Chapter 322: Nine Treasure Empire Merges into the Spirit Empire, Shocking the Continent!
"Tang Hao and a traitor of the Blue Silver Clan. The two of you can die together!"
"God King Skill: Spear of Extinction!"
With a furious cry, Ah Yin unleashed her strongest attack.
It was obvious just how enraged she was.
In an instant, layer upon layer of blue-silver radiance churned across the sky as the vitality of countless plants gathered together at a terrifying speed.
Streams of light resembling vines twisted and intertwined, forming a gigantic blue-silver spear that pierced the heavens and earth above the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral grounds.
The spear radiated the unique, ethereal glow of Blue Silver Grass, while intricate patterns resembling leaf veins covered its entire body.
Its tip gleamed with a bone-chilling coldness that pierced through the clouds, carrying an aura of death capable of extinguishing all life.
The Spear of Extinction hovered high above, its tip firmly locked onto Tang Hao below.
Inside the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral grounds, Ah Yin's long hair whipped wildly around her. Her eyes burned with overwhelming fury as the origin power of the Blue Silver Sovereign poured out without restraint.
On the Clear Sky Sect's plaza, Niu Tian and Tai Tan stared at the terrifying blue-silver spear above the ancestral grounds and couldn't help swallowing nervously.
"Just a trace of power from that blue-silver spear is probably enough to kill us."
"The Clear Sky Douluo and Blue Silver Emperor inside the ancestral grounds are definitely dead."
Niu Tian's voice was filled with absolute certainty.
He had once been a divine official and had some understanding of divine power.
If that Spear of Extinction were unleashed at full strength, it could even destroy an entire plane.
"The powerhouse from the Spirit Empire is probably even stronger than Tang San."
The next instant—
The blue-silver spear descended from the sky, carrying the power to extinguish all life as it plunged toward the ancestral grounds below.
"BOOM!!!"
A deafening explosion shook the heavens.
The entire Clear Sky Sect's ancestral grounds were obliterated by the Spear of Extinction.
The spear's life-extinguishing power directly devoured Tang Hao and Blue Silver King Ah Yin within the ancestral grounds.
When the dust finally settled, the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral grounds had been reduced to ruins.
Only Ah Yin remained standing there.
"Everything is finally gone. Those two disgusting pieces of trash are finally dead."
Ah Yin let out a long breath, a brilliant smile spreading across her face.
Her purpose for coming to this timeline had finally been accomplished.
The destruction of the Clear Sky Sect didn't cause the slightest disturbance across the Douluo Continent.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect was a secluded sect. It had never openly appeared before the continent.
Even after its destruction, hardly any living beings knew what had happened.
Another month passed, and the entire continent remained as peaceful as ever.
The three Douluo Empires were busy improving their academies and accepting students who had withdrawn from Shrek Academy.
As for Shrek Academy, it was facing one problem after another.
Its reputation across the continent was getting worse by the day, and students were leaving one after another...
The newly established Spirit Empire, on the other hand, was in better shape than ever.
The evil soul masters who had once plagued the empire had already been eradicated.
The new soul tool system was also helping soul engineers advance further along the path of soul tool development.
The confidence of the empire's citizens had reached unprecedented heights.
As for the Nine Treasure Empire, it was busy promoting the new alchemy system.
With time, practically every alchemy faction and alchemy clan across the continent had joined the Pill Hall and become part of it.
More and more alchemists emerged, while an increasing number of cheaper pills began benefiting the people of the continent.
It could be said that every faction except Shrek Academy was advancing and flourishing.
Only Shrek Academy, under Xuan Zi's leadership, was steadily declining.
But soon, a piece of news shattered the continent's long-standing peace.
The Nine Treasure Empire announced to the world.
It was willing to join the Spirit Empire and become its vassal state.
No one had expected this.
Not only were the citizens of the three Douluo Empires shocked, even the citizens of the Spirit Empire had never imagined that something like this would happen.
Ever since the ceremony establishing the Pill Hall, the Nine Treasure Empire had already demonstrated its strength to the entire continent.
Two Limit Douluo!
Based on overall strength, the Nine Treasure Empire was the most powerful empire on the Douluo Continent.
Yet such a powerful empire had surrendered to the Spirit Empire before the war had even begun, willingly joining it.
It left everyone baffled.
…
Body Sect
"Sect Master, what should we do?"
"Now that the Nine Treasure Empire has joined the Spirit Empire, the Spirit Empire's strength has reached an unprecedented level."
"I suspect the Spirit Empire will launch a war and annex the three Douluo Empires before long. What should our Body Sect do?"
The Body Sect's vice sect master, Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng, asked Du Busi.
The current Spirit Empire was completely different from the Sun Moon Empire of several months ago.
Back then, the Sun Moon Empire's military strength relied primarily on soul tools.
Its top-tier soul master combatants were relatively scarce.
But the Spirit Empire was different now.
The new alchemy system and the new soul tool system had directly raised the empire's overall national strength by an entire level.
Pills could not only increase a soul master's cultivation but also efficiently heal their injuries.
The new soul tool system had directly pushed the Spirit Empire's already formidable soul tool capabilities to an even higher level.
The Spirit Empire's predecessor had already been renowned for its powerful soul tools.
Now that its soul tool capabilities had advanced another level, no one could imagine just how formidable it had become.
A little over a month ago, Shrek Academy had suffered a devastating blow.
Dragon God Douluo Mu En had died, seemingly at the hands of a soul engineer from the Spirit Empire.
A soul engineer of that level had probably already reached the legendary level ten soul engineer realm.
In addition, the Spirit Empire now possessed three supreme powerhouses.
The current ruler of the Spirit Empire was the owner of the Six Winged Angel martial soul.
Several months ago, she had single-handedly destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, annihilating countless evil soul masters. She had even killed the Evil Emperor, the second-ranked among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts.
From such a battle record alone, one could imagine just how terrifying the current ruler of the Spirit Empire was.
She was probably powerful enough that even a god descending to the mortal world would not be her opponent.
The other two supreme powerhouses were the two Limit Douluo of the Pill Hall.
One was a healing-type Limit Douluo.
On the day the Pill Hall was established, she had directly suppressed the Dragon God Douluo, who once shook the entire soul master world, displaying her overwhelming might.
The other remained shrouded in mystery.
But one thing was certain: she was a powerful offensive-type Limit Douluo whose combat strength was even greater than that of the Pill Hall Master.
And that was only the strength they knew about on the surface.
No one knew what else the Spirit Empire might have hidden.
After all, before the Nine Treasure Empire surrendered, no one had expected it to join the Spirit Empire either.
The more Jin Peng calculated the Spirit Empire's strength, the more uneasy he became.
If the Body Sect joined the war against the Spirit Empire, the outcome...
The Body Sect would inevitably be destroyed.
It would disappear into the river of history.
After Jin Peng finished asking his question, a long silence followed.
Finally, Body Sect Master Du Busi let out a heavy sigh.
"Jin Peng, once the war begins, take the Body Sect into seclusion and pass down the Body Sect's secret techniques."
"As for me, I'll go reinforce the Heavenly Soul Empire and live or die alongside it."
"The Body Sect can withdraw from the world, but I cannot run away!"
