Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

Forgot that Ning Rongrong came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and forgot that her martial soul was the Seven Treasure... uh... Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Forget about the most terrifying ability of this number one support-type martial soul in the world. It is never about fighting alone, but about the heaven-defying boost it provides to its teammates!

Ning Rongrong's astonishing combat power had completely misled him, causing him to subconsciously treat her as a pure offensive Soul Master. This fatal oversight has now brought devastating consequences.

A terrifying, all-encompassing boost was instantly bestowed upon Gu Yuena, and her aura continued to rise.

"not good!"

A warning bell rang in Qian Daoliu's heart, and he could no longer care about Hei Yan or Ning Rongrong.

He had only one thought in mind: he had to immediately interrupt Ning Rongrong's assistance.

If the boost that "makes support-type Soul Masters as powerful as attack-type Soul Masters" were applied to an attack-type or agility-type Soul Master, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He suddenly twisted his body, abandoning Gu Yuena, and rushed straight towards the seriously injured Ning Rongrong.

He was fast, but Gu Yuena was even faster.

Just as Qian Daoliu was turning back, Gu Yuena's figure appeared out of thin air, blocking his path between him and Ning Rongrong.

"If you want to touch her, you'll have to get past me first."

A cold, clear voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuena moved.

Her movements no longer showed any hesitation; the power amplified by Ning Rongrong gave her the ability to confront Qian Daoliu head-on.

Qian Daoliu originally intended to use spatial power to dodge Gu Yuena's attack, just like he dodged Ning Rongrong's attack, but the next moment, he was slammed into the ground.

The power of space had no effect.

Because Gu Yuena also possesses spatial powers, and her spatial powers are even stronger.

In front of Gu Yuena, the spatial power that Qian Daoliu stole was obviously useless.

At most, it would allow Sendou Ryu, who had been shoved into the ground, to quickly adjust his posture and return to the surface.

Just as he returned to the ground, Gu Yuena's next attack began.

Qian Daoliu had no choice but to forcibly reverse his sword's momentum, causing the Angelic Holy Sword to collide violently with the elemental sphere.

Boom!

An explosion more terrifying than any previous collision occurred.

The ruins of the Papal Palace were filled with fragments of pillars and dome scattered everywhere, making it even more terrifying than the scene when the Haotian Sect was destroyed.

This exchange did not determine the winner. Afterwards, the two engaged in dozens of rounds of combat in the confined space.

With her amplified power and spatial ability, Gu Yuena fought Qian Daoliu to a standstill, and even gained the upper hand.

Under the continuous weakening effect of the Nine Treasures Suppression, Qian Daoliu felt powerless with each collision, and the golden light dimmed at a visible speed.

The battle quickly intensified, with both fighters giving their all in every attack, striving to completely crush each other in the next strike.

Finally, the two separated by some distance, panting heavily.

Different energies converged in front of the two people.

The next strike will determine the victor.

Chapter 214 The Third Party

And at that critical moment, just as the two were preparing their final blow, their momentum reaching its peak—

Mutation and regeneration.

A completely different, yet equally vast and terrifying aura descended without warning.

The sudden and powerful appearance of this aura instantly plunged into the heart of the battle between Gu Yuena and Qian Daoliu.

A sea-blue figure appeared out of thin air, and her appearance immediately cut off the attacks of Qian Daoliu and Gu Yuena.

She glanced around, her gaze quickly landing on Gu Yuena. The next moment, she rushed towards Gu Yuena, reaching out as if to grab something.

The incident happened so suddenly that Gu Yuena didn't have time to react.

The hastily erected defenses were quickly breached.

The hand smoothly removed the container holding the black flames from Gu Yuena's body. It was so fast that by the time Gu Yuena reacted, the hand had already appeared some distance behind her.

Now that things had come to this, she finally realized who this person was.

With god-level strength and a target of Black Flame, that naturally means Poseidon, the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Qian Daoliu's throat involuntarily twitched. That familiar figure—who else could it be but Poseidon?

"Poseidon?"

Qian Daoliu's voice was filled with disbelief.

This Holy Spirit Cult leader, whom he had just defeated not long ago, dared to return to the core of the Spirit Hall and even steal the Black Flame while he was fighting Gu Yuena to the death.

Immediately afterwards, a huge question arose in the minds of the three of them.

Why were they completely unaware of Poseidon's arrival?

Logically speaking, even if Ning Rongrong couldn't detect a powerhouse of this level, there's no reason why Qian Daoliu and Gu Yuena wouldn't be able to...

After thinking about it, the group could only come up with a passable answer.

The previous duel had exhausted almost all of their energy and senses, and Poseidon had simultaneously concealed his aura, so the two combined made him undetectable.

If I think about it again, there might be a more suitable reason, but there is no time for that now.

Qian Daoliu wouldn't allow Black Flame to leave the Spirit Hall, Gu Yuena and Ning Rongrong wouldn't allow Black Flame to be taken away by Poseidon, but Poseidon didn't seem very keen on fighting them.

Although it was indeed unnecessary, Qian Daoliu and Gu Yuena were both injured and their strength was far from its peak. This was something that Poseidon already knew when she first arrived and easily detected and passed through the spatial barrier set up by Gu Yuena.

As for the others, not to mention whether they could detect the anomaly here under Gu Yuena's spatial blockade, their strength is completely insufficient to compare with Poseidon, so they are not worth fearing.

In short, if a fight breaks out, it will likely be a one-sided affair.

If Poseidon doesn't want to fight, then she certainly doesn't have to fight the two of them; they can't stop her.

Seeing the two men's eyes filled with a mixture of hatred and helplessness, Poseidon's lips curled into a mocking smile. She even swung the container she had taken from Gu Yuena in front of them as if to show off.

"After much effort and scheming,"

Poseidon's voice carried a sense of composure, even a hint of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

"In the end, this black flame has finally fallen back into the hands of my Holy Spirit Cult. This is the will of Heaven."

Her words struck Gu Yuena and Qian Daoliu hard.

Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, while Qian Daoliu was so angry that his whole body trembled with golden light.

Poseidon seemed quite pleased with their reactions. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield, and casually dropped another bombshell:

“Qian Daoliu, since you’re entangled with her here, the Hall of Worship must be wide open, right? Perfect, it saves me a lot of trouble.”

"you dare!"

Qian Daoliu was struck dumb. If he couldn't defend the Papal Palace and the Temple of Worship, he might as well be dead.

The black flames in the offering hall were his last line of defense.

He struggled to pounce, but his injuries were too severe, making him extremely slow and unable to use his spatial powers smoothly. In the end, he could only let out a low growl.

Upon seeing this, Poseidon's smile deepened, tinged with a hint of mockery:

"Why don't you dare?"

She slowly took another container out of her bosom.

Although Qian Daoliu did not recognize the container, he recognized the contents inside.

A ball of black flame flickered wildly—

The black flames in the offering hall!

Qian Daoliu then realized that Poseidon had acted first and informed him later.

She actually went to the main hall first, and then came here.

The loss to the Hall of Worship is self-evident, given that even the Black Flame has been seized.

"you!"

Qian Daoliu's vision went black; all his ambitions and schemes were utterly shattered in that instant.

Gu Yuena's eyes were also extremely cold.

Poseidon enjoyed the two's spectacular expressions of annoyance. She even had the energy left. With a slight lift of her slender hand, a blue halo containing the power of the sea god spread out, pressing down heavily on Gu Yuena and Qian Daoliu, who were already at their limit, and forcibly suppressing the last bit of resistance they were trying to muster.

Having done all this, Poseidon's gaze slowly swept across the ruins again, trying to find something he had overlooked.

She found it.

Her gaze finally settled on Qian Renxue, who was also unconscious on the ground, and she raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Oh? How did you manage to get our elder into this state?"

Qian Daoliu didn't bother to look over when he heard this.

In his mind, Poseidon was naturally referring to Ning Rongrong.

Gu Yuena was slightly puzzled by these words.

Unlike Qian Daoliu, she knew for certain that Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue were both elders of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The two women were in two different locations, and Poseidon looked around before noticing one place—she only spotted one elder…

She looked in the direction Poseidon was facing, and there stood Qian Renxue.

……OK.

Thinking about it, Gu Yuena's lips curled up slightly.

It seems that failure is not inevitable today.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu belatedly realized what was happening.

He looked around and realized that Ning Rongrong had disappeared sometime earlier.
