[The Black Mountain Empire has an elite soul master legion named the Black Mountain Legion, numbering around ten thousand. The weakest among them are four-ring Soul Elders, and the strongest are nine Titled Douluos.] [Those nine Titled Douluos are no ordinary Titled Douluos.] [Without exception, every single one of them is a Peak Douluo whose soul power level has reached ninety-five!] [The Black Mountain Legion is stationed on the grasslands.] [They are preparing to attack the Sun Moon Kingdom, which has just taken over the Heavenly Gold Kingdom and the Kindwater Kingdom, on the following day.] [Upon learning of this, Xu Que, the ruler of the Sun Moon Kingdom, calmly dispatched Lü Bu and his men to resolve the situation.] [Taking the order, Lü Bu headed to the grasslands, ready to deal with the Black Mountain Legion.] [To successfully handle the Black Mountain Legion, Lü Bu brought a few people with him.] [The people Lü Bu brought were not many.] [Merely the number of two hands.] [You heard that right, Lü Bu brought only ten people to deal with the Black Mountain Legion, which boasted over ten thousand soldiers.] [The final result?] [Lü Bu won!] [Arriving at the grasslands without hesitation, Lü Bu took the lead, launching a surprise attack and charging into the Black Mountain Legion.] [Faced with the sudden appearance of Lü Bu, the Black Mountain Legion was caught completely off guard. In that battle, nearly a thousand of them were killed, while Lü Bu's side suffered zero casualties.] [The next day at dawn, Lü Bu led his men into battle once more.] [When Lü Bu struck the first time, the men of the Black Mountain Legion never expected it.] [When Lü Bu struck the second time, the men of the Black Mountain Legion still didn't expect it.] [Are you kidding? A dozen or so people charging against ten thousand was already earth-shattering enough. Who in their right mind would expect them to dare a second charge?] [In the first charge, Lü Bu won!] [In the second charge, Lü Bu won again.] [As the old saying goes, once and twice means there will be a third.] [For Lü Bu's third charge, the men of the Black Mountain Legion did expect it and made battle preparations in advance.] [Yet in the end, Lü Bu still won. Relying on his two top-tier martial souls, Lü Bu charged into the Black Mountain Legion like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and no one could stop him.] [The nine Peak Douluos attacked together?] [They still could not match Lü Bu in his demonized state.] [Instead, the nine of them were chased and hunted down by Lü Bu!] [Following that, the Black Mountain Legion retreated. They gave up on attacking the Sun Moon Kingdom, unwilling to face the terrifying existence that was Lü Bu. They branded Lü Bu a devil, and afterwards, Lü Bu was bestowed the titles of Heaven-Devil General and Heaven-Devil Douluo.] [Lü Bu did not choose to let the fleeing Black Mountain Legion go.] [Lü Bu chose to press the attack and pursue the victory!] [Of the ten thousand troops the Black Mountain Legion deployed abroad, only a dozen or so battered survivors returned to their country.] [The introduction for the fifth-ranked Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, Heaven-Devil General Lü Bu of the Sun Moon Empire, is complete!] [Related fortuitous encounter is being distributed.] [Fortuitous encounter successfully distributed.] [Name of Lü Bu's acquired fortuitous encounter: Heaven-Devil Set!] [Description of Lü Bu's acquired fortuitous encounter: The Heaven-Devil Set is neither Battle Armor nor regular armor, but rather soul bones. There are a total of seven soul bones: the head soul bone, the four limb soul bones, the spine soul bone, and an External Soul Bone. Regardless of the body part or age, every single soul bone has reached ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years! Once he absorbs them all and cultivates to become a god, the age of these soul bones will automatically increase by one year and form a defensive divine artifact.]
On Douluo Continent, at Sea God Island, which was soon to be renamed Sun Moon Island.
Lü Bu stood beneath the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar of Sea God Island, his towering frame imposing.
At that moment, Lü Bu was looking at the golden light screen in the sky.
After seeing the contents of the golden light screen and learning what opportunity he was about to receive, Lü Bu smiled, the corners of his lips curling into a subtle arc.
His smile was clearly filled with satisfaction.
With his arms folded across his chest, Lü Bu spoke in satisfaction.
"Heaven-Devil Set?"
"A defensive divine artifact?"
"Not bad, not bad!"
"With the Heaven-Devil Set empowering me, when I wage war against the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire on Douluo Continent in the future, I will be able to charge into battle even more effectively!"
As soon as he finished speaking, anticipation joined Lü Bu's satisfied smile.
The instant Lü Bu's voice fell, a dazzling crimson meteor shot violently out of the golden light screen in the sky. Deafening sonic booms rang out continuously wherever it passed.
Before long, the crimson meteor arrived before Lü Bu.
Whoosh!
A piercing sound tore through the air.
The crimson meteor entered Lü Bu's body.
Soul bones also appeared within Lü Bu's body.
Heaven-Devil Skull.
Heaven-Devil Limb Bones.
Heaven-Devil Spine Bone.
Heaven-Devil External Soul Bone!
"Open!"
With a thought from Lü Bu, a pair of enormous, ink-black wings appeared behind him.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, in Spirit City, on Spirit Mountain, within the Angel Sanctuary.
The creak of a door opening reached the ears of Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu.
"Alas."
Upon hearing the door open, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and let it out heavily.
Even without turning around, with his back to the visitor, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu knew who had come.
His only descendant.
His granddaughter Qian Renxue, who had just returned from the Heaven Dou Empire.
Tap, tap, tap!
Orderly footsteps rang out.
Qian Renxue entered the Angel Sanctuary and drew closer and closer to Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, who stood beneath the enormous golden angel statue.
When she was ten meters away from Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue stopped.
Standing where she was and gazing at that long-unseen figure who felt both familiar and unfamiliar, Qian Renxue spoke in greeting. "Grandfather."
After Qian Renxue greeted him, Qian Daoliu turned around and met her gaze.
Forcing a smile onto his face, Qian Daoliu spoke to Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er, you're back? The journey must have been tiring. Are you exhausted? If you are, go get some rest first."
Qian Daoliu knew why Qian Renxue had come to see him.
It was nothing more than asking about what had happened back then.
Asking why Bibi Dong had killed Qian Xunji.
Asking why he had not told her the truth.
Qian Daoliu did not want to speak of any of those matters now, so he urged Qian Renxue to leave.
Qian Renxue understood what Qian Daoliu meant. Expressionless, she said coldly, "Grandfather, you know me. I am extremely stubborn. Once I decide on something, not even ten oxen can drag me back. So tell me why Bibi Dong killed my father, and why you did not tell me the truth. If you refuse to tell me today, I will go ask Bibi Dong myself. I will ask her to her face!"
As soon as Qian Renxue finished speaking, a voice that carried authority without anger rang out.
[Fourth place on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, the Sun Moon Empire's Divine Brave General...]
