The crowd from Shrek Academy still believed Li Luochen's words, after all, he was the most knowledgeable.
"So the Hao Tian Sect is doomed, right?" Oscar asked.
"Naturally. Do you know how many Title Douluo the Spirit Hall has mobilized this time? More than ten, and those with soul power reaching level 95 or above already number ten.
Although the Hao Tian Sect has produced some Title Douluo over the years, apart from Tang Xiao whose soul power reached level 96, he was crippled by me. Their second elder with the highest soul power is only at level 94.
Hehe, although they have six Title Douluo, Tang Xiao is already incapacitated. The remaining five old men are merely ordinary Title Douluo. Even though they possess the Hao Tian Formation, in the face of absolute power, everything is futile.
Rongrong, is this what you call the top three sects sharing the same breath? Your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect still has two Title Douluo, while the Hao Tian Sect has quietly developed to have six.
But it's still useless. Oh, let me tell you a little inside information. Her Majesty, the Pope has reached the limit of level 99 Douluo. Her strength can be said to be invincible on the continent.
Even I am unable to defeat him. Do you think the Hao Tian Sect stands a chance?"
Li Luochen's words left the crowd from Shrek Academy's heads buzzing. The rapid development of Shrek Academy had made the hearts of the old founders swell with pride, but reality extinguished their fighting spirit.
Flender truly understood the gap between levels upon reaching the rank of Title Douluo. In these years, his soul power surged ahead rapidly, reaching level 94.
This was because his ninth soul ring was very compatible with his martial soul, and with the soul power from the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it allowed his cultivation to soar. However, when he faced Tang Xiao back then, if it were a one-on-one fight, he would have been at a disadvantage.
And Tang Hao, who was killed by Li Luochen, was even more powerful. A Title Douluo is not invincible; the fierce battle between Thunder Douluo and Overlord Douluo was still fresh in everyone's minds.
Title Douluo is truly the watershed. What shocked him the most was that even with his cultivation, he couldn't see through Pope Bibi Dong's cultivation. That feeling of being bottomless, the sense that she could kill him with one move, was truly terrifying.
Now, Li Luochen personally revealed Bibi Dong's strength, which shocked him. After all, he knew Li Luochen's current strength—his soul power was as high as level 97. At least, except for Dugu Bo, he hadn't seen any stronger Title Douluo than Li Luochen.
Moreover, Li Luochen's soul ring configuration was at least a hundred thousand years. How could anyone compete with that? But Li Luochen himself said that he couldn't beat Bibi Dong. One can imagine how strong a level 99 limit Douluo is.
Li Luochen: "No, Principal, you misunderstand. It's not that I can't defeat a limit Douluo, it's just that I simply can't beat my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law has divine artifacts, she cheats! Her Rakshasa God Sickle can break through my defense, how can I compete with that?"
Ning Rongrong didn't expect the Hao Tian Sect to be hiding so deep. It was indeed outrageous. She gained a new understanding of the Spirit Hall's strength. She decided to go back and talk to her father about bowing to the Spirit Hall to protect their sect.
The group from Shrek Academy ended the topic and began to accelerate forward. They were about to catch up with the main force of the Spirit Hall.
Main Force of the Spirit Hall
Since the main force of the Spirit Hall consisted of Soul Masters all above the Soul Ancestor level, their movement speed was extremely fast. Bibi Dong invested so many people to wage an annihilation war, leaving no way out for the Hao TianSect!
Bibi Dong, sitting in the pope's sedan chair, suddenly sensed something, then released her mental power, sensing around a certain area. Afterwards, she sensed Li Luochen's presence and then pretended to continue resting.
She knew that this young man definitely wouldn't miss such a big fight. The excuse for this grand performance was initiated by Qian Xunji and Li Luochen.
Qian Xunji's era was long gone, already finished. Li Luochen's battle with Tang Xiao three years ago was the real highlight.
Assassinating an elder of the Spirit Hall within Wuhun City and in front of the Pope's palace was no small crime. And to do it right in front of the reigning Pope, how could this be tolerated?
So this was the best pretext for declaring war. Not that no one tried to stop it. For example, someone named Qian Daoliu was defeated and has been bedridden recovering ever since.
Li Luochen sensed the main force of the Spirit Hall, and the Title Douluo on the Spirit Hall side also detected dozens of varying strengths, preparing to investigate.
Li Luochen took out his exclusive Elder Token, channeling his soul power into the token. Subsequently, the Elder Token emitted a powerful light and manifested the image of a staff. Upon closer inspection, it was Li Luochen's martial soul, the Atlas Divine Dragon Staff.
This was a specially-made Elder Token of the Spirit Hall, a special semi-soul-guided device used to distinguish the identity of elders. Its sole purpose was to confirm identity, usable only by the elder themselves. Others who obtained it would be unable to use it.
This newly introduced Elder Token was a new product jointly launched by a blacksmith and an elderly soul mentor, gaining recognition from Bibi Dong, thus beginning production.
The primary aim was to prevent the Title Douluo under the Spirit Hall from mistakenly attacking due to lack of recognition, as some Title Douluo had poor perception and weren't too bright, easily injuring teammates.
With this Elder Token, two unfamiliar Title Douluo elders executing missions wouldn't end up in unnecessary fights.
The Title Douluo coming to investigate Shrek Academy was Ghost Douluo, known for his shadowy presence without visible soul rings. This was his specialty.
Ghost Douluo discovered that it was Elder Li Luochen leading the crowd from Shrek Academy and promptly left, thinking it was nothing unusual among their own people.
"You just follow the flank of the main force. We're here to watch the spectacle, not to fight. I'm going to meet the Pope. Xue'er, Yanzi, let's go!"
Li Luochen, along with Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, and four children, headed towards the pope's sedan chair where Bibi Dong was located.
Bibi Dong's mental power covered the entire formation of soul masters. As long as she focused her perception, she was clear about every movement within. This was the formidable aspect of mental power evolving into divine awareness.
Of course, Bibi Dong recognized her daughter, son-in-law, and Dugu Yan's arrival. With a slight perception, Bibi Dong woke up muttering.
"How did this kid's soul power reach level 97? So quickly? Three years from level 89 to level 97? This... well, it's his destiny. This rascal has quite a lot of opportunities."
After muttering to herself, Li Luochen and others arrived in front of her.
Bibi Dong also looked at them, but her attention remained on Li Chengqian and Li Chengrui. They were her grandchildren, especially Li Chengrui, whom she particularly adored.
However, Bibi Dong was still pleased that her daughter had reached the realm of Title Douluo, with soul power as high as level 92. Li Luochen's soul power reaching level 97 couldn't be categorized under normal super Douluo strength.
From Bibi Dong's perspective, Li Luochen's current aura equaled 1.5 times Qian Daoliu and three times Golden Crocodile Douluo.
As Bibi Dong and Li Luochen met, the vanguard team of the Spirit Hall had already entered the village at the foot of the Hao Tian Sect mountain.
At this moment, several leather-clad men suddenly sensed something, summoned their Hao Tian Hammers, and shouted.
"Who's there!"
Puff puff!
Several swings later, heads rolled. These disciples of the Hao Tian Sect were directly decapitated. The one who struck was Xie Yue, the deputy commander of the vanguard unit.
The chief commander was Ghost Leopard Douluo, but Xie Yue was a favored individual. Although his current strength had reached the Soul Emperor level with soul power at level 63, his abilities were extraordinary.
Ghost Leopard Douluo also intended to nurture him during this event since he was a genius. Of course, it had nothing to do with favoritism. (Sarcasm)
The key point was favoritism. Who could blame him for having a Holy Maiden sister? The Holy Maiden was now a Soul Sage-level powerhouse and the vice-commander of this destruction plan. Before the Supreme Commander, Qing Luan Douluo gave orders, the Holy Maiden had the final say.
Even several Title Douluo elders had to heed her commands. Life isn't just about fighting; it's about human relations!
After killing the miscellaneous disciples of the Hao Tian Sect, the vanguard unit first entered the territory of the Hao Tian Sect. Not long after, the vast procession of the Spirit Hall entered the Hao Tian Sect.
