Six Consecrators Join Forces to Besiege Pope Bibi Dong!

"No! The quasi-divine artifact must belong to Xiao Xue!"

"You all wait here. I'll go take it!"

Golden Crocodile clenched his fist and flashed toward Pope Palace.

"Second Brother, we're coming too!"

The five consecrators exchanged glances, then flashed after him.

"Stop! Bibi Dong's strength must have improved as well now... sigh!"

Qian Daoliu hurriedly tried to stop them, but they had already gone far away. He could only sigh and chase after them.

With Bibi Dong's current strength, even his words might not carry much weight anymore!

Sunset Forest.

The four factions had just withdrawn from the outskirts of the forest.

Just as they were about to part ways, they happened to witness the Sky Screen update.

"Third place is... Spirit Hall?!!"

Everyone present could not help crying out at once.

Especially after seeing Spirit Hall's terrifying foundation.

Yu Yuanzhen, who had always been at odds with Spirit Hall, stood there dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

The Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, which bore a blood feud against Spirit Hall, was even more stunned. He swallowed hard.

"Gulp! Is this still the Spirit Hall I know? It actually has such terrifying reserves!"

He was so frightened that he nearly fell over. Fortunately, Tang Xiao caught him in time, sparing him from making a fool of himself in public.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were equally incredulous, drawing in sharp breaths.

"Hiss, I truly never expected Spirit Hall to have hidden itself so deeply!"

Marshal Ge Long was furious.

"So many sects within the Two Great Empires have secretly become subordinate to Spirit Hall! I must return as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures with His Majesty!"

They were shocked, grim, or enraged. Only Xue Qinghe reacted differently.

"No... impossible! My Spirit Hall... how could it only be third?!"

Qian Renxue, who had always regarded Spirit Hall as her pride, was so distraught that she staggered slightly.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what's wrong?!"

Marshal Ge Long panicked and hurried forward to support her.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and the others also moved to lend a hand.

They all believed that the empire's crown prince had been dealt a blow by Spirit Hall.

"No! I'm fine!"

Xue Qinghe hurriedly steadied herself and said with feigned calm,

"I never imagined that this ambitious Spirit Hall possessed such reserves. What are your plans, everyone?"

Ning Fengzhi immediately said,

"At this point, the only option is for the Upper Three Sects to ally with Heaven Dou! Then we must draw Star Luo into the alliance as well!"

The Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect and Yu Yuanzhen, both usually arrogant, immediately agreed.

"I represent the Clear Sky Sect. We agree to an alliance!"

"I represent the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. We agree to an alliance!"

Marshal Ge Long slapped his chest in approval and cupped his hands toward the crown prince beside him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, let us quickly invite the three sect masters to Heaven Dou City to discuss matters with His Majesty!"

Xue Qinghe had no other choice and nodded.

"Then follow this crown prince to Heaven Dou City! Move out!"

As she spoke, a trace of gloom flashed through her eyes.

The situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse. She could only hope Spirit Hall would hold on.

She was also curious just what kind of forces the two factions above them were!

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.

"Spirit Hall's foundation is actually this deep... Heaven wishes to destroy my Heaven Dou!"

Xue Ye looked as though he had been struck by lightning and spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Your Majesty!"

The civil officials descended into chaos, their voices trembling helplessly.

"Even some of the major sects within our borders, such as the Elephant Armor Sect, have secretly become subordinate to Spirit Hall!"

"Spirit Hall is so terrifying. What do we have to contend against them? Perhaps we should surren—"

Before they could finish, the military officials cursed them as spineless cowards and promptly stepped forward, speaking respectfully.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has yet to return. If he brings back the Ice-Fire Treasure Basin, Heaven Dou will still have the means to contend against Spirit Hall!"

"Otherwise, we can form an alliance with the Upper Three Sects. Their situation must be much the same as ours at this moment. Your Majesty, do not give up too soon!"

Hearing that there was still hope, Xue Ye immediately propped himself up on the dragon throne's armrest and straightened, forcing himself to appear strong.

"Pass down my decree!"

"Keep a close watch on the crown prince's return. The moment he enters the city, report to me at once. I will personally welcome him!"

"Also send letters to the Upper Three Sects, inviting their sect masters into the palace!!"

Star Luo Empire.

Star Luo's emperor, Dai Xiaotian, and his wife had just finished hunting soul rings.

Both had now broken through to Rank 91, their strength vastly different from before.

Dai Xiaotian had originally been overjoyed, believing himself invincible beneath the heavens.

But upon seeing Spirit Hall's foundation, the smile on his face instantly froze, and he was left completely dumbstruck.

"This... Spirit Hall has actually concealed itself so deeply? Nearly twenty Title Douluo!"

"Several major sects within my Star Luo Empire have unknowingly become their subordinates as well!"

Dai Xiaotian, who had always considered himself born for battle, was struck by the first thought of retreat in his life.

With such reserves, perhaps only the combined forces of the entire continent could defeat Spirit Hall!

"Your Majesty! Do not lose heart!"

Star Luo's empress, Zhu Qingyue, hurried forward, wrapped her arm around his, and said thoughtfully,

"The Heaven Dou Empire and the Upper Three Sects have always been hostile to Spirit Hall. They must be panicking as well. We can discuss an alliance with them and resist Spirit Hall together!"

Upon hearing this, light instantly returned to Dai Xiaotian's eyes. He clenched his fists tightly.

"The Empress is absolutely right! Come, return to the imperial city at once and gather the officials and generals for discussion!"

"As for those sects within our borders that secretly serve Spirit Hall, they can all wait to suffer the Emperor's wrath!"

Aside from the Upper Three Sects and the Two Great Empires, the other major factions were also utterly shocked.

The major sects within the Two Great Empires that had secretly become subordinate to Spirit Hall all dispatched people to Spirit Hall to seek protection!

The two soul beast factions of the Extreme North and Star Dou Forest had originally looked down on human powers, but even they could not help becoming solemn now!

The Sun Moon Empire, which was planning how to invade Douluo Continent, did not stop searching for traces, but urgently ordered a full-scale strengthening of its military preparations!

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope's throne, her crimson-purple eyes half-lidded.

She had already sensed the consecrators rapidly approaching, yet she did not care in the slightest.

Bang—

Golden Crocodile blasted open the heavy palace doors with a palm strike and flashed inside.

The five consecrators following behind him also streaked into the hall like five flowing lights.

"Hehe, what brings the six consecrators here?"

Bibi Dong smiled coldly.

Golden Crocodile never beat around the bush. In a forceful tone, he went straight to the point.

"Bibi Dong, hand over the quasi-divine artifact! Spirit Hall is not yours alone to command, so the reward naturally cannot be monopolized by you alone!"

The five consecrators behind him nodded one after another, their burning gazes fixed on Bibi Dong as they spoke in deep voices.

"Bibi Dong, aside from the reward you absorbed, there should also be a soul bone and a quasi-divine artifact, correct? You may keep the soul bone, but the quasi-divine artifact must be handed over."

"Besides, judging by its name, that quasi-divine artifact is an item of purity. It is clearly unsuitable in your hands."

Bibi Dong's gaze swept across the six people in the hall, and a cold curve rose at the corner of her lips.

"Hehe, Spirit Hall is indeed not mine alone to command. But I am the Pope. How dare you act so presumptuously? If you want it, come and try. All of you, attack together!!!"

Golden Crocodile and the five consecrators instantly flew into a rage.

"Arrogant! We gave you a little face, and you truly think you are the heavens of Spirit Hall?"

"Brothers, attack!"

As the words fell, the six consecrators led by Golden Crocodile simultaneously released their martial souls.

Dazzling martial soul radiance and soul rings erupted throughout the great hall. Yellow, purple, black, and red soul rings interwove, instantly filling the entire space.

Among the six, the highest was Rank 98 and the lowest was Rank 96. Together, they charged at Bibi Dong atop the throne!
