Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Seeing the man dead, Chen Yao retracted the blood-stained tentacles, then waved his left arm, and a ball of eerie black flames emerged from the air.

The flames landed on the four corpses, including the three evil spirit masters from before, and emitted a sizzling sound as the flesh and blood were burned.

Chen Yao stood before the rising black flames, the eerie firelight illuminating his expressionless, otherworldly face.

He had never intended to let anyone go, especially after hearing from him that Bibi Dong had broken through to the Title Douluo level and been crowned Pope.

Now that so many years have passed, in Bibi Dong's heart, he should have died long ago. Since that's the case, let herself die forever in his heart.

When a person dies, their debts are wiped clean; all the things he did in the past are naturally forgotten.

And this person saw his face and his martial spirit.

Although his appearance has changed somewhat, there are still clues to be found, and with his unique martial spirit, it's possible that it was revealed by him.

When Bibi Dong, who is already a Title Douluo, comes knocking on his door, Chen Yao feels a chill run down his spine just thinking about it. So this person must die!

While Chen Yao was pondering, the four corpses on the ground had already turned to ashes.

Seeing this, Chen Yao withdrew the black flames and strode out of the Sunset Forest, leaving behind only a patch of blackened earth burned to nothingness...

Chapter 69 Searching for Soul Rings

Not long after Chen Yao left, at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the entire mountain began to shake violently, rocks tumbled down, and then the nearly thousand-foot-high mountain began to crumble and disintegrate!

The Spirit Hall guards stationed there immediately changed their expressions and summoned their Spirits.

But all of this happened too suddenly. The solid ground beneath their feet suddenly caved in, leaving them with no foothold, and they plummeted downwards, accompanied by a constant stream of large boulders falling from the surrounding area.

For a time, screams echoed endlessly throughout the mountain stream.

When everything settles down.

Apart from a few flying Soul Masters and Soul Kings and Soul Emperors who barely escaped, the rest of the guards were all killed or wounded.

Seeing the blood seeping out from the pile of rubble, the survivors' faces were ashen and extremely ugly.

"Quickly return to Wuhun City and report to His Holiness the Pope!"

······

"You mean, the spring I ordered you to guard has collapsed?!"

At this moment, inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong, sitting on her throne, had an expression that was more intense than ever before since her ascension to the throne, her extremely alluring face showing such turbulent emotions!

"Yes...yes! Your Holiness, just now, that mountain collapsed without warning..."

However, having received confirmation, Bibi Dong had no intention of listening to what the person below was saying. A surge of powerful soul energy instantly coursed through her body, filling the palace.

Its body emanated an evil aura, and a faint light covered its graceful curves, solidifying into a suit of armor that was both chilling and exquisitely beautiful.

At the same time, behind Bibi Dong, nine terrifyingly powerful spirit rings appeared, their colors ranging from purplish-black to crimson!

The next moment, it took off directly into the air and rushed out of the Papal Palace at an extremely terrifying speed, flying towards the outside of Martial Soul City!

Only the person who had just reported the incident remained, slumped on the floor of the Papal Palace, his limbs weak from the lingering power of Bibi Dong, drenched in sweat, and his face filled with fear.

······

Before long, a terrifying aura, accompanied by a thick haze, swept through the bustling Tiandou City, instantly oppressing this once vibrant city.

This sudden turn of events shocked all the powerful figures in the city, who rushed out in a panic to investigate.

At this moment, in the center of Tiandou City, there is a majestic and magnificent mountain.

The location of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Inside the hall, a slightly thin old man with white hair and beard sat in the main seat, gazing at the dim sky and feeling the unbridled and violent soul power. His expression was solemn as he murmured to himself.

"What a Pope! What an unparalleled genius, Bibi Dong! A 30-year-old Title Douluo! It's truly ashamed of us..."

At this moment, a man dressed in black robes with a slightly aged face, standing beside the main seat, looked at the surging black mist in the sky, his eyes narrowed, and said.

"As expected of the Pope, he is truly unscrupulous, barging into Tiandou City like that. Judging from the direction, it seems to be Sunset Forest. What is Bibi Dong doing there?"

"No matter what we do, it's clearly detrimental to the Heavenly Dou Empire..."

With a sigh, the person in the main seat looked at the old man in black robes beside him and asked.

"Brother Gu, what do you think your chances of winning would be if you were to encounter Bibi Dong now?"

Upon hearing this, the old man fell silent, but the apprehensive look on his face said it all.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man turned around, sighed inwardly, looked up at the sky, and murmured something.

"These are truly turbulent times..."

······

Disregarding everything else, Bibi Dong quickly arrived at Sunset Forest.

At this moment, she stood before a pile of rubble and ruins, gazing at the scene where all traces had been erased, her delicate body trembling slightly.

"Why did it collapse out of nowhere? Was it because of you? Are you really still alive?"

Bibi Dong's eyes were unfocused, and she murmured softly.

Originally, she had already accepted the fact that Chen Yao was dead, but now, seeing the suddenly collapsed Yin-Yang Well, a hint of doubt flashed through her mind again.

But then, a strange and alluring curve appeared on the corners of her bright red lips.

"I hope you're really dead, otherwise, all those people I killed to resurrect you would have died in vain..."

From a distance, Bibi Dong's expression was inexplicable, carrying a sinister and sickly look that sent chills down one's spine!

······

"Are these dark-attribute ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts really that rare?"

Walking along the path in the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Yao held the ancient book he had brought out from the Spirit Hall years ago, looking around with a slightly depressed expression on his face.

Although Chen Yao found many habitats of dark attribute soul beasts according to the records in the ancient books, most of them were soul beasts with extremely low age, which did not meet Chen Yao's requirements.

"Perhaps I should go further?"

Looking into the vast depths of the Starry Sky Forest, a hint of hesitation flashed across Chen Yao's face.

If we go any deeper, we'll probably start encountering soul beasts that are over 3 years old.

Currently, he has not yet obtained a soul ring. Even though his soul power is incredibly abundant, he cannot unleash it due to limitations. If he were to venture deeper into the area and encounter some extremely powerful soul beasts, it would likely cause him considerable trouble.

Just as Chen Yao was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, the alarm clock suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Since the function of the black earth is to repel and decompose impurities in energy, could it be that if it operates in reverse, it would be fusion and condensation?"

As if he had thought of a certain possibility, a look of excitement flashed in Chen Yao's eyes. Without hesitation, he casually killed two deer-hands with a soul power of about five hundred years.

Looking at the soul rings rising from the heads of the two beasts, Chen Yao did not hesitate and reversed the operation of the black scepter.

Unexpectedly, a white light emerged from his palm and enveloped the soul rings of the two beasts.

Then, to Chen Yao's astonishment, the two spirit rings began to come into contact with each other and then merged.

After the intense flash of white light subsided, what appeared before Chen Yao was a pale purple soul ring!

"Is it really okay?"

Chen Yao was dumbfounded.

"This is a secret technique of the Dark Lord. It's impossible that she wouldn't know its function. So why didn't she tell me? Was she trying to test my intelligence?"

Chen Yao scratched his head, but then he was too lazy to think about it anymore. Recalling the habitat of the dark soul beasts that he had found earlier, he used his speed to leave.

After discovering the new function of the Black Mound, Chen Yao no longer needed to worry about spirit rings.

Quality is not enough, quantity is needed.

A thousand isn't enough, so let's have ten thousand! Chen Yao refuses to believe that slaughtering all the habitats of those dark soul beasts wouldn't be enough to satisfy his soul ring needs!

Chapter 70 Thousand Generals' Dark Soul Domain, Core Soul Bone

At this moment, in an underground cave in the Star Dou Great Forest, white light spread, carrying a strange and eerie fluctuation.

Inside the cave, broken crystal cores were scattered on the ground, emanating a strong aura of resentment.

A slender figure stood in the middle, and in front of the figure floated a pitch-black soul ring that exuded a strong killing aura.

Chen Yao looked at the spirit ring in front of him, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

This is a habitat for creatures called Soul Shadow Beasts.

These kinds of soul beasts are extremely peculiar. They have no flesh and blood, but are made of pure energy. Their bodies are stabilized by an innate core. The broken crystal cores scattered on the ground are actually the corpses of these shadow beasts.

However, apart from their physical form, they have no other special characteristics, and it is difficult for powerful beings to emerge from their race, so they are not considered rare soul beasts.

However, Chen Yao valued the characteristics of this Soul Shadow Beast, which were extremely compatible with his Martial Soul.

If Chen Yao hadn't found only this one habitat for the Soul Shadow Beasts, he would have really wanted to use these unique energy Soul Beasts to complete his Soul Rings all at once.

Now, using the Black Zhe, he condensed the soul rings of nearly a thousand soul shadow beasts in this cave into a soul ring with an age of 2 years, which barely met Chen Yao's requirements for the quality of the soul ring.

After the soul ring was condensed, Chen Yao did not hesitate and immediately reversed the Black Zhe.

The originally dense white light instantly transformed into a deep darkness, swirling and spreading.

In the darkness, the power of differentiation was pushed to its limit, and the resentment of nearly a thousand shadow beasts before their deaths began to tremble.

The aura belonging to the Shadow Beast itself was also repelled.

Immediately afterwards, the black light seeped into the soul ring.

Drawn upon it, the not-so-condensed and pure dark energy was assimilated into Chen Yao's dark martial soul.

Only when the color of this spirit ring completely aligned with the two ink-black, dull spirit rings behind Chen Yao, and they were exactly the same, did Chen Yao stop what he was doing.

Then, Chen Yao stepped forward and reached out to the soul ring, which had no luster whatsoever and was only pitch black, making one's heart tremble.
