Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit.

The elderly woman in the red dress, known as Manyi, looked kindly at the blonde girl before her and said:

"In fact, several hundred years ago, the Star Luo Empire also tried to investigate the cause of that thundercloud."

"Nobody's a fool. Anyone would know that a place with thunderclouds that never dissipate is definitely extraordinary."

"There must be something hidden in the core area of ​​the Cataclysmic Mountain Range beneath the thunderclouds."

"Some even suspect that clues about God are hidden there!"

"The Star Luo National Academy once sent a team to investigate that area, when relations with the Sun Moon Empire were tense."

"We won't let go of any opportunity that could allow the Star Luo Empire to surpass the Sun Moon Empire in combat strength!"

"Unfortunately, the team led by several Soul Douluos failed to enter the core area of ​​the Disaster Mountain System."

"That area is prone to fires, lightning strikes, and typhoons from time to time."

"Even a Contra Master can barely survive, let alone conduct an investigation."

Xu Jiujiu was captivated by the story told by Manyi. Although she had been to the Disaster Mountain System a few times, she had only been hunting star-type soul beasts on the outskirts.

I had never heard the guards or my brother mention that the Star Luo Empire had ever explored this mountain range that stood on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Seeing the expectant look in the eyes of the girl beside her, whom she regarded as her own daughter, a smile appeared on Manyi's aged face.

She didn't keep her in suspense. After all, Xu Jiujiu was a princess, and this wasn't exactly a secret. If she wanted to know, there were plenty of ways to find out the truth.

"Jiu Jiu, you must have heard a rumor about the Cataclysmic Mountain Range, right?"

"There was once a powerful attack-type Super Douluo who, relying on his formidable cultivation, attempted to tear away the veil of mystery surrounding the Calamity Mountain System."

"As a result, it was almost torn in two by some unknown soul beast."

Xu Jiujiu nodded and said, "I heard my classmates mention it when I was at Xingluo National Academy."

"But everyone says it's a rumor."

"Because the story is too outrageous, because the Super Douluo sensed that the soul beast's cultivation level was only 30,000 years."

"Even a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear wouldn't stand a chance against a Super Douluo of the Power Attack type with that level of cultivation!"

Manyi smiled helplessly, a hint of shame appearing on her wrinkled face. She slowly walked to Xu Jiujiu's side and looked at the distant, majestic mountain range that seemed to be baring its fangs and claws, intimidating all directions.

"It's true!"

That's not a rumor.

Manyi revealed a look of reminiscence, while Xu Jiujiu was quite shocked at this moment. She never expected that this extremely absurd story was actually true.

However, she did not interrupt Manyi's recollection.

"That must have happened 110 years ago."

"I hold an important position in the Star Luo Royal Guard, responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family."

"A hundred years ago, in the Hall of Worship of the Star Luo Empire, there was a Super Douluo whose Martial Soul was the Terror Armor Rock Bear, and whose title was Shattering Mountain."

"He is honest and kind, likes to mentor younger generations, and is very loyal and passionate to the Star Luo Empire."

"During that period of tension with the Sun Moon Empire, he single-handedly led the Soul Master Legion to support the former White Tiger Duke!"

"His most glorious achievement was personally tearing apart a level 95 evil soul master, Super Douluo, whose martial soul was a ghost doll."

"He watched you and His Majesty the Emperor grow up. I remember when I first broke through level 70, I wanted a spirit ring."

"He approached me and enthusiastically offered to take me to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings for me."

"I was so excited at that time. A super Douluo, whom I can only look up to now, took me to hunt for spirit rings."

"Later, he found me a seventh spirit ring that was the most suitable in terms of age and attributes."

"This laid the foundation for me to become a Title Douluo."

"I always thought I would repay him in the future, but on the day I was about to break through to the Soul Douluo level, I saw his body that had almost been torn in two!"

"Some immense force shattered all his meridians and internal organs."

"Thanks to his Super Douluo cultivation, he barely survived and did not die immediately."

"His Majesty the Immortal Physician Douluo arrived just in time and saved his life!"

"He weakly told us that there was a black-faced, golden-haired lion-dog-like spirit beast in the core area."

"Cultivated for 30,000 years, possessing a certain domain, devoid of reason, and extremely powerful!"

"A single collision caused him to bleed internally; if it weren't for his spatial teleportation soul bone technique, he would have died there!"

"Unfortunately, due to the severity of his injuries, even the Immortal Healer Douluo was powerless to save him, and he passed away three years later."

"The late emperor was devastated and forbade anyone from setting foot in the core area again, and sealed off the news of the death of Shattered Mountain Douluo."

After Man Yi finished speaking, it took her a long time to realize that what she had once thought was a rumor actually concealed such a tragic story.

She looked at the thunderclouds, her gaze filled with awe and fear.

A super Douluo used his life to show future generations just how dangerous that place was.

Looking at the somewhat frightened Xu Jiujiu, Man Yi smiled on her aged face and said:

"You don't need to be so afraid."

"Those kinds of soul beasts only stay in the core area. The Star Luo Empire's royal family has been hunting soul rings in the Disaster Mountain System for thousands of years."

"We've already thoroughly investigated the surrounding area!"

"I'm telling you this story mainly so you'll remember it."

"Never underestimate any place in the Douluo Continent!"

"In this land where the strong roam freely, where do all these rumors come from?"

"They all have a source."

"Having reverence is a good thing, but don't let reverence take over your heart, as that will hinder your path to becoming stronger."

Manyi patted Xu Jiujiu's shoulder and said, "Okay, go change your clothes."

"We're about to enter this mountain range."

"You don't want to go in wearing a long court dress, do you?"

Xu Jiujiu blushed slightly, knowing full well that she couldn't go into the dangerous forest wearing such clothes.

"Okay, Grandma Manyi."

"I'll go change it right away!"

Manyi looked at her kindly, nodded, and then looked solemnly at the thunderclouds in the distance.

What she didn't tell Xu Jiujiu was that the thundercloud was actually expanding.

Some wise people speculate that the thing that caused the thunderclouds is slowly getting stronger!

It's possible that the thing absorbed almost all the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Calamity Mountain Range. Otherwise, how could such a large mountain range not have given birth to a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

Even in places like the Tiger Might Mountains, the Star Luo Empire has discovered 100,000-year-old soul beasts!

How could the Disaster Mountain Range, which is almost three times larger than the Tiger Might Mountain Range, not have any 100,000-year-old soul beasts?

"What kind of spirit beast could control thunderclouds?"

In a dense forest a few hundred meters from the hotel, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared, and Huo Yuhao's figure slowly emerged from it.

"Brother Tianmeng, I'll never trust your navigation again!"

"I almost ran off to Xingluo Province!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm began to argue:

"What? It's obvious that all of you humans are the same."

"My mental perception is pretty much the same everywhere, and besides, aren't we here?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the dark sky in the distance, where blue lightning roared, like some kind of giant beast churning its body.

Just staring at it makes one feel depressed and a little palpitations.

"Alright, Yuhao, let's get ready to go in. I've already prepared the spatial teleportation."

"In case of any unforeseen circumstances, your divine power and my spatial teleportation can guarantee our safety!"

Huo Yuhao nodded. This trip was mainly to the core area to obtain information about the Golden-haired Lion Mastiff. A primordial soul beast that disregards bloodline is a true treasure!

"Wait a minute, I'm changing my look."

Soon, the faceless mask on Huo Yuhao's face began to twist and change.

A man with short white hair, white eyelashes, and pale blue eyes that seemed to extend from the sky appeared in the spot.

"I've wanted to cosplay Gojo Satoru for a long time."

"The limitless technique plus the reversal technique leaves room for limitless possibilities."

"Even if I were to come down to Akuta, I would still have to admit that I am Gojo Satoru himself!"

"I refuse to believe this place can turn me into a 2.5-point Wu!"

The golden tortoiseshell is learning alchemy in the Sea of ​​Spirit, but seeing this design feels rather ominous.

"Yuhao, are you sure everything's okay?"

Huo Yuhao smiled confidently.

"You're guaranteed to win, bro."
