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

Yu Zhenlong walked over and pried a fragment of soul bone off the ice wall, then solemnly uttered a conjecture.

He had long seen that the soul beasts were on guard against their hunting by soul masters. First, the 100,000-year-old soul beasts huddled together, and then the soul rings themselves developed problems, drastically increasing the risk of refining them.

If it weren't for the significant increase in the spiritual power of Soul Masters after the cataclysmic changes in the world, the optimal age of Soul Rings would have to be lowered by one level.

Previously, such measures were only applied to spirit rings, but now it seems that even spirit bones may have been tampered with.

These words made everyone present feel a chill. They had originally hoped to rely on soul bones to quickly improve their soul power level and strength, but now it seemed that this path might soon be unsustainable.

Without enough soul bones, how can they fight against the Spirit Hall?

Just then, a scorching beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, melting the thick glacier above and instantly shooting into the camp, causing a huge explosion that caught everyone off guard, slamming them against the ice wall by the shockwave.

"Angel's Holy Sword! It's Qian Daoliu! Retreat!"

Tang Zhen, the strongest among them, steadied himself and looked over. When he saw the golden holy sword stuck in the pit, his pupils shrank and he roared at Gu Rong.

He had already met his father and knew that Qian Daoliu had also become a level 100 god, and that the enshrined figures of the Spirit Hall had all reached the peak of level 99.

The appearance of the Angelic Holy Sword must mean that Qian Daoliu has arrived.

Tang Zhen's prediction was correct; Qian Daoliu had indeed arrived, and had even been there for some time. However, he had been holding back his attack, waiting for Leng Qing'er to arrive so that he could take revenge while simultaneously staging a scene to make the little ice dragon girl give up on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

A golden light flew down through the hole, and it was Qian Daoliu.

Immediately afterward, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, and the Thousand-Pound Demon-Subduing Brothers descended. Apart from Azure Phoenix Douluo, who was secretly protecting Tian Hao, all the other retainers arrived.

"Angel's Domain!"

The moment he landed, Qian Daoliu unleashed his Angel Domain, disrupting the surrounding space. This caused Gu Rong, who had opened the spatial portal, to change his expression drastically, recalling the fear he had felt when he was dominated by Wuhun City.

Although he was much stronger than before, Qian Daoliu had already become a level 100 god, and his improvement was even greater.

Without Qian Daoliu needing to speak, Golden Crocodile Douluo and his companions decisively launched their attack, setting their sights on the opponent they had already calculated.

Golden Crocodile Douluo charged towards Jade True Dragon, Lion Douluo charged towards Jade Yuanzhen and the others, while Light Feather Douluo focused on Gu Rong and the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, constantly drawing his bow and shooting them.

Prior to this, with the help of the suppression of the Angel Domain, they shot an arrow that pinned Gu Rong to the ice wall, while the Thousand-Pound Demon-Subduing Brothers went to deal with the Title Douluos of the Haotian Sect.

"Tang Xiao!"

Qian Daoliu immediately set his sights on Tang Zhen and his son Tang Xiao, and decisively attacked with the borrowed Angelic Holy Sword.

"Clang!"

The sword blade sliced ​​through the air, cutting off half of the Haotian Hammer head as easily as slicing tofu, causing Tang Zhen to suffer a backlash, with blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to kill Tang Zhen on the spot, a blood-red sword blade suddenly tore through space and blocked the Angelic Divine Sword. Immediately afterwards, a figure stepped out, and a blood-mist-like killing domain swept out, contending with Qian Daoliu's Angelic Domain.

Unfortunately, Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain was empowered by the main artifact, the Angel Holy Sword, which suppressed the Killing Domain.

"Tang Chen, give me back my son's life!"

Seeing the newcomer, Qian Daoliu became even angrier and charged forward with his sword.

That's right, the person who came was Tang Chen. The moment Tang Zhen saw the Angelic Holy Sword, he used the killing domain imprinted on the Clear Sky Hammer to resonate with his father's killing domain, so that it could come to his rescue.

Otherwise, if no one had stopped Qian Daoliu, they would all have died here.

"when!"

Just then, the Asura Demon Sword that Tang Chen had condensed with Asura Divine Power was suddenly knocked away by Qian Daoliu's sword, and Tang Chen himself was blasted away and his body was embedded in the ice wall.

Clearly, in the collision just now, Qian Daoliu unleashed a power that overwhelmed Tang Chen.

Instead of immediately attacking Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu first stored the Shura Demon Sword that had been knocked away into the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm to suppress it, severing his connection with Tang Chen.

Seeing that another Asura Demon Sword had been taken away, Tang Chen's face darkened and he almost couldn't help but curse. However, he was more shocked by the power that Qian Daoliu had unleashed.

In their past encounters, his strength was far superior to Qian Daoliu's. Even in their last clash in the City of Slaughter, Qian Daoliu dared not challenge him in terms of strength.

Now that he has been molded into a divine body by the Asura God, his power has increased more than tenfold. How could he possibly be crushed by Qian Daoliu in terms of power?

Qian Daoliu clearly had no intention of explaining himself to the enemy. After suppressing the Asura Demon Sword, he immediately drew his sword and attacked Tang Chen.

Seeing Qian Daoliu charging towards him, and then looking at his children, grandchildren, and disciples who still couldn't escape, Tang Chen had no choice but to stimulate the Asura Divine Sense that was dormant in the inheritance mark between his eyebrows.

There was nothing he could do. The other party was wielding a divine artifact, while he was unarmed. Furthermore, the Asura Demon Sword had been taken away. Trying to withstand the Angel Holy Sword with his divine equipment alone would be suicidal.

It wouldn't be easy for him to reassemble the Asura Demon Sword using his own abilities; he could only turn to the Asura Divine Sense for help.

The dormant Asura divine consciousness awakened, instantly taking over Tang Chen's body, and expending its primordial power and divine strength to condense a new Asura Demon Sword to block the incoming Angel Holy Sword.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, though it's a long story.

In a clash between the strong, speed is key; victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.

Although the Asura Divine Sense controlling Tang Chen's body is suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth, the power it can unleash is still far stronger than Tang Chen's. Most importantly, it can instantly condense the Asura Divine Power into the Asura Demon Sword.

"when!"

The two swords clashed, and Qian Daoliu unleashed all his power, propelling Tang Chen's body into the ice wall. The hard glacier wall was no stronger than tofu under that force.

As Qian Daoliu departed, the power of the Angelic Domain weakened, and Gu Rong, having freed himself from the ice crystal arrow, was finally able to stabilize the spatial portal.

"Those who can retreat, retreat quickly!"

While maintaining the spatial portal, Gu Rong roared.

Without delay, everyone rushed towards the spatial portal, with Gu Rong immediately pulling Ning Fengzhi to the other side of the portal.

"You want to leave? Did you get my permission?"

Guangling sneered, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the spatial portal opened by the ancient banyan tree. The fluctuations of spatial power were visible on the arrow, clearly indicating that it was an attack capable of influencing space.

"Block his arrow."

Gu Rong, who was proficient in spatial techniques, sensed the fluctuation of spatial power immediately. He looked up and his pupils shrank, and he roared again.

Although the power of that arrow is unknown, it will definitely affect the spatial portal. If the spatial portal malfunctions, everyone in the settlement will die.

Unfortunately, he was severely injured by Guangling Douluo's arrow, and maintaining this extremely long-distance spatial portal was already his limit. He could only rely on the people on the other side to stop him.

However, everyone here is rushing to squeeze into the portal, so who cares about anything else?

Those who were willing to try were tightly entangled and suppressed by Golden Crocodile Douluo and his companions, unable to free themselves and could only watch helplessly as the arrow shot towards the spatial portal.

"Eighth Soul Skill - Mystic Ice Spike!"

At the critical moment, Leng Qing'er stepped forward and used her eighth soul skill to condense a ten-meter-long Xuanbing spike to meet the incoming arrow.

Although Guangling's arrow possessed spatial power, its destructive power was not strong, and Leng Qing'er's eighth soul skill was barely able to block it.

"laugh!"

At this moment, an arrow resembling a spear shot out, piercing Leng Qing'er's waist and abdomen, pinning her to the ground, and freezing her lower body. It was clearly Guang Ling's doing.

Even so, Leng Qing'er still maintained her eighth soul skill to block the arrow. She didn't know if this was the glimmer of hope that Xiao Heizi had mentioned, but it was the only thing she could do now.

At this moment, the disciples of the three sects fought and retreated under the strong attack of Golden Crocodile Douluo and others. Nearly half of the disciples withdrew through the spatial portal after releasing their strongest soul skills. The one who left last was Jade True Dragon, the strongest person present.

"Old Master Yu!"

Ning Fengzhi's mournful cry came from the spatial portal. Yu Zhenlong glanced at Ning Fengzhi's sorrowful, painful, yet resolute eyes, nodded knowingly, and then unleashed a skill from his 100,000-year-old head soul bone.

A beam of lightning shot out from between Leng Qing'er's eyebrows, piercing through her vest and then transforming into terrifying lightning that ravaged her body, turning her internal organs into charred remains. Only after delivering this blow did Yu Zhenlong become the last to retreat into the spatial portal.

Actually, it wasn't the last one, because there were still dozens of unlucky Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples trapped in the ice cave on the other side, separated by a Golden Crocodile Douluo, and they didn't dare to go out at all.

On the other side, Leng Qing'er, whose internal organs had been destroyed by Yu Zhenlong, was stunned for a moment, then smiled sadly.

"The true form of the Ice Dragon!"

No longer hiding, he unleashed his new Martial Soul True Form, transforming into a long, slender, ice-blue divine dragon. He used his soul power to temporarily suppress the raging lightning power within his body. Then, he extended his dragon claws, grabbing the Golden Crocodile Douluo, Lion Douluo, and the four others, and activated the skills of the six soul bones on his body to forcibly freeze the Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others.

Finally, he stared intently at the Light Feather Douluo who was always at the rear, and shouted, "I can't hold on much longer, let's go!"

The dozens of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan members on the other side of the ice cave were overjoyed. They used their soul power to quickly bypass the Golden Crocodile Douluo who was captured and frozen by the dragon claws, and rushed into the spatial portal to leave.

"Take good care of Rongrong!"

After everyone had left, Leng Qing'er turned her dragon head around, her dragon eyes fixed on Ning Fengzhi, who was standing there dumbfounded, until the space portal completely closed and disappeared.

She could understand Ning Fengzhi's actions. Logically, it was impossible for her to escape after being frozen, and she knew too much. The key was the current location of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If they were captured and interrogated, someone as powerful as Qian Daoliu could definitely rush over and kill everyone in an instant. Gu Rong was also severely injured by Guangling Douluo's arrow and would have difficulty returning in time. Killing himself to keep the secret is the best option.

She didn't blame Ning Fengzhi, after all, he had no choice but to do that for the sake of the sect, his clansmen, and Rongrong's safety.

"As expected of a sect leader, he killed his wife without hesitation. How ruthless!"

Guangling flew forward and used his X-ray vision to examine the internal organs of the Ice Dragon's true form, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It's truly beyond saving. Most of his internal organs have been destroyed, and even his spinal cord has been severely damaged. It's far more serious than the ice-freezing injury I suffered from the arrow.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the arrow pierced Leng Qing'er's waist and abdomen; it avoided all her internal organs, so it was at most a superficial wound. Yu Zhenlong's final strike was truly devastating, first piercing and destroying her heart, then her lungs, liver, spleen, and so on.

That was utter destruction; all the organ cells were turned into charcoal, making regeneration and recovery impossible.

However, that's not all. That's a 100,000-year-old soul bone skill, and the power it contains is naturally more than just destroying some internal organs. It's just that Leng Qing'er has temporarily suppressed it with her soul power.

Now that Leng Qing'er has given up on life and death, she no longer suppresses it. The power of lightning not only destroys her Martial Soul True Body and restores it to human form, but also turns her body into charred remains.

"This young couple is quite interesting; one is ruthless and murderous, while the other willingly faces death."

The Demon-Slaying Douluo marveled, finding the couple truly fascinating.

"Why bother?"

With a sigh, Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward and took the charred Leng Qing'er into the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, temporarily sealing her with his blood and qi.

Although the girl's body was almost completely destroyed and she was practically dead, to them she was only half dead.

After all, in the current Spirit Hall, physical death is not true death; the demise of the soul and consciousness is true death.

"He got away again?"

Turning his head to look at Qian Daoliu, who had returned with a gloomy expression, Golden Crocodile Douluo guessed that Tang Chen had probably not been left behind.

That makes sense, though. It would be difficult to stop someone in the true form of a Divine Ring from escaping, especially since the opponent also possesses the divine sense of Asura within their body.

"We suppressed two Asura Demon Swords, so it wasn't a wasted trip."

Qian Daoliu felt that this battle was worthwhile. Although he had let Tang Chen escape earlier, he had managed to knock down and seize the Asura Demon Sword that Tang Chen had reconstituted and suppress it.

The Asura Demon Sword was not simply formed from the power of the Asura God; it also contained a source of power, the source power of the Asura God.

It goes without saying how precious the primordial power of a God-King is; it could be used to create a true god with a divine ring like Tang Chen, or to create a quasi-divine artifact.
