Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Buyer, Creating the Terrifying Sumeru

[First release: 6,000 words]

"What did you say?"

"Tuoba hope is unconscious?"

"Even a dozen healing-type Soul Masters were helpless?"

Inside the Papal Palace in Wuhun City.

Bibi Dong had just finished dealing with her business and was about to rest.

Suddenly.

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo rushed over, and after their report, Bibi Dong was completely stunned. "How could this be?"

"What exactly happened?"

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo exchanged glances, and finally Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke, "Reporting to His Holiness the Pope!"

"Six months ago, some strange phenomena seemed to have occurred in Sunset Forest. At that time, the Heavenly Fighting Temple sent several cardinals to investigate. They only found that all plants and things were reviving, and found nothing else unusual."

Two months ago, Tuoba hope, the level 89 sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect, went to Sunset Forest to hunt for spirit rings, accompanied by three Holy Dragon Sect elders at the level of Soul Douluo.

"But just a month ago, the Heavenly Dou Holy Temple discovered that Tuoba hope had gone missing, so they went to investigate and found Tuoba hope unconscious and the three Holy Dragon Sect elders in the Sunset Forest!"

"When they were found, they had already passed out on the outskirts of Sunset Forest, their vital signs were very weak, and no amount of healing soul skills could help them..."

"Therefore, the Heavenly Dou Temple sent the person back to Wuhun City."

At this point, Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped speaking, and Ghost Douluo added from the side, "We immediately dispatched healing-type Soul Masters to treat the person after receiving them."

"Can……"

"We've gathered all the healing-type Soul Masters, but they're all helpless with Tuoba hope's condition!"

"No matter what healing soul skills I use, Tuoba hope shows no reaction..."

"waste!"

Bibi Dong suddenly stood up, and the terrifying pressure of a Title Douluo erupted from her body, scaring Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo into lowering their heads and not daring to utter a sound.

The people inside the hall were all silent and trembling, looking down at their toes.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold. "One Title Douluo and three Soul Douluos, just like that, inexplicably crippled? What were those healing-type Soul Masters doing?"

Many people were so frightened that they dared not breathe loudly, keeping their heads down for fear that Bibi Dong, burning with anger, would blame them.

"teacher……"

In the deathly silent hall, Hu Liena suddenly spoke up, "Teacher, I think we should find out the truth now."

"The mainland is so vast and full of wonders that there may be things we don't know about."

"Moreover, with the empire about to be established, it is precisely the time when we need manpower. We cannot let this matter throw us off balance."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong suppressed her anger and nodded slightly, "Nana is right."

at the moment.

With the Martial Soul Empire about to be established, there are countless things to manage, and it is precisely the time when manpower is needed.

As the helmsman of the empire, she must not lose her composure.

Tuoba hope was a clan leader who voluntarily surrendered. If his sudden mishap is not handled properly, it will inevitably shake the morale of the people.

Therefore, she cannot ignore this matter.

Of course, Bibi Dong was more pleased than anything else at this moment, as she hadn't expected her disciple to be able to see this level.

But... who should handle this?

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were assisting her in Wuhun City and couldn't leave at all. The other Title Douluos were either beyond her control or had their own matters to attend to.

With this in mind.

Bibi Dong spoke first, "Have the Heavenly Dou Temple withdrawn?"

"Teacher, the Heavenly Dou Temple has not yet withdrawn."

"Then let the Heavenly Fighting Temple send Salas to investigate!"

"This mess happened within the Heaven Dou Empire; let him clean it up himself!"

"Before establishing an empire, he must thoroughly investigate this matter before we can leave!"

The death of Tuoba hope is related to the Holy Dragon Sect, which has just joined the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong must give an explanation for this!

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"

soon.

Salas, who was in the Heavenly Fighting Temple, immediately received a decree from the Pope.

"Sunset Forest?"

"Tuoba hope is unconscious, and more than a dozen healing-type Soul Masters are helpless?"

"Ha, as expected, a piece of trash."

Salas sneered, shook his head, stood up, and said, "Let's go see this Sunset Forest."

"What can a mere Sunset Forest possibly do to cause trouble?"

"yes!"

Immediately, two cardinals from the Heavenly Fighting Temple responded.

As a Platinum Bishop, Salas was naturally accompanied by a Cardinal who was a Soul Saint of over 70 levels.

Before long, Salas led the two cardinals to a newly built town in front of Sunset Forest.

This town, named Botanical City, was built two and a half years ago and is the new location of the Botanical Academy.

It is located on the eastern outskirts of Sunset Forest.

The original Botanical Academy was located in Elemental City, but for some reason it suddenly moved here. Salas didn't know the details and was too lazy to ask.

after all.

A mere plant college, whose dean is only a level 79 Soul Saint, what's so special about it?

however.

As Salas led the two cardinals to enter Sunset Forest, they encountered two students dressed in the uniforms of the Botanical Academy standing at the entrance. "Three seniors, things have changed in Sunset Forest recently. This is the 'Sunset Forest Survival Manual.' Please..."

"roll!"

Before the student could finish speaking, Salas impatiently waved his hand to interrupt, "Get out of the way!"

As the words fell, the aura of Contra swept through like a storm.

The two students from the plant college were so shocked that they staggered backward and collapsed to the ground.

Salas ignored the two students and led the two cardinals toward Sunset Forest.

"You can't reason with a damned devil!"

"Alright, alright, keep your voice down. All the people from the Spirit Hall are this short-tempered!"

The two students didn't stop her anymore. They just exchanged a glance, and one of them pouted. Her companion quickly covered her mouth.

Although the murmur was soft, every word reached Salas's ears, who possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo.

but.

He merely snorted coldly, showing utter disdain.

What do a bunch of brats who aren't even Soul Kings know?

On this continent, strength ultimately reigns supreme!

Could a mere Sunset Forest, which doesn't even have a 100,000-year-old soul beast, possibly cause any upheaval?

Even the Star Dou Great Forest, which has 100,000-year-old soul beasts, is not something Salas has never been to.

"Your Excellency, shall we go directly to the coordinates where Patriarch Tuoba hope disappeared?"

A cardinal asked respectfully, holding a map drawn inside the Spirit Hall.

"nonsense!"

Salas, with his nostrils flared, said, "Hurry up and deal with this mess. I still need to go back to Tiandou City to handle the Temple's evacuation."

"The Holy Dragon Sect is truly a bunch of useless trash; they even managed to mess things up in this Sunset Forest!"

The two cardinals immediately bowed their heads, but dared not offer any opinion.

Salas's backer is Pope Bibi Dong, while they don't have such a backer, so how dare they speak ill of the Holy Dragon Sect?

The three moved with incredible speed, darting through the forest. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at a relatively open woodland, guided by the map.

however.

As soon as he entered this area, Salas's brows furrowed involuntarily.

It's too quiet.

The entire woodland was eerily quiet!

Based on Salas's experience...

There will definitely be some insect chirping and bird calls in the forest, and at the very least, there will be the presence of many weak plant-type soul beasts.

But after he entered this area, it felt as if the whole world had been muted, and there was no sound at all.

and.

The surrounding trees were exceptionally tall and lush, their dark green canopies layered upon each other, completely obscuring the sky and allowing only a few dappled rays of light to pierce through, casting eerie shadows on the ground.

And in this air, the refreshing fragrance that touches the heart is even stronger than before.

"Something's not right here."

Salas stopped in his tracks, a sense of unease instinctively rising within him from years of combat experience.

He looked around, his brow furrowing. "Don't you guys feel like something's not quite right?"

however.

He said this, but there was no response whatsoever.

Upon noticing this, Salas was startled and subconsciously turned around to look. In an instant, a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

Because... there was nothing behind him.

The two cardinals who had been following closely behind him had... vanished!

Only a few strangely shaped large trees stood there quietly, motionless.

Salas, "?!"

Holy crap!?

Seeing this scene, Salas was almost scared out of his wits. He took a few steps back with a start, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked around warily.

Nothing happened!

But this completely still scene made him feel a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

How is this possible?!

He's a level 89 Soul Douluo, just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo!

How could two living people, two Soul Saints with soul power of over seventy levels, disappear into thin air without his noticing?

Even for a titled Douluo specializing in agility-based attacks, achieving this would be absolutely impossible!

Even if a peak Douluo personally killed these two Soul Saints, there would still be some fluctuation in their soul power, right?

"A fantastical illusion!"

A fleeting tremor crossed his heart, but as a Platinum Bishop of the Heavenly Fighting Temple, Salas was naturally a man of considerable experience. He took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and said, "Get out here!"

He shouted sharply.

The martial spirit was released in an instant, accompanied by a powerful burst of soul power, and eight soul rings suddenly flashed out.

Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black (This is an illusion, it's not real).

The dazzling light emanating from the eight spirit rings seemed to dispel the surrounding darkness.

but……

Because the spirit rings were displayed behind his back, Salas didn't notice anything wrong with his spirit ring configuration at all!

At this moment, Salas looked warily at what was in front of him and shouted sharply.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

As he spoke sharply, he was also vigilantly sensing the movements around him, fully alert.

however.

From all directions, there was no sound except for his own echo.

The two cardinals who had been following him earlier seemed to have vanished into thin air.

This vigilant posture lasted for a full two and a half minutes, yet nothing changed.

This sight caused Salas to break out in a cold sweat.

He realized that something strange might have really happened in this Sunset Forest!

No!

This matter must be reported to His Holiness the Pope!

With this thought in mind, Salas no longer hesitated.

He made a quick decision and turned around to rush back the way he came.

however!

In the instant he turned around, a casual glance almost made his eyes pop out!

"Holy crap!?"

"etc!"

"My spirit ring configuration?"

At this moment, Salas was horrified to discover that his spirit ring configuration... had become two purple and six black!?

wrong!

This……

After wiping his eyes, Salas looked at the pulsating spirit rings behind him again, only to find that his spirit rings had turned into... Eight Black!?

"What's going on!?"

He was somewhat bewildered, staring at the eight rhythmic spirit rings behind him, his mind seemingly blank.

then……

Meeting Salas's horrified gaze, he discovered that his eight spirit rings had suddenly turned red, and then began to bounce and jump around him in a disco-like manner!

Salas, "!!!"

"My goodness!"

This scene terrified Salas so much he almost peed his pants!

He quickly retrieved his spirit ring, not daring to delay any longer, and hurriedly got up and fled in the direction behind him.

however.

After running like crazy, Salas was also panting heavily. He leaned against a large tree, gasping for breath. He glanced to the side and almost jumped out of his skin. "Holy crap!?"

now.

The strangely shaped tree he was leaning against was the one he had seen earlier when he discovered the two cardinals were missing!

This……

What's going on?

Could it be that what he just did was...

Is it just going to keep spinning in circles?

"How could this be...?"

"That's impossible!"

Salas looked terrified, but he was also somewhat skeptical.

I took a deep breath.

He then used his soul power to carve a deep groove into the root of one of the trees, changed direction, and charged forward again with all his might.

however.

Two and a half minutes later.

When Salas, his forehead beaded with sweat, stopped and looked up, his pupils dilated as if they had been struck by a magnitude 18 earthquake!

He stared intently at the familiar engraving on his feet, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Back again!

He's back to square one!

A chill instantly shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and then quickly spread to his limbs.

Salas looked around in horror. "What... what kind of illusion is this?"

In an instant.

His mental energy erupted like a volcano, desperately trying to find the bug in this illusion.

however.

No matter how much he probed with his spiritual power, he couldn't find even the slightest evidence that this was an illusion.

All signs seem to indicate that... this is not an illusion?

Salas slumped helplessly to the ground.

He didn't know if this was an illusion, but

He felt...

I feel like...

Can not go back!

The night was as dark as ink, shrouding the Sunset Forest in a deathly silence.

At the entrance to Sunset Forest, the two girls dressed in botanical academy uniforms who had been guarding the forest earlier were seen pushing an old-fashioned wooden cart, following Salas's route into the forest with practiced ease.

The wheels rolled over the decaying leaves, making a slight "crunching" sound.

Soon, they found the three figures lying on the ground.

"Found them, these are the three."

One of the girls pointed at Salas and his two companions who were lying on the ground, speaking in a relaxed tone, as if she was used to it and didn't care.

"Hey, I knew it!"

Another girl, hands on her hips, pursed her lips and lightly nudged Salas's shin with her toe. He didn't react at all. "Not reading the manual? You'll die fast!"

"Great, hey, I can just relax and enjoy life to the fullest now!"

"Alright, alright, just shut up!"

The female student next to her was both amused and exasperated. She tapped her on the head and said with a smile, "This is a Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall. Watch your mouth."

"So what if he's a platinum bishop? When he comes here, he'll end up lying on a board even if he doesn't listen to advice." The girl was sharp-tongued, but her hands moved swiftly.

The two men worked together, dragging the Sassanid man onto the cart as if he were carrying cargo.

Throughout the entire process, they appeared very cautious, even speaking in very low voices, as if afraid of disturbing some slumbering being.

After placing the three people into the stroller, they didn't hesitate much and tiptoed back, seemingly completely unaware of the unusual silence around them.

soon.

The cart disappeared at the edge of the forest.

The next morning.

A thin newspaper, as if it had sprouted wings, spread swiftly from Plant City to every corner of the Heavenly Dou Empire and even the entire continent.

The front page headline of the *Botanical City Daily*, in striking large bold font, read:

—"Bishop Salas of the Heaven Dou Temple and two cardinals have fallen unconscious for unknown reasons after trespassing into Sunset Forest. The Spirit Hall is hereby requested to come and retrieve them immediately!"

When the newspaper was published, the entire continent was immediately shaken!

"Salas? Wait, isn't that the Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou Temple who challenged Emperor Xue Ye during the Soul Master Competition?"

"He's in trouble? In Sunset Forest? Seriously, are you kidding me?"

"It would be understandable if it were in the Star Dou Great Forest, after all, there are hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. What is this Sunset Forest compared to that?"

"If you're bad, you need more practice! This Salas is really terrible!"

"Stop yelling! Sunset Forest doesn't even have a 100,000-year-old soul beast. How could a Soul Douluo and two Soul Saints possibly get into trouble? Someone is definitely plotting against the Spirit Hall!"

"That's true. Don't forget that young master of the Spirit Hall, who impersonated Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to try and poison Emperor Xue Ye and seize power. I think it's definitely revenge from the Heaven Dou royal family!"

"That makes sense!"

That's what they say, but most of the Soul Master factions are extremely gloating.

After the destruction of two of the three upper sects, the Spirit Hall's power expanded dramatically, almost squeezing out the other advanced spirit master academies. Now that they see the Spirit Hall suffer a setback, they are already doing their best to restrain themselves by not setting off firecrackers to celebrate!

① About the introduction.

The page description has reached its character limit, so here is the full description:

"If you hear someone in Sunset Forest inviting you to their home, run for your life at the first sign of trouble! If you're even a second too late, you'll meet the person on the very first page of your family tree!"

"Don't wander around aimlessly, especially if you see those black plants in the forest. Suppress your curiosity and run in the opposite direction immediately! Don't hesitate!"

"There are absolutely no cities in Sunset Forest. If you see one, it must be a mirage. I firmly believe it's all a mirage!"

"Remember, there is absolutely no 'cheese' food in Sunset Forest, and there's absolutely no one who will prepare 'sweet dreams' for you!"

—The above is excerpted from Sunset Forest Handbook!

Dugu Bo: "Are you kidding? This Sunset Forest is my backyard, I can go wherever I want!"

Tian Dou Daily: Dugu Bo was found unconscious in Sunset Forest. It has been confirmed that his spiritual sea is empty. All Soul Masters, please take this as a warning!

Tang Hao: "No way! My Ah Yin is still in Sunset Forest! You're telling me entry is prohibited? Are you kidding me!"

Tian Dou Daily: During a routine patrol, a body with only one hand and one foot was discovered. The body was covered with unidentified black scales, which may be infectious. The body has been burned.

Tang San: "What? This Sunset Forest dares to harm my father? This Sunset Forest has already laid a path to death! Watch my Blue Silver Wrap!"

"It'll hurt a little later!"

Poseidon, the god of the sea, said, "Friend, leave some room for maneuver. Release my successor..."

The goddess of life exclaimed, "Is there anyone here who understands life better than I do?"

The God of Asura declared, "Such an awesome person is not allowed to exist on the Douluo Continent!"

……

Gazing at the group of unconscious people lying before him, a figure with a white badminton shuttlecock atop his head seemed lost in thought. "I still can't solve the Dead Zone. I need to continue learning..."
