Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"Silong, once the Spirit Empire wipes out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, no matter what form your surrender took now, it will become a true surrender then, won't it?"

Si Long had to admit that Hu Liena was right. If the Spirit Hall could truly unify the continent, no matter how much he resisted, it would be useless. The Blacksmith Association had to consider leaving themselves a last resort in the event of the Spirit Empire's victory.

Without further hesitation, Si Long bowed and said, "Your Highness, Elder Judge, Si Long is willing to surrender."

Hu Liena nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, from now on, I will incorporate you and your Blacksmith Association into His Majesty the Holy Dragon Legion, responsible for arming his 15,000 Soul Masters and 100,000 troops. The Soul Masters will focus on making armor, and the troops will focus on forging weapons. Is that alright?"

"Yes, Silong accepts the order!" Now that he had agreed to surrender, Silong would not easily go back on his word.

Unless one day in the future the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School defeats the Spirit Empire and his mentor Lou Gao comes to take him back, he will have to spend the rest of his life serving the Spirit Empire. At least in this way, he can preserve the last bit of strength of the Blacksmith Association.

Chapter 502 The Responses of Tian Dou and Xing Luo

Hu Liena's ability to persuade Si Long impressed Qian Renxue.

"This sly fox is really something else. Her method of persuading people to become fence-sitters is simply unheard of."

Qian Renxue had to admit that although this method was bizarre, it was indeed useful for people like Si Long. He was not strong and would not have access to any secrets of the Martial Soul Empire. He could just stay in Gengxin City and forge weapons. Whether he surrendered wholeheartedly or not was not important.

Once the Martial Soul Empire unifies the world, no matter how unwilling he is now, he will have no choice but to accept his fate.

Moreover, deep down, Qian Renxue did not want to destroy the Blacksmith Association. As an ambitious person, unifying the continent was not the end of the matter. How to develop after unification was also a matter that those in power needed to consider.

Qian Renxue had an idea: to improve people's lives, simply focusing on how to make Soul Masters stronger wasn't enough, since ordinary people weren't Soul Masters and couldn't cultivate.

The thing that can help ordinary people, using a term she had heard from Tianlin, is called technology.

She plans to launch a soul tool development project once the mainland is unified. Most of the soul tool manufacturing techniques have been lost, and the only ones that remain are some methods for making storage soul tools.

She wanted to develop more useful soul tools to help people farm, build structures, and even enable ordinary people to fly and teleport like soul masters.

To achieve this level of skill, the combined power of craftsmen and soul masters is essential for success.

"Elder Judge, what do you think of my arrangements for President Si Long? Are they feasible?" Hu Liena asked Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue nodded. "Let's do as you say, Silong. Before the continent is unified, you should stay in Gengxin City and forge weapons. Don't have any wicked thoughts."

"Tuoba hope, lead your Holy Dragon Legion to temporarily garrison Gengxin City. Although the Star Luo Empire doesn't value this place that much, it won't let us get this territory just like that. You need to be prepared for a major battle. This time we are launching a surprise attack, and we haven't brought many people. I will return to the Martial Soul Empire now and send reinforcements."

"Yes!" Tuoba hope replied.

After the three members of the Golden Generation and Qian Renxue left, he sighed heavily. He admitted that the Judgement Elder and the Holy Maiden were very powerful, but they had inadvertently made things easier for Tianlin.

Subjugating the Blacksmiths' Association and arming his Holy Dragon Legion—what's the difference between that and aiding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the enemy? After all, his true leader is Tianlin!

Two days later, inside the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace.

A domineering and majestic man gazed at the assembled officials, his immense soul power pressing down on them so that they dared not raise their heads. He was none other than the Star Luo Emperor, Dai Tianjue, the father of Dai Mubai and Davis.

The Star Luo Royal Family is different from the Heaven Dou Royal Family. The Heaven Dou Royal Family's inherited martial soul is the harmless swan. Emperor Xue Ye is nearly sixty years old, but he is only a Soul Master with a soul power of level forty-six.

If it weren't for his status as emperor, his position would be no different from that of a master.

But the Star Luo Emperor is different. Possessing the top-tier martial soul, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, he is a powerful figure who wields both strength and status.

“Speak up! Why is no one speaking? On the very first day of the Martial Soul Empire’s founding, I ordered that their every move be monitored. And yet, you all, Gengxin City was captured, but I only received the news two days later,” Emperor Xingluo said, enunciating each word clearly.

Seeing his state, the courtiers knew he was on the verge of exploding, so they all knelt on the ground and dared not speak.

“Father, please calm your anger. Gengxin City is not in the heart of our Star Luo territory, but on the edge. The Spirit Hall’s surprise attack tactics are truly difficult to defend against. However, from this, we can also be certain that they want to cut off a major weapons supply line for our country first, and then use Gengxin City as a base to slowly advance into our heartland. The most urgent task is to send a large army to retake Gengxin City as soon as possible.” Davis stepped forward and said. He had defeated Dai Mubai and was now the Crown Prince of Star Luo. In the past few years, his soul power had also improved considerably. He was a Soul Emperor of level 68, only slightly inferior to the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

"How many troops are currently stationed in Gengxin City?" The Emperor looked down at a minister with a majestic gaze. This minister was in charge of intelligence. If he couldn't answer the question today, he would lose not only his official position but also his life. In Xingluo, there was no force that could rival the Emperor; it was a one-man show.

The official knelt down tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, I have investigated and found that Gengxin City is currently being defended by Tuoba hope, the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect. The Holy Dragon Legion has a total of 15,000 Soul Masters and 100,000 elite soldiers."

He breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the emperor asked about something he knew; otherwise, his life would have been in grave danger.

“One hundred thousand troops are not worth mentioning, but those fifteen thousand soul masters are a bigger problem.” Dai Tianjue said in a low voice. Although their Star Luo military strength far exceeded that of Heaven Dou, their soul master strength was inferior. All the large and small soul master sects chose to establish themselves in Heaven Dou because of Star Luo’s policy of being the only one to rule.

Only about eight thousand Soul Masters have joined the royal family and reached the combat standard. After deducting those stationed in various places, the number that can form an army to fight is at most three to four thousand. Such strength is far inferior to that of the Spirit Hall.

"Father, the saying goes, 'Attack when there are five, surround when there are ten.' It is unwise to clash head-on with the Soul Master Legion. Your son suggests that it is most appropriate to send an army of 500,000 to launch a fierce attack and use human wave tactics to break through the Soul Master Legion," Davis suggested.

Dai Tianjue nodded. "My son is right. Are you willing to take command and fight alongside Zhu Yun against the Martial Soul Empire?"

"Your subject is willing to go." Davis immediately knelt down to receive the imperial decree. This was a great opportunity to seize military power, how could he possibly let it go?

"Father, I have another suggestion. Didn't the Grandmaster of the Heavenly Dou Empire come here before? He suggested that they deal with most of the Spirit Hall's Spirit Master Legion, while we only need to deal with the army. Now the time has come to formally form an alliance. Please send an envoy to negotiate with them."

"Alright, don't worry, Father will handle it." Dai Tianjue accepted Davis's proposal in its entirety. Although he was very confident in the strength of his country, he knew that anyone who could sit in such a high position was no idiot.

As strong as Xingluo is, it's a fact that they can't defeat the Spirit Hall; they must join forces with Tiandou.

Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Empire, in order to fight against the Spirit Hall's Spirit Master Legion, Grandmaster and Titan were diligently training the Tang Family Army, a hidden weapon legion.

The Grandmaster of today is completely different from before. His eyes are filled with gloom because Tang San, whom he regarded as the only hope to prove his theory, died at the hands of the Royal Fighting Team. Now, his hatred for the Royal Fighting Team and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School far exceeds that for the Spirit Hall.

He not only intends to use this army of hidden weapons to destroy the Spirit Hall, but also to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Chapter 503 Drawing the Asura Demon Sword

While training the army, the master went to the foundry. In order to fight against the Spirit Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Titan had been staying at home and forging hidden weapons here.

Among the Tang Clan's hidden weapons, he has already made some medium-level hidden weapons. However, the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, and the Peacock Feather are extremely difficult to make. Not only are the manufacturing processes complex, but the materials required are also extremely rare.

Fortunately, this is the imperial palace, and quite a few rare materials were found in the treasure pavilion. Titan plans to go to the Haotian Sect after this batch is finished and ask them to use their Haotian Hammer to help refine the ore.

"Mr. Titan, how's your review of the blueprints for the Ice and Fire Meteor Needle coming along?" Yu Xiaogang asked as he stepped forward.

"Master, you've arrived. Please have a seat." Titan hurriedly stepped forward to greet the master, after all, he was his young master's teacher.

"We have made progress on the Ice and Fire Meteor Needle. According to the young master's notes, this Ice and Fire Meteor Needle may be a super hidden weapon with power no less than the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle. Moreover, it is simple to make, but it is not listed in the Tang Clan's hidden weapon manual because it is almost impossible to make. The materials used are too special. I just didn't expect that you, Master, would have it."

After Titan finished speaking, he looked at the two peculiar minerals on the table. One was as red as fire, and the other was as white as ice. In this world, only Tianlin and the dead Tang San could probably recognize these two stones.

Their names are Sunlight Crystal Soul and Frostheart Ice Soul. It is said that these are treasures that only have a one in a thousand chance of being produced in places where heat and cold converge at the same time. They are also the main materials for forging the Ice and Fire Meteor Needle. However, places where heat and cold converge at the same time are rarely seen, so no one in the Tang Sect has been able to reproduce them in the past few hundred years. They do not know their power and therefore cannot be ranked. So Tang San wrote in his notes that they might be no less powerful than the Rain of Pear Blossom Needle.

The master explained, "I just happened to be there. I originally planned to give this material to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in exchange for Ma Hongjun's freedom so that he could assist Xiao San. But now that Xiao San has been murdered, Ma Hongjun is of no value anymore."

"Speaking of which, this is a sin committed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School itself. These two stones were sent by their Medicine Hall Elder, Dugu Bo, as a thank-you gift to Prince Xuexing for saving his life."

"He didn't know what it was for, so he just gave it away as a pretty stone. He was incredibly stupid."

"Hehe, doesn't this give us hope? As long as one Ice-Fire Meteor Needle appears, it can definitely kill at least one Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Spirit Hall. And that person should preferably be Bibi Dong or Jun Tianlin," Titan said excitedly.

The fire and ice poison contained in the Ice and Fire Meteor Needles are far more powerful than Dugu Yan's ice and fire power. No matter how profound one's soul power is, it cannot be activated if the person hit by the needles is hit.

Moreover, he deduced that with the hardness of the Sun Radiance Crystal Soul and the Frost Heart Ice Soul, they would be barely enough to pierce through the body defenses of a Title Douluo.

However, using the ice and fire power within these two extraordinary stones to refine them into poison is a rather unwise approach. If these two ores were in the hands of Lou Gao, who had mastered the Shu Mountain smelting techniques, they would have many more ingenious uses.

The master stood up and said, “There’s no time to lose, Titan. You continue to mass-produce medium-grade hidden weapons here. I’ll send the ore to the Haotian Sect now. Only Tang Xiao’s Haotian Hammer can polish these two stones. Once this batch of hidden weapons is finished, you should also come to the Haotian Sect as soon as possible.”

“Yes,” Titan replied.

After leaving the palace, the master first returned to Shrek Academy, where he invited Liu Erlong and Flander to accompany him, as his current status was so high that he needed protection when traveling.

However, he felt the Soul Emperor bodyguards assigned to him by the royal family were insufficient, so he specifically summoned his two personal Soul Douluos. With the combined strength of this golden trio, their power was enough to rival that of a Title Douluo.

In fact, Flanders had already retired and didn't want to get involved in these matters anymore, but the master was his longtime friend, and he couldn't refuse such a small request.

As the three left Tiandou City, three pairs of eyes were already fixed on them.

The first pair came from the Clear Sky Sect. This was arranged by Tang Yuehua. In order to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall fight each other, she needed a fuse, and that fuse was Grandmaster.

The second pair is Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was sent by Evil Sword Immortal to take away Master. However, he did not expect that Master always travels with Flander and Liu Erlong. Now, he is no match for the Golden Sacred Dragon, not to mention that there are people from the Clear Sky Sect secretly following them. He can't find an opportunity to make a move at all, and can only wait for the right moment to strike.

The third pair was Bai He from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He was the most secretive. While others didn't notice him, he could see the Clear Sky School and Chrysanthemum Douluo clearly.

"The sect leader was right after all. A mere level 29 Great Soul Master has managed to attract the attention of all three of our major forces. Even if he dies, it will be an honor!" Bai He said.

He then vanished in a flash, leaving the area. There was no need for him to keep a close watch on things for the time being. Tianlin and Ning Fengzhi had already roughly guessed what Haotian Sect and Evil Sword Immortal would do next, so they decided to let them have their fun.

They can just step in and intercept something when the time comes.

Meanwhile, on Poseidon Island, after several days of rest, Ning Rongrong finally began her seventh trial, drawing out the Poseidon Trident.

Tianlin didn't go this time. After all, it was the temple of the Sea God. What would he, the successor of the Asura God, do there? Besides, Rongrong wouldn't be in any danger this time.

"Now that Rongrong's seventh test has begun, it's time for me to begin mine as well." Tianlin flew away from Seagod Island on his sword and landed on a nearby uninhabited island.

He wanted to pull out the Asura Demon Sword here, because the Asura Demon Sword was too malevolent and would surely harm innocent people if it were in the city.

Activating the soul tool on his belt, the Asura Demon Sword, still in its scabbard, appeared before Tian Lin. His mission this time was to draw this sword.

Tianlin held the sword sheath in his left hand and the sword hilt in his right. In that instant, the Killing God Domain was released uncontrollably, and all the birds and beasts around, as well as the sea spirit beasts in the sea, were immediately frightened away from the island.

Other soul bone armors besides the breastplate also appeared on Tianlin's body.

"As expected of a legendary artifact, it amplified the power of your God of Slaughter Domain to its limit even before it was unsheathed, and forced out your Soul Bone Armor as well," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed.

Tianlin channeled his full soul power into his right hand and drew the Asura Demon Sword with all his might. The crimson light gradually peeked out from the gap between the scabbard and the blade.

Back then, Tang Chen spent three whole days trying to draw this sword, and he still hadn't fully gained its approval.

But when Tianlin made his move, the divine sword slowly came out of its sheath. This was because Tang Chen originally used a hammer, which is a blunt weapon and not very suitable for a sharp weapon like a sword. If the Asura God hadn't been unable to find anything better, he wouldn't have chosen Tang Chen.

But Tianlin is different. He is a master swordsman, and his current strength is in no way inferior to Tang Chen's back then. Therefore, the Asura Demon Sword clearly prefers him.

"Come out!" Tianlin roared, unleashing his full soul power. With a 'whoosh', the sword and scabbard finally separated completely.

Centered on the small island, the sky within a radius of a thousand miles turned blood red at this moment, with blood-red clouds covering the sky.

"Jun Tianlin, the seventh test of the Asura God, drew the super artifact Asura Demon Sword and passed. Increased the affinity of the Asura God by 20%, now it is 90%!"

Chapter 504 The Eighth Trial of the Asura God and the Sea God

In the realm of gods, the Asura God was overjoyed to find that his Asura Demon Sword had a new master. "Haha, it gained the Asura Sword's approval in just one go. It truly lives up to its reputation as my successor."

Tianlin's gaze swept over the Asura Demon Sword, feeling its immense divine power. "It's a truly terrifying weapon. I feel that if I were to use this sword, my combat power would far exceed when I used the Demon Sword, except that I wouldn't have any soul skills."

“Xiao Tian, ​​that’s because your Demon Sword is still only in the Martial Soul state, and it’s limited by your own cultivation level. Actually, I can sense that the Demon Sword’s potential is even greater than that of the Asura Demon Sword. You’ll understand when you become a god and transform the Demon Sword into a super artifact,” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said.

Tianlin smiled and said, "I know, there's no rush. Besides, ordinary super artifacts don't suit my taste. I have the Meteor Dragon Divine Iron and the Nine Luminaries Spirit Soul. As long as I find the Demon Suppressing Sword, I can reforge the Divine Demon Sword. Forging the Divine Demon Sword requires a sacrifice of sufficient cultivation level. That sacrifice can be an immortal item or something with deep malevolent energy. I was originally troubled by this, but now I have a solution. I'll ask the Asura God for help. Anyway, after he gives me his divine position, he will completely sever his karmic ties with the Asura Demon Sword. A new Asura God should have a new artifact. He shouldn't mind, right? If he doesn't agree, I'll have to think of other ways."

"You...you want to sacrifice the Asura Sword?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was shocked. Using a super artifact as a sacrifice? Could a human do something so heinous? Most people wouldn't even dare to think about it.

The Asura God of the God Realm suddenly shivered involuntarily. His Asura Demon Sword had just found a new and good master, which was a time to celebrate. Why did he feel so uneasy?

Tianlin retrieved the Asura Demon Sword, and the card for the Eighth Trial of Asura appeared.

The eighth trial of the Asura God: Level up to 99, time limit: five years!

Tianlin was right after all. Because his Asura God test did not have a high priest, he had to reach level 99 first, just like Bibi Dong, to inherit the godhood. He could not achieve it in one step like the Sea God and the Angel God.

If the Rakshasa God had a guide, Bibi Dong would probably have become a god long ago.

He flew back to Seagod Island on his sword. Because the power of the Asura God had not completely dissipated, the sky was still covered by blood clouds, and the people on Seagod Island were filled with fear.
