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

Even that duchy sent a large army to conquer cities and seize territory, expanding its own territory to the level of a kingdom, and also declared independence, refusing to recognize the legitimacy of Avalanche.

That wasn't the end of it. A video was played in all the cities and towns, showing the scene of Xue Qinghe's ascension to the throne and his assassination by Tang San.

There is also Xue Qinghe's will, which invited the five kingdoms to assist in eliminating the treacherous officials.

This gave the kingdom and duchy a pretext to openly advance their troops. Faced with such a golden opportunity to expand their territory and gain legal independence, the four kings and the grand duke naturally would not miss it.

Not to mention that Xue Qinghe also sent six legions, including their families. Only a fool wouldn't want that.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dou Empire has been internally ruined, so even if they launch an attack, the Heavenly Dou Empire will find it difficult to send troops to punish them.

Once they have absorbed the occupied territories, especially the six major legions, their strength will increase several times over, and they will have nothing to fear.

Faced with simultaneous attacks from the five kingdoms, Avalanche, already overwhelmed by domestic problems, nearly collapsed.

Now, let alone sending troops to punish him, he can't even manage the remaining territory.

Because Xue Qinghe not only secretly emptied the capital's treasury, but also the granaries and treasuries of major cities, transferring all the money, resources, and especially grain to the five kingdoms.

They clearly intend to destroy the Heavenly Empire, becoming a ruler of a fallen kingdom, giving the Haotian Sect no chance whatsoever, so they'll do whatever it takes to annihilate it.

The Tian Dou Empire is now in a complete mess, especially after the royal family was wiped out and Prince Xue Xing was killed. A single avalanche is simply not enough to fix it.

Not long after, famine broke out in half of the country, and Xue Qinghe's arrangements resulted in a large number of refugees being unable to escape and crossing the Tianling Mountains to the Five Great Kingdoms.

There was nothing Xue Qinghe could do to stop the avalanche, because both the four remaining legions and the city guards in the various cities had been rendered useless by Xue Qinghe's secret poisoning. They were so exhausted that they could barely run a few steps without getting out of breath. If they were to fight the starving refugees, it was hard to say who would win.

They might even have their weapons and armor stolen by the disaster victims, and in the blink of an eye, they could be turned into bandits and rebels.

In the end, they could only watch as their people flowed out of the country, were happily taken over by the five great kingdoms, and the population rapidly declined.

Even Haotian Sect and Ning Fengzhi couldn't solve this problem, since they only had so many people, and even if they all went out, they couldn't stop so many people.

And even if you manage to stop them, what then?

They also didn't have enough food to help the disaster victims. Xue Qinghe was too ruthless and too cruel in this regard.

The exodus of a large number of people would naturally lead to the abandonment of large areas of farmland. Without people farming, there would be no food production, creating a vicious cycle.

Tian Dou is currently lacking soldiers, food, and manpower; a complete collapse is only a matter of time.

If it weren't for their fear of the Haotian Sect, the five kingdoms would have already launched a full-scale military campaign to divide up the entire Tiandou region.

Now, Avalanche can only place its hopes on the Tang Clan's hidden weapons, using them to quickly arm an elite army, thereby stabilizing the situation, then reclaiming its territory and destroying the five kingdoms.

What Xue Beng didn't know was that someone had already set their sights on the Tang Clan.

While the Clear Sky Sect focused its attention on the finals in Martial Soul City, a group hidden in the shadows, led by Lian Xuefeng, made their move.

"Is the setup complete?"

In a secluded corner of the Tang Sect, Lian Xuefeng looked at Lin Ziping, who was controlling Yang Wushuang's body as he returned.

She intends to completely annihilate the Tang Clan, leaving no one alive.

To achieve this, the few of them alone are far from enough; they need to rely on some external force, such as—poison!

It just so happens that the Po clan is skilled at making various poisons, including some that can be used on a wide range of scales.

Having acquired the memories of Yang Wudi and his brother, they were naturally able to create it as well.

Since gaining access to the two people's memories, they have been secretly collecting materials and producing a large quantity of poison, all for this day.

"They've all been deployed; they'll cover the entire Tang Clan within an hour."

Looking at the chimneys still emitting smoke in the Tang Clan, Lin Ziping's smile turned sinister.

Tang San, the hatred for their deaths is irreconcilable, not to mention that he also kidnapped and killed their academy and relatives. They will repay this debt tenfold or a hundredfold.

Lian Xuefeng didn't say anything and waited quietly.

The Tang Sect was also aware of the current state of the Heaven Dou Empire, which could be described as extremely bad, on the verge of collapse.

The only way to break the deadlock is to quickly train an elite army using hidden weapons, then break out, cross the Tianling Mountains, retrieve the money and grain that Xue Qinghe had taken, and then destroy the five kingdoms. Only in this way can the Tiandou Empire be saved.

Only when the Heaven Dou Empire is stable can the Tang Clan have a good life.

The Power Clan risked their lives for this, working in two shifts, 24 hours a day, day and night, to forge and create one hidden weapon after another.

Once the new legion on the other side of the avalanche is recruited and formed, we will send over the hidden weapons, mainly the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

Even the Yu clan was brought in to assist, while the Min clan was responsible for patrolling the Tang Clan to prevent enemies from infiltrating.

However, the Min clan was severely damaged back then, and even after all these years, they still only have Bai He as a titled Douluo, and the rest have reached the Soul Saint level at most, so it is naturally difficult for them to detect Lian Xuefeng's infiltration.

Lin Ziping then sealed the prepared medicine into the charcoal, and used the furnace used by the Tang Clan to ignite the medicine, turning it into poisonous smoke that spread outwards.

Because the Tang Clan had been forging in shifts for days, smoke and dust had long since filled the entire Tang Clan. In addition, the smell of the smoke and dust further masked the smell of the poisonous fumes, and everyone unknowingly inhaled the poisonous fumes.

Lian Xuefeng, who was waiting, suddenly frowned. Then, ripples spread through the space beside him, and four figures walked out from them. The first one was Shen Xinshui, who was controlling Yang Wudi's body.

The three people behind were familiar to both Xue Feng and Lin Ziping; they were none other than Jiang Zhu and the other two from Lanba Academy.

"I just discovered that they are digging up the royal tombs of the Tiandou royal family."

Shen Xinshui replied, her expression somewhat strange.

He was previously in charge of monitoring the ruins of Tiandou City when he unexpectedly discovered these three people robbing a tomb.

Because they were allies, they approached and inquired, learning that the three's purpose was also aimed at the Heaven Dou Empire, the Tang Sect, and the Haotian Sect.

They hit it off immediately and brought three people to join the plan.

I've heard about the tragedy that befell the Xingluo Division. My condolences.

Lian Xuefeng sighed softly, feeling a sense of shared misfortune for the three, especially for Jiangzhu.

She was a sensible person and could naturally see that Jiangzhu liked that person, but this person had the same fate as her, and all the people she loved had been killed, all by the Haotian Sect.

"Those medicinal herbs and elixirs are being cultivated very well. Don't forget to come and collect them on time!"

Jiangzhu nodded sadly to Lian Xuefeng and then mentioned the deal they made back then.

Although their senior has passed away, they will keep the promise he made.

"I need the lives of Tang Clan members to cultivate. I can cripple them, but I must be the one to finish them off."

Even Xuefeng nodded, and at the same time stated his requirements for this plan.

Since Jiangzhu and the other two have come, they naturally have to join the plan. However, she needs to use the lives of the Tang Clan members to cultivate the Hegemony of the World.

Jiangzhu glanced at Emperor Xueye, who was standing behind Lian Xuefeng and shrouded in crimson blood mist, and nodded in understanding.

"Your remains are mine!"

The usually taciturn Jingling suddenly spoke, saying that he needed more corpses to complete the Bone Throne.

Previously, the two imperial tombs of the Tiandou royal family in New Tiandou City and Xuefeng City were hollowed out one after another, and the bones inside were collected and melted into the White Bone Throne. The burial objects were also collected.

But that's not enough; he needs even more Soul Master corpses, the more the better!

The next target is the imperial mausoleum of the Star Luo royal family!

“I can’t give you those three clan chiefs, I still have a use for them, but I can get the location of their family’s ancestral tombs from their memories.”

Lian Xue did not refuse. She knew that this person's martial soul was a skeleton, and he wanted the soul master's corpse for cultivation.

However, they had already reserved the bodies of the three Titans and could not give them to them.

Jingling didn't say much about it, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Thus, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement, which was also the condition for their initial alliance with that person. In terms of targeting the Haotian Sect, they were in an offensive and defensive alliance.

The effects of the poisonous smoke soon became apparent, and the members of the three races noticed the anomaly, especially the three Titans.

"Enemy attack! Alert!"

A roar echoed throughout the Tang Sect. It was Titan who roared, even unleashing his Martial Soul True Form, transforming into a ten-meter-tall mighty gorilla, scanning the surroundings menacingly.

Niu Gao also unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, transforming into an equally enormous plate-armored giant rhinoceros.

Bai He also unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, but unlike Titan and Niu Gao's Martial Soul True Forms, his Martial Soul True Form was a miniaturized form, transforming into a pointed-tailed swift with a body length of only one meter and a wingspan of only one and a half meters.

Although their size has shrunk, their speed has increased dramatically because smaller size means less air resistance and greater agility.

After unleashing its true spirit, the white crane did not hover but flew at an extremely fast speed above the Tang Sect, searching for the intruders. It also used its eighth spirit skill to split into five to accelerate its search.

Since the other party has secretly poisoned us, there will inevitably be follow-up actions.

Because that kind of poison is not fatal; it only makes people's muscles and bones weak and unable to exert force.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation level, the weaker the effect. The three of them neutralized the poison by simply circulating their soul power, but this made them even more uneasy.

Since the other party could use such an unknown poison, they must have other deadly tricks up their sleeve.

The speed of the white crane, which has reached the level of a titled Douluo, is indeed very fast. Even though the Sharp-Tailed Swift is only a high-level martial soul, with all its soul rings being speed-type enhancements, it is unmatched in speed among its peers.

But that's just pure speed. Some forces naturally transcend speed, such as space and time.

The white crane, who was searching at high speed, suddenly felt its body freeze, and even its consciousness and thoughts almost froze. Then it felt a pain in its shoulder and its body was pierced through.

However, his eighth soul skill is quite special. Not only can it generate four clones, but it can also switch between the main body and the clones at any time, using the clones to absorb damage, which is equivalent to having four extra lives.

The moment it was injured, the white crane switched its main body with a clone.

Before he could react, his shoulder was pierced again.

Left with no other choice, he could only continue to exchange with his clones. This happened four times in a row. Only after all four clones were pierced by the opponent did Baihe return to his two friends with a pale face.

"It's the Soul-Breaking Spear. Old Goat and the others are back."

He said solemnly, although he hadn't seen who made the move, he was very familiar with the soul power of that Soul-Breaking Spear, and it must have been the Yang brothers.

Those two not only survived Dugu Bo's poisonous skills, but also came back to take revenge on them.

Upon hearing the words "Soul-Breaking Spear," Titan and Niu Gao felt a chill in their hearts, equally surprised that the Yang brothers had survived Dugu Bo's clutches.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and the three turned their heads to see a burly figure walking towards them with a spear in his hand. He was wearing a cloak, but they were absolutely certain that the spear in his hand was the Soul-Breaking Spear!

At that moment, footsteps sounded from the other side, and a figure dressed identically approached, also carrying a Soul-Breaking Spear.

It was Yang Wudi and his brother, or rather, Shen Xinshui and Lin Ziping, who were controlling the two.

That wasn't all. Two more figures approached, clad in armor that completely covered their bodies.

"Blue Tyrant Academy!"

Upon seeing the two figures clad in armor, Titan's pupils constricted, realizing something was amiss.
