"What's happening up there? I thought I just saw the deputy sect master go up?"
Down below in Black Seal City, the clamoring crowds were filled with unease. Bai Kun, who had only recently advanced to Dou Emperor, looked worried as he questioned Hai Bodong.
"...Bai Kun, go have Yuan Yi arrange an evacuation."
"The sect master already told me about this. Just leave this battle to him and the deputy sect master."
"For now, we can't intervene."
Hai Bodong sighed as he spoke.
Leaving Sun Buxiao aside, even Xiao Yi Xian was stronger than him now.
Hai Bodong had worked hard on his cultivation lately, improving his cultivation and learning new Dou Techniques. His overall strength had risen by more than one notch, and he had crossed the threshold of Seven-Star Dou Huang. But the problem was...
Fucking woeful poison bodies.
Two of them, at that.
Xiao Yi Xian had already broken through to Dou Emperor when she refined her Poison Pill. After spending the past two days tangled up with Sun Buxiao and stabilizing her cultivation, she had finally settled at Three-Star Dou Emperor. In a real fight, she would only lose to Sun Buxiao in speed and his tail. After all, their other assets were much the same.
In other words, Xiao Yi Xian, with her netherworld poison flame and Spirit Realm soul, also possessed Dou Zong-level fighting power.
Was that terrifying? Yes, it was very terrifying.
The Black Annihilation Army's Dou Zong glanced at the two people with woeful poison bodies on either side, then at the three Hall of Souls elders opposite him. He looked as though he had swallowed shit.
Wasn't this the Black-Corner Region, some little backwater in a dark, forgotten corner of the Northwest?
*How was it also a blessed land overflowing
