Chapter 124 - War breaks out

"Secretly attacking the Clear Sky Sect? Bibi Dong, don't forget, this is the soul beast tide. You'd better behave, or I won't hesitate to kill you first."

Qian Daoliu left with a wave of his sleeve. Was the insignificant Clear Sky Sect worth a secret strike from him? Ridiculous. Without Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect was nothing.

Sitting alone in her tent, Bibi Dong leaned back in her chair as candlelight flickered. Behind her golden mask was an expression full of hatred.

Qian Daoliu, such a hypocrite. Why didn't he stand up for justice when Qian Xunji committed such cruel acts? If you won't act, then I will. At this moment, somewhere in the forest outside Beast Control City, three black-robed figures appeared. Neither soul beasts nor humans sensed their arrival.

"High Priest, why are we involving ourselves in the continent's war?"

"This is an order from the Sea God. If Beast City cannot withstand the soul beasts' attack, we must drive them back to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Sea Dragon, Sea Spear, you must be cautious. Once the war begins, I won't have time to protect you."

"Yes."

...

As forces from all sides began to appear one by one, the Beast Emperor no longer hesitated and led the soul beast army, along with the top-ranked beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Except for the three Red Demon Mastiffs who stayed behind, all the other top-ranked soul beasts were present, including several 100,000-year soul beasts. The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were among them. They stared at Bibi Dong, who stood on the walls of Beast City, their eyes red with rage.

The Bear King roared and transformed into a massive dark gold Dreadclaw Bear, leading the soul beast army to charge Beast City.

In this era, without the presence of a level-nine soul guide master, the beasts had nothing to fear. Soul masters below Title Douluo couldn't harm them at all. Ultimately, everything depended on the confrontation between the top-tier combatants of both sides.

Qian Daoliu saw the dark gold Dreadclaw Bear charging toward Beast City and flew into the sky, intending to repel it as before. But suddenly, he sensed a terrifying and deadly pressure.

His body froze in midair, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Six figures appeared above the soul beast army. The black-clothed man in the lead had golden eyes and exuded a pressure even greater than Tang Chen's.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Di Tian."

A powerful aura erupted from Di Tian, and Qian Daoliu's expression changed drastically. There was actually someone stronger among the soul beasts than Tang Chen. This was bad.

The soldiers atop Beast City couldn't even withstand the pressure and were forced to retreat. The Title Douluo could not let Di Tian act so arrogantly, or the morale of their forces would collapse before the battle even began.

Qian Daoliu took the lead, three pairs of golden angel wings spreading behind him. His Angelic Sword burst into dazzling light as he shot toward Di Tian at incredible speed.

"How laughable."

Di Tian's right hand turned into a dragon claw, and he easily blocked Qian Daoliu's strike with his bare flesh. With a casual swipe of his claw, he forced Qian Daoliu back repeatedly.

The strongest human, the true ruler of Spirit Hall, the unmatched level 99 Douluo Qian Daoliu—was actually at a disadvantage in the first clash. No one had expected this.

Poseidon, observing from the nearby forest, hadn't expected this either. Although he had come to Beast City on the Sea God's orders, he thought he was only there as a precaution.

Unexpectedly, the soul beast clan was this powerful. Qian Daoliu's strength rivaled his own. Even though they weren't at sea, Qian Daoliu might even be stronger.

"We can't wait any longer. Sea Dragon, Sea Spear, act according to the situation."

With this command, Bo Saixi appeared in the air, standing beside Qian Daoliu and facing Di Tian with an aura no weaker than his.

The confidence that the human side had lost with Qian Daoliu's retreat returned. They didn't know who this unmatched Douluo was, but knowing she was on their side was enough.

Qian Daoliu glanced at Bo Saixi beside him, surprised. It had been a long time since they had met. He had much to say, but knew now was not the time.

Di Tian only slightly frowned at Bo Saixi's appearance. So what if there are two unmatched Douluo? What did Di Tian have to fear?

The two humans and the beast took the sky as their battlefield. Angelic light, tidal waves, and space-tearing dragon claws collided in a massive explosion of power.

Those below no longer dared to watch their battle. War had begun.

With Qian Daoliu occupied, the Bear King was left to be confronted by the Golden Crocodile, but the latter's arm was broken and he lacked sufficient strength. The Golden Crocodile Douluo was far weaker than the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear and was knocked back right after engaging.

Fortunately, Qingluan Douluo provided timely support, and Guangling Douluo coordinated from the rear. The three worked together to barely stop the Bear King.

Zi Ji transformed into her true form and entered the Spirit Hall battlefield. Lion Douluo barely held her off, with Qianjun and Jiangmo Douluo assisting from the sides. They even managed to temporarily suppress the Hell Dragon King.

Other battlefields also erupted. The Ten Thousand Demon King slowly approached the defensive sector managed by the main sects. His aura was comparable to that of a peak level 98 Douluo, causing alarm.

For a time, wild plants covered the battlefield, and those atop the city wall felt dazed. At this moment, several falling stars descended and struck the Ten Thousand Demon King.

This was a star-attraction technique used by the sect leader—not powerful, but extremely fast—disrupting the Ten Thousand Demon King's rhythm. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shimmered in Ning Fengzhi's hands, and its amplification light fell upon the sect leader and Sword Douluo.

Though both were far weaker than the Ten Thousand Demon King, with Ning Fengzhi's boost, they barely managed to hold him off together.

The two Title Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect looked grim. When the Ten Thousand Demon King first appeared, they knew they couldn't stop him.

Yet someone this strong was held off by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Star Crown Sect. When had their power grown so strong?

For the first time, the sect leader displayed his peak level 97 Douluo strength to the world. Among all Title Douluo present, he ranked in the top five—on par with Qingluan and Xiongshi.

Bibi hovered in the sky, devil spirits guarding her side, just as Bone Douluo protected Ning Fengzhi and Ye Renxin on the city wall.

She hadn't expected the soul beast assault to be blocked by the humans, and even Di Tian was held back.

"Yao Ling, you go too."

"Miss Bibi, what about you?"

"Let him protect me."

Bibi shook her head, her voice clear. A 100,000-year-old Fire Eagle from the soul beast army turned and flew toward Bibi.

Seeing this, Yao Ling no longer hesitated. Surrounded by devil spirits, she dived into the battlefield.
