Searching for the Xuanming Key, the Lion King Fleet revealed

The Underworld?

What kind of power was that!?

And what the hell did they mean, ten thousand years ago!??

As the images on the Heavenly Screen spread, accompanied by a voice like rolling heavenly thunder, everyone on the Douluo Continent was stunned.

Their hearts felt unbearably heavy.

Nine Dragons Mountain.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

In the square, the old dragon Yu Yuanzhen stood at the head, with second-in-command Yu Luomian, the sect's direct disciples from its various collateral branches, and its clansmen standing below.

"Big brother, what sect is this Underworld? How can its foundations be so strong? Ten thousand years ago-just how far back was that?"

Yu Luomian's expression changed, becoming somewhat unsettled.

As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not even have a history spanning tens of thousands of years.

Yet this Underworld, which had appeared out of nowhere, actually had a history dating back ten thousand years!

Impossible!

"Clan leader!"

"The foundations of a top-tier sect, this is definitely..."

"Impossible! Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is invincible under heaven!"

As a commotion inevitably broke out among those in the square, Yu Yuanzhen's expression turned stern. "Silence!"

The furious shout, laden with terrifying Soul Power, instantly silenced everyone present.

He said, "What a load of bullshit from this Heavenly Screen! Utter nonsense! Even now, we don't know whether the Douluo Continent's history goes back ten thousand years. Yet this Underworld, appearing out of nowhere, dares claim it took part in a holy war ten thousand years ago! Absolutely laughable!"

Yu Yuanzhen laughed in anger.

"Grandfather, if what this Underworld says is true, how should we respond!?" Yu Tianxin gazed warily at the Heavenly Screen.

This was his first time seeing such a spectacle, too.

He could not help feeling drums beating in his heart.

"No hurry. Let's see what other outrageous information this Heavenly Screen has to offer."

In Yu Yuanzhen's view, this Heavenly Screen that had appeared out of nowhere was a fake!

None of its information could be taken seriously!

[Underworld warriors have deployed. Target, human activity zone on the Douluo Continent: Heaven Dou Empire]

[Mission: obtain the Xuanming Key]

The Heaven Dou Empire!

Boom!

The moment those words rang out.

Every Soul Master within the Heaven Dou Empire watching the Heavenly Screen's live broadcast was stunned.

"The Heaven Dou Empire?"

"This so-called Underworld power's first stop upon emerging into the world is actually our Heaven Dou Empire!?"

"The Heaven Dou Empire has strong soldiers and sturdy horses. We aren't afraid of this so-called Underworld!"

"Judging by the name, it should be a small sect. Ridiculous. A mere sect dares dream of opposing our empire."

"They're simply courting death!"

Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Within the imperial household.

Xue Ye had long been bedridden with illness.

Upon witnessing all this, Prince Xue Xing passed word to his elder brother, worsening Xue Ye's already grave condition.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Xue Ye coughed up blood, staining his white beard. "This Underworld-just what power is it?"

Faced with the emperor's question.

Not a single member of the imperial household could answer.

Xue Ye said, "For a divine miracle like the Heavenly Screen to warn of it as a calamity for the Douluo Continent, it must be powerful. Our Heaven Dou Empire must remain on strict guard!"

With that.

He ordered his own son summoned.

Xue Qinghe.

"Go tell the crown prince to see me."

Xue Qinghe had already been waiting outside the door.

Compared with the confidence of having victory in hand for the coup about to be launched.

Now, Xue Qinghe also felt drums beating in her heart.

Because an unknown variable was about to descend.

"I must keep watching this Heavenly Screen broadcast!"

Xue Qinghe's expression darkened.

Damn it, everything is ready, lacking only the east wind. Where did this Underworld come from, coming to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to find some Xuanming Key? Where would the palace have anything like that!?

I'd like to see just how strong these Underworld people are! Who is stronger, me, Qian Renxue, or you!

A desire to compete in secret took shape in Xue Qinghe's heart.

Star Dou Great Forest.

"Brother, it's the Underworld. Their target is actually Heaven Dou Imperial City?"

On the shore of the Lake of Life.

Xiao Wu's jade-like feet swept through the lake water.

They were so fair they gleamed.

She and Tang San leaned back-to-back, sharing a sweet time together.

Tang San's blue eyes flickered constantly. "The Underworld? Teacher is right in the heart of Heaven Dou Imperial City. I'm afraid he may be in danger."

"Should I go back and help Teacher deal with this potential crisis?"

Listening to Tang San's words.

It was as though he could casually wipe out this power from the Underworld.

Xiao Wu blinked. "Brother, with your current strength, can you beat these so-called Underworld people?"

"Of course. Don't forget, your brother led Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament and defeated the Spirit Hall Golden Generation."

"As long as these Underworld people dare appear before me and hurt you, Xiao Wu, I will protect you at any cost and kill these so-called Underworld people."

As he spoke.

A trace of killing intent appeared in Tang San's eyes.

Hearing this.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with even greater adoration.

She pressed her face against Tang San's chest.

Feeling a sense of security unlike anything before, she curled her lips upward and murmured, "Brother, you're the best..."

Spirit Hall.

"The Underworld is going to attack the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"How interesting..."

"I never expected Heaven Dou Imperial City to have something the Underworld needs."

The Pope's Palace.

Dressed in a long purple gown, Bibi Dong took two steps, her chest trembling slightly.

She revealed a cruel smile.

"This will also let me see the Heaven Dou Empire's strength, and just how much this so-called Underworld truly weighs."

As it happened.

The Soul Hunting Operation was about to begin.

The Heaven Dou Empire was among her targets for destruction.

Now she had a free fighter to lead the charge for her. Nothing could have pleased her more.

"The show has only just begun. The Underworld? Let me see your strength. I hope you won't disappoint me."

An expression of keen interest appeared at the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth.

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo behind her exchanged looks.

"They're here!"

At that very moment.

The live images within the Heavenly Screen changed again.

It was an expanse of void, a dark night with no objects visible anywhere around it.

Yet at that moment, groups of steel behemoths were actually flying through that lonely darkness.

"What kind of Soul Beast mounts are these?"

"Their entire bodies look forged from black iron. Are these weapons or Soul Beasts?"

"This is refined iron... No! At the very least, it's forging material on the level of cold heart iron essence."

"Do these flying chunks of heavy iron and refined steel really exist?"

"They must be fake, right? How could refined iron that heavy fly?"

"Look at these flying objects. Their surfaces are so smooth. Even Senior Lou Gao of Gengxin City couldn't achieve this level of forging craftsmanship, could he?"

When the Lion King Fleet appeared before the world for the first time through the Heavenly Screen's live broadcast.

It instantly set off a massive earthquake.

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong could not help rising to her feet.

The lashes of both her eyes trembled.

Revealing that her heart was far from calm at that moment.

"Steel Ferocious Beasts?"

"Or divine weapons?"
