Gu Rong Went on a Killing Spree, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud Was in Hand
A dark and windy night!
On the towering, imposing city wall, a figure draped in Black Robe rappelled down rapidly, pulling on a descending rope.
Its height of several hundred meters is enough to deter many powerful individuals.
However, their Clear Sky Sect is secluded and closed off from the world; to enter the sect, one must learn to climb a steep mountain wall.
The mountain wall was almost perpendicular to the ground and extremely smooth, with no vegetation present; it was a rocky mountain!
To climb this stone mountain, the Clear Sky Sect carved a recess every ten meters on the smooth, mirror-like mountain wall.
In this way, they can leverage their strengths to their advantage.
The walls of Heaven Dou City are in the same condition!
They secretly sent people to carve out a recessed area every ten meters on the towering city wall.
During the day, one can openly and legitimately enter Heaven Dou City through the City Gates.
At night, they would first use ropes to rappel down to the upper middle section of the city wall, and then use the dips in the wall to climb down to the ground.
In this way, the walls of Heaven Dou City are practically useless to their Clear Sky Sect!
"If it weren't for their sects going into seclusion, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan be qualified to stand alongside us?"
The Clear Sky Sect disciple yanked the rope and then jumped, landing in a depression on the surface of the city wall.
The soldiers on the city wall who were waiting to receive the taxi quickly retrieved the rope.
Just as the Clear Sky Sect disciples were preparing to continue their descent, an old, hoarse voice echoed in their ears.
"You don't know until you kill them, and once you do, you're shocked!"
"So many people in Heaven Dou City are tipping off others every night."
"Those who dig tunnels, crawl through dog holes, and perform aerial acrobatics..."
"You're quite clever; you dug a depression in the surface of the city wall, first rappelling down, then using the momentum to climb up."
"What a pity..."
A ripple suddenly appeared in the surrounding space.
An elderly man with a withered face and a robust frame stood expressionlessly in the ripples of space.
"You scoundrels, watch me crush you..."
The moment Tang Long heard the hoarse voice, his hair stood on end, and he instinctively turned around and threw a full-force punch.
However, his fist landed in mid-air and couldn't move.
When he finally managed to make out the figure in the dim moonlight, Tang Long was so frightened that he shuddered.
"Bone... Senior Bone!"
Oh, you know me?
"Senior Bone, the Upper Three Sects are of the same lineage. I am Tang Long, the third-generation chief disciple of the Clear Sky Sect!"
Tang Long dared not hide anything and spoke respectfully.
"The top disciple of the Clear Sky Sect in the third generation? A third-generation disciple, and the top one at that, with Soul King Cultivation, a genius of the sect?"
How dare you call yourself the top disciple in front of me? You clearly don't take me, Bone Douluo, seriously!
The instinct to stifle a prodigy immediately stirred.
In truth, Gu Rong was not inherently bloodthirsty, but his personality was eccentric and unpredictable, and his thinking was more extreme than Chen Xin's.
Gu Rong would try to eliminate any potential threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in advance.
Therefore, when Tang Long revealed his identity as the third-generation chief disciple, Gu Rong considered him a dead man.
"Since the Upper Three Sects are of the same lineage, I will not say anything more."
"I'll see you off today, but be careful in your next life!"
With a casual palm strike, Gu Rong's Vastness level 95 Soul Power shattered Tang Long's meridians, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices.
The outstretched hand suddenly flipped, and Tang Long's body was thrown high into the air before finally falling freely and crashing heavily to the ground.
Blood and gore, completely disfigured.
With a flick of its large, woody hand, Gu Rong grasped a letter.
"The Clear Sky Sect has gone into seclusion and closed its doors to the world, hehe..."
Gu Rong tore open the letter, read it carefully, and couldn't help but sneer before disappearing again.
With the Bone Dragon Martial Soul's unpredictable appearances and disappearances, tonight is destined to be a bloody night.
Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
After leaving a letter in the Mansion, Xu Yuan and Xiao Wu launched a surprise attack on the Heaven Dou Treasury.
"Xu Yuan, the Heaven Dou Treasury is located underground. If we get trapped inside, we won't be able to get out!"
Standing outside the walls of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Xiao Wu offered a reminder.
"Xiao Wu, you're underestimating me too much."
Xu Yuan pulled Xiao Wu's arm and channeled the Yuan-Wu Power to its fullest extent.
I say, Knowledge and Perception Obstruction only obscure one's true nature.
To others, my entire being must be unknowable, invisible, inaudible, imperceptible, and indistinguishable!
As his thoughts shifted, a transparent curtain seemed to fall around Xu Yuan and Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head warily.
Although they didn't know that Xu Yuan had used the ability to Word Manifestation, the surrounding moonlight seemed to have changed.
Xu Yuan took Xiao Wu's hand and said softly, "Be quiet and come with me!"
Xu Yuan then embraced Xiao Wu's slender waist, activated his Right Leg Soul Bone skill to Flight, and took a step into the air.
The two bypassed the palace walls and, following the route taken during the day, made their way to the entrance of the Heaven Dou Treasury.
The one guarding the stone gate was a Soul Saint- level expert, and many fully armed patrol soldiers were stationed around it.
Xiao Wu tugged at Xu Yuan's hand, seemingly trying to remind him.
But Xu Yuan was completely unaware and strode over.
To Xiao Wu's astonishment, Xu Yuan brazenly opened several stone doors and entered the Heaven Dou Treasury.
The moment Xiao Wu stepped into the Heaven Dou Treasury, she seemed to be still in a daze, as delicate and stiff as a puppet.
Until the heavy stone doors in front of the treasure vault completely fell down.
Xu Yuan took a Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng from the medicine shelf and put it into her mouth, which snapped Xiao Wu out of her daze.
"Xu Yuan, what ability did you just use? It was terrifying!"
"Those people acted like they didn't even see us!"
Xiao Wu was so excited that she danced around, frantically using body language to describe the incredible scene that had just unfolded.
"Knowledge and Perception Obstruction —those who fall victim to this will experience a cognitive impairment at the mental level!"
"Even if the two of us stood right in front of them, they wouldn't notice!"
Xu Yuan walked to the front of the Submerged Dragon Boat, casually shattered the crystal shield with a single strike, and stored it in the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moonlit Night.
The most useful aspect of the rudimentary cultivation system in the Douluo Continent!
That is, it doesn't have those bizarre and outlandish restrictions that resemble real-time alarms found in other fantasy novels.
Even the defenses outside the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Treasury are so simple and unadorned!
Although Seven-Ring Soul Sage was stationed there, their effect was really minimal.
We mainly rely on the soldiers patrolling outside.
After all, it was the imperial palace; any disturbance would immediately attract the forceful suppression of the garrisoned troops.
"But that's a Soul Saint, on par with you!"
Although Xu Yuan spoke lightly, Xiao Wu was still in turmoil.
Xu Yuan, a mere Quasi-Soul Saint, could treat a true Seven-Ring Soul Sage like a roadside figure, toying with him at will.
When someone advances to the Titled Douluo in the future, won't all other Titled Expert of the same rank be unable to avoid the effects of this Soul Skill?
"So what if I'm Soul Saint? My spiritual power far surpasses that of others of the same level; Soul Saint's spiritual power is simply no match for mine."
"Furthermore, the environment of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace is too comfortable. He is unguarded, and the Knowledge and Perception Obstruction is extremely well hidden. If he is not careful, he can easily be influenced."
"Finally, there's the issue with that Soul Saint himself. He may have suffered a mental attack in the past, which has resulted in his mental strength being only equivalent to that of a newly initiated Soul Emperor."
As Xu Yuan explained the reason to Xiao Wu, he walked to the deepest part of the treasure vault.
"But your movements are far too practiced!"
"Moreover, this ability is too evil. If someone with a lower Soul Power Level than you falls victim to this attack, wouldn't they be completely at your mercy!"
Xiao Wu simply couldn't imagine Xu Yuan using this move after being promoted to a higher title.
"The Heaven Dou Treasure that Protects the Nation, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!"
Xu Yuan walked up to the high platform, lifted the red cloth, and raised the triangular ancient Soul Tool with flowing blue water ripples.
Through his hard work and his own hands, he finally obtained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!
Because it contained the divine will of the Sea God, Xu Yuan did not recognize it as his master, but instead stored it in his Soul Tool.
