"Fallen ones..."

The mysterious man's voice was not loud, yet it exploded like a massive bomb in the hearts of everyone across the Douluo Continent!

That term overturned everything they knew about soul beasts!

So among soul beasts, there were also scum like evil soul masters, who took shortcuts by devouring living beings and toying with souls!

Everyone stared fixedly at the green-robed figure on the heavenly screen, their worldview being ruthlessly crushed and reshaped!

He merely looked down at Tang Potian, who was kneeling on the ground, his voice calm.

"Take it. You deserve it."

"Then stand up."

"As my servant, no one will ever be allowed to bully you again."

As his words fell, the mysterious man turned his gaze toward the distant Heaven Dou Imperial City!

"I already know of the injustice you suffered."

"Today, I will settle the score for you!"

Boom!

An invisible imperial majesty burst forth from him!

At that moment, he was no longer that leisurely, indolent mysterious powerhouse. He was a national preceptor whose words became law, one who held the power of life and death...

Heaven Dou Imperial City, within the imperial palace.

Xue Ye the Great was watching the live broadcast on the heavenly screen with a group of ministers, all of them trembling in fear.

Suddenly, an icy, majestic, utterly emotionless voice rang directly in everyone's minds like a divine decree!

"Convey my order."

"Within the imperial city, all nobles who participated in the plot against Tang Potian of the Clear Sky Sect, along with their three clans, shall all be... exterminated!"

"Leave none alive!"

"The National Preceptor... It's the National Preceptor's voice!" Xue Ye the Great shuddered, and the next moment, endless fanaticism and reverence surged onto his face!

Without the slightest hesitation, he sprang to his feet and respectfully bowed toward the void!

"I obey the National Preceptor's decree!"

In an instant, blood flowed like rivers throughout Heaven Dou Imperial City!

Dozens of once-arrogant noble estates were surrounded by the iron-blooded Royal Knights. Cries and pleas for mercy echoed through the sky, but all they received were cold butcher's blades!

Outside the heavenly screen, everyone was dumbfounded!

Holy shit!

With a single word, the imperial city was stained in blood!

What monstrous authority was this?!

Within the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao and the elders were so moved that tears streamed down their aged faces. They all knelt toward the heavenly screen and heavily kowtowed!

Their great vengeance had been avenged!

Within the heavenly screen.

Tang Potian was already weeping. Feeling the immense power radiating from the one-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year soul bone within him, and the exhilaration of his sect's vengeance being repaid, he deeply kowtowed to Lin Xuan once more.

"For the grace of remaking me, Tang Potian... could not repay it even with ten thousand deaths!"

"Get up."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and turned, taking a step into the void.

"Your path has only just begun."

"Come with me. I'll take you somewhere."

Tang Potian did not dare delay. He hurriedly rose and closely followed behind Lin Xuan.

As Lin Xuan took one step forward, the space before them rippled like water, forming a deep portal.

The two entered it, one after the other.

When Tang Potian opened his eyes again, he was utterly stunned.

He found himself in a... world of flames!

As far as the eye could see stretched boundless land burning with flames of every color!

Some flames were blazing white, radiating ultimate heat; some were deep blue, as if they could freeze one's soul; farther away were black, purple, and golden flames...

Every flame contained energy of the utmost purity!

At the center of this world of flames, towering palaces rose from the ground, while countless powerful auras ebbed and flowed within them!

"Where... is this?" Tang Potian's voice was dry. He felt as though his soul was trembling beneath the scorching flames.

"The Endless Fire Domain."

The mysterious man's voice sounded calmly.

"The place where my disciples and I usually cultivate."

Boom—!!!

The chat group exploded!

[Ning Fengzhi: The Endless Fire Domain?! What kind of place is that? I've never heard of it!] [Sword Douluo: What terrifying flame auras! Even through the heavenly screen alone, my Seven Kill Sword is wailing! The cultivation environment here is probably superior to any blessed land or hidden realm!] [Tang Hao: That previous Fire Domain already increased cultivation speed tenfold compared to the outside world... How heaven-defying must this 'Endless Fire Domain' be?!] [Yu Xiaogang: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! A cultivation secret realm of that level is already a heaven-defying treasure. Finding even one would be an enormous stroke of fortune—how could they possibly be mass-produced?! This does not conform to martial soul theory! It must be an illusion!]

The Grandmaster once again began analyzing things with his so-called "theories."

Yet the next scene on the heavenly screen was like a resounding slap, viciously striking him across the face!

As if he had heard Yu Xiaogang's thoughts, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"This place was initially established by using Strange Fire as its foundation and refining the souls of a million fallen soul beasts into fuel."

"Cultivating here is roughly... fifty times faster than in ordinary secret realms outside."

Silence!

Deathly silence!

Every soul master watching the heavenly screen across the Douluo Continent had their minds go blank!

Fifty times?!

Holy shit! Cultivating here for one day was worth nearly two months for someone else?!

How the hell were anyone else supposed to live?!

Even more terrifying was... refining the souls of a million fallen soul beasts?!

What earth-shattering handiwork! What terrifying slaughter!

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned the color of pig liver. His mouth hung open, but he could not utter a single word. He only felt that his worldview, his outlook on life, and his values were being completely ground into dust at that moment!

Tang Potian was even more thoroughly shaken. He stared blankly at the Endless Fire Domain, then suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply!

Because before a palace not far away, several figures stood quietly, seemingly waiting for Lin Xuan.

Behind every one of them floated nine soul rings!

They were all Title Douluos!

And not merely one or two!

There were five of them in total!

Lin Xuan led Tang Potian over at an unhurried pace and casually introduced them.

"Let me introduce you. From now on, they're all one of us."

"This is the War God Douluo." He pointed at a middle-aged man holding a golden spear and radiating endless fighting spirit.

"This is the Nine-Colored Douluo." He pointed toward an exquisite woman in a multicolored gown, so beautiful she seemed inhuman, with holy radiance surrounding her.

"And there's the Love God Douluo, Food God Douluo, and Speed Douluo."

With every introduction Lin Xuan made, Tang Potian's heart violently twitched!

War God?

Nine-Colored?

Love God? Food God?

What kind of absurd titles were these?!

Overbearing! Far too overbearing!

They actually dared use "God" in their titles!

Within the Papal Hall of Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the others looked at one another, their faces full of confusion.

[Chrysanthemum Douluo: War God Douluo? Nine-Colored Douluo? Have there ever been such titles on the continent? How come I've never heard of any of them?] [Ghost Douluo: Heh heh... Aren't they afraid that the true gods in the heavens will send down divine punishment for daring to include 'God' in their titles? How arrogant!]

Within the Offering Hall.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were equally bewildered. They had never heard those names before.

However, Qian Daoliu, who had been seated cross-legged in the seat of honor with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped open his eyes the instant he heard those titles—especially when he saw their faces!

His body began trembling violently beyond his control!

For the first time, his normally tranquil face revealed expressions called "shock" and "fear"!

He stared fixedly at the figures on the heavenly screen, his lips trembling as he murmured in a daze, in a voice only he could hear.

"No... that's not right... These titles..."

"These people's appearances..."

"How could they... how could they look exactly like the statues of those second-class gods from legends across the lands?!"
