Douluo: I Cultivate Immortality, and You're Still Calling Me a Title Douluo? Chapter 7

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I, Wang Defa, am the first to refuse to believe it! After all, I examined that fool inside and out. He was undoubtedly an ordinary person. Could an ordinary person possess forty thousand jin of Great Strength? Could he summon heavenly lightning with such terrifying power? Of course not!"

This time,

Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long had watched the entire ordeal,

and thus witnessed Lu Yunzhu's attack firsthand.

Could it be that, despite his young age... not only is his Soul Power Level higher than mine, but it even... far surpasses mine? Otherwise, how could I, a Level 92 Title Douluo, possibly fail to see through him?

After unconsciously swallowing,

Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long's breathing also quickened involuntarily.

The Powers Stir

Meanwhile,

within the imperial palace of Heaven Dou City.

Today,

was the coming-of-age day of Xue Beng, the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

In order to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for this rather troublesome son of his,

Xue Ye had invited many powers from across the continent.

Among them,

were naturally top-tier factions such as Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Music and dancing filled the imperial palace,

and everyone chatted and laughed merrily.

It was then that a sudden clap of thunder reached everyone's ears.

At the same time,

a powerful aura as vast as the sea swept forth, detected by the spiritual power of many experts present.

"What is going on? What happened?"

Even Xue Ye, a Soul King,

sensed that something was amiss at this moment.

With a furrowed brow and a sharp gaze, he spoke.

Upon hearing this,

Rockson, commander of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights and the man responsible for this banquet's security and proceedings, immediately replied,

"Your Majesty, I shall send someone to investigate at once."

After saying that,

Rockson selected two elite knights

and headed with them toward the source of the aura to investigate.

As for Xue Ye's safety, it was entrusted to the three Soul Douluo experts: Bai Baoshan, Meng Shenji, and Zhilin.

"Such immense power... was that heavenly lightning man-made... or a natural disaster?"

Ning Fengzhi gazed into the distance.

After noticing the black lightning that resembled a long sword,

he muttered to himself in confusion and curiosity.

Upon hearing this,

the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,

Yu Luomian, Liu Erlong's father, spoke. "That lightning must be a natural disaster seen only once in a century. After all, even our clan leader could not create something with such power."

Yu Yuanzhen,

the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,

was a Level 95 Peak Douluo Realm expert.

When it came to lightning, if Yu Yuanzhen claimed second place, then no one on the entire Douluo Continent would dare claim first.

Therefore,

after hearing Yu Luomian's words,

everyone present believed that the "black lightning" was a natural disaster and could not possibly have been caused by a person.

After all,

even the foremost expert in lightning could not produce heavenly lightning of such power.

Other than a natural disaster, who else could create such lightning?

As she sat elegantly upon her throne,

Bibi Dong slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

Among everyone present,

Bibi Dong was undoubtedly the strongest. Therefore, her spiritual power was also the most formidable among them.

And within the aura and pressure that had arrived earlier,

she had faintly detected a strange... energy.

This energy was completely different from Soul Power, yet it was extraordinarily powerful.

How powerful was it?

Powerful enough to make even her, who possessed Twin Martial Souls and had reached the Peak Douluo Realm, somewhat wary.

Therefore,

Bibi Dong understood

that black lightning... was far from simple!

And toward that extraordinary black lightning,

Bibi Dong developed a strong curiosity. Thus, she wanted to investigate it and see whether some unknown secret lay behind it.

With that thought,

Bibi Dong spoke.

"Why has His Highness the Crown Prince not arrived yet? Could it be... that he has only just entered the city? I vaguely recall... that the heavenly lightning struck near the city gates. So... perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince encountered danger."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words,

everyone present suddenly changed expression.

Among them,

Xue Ye, Xue Beng, and Ning Fengzhi reacted the most strongly.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe

was Ning Fengzhi's disciple,

and also the pillar supporting the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If anything happened to him,

then all of Ning Fengzhi's plans and painstaking efforts

would be... completely ruined.

For that very reason, when Ning Fengzhi heard that Xue Qinghe might be in danger, he immediately grew worried and anxious.

After gradually coming back to his senses,

Ning Fengzhi rose from his seat and spoke. "Your Majesty, Sword Uncle and I will go see how His Highness the Crown Prince is doing."

Upon hearing this,

Xue Ye immediately replied, "Good! Then I shall trouble Sect Master Ning."

After saying that,

Sword Douluo Chen Xin rode his sword, carrying Ning Fengzhi as they hurried toward the eastern city gate.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi depart,

and with her scheme having succeeded,

Bibi Dong seized the opportunity to speak. "Your Majesty, I shall also go lend Sect Master Ning a hand."

After saying that,

without waiting for Xue Ye's response,

Bibi Dong, accustomed to acting domineeringly, left with Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo.

Seeing this,

Xue Ye could not say much.

He merely silently instructed the guests to continue the music and dancing.

"Fengzhi, be careful when we get there. I sensed a trace of Sword Qi within that black lightning."

While riding his sword,

Ning Fengzhi suddenly received a voice transmission from Chen Xin.

Upon hearing this,

Ning Fengzhi furrowed his brow

and replied, "Sword Qi?"

After Ning Fengzhi spoke, Sword Douluo Chen Xin replied,

"That's right, Sword Qi!"

"And it is no ordinary Sword Qi. I can sense that its Sword Qi is stronger than my Seven Kill Sword Qi, sharper, and even more piercing!"

"Therefore, that black lightning earlier was likely no natural disaster. It was very likely man-made."

"But on Douluo Continent, I truly cannot think of anyone who has achieved such heights in both lightning and the Sword Dao. So when we get there, be as careful as possible."

Listening to Chen Xin's words,

and confirming repeatedly that he had not misheard,

Ning Fengzhi unconsciously swallowed.

Sword Qi stronger than Chen Xin's, the man known as Douluo Continent's greatest swordsman? Was that... really possible?

Though he found it difficult to believe,

Ning Fengzhi gradually became solemn and serious.

As he remained on high alert and eagerly anticipated what would happen next, he could not help but worry.

Of course,

rather than worrying about what would happen next,

he was even more worried about how his precious daughter Ning Rongrong had been doing lately at Shrek Academy.

Elsewhere,

as Bibi Dong and the other two sped toward the city gate and gradually drew closer, they too began to sense that something was wrong.

"Your Holiness, that heavenly lightning... seems to have been formed by a special kind of power. Though that power is entirely different from our Soul Power, its strength is comparable to Yuanguan's and mine. Not only that, there is also a sharp, piercing edge within the heavenly lightning."

As Ghost Douluo Ghostly spoke,

an unmistakably grave and solemn expression appeared on his face.

Clearly,

this peculiar power had made him feel pressure.

Otherwise, he would not have worn such an expression.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent,
