Why is it Spirit City again?

The atmosphere within the Hall of Worship was as quiet as ever.

This was one of the most special places in Spirit Hall, and the residence of its enshriners.

Ordinary soul masters had no right to set foot here; even high-ranking members of Spirit Hall had to show sufficient reverence upon arrival.

And at the very moment the anomaly appeared in the Awakening Temple, Qian Daoliu, who had been sitting with his eyes closed in meditation in the Hall of Worship, suddenly opened his eyes.

In the next instant, Qian Daoliu's figure had vanished from his spot.

With almost no sound, he appeared outside the Hall of Worship.

Qian Daoliu looked up.

Above Spirit City, that terrifying dragon-shaped phantom hung high in the sky.

Its posture was sacred and majestic, carrying an extremely peculiar sense of pressure. This was definitely not an ordinary soul beast, nor a common martial soul, but an existence from a higher plane.

Even Qian Daoliu's expression turned grave upon seeing the phantom.

Because he clearly felt that his own martial soul was being suppressed.

This suppression was not from soul power level, nor from mere aura, but from something more fundamental.

It was as if the phantom's very status transcended many martial souls.

As a Rank 99 Absolute Douluo and the Great Enshriner of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel martial soul was already one of the continent's top martial souls.

Yet, even so, the sense of suppression persisted.

This compelled Qian Daoliu to take it seriously.

"God-tier martial soul..."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone laced with complexity.

Within Spirit City, another god-tier martial soul had appeared.

And judging by the oppressive feeling emanating from this phantom, this martial soul was absolutely extraordinary.

Just then, a golden figure also rapidly arrived beside Qian Daoliu.

The newcomer wore golden armor and exuded a powerful, heavy aura. It was the Second Enshriner of the Hall of Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

As soon as Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared, he too looked up at the massive phantom above Spirit City.

With just one glance, his expression turned somewhat grim.

He also felt the suppression.

And this suppression was particularly pronounced for his martial soul.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's martial soul was already a powerful beast-type martial soul, and he had cultivated to Rank 98. Across the entire continent, very few people could suppress him at the martial soul level.

But now, a mere anomaly from a newly awakened martial soul had given him this feeling.

This made him deeply uncomfortable.

Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice, "Brother, this aura..."

Qian Daoliu did not answer immediately.

He continued to gaze at the phantom in the sky, his eyes profound.

A moment later, Qian Daoliu slowly spoke, "Go to the Awakening Temple."

Golden Crocodile Douluo turned to look at him.

Qian Daoliu's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable weight.

"Go to the Awakening Temple immediately and bring the child who awakened a god-tier martial soul here."

Golden Crocodile Douluo did not hesitate.

Although he felt a pang of displeasure at the oppressive aura, he understood that a child who awakened a god-tier martial soul could not be left to their own devices.

Especially here, in Spirit City.

Since this child awakened in Spirit City, they must be under the control of Spirit Hall.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, "I'll go now."

As his voice fell, his figure instantly transformed into a streak of golden light, heading in the direction of the Awakening Temple.

Qian Daoliu remained standing outside the Hall of Worship, watching the phantom in the sky gradually tremble, his expression not entirely relaxed.

He had not expected such a commotion to occur in Spirit City today.

God-tier martial souls were already rare.

And a god-tier martial soul that could trigger an anomaly across the entire Spirit City upon awakening was even rarer.

At this moment, it wasn't just the powerhouses within Spirit City who felt this aura.

On the distant Sea God Island.

Great Enshriner Bo Saixi stood before the Sea God Hall, as if sensing something, and slowly raised her head.

Her gaze swept towards the direction of the continent. Despite the vast distance, that peculiar aura still stirred something within her heart.

"The aura of a divine-level martial soul..."

Bo Saixi murmured softly.

As the Grand High Priest of Sea God Island, she was extremely sensitive to auras at the divine level.

Even though this aura did not originate from Sea God Island, nor from the Sea God's inheritance, she could still sense its extraordinary nature.

More importantly, she could vaguely feel that the aura came from Spirit City.

Bo Saixi was silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh.

"Spirit City is truly a place of outstanding people and auspicious land, with another divine-level martial soul appearing."

Her tone held surprise, as well as a hint of complexity.

On the Douluo Continent, beings that could be called divine-level martial souls were already extremely rare.

Every person who possessed a divine-level martial soul, as long as they did not perish midway, had the potential to stand at the pinnacle of the continent in the future.

And such a genius had actually appeared in Spirit City.

For Spirit Hall, this was undoubtedly another significant foundation.

However, Bo Saixi did not take any further action.

She simply gazed quietly in the direction of the continent, and after a moment, withdrew her gaze.

On the other side, in the City of Slaughter.

A dim and oppressive atmosphere enveloped the place, where slaughter and bloodshed seemed to never dissipate.

The King of Slaughter also sensed the aura of the divine-level martial soul emanating from afar.

He raised his head, a flicker of fluctuation in his scarlet eyes.

"Spirit City..."

He uttered softly.

The aura was indeed very strong, so strong that it was enough to attract the attention of the true top powerhouses on the continent.

But the King of Slaughter quickly lost interest.

To him, as long as this aura did not come to the City of Slaughter and did not affect his current state, then no matter what divine-level martial soul appeared in Spirit City, it had little to do with him.

Thus, he merely snorted dismissively.

Then, he turned around, no longer paying attention to the distant aura, and continued to fight for control of his body.

At the same time, in the Awakening Temple.

Lu Chen's consciousness was still immersed in that deep universe.

He watched as he transformed into a dark purple, cloud-like spherical energy body, completely devouring the shattered and desolate planet.

The feeling was very peculiar, like observing from the outside, yet also like experiencing it firsthand.

He could feel the immense flow of energy, and also the instinct to devour everything.

After the planet was completely consumed, Lu Chen's consciousness finally began to slowly return.

The surrounding cosmic scenery gradually faded.

The boundless darkness receded, the cold starlight drifted away, and everything seemed to be pulled back into the depths of his body.

Immediately after, Lu Chen found his consciousness appearing in an unfamiliar space.

This was his own sea of consciousness.

And above the sea of consciousness, Leugocyte had already materialized and was quietly suspended there.

It was vast, sacred, and majestic, carrying an extremely terrifying oppressive aura.

Even though Lu Chen knew this was his martial soul, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
