God Realm, Evil Soul Masters!

Jiang Che was still somewhat curious about Huo Yuhao. As everyone knew, Huo Yuhao was the Son of Destiny of Douluo Continent, a figure so significant that even Tang San was willing to use his own daughter as bait to secure him.

As the most important cheat item in the early stages, the Ice Empress had already been intercepted by Jiang Che in advance, and Jiang Che was curious to see if Huo Yuhao would obtain something else to replace her.

But just as Jiang Che was wandering around the Far North with Huo Yuhao, an accident occurred.

In the God Realm, clouds surged and divine light shimmered; the dwelling place of the gods was quiet and peaceful, with the aura of eternal God Kings flowing everywhere.

Inside the palace shared by the Sea God and Asura, Tang San stood quietly at the peak of the clouds. His blue-gold robe fluttered in the wind, his expression gentle yet imbued with supreme majesty. His eyes seemed to contain vast galaxies and endless cycles of reincarnation as he looked down upon the myriad planes below.

Yet at this moment, his gentle brows were slightly furrowed, and his originally clear and transparent mind stirred with an imperceptible ripple.

As the God King in charge of the Douluo plane, he had long had countless connections with Douluo Continent; the flow of the plane's destiny and the opportunities of its living beings were all within his perception.

But just a moment ago, a blurry blind spot had appeared in his perception of Douluo Continent. Especially in the direction of the Far North, the originally clear lines of destiny had suddenly become chaotic, as if forcibly obscured and disrupted by an invisible force. No matter how he focused his senses, he could no longer see through it in the slightest.

A strange feeling arose in Tang San's heart. His fingertips curled slightly, and a trace of Sea God divine power, restrained to the extreme, gathered quietly, not daring to be the least bit ostentatious.

The rules of the God Realm were strict; one could not interfere with the affairs of the lower realms at will, lest it disturb the order of the plane and break the balance of time and space. But now that his plans were being disrupted and the Son of Destiny was slipping out of his control, he simply could not sit idly by.

He closed his eyes, a divine light flashing between his brows. He compressed his divine sense to the size of a needle tip and carefully penetrated the barrier between the God Realm and Douluo Continent, quietly sprinkling down into the lower realm like fine rain, heading straight for the Far North.

He restrained all his pressure and suppressed his divine power fluctuations to the minimum, seeking only to quietly ascertain the cause without being detected by other gods.

But no matter how his divine sense tried to penetrate, that area of the Far North remained shrouded in an obscure and cold silver-blue barrier of laws. It had no divine power fluctuations and firmly isolated all external investigation. The moment his divine sense touched it, it was silently bounced back. After several attempts, he was unable to glimpse even a fraction of the scene inside the barrier, and instead, it caused the plane barrier to ripple with faint energy.

Tang San's brows furrowed even tighter, his suspicion deepening. To be able to resist the hidden investigation of a God King like him was definitely not something ordinary power in the lower realm could achieve. This variable was far more troublesome than he had anticipated.

And just as he withdrew his divine sense, a cold, majestic voice carrying the aura of destruction suddenly exploded above the palace, shattering the tranquility of the God Realm.

"Sea God Tang San, do you know your crime?"

Tang San's aura condensed slightly. He turned slowly to see the God of Destruction standing above the sea of clouds, dressed in a dark purple God King robe and wreathed in the aura of destruction. His purple-gold eyes stared coldly at him, and the pressure around him spread out, directed straight at Tang San.

Tang San's heart sank; he knew that his act of secretly investigating the lower realm had ultimately failed to escape the notice of the God of Destruction, who was also a God King.

"Destruction, why do you say that?" Tang San's expression remained calm. He quietly concealed all traces of his divine power and asked in a deep voice.

"Why do I say that?" The God of Destruction sneered and stepped forward. With a light ripple of his destructive divine power, he projected the phantom of the energy ripples that had just appeared on the plane barrier into mid-air. "The God Realm Code clearly stipulates that gods must not use divine authority to interfere in the lower realms, nor may they privately investigate planes with divine sense to disturb the balance of destiny. As one of the God Realm's Law Enforcement Committee members, you have knowingly violated the rules by secretly penetrating the plane barrier to investigate the lower realm. Do you still wish to quibble?"

Tang San's gaze sharpened. His philosophy had always been at odds with the God of Destruction, and they had often checked each other. Now that he had been caught in the act, even if he wanted to cover it up, he had no way to deny it.

He knew well that the God of Destruction would never let go of this opportunity to check him, and his unauthorized investigation had ultimately provided the other party with leverage.

Above the sea of clouds, the auras of the two God Kings confronted each other, and the originally peaceful divine light of the God Realm became stagnant. An invisible clash of God Kings had thus begun.

Jiang Che had no idea that the World Shielder he had just obtained had caused a conflict between two God Kings, but if he did know, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

Jiang Che and the Ice Empress had taken Huo Yuhao through more than half of the Far North, but forget about opportunities—they hadn't even encountered a single hair of a mental-type soul beast.

At this moment, Jiang Che and the others had stopped flying. Just as Jiang Che was thinking that even for a Son of Destiny, his opportunities were fixed, something unexpected happened.

The cold wind of the Far North suddenly became foul-smelling. A rich, bloody stench mixed with the scent of decay rushed toward them with the wind. Huo Yuhao's face turned pale, and he subconsciously shrank behind Jiang Che; the smell lingering at the tip of his nose made his stomach churn.

Jiang Che's gaze darkened, and silver-blue soul power quietly covered his body. The Ice Empress also frowned slightly, her cold gaze sweeping toward an ice valley not far away.

Deep within that ice valley, a dozen black-robed figures were gathered together. Soul power as black as ink surged around them, faintly revealing evil and strange fluctuations.

On the ground, several corpses of ten-thousand-year soul beasts lay scattered, their surfaces covered in a strange black mist.

"Evil Soul Masters?" Jiang Che whispered, a hint of surprise in his tone.

The Far North was bitterly cold and remote, always the territory of ice-type soul beasts. Evil Soul Masters had always preferred dark and filthy places; why would they come to this frozen land?

Just as Jiang Che and the others discovered the group of Evil Soul Masters, they also discovered Jiang Che. Seeming to notice that the aura on Jiang Che was not weak, they did not act rashly, but instead frowned and discussed what to do.

"Second, what kind of hellish place did you pick? We just got here and already ran into someone." The old man leading them asked the person next to him, who looked about the same age.

"Big Brother, you can't blame me for this. There were supposed to be a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts here, including an eighty-thousand-year one. Logically speaking, it's impossible for anyone to come here," the old man called "Second" said aggrievedly.

"Forget it. There's a Title Douluo on the other side, and we don't know if there are any helpers nearby. It'll be troublesome if we mess this up."

After the leading old man finished speaking, he sent a subordinate over to talk to Jiang Che.

PS: To all the big bosses, I have read all the recent comments. Most of them say that I am suppressing the leveling, and I want to apologize to everyone here!

But I don't know if I misunderstood when I read Soul Land II. In any case, I have always felt that absorbing soul rings or soul bones really doesn't add much soul power. I've seen fanfics before where they absorb a soul ring in the early stages and gain 5 or 6 levels.

But that's because they suppressed their levels for a long time before absorbing the soul ring, and they didn't go hunt soul beasts for a long time after breaking through. I don't want to do that, but I can't help it if you all want to see it.

However, this book can't be changed anymore; the cost is too high and it's not worth it. So, I plan to start another book in a few days. This time I have learned my lesson and will write according to everyone's comments. I must write a real, satisfying Soul Land II fanfic. However, the next one won't start with a Title Douluo; I'm afraid I'd become a god before it even hits the shelves, and I wouldn't know how to write it.

Finally, this book will be published tomorrow. This college student is kneeling and begging everyone; I hope you can reward me with your continued reading tomorrow!
