Chapter 104: Sha Lu Zhi Wang

Ning Rongrong and Oscar returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only to learn from Ning Fengzhi that Douluo Dalu had undergone earth-shaking changes.

It turned out that three years ago, the Spirit Hall had convened a grand assembly to reselect the seven great sects.

The new seven great sects were produced, and without exception, they were all the most loyal supporters of the Spirit Hall.

Within the two great empires, no sect could be found capable of opposing them. Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still possessed competitive strength, out of safety considerations, it did not participate in this assembly.

Three months later, the Spirit Hall declared the establishment of a nation and renamed itself the Wuhun Empire.

All Spirit Hall branches within the territories of the original two great empires were closed, and Spirit Masters were withdrawn.

The scope of the Wuhun Empire was formed based on all the kingdoms and duchies of the original two great empires.

Stretching across the two great empires and completely severing their connection, the total area of the Wuhun Empire, formed by the combination of more than ten kingdoms and duchies, was in no way inferior to either of the two great empires after their split.

From a geographical perspective, the Wuhun Empire was clearly at a severe disadvantage, with the Tiandou Empire to the north and the Xingluo Empire to the south.

However, since the Spirit Hall changed to the Wuhun Empire, it actually expanded in both directions simultaneously; within a few years, it had already occupied an area equivalent to two provinces of each of the two great empires.

At the same time, the Wuhun Empire issued an order summoning all Spirit Masters across the continent to join; those who did not join would be uniformly regarded as heretics.

Combined with the influence of the newly promoted seven great sects, the Spirit Hall almost controlled over seventy percent of the Spirit Master power on the continent.

Moreover, with experts gathering like clouds, there were more than ten Title Douluo, forcing the two great empires to only accumulate strength and dare not engage in a direct clash; otherwise, once the army collapsed like a mountain of mud, there would be no chance left.

The Spirit Hall Pope, Bibi Dong, became the first-generation emperor of the Wuhun Empire; as a woman, she ruled the empire, and after a brief outward expansion, began to integrate the empire, eliminate opponents, and train the army.

The financial resources accumulated by the Spirit Hall over many years became a solid backing for the empire's development; in just a few short years, the Wuhun Empire had already become a powerful empire standing in a tripod formation with the Tiandou and Xingluo empires, and in terms of strength, it was sufficient to surpass any single empire.

In the armies stationed at both borders of the empire, there were more than twenty thousand Spirit Masters, personally led by Title Douluo from the Elder Hall.

On the other side, Zhou Yu returned to the Spirit Hall.

In the private chamber exclusive to the Pope, two naked bodies embraced tightly, entwined in deep affection.

After a long while, Bibi Dong's voice, full of charm, sounded in the room: "I didn't expect that in just a few short years, you would actually become a Title Douluo, with soul power reaching level ninety-five!"

Zhou Yu stretched out his arms and gently embraced this most powerful woman on the continent into his arms, letting her lean against his chest.

"Your Majesty! Tang Hao has already been crippled, and Tang San cannot grow up; this father and son pose no threat to us. Although the Clear Sky Sect's strength has not diminished, they are like a startled bird, daring only to be a turtle with its head withdrawn; as long as we annex the two great empires and unify the continent, the remaining ragtag elements are nothing to worry about."

Bibi Dong smiled proudly and said, "Do you have any good strategies for dealing with the two great empires?"

Zhou Yu slowly said, "Xueye, the Great Emperor of Tiandou, has already died from the slow-acting poison of Tang San and Ning Fengzhi. This Xue Beng taking Tang San as his master is nothing more than an attempt to use the power of the Tang Sect to deal with us. As long as Tang San is thoroughly eliminated, the Tiandou Empire is nothing to worry about. As for the Xingluo Empire, since Dai Mubai does not wish to be king, I will give him a push, causing internal chaos in their empire first."

"Hmm! Do as you say!"

Bibi Dong highly approved of Zhou Yu's plan; after pondering for a while, she said, "However, will that Sha Lu Zhi Wang, Tang Chen, and the Sea God Douluo, Bo Saixi, really not interfere in the affairs of the continent?"

The three ultimate Douluo of the current age: Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu.

Bo Saixi remains neutral, only responsible for guarding her Sea God Island. As for Tang Chen, though he hails from the Clear Sky Sect and is currently mentally unstable, he remains a hidden danger.

Before going to Sea God Island, Bibi Dong had already ordered Hu Liena to lead the Golden Generation to infiltrate Slaughter City, using the Snowy Swan Kiss given by Zhou Yu, throwing it into the Yellow Spring Dew of Slaughter City; the characteristics of this Immortal Herb caused the Yellow Spring Dew to become a deadly poison with no cure, ultimately leading to the destruction of Slaughter City.

Their goal was to force Tang Chen out of Slaughter City and then hunt him down.

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "As long as Tang Chen is killed and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand is seized, there will be nothing in the world that can threaten you, the existence of the Rakshasa God."

At this moment, he asked in confusion, "By the way, why has there been no news from Hu Liena until now?"

In the Star Dou Great Forest, after Tang San had been flying for nearly an hour, the sky suddenly underwent an abnormal change; the originally bright blue sky was gradually swallowed by thick dark clouds.

Endless layers of clouds surged densely, blocking the scorching sunlight, and a touch of autumn coolness quietly permeated the air.

Just then, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated for no reason by a few beats, and a throbbing sensation came from his left hand.

"What is going on?"

Tang San was startled and quickly raised his left hand to look.

Immediately, he saw streams of black qi swirling above his left hand, like silk threads, releasing themselves while trembling slightly.

He quickly pulled up his sleeve and discovered that the same situation had appeared on his left arm, extending all the way to his shoulder before stopping.

The aura contained within the black qi was very familiar to him; it was precisely his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

However, since he neither activated it nor cultivated, why did it suddenly undergo such a change?

Immediately, under the drive of his will, Tang San released the Clear Sky Hammer.

With a flash of black light, the Clear Sky Hammer jumped once in his hand upon appearing.

A feeling of excitement flowed from the hammer body into Tang San's body; it was the excitement of bloodlust. The patterns of the Killing God Domain carved on the Clear Sky Hammer had now completely turned blood-red; even in the daylight, that blood-red light remained clear and gradually emerged from the surface of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Bloodlust, slaughter, terror; various negative auras continuously spread out from those blood-red patterns.

"Could it be Hu Liena?"

Tang San thought of a possibility; back then, both he and Hu Liena had obtained the Killing God Domain, and only she could be said to possess a Domain identical to his.

While he was pondering, the patterns of the Killing God Domain on the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly shone brightly, flashing with white light.

He floated down and landed in a patch of forest; the moment his feet touched the ground, he smelled a heavy scent of blood.

Hanging on a tree branch not far away were two corpses; their bodies were so broken that they were almost unrecognizable as human, looking more like two chunks of minced meat hanging there. The strangest thing was that although the air was filled with an exciting scent of blood, he did not see a single drop of fresh blood; those two corpses were entirely dead-gray bones and minced meat, with not a drop of fresh blood remaining.

He quickened his pace, and corpse after corpse gradually came into view.

Finally, when Tang San saw the twenty-third corpse, the scene ahead changed abruptly; a vast red blood mist surged forth, obscuring the forest ahead, and the sound of intense soul power collisions continuously rang out from within the blood mist.
