Chapter 549 Poisonous Serpent Spear Soul-Shattering Gun

As the Serpent Spear Douluo lunged, his aura locked onto Yang Wudi. Due to the suppression of his soul power level, he could freely change his target. When he locked onto Yang Wudi, he immediately discovered that this man was almost entirely riddled with weaknesses. And these weren't intentional weaknesses, but genuine ones. It was as if wherever his serpent spear touched, it would instantly leave him riddled with holes.

And that was indeed the case. Even after Yang Wudi thrust out that spear, the Serpent Spear Douluo still felt the same way. However, he could not use his serpent spear to leave a fatal wound on his opponent, because he clearly felt that if his serpent spear landed on his opponent, then his opponent's dark spear would also have the ability to pierce his chest.

The second spirit ring gleamed on the dark spear, possessing only a simple ability called "Penetration," increasing penetration power by 100%. Yang Wudi was, after all, a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, and with all his spirit ring attributes focused on attack, even the Title Douluo before him couldn't match him in pure attack power. This demonstrated just how formidable Yang Wudi's offensive strength was.

That fierce and tragic spear thrust forced the nine beams of light conjured by the Serpent Spear Douluo to merge into one, and the purplish-blue serpent spear could only strike Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear from the front.

"Drink—" Yang Wudi shouted suddenly the instant the Soul-Breaking Spear made contact with the Serpent Spear. At the same time, his first soul skill lit up. It was the soul skill that had caused Tang San great trouble, "Shock".

The slightly trembling spear tip struck precisely at the center of the forked point of the serpent spear. The two soul skills, "Penetrate" and "Break," erupted with full force under Yang Wudi's purely offensive soul power. At the same time, the white light of Tang San's Killing God Domain intensified dramatically, completely condensing from Yang Wudi's body onto his spear.

Ding—, Buzz—

Two different sounds rang out one after the other. The first sound was the trembling produced by the collision of the spear and the second sound was the trembling of the serpent spear.

Before the battle began, neither Xue Qinghe, the Porcupine Douluo, nor the Serpent Spear Douluo himself expected such a situation to occur.

With a muffled groan, Serpent Spear Douluo was sent flying backward, his spear nearly slipping from his grasp as it trembled violently. His upper body arched backward, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, only managing to regain his footing when he reached Xue Qinghe's side. His face was deathly pale. He had actually suffered a serious injury from Yang Wudi's spear strike.

Underestimating Yang Wudi was his biggest mistake. He never expected that a Soul Douluo of such a vastly different level could unleash such a spear strike. Even more deceptive was the fact that Yang Wudi's spear was imbued with only his first and third Soul Skills. And Yang Wudi had already unleashed his Serpent Spear's third Soul Skill during the clash, yet the result remained the same.

How could this Serpent Spear Douluo know that Yang Wudi, as the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, had spent his entire life researching how to maximize his attack power? Even a Title Douluo would be at a disadvantage against him in an attack contest. This is why Tang San, despite having four soul bones and a 100,000-year soul ring enhancing his attributes, was still sent flying by Yang Wudi's spear.

Moreover, Yang Wudi was not only using his own abilities at this moment, but he was also within Tang San's Killing God Domain. Tang San had already seen after fighting Yang Wudi that when his Killing God Domain merged with Yang Wudi's powerful attacks, it would inevitably produce a qualitative change.

Yang Wudi's martial soul combat style prioritizes momentum—an unstoppable force coupled with pure offensive power. The Killing God Domain, in enhancing both momentum and attack power, complements him perfectly. A massive killing intent surged, spreading throughout Yang Wudi's heart, instantly elevating his attack power to unprecedented heights. Even among Title Douluos, only Sword Douluo Chen Xin and those wielding the sturdy Clear Sky Hammer could rival his offensive power head-on.

Yang Wudi's true offensive power lies in the Soul-Breaking Spear. While soul skill enhancements are important, he relies on them far less than ordinary soul masters. Furthermore, when the spears clashed, Tang San's evolved skill, God of Slaughter Assault, flashed by, enhancing his own side and weakening the opponent with unparalleled power. This is why the Serpent Spear Douluo suffered a significant loss the instant the two clashed.

Xue Qinghe's expression immediately turned ugly, his brows furrowed slightly, and a layer of blue aura appeared on the pale face of the Serpent Spear Douluo. Those who knew him well knew that this titled Douluo had become truly enraged.

Yang Wudi's movements didn't stop. He repelled the Serpent Spear Douluo with a single thrust of his spear, then spun around, slamming his right foot into the ground. With a flick of his wrist, the Soul-Breaking Spear was already aimed at the Porcupine Douluo. Riding the momentum of repelling the Serpent Spear Douluo, Yang Wudi's aura intensified. His fighting style was one of growing stronger with each battle, especially when he maintained the upper hand; his attack power would only increase continuously. Although Tang San had instructed him to hold his ground, for a purely offensive Soul Master like him, offense was the best defense.

At this moment, Dugu Bo and the Porcupine Douluo were locked in a standoff, neither making a move. Dugu Bo's breath of poison was swallowed by the Porcupine Douluo, and he immediately realized that this Title Douluo was someone Xue Qinghe had specifically sent to deal with him. Clearly, the opponent possessed the ability to absorb poison and convert it into his own attack power. In other words, the more poisonous gas or venom Dugu Bo released, the stronger the venom attached to the spikes on his opponent's body would become.

Therefore, Dugu Bo did not act rashly, and the Porcupine Douluo also focused his energy entirely on him instead of rushing to attack. He knew very well that in a battle between Title Douluos, even if he was stronger than Dugu Bo, he could never achieve a complete victory. The dying counterattack of a Title Douluo was simply too terrifying. Therefore, he waited, waiting for his companions to defeat Yang Wudi and Tang San, and then join forces with them to destroy Dugu Bo. This way, not only would the chances of victory be greater, but he would also be less likely to suffer serious injury.

Dugu Bo remained motionless because he was contemplating a strategy. He knew very well that among the Title Douluos, apart from his expertise in poison, he was the weakest in everything else. He simply couldn't defeat this Porcupine Douluo by confronting him head-on. So how should he deal with him?

Both men waited, but their outcomes were drastically different. The Porcupine Douluo watched in disbelief as the Serpent Spear Douluo was repelled by Yang Wudi's spear, while Dugu Bo was overjoyed; how could he let such an opportunity slip by? With a flick of his body, he unleashed his Martial Soul True Form.

A piercing howl erupted from his mouth, and emerald green light burst forth from his body. His seventh spirit ring shone brightly, and his tall, thin frame expanded continuously within the emerald light, soaring upwards. His emerald scales, also rhomboid in shape, looked like inlaid pieces of jade. His human body had vanished; Dugu Bo had transformed into a gigantic emerald green serpent, thirty meters long and as thick as a water vat. Most of its body stood upright, enveloped in a thick, misty green aura. Its massive body twisted slightly, and its giant tail lashed out from the other direction of the porcupine spirit master, forming a pincer attack with Yang Wudi.

At this moment, Tang San, standing behind Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo, smiled. He wasn't smiling because of the current situation, but because of his good fortune.

Admittedly, the two Title Douluos summoned by Xue Qinghe were more than enough to completely counter Dugu Bo. However, Yang Wudi's presence also countered both of these Soul Masters. Yang Wudi alone was certainly not enough, as he was still only a Soul Douluo. But if Yang Wudi were to add himself to the mix, then his strength wouldn't be much weaker than that of a Title Douluo.

The porcupine spirit master, whose appearance had become extremely ugly due to the possession of his spirit, suddenly let out a shrill cry. Despite being attacked from both sides, his reaction was still extremely fast. His spherical body suddenly contracted, and then his fifth spirit ring shone with purple light, causing his contracted body to expand again like lightning. Nearly a hundred poisonous thorns attached to his body shot out simultaneously, heading towards Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo respectively.

These detached venomous stingers were not only coated with the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King venom that Dugu Bo had previously spewed, but also with all the potent venom of the porcupine spirit master himself. The powerful spray was terrifying. Taking this opportunity, he quickly retreated, intending to rejoin the Serpent Spear spirit master who had sprung back up.

Dugu Bo's enormous body clearly couldn't dodge, nor did he intend to. His massive snake tail swept in front of him, creating a green whirlwind that blocked his path.

Yang Wudi's aggression remained terrifying. His Soul-Breaking Spear did not pause for a moment. He became one with the spear, his fifth soul ring lit up, and black flames covered his entire body. He touched the ground with his toes, as if he was about to emerge from the gaps between the poisonous thorns.

As the Poisonous Pufferfish Soul Master retreated, a cold smile crept across his face. "Do you think my poisonous stings are so easy to dodge?" Suddenly, more than half of the densely packed stings in mid-air exploded, scattering into large fragments in all directions. However, the area affected was cleverly controlled, ensuring that it wouldn't touch the Soul Masters disguised as Imperial Guards on the outer perimeter.

Yang Wudi's weakness was immediately exposed. As a purely offensive Soul Master, he was ill-equipped to handle such varied attack methods. He showed no intention of backing down, but the black flames around him intensified, amplifying his attack power to an even more terrifying level. Attacking with attack was his best option in this situation. He was willing to be injured himself to ensure his own attacks landed on his opponent.

Just then, a spinning yellow-green orb of light suddenly appeared in front of Yang Wudi. It wasn't aimed at him, but rather it arced upwards from beneath him, propelling him forward. Just as the porcupine spirit master's poisonous spikes and fragments were about to reach Yang Wudi, the yellow-green light suddenly erupted, transforming into a massive net. Spinning violently, it acted like a shield, blocking all the attacks. This was Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor third spirit skill, Spider Web Binding.

The abilities of a soul skill are fixed, but the way it's applied depends on the soul master's own intuition. In this respect, Tang San undoubtedly excels.

The spiderweb bounced back from the powerful impact of the poisonous stingers, enveloping Yang Wudi. However, the poisonous stingers and fragments were launched too quickly, and thus all of them adhered to the spiderweb.

Tang San, of course, wouldn't let the spider web trap Yang Wudi. Under his mental control, the spider web instantly contracted, wrapping around the poisonous stingers and curling into a large ball. The curled-up position was exactly where the tip of Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear was located.

The Soul-Breaking Spear touched the spiderweb-like sphere and thrust forward without pausing. The first Soul Skill was released, the spear tip vibrated, and the spiderweb-like sphere was the first to bounce out and smash towards the porcupine Soul Master. Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear suddenly expanded, and the seventh Soul Ring lit up under the circumstances.

In terms of continuously improving his attack power, Yang Wudi is definitely among the top three in the Soul Master world. This is assuming all Title Douluos are included.

Simultaneously, a blue-gold light rose from the ground, and sixteen Blue Silver Emperors instantly transformed into a cage, enveloping the Porcupine Douluo within. Although this level of imprisonment was nothing to a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, a mere moment's delay was enough. After all, even a Title Douluo had to break through the cage to escape. And in this crucial moment of decisive battle, this brief instant could lead to a completely different outcome.

On the other side, Dugu Bo also blocked the poisonous sting attack with his defensive soul skill and the strength of his martial soul true form. Although the porcupine douluo's poisonous sting was powerful, it could only slow down Dugu Bo, who had activated his martial soul true form, was protected by strong scales, and was skilled in using poison. At this time, Dugu Bo's transformed form, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, had also freed up his hands. Although he was slowed down, the distance was closer, and his body was huge, so he was definitely faster than the Serpent Spear Douluo in entering the battlefield.

With Tang San's ability to create opportunities and Yang Wudi's offensive capabilities, the Porcupine Douluo is already in a predicament of being surrounded by three forces.

In this situation, the strength of a Title Douluo-level expert was revealed. Faced with the surrounding constraints, Yang Wudi's powerful attack, and the impending arrival of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, the Porcupine Douluo made the most correct choice. His already swollen body suddenly shone brightly with his seventh spirit ring, and in an instant, his entire body swelled again, increasing in size exponentially compared to before. In this process, he completely ignored the limitations of the Blue Silver Cage, forcefully breaking through the massive blue-gold cage. Just before Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear arrived, he had transformed into a massive sphere with a diameter of ten meters. Moreover, the lost spikes regrown, each spike as ferocious as the Eight Spider Lances, reaching nearly three meters in length.

Black flames spewed forth as Yang Wudi's Soul-Shattering Spear, at its peak power, plunged straight into the center of the opponent's body. All the fierce momentum was poured into this single strike, completely disregarding any changes in the opponent's defenses; the attack of the Soul-Shattering Spear remained unchanged. The ferocity was extreme.

Meanwhile, the Serpent Spear Douluo on the other side reacted accordingly. Being wounded by Yang Wudi, a Soul Douluo, was a great humiliation for him, so naturally, he targeted Yang Wudi. His serpent spear flew from his hand, transforming into a bolt of lightning under the influence of his fifth soul ring, heading straight for Yang Wudi. It was a move designed to attack where the enemy was forced to defend.

The Serpent Spear Douluo's calculations of position were extremely precise. If Yang Wudi's spear pierced the Porcupine Douluo, then his serpent spear would inevitably pierce through Yang Wudi's body as well. Although he wasn't a pure attack-oriented Soul Master like Yang Wudi, as a Title Douluo, if his desperate serpent spear were to land on Yang Wudi, Yang Wudi would have no chance of survival.

Would Yang Wudi dodge? No, of course not. He would never do anything that would diminish his aura. Just as if he didn't feel the threat posed by the Serpent Spear, his Soul-Breaking Spear, which had reached its peak of power, still pierced the suddenly swollen body of the Porcupine Douluo even with the amplification of Tang San's Killing God Domain.

With a soft "pop," as if something had broken in half, the extremely inflated body of the Porcupine Douluo, like a punctured balloon, shot out with a "pop," its massive sphere, ten meters in diameter, tracing several irregular arcs in the air as it hurtled into the distance.

When the Soul-Shattering Spear pierced the Porcupine Douluo's body, Yang Wudi sensed something amiss. It seemed as if his opponent had deliberately allowed him to pierce his body. Although the black flames successfully invaded his opponent's body, Yang Wudi couldn't feel any damage from his own black flames. It was as if the Porcupine Douluo was actively disengaging from the battlefield, rather than being sent flying by his spear.

At the same time, Tang San suddenly appeared beside Yang Wudi, his body protected by golden light, blocking the spear thrown by the Serpent Spear Douluo.

With a loud clang, the spear bounced back. The Invincible Golden Body effect meant that even a Title Douluo couldn't harm him for those three seconds. Of course, Tang San's Invincible Golden Body usage was limited. Having gained a deeper understanding of the spirit rings and spirit bones Xiao Wu had given him, Tang San had discovered that his sixth spirit skill, Xiao Wu's Eight-Stage Frenzy Throw, could only be used once. Similarly, the Invincible Golden Body could only be used a maximum of three times a day, unlike Instant Teleportation, which could be used multiple times.

The Porcupine Douluo returned to his form before using his Martial Soul True Body and landed beside Xue Qinghe. The Serpent Spear Douluo also retracted his serpent spear in mid-air. Because of his previous injuries, he dared not venture too far alone and bounced back, landing on the other side of Xue Qinghe.

In the brief encounter, Xue Qinghe never expected that his side, which had two Title Douluos, would be completely at a disadvantage.

Serpent Spear Douluo was seriously injured, and a layer of black mist was rising from the body of Porcupine Douluo, making his already ferocious face even more hideous. Although he escaped the battlefield by relying on the special ability of his Martial Soul True Body, Yang Wudi's attack power was simply too strong. The black flame contained in that spear, as well as the attack power itself, caused great damage to his internal body, making his injuries even more severe than those of Serpent Spear Douluo.

This was certainly due to the formidable strength of Tang San and his companions, but it was also because the two Title Douluos underestimated them from the start. Although Dugu Bo was also a Title Douluo, they completely looked down on him, a Soul Master of the same level known for his poison skills. Tang San and Yang Wudi were utterly disregarded. This led to a series of setbacks that followed.

With a slight frown, Xue Qinghe raised his hand to stop the two Title Douluos from rejoining the battle. Looking at Tang San and the other two, a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes. "Good, very good. As expected of Tang Hao's son. May I ask your name, Soul Douluo? Such powerful attack power. I'm afraid no one at the Soul Douluo level can surpass your attack power." If it weren't for Yang Wudi's overwhelming attack power, even if the two Title Douluos had underestimated him, they wouldn't have been unable to react in time. On the surface, it seemed that the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo had been defeated by this one Soul Douluo, while Tang San and Dugu Bo were more of a distraction.

Yang Wudi raised the Soul-Shattering Spear in his hand and said with a cold expression, "Yang Wudi."

The Serpent Spear Douluo standing to Xue Qinghe's left showed a flicker of emotion. "Could it be Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan?"

Yang Wudi proudly replied, "Exactly." Having repelled two Title Douluos in succession, his aura had reached its peak, and his martial soul could only unleash its strongest power in this state. Now, even if he were to fight a Title Douluo one-on-one, his aura would not weaken in the slightest. The greatest advantage of the pure attack Soul-Breaking Spear was that it could not be overwhelmed by the aura of any enemy; even the pressure of a Title Douluo could not affect its performance.

Xue Qinghe suddenly realized, "I see. You're from the Po clan of the Haotian Sect. No wonder you helped Tang San."

Yang Wudi snorted coldly, "My Po clan has long had no connection with the Haotian Sect. I am helping Tang San, and it has nothing to do with the Haotian Sect." His hatred for the Haotian Sect will not change because of his relationship with Tang San.

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, "Tang San, you've surprised me once again. It seems the information I obtained is still incomplete. You always manage to create miracles. However, do you think you can escape unscathed today? You won't have any reinforcements. Within the Heaven Dou Empire's palace, even if you had wings, you couldn't escape. How about we discuss some terms?"

"What conditions should we discuss?" Tang San asked calmly.

His greatest wish was to buy time, so he wasn't in a hurry to attack. Although the two Title Douluos were injured, even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily, let alone a powerhouse of this level. Once they fought desperately, the power they unleashed would still be something their side might not be able to withstand. Taking this opportunity, Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo could also temporarily rest and recover from their previous exhaustion.

Xue Qinghe smiled calmly and said, "I don't need to hide anything from you. I have complete control over the situation in Heaven Dou City. That's right, I'm cooperating with the Spirit Hall. Moreover, this time I've transferred as many as three thousand Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall to infiltrate Heaven Dou City. The royal family has a total of four thousand Spirit Masters, two thousand of whom are training under your teacher, Grandmaster, and the other two thousand are stationed in the palace. As the Crown Prince, they will naturally obey my orders. In other words, I have a total of five thousand Spirit Masters under my command. I think the reason you released the signal flare was undoubtedly to seek help from two sides. One is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is located in the palace, and the other is Grandmaster from Shrek Academy. Among the three thousand Spirit Masters I transferred from the Spirit Hall this time, there are four Spirit Hall elders. In addition to these two, there are two others who are currently leading a total of three thousand Spirit Masters, including the two thousand Spirit Masters in the palace, to surround the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It's impossible for them to come to your rescue."

"As for Grandmaster, I recently sent a letter to the leader of the royal soul masters training there, informing him that Shrek Academy might rebel and instructing him to keep a close watch. Even though Grandmaster is highly respected among these soul masters, he can't possibly mobilize these royal soul masters to attack the palace. Furthermore, these soul masters will also tie down the students of Shrek Academy. At the same time, to be on the safe side, I've also dispatched a thousand Spirit Hall soul masters to monitor Shrek Academy, so that even if anything changes, they can be stopped immediately. There's no way those academy students can break through this barrier."

At this point, Xue Qinghe chuckled lightly, "Although my original plan was to delay action for several months, it's been brought forward a bit. But how could you possibly disrupt such years of planning by yourself? Within this palace, I personally command a thousand Soul Masters and my personal guards to control the situation. Once my father dies from the poison, I can rightfully inherit the throne. At that time, not only will the two thousand Soul Masters from Shrek Academy be under my command, but the entire army of Heaven Dou City will also be at my disposal. I will be the new ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire. The accumulation of so many years is something you cannot destroy. Your insistence will only lead to the wasted death of your precious lives."

At this point, Xue Qinghe stepped forward, his smile widening, his confident demeanor revealing his masterful command of the situation.

"Stop struggling and persisting. Whatever your goals, you must first live, right? Even if not for yourself, you should think about Xiao Wu, who sacrificed herself for you. Although I don't know how you resurrected Xiao Wu, I can see that she is still very abnormal. To be honest, I'm a little jealous that you were able to obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring, but I hope you can stand on my side. You should be able to see that I am a person who will stop at nothing to achieve my goals. Even the hatred of killing one's father can be put aside. Tang San, submit to me, and I will name any conditions you set. As long as you sincerely help me, I can even make you second only to the Heaven Dou Empire. I value your talent and your potential. From this Senior Yang Wudi, I can see that you have no connection with the Clear Sky Sect anymore. The Clear Sky Sect, that coward, will naturally not stand up for you. Submitting to me is the best choice for your future development."

Seeing the deceptively sincere look on Xue Qinghe's face, Tang San slowly nodded. "Although I dislike you, I have to admit you're right. If I choose to submit to you, my future will undoubtedly be smooth sailing. However, the conditions I propose are not ones you can agree to."

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true. You underestimate my ability to handle things. Perhaps I can agree to your request?"

A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. "I have two conditions. Since you already know about Xiao Wu, you naturally understand that I will definitely avenge her in the future. My first condition is that you kill everyone who attacked Xiao Wu and me in the Star Dou Great Forest right in front of me, including Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Can you do that?"

Xue Qinghe frowned slightly, surprisingly not immediately refusing Tang San. Instead, he appeared to be pondering, seemingly carefully weighing the pros and cons. After a long while, he slowly nodded. "Although this condition is difficult, I can consider it. But the prerequisite is that your own strength must reach the level of a Title Douluo before I can agree to this condition. Because only when you become a Title Douluo will the benefits you bring me outweigh the benefits brought by those two elders. As for the others, I remember that Hu Liena has never laid a hand on you. Apart from her, the others are not a problem."

Tang San carefully observed the expressions of the two Title Douluos beside Xue Qinghe. Although their faces darkened upon hearing Xue Qinghe's words, neither of them, despite their status as elders of the Spirit Hall, dared to refute him. This alone demonstrated Xue Qinghe's high standing within the Spirit Hall.

When Xue Qinghe considered Tang San's proposed conditions, he was indeed taking Tang San's potential into account. He was a man who prioritized self-interest, and in his mind, Tang San's role was more important than that of the two aging Title Douluos. That's why he said he would agree in the future, when Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo would be old and their remaining value would have been almost fully extracted. Using them to gain Tang San's allegiance would obviously be very worthwhile.

Seeing Tang San's somewhat surprised look, Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Tang San, this is enough to prove my sincerity, isn't it? I may not be a good person, but I have never broken a promise."

Tang San nodded and said, "I believe you. Sometimes a true villain is indeed more endearing than a hypocrite."

A hint of joy appeared on Xue Qinghe's face. "So, you agree?" If you were to ask him who he valued most within Heaven Dou City, it wouldn't be Tang San before him, nor Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but rather Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang at Shrek Academy. While Tang San's potential was immense, he was, after all, just one person. But with Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang present, countless powerful Soul Masters could be cultivated. And Tang San was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's only disciple; if he were willing to pledge allegiance, then Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's side would naturally be no problem.

In this way, the value brought by Tang San is immense, not only to Grandmaster but also to Shrek Academy. Xue Qinghe is well aware of Tang San's position among the Shrek Seven Devils and within Shrek Academy.

Tang San shook his head. "No, I haven't agreed yet. As I just said, I have two conditions. That was only the first one."

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "Then it's settled. I can even agree to the condition of sacrificing two Title Douluos, so what else is impossible? The Heaven Dou Empire occupies half of the continent, and with the support of the Spirit Hall, it's very likely that there will only be one empire on this continent in the future."

Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Tang San felt a chill run down his spine, and the Spirit Hall's plan became crystal clear. Although he didn't yet understand why Xue Qinghe held such a high position and received such unwavering support from the Spirit Hall, he could imagine that if the Spirit Hall supported him in this way, backed by the entire Spirit Hall, then the Star Luo Empire would be utterly unable to contend with the Heaven Dou Empire. At that point, the Spirit Hall would unify the continent through the Heaven Dou Empire, a method that would obviously be the most acceptable to ordinary people.

From the moment the Spirit Hall spared no expense in destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and severely crippling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the entire massive plan began to unfold. The destruction of these two major sects not only solidified the Spirit Hall's monopoly in the soul master world but also effectively cleared away obstacles within the Heaven Dou Empire. The Clear Sky Sect's closure was no longer a problem; even if it reopened, it would only have direct disciples, insufficient in number. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan destroyed, the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, besides the Spirit Hall, possessed the strongest soul master power within the entire Heaven Dou Empire. Thus, the Heaven Dou Empire itself would be free of obstacles.

The climax continues. The following books are really fast-paced, so I have to ask for more monthly votes. It's almost the end of the month, everyone should have some leftovers by now. Hand them all over! Hehe.
