"You were unconscious for a whole week. His Holiness the Pope was worried sick!"
"Let's go let her know we're safe."
After Li Jiutian finished speaking, he helped Hu Liena sit up in bed.
"By the way, where did Xiao Ting go?"
Hu Liena asked. During their time in Slaughter City, the two of them had become close sisters.
"I sent her back to Bright Villa to keep Xiao Xuan company. Once the sect is officially established, I'll arrange an easy post for her."
Li Jiutian replied.
Hu Liena nodded slightly, and the two of them headed toward Pope Hall.
Inside Pope Hall.
Bibi Dong sat on the Pope Throne, her brow furrowed as if she were pondering something.
Ju and Gui, the two Douluo, stood beside her.
Below, Xie Yue and Yan stood respectfully to one side.
Just then, the doors swung open, and Li Jiutian and Hu Liena walked in.
"Teacher, I'm sorry for worrying you all this time."
Hu Liena spoke first.
"Nana, you're finally awake!"
When Yan saw Hu Liena enter, the worry on his face vanished.
"Little sister, I'm just glad you're all right!"
Xie Yue also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nana, you've both surpassed my expectations!"
"I thought it would take you three years to complete a hundred matches and then make it through Hell Road."
"I never expected you to do it in just a year and a half."
"You're the most talented children I've ever seen."
Bibi Dong lifted her beautiful eyes slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.
After all, it had taken her several years to leave Slaughter City back then.
"Teacher, I owe it all to Xiao Tian's help. If I'd been on my own, there's no way I could've completed a hundred matches in just a year and a half."
"Besides, Xiao Tian completed 99 matches in only six months. He held off on the last one just to wait for me."
Hu Liena answered seriously.
"What! He completed a hundred matches in only six months!"
Bibi Dong rose in astonishment. Then she remembered this monster's abilities, and quickly regained her composure.
"Nana, how many levels did your Soul Power increase while you were in Slaughter City?"
Yan asked.
"My Soul Power went up three levels, but my physical resilience and spiritual power are far greater than before!"
"Most importantly, Xiao Tian and I both obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain!"
"Divine Slaughter's Domain is incredibly powerful. It can enhance the user's aura."
"Within the domain, an enemy's strength is automatically reduced by ten percent, while the user can unleash one hundred and ten percent of their power."
"Divine Slaughter's Domain can also grow through killing. The more you kill, the stronger it becomes."
Hu Liena smiled faintly as she answered.
Bibi Dong nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Li Jiutian and asked, "Xiao Tian, how many levels did your Soul Power increase?"
"Your Holiness the Pope, my Soul Power only increased by four levels. I'm now exactly level 70!"
Li Jiutian replied respectfully.
"Oh, right. Everyone else may not know this, but Xiao Tian actually has Twin Martial Souls!"
Hu Liena added happily.
Her words stunned everyone present!
Li Jiutian's Eight-Winged Angel Martial Soul was already monstrous enough. He even had Twin Martial Souls?
Only three people knew he had Twin Martial Souls: Qian Daoliu, Luo Zixuan, and Hu Liena. No one else knew.
"Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian... You kept something this important even from me!"
Bibi Dong said calmly, a trace of anger in her voice.
"It's not that I wanted to keep it from everyone. My master specifically told me not to go around announcing that I have Twin Martial Souls."
"Your Holiness the Pope, I'm sorry!"
Li Jiutian lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"Forget it. You two should go back and rest."
"I'll call you if anything comes up."
Bibi Dong waved a hand, thinking:
"Now that Nana and Xiao Tian are both back, it's time to let the Upper Three Sects know who truly rules this continent!"
"Looks like I can move the plan forward!"
Li Jiutian and Hu Liena nodded slightly, then left Pope Hall.
Inside Spirit Hall.
When they reached a crowded military camp, the two suddenly stopped.
Their eyes were blood-red, and murderous auras began pouring uncontrollably from their bodies!
At that moment, their powerful murderous aura took physical form. Ice began to form beneath Li Jiutian's feet, rapidly spreading across an area five kilometers around them!
The soldiers nearest to them instantly froze into blocks of ice!
"Ah! R-run!"
"Help!"
The soldiers shouted, fleeing in panic!
Hu Liena pulled out her twin blades and darted toward the soldiers scattering in every direction!
She moved so quickly that dozens of red afterimages appeared in the air!
"Ah—"
Screams rang without end, and the air filled with the thick stench of blood!
In less than two minutes, more than a hundred soldiers had lost their lives!
Hu Liena had completely lost her reason. She killed everyone she saw!
Li Jiutian, meanwhile, stood motionless. His spiritual power was far greater than Hu Liena's, so he had retained a sliver of clarity.
"What's going on!"
Platinum Bishop Salas came out of the military camp and was stunned by the scene before him!
Outside the camp, the bodies of Spirit Hall soldiers lay everywhere, and their blood had already gathered into a small river.
"Not good! Xiao Tian and Nana have lost control of their murderous auras!"
Feeling the murderous aura, Bibi Dong knitted her brows and sped toward the military camp!
Ju and Gui, the two Douluo, hurried after her!
"Never thought I'd run into you at a time like this!"
"We'll settle our old and new scores together!"
Looking at the bewildered Salas, a smile flickered across Li Jiutian's lips. He released Divine Slaughter's Domain and charged at him!
A blood-red aura spread out for a kilometer around Li Jiutian. Salas was caught within Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Platinum Bishop Salas held an extremely high position in Spirit Hall, second only to Bibi Dong and a few elders.
Though he was a level 87 Soul Douluo, his combat strength was only average.
Li Jiutian had been looking for an excuse to kill him. He hadn't expected to run into him right now!
As Li Jiutian charged toward him, Salas's Soul Rings appeared in quick succession, and a white shield sprang up in front of him!
"God of Slaughter Assault!"
Li Jiutian gathered all his murderous aura into his left hand and slammed it into Salas's abdomen!
"Bang!"
The shield shattered, and Salas was sent flying a hundred meters away!
"General of Heavenly Might, why... why are you trying to kill me?"
"I've devoted my whole life to Spirit Hall. Even if I haven't earned merit, surely I've worked hard!"
Salas got to his feet and roared in protest.
Li Jiutian acted as if he hadn't heard a word. He summoned the Flame Aurora Sword and charged at Salas again!
Salas was only a level 87 support-type Soul Douluo. In terms of combat strength, Li Jiutian was leagues above him!
"How did those two come back from Slaughter City and suddenly go berserk?"
"I'm no match for Li Jiutian. I need to find a chance to escape, or I'm as good as dead!"
The Platinum Bishop thought this as he hurried toward Pope Hall!
"No prey has ever escaped my grasp!"
"Angel Domain!"
"Third Soul Skill, Air Cut!"
A sonic boom rang through the air as Li Jiutian instantly appeared in front of Salas!
Within these two domains, Li Jiutian could hold his own for a couple of moves even against a Titled Douluo!
"You think this old man is afraid of you!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Seeing no hope of escape, the Platinum Bishop unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar and poured all his Soul Power into charging at him!
"A moth flying into the flames. You're asking for death!"
Li Jiutian's expression darkened. Golden light burst from his eyes, and a Giant Golden Lotus dozens of meters tall appeared in front of him.
The lotus blazed with golden light, yet gave off no heat or fluctuations of Soul Power.
"It's just a flashy appearance!"
"Li Jiutian, die!"
Salas roared. The instant he touched the lotus, he realized just how terrifying this skill was!
"Ah—"
