Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

With the fall of their formidable enemy Yang Ping'an, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu no longer seemed to be working together seamlessly as before, and instead appeared to be somewhat wary of each other.

The two did not leave the two mountains immediately, but instead calmed down and used their mental energy to carefully observe the surrounding situation, while also trying to recover their physical condition as quickly as possible.

Both of them were seriously injured this time, and it is unlikely that they will be able to fully recover in a short period of time. The six Grand Masters, on the other hand, need even more treatment.

Three full days later, with the help of Qian Daoliu providing a large amount of spiritual medicine, the six elders slowly woke up one by one. However, among all the elders, only Guangling Douluo's injuries were slightly lighter. The five elders, led by the Second Elder, were severely injured, and their injuries were probably no less severe than those of Bone Douluo back then. It would take them several years to recover.

The relatively better Light Feather Douluo was responsible for scouting the surrounding area, and returned to report after scouring it countless times.

"Brother, after investigation, there is no one within a radius of thirty miles, nor any sign of human activity. I can confirm that there is no trace of Yang Ping'an; he should be dead."

Qian Daoliu simply nodded, then turned to Bibi Dong and asked, "Bibi Dong, Yang Ping'an is nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead. Is it possible that he escaped our notice and left this place?"

Bibi Dong remained silent for a while before speaking: "Although I used my ninth soul skill, Undying Body, I also tried my best to sense the surrounding situation. There were no spatial fluctuations, and Yang Ping'an showed no signs of leaving."

"With his broken body and the poison I've inflicted on him, the fact that he still exerted all his strength to unleash that level of attack skill is probably just a last-ditch effort to make a comeback."

"Furthermore, Yang Ping'an's final move, Golden Dragon Annihilation, was incredibly powerful, even surpassing Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer with its nine rings exploding simultaneously. Moreover, he used the skill of ring fusion. I'm afraid he knew he couldn't escape this calamity and wanted to drag the two of us down with him."

What Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu didn't know was that a dark figure had been following Yang Ping'an in the shadows ever since before the battle began; it was none other than Li Gui.

Li Gui witnessed almost the entire battle, even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu's sneak attack, but with his strength, he was powerless to stop them. He could only compress his soul power to the extreme and hide it with all his might.

If Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were to discover his existence, they would probably silence him immediately, and it might even implicate Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo.

Li Gui's martial soul is Ghost Shadow, which makes him extremely good at hiding, especially in dark places. He seems to blend into the shadows, and as long as he doesn't actively cause fluctuations in his soul power, no one can detect him.

After discussing it for a while, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu finally decided to leave Liangyue Mountain. After all, they had searched for three days without finding anything, and their injuries had improved to some extent. They needed to return to Wuhun City to continue recuperating.

Just after Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu's group left, the place where they had been seemed to change subtly, and a figure gradually emerged from the maze—it was Yang Ping'an.

If Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were to see Yang Ping'an's current condition, they would probably be extremely surprised.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an was completely unharmed, his soul power had reached its peak, and the poison in his body had completely disappeared. He didn't look like he had just experienced a major battle.

In fact, when Yang Ping'an used the Golden Dragon Annihilation, all of his spirit rings flashed at the same time. What others did not know was that Yang Ping'an could use the spirit skills of two martial souls at the same time. It was at that time that Yang Ping'an used his eighth spirit skill, the second one: Illusory Body.

In the instant his soul skill exploded, his entire body seemed to transform into an illusion, his form directly merging into the earth, making it impossible for outsiders to perceive Yang Ping'an's transformation in that instant.

Using his illusory body, Yang Ping'an's body returned to its best condition, but he did not attack Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.

Given Yang Ping'an's condition at the time, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to attack Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong; he should have been able to kill one of them.

However, the survivability and life-saving ability of the Limit Douluo are beyond everyone's imagination. According to Yang Ping'an's estimate, even if they use a divine artifact, they can probably only kill one of them. The other person will probably escape, especially since Bibi Dong has an immortal body, which is probably very difficult to kill, while Qian Daoliu has almost the limit of speed.

Rather than fighting them again, it's better to watch them leave, which will make my next move easier.

In fact, Yang Ping'an could have used his eighth soul skill to recover when he was ambushed by the two, and he could have recovered even before using Golden Dragon Annihilation. However, during the battle, especially after being seriously injured, Yang Ping'an felt that something was wrong with his body.

As the injuries worsened, this strange feeling became more and more obvious; it seemed that with the increase in the severity of the injuries, the power of death had become much stronger.

Especially when Yang Ping'an was seriously injured at the end, he felt that his power of death had reached its limit, as if he was the god of death himself at that moment.

Just as the King of the Uncanny said in the Forest of Death, Death is a different kind of god. He controls the power of death and life and death. To fully master the power of death, one must put oneself in a life-or-death situation.

Especially after using his eighth soul skill, Illusory Body, for the first time, Yang Ping'an felt as if his entire body was illusory, as if it was beginning to evolve into a divine body. Perhaps this injury would actually have a greater effect on him.

However, looking in the direction Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu left, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but laugh: "I'll let you two off this time. I hope you won't be too surprised when we meet again."

"I almost forgot, Sendou Ryu, this should be the last time we meet."

With a flash, Yao Ping'an arrived instantly in the shadows where Li Gui was hiding.

"Uncle Li Gui, come out! Aren't you tired of hiding for so long?"

A ghostly figure gradually emerged from the shadows, eventually transforming into the likeness of Li Gui himself.

Li Gui seemed extremely surprised: "Ping An, how come you're not injured at all? I remember you suffered serious injuries from the Angelic Holy Sword and Bibi Dong's deadly poison. These aren't easy to cure."

Yang Ping'an smiled faintly: "It's just a minor injury. You all underestimate me. I specially searched for so many special 100,000-year spirit rings, how could I not even avoid such a small injury?"

Li Gui seemed to instantly understand Yang Ping'an's meaning: "You deliberately fought against His Majesty and the Grand Elder, deliberately making them think you were dead."

Yang Ping'an said, "I didn't originally plan to attack them so soon, and I didn't even plan to kill the six elders again. Otherwise, do you think those six elders would have managed to survive?"

"If all these people die, the Spirit Empire will be overthrown by the two great empires, and the entire Spirit Empire may even collapse. I don't want the two great empires to rule the entire Douluo Continent in the future."

Li Gui hesitated for a moment before speaking, "So what do you plan to do now? Are you going to go find Elder Ju and Elder Gui?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "Let's not go to them yet. Wait for me here for a few days. I have some things to take care of, and then we'll go see Master and Uncle together."

Li Gui was immediately startled: "Ping An, could it be that your injuries haven't healed yet? Then we should go find Elder Ju and Elder Gui."

Yang Ping'an looked at the two mountains in front of him and a smile appeared on his lips: "Uncle Li Gui, don't you think there's something strange about these two mountains? This place seems to be an excellent place for body tempering, but it seems that only Tang Chen can move it, or rather, it only works on the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. I may have discovered the secret to the Clear Sky Sect's power."

Before Li Gui could react, Yang Ping'an's figure merged back into the earth.

Thousands of meters underground, this place seems to be so sensitive to some kind of electromagnetic field that even a Limit Douluo cannot truly perceive it.

Using the Thousand-Pound Ant King's burrowing ability, Yang Ping'an quickly traveled underground and soon arrived at a huge spatial layer. The spatial layer was not large, but it was somewhat like a large tomb, or a palace like the Death God's Palace.

Perhaps because of the vast expanse of time, the entire interior of the underground palace seemed to have decayed, but something in the very center of the palace caught Yang Ping'an's eye.

It was a broken giant hammer. The handle of the hammer was over three meters long and the hammerhead was half a meter in diameter. The handle was broken in the middle.

Even though the giant hammer was broken, it still emitted endless lightning. In particular, the appearance of the giant hammer seemed to be somewhat similar to the Haotian Hammer.

However, unlike the Haotian Hammer of Tang Hao and Tang Lie of the Haotian Sect, this hammer is more similar to Tang Chen's Haotian Hammer, and even exudes endless divine power, as if it can shatter anything that comes near.

Yang Ping'an's gaze was very solemn. This was no ordinary hammer, but a divine artifact, or even a super divine artifact. In terms of attributes, it was no weaker than the Reaper's Scythe, and probably second only to the Asura Demon Sword.

In particular, Yang Ping'an felt that this giant hammer seemed to have some connection with the Haotian Hammer. It was likely that only disciples of the Haotian Sect could activate this lightning power. No wonder the two Yue Mountains were near the Haotian Sect. Perhaps the two Yue Mountains were the training grounds of the Haotian Sect disciples.

Yang Ping'an used his hands like dragon claws to grab the broken giant hammer. For a broken divine artifact, it wasn't a big problem for Yang Ping'an to get close.

After Yang Ping'an examined the giant hammer closely, he was also surprised to find that it had four characters engraved on it: Thor's Hammer.

A hint of doubt appeared in Yang Ping'an's eyes: "Thor, it seems there shouldn't be such a god in the Douluo world. Could it be another god who fell before the Dragon God War?"

Compared to the Asura Demon Sword and the Reaper's Scythe, this Thor's Hammer was clearly damaged. In particular, Yang Ping'an felt that the divine power on it seemed to be leaking out, and the leaking divine power formed the special situation of the Two Mountains.

Yang Ping'an suddenly thought of a question: the Haotian Sect had been in seclusion for more than 20 years and had produced a total of five Title Douluos, which was probably related to the Thor's Hammer. Unfortunately, the Thor's Hammer was too badly damaged, and the decline of the Haotian Sect ten thousand years later was probably related to the Thor's Hammer completely losing its divine power.

Tang Chen's ability to reach the Limit Douluo level through his own cultivation might also be related to the Thor's Hammer, and Tang Chen's martial soul might even be somewhat similar to the Thor's Hammer.

Finally, Yang Ping'an put away the broken Thor's Hammer and left the underground palace.

Yang Ping'an reappeared on the ground and said to Li Gui, "Uncle Li Gui, let's go. It's time to see my master and uncle." (End of Chapter)
