Huang Tieyi took a hot shower in his room, which swept away all his fatigue. He was immediately overcome with sleepiness and fell asleep on the bed in his underwear. He didn't even attend the welcome dinner prepared by Yang Fanglin.
In the middle of the night, Huang Tieyi woke up because he was starving. He saw pastries and juice on the table, picked them up and wolfed them down. He couldn't taste anything at all; the pastries were dry and the juice was very sweet.
After Huang Tieyi finished eating, he took out new, clean clothes from his Space Ring, put them on, and walked out of the room to the artificial lake. Once again, he felt a tremor in his heart, and that ominous premonition reappeared.
Huang Tieyi couldn't understand where this feeling of excitement came from, but he felt that leaving the artificial lake now was the right thing to do.
Just as he turned to leave, having taken only one step, he heard an aged voice beside him, "You've come, you've finally come..."
Huang Tieyi ran forward a few steps in great fear before turning around to look at the artificial lake.
At this moment, a hunched old man floated on the artificial lake. His eyes were cloudy, and he calmly looked at Huang Tieyi, muttering to himself, "When the Red Moon hangs high in the sky, when the divine descends, the sealed demon king will break free of his shackles and descend to the mortal world..."
The old man suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Today the Red Moon hangs high in the sky..." He then pointed to Huang Tieyi and said, "Today a divine being has descended..."
"Today is the day I break free from my seal. I will make the entire Douluo Continent tremble beneath my feet..." His voice resounded through the night and echoed throughout the entire Heaven Dou City.
Bibi Dong and the others were the first to be woken up and rushed over from their rooms. Yang Fanglin arrived with his men next.
They all clearly saw the Red Moon's light, like a pillar, shine into the artificial lake. Dozens of carp in the lake leaped out of the water in terror, trying to escape. The earth began to tremble, and black smoke rose from the ground. The water in the artificial lake quickly disappeared. After the water disappeared, everyone could clearly see that a crack had appeared at the bottom of the lake. A pair of large hands parted the ground, and a hunched old man emerged from it.
At the same time, the old man who had been floating on the artificial lake disappeared. "I am Mo Daolin. Ten thousand years have passed. You probably don't know my name, do you?" Mo Daolin, the little old man, spoke with a tone full of vicissitudes and nostalgia.
"Mo Daolin, the leader of the demonic path ten thousand years ago, was originally destined to be destroyed by Poseidon. However, Poseidon achieved godhood and was no longer allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Douluo Continent, so he ascended to immortality." Huang Tieyi stood there, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke. "Legend has it that he participated in all the Divine Trial left behind by the gods that could be found on the Douluo Continent. Each time, he was only one Divine Trial short. When he was sealed, his nine Soul Rings all red with a hint of gold because of the Divine Gift blessing that increased their lifespan..."
"Hahaha..." Mo Daolin laughed excitedly, his laughter echoing throughout Heaven Dou City, seriously affecting the mood of the people in Heaven Dou City wanted to sleep.
Mo Daolin released his Martial Soul, and a humanoid figure shrouded in black mist appeared behind him, with nine dazzling red and gold Soul Ring at his feet.
"Kid, the one who sealed me back then wasn't your ancestor, because the Holy Attribute within you isn't strong enough," Mo Daolin said with a tone of disdain and regret. "The divine element in your Martial Soul is too weak. If you were a descendant of the Qian Family, I could have wiped them all out..."
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, take the Saintess and A Yi back to Spirit City immediately..." Ling Yuan Douluo soared into the air, the huge azure phoenix behind him flapping its wings, and declared firmly, "Mo Daolin, I will never let you harm the Douluo Continent..."
"Little girl, with your Little Firebird Martial Soul, stop spouting nonsense..." Mo Daolin looked at Ling Yuan Douluo as if he were an idiot, and coldly said, "Get lost..."
With just that one word, Get out Ling Yuan Douluo was blown away by the air of the Mo Daolin and crashed heavily onto the roof.
"Senior, would you do me the honor of inviting me to the Heaven Dou City Imperial Palace for a drink?" The Supreme Emperor Xue Yu of the Heaven Dou Empire appeared above the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall, his attitude extremely respectful and humble.
"The Heaven Dou Empire? Never heard of it..." Mo Daolin said with disdain, "However, your Martial Soul possesses the Holy Attribute, which is quite a rare coincidence..."
Before Mo Daolin speaking, he streaked through the air like a beam of light, appearing on Xue Yu's body. Without hesitation, his right hand pierced Xue Yu's flesh, pulling out his heart from his back. "I hate any Holy Attribute. You'd be better off dead..."
With a casual flick of his wrist, Mo Daolin sent Xue Yu crashing heavily to the ground. Despite losing his heart, Xue Yu's eyes still darted around, filled with resentment as he looked at Mo Daolin.
Mo Daolin didn't even glance at Xue Yu. He tilted his head back, gently released his grip on her hand, and Mo Daolin his heart with utter nonchalance.
The scene sent chills down the spines of everyone present, sending cold sweats down their backs. My God, is this even human? He's so cruel, he wants to eat human hearts! Is it too late for me to run?
Mo Daoliu smacked his lips, saying with a hint of disdain, "Too old, his heart isn't very strong. How did he become Titled Douluo? Is it easy to become Titled Douluo these days?" Despite his disdain, after swallowing Xue Yu's heart, Mo Daoliu, who was originally hunched over, straightened his back, and his previously cloudy old eyesight instantly cleared up.
The Mo Daolin's eyes sharpened. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a voice devoid of emotion, "Children below, you all look very energetic. Your hearts must taste quite good..."
"Damn, but..." Sword Douluo Chen Xin, accompanied by a chilling Sword Qi aura, appeared at lightning speed, flying on his sword. He stood atop his Martial Soul Seven Kill Sword, his eyes filled with vigilance as he looked at Mo Daolin. "You audacious evil cultivator, daring to commit evil in Heaven Dou City, you're courting death..."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin stirred, and the Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand. His Ninth Soul Ring lit up, "Ninth Soul Skill: God-Demon Dual Slash..."
Two Sword Qi appeared in the sky. One Sword Qi was as brilliant as day and slashed downwards towards Mo Daolin; the other Sword Qi emitted an evil light and swept across Mo Daolin.
Mo Daolin stretched out his hands with a relaxed expression, casually raising one hand and extending two fingers of the other.
The Divine Slash was easily caught by the Mo Daolin, while the Demon Slash was caught between his two fingers.
Just when everyone was about to despair once again, a huge fireball appeared in the sky...
