Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start

Chapter 122 The Spirit Hall Splits in Two

Without the Asura Demon Sword, the King of Slaughter was like a toothless tiger, and was brutally beaten by Li Fei. He wanted to take back the Demon Sword from Li Fei, but neither summoning nor snatching it back worked. Li Fei's power was too great, and he even suffered many wounds from the Asura Demon Sword.

As the battle raged on, the King of Slaughter grew weaker with each wound he sustained, no longer possessing the strength he once had. The phantom of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King began to appear continuously, and the crimson light in Tang Chen's eyes gradually diminished, his vision clearing.

"Heaven and Earth Break the Demon!"

Li Fei gathered the crimson-gold energy into his fist and punched Tang Chen in the chest. A crimson-gold beam of light shot out from his body, accompanied by a giant nine-headed bat that was over ten meters tall.

It's finally out!

A smile appeared on Li Fei's lips as he hurled the Trident of the Sea God, killing the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King mid-air. A crimson inner core appeared in the air.

After putting away the inner core, Li Fei turned to look at Tang Chen, who had returned to his original appearance and was shaking his head.

"Thank you for saving me!" Tang Chen, now fully conscious, looked at Li Fei and sincerely thanked him.

"No need, I was only entrusted by Senior Poseidon!" Li Fei tossed the Asura Demon Sword back to Tang Chen and continued, "Senior has waited for you for many years. With your current body, you can only last three years at most. Spend these three years with her!"

Unlike the original story where Tang San threw the Crimson Swan Kiss into the City of Slaughter, causing a surge in poison, Tang Chen's physical condition was much better after recovering. However, it was only slightly better. The moment he regained consciousness, Li Fei felt the Asura Demon Sword in his hand shoot out a massive Asura divine power, which made his already collapsing body even worse, leaving him completely beyond saving.

"She's still waiting for me!"

"She's still waiting for me!"

Tang Chen looked at the Asura Demon Sword in his hand, a bitter smile on his face, and kept muttering to himself.

"I'm going to find her!"

With a determined look in his eyes, Tang Chen turned and walked towards the Road to Hell. Li Fei followed behind him. He had completed his mission and did not want to stay in this disgusting place any longer.

After sensing Li Fei's aura, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpents of Hell Road hid at the bottom of the magma, not daring to show their heads, allowing Li Fei to pass through Hell Road and leave the City of Slaughter.

After leaving the City of Slaughter, Tang Chen bid farewell to Li Fei and headed towards the Haotian Sect. He wanted to deal with the affairs of the Haotian Sect first, and then go to Poseidon Island to spend the rest of his life with Poseidon.

Tang Chen's return put all the sects on edge. No sect could afford to be indifferent to someone who had been a Limit Douluo decades ago. In just three days, the news of the Haotian Sect's resurgence spread throughout the entire continent.

Immediately following this, the Haotian Sect announced that Haotian Douluo Tang Hao had returned to the Haotian Sect and assumed the position of Elder.

The return of the Haotian Sect has once again changed the situation across the continent. The already tense situation has become even more critical, and everyone understands that war is imminent.

Li Fei was not surprised at all when he heard this news. As the current Lord of Slaughter, Tang Hao was fully qualified to inherit the Asura Demon Sword and become the new successor of the Asura God.

For the sake of the Haotian Sect, Tang Chen would not consider passing on the Asura Demon Sword to people from other sects.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, Li Fei went directly to the Imperial Palace. The 30,000 Qi and Blood Warriors trained on Seagod Island also arrived in the Heavenly Dou Empire in batches. All of them were sent to the border of the Heavenly Dou Empire by Qian Renxue. In addition to those secretly trained by the Heavenly Dou Empire itself, the Heavenly Dou Empire now has a total of 100,000 Qi and Blood Warriors.

Moreover, pure firearms such as flintlock muskets, grenades, and cannons were also equipped throughout the army, making the Tiandou Empire the most powerful empire on the continent.

As Qian Renxue gave the order, the imperial machine began to operate. A school called the Tiandou Royal Martial Arts School appeared in every city of the Tiandou Empire. This was followed by the publication of a booklet on the basic cultivation methods of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, which spread throughout the entire empire, even to the most remote villages.

The manual describes in detail Li Fei, the creator of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, as well as the basic training methods of Qi and Blood Martial Arts. As long as you can feel Qi and Blood and are of the right age, you can go to martial arts academies in various places to train and obtain ways to condense Qi and Blood Soul Rings!

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong looked at the cultivation manual in her hand, her body trembling involuntarily. With her cultivation level, she had successfully felt the power of qi and blood after only practicing according to the cultivation method for a while.

"It's actually true! That guy Li Fei actually wants to change the entire landscape of the mainland!"

"No, I can't let him have his way. If he succeeds, I'll be forever subdued by them, and that's not what I want!"

After confirming the authenticity of the cultivation method, Bibi Dong understood that the unprecedented storm brought about by this cultivation system must not be allowed to blow up, otherwise the Spirit Hall would likely lose its dominant position in the future.

"Moon Gate, Ghostly Demon, hand over this Qi and Blood Martial Arts cultivation method to our army, and have everyone seize the time to cultivate it. Also, notify the Elder Hall and all major forces, and have them come to Martial Soul City for a meeting!"

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

Although she wanted to resist it, Bibi Dong knew that she still had to learn the Qi and Blood Martial Arts. She understood that with this cultivation method that had almost no barriers to entry, the Heaven Dou Empire would definitely have a large number of Qi and Blood Martial Arts practitioners. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to openly release the Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

After the authenticity of the Qi and Blood Martial Arts was confirmed, all the forces, sects, and families on the continent were in an uproar, and a sense of unease welled up in their hearts. The emergence of this new cultivation system would definitely reshuffle the major forces on the continent after a period of time, which was something they absolutely did not want to see.

As a result, major powers on the continent began to resist the existence of the Qi and Blood Martial Arts Academy, and even threatened ordinary people not to cultivate it.

However, this trend was not something they could stop. The Heavenly Dou Empire had long been prepared, with three thousand Shadow Guards of at least Soul King strength spread throughout the country. Any voices of resistance that appeared anywhere were quickly suppressed.

The Shadow Guards couldn't suppress it, so Li Fei, Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, and Bone Douluo personally came to the door. The mobilization of the four titled Douluos made the various forces of the Heaven Dou Empire dare not make any rash moves and could only let the Qi and Blood Martial Arts spread.

However, the Star Luo Empire was not as fortunate as the Heavenly Dou Empire. The various forces in the Star Luo Empire used bloody suppression to deal with commoners who wanted to cultivate Qi and Blood Martial Arts. They would kill those who wanted to cultivate, and at the same time, they would start cultivating themselves.

Regardless of their faction, all those who practice Qi and Blood Martial Arts, which have no entry barriers, understand that this cultivation method is the mainstream of the future, and that Soul Power will gradually become an auxiliary force.

"Bang!"

The exquisite vase shattered instantly. Star Emperor, staring at the memorial in his hand, roared in fury, "How dare they?! Who gave them the power to kill civilians at will?!"

On the table was a thick stack of memorials, almost all of which contained advice from various powers on killing civilians. In just one month, any civilian who had successfully comprehended the Qi and Blood had been killed on trumped-up charges, resulting in the deaths of at least three thousand people. Resentment was rising everywhere, and many resistance groups had been organized to rebel against the nobles and various powers.

He even sent troops to suppress them, but they were extremely lacking in high-end combat power. Unlike the Heaven Dou Empire, which had several Title Douluos in charge, the Star Luo Empire had stronger high-end combat power from its sects. Although it didn't have any Title Douluos, it had several times more Soul Douluos than the empire. Even the Star Luo Emperor couldn't do anything about them.

A Soul Saint can fight against ten thousand men in the army, and a Soul Douluo is even more terrifying. Most importantly, people with this level of cultivation are capable of assassination, and the Star Luo royal family and local officials and generals have basically no way to resist them. They are lambs to the slaughter.

At this moment, the Star Luo Emperor's desire for strength and experts reached its peak. If there were a Title Douluo now, these sects and forces would never be able to indiscriminately kill innocent people like they are now.

Meanwhile, inside the Papal Palace, the leaders of most major forces were gathered, except for the Haotian Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Body Sect.

"Your Holiness, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Body's method of spreading Qi and Blood cultivation are slapping us Soul Masters in the face, and slapping the Spirit Hall in the face!" Hu Yanzhen of the Elephant Armor Sect said righteously to Bibi Dong, who was sitting in the head seat.

"Yes! Your Holiness the Pope! The Heavenly Dou Empire and the Body Sect completely disregard you!"

"The Body Sect is threatening the Spirit Hall!"

……

The other sects nodded in agreement, chiming in with their own opinions.

Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Rex family, watched all this with a cold eye. Everyone in front of him was cultivating Qi and Blood Martial Arts, especially Hu Yanzhen, whom he sensed was probably already a two-ring Qi and Blood Martial Artist.

The Elephant Armor Sect has a huge advantage in cultivating Qi and Blood Martial Arts. Of course, their Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has an even greater advantage. As the strongest beast martial soul on the continent, the enhancement of their martial soul to the body is far greater than that of other beast martial souls.

"So what do you want?!" Bibi Dong said in a slightly cold voice.

"Your Majesty, our Elephant Armor Sect is willing to obey Your Majesty's orders and join forces to deal with the Body Sect and the Heavenly Dou Empire."

"The same applies to the Fire Leopard Sect!"

"Just like the Suzumebachi sect!"

"The Holy Dragon Sect is willing to obey your orders!"

……

The sects present all began to express their opinions, stating that they were willing to obey the orders of the Spirit Hall.

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family will not participate in this matter!" Yu Yuanzhen stood up to state his position, then ignored everyone and sat down heavily.

A flash of pure killing intent crossed Bibi Dong's eyes, but it vanished instantly. Smiling, she looked at the people from various sects and said, "Thank you all for your kindness. I, Bibi Dong, will accept this task. I will surely annihilate the Body Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire, severing the path of Qi and Blood Martial Arts cultivation!"

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Huyan Zhen took the lead and began to bow in gratitude.

……

"Golden Crocodile, it seems the Spirit Hall is about to split up. Go and inform the elders who are willing to join our Hall of Worship to take action! Also, inform Bibi Dong; consider it giving her a chance to leave Spirit City with those who are willing to follow her!"

Looking at the people from various sects and the elders of the Spirit Hall coming and going outside the Papal Palace, Qian Daoliu sighed and said to the burly man behind him.

"Brother, why go through all this trouble! I'll go up and grab that woman right now. I refuse to believe she can be a match for me!" Jin E's face was icy cold, and his violent soul power swirled around his body as he prepared to attack directly.

"Golden Crocodile, it's useless! Even if Bibi Dong is gone, there's still Bibi west and Bibi Nan."

This is a dispute between cultivation systems, and war is inevitable. The spread of Qi and Blood Martial Arts must undergo a baptism. Only by undergoing a baptism can it gain a foothold on the continent!

Moreover, Bibi Dong is not simple. I can always sense a dangerous aura about her. You may not be her match.

"It's better to let her leave. Once Xue'er becomes a god, everything will be fine. Besides, I've heard that Li Fei has also obtained the Sea God's inheritance. When the two gods are alive, no one on this continent will be our match!"

"I see! Then I'll inform them after Bibi Dong's meeting ends!"

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's explanation, Jin E also showed a look of sudden realization.

Qian Daoliu looked at the Papal Palace in the distance, his eyes filled with disappointment. The Spirit Hall had stood for ten thousand years, but he never expected it to decline in his hands. After today's meeting, the Spirit Hall would split into two factions. Because of the system, he could already imagine how much decline the Spirit City would suffer and how many people would leave with Bibi Dong.

The meeting ended quickly. Bibi Dong had already seen through the various nobles, forces, and sects at the meeting, understanding who was willing to follow her, who was merely currying favor, and who was on her kill list.

After all the elders and sect forces left, Bibi Dong began to ponder. At this moment, the figure of the Golden Crocodile appeared in the Papal Palace.

"Golden Crocodile! What brings you here?!" Bibi Dong frowned slightly and said irritably.

"Bibi Dong, the Grand Elder sent me to inform you that he does not want the Spirit Hall to suffer heavy losses due to internal disputes over the cultivation system."

"You know where Xue'er is?! You know what system she represents. We, the elders, have watched her grow up since she was a child, so naturally we support her unconditionally. Therefore, if you want to win over all the Soul Masters in the world, the Hall of Elders won't interfere, but please take your supporters and leave Spirit City. Afterwards, Spirit City will revert to Angel City, and the Spirit Hall will become the Angel Hall. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

After speaking, Jin'e calmly looked at Bibi Dong, awaiting her reply.

"Is this compensation for what happened back then?!" Bibi Dong sneered and asked in return.

"You can think of it that way too!" Jin E nodded, his voice utterly calm. "What happened back then was indeed wrong of my Spirit Hall, but the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, also died because of you. You've achieved your revenge!"

"Revenge?! Don't be ridiculous! I will never forget the humiliation I suffered back then, and I will repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold!" Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold, her eyes filled with madness: "Since the Grand Elder is willing to let me take my people, I thank him!"

"Golden crocodile offering, please take your leave and don't come back!"
