The balance of power on the continent had changed completely in just half a year.
Before, two great empires had fought for supremacy, with Spirit Hall mediating between them.
Then the Star Luo Empire had unified the world, only to collapse in an instant less than a few months later.
Now, the entire Douluo Continent had split into three major powers.
Spirit Hall occupied the central lands and the area around Spirit City, Bibi Dong's Evil Soul Masters held the Northern Territory and the Far North, and the Star Luo Empire huddled within its old borders, clinging to life.
Caught between them, the sects and local strongmen either joined Spirit Hall, joined Bibi Dong, or pledged allegiance to neither, occupying their own patches of land and ruling as local emperors.
Of these three powers, Bibi Dong was the strongest.
Once Spirit Hall learned that Bibi Dong had become an Evil Soul Master, it had expelled her.
Bibi Dong had simply become the leader of the Evil Soul Masters.
Her cultivation had already recovered to level sixty. Her self-fusion Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Spider God Descends, could stack the power of her two martial souls together, producing might comparable to a Titled Douluo's.
Her army of Evil Soul Masters had already swollen to fifty thousand. Though their discipline was lax, they had strength in numbers, and every one of them had cultivated through devouring, making them far stronger in battle than ordinary Soul Masters.
After its resurgence, Spirit Hall's power had also grown rapidly, faintly projecting an unstoppable momentum, as though all hearts under heaven were turning toward it.
The Star Luo Empire had fared the worst.
After the Star Luo Emperor retreated within his old borders, he had fewer than a hundred and fifty thousand troops left.
