Looking at Qian Dao Liu, who was laughing without restraint, Serpent Spear Douluo even had a moment when he thought the other person had gone crazy…
But he couldn't help but remind, "Grand Elder??"
Qian Dao Liu regained his composure and covered his mouth to cough, "Cough cough... that thing, if it gets out, you know what the consequences would be, right?"
Serpent Spear Douluo was somewhat befuddled. That thing?
Was it about Xu Sheng's origins, or the other's clownish behavior just now??
However, he wouldn't be foolish enough to ask directly and nodded, "Don't worry, Grand Elder, I will keep this secret!!"
Only then did Qian Dao Liu nod in satisfaction and then ordered, "Now go and call Gold Crocodile Douluo over. I have something to discuss with him!"
But just as he finished speaking, he slapped his own forehead, "Almost forgot, you have to return to the Tiandou Empire Palace, right? I'd better find Jin E myself!"
The corners of Serpent Spear Douluo's mouth twitched uncontrollably...
That was it. The image of the former in his mind collapsed completely within a mere few minutes…
Even if he told someone, no one would believe that the Grand Elder who controlled the Worship Hall with his strength was actually a clown!!
Not daring to stay any longer, he took a deep breath, "Yes, Grand Elder, then I'll take my leave!!"
Just as he took a step, Qian Dao Liu stopped him, "Wait, on your return, make sure to treat Xu Sheng well, understand?"
"As long as his demands aren't too excessive, try to satisfy them!"
The key to Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood might be in him!
He didn't want the Worship Hall to interfere with her future!
Serpent Spear Douluo no longer wanted to make any further comment, simply gesturing and then disappearing from the Worship Hall in a flash...
Almost the moment his presence vanished, Qian Dao Liu could no longer suppress the smile on his face...
"Hahaha, who would've thought, who would've thought, Ren Xue would actually become a legend, a God, stepping beyond what even I myself could not achieve!!"
But which godhood would Ren Xue inherit? The Angel God? Hmm, very likely!!
…
Meanwhile, the abyssal creatures that fled the mountains were now looking greedily at the town ahead...
"Those must be the humans the Great Abyssal Emperor spoke of, they look rather delicious," one creature remarked.
"Hmm, these creatures' bodies seem very similar to ours, no... they're exactly the same. Are we really going to attack?" another questioned.
"Hmph, don't forget we are abyssal creatures, destined to be the rulers of this continent, not comparable to these so-called humans!" another snorted.
"I will do whatever the Great Abyssal Emperor commands, even if it means killing all these people here!" another vowed.
Observing their expressions, the Abyssal Emperor sneered...
And then proclaimed, "The essence of humans is far more refined than that of our kind. Devouring them will quickly increase your strength!!"
He had observed that in this era, Soul Masters were just a minority, and there were no pesky soul tools!
Because of this, all humans were like lambs to the slaughter before abyssal creatures, with no chance of resistance!!
At these words, the just recently dissatisfied abyssal creatures' eyes became fiercely bloodthirsty, their rapid breathing as if to say they couldn't hold back any longer…
The Abyssal Emperor raised the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss in his hand, and a powerful pitch-black light descended from the heavens, instantly turning a portion of people in front of him into a pool of blood...
The whole scene turned into a purgatory...
"Go, devour them, make them a part of you!" the Emperor commanded.
Unrestrained, the abyssal creatures charged madly towards the civilians ahead, tearing and biting furiously...
This spectacle struck terror in the other civilians...
They exclaimed in horror, "What... what's happening? These people are actually eating their own kind!!"
"Run... run fast, these creatures have gone mad!"
"So... so disgusting, we must... must leave; if we continue to stay here, they will kill us!!"
The civilians snapped out of their daze and began to flee in all directions...
Just as they were about to vanish from sight, the Abyssal Emperor spoke with a cold tone, "You humans are no better than ants; it is your honor to be our sustenance, yet you still dare to resist!"
The Abyssal Emperor then once again channeled power into the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss, and the whole space was covered by an invisible force, which slowly formed a huge barrier, completely sealing off the interior...
The civilians also realized that something was wrong and frantically launched attacks...
But they were unable to leave even the slightest mark...
"Damn it, there's clearly nothing there; why can't we escape? What on earth is this??"
"What should we do, I... I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Someone save me, save me!!!"
Without a doubt, what awaited them was a merciless hunt...
...
When the Martial Soul Hall's Soul Masters arrived at this place, they were all shocked by the scene before them...
Blood flowed like rivers, devastation as far as the eye could see!
It could be said that no place was left intact!!
One of the men swallowed hard and mustered the courage to say, "What... what on earth happened here? It's like a Battleground!"
A woman next to him was also pale, speaking with a trembling voice, "It's... it's terrifying,"
"Wait, look closely at the bodies here; it seems they have all been gnawed on. This might not be as simple as it seems!!"
"Hiss, it does seem like that. Thus, we can infer that this was not the work of humans!"
"That's right, there's no trace of the aura of human Soul Masters here!!"
"So, what should we do? Report back to the Martial Soul Hall headquarters?"
"Of course, how could we handle this?! This has to be decided by His Holiness, the Pope!"
...
The next day!
Martial Soul Hall!!
Bi Bidong, seated on the Pope's Chair, looked at Hulena and others before her...
With a somewhat appreciative tone, she said, "Not bad, it seems you have all worked hard during this period, and your soul power ranks have improved differently!"
Hulena respectfully replied, "This is all thanks to your teachings, Teacher; otherwise, we would not have seen such significant improvement!"
Flame and Evil Moon nodded in agreement...
Just then, Yueguan hurriedly entered the hall, bowed, and appeared somewhat anxious...
"Your Holiness, I have urgent news to report!"
Seeing his distress, Bi Bidong also realized something was amiss and calmly said, "The rest of you may leave."
"Yes, Teacher!"
With a brief gesture, Hulena and the others turned and left...
Only then did Bi Bidong turn her Beautiful Eyes towards Yueguan, "Yueguan, what is so urgent?"
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Your Holiness, according to the reports from the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall within the Barak Empire territory..."
