Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Those guys from Haotian Sect are incredibly stupid. They actually chose to close the mountain and go into seclusion. This has pushed everyone into a fire pit. Now look what's happened, we're all doomed. If that's the case, the outer sect might as well go back and fight them to the death."

Yang Wudi, the strongest fighter among the four clans, was furious. He was the most straightforward and unyielding, and in this situation, he just wanted to kill everyone with his spear.

Bai He quickly spoke up to stop Yang Wudi, "Old Goat, don't be impulsive. These people from the Spirit Hall don't seem to intend to kill. Perhaps they have other motives. But if we fight like this now, all of these more than a thousand people will perish here."

Titan chimed in, "That's right. We're outnumbered and can't fight head-on. Since the Spirit Hall is driving us to the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral land, let's go and join up with those Clear Sky Sect members and see what they're up to."

……

Outside Haotian Castle, the teams from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect joined together. Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Yu Luomian, and other high-ranking members of the two sects were discussing the situation in a tent.

Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou royal family sensed something was wrong when he discovered that the Spirit Hall was recruiting the remnants of the Clear Sky Sect. He has now led his men back to Heaven Dou City to report to Emperor Xue Ye at the palace, demanding that they find a way to thwart this matter no matter what.

"The Soul Masters under the Haotian Sect are all elites. If they are recruited by the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall's strength will expand even further, and our lives will become even more difficult."

Ning Fengzhi sat upright in the main seat, his brows furrowed deeply. The Haotian Sect's decision to close its doors and go into seclusion left behind a legacy that was truly enviable.

The Spirit Hall couldn't wait to grab the cake, and the royal family was also anxious to go back and call for reinforcements. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was also envious, but unfortunately, compared with these two forces, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still too weak.

"Heh... They're just a bunch of ordinary Soul Masters. What do they need so many vassals for?"

Yu Luomian, standing beside Yu Yuanzhen, scoffed, unconcerned. This was typical of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan; they looked down on ordinary Soul Masters. Of the vassals of the Clear Sky Clan, very few were even worth their attention.

At this moment, a Soul Master entered the tent and reported to Ning Fengzhi: "Sect Master, the latest news is that the four major single-attribute clans of the original outer sect of the Clear Sky Sect seem to have broken through the encirclement of the Spirit Hall and are now heading towards the ancestral land of the Clear Sky Sect."

The Spirit Hall has dispatched a large force to pursue them. The Angel Army, the Holy Dragon Army, and the Guardian Knights have all been mobilized. At their current speed, they should arrive at the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral land around dusk.

"The four major single-attribute families and the Spirit Hall have a problem."

Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed. He sensed that things weren't so simple. Yan's confident face flashed through his mind, and he seemed to have noticed something.

"Among the outer sect of Haotian Sect, only these four clans have anything of value, especially the Po clan. Their Soul-Breaking Spear is probably second only to the weapon spirit of Haotian Sect."

Yu Yuanzhen smiled knowingly, "Their strength is no weaker than the four lower sects. If the Spirit Hall wants to take down these stubborn guys, things are going to get interesting."

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, Sect Master Yu, I have a feeling that this matter is not so simple. Let's go and take a look together."

After a moment's thought, Ning Fengzhi got up to make arrangements. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo quickly stood up, and Yu Yuanzhen also slowly got up after hearing his invitation. With their movements, the two hundred elites from the two major sects headed towards the ancestral land of the Haotian Sect.

……

Three hundred miles east of Tiandou City, in a secluded mountain village nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, nearly a thousand people who had traveled a long way were cultivating in their temporary dwelling. These people were direct and collateral relatives of the Haotian Sect who had been forcibly evacuated to this ancestral land of the Haotian Sect.

"metropolitan."

Two figures landed suddenly, and the people who were working immediately looked on alert. After seeing their appearance, they were relieved. The last to arrive were the Haotian Sect Master who had covered the rear and his son Tang Xiao.

After glancing around casually, the Haotian Sect Master felt slightly relieved, as it seemed that no one had been lost. However, he was still a little worried, so he asked the Second Elder, who had rather long eyebrows, "Second Elder, how is the situation? Have we encountered any unusual events along the way?"

The Second Elder, with his rather long eyebrows, quickly reported the situation: "Sect Master, rest assured, our journey here has been relatively smooth. All the scattered groups have been reconnected and are currently safe. It seems that the Spirit Hall has indeed kept its promise."

"That's good. It seems the Spirit Hall still cares about its reputation. But we must not be careless, and we must not let our guard down."

The Sect Master of Haotian nodded slightly, gave a few more instructions, and then began to arrange the work. Since they were rushed here directly and were not well prepared, their accommodation for the night might be a problem.

As the sun began to set and dusk approached, the Haotian Sect members finally managed to build some reasonably decent houses. Just as they were about to prepare dinner, the expressions of all the Haotian Sect's high-ranking members suddenly changed, and they all looked towards the foot of the mountain.

The Seventh Elder couldn't help but shout angrily, "So many Soul Master auras, and they seem somewhat familiar. The four major single-attribute clans, and it seems the Spirit Hall is also among them. Have these bastards finally made their move?"

"Something seems off. If the Spirit Hall is planning to attack us, why go to such lengths? Let's go check it out."

The Haotian Sect Master, with a gloomy expression, led a large number of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos to Tang Xiao's campsite. From this vantage point, they could overlook the foot of the mountain and clearly see a dark, dense line of shadows coming from the west.

Chapter 72 The Encirclement and Capture of Four Clans

At the foot of the mountains, nestled in the ancestral land of the Haotian Sect, in the desolate wilderness at dusk, the four single-attribute families, who had been traveling for most of the day, finally stopped.

A few hundred meters ahead was the mountain where the ancestral land of the Haotian Sect was located, but they could not get there at all, because at the foot of the mountain, thousands of elite soul masters from the Spirit Hall had completely blocked their way, like an impregnable wall.

"Old goat, old gorilla, old ox, I'm afraid we're really in trouble this time."

Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, descended from the sky. He had just tried to break through and find a way out, but he was blocked by five Soul Saints of the Angel Army. Even with his extreme speed, he could not force his way out when faced with the combined blockade of five flying Soul Masters of the same level.

On the mountainside of the ancestral land of the Haotian Sect, many powerful members of the Haotian Sect gazed solemnly at the scene below. At this moment, on the plain at the foot of the mountain, nearly two thousand members of the four major clans with single attributes were surrounded by more than three thousand elites of the Spirit Hall, making it extremely difficult for them to break through.

"What exactly are those guys from the Spirit Hall up to?"

The powerful figures of the Haotian Sect had solemn expressions. They sensed a conspiracy. Seeing their former comrades trapped below, they wanted to help, but they were afraid that the Spirit Hall would seize the opportunity to attack them. They were caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Yan led the elites of the Spirit Hall to set up a net and surrounded all these people. Then he said loudly, "Everyone, the Spirit Hall treated you with courtesy and only wanted you to complete the registration of Spirit Masters. However, you forcibly broke through the barrier and escaped. Are you preparing to become evil Spirit Masters who wreak havoc on the world?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A hearty laugh rang out from among the four major clans with single attributes. A tall, robust, white-haired old man's loud voice rang out, "You little brat from the Spirit Hall, why bother with your pretense? If you hadn't deliberately let us out, we wouldn't have been able to escape the castle at all."

Now you've brought your men and forced us here, what kind of scheme are you plotting now? The Haotian Sect has truly lost their minds to believe your lies.

The one who spoke was Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan. He looked rough but was actually quite cunning. He had realized early on that something was wrong, but lacking the strength, he could only parry and counter.

Now that he was at the ancestral land of the Haotian Sect, he had no other choice but to raise his voice to remind the members of the Haotian Sect. He still harbored some resentment towards the Haotian Sect for expelling Tang Hao. Titan had once been guided by Tang Hao and recognized him as his master; his true loyalty lay with Tang Hao.

"Chief Titan is overthinking things. The reason I let you leave the castle is simply because I felt that fighting inside the castle would cause too much of a commotion and have a bad impact."

Yan looked at Titan from afar. This seemingly rough but actually meticulous old man was the most difficult to subdue among the four major clans. He was too devoted to Tang Hao. However, Yan's main target was not him, so he did not need to spend too much effort on the Power Clan.

As Yan spoke, he looked up again, meeting the gazes of Tang Xiao and the others across thousands of meters, and then smiled faintly: "There is another reason. I really want to see if the Haotian Sect will keep its promises and agreements."

His voice, amplified by his soul power, resounded throughout the entire area. Then, with a change of tone, he issued an order: "Pass on my command! The Angel Army, the Holy Dragon Army, and the Templar Knights, go all out and make sure to capture everyone."

As Yan gave the order, more than three thousand elite Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall released their Martial Souls at the same time, and countless Soul Rings rose up, flashing white, yellow, purple and black lights in the void.

"You scum from the Spirit Hall, do you think I'm afraid of you? Old Goat, Old Crane, Old Ox, this battle looks dangerous."

Titan raised his voice, his body radiating an aura approaching that of a Soul Douluo, "The Clear Sky Sect doesn't even dare to fight, which is truly frustrating. However, it's enough that we brothers can fight to the death together. All members of the Power Clan, release your Martial Souls."

With a roar from Titan, a group of men with unusually long arms, tall statures, and strong physiques trembled as they roared, their fists clenched, and the muscles on their arms suddenly bulged.

As the light of their martial spirits was released, their figures grew taller again, their dark muscles gleaming with black light, revealing their steel-like bodies. Short, fine black hairs, like steel needles, appeared all over their bodies, and their appearance became more like that of gorillas.

"Roar~~~"

At the forefront of this group of muscular men, Titan's seventh spirit ring shimmered with black light. As the light of his spirit skill entered his body, Titan's figure suddenly expanded, and finally, a jet-black mighty gorilla appeared before everyone.

"Old gorilla, you're right. Today has been so frustrating. I have to fight. Yu Clan, release your martial spirit."

With a decisive shout from Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan, a group of burly men from the Dwarf Li clan stepped forward and released their martial spirits. The skin of each of them turned bluish-gray, as solid as bluish-gray rock, and a single horn grew from their foreheads.

Niu Gao also released his Martial Soul True Form like a Titan. A huge plate-armored rhinoceros appeared in the sight of countless people. The extreme pressure brought by its huge body made it hard to imagine the scene of him breaking into the army formation.

If an ordinary Soul Saint can fight against an army of tens of thousands using various means, then this armored giant rhinoceros, which resembles a war behemoth, can completely crush an elite army of ten thousand.

“Old Crane, your Min clan is not good at fighting. Stay here to protect everyone’s families. This task of clearing the way should be left to my Po clan. Soul-Breaking Spear, here you go.”

With a flick of his right hand, Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Broken Clan, unleashed an astonishing aura of malevolence that swept across the area. His martial spirit had appeared—a twelve-foot-long spear. The spear was entirely black, gleaming with a chilling luster. Its shaft was eight feet long, and its wide tip was a staggering four feet long. The shaft itself was as thick as a normal person's arm.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings—seven in perfect proportion—appeared simultaneously on the spear, shimmering around the twelve-foot-long spear and instantly radiating an incomparably dazzling brilliance.

When Yang Wudi grasped his thick, dark iron spear, he became a completely different person. All his previous emotional changes seemed to have vanished at that moment, and all his energy and spirit were concentrated on the iron spear in his hand.

Yang Wudi's soul power cultivation was not outstanding among the four clan leaders, but he was the strongest in combat among them, all thanks to the spear in his hand. When he held his Soul-Breaking Spear, no matter who his opponent was, it would not affect his mindset.

Unbreakable and invincible, this is the goal pursued by the Breaking Clan, and Yang Wudi, as the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, possesses top-tier offensive capabilities on the continent. Today, he will use the spear in his hand to pave a path forward for the four major clans.

Chapter 73 Clash of Martial Soul True Forms

"The four major clans—Power, Defense, and Destruction—each have their own unique characteristics."

To the west of the ancestral land of the Haotian Sect, Yan Yu, amidst the military formation, gazed at the three races' soul masters who had released their martial souls and were preparing to forge a path forward. A confident smile appeared on his lips. Then, he turned his head and instructed, "Elder Tuoba, I request that you personally lead the Holy Dragon Army to take down the Power and Defense races."

"Don't worry, Holy Son, I will let them know the power of the number one strength-type beast spirit in Douluo Continent."

Beside Yan, one of the five titled elders who had accompanied him, the Holy Dragon Elder of the Spirit Hall, Tuoba hope, personally led the charge, leading hundreds of elite Holy Dragon soldiers as the vanguard to confront the charging three races of soul masters head-on.

Each disciple of the Holy Dragon Sect is covered in a layer of white scales, and their bodies are strong and robust; this is their martial spirit, the White Armored Earth Dragon.

The White-Armored Earth Dragon cannot be considered a true dragon; it is merely a close relative of dragons and is significantly inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

However, they are dragons after all, and possess the supreme dragon might, giving them an absolute advantage over the two martial souls, the Mighty Ape and the Plate Armored Rhinoceros.

Tuoba Xi, a titled Douluo, personally took action and released his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body. A huge earth dragon with platinum light emanating from its body appeared on the battlefield, and its excellent soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and five black appeared under the gaze of countless people.

Far beyond the battlefield, hundreds of Soul Masters cautiously approached to observe the battle from afar; it was a joint force from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant School.

Beside Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, Yu Luomian looked at Tuoba Xi, who had released his Martial Soul True Form, with envy in his eyes. "Brother, I never thought that Tuoba Xi would actually break through to the Title Douluo level. We really shouldn't have let the White Armor Earth Dragon Clan go back then."

A hint of gloom flashed in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, but he still pretended to be calm. "His ability to break through shows that he has some skill, but with his White Armor Earth Dragon, he is not qualified to challenge the status of my Blue Lightning Overlord Sect."

At this moment, the battle had begun. One after another, the massive Martial Soul True Forms clashed on the battlefield. The Mighty Ape, the Plate Armored Giant Rhinoceros, and the White Armored Earth Dragon, three Soul Masters skilled in strength, clashed head-on. Like war machines, their battle was extremely loud and the scene was exceptionally terrifying.

Tuoba Xi, a nine-ring titled Douluo, is currently under siege. Facing the combined attack of the plate-armored giant rhinoceros and the mighty gorilla, the white-armored earth dragon is handling the situation with ease and can even suppress them easily. The plate-armored giant rhinoceros is directly stomped under his foot, while the mighty gorilla is surprisingly strong, which has brought him some pressure, but it is not too much trouble.

The real threat, however, was the Soul-Breaking Spear, the only weapon spirit among the four major clans. Although Yang Wudi's cultivation level was not very high, it posed a great threat to him, almost piercing his nose and eyes several times, making it impossible for him to expand his advantage.

"Old gorilla, old ox, create an opportunity for me."

On the battlefield, after dodging Tuoba hope's dragon claw, Yang Wudi did a somersault to avoid Niu Gao falling behind him, and then shouted angrily.

"Roar~~~"

Upon hearing this, Titan the Great Ape roared angrily. As he pounded his chest with both fists to gather energy, his fifth and sixth ten-thousand-year soul rings flashed simultaneously, increasing his power dramatically. He then swung a punch at Tuoba Xi's dragon head.

Tuoba hope had already anticipated his attack. At this moment, he simply tilted his head slightly, and as his sixth soul ring flashed, his other dragon claw instantly unleashed a yellow light claw, directly sending Titan flying.

Just as he was about to press his advantage, Niu Gao, whom he had stepped on, suddenly exerted force with all four limbs, grabbed one of his feet with both hands, and used his feet to lock the other foot, forcefully restraining and restricting his movements.

At this moment, Yang Wudi darted out from behind Niu Gao. What came first was not his Soul-Breaking Spear, but a clump of foul-smelling medicinal powder. Just smelling a little bit made Tuoba hope feel a little dizzy, and he quickly circulated his soul power to hold his breath and expel the poison.

At this moment, Yang Wudi, who was in mid-air, swung his spear forward. He seemed to become one with the spear. The powerful aura that suddenly rose and burst forth, and the terrifyingly sharp aura, rushed straight towards Tuoba Xi's chest.

Yang Wudi's aura reached its peak at this moment. Tuoba hope felt his body become sluggish, as if he had been pierced through by that terrifying spear in his mind.

"Ding~~~"

Tuoba hope was, after all, a Title Douluo. Even if he was ambushed, he wouldn't suffer a loss so easily. In an instant, his eighth spirit ring shone brightly, and then his dragon mouth opened wide.

"Roar~~~"

A dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and earth. The solid sound waves shot out from Tuoba Xi's dragon mouth towards Yang Wudi. Yang Wudi, who was like a flash of lightning, was also affected at this moment. His body slowed down under the impact of the sound waves. His clothes fluttered and soon became tattered, and bloodstains appeared on his exposed skin.

However, Yang Wudi did not try to evade at this moment. Instead, his spear suddenly accelerated and flew towards Tuoba hope's chest. The feeling of unstoppable momentum made everyone feel a chilling aura.

At that moment, Yang Wudi's seven spirit rings lit up one after another, unleashing a devastating burst of powerful spirit energy with each spear thrust. The formidable force of the spear, along with its terrifying power, caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear in the air.

As the seventh soul skill finally flashed, black flames began to spread, engulfing Yang Wudi from the Soul-Breaking Spear. The seventh soul ring, shimmering with black light, instantly enveloped the man and the spear.
