Soul Beast Secrets, Undercurrents Surge! (Please Keep Reading)

"Million-Year Soul Beast?!" The pontiffs were all stunned.

A few years ago, Spirit Hall had discovered an island inhabited by a large number of Soul Masters.

Qian Daoliu had led over two thousand Soul Masters there to bring them under his control, but in the end, only a little over a hundred Spirit Hall Soul Masters returned. Two Title Douluo had also died.

They had heard about this matter in the Worship Hall as well.

It was also because of this incident that Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had gone to Sea God Island together.

Qian Xunji had brought back news that Sea God Island had a Sea God High Priest whose strength was equal to Qian Daoliu's and Tang Chen's. All three were Rank 99!

Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "Grand Pontiff, if I remember correctly, that High Priestess was said to be invincible in the sea. Yet she was only slightly stronger than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?"

"There is something you got wrong." Qian Daoliu shook his head with a grave expression. "Bo Saixi is only slightly stronger than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King when she is on Sea God Island."

"Sea God Island holds a vast amount of the Sea God's divine power. Only by calling upon those powers on Sea God Island can Bo Saixi drive back the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."

"But if Bo Saixi fought the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in the Demon Whale Sea Area, then... Bo Saixi would most likely lose!"

"A Million-Year Soul Beast is only one step away from becoming a god. Its control over the sea would not be inferior to Bo Saixi's in the slightest!"

Qingluan Douluo looked at Qian Daoliu and said, "Then, Grand Pontiff, according to what you said..."

"This mysterious soul beast may be undergoing a 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation."

"Ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are equivalent to Title Douluo from Rank 91 to Rank 94. Those with stronger bloodlines, such as the Titan Giant Ape, are equivalent to Rank 95 Title Douluo."

"This mysterious soul beast may perhaps rival a Super Douluo. With only the elders of the Elder Hall, I fear..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "Grand Pontiff, how about I lead the team? I also want to see just how strong this mysterious soul beast is."

"No need to rush. Let's do this." Qian Daoliu said calmly, "This time, Qingluan will go. He will take two Title Douluo from the Elder Hall, along with some Soul Saints and Soul Douluo."

"If even Qingluan is no match for this soul beast, then with his speed, it will be easier for him to take the others and leave."

The people of the Worship Hall discussed matters like this and decided that, three days later, they would send a team to the place where the Lightning Tribulation had occurred.

"Excellent! Heaven truly favors my Clear Sky Sect!"

In the council hall, the current sect master, Tang Lan, looked at the intelligence report that the scouts had just delivered and could not help bursting into hearty laughter.

"After more than half a year, the Speed Clan has finally dug up the location of those two soul beasts!"

The First Elder, Tang Xuan, sat nearby and could not help laughing as well.

"Yes, Sect Master. And what is even more unbelievable is that, in just two days, six Blue Silver Kings undergoing the 100,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation suddenly appeared there!"

Greed flashed in Tang Xuan's eyes. "If we can lead people there and wipe them all out in one sweep, wouldn't our Clear Sky Sect instantly gain six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones and six Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings out of thin air?!"

Such astronomical profits were enough to drive any sect completely mad.

After a year, they had also found records regarding Lightning Tribulations in some of the sect's internal ancient texts.

Calling them records was an exaggeration. They were merely a few notes Tang Chen had left behind before departing.

Thus, they learned that above Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, there were even more powerful existences.

However, to attain greater cultivation, one had to pass through a Lightning Tribulation.

The lowest Lightning Tribulation was the 100,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation, while the highest was the million-year one.

Why had they only learned this now? Because they had never bothered to look through those texts before.

All brawn, no brains.

The reason they were investigating now was simply because they had discovered that their strength alone seemed insufficient.

Tang Xuan said, "However, because this Lightning Tribulation caused such a huge commotion, the major forces of Douluo Continent should all receive word of it. They will probably send people afterward."

"This means our chances of obtaining Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones have decreased. We must make long-term plans, and it would be best if we can let the mantis stalk the cicada while the oriole waits behind."

The several elders had no objections to this.

After all, if they were going out to hunt soul beasts, Tang Xuan, a Rank 93 Title Douluo, would certainly be the one leading the team.

As for Tang Lan?

Although he was a Rank 94 Title Douluo, his health was poor. He suffered from a serious illness and could not exert much strength at all.

This time, the other elders were also somewhat tempted.

There were six Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts from the Blue Silver Clan!

Including the initial two, that made eight!

Tang Hao only needed one now, while Tang Xiao needed three. But generally speaking, one Soul Bone of the same type was enough for a person.

That meant that if they hunted more than three Blue Silver Kings, these elders would also have a chance to obtain those Soul Bones!

After all, with Tang Chen's departure, the Clear Sky Sect was somewhat lacking in top-tier combat power.

That was also why Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had been sent out to train, so they could grow stronger as quickly as possible.

And because neither of them was weak, no one had been sent to protect them during their training.

At the beginning of their training, Tang Hao was Rank 70, while Tang Xiao was Rank 78.

With the two brothers joining forces, even high-ranking Soul Douluo would not have been their match.

Besides, the Clear Sky Hammer's symbol was so obvious. What force would dare lay a hand on the two of them?

Tang Chen had only been gone for a few years. His prestige still remained!

This was the confidence of their upper ranks.

They simply had not expected that Spirit Hall had been secretly keeping Title Douluo watching them all along. Truly hateful.

"Cough, cough." Tang Lan coughed twice, his face becoming even paler. "Then we'll proceed as you said."

"Our target is that soul beast which has already taken human form. Our secondary target is the six Blue Silver Kings that have just passed their Lightning Tribulations."

Just as the two great powers, Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, were secretly mobilizing their forces...

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the atmosphere was also growing somewhat heated.

Inside the grand and luxurious sect hall, Ning Fengzhi, young but already carrying an elegant scholarly air, walked before the two elderly men.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone." Ning Fengzhi looked at them. "You should have heard about the Lightning Tribulations in the Star Dou Great Forest for two consecutive days, right?"

At this time, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were both in their sixties.

One was Rank 86, while the other was Rank 85. Neither had received a title yet.

Thus, when they learned that so many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had suddenly appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, they were both extremely excited.

"Of course we know." Chen Xin nodded. "I plan to tell my father about this. If he is willing to make a move, obtaining one or two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones should be fairly easy."
