Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 97 Heavenly Struggle, Your Emperor Has Returned! (Together)

From the depths of the Sunset Forest,

The mysterious and dangerous Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire slowly emerged, and the Blade's team appeared even larger.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse treetops, slowly scattering across the land of this sunset forest, reflecting the different expressions on the faces of each person in the group.

The most conspicuous member of this team is the newly joined elder – Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

He wore a green robe, and his face, etched with wrinkles, bore the marks of time, but his eyes, still sharp as an eagle's, had transformed into an unquestionable majesty.

At this moment, Blue Silver Emperor followed behind Blade, his face showing a hint of fatigue, but more so, satisfaction.

It did take her some effort to persuade Dugu Bo, this veteran titled Douluo.

Later, she not only revealed the future fate of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to Dugu Bo, but also frankly told him about the major event that the Heaven Dou Empire was about to change hands.

After hearing all this, Dugu Bo was filled with emotion!

He once thought that his life would be immersed in the glory and loneliness of being a Title Douluo, but he never expected to encounter such earth-shattering changes in his twilight years.

The abundant power of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire gave him an unprecedented sense of vitality. That power not only cured his long-standing ailment, but also made him feel as if he had been reborn. Even his gray beard and hair turned black and shiny, as if time had flowed backward on him.

Now, Dugu Bo knows that accepting the blessing of the power of abundance means that he will assume the corresponding responsibilities and obligations.

He is no longer just a lonely Title Douluo, but will assist Ren in promoting the transformation of the Heaven Dou Empire and contributing his strength to the future of this continent.

Surprisingly, Dugu Bo harbored some good expectations for this new path.

I remember back then, after Dugu Bo took that mysterious medicine, he felt his meridians were cheering and jumping for joy, as if he had been reborn.

As a result, his curiosity was completely ignited, and he was filled with a desire to explore the true power of Blade, the leader.

The blade was then casually displayed.

Dugu Bo still remembers that scene!

At that moment, Blade's eyes became as deep as the sea, and an invisible force began to surge around his body.

The air seemed to freeze, and time stood still at that moment.

Dugu Bo's eyes widened as he saw the seemingly ordinary longsword in Ren's hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, a light like the dawn breaking through the darkness.

With a light flick of his sword, an invisible sword aura swept out, snapping a giant tree in front of him in two without making a sound.

Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat. He felt the terror of that power, a power capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart and shaking the soul.

This shocked him so much that he was speechless, and a strange emotion welled up inside him.

He even began to reflect on what he had done to deserve the attention of a powerful figure like Ren and to be brought under his command.

In his eyes, the blade was like a god of war from mythology; one man with a sword was enough to sweep away thousands of troops, and no one could defeat him.

It's easy to imagine that Blade could single-handedly storm into the upper echelons of the royal family, turning those nobles who were usually high and mighty into mere weeds under Blade's sword.

An army? In Dugu Bo's view, even a massive army would only be a pile of corpses in the face of such a god-like being.

Dugu Bo deeply understood what absolute power truly meant. Faced with such power, all numerical advantages seemed pale and powerless.

The power of the blade has surpassed the comprehension of ordinary people, reaching a qualitative leap. That is the true power of a strongman, who alone is enough to dominate the ages and determine the course of history.

Dugu Bo was filled with awe, which also strengthened his resolve.

He was naturally willing to follow such a leader, fight for him, and protect this land for him.

He knew that only by standing beside a powerful figure like Ren could he witness true power and realize his value in future changes.

At this moment, Dugu Bo,

He stared intently at the tall and imposing blade in front of him, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise and delight.

It was a feeling that mixed shock and awe, like an old craftsman seeing a legendary divine weapon, feeling both fear of the unknown and excitement of the new discovery.

Although he had only spent half a day with Ren, and although everything that had happened before him had exceeded his comprehension, Dugu Bo, with his years of experience in judging people, could still sense the extraordinary nature of this leader.

An unprecedented surge of emotion welled up in his heart, and a premonition lingered in his mind—this Douluo Continent was about to undergo a tremendous change.

Dugu Bo knew that a person with power beyond this world was about to step onto the stage of history to unify this continent.

After understanding the Blue Silver Emperor's intentions, he was filled with unparalleled shock.

Although he had initially found it hard to believe, now that he had personally experienced that abundant power, he began to believe in the possibility of Blade unifying the continent.

Now, that doubt has been completely dispelled.

He firmly believed that Blade not only possessed the power to unify the continent, but also the aura and wisdom of a king.

He possesses an irresistible charm, as if he were born for this era, destined to unify the continent!

At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor in front was lost in his own thoughts.

He was unaware of the profound changes that were taking place in Dugu Bo's heart.

In her opinion,

This trip to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was just a small interlude. Although the interlude was short, it had its own unique melody.

The Blue Silver Emperor's eyes revealed his approval of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

She knew all too well that this mysterious land...

For the locals of Douluo Continent, it is undoubtedly a valuable asset, its value not only on the surface but also with unfathomable inner depth.

Before leaving, Ren casually told her that there were some unknown secrets hidden deep within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

However, Blade did not explain further, but only instructed the Blue Silver Emperor to leave behind a seed containing abundant power.

He hopes this seed will nourish the land and protect its peace.

Although Blue Silver Emperor was curious about the secrets hidden deep within, she did not delve into them.

As a loyal follower, she only needs to obey her master's orders.

So, with a relaxed air, she casually tossed down the seed, imbued with power by the blade himself, at the center of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

The seed fell to the ground and instantly became one with the earth, as if it had always belonged there.

At that moment, the Blue Silver Emperor's gaze lowered slightly as the seeds fell, her face showing little expression.

But she harbored a glimmer of hope that this seed could take root and sprout here, blossoming into its own flower and bringing new life to this mysterious land.

To her surprise, in just a moment,

A tender green sapling sprouted from the soil in the center, and its growth rate was astonishing, a true miracle of life!

After sensing that abundant power, the surrounding plants seemed to be awakened from their slumber, stretching out their branches and leaves and dancing joyfully, as if celebrating the newborn saplings!

That unique vitality from the bounty spread out like ripples, covering the entire lake and its vast surrounding area.

From this moment on, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire became their territory.

There was no need to set up any barrier here, because after sensing this aura, the soul beasts were as if they had seen the Blade himself, and they all retreated and dared not cross the line.

Some of the more intelligent soul beasts even knelt down at the farthest edge of the abundant aura, bowing down in sincere submission.

They seemed to sense the sacredness and majesty of the central power, and voluntarily became the guardians of this land, yearning for the favor of the central power, and from then on relying on the strong to seek protection.

Blue Silver Emperor was naturally aware of this.

When she first saw these phenomena, she found them quite interesting.

But over time, she came to take it all for granted.

After all, all living beings crave power and growth, but none are as fortunate as her to receive the favor of the blade and the nourishment of abundant power.

Blue Silver Emperor's gaze swept over the worshipping soul beasts, her eyes showing no sympathy.

quickly,

The four of them passed through the last treetop of Sunset Forest and arrived outside the gates of Tiandou City.

A hint of surprise flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He remembered that this avenue was usually bustling with people, but today it was unusually deserted, and he didn't see a single pedestrian.

Although he had some doubts, he soon understood the reason behind this anomaly.

At this moment, outside the gates of Tiandou City, a royal army of the highest rank, clad in magnificent armor and wielding sharp weapons, stood in neat rows at the grand city gate with the highest honors, resembling an iron Great Wall.

If someone unaware of the inside story saw this scene, they would think it was the grand occasion of Emperor Xueye's personal expedition and his triumphant return.

The solemn and dignified atmosphere inspired awe in everyone.

Dugu Bo's gaze pierced through the array and he spotted a man dressed in royal attire standing in the most conspicuous position at the gate, his hands clasped together, his head bowed, quietly awaiting their arrival.

That person possessed a noble air and dignified demeanor; one glance was enough to tell that he was no ordinary person.

Upon closer inspection, the man was undoubtedly Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

His appearance was undoubtedly a declaration to the world that today's events were of great significance, and that the Heavenly Dou Empire was about to undergo a major transformation.

Xue Qinghe wore a gentle smile as he looked at Ren, the leader of the four. His deep eyes also held a hint of excitement and loyalty.

Before long, Ren's lips twitched, and he shook his head helplessly. He strode forward and slowly walked towards Xue Qinghe, who was standing at the city gate.

As Xue Qinghe saw Ren approach, he immediately spoke in a loud voice, his tone filled with respect and anticipation:

"Welcome, Your Majesty!!"

As his voice fell, the neatly lined-up troops on both sides of the road, like strings struck on a musical instrument, instantly erupted in thunderous shouts:

"Welcome, Your Majesty!!"

The soldiers' faces were filled with excitement and pride, and their voices were loud and powerful, as if they wanted to convey this respect to every corner of Tiandou City!

However, Ren didn't say anything. He simply crossed his arms and gave Lan Yinhuang a meaningful look. Then, without lingering, he walked past Xue Qinghe and entered the city gate.

Upon seeing this, Blue Silver Emperor immediately understood the meaning behind the blade.

She gently walked to Xue Qinghe's side, stretched out her hands, and slowly lifted the bowing prince.

Her lips curled slightly upward, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of helplessness and amusement, and she said softly:

"Oh dear, Xiaoxue, why are you making such a big fuss? Even if the Heavenly Dou Empire is already in your grasp, you can't just stop putting on an act, can you?"

Blue Silver Emperor's voice was very soft.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe blinked her deep eyes, a mischievous glint in them.

She first waved her hand behind her, signaling the soldiers to retreat according to the previous instructions, then tightly grasped Blue Silver Emperor's hand, knowing that she approved of and supported him.

She smiled broadly, her tone conveying confidence and ease:

"Haha, Sister Lan Yin, don't worry anymore. With your help, Xueye is completely under control."

"Besides, I haven't been idle these past few days,"

Xue Qinghe continued,

"Secretly, I have already arranged my people and have taken some restless nobles under control."

"Now, all it takes is one command!"

"The Heavenly Dou Empire, without a sound, underwent a change of dynasty!"

"We can announce it to the public after everything has settled down!"

Xue Qinghe slowly revealed her plans and ambitions, intending to show the world her achievements only after everything had settled down.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yinhuang smiled and gently tapped Xue Qinghe's nose. Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, but she didn't seem to care, simply saying casually:

"That's fast, but there's no rush. Taking care of three more will be safer, then we can begin."

quickly,

After Lan Yinhuang finished speaking, he took Xue Qinghe's hand and walked lightly to the dumbfounded Dugu Bo.

Her demeanor returned to its usual elegance and composure, making her seem like a completely different person from her previous witty and cheerful self.

She said softly, "You know this person. Now, keep him by your side. It will make it easier to handle the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire later."

When Xue Qinghe saw Dugu Bo, he was so shocked that he could not express it!

Previously, this titled Douluo was the biggest obstacle she encountered when poisoning Emperor Xueye. His poison skills were superb, and he was a meticulous and cunning opponent that she had to take seriously in her secret poisoning plan.

Now, he's actually been recruited by Blade and Blue Silver Emperor?!?

However, Xue Qinghe had an extremely strong mental fortitude, and she quickly calmed down, even a strange smile rising in her heart.

Shouldn't all of this be expected? The power of the blade needs no further explanation; all of this is perfectly reasonable.

Dugu Bo's shock at this moment was no less than Xue Qinghe's.

He and the unfathomable eldest prince had been secretly competing in poisons for a long time; they could be considered "old acquaintances."

Dugu Bo never imagined that one day he would stand beside Xue Qinghe and become his ally.

His eyes were instantly filled with deep awe for the blade's abilities, once again refreshing his understanding!

So, behind her was also an unparalleled powerhouse like Ren?!

A storm raged in Dugu Bo's heart; he had never imagined this.

The Heavenly Dou Empire is utterly useless!

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Those nobles who were usually high and mighty were probably not even as good as ants in front of a strongman like Ren.

Those who know what's good for them should hand over their capital as soon as possible. Maybe the authorities will take pity on them and spare the lives of these ruthless nobles!

"Those who understand the times are wise," Dugu Bo said, bowing respectfully as he spoke.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

His voice was firm and powerful, showing his loyalty to Xue Qinghe, or rather, to Ren.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Dugu Bo to change his attitude so quickly, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha, Poison Douluo, you're too polite. There's no need to call me Your Highness. My real name is Qian Renxue."

Her voice carried a hint of mockery, while also expressing her approval of Dugu Bo.

"You."

"You should have heard about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Qinghe didn't even wait for Dugu Bo to show his shocked expression again.

He simply turned his head away, oblivious to everything else.

He looked at Ren's retreating figure, who had already walked some distance away, with a mixture of excitement and tenderness.

She murmured softly:

"From now on, we will all fight for that beloved His Majesty!"

"Heavenly Battle."

"Your true emperor has returned."
