Chapter 226 Mainland Situation
Wuhun City.
"No wonder!" Bibi Dong's gaze swept over Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who had already returned to the Spirit Hall, as well as the disciple standing at the front.
Beyond the far north, there exists a landmass no smaller than the Douluo Continent, where the knowledge of soul tools, long lost on the Douluo Continent, is still prevalent.
What shocked Bibi Dong even more was that the red soul ring with golden patterns was actually more than 200,000 years old, and it was not as simple as just passing through the lightning tribulation.
On that continent of Sun and Moon, there actually exists a terrifying being that is over 700,000 years old.
Given its age, the improvement a Soul Master would gain from absorbing its Soul Ring would be unimaginable.
Ding Quan's seventh spirit ring had seven golden patterns on it. It was a true spirit body with such a spirit ring age. No wonder a spirit saint had such strength.
It's not surprising that Ling, who already has two golden markings on his sixth spirit ring, is just as powerful.
"Your Holiness, what is their current strength?"
"Even I would find it difficult to control a 100,000-year-old soul beast in an instant." Bibi Dong tightened her grip on the scepter.
"This!" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance but did not refute. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, they had seen Bibi Dong deal with the two Beast Kings. Although it was a crushing defeat, Ling's methods were even more shocking to them.
"It's because her mental strength is incredibly powerful. I can sense that Ling's mental strength is even stronger than the teacher's."
Hu Liena looked at the group who had fallen into silence. As a spirit-attribute soul master herself, she could naturally sense the terrifying mental pressure Ling had exerted at that time. Although it wasn't directed at anyone else, she had obtained a domain skill related to the spirit at that time.
They were able to sense Ling's unparalleled spiritual power at that time.
In addition to Ling, Shui Bing'er's mental strength was also incredibly terrifying, as were Ding Quan and Wei'er. Even Zhu Zhuqing, who had a good relationship with me, had mental strength that was no less than mine at the time.
"Is that so?" Bibi Dong stared at Hu Liena, then nodded.
Hu Liena was indeed qualified to say that at that moment.
"Teacher, also, I think I understand what they meant when they asked me to pass on a message to you that you and they were on the same path."
"Nana, you!" A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire hall, and the overwhelming pressure made Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo turn pale, their bodies instantly drooping.
Bibi Dong's expression was uncertain as she stared intently at Hu Liena. She had never told Hu Liena that she had obtained a divine inheritance; she had never revealed this to anyone.
Those people had said a long time ago that they were on the same path as him, which was why he hadn't attacked them.
There might be a level 99 being behind them, whose strength is even greater than their own.
The concept of Soul Cores originated from them, and the existence of Soul Cores strongly suggests that they were created by that top-tier expert.
Is this really the terrifying strength of level 99? He himself, a level 95 Super Douluo, didn't even have the power to resist.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo nearly fell to the ground, feeling the pressure emanating from their bodies. The mere aura they unleashed was enough to render them powerless.
boom!
Two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red—eight spirit rings appeared on Hu Liena's body. Bibi Dong looked at her disciple, and the fact that the eighth spirit ring was red did not surprise her. She had already learned that Hu Liena had absorbed the eighth spirit ring of 100,000 years.
However, to Bibi Dong's astonishment, another red spirit ring reappeared.
Ninth Soul Ring!
Bibi Dong was taken aback. She hadn't even realized that her disciple had already advanced to the Title Douluo level. As expected of a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute, he could actually isolate himself from her senses.
Bibi Dong was well aware that although her level was still 99, there was still a huge gap between levels 99 and 99.
After condensing the Yin-Yang dual soul cores, Bibi Dong was confident that her strength was now several times greater than before, and with the support of the dual soul cores, the power of her soul skills was even stronger.
He felt the power gathering within his body, a power that he had previously believed only a god-level being could possess.
At this moment, the ninth spirit ring that appeared on his disciple made him feel an aura similar to that within his own body—the aura of a god!
Although the spirit ring was red, it had a pinkish tinge, making Hu Liena even more alluring at this moment.
"Teacher, on my way back, I entered a place similar to the City of Slaughter, where martial spirits and soul skills cannot be used either."
"Could it be?"
"Teacher, that is the territory of a god, and a fallen god at that."
"A fallen god! Nana, you?" Gods can die?
Hu Liena nodded, and in Bibi Dong's gaze, a gold and silver mark appeared on her forehead, making her originally bewitching appearance look bright and beautiful.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo struggled to their feet, their expressions unreadable.
Sure enough, this pope was terrifying; little did I know she was already on the path to godhood.
Boom!
Just as Bibi Dong withdrew her aura, a terrifying pressure of equal strength came from afar.
That is?
Offering Hall!
Golden soul power permeated the air, turning the mountain on which the Spirit Hall relied into gold.
Bibi Dong was not surprised to sense this somewhat familiar aura.
"Teacher, has someone broken through?" Hu Liena sensed this powerful aura; someone had broken through.
"That's right, it's Golden Crocodile Douluo."
"Second Elder! He has broken through to level 99!" As the nominal Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena naturally knew about the Elders of the Elder Hall. She and the others from the Golden Generation had always aimed to become Elders.
"Level 99, nothing special!"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly. In the past, the appearance of a level 99 being in the Hall of Worship might have really posed a threat to her.
But even now, she has full confidence in suppressing Qian Daoliu.
A person who is destined not to become a god would never be a match for him at this moment.
Those who worship in the temple do not pose a threat themselves; the real threat comes from someone else.
A thousand feet of snow!
The angelic aura emanating from her was stronger than Qian Daoliu's. Considering Qian Renxue's current soul ring configuration, could she have also reached this point? Her cultivation speed in the past two years was too terrifying, just like his disciple Hu Liena, who unknowingly advanced directly to the Title Douluo level.
He felt a significant increase in the energy he had accumulated for the Ninth Trial within his body, and he knew he would be able to initiate the divine inheritance soon.
Has the Martial Soul Empire still been established? And without any warning.
Ding Quan learned of this news as soon as he returned to the mainland.
Looking at the desolate Spirit City before him, he saw guards composed entirely of Spirit Masters patrolling the area. These guards even possessed strength comparable to Spirit Kings, powerful Spirit Masters capable of serving as city lords in both of the two great empires.
The establishment of the Spirit Empire meant that the Spirit Hall had already declared war on the two great empires.
Although the Spirit Hall is a neutral force, apart from Spirit City, the rest of the area belongs to the territories of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires.
At this time, the Spirit Hall had already occupied several surrounding cities and still showed a tendency to expand into the two great empires.
Although it was somewhat unexpected that the Spirit Hall did not utilize Qian Renxue's identity left in the Heaven Dou royal family, the fact remained that the war had begun.
The Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires had already dispatched troops to resist the attack of the Spirit Empire, but they were unable to withstand it for the time being.
"Rongrong, don't worry, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not participate in the war."
"It's not just the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; basically, all the sects from the two great empires are involved." Ding Quan bought a document from some unknown force in Martial Soul City. The fact that it could be sold here probably indicates a connection to the Spirit Hall.
"That's natural. I've heard that quite a few Title Douluos have emerged from the Spirit Hall recently!"
"It's because of the Soul Core." Seeing everyone's gaze on him, Ding Quan knew it was because he had spread the cultivation method of the Soul Core.
"Such a large number of Title Douluos is enough to make all the forces on the continent think twice, even the three upper sects!" The Spirit Hall has produced more than ten more Title Douluos recently, and these are only the most recent appearances. If the Spirit Hall intends to hide...
Although these titled Douluo are just ordinary titles and not the super Douluo possessed by the three upper sects, their sheer number is overwhelming.
More than ten titled Douluo are not people that everyone has the courage to face.
Moreover, the Spirit Hall has quite a few Super Douluo in name only. The battle that took place in Sunset Forest in the past made countless forces aware that the Spirit Hall now possesses a super existence with a spirit power level of 98.
The powerful forces all know that Qian Daoliu, one of the two great figures in the Soul Master world decades ago, may still be alive.
"This war will likely last a very long time."

"Although the two great empires don't have many top-tier experts, they possess massive armies, some of which can even pose a threat to Title Douluos," Ning Rongrong said in a deep voice. As a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong used to frequently visit the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Within the Heaven Dou Empire, there are several powerful armies. Even his own sword-wielding grandfather, Chen Xin, admitted that if he were to be entangled with them, it would not be easy to escape.
Dugu Bo of Sunset Forest was rescued by Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Empire when he was being hunted down by the Spirit Hall.
The reason why the experts of the Spirit Hall did not pursue Dugu Bo was because Xue Xing had an army that was powerful enough to threaten a Title Douluo, which gave her the confidence to save Dugu Bo.
In addition, the three upper sects also pose a threat to the Spirit Hall.
If the Spirit Hall wants to wage a full-scale war against the two great empires, it will definitely prioritize eliminating these hidden dangers.
Ning Rongrong was startled when she thought of this. Could it be that the Spirit Hall had such a plan a long time ago?
"With the Spirit Hall's current strength, barring any unforeseen circumstances, unifying the continent is only a matter of time." Ling glanced at Ning Rongrong. The two great empires didn't really understand the Spirit Hall's true strength, and many of the Spirit Hall's retainers were people that even the most powerful soul masters had never heard of.
If the Spirit Hall were to go all out, there would be virtually no one who could contend with it.
"Both empires have been passed down for thousands of years, and they also have some hidden secrets."
"indeed."
Buzz!
As Ding Quan and his companions walked through Wuhun City, their gazes turned toward the direction of Wuhun Hall, where the sky above Wuhun Hall was tinged with gold.
The pedestrians around looked terrified, and some weaker soul masters looked towards the Spirit Hall with piety.
"This is!"
"It seems we've arrived at the perfect time."
"It seems that Senior Golden Crocodile has broken through to level 99." Ling sensed the aura coming from the direction of the Spirit Hall. This golden soul power was extremely thick, which was the power of the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul.
"Is this the aura of level ninety-nine?" Shui Bing'er sensed that this aura was indeed much stronger than her own.
"Level ninety-nine, that's the pinnacle of a Soul Master, so it's naturally extraordinary."
In this era, those who can reach level ninety-nine are beings who can come into contact with gods. Qian Daoliu and Poseidon are high priests of the gods, and Tang Chen has also begun the Asura God Trial.
"This aura is quite different from Tang Chen's back then." As the one who sealed Tang Chen's soul power, Ling clearly knew the difference between the two.
"That's natural. Tang Chen has undergone the divine test and already possesses a demigod body and divine power."
"Quan, do you think we can defeat the High Priest of God right now?" Ling asked with a smile, looking at the offering hall shrouded in golden light.
"It's not impossible!" Ding Quan said, "The high priest of God might be someone else's match."
Ding Quan knew that Tang Chen had a slight advantage over Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall when they fought before Tang Chen had obtained the Asura God Test. Qian Daoliu was the High Priest of the Angel God.
Although it is unknown whether Qian Daoliu used divine power during his fight with Tang Chen, it is enough to show that the high priest of the gods is not invincible.
The group made no attempt to conceal their presence and headed towards the Spirit Hall.
Offering Hall.
"Is this the true strength of level ninety-nine?" Jin E felt the surging soul power within his body and quietly withdrew his aura.
"Congratulations, Second Brother, on advancing to the Peerless Realm!" Several elders were filled with envy. Level ninety-nine was a realm that none of them could reach.
"Congratulations, second brother!"
"Thank you for protecting me, brother." At this moment, the golden crocodile looked a little younger, clearly indicating that his lifespan had increased considerably as his strength had broken through.
"Also, someone has come looking for you." Qian Daoliu sensed several powerful soul energies appearing in Wuhun City, which surprised even him, as the priest of the Angel God.
"Is it them?"
As Golden Crocodile Douluo advanced to level ninety-nine, his perception of soul power also reached a terrifying level. He instantly sensed the several soul power auras that were rapidly approaching Spirit City.
"Second brother, some of them might be just as strong as you!" Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice, an expression of disbelief appearing on his usually calm face.
"Brother, only in this way would they dare to ask me for that favor!"
Golden Crocodile's face was equally solemn. His strength was no less than Golden Crocodile's, which meant that they were truly confident.
Hunt down terrifying soul beasts whose strength is only one step away from godhood.
