"Uh... Ah..."
Dai Yueheng let out pained howls, one after another.
He rolled on the ground, round and round.
The Duchess watched from the side, her eyes brimming with tears, yet she dared not approach.
Seconds and minutes ticked by.
After half an hour, Dai Yueheng's body finally began to change.
He slowly floated up, his body emitting powerful soul power fluctuations.
"Did it work, did it really work?"
The Duchess clutched her fists in excitement, muttering nonstop.
Owuuu!
Suddenly.
Dai Yueheng let out a tiger's roar.
Seven soul rings emerged from beneath his feet.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black...
At this moment, Dai Yueheng's cultivation level had reached his former peak, attaining the realm of Soul Sage.
However.
This was not the end.
In the next instant, a golden halo appeared around the soul rings at Dai Yueheng's feet.
Although somewhat illusory, it did indeed look like a soul ring.
Eight soul rings!
Soul Douluo!
The Duchess was overjoyed.
"Yue Heng's cultivation has increased so much."
It was as if she had seen hope anew.
But.
This was just the beginning.
After the eight soul rings, another soul ring appeared beneath Dai Yueheng's feet.
Nine!
Titled Douluo!
"Good, good."
"There is hope for revenge now."
The Duchess spoke excitedly, her words tumbling out incoherently.
At that moment, Dai Yueheng opened his eyes, his gaze icy cold, projecting a sense of alienation that kept the Duchess at a distance.
"Dai Yueheng has indeed been cleansed by my divine power, resolving the problems in his body.
From now on his talent for cultivation will be even more exceptional than before, this is an undeniable fact.
But ultimately, he is still a Soul Sage, not a Titled Douluo.
The two soul rings you see belong to my power."
When Dai Yueheng spoke, it was with Dai Mubai's voice.
As for this.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the Duchess returned to normal, "I shall follow the commands of the great ancestor. The fact that Yue Heng can resume cultivation and elevate his cultivation level is already the greatest blessing.
I express my gratitude to the great ancestor on behalf of Yue Heng."
Having said that, the Duchess knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Dai Mubai.
"Alright, you can get up now."
"I have some matters I need to attend to first."
Dai Yueheng said as his floating body slowly descended to the ground, then headed towards the hall exit.
"Great ancestor, where are you going?"
"If there's anything you need, please tell me, and I will handle it for you."
The Duchess volunteered with utmost eagerness.
Yet.
A mischievous look appeared on Dai Yueheng's face, "Are you serious?
If I told you that I am going to fight a super powerhouse who is at least a level 99, could you take care of that for me?"
There were things to be done, and Dai Mubai dared not forget the instructions of Tang San.
"What, to fight a level 99 powerhouse?"
The Duchess's complexion changed drastically.
"Could there be danger with such a powerful being?"
In her mind, a Titled Douluo was already the pinnacle of this continent.
And a Title Douluo of the Ninety-Ninth Rank, that was akin to a divine existence.
There were only a few on the entire Soul Land.
Such powerhouses were synonymous with invincibility.
"Ignorant woman, a mere Title Douluo of the Ninety-Ninth Rank.
Regardless of how strong a Titled Douluo is, it is still a Titled Douluo, while the current Dai Yueheng, after merging with me, possesses the strength of a demi-god.
Do you know what the concept of a half-god is?
In Soul Land, it represents an invincible existence."
Dai Yueheng sneered coldly.
He thought the Duchess was far too ignorant.
She simply couldn't imagine the level of power at that stage.
"Yes, I understand,"
the Duchess nodded repeatedly, then asked, "And when will you, our esteemed ancestor, return?"
"You can have someone prepare some food and drinks, and get some fine wine ready.
Once you're done preparing, I'll be back."
As Dai Mubai spoke, he walked towards the door, waving his hand at the Duchess without turning around.
The Duchess quickly stood up to see him off.
However.
By the time he reached the door, Dai Yueheng had already disappeared without a trace.
...
On the other side.
At the edge of the Ming Dou Mountain Range.
Niu Tian and Titan were both beaten to the brink of death.
The combat power of Poison Not Dead far exceeded their imagination.
They couldn't understand.
Why could someone who had power surpassing that of the gods stay in Soul Land?
It made no sense.
But what made even less sense was how he broke through the shackles that limited beings in Soul Land and surpassed the level 99 restriction?
"Do you really have no trump cards left?"
Poison Not Dead stood with his arms crossed over his chest, looking down at them from above, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Poison Not Dead, I'd advise you not to be too arrogant. If we had even the slightest means left, you wouldn't be saying those words,"
"If I had any fight left in me, I'd take your life."
Niu Tian and Titan used all their strength to talk tough.
If they weren't outmatched, they'd make sure Poison Not Dead paid.
What a pity.
Now, they could only talk big.
To actually defeat Poison Not Dead, they lacked the strength.
"Boring, this is really too boring."
"Even the Grand Sect Master and Second Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan are no different."
Poison Not Dead shook his head.
He was truly disappointed.
He just wanted to test his own combat power, but found that there was no worthy adversary.
"Being invincible is truly lonely,"
Poison Not Dead said with a shake of his head and a sigh.
Truly disgusting... Who are you trying to impress? Titan secretly criticized.
If he weren't outmatched, he would really like to rip out Poison Not Dead's tongue.
"You've fought, you've vented your anger, now can you spare us brothers?"
At this moment, Niu Tian asked another question.
"Spare you?"
Poison Not Dead's brow raised, "Grand Sect Master, Second Sect Master, do you really think there's still room for negotiation between us?"
"This..."
The expressions of Titan and Niu Tian changed almost simultaneously.
They could see that Poison Not Dead truly wanted them dead.
"As long as you state your terms, we can consider satisfying them."
At this point, Niu Tian had no choice but to swallow his pride.
So what if he was the Grand Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan?
When it came down to it, one had to be pragmatic.
Especially for those who had already died once, life's value was all the more apparent.
Tang San was out of the equation; now, they could only rely on themselves.
They would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
"Hahaha, unless you find someone who can defeat me, there's no way you can escape from me. Also, don't count on me letting you go; that's impossible."
Poison Not Dead's answer was very decisive.
Since Sea God Tang San had made a move against Qin Xiao, anyone associated with Sea God Tang San was an enemy of the Body Sect.
And if they were enemies, they had to be eliminated.
That was the only way to be truly secure.
Not to mention enemies of the caliber of Niu Tian and Titan.
If they were not dead, he would never rest easy.
```
Despair!
Niu Tian and Titan felt deep despair.
"Tang San, what the hell are you doing? Why haven't you come to save us yet."
In their hearts, the brothers had pinned all their hopes on a divine intervention from Tang San.
"Keep shouting, even if you scream your throats out, nobody's going to care about you."
Poison Not Dead sneered, advancing step by step towards the two.
Niu Tian and Titan kept retreating.
They were at the end of their strength and had no capacity to resist anymore.
Retreating was their only way out.
"Hmph, useless garbage, so many years have passed, and you really haven't made any progress, have you?"
Just then, a cold snort sounded.
Both Niu Tian and Titan were stunned.
Poison Not Dead also couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a crack appeared in space, and immediately a figure stepped out.
He was dressed in magnificent attire, with golden hair casually draped over his shoulders.
Surprisingly, his eyes contained double pupils.
"Evil Eye?"
Poison Not Dead was somewhat astonished, "Are you from the White Tiger Clan?"
"But in my memory, there are no experts in the White Tiger Clan capable of tearing through space like this."
It had to be said.
Dai Yueheng was truly powerful.
Possibly due to being prepared, Dai Mubai's incarnation that descended upon Soul Land was much stronger than Tang San's casual arrival.
Even among divine officers in the Divine Realm, he would definitely be a standout.
Tearing through space and crossing over was really not a difficult task for him.
"You, who are you, and why does your voice sound so familiar to me?"
Titan asked, puzzled, his eyes filled with uncertainty as he looked at Dai Mubai.
He felt that the other party was both familiar and strange.
"Titan, don't you remember me?"
Dai Yueheng suddenly turned around.
He shot a look at Titan.
"You, you are... Dai, Dai Mubai..."
Titan's pupils suddenly contracted as he met his gaze.
He recognized the other's identity; Titan had once followed Tang San in the Divine Realm and had met Dai Mubai.
Though they had only met a few times, it had left a deep impression.
"Don't mention knowing me, one level 98 and one level 99, you two together should be considered the strongest combination in Soul Land, right?"
Dai Mubai said with some frustration, "I'm really disappointed in you."
"Two against one, and you almost let him wipe you out, what have you been cultivating all these years, chicken feathers?"
His voice was filled with scorn.
Niu Tian and Titan, upon hearing this, both wore expressions of shame.
Dai Mubai really had a sharp tongue; whatever gratitude they had felt in their hearts vanished in an instant.
Gratitude my ass?
If they weren't at a disadvantage in fighting strength, they would have wanted to rush up and give Dai Mubai a couple of good slaps.
"Dai Mubai?"
Poison Not Dead's eyes lit up, "You're actually not dead? That's really great!"
Poison Not Dead rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Who are you, and am I supposed to be familiar with you?" Dai Mubai frowned and asked.
No, that's not right.
By the looks of it, we should be enemies.
But then again, he was somewhat baffled as to why there would be such an anomaly on Soul Land.
"His name is Poison Not Dead, the Sect Master of the Body Sect, a Martial Soul holder of the self martial soul.
Just a short while ago he was still a level 98 Titled Douluo.
I alone could battle him.
But now, I don't know what happened, his cultivation level has greatly improved, breaking through to level 99, not to mention his combat strength is off the charts."
Before Poison Not Dead could answer, Titan had already introduced Poison Not Dead's identity.
"Is that so?"
```
Dai Mubai's eyebrows raised as he stared at Poison Not Dead and said, "It seems you also have hidden secrets on you.
I am quite curious, what exactly happened to you?"
"Are you very curious?" Poison Not Dead hesitated before asking.
Dai Mubai silently nodded.
Poison Not Dead laughed, "Just because you're curious, I have to tell you? Are we familiar?"
Dai Mubai: "..."
The expression on his face changed from silence to anger.
"You've successfully angered me."
"You're playing with fire, do you know that?"
Dai Mubai's voice was cold as ice, as if it was squeezed through clenched teeth.
When his voice spread, the temperature in the area dropped significantly.
He was truly angry.
He had truly harbored the intent to kill Poison Not Dead.
"Hahaha, hurry up and make a move. I'm already getting impatient."
Poison Not Dead rubbed his hands together excitedly.
At the same time, nine Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet, and the phantom of a Black Dragon emerged behind him.
In that moment, his aura climbed to its peak.
An overwhelming pressure, surpassing that of a Title Douluo of the Ninety-Ninth Rank, made Dai Mubai take notice.
"Could he be this powerful?"
Dai Mubai's pupils were filled with shock.
Previously, he had thought Poison Not Dead was strong.
But he had never considered that Poison Not Dead could be this strong.
It was something even he could not ignore.
"See? It's not that we are too weak, but that the opponent is too strong.
This guy, in terms of strength, is no longer merely human."
At this time, Titan knew he shouldn't stoke someone else's ambition while dampening his own prestige.
However, he also wanted to defend himself, that he and Niu Tian were not trash.
It was just that the enemy was too powerful.
"Hmph, is this it?"
"What's this worth?"
Dai Mubai's expression quickly returned to normal, "Just watch, I will suppress him with a backhand."
As he spoke, his figure disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared above Dai Mubai's head.
However.
An enormous palm shadow emerged as he struck down.
There was a sense of déjà vu, as if Buddha was suppressing the Monkey King.
Though he did not use his Martial Soul or martial skills,
This move was not much weaker than using his Martial Soul and martial skills.
Because his attack was imbued with Divine Power.
"So arrogant, you think you can make me bow?"
Poison Not Dead snorted coldly, his fists rocketing upward in unison.
His posture seemed as if he wanted to shatter the firmament and break all restraints.
The phantom of the Black Dragon behind him also let out an unwilling roar before charging directly at Dai Mubai's unleashed palm.
Boom!
A thunderous roar erupted in the sky.
In the astonished gaze of Niu Tian and Titan, the hand conjured by Dai Mubai's Divine Power instantly shattered, turning into numerous specks of golden light rain, sprinkling down.
On the other hand, Poison Not Dead's momentum was fierce.
"Even gods would bow to me!"
He charged at Dai Mubai without looking back.
"How can he be so powerful?"
"This guy is clearly a mortal, yet he's incredibly outrageous in strength."
The shock in Dai Mubai's pupils lingered for a long time.
The attack he just made, although it seemed casual, was not something a Title Douluo of the Ninety-Ninth Rank could easily withstand.
This is Divine Power.
"Have you gone stupid? Get out of the way!"
Titan on the ground was so anxious, he began yelping. Poison Not Dead's fist was already at hand and still not moving? Was he waiting for a steamed bun to eat?
