God of Slaughter?!
Mubai and the others were shocked, but Ye Yu's expression didn't change. A God of Slaughter truly matches the difficulty of the ninth trial.
Ye Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Perfect, there is a god that I very much want to kill! I hope to encounter it then!"
To slay a god with a mortal body was previously unimaginable. Even Poseisy thought that a hundred of her couldn't kill a single god. Even being at level ninety-nine, the difference between just one level is enormous. Below godhood, one is insignificant as an ant; humans and gods are inherently different.
However, Ye Yu is terrifyingly powerful, already invincible now, so reaching ninety-nine and then slaying a god is not impossible. Ye Yu's power to fight beyond his level is too frightening.
Ye Yu and Tang San prepared to leave Sea God Island, with Xiao Wu accompanying them, which was naturally allowed.
Three years have passed, and they don't know what changes have occurred in the outside world.
In these three years, Ye Yu and the others have greatly improved, especially Ye Yu, who is invincible below godhood. As long as Bibi Dong and Qianren Xue haven't become gods yet, they are not his match.
Tang San, second to Ye Yu, has soul power of level eighty-four. Dai Mubai is at level eighty-two, followed by Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, also at level eighty-two. Having finished the seventh trial, their soul power reached level eighty and, after absorbing the Divine Soul Ring, jumped to level eighty-two.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's constitution power can now withstand extremely high-level soul rings. Their eighth soul rings reached one hundred thousand years due to the increase in age from the previous trials.
Their soul ring configurations are second only to Ye Yu and Tang San: purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red.
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing are at level eighty-one.
Previously, only Ye Yu had the ability for self-preservation on the continent, but now they also do. The team of seven is more perfect and stronger, capable of standing against the Martial Soul Hall.
Ye Yu, Tang San, and Xiao Wu went to the beach, with Dai Mubai and the others seeing them off.
Everyone was reluctant to part, their eyes red.
Oscar said, "Quickly leave, or we won't want to let you go, and might want to leave with you."
Ye Yu stated, "Temporary separation is the beginning of our next meeting."
Tang San said, "Take care everyone!"
After bidding farewell to everyone else, Ye Yu and the three left.
Xiao Bai came to send them off, accompanied by two ten-thousand-year Demon Spirit White Sharks.
Xiao Bai said, "You are leaving, let me send you off."
Ye Yu said, "With my current constitution, using Moon Step to travel in the air is fast. You know, my stamina is sufficient to return to the mainland. So allow your clansmen to escort; you just take Xiaosan and Xiao Wu."
Xiao Bai shook his head: "No way, I am your mount, I can only let you ride."
Ye Yu: "..."
Ye Yu helplessly nodded.
With Xiao Bai's speed, Ye Yu and the three arrived at Hanhai City two days later and then bid farewell to Xiao Bai before leaving.
Ye Yu and the three began their journey, arriving at Xilu City, surprised to see soldiers with an air of killing intent and a stern military appearance without relaxation. Their uniforms bore the word Martial Soul on their chests.
Xiao Wu asked, "Where should we go first?"
Ye Yu answered, "Let's head to the Xingdou Great Forest first. Earlier, I worried whether the Martial Soul Hall would continue going to the core of the Xingdou Great Forest. Although Bibi Dong's first Martial Soul has nine soul rings, there's still uncertainty about whether the soul ring configuration of the second Martial Soul is complete, so they might target the Titan Giant Ape and Celestial Cyan Bull Python."
Suddenly, Xiao Wu was nervous and worried: "Let's quickly go to the Xingdou Great Forest."
Ye Yu suggested, "Don't worry, when leaving I instructed the Hell Demon Dragon Race to secretly lurk. Therefore, if the Martial Soul Hall acts, they will assist. The Hell Demon Dragon Race is powerful, with Zi Ji being a two hundred thousand-year Ferocious Beast. With their help and Da Ming and Er Ming, the Martial Soul Hall won't be able to match them easily."
Xiao Wu relaxed a bit, as Da Ming and Er Ming are like family to her, they cannot come to harm.
Ye Yu continued, "Let's first figure out what's going on here and understand whether there have been any changes on the continent during these three years."
Tang San was of the same mind: "I'm curious too. This is a Tian Dou Empire affiliate country, which has ambiguous ties with the Martial Soul Hall, yet is so blatant. It seems many things have happened."
Xiao Wu asked, "Where should we go to inquire?"
Ye Yu indicated, "Let's go to the Martial Soul Main Hall here. In such places, Martial Soul Halls have the largest main hall distributions."
"Okay, this time let me enjoy the thrill of destroying the Martial Soul Main Hall," Tang San's eyes flashed cold.
"Alright, let's go."
Tang San randomly asked someone about the location of the Martial Soul Main Hall in Xilu City.
"Martial Soul Hall? There's no Martial Soul Main Hall here."
Tang San was surprised: "No? Then where is it?"
The old man said, "There's no Martial Soul Hall anywhere."
Tang San was shocked: "None? Could it be that the Martial Soul Hall has been dissolved?"
The old man was startled: "Shush! Keep your voice down! Don't say that! The reason there's no Martial Soul Hall is not because they were dissolved, but now there's only the Martial Soul Empire!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression changed. The Martial Soul Hall became an empire?
"Sir, could you tell us what has happened in these past three years?"
Tang San handed over a Gold Soul Coin to the old man, who was delighted, his face beaming, and accepted it saying, "Let me tell you."
Soon, Ye Yu and the three learned that after they had left, the Martial Soul Hall re-selected the Seven Sects. All the Seven Sects are supporters of the Martial Soul Hall, whose power had grown. Although the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect weren't eradicated, they couldn't resist and therefore didn't participate.
New Seven Great Sects were selected, which jointly petitioned, declaring the soul masters worldwide acknowledge the Martial Soul Hall, and only the Martial Soul Hall can lead all soul masters for better development of the soul master group.
Subsequently, the Martial Soul Hall declared itself an empire. At the same time, Martial Soul sub-halls and main halls within the territories of both great empires were closed, and martial soul masters retreated.
Additionally, subsidiary countries of the two great empires also joined the Martial Soul Empire, forming a triad division. The continent now has the Tian Dou Empire on the left, the Xingluo Empire on the right, and in the middle, the Martial Soul Empire.
The existence of the Martial Soul Empire cuts off the connection between the two great empires, continuously annexing affiliated kingdoms and duchies. Within three years, the Martial Soul Empire's territory already rivals the land areas occupied by the two great empires.
The two great empires are infuriated yet powerless. They could possibly resist if they joined forces, but being divided, they couldn't collaborate. A single nation's strength couldn't withstand the Martial Soul Empire, for the Martial Soul Empire is now far stronger than when it was the Martial Soul Hall.
Xiao Wu resented and was angry with the Martial Soul Hall: "As soon as Brother Yu departed, they commenced action; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to choose the Seven Sects, and Brother Yu would have destroyed them again."
Tang San nodded: "In these three years, our strength has increased, and Brother Yu was on Sea God Island, allowing the Martial Soul Hall to develop unimpeded. Unexpectedly, they've reached this point."
Ye Yu casually remarked: "Even so, it's futile. Because I have returned, Martial Soul Empire? Newly established, yet it's about to be demolished by me. I am already a Titled Douluo, I am the Apocalypse Douluo, I am also the Apocalypse of the Martial Soul Hall!"
