Final Battle at Jialing Pass

"Capture the ringleader first. Take down Xue Beng!"

At Bibi Dong's command, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo—the four great Titled Douluo—immediately rose into the air and flew toward Xue Beng, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, unleashing their respective soul skills against him.

"Chrysanthemum Withers, Wounds Cover the Ground, Flowers Fall and Hearts Break!"

"Hell Phantoms!"

"Flaming Meteor Fall!"

"Netherworld Cold Light!"

Chrysanthemums drifted on the wind, darkness followed like a shadow, blazing flames burned like the sun, and cold light pierced to the bone. Four utterly different forms of pressure weighed heavily upon the hearts of the Heaven Dou Empire's soldiers, leaving them breathless.

Tang Wulin, Xiao Wu, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo immediately took to the sky as well, each using their soul skills to counter the attacks. They faced Spirit Hall's four elders on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire and protected Crown Prince Xue Beng.

"Golden Dragon Prison-Suppressing Strike!"

"Moon of the Nine Heavens!"

"Seven Kills Thunder Rise, One Sword Shatters the Sky!"

"Bone Dragon Emerges from the Sea, Soars Through the Heavens, Roams Unfettered, Rises Through Three Heights, Wind Follows Its Path. Bones Become a Divine Dragon!"

Beneath the glow of an enchanting, bewitching full moon, the golden dragon and bone dragon surged forward alongside razor-sharp sword qi that tore through the air. They smashed through the foulest darkness and restraints without hesitation, ripping apart and piercing their enemies' attacks.

Seeing that the situation seemed unfavorable, Bibi Dong immediately turned her gaze toward Qian Daoliu and demanded with a frown, "Why aren't you sending your men in as well?"

After pondering for a moment, Qian Daoliu waved his hand, signaling Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Lion Douluo—the three great worshippers—to enter the battle together.

At the same time, Bibi Dong had the leaders of the seven great sects affiliated with Spirit Hall join the fray as well, supporting Spirit Hall's seven Titled Douluo.

Facing the fourteen Spirit Hall fighters advancing together nearby, their combined presence crushing the battlefield, Tang Wulin showed no trace of panic. The Golden Dragon Spear in his hand shone with dazzling radiance as he swung and spun it.

"Seal the Cosmos, Dragon Emperor Radiance!"

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color. Light filled the sky, and the universe fell silent. The sun, moon, and stars seemed to stop turning, while even the air appeared to freeze. The entire plane was instantly sealed, leaving all fourteen Spirit Hall fighters unable to move even an inch.

They could only watch helplessly as Xiao Wu unleashed Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, triggering a massive explosion around herself.

Taking the form of a blue lotus and karmic fire as its soul, Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus blossomed with all-illuminating Buddhist light. Carrying the might to burn away the eight wildernesses, it instantly transformed the battlefield into a boundless sea of raging flames.

With a single thought, the heavens burned; lotus splendor illuminated the world!

In mere moments, Spirit Hall's fourteen combatants were swallowed by molten lava, leaving not even bones behind. The Spirit Hall soldiers on the front lines were swept up as well, becoming fuel for the inferno and vanishing into ash in an instant.

With Spirit Hall's main force defeated, the Heaven Dou Empire's soldiers were greatly invigorated. Before long, they had beaten Spirit Hall's army into a total rout.

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were ultimately surrounded and captured by Tang San, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, Xiao Wu, and the other representatives fighting for the Heaven Dou Empire. Spirit Hall's cause was lost, and it was destroyed from that day onward.

Qian Daoliu tightly embraced the rushing Qian Renxue and asked with concern, "Xue'er, are you hurt? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Qian Renxue shook her head. "I'm fine. They treated me well. Grandfather, come with us too."

Qian Daoliu looked puzzled. "Where are we going?"

"You'll know once we get there."

Qian Renxue took Qian Daoliu's hand and followed Huo Yuhao away with him.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong brought Yu Xiaogang and Yu Dongyu with her as they willingly made their way to where Huo Yuhao was.

It was a sea of flowers, blooming in every color. The air was thick with rich, fragrant floral scents, making it feel as though they had entered a paradise on earth.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Bai Chenxiang, who had received Huo Yuhao's invitation, had also arrived.

At that moment, Tang San and Tang Wulin stood beside Huo Yuhao, quietly discussing something with one another.

"Wulin, can you understand me now?"

In response to Tang San's soft question, Tang Wulin merely shook his head. His gaze was fixed on Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao forcibly stripped Bibi Dong's red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring from her body and collected the soul of Xiao Wu's mother contained within it.

Then, Huo Yuhao absorbed Xiao Wu's mother's soul, Bibi Dong's soul, the souls of Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu, the souls of Yu Xiaogang and Yu Dongyu, the souls of Hu Liena and Xie Yue, and Bai Chenxiang's soul into his Hades Domain.

Greater God Realm.

Using the immortal spiritual qi of the Divine Realm, Huo Yuhao nourished the souls within the Hades Domain and successfully revived Xiao Wu's mother, Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Bibi Dong, Bai Chenxiang, Qian Daoliu, Yu Xiaogang, Yu Dongyu, Xie Yue, and Lou Gao.

"Xiangxiang!"

Ma Hongjun, who had spent every day and sleepless night in the Divine Realm longing for her, was overwhelmed with excitement upon seeing his beloved at last. He rushed forward and tightly embraced Bai Chenxiang.

"Mom!"

"Xiao Wu!"

The moment Xiao Wu saw her mother, she ran toward her and wrapped her in a tight embrace as well.

Qian Daoliu silently watched Tang Chen and Bo Saixi gazing at each other with mutual affection, smiling as he wished them a long and lasting life together.

Qian Renxue held Qian Daoliu's hand as they thanked Huo Yuhao together. "Thank you, Teacher."

Hu Liena and Xie Yue stepped forward as well to express their gratitude to Huo Yuhao. "Thank you, Master."

Bibi Dong also came before Huo Yuhao with Yu Xiaogang and Yu Dongyu. "Thank you, Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao waved a hand. "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Tang San and Wulin. Without the suggestion the two of them made, I wouldn't have had the chance to help you change your fates."

After settling everyone in, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin returned to their room. Tang San followed them inside with a helpless expression.

"Wulin, what do I have to do for you to understand me?"

Tang Wulin replied, "I can't understand Shrek's way of doing things, much less why you hate Brother Yuhao so much. Only when you can understand Brother Yuhao will I truly understand you."

Veins faintly bulged on Tang San's forehead. "How am I supposed to understand him? He simply didn't want to marry my daughter, yet he had the audacity to run off with my son. You want me to understand him?"

Tang Wulin shook his head. "Brother Yuhao didn't run off with me. I went willingly, so you can't blame him for that. As for why Brother Yuhao doesn't want to marry my sister, it's because he's afraid of you..."

He did not continue, because he wanted to leave his father some dignity.

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly. "I like freedom. I don't want to be bound by you. If your father-in-law had watched and restrained you when you were pursuing Xiao Wu, perhaps then you would understand me."

Tang Wulin suggested, "Why not experience what Brother Yuhao went through for yourself, Dad? Maybe then you'll be able to understand Brother Yuhao. And then I'll be able to understand you too."

Tang San tilted his head. "You want me to pursue Xiao Wu all over again?"

Tang Wulin chuckled. "This time will be different."

Huo Yuhao raised a brow and smiled. "If you can truly put yourself in my shoes and understand me, Wulin won't hate you anymore."

Tang San finally nodded and accepted Tang Wulin's suggestion. "Wulin, I won't let you down."

Tang Wulin's eyes were full of anticipation. "Go, Dad."

The Douluo World restarted, opening a new chapter!
