"It's here." "
Great Performer, go and call Bai E and the others out.
We're heading to the White Tiger Hotel in the eastern part of Xingluo City."
Aglaia stood on the balcony at the end of the corridor of the Xinghuang Hotel, her light blue-yellow eyes looking at the azure sky, and said to Na Kexia beside her.
Na Kexia looked at the distant sky, where several faint azure flashes could be seen.
"White Tiger Hotel?"
"Is there any explanation over there?"
Aglaia said calmly:
"The boss wants us to go there. It's the hotel where the students of the Xilu City Research Academy are staying.
The teacher leading the group is a god-level expert, enough to protect everyone's safety in the upcoming chaos."
Na Kexia nodded and said:
"Then let's go."
"How do we explain it to the academy?"
Aglaia chuckled and looked at Na Kexia:
"Just say we're going to the east to attend an auction.
There are always many reasons."
Na Kexia didn't say anything more, turned around and left, preparing to call everyone out and then set off immediately.
Since the boss had said so, there was no need to hesitate.
Although that Hogus enjoyed watching amusement and had quite a few wicked tastes, it couldn't be denied that he was reliable when it came to important matters; at least he wouldn't let things fall apart.
However, the existence of a god-level powerhouse on the Douluo Continent surprised Na Ke Xia somewhat; he had thought the highest cultivation level this world could currently withstand was quasi-god.
At this moment, above the Star Luo Imperial Palace, all the elders of the Hall of Worship were on high alert, led by Crimson Dragon Douluo, their faces solemn as they watched the gradually brightening azure light in the direction of Tianxing Port.
"A shattered star has fallen,"
Crimson Dragon Douluo suddenly said, his tone very heavy.
The Healer Douluo Wang Xian'er trembled slightly, her lips moving slightly.
"He is worthy of the Star Luo Empire; he is a hero of this country."
Crimson Dragon Douluo said with unwavering determination, his tone earnest.
"That's right! He is a hero."
"Since Shattered Star has set an example, we cannot back down.
If the Sea God Clan wants to make the Star Luo Empire bow down, then let's see if their fists are strong enough!"
Crimson Dragon Douluo's powerful voice rang out in the air.
All the elders straightened their chests, their auras overwhelming, their soul power surging, causing the surrounding air to stagnate.
Soon, a blue meteor, carrying terrifying power, streaked across the hundred-meter-high, hundred-meter-thick city walls of Star Luo City, heading straight for the core imperial palace.
The soul master groups deployed inside the imperial palace immediately activated their defensive soul tools.
Golden shields rose from all directions, converging at a single point at the top of the palace.
The blue meteor, its power undiminished, crashed into the golden shield.
A terrifying explosion resounded throughout Star Luo City, the massive shockwave almost instantly leveling all the tall buildings within the city.
"Ahhh!!"
Countless pebbles fell, crashing onto the screaming crowd. Just before they were engulfed by the boulders, eerie blue runes appeared beneath their feet, and their figures vanished instantly.
This was clearly the alchemical formula that Roman and Huo Yuhao had set up in Star Luo City.
The rubble smashed the neat streets into pieces, and half of Star Luo City was shrouded in dust.
As the dust gradually settled, more than twenty Title Douluo-level powerhouses surrounded Star Luo City, led by the Sea God Douluo Chen Hanhai.
Hundreds of spirit rings almost formed a continuous line in the air, many of them crimson, their aura as deep and oppressive as a hell, pressing down on this city of millions.
The weaker spirit masters and civilians were so overwhelmed by the aura of the twenty-odd Title Douluos that they couldn't even move, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, even their ability to think was being stripped away.
Crimson Dragon Douluo and others also released their spirit rings, and the auras of the two sides collided, giving the civilians below some relief, allowing them to regain some mobility.
Tens of thousands of soldiers in the city quickly evacuated the people from the streets, sending those with homes back home and those without to the nearest square for refuge.
"Where is the Star Luo Emperor?!"
"We are the Sea God's family. We have come here for two reasons: first, to reaffirm the Sea God's glory on land; and second, to seek justice for the countless lives of Tianxing Port!"
"Your Star Luo Empire has slaughtered so many sea creatures without cause!
The Star Luo Emperor should give us, the ocean, an explanation!"
"As long as the Star Luo Emperor kneels before the Sea God's statue, I will forgive and forget!"
Chen Hanhai displayed his spirit rings; the terrifying configuration of five black and four red made all the worshippers pale.
The Star Luo Empire, of course, knew what this meant—it meant that the other side might truly possess divine favor.
The Crimson Dragon Douluo, enduring the pressure of the Limit Douluo, was furious, his head practically flaring with anger.
"Turning black into white!"
"Arrogant and shameless!"
"I'd like to see just how strong you are!"
The Crimson Dragon Douluo revealed his Martial Soul True Form; a crimson dragon hundreds of meters long appeared above Star Luo City.
A colossal dragon roared, its crimson wings blotting out the sky, raising the temperature of Star Luo City considerably.
Chen Hanhai's azure eyes flashed with disdain; his opponent's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a sea dragon.
He wasn't boasting or belittling the sea dragon, but in a real fight, ten sea dragons combined wouldn't be a match for him.
The difference between a Limit Douluo and a Super Douluo was immense.
Some Limit Douluos were at their limit because the world could only withstand so much.
Others, like Xuanzi in the later stages of the original story, were at their limit because that was their highest possible realm.
The Sea God Douluo belonged to the former, wielding a divine artifact and a god-level martial soul, unlike the useless Xuanzi.
However, the Sea God Douluo didn't need to intervene.
A burly man beside him, his muscles bulging, unleashed his seventh black spirit ring, revealing his true martial soul form.
It was a jet-black sea spirit beast with giant fangs, radiating a pale blue light, and crowned with a crown of solid ice.
This spirit beast is called the Sea Demon Elephant, a type of sea spirit beast that is very common in the icy sea.
It has extremely strong resistance to ice and fire attributes and is accompanied by a golden conch shell, which has the ability to manipulate air currents.
The burly man before them possessed the Sea Demon Elephant Emperor's martial soul, the strongest individual in the Sea Demon Elephant clan.
Sure enough, the Walrus Douluo pulled out a giant golden conch shell and blew it sharply, the deep "whooshing" sound sending a chill down everyone's spines.
The Crimson Dragon Douluo felt the air around him suddenly vanish; without the support of the airflow, his wings could no longer maintain flight, and he plummeted uncontrollably.
Before he could even recover after crashing to the ground, the Walrus Douluo, with its massive body, swept across the houses with unbridled force, slamming its giant fists into the Crimson Dragon Douluo's dragon body.
The Crimson Dragon Douluo roared in pain, its red vertical pupils flashing with ferocity, its dragon claws coated in crimson flames as it engaged the Walrus Douluo in hand-to-hand combat.
The dull thuds of flesh colliding echoed throughout Star Luo City, and everyone in Star Luo City could witness the battle between the two giant beasts.
If this were a movie, the visual impact and the thrill of the fight would be off the charts, but this was reality, and it was far from a cause for celebration.
On a high platform, Roman activated his alchemical incantation, using the magic network to locate civilians and evacuate those near the battlefield.
As long as the people of Star Luo City didn't act recklessly, they were generally safe, at least their lives were secure.
However, if they insisted on being bloodthirsty spectators, Roman couldn't stop them.
Most civilians and merchants fled to safety, while some Soul Masters recklessly ventured to the periphery of the battlefield to watch.
For them, witnessing powerful warriors clash was worth the price of their lives.
On the battlefield, Crimson Dragon Douluo was extremely frustrated, suffering greatly in close combat with the Sea Demon Elephant Emperor.
His dragon claws couldn't penetrate the emperor's thick layer of fat, and the high-temperature flames were ineffective.
The Sea Demon Elephant Emperor's resistance to fire was simply too high.
"Bang!"
The Sea Demon Douluo slammed another punch into Crimson Dragon's head, making him see stars and his eyes bloodshot.
With a fierce determination, taking advantage of the walrus's inertia preventing it from defending, he channeled a scorching dragon breath into his dragon head, the intense heat melting the surrounding palace tiles.
At the moment the breath erupted, a giant ice spike suddenly solidified on the ground, plunging into the red dragon's jaw and lifting its head high.
The scorching dragon breath, brighter than the sun, shot straight into the sky.
The Walrus Douluo grabbed the Red Dragon Douluo's head and began to strike relentlessly.
Simultaneously, many Title Douluos from the Hall of Worship faced their respective opponents, usually two against one, with the Sea God Clan having far more Title Douluos than the Hall of Worship.
The battlefield situation was currently one-sided. Beside the Sea God Douluo, two figures remained motionless, their aura suggesting they were around level 97 or 98.
Behind them were three beings whose auras clearly indicated they were soul beasts awaiting orders; their ability to transform into human form indicated they were also at the ferocious beast level, roughly equivalent to a level 96 Super Douluo.
"Dai Huabin, where are you going?"
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were following Aglaia to the eastern part of Star Luo City, grabbed Dai Huabin and asked.
Dai Huabin looked anxious because Zhu Lu had messaged him yesterday saying she would come to the competition to cheer him on today.
But now there was no word from her; the last message on the magic network was that she said she was going to a breakfast shop near Xingluo Square.
"Zhu Lu is at Xingluo Square, I need to go pick her up!"
Xu Sanshi said, grabbing Dai Huabin in a panic.
"No, brother!"
"Are you crazy!"
"Look at Xingluo Square, is that a place for a human to stay?"
"A bunch of Title Douluos! I mean a bunch!"
"They won't care about the ants on the ground when they fight!"
"Take my advice, let's go to a safe place first. Zhu Lu should have gone to the shelter too."
Dai Huabin broke free from Xu Sanshi's grasp.
Ever since the kneeling incident at the Shrek Academy gate, he had seen clearly who cared about him the most, and his relationship with Zhu Lu had deepened.
Of course, this was also something Huo Yuhao was happy to see.
Xu Sanshi was about to continue persuading him, after all, he was a teammate and junior, when Bei Bei stopped him, looking at Dai Huabin and saying,
"I understand how you feel. If Xiao Ya were over there, I would have reacted the same way."
"Be careful."
Dai Huabin gave Bei Bei a grateful look, then activated his martial soul and rushed towards Xingluo Square.
"Zhu Lu!!"
"Zhu Lu!"
"Where are you?!"
Dai Huabin shouted loudly near Xingluo Square. Figures flew across the sky from time to time, their soul skills colliding fiercely, unleashing one terrifying impact after another.
The impact shattered the outer walls of Xingluo Square, and the walls full of artistic sculptures collapsed with a crash, as if deliberately guided, crashing down on Dai Huabin below.
Hundreds of tons of rock and metal were enough to paralyze a mere Soul Master.
Dai Huabin sensed the danger with his spiritual power, but it was too late to dodge.
He activated the White Tiger Protective Shield and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation simultaneously, his body enveloped in white light, preparing to withstand the blow.
He gritted his teeth, bracing himself for excruciating pain, when a dark golden light flashed past him, and a peculiar fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
Dai Huabin opened his eyes to see a petite, blonde loli standing with her hands on her hips, staring at him.
"Hey, what are you thinking?!"
"You want to die?! A Soul Master trying to withstand hundreds of tons of metal and rock?!"
Dai Yue'er looked at Dai Huabin with exasperation; she herself had been injured in a landslide.
Her younger brother hadn't learned his lesson at all.
Dai Huabin stared at the loli before him, his eyes wide with a strange attraction.
