An elder sighed. "The Pope is already this powerful, and there is still Qian Daoliu in the Hall of Consecrates."
"Spirit Hall's foundation is truly terrifying."
Thinking of the enmity between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall, everyone felt even heavier-hearted.
The stronger Spirit Hall became, the slimmer the Clear Sky Sect's hope of reemerging.
Seventh Elder looked toward the depths of the sect.
"If only Patriarch Tang Chen were still alive."
"As long as the Patriarch returned, Spirit Hall would never dare humiliate our Clear Sky Sect like this."
Tang Xiao did not answer.
Tang Chen had left the sect many years ago, and his whereabouts remained unknown.
It would be truly tragic if the Clear Sky Sect placed all its hopes on someone whose fate was unknown.
But faced with the current Spirit Hall, did they have any other choice?
Heaven Dou Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye sat back on his throne, his expression even graver than before.
The empire's high-ranking ministers below exchanged looks.
Just moments ago, they had looked down on Bibi Dong because she had ranked only tenth.
Now, that contempt seemed utterly laughable.
Prince Xue Xing raised his head toward the Heavenly Screen.
"A level ninety-eight Twin Martial Souls user."
"Even if Qian Daoliu personally acted, he might not be able to take her down easily, right?"
A royal consecrated shook his head.
"There is an enormous gap between Peerless Douluo and Super Douluo."
"However, Bibi Dong possesses two top-tier Martial Souls. Even if she cannot defeat a level ninety-nine expert, she can still hold out for a long time."
Emperor Xue Ye slowly closed his eyes.
A Spirit Hall Pope who stood close to the level of a Peerless Douluo was certainly not good news for the Heaven Dou Empire.
More frighteningly, Bibi Dong was still very young.
She still had room to continue growing stronger.
"Spirit Hall has hidden itself too deeply."
"Watered-Down Pope?"
"She is clearly powerful beyond measure."
No one in the grand hall refuted him.
Star Luo Palace.
The Xing Luo Emperor looked at the empire map before him, lightly tapping his fingers against the table.
Spirit Hall had established numerous branch halls throughout the Star Luo Empire.
If the two sides went to war, those branch halls could become blades driven into the heart of the empire at any moment.
Now that Bibi Dong's true strength had been revealed, many of the empire's original plans had to be scrapped and redrawn.
A minister said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, perhaps we could send someone to contact the Heaven Dou Empire."
"If Spirit Hall continues to grow, it will benefit neither of the two great empires."
The Xing Luo Emperor did not agree immediately.
Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire had fought for many years.
The hatred between the two nations could not be resolved with a few words.
But before their common enemy, Spirit Hall, an alliance had indeed become an option worth considering.
"Send someone to test Xue Ye's attitude first."
"This matter must not be leaked."
The ministers bowed and accepted the order.
The image on the Heavenly Screen changed again.
A dim city appeared before everyone's eyes.
No sunlight shone above the city.
Bones were piled along both sides of the streets. Fallen ones in black slaughtered one another, while blood flowed through the cracks in the stone.
Quite a few soul masters turned pale at the sight.
Golden words descended from above the image.
[Bibi Dong, one of the ten great Killing Gods of Slaughter City.] [She once achieved one hundred victories in Slaughter City.] [She passed through Hell Road and obtained the Killing God Domain.]
"Slaughter City?"
"What kind of place is that?"
"There is actually a city like this on the continent?"
Countless ordinary soul masters wore confused expressions.
They had never heard of Slaughter City, much less knew what a Killing God represented.
Yet the experts who truly understood Slaughter City changed expression at that moment.
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Chen Xin stared at the gloomy city in the image, his brows tightly furrowed.
Ning Fengzhi asked, "Uncle Sword, is Slaughter City terrifying?"
Chen Xin nodded.
"It is a paradise for the fallen."
"After entering Slaughter City, soul masters cannot use soul skills. They can only fight using their combat instincts and their Martial Souls themselves."
"Every victory must be earned by stepping over an opponent's corpse."
Gu Rong's expression darkened.
"One hundred victories without being able to use soul skills?"
"Bibi Dong actually had such an experience."
Chen Xin continued, "One hundred victories are not the end."
"The truly dangerous part is Hell Road."
"Only those who walk out of Hell Road alive are qualified to obtain the Killing God Domain."
"There are very few people on the continent who possess the Killing God Domain. Every one of them is an expert who has truly emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood."
Ning Fengzhi looked back at the Heavenly Screen.
"No wonder she can suppress Spirit Hall's many Titled Douluo."
"With this experience alone, no one would dare underestimate her."
The barrage across the sky appeared once more.
[Sword Douluo Chen Xin: The Killing God Domain greatly enhances a soul master's combat strength. Bibi Dong's ability to pass through Hell Road is enough to prove her strength.] [Bone Douluo Gu Rong: One hundred battles of slaughter are certainly not something an ordinary person can accomplish.] [Sea Horse Douluo: Slaughter City has neither rules nor mercy. Those who can earn the title of Killing God are indeed terrifying.] [Clear Sky Sect Tang Xiao: Bibi Dong is both the youngest Titled Douluo and one of the youngest Super Douluo. Now it seems that her real combat ability is equally astonishing.] [Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Tenth on the Supreme Ranking is well deserved!]
More and more soul masters changed their attitudes.
No one mentioned "Watered-Down Pope" anymore.
Level ninety-eight soul power.
Twin top-tier Martial Souls.
One of the ten great Killing Gods of Slaughter City.
Any one of those achievements would have been enough to make a soul master famous throughout the continent.
Yet Bibi Dong possessed all of them.
Shrek Academy.
Xiao Wu looked at the two Spider Emperors on the Heavenly Screen, her face turning slightly pale.
The scene from that day resurfaced in her mind.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Her mother lay on the ground.
Bibi Dong stood some distance away, the Spider Emperor Martial Soul behind her radiating suffocating pressure.
Xiao Wu had originally believed that as long as she cultivated diligently, she would one day be able to avenge her mother.
But now, she finally understood just how powerful Bibi Dong truly was.
Level ninety-eight.
Twin top-tier Martial Souls.
Killing God Domain.
Did she truly have a chance to take revenge?
Tang San noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Wu and asked with concern, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
Everyone looked over.
Xiao Wu suppressed the pain in her heart and forced a smile.
"I'm fine."
She had a slender figure, with long black hair falling to her waist and a fair face carrying a hint of pallor.
Her long legs were pressed together, while her red-and-white dress swayed gently in the wind, leaving her as delicate and lively as ever.
Tang San did not press her further.
He stepped to Xiao Wu's side and said seriously, "Bibi Dong is indeed very strong."
"But we are all among the continent's finest geniuses."
"As long as we cultivate diligently, we may not necessarily be inferior to her in the future."
The training ground fell silent.
Dai Mubai glanced at Tang San but said nothing.
Ma Hongjun swallowed the words of agreement that had reached his lips as well.
They were usually all very proud.
But no matter how proud they were, they did not dare claim that they would certainly reach level ninety-eight in the future.
Not to mention that Bibi Dong possessed Twin top-tier Martial Souls.
Oscar scratched his head.
"Third Brother, you really are confident in yourself."
Tang San replied calmly, "A soul master's future should not be judged only by the present."
"I believe we can reach even greater heights."
