"Death God Light, Death God Light..."
Facing imminent death, Ye Xishui could no longer maintain her composure.
She frantically urged the Death God Tower, pouring all the soul power within her body into her ninth soul skill in a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble.
Ye Xishui had only one thought now.
That was to survive...
Unfortunately!
This thought of Ye Xishui's was, in the end, nothing more than a pipe dream.
Who exactly was Qian Daoliu?
To describe him in one sentence, he was the stern father of every Evil Soul Master.
If even a single Evil Soul Master could survive from the hands of Qian Daoliu, it would mean Qian Daoliu was useless.
The golden light dissipated...
Only the figure of Qian Daoliu remained on the arena.
The battle lasted no more than a minute from start to finish.
Ye Xishui had been insta-killed by Qian Daoliu.
The speed was so fast that countless people were still in a state of bewilderment.
"What just happened?"
"A battle at the Limit Douluo level, and it ended this quickly?"
Ning Fengzhi widened his eyes, standing up in disbelief.
It wasn't as if he hadn't seen battles between Title Douluos before.
Generally speaking, the stronger the combatants, the more they needed to engage in a grueling, protracted fight.
Moreover, the combat power Ye Xishui had displayed was enough to wipe out an entire sect.
A single blast of Death God Light from the Death God Tower would leave anyone other than Qian Daoliu either dead or crippled.
A powerhouse of this caliber had been insta-killed by Qian Daoliu in one minute.
This was simply absurd.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ning Fengzhi would never have believed it.
"It seems that for the recent period, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must keep a low profile."
Ning Fengzhi felt a lingering fear.
Previously, when Qian Daoliu had disappeared from public view, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could be said to have been very restless.
Whenever Martial Soul Hall had any major movements, Ning Fengzhi would always go to oppose them.
Or otherwise, he would throw a wrench in their plans.
In short, Ning Fengzhi did not want Martial Soul Hall to have an easy time.
Martial Soul Hall was already powerful; if Ning Fengzhi didn't go and cause them some trouble, Martial Soul Hall would only grow stronger and stronger.
Eventually, they would rule the entire continent.
But now, Ning Fengzhi decided to play it safe and not seek attention in front of Martial Soul Hall for the time being.
There was no helping it; after this battle, the shock Qian Daoliu had given Ning Fengzhi was too great.
Ning Fengzhi did not want to attract Qian Daoliu to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by being too provocative.
Sword Douluo remained silent for a long time, finally struggling to spit out a single sentence.
"A gentleman takes revenge, even a hundred years is not too late."
After witnessing Ye Xishui being insta-killed, Sword Douluo suddenly felt that there was no need to rush into challenging Qian Daoliu.
Anyway, he still had plenty of prime years ahead of him.
After a hundred years, when his sword path had been honed to be even stronger.
It would not be too late to challenge Qian Daoliu then.
Heaven Dou Empire...
Emperor Xue Ye sat on his throne, silent for a long time.
The amount of information from the battle between Qian Daoliu and Ye Xishui was too immense.
First was Tang San.
The Heaven Dou Empire must win over this genius who would achieve dual godhood in the future.
Don't look at how Martial Soul Hall had been mediating the war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire all these years.
But in his heart, Emperor Xue Ye was most wary of Martial Soul Hall.
The reason was simple: Martial Soul Hall was just too strong.
If Martial Soul Hall truly desired to unify the Douluo Continent, the Heaven Dou Empire would be utterly unable to withstand them.
Therefore, Tang San, a genius capable of bringing about the downfall of Martial Soul Hall, must be secured by the Heaven Dou Empire.
With Tang San on their side, the Heaven Dou Empire would no longer need to fear Martial Soul Hall in the future.
Secondly, there was the matter of the Soul Tool used by Ye Xishui.
The power of the Death God Tower was truly terrifying.
Emperor Xue Ye now had only one thought: to push the development of Soul Tools with all his might.
There was no other way; the Heaven Dou Empire lacked high-level combat power.
In such a vast empire, there was only one Titled Douluo: Dugu Bo.
This sounded absolutely ridiculous.
Without enough Titled Douluos to hold the fort, Emperor Xue Ye's personal safety was far from guaranteed.
If Martial Soul Hall were to launch a decapitation strike, the entire royal bloodline would be slaughtered to the last man.
The Heaven Dou Empire simply could not block the sheer number of Titled Douluos at Martial Soul Hall's disposal.
Emperor Xue Ye did not want future emperors to continue facing such an awkward predicament.
However, cultivating a Titled Douluo was no simple task.
To raise a Titled Douluo required not only vast resources but also individuals with exceptional talent.
Across the world, those who could step into the ranks of Titled Douluo were the cream of the crop.
Their numbers were pitifully small!
And among this limited number, the vast majority of geniuses were already controlled by major sects and factions.
They were either in Martial Soul Hall or the Upper Three Sects.
It could be said that for Emperor Xue Ye, trying to compensate for the royal family's lack of high-level combat power by cultivating Titled Douluos was extremely difficult.
The only one he had managed to recruit, Dugu Bo, had only joined the Heaven Dou Empire because he was being hunted by Martial Soul Hall and had no other choice.
Fortunately, the appearance of Ye Xishui had provided Emperor Xue Ye with a new line of thinking.
The terror of Soul Tools could perfectly compensate for the royal family's deficiency in Titled Douluos.
If the Heaven Dou Empire could manufacture many Soul Tools like the Death God Tower, then even a Soul Douluo could easily kill a Titled Douluo above their rank.
When that time came, even if the Heaven Dou Empire had no Titled Douluos, they would not need to worry about being decapitated.
"Summon the Crown Prince to see me at once."
"Let the Crown Prince take full responsibility for pushing the development of Soul Tools."
Emperor Xue Ye commanded in an unquestionable tone.
Over the years, as the Crown Prince had become increasingly outstanding, Emperor Xue Ye had been able to entrust various affairs to him with peace of mind.
Emperor Xue Ye was undoubtedly very satisfied with the Crown Prince's performance.
Therefore, this heavy burden, which concerned the national destiny of the Heaven Dou Empire, naturally fell into the hands of the Crown Prince.
This was Emperor Xue Ye's trust and recognition of the Crown Prince.
Meanwhile, at the Crown Prince Mansion...
Qian Renxue watched Qian Daoliu's victory, but she could not bring herself to be happy.
In her mind, the words Ye Xishui had spoken about the destruction of Martial Soul Hall kept echoing.
This information left Qian Renxue unable to eat or sleep in peace.
She never imagined that Martial Soul Hall, with its ten-thousand-year legacy, would actually be destroyed at the hands of a mere brat.
What Qian Renxue found even harder to accept was that even if she inherited the power of the Angel God, she would still be no match for Tang San.
This effectively shattered all of Qian Renxue's pride.
One must know that from a young age, she had strived with the goal of inheriting the Angel God.
She took even greater pride in being a descendant of the Angel God.
Yet, in the end, everything she was proud of was fragile and weak in front of Tang San.
This was something Qian Renxue could not accept under any circumstances.
She had already mobilized every force she could to search for Tang San.
Once Tang San's trail appeared, she would immediately take men to hack him into mincemeat.
Qian Renxue would never allow Tang San to destroy Martial Soul Hall.
And she would certainly not allow her future to be ruined by his hands.
"Tang San, you had better pray that you never appear before me for the rest of your life."
"Otherwise, I will make you know the price of offending Martial Soul Hall."
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her eyes filled with coldness and defiance.
