Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 301 The Spirit Hall Establishes a Nation

"That old guy won't last more than a few months!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu ask about Emperor Xueye, Qian Renxue didn't even lift her eyelids and replied indifferently.

Although she had called Emperor Xueye "Father" for over twenty years, she felt no affection for him whatsoever; all she thought about was how to kill him as quickly as possible.

Because Dugu Bo had already been abducted by Xiao Yu, he naturally couldn't use his own natal snake venom to delay the onset of the poison for Emperor Xueye. Therefore, Emperor Xueye's life was lost several times faster than in the original story.

"Let's get rid of this old guy as soon as possible!"

Xiao Yu said in a cold voice, "Tang San will soon be setting off for Seagod Island. Those two bastards, Seagod and Asura God, should have realized by now that things have gone beyond their expectations, so they will definitely make sure Tang San completes the divine trial as quickly as possible. We can't waste too much time on the Heaven Dou Empire. We need to take control of the Heaven Dou Empire as soon as possible and continue with our next plan."

Qian Renxue nodded: "Don't worry about that. I've been trying to further stimulate the toxins in Xue Ye's body recently. That old guy Xue Xing seems to have sensed something was wrong, and he even secretly brought a lot of poison-using soul masters into the palace to examine Emperor Xue Ye's body."

"That old guy even came to Dugu Bo once, shamelessly bringing up their old friendship and begging for a favor. He was almost poisoned to death by Dugu Bo and fled back in a panic!"

Xiao Yu scoffed, "Ignore him. He's just a clown. Our focus should be on Emperor Xue Ye. Deal with this old bastard after you inherit the throne!"

In the original story, if Xue Xing and Xue Beng hadn't been lucky enough to catch Tang San's train, even ten more of them wouldn't have been a match for Qian Renxue.

"By the way, you're already a Soul Douluo now, so don't neglect your cultivation. Breaking through to Title Douluo as soon as possible will definitely benefit you!"

Xiao Yu patted the hand threateningly: "If I find out you haven't made any progress in months, I'll punish you severely!"

"asshole!"

Qian Renxue blushed and spat lightly, "You scoundrel, just you wait! After things are over with the Heavenly Dou Empire, I'll go back to the Hall of Worship and start the new Angel Assessment. We'll see who punishes whom then!"

After uttering those harsh words, Qian Renxue fled in panic. After watching Qian Renxue leave, Xiao Yu entered the underworld with a thought.

After entering the Underworld, Xiao Yu did not release his main martial soul, the Underworld Lord martial soul. Instead, he released his second martial soul, the Death Scythe, which had been condensed for him with divine power before the God of Death dissipated.

Death originally hoped that by using this martial soul carrying his last divine power, he could help Xiao Yu evade the suppression of the rules of the Douluo plane, allowing him to pass level 100 smoothly without needing a godhood.

However, now, due to the appearance of the underworld, the Death Scythe Martial Soul has lost its greatest function.

However, having twin martial souls is still an invaluable advantage for Xiao Yu.

Bibi Dong, for example, relied on the advantage of having twin martial souls. After breaking through to the Title Douluo level, she quickly reached the level 99 limit by adding a soul ring to her second martial soul.

If she hadn't accepted the Rakshasa God, a god who offered no rewards to his successors, and hadn't been interfered with by the Rakshasa God's thoughts, preventing her from using her full soul power and forcing her to only unleash her level 98 strength, it's hard to say what the situation would be like for the Spirit Hall now.

Xiao Yu has modified the rules of the Underworld. Soul Masters within it can now, like transformed soul beasts, condense their own soul rings to reach their physical limits and be the most suitable for themselves when they need them.

Xiao Yu sat down cross-legged and circulated his soul power. The power of the laws of heaven and earth around the underworld was also simultaneously mobilized by Xiao Yu. A light red halo was gradually condensing on the death scythe.

Led by Xiao Yu, the Nine Star Palace members diligently cultivated using the rules of the Underworld. Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and others, who were regarded as the future hopes of the Star Luo Empire's Haotian Sect, Seagod Island, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, went to Seagod Island and began their extraordinary careers under the power of the Seagod. The three-family alliance maintained a certain degree of restraint while these rising stars were not returning.

The Spirit Hall did not achieve satisfactory results in the Soul Hunting Operation. Its proposal for a re-election of the seven major sects was slapped in the face by the Nine Star Hall in conjunction with the three upper sects, two empires, and Seagod Island. For now, it has temporarily calmed down, licked its wounds, and silently recovered its strength.

All factions were quietly accumulating strength, and the mainland ushered in a rare period of peace.

However, this peace did not last long. In less than half a year, the Spirit Hall broke the tranquility.

Because the re-election of the seven major sects was ruined by Qian Renxue, an unfilial daughter, and Xiao Yu, an even more rebellious son-in-law, Bibi Dong unceremoniously supported the Spirit Hall. The Holy Dragon Sect and Black Tiger Sect, which were originally intended to fill the vacancies of the seven major sects, were merged back into the Spirit Hall. The Elephant Armor Sect, Wind Sword Sect, and other lower four sects that had already pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall also officially announced their joining the Spirit Hall.

The participation of several major sects has made up for the losses suffered by the Spirit Hall in the Soul Hunting Operation.

After patiently annexing several minor sects and recruiting many free spirit masters, Pope Bibi Dong, ambitious or rather, a severely mentally ill patient who wanted to drag the entire continent down with her love, could no longer hold back and began her long-planned next step—establishing a spirit empire.

In less than half a month, all the Spirit Halls within the Heaven Dou Empire were closed, and all the Spirit Masters were withdrawn to Spirit City. The Spirit Halls within the Star Luo Empire had already been forcibly closed by the Clear Sky Sect, so there was no need to worry about them anymore.

After making thorough preparations, the Spirit Hall officially declared its establishment as a nation. Several kingdoms and duchies that had been colluding with the Spirit Hall then announced their joining the Spirit Empire. In just a few days, the Spirit Empire's territory expanded to a size comparable to the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires. At the same time, the Spirit Empire completely severed the ties between the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires.

Among the kingdoms and duchies that joined the Spirit Empire, the strongest was the Barak Kingdom.

Because it bordered the Star Luo Empire in the past, its military strength was the strongest among the vassal kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it also had a large amount of rich mineral resources within its territory.

The fact that such a strategically important kingdom broke away from the Heaven Dou Empire and joined the Spirit Empire was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Heaven Dou Empire. Emperor Xue Ye, who was already on the verge of death due to poisoning, could not withstand the blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted in front of his ministers at the court meeting.
