Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 12 Seeing this distant butterfly
Deep within this eerie yet vibrant sea of ​​flowers lies a skeletal general. This place connects to the underworld, its eerie atmosphere imbuing it with a unique and terrifying power. In terms of strength, this skeletal general is comparable to a ferocious beast with 300,000 years of cultivation.

Its body was formed from bones, tempered by the passage of time and the yin energy of the underworld, making it as hard as black iron. Ordinary attacks were like ants trying to shake a tree, unable to cause the slightest damage. It was surrounded by a dense aura of slaughter, formed from the resentment of countless dead souls.

"My lord, shall we make a move?"

"Let's take a look before making any preparations. I've seen this skeleton before; its cultivation level should be around 300,000 years. The Forbidden Flower Sea is truly terrifying."

"I want to see A-Die," Wang Qiu'er said.

"Ah Die?"

Could it be... the Holy Maiden?

After all, in this Sea of ​​Death Flowers, few can contend with the power of the Butterfly in the face of death.

"Little Bone, go back. They mean no harm." A gentle voice rang out, as if entering a warm flower village.

"them?"

It's not just one person; there are others.

Xia Die emerged, and with each step she took, countless ghost flowers bloomed on the ground.

"Your Excellency, we meet again." Xia Die lifted the hem of her skirt and said politely.

"Your Holiness, I shall take my leave now."

Since I am the Holy Maiden's person, it seems inappropriate for me to stay here.

"this is for you."

The purple ring in Xia Die's hand resembled a purple flower in bloom.

"This is a ring, for you, Butterfly..."

"Sir, what are you thinking? This will allow you to freely enter this sea of ​​flowers without being affected by this deathly aura."

“I see. I see.”

Xia Die stepped forward, looked at several shadowy spots, and said calmly, "Gentlemen, may we come out? Hiding is not a good habit."

Gu Yuena and the others hid very well, but Xia Die still managed to discover their whereabouts.

Di Tian and his group of people walked out.

Wang Qiu'er was dumbfounded. After all that, she had escaped by accident, only to find out that you were secretly following her. Could she still have some fun?

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me instead."

…………

They went straight into the sea of ​​flowers. Outside, there were piles of white bones, but here were flowers of the underworld. It was hard to imagine that they had been living in pain here every day since they were six years old.

Each and every flower of the underworld weaves this place into a garden of dreams.

"You've spent the last five years here."

"Yes, you already know that."

Wang Qiu'er really wanted to hold Xia Die's hand, but Xia Die refused, knowing her own hands were no good.

I sat down under a purple cherry tree.

Gu Yuena didn't stop her. She told Wang Qiu'er to finish talking before she went to talk to her. This girl had a strong sense of death, but also some bitterness. She didn't know what her past experiences were like, and only she herself knew.

On the other side, Tang Lin, the third member of the Tang Clan, stood in the shadows with his hands behind his back, while several powerful Soul Masters from the Clear Sky Sect stood behind him with their heads bowed.

"I'll accept the cultivation supplies." Tang Lin turned around, his gaze icy. "The matter of revitalizing the Tang Sect will be put on hold for now; we'll discuss it again once my strength is consolidated." He paused slightly, his tone suddenly turning chilling: "What's the whereabouts of Huo Yuhao?"

The Soul Master closest to him immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Reporting to the Young Sect Master, there are still no clues."

"Intensify the search." Tang Shan narrowed his eyes, his fingers tightening slightly inside his sleeve. "Even if we have to traverse the entire Douluo Continent, we must find him." Although Huo Yuhao was as elusive as a lone wolf hidden in the night, as the young sect master of the Haotian Sect, he now had enough confidence. As long as they made their move before the opponent broke through to the peerless expert level, the power of the entire sect would be enough to crush any threat.

"Yes, Young Sect Master."

…………

Should I call you Xia Die or Yu Hao?

"Just call me Xia Die, it's the same as always."

Why won't you let me get closer?

Xia Die looked at Wang Qiu'er and said with a touch of sadness, "These hands are so cold."

She once lived in the kingdom of Selene, a kingdom that revered death, where snow fell all day long and never melted.

My hands are a curse of death, but before the faith in the realm of death, they are a blessing of death.

She was called a "saint" from a young age, and all of this caused her immense suffering.

"Butterfly, are you really going to stay in the underworld forever?"

"At the end of the sea of ​​flowers, the soul of the living will warm your fingertips... After embracing, the two will be forever separated by warmth."

The outcome is not immediately obvious. According to the Titan's prophecy, the Butterfly will eventually leave and remain in the Underworld forever, while the Imperial Beast can grow up happily.

The Titan of Death is just like that.

Her Nine Trials of Death are relatively difficult, and the first trial takes place in this sea of ​​flowers. [First Trial: Throne of the Dead]

Deep within the sea of ​​flowers, over three years, one must ascend the steps, bowing with each step, all abilities except for one's martial spirit forbidden. The pain will be a thousand times greater, as one must climb step by step to reach the throne of the dead.

From the very beginning, calculations were made to ascend the throne of death; it was terrifying.

She was once the daughter of the River Styx, the twin of the other side, one of the twelve members of the Golden Blood, the mortician of Onphalos, the saint of war, the saint of death, the handmaiden of the shadow of death, and the half-body of the Titan of Death.

"So what are you going to do next? After all, you don't want to go against what Tang San did."

"Given my current situation, what power in Douluo Continent would dare to take me?"

If I had to name one, it would be the Holy Spirit Cult. But unfortunately, it's also part of Tang San's forces. Besides all the known forces, Tang San's overall forces include the Holy Spirit Cult, Shrek Academy, Clear Sky Sect, and Seagod Island, which are some of the forces closely related to Shrek Academy.

"Actually, you don't need to. You can teach him a lesson in this Soul Master Competition."

"What's the meaning."

Xia Die whispered something in Wang Qiu'er's ear.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er's pupils contracted sharply. What? Tang San's alternate body is in Douluo Continent? This... is too good to be true.

The grudges of the past life, the sins of this life, Tang San, prepare to face my judgment.

"Hey, even in his secondary form at Shrek Academy, you still can't beat him when he uses his true trump card."

Although it is a secondary body, it still possesses divine power. It would be very difficult to sever this body, but I can do it.

"What are you planning to do about this?"

Xia Die took out a box, which seemed to contain something sealed inside.

"What is this?"

"Your soul is now complete, and this is what that guy forcibly tore apart and filled into your body. It is naturally half of Tang Wutong's soul and a wisp of Tang San's consciousness."

This thing was produced by the system; Tang San couldn't break free from it with his divine sense alone.

Xia Die naturally had her own ideas, which was to go to Mingdu, but only to establish cooperation, given her current state.

"Your Excellency Gu Yuena, I don't know, you came here with her not just to protect her, but you must have other purposes, such as, about me."

Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and said, "You are very smart, but I don't know if you are human or a soul beast."

"We are born from the other side, a kind of twins from the other side. Strictly speaking, we are not simply human beings, but part of the [Death Titan]."

"Death Titan? What's that?"

“He represents death, and comes from my past life. This power is not something that some people can control.”

After saying that, Xia Die looked at Gu Yuena and said, "As for why I know your name and all these things, it comes from a few books. Although they are books, they seem to be about your future."

Gu Yuena glanced at the copies of "Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect" in Xia Die's hand, along with other books: "Douluo Continent III: The Legend of the Dragon King," "Douluo Continent IV: Ultimate Douluo," and "Douluo Continent: Legend of the God Realm."

Gu Yuena reached out and took the book from Xia Die. With her strong mental power, she quickly finished reading it.

There was no burden of truth in their eyes, only a gaze filled with bloodlust and murderous intent.

"My lord, what does the future hold?"

Gu Yuena sighed and said, "Di Tian, ​​you see for yourself."

After reading it with a puzzled expression, Di Tian's face also showed anger.

"Tang San, that damned bastard."

Biji and Ziji simultaneously took Ditian's hand, suppressing his anger.

It's unclear what the Lord and Emperor Tian saw, but it certainly wasn't anything good.

Gu Yuena and Di Tian's expressions were extremely stiff. They wanted to kill this person who controlled their lives, but it was too early to do so now. Going to the God Realm to kill him would be suicide.

"Actually, Tang San is on the Douluo Continent."

"What."

"However, it is a secondary body he created, which is now in Shrek Academy. He most likely came for me. There is also another piece of information: he may also be reborn with his memories, because he would not send a secondary body here."

“You’re right. By the way, what kind of world is Onpharos, where you live, and what was your past life like?”

“Worlds far superior to this place are so high that even the gods would not be able to survive there.”

Gu Yuena nodded and instructed Di Tian, ​​"Di Tian, ​​starting now, place a barrier around the Star Dou Great Forest prohibiting humans from hunting soul beasts. It's too lenient on them. At the same time, all the outer areas should be guarded by 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Doesn't his second body want to cultivate and become stronger? It's not that easy."

"Yes, my lord, but I'm afraid those humans might use this as a pretext to attack..."

"Hmph, when the time comes, let them lure us to the core area. If they are cooperative, I won't hold it against them. If they are ungrateful, then I'll kill them."

"Yes, my lord."

"By the way, especially that Tang San, just seriously injure him, don't kill him. My injuries haven't healed yet, and I can't afford to break ties with them."

"Yes, my lord."

"Um, may I take a look at your injuries?" Xia Die suddenly asked.
