"The four beasts can fuse and rise above the god level?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice trembled slightly.
As a Titled Douluo, he understood far better than ordinary Soul Masters just how terrifying the gulf between Soul Masters and gods was.
Titled Douluo were already beings countless Soul Masters looked up to.
Yet before a true god, even a Level 99 Limit Douluo might not have the power to resist.
But this White Tiger before them could fuse with three other Soul Beasts and obtain power greater than a god's?
The way Holy Dragon Douluo looked at the White Tiger changed completely.
"Fortunately, they're scattered across four different directions of the continent."
"If the four Soul Beasts had already gathered, there's no way we could still be standing here alive."
Bibi Dong said nothing. The more this was the case, the more closely she had to watch the White Tiger.
After learning that the Four Holy Beasts could fuse, not only did she have no intention of retreating, but the killing intent in her eyes grew even stronger!
The four beasts becoming one was terrifying, certainly.
But they were not together now.
That meant this was their only chance to hunt them down separately.
If they missed this chance now...
Once the four Soul Beasts gathered someday, there would probably be no one left on the entire Douluo Continent capable of dealing with them!
"Don't stop! Keep attacking! I'll watch for the White Tiger's weakness!"
Bibi Dong's emotionless voice rang out.
"The bond they share has nothing to do with us hunting the White Tiger."
"The White Tiger is already injured. Even without exploiting its weakness, we can kill it quickly!"
"Delay invites trouble!"
Hearing her words, everyone from Spirit Hall quickly regained their composure.
That was right. As time passed, more and more people would arrive to hunt the four great Soul Beasts.
If they did not hurry and someone beat them to it, they would be in trouble!
The many Soul Masters of Spirit Hall spread out again.
The White Tiger lowered its head to look at them, the purplish-black power on its leg spreading outward little by little.
Then white light surged from within its body.
The corroded flesh actually began contracting rapidly, forcing the purplish-black power outward bit by bit!
At the sight, Bibi Dong's expression darkened again.
Sure enough, the White Tiger would not be so easy to deal with.
Among the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's party.
Ning Fengzhi had stopped walking.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo stood beside him, both wearing extremely grave expressions.
"So this is why they occupy the top four places."
Bone Douluo gazed at the four figures in the sky.
"Fortunately, we left in time."
"If Spirit Hall wants the White Tiger, let them fight for it themselves!"
Sword Douluo shook his head, however.
"It isn't that simple."
"If Spirit Hall succeeds in killing the White Tiger, one link in the bond between the Four Holy Beasts will be missing."
"But the White Tiger's Soul Ring and Soul Bone will also fall into Bibi Dong's hands."
Ning Fengzhi frowned.
Neither outcome could be considered good news for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If all Four Holy Beasts survived, once they gathered, a power above the god level might emerge.
But if Spirit Hall killed the Four Holy Beasts one by one, its strength would likewise grow rapidly!
"It seems we must seize one of the Soul Beasts!" Ning Fengzhi said solemnly.
"Let's head toward the Vermilion Bird while we wait to see what the sky screen reveals!"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had no objections.
Compared to a single Soul Beast being hunted down, all four being killed by Spirit Hall was far more dangerous.
Spirit Hall still had the Worship Hall, which had yet to appear. If they joined the battle too, the consequences were easy to imagine!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's party quickened its pace!
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen had likewise stopped on the outskirts of the Qingchuan Mountain Range.
They could already see the broad river flowing out of the mountains in the distance.
The Azure Dragon should be upstream.
But after learning the true secret of the Four Holy Beasts, several of the clan's elders no longer dared approach rashly.
"Clan leader, are we still going to wait for its weakness to be revealed?" one elder could not help asking.
Yu Yuanzhen looked at the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, his gaze growing ever more resolute. "We'll wait. Why wouldn't we?"
"First, send in two people skilled at concealing their presence."
"Only establish the Azure Dragon's precise location. Remember, no one is to attack without my order!"
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not the only group heading for the Qingchuan Mountain Range.
Large numbers of Soul Masters had already appeared in the nearby forests and along the roads.
The parties from the two great empires followed close behind as well, watching like tigers eyeing their prey.
Whoever attacked the Azure Dragon first might become a tool for others, wearing down the Soul Beast's strength for them!
The Heaven Dou Empire.
The atmosphere inside the imperial palace had become extremely oppressive.
Xue Ye looked up at the four Soul Beasts on the sky screen.
The court attendant beside him had already marked all four beasts' locations.
The Qingchuan Mountain Range to the east.
The Crimson Flame Volcano to the south.
White Tiger Canyon to the northwest.
And the Black Tortoise near Sea God Island.
The four beasts happened to be scattered in different directions across the continent.
"If they truly gather, will they threaten all human Soul Masters?"
A minister asked quietly.
No one could answer that question.
Power above the god level lay far beyond the bounds of human imagination.
Xue Ye said in a deep voice:
"Have our people closely monitor the movements of Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Especially Spirit Hall!"
If there was any faction on the continent most likely to hunt down all four Soul Beasts, it could only be Spirit Hall!
The number of Titled Douluo it possessed far exceeded that of the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects!
If all four Soul Beasts fell into Spirit Hall's hands...
There would no longer be any force on the continent capable of keeping Spirit Hall in check!
Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace, someone had realized the same problem.
The Star Luo emperor's expression was extremely grim.
"Send someone to contact the Heaven Dou Empire."
"When it comes to the Four Holy Beasts, the two great empires cannot continue acting independently."
"At the very least, we cannot let Spirit Hall take them all!"
Several attendants immediately accepted the order and left.
The appearance of the four Soul Beasts had already forced the two great empires to reconsider their relationship with Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall obtaining the Soul Rings of the four great Soul Beasts would simply be too terrifying!
Sea God Island.
When the words "the four beasts become one and rise above the god level" appeared, every Soul Master on Sea God Island's expression changed.
Sea Dragon Douluo clenched his fists. "No wonder the Black Tortoise suddenly approached Sea God Island."
"Could it be planning to use Sea God Island to summon the other three Soul Beasts?"
"Probably not. The other three are too far away," Bo Saixi said, her expression equally grave.
Summoning Soul Beasts across a distance required a spatial ability. Sea God Island did not possess such powerful capabilities.
Bo Saixi's attention remained fixed on the Black Tortoise throughout.
From the moment the Black Tortoise appeared until now, it had shown no clear intention to attack.
But with a Soul Beast capable of fusing with the other holy beasts and obtaining power beyond the god level lingering just offshore, she could not possibly rest easy!
Tang San and the others' eyes were also filled with shock.
They were undergoing the Sea God Inheritance, so naturally, they understood what the god level meant better than ordinary Soul Masters.
Yet these four Soul Beasts could actually possess power surpassing a god's!
If we could turn them into Soul Rings...
The thought had barely surfaced before Tang San glanced at the distant Black Tortoise.
With their current strength, killing a Soul Beast like this was simply impossible!
Let alone obtaining the Soul Rings of all four holy beasts at once!
