Cave Heaven Realm VS Six Title Douluo, Bibi Dong's Overture!

After saying this, Bibi Dong gently tapped her scepter against the ground.

Hum!

In an instant, Golden Crocodile Douluo behind her took a fierce step forward.

Roar!

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking crocodile roar, a massive phantom of the Golden Crocodile King emerged behind him.

The terrifying pressure of a level 98 powerhouse surged forward like a tangible tsunami, slamming directly toward the members of the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao let out a muffled groan, bracing himself against the pressure without retreating a single step.

It seemed as though Martial Soul Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were about to break into a massive brawl right in front of the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Yet at this very moment, inside a guest room on the third floor of the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Sunlight filtered through the carved wooden windows, spilling warmly across the polished floor.

On the windowsill, a round, ginger cat lay sprawled out, sleeping soundly.

Even though there were sixteen Title Douluo outside releasing their pressure in a standoff, causing the plaster on the exterior walls to flake off in showers, the cat didn't even twitch an ear, continuing to purr away.

Inside the room, Su Chen slowly sat up from his bed.

He stretched lazily, listening to the tense, sword-drawn atmosphere on the street outside, and couldn't help but let out a yawn.

"Wailing like a funeral procession this early in the morning?"

Su Chen muttered to himself as he shuffled in his cloth shoes toward the window.

He reached out with practiced ease to scratch the ginger cat under its chin.

"Purr, purr..." The cat rolled over comfortably, rubbing its head against Su Chen's palm.

Su Chen smiled, then walked unhurriedly to the copper basin to scoop up a handful of clear water and wash his face.

He grabbed a towel from the side to dry off.

Afterward, he slipped into a pristine, snow-white long robe and straightened the collar.

The standoff outside had reached a fever pitch.

Determined to avenge his brother, Tang Xiao ignored the overwhelming numbers of Martial Soul Hall.

"Move aside!"

Tang Xiao roared, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.

"Once I smash this Listening Rain Pavilion to pieces and take that storyteller's head, I'll settle old scores with you lot from Martial Soul Hall!"

With that, Tang Xiao acted recklessly, leaping directly into the air.

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand swelled against the wind, transforming into the size of a small mountain. Carrying enough terrifying force to crush city walls, it descended directly toward the entrance of the Listening Rain Pavilion!

Watching Tang Xiao make his move, Bibi Dong looked on coldly, making no attempt to stop him.

She intended to use Tang Xiao's hand to test whether there were any hidden formations within this teahouse.

Emperor Xue Ye's face turned deathly pale, and he retreated repeatedly under the protection of his royal guards.

Just as the giant hammer, heavy as Mount Tai, was about to crash onto the roof of the Listening Rain Pavilion—

Creak—

A faint sound of a wooden door opening echoed out.

Immediately following, the tightly shut wooden door of the Listening Rain Pavilion was slowly pulled open from the inside.

A young man dressed in a snow-white robe, holding a folding fan, stepped leisurely over the threshold.

He didn't even glance at the massive black hammer descending from the sky.

He simply raised the folding fan in his hand with casual indifference and gave a light wave toward the air above him.

"Smashing my shop door this early in the morning."

"Do you not know the rules?"

As Su Chen's voice fell, the seemingly fragile paper fan in his hand brushed lightly against the mountain-sized Clear Sky Hammer.

In an instant, the breeze stirred by the fan swept past, and Tang Xiao's strike—which had condensed the peak soul power of a level 97 powerhouse—vanished into thin air as if it had sunk into an endless ocean!

Not only that, but an irresistible force of recoil surged up the massive handle of the hammer.

Tang Xiao let out a muffled groan, feeling the webs of his hands instantly tear as blood splattered.

He and his massive Clear Sky Hammer were sent flying backward by that single breeze!

Bang!

Tang Xiao retreated over ten meters in mid-air before barely managing to land back on the ground, shattering the bluestone tiles beneath his feet.

Seeing this, everyone on the long street stood frozen in place.

In the distance, Emperor Xue Ye's pupils constricted violently, his very breathing coming to a halt.

Even Bibi Dong, standing on the other side, wore an expression of utter disbelief.

Golden Crocodile Douluo instinctively took half a step forward, shielding Bibi Dong behind him.

He had not sensed even the slightest fluctuation of soul power!

That young man in white had merely flicked his fan, yet he had shattered the full-force strike of a peak ninety-seventh-level Douluo?

"You are that Su Chen?"

After steadying his stance, Tang Xiao glared at Su Chen, who stood before the threshold, his teeth gritted in fury.

Su Chen closed the folding fan in his hand with a casual flick and tapped it lightly against his palm.

"Is this the Clear Sky Sect's way of treating guests—running over to tear down someone's house first thing in the morning?"

"You crippled my brother's arms! You humiliated him in public!" Tang Xiao's rage soared to the heavens, and the nine soul rings around his body pulsed frantically.

"Today, the entire Clear Sky Sect has mobilized; we will make you pay for your blood debt!"

Facing Tang Xiao's fury, Su Chen let out a mocking laugh.

"Pay in blood?"

After speaking, Su Chen's gaze swept over Tang Xiao and the five elders behind him, then he said with utter disdain:

"And you rely on this? A few rats who have been hiding on a snowy mountain, acting like cowards for over a decade?"

"Back then, even a single Pope from Martial Soul Hall could scare you into sealing your sect, unable to even protect your own Four Single-Attribute Clans, leaving them to be slaughtered at will."

"And now you come to my Listening Rain Pavilion to throw your weight around?"

Hearing these words, each one as sharp as a blade, the faces of the Clear Sky Sect members turned a sickly shade of green and white.

Sealing the sect and abandoning their vassal clans was the one thing the entire Clear Sky Sect loathed to mention.

Yet now, Su Chen had exposed it before the entire world.

"You arrogant brat!!!"

The Second Elder, possessing the most explosive temper, instantly lost his composure, trembling with rage.

"Why waste words with him!"

"Form the array! The Clear Sky Array! Today, I will smash him into a pulp!"

BOOM!

Following the Second Elder's thunderous roar, Tang Xiao and the five other Clear Sky Sect elders—six peak powerhouses in total—instantly shifted their positions.

Six massive Clear Sky Hammers shot into the sky, weaving together into a terrifying thunderstorm in mid-air.

Immediately after, the soul power of these six men fused perfectly in the air, manifesting into a colossal, illusory black hammer over a hundred meters long!

The moment this giant hammer took shape, the surrounding void began to collapse inch by inch.

This was a lethal strike gathering the power of six Title Douluo; even a ninety-ninth-level peerless Douluo would never dare to take it head-on!

"Your Holiness, retreat!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression shifted violently, and he immediately shielded Bibi Dong, retreating dozens of meters in a flash, terrified of being caught in the wake of such terrifying power.

The Royal Knights accompanying Emperor Xue Ye were thrown into chaos, horses and men tumbling as they scrambled backward.

Everyone stared fixedly at the slender figure in white standing at the entrance of the Listening Rain Pavilion.

With a formation strike capable of destroying heaven and earth, how could he possibly withstand it?

Yet, facing the hundred-meter hammer looming above his head, Su Chen merely shook his head slightly.

"Scrap metal. It makes no difference how many you bring."

Having said that, Su Chen took a single step forward.

As he took that step, a profound black halo emerged from behind his head without warning!

Unique Cave Heaven!

The moment this Cave Heaven appeared, the essence of heaven and earth seemed to freeze in place.

In the next second, the hundred-meter hammer, with its overwhelming momentum capable of leveling the entire street, crashed directly onto that black halo.

There was no scene of him being smashed into a pulp as they had imagined; not even a single ripple appeared.

The hundred-meter hammer, which had condensed the entire soul power of six Title Douluo, shattered on the spot the moment it touched the Unique Cave Heaven.

"What?!"

"The array has been broken? How is this possible!"

Seeing this, Tang Xiao and the five elders were struck as if by lightning.

The forced interruption of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill caused all six of them to groan in unison, vomiting a massive mouthful of blood.

However, before they could recover from the shock, Su Chen's voice reached them once more.

"Kneel."

As the words fell, an incredibly domineering golden blood-energy erupted from Su Chen's body, pressing down upon Tang Xiao and the other five.

Crack! Crack!

Accompanied by a series of bone-shattering sounds that made one's scalp tingle.

Even though the six Title Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect had resisted with all their might, their knees were instantly crushed under the pressure.

In the end, the six of them knelt in perfect unison before the entrance of the Listening Rain Pavilion, smashing six deep craters into the hard bluestone floor.

The dignified Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect and his five elders were suppressed in the middle of the street by a storyteller who hadn't even moved a finger, forced to their knees and unable to rise!

"Immune to all laws, it really is immune to all laws!"

Not far away, Emperor Xue Ye, who had witnessed everything, gripped Xue Qinghe's arm, his voice trembling.

"Qinghe, you did the right thing! You did exactly the right thing!"

"Such a master with god-like methods—my Tiandou Empire must win him over, even if it means emptying the national treasury!"

"Imperial Tutor, he is absolutely an Imperial Tutor!"

On the other side of the long street, the members of Martial Soul Hall were also plunged into silence.

Golden Crocodile Douluo swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Your Holiness..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo lowered his voice, his tone filled with unprecedented wariness.

"That black halo is definitely not a martial soul!"

"It was able to instantly neutralize the combined strike of six Title Douluo; such a method is something this old man has never even heard of!"

Yet, how could Bibi Dong not know this?

She had witnessed it all with her own eyes and knew very well that Tang Xiao and the others had not held back.

The power of that combined formation was something even she would have to retreat from.

Yet, in front of this Su Chen, it hadn't even caused a ripple.

"A Unique Cave Heaven, is it..."

"This Mr. Su is truly terrifying!"

"No matter what, my Martial Soul Hall must win him over!"

Watching Tang Xiao and the others kneeling like dead dogs, the crowd was slow to react.

Soon after, Emperor Xue Ye, not far away, was the first to regain his senses.

This Tiandou monarch, who was usually high and mighty, ruling over vast territories, now pushed aside the royal guards protecting him.

He didn't even bother to adjust his slightly crooked crown, striding directly to the steps of the Listening Rain Pavilion.

"Mr. Su's divine power has truly opened this old man's eyes!"

Emperor Xue Ye stood at the foot of the steps, bowing slightly, his aged face filled with a look of extreme respect and flattery.

He changed his self-reference, casting his imperial dignity to the winds.

"With such heaven-shaking and earth-shattering methods, even if a god were to descend from the heavens, they would likely be eclipsed by your presence."

"It is the great fortune of Tiandou that a peerless master like you has chosen to live in seclusion here!"

Having said this, Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath and, without hesitation, threw out the chips he had prepared:

"If you do not find it beneath you, I am willing to treat you as a national treasure!"

"From this day forth, you shall be the sole Imperial Tutor of the Tiandou Empire!"

"The rare treasures in the national treasury and the spirit bone manuals in the royal vault are all yours to use as you please."

"Even if you desire half of the Tiandou Empire's territory, this old man will not utter a single word of objection!"

Whoosh!

As soon as Emperor Xue Ye finished speaking, the spies hiding in the shadows were struck with shock.

Half the empire!

He had essentially offered the entire foundation of the Tiandou Empire on a silver platter!

However, before Emperor Xue Ye could finish his thoughts.

Bibi Dong, on the other side, let out a cold snort and walked over, her long, slender legs moving with grace.

She tossed the Pope Scepter in her hand to Golden Crocodile Douluo behind her, forcing a gentle and humble smile onto her beautiful face.

"Xue Ye, do you really dare to bring out such worldly trinkets to embarrass yourself in front of Mr. Su?"

Bibi Dong mocked him mercilessly, then looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed directly on Su Chen on the steps.

"Mr. Su, yesterday it was my Martial Soul Hall's subordinates who didn't know the rules and offended you."

"Today, Bibi Dong has come in person to offer my apologies."

Bibi Dong bowed slightly, performing a spirit master's salute reserved only for peers.

Watching this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, standing behind her, looked as if their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

Is this truly the same Pope, known for her decisive killing and absolute supremacy?

"As long as you are willing, Sir."

"The gates of Martial Soul Hall will always be open to you."

"You shall not only be the Supreme Elder of Martial Soul Hall, but your status shall be equal to my own."

"All Cardinals and all Title Douluo under the banner of Martial Soul Hall shall be at your sole command."

"If you find Tiandou City too noisy, then in Martial Soul City, Bibi Dong is willing to personally pour tea and serve you, that we may discuss the Great Dao together."

Bibi Dong's words could be described as nothing short of explicit.

Not only was she offering power and wealth, but she even subtly presented herself—the stunningly beautiful Pope—as someone ready to be plucked by Su Chen.

For the sake of the Samsara Precious Technique, for the sake of that Unique Cave Heaven.

Bibi Dong had truly cast all caution to the wind!

Watching the two great figures below, whose mere footsteps could trigger earthquakes across the Douluo Continent, now acting like commoners haggling in a marketplace as they vied for his favor, Su Chen did not even lift an eyelid from his high platform.

He merely opened the folding fan in his hand with casual indifference and fanned himself twice.

Whether it was the half of the empire promised by Emperor Xue Ye or the highly seductive offer of Bibi Dong personally serving tea, both appeared as nothing more than roadside dust in his eyes, failing to stir even the slightest ripple in his heart.

"Imperial Tutor? Supreme Elder?"
