Divine Authority Above All, Two Titled Douluo Close In

"Gods stood above all else."

"If you were a god, a single word from you would be enough to force an empire to change dynasties."

Ye Chen offered a well-meaning reminder.

In the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later, Tang San had descended directly to interfere with the continent's affairs.

Hadn't the powerful Sun Moon Empire also been renamed the Heaven Dou Empire?

And the Heaven Dou Emperor was even the child of Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi.

When gods stood above all else, so-called imperial conflicts no longer held any meaning.

Qian Renxue had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for years. Even if she successfully seized the throne, losing to Tang San would still leave her unable to change the outcome.

"Were gods really that powerful?"

In her eyes, becoming a god meant protecting all living beings, then ascending to the God Realm and gaining a long life.

Qian Renxue had never considered using Divine Authority to interfere with imperial power and reduce an empire to servants of the gods.

"The prerequisite is that you have to be strong enough!"

Ye Chen watched her quietly.

Divine Authority stood above imperial power, but only if one was the victor in the struggle for Divine Authority rather than the loser.

"I'll help you keep an eye out for Body Martial Soul awakeners. Once I find someone, how should I contact you?"

Qian Renxue unconsciously raised her hand and gently reached toward Ye Chen's forehead.

Seeing Qian Renxue's fingers approach, Ye Chen's lips curved into a faint smile.

It seemed Qian Renxue had taken his words to heart and was now preparing to verify whether he was an inheritor of a god.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Chen accurately caught Qian Renxue's hand.

The instant her fingertips touched his forehead, a silver geometric pattern flashed and vanished.

That aura belonging solely to divine power made Qian Renxue's hand freeze in midair, where Ye Chen caught it.

"Sorry, I thought your hair was a little messy."

Qian Renxue hurriedly smoothed Ye Chen's hair.

She did not know why she had suddenly reached for Ye Chen's forehead, but she was very satisfied with the result.

The aura she had only ever sensed in the Angel Temple had already made the other party's identity clear.

The reclusive Body Sect was a force with a god's inheritor and many powerful experts.

"Although this young sect master is very handsome, Your Highness the Crown Prince should restrain yourself."

Ye Chen said it half-jokingly.

In terms of looks alone, he could crush Tang San so thoroughly that even his own mother would not recognize him.

After meeting Tang Hao, he and Du Busi had specifically made a trip to Holy Soul Village, but unfortunately, the Blue Silver Emperor and the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had both been taken away.

"I didn't do it on purpose..."

Qian Renxue found herself unable to explain.

She could hardly tell Ye Chen outright that she had been checking whether he possessed a Divine Examination Mark.

"Alright, we should head out. Otherwise, some people will start getting anxious."

Ye Chen slowly rose to his feet.

He would have someone from the Body Sect come coordinate with Qian Renxue. When the time came, they only needed to guide the recruits into the Body Sect.

As for whether spies might slip in?

That was unavoidable. What sect did not have spies planted by other factions?

Thus, the Body Sect's internal resources would still be prioritized for its original members.

"Little Chen, how did your discussion go?"

Golden Body Douluo saw the two emerge one after the other and asked.

He likewise knew that the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was actually Spirit Hall's young mistress, Qian Renxue.

After all, the history from ten thousand years ago was no secret even in the era of The Unrivaled Tang Clan.

"Old Jin, our conversation went fairly well. Later, just send any Soul Douluo from the sect to coordinate with Brother Xue."

Ye Chen had originally wanted to send a Titled Douluo.

However, that might expose Qian Renxue, so he lowered it to the Soul Douluo level.

Although the Body Sect had quite a few Soul Douluo, they were top-tier combatants in the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Brother Ye, happy cooperation."

"Once I return, I'll immediately begin handling your matter."

Qian Renxue controlled resources from both sides, so finding Body Martial Soul awakeners would be effortless.

She could have the Heaven Dou Empire search on one side and Spirit Hall search on the other, then send the people to the Body Sect.

Even if Spirit Hall's actions were discovered, she could claim that the Body Sect and Spirit Hall were cooperating and that it had nothing to do with Xue Qinghe.

"Good. I'll await your news."

"Sister Lingling, come back to the Body Sect with me!"

Ye Chen was preparing to return to the sect to cultivate.

When he turned twelve, he would come back out to attend an advanced Soul Master Academy and crush the geniuses of Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall.

At the same time, he would spread the Body Sect's name and let the entire Douluo Continent know of its strength.

"Ye Chen, I want to stay in Heaven Dou City and study."

Ye Lingling refused.

She had just turned twelve, and entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the best time for training.

"Alright. Later, coordinate with the Body Sect's Soul Douluo. If anything happens, you can go to him. I'll leave you in Poison Douluo's care for the time being."

Ye Chen did not force her.

Ye Lingling was a healing Soul Master. Perhaps cultivating at Heaven Dou Royal Academy would suit her better than the Body Sect.

The Body Sect was full of battle maniacs. They were either fighting or on the way to a fight.

"Young Sect Master, even if you hadn't said so, this old man would have taken good care of the girl."

Dugu Bo had already taken great care of Ye Lingling.

He had always treated Ye Lingling as his second granddaughter. How could he let anyone else bully her?

"Everyone, until we meet again!"

Ye Chen waved.

Golden Body Douluo was a man of few words and merely followed silently at Ye Chen's side.

The two left Heaven Dou City and only slowly stopped after entering the outskirts.

"You two have followed us all this way. Are you still not planning to come out?"

Ye Chen looked behind him.

They had already noticed someone following them when they left Heaven Dou City.

Yet the other party had followed them the entire way without showing themselves. They were probably trying to locate the Body Sect's address.

"So we still couldn't hide it."

"You're just a little brat, yet you could actually discover this old man. That's quite surprising."

The newcomer was at least eighty years old and stood over two meters tall. His lanky body was as straight and sharp as a spear.

Beside him stood another Titled Douluo, whose body emitted dense poisonous fumes.

These two had Soul Power comparable to Dugu Bo's, at most around Rank 92.

They should be the two Titled Douluo at Qian Renxue's side. To think she had sent both of them out this time.

"Old Jin, don't kill them."

Ye Chen silently retreated to one side.

Unless they encountered a Worship Hall priest or Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there was no need to worry about Old Jin.

Chen Xin had now broken through to Rank 96 and was a Super Douluo of the same level as Old Jin.

Which of the two was stronger was genuinely hard to say.

Only after they truly fought would anyone know whose strength was superior.

However, Ye Chen leaned more toward Old Jin.

Old Jin's configuration was clearly stronger than Chen Xin's, and he also possessed the Body Second Awakening Secret Technique.

"She Long, make your move."

Pufferfish Douluo's body swelled as if being inflated.

His skin changed from its normal color to dark red, its surface covered by a slick sheen.

Immediately afterward, densely packed purple spikes burst from his body and covered him from head to toe.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, slowly revolving around that round, dark-red body.

"Here I come."

Snake Lance Douluo raised his hand, and a long spear slowly emerged from the void.

The spear was dark green from end to end, roughly twelve feet long, with a two-foot spearhead. Both sides were bladed, their edges so thin they were nearly transparent, like a forked snake's tongue.

The spear felt alive, like a snake coiled in the shadows, ready to spring up and bite at any moment.

She Long gripped the spear in one hand, its tip angled toward the ground. The same nine-ring configuration as Pufferfish Douluo's slowly rose beneath his feet, and a great battle was on the verge of erupting!
