back to Wuhun Hall, beat Bibi Dong violently, then tie her up and put her on the bedside, so that she could helplessly watch herself and Chen Yao having fun in front of her, but there was nothing she could do!

At this moment, Chen Yao also noticed that something was wrong with Qian Renxue. However, as the saying goes, he might have some skills in picking up girls, but he was not a god. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. How could he know what kind of trouble Qian Renxue was up to? He was too lazy to pay attention and simply gave a shallow reply.

"No need. I was originally thinking of saving some trouble, but it seems that Bibi Dong won't give up until she finds me. She's been hiding and there won't be any peace in the future. I might as well meet her."

Chen Yao originally wanted to keep things simple, but since Bibi Dong had gone to such lengths, Chen Yao simply stopped trying to hide it. In any case, with his current strength, plus Gu Yuena who had recovered from her injuries and whose strength was comparable to a first-level god, he could easily overturn the Spirit Hall. Naturally, he had no reason to be afraid anymore.

Coincidentally, the Spirit Hall was also a crucial part of his plan. He intended to use the Spirit Hall's immense power to gradually conquer the entire world. He decided to take this opportunity to clarify the grudges, entanglements, and karmic consequences between himself and Bibi Dong.

As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in Chen Yao's eyes, his expression hardened, and he slowly stood up.

She jumped off the carriage, and the brilliant golden light from the sun shone on her flawless face, giving it a dreamlike beauty, like that of a deity.

The bustling pedestrians around them stopped in their tracks upon seeing this scene, stunned by the beautiful sight before them. They held their breath, and the surroundings fell silent. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, turning into a gray-white color, while Chen Yao, in his carriage, became the center of everything.

Upon seeing the appearance of the pedestrians around him, Chen Yao frowned, somewhat puzzled as to what was going on with them. Had he frightened them by releasing his martial spirit and spirit ring?

Somewhat unsure of himself, Chen Yao raised his hand, but finding no soul power surrounding it, he didn't bother to care and slowly walked towards the checkpoint set up by the city gate guards.

Chen Yao's actions seemed to shatter the stillness of the scene, and the surrounding pedestrians finally came to their senses, realizing that they were not in a dream, and that the handsome man who seemed like a god was real!
