Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Bibi Dong fell silent upon hearing Yang Ping'an's words. As the highest-ranking member of the Spirit Empire and the Spirit Hall, especially in order to unify the entire Spirit Hall and establish the Spirit Empire, she was well aware of the changes involved.

In order to win over the former Lower Four Sects, especially the Elephant Armor Sect, they paid a considerable price. The Elephant Armor Sect was basically like a local tyrant in their territory, somewhat similar to the major kingdoms of the original Heaven Dou Empire.

Of course, compared to the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Empire's spirit masters are more powerful, and spirit master sects like the Elephant Armor Sect are more likely to submit.

In particular, the original territory of the Spirit Empire consisted of numerous kingdoms and duchies of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. In order to make the original king submit to the Spirit Empire, in addition to military intimidation, many promises were also made.

In the end, Bibi Dong sighed: "Fine, since you want to live a carefree life on your own, I won't force you. I hope you will always be a friend of my Martial Soul Empire."

Yang Ping'an then revealed a slight smile: "Your Majesty, unless someone really provokes me, I will try my best not to become an enemy of the Martial Soul Empire."

……

After a conversation between the two, Yang Ping'an left the Papal Palace.

After Yang Ping'an left, Bibi Dong took out a letter and pondered for a moment. With a slight wave of her hand, the letter turned to ashes.

Whether it was intentional or not, the news of Yang Ping'an's victory over Qian Daoliu spread rapidly throughout the entire Soul Master world, causing an uproar.

Yang Ping'an has always been relatively unknown in the world of Soul Masters, only briefly showing his talent during the Soul Master Competition.

However, to many Soul Masters and sects, no matter how dazzling Yang Ping'an's performance was, he was just an ordinary Soul Master. Although many people wanted to win him over, they only admired him a little.

It must be understood that compared to top-tier Soul Masters, a genius is ultimately just a genius. Back when Yang Ping'an was in the Soul Master Competition, he was only eighteen years old. Although his performance was exceptionally brilliant, he was still too young to be a Soul Master.

The youngest Title Douluo in the history of Soul Masters is Tang Hao, but he only became a Title Douluo at the age of forty-four. Even among Soul Emperors, geniuses are generally over thirty.

Yang Ping'an is only twenty-seven years old, yet he was able to defeat Qian Daoliu; it's simply unbelievable.

Even when the Haotian Sect issued a warrant for Yang Ping'an's arrest more than a year ago, it was because Yang Ping'an had ambushed and killed Tang Hao. Although it caused a stir, the Haotian Sect did not elaborate on Yang Ping'an's strength.

Over the years, Yang Ping'an has always kept a low profile, basically not participating in anything in the Soul Master world, and no one has even seen his whereabouts, since Yang Ping'an's training has always been in some secluded places.

Although Qian Daoliu has retired in recent years, he was one of the two peaks of the Soul Master world in the past. Now he has actually been defeated by Yang Ping'an. Does that mean that Yang Ping'an is already level 99?

It should be noted that level 99 is the highest level in the Soul Master world. In the past fifty years, only Bibi Dong has reached level 99. The entire Soul Master world has not even produced a level 98 master, which shows how difficult it is.

Inside the secret chamber of the Haotian Sect in Tiandou City.

At this moment, the entire Clear Sky Sect only has two Title Douluo-level experts, Tang Chen and Tang San. Apart from them, Tang Xiao has led the four elders to the front line, and more than half of the sect's Soul Masters have gone to the front line.

Tang San's condition is very unstable right now. His whole body is filled with murderous aura, like a demon, and his face is even distorted at times.

After hearing the news that Yang Ping'an had defeated Qian Daoliu, the two fell silent, as Yang Ping'an was considered their greatest enemy.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Chen finally spoke calmly: "Little San, my time is running out. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to the City of Slaughter. However, I have already transferred all the divine power I gained from participating in the Nine Trials of Asura to you. As long as you go to the City of Slaughter and follow my method, you can open the Road to Hell."

Tang San seemed to be filled with red light at this moment, and his whole body was full of killing intent, just like when he had completed a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Especially after Tang Chen injected the Asura God Power into Tang San's body, there seemed to be a red light inside his body, but he couldn't fully use it.

Normally, only those who obtain the God of Slaughter Domain are qualified for the Nine Trials of Asura, but that is only a qualification; they are still far from being true inheritors of the Asura God.

Tang San originally possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill, which could suppress his out-of-control emotions. However, recently he has absorbed a lot of energy from soul beasts and corpses, and his whole being seems to have undergone earth-shattering changes. If Tang Yuehua hadn't used her Noble Domain to try to stabilize his emotions, he probably would have gone crazy long ago.

Tang San seemed extremely angry: "Great-grandfather, do you want to face Yang Ping'an alone? I'm confident I can reach level 99 as soon as possible, and then I'll definitely be able to defeat Yang Ping'an."

Tang Chen sighed: "Xiao San, we don't have time. Yang Ping'an will come to find me in ten days to half a month at most. Then it will be a decisive battle between us. With your current strength, it is impossible for you to reach level 99 in a short time."

"Moreover, compared to Yang Ping'an, your future and development are more important. As long as you obtain the Killing God Domain in the City of Slaughter, the rise of my Haotian Sect will no longer be a problem."

Tang San's face was filled with grief and indignation: "Great-grandfather, I no longer have a father. You and my uncle are the closest people to me in the world. I don't want you to face Yang Ping'an alone, and I don't want you to be in danger."

Tang Chen said, "If I hadn't gone to find Yang Ping'an back then, or if the feud between us had ended after Hao'er's death, perhaps my Haotian Sect could have resolved it peacefully. But now it's too late. Tang Lie has already been killed by him. I even went to find him in person. He even killed Titan White Crane. He doesn't even care about Yang Wudi anymore. That means that my Haotian Sect and Yang Ping'an are now irreconcilable enemies."

"You must leave immediately. I must leave hope for the Haotian Sect. Otherwise, once I die, the Haotian Sect will cease to exist."

Tang San seemed a little puzzled: "Great-grandfather, Yang Ping'an's strength is probably even greater than we imagined. He can even defeat Qian Daoliu now, so just how strong is he?"

Tang Chen thought for a moment before speaking: "I don't know the specifics either. My strength and Qian Daoliu's strength have always been about the same. Even if I am slightly stronger than Qian Daoliu in battle, that is just a matter of his personality. But the strength that Qian Daoliu can unleash in Wuhun City is definitely no weaker than mine, and may even be stronger than mine."

Tang San seemed a little puzzled: "Great-grandfather, wasn't Qian Daoliu the weakest of the three Limit Douluos back then? Why did he have such great strength?"

Tang Chen shook his head: "Xiao San, you're wrong. In terms of strength, the three of us are absolutely evenly matched. I am known as the invincible on land, Poseidon is known as the invincible in the ocean, and Qian Daoliu is known as the invincible in the sky. But in terms of speed, Qian Daoliu is definitely the strongest among the three of us."

"Back then, although Poseidon and I defeated Qian Daoliu, we were no match for him in terms of speed. You are also a high-level Soul Master, so you should know how troublesome flying Soul Masters are. You might be able to defeat them, but you would definitely find it difficult to kill them."

"Yang Ping'an was actually able to defeat Qian Daoliu in Wuhun City, especially in the sky. That shows just how strong he is. I estimate that his second spirit has reached the ninth ring, and all of them are high-limit spirit rings."

Tang San thought about it carefully: "Great-grandfather, if that's the case, then I can't leave even more. Why don't you come with me to the City of Slaughter? With your guidance, I should be able to pass through the Hell Road and obtain the God of Slaughter Domain more quickly."

Tang Chen gave a bitter smile: "Little San, it's too late now. Ever since Yang Ping'an reached level 99, he has been able to sense the location of the Asura Demon Sword. If I take the Asura Demon Sword back to the City of Slaughter with you, then Yang Ping'an will also go to the City of Slaughter."

"In the City of Slaughter, Yang Ping'an and I can both use soul skills, but you can't. Otherwise, you probably won't even be able to escape."

"So I will stay in Tiandou City to recuperate and wait for Yang Ping'an's arrival. But don't worry, no matter who wins or loses this battle, I will leave the Asura Demon Sword to you. After all, it is the key to your future ascension to the Asura God."

Tang San was a little puzzled: "Great-grandfather, you have the Asura Demon Sword in your hand. You should have a certain advantage against Yang Ping'an, at least you shouldn't be defeated."

Although the battle between Yang Ping'an and Qian Daoliu was widely known, no one knew that Qian Daoliu had used the Angelic Holy Sword. Therefore, people's estimation of Yang Ping'an's strength was somewhat wrong, and no one expected that Yang Ping'an would be so much stronger than Qian Daoliu.

Tang Chen smiled faintly: "I have been using this Asura Demon Sword for more than fifty years. In particular, I was already able to use the Asura Demon Sword during the seventh of the Nine Trials of Asura, and even gained the Asura Demon Sword's approval."

"I am not afraid of fighting Yang Ping'an, and I am even confident that I can kill him. After all, the Asura Demon Sword is a true divine artifact, and its power is unmatched even by a Limit Douluo."

The Asura Demon Sword seemed to emit a dark red light. Even though Tang San had cultivated under the Asura Demon Sword for so long and even inherited Tang Chen's Asura Divine Power, he still found it difficult to get close and even felt that it was full of chilling killing intent.

Two tears rolled down Tang San's cheeks: "Great-grandfather, I can't just watch you go to your death. Let me accompany you. I should be able to help you when it matters."

Tang Chen gave a wry smile: "Xiao San, you had some contact with Yang Ping'an back then, so you should be even more aware of Yang Ping'an's personality and methods."

"In order to deal with Hao'er, he did not hesitate to hide in the Spirit Empire until he had enough strength before revealing his true colors and killing him with one blow. This shows that he is a man of deep scheming. And the thunderous methods he used to kill Tang Lie show that he is ruthless."

"Not to mention that he seriously injured Yang Wudi. This is a person who doesn't care about any family ties and is extremely shrewd in his actions. He would never leave any trouble for himself."

"Among all of us in the Clear Sky Sect, the first person Yang Ping'an truly wants to kill is you. If you stay in Heaven Dou City, you will only distract me. Even if I can contend with him, I cannot completely stop the Limit Douluo from attacking you, and you will definitely not escape death. Then our Clear Sky Sect will truly have no hope."

Tang San seemed about to say something more, but Tang Chen shouted angrily, "Little San, you get out of here right now! Only in the City of Slaughter will Yang Ping'an be able to ignore you, and perhaps then you can truly escape this calamity!"

Tang San's expression was unusually solemn and resolute. He knelt down in front of Tang Chen, kowtowed three times, and then left without looking back.

Compared to Tang Chen or Yang Ping'an, Tang San's current strength is far inferior. His only hope of avenging his father lies in surviving. (End of Chapter)
