Chapter 342 Li Bai Heads to the Papal Palace!
Starry Sky Forest.
Gu Yuena's purple eyes were fixed on the words "two years" on the sky.
The usually indifferent and composed Lord of Soul Beasts was now filled with extreme shock.
She has lived for countless years, witnessed the fall of the Dragon God, the rise and fall of the Soul Beasts, the birth of a plane, and the descent of gods.
But she had never seen a human cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo within two years!
"Two years..."
Gu Yuena murmured softly, her mind reeling.
"Even the Dragon God of yesteryear couldn't have cultivated at such a terrifying speed..."
Beside them, the ferocious beasts, including Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and Wan Yao Wang, trembled all over, their faces filled with horror.
"My lord... Lu Xiao's talent is beyond terrifying..."
"He's practically the chosen one of this plane! No, he's an existence that transcends planes!"
Di Tian was filled with worry and whispered:
"This child's talent is so extraordinary; as he grows up, he will likely become the greatest enemy of our soul beast race..."
Gu Yuena slowly shook her head, her eyes solemn yet filled with a glimmer of hope.
"Don't worry."
"A catastrophe is coming to the spirit world, a realm far more terrifying than the divine realm or even humanity."
"In the Marriage Space, I joined forces with Lu Xiao to barely repel a projection clone from the Spirit Realm."
"If the spirit army descends, even if I recover to the peak of the Dragon God realm, I may not be able to stop them."
"The stronger Lu Xiao is, the greater our chances of survival will be."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the others all fell silent.
Their hearts were filled with resentment.
The Soul Beast race, which has been proud for billions of years, now has to rely on the protection of a human powerhouse...
But they were powerless to change it.
The shadow of the spirit world has long since enveloped the entire plane.
They knew very well that the ultimate annihilation of the Soul Beast race would not come from humans, nor from the realm of gods.
Instead, it came from that unknown and terrifying spirit world.
"Hopefully... Lu Xiao can really hold up this sky."
Gu Yuena sighed softly.
...
The Spirit Hall, the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong sat on the highest throne, looking at Lu Xiao's information on the sky, her face as pale as paper and her whole body ice cold.
Two-year title of Douluo...
Now possessing god-king level combat power...
Three Lives Martial Soul...
One word after another struck her heart like a heavy hammer.
Her once proud twin martial souls, her once proud talent, her once proud Rakshasa God Trial...
In front of Lu Xiao, they are not even dust.
She would be resentful if the enemy was even slightly stronger than her.
If you push her too hard, she'll get angry.
He's much stronger; she'll be wary of him.
But...
So powerful that it is completely unattainable, completely impossible to resist, and beyond even the right to look up to.
Bibi Dong felt only a deep sense of powerlessness.
She couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.
"Beidou Academy...Lu Xiao..."
Bibi Dong closed her eyes.
After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, with only a final trace of determination remaining in them.
We can no longer sit idly by and wait to die!
We must strengthen the Spirit Hall as soon as possible!
She suddenly looked up and shouted sharply at the people below.
"Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo!"
Two figures appeared instantly, bowing respectfully:
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Pass down the order!"
Bibi Dong's voice was cold and urgent.
"The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament will officially begin in one month. Registration is now open!"
"Now, immediately, at once, activate all the power of the Spirit Hall and spread the message throughout the entire Douluo Continent!"
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled, a hint of excitement and solemnity flashing in their eyes.
His Holiness the Pope had previously mentioned that the All-Continent Elite Tournament should be launched ahead of schedule.
I didn't expect it to come so quickly!
One month is an incredibly tight timeframe.
But they knew it in their hearts.
With the strength of Beidou Academy and the Soul Beast Clan being exposed one after another, the position of the Spirit Hall is already in jeopardy.
Only by absorbing fresh blood from the mainland and cultivating more geniuses can the Spirit Hall have a chance to stand firm.
"Yes, sir!"
The two responded and instantly disappeared into the Papal Palace.
Soon, the behemoth that was the Spirit Hall was operating at full capacity.
A month later, the news of the start of the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament swept across the entire Douluo Continent like a whirlwind!
...
Beidou Academy.
Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ao Yin gathered here.
They had already received the message from the Spirit Hall.
Ning Rongrong looked up towards the direction of the secret realm, where Dean Lu Xiao was in seclusion. Then her gaze fell on Li Bai, who was dressed in white, standing to the side.
"Teacher Li Bai."
Ning Rongrong spoke softly, "The Spirit Hall has started the Continental Elite Tournament ahead of schedule. Should we... participate?"
Li Bai took a sip of wine, a casual smile playing on his lips:
"Participate if you want to."
"The prize for the tournament champion is several soul bones; why not take it?"
"Although the competition stipulates that there are seven people in a group, with the strength of the five of you, you can easily sweep the entire continent by adding two more people to make up the numbers."
"Not to mention other academies on the mainland, even the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall is no match for you."
Li Bai's words were understated, yet they carried absolute confidence.
Upon hearing this, all five nodded solemnly.
Their strength is no longer what it used to be.
With the vast resources of Beidou Academy, personal guidance from Dean Lu Xiao, and repeated support from the Tianmu Ranking, the Beidou Academy has been able to provide valuable support.
Each of them has already surpassed the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation in cultivation!
Let alone five people, even if they only send two or three people, it would be enough to sweep all the participating teams!
The only team that needs to be taken a little more seriously is the Spirit Hall team.
But it was only slightly serious.
"Okay! We'll participate!"
"Perfect opportunity to practice on the Spirit Hall people!"
Li Bai chuckled lightly and stood up:
"You all focus on your cultivation and improve your strength. I'll take care of the registration."
The words fell.
The space around Li Bai distorted slightly, and his white robes fluttered.
He transformed into a streak of blue lotus light and vanished from the spot in an instant.
With his god-level power, he had already traversed tens of thousands of miles in just half an hour.
It appeared directly above the main city of the Spirit Hall!
He made no attempt to conceal his power, and his divine strength erupted.
"Buzz!"
Inside the Papal Palace, space was violently distorted.
A figure in white slowly stepped out of the void.
Sword energy soars to the heavens, sword intent reaches the sky!
Even without releasing the slightest bit of killing intent, the temperature in the entire Papal Palace plummeted, and the air froze!
Bibi Dong, sitting on her throne, closed her eyes to rest and ponder her next move.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his expression changing drastically!
My hair stood on end!
A terrifying sword intent, powerful enough to suffocate her, instantly locked onto her!
She let out a fierce shout, her soul power erupted wildly, and her twin martial souls instantly possessed her!
"who?"
"How dare you trespass into the Pope's Palace of the Spirit Hall!"
In front of her, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan turned deathly pale instantly, their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground.
They didn't even have the courage to look up!
It felt as if a world-destroying sword was hanging above my head, ready to fall at any moment!
