In reality, the successive appearances of the Titan Giant Ape, Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts had sent an unimaginable earthquake through the Soul Master World.
"Star Dou Great Forest... actually has such terrifying beings?"
In the small pavilion outside Spirit Hall's Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu wore a grave expression as he stared at the Celestial Screen, his mind recalling that enormous black dragon.
"That black dragon... just how many years of cultivation has it reached?"
"Just looking at that enormous body, even someone at my level feels a sense of pressure?"
"I wonder whether I could defeat it using Angel Divine Power."
With the black dragon's display on the Celestial Screen echoing through his mind, Qian Daoliu involuntarily pondered whether he could defeat this enemy of humanity by drawing on the Angel God's power.
"Not just that black dragon, but the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape and the owner of that claw strike that so effortlessly slaughtered the Peerless Dragon Snake are all unimaginable beings."
"To think that, apart from that Titan Giant Ape, our Spirit Hall has no records whatsoever of the other two."
"Star Dou Great Forest truly is unfathomably deep..."
A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but when Qian Daoliu turned his gaze toward his disciple, Dugu Feng, that worry dissipated.
"Hahaha, even if that black dragon is powerful, with the potential Little Feng has shown, surpassing both me and that black dragon may only be a matter of time."
As for Dugu Feng's talent, Qian Daoliu could only say that it far surpassed that of his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, whom he had once considered the continent's greatest genius.
In just a few short days, Dugu Feng had thoroughly integrated the sword techniques treasured by Spirit Hall with Angel Swordsmanship.
He had even used them as a foundation to develop a self-created soul skill specifically targeting other styles of swordsmanship.
His future knew no bounds!
"But aside from that, over among the sea soul masters... Dragon Palace, I've never even heard of it."
Recalling the information Li Ji had revealed on the Celestial Screen, even Qian Daoliu remained somewhat bewildered.
The sea was vast, so vast that even he knew very little about it.
"It seems it's time to put visiting my old friend on Sea God Island on the agenda."
"If possible, I should look for that child Bi Shuo along the way."
Although he had his objections to Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu greatly admired Bi Shuo.
[On the Celestial Screen, Bi Shuo's shout rang out across the entire battlefield.]
[Meanwhile, Bi Shuo himself stood openly high in the air, revealing seven soul rings around his body-two yellow, two purple, and one black-and holding a great banner embroidered with an image of the Angel God Statue.]
[Beside Bi Shuo, a powerful figure in white held him, helping him remain suspended in the air.]
[Thanks to that shout and the revelation of his seven soul rings, Bi Shuo quickly became the focus of the battlefield.]
[The human soul masters who had scattered in flight and were fighting separately found a destination upon hearing that familiar name and seeing that banner, drawing as close to it as they could.]
["Our losses are too great, Elder Ju. We need to find a way to uncover the origin of this beast tide."]
[Watching the considerable number of human soul masters still being killed below, a trace of distress crossed Bi Shuo's exquisitely beautiful face as he looked toward Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan beside him.]
[Even Chrysanthemum Douluo's equally androgynous face was filled with amazement as he watched beast tides erupt simultaneously in different directions.]
["In all my years, I, Yue Guan, have seen a few beast tides from soul beast populations of all sizes, but compared with today's, they were nothing but small skirmishes!"]
["That black dragon that appeared for only a moment just now even made me feel the threat of death."]
["Little Bi Shuo... just escaping today will be difficult enough. How would we have any chance to investigate what caused this?"]
[There were at least four hundred-thousand-year ferocious beasts. Chrysanthemum Douluo felt that even if Pope Bibi Dong were here, she would probably have to flee in disgrace.]
["Everything leaves traces. A beast tide wouldn't erupt without reason."]
["These beings that have lain dormant in Star Dou Great Forest for so many years wouldn't become enraged without reason, either."]
["But it seems we're currently powerless to investigate. Our most urgent task is to establish a defensive line and unite all soul masters, fighting as we withdraw and fighting as we wait for reinforcements."]
["Hold out until reinforcements from Suotuo City arrive, until Heaven Dou, the Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall, and the other major powers respond."]
[A trace of resolve crossed his flawless face, and as soon as Bi Shuo finished speaking, he issued his orders.]
["Sons of Glory! Establish defensive lines in successive groups of six as planned, and receive every survivor who comes beneath the angel banner."]
[The Sons of Glory was a soul master association formed by graduates of Spirit Hall Academy, which Spirit Hall had established, who voluntarily followed Bi Shuo because of his personal charisma.]
[With the Papal Hall's tacit approval, the soul master association had expanded further after Bi Shuo became the youngest Soul Saint in the continent's history.]
[At present, becoming a member of the Sons of Glory.]
[Had already become an honor pursued by Spirit Hall's younger generation.]
[Their numbers had now exceeded 500, including soul masters of all types, such as support, power attack, and control.]
[Later, when Bi Shuo planned to travel the continent, hunting down fallen soul masters and criminal soul masters everywhere, he took only the six most elite six-person squads, totaling thirty-six people.]
[These thirty-six people had been personally taught and trained by Bi Shuo, and all had some grounding in military tactics and other areas.]
[At Bi Shuo's command, the Sons of Glory swiftly sprang into action, building defensive works and receiving fleeing soul masters. Using the six squads as their foundation, they incorporated the fleeing soul masters and formed one combined team after another.]
["Elder Ju! Let's go! Until the battle line is established, we must at least slow the beast tide's advance!"]
["Martial Soul Avatar!"]
[His purple eyes focused, and an enormous phantom of the Death Spider Emperor instantly appeared behind him.]
["First soul skill: Death Spider Scythe!"]
[Holding the enormous purple scythe formed by his soul skill in his left hand and an ornate purple-silver longsword in his right, Bi Shuo charged first toward the several ten-thousand-year soul beasts leading the nearest pack.]
[His purple figure was like a magnificent phantom. As the purple-silver blade in his right hand danced, the purple gem on its hilt flickered with an eerie purple radiance.]
["Little Shuo! You really are brave!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes blazed, his gaze following closely the figure that seemed to be performing a magnificent dance amid the soul beasts.]
["You really are so endearing!" After licking his lips, Chrysanthemum Douluo refused to be outdone. An enormous Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum bloomed high in the sky alongside nine soul rings.]
["Ninth soul skill: Chrysanthemums wither, wounds cover the ground, fallen petals break the heart!"]
[Countless petals suddenly surged with the soul skill, transforming into golden blades that blotted out the sky as they rushed into the beast packs.]
[For a moment, countless yellow and purple soul rings, interspersed with several black ones, appeared over the clearing.
[Had those soul masters who needed soul rings and those theoretical scholars seen this, they probably would have fainted on the spot, crying out at the waste.]
In the Real World, within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Ye stared at Bi Shuo on the Celestial Screen with a rather ugly expression.
"A soul master force proficient in military affairs and capable of waging war-just what is Spirit Hall planning?"
