Bo Saixi Goes to Listen to a Story!

Hearing this, Yue Guan felt a tremor in his heart.

Two Title Douluo dispatched simultaneously to capture a mere storyteller?

Martial Soul Hall had not seen such a display of force in many years!

"This subordinate obeys!" Yue Guan dared not show the slightest hesitation, quickly accepting the order.

"And if that Su Chen dares to resist?" Yue Guan asked cautiously, adding one more question.

"Resist?"

"If he is sensible and voluntarily hands over that body-refining secret technique and the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, This Seat might still leave his corpse intact."

"But if he does not know what is good for him..."

Speaking to this point, Bibi Dong let out a cold laugh, her scepter striking the floor with a heavy, muffled thud:

"Then break his four limbs, cripple his blood energy, and drag him back to This Seat like a dead dog!"

"In this Douluo Continent, it is not the turn of a storyteller to act so presumptuously!"

Hearing this, Yue Guan felt a chill run down his spine; he kowtowed repeatedly in acknowledgment before rising to exit the great hall.

However, just as Yue Guan turned around and one foot was about to cross the threshold of the hall.

"Wait."

Bibi Dong's voice suddenly came from behind him once more.

Yue Guan's body stiffened; he hurriedly turned back, lowering his head respectfully.

On the papal throne, Bibi Dong was not looking at Yue Guan.

She was looking down slightly at her own palms, which were as white as jade.

For some reason, another term from Yue Guan's report suddenly echoed in her mind.

Born with a Supreme Bone.

Depriving others of their origin Divine Bone to forcibly implant it into the body of a Double Pupil bearer.

This method, cruel to the extreme yet capable of defying the heavens and changing one's fate.

"Yue Guan."

Bibi Dong slowly raised her head, her face filled with madness:

"You just said that the Little One, Shi Hao, who had his Supreme Bone gouged out, not only did not die but instead underwent nirvana and rebirth?"

Yue Guan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously nodded: "Reporting to Your Holiness, that is what Su Chen said."

"However, he just happened to stop the story there and did not explain exactly how he was reborn."

Hearing this, the smile at the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth deepened.

"To lose all origin and still be able to undergo nirvana and rebirth."

"In this Su Chen's stories, there are truly too many taboos and secrets that should not exist in this world."

Having said this, Bibi Dong slowly clenched her fist.

What if she were to forcibly extract the Clear Sky Hammer, hailed as the number one tool Martial Soul in the world, and then use this so-called method of nirvana to implant it into the body of her daughter, Qian Renxue?

Or, perhaps, implant it directly into her own body?

Could the rules of soul bone and Martial Soul inheritance in this Douluo Continent be completely shattered?

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong became increasingly greedy.

"Go."

"No matter the cost."

"This Seat wants everything inside his head!"

"Every single word!"

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, at the southernmost tip of the Douluo Continent, deep within the vast and boundless ocean.

This was a sea area isolated from the rest of the world, shrouded year-round under the protection of the Sea God's Light.

Sea God Island.

This island, regarded as an absolute holy land by countless sea soul masters, was currently bathed in a tranquil and sacred azure glow.

At the summit of Sea God Mountain, the magnificent and solemn Sea God Hall stood, appearing like a monument that had remained unchanged since ancient times.

However, today, this tranquility that had lasted for millions of years was abruptly shattered by a series of hurried footsteps.

A burly figure was seen sprinting up the long stairs of Sea God Mountain.

He wore a blue robe engraved with a Sea Dragon totem, and his entire body radiated the formidable pressure belonging to a level ninety-five Title Douluo.

It was none other than the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island, Sea Dragon Douluo!

At this moment, the composure and dignity that usually graced Sea Dragon Douluo's face had completely vanished.

Soon, he rushed to the front of the great gates of Sea God Hall.

"Great High Priest!"

Sea Dragon Douluo knelt heavily on one knee upon the stone floor, not daring to even raise his head.

Deep within the great hall, the light was somewhat dim.

Only the massive, hundred-meter-tall statue of the Sea God emitted a soft yet majestic blue radiance.

And at the foot of the statue, a slender figure stood in silence.

It was a woman.

She wore a long, crimson robe of extreme luxury, her long sea-blue hair cascading down behind her like a waterfall, trailing all the way to the ground.

Her beauty was peerless, yet it carried the weariness of one who had weathered the passage of time.

Furthermore, she held a three-meter-long golden scepter in her hand, her entire being seemingly fused into one with this world and the statue of the Sea God itself.

She was the Great High Priest of Sea God Island, a ninety-nine-level Peerless Douluo, Bo Saixi.

Hearing Sea Dragon Douluo's urgent cry, Bo Saixi did not turn around.

She merely gazed quietly up at the statue of the Sea God before her, her voice ethereal and distant, as if drifting from beyond the heavens:

"What is the cause of such panic?"

"You are the head of the Sea God Island's Sacred Pillars; to lose your composure in such a manner, what kind of conduct is this?"

Sea Dragon Douluo swallowed hard, suppressing the shock in his heart, and gritted his teeth.

"Great High Priest, please calm your anger!"

"It is not that this subordinate lacks resolve, but the news coming from the mainland is truly too shocking, to the point that... it even constitutes a blasphemy against Lord Sea God!"

Hearing the word "blasphemy," a ripple finally stirred in Bo Saixi's otherwise tranquil eyes.

She turned slowly, her deep, ocean-like blue eyes falling calmly upon Sea Dragon Douluo.

"Speak."

Sea Dragon Douluo took a deep breath and reported the information he had gathered from the ocean-going merchant ships of the mainland, word for word.

"Reporting to the Great High Priest, a storyteller named Su Chen has appeared in Heavenly Dou Imperial City."

"This man is incredibly arrogant; within Listening Rain Pavilion, he spouts nonsense, fabricating an absurd universe he calls Perfect World and Shrouding the Heavens."

Following this, Sea Dragon Douluo quickly recounted the tales of the innate Supreme Bone, the Double Pupil, and the majesty of the Human Emperor in the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm.

"That Su Chen claims that in that world, a Titled Douluo doesn't even have the qualifications to be an ant."

"Any random prince or noble could shatter a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a single roar."

"He even said..."

Cold sweat broke out on Sea Dragon Douluo's forehead, and his voice could not help but tremble.

"He even said that if the Human Emperor who rules over billions of territories were to descend, even the gods in the heavens would have to bow their heads and submit!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken.

The soft blue light throughout the entire Sea God Hall flickered violently for an instant.

An indescribably terrifying pressure, like an undercurrent from the deep sea, erupted within the hall!

Facing this pressure belonging to a Peerless Douluo, even one as strong as Sea Dragon Douluo felt his chest tighten, nearly collapsing onto the floor.

Gods bowing their heads? Submitting and declaring themselves subjects?

In Bo Saixi's faith, the Sea God was the supreme existence of this world, the master who created all things and protected all life!

Now, a storyteller on the mainland dared to claim that gods must bow to a mortal emperor?

Such blasphemous words were like a knife carving into her heart!

"He is nothing more than an ignorant madman seeking attention."

Bo Saixi tapped her golden scepter lightly against the floor, and the terrifying pressure vanished in an instant.

Her voice returned to its cold and indifferent tone.

"Those soul masters on the mainland live in a corner, watching the sky from the bottom of a well; how could they possibly comprehend the true greatness of the gods?"

"Fabricating such absurd stories to catch the eye is merely a common trick of those vulgar mortals."

In Bo Saixi's view, this was nothing more than a farce.

A mortal who had never even seen the face of a god was simply using his own pathetic imagination to forcibly elevate the status of mortals.

However, Sea Dragon Douluo, still kneeling on the ground, did not feel any relief.

He raised his head and continued to explain:

"Great High Priest, if that Su Chen were merely a liar who could only wag his tongue, this subordinate would naturally not dare to disturb you with such a trivial matter."

"But!"

Sea Dragon Douluo's voice rose sharply:

"According to confirmed intelligence, that Su Chen is by no means an ordinary person!"

"Just yesterday, in front of all the elites in Heavenly Dou Imperial City, he clashed with the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."

Poison Douluo?

Bo Saixi's brows furrowed slightly.

Although Dugu Bo ranked at the bottom among Title Douluo, he was still a genuine level-92 powerhouse.

His Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison was something even soul masters of the same rank would find incredibly troublesome to deal with.

"Was that Su Chen poisoned to death?" Bo Saixi asked indifferently.

"No!"

Sea Dragon Douluo drew a sharp breath, as if recalling the terrifying scene described in the report.

"Facing Dugu Bo's ninth soul skill, that Su Chen didn't even release his martial soul!"

"There wasn't even a shred of soul power fluctuation on him!"

"He simply stood where he was, and a brilliant, golden essence blood erupted from within his body."

"Then..."

Sea Dragon Douluo swallowed hard, enunciating each word:

"With a casual flick of his sleeve, the gale stirred by his physical body alone shattered Dugu Bo's towering pillars of poison!"

"Following that, he stepped through the air, grabbed the neck of Dugu Bo—who had unleashed his martial soul avatar—and slammed him into the ground like a dying dog, knocking him unconscious on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Sea God Hall fell into instant silence.

Even the sound of the waves crashing against the reefs outside seemed to vanish at this moment.

Bo Saixi's originally calm blue eyes suddenly constricted.

Her fair hand, gripping the golden scepter, tightened abruptly, causing veins to bulge on the back of her hand.

No soul power?

Relying solely on physical essence blood, shattering a Title Douluo's attack with a flick of a sleeve, and insta-killing a level-92 Dugu Bo with one hand?

How could this be possible!

As a level-99 Peerless Douluo, Bo Saixi knew the limits of the physical body better than anyone.

Even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, which had lived for a million years in the deep sea, required the vast, ocean-like soul power within its mountain-sized body to sustain itself!

Stripped of soul power, how could pure physical strength reach the level of crushing a Title Douluo?

Unless...

An extremely absurd thought suddenly flashed through Bo Saixi's mind.

Unless the stories that Su Chen told...

That Little One who could lift a hundred thousand jin with one arm, that Ancient Sacred Body that could withstand divine weapons with its bare flesh.

They were all true!

"You just said, golden essence blood erupted from his body?"

Bo Saixi's voice was no longer calm; it carried a tremor she herself had not noticed.

"Yes!"

Sea Dragon Douluo nodded hurriedly: "Su Chen mentioned in his stories that once the physique known as the Ancient Sacred Body reaches minor completion, it generates a golden bitter sea, and the essence blood becomes like a dragon."

"That golden blood is naturally immune to all evil; a single drop can purify all sinister poisons in the world."

"Dugu Bo's serpent venom was like snow under the scorching sun before his golden essence blood, instantly dissolving without a trace!"

Hearing this, Bo Saixi fell into deep thought for a long while, gradually beginning to take the matter seriously.

Golden blood immune to all evil.

A supreme physique where the flesh becomes holy.

These things completely overturned everything she had known for nearly a hundred years!

In her worldview, for a soul master to become stronger, they must hunt soul beasts, absorb soul rings, and eventually pass the trials of the gods to inherit a divine position, only then transcending the mortal realm.

This was the truth she had firmly believed in throughout her life of guarding Sea God Island.

But now, that man named Su Chen had used an incredibly brutal method, in front of the entire world, to tear that so-called truth to shreds!

No need for martial souls, no need for soul rings, no need for the charity of gods!

With just a physical body, he could suppress a Title Douluo!

If he were allowed to continue cultivating, if he truly reached the level of the Great Completion Sacred Body he spoke of in his stories...

Challenging an Emperor?

No, on this Douluo Continent, that would be challenging the gods themselves!

Just as Bo Saixi's state of mind began to ripple with shock, Sea Dragon Douluo continued speaking from the side.

He was unaware of the violent tremors within the High Priestess's heart, simply pouring out the remaining intelligence in one go.

"High Priestess, it is not just this Ancient Sacred Body."

"That Su Chen also spoke of a woman named the Ruthless Empress."

"He said that this woman was born a mortal without even the qualifications to cultivate, a beggar picking through scraps in the dust of the world."

"Yet, she refused to accept her fate!"

Sea Dragon Douluo felt his scalp tingle more and more as he spoke:

"She possessed no divine inheritance, nor did she have a top-tier Martial Soul."

"She relied solely on herself to create the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, devouring those favored by the heavens."

"In the end, she used her mortal body to slaughter her way across the entire universe, slaying all kings, forcibly proving her path to become an Empress, and reigning supreme over the world!"

The moment the four words "Ruthless Empress," along with her tale of defying heaven and changing fate, fell into Bo Saixi's ears.

The sea outside Sea God Hall, previously calm and waveless, suddenly erupted into a terrifying tsunami a hundred zhang high!

Bo Saixi's body swayed violently, and she even took half a step back involuntarily.

Those eyes, which were always calm and unruffled, were now surging with tumultuous waves!

A mere mortal body...

Without a god's inheritance, forcibly proving the path to become an Empress?

These words nearly made Bo Saixi doubt her entire life.

Bo Saixi's own life could be described as glorious and illustrious.

She possessed the top-tier Sea God Martial Soul and was the most devout of believers.

Yet, for the sake of this so-called position of High Priestess of the Sea God, what had she sacrificed?

She had lost her freedom, trapped for life on this isolated island, unable to set foot on the mainland even once.

She had missed the man she deeply loved, forced to watch helplessly as Tang Chen traveled far away to seek the chance to become a god.

She had dedicated her entire life, including her future existence, to the Sea God, all just to wait for the one who could inherit the Sea God's position to appear, so she could sacrifice herself to pave his way!

She had always believed this was her destiny, an supreme honor.

But today, that storyteller named Su Chen had told such a story on the mainland.

A little girl with a mortal body, waiting for her brother, needing no pity from any god.

She did not revere heaven and earth, nor did she honor ghosts and gods.

Relying only on her own two fists, she carved out an Empress's throne that belonged to her alone!

Why?

Bo Saixi gripped the golden scepter in her hand tightly, her chest heaving violently.

Why, when both were human, could that little girl defy heaven and change her fate, trampling all rules and constitutions beneath her feet?

While she, Bo Saixi, born with top-tier talent, could only be reduced to a pawn of the gods, becoming a sacrificial offering for someone else's divinity!

For the first time in nearly a hundred years, Bo Saixi felt a flicker of doubt toward her faith and the absolute supremacy of the Sea God.
