Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Identity: Elder of the Elder Hall, Elder of Criminal Law; [Outwardly loyal to Bibi Dong, based on the power of the Pope and the interests of the Spirit Hall elders]

Martial Soul: The Extraordinary Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum. [A Celestial-grade herbal martial soul, in a sense, is far rarer and more powerful than super martial souls like the Clear Sky Hammer or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.]

Level: Level 95, Title Douluo of the Power Attack type.

Soul Rings: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black.

Age: 150 years old.

Lifespan: 800 years. [Advancement to level 90 Title Douluo grants an additional 300 years of lifespan, and increasing soul power by one level grants an additional 100 years of lifespan. Current remaining lifespan: 650 years.]

Known Soul Skills: Sixth Soul Skill - Golden Stamens Flowing with Clouds, Ninth Soul Skill - Chrysanthemums Wither, Wounds Cover the Ground, Fallen Flowers Break Hearts, Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Two Extremes Forbidden Domain.

Subordinate forces: The Penal Hall of the Spirit Hall, consisting of six black-robed bishops [eight-ring Soul Douluo], seventeen purple-robed bishops [seven-ring Soul Saint], and five hundred purple-robed deacons and five hundred white-robed deacons.

As the elder of criminal law, Juhua Guan wielded the power of life and death.

Life resume: If it weren't for the unexpected factor of Dong Qing, Ju Hua Guan would probably be doing things like intercepting Tang San and capturing the 100,000-year-old soul beast Xiao Wu. But now, he no longer needs to do these things. He only needs to work with Ghost Douluo to do the job of the Spirit Hall's punishment elder.

......

The positions of the Spirit Hall are as follows.

Ordinary Deacon. [Zero-ring Soul Master - One-ring Soul Master] [Representative Characters: Composed mostly of commoner Soul Masters, whose Soul Power is generally below level 20.]

White-robed Deacon. [One-ring Soul Master to Two-ring Great Soul Master] [Representative figure: Su Yuntao, before his promotion to Hall Master of the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall during the Holy Soul Village era.]

Yellow-robed Deacon. [Three-Ring Soul Master to Six-Ring Soul Emperor] [Representative Figure: Matthew, Notting City, former head of the city's Spirit Hall]

Purple-robed Bishop. [Seven-Ring Soul Saint] [Representative figure: Miles, in charge of all Martial Soul Branch Halls in Gengxin City (Metal Capital).]

Black-robed Bishop. [Eight-ring Soul Douluo] [Representative figure: Ba Wusi, of Hanhai City, in charge of all Martial Soul Branch Halls in that region.]

Platinum Bishop. [Eight-Ring Soul Douluo] [Representative Figure: Salas, Heaven Dou City. In charge of all Spirit Hall branches in that region, and also one of the four Platinum Bishops of the Spirit Hall.]

Titled Douluo with a Soul Power level exceeding 90 will automatically receive the title of Elder of the Spirit Hall without any conditions, but must choose between the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders.

The Elders' Hall is under Bibi Dong's control, while the Offering Hall is under Qian Daoliu's control.

......

Chapter 285, Did...you assassinate His Holiness the Pope?

"No matter what, Chrysanthemum Pass, Lingyuan, we have chosen to protect His Holiness the Pope and wait for him to wake up," Ghost Douluo said solemnly.

A pitch-black humanoid ghost floated behind Ghost Douluo, emanating a dark and chilling aura. It was also connected to the martial soul of Chrysanthemum Pass, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and could then activate the martial soul fusion skill—the Two Extremes Forbidden Domain.

Name: Ghost Douluo [Ghostly Charm].

Gender: Male.

Identity: Elder of the Elder Hall, Elder of Criminal Law; [Outwardly loyal to Bibi Dong, based on the power of the Pope and the interests of the Spirit Hall elders]

Martial Soul: Ghostly Phantom. [An ultra-rare Martial Soul, similar to the original Martial Soul, but also possessing the ability to be immune to physical attacks, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to have any effect on it.]

Level: Level 95, agility-based titled Douluo.

Soul Rings: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black.

Age: 170 years old.

Lifespan: 800 years. [Advancement to level 90 Title Douluo grants an additional 300 years of lifespan; each level increase in Soul Power grants an additional 100 years of lifespan. Current remaining lifespan: 630 years.]

Subordinate forces: The Penal Hall of the Spirit Hall, consisting of eight black-robed bishops [eight-ring Soul Douluo], twenty purple-robed bishops [seven-ring Soul Saint], and five hundred purple-robed deacons and five hundred white-robed deacons.

Ghost Douluo, as the Elder of Criminal Law, holds the power of judgment.

Life resume: Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Guan have a deep and very good relationship, to the point that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other. It is precisely because of their good relationship that the Dual Forbidden Domain, a martial soul fusion skill that seals space and time, was born.

.......

About five or six minutes later, several more Title Douluos suddenly descended upon the place. They were all Title Douluos loyal to Bibi Dong.

"Your Holiness, I am late." This was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. He was kneeling on one knee and speaking with extreme respect.

Name: Serpent Spear Douluo.

Gender: Male.

Identity: Elder of the Spirit Hall, [ostensibly loyal to Bibi Dong based on the Pope's power and the interests of the Spirit Hall elders]

Martial Soul: Serpent Spear.

Level: Level 92, Title Douluo of the Power Attack type.

Soul Rings: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black.

Age: 305 years old.

Lifespan: 500 years. [Advancement to level 90 Title Douluo grants a 300-year lifespan bonus, and increasing soul power by one level grants a 100-year lifespan bonus. Current remaining lifespan: 195 years.]

Known Soul Skills: Eighth Soul Skill - Thunderous Might, Ninth Soul Skill - Raging Lightning.

Subordinate forces: None at present.

Life resume: In a future timeline that no longer exists, in order to cooperate with the Soul Hunting Operation, he accepted orders from Bibi Dong and forcibly launched the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, causing Qian Renxue's more than ten years of infiltration to fail. When the eight-ring Soul Douluo Yang Wudi was fighting him to the death, he was briefly suppressed by this eight-ring Soul Douluo.

"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, why did His Holiness the Pope faint? What happened? I rushed over immediately after receiving your message."

The speaker was a burly man with a ferocious and menacing face that looked extremely frightening. If a child saw him, he would surely have nightmares.

Name: Porcupine Douluo.

Gender: Male.

Identity: Elder of the Spirit Hall, [ostensibly loyal to Bibi Dong based on the Pope's power and the interests of the Spirit Hall elders]

Age: 285 years old.

Martial Soul: Porcupinefish.

Level: Level 92, Title Douluo of the Power Attack type.

Soul Rings: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black.

Lifespan: 500 years. [Advancement to level 90 Title Douluo grants a 300-year lifespan bonus, and increasing soul power by one level grants a 100-year lifespan bonus. Current remaining lifespan: 215 years.]

Known Soul Skills: Eighth Soul Skill - Stomach Contains All Things, Ninth Soul Skill - Overlord Assassin Nova.

Subordinate forces: None at present.

Life resume: The number one poison master in the world, the absolute nemesis of Dugu Bo. The pufferfish martial soul has the ability to absorb all the poisons in the world. Dugu Bo hates this man very much and has cursed this pufferfish master to die of old age more than once.

.....

Hearing what the Porcupine Douluo said, Chrysanthemum Guan made a delicate gesture with his fingers and said, "Porcupine, don't worry. Her Majesty the Pope is a being who stands at the pinnacle of the continent. Don't forget, unless it's a divine punishment like the one last time, no one can break her ninth soul skill, Immortality."

[Ninth Soul Skill: Immortality]

The immortality is a soul skill that Bibi Dong obtained by killing the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit. It is her most powerful 100,000-year soul ring skill and the source of her true strength.

The immortality comes with two effects: first, the body can reassemble even if it is shattered; second, the body can be converted into energy.

Both of these skills share a common characteristic: unless the opponent is a god-level being, they can never truly kill Bibi Dong in this state.

......

"Hmph, the Papal Palace and the entire Spirit City are under martial law. No one is allowed to leave today. As long as His Holiness the Pope remains unconscious, none of you will escape responsibility."

A burly man stared menacingly at the black-robed and purple-robed bishops in the Papal Palace, clearly suspecting them of plotting to harm Bibi Dong.

Name: Demon Bear Douluo.

Gender: Male.

Identity: Elder of the Spirit Hall, [ostensibly loyal to Bibi Dong based on the Pope's power and the interests of the Spirit Hall elders]

Age: 365 years old.

Martial Soul: Blood Demon Bear.

Level: Level 93, Title Douluo of the Power Attack type.

Soul Rings: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black.

Lifespan: 600 years. [Advancement to level 90 Title Douluo grants a 300-year lifespan bonus, and increasing soul power by one level grants a 100-year lifespan bonus. Current remaining lifespan: 235 years.]

Known Soul Skills: Eighth Soul Skill - Bloodlust Berserk, Ninth Soul Skill - Dominate the World.

Subordinate forces: None at present.

Life resume: He is one of the oldest Title Douluo. Unlike Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Pass, and even Spirit Kite Douluo, the three of them are actually very young, only a little over a hundred years old. They still have a long lifespan left and enough potential to support further breakthroughs. They have ample time to break through their soul power levels.

Similar to Demon Bear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, and Serpent Spear Douluo, these are titled Douluo who are very old, generally two or three hundred years old.

Although they still have one or two hundred years left to live, their potential has been exhausted, and it will be difficult for them to break through even one level of soul power in the future. Their ultimate fate is nothing more than dying of old age.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Bibi Dong, who was only in her forties or fifties, was already a peerless Douluo at the peak level of 99. This shows how great the gap is between people.

......

Of course, besides Demon Bear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo [Chrysanthemum Pass], and other titled Douluo loyal to His Holiness the Pope, Bibibi.

Seven other Title Douluos who were attached to her also received the news and rushed over, but they were stopped outside the Papal Palace by six Title Douluos led by Ling Yuan Douluo, who did not allow them to approach Bibi Dong.

"Let me see His Holiness the Pope!" a female titled Douluo shouted.

As she spoke, her martial spirit appeared behind her. A white giant tiger, about ten meters tall, looked majestic and imposing. It moved around behind her and roared. The "king" character on the tiger's forehead looked extremely domineering.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, Ghostly Demon, and Spirit Kite, what exactly do you want by blocking our way?" a male Title Douluo said angrily.

He didn't summon his martial spirit, but something was off about his eyes.

It seems he wanted to confirm Bibi Dong's current situation. If she really had a serious problem, he would definitely switch to the Qian Daoliu faction of the neighboring Hall as soon as possible.

"The fact that you won't let us get close makes one wonder if... you've assassinated His Holiness the Pope."

The speaker was an elderly man with an extremely aged face, looking as if he were on the verge of death, making one wonder if he was truly nearing his end.

Besides the three of them, there were four other titled Douluo, but none of them spoke.

Chapter 286, You are so young now, only a little over a hundred years old.
