Ascension to Godhood?

Is this really something that can be done by human power?

"His Majesty..."

"Damn it... Yu Tianshuang's strength has actually reached such a terrifying level, what should we do..."

"Could it be that he has truly ascended to godhood?"

On the Heaven Dou Empire's side, whether ordinary soldiers or Soul Master legions, including Marshal Ge Long, a Soul Douluo, everyone was stunned by the snow-white world before them. Xue Beng, who had endured years of feigned Xue Beng, was now at a loss. Dozens of plans flashed through his mind, but he rejected them all. Aside from its million-strong army, the Heaven Dou Empire's high-end combat power was completely no match for the Spirit Hall Empire. Apart from the Holy Spirit Cult, their high-end combat power actually depended on a few young people from the Shrek Academy...

Xue Beng himself was filled with mixed emotions, but in an instant he realized something, "That's right... the Holy Spirit Cult..."

Thinking of this, he immediately strode forward, disregarding any notions of imperial grandeur, and arrived beside Ye Yuxuan, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"What a pity..." A thin black veil covered her exquisitely beautiful face, but the mere glimpse of her long, narrow eyes was enough to convince anyone that the woman before them possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Through those bright and Wumei eyes, Ye Yuxuan looked at the icy world that had been transformed into a vast expanse of ice and snow by the power of Yu Tianshuang's sword. After scanning it carefully several times without success, she couldn't find even the slightest trace of the Clear Sky Sect and the others' existence in the world. Helplessly, she shook her head.

"Cult Master Ye... it's quite a pity. Yu Tianshuang's strength is so terrifying. With a single sword strike, she not only annihilated all the Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, but the resulting icy world has undoubtedly increased the difficulty of our march for our only advantage—a million-strong army. I wonder what your thoughts are on this situation?"

Xue Beng, who had just arrived beside Ye Yuxuan, overheard her say, "What a pity..." However, his understanding of the meaning was completely different from Ye Yuxuan's. "Retreating would have been better... What, Your Majesty Xue Beng, do you still think we have the strength to fight? Look at how many Titled Douluo are floating in the sky over there..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng was furious, but he dared not show the Sisi dissatisfaction, offering only an awkward laugh. "I know the only option right now is to retreat... but this thousand-mile stretch of Ice Seal terrain, while perhaps an insurmountable barrier for our Heaven Dou Empire, is not a difficult task for the Spirit Hall Empire, which boasts numerous high-level Soul Master..."

Ye Yuxuan nodded nonchalantly, "I know, so it's okay. Just order the army to retreat and return to camp. The Spirit Hall Empire won't dare to pursue us."

"But..."

Before Xue Beng could even utter a word, Ye Yuxuan leaped into the air and flew towards Yu Tianshuang and the others. Watching Ye Yuxuan's graceful figure in the air, Xue Beng maintained a humble smile, but inwardly he was cursing. "Damn woman, one day I'll pin you down and make you beg for mercy!!!"

Ye Yuxuan flew incredibly fast, arriving a hundred meters away from Yu Tianshuang and the others in just a moment. She waved to them, "Hey, long time no see!" as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in years. Then she looked down and scanned them several times, saying somewhat dejectedly, "What a pity, not even a trace is left. What a shame..."

Faced with Ye Yuxuan, who entered the enemy ranks as if strolling leisurely in her own backyard, Yu Tianshuang and the others were very wary. However, in the current situation, they really couldn't figure out what this mysterious woman had to rely on to make her so composed.

Protecting Ye Lingling behind her, Yu Tianshuang warily pointed her sword at her and said, "Ye Yuxuan, what are you up to!"

"Wow, you still remember my name, that's great, I'm so happy!" Faced with Yu Tianshuang's hostile question, Ye Yuxuan answered irrelevantly, blinking her bright eyes at Yu Tianshuang a few times and clapping her hands in response.

"Boom!"

A surge of icy Soul Power erupted from Yu Tianshuang's body. "Answer my question!"

"Oh dear, why are you being so fierce? Girls don't like guys like that..." Facing the oppressive aura emanating from Yu Tianshuang, Ye Yuxuan seemed detached, still sporting her charming smile.

"Whoosh!"

Another swift, icy blue sword aura flashed out, but Ye Yuxuan simply shifted her body slightly to dodge it. She then turned to Yu Tianshuang and said, "Fine, you're really easy to tease. Okay... I came here to tell you that we're preparing to withdraw our troops and return to camp. That emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire is afraid of your pursuit, so I'm here to retrieve some things and also to put his mind at ease. After all, we're still in a cooperative relationship..."

"Hmph! What a joke! I don't know what trump cards you have up your sleeve, but don't you even open your eyes and take a look at what's right now..."

Before Yu Tianshuang could finish speaking, Ye Yuxuan, a hundred meters away, waved her hand, and circles of obscure and incomprehensible magic arrays unfolded around her. Soon, black-robed figures exuding an aura of death appeared in the arrays. Judging from their appearance, they were exactly the same as the Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult that they had killed before.

After doing all this, Ye Yuxuan's entire demeanor instantly changed, transforming from Wumei and lively to like a venomous snake exuding a deadly aura. Her long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly. "Now... do you think you still want to chase after us?"

"They're just a dozen or so hastily trained Titled Douluo, their true combat strength barely reaching the level of Titled Douluo. If this is your trump card, then I'll answer for him: Today, we will..."

Sensing the fluctuations from Yu Tianshuang's side, Bibi Dong and the others rushed over, just in time to witness Ye Yuxuan's actions. As the only publicly known powerhouse on the battlefield at level 99, the Limit Douluo, and also the Empress of the Spirit Hall Empire, Bibi Dong spoke domineeringly. However, before she could finish speaking, Ye Yuxuan waved her hand and summoned another magic array. Although there was only one array this time, Bibi Dong sensed that the dangerous aura contained within it far exceeded that of the previous arrays by dozens of times.

"Zhong Meng?"

"That burly man from the Holy Spirit Cult, level 98!"

"How could it be him? Wasn't he killed by me and Qian Renxue...?"

The last figure to appear in that magic circle was none other than Zhong Meng, who had died not long ago. He was the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult who had fought Yu Tianshuang in the Star Luo Empire. Moreover, the chilling death aura emanating from him at this moment was so dense that it was visible to the naked eye, that it was incomparable to what it had been just now.

"Phew... these women are really ruthless, especially the one with the fire and the Angel woman, they really hurt me..."

The Zhong Meng who appeared in the magic circle was clearly different from those Titled Douluo who lacked consciousness. Compared to before, apart from his unfathomable strength, he had not changed at all, as if he had not just been killed.

"Gone... Zhong Meng's corpse is gone, and the sword wound on his chest from my Angel Holy Sword is gone too... Was this person a monster? Unkillable?"

Relying on her memory, Qian Renxue looked at the spot where Zhong Meng's corpse should have been, where she had cut it down, and hurriedly spoke in surprise.

"Hmph, I've already assessed your and his combined strength as level 99 Limit Douluo, but do you really think you can make us give up our easily attainable victory based on that alone?"

Although Ye Yuxuan's actions surprised everyone, Yu Tianshuang remained unmoved. Even so, the difference in combat strength was obvious.

Faced with Yu Tianshuang's threatening questioning, Ye Yuxuan nodded in affirmation, "Of course, you can kill us again right now, but I want to make a bet with you, Yu Tianshuang."

"I bet you can't kill me..."

"Hmph, ridiculous! Fine, let's make the bet then..."

Faced with the provocative bet, Yu Tianshuang scoffed and immediately prepared to draw her sword, but was stopped by a delicate, snow-white arm. "Senior Sister?"

After blocking Yu Tianshuang, Shui Bing'er looked at Ye Yuxuan, who was veiled in black gauze, stared at her for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Besides confidence, what I see in her eyes is also a strange madness... Give up the pursuit, think carefully about what happened at the Star Luo Empire's border, and... where did these disgusting things come from..."

"Shui Bing'er is right. The Heaven Dou Empire's greatest advantage is its million-strong army, but this advantage doesn't refer to those million soldiers, but rather..."

Bibi Dong's understanding of the Holy Spirit Cult was no less than that of those who had experienced the battle on the border of the Star Luo Empire. After reviewing the Spirit Hall's records of the Holy Spirit Cult over the years, she already knew how those cannon fodder monsters and the Titled Douluo without any intelligence in front of her came to be.

"I see..."

If it weren't for the fact that both his Soul Power and True Essence Power were almost completely depleted— Soul Power Soul Power would be manageable, given his current recovery speed, allowing him to Douluo I and recover simultaneously—the depletion of True Essence Power wouldn't be so easy to recover. Without True Essence Power as his greatest trump card, he really wasn't confident he could defeat the woman before him. Although unwilling, he suppressed the urge to take a gamble, because if he failed, Ye Yuxuan's desperate attack could convert the million-strong army of the Heaven Dou Empire, with unimaginable consequences.

"Ye Yuxuan, I can let you leave, and I will also agree to your conditions: have the Heaven Dou Empire's troops withdraw to their camp. Listen carefully, withdraw to their camp!"

Yu Tianshuang reluctantly put away the Yu Tianshuang Heavenly Frost Cold Qi in his hand, then spoke to Ye Yuxuan, emphasizing the words "the people of the Heaven Dou Empire have withdrawn their troops back to their camp".

"I understand. That's exactly what I wanted to tell you when I first came here. Don't worry..."

"Oh, right, there's something I haven't retrieved yet. If it's not too much trouble, could you please hand over those people with Tang San to me..."

"Hmph, everyone except Xiao Wu was burned to a crisp by me. How can I give them to you? If you want them, go pick them up yourself..."

Ye Yuxuan's appearance infuriated Huo Wu. When she heard that Ye Yuxuan actually wanted them to hand over the Shrek Academy students to her, she immediately spoke up in an annoyed tone.

"Oh dear, it's alright, it's alright, coke will do..." Ye Yuxuan didn't care about Huo Wu's unfriendly tone. Instead, she waved her hand to indicate that she was okay. Then, the mindless Titled Douluo behind her, like Gui Mei, directly stepped over Yu Tianshuang and the others and headed towards the battlefield behind them, without worrying about being attacked.

"Ye Yuxuan, Cult Master Ye, I'm very curious about one thing: why don't you directly convert the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army into your own fighting force, instead of going through all this trouble?"

Bibi Dong's words were something that everyone present, Jialing Pass Huo Wu, couldn't understand. If Ye Yuxuan had already used her terrifying Holy Spirit Cult's secret techniques to turn the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army into nourishment and convert it into her own fighting power before arriving at Jialing Pass, why would she go through all this trouble now? Was it some kind of twisted sense of humor?

"Oh... well, Your Majesty, if you want to know, that's fine too, but you'll have to join my Holy Spirit Cult. After all, your question... well... it's a secret of our cult. Or, if you don't want to join, we can exchange something. For example, give me the Yu Tianshuang, how about that?"

"You're asking for it!!!"

Bibi Dong could even speak, Huo Wu beside her flew into a rage, flames shooting skyward as she transformed into a burning meteor and charged forward. However, she was stopped mid-flight by Shui Bing'er, who cried out, "What are you doing, Shui Bing'er?!"

"Can't you use your brain for once? It's been so many years, and you still get angry so easily. It's really..." Shui Bing'er said helplessly, but she also glanced coldly at Ye Yuxuan. Although she was just casually replying to Bibi Dong, Huo Wu actually dared to make a move on Yu Tianshuang. Although she did not agree with Huo Wu's actions and thought they were a bit silly, she thought they were quite good.

Soon, the Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, like puppets on strings, brought over the charred corpses of Dai Mubai and the others. Apart from Xiao Wu being seriously injured and unconscious, even Oscar was unrecognizable, showing no sign of being alive.

"Thanks, we'll be going now. Looking forward to seeing you next time!" She waved in Yu Tianshuang's direction, or rather, at Yu Tianshuang alone, and winked at him playfully before turning around.

Ye Yuxuan's actions infuriated Huo Wu, who stomped her foot in Huo Wu, "How awful!!! I'm so angry!!!"

"Shui Bing'er, why do you think Ye Yuxuan would go to such lengths to do all this? There are clearly simpler and more effective methods. Before, the only thing I could think of was her perverse sense of humor, some kind of demonic fetish. But after meeting her today, I've changed my mind. This woman, like you, would never do anything without a benefit..."

Hearing Bibi Dong's voice from behind, Shui Bing'er was somewhat surprised. This incredibly arrogant woman would actually take the initiative to ask her a question. Although she was a little surprised, Bibi Dong's question was also a question that had been troubling her for a long time since the battle on the border of the Star Luo Empire.
