Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

The capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The army of Soul Beasts eyed the last vestiges of the Heavenly Soul Empire with predatory intent. The soldiers on the city walls gripped their weapons tightly, their faces solemn. Although their bodies trembled slightly, their eyes revealed a resolute determination.

The sect leader of the Body Sect, Poison Undying, looked solemnly at the vast army of soul beasts outside the city wall, and couldn't help but have second thoughts.

Ye Qi'an's words kept echoing in his ears. The current situation could be said to be entirely the result of humanity's own actions. Moreover, the Body Sect had caused countless beast tides since ancient times. Not to mention others, he had three 100,000-year soul rings, and at least three 100,000-year soul beasts had died at his hands.

Du Busi knew that the soul beasts had likely come with immense hatred and would not give up easily. His disciples were also tense, their usual arrogance completely gone.

As Du Bu Si gazed at the figure on the golden throne, his expression turned extremely solemn. With a swift movement, he transformed into a giant a hundred meters tall in mid-air. Intense green light emanated from his entire body, within which a faint golden halo shone, making him appear like a majestic and dignified deity.

Behind him stood the only thirteen Title Douluos of the Body Sect and the seven Guardian Douluos of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a total of twenty Title Douluos. Adding the Body Sect Master, Du Busi, who was a Limit Douluo, such a lineup would have been almost unstoppable. However, standing in front of them now was a god, and such a lineup was indeed somewhat insufficient.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, even a Limit Douluo like him dared not hold back. Du Busi immediately unleashed his second awakening of his original martial soul.

A terrifying fighting power was released in the air. Du Busi assumed a posture of supporting the sky with both hands, and beams of green light shot out from his body, heading towards the golden mist in the air. Each beam of green light accurately covered the golden mist, and also covered the entire area.

Green and gold were clearly distinct. However, judging from the aura they emitted, the dazzling golden light emitted by Ye Qi'an's clone was significantly greater than the green light emitted by Du Busi.

"Before God, your resistance is futile." Ye Qi'an's clone's icy voice seemed to come from the endless void, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

The golden mist grew increasingly intense, like a colossal beast about to devour everything, relentlessly eroding the green light that was imperishable to poison.

Poison Undying gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, as he did his best to maintain the power of his second awakening of his martial soul. The twenty titled Douluo behind him also unleashed their strongest soul skills. In an instant, various colored lights shot into the sky, converging with Poison Undying's green light, attempting to resist the advance of the golden light mist.

However, Ye Qi'an's clone simply waved his hand, and countless golden rays shot out from the golden mist, piercing through the combined defenses of the group like sharp arrows.

The titled Douluo coughed up blood, forced back by the powerful force. The disciples of the Body Sect looked desperate upon seeing this, but many still shouted and charged towards the army of soul beasts, even if it was like moths to a flame.

The ordinary soldiers on the city wall were also inspired by the fierce battle. They stopped trembling, and in an instant, a large number of soul-guided rays shot out from the defensive devices of the city wall, weaving into a dense net of fire, and roared towards the soul beast army.

However, all of this was like a mud ox sinking into the sea when it landed on the golden film covering the soul beasts; it only caused a few weak ripples and then remained completely still. The golden film seemed to possess super strong defensive power, firmly protecting the soul beasts and easily neutralizing the attack of the soul guide rays.

"Isn't it better to just obediently wait to die?"

Just then, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, from which a powerful aura capable of destroying the world erupted, causing everyone on the battlefield to shudder.

Upon sensing the familiar aura, Ye Qi'an's clone smiled faintly and looked at the main body sect members and others, saying, "The main body is back. I wish you all good luck."

After saying that, Ye Qi'an's clone suddenly withdrew the golden light mist around it, its figure instantly becoming ethereal, and then disappeared into the huge crack.

Upon hearing this, Du Busi and the others felt a chill in their hearts. The last glimmer of hope they had felt was extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. They couldn't even defeat the clone, let alone Ye Qi'an's true form. In that case, the battle would be even more hopeless.

The disciples of the Body Sect looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and despair. They had already had such a hard time facing the clones, and now they were facing the even more powerful Body. Wouldn't death be the only thing waiting for them?

The seven guardian Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire also looked solemn. Although they knew that this battle would be difficult, as guardians of the country, how could they easily give up the fight?

One of the Guardian Douluo tightened his grip on his weapon, gritting his teeth as he said, "Forget about their true form or clone, we'll fight to the death! We can't just stand by and watch the empire perish!"

The other Guardian Douluos nodded in agreement, their eyes regaining their resolve.

Du Bu Si took a deep breath. He knew that there was no room for retreat at this moment. Even if the opponent was Ye Qi An in his true form, he had to fight with his last bit of strength. They had nowhere to escape.

Just as everyone was on high alert, a brilliant light shone from the enormous crack, and a figure slowly stepped out. Tall and imposing, surrounded by a faint golden aura, he was none other than Ye Qi'an, who had returned from the Divine Dragon Realm. His gaze coldly swept over the crowd below, a slight, disdainful smile playing on his lips, as if he were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

"Are you ready to die?"

Ye Qian'an's icy voice echoed in the sky, and his powerful aura pressed down on everyone as if it were a tangible force. Many soldiers and weaker soul masters were directly crushed to the ground by this pressure...

In a flash, Ye Qi'an appeared on the golden throne. He gently raised his hand, and the golden light around the throne instantly spread outwards like a surging tide, distorting the space wherever it went.

Under the glow, the army of soul beasts roared in unison, seemingly paying homage to Ye Qi'an, or perhaps demonstrating their power against humanity.

"That's all for you. You can go back now."

As Ye Qi'an spoke, he slowly raised his hand and waved it. In the blink of an eye, the once mighty army of soul beasts was teleported to a subordinate plane of the Divine Dragon Realm.

The battlefield fell silent, with only the human side remaining in a state of high tension. Du Busi and the others stared in astonishment at the direction the soul beast army had vanished, their minds filled with questions, unable to understand Ye Qian'an's intentions.

Ye Qi'an sat on the golden throne, his gaze once again falling on the crowd below, his icy eyes seemingly piercing through to the heart: "The sins humans have committed against soul beasts, you will all pay the price. Kneel down!"

His voice was like a resounding bell, making everyone's ears ring. The powerful pressure was like Mount Tai pressing down, causing the legs of many soldiers and soul masters to involuntarily bend. However, Du Busi and several titled Douluo endured it, clenching their teeth, veins bulging on their foreheads, relying on their powerful soul power and unwavering will to resist this pressure.

I said... kneel down!

Ye Qi'an shouted again, his voice filled with impatience and anger, and his imposing aura suddenly intensified.

Some soldiers and soul masters who were still struggling could no longer bear it. Their legs buckled and they knelt down with a thud, their eyes filled with humiliation and despair. But Du Busi, the seven guardian douluos of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and some powerful figures from the Body Sect gritted their teeth and persevered. Their bodies trembled slightly under the immense pressure, but they refused to kneel.

Poison Undying's eyes were bloodshot as he roared with all his might, "Ye Qi'an, you can't expect us to submit so easily! Even if we die, we'll die standing!" The titled Douluos beside him echoed his words, shouting in unison. Although their voices trembled slightly due to the immense pressure, they still conveyed a sense of determination.

"Do you think you'll survive?"

A ruthless glint flashed in Ye Qi'an's eyes as he coldly stared at Du Busi and the others who were still resisting. He slowly stood up, the golden light around him growing even more intense, as if he were burning. His powerful aura also surged once more, sweeping towards the crowd below like a raging tsunami.

Du Busi and the others felt a sudden surge of pressure, as if mountains were pressing down on them, and every bone in their bodies was creaking under the strain. But their eyes remained firm, showing no sign of backing down.

Ye Qi'an sat on the golden throne, his gaze coldly fixed on Du Busi and the others who were struggling to hold on below. He slowly spoke, "Du Busi, do you still remember those three 100,000-year-old soul beasts? The first one was the Shadow Leopard King deep in the Star Dou Great Forest. It was living peacefully in its territory, but because you, in order to satisfy your own desire for power, set up numerous traps, you used the lives of countless soul masters as bait to lure it out of its lair. In a fierce siege, it was isolated and helpless. Although it fought desperately, it ultimately fell to the soul skills of you and your subordinates. Its 100,000-year soul ring became a stepping stone for your power advancement, and its clan, having lost its leader, gradually declined in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Poison Undying's expression changed slightly, but he stubbornly gritted his teeth and did not respond.

Ye Qi'an continued, "The second one was the Illusionary Dream Spirit Butterfly. It was an extremely special 100,000-year-old soul beast. Its ability could help people cultivate spiritual power, and it was kind by nature, never actively provoking humans. But after you heard about its abilities, you became greedy. You led the elites of the Body Sect and launched a surprise attack while it was metamorphosing from its cocoon. It was attacked when it was at its most vulnerable. Although it struggled with all its might and tried to confuse you with illusions, you broke through the illusions and killed it by force, thanks to the special properties of your Body Martial Soul. Its death plunged many weak soul beasts that depended on its spiritual power into chaos and despair."

At this moment, large beads of sweat appeared on Du Bu Si's forehead, his hands trembled slightly, but his eyes still showed unyielding spirit.

"And the third one is the Flame Qilin Beast. It guards a spiritual vein in a volcano, a vein crucial to the surrounding ecosystem. To obtain the treasures within that vein and the Flame Qilin Beast's 100,000-year soul ring, you disregarded the impending disaster. You colluded with several other forces, trapping the Flame Qilin Beast with a special sealing array. In the long battle, the Flame Qilin Beast burned its own life force, fighting you to the very last moment. Its demise caused the volcano to erupt in fury, engulfing surrounding villages and towns in lava, and causing countless deaths. All of this is your 'masterpiece,' Poison Undying! Do you still dare say you shouldn't kneel?"

Ye Qi'an's voice grew increasingly cold, and his powerful aura continued to assault Du Busi and the others with each word.

"Soul beasts that have reached the 100,000-year level already possess extraordinary intelligence. In order to survive, they can hide, and even hide for a lifetime. But you humans refuse to let go of any opportunity to obtain powerful strength, repeatedly driving them into desperate situations. Now, it is time to settle the score. Die!" After Ye Qi'an finished speaking, he waved his hands violently, and a huge golden light blade slashed towards Du Busi and the others.

Wherever the light blade passed, space was torn open with a dark rift, and the powerful energy fluctuations caused the air to tremble.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The immense pressure on their bodies left Du Bu Si and the others no time to react. They watched helplessly as the enormous golden blade of light slashed through their waists, simultaneously slicing off most of the Heavenly Soul Empire and instantly engulfing it.

As the light faded, all that remained was ruins and rubble, permeated with an aura of death and despair. The once prosperous capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire was now a wasteland, with broken bricks and tiles scattered everywhere, and thick smoke billowing into the sky. Surviving soldiers struggled desperately among the ruins, some severely wounded, others with faces filled with terror, their eyes brimming with fear of the unknown.

Although Du Busi and the others were lucky enough not to be completely killed by the golden blade of light, they were on the verge of death. They lay on the ground, panting heavily, blood gushing from their wounds, staining the ground beneath them red.

The disciples of the Body Sect, those once spirited young soul masters, had lost their former vitality. They were either crying or shouting in despair, and the whole scene was chaotic.

Ye Qi'an stood on the golden throne, coldly observing everything. There was no pity in his eyes, only anger and dissatisfaction towards the sins of humanity.

"Disappear. This is the price you will have to pay." Ye Qi'an's voice was as cold as if it came from the deepest hell.

After speaking, he slowly raised his hands, and endless golden light began to gather in his palms. The intensity of the light seemed to be able to devour the entire world.

The surviving people of the Heavenly Soul Empire stared at the terrifying light that gradually brightened, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness. The soldiers tried to struggle to their feet and fight back, but their heavily wounded bodies would not obey their commands; the Soul Masters tried to gather their soul power, but found that everything was in vain before the power of this deity.

With a gentle push, Ye Qi'an unleashed golden energy like a raging tsunami, sweeping towards the ruins of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Wherever it touched, space collapsed, the earth tore apart, and all matter was reduced to dust by the impact of this energy. Whether it was the crumbling buildings or the desperate lives, everything was instantly obliterated, leaving no trace. The entire land of the Heavenly Soul Empire was left a desolate wasteland, as if civilization and life had never existed there. And Ye Qi'an's figure, in the afterglow of this destruction, remained cold and resolute.

"Star Luo is destroyed, Dou Ling is shattered, Tian Hun is destroyed. Thus, three of the four great empires have perished. Zi Huang has destroyed Tian Long. We will meet again soon. Wait for me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qi'an and the golden throne beneath him vanished instantly, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the direction of the Haotian Sect.
