Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"As expected of Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, their resources are much richer than those before them."

Back in the hellish killing field, Tian Hao tallied up his spoils.

He collected all the corpses into his spiritual sea and let the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger devour them, leaving behind the soul bones and storage soul tools. The first thing he looked at was the soul bones.

Those who are forced to seek refuge in the City of Slaughter must be in great trouble. Possessing a soul bone is itself a great trouble, as it will be coveted by countless soul masters, and even close relatives will try to harm you for it.

Hiding in the killing city is a good option.

Moreover, the City of Slaughter has existed for countless years, and the soul bones brought in cannot be taken out. As a result, they have accumulated to a considerable number.

Of course, the enforcement team must have the most soul bones.

Because the bodies of the fallen soul masters who died in the Hell Slaughter Arena were all taken away by the law enforcement team, their soul bones must have fallen into the hands of the law enforcement team.

The great swordsman I faced when I entered the City of Slaughter had six soul bones, but unfortunately, his arm bones were incomplete, only his upper arms were intact. Otherwise, Tian Hao wouldn't have broken his forearm bones.

Each member possesses a complete set of six soul bones, demonstrating the immense wealth of the enforcement team.

The enforcement team has hundreds of members; if they could sweep through the entire enforcement team, they would be rich.

However, this wave of battles that swept through the Soul King and Soul Emperor levels also yielded considerable rewards, totaling more than thirty pieces. That's roughly one piece for every forty people, which is quite impressive.

"They're all low-class scum, what's there to be happy about?"

Bibi Dong looked down on those soul bones; none of them exceeded 30,000 years in age, and there were only three complete ones, so they were useless to her.

"Then I'll keep it for now."

Speechless, Tian Hao put away all the soul bones and storage soul tools, to which Bibi Dong had no objection.

After all, he is the son of Sword Douluo. Even if he seems to have some conflict with Sword Douluo, he will eventually join the Spirit Hall.

That means he's family. Putting it in his pocket is no different than putting it in my own.

"What are your plans for the next move?"

When asked about what was to come, Bibi Dong knew very well that the real test had only just begun.

Because in the next battle at the Soul Saint level, they will not only have to face the Fallen Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level from the City of Slaughter, but also the Enforcement Team.

The enforcement team is far superior to those fallen soul masters, and their sheer numbers, coupled with their seamless teamwork, make them a formidable opponent.

"I can unleash the Ring Explosion and the Great Sumeru Sword, which are equivalent to the level of a Title Douluo."

By revealing his trump card, Tian Hao also knew that those Soul Saints in the enforcement team were not easy to deal with, and he had been prepared for this.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he has never used the Haotian Heavy Sword's soul rings; they are all top-of-the-line and have relatively mild soul power attributes, specifically designed for unleashing the exploding rings.

"who are you?"

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted, and she became alert, even preparing to use the Snow Swan Kiss.

This guy knows the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, but the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Ring are the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect. Although the Spirit Hall also obtained that secret technique, judging from this guy's performance, it seems that he has never met Sword Douluo. Sword Douluo has never mentioned having a son before, so he should not have obtained the Great Sumeru Hammer secret technique from Sword Douluo.

Since it wasn't obtained from Sword Douluo, it could only have been learned from the Clear Sky Sect.

Being able to learn the Great Sumeru Hammer means that one's status within the Haotian Sect is definitely extraordinary.

'The little teacher has finally improved!'

Tian Hao was quite satisfied with Bibi Dong's wariness. He could see that the little teacher had grown increasingly fond of his pseudonym during this time, but this fondness had not made her forget her true identity and stance. This was progress.

"You forgot something when you went out."

Tian Hao took out a teacup and handed it over; this was a token he had specially prepared for his junior teacher to see.

Bibi Dong was taken aback when she saw the familiar teacup. She took it and examined it carefully before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

This teacup looks very ordinary, but the spider pattern on it is quite exquisite and lifelike. It was a birthday gift from her mother when she was a child. It was specially made and is one of a kind in the world.

Because of her mother's death, she had kept it hidden in her boudoir. She didn't bring it with her when she suddenly came out this time. Since the other party could produce this cup, it proves that he is a true ally. All his previous actions were fake. He must have already recognized Sword Douluo. It is even possible that the soul bone on his body was a gift from the Spirit Hall.

Chapter 276 Human Desires

"What brings you to the City of Slaughter?"

Putting the water glass away, Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.

"I can't say for now."

Tian Hao did not respond. Now was not the time to speak. He had to wait until he had exhausted the killing domain and guided Angelic Divine Sense and Qian Daoliu and others to secretly infiltrate.

What do I need to do?

Sensible enough, Bibi Dong didn't press the matter. She could guess that this person had come to the City of Slaughter with a mission, and she needed to cooperate to ensure the mission's success.

"First, cooperate with me to win against the King of Slaughter."

He simply stated that Tian Hao currently had no special arrangements for the junior teacher; they should first clear the challenges set by the King of Slaughter before considering anything else.

"They definitely won't be sending them in batches anymore; they'll most likely gather together for the final showdown."

Without giving it much thought, Bibi Dong stated her judgment, not believing that those people would continue to send them up in batches.

The reason we gave them away before was that some people's soul power level was at its limit. Even if they unlocked the restrictions of higher-level soul rings, it would be difficult for them to improve. If we didn't give them away, the gap between us and the two of them would only widen. It was better to make use of them.

But now there are only three levels of enemies left: Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, and Title Douluo. He and this guy are only Soul Saints. Even if they unlock the restrictions of the eighth and ninth soul rings, it won't improve them much. They can patiently wait until the last day of the three-month period before the final battle.

"The possibility is not small, but I also need time to prepare. Waiting is in our best interest."

Nodding, Tian Hao also guessed that this was the most likely possibility.

Leaving aside those fallen soul masters, the enforcement team is a unified whole. Only when they come together can they unleash their strongest combat power. There's no reason for them to come in different tiers to deliver themselves to their deaths.

"Continue to devour?"

Looking up at the ever-expanding and ever-growing vortex of the Seven Kill Domain, Bibi Dong guessed that her trump card must be related to this.

That domain's devouring power was terrifying; over such a long time, she had absorbed an unknown amount of power, and it seemed she was going to drain the entire City of Slaughter dry.

"You will take care of me from now on. I will devote myself to absorbing and refining the power of the Killing Domain, and strive to raise my Killing God Domain to its ultimate level."

After giving him some instructions, Tian Hao didn't delay. He focused all his attention on controlling the Seven Kill Domain to operate at full capacity, devouring and refining the Killing Domain. He then passed the devoured and refined power through the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Asura Seven Kill Sword to make sure there were no problems before transforming it into killing intent, and then into the power of the Killing God Domain.

Only through multi-level refining and transformation can we be absolutely certain that there are no hidden dangers inside.

But the God of Slaughter Domain is his biggest trump card at this stage.

While Tian Hao was making preparations, Tang Chen, in his capacity as the King of Slaughter, ordered the enforcement team to gather all the fallen soul masters at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo levels and integrate them into the enforcement team in preparation for the final battle.

No one objected to this. They could not defy the invincible King of Slaughter and could only obey his orders and rules, fighting with all their might to kill the Sword Demon Seeking Defeat and strive for that sliver of life.

This is the tragedy and awakening of the weak, especially in a place like the Killing City where the strong prey on the weak!

Tang Chen had no time to pay attention to the reorganization and training of those people. He was standing on the Road to Hell, looking at the blood pool that had been reduced by half, and he was shocked.

He knew that the junior could use the Seven Kill Domain to devour and refine the power of the Killing Domain, but he didn't take it to heart, because the source of the Killing Domain's power was the Blood Pool, which, with its accumulation over countless years, was far beyond what an individual could drain.

But they seem determined to drain it dry. Half of it has already been used up. If this continues, the entire blood pool will be drained in no time, and the killing domain in the killing city will also be unable to be maintained and will disappear.

"He took a different path?"

As if he understood something, Tang Chen asked.

He had been secretly watching the junior and could see the growth of his God of Slaughter domain, but the growth rate was far inferior to the power he had absorbed, making them incomparable.

There is only one reason for this: the quality of its Killing God Domain is higher than that of the Killing Domain. As low-quality energy is converted into high-quality energy, its size must inevitably shrink.

"To be precise, that is the correct direction for the evolution of the God of Slaughter Domain, which you cannot comprehend. Your martial soul is not suitable for the God of Slaughter Domain."

Shura sighed. He was very satisfied with Tang Chen's strength, but it was a pity that the compatibility between his martial soul and his original body was too low.

The Killing God Domain is a weakened version of the Asura Domain, and it needs to be paired with the Asura Sword to unleash its maximum power. It emphasizes killing intent and sharpness.

The Clear Sky Hammer martial soul can bear killing intent, but it is truly unsuitable for sharpness.

Moreover, just as Tang Chen had thought, he discovered that the Seven Kill Sword was more suitable to be the inheritor of the legacy. If it truly became the guardian, it would be able to unleash the power of the Asura God.

It's not that Tang Chen is weak, but rather that he's not suited for it. His original combat methods and systems are difficult to apply to the God of Slaughter Domain; the compatibility is too low.

In comparison, the high priest of Seagod Island and Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall did not have such concerns and could exert their divine power to the limit that they could bear.

This is also the main reason why he doesn't let Tang Chen go out. After all, if a fight really breaks out, Tang Chen might not be able to defeat Poseidon in his current state.

As for Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall, he couldn't say for sure whether the other party had broken through. After all, he also had the inheritance of a god, plus the assistance of the divine realm's mental power, it was not impossible for his soul power to break through to level 100. Moreover, he had a divine artifact over there.

There's no chance of winning a fight, and losing would be embarrassing, so it's better to be a shut-in and train successors.

"If I hadn't been corrupted by the Rakshasa God's power, perhaps..."

Filled with resentment and regret, Tang Chen longed to become a god so he could fulfill his promise and be with Poseidon forever.

Unfortunately, he was ambushed by the Rakshasa God's power and stopped at the eighth divine trial, missing the final divine trial. He became a divine trial guardian like Poseidon. Recalling the promise he made back then, he was too ashamed to face her again.

What a pity, what a hateful thing!

"No need to regret it. The final test is not as simple as you think. Your obsession is too deep. There is no way you can pass the final test perfectly. When you rejected the best successor without regard for the mission left by the original body and the overall situation, you have already completely lost your qualification."

God can have selfish desires, but these must remain within the bounds of control. Your selfishness has exceeded those controls.

The Asura Divine Sense offered a suggestion: if they could persuade the inheritor to cooperate with the divine test of inheritance, things would go much more smoothly; otherwise, there would be some trouble.

"Why did you allow me to be corrupted by the power of the Rakshasa God? If I could have passed the eighth test perfectly, I could have at least become a priest, or even plotted to inherit the legacy of other gods."

Asking the question that had been weighing on his mind for years, Tang Chen couldn't understand why the Asura Divine Sense had just stood by and watched.

Furthermore, he didn't understand why the City of Slaughter, which was clearly the place of inheritance of the Asura God, possessed the divine power of the Rakshasa God, and why the Asura God didn't expel the divine power of the Rakshasa God.

Chapter 277 A Pathetic Pawn

"The inheritance of the God King's position is not as simple as you think. It is not enough for one's own foundation to bear the position, especially for a God King whose true form coexists with the God Realm."

For a mortal to perfectly bear the power of a god and adapt to and control it as quickly as possible, sufficient luck is also required.

Accumulating and spreading faith on one's own is too slow; only by killing powerful beings and plundering their fortune can one perfectly bear the divine power of one's own body.

Therefore, a divine war is bound to break out. The main body also observed the active fortune of this plane a thousand years ago with the help of the power of the central hub of the divine realm. A great era will soon begin, and new gods will be born. The outbreak of a divine war is inevitable.

The war between gods is incredibly brutal and can even destroy the plane of existence. In particular, the god Rakshasa's divine attributes are very suitable for war, and it is difficult for him to stop once he starts fighting.

Therefore, I allowed the Rakshasa divine power to corrupt you, using you to refine a portion of the Rakshasa divine power, thus passing it on to the true inheritor. Even if a new Rakshasa god is born in the future, it will be restrained by my inheritor.

Without concealing anything, the Asura divine sense revealed his true form and his own plans.
