Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 300 Eastern Continent? Martial Soul Continent!

Time flies, and it's January again.

The Moon Goddess Shuttle drifted on the endless ocean. Zhu Ziyang and his companions were quite leisurely, spending their days either cultivating or having fun, and they didn't feel bored at all.

After leaving Four Symbols Island, they headed northeast. The journey was quite exciting. Although they still didn't encounter any human civilization, they did see many sea spirit beasts that couldn't be found on the Douluo Continent. For example, there was the 100,000-year-old Starry Sky Ray with a body as dazzling as the starry sky, the 100,000-year-old Silver Scale White Whale King, which was three times larger than the Purple Gold Chiwen, and the 100,000-year-old Rainbow Scale Merman Emperor with a human body and a fish tail. They were all very novel.

At noon that day, a fishing boat symbolizing human civilization appeared directly in front of the Moon Goddess Shuttle. The style of the fishing boat was slightly different from that of the fishing boats in Douluo Continent, but Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, and the other two women immediately thought of one thing: the fishing boat meant civilization!

There must be human civilization in this sea area!

"Brother, it really is a fishing boat!" Jiang Nannan excitedly grabbed Zhu Ziyang's arm and said, "Look, they're fishing!"

"Ziyang, should we go closer and ask them?" Zhang Lexuan said.

"Okay!" Zhu Ziyang nodded, subconsciously touching the spider lily mark on his forehead. There was no response, which made his joy dissipate somewhat.

The Luna Shuttle quickly approached the fishing boat, and the people on the boat immediately became alert, because the size and style of the Luna Shuttle were unlike anything they had ever seen before. Humans are always wary of the unknown.

"Stop approaching, or don't blame me for taking action!" A middle-aged man flew out of the fishing boat, with six soul rings—three yellow, two purple, and one black—appearing behind him. He was clearly a Soul Emperor, the captain of the fishing boat.

Seeing that the people on the fishing boat were taking the initiative to negotiate, Zhu Ziyang and his companions stopped their Moon Goddess Shuttle, opened the cabin, and Zhu Ziyang flew out, calling out, "Uncle, we're not bad people, we've just lost our way. Could you tell us how to get to the nearest port?"

"Lost your way?" The Soul Emperor captain looked at Zhu Ziyang with some suspicion. The aura emanating from Zhu Ziyang made him realize that this young man's identity was not simple. He was very likely an imperial nobleman. Based on the principle of avoiding trouble, the captain said, "From here, head southeast for about a day's voyage, and you will reach Violet Port of the Milan Empire."

"Well then, thank you, Uncle!" Zhu Ziyang felt a slight ripple in his heart upon hearing this, but he said with a grin before returning directly to the Moon Goddess Shuttle.

Under the watchful eyes of Captain Soul Emperor, the Moon God Shuttle slowly started up, and then its rapidly increasing speed made the captain's eyes widen. In the blink of an eye, the Moon God Shuttle disappeared from his sight.

"Wow, what kind of ship is this? It's so big and so fast! I really want one!" the captain murmured.

Inside the Moon Goddess Shuttle, Zhu Ziyang and his companions were discussing the information they had gleaned from the captain. Zhu Ziyang remarked, "This should be the sea area of ​​a continent, the Milan Empire. It seems the civilization on this continent is quite advanced."

"That person's clothing style is very different from that of the Douluo Continent, which means that the civilization on this continent is not connected with the civilization on the Douluo Continent," Zhang Lexuan also analyzed.

"Brother, are we just going to sail straight into Violet Harbor like this? Won't that be too conspicuous?" Qian Lingyi said.

"Of course not!" Zhu Ziyang said with a smile. "Let's find that continent first, and then land on a deserted beach. After all, it's still hard to say whether that continent is actually the Eastern Continent we're looking for."

The Moon Goddess Shuttle was incredibly fast; in less than a day, the four of them spotted land. There was indeed a port on that land, bustling with ships. If the Moon Goddess Shuttle were to sail directly into it, it would undoubtedly attract considerable attention. As outsiders, Zhu Ziyang and his companions didn't want to draw too much attention.

Therefore, the Moon God Shuttle submerged directly underwater, passed Violet Harbor, and continued to travel along the continent for a distance before stopping at a secluded cliff. Zhu Ziyang was the first to jump out of the Moon God Shuttle and land on the land of this continent.

The moment Zhu Ziyang's feet touched the ground, information fluctuations simultaneously emanated from the spider lily mark on his forehead and from the depths of his spiritual sea. He was instantly stunned as these two information fluctuations unfolded before his eyes at the same time.

The response from the Other Shore Flower Seal was simple, which excited Zhu Ziyang. This continent was the Eastern Continent mentioned in the Seven Trials of Death. The information from the Other Shore Flower Seal was to tell Zhu Ziyang the direction of his next move. The Reaper's Scythe was located in a place on this continent called the Mountain of the Dead.

Leaving aside the Mountain of the Dead for the moment, Zhu Ziyang's attention was immediately drawn to the information fluctuations emanating from the depths of his spiritual sea. Those fluctuations actually came from the Library in another dimension! As Zhu Ziyang grew, the help this library could provide him had become less and less, and Zhu Ziyang had almost forgotten about it. But he never expected that this library would undergo a change at this time.

Zhu Ziyang, receiving this information fluctuation, immediately opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise and shock. He hadn't expected that this alternate-space library would undergo an update the moment he set foot on this unfamiliar continent. A new area had been created within the library, and this new area was filled entirely with books from this new continent!

Why was Zhu Ziyang able to confirm that the books in the new area were from this continent? Because he saw two terms in these new books: "The Founding History of the Milan Empire" and "The History of the Violet Family".

Milan Empire, Violet—that was enough for Zhu Ziyang to be certain.

He was filled with astonishment, and his interest and curiosity about this alternate dimension library were renewed. He became more and more certain that the origin of this alternate dimension library was not simple!

"Brother, what are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Nannan's call startled him. When he came to his senses, he saw Jiang Nannan looking at him with a puzzled expression on her pretty face.

"It's nothing, I'm just receiving information from this new continent," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile.

"Is this the Eastern Continent?" Upon hearing this, the three women were overjoyed and asked in unison.

"That's right!" Zhu Ziyang nodded, and with a thought, he found a book about the general situation of this continent in the library. He looked it up himself and told Jiang Nannan and the other two.

It turns out that this continent is called the Martial Soul Continent, which is also a continent where Soul Masters flourish. The continent is only one-tenth the size of the current Douluo Continent, but it has eight human countries. Among them, the most powerful Milan Empire and Landias Empire each occupy one-third of the continent's land, while the remaining six countries share the remaining one-third of the land.

Because there are too many countries, conflicts on the Martial Soul Continent are constant. They can be roughly divided into two camps: the northern camp, led by the Milan Empire, which includes the Kingdom of Ascari, the Kingdom of Flor, and the Kingdom of Arcadia; and the southern camp, led by the Landias Empire, which includes the Kingdom of Pompeii, the Kingdom of Bourbon, and the Kingdom of Mordo.

Since their emergence, these two camps have been engaged in a war that lasted for a century, followed by a thousand years of confrontation. It was only in the last century that the surge in the power of soul beasts on the continent forced them to ease tensions and join forces to deal with the beast tide.

Listening to Zhu Ziyang recount the general situation of the Spirit Continent, Zhang Lexuan, Jiang Nannan, and Qian Lingyi all felt speechless yet extremely uncomfortable. Wasn't the current state of the Spirit Continent just like that of the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago? The only difference was that the Douluo Continent at that time had a Spirit Hall, so the conflict between the two empires wasn't very serious. However, the Spirit Continent didn't have a power with such a transcendent status as the Spirit Hall, which is why the conflict between the two empires was so severe.

Zhu Ziyang then introduced the power of soul beasts on the Martial Soul Continent. There are three major soul beast settlements on the Martial Soul Continent: the far northern wilderness in the north, the Dead Mountain Range in the central part of the continent, and the far southern desert in the south. Among them, the Dead Mountain Range in the central part of the continent is the largest soul beast settlement, the dividing line between the Milan Empire and the Landias Empire, and the main source of the beast tide on the Martial Soul Continent.

The Mountains of the Dead are an extremely long and vast mountain range. There's a saying on the Spirit Continent: "All mountains originate from the dead." This isn't a joke, but a fact. Located in the central part of the Spirit Continent, the Mountains of the Dead perfectly divide the continent into north and south. Running east to west, its easternmost point is within the Kingdom of Pompeii, extending southwards, while its westernmost point is within the Kingdom of Floro, extending northwards. Almost every mountain on the continent that can be called a mountain range extends into the Mountains of the Dead.

Therefore, the Mountain Range of the Dead is also known as the Divine Mountain by the people of the Martial Soul Continent.
