Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

A sharp sound rang out from the moonlight, followed by the pervasive golden and black energy that enveloped Chen Yao.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Chen Yao snorted coldly and slammed his palm down on the Nine Nether Black Lotus Throne beneath him.

Instantly, the surrounding lotus petals seemed to come alive, unfolding and extending outwards, dispelling the golden and black mist carrying the terrifying energy of a Title Douluo.

"what?!"

A surprised voice rang out, and then a figure emerged from the golden rain of flowers. The face, which was neither clearly male nor female, looked at Chen Yao with a look of shock and surprise.

"This...this is the Nine Netherworld..."

Moonlight recognized the black lotus beneath Chen Yao's seat and was somewhat incredulous that she had actually encountered such a celestial object.

However, unlike Moonlight, who was shocked by the encounter with the immortal herb, Ghost Douluo didn't recognize any immortal herbs. He only knew that he had to complete the Pope's mission and keep the people ahead of him there.

His figure flickered like a ghost in the night, and in the next instant he appeared in front of Chen Yao. A dark blade of light condensed in his hand and slashed heavily towards Chen Yao.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yao's eyes narrowed, and then the surrounding lotus petals quickly closed up, forming a bud that enveloped Chen Yao.

"Crack!"

The jet-black blade of light landed on the flower bud, but only produced a slight scraping sound before dissipating into the air, without even leaving a trace on the black lotus.

Upon seeing this scene, even the ghostly figure, exuding an aura of death and with an icy expression, showed a hint of surprise.

It should be noted that although the release of this jet-black light blade may seem casual, the energy contained within it is something that even a Soul Douluo would find difficult to withstand.

Could it be that he misjudged Yue Guan before, and this person is not a Soul Emperor, but a Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo?

"Old Ghost, how is it?"

At this moment, Yue Guan, who had regained his senses, stepped forward and asked.

"They failed to inflict any damage; I wonder where this powerful individual came from..."

Hearing the ghost's question, Yue Guan subconsciously explained.

"No, not a powerful expert, he's a Soul Emperor, and that's the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus..."

However, just as the two were talking, the flower bud opened, revealing Chen Yao's figure inside.

Chapter 86 Is Playing Dead Fun? Chen Yao

However, Chen Yao did not seem to be in very good condition at the moment.

Although the ghosts failed to harm Chen Yao, who was protected by the Nine Nether Black Lotus, activating the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus consumed too much of Chen Yao's soul power, which he could not replenish no matter what.

Just by withstanding two attacks, most of his soul power was gone.

Looking at the two people floating in the air ahead, Chen Yao's eyes were gloomy. Then, with a thought, thick black mist began to emanate from his body, gradually enveloping their figures and making them blurry.

At this moment, after learning about the ghostly nature of the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus from Yue Guan, a fiery glint flashed in his eyes.

He stood still, wanting to see what other tricks this Soul Emperor could pull off with the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus.

But after a moment, looking at the still motionless black mist, the ghost's expression changed and he cried out.

"Oh no, that kid's trying to run! Chase him!"

Then, the ghostly figure flashed, breaking through the layer of black mist, its eyes darting around before locking onto the outside of the city and speeding away.

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's expression changed, and he hurriedly followed.

Chen Yao, who had already arrived outside the city, saw that Gui Mei and Yue Guan had reacted, so he stopped hiding and suppressing himself, and urged his own soul power, causing the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus to start accelerating wildly.

As Chen Yao's figure gradually blurred and was about to disappear into the night, the two men had solemn expressions. They dared not imagine what would happen to them if they failed to complete the task personally assigned by Bibi Dong.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded in unison. Then, a loud and clear shout rang out from their mouths.

"Soul Fusion Skill, Polar Stillness Domain!"

Instantly, the golden chrysanthemums and ghostly shadows behind the two began to merge. At the same time, a strange energy fluctuation spread out, acting on Chen Yao, who was rushing forward, as if descending without warning.

Chen Yao's expression changed. At this moment, although his mind was still sharp and clear and he could perceive the outside world, his body seemed to be in a region where time was frozen, unable to move.

Feeling the auras of the two Title Douluos behind him growing ever closer, Chen Yao hardened his heart and disregarded the little soul power he had left.

With a thought, he moved his arms, and instantly, two primordial auras burst forth from his body.

Eerie black flames and dark ice filled his body.

Under the influence of these two energies, the solid space around which time was frozen actually emitted a series of crisp cracking sounds!

"What is this!"

At this moment, seeing the domain that was beginning to crumble, Yue Guan and the other person were stunned.

The Two Extremes Stillness Domain can be said to be the foundation of their existence. Since they figured out this martial soul fusion technique, they have been invincible and have never failed.

But now, seeing that ultimate move about to collapse, how could the two of them not be terrified?

"boom!"

Just as the two were stunned, the bipolar stillness domain finally could not withstand the violent energy of the two intertwined ice and fire and suddenly collapsed!

"Puch!"

The dismantling of their martial soul fusion skill also brought a terrifying backlash to Yue Guan and the other person. They both coughed up bright red blood and their auras weakened.

However, in the distance, Chen Yao was also in a bad state. He had forced the use of the two soul bones, which had almost depleted his soul power, leaving him with an extremely pale face.

However, seeing Yue Guan and the other two coughing up blood and clearly unable to continue the chase, Chen Yao felt slightly relieved.

Just as he was about to activate the Black Lotus and leave this place, a figure appeared in front of him without him noticing, with both feet in mid-air, looking at him with a half-smile.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Chen Yao's expression suddenly changed drastically.

The newcomer wore a crown, and his snow-white hair was coiled at the back of his head.

Holding a scepter and wearing a black robe, his every move exuded an aura of majesty.

Looking at her face, with its exquisite curves and features that seem to be crafted by nature, she is breathtakingly beautiful.

Who else could it be but Bibi Dong?

At this moment, Chen Yao's eyes were filled with gloom.

He still couldn't figure out why Yu Xiaogang had two bodyguards, Heng and Ha. Could it be that Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang had reconciled?

Bibi Dong looked at Chen Yao, who exuded a terrifying aura of darkness, and behind him, the ghostly Yue Guan, who was vomiting blood and whose aura was waning. She smiled and said...

"Looks like you've changed quite a bit during the years you've been pretending to be dead, Chen Yao?"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Chen Yao's expression changed beneath his hood, but he quickly regained his composure and retorted.

"I don't know what Your Holiness is talking about. I just heard that Wuhun City welcomes all commoner soul masters from all over the world, so I came here out of admiration. I never expected to be treated like this by your esteemed palace. It's quite an eye-opener."

He was unsure whether Bibi Dong had investigated Yu Xiaogang's situation and knew that his martial spirit had been recovered and could no longer be used to threaten him, so he dared not easily reveal his identity.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's playful expression faded, replaced by a somewhat cold one.

"Don't want to admit it? You're afraid to face me? Is playing dead fun, Chen Yao!"

“I told you, I don’t know who Chen Yao is that the Pope is talking about.”

Chen Yao pulled down his hood and spoke calmly, but in his heart he was anxiously hoping that Bibi Dong would not recognize him.

The night was dark, and the two were some distance apart, so Bibi Dong couldn't see clearly and could only see an unfamiliar face.

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed, and she felt extremely anxious.

Could it be that all the hope we had was ultimately in vain?

She found it hard to accept the outcome and nearly went mad.

However, she quickly calmed down and stared intently at Chen Yao.

Distinguishing a person's identity is not solely based on appearance.

At the very least, such a pure aura of dark soul power is not something an ordinary person can possess.

As she pondered, a glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. Then, she pointed a finger sharply, and a beam of pitch-black light burst forth, blasting towards Chen Yao.

The black light emanated a terrifying, surging soul force, carrying an aura of destruction.

Sensing a strong threat, Chen Yao's expression changed drastically. His soul power was now insufficient, and the Black Lotus and Soul Bone were difficult to activate and unleash their power.

In the face of life-or-death crisis, he no longer cared about exposing his identity and subconsciously activated his martial spirit, sending countless tentacles out to strike the black light.

However, when the tentacles touched the black light, the expected explosive energy did not erupt.

With just a light touch, the black light vanished instantly.

It turns out to be all show and no substance?

Chen Yao was taken aback when he saw this, but then he realized that Bibi Dong was bluffing him.

Just as Chen Yao was lost in thought, Bibi Dong arrived in front of him. With a playful expression, she reached out her jade hand, grabbed a tentacle, and said teasingly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen this, haven't I, a commoner Soul Master?"

Chapter 87 You'll Understand Later

Chen Yao's eyes twitched slightly upon hearing this, but he maintained a relatively calm expression. He took a deep breath and spoke.

“The former saintess has become the high and mighty Pope. I congratulate you, Bibi Dong.”

"I don't think you're congratulating me at all."

Bibi Dong shook her head, then slowly stepped through the air, approaching Chen Yao.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yao felt a chill run down his spine and wanted to retreat.

Even though Bibi Dong's expression was normal and she even had a faint smile on her face, Chen Yao could sense something different in that smile.

He subconsciously believed that it was Bibi Dong's murderous intent towards him.

However, his body was completely empty. Even though he had recovered some soul power during the conversation, it was still far from enough to support him in using the Nine Nether Black Lotus again.
