Poison Douluo Emerges from Seclusion

At the Strength Clan, while the clan leader and his grandson were talking.

Li Xuan had already destroyed Blue Tyrant Academy almost completely, successfully completing the first-stage mission.

After doing all that, Li Xuan let out a wild roar and charged toward the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace with a series of booming footsteps.

His next target was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

This was an extremely important treasure, one that played a pivotal role in this world.

In the future, it would become one of Tang San's most important life-saving tools. Without the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, even obtaining the Sea God Inheritance would be a problem.

If he got the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Tang San's path in the future would become much narrower, and his cultivation would inevitably be slowed.

"Heh, I really am looking forward to Tang San's future growth."

Li Xuan muttered to himself as he charged toward the imperial palace on his massive green feet, heading for the Heaven Dou Royal Treasury.

Before the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Countless soldiers patrolled the area, silently guarding this sacred and majestic palace that had stood for countless years.

This luxurious palace, a symbol of power, drew the attention of countless passersby.

Some commoners even bowed toward the imperial palace to express their respect.

Upon the walls of the Heaven Dou Royal Family.

Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng stood quietly, looking down at the respectful commoners below.

As those who held power in the Heaven Dou Empire, Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng had stood at the pinnacle of the nation from the moment they were born, enjoying countless privileges.

They would continue enjoying boundless power in the future, and even their descendants would inherit such power.

Surrounded by such power, the two naturally possessed an innate arrogance. Although Prince Xue Beng was deeply calculating and only pretended to be arrogant and overbearing, the pride ingrained in his bones never changed.

"Xue Beng, is Poison Douluo still in seclusion?" Prince Xue Xing suddenly asked.

"Yes. Ever since he returned in that state a few days ago, he suddenly chose to enter seclusion. He hasn't appeared once since then. It's very strange," Prince Xue Beng explained with a frown.

"Cough... Did he really wear women's clothes?" Prince Xue Xing could not help asking.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. And the outfit was extremely flamboyant. If I hadn't known him so well, I might not even have recognized him."

Prince Xue Beng wore an odd expression, feeling that Poison Douluo had some unusual preferences.

"Don't mention this matter again. He is a Title Douluo, and you will need to rely on him in the future. Even if he has special preferences, indulge him," Prince Xue Xing said gravely.

"I understand."

"Also, get close to Dugu Yan whenever possible. If you can marry her, you will gain Poison Douluo's support. The support of a Title Douluo is worth more than an army of thousands."

Prince Xue Xing patted Xue Beng's shoulder, speaking with meaningful intent.

"Alright, I understand how important this is."

After saying that, Prince Xue Beng turned to look at the resplendent Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Looking at the countless imposing and majestic halls, he said seriously,

"I will definitely ascend the throne. Only I can protect these grand and magnificent palaces and ensure that they endure forever."

After Prince Xue Beng spoke, ambition flashed through his eyes, and an aura of dominance over the world gradually emerged.

"Good, very good. With that bearing alone, this palace will surely belong to you in the future," Prince Xue Xing praised.

Hearing this, Prince Xue Beng looked at the palace halls, and his mood became exceptionally good.

Boom!!

A tremendous blast suddenly rang out, and the terrifying explosion made the entire city wall tremble.

Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng were both startled by the sudden roar. "What's going on?"

Boom! Boom! Boom! The terrifying explosions continued. The sturdy, towering ancient city wall collapsed with a thunderous crash amid the cries of countless people.

Before Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng could figure out what had happened, they were sent tumbling down, landing flat on their faces.

"Damn it! Who is causing trouble in the imperial palace? Do they not know where this is?!"

Prince Xue Beng roared furiously. Once he got to his feet and looked ahead, he froze on the spot.

"What is it?"

Prince Xue Xing also stood up, but when he saw the scene in the distance, his pupils contracted sharply.

Because not far away.

A Green Fatty was stomping forward on massive feet, crazily smashing into hall after hall. Like an ancient Mammoth War Elephant, it effortlessly destroyed vast numbers of palaces.

Wherever the giant monster passed, only broken walls and shattered earth and stone remained.

Seeing this, Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng were utterly enraged.

They had just declared that they would protect the palace forever, only for a giant monster to appear and destroy it. Wasn't that a slap right across their faces? Furious, they both roared at once.

"Kill it! Kill it immediately!"

"Yes!!"

Countless powerful palace guards darted forward, displaying terrifying spirit rings one after another. Filled with icy Killing Intent, they charged without hesitation at the Green Fatty.

These guards were all top-tier experts, each one a battle-hardened veteran. Facing the Green Fatty, they were filled with absolute confidence.

"Sixth Spirit Skill, Death Sword!"

"Seventh Spirit Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Eighth Spirit Skill, Blazing Burn!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Terrifying spirit skills surged toward the Green Fatty like a flood, instantly engulfing him.

With so many spirit skills attacking at once, the barrage actually formed a beautiful sight like fireworks.

But.

The guards watching knew perfectly well just how terrifying those fireworks were. Their hearts trembled just from watching them. If they were struck by such fireworks, they would certainly die.

Thus, the guards believed the Green Fatty was finished. They stared at the terrifying blaze, waiting for the flames to die down so they could inspect the enemy's remains.

Bang! Roiling flames surged as thick black smoke spread in every direction.

The next moment.

Before countless shocked eyes, the Green Fatty, still engulfed in flames, charged out with booming strides.

Then, the giant monster wrapped in flames roared and crashed into the guards.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying explosions erupted, accompanied by countless miserable screams.

Those miserable cries made everyone's faces turn pale. Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng, in particular, stared with their eyes wide in horror.

"Quick, go invite Poison Douluo! Hurry!!"

"Yes! I'll go personally."

Prince Xue Beng realized the severity of the situation and hurriedly led the guards toward Poison Douluo's residence.

A short while later, at Poison Douluo's residence.

The reception hall.

Poison Douluo, having emerged from seclusion, sat drinking tea with high spirits and an excellent mood.

His injuries had completely healed. He had even broken through another rank, and his strength had grown greater.

Such wonderful news delighted him beyond measure, and he was eager to show off his formidable strength.

Of course, deep in his heart, he would always remember those words: stay away from that Green Fatty, and never go near it.

Knock, knock, knock! Urgent knocking suddenly sounded outside, and Prince Xue Beng hurried inside.

"Mr. Dugu Bo, something terrible has happened. Someone has attacked the imperial palace."

"What did you say? Someone attacked the imperial palace? Do they think I, Dugu Bo, don't exist?"

Coldness filled Dugu Bo's eyes. As the Heaven Dou Empire's Title Douluo, Dugu Bo had become one of the Royal Family's greatest symbols.

Yet someone had attacked the imperial palace while he was in seclusion. This was clearly a slap in his face. How could Poison Douluo endure that?

The enraged Poison Douluo clenched his fists. "It's been many years since I last displayed my strength. Today, I will let the world understand the terror of Poison Douluo."
