Two days later.
Above the Body Sect, a rift tore through the daylight.
Boom!!
An unparalleled aura erupted from deep within the sect. Towering Soul Power fluctuations shot into the heavens, forcibly tearing a huge rift through the clouds above the canyon.
The entire canyon trembled.
All the disciples looked up at once, crying out in astonishment at the sight.
"What a terrifying aura!"
"Wonderful! The sect master has emerged from seclusion!"
The stone door in the rear mountains, sealed for days, thundered open. A burly figure stepped out and appeared in the air above the sect.
Du Busi hovered in midair. Behind him, the enormous phantom of a green giant slowly solidified, a hundred meters tall, its features indistinct yet carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Hahaha!"
Du Busi spread his arms and threw back his head in laughter, his voice like rolling thunder.
"I have finally become a Limit Douluo!"
Du Busi had now successfully condensed his second Soul Core.
Inside his body, one Soul Core lay in his chest and another in his dantian, bearing the poison attribute and spatial attribute respectively. They rotated in opposite directions, circling one another.
Two utterly different forces formed a perfect balance through their overlapping cycles.
These were-
Yin-yang complementary dual Soul Cores!
Not only did they provide far greater total Soul Power and endurance than isotopic resonance dual Soul Cores, but their powers could also blend, granting greater raw strength.
Most importantly, only yin-yang complementary dual Soul Cores offered the possibility of attempting a third Soul Core!
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Master!"
The brothers Long Aoyu and Long Aotian were the first to offer their congratulations.
Vina and Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside them, joined in with congratulations.
The other disciples finally reacted. Someone led a shout, and then the voices across the entire square merged into one-
"Congratulations, Sect Master!"
"Glory to the sect master!"
Shouts rose one after another, lingering for a long time.
The newly joined disciples were seeing Du Busi for the first time. They gazed up at that burly figure, their eyes filled with awe and astonishment.
The hundred-meter-tall green giant phantom slowly withdrew.
But-
The pressure belonging to a Limit Douluo let everyone truly feel what it meant to be a peerless powerhouse!
"Congratulations on becoming a Limit Douluo, Sect Master!"
Jin Peng strode forward, a heartfelt smile on his face.
Elder Wei, Elder Zhao, Elder Zhou, Elder Qian, Elder Mo, Chen Yuan, and the other elders gathered around as well, offering their congratulations in unison.
Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo also spoke up:
"Congratulations, Sect Master."
Du Busi slowly descended from the sky. His gaze swept over the unfamiliar faces and the elders gathering around him before finally settling on Long Aoyu and Long Aotian.
He raised his hand and patted Long Aoyu on the shoulder. "Well done."
Then he patted Long Aotian's shoulder as well. "A Soul Emperor already, with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone. You have something of your master's bearing in his younger days!"
Long Aotian grinned.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to your teaching, Master."
Du Busi patted him again, then turned toward Yue Guan and Gui Mei. He looked them up and down before nodding slightly. "Very good."
"Welcome to the Body Sect."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei cupped their hands at the same time. "Greetings, Sect Master."
Du Busi nodded, then looked at Dugu Bo, seeing through his condition at a glance. "Level ninety-three. Your Poison Pill has transformed into a Soul Core."
Dugu Bo cupped his hands. "It's all thanks to you and Elder Jin, Sect Master. Otherwise, I would still be tormented by poison backlash. How could I have reached where I am today?"
Du Busi waved a hand, dispensing with further pleasantries.
Turning his head,
Du Busi looked at the hundred-plus new faces, gratification in his eyes.
"The Body Sect has an ancestral precept, passed down since its founding-all who awaken a body martial soul are disciples of the Body Sect!"
Du Busi's voice echoed through the canyon. "Seek out our kin scattered throughout the world and guide them back to the sect. Now that you stand here today, the Body Sect is your home!"
The square fell silent.
The young disciples watched Du Busi, some of their eyes reddening slightly.
Du Busi's gaze grew stern, and his voice abruptly deepened.
"Seven days ago, Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, brought people to provoke us before the gates of our Body Sect."
At these words,
The disciples seethed with righteous indignation.
"In that battle, our Body Sect repelled the attackers and demanded sufficient compensation from Spirit Hall."
Du Busi's voice was not loud, yet it carried immense authority. "But Bibi Dong has not learned enough of a lesson! As sect master of the Body Sect, now that I have emerged from seclusion, I ought to pay Spirit City a visit."
As his words fell,
Not one of the elders showed the slightest fear. Fighting spirit surged in every one of them.
"Sect Master, I'll go with you!"
Jin Peng strode forward. "Let's turn Spirit City upside down and show the world what our Body Sect can do."
Elder Zhao said, "Me too!"
"Let's all go and raze Spirit City!" Elder Zhou shouted in a deep voice.
Du Busi shook his head.
"I am going to Spirit City not to wage war, but to demonstrate our might. If this truly escalates into an all-out war, both sides will only suffer."
"My mind is made up. Stay put. I will go to Spirit City alone."
Hearing this,
Jin Peng and the other elders all fell silent.
Long Aoyu did not try to dissuade him, merely reminding him, "Master, Spirit Hall has the Angel God's legacy. Please be careful."
"Mm."
Du Busi nodded, took a step, and vanished from everyone's sight.
After Du Busi became a Limit Douluo, the spatial-attribute Soul Core within him gave him control over spatial power far beyond what he had possessed before.
With a mere lift of his hand,
Du Busi could tear through space and travel vast distances, crossing over a thousand li.
Before long, he arrived outside Spirit City.
Inside the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged on the Gilded Beast-Skin Meditation Cushion before the Angel God Statue, his eyes closed in quiet cultivation.
"Someone is here."
Qian Daoliu suddenly opened his eyes.
The other six worshippers raised their heads at once. Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned.
"Who?"
Qian Daoliu's gaze pierced the towering dome of the Worship Hall. "A Peerless Douluo."
"A Peerless Douluo!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed drastically. He sprang to his feet and asked, "Could it be Tang Chen? Or the one from Sea God Island?"
The other five worshippers also rose at once and looked at Qian Daoliu.
"Neither. It is an unfamiliar Peerless Douluo."
Qian Daoliu shook his head, stood, and walked toward the hall doors, a trace of gravity in his voice. "Come. Let's take a look."
Du Busi stood in the sky above Spirit City, looking down upon the magnificent city beneath him.
Boom!
The pressure of a Level 99 Limit Douluo erupted without restraint, enveloping all of Spirit City in an instant.
Almost simultaneously, every Soul Master in the city felt that oppressive force.
Like a god, Du Busi cast his gaze past the Papal Hall, his voice exploding like thunder above the city.
"Bibi Dong, get out here!"
Wrapped in immense Soul Power, his voice shook countless buildings throughout the city until they hummed.
The Soul Masters in the streets instinctively staggered back several steps. Some of the timid ones even dropped straight to their knees.
Du Busi announced his presence in the most direct, most overbearing way-
Alone, he bore down upon Spirit City with his might and shouted abuse at the Pope!
