Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 241 Shocking Spatial Passage, Reunion with the Ferocious Beasts

The expressions of everyone in the Sea God Pavilion changed drastically, especially those of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who sat at the head of the table, and Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, who suddenly appeared beside them.

Shu Yan frowned slightly. Such intense spatial fluctuations only occurred when a massive spatial passage appeared or when space itself collapsed, but now…

The source of the spatial fluctuations was in the Star Dou Great Forest, not too far from Shrek Academy. Before he could speak, Mu En, who was sitting on the recliner, suddenly stood up with his cane. Although his waist was almost bent at a ninety-degree angle, the aura he exuded still made people not dare to underestimate him.

Xuanzi stepped forward and then said in a deep voice:

"Elder Mu, what exactly happened? Such violent spatial fluctuations and that strange energy are things I have never seen before in my life. For some reason, I felt a little trembling just now."

Mu En, leaning on his cane, took a few slow steps. Yan Shaozhe, seeing this, quickly stepped forward to help him. Reaching the gate of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En gazed eastward and then said:

"Xuanzi will stay at the academy; I'll go check it out myself. Something big must have happened in the Star Dou Great Forest..."

Xuanzi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly.

Although he was unreliable, he still had a brain. This commotion, even from such a great distance, made him tremble. Even if he went, he probably wouldn't be able to help much. It would be better for him to stay in the academy and keep watch to protect its safety.

Shu Yan gently tugged at the hand that had been held for a long time, and then spoke:

"Elder Mu, I'll go with you."

All eyes turned to him at once, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and confusion. But before they could say anything, Shu Yan's previously peaceful aura suddenly changed. In an instant, a terrifying aura that seemed capable of crushing the heavens and earth descended. The closest two, Taotie Douluo Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe, were forced to take several steps back almost simultaneously. The other elders fared no better. They exchanged glances, their astonishment and disbelief almost tangible.

A hint of surprise flickered in Mu En's eyes. Shu Yan's aura surpassed even his own at his peak. After a moment's thought, he spoke:

"You've already broken through to the Limit Douluo level?"

Shu Yan shook his head. Without a perfect method and precedent, it was not easy to condense the third soul core of Yin-Yang complementarity. But for him now, it was not a huge obstacle. Give him a little more time, and he would definitely succeed.

"Still a bit short, only at the peak of level 98."

Upon hearing this, everyone around him fell silent and stunned once again.

Taotie Douluo Xuanzi's lips twitched, and he looked at Shu Yan with disbelief. "We are both at the peak of level 98. How come you can suppress me and make me retreat repeatedly just by your aura? Could it be that I have cultivated a fake level 98?"

The other elders didn't know how to describe their feelings. A boy who was many times younger than them had surpassed them in cultivation, and even his mere aura could instill fear in them. In contrast, the geniuses of the same age in the inner courtyard or their own juniors...

Okay, why do I feel like I should just throw things away after comparing them?

Shu Yan ignored the reactions of the other elders. He slightly raised his hand, and the space in front of him crumbled layer by layer, eventually forming a spatial passage that emitted a soft light.

"Let's go, Elder Mu."

Shu Yan whispered something, then took the lead and stepped into the spatial passage.

Mu En paused for a moment, then gave a slightly bitter smile and followed him inside. Neither of them paid any more attention to the old man who had suffered too many blows in one day.

……

Starry Sky Forest, at the intersection of the outer and mixed zones.

Di Tian, ​​dressed in black, stood in mid-air. Behind him, almost all of the major ferocious beasts of Xingdou were present, and their terrifying pressure was almost solidified.

A middle-aged man with a slightly bluish complexion stepped forward. His emerald green eyes were somewhat eerie, and his emerald green robe accentuated his eerie and sinister aura.

This is none other than the Demon King, ranked fifth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, whose true form is the Demon Eye Tree. He is also the most powerful and troublesome of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts in terms of overall strength.

"Beast God, what on earth has happened?"

The other ferocious beasts also turned their attention to Di Tian, ​​with a mixture of curiosity and worry.

Di Tian's expression was somewhat gloomy as he stared at the ever-expanding spatial passage in the sky. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"As the Lord said, this is a spatial passage connecting two planes. Once this spatial passage expands to a certain extent, beings from that plane can come to our plane through this spatial passage."

"As for why this spatial passage suddenly appeared in my Star Dou Great Forest, even the Lord cannot be certain. However, what is certain is that the other side's plane definitely did not come with the intention of friendly exchange. You all felt the energy fluctuation that just dissipated. The destructive aura contained within it was astonishing. I seem to have sensed more than one aura no weaker than mine. If they really open this spatial passage, I'm afraid... the Star Dou Great Forest will face a true catastrophe..."

The beasts' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. Bi Ji frowned, looked up at Di Tian standing at the forefront, and finally felt a sense of security. After thinking for a moment, she spoke:

"Di Tian, ​​if the Lord were to intervene, could you directly close this so-called spatial passage?"

Di Tian turned to look at Bi Ji, his expression softening slightly, and then spoke:

"Our lord... she is willing but unable. According to our lord, this spatial passage is like a pipe that directly penetrates space and inserts into the Douluo plane. To pull it out, someone needs to go to that plane. Our lord's injuries have not fully recovered, and her strength is far from its peak. Doing so is too risky. Moreover, according to our lord, that plane may very well have a god-level expert. If something goes wrong, it will be a huge loss to our soul beast race."

The expressions of the ferocious beasts darkened once again. Even their master couldn't solve the problem of this spatial passage. Could it be that the Star Dou Great Forest was really going to face a catastrophe that would destroy the world?

Standing to the side, Xiong Jun, his face contorted with malice, said with even more hostility:

"If only that damned spatial portal appeared in the human world, then I'd love to see how those despicable humans would be dealt with..."

As Xiong Jun finished speaking, no ferocious beast responded. Di Tian frowned slightly, but remained silent.

Even the usually kind-hearted Brigitte fell silent. It was true that she was kind and hated war, but don't forget that she was still a soul beast. Faced with the crisis of her race's extinction, what Xiong Jun said was indeed the best-case scenario.

After a moment of silence, Di Tian suddenly looked to the west, where he sensed a familiar presence.

The spatial passage opened, and Shu Yan and Mu En slowly appeared. Looking around, Shu Yan's gaze fell on the slowly expanding spatial passage.

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time."

A moment later, Shu Yan shifted his gaze from the spatial passage to the numerous ferocious beasts.

Many ferocious beasts were also sizing up Shu Yan and Mu En beside him. After a moment, a hint of astonishment flashed in Di Tian's eyes, and he spoke:

"You have the aura of that Evil Emperor on you..."

Shu Yan chuckled, and a shadow flickered around him. A middle-aged man with a sinister and sinister face slowly appeared. His gaze swept over everyone present and finally landed on Di Tian.

"Di Tian, ​​it's been so long..."

The hoarse voice echoed in mid-air. Di Tian's expression changed, and then he said with some surprise:

"Evil Emperor, I never imagined you would choose to become a human soul..."

The Evil Emperor gave a strange smile, then said:

"A wise person knows when to yield, and I also want to pursue that highest realm... and Shu Yan can give me that opportunity, so how could I possibly refuse..."

Di Tian's expression was somewhat complicated. After a moment, he spoke:

"Yes, it's laughable and pathetic that we soul beasts have to rely on humans, our enemies, to reach that level..."

The Evil Emperor remained silent for a moment, and did not say anything more.

His relationship with Di Tian was special. Although the two had once fought a battle that almost killed him, there was still a sense of mutual respect between them. This was a resonance between two top-tier soul beast powerhouses on the continent, or rather, they had earned each other's respect through their strength.

The many ferocious beasts present, as well as Mu En, were all greatly shocked. They never expected that the Evil Emperor, who had cultivated for 800,000 years, would choose to become Shu Yan's soul. Mu En, in particular, with his knowledge and mindset, also experienced an incredible sense of disorientation.

Looking at the spirited young man beside him, Mu En had a feeling that this era was destined to be dominated by him, and no matter how outstanding others were, they were destined to become mere supporting characters.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The Evil Emperor's figure returned to Shu Yan's body, and Di Tian's gaze then fell on Mu En beside Shu Yan.

"Holy Dragon of Light, I never expected you to still be alive."

Moon smiled with relief, and then said:

"Beast God, how have you been?"

Di Tian didn't say anything more. Instead, Bi Ji took the initiative to explain the situation of the spatial passage and the potential dangers that might arise later.

Upon hearing this, Moon's expression changed, clearly realizing the seriousness of the problem.

He wasn't worried that Di Tian and the others were deceiving him, because he was also a Limit Douluo. Although he didn't have a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, he was still involved in spatial power. Naturally, he could sense the strange energy in that spatial passage that was completely different from the Douluo plane, as well as the aura of powerful figures that came from time to time.

The location of this spatial passage is only at the intersection of the outer circle and the mixed circle, neither too close nor too far from Shrek Academy. Once the powerful beings from that plane descend through the plane, Star Dou Great Forest and Shrek City will be the first areas to be impacted. At this time, even if races have different stances, they can only temporarily stand on the same side.

Ultimately, both humans and soul beasts are native to the Douluo plane, while the creatures outside this plane's passage are complete outsiders. They are the common enemy of both races. The conflict between humans and soul beasts is merely a conflict between native creatures of the plane, and now there is hope for reconciliation. But the situation is different for outsiders...

Their invasion is destined to severely impact the interests of both races; they are the common enemy of both races.

Shu Yan probed the gradually forming spatial passage with his spiritual power. The feedback he received made his brow twitch. Then, he spoke:

"There should be more than one such spatial passage. My spiritual power vaguely sensed similar energy reactions in other parts of the continent. I'll trouble Senior Di Tian to send out soul beasts to search the Star Dou Great Forest area. As for the original Three Kingdoms area of ​​the continent..."

Shu Yan's gaze fell on Mu En...

Moon observed the spatial passage for a while and realized the seriousness of the matter. He then spoke:

"Afterwards, I sent a message to the four great empires in the name of the Sea God Pavilion, stating that no matter what, the land of Douluo Continent cannot be trampled on by foreign races. I think they should all understand this."

Shu Yan nodded, and after understanding the situation, Mu En then chose to leave.

He could tell that Shu Yan had long been acquainted with many ferocious beasts, and Di Tian's gaze was fixed on Shu Yan, clearly indicating that he had something to say. At this time, he should not linger, and the situation here was indeed serious. Notifying the four great empires in advance would allow them to set up defenses and surveillance in advance, so as to avoid being caught off guard and suffering extremely serious losses later.

……

After Mu En left, Di Tian waved his hand, and Xiong Jun and the others immediately understood and turned to fly towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Biji whispered a few words to Di Tian, ​​then flapped her emerald green wings, which looked like they were carved from gemstones, and flew away.

When only Shu Yan and Di Tian remained in this world, Di Tian spoke with a hint of shock:

"It's hard to imagine that when we last met you were just a minor Soul Saint. In just a few years, you have reached this level, wielding spatial power with ease. Even I can no longer see through your true cultivation. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that a human genius like you truly exists."

Shu Yan sighed softly, then said:

"I condensed the first soul core of ultimate ice when I broke through to the seventh ring."

"When I broke through to the Title Douluo level, I condensed a second soul core using extreme evil and spatial attributes. My cultivation level is now level 98. If I want to break through to the Limit Douluo level, I must successfully condense a third soul core using the Yin-Yang complementarity method. My body, soul power, and mental power are already infinitely close to the god level. As long as I successfully break through to the Limit Douluo level, I will not be far from becoming a true god."

Di Tian's expression was somewhat complicated. For some reason, he felt that becoming a god was an extremely simple, even logical, thing in Shu Yan's eyes. But now he had to admit that Shu Yan did have the confidence and strength to say that.

Just as Di Tian was about to say something, his expression suddenly froze. Then, the complex emotions emanating from him vanished, and he spoke:

"The Lord wishes to see you and discuss some matters with you. Please..."

Shu Yan gazed towards the ominous place, then nodded slightly. Di Tian made his move, and the space before them slowly shattered, revealing a passage. After the two entered, the shattered space gradually recovered, leaving only the slowly expanding passage in mid-air emitting a strange halo…
