The Continent Is Shocked

Far away, thousands of miles distant.

Outside Heaven Dou City, the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, stood Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Fort.

As a super sect ranked among the Upper Three Sects alongside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessed an immensely deep foundation. The sect had two Titled Douluo, fifteen Soul Douluo, and at its peak commanded over five thousand Soul Masters.

Even Spirit Hall, the Soul Master organization that covered the entire continent, was deeply wary of it.

At this moment, within Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Fort.

A refined middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, with a face like polished jade and black hair cascading like a waterfall, gazed toward Notting City from afar.

He was Ning Fengzhi, the current sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a Level 79 Soul Sage known as the continent's number one support-type Soul Master.

Beside Ning Fengzhi stood two elderly men. One was likewise dressed in white, his silver hair meticulously combed, looking like an incomparably sharp sword; the other wore black-purple armor, with a withered face and an enormous frame.

"The sky has turned golden..."

"That feels like Soul Power... Someone is releasing Soul Power! This old man cannot imagine just how strong this person's Soul Power is! Even Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, would likely find it difficult to match..."

"Qian Daoliu is a Level 99 Peerless Douluo!"

Ning Fengzhi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze filled with worry. "Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle, we need to make preparations as well..."

Three hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City.

Lofty Mountains.

Atop a precipitous peak, a two-meter-tall, broad-shouldered middle-aged man stood with five white-haired elders, all gazing at the distant horizon.

"It should not be man-made. No human could possess such powerful Soul Power! Not even the Old Sect Master did!"

"Perhaps some strange treasure or divine artifact has emerged. A thousand years ago, when the City of Slaughter, the inheritance ground of the Asura God, appeared, didn't it also shock the continent?"

"It's a pity the Old Sect Master insisted on seeking the Asura God's inheritance and vanished for decades. Otherwise, why would our Clear Sky Sect fear Spirit Hall and have to live in seclusion?!"

"Hmph, Tang Hao is the real culprit. If not for him—"

"Shut up! No matter how useless Tang Hao may be, he is still my younger brother, the Clear Sky Douluo!"

At the same time.

In the southeast of the Heaven Dou Empire.

True Dragon Mountain, where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's sect was located.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan had established its sect ten thousand years ago. Whether in the vastness of its territory or the number of direct-line clansmen, it ranked first among the Upper Three Sects.

Although it now had fewer top experts, its overall strength remained exceptionally formidable.

At this moment, atop the sect's main peak, an imposing old man silently glanced at the sky, which had completely turned crimson gold, before turning and leaving.

As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family feared no challenge, no matter who was putting on a show!

Spirit City.

As the headquarters of Spirit Hall, Spirit City lay at the border between the two great empires. Pope's Palace, one of the two most revered halls in the Soul Master world, stood here.

Built against the mountain and rising above its summit, Pope's Palace was hailed as the most majestic and magnificent structure on the entire Douluo Continent, as well as a holy land in the hearts of most Soul Masters.

At this moment, several upright figures stood upon Pope's Palace's high platform, gazing at the brilliant golden sky in the distance.

At their head was a woman.

Her skin was fair, her features flawless, and her figure tall. She wore a luxurious purple robe embroidered with golden patterns, a purple crown encrusted with precious diamonds, and held a scepter set with a purple gemstone. She appeared incomparably noble, making others unable to resist bowing in worship.

She was Bi Bi Dong, the current supreme ruler of Spirit Hall—the Pope!

Standing beside her were several high-ranking figures of Spirit Hall.

"What powerful Soul Power. Yet this Soul Power does not seem to belong to any individual. Instead, it feels like ownerless, natural Soul Power..."

Bi Bi Dong murmured, black-purple light radiating from her beautiful eyes.

"Your Holiness, this golden phenomenon seems to originate from Fasinuo Province in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire," an elderly man wearing black armor beneath a gray robe, with a goatee, said respectfully.

"The Heaven Dou Empire..."

Upon hearing this, Bi Bi Dong lowered her head slightly.

The mention of the Heaven Dou Empire reminded her of her daughter, Qian Renxue, who had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Imperial Family as an undercover agent.

With a bitter smile, Bi Bi Dong raised her head again. Her beautiful eyes were now filled with resolve. She struck her scepter against the ground, and her gentle voice carried boundless authority.

"Pass on my order. Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan is to accompany the Holy Maiden Hu Liena to Fasinuo Province in the Heaven Dou Empire and investigate this matter!"

The Star Luo Empire.

Its imperial capital, Star Luo City.

Located in the central-northern region of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City faced Heaven Dou City of the Heaven Dou Empire from afar. They were the two most dazzling pearls upon the Douluo Continent.

At this moment, atop a tower within the Star Luo Imperial Palace, a tall man gazed toward the golden horizon.

The man looked only to be in his thirties. His features were upright, and his eye sockets were deep-set.

His face was somewhat gaunt, yet his entire body possessed a metallic quality. Especially his azure gaze, which flickered like a massive blade, inspiring fear.

He was Dai Tianfeng, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

"Pass down my decree. Order the Royal Secret Guard to immediately rush to the Heaven Dou Empire and uncover the truth of this matter!"

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the City of Slaughter, Sea God Island, the Lower Four Sects among the Seven Great Sects, and even the hidden families scattered across the land all focused their gazes upon the heavens.

Countless undercurrents, long concealed beneath the surface, began to stir at this moment...
