Chapter 214 Breaking Through to Title Douluo.
"I'm still too kind."
Jiang Nian sighed softly, leaving this task to Ox-Head and Horse-Face, while he left with Little White.
Only when the moon was high in the sky did all the ghosts enter the Underworld to work for him.
Jiang Nian gained some more pure power, moving closer to becoming a Title Douluo.
"At this rate, I'll probably break through with another 50,000 souls."
After pondering for a while, Jiang Nian prepared to continue to the next city, gathering intelligence to see where there was still war.
That would be much better than wandering around aimlessly.
Day after day, Jiang Nian traveled between cities.
During this time, he encountered two battles, gaining over 10,000 souls.
He was like a cold bystander, watching them kill each other.
Regardless of the outcome, those who died were just ordinary people.
The imperial city continued its nightly revelry.
Jiang Nian watched this scene expressionlessly, busy with his own tasks.
A month later.
A large-scale war was about to break out.
The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire together deployed around 500,000 troops. A massive army faced off on the plains, led by Soul King level generals.
Jiang Nian silently observed them, waiting for the battle to end.
To be honest, this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a grand scene.
He wondered how many people would die next.
"The people suffer when the dynasty prospers, and they suffer when the dynasty falls," Jiang Nian murmured, lying on Xiao Bai's body, watching quietly.
"Dongfang Bai! Today this city belongs to our Star Luo Empire. Surrender now! Your Heaven Dou Empire's royal family is incompetent and tyrannical; you will be destroyed sooner or later because of this!" "Bullshit! Those who eat the emperor's food must serve the emperor! How can we, as men, become traitors?!"
"Foolish!"
Dai Yun sneered, drawing his longsword and launching an attack.
The two armies clashed, and soon the sounds of battle filled the air.
Almost every second, countless people died, the bull-headed and horse-faced men, their eyes glowing with golden light, leading the souls of the dead into the underworld.
Their performance these past few days had exceeded expectations; they were ecstatic.
Jiang Nian's aura grew increasingly unfathomable, almost reaching the level of a Title Douluo.
Night fell, and the battle ceased.
The last batch of ghosts entered the underworld, and Jiang Nian finally broke through to the Title Douluo realm. Dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. Hail and frost fell intermittently, followed by torrential rain and raging flames.
The people in the city looked at the sky with some confusion, not understanding what was happening.
"I never thought I'd break through my cultivation in this way. It's quite unexpected," Jiang Nian said, stretching and yawning, his long hair flowing freely, his mood increasingly cheerful.
"Next, we need to find the Soul Ring."
"If we can't find it in the Star Dou Great Forest, we'll look elsewhere."
Jiang Nian's eyes narrowed, and he mounted Xiao Bai, leaving the blood-soaked battlefield.
Lake of Life.
The listless Three-Eyed Golden Lion licked its paws, idly staring at the lake water before it, showing no interest in anything.
"Hmm?!"
"It's here!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up, and without waiting for a response, it rushed outside.
The Crimson King, who had just roasted a tiger leg, watched his little ancestor hurry away, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Was it going out to hunt?
Hmm, that's good.
It's always so listless; it breaks his heart to see it like this.
"Wait! Why do I sense a very repulsive aura?"
Crimson King frowned, then suddenly realized something.
"Damn it! It's that human!"
Dropping his food, he hurriedly followed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, cursing and swearing at Jiang Nian's parents.
"I'm speechless... Could this kid have broken through to the Title Douluo level?"
"If that's true, his talent is terrifying..."
Crimson King felt somewhat helpless. He really couldn't understand why his little ancestor had such a good impression of this human. Soul beasts and humans were mortal enemies.
Was it because that kid was special? Did he possess the same power of destiny as the beast...?
Meanwhile, several teams of Soul Masters had just entered the Star Dou Great Forest, chatting and laughing, looking quite relaxed.
"It's good enough to encounter a thousand-year-old Soul Beast in the outer area. Look how scared you are."
"Fire Dance, the Star Dou Great Forest is fraught with danger. Even in the outer area, we must be cautious."
"Yes, yes, teacher."
The red-haired girl pouted, her face full of arrogance.
She had come to find her third Soul Ring, finally able to absorb a thousand-year-old one. She was already looking forward to it.
"I don't know how Saint Jiang Nian could absorb a thousand years' worth of energy with just his second soul ring, it's simply unbelievable..."
Huo Wu sighed softly, a hint of admiration in her eyes.
The image of him killing the wolf bandits was still etched in her mind.
That kind of man was the kind of man she would choose.
Unfortunately, they never saw each other again after that brief farewell.
"Feng Xiangtian, don't get so close to me, you're disturbing my thoughts about Saint Jiang Nian!" Huo Wu scolded the masked man beside her without any politeness, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
"Ah? I... I'm afraid some soul beast might suddenly appear, it's good for me to be by your side to protect you, isn't it?"
"Tch."
Huo Wu proudly turned her head away, looking high and mighty, but the more she acted this way, the more he was drawn to her.
"Hmm? There's a fight ahead, let's go take a look."
Teacher Huo Wang walked ahead and quickly spotted the two people on the ground.
A refined and handsome white-haired man and a quirky little girl.
"Grandpa Sword, it seems like someone's coming." Ning Rongrong glanced at the group and said softly.
"Never mind, just absorb the spirit ring first."
"Okay!"
Chen Xin glanced at the person not far away, not taking it to heart, and sat quietly on a blue stone, watching Ning Rongrong.
"Hiss! It's actually this... the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sword Douluo!"
Huo Wang exclaimed in shock. The attitude of the people around him instantly became respectful. After bowing to Sword Douluo, they quietly left, not daring to disturb the young lady's absorption of the spirit ring.
"Now that the Clear Sky Sect has gone into seclusion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become the strongest sect on the continent. We can't afford to offend them at all."
"I heard that Ning Rongrong is very willful and domineering. Try not to provoke that girl."
"Yes."
Huo Wu's expression was a little unpleasant. Although her status was also noble, it was worlds apart from Ning Rongrong's.
"Hmph~ She's just relying on her family. She's far inferior to the Holy Son!"
Everyone looked at her strangely. Feng Xiangtian suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason.
"Why are you all staring at me? I'm just telling the truth," Huo Wu retorted stubbornly, her pretty face flushing red. She quickened her pace, her breathing slightly rapid.
A moment later, the sounds of birds and beasts echoed from the forest ahead.
The earth trembled.
"Oh no!"
