Forcibly Establishing the Spirit Hall Empire, Bibi Dong's Summons

It exploded.

Douluo Continent exploded three times in a row.

Over the course of more than a month, three earth-shattering events took place across the entire Douluo Continent.

Tang Hao, once the continent's greatest genius, was brutally killed in Spirit City, his corpse nailed to the Angel Sacred Statue. An Imperial Prince and a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire died kneeling in the Star Dou Great Forest. But the most explosive news of all was that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... was gone.

No, it was not merely that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was gone.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, along with the entire mountain range that stretched for a hundred miles, was gone.

And the one who had destroyed it was none other than Chen Changfeng, Spirit Hall's Judgment Elder.

That day.

At least one-fifth of the soul masters in the Heaven Dou Empire witnessed it all with their own eyes. The slaughter of Tang Hao in Spirit City and the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had both been done by that man who seemed like the God of Destruction. Although he had not personally admitted to killing the Imperial Prince and prince, comparing it to the devastation in the Star Dou Great Forest gave nearly every soul master the answer.

The imperial relatives had been killed by that youth.

The Soul Master Tournament had become the fuse that set the entire situation on Douluo Continent spiraling out of control.

Those who understood, understood.

Shrek Academy had nearly ruined Spirit Hall, damaging the face of the empire behind it. Xue Ye flew into a rage over this and, with the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, forcefully spoke up for Shrek Academy, demanding that Spirit Hall give an explanation within seven days.

Who could have imagined that Spirit Hall would refuse to play by the rules?

You wanted an explanation? Then they would give you one.

The Heaven Dou Empire's delegation sought to join forces with the Star Luo Empire to suppress Spirit Hall, even dispatching imperial relatives personally. Yet what happened? The Heaven Dou delegation never even made it to the Star Luo Empire. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan intended to declare war on Spirit Hall during its Enfeoffment Ceremony, only to suffer the consequences that very day. Spirit Hall's Judgment Elder destroyed the entire sect all by himself.

Unstoppable! Spirit Hall's Judgment Elder was truly unstoppable.

Under such circumstances, nearly every faction on Douluo Continent had their hearts in their throats. Those smaller factions able to join Spirit Hall all chose to do so, while the somewhat larger factions chose to wait and see, keeping their distance from Spirit Hall. After all, no one wanted to become the second Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Papal Palace.

Boom!!!

The Pope's stone throne was reduced to silver dust beneath the impact of overwhelming Soul Power.

Bibi Dong slowly withdrew her Soul Power, cold light blooming in her eyes. "Bastard! He has completely lost all sense of restraint! Is he trying to forcibly disrupt Spirit Hall's entire plan?"

"Y-Your Holiness." Yue Guan truly could not understand why Bibi Dong was so enraged. In his eyes, the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan should have been a great blessing for Spirit Hall. Had the Judgment Elder not rendered an immense service? Why had Her Holiness lost control of her emotions again?

Yue Guan's fear carried a trace of bewilderment. Bibi Dong was not someone who indulged her emotions; she excelled at forbearance. Even when dealing with him and the old ghost for failing in their duties, she would have directly killed them if she acted according to her current temper. Yet rather than following her temper, she always considered the bigger picture, suppressing her killing intent for the sake of Spirit Hall's plans. Why was the usually wise and composed Pope targeting the Judgment Elder at every turn?

When they saw that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been destroyed.

The moment the two elders returned to the Papal Palace, they could barely wait to report to Bibi Dong. That was what led to the previous scene.

"Please quell your anger, Your Holiness." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo bowed at the same time.

Ghost Douluo remained a shadowy phantom, while Chrysanthemum Douluo's face was exceptionally pale. After all, this was also the first time he had seen Bibi Dong like this.

It was impossible not to be nervous.

He felt that Bibi Dong had become almost possessed ever since the Soul Master Tournament ended.

"Quell my anger?" Cold light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes. "Two elders, how am I supposed to quell my anger? Chen Changfeng has relied on Qian Daoliu's backing to act recklessly. And you? You are esteemed elders of Spirit Hall, Titled Douluo, yet you stood by and did nothing to stop him. In the end, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was destroyed, and Spirit Hall has been completely pushed into a passive position. Well done."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's expressions changed at once. They could hear intense killing intent in Bibi Dong's words.

The cold gleam of Rakshasa Aura flashed repeatedly in Bibi Dong's eyes. Under her gaze, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were already drenched in sweat. With their strength, they could not even summon a trace of resistance.

Her Holiness's strength had undergone a qualitative transformation.

What exactly had happened?

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo looked at Bibi Dong. An unprecedented chill flickered within those abyss-like pupils.

Could that be the reason behind Her Holiness's drastic change in temperament?

The Rakshasa Inheritance.

Bibi Dong had already accelerated the trials of the Rakshasa Inheritance. Yue Guan and Gui Mei did not know this; they only felt that something seemed to be influencing Bibi Dong.

"You may leave."

After a long while, Bibi Dong irritably waved her hand, the killing intent in her eyes receding. Then she ordered, "There can be no more hesitation under the current circumstances. Notify the infiltrators in the five great duchies. One month from now, Spirit Hall will officially announce the establishment of the Spirit Hall Empire. No matter what methods they use, they must completely seize control of imperial power within a month!"

"Elder Chrysanthemum, go find Hu Liena, then notify the Worship Hall to discuss matters concerning the empire."

"And one more thing."

Bibi Dong paused, then turned to Gui Mei beside her. "Elder Ghost, find Chen Changfeng's whereabouts. I have a summons assignment for the Judgment Elder to carry out."

After hearing Bibi Dong's arrangements.

The two Titled Douluo visibly breathed sighs of relief. They hastily thanked Bibi Dong for sparing them, then quickly left the council hall.

Watching their departing figures, cold light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes. "Chen Changfeng. Fine. Since you are so eager to force my hand, there is no need for me to be polite anymore. As long as you leave Spirit Hall successfully, I will be able to kill you openly and justifiably. We'll see."

One month later.

Heaven Dou City.

As one of the continent's two largest and most prosperous cities, Heaven Dou City's walls stood a hundred meters high, all constructed from the hardest granite. Above and below the walls, every patrolling and guarding soldier wore full armor and carried a spear. The murderous air they exuded showed just how formidable they were.

The towering city gate was thirty meters tall and thirty meters wide, enough for six riders to pass abreast. Two smaller side gates stood beside it, each fifteen meters tall and wide. Pedestrians could only enter through the side gates, while the central gate remained tightly shut.

No one noticed a youth completely wrapped in purple robes, wearing a bamboo hat, slipping into Heaven Dou City under the cover of dusk.

Heaven Dou City was extraordinarily prosperous. Every street was paved with blue bricks, and any one of them was as broad as Suotuo City's main road. The scale of the entire city could only be described as magnificent.

The person who had entered Heaven Dou City was none other than Chen Changfeng, who had followed the aura of Tang Xiao as he fled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. During the ambush, Chen Changfeng had left a trace of the Source of Destruction on him. He had intended to follow Tang Xiao's trail to the Clear Sky Sect, but that man had been clever. Dragging his severely wounded body, he had constantly hidden across the continent, until his final aura vanished within Heaven Dou City.

No one would have imagined that the youth responsible for so many horrifying events would still dare to enter Heaven Dou City alone.

Please spare a few votes. Some people said the pacing was too slow, so I'll speed it up.
