The video about Sea Spear Douluo continued playing on the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, undeterred by the flame war in the comments.
After Sea Spear Douluo passed the Black Tier Four Trial, broke through to become a Titled Douluo, and was appointed City Lord of Sea Spear City by the High Priest of Sea God Island...
He had thought that from then on, his life would consist of nothing but cultivation.
But as luck would have it, before long, a group of uninvited guests crossed the sea and arrived!
Whether they sought to harvest faith or simply wanted to spread the Angel God's fading glory across the entire Douluo Continent...
Spirit Hall dispatched more than two thousand Soul Masters, led by several Titled Douluos, intending to take Sea God Island in one fell swoop.
Compared to the ocean, the mainland was indeed not very large, but its resources were far easier to exploit, making them much more accessible than those in the sea.
Thus, in terms of both foundations and strength, Spirit Hall at the time far surpassed Sea God Island.
An army made up of Soul Masters was something Sea God Island could never hope to repel with its own strength alone.
In this battle—no, to be precise, in this war—
Even with Sea Spear Douluo wielding the Nanook Spear and the other six Sacred Pillars fighting with all their might, they still could not turn the tide.
The flames of war were about to reach the island itself.
At the critical moment, Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island, made her move.
She led the Seven Sacred Pillars in forming a battle array and revealed her strength as a Level 99 Limit Douluo. Not only did she repel Spirit Hall's army of two thousand Soul Masters, but she also slew two Titled Douluos in battle.
Only then, as he watched Spirit Hall's forces flee by ship like beaten dogs, did Sea Spear Douluo, who had been on the front lines, finally let out a small sigh of relief.
But if that had been all, it would not have worn down his pride so much.
After all, he had been surrounded in the earlier battle. In a one-on-one fight, those Titled Douluos from Spirit Hall might not have been his match!
How could Sea Spear Douluo possibly accept such an outcome?
However, the good times did not last. Before long, after Spirit Hall's army retreated, another mainland faction arrived at Sea God Island.
But unlike the sea of people who had come before, this time there were only two of them!
And yet, despite their meager numbers, the pressure they carried was even greater than that of the two thousand who had come before!
Through Sea Spear Douluo's memories, everyone watching the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking also saw the two figures suspended high in the sky.
One wore a luxurious white robe embroidered with gold, paired with golden angel armor. Six-winged angel wings of light unfurled behind him, and his golden hair was neatly groomed. He was handsome and striking.
He exuded a sacred, dignified, and gentle air, yet one that left no room for doubt.
He seemed mild and smiling on the surface, as if harmless to man and beast.
But once he released his Soul Power...
Under the radiance of golden light, his pressure bore down like the sky collapsing. He embodied absolute order and light, the invincible ruler of the sky!
Sea Spear Douluo later learned from Bo Saixi, the High Priest, that this man was named Qian Daoliu!
Like Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu was not only a Level 99 Limit Douluo, but also a Divine Servant!
The only difference between them was that Bo Saixi served the Sea God, while Qian Daoliu served the Angel God!
As for the other one...
Unlike Qian Daoliu's refined, easygoing manner, the other man's aura was clearly far more flamboyant and unrestrained.
He wore a fitted black outfit beneath a dark brown leather trench coat.
His clothes were practical and free of needless decoration. A simple, ancient-looking belt usually hung at his waist, and he carried a metal warhammer etched with dark-gold magic patterns.
He had black hair and eyes, a tall, powerfully built frame, and a resolute, deeply carved face. He seemed tempered by blood and battle.
Steady as Mount Tai, fierce as a thunderclap!
He stood as immovable as the earth, yet the moment he moved, he seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Unlike Qian Daoliu, Invincible of the Sky, this man was the one known as Invincible on Land!
His aura was heavy and fierce, full of oppressive force and the chilling killing intent of a lifetime of warfare.
At the same time, after hearing Bo Saixi's explanation and learning that Tang Chen had reached Level 99 through his own cultivation, without relying on a divine trial...
At that moment, all the pride in Sea Spear Douluo's heart shattered!
No one but the three of them knew what had happened during those days they spent together.
In any case, after confirming that they were invincible on land, sea, and in the sky, Tang Chen was the first of the three to leave.
Qian Daoliu left soon after.
No one knew what agreement the two sides had reached, but from then on, Spirit Hall never set foot on Sea God Island again!
[Sea Spear Douluo's review is complete. Reward: Soul Power Level +1; all of his Spirit Rings are increased by 1,100 years!]
As the streak of light sank into Sea Spear Douluo's brow, he felt his Soul Power grow denser and stronger. Yet instead of smiling, a trace of worry appeared on his face.
He knew his own situation best. Among the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, he ranked second!
It was easy to imagine that in the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking reviews to come, aside from Sea Dragon Douluo, who ranked first, and the High Priest, Bo Saixi...
No other Soul Masters from Sea God Island would make the list!
At such a troubled time, they had lost the very strength they depended on most. How could Sea Spear possibly feel happy?
Unlike Sea Spear Douluo's gloom, however, the comments and barrage had become incredibly lively after everyone watched the ranking review.
[Whoa, what am I seeing?]
[Invincible of the Sky, Qian Daoliu; Invincible on Land, Tang Chen; and Invincible of the Ocean, Bo Saixi!
Limit Douluos, who only existed in legends, have all appeared at once. If they were still alive, they'd surely rank near the top of the list. It wouldn't even be impossible for one of them to claim first place, would it?]
[Blue Robe Your Excellency, forgive me, but I'm going to place my bet. It's not that you aren't strong enough; it's just that their odds are far too good!]
Although Qin Yun's feat of suppressing the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear with a single move had been terrifying, it still fell a little short of a genuine Level 99 Soul Power cultivation.
[Something's not right. This is a little strange!
When Sea God Island came up earlier, didn't someone named Bo Saixi appear in the comments?]
[That's right! Not only did she show up, she even got into it with Yu Xiaogang!
I just don't know whether the Bo Saixi from earlier is the same Bo Saixi as this one!]
[Then we'll just have to see whether certain people are lucky. Let's hope we can bet on the odds of two people having the same name!
And Sea Spear, Sea Woman—unless I'm mistaken, the one who insulted Yu Xiaogang earlier was also from Sea God Island, right?
Looking at it this way, that so-called Grandmaster probably made up everything he said!]
[Grandmaster? Heh. More like Grand Ass!
A useless Level 29 Soul Power nobody, and he still has the nerve to put on airs!]
In the instructor dormitory at Shrek Academy.
As the comments turned against him, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tighter and tighter.
No, was his luck really that bad?
He'd just argued with someone on a whim, and she turned out to be Invincible of the Ocean, a Level 99 Limit Douluo?
Lady, if you had that kind of status, why the hell didn't you say so earlier?
I'm just a big talker. I never thought you'd actually be that incredible!
"No, no, I can't stay here!
If she holds a grudge, she'll definitely come after me in person. It looks like I can only find somewhere to lie low for a while.
But... where can I go now?"
