Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

The impact of the mass disappearance of soul beasts over ten thousand years old has gradually spread.

Many Soul Masters who needed to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring searched all over the various Soul Beast Forests, but could not find a single ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Even the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, which no one dared to set foot in before, has been ventured into by daring Soul Masters to explore.

Fortunately or unfortunately, even in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, there was not a single trace of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

The news of the disappearance of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast had just spread when it caused panic among many soul masters.

The quality of a spirit ring not only affects combat power, but also plays a significant role in enhancing spirit power.

If there are no more ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the future, the soul master world of Douluo Continent will regress significantly.

Hundreds or thousands of years later, let alone becoming a Limit Douluo, becoming a Title Douluo will be a legendary event, and breaking through to Soul Douluo will be extremely difficult.

"Brother Huo, would you like a ten-thousand-year soul ring?"

After the Soul Master Competition ended, Shenfeng Academy, Chihuo Academy, and Tianshui Academy became very close, especially now that the situation on Douluo Continent has changed drastically, with the two great empires, along with many sects and the Spirit Hall, becoming adversaries.

The three colleges didn't want to take sides, so they banded together for mutual support.

On the day Qian Renxue succeeded to the Pope, many gods revealed their presence. During the battle, elemental power was unleashed, and many people benefited from it.

Those from the major single-element academies benefited the most.

They followed a separate path of elements, making it easiest for them to absorb the elemental power unleashed by the gods. As a result, Huo Wushuang and the others' strength increased significantly, and their cultivation speed also increased considerably over time.

Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and even Shui Bing'er all broke through level 50 one after another.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but then a problem arose.

When they were eager to absorb the spirit ring, they couldn't find a suitable ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast. Not to mention a suitable one, even an unsuitable one was nowhere to be found.

They were all genius soul masters aspiring to break through to the Title Douluo level, and they all wanted to absorb a soul ring that was more than 10,000 years old for their fifth soul ring, looking down on the effects of a thousand-year soul ring.

They, along with their respective teachers and elders, searched several Soul Beast Forests, but still found nothing.

Huo Wushuang was even considering giving up.

This might be the end of the Soul Master's cultivation path. Right now, it's just the disappearance of ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts. Even if all Soul Beasts disappear one day, he wouldn't be surprised.

Just as he was preparing to make do with absorbing a soul beast that was eight or nine thousand years old, Feng Xiaotian mysteriously came to his door.

"Who wouldn't want a ten-thousand-year spirit ring? Don't you want one? But there aren't any ten-thousand-year spirit beasts."

Huo Wushuang said helplessly.

Feng Xiaotian lowered his voice and said, "What if I told you there's a place that can provide us with ten-thousand-year soul rings?"

"Really?"

Huo Wu's eyes gleamed with desire; he was desperate for a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

"Would I lie to you? Call the others, and I'll take you somewhere."

Huo Wushuang gave Feng Xiaotian a deep look. Although he felt that this matter was somewhat unreliable, he still decided to trust Feng Xiaotian this time.

……

"Is this the place you were talking about that can provide us with ten-thousand-year soul rings?"

The three academies were originally located in different parts of the country and were quite far apart. After forming a temporary alliance, they all moved to the remote province of Idov.

This place is located in the northwest corner of the Heaven Dou Empire, far from Heaven Dou City and also far from the areas where the two great empires and the Spirit Hall might clash.

They were prepared to stay here and wait for the two great empires and the Spirit Hall to settle their score, determined not to get involved in this mess.

Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er were brought by Feng Xiaotian to Yidef City, in front of a somewhat gloomy building.

"City God Temple, what kind of place is that?"

Huo Wushuang and the others looked at Feng Xiaotian suspiciously. If they didn't know Feng Xiaotian's character and if the relationship between the three academies wasn't in a honeymoon period, they would have suspected that Feng Xiaotian was planning to rob and kill them.

"Would I harm you? This is the place."

Huo Wushuang and his companions entered the City God Temple with some skepticism.

Upon entering the City God Temple, they felt as if they had stepped into another dimension; the temperature suddenly dropped, and the environment made their scalps tingle. "This... these murals look familiar."

Huo Wu looked at the murals on the walls of the City God Temple's corridor and whispered.

Huo Wushuang's eyes widened, and he whispered in return:

"My God, these are all the gods that appeared on the day the new pope was enthroned!"

"That doesn't seem right, does it? It's different from the gods in the divine realm."

Shui Bing'er was also infected, and her voice became even softer.

"No, these are deities from the Spirit Hall. Although they are somewhat blurry, they are definitely not wrong."

“I remember now, I also remember that person named Ning Qiuyang.”

Huo Wu surveyed the murals, her gaze settling on a figure from behind.

"That's him. Even though it's just a view of his back, I'm sure it's him."

Huo Wushuang's lips twitched a few times.

I never expected my sister to have such a vivid memory of that deity; she could even recognize his back.

"Gentlemen, what brings you here?"

The group, who were immersed in the artistic conception of the mural, suddenly heard an old voice.

This mural contains a certain charm. It is indeed frightening at first, but after looking at it for a long time, you will unconsciously become immersed in it and even be able to understand some of the mysteries of cultivation.

The voice was gentle, not hoarse, and not shrill.

Their sudden appearance still sent chills down their spines and startled them.

"Hello, you must be the temple keeper of the City God Temple. We want to obtain a soul ring."

Feng Xiaotian, who knew a bit about this place, quickly replied.

"Come with me."

The old man's expression remained unchanged as he turned and walked into the corridor.

Huo Wushuang and the others looked at each other for a while, and finally hesitated before following them inside.

At the end of the long corridor was a spacious hall.

As they walked out of the corridor, Huowu and the others immediately saw eleven tall and majestic sculptures.

They couldn't recognize the Ten Kings of Hell with their different expressions, but they recognized Ning Qiuyang, who was surrounded by them, at a glance.

Unlike the figures in the murals, the sculpture sits solemnly with a peaceful and serene expression, yet it seems to be judging a deeply sinful criminal.

The wisps of incense smoke curled around the face of the statue, adding to its mystique.

The group of people perked up, and many memories surfaced in their minds. They pondered whether they had committed any sins, fearing that they would face judgment at any moment.

"cough~"

The old man coughed, bringing Feng Xiaotian and the others back to their senses.

"If you want to obtain a spirit ring, find a futon and sit down."

The main hall was very spacious, and hundreds of prayer cushions were placed under the statues of gods.

The anticipation of the ten-thousand-year soul ring overwhelmed the doubts and fears, and the old man's tone still conveyed a sense of conviction.

The five of them dared not separate and chose the nearest row of prayer cushions to sit cross-legged.

"Master Temple Keeper, how do we obtain a Soul Ring?" Huo Wu asked, mustering her courage.

"Close your eyes and feel it carefully."

Huo Wu wanted to ask more about "what she felt," but an inexplicable intuition made her instinctively close her eyes. (End of Chapter)
