Butterfly Effect

On the way here, there had not been a single trace of a soul beast nearby. What soul beast would dare provoke a Limit Douluo? That would be courting death.

"Is this the place?"

Qian Daoliu looked at the valley before him, shrouded in green mist and emanating a bone-chilling, sinister aura. He turned to ask Luo Chen whether this was the place.

Was it really this place?

At the same time, Qian Daoliu felt puzzled. He could not sense anything special within this valley. Would those mysterious Immortal Herbs really grow here?

"This is the place. There are many incomparably precious Immortal Herbs inside."

Luo Chen looked at the valley before him and spoke with wild delight. The Ice and Fire Duality Eye was within. He then looked at the poisonous mist around them and was certain that Dugu Bo had already been here.

But it did not matter. He believed the terms he offered would definitely tempt Dugu Bo into handing over the Ice and Fire Duality Eye.

"Stand back!"

Qian Daoliu said sternly, clenching his right fist. Angel Soul Power gathered around it, radiating energy fluctuations that made one's heart tremble.

Just as he was about to blast the formation ahead, Qian Daoliu suddenly seemed to notice something. His gaze flickered, and with a turn of his wrist, his attack instantly shot toward the rear.

"Boom! Boom!"

Powerful Soul Power condensed into a golden pillar of light and streaked in a straight line for dozens of miles. All the surrounding trees, flowers, and grass were annihilated, while the weaker soul beasts were killed by the attack.

When the commotion subsided, the scene was a complete mess. Terrifying Soul Power still raged throughout the area.

"What rats are spying in secret? Get out here at once!"

Qian Daoliu glared fiercely in a certain direction and shouted, remaining vigilant of every movement around him.

If his Soul Power had not spread through the surroundings when he launched his attack, he might not have discovered that two unfamiliar auras were hidden here.

At the same time, his heart grew slightly grave. He sensed that one of them was no weaker than himself. But why was this aura so unfamiliar?

Since when had another Limit Douluo appeared on Douluo Continent?

"Hehe, Angel Douluo, I have long admired your name. You truly live up to your reputation."

A ripple passed through space, and two figures emerged from the void. One was a hunched old man dressed in black robes, black mist winding around his body as terrifying Darkness Power affected the entire area.

The other was a little boy around Luo Chen's age, except he had a pair of grayish-white eyes. He was deathly still, appearing exceptionally strange.

Ding. Child of Luck detected on Douluo Continent.

At that moment, the system suddenly spoke. Luo Chen's eyes widened as his gaze settled on the little boy. Sensing the decayed aura around him, he was at a loss.

Logically speaking, someone his age should have been full of vitality. Why was his temperament the complete opposite? There was only one possibility—his Martial Soul was probably far from simple.

A moment later, Luo Chen's lips curled upward. He had not expected to encounter a Child of Luck so soon.

"System, what exactly is his identity?"

Luo Chen continued asking. He wanted to know who this Child of Luck was. Judging by the old man's strength, the force behind this Child of Luck was no simple matter.

This Child of Luck is the young Gate Master of Ghost Gate: Situ Beihai. As for other information, Host, please investigate it yourself.

The system's stern voice sounded.

Luo Chen ignored the system's words. His probing gaze remained fixed on the Child of Luck as he secretly pondered, How should I fleece this Child of Luck?

The Luck Points he could fleece from a Child of Luck would definitely be extraordinary. Perhaps he could make a fortune from this.

"Who are you?"

Qian Daoliu asked in a deep voice.

"Angel Douluo, there is no need for you to concern yourself with who I am. The important thing is that we discovered this place first. I hope Angel Douluo will leave at once, lest you cause unnecessary trouble."

The Black-Robed Elder spoke calmly, as though he did not regard Qian Daoliu as a threat at all.

"Oh? And what if I refuse to leave?"

Qian Daoliu snorted disdainfully. Ever since his strength had reached the level of a Limit Douluo, no one had ever dared speak so brazenly to him.

"Then we can only settle this with our strength. I hope Angel Douluo's power will not disappoint me."

At that moment, the Black-Robed Elder cast up a barrier, protecting the little boy behind him.

"Boom! Boom!"

Then, the Black-Robed Elder spread his hands and floated into the air. All the Soul Power of a Limit Douluo surged forth.

A humanoid Martial Soul gradually emerged behind him, its body shrouded in black energy. It wore a Bronze Mask, and its sharp fangs looked horrifying.

From that moment onward, all of Sunset Forest was completely engulfed in endless darkness. Ghostly wails and howls echoed around them, chilling to the bone.

"Boom!"

Then came a scene that left everyone aghast. Seven black and two red, nine astonishing soul rings, rose one after another beneath the elder's feet, their terrifying aura pressing down upon the void.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red.

Luo Chen's expression changed drastically. Another humanoid Martial Soul had appeared, and its attributes were completely opposite to those of the Angel Martial Soul. Not to mention that unbelievable soul ring configuration, something absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Why had such a powerful Martial Soul and soul ring configuration never appeared in the original story? Could this be the Butterfly Effect caused by his arrival on Douluo Continent?

"This aura... what an evil power."

When Qian Daoliu saw this Martial Soul, his expression turned grave. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul appeared, accompanied by eight black and one red, nine soul rings. All the Soul Power of a Limit Douluo poured forth.

The two Martial Souls confronted each other, dividing the area into two distinct worlds—one of light and one of darkness. It was an exceedingly mystical sight.

"No!"

"This Martial Soul feels so familiar..."

"Could this be the Ghost God Martial Soul that vanished ten thousand years ago?"

Qian Daoliu suddenly exclaimed in shock. He had finally recalled the name of the Black-Robed Elder's Martial Soul.

The Ghost God Martial Soul, like the Angel Martial Soul, belonged to the category of Divine Martial Souls.

The difference was that the Angel Martial Soul possessed the Power of Light, while the Ghost God Martial Soul possessed Darkness Power. The two were natural opposites.

According to legend, the Ghost God Martial Soul was the inherited Martial Soul of Ghost Gate, a force from ten thousand years ago. Why had it reappeared on Douluo Continent after ten thousand years?

Could it be that the Ghost Gate of ten thousand years ago had not vanished into the river of time?

"As expected of Spirit Hall's Arbitration Elder. Your insight truly impresses me. Since you already know my Martial Soul, you should understand that the Angel Martial Soul's advantages are of no use against me."

The elder looked slightly surprised. He had not expected Qian Daoliu to recognize his Martial Soul. After all, Ghost Gate had not appeared in Douluo Continent for nearly ten thousand years.

If they had not sensed the changes in heaven and earth on Douluo Continent this time, Ghost Gate would not have revealed itself so easily.

"Hmph! I never expected Ghost Gate to have survived ten thousand years without perishing. Even if you possess the Ghost God Martial Soul, it is still too early to say who will win and who will lose."
