Chapter 223 Rakshasa Nine Tests (Please Subscribe)_1
The Sea God's Trident, stained with blood, became eerily unusual. Then, Xu Sheng's gaze swept over the headless corpse lying on the ground...
Suddenly, with a thought, the purplish-black fog around him slowly dispersed...
Outside, Poseissi's voice rang out abruptly, "Xu... Xu Sheng??"
Poseissi looked at Xu Sheng, who was shrouded in purplish-black fog, with a body full of a destructive aura, with a stunned expression...
After making eye contact with Xu Sheng's dark pupils for a moment, Poseissi felt a vast and terrifying pressure assail her...
She wondered to herself, "Is this person really Xu Sheng? His body is filled with such a terrifying evil aura..."
Xu Sheng's cold eyes swept over Poseissi. Then, the purplish-black fog enveloping his body dissipated, his pupils regained vitality, and his entire aura returned to normal...
Only the Sea God's Trident in his hand still emitted a black glow, as if it had been assimilated by the aura of destruction...
Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Grand Elder, what brings you here?"
Poseissi replied with a grave expression, "I felt the presence of a god, so I rushed over... Is this person the Third-Rank God you spoke of?"
The divine power that had just burst forth from Sea God's Island had even made her feel a strong sense of life-and-death danger!
If it were her facing it, the chance of survival would be less than one percent!
Xu Sheng nodded and put away the Sea God's Trident...
He explained to Poseissi while staring at her, "Yes, he is that god, but not a Third-Rank God, he's a Second-Level God!"
Poseissi's pupils contracted, and her captivating voice revealed a hint of astonishment, "A Second-Level God?? So, you used the power of a Higher Realm God to..."
No wonder such an evil and pure aura had appeared on Xu Sheng...
What exactly is his God Position??
Xu Sheng nodded, "Yes! But there's no need to discuss this now. This fellow probably released something like a formation on Sea God's Island, intending to devour all the creatures and everything on it."
After the death of this Second-Level God, his divine power revealed these things, which were now exposed under the perception of spiritual power!
However, after recovering, Xu Sheng's spiritual power was still constrained by Sea God's Island!
The Grand Elder slowly closed her eyes, allowing her spiritual power to spread across the entire Sea God's Island...
After a while, she opened her eyes, as deep as the ocean...
She felt it!
...
Inside the Pope Hall...
The elders of the Hall of Martial Souls, including Snake Spear and Porcupine, were standing there!
And the one sitting on the Pope's Chair was none other than the stunningly beautiful Bi Bidong...
At this moment, her expression was inscrutable...
Snake Spear respectfully said, "Your Holiness, the Tiandou Empire has now been renamed the Martial Soul Empire!"
"However, the people of the Tiandou Empire seem to have guessed something, and they all seem very opposed."
Porcupine also chimed in, "That's right. I'm afraid if this continues, a large number of the people of Tiandou Empire will leave for the Xingluo Empire!"
Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light as she said indifferently, "As long as the martial strength of the Tiandou Empire falls under the control of the Spirit Hall, that's enough. These useless people, if they leave, then let them leave!"
To Bi Bidong, who wasn't concerned about those who were of no use to her plan, had not a single thought in her heart!
Once the Spirit Hall had annihilated Xingluo Empire, and merged it into the Martial Soul Empire, what could these people with no say do besides comply?
Citun nodded, took a deep breath, and spoke again, "I understand, Your Holiness. However, there is another important matter that I need to report to you!"
Bi Bidong's sharp gaze focused on Citun's face, "Speak!"
Citun met Snake Spear's gaze, braced himself for a reprimand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Holiness, Xue Qinghe, he... he jumped from a high building and died on impact!"
As the words fell, the other Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls, who were discussing in low voices, all closed their mouths, sensing the calm before a storm...
Bi Bidong looked at the two for a long while before speaking coldly, "It doesn't matter, Xue Qinghe was doomed to be eliminated anyway; his existence was solely for the purpose of stabilizing the situation in the Tiandou Empire!"
Citun and Snake Spear both breathed a sigh of relief...
They had been expecting a torrent of angry rebukes...
It appeared they had dodged the bullet of being blamed for their lack of vigilance...
Seeing the atmosphere turn somewhat awkward, the Red-robed Guardian spoke up under pressure, "Your Holiness, now that we have complete control over the Tiandou Empire, what is the next step??"
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she spoke softly, "Now, our main objective is to absorb all Soul Masters who had ever registered with the Martial Soul Hall from the Xingluo Empire..."
Xingluo Empire's high-end combat forces were already few; now, by reabsorbing nearly two-thirds of its Soul Masters back into Martial Soul Hall, the Xingluo Empire would become an item that could easily be grasped in hand!
After all, compared to the Continent's commoners, the number of Soul Masters is still less than one percent!
If we were to attack Xingluo Empire by force, it would lead the already scarce Soul Masters to the edge of extinction!
Therefore, all matters related to war must be approached with caution!
Yueguan flattering said, "It's still Your Holiness who has thought everything through. It seems the unification of the Continent won't be long now!"
Gui Mei chimed in, "That's right, the citizens of both the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire should all be grateful to you. Otherwise, wars between nations on the Continent might still occur!"
Bi Bidong suddenly seemed to recall something, her gaze shifting to Gui Mei's figure, "Elder Gui, how is the progress of the Golden Generation within the Martial Soul Academy?"
Gui Mei slowly replied, "The Holy Daughter had just broken through the sixty-level mark a few days ago, stepping into the realm of the Soul Emperor, and both Flame and Evil Moon have reached level 61 in Soul Power!"
Bi Bidong's eyes flashed with a hint of approval. "Not bad."
At this age, having already reached the level of Soul Emperor, it shouldn't be difficult for any of the three to aim for the Title Douluo tier in the future!
Yueguan coughed, "However, recently it appears that the Holy Daughter and the others can no longer bear being confined... oh no, grounded in the Martial Soul Academy!"
It was more than just impatience; they were already capable of leaving the Martial Soul Academy without permission!
If it hadn't been for Yueguan witnessing it with his own eyes that day, he would have thought, like Gui Mei, that the three of them were focusing on their cultivation...
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong slowly turned her head to look at Yueguan, furrowing her beautiful brows, "Yueguan? Why do I feel there is more to your words?"
Yueguan didn't rush to speak but walked up respectfully, leaned close to Bi Bidong and whispered into her ear, "Your Holiness..."
He felt that in such a setting, it was still necessary to save face for the three individuals of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation!
Otherwise, the members of the Elder Hall, who already disliked Hulena and the others, would only speak more harshly!
After listening, Bi Bidong's expression remained unchanged, and she nodded slightly, "Mhm, I understand."
Then, she grasped the Purple Crystal Scepter and stood up, her gaze sweeping over the Elders below as she instructed softly, "For the next half-month, I will rely on you, Elders. I have an important task to complete!"
She had already passed the Rakshasa Eight Trials, and now she needed to focus on the challenge of the Rakshasa Ninth Trial!
Therefore, she had no choice but to delegate these matters temporarily!
Upon hearing this, the Elders looked at each other and said one after another, "Yes! Please rest assured, Your Holiness!"
