The holy war ten thousand years ago, the Underworld's ancient hall revealed

Spirit Hall, inside the Worship Hall.

The seven great worships stood in the main hall. Within its pitch-black interior, a few dim flames flickered, making it feel somewhat oppressive.

"Big brother, where did this Heavenly Screen come from? Why did it appear at this exact moment, and what is this catastrophe it speaks of!?"

The impulsive Seventh Worship could not contain his agitation. Holding the Coiling Dragon Staff in one hand, he glanced at his brother, then turned his gaze toward the blond elder above.

He was the highest-ranking authority in all of Spirit Hall, its Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu!

"The Heavenly Screen? Does it symbolize the will of the Heavenly Dao? It can make everyone across the continent aware of its existence, and it claims there will be a catastrophe engulfing the entire continent. I think we must avoid acting rashly for now."

Qian Daoliu spoke.

Then the great hall fell silent once more.

Silence spoke louder than words.

Their eldest brother Qian Daoliu's cultivation could be called the greatest on the continent today.

Even he had no confidence and did not know where this so-called Heavenly Screen came from. As Super Douluos, they were nowhere near as powerful as their eldest brother. Beyond feeling somewhat agitated, there was nothing they could do.

"I truly cannot imagine it. Apart from our great Spirit Hall, is there another force capable of plunging the entire Douluo Continent into catastrophe?"

Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo, a living fossil of Spirit Hall, spoke, his gaze exceedingly cold.

Among those present, apart from Qian Daoliu, his words carried the weight of truth, and he commanded immense authority.

Yet even this rigid old traditionalist felt a heavy weight in his heart upon encountering the Heavenly Screen today.

The unknown meant a loss of control.

This was the first time such a situation had arisen in his decades as a Soul Master!

The Heaven Dou Empire.

"The Heavenly Screen? A catastrophe for the Douluo Continent? Are you sure you aren't talking about my great Spirit Hall?"

At this point, Xue Qinghe had yet to reveal her true identity as Qian Renxue. She raised her head toward the sky, looking at that boundless expanse of golden light.

Her golden eyes trembled slightly as well.

"Young master, should I return and report this matter to the Great Enshrined!?"

Beside her, Snake Lance Douluo had a thin face, and his expression shifted uncertainly.

"The Heavenly Screen has caused such a commotion that Grandfather must already know. For now, we can only meet every change by remaining unchanged and quietly wait to see what information this Heavenly Screen releases!"

The gentle expression Xue Qinghe wore when facing Tang San was gone. When speaking to subordinates such as Snake Lance Douluo, his eyes revealed a chill.

"Yes, young master!"

Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo followed Xue Qinghe's lead.

They obeyed his commands completely.

[Alert]

[The countdown to the Douluo Continent's catastrophe is about to begin]

[Hades is about to awaken. Once the Underworld obtains the key to opening the Xuanming Coffin, Hades will awaken completely]

[Latent Soul Power: Level 100+]

Boom!

Just as everyone across the Douluo Continent was startled by the Heavenly Screen's sudden appearance, before they could react-

The Heavenly Screen stirred again.

And this time, apart from the voice of the Heavenly Dao it emitted-

Images appeared as well.

The golden Heavenly Screen stretched across untold thousands of miles.

Streaks of lightning scattered within the golden Heavenly Screen, followed by a clear image that appeared on the golden screen above everyone's heads.

Pitch-black.

Utterly pitch-black.

Black to the point of nothingness.

This was a domain so ancient that it carried the air of a primordial wilderness.

Ruined walls and ancient graveyards lay all around.

The world's palette was entirely gray.

In a place so dark that one could not see one's fingers outstretched, there stood a ruined ancient hall.

"What is that!?"

"Heavens! What is this place?"

"There's a place like this on the Douluo Continent? Judging by the images on the Heavenly Screen, this territory is at least as large as the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire!"

Some people saw this astonishing sight through the Heavenly Screen.

"Is there anyone inside this ancient hall?"

"It doesn't seem inhabited. Isn't it too dilapidated?"

"Could the catastrophe the Heavenly Screen mentioned be the master who lives inside?"

Some speculated.

But as soon as this conjecture was voiced, some refused to believe it.

Shrek Academy.

"Grandmaster, what is this place? I've never seen it before."

"It's pitch-black. It looks like nighttime. That's not right, it's supposed to be daytime now!"

Ma Hongjun stared wide-eyed at the Underworld.

He was dumbstruck.

Yu Xiaogang was stumped by the question.

You're asking me? I stole all my Soul Master theories from Bibi Dong. I've never even seen a place like this. How would I know where it is!?

Naturally, Yu Xiaogang would not readily share his thoughts with his junior. He merely kept up appearances, furrowing his brows tightly.

"I wonder where Little San is right now?"

Yu Xiaogang immediately thought of his prized personal disciple.

If Little San were beside him, he could discuss this with him. From the looks of it, the place within the Heavenly Screen was exceedingly dangerous! He felt that he needed protection.

At this thought, Yu Xiaogang instinctively looked around. Only when he saw Flender beside him did his heart relax somewhat.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Having awakened his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, Tang San had long blue hair and handsome features. A crystalline sapphire light seemed to swirl within his eyes.

"The Heavenly Screen!? Does it represent the will of the Heavenly Dao?"

"There's going to be a catastrophe on the Douluo Continent? My strength has now broken through to Soul King, and I'm only half a step from Soul Emperor. Can I face this unprecedented catastrophe?"

After murmuring to himself, Tang San sneered inwardly. With the domineering might of Divine Slaughter's Domain, the power of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, and the world's number one tool Martial Soul, what would I fear even against Spirit Hall? A mere catastrophe? Let's see your true face!

"Playing at gods and ghosts!"

Tang San felt contempt for what had appeared within the Heavenly Screen.

He let out a scoff.

He turned his gaze toward the Lake of Life.

He had not seen Xiao Wu for several days. He was going to see his beloved.

Within the Heavenly Screen.

The images began broadcasting live.

[The Underworld]

[Established single-handedly by Hades ten thousand years ago]

[The holy war against the Angel God ten thousand years ago ended with Hades voluntarily falling into slumber]

[Now, ten thousand years have passed]

[Hades's strength is no longer what it once was. If Hades is allowed to revive, the entire Douluo Continent will be plunged into darkness]

The Underworld.

The slumbering Hades heard the Heavenly Screen slandering him like this.

His vision could not help going black.

If I revive, I'll plunge the Douluo Continent into darkness?

Heavenly Screen, you're a hater of mine, aren't you?

But on second thought, once he revived and attained the position of God King, the life and death of every living being on the Douluo Continent would hinge on a single thought of his!

It seemed those words were not entirely unreasonable.

Having accepted this, Lin Feng revealed a peculiar expression.

Outside.

The information exposed by the Heavenly Screen caused another uproar.
