Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 316 The Birth of the Extreme Path Organization, the End of the Soul Master Era (4K)

The war on the continent continues.

Aside from a few powerful figures at the pinnacle of the continent, many people were unaware that the seed Huo Yuhao planted in the Douluo Continent's rule system a few years ago had already taken root and sprouted in this world.

Soul Masters undergo Martial Soul Awakening at the age of six. After awakening, they will obtain a Martial Soul and understand their innate Soul Power. Then, they are divided into realms with a threshold of ten levels.

This is a rule that has been in place for countless years, but in recent years, it seems that this rule has shown signs of instability.

The reason is simple: some Soul Masters have discovered that after humans awaken their Martial Soul and then add Soul Rings to themselves, the Soul Skills and enhancements they gain are far less than before.

The path of a Soul Master seems to be coming to an end.

Moreover, some newly born humans have developed a completely different feeling towards soul beasts than before, and even when hunting soul beasts, some low-age soul beasts have already stopped producing soul rings.

As we all know, some human soul masters who have awakened their martial souls and possess innate soul power must hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings in order to become stronger. But if hunting soul beasts no longer produces soul rings, how will humans become stronger in the future, and how will they contend with soul beasts?

Do we really have to rely on those soul tools? But even soul tools require humans to possess soul power to manufacture.

Therefore, many powerful humans panicked. Even if their strength could stop at a certain level, what about their descendants? If they could not rely on the bloodline inheritance and innate advantages of martial souls, how could the glory of their family or sect continue?

If this continues, won't they end up in the same situation as those peasants?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

In other words, the war between the Sun and Moon Kingdoms and the Three Kingdoms has attracted most of the attention; otherwise, such a thing would have made everyone on the mainland feel insecure long ago.

But it was under these circumstances that a previously unheard-of force, established in Mingdu, suddenly rose to prominence, appearing out of nowhere like a shooting star and into everyone's view.

Yakuza organization.

Why is it described as a sudden rise, an unexpected emergence?

Because the moment this organization came into view, the Sun Moon Empire's Body Sect, Mingde Hall, and the Offering Hall all expressed their support.

Moreover, even the Body Sect and the Mingde Hall have sent their most outstanding young disciples to the Extreme Path Organization to enrich the structure of this newly emerging organization.

At first, some powerful figures didn't take it seriously. After all, it was such a large-scale operation, and the three parties involved were too clearly identified. Many people understood who was behind it all.

In their view, this might just be a game that the End Douluo played out when he was bored.

Even with the support of three major powers, an organization needs a long period of development to truly stand at the top. To develop into an existence like Shrek Academy would require an even longer time and more effort.

This involves a long and complicated process of establishing influence and strength on the mainland.

Furthermore, even without the support of these three parties, it would only take a word for that End Douluo to mobilize them. Now, directly or indirectly breaking away from these three forces might actually be a good thing.

Not only do some of the top families in the Sun and Moon region think this way, but the royal family also shares this view.

Xu Tianran, in particular, was most worried that Huo Yuhao would not be satisfied with the current situation and would then threaten the authority of the imperial power.

In his view, Huo Yuhao could have directly used the power of the Body Sect and the Mingde Hall. With these three forces combined, even if he had several more Soul Master Legions, it would be of no use.

But now, Huo Yuhao is actually independent of these three forces and wants to establish a brand new organization, an organization that belongs to him alone. Although it is unknown why the Body Sect and the Hall of Offerings chose to support him, this will undoubtedly affect his relationship with the Body Sect and the Hall of Offerings.

Previously, he believed that Huo Yuhao, with his talent and background, would eventually threaten the imperial power, whether he inherited the Body Sect or the Hall of Worship, or with the assistance of the Hall of Bright Virtue.

Even in the worst-case scenario, Huo Yuhao could inherit both the Body Sect and the Hall of Offerings, merging the two together.

Even if the Sun Moon Empire unifies the continent, with such a behemoth within it, it's hard to say whether the Sun Moon Empire will belong to the Xu family or Huo Yuhao.

Now, things have changed. He never expected that Huo Yuhao would choose neither of the two paths and make a choice that was beyond everyone's expectations.

Establish your own power.

In this way, he would have more options. Even if this force called Extreme Path had an extremely close relationship with the Body Sect and the Hall of Offerings in the future, he thought it was better than merging several forces.

At the same time, I can devote some energy to internal division. Even close relationships inevitably have internal cracks, and there is so much I can do.

Although the organization's purpose and objectives are still unknown, the royal family believes it is absolutely inseparable from the current system of Soul Masters and Soul Instructors.

As long as it's within the rules, they can still decide how to play.

But these people soon stopped laughing.

At the same time that the Sun Moon Empire had just conquered the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Extreme Path Organization announced the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect within the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Meanwhile, the Extreme Path Organization will temporarily use the Haotian Sect as its sphere of influence and establish its base.

The news immediately caused a huge uproar.

Not only the Sun Moon Empire found it unbelievable, but even the original three kingdoms of Douluo were deeply shocked.

The Heavenly Soul Empire, in particular, never expected that their hidden sect, which they had been trying to contact and rely on to resist the strongest sect within the Sun and Moon Empire, would be destroyed by a newly established force of the Sun and Moon Empire.

This isn't just unacceptable; it's downright ghost story.

If it hadn't actually happened, everyone would have thought it was the biggest joke in nearly a century, with an impact even more incredible than the destruction of Shrek Academy.

After all, the destruction of Shrek Academy was not without precedent; it was the result of the Sun Moon Sect joining forces with the Body Sect to achieve a surprise victory.

However, the Haotian Sect, which was almost comparable to the Body Sect in reputation and was one of the most mysterious forces in the Three Kingdoms, seemed to have vanished into thin air.

No one received any news, and not a single disciple from within the Haotian Sect came out to ask for help.

There are only two possibilities: either the Clear Sky Sect's reputation outweighs its actual strength, and it's actually corrupt from the inside out; or this organization called the Extreme Path Organization is far more powerful than anyone imagines. It was even able to silently annihilate a top-tier sect on the continent before the Sun Moon Sect conquered Heaven Dou City, without any external support, and without anyone knowing!
Almost all the royal families of the three kingdoms felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this news.

Doesn't this mean that this previously unheard-of force has the ability to eliminate the royal families of the three kingdoms without anyone noticing?
Hands-on?

Putting aside the fact that the three kingdoms are currently preoccupied with the war between the Sun and Moon, even without the external threat of the Sun and Moon, they would still need to carefully assess whether they have the capability to easily destroy the Haotian Sect.

This has created a very strange situation.

That is, the Sun and Moon Royal Family knew very little about the Extreme Path Organization, and since it was their own force, they could not reap the rewards of victory. The Three Kingdoms were also wary of the strength of this force, and even felt that it was an underhanded trick by the Sun and Moon Royal Family, so they dared not take action.

The Sun and Moon Royal Family no longer held their previous contempt in high regard. Xu Tianran even began to frantically try to find a breakthrough from the Body Sect and the Mingde Hall.

He wanted to know what this organization called the Yakuza was doing all this for.

He was naturally wary, because he didn't even know what Huo Yuhao intended to do by taking over the Clear Sky Sect's power. There must be authorization from Huo Yuhao involved; this End Douluo seemed to have no shortage of power, and territory—he had previously promised Huo Yuhao most of the Star Luo Empire, yet Huo Yuhao remained unmoved.
Anxiety and unease filled the emperor's heart during this period. The unknown was the most unsettling thing. He always felt that there was a shocking conspiracy involved, but he just couldn't see the details.

All previous speculations were overturned, and everyone now knew that this organization called the Yakuza possessed a powerful force that they were unaware of.

Not only Xu Tianran wanted to know the purpose of all this from the Body Sect, but other forces did the same. However, the Body Sect and Mingde Hall were just participants. The few participants who were involved in Huo Yuhao's plan to bring the new era's 'carriage' naturally did not know what the ultimate purpose of the Extreme Dao Organization was.

Therefore, everyone could only wait and see what the Yakuza organization would do next.

In this atmosphere, half a month passed.

After the foundation was relatively stable, a message from within the Haotian Sect—no, it should now be called a message from the Extreme Path Organization—joined forces with the Mingdu Body Sect, the Mingde Hall, and other major powers, and appeared before everyone in a shocking way.

It was called a message, but it was more like a declaration, a notification sent to all forces on the mainland.

The message made no attempt to conceal that the Extreme Path Organization was fundamentally different from all the existing sects on the mainland.

Almost all sects on the mainland rely on martial spirits or blood ties to maintain their dominance, but the Extreme Path Organization is different.

Previously, the trouble caused by spirit rings was almost only known to a few sects and families, but it was directly exposed by the Extreme Path Organization. Not only that, the Extreme Path Organization also brazenly put forward a completely new concept to all spirit masters and spirit mentors on the continent.

Beastmaster and Soul Spirit system.

According to the descriptions of the extreme organization, the continent is undergoing tremendous changes, and the era of awakening martial souls to hunt soul beasts and thus achieve a leap in strength is gone forever.

The era to come belongs to spirits and beast tamers.

Soul rings will no longer be the only tool to help humanity progress, and the relationship between human soul beasts will no longer be one of life and death as before.

Even the innate soul power of humans will no longer be a limiting factor for human progress in the future. The only thing that can affect the future strength of humans is the soul.

Soul Contract allows humans with low aptitude but strong will and abilities to achieve upward mobility, completely breaking the barriers that have been restricted by Martial Soul factors for countless years.

At the same time, the extreme organization made no secret of its declaration that it would not stop any force in the world that insisted on the Soul Ring system, but all consequences arising therefrom would be borne by the other forces themselves.

From now on, the Extreme Path Organization will absolutely welcome any human Soul Master on the continent who wants to abandon the Soul Ring System and join the Soul Spirit System, but all contract processes will be completed by the Extreme Path Organization.

Humans who have learned the Law of Contracts will be registered with the Yakuza Organization and become members of the Yakuza Organization, following its rules.

The regulations clearly state that all members of the extreme organization must absolutely abide by the equal contractual relationship between themselves and the soul beasts, and reduce or, when necessary, reduce the killing of soul beasts, so as to achieve a easing of tensions and symbiosis between the two parties.

The contract will fully respect the wishes of the soul beast; if the soul beast does not recognize the human beast tamer, the contract cannot be established.

The Extreme Path Organization will position itself as the maintainer of the Beastmaster system and the maintainer of the planet's sustainable development, establishing a closed-loop chain encompassing the entire process of Soul Beast connection, Soul Beast taming, Soul Spirit adaptation, and Beastmaster growth.

Its core functions include, but are not limited to, establishing protected areas for endangered soul beasts when necessary, protecting the rights and interests of beast tamers from infringement, providing services to beast tamers, and implementing a series of measures such as contractual equality and symbiotic agreements.

All humans and soul beasts who adopt the Soul Contract method will be protected and supervised by the Extreme Path Organization, which will enjoy absolute judgment and dominance.

The Yakuza organization employs a three-tiered organizational structure.

At the top is the decision-making level, called the Extreme Council, which has ten Beast Tamer Elders and a Chief Executive Officer above them.

Some of the organization's core agendas and powers will originate from the parliament.

Of the ten seats in the council, half are occupied by humans and half by spirit beasts, and the chief governor has the power of veto power in the event of a vote not being unanimously approved.

At the same time, an executive body was established under the council, including the Spirit Pagoda, the Soul Protection Division, and the Extreme Path Guard.

The Spirit Pagoda is responsible for the development of soul tools within the organization, as well as the technological research and development serving the Beastmaster and Soul Spirit systems. Its aim is to promote technological progress in the Beastmaster era, while also fulfilling other responsibilities.

The Soul Protection Division is responsible for maintaining an equal relationship between soul beast spirits and beast tamers. It serves both beast tamers and soul beasts to ensure that the healthy ecosystem between them is not affected. It has a series of responsibilities, including finding the first initial contracted soul spirit for a beast tamer and supervising the protection of soul beast habitats.

The Extreme Guard is an organized, violent law enforcement agency that punishes soul beasts that blindly harm humans and humans who harm soul beasts. It is similar to the fist of a powerful force and is only accountable to the council.

The lowest level of the organization is the Beastmaster Alliance, which is set up by the Extreme Path Organization. The organization will establish Beastmaster Training Halls all over the world for a long time to come.

The Beastmaster Alliance will simultaneously encompass the families, academies, and training halls that rely on the organization, and will have the power to supervise and train subordinate families and academies.

The entire system contains a lot of content and many detailed regulations, but it is not complicated. As times progress, some regulations will be flexibly changed to adapt to different era requirements.

Even so, the declaration of the Extreme Path Organization and its new system called Beastmaster and Soul Spirit are no less than a level 15 soul-guided bomb in the current continent.

The Sun Moon Empire, originally part of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, along with all the Soul Master families and sects on the continent, were stunned and bewildered by this sudden emergence of power.

Almost everyone understands that a brand new era may truly be dawning.

An era that did not belong to Soul Masters or Soul Mentors, but only to the era known as Beast Tamers.
