Douro Continent

Chapter 652 The Six Great Elders, Peak Douluo

Ten thousand Tang soldiers were certainly not enough to decide the victory in this war, but they undoubtedly opened a breach for the Heavenly Dou Empire's army to charge. More and more Heavenly Dou Empire troops poured into Jialing Pass. When the defenses inside the four city gates were completely breached, accompanied by a thunderous roar, the Heavenly Dou Empire's heavy cavalry legion charged into the city in one fell swoop.

Soul Masters are indeed powerful, but facing a charge of tens of thousands of heavy cavalry, how many could they possibly kill without adequate preparation? Especially since the top-tier Soul Masters were already entangled on the city walls. At this point, the all-out offensive had evolved from a siege into close combat. Meanwhile, the million-strong army of the Heaven Dou Empire had swept up the enemy forces from outside Jialing Pass with overwhelming force.

The new emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Beng, knew very well that once more than one-fifth of his army entered Jialing Pass, the war could be put to an end. At that time, the enemy would have no power left to resist.

Even Bibi Dong, perched atop the city walls, was finding it increasingly difficult to withstand Tang San's steady yet fierce attacks. She sensed the tide had turned and hesitated, wondering whether to order a retreat. However, abandoning Jialing Pass would leave the Spirit Empire with no resistance against the Heaven Dou Empire's army. If the Heaven Dou Empire's forces, in conjunction with the Star Luo Empire, captured the other pass, and the two empires joined forces, the Spirit Empire would likely be finished. No matter how strong or numerous the Soul Masters, they couldn't possibly fight against a million-strong army on the front lines!

Just when the Martial Soul Empire was in dire straits, with the city beginning to retreat steadily and the two great Soul Master legions about to be unable to withstand the steel torrent, suddenly, several long howls rang out from behind Jialing Pass.

The howling sounds were distant and powerful, as captivating as a surging torrent. On this battlefield with tens of thousands of soldiers, these howling sounds seemed to suppress the momentum of the Heavenly Dou Empire's army. The rolling sound waves resounded in the air like one thunderclap after another.

Upon hearing the howl, Tang San's expression immediately turned serious as he used his halberd to knock away the exhausted Bibi Dong. The howl might be indistinguishable to others, but with his spiritual power, he immediately sensed the immense threat it posed.

That was the howling sound of six people, yes, six people. And they were still ten miles away from Jialing Pass, yet the howling sound had already reached Jialing Pass with such terrifying force. Moreover, they were approaching Jialing Pass at an astonishing speed; ten miles was merely a matter of a dozen breaths for them. And the powerhouses capable of achieving such an effect were no ordinary individuals. Tang San, though unwilling to admit it, vaguely guessed the strength of these people.

Even more terrifying was that these six people didn't come alone; behind them was a group of people breathing heavily and moving with incredible speed—around five thousand in number. What surprised Tang San most was that the combined howl of these six people even caused his mental strength, at its level, to momentarily waver. He could only perceive the situation, unable to investigate further. The howl had disrupted his mental power. It's worth noting that before this, after he returned to the mainland from Seagod Island, only two people had achieved the same result: his great-grandfather, who had been corrupted by his inner demons and become the King of Slaughter, and Bibi Dong at her peak.

These voices, however, originated from the other side of Jialing Pass, within the Spirit Empire. Undoubtedly, they belonged to the Spirit Empire. The word "offering" immediately flashed through Tang San's mind. Offerings from the Elder Hall of the Spirit Empire.

Although he had anticipated the arrival of the Elders of the Spirit Empire, especially the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, he hadn't expected them to arrive at such a crucial moment. Moreover, there were six of them. Fortunately, Tang San didn't sense any powerhouses of Bibi Dong's caliber among the six long howls, meaning that the Elder Hall Master, Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, was not among them. But it was precisely this that highlighted the power of the Spirit Empire.

However, Tang San quickly noticed a problem. Upon hearing the six long howls, Bibi Dong was also stunned. Clearly, she did not know the existence of these six elders, nor did she know why they had come at this time.

With a fierce clench of his teeth, Tang San's eyes gleamed. Taking advantage of the fact that the six people still needed some time to arrive, he was determined to kill Bibi Dong first. Once Bibi Dong was dead, even if the Spirit Empire still had a large number of powerful individuals, future wars would become much easier.

The reason Tang San hadn't gone all out earlier was to gradually wear down Bibi Dong's mental and spiritual power. After all, Bibi Dong's strength was immense, and Tang San didn't want to push her too far. Otherwise, her final, desperate attack would have been terrifying. He maintained immense pressure, but not to the point where Bibi Dong couldn't withstand it, so she wouldn't have launched such a desperate counterattack. After all, who doesn't want to live? Especially since Bibi Dong possessed her ninth spirit skill, which granted her immortality. Bibi Dong understood Tang San's intentions, but she was also waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the angelic legion below to gain the upper hand and then come to the aid of the city walls.

Seeing that the Heaven Dou Empire's army had already entered Jialing Pass and her hopes were about to be dashed, Bibi Dong was already determined to fight to the death and was thinking about how to escape when the six long howls appeared at just the right moment. At that moment, Tang San's attack suddenly became terrifying.

The golden light on the Trident of Poseidon shone brightly, more than twice as strong as before. Bibi Dong's main body and clone tightened at the same time. The Blue Silver Emperor's first soul skill, Entanglement, and second soul skill, Parasite, took effect almost simultaneously. These two soul skills, which had been upgraded to more than 50,000 years, even made Bibi Dong, who was at the level of this, pause for a moment. She opened her Death Domain to its fullest extent, and while frantically corroding, large pieces of sharp blades protruded from the carapace, tearing the Blue Silver Emperor to shreds.

However, in that instant of pause, Tang San had already taken to the air, and his left hand instantly pressed down towards Bibi Dong. A strong yellow light condensed into a shield, enveloping Bibi Dong's body. Bibi Dong felt her whole body become heavy, as if she had become ten times heavier.

It was Tang San's Titan Giant Ape left arm bone that possessed the soul skill Gravity Control. The reason soul bones are so precious, besides having an extra skill, is that most soul bone skills are instantaneous. The increased gravity immediately slowed Bibi Dong's speed in breaking through the entanglement and parasitism skills by half a beat.

The unprecedented pressure made Bibi Dong feel suffocated, but she wasn't so easily defeated. Tang San hadn't gone all out, and she also had her final trump card. Gritting her teeth, a strong red light suddenly burst forth from her chest, instantly spreading to her entire chest and back. The red light looked extremely strange, as if Bibi Dong's own bones were emerging from her body. There was only one possibility for this effect: the most important of her six soul bones, the body soul bone. Judging from its color, Bibi Dong's soul bone was at the 100,000-year level.

With her entire body made of bones that had stood for 100,000 years, Bibi Dong's chest shell suddenly split open to the sides amidst a burst of red light. Inside, a powerful red light emanated, giving the impression that a giant eye had sprouted from her chest. What was even more terrifying was that this was not just Bibi Dong's individual action. Both Bibi Dongs under Tang San's gravity control experienced the same thing, and the red light within them caused even Tang San's soul to tremble violently.

However, Tang San, still in mid-air, showed no intention of retreating. He knew very well that if he retreated now, he would probably lose the chance to kill Bibi Dong again, as the six howling figures were getting closer and closer. Once they realized Bibi Dong was in danger, they would definitely come to her rescue immediately.

A golden phantom emerged from behind Tang San. Although the phantom was blurry, the majestic aura emanating from its tall figure, along with the sudden burst of light from the Heart of the Sea God on the Trident of the Sea God, caused Tang San to unleash an aura of unprecedented power.

With his left hand maintaining gravity control and his right hand wielding the Trident of Poseidon, he drew a strange golden circle in the air. The circle was large enough to envelop Tang San's entire body. Just then, two thick red beams, each nearly a foot in diameter, suddenly blasted towards Tang San.

hum-

The Unstable Storm defensive aura encountered the impact of the two red lights. In an instant, the Sea God Trident in Tang San's hand rang out with a series of buzzing sounds. Tang San clearly felt that the golden aura in front of him shattered rapidly, and the Sea God Trident in his hand was suppressed and unable to be raised to launch an attack again for a moment.

A sinister glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. She had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. While her mental strength was indeed injured, her foundation was still extremely deep. She understood perfectly well why Tang San had suddenly launched a full-force attack. She had taken advantage of Tang San's current impatience to launch this sudden attack. This attack was something she had planned long ago. It was an all-out attack; for this strike, she had even poured all her remaining mental strength into it.

Bibi Dong could see that Tang San was the spiritual pillar of the Heaven Dou Empire's army. Just as Tang San wanted to kill her, if she could kill him, the blow to the Heaven Dou Empire's army would be immeasurable. It was impossible for the main body and the clone to activate their soul bone skills simultaneously, but Bibi Dong's other soul bone was similar to Oscar's mirror soul bone, except that Oscar copied the main body, while her soul bone copied the soul skill.

Therefore, Bibi Dong used all her strength to copy this soul skill onto her clone, one reason being to prevent Tang San from distinguishing between her true form and clone, and the other being to completely destroy Tang San under this double attack.

This is also Bibi Dong's trump card. You must know that with her level of cultivation, the power of two all-out attacks at the same time is enough to rival that of a god.

While her clone could still use her abilities, it was significantly weakened compared to her original body. Tang San also had various methods to reduce the combined power of her original body and clone. If it weren't for Tang San's hasty attack, she would have had a hard time finding this opportunity. More importantly, the skill attack she copied from the past was exactly the same in power as her original attack.

The two beams of red light were not a concentrated attack. One of them struck the Trident of the Sea God in Tang San's right hand, while the other was aimed at Tang San's body.

Through several battles with Tang San, Bibi Dong had discovered that Tang San was quite reliant on the Trident of the Sea God. She had also long ago determined that the Trident of the Sea God was a true divine artifact, something that she, at her current level, could not destroy. However, not being able to destroy it did not mean that she could not temporarily suppress it.

With a full-force attack using her body's soul bones, Bibi Dong was able to suppress Tang San, temporarily rendering the Sea God's Trident unable to swing or unleash its power. Her other attack, however, was absolutely fatal. Tang San's cultivation was inherently inferior to hers; his only means of contending with her was the Sea God's Trident. Suppressing the Sea God's Trident and unleashing a full-force attack, Bibi Dong left herself no room for error. Such an attack would only be effective if Tang San retained his former invincible golden body defense. Xiao Wu, who had previously blocked Bibi Dong's fatal blow for him, was still far away, and Bibi Dong was so close to Tang San that she couldn't provide timely assistance.

Amidst a piercing cracking sound, the golden halo conjured by the Unstable Wind and Waves shattered instantly, and in a flash, Tang San was enveloped in a crimson aura.

"No--"

"Teacher, no!"

Xiao Wu and Hu Liena exclaimed almost simultaneously. However, their worry, as well as the ruthless and triumphant smile in Bibi Dong's eyes, vanished in the next moment. The red light that should have struck Tang San's chest was instead reflected off, shooting straight into the sky, leaving a thousand-meter-long trail of red light before disappearing like a dazzling meteor.

"Impossible!" Although Bibi Dong was struggling to stand due to the full force of that attack, she couldn't help but exclaim in shock. She couldn't understand why this had happened. Her soul power was still plentiful, but the mental energy consumed by that attack had blurred everything before her eyes. The last thing she could clearly see was a half-meter-diameter red mirror crystal on Tang San's chest, which had been reduced to dust.

At the same time, the Heart of the Sea God shone brightly, causing the Trident of the Sea God to break free from the red light's restraints like a golden dragon. It transformed into a circle of golden light that revolved around Tang San's body, completely dissipating the aftershocks of Bibi Dong's attack. Tang San only appeared slightly pale; he was not seriously injured at all.

Would Tang San carelessly reveal a weakness? That wouldn't be Tang San. As a top-tier control-type expert, he constantly reminds himself to remain calm. Bibi Dong is waiting for an opportunity, and so is he. His earlier impatience was merely a facade he created for Bibi Dong. He naturally understood that Bibi Dong would guess his intentions, so he simply went along with it, drawing out Bibi Dong's fatal attack. At that moment, Tang San was focused entirely on defense, showing no intention of launching a powerful attack.

Indeed, Bibi Dong's attack, formed from her body's soul bone, was extremely powerful, even suppressing the Trident of the Sea God in an instant. But Tang San also had his own methods. Did he lack his 100,000-year soul bone and soul skills?

Shielded by the light of the Sea God, Tang San's eighth spirit ring, the Blue Silver Emperor, shone brightly. He activated his eighth spirit skill, the Blue Silver Demonic Mirror of Annihilation. However, this time, he didn't extinguish the mirror. Instead, he concentrated all the energy of the spirit skill at the location of Bibi Dong's attack, forming a crystal plane mirror angled diagonally upwards. A direct confrontation might not be enough to withstand it, but reflecting it diagonally upwards was much easier. Although the halo formed by the Unstable Storm couldn't block the attack, it gave Tang San ample time to react. Bibi Dong's full-force attack only slightly disturbed Tang San's spirit power; with his powerful physique, this injury was nothing. However, Bibi Dong, after unleashing her full-force attack, was in a much worse state.

Both the main body and the clone became ethereal for a moment, then rapidly approached each other. Bibi Dong swayed violently, nearly falling to the ground. Tang San suddenly realized why he couldn't distinguish which was Bibi Dong's clone; her soul skill had actually divided her body into two parts, each real yet not truly real. If he attacked one of them with all his might, the clone would likely become an illusion. However, at this moment, Bibi Dong had no chance.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted like a tidal wave. Tang San shouted, and a burst of intense golden light instantly enveloped Bibi Dong's two bodies that were about to merge.

With a muffled groan, blood gushed from Bibi Dong's mouth, nose, and ears, flowing like a stream, making her, now transformed into the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen, appear even more ferocious. Her main body and clone were forcibly squeezed together and merged into one amidst this powerful mental shock.

At that moment, Tang San pointed his right hand forward, and his entire body shot forward like a golden ray of light. The Trident of the Sea God shone brightly. At this moment, Bibi Dong, who was completely locked onto by Tang San, had her soul injury deepened, and her mental strength was on the verge of collapse. Let alone resisting, even using her immortal soul skills was impossible. Mental trauma is far more terrifying than physical injury.

In the distance, behind Jialing Pass, six powerful figures appeared, hurtling towards them at lightning speed. However, they were too late to rescue Bibi Dong. The intense divine light of the Trident of the Sea God was about to completely engulf Bibi Dong.

Just as Tang San was about to succeed and the first emperor of the Spirit Empire was about to fall, suddenly, a figure pounced from the side, hugged Bibi Dong from the front, and left his back to the blade of the Sea God Trident.

Tang San was shocked. His attack not only carried an unstoppable momentum but also possessed unparalleled speed, making it extremely difficult to retract the attack now. Instinctively, he slightly shifted his body, his left shoulder slamming into the halberd shaft, causing the golden light to deviate slightly.

With a soft "poof," blood splattered. The person who had blocked Bibi Dong had a deep gash on their right arm, and as blood gushed out, they collapsed onto Bibi Dong under the divine power emanating from the trident of the sea god. The one who had suddenly appeared, attempting to die in Bibi Dong's place, was none other than Hu Liena.

When Bibi Dong attacked Tang San earlier, she had already rushed forward, thinking that even if it meant dying in his place, it would be a relief. But who knew the situation would suddenly reverse, and it was her teacher who was now in mortal danger? She rushed over and, without hesitation, blocked Bibi Dong's path again. The cool touch on her arm made Hu Liena feel weak all over, and she collapsed into her teacher's arms, feeling a sense of relief. Am I dead? Died at his hands? Perhaps, this is the best ending.

"Silly girl, you..." The blood splattered from Hu Liena's arm splashed all over Bibi Dong's face, which also made her confused mind a little clearer. She quickly hugged Hu Liena tightly, and her previously crazy eyes finally softened.

Having missed his first attack, Tang San had lost his chance to strike again. Three of the six rapidly approaching figures instantly split off, heading straight for the top of Jialing Pass. To be precise, they were heading straight for Tang San. The powerful pressure made Tang San dare not attack Bibi Dong again. Otherwise, even if he could kill Bibi Dong, he would definitely be defeated and killed by the three powerful attacks.

The earlier roar had already given Tang San some insight, but now, facing them in person, he realized even more deeply just how powerful these six people who were approaching so rapidly were—even more so than he had imagined.

Almost simultaneously with the release of pressure, the three figures separated. Two of them rushed towards Tang San, while the third landed in front of Bibi Dong. He was an old man with white hair and beard. While blocking Bibi Dong, he quickly tapped Hu Liena's shoulder with his fingers, sealing her blood vessels. At the same time, he slapped Bibi Dong's shoulder, restoring some of her mental strength, which was on the verge of collapse.

"Your Majesty, let's retreat first." The powerful soul force enveloped Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, and the old man rose up, leading Bibi Dong and her disciple towards Jialing Pass.

Tang San watched helplessly as Bibi Dong was rescued, and he was also facing the most difficult battle since leaving the Sea God Island.

At the same time, attacking Tang San were two brothers. Although both were elderly men with white hair and beards, appearing to be at least eighty years old, their appearances were remarkably similar, and their martial souls were exactly the same. Each wielded a twelve-foot-long Coiled Dragon Staff, adorned with a golden dragon coiled on its top. The spirit rings on the staffs were also identical in color, exhibiting the optimal ratio of two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings—nine in total.

What was most terrifying was the soul power they released. The instantaneous pressure made Tang San feel like he couldn't breathe. This was definitely not something an ordinary Title Douluo could achieve. In just a moment, Tang San judged that the two old men's soul power had reached at least level ninety-six, completely overwhelming him in terms of soul power.

Moreover, having reached level ninety-six, their mental power was as unified as a single entity, extremely condensed. Although they could not compare to him, if he were to defend himself and try to find an opportunity to severely injure one of them with a mental attack, he would inevitably suffer a strong counterattack from the other.

With two loud clangs, Tang San stumbled back several steps before barely regaining his footing. The two old men also paused, their faces showing surprise. Although they had managed to push Tang San back, the violent trembling of the Dragon-Coiling Staff in their hands indicated that they hadn't gained much advantage from this attack.

This was certainly not because Tang San's own soul power was able to contend with two level 96 Title Douluos at the same time, but because the terrifying weight of the Sea God Trident of 108,000 jin absorbed most of the opponent's attack power.

However, for Tang San, this was definitely not a good sign. What worried him most was the three old men who had charged into the battlefield below the city walls; they were no less formidable than the two before him. With such powerful reinforcements arriving, the Heaven Dou Empire's favorable situation was likely to...

Without much time to think, the two level 96 Title Douluos attacked again. Two dragon-coiled staffs, one to the left and one to the right, one above and one below, attacked Tang San simultaneously. Their movements were not only swift but also perfectly coordinated. The third spirit rings on the staffs shone brightly, and the entire staffs expanded several times their original size, their imposing aura threatening to overshadow the golden light on Tang San's Sea God Trident. As the staffs swung, deep dragon roars echoed, disrupting Tang San's mental probing.

Faced with the attacks of these two powerful Title Douluos, Tang San couldn't help but secretly lament his predicament. If he were in his prime, he was confident that he could contend with these two. Even if the combined strength of these two level 96 Title Douluos was exquisite, it would not exceed that of Bibi Dong at her peak.

However, in recent times, he had fought Bibi Dong twice, nearly killing her, but the cost to him was enormous. His overall strength was now less than 60% of his peak, and facing the combined full-force attacks of these two well-coordinated level 96 Title Douluos, he was finding it difficult to withstand the onslaught. Especially the impact of the six elders' appearance on Tang San's aura; without even looking, he could imagine the state of the battle below the city. In the distance, at least five thousand Soul Masters had entered Jialing Pass from the rear and were heading towards the battlefield. Tang San understood that in today's battle, the Heaven Dou Empire was unlikely to fare well, and even their escape was questionable. If the Spirit Empire's Soul Masters launched a counterattack, their forces would likely collapse completely.

On the city wall of Jialing Pass, the group of powerful figures belonging to the Spirit Empire were greatly encouraged when they saw the two level 96 Title Douluos who were entangled with Tang San appear. Their attacks suddenly became more powerful, and they actually managed to turn the tide after being completely at a disadvantage.

Tang San took a deep breath, his bones cracking and popping, and his eyes shone like stars. But the golden light on the Sea God Trident in his hand receded, turning back to its original dark black.

Using the Light of Poseidon to power the Trident of Poseidon was too taxing on his mental energy. Facing these two opponents who might be even more formidable than Bibi Dong, he absolutely could not allow himself to overexert himself. In terms of overall strength, the two old men combined might even surpass Bibi Dong, but their explosive power was definitely inferior to Bibi Dong's. Therefore, Tang San didn't need to worry about them unleashing a fatal blow against him. His greatest advantage in dealing with these two was his recovery speed, which was far faster than any other Title Douluo.

Inside Jialing Pass, three loud explosions erupted simultaneously, creating three massive craters, each over thirty meters in diameter, that instantly separated the warriors of the Martial Soul Empire from those of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Limbs and severed bodies flew everywhere, and the Heavenly Dou Empire's charge was abruptly halted. The three old men stood proudly and calmly at the front of the army.

Upon seeing them, the remaining Soul Masters of the Angel Legion and the Holy Dragon Legion immediately knelt on one knee and cried out, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Whether it was the three who appeared on the city wall earlier, or the three before them, their attire was exactly the same. Unlike the black of the Soul Douluo and the red of the Title Douluo, they wore golden robes, and each of them had a different embroidered pattern, made of silver thread, representing their respective martial souls. The golden robes and silver embroidery signified that they were officially enshrined in the Elder Hall of the Spirit Hall.

Having operated for many years, the Spirit Hall possesses a profound foundation unmatched by any other spirit master sect. It originally boasted as many as twenty titled Douluo-level elders, and even after the deaths of some, the remaining number remains substantial. Even more powerful is the revered elders within the Elder Hall.

All the original enshrined members of the Spirit Hall were promoted from the elders in the Elder Hall. The conditions for promotion to enshrined member were simple, but also extremely difficult. They needed to break through level 95 and have at least level 96 or higher spirit power to be considered an enshrined member.

After becoming a High Priest, one will possess a transcendent status within the Spirit Hall, even exempt from the Pope's orders, only obeying the Elder Hall Master and the Grand Priest. They will only venture out on extremely important matters, quietly cultivating within the Elder Hall. This is why Tang San and his companions, despite encountering so many Spirit Hall Soul Douluos, have never seen one above level 95.

There were only seven elders in the Spirit Hall's Elder Hall, led by the Grand Elder, the level 99 peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu. While the six who appeared were not Qian Daoliu, they represented the Spirit Empire's strongest force—six powerful titled Douluo elders above level 95. Their appearance was undoubtedly a force capable of turning the tide of battle. Therefore, Tang San sensed danger upon hearing their roars and wanted to seize the opportunity to kill Bibi Dong. Unfortunately, Hu Liena thwarted his plan. If he could kill Bibi Dong, even if they lost the battles to come, it would be worthwhile. The combined strength of these six peak Douluo above level 95 certainly surpassed Bibi Dong's, but they were not the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, nor were they the current rulers of the Spirit Empire. If Bibi Dong died, the entire Spirit Empire would descend into chaos, but now that she was alive, everything had become delicate again.

What Tang San saw, Grandmaster naturally saw as well. He had not joined the battle before, but seeing the situation change drastically, he immediately gave the order.

"The Tang army will reload, hold the city gates, and retreat en masse!" The master shouted these words almost hoarsely. At this moment, Xue Beng and Marshal Ge Long were still outside the city and had not seen what was happening inside Jialing Pass. When they suddenly heard the master give the order to retreat, the emperor and the marshal were both stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor, he..." Marshal Goron looked at Xue Beng with confusion.

Xue Beng was equally confused about what had happened. His expression changed slightly. The situation was excellent, and he couldn't possibly retreat now. However, the Grandmaster's desperate roar suggested a change in the situation on the city wall. Tang San's opponents had changed to two powerful elders. Clearly, the situation inside the city had changed.

Xue Beng, being a young man, understood the importance of capturing Jialing Pass. He gritted his teeth, disregarded the orders from the master on the city wall, and shouted in a deep voice, "Marshal Ge Long, pass on my order: take Jialing Pass at all costs."

"Yes—" Marshal Golong was overjoyed. The great achievement of capturing Jialing Pass would probably fall into his hands. With a million soldiers rolling forward, even if reinforcements from the Martial Soul Empire appeared inside Jialing Pass, how many could they possibly make? He didn't believe that the current favorable situation would change.

Although the Grandmaster was the Imperial Advisor, he only commanded Soul Masters. Upon hearing his order and witnessing the terrifying strength of the three peak Douluo, the Heavenly Dou Empire's Soul Masters who had already stormed into the city immediately obeyed and retreated. But at that moment, the sound of war drums signaling a charge rang out from outside Jialing Pass.
