Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 442 Poisonous Emperor's Choice
For the people of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Chenhuan's death was nothing short of a catastrophe.

With the God of War Jin'e preceding them and now the God of Earth Xu Chenhuan, it is an undeniable fact that two of the Four Star Gods have already fallen.

If any of these people still held even a sliver of hope, it was among the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall's Pope faction, especially Honorary Elder Yu Xiaogang.

Although the Rakshasa Goddess Bibi Dong had already fallen at Lin Rong's hands, only Lin Rong himself and the old steward Yu Yuan knew about this.

Therefore, even though Bibi Dong did not appear in public to display her divine power for a long time, the people in the Spirit Hall's Pope camp still believed that His Holiness the Pope and His Highness the Holy Maiden had gone into seclusion and cut off all contact with the outside world, which was why no news had come out.

Because the higher-ups in the Spirit Hall's Pope camp still held the belief that Bibi Dong was still alive, they did not forget to take Yu Xiaogang, a burden, with them when they hastily fled in the face of the Heaven Dou army's advance.

In an instant, the soldiers of Longyan Pass either surrendered on the spot or turned around and fled.

Only a very small number of people dared to say no to divine authority, and as soon as they raised their weapons, rolling thunderbolts descended from the sky, striking them with perfect accuracy on their heads.

When the lightning dissipated, only a little black dust remained on the ground.

……

Above Xingluo City.

Du Huang stood in mid-air, intending to rush to Longyan Pass to provide support, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head to look at the inner city center of Xingluo City, where the Xingluo Imperial Palace was located, and within the palace stood a temple of the Earth God.

This temple was specially built for Xu Chenhuan by the Xu family after they moved into the Star Luo Imperial Palace. In order to make the temple powerful, Xu Chenhuan personally poured divine power into it.

Xu Chenhuan is the God of the Earth. As long as the temple sits on the earth, its divine power will never run dry, but only if the God of the Earth lives.

Now, the divine power of the earth contained within the Earth Temple is beginning to dissipate. What does this signify? How could Du Huang not know?

"He's dead. Xu Chenhuan, that unkillable cockroach, is actually dead. Was it a one-hit kill?"

Du Huang muttered to himself, subconsciously connecting Xu Chenhuan's death with the inheritance from another world.

The most memorable method was a drop of milky white water called Guanyin's Tear.

He would never forget that in the external projection shown to him by the Rakshasa Divine Sense, Bibi Dong's god-level clone, which was a one-to-one replica of her original strength, was annihilated into dust by that seemingly harmless drop of milky white water.

"The earth is dead, will I be next?"

A god should not act this way, but Du Huang's mind is flawed.

Although Rakshasa's divine sense could not stop Du Huang's determination to inherit the Asura God's position, what she did was not in vain. At least before Du Huang inherited the god's position, it created an unhealable gap in his mind.

This is somewhat similar to Qian Renxue in the original novel, who was defeated by Tang San before becoming a god, and then allowed Tang San to escape from her grasp after becoming a god.

Although the intervention of the first Sea God was a factor, it did not prevent the need to defeat Tang San once in order to make up for the missing mental state.

Poison Emperor's situation is even more serious. He doesn't need to defeat anyone, but rather the cowardly version of himself he was before becoming a god, a version of himself that was timid due to fear.

Defeating others is difficult enough, let alone defeating oneself.

Du Huang understood this, and it was precisely because he understood this that he might never be able to fill the void in his heart.

"Summon all members of the clan; we are relocating our clan!"

This voice echoed in the minds of all the Body Sect disciples in Star Luo City.

Relocation of ancestral home? Why?
They moved from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Star Luo Empire not long ago, so why are they moving their sect again? Could it be that Dragon Saliva Pass has fallen?

But this was the sect leader's order.

The Body Sect has always been ruled by the sect leader's lineage, which is also the Poison Clan. This is how it is even without gods. Moreover, the current sect leader is already a god-like figure. The sect leader's orders are no longer simple orders for the disciples of the Body Sect, but sacred decrees that must never be disobeyed.

However, if Longyan Pass has also fallen, it would mean the fall of the Star Luo Empire. The Douluo Continent, though vast, would no longer have a place for them to stay.

Where can one relocate their clan?

Could it be that they intend to relocate to a remote island in the sea and become a truly reclusive sect?

……

Longyan Pass is located ten miles behind.

The high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall's Pope's camp were surrounded by a group of high-ranking Soul Masters from the Heaven Dou faction. The leader of them was Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan.

A few years ago, the Spirit Hall was the power with the most permanent titled Douluo on the entire Douluo Continent, without exception.

But now only a few big and small cats remain.

Of the eight great enshrined figures in the Hall of Offerings, the first six were completely wiped out, leaving only the two enshrined figures, Chrysanthemum and Demon, who turned their attention to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

A significant portion of the Spirit Hall elders perished in the explosion that reduced the Spirit Hall to ruins, and the few remaining Title Douluo elders also fell one after another in the continuous wars of the past few years.

Currently, the Spirit Hall only has two elders at the Title Douluo level, and one of them recently broke through from the peak Soul Douluo level.

"You are so presumptuous!"

Inside the encirclement, Yu Xiaogang hid behind two Title Douluos, trying to persuade the enemy to spare their lives.

"Although the Golden Crocodile has fallen, my Spirit Hall still has a deity. You dare to exterminate us all? Aren't you afraid that Dong'er will kill you all to vent his anger after he comes out of seclusion?"

"Even though Tian Dou has two god-level warriors, do you really think they would risk their lives to fight a god for your sake?"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang became more and more confident, because he realized that what he was saying really made a lot of sense.

"Well said."

Yang Wudi's expression was sinister, and he suddenly said:

"But first of all, your Pope is still alive."

After saying that, he pointed his gun forward and said:

"Fuck me!"

After the order was given, the first to rush forward were none other than Flander and Liu Erlong on his back.

Their target was none other than their former good brother and lover, Yu Xiaogang.

Because of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong's unborn child could not be saved.

Although the battlefield was extremely dangerous, there was still a sliver of hope to save the child in her womb. However, Yu Xiaogang's intervention completely extinguished that last glimmer of hope.

It was a fully formed male fetus, the first child of Flanders and Liu Erlong, and it was gone just like that.

From that moment on, they severed the last vestige of affection they had for Yu Xiaogang and planted a seed of hatred within them.

Now, the seeds they planted have yielded a bountiful harvest, but their children will never come back.

With this in mind, Flander and Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang with even more hatred.

The intense fire of revenge burning in their hearts seemed to be transmitted through their gazes to Yu Xiaogang, sending chills down his spine.
