At the same time, within the Dugu Residence in Heaven Dou City, a figure rose into the sky.
Clearly, Dugu Bo had also sensed the commotion outside the city.
In the past, he would not have dared to push into such a grand scene.
He knew exactly how many catties and taels he weighed. Don't crowd the fun only to become the fun.
But times had changed. A few days ago he had cultivated to the peak of level 93. After taking the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, his soul power broke through two bottlenecks in succession, stepping straight into level 95 Titled Douluo. Dugu Bo felt it was time for the title of Poison Douluo to stand tall again.
The weakest Titled Douluo on the continent? I, Dugu Bo, am no longer that.
Elsewhere, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In a quiet room, Chen Xin opened his eyes.
"What's going on? A Titled battle?"
Sensing the surge of soul power rising dozens of li to the southwest, Chen Xin frowned.
Without hesitation, he rose, left the quiet room, and flew toward the sect's main hall.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Gu Rong likewise flying toward the hall. Clearly, Gu Rong had sensed it too.
"Old Bones, you go notify the Sect Master. I'll inform the elders."
Chen Xin said to Gu Rong.
"Alright."
Gu Rong nodded slightly, changed direction, and went to find Ning Fengzhi.
Though the ones fighting dozens of li to the southwest were not from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a clash of Titled Douluo—more than one at that—would have far-reaching impact. Whether they should intervene was a decision only Ning Fengzhi, as sect master, could make.
Soon, six figures gathered in the sect's main hall.
Besides Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi, who hadn't even had time to dress properly, there were also the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder, who had only recently advanced to nine-ring Titled Douluo.
"Uncle Sword, can you tell what's happening over there exactly?"
Ning Fengzhi asked Chen Xin with a frown.
Chen Xin nodded slightly. "There are five Titled Douluo fighting. There were originally six—two on one side, four on the other.
"But the outnumbered side has a fierce one. He took one down. Now it's two against three."
Chen Xin's spiritual power could not extend that far. He could only sense the general situation from the disturbance dozens of li to the southwest, so he was slightly off from the reality.
It was not six Titled Douluo fighting, nor a former two-vs-four and current two-vs-three, but Chu Chengzhou taking on five alone and "turning" one of them into an ally.
Before Ning Fengzhi could ask more, Chen Xin continued, "One aura has clearly weakened. He must be badly injured. Now it's two against two."
"So strong?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's brows knit.
In so short a time, one killed and one heavily injured. Even if the fallen and the injured were not top-tier Titled Douluo, it still spoke to how formidable the one making the kills was.
Suddenly, in the perceptions of Chen Xin and Gu Rong, eight more Titled-level auras appeared to the southwest.
"Coward, if I didn't sense wrong, another eight?"
Gu Rong said to Chen Xin in disbelief.
There had already been six. Add eight more and that would make fourteen Titled-level combatants.
Good grief, did they arrange a meetup?
Even when Tang Hao smashed Spirit Hall's former Pontiff Qian Xunji back then, it didn't draw such a huge stir.
"No, that's not right. They don't seem to be Titled Douluo. The auras are off..."
Straining to feel the disturbance from afar, Chen Xin frowned.
"Not good, Fengzhi. These eight newcomers are Titled-level Nether White Tigers. Your good son-in-law must be stirring up trouble again!"
Abruptly, Chen Xin spoke in shock. Before his words had fully fallen, he flashed out of the hall and rushed toward the southwest.
If the combatants had nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Xin would gladly watch the show. With so many experts in a melee, it would be one of the top spectacles on the continent in nearly a hundred years.
But since one side was the Star Luo Empire's Nether White Tigers and the location was near Heaven Dou City, did the other side even need saying?
Either the sect's ally, the Heaven Dou Empire that stood opposed to Star Luo.
Or his would-be grandson-in-law, Chu Chengzhou, who had deep enmity with Star Luo.
And the current fighters were far more likely to be Chu Chengzhou than Heaven Dou. Chen Xin naturally could not sit still.
Seeing Chen Xin hurry away, the remaining five in the hall paused in surprise for two seconds, then likewise sped toward the southwest.
Eating other people's melon is delicious by nature. But if the melon you're eating ends up on your own head, that's a very different matter.
At this moment, on the battlefield.
Seven Nether White Tigers surged in head-on, while Tyrannosaurus and Wind Thunder Douluo blocked the way behind. For the moment, Chu Chengzhou seemed surrounded.
And with one against nine, the situation looked very unfavorable to him.
But Chu Chengzhou felt no fear, especially after seeing down on the wilderness that his three "chibi" summons were ready.
"I just wonder how many big tigers Star Luo will have left after tonight."
Gazing calmly at the seven seemingly ferocious Nether White Tigers ahead, Chu Chengzhou thought to himself.
Thinking was one thing. His hands did not stop. Crimson and yellow flared around him. As soul power surged, the defensive technique Blooming in an Instant activated.
In an instant, a soul power flower interwoven in crimson and yellow bloomed above his head. As two-colored petals drifted down, a faint divine radiance covered his whole body.
Next, a ring of white light rippled out. The Killing God Domain unfolded. Rainbow light rose at his brow as the spirit bone skill Elemental Dominion activated, increasing the might of all elements by 30%.
Then Chu Chengzhou drew and nocked, ready to deliver the finishing blow.
There was no babbling nonsense. Bearing a hatred against Chu Chengzhou so deep that not even the waters of the four seas could dilute it, Dai Tao chose to strike at once.
"Roar—"
With sky-shaking tiger roars, the seven massive Nether White Tigers beat their wings and dove straight for Chu Chengzhou.
Just then, an invisible domain power blanketed several hundred meters around.
In a flash, Dai Tao, the six royal elders, and the two Douluo directing the Nether White Tigers all felt a terrifying gravity descend, dragging them straight toward the ground.
The hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape's innate domain: Gravity Domain.
The next moment, the Titan Giant Ape summon Xiao Ming, long prepared, shed his disguise, transforming in an instant from a monkey less than a meter tall into a terrifying giant beast over ten meters high.
