Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 641 Shui Xiye's true identity is exposed; Chen Junting goes to the Battle Spirit alone (Part 2)

As each figure appeared, the surroundings, which had previously been devoid of any aura, began to radiate with power. Ning Tian, ​​Ye Xuanji, Gu Tianchen, Zhi Yong… Except for Ning Tian, ​​none of them had a cultivation level below 98. There was even a controlled, tyrannical bone dragon with the same extreme combat power.

Clearly, if Niu Tian doesn't sign the contract, he'll only face a brutal beating from the crowd and never be able to leave the undead demiplane. Of course, even if he forcibly breaks through his sealed cultivation, he'll still be met with a host of gods who have been watching closely.

"You just betrayed Sect Master Niu Tian like that?"

After a brief exchange, everyone dispersed. Once only the two of them remained, Ning Tian, ​​who knew the inside story, approached Chen Junting with a strange expression.

Hearing Ning Tian's teasing, Chen Junting smiled and said.

"He did it voluntarily."

"That was a trap you set for him, you're really wicked." Ning Tian shook his head, as if he didn't want to say anything more. But looking at the smile on her lips, one could tell that she didn't mean what she said.

What ancient golden tree, what spirit of another dimension…

Tsk tsk tsk——

The unsuspecting Sect Master Niu Tian is truly pitiful!

Meanwhile, in the realm of gods, the God of Destruction and the God of Life, who had been observing the situation after receiving the notification, were in a state of observation.

"Absolutely audacious! Absolutely audacious!"

Within the Forest of Life, the God of Destruction unleashed his fury!

Even the abundant life force surrounding them couldn't extinguish the ever-surging destructive power. As for the Goddess of Life, she was also indignant at Tang San's actions, and for a moment, she even overlooked the eruption of destructive power.

"He actually dared to let two high officials stay in the lower realm! Does he really think the Douluo Continent is his Sea God's private domain?!"

The God of Destruction roared, his eyes, hidden beneath the purple cloak, gleaming with blood-red light. He never imagined that the Sea God would be so rampant in abusing his power for personal gain.

Despite his anger, he still had to remain calm and not take any action.

Since Tang San's actions have already shown signs of happening in the open, it means there's even more "dirty" stuff going on behind the scenes.

He needs to uncover all of these things—no, perhaps just enough for him—so that he can wait for the right opportunity to directly challenge the Sea God. But equally, he must ensure that the difference in strength and influence between the two sides is not too small.

After all, Poseidon isn't the type to sit idly by and wait to be defeated. If we don't use overwhelming force to crush him in one fell swoop, who knows what other unexpected trouble might arise? So the safest approach is to wait, to wait for someone capable of breaking the stalemate between the two sides.

"Almost there, almost there..."

Thinking of Chen Junting, the God of Destruction's emotions calmed down. He had waited this long for the development of the divine realm; what was a few more days to make a difference?
……

Inside a secret chamber within Haotian Fortress, Niu Tian and a slightly apprehensive Titan entered together. Just as golden light began to illuminate the surroundings and coalesced into a human form at the center, Niu Tian's voice rang out somewhat abruptly, "I failed."

"What!?"

As if hearing something unbelievable, the golden light trembled, and a surprised voice seemed to come from all directions.

"You failed!?"

Even though Niu Tian's cultivation level was suppressed to below the god level, his god-level spiritual power and physique, as well as the highest quality soul power of the same level, gave him the greatest deterrent power in the mortal realm.

Even with all this, can't we still bring Xiaoqi back?

Are you kidding me?

"Da Ming, I demand an explanation."

His tone suddenly turned cold, and his posture shifted from that of an equal to that of a superior. "Why couldn't you bring Xiao Qi back with your abilities? Is it because you're truly incapable, or... was it an oversight?"

Don't you even call me "brother" anymore?

But that's normal; he's used to it.

After a moment of silence, Niu Tian fixed his gaze on the restless Titan. "I lack the ability." He exhaled a breath of stale air. "I was defeated by that successor of the Rakshasa God. He was very strong, but he was basically unharmed afterward. But... I am."

He stated the facts without any additional emotional fluctuation. It was as if he himself had not been defeated by Chen Junting.

"Tang San's words are too serious."

Having confirmed that Niu Tian's words were not false, Tang San offered a perfunctory apology. He then changed the subject, "In that case, I'll trouble you two brothers to join forces."

"Or not."

Unexpectedly, Niu Tian shook his head and refused.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is too powerful, and that young man can still contact Di Tian. Considering all these factors, even if the entire sect were to send out its full force, it would be difficult to bring Xiao Qi back to the sect."

Is this still the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School he remembers?

The golden light carrying Tang San's divine sense flickered, undoubtedly revealing the turmoil in his mood. He truly hadn't expected that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School could develop to this point so rapidly. Was this the destiny of the chosen one?
If only I could come to the Tang Clan before him…

Then the declining Tang Clan might be able to revive!

What a pity, what a pity.

In any case,

Ultimately, Huo Yuhao must be in my own hands.

Having stopped pondering, the golden light gradually dissipated. Without giving Niu Tian and Titan a chance to answer, Tang San simply left with the final words, "Then you two can leave this matter alone."

When the light and shadow completely disappeared, the secret chamber returned to peace, and then the Titan, who had been silent all along, spoke.

"Big brother, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School really dares to do that..."

"Er Ming!"

A rebuke stopped him from finishing his sentence.

"If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. What else do you want to do? Besides, it was Xiaodong's own decision, so it's not exactly in the right."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the secret room.

At that moment, a glint flashed in Titan's eyes.

He probably realized that his elder brother, who hadn't told him the truth since returning to the sect, must be hiding something.

As for whether he will voice this speculation...

Titan turned around and followed immediately.

What a joke! Big Brother would never make a mistake.

Almost a minute after they left, a golden light flashed silently, then fell silent.

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, a wisp of divine consciousness returned to Tang San's body. This invigorated him, and his movements unconsciously slowed, only to stop abruptly as he frowned. "How could it be the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

As he pondered, he recalled a message that the God of Fire, the God of Light, and the God of Space—three of the seven elemental gods—had recently told him. They had chosen successors to their divine positions, and all three were located in the Douluo Continent.

Those three successors were all from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Add one more, Emotion, and Cupid, and that makes a total of six. By that calculation, their future power will be considerable."

Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't resist using the divine sense he had left within Wang Dong'er to personally investigate the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's information and situation. What he found shocked him! Overall, they had surpassed the Shrek Seven Devils of yesteryear; it was just a pity they didn't possess a God-King level divine position.

If we calculate it this way...

"Will they be easily controlled after they ascend to the realm of gods?"

At this moment, Tang San lost confidence in his previous judgments. Because if one could be the leader, who would want to be the subordinate?

It seems I'll have to be more careful in the future.

Especially since that guy, the God of Destruction, is also paying attention.

But now that inheritor of the Rakshasa God's position has already reached level ninety-nine, and his mental and physical strength are extremely powerful. Presumably, he is close to succeeding in inheriting the Rakshasa God's divine position.

Now, "we have to speed up Xiaoqi no matter what."

Let's use Xiao Qi to keep the chosen one in check first.

As Tang San's thoughts raced through his mind, time in the mortal realm naturally accelerated its passage.

For example, right now, Chen Junting suddenly learned some news that shocked him, but didn't seem strange at all.

"Just recently, Shrek Academy decided to send Mingfeng Douluo to the Douling Empire, seemingly to discuss and reach some cooperation with Shui Xiye, the Supreme Elder of the Tianhun Empire."

It turned out that when Chen Junting's cultivation was at a standstill, he approached Sect Master Ning Bowen to discuss finding a suitable time to gather all the major forces, announce the method of creating artificial soul bones, and discuss how to widely publicize his titles as the "founder" of the soul spirit method, the creator of artificial soul rings, and the developer of artificial soul bones.

Because he needs to start collecting faith and consolidating divine authority.

who ever thought,
But they learned this news from the sect leader.

Water lily?
If you reverse the name, it becomes Ye Xishui.

So Chen Junting told Ning Bowen about this possibility. However, Ning Bowen dismissed it.

"Actually, when we first learned of this person's name, we did have some doubts. But according to Poison Undying of the Body Sect, the reason why their Heavenly Soul Empire was unable to continue its operations was because of his fight with Shui Xiye. The martial soul that Shui Xiye displayed was also the Phoenix of Light. Since her martial soul is the Phoenix of Light, how could she possibly be an evil soul master?"

"After all, once the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul is also cultivated to this level and a Martial Soul is added, it will definitely cause the Bright Phoenix and her own Evil Martial Soul to clash. In this case, at best, she will be severely injured, and at worst, she will die in the conflict."

As Ning Bowen recounted the story, Chen Junting, upon hearing that "her martial soul is the Phoenix of Light," became 100% certain that the person was definitely "Ye Xishui," and there was no doubt about it.

He was wondering, where did Ye Xishui go?
Unexpectedly, they had been hiding in the Douling Empire all along.

So, besides "Ye Xishui", "Zhongliwu" and the Demon Queen, who have been silent since attacking the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire, are probably also hiding in the Douling Empire.

Moreover, the Douling Emperor who seized the throne might have done the same thing as He Xutianran: secretly supporting evil soul masters and then using their power to unify the continent.

But now,
These guys are no longer just evil spirit masters.

"metropolitan."

The sudden interruption broke Ning Bowen's eloquent speech. The moment he looked up, his gaze met Chen Junting's serious eyes, and he guessed what Chen Junting was thinking.

"You still think so?"

Chen Junting did not answer, but instead asked, "Sect Master, has anyone proven that two conflicting martial souls cannot coexist?"

"this…"

When asked this question, Ning Bowen suddenly hesitated.

Have it?

Then, Ning Bowen kept asking himself this question while quickly reviewing knowledge about martial spirits in his mind.

As it turned out, he discovered that it seemed to have never been verified.

Because twin martial souls are already rare, and the occurrence of conflicting martial souls is even rarer. This notion stems from the fact that past owners of twin martial souls didn't know how to cultivate them, leading to tragic ends.

But now, things are different.

The cultivation method for twin martial souls has been acquired, and those who possess twin martial souls will no longer experience the tragic fate of the past. However, the consequences of past failures were merely due to the changing times and the oral tradition passed down from generation to generation.

This almost subconsciously led him to this conclusion. And if what Chen Junting said is truly true…

In that instant of understanding the consequences, he undoubtedly thought of the same view as Chen Junting. Even more serious than these two scenarios was the possibility that the Douling Emperor had been completely infiltrated by "Ye Xishui" and her group without his knowledge. This explains why they hadn't made much progress regarding evil soul masters after establishing the alliance.

If that's the case, then it's terrible. It would give them a full ten years of stable development.

Attack!

We must strike hard!

As for whether Chen Junting's judgment was wrong?
After Ning Bowen eliminated the most likely options, he chose to unconditionally believe Chen Junting's judgment: "Shui Xiye" is Ye Xishui.

What do you decide to do?

"Just take a trip."

Now that we know, this matter can't be delayed any longer. Fortunately, with his current strength and battle armor, he's already considered the strongest person below the god level. Plus, with the guarantee of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, a divine artifact, he dares to challenge even a level 100 priest.

With the guarantee of strength,

Chen Junting made a decision decisively.

"only you?"

Ning Bowen, who was still unaware of Chen Junting's true strength, frowned. "How about I have Uncle Ye go with you? After all, there are three Limit Breakers there."

"No need, let Master guard the sect."

Chen Junting had already stood up, and now he spoke as if he were describing a trivial matter, "I'll be back soon."

The next second, he tore through space and vanished. Every movement he made indicated that it was an effortless task.

"Ugh--"

Seeing Chen Junting leave, Ning Bowen sighed for some unknown reason. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I need to inform Shrek Academy about this as soon as possible and get them to withdraw their people."
