Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 323 Regent Xiao Yu

"Eighth Soul Skill, Death Space!"

The blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring burst forth with the most dazzling brilliance in the night sky, and a huge black light shield instantly trapped the ever-expanding Seahorse Douluo and Sea Ghost Douluo within it.

boom!

The next moment, the bodies of Seahorse Douluo and Sea Ghost Douluo had expanded to their limits. Accompanied by two earth-shattering explosions, their martial souls exploded in an instant, and terrifying energy rippled outwards, constantly impacting the spatial barrier that trapped them.

Click!Click!

With a crisp cracking sound, the Death Space ultimately could not withstand the energy impact of the self-destruction of the two Title Douluos and shattered into countless powders.

Fortunately, most of the energy was blocked by the death space, and the remaining leaked energy only caused a slight fluctuation in the space, unable to cause terrifying damage.

Xiao Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked around. The self-destruction of Seahorse Douluo and Sea Ghost Douluo had achieved their most important goal. Tang San had escaped from the palace gates under their cover and his whereabouts were unknown.

"No!"

In the distance, the Sea Dragon Douluo watched his friend of over fifty years die on the spot, and he was overcome with grief. He let out a long roar, and the last ten-thousand-year soul ring on his body flashed, unleashing his strongest attack.

Ninth Soul Skill: Sea Dragon Roaring Strike!

A colossal sea dragon soared into the air, swirling and dancing. Rings of azure light emanated from its body, transforming into monstrous waves that surged wildly towards Eden before it.

Facing the strongest attack from the Sea Dragon, Eden's blood-red 100,000-year soul ring lit up.

A terrifying energy erupted from Eden's body, and the lightning power surrounding Eden continuously gathered towards his palm.

Ninth Soul Skill: Thunderous Thousand Kills!

This was also Eden's most powerful attack, compressing the power of lightning to its limit and concentrating it into a single point, then releasing it from its restraints to create a terrifying explosive force. Wherever the lightning passed, space shattered, and all matter and elements turned into nothingness.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—"

The deafening roar seemed to shatter the heavens and earth. In an instant, terrifying lightning power enveloped the Sea Dragon Douluo and the ocean phantom released by his ninth soul skill, bursting out bursts of dazzling purple light.

After a long while, the purple light dissipated, and the Sea Dragon Douluo was nowhere to be seen in this space. A Super Douluo with a soul power of level ninety-five had been annihilated, leaving no trace of his body!

"Ninth Soul Skill, Frozen Age!"

Just as Eden annihilated Sea Dragon Douluo, Shui Bing'er also unleashed her strongest attack.

Amidst the resounding cry of the phoenix, a chilling current surged forth from the extreme ice, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature to absolute zero. Wherever the frigid soul power passed, everything froze. The ancient phoenix cry, seemingly from antiquity, echoed through the heavens and earth, freezing everything in its path and annihilating all life.

The Soul Douluo of the Haotian Sect who fought Shui Bing'er and the Star Luo Royal Family's retainer couple used the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and were frozen into ice sculptures. The extremely cold energy invaded their bodies, and their hearts stopped beating in an instant.

The powerful figures were either killed or fled, and their troops were quickly wiped out by the Nine Star Palace experts and the elite army commanded by Ge Long.

Xue Xing, Xue Beng, and other rebellious nobles were all captured. It is also worth mentioning Oscar, the second oldest of the Shrek Seven Devils. Unlike the original work, this Oscar is a pure food-type soul master and does not possess the sixth soul skill that can copy other people's martial souls like in the original work. Although he has a soul power of more than 70 levels, the only things that enable him to exert combat power are two level 4 soul tools.

When Ning Fengzhi first chose to side with the Haotian Sect, Xiao Yu had already begun to distance himself from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, preparing for a potential conflict between the two sides. How could he possibly sell truly powerful soul tools in bulk to Ning Fengzhi?

With only two level-four soul tools, how could Oscar possibly break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of people? In the end, he was captured alive.

With the rebellion quelled, Xiao Yu flashed to Qian Renxue's side, who was still "unconscious," and placed his hands behind her back, pretending to channel his soul power into her.

Qian Renxue, who was also holding a script, "weakly" opened her eyes, then coughed violently again, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood: "Palace Master Xiao Xiao, I... I seem to be dying."

Xiao Yu lowered his head, feigning distress, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Tang Xiao was far too powerful. Although you were protected by the Dream God, Your Majesty's internal organs still suffered an extremely strong impact. All your internal organs have ruptured, and there is no hope of recovery!"

Upon hearing this, the generals of the Heavenly Dou Empire, including Golong, lowered their heads, showing no doubt about the truthfulness of Xiao Yu's words.

That's the sect leader of the number one sect in the world!

Although Meng Shenji acted as a human shield, blocking most of the impact, even with only 10% of his power remaining, it was still beyond the ability of Xue Qinghe, a Soul Emperor, to withstand.

"The Haotian Sect supports the Star Luo Empire, which has always been a major enemy of my Heavenly Dou Empire. Their death at their hands is only due to my poor planning. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

At this point, Qian Renxue coughed violently again, as if she were truly enraged: "I have always held that scoundrel Ning Fengzhi in high esteem and have never wronged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I never expected that they would repay such a great favor from the Empire with such treachery. From this day forward, the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School shall be sworn enemies to the death. No Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shall be allowed to exist within the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire!"

Xiao Yu, feigning righteous indignation, patted his chest and assured, "Your Majesty, rest assured, within three days I will bring you Ning Fengzhi's head to avenge you!"

The imperial generals, including Golong, also kowtowed and shouted, "We, your humble servants, have dedicated our entire lives to destroying the legacy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, in order to repay Your Majesty!"

Qian Renxue nodded, and after another bout of violent coughing, she reached out and took Xiao Yu's hand, saying, "Palace Master Xiao, the Crown Prince is still young. After I am gone, I hope you will provide him with much support. From this day forward, Palace Master, you will be the Regent of the Tian Tian Dou Empire, and the entire empire will respect you!"

Xue Qinghe's decision did not elicit any opposition from anyone present, not even Golong, who was loyal to the Empire, who felt it was the most correct decision at the moment.

The Crown Prince is still young and needs a powerful backer to secure his throne. Xue Beng and Xue Xing, who are the closest blood relatives in the Tian Dou royal family, have become rebels and are waiting to be beheaded. The remaining royal bloodline members are three generations removed and have neither prestige nor strength. After considering all factors, Xiao Yu, who is seen by outsiders as the Crown Prince's uncle, is the best choice.
