210: Chapter 210 Supernatural Powers Cannot Overcome Fate! Man's Calculations Are No Match for Heaven's.
"The Hall of Souls actually sent such a powerful expert to deal with Brother Ting!?"
Xiao Yan was incredibly anxious. The thought even flashed through his mind that Xiao Ting should just ignore everything—if Zixiao City was destroyed by Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu, then so be it—and just escape to lie low for a while.
At the Dou Wang level, the gap between each star is not small; one needs a Di-rank Dou Technique to have the energy to fight across levels.
At the Dou Huang level, Dou Zong level, and Dou Zun level, the higher the realm, the greater the gap between each star inevitably becomes.
For so many years, the number of Dou Huang experts in the Jia Ma Empire could be counted on one hand. As for Dou Zong, only one, Yun Shan, had appeared in recent years, and even he relied on the power of the Hun Clan. Moreover, Queen Medusa, strictly speaking, did not count as a Jia Ma Empire expert.
He feared that the gap between each star of a Dou Zun was even greater than the gap between himself and a Dou Zong right now.
Xiao Ting had only just broken through to Dou Zun; he certainly would not be a match for a seven-star Dou Zun from the Hall of Souls.
"Miss Huo Zhi, could you please step in to help?" Xiao Yan hurriedly asked Huo Zhi.
As a young lady from a Dou Di clan, surely she had the strength to not fear a seven-star Dou Zun, right?
If he hadn't misheard, Huo Zhi had just claimed to be Xiao Ting's dao companion, and thus called him "Third Brother."
"If there is a need, I will certainly step in. If I can't handle it, I'll call a Ban Sheng or a Dou Sheng," Huo Zhi nodded at Xiao Yan. "But right now, there is no need to call for backup; Xiao Ting can resolve this himself."
"How can he resolve it!?" Xiao Yan found Huo Zhi's words somewhat difficult to understand.
Could it be that Xiao Ting, only a one-star Dou Zun, was capable of killing a seven-star Dou Zun across levels?
"Hehehe!"
In the sky, a man's voice filled with coldness echoed.
"Xiao Ting, your talent is very good, but in the face of absolute strength, surrender!"
Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and a smile was on his face beneath his mask.
After the news of the Hall of Souls branch in the Black-Corner Region of the Northwest Continent being destroyed by Brother Xiao was transmitted back to a Di-Sha Hall in the Central Plains, the information was immediately reported by the branch master of that Di-Sha Hall, who asked if he should personally take action to suppress Xiao Ting.
The Hall of Souls had three Tian-Gang Halls and twenty-four Di-Sha Halls. Among them, the Di-Sha Halls had at least two Dou Zun experts stationed there, and the branch masters were at least at the level of a four-star to six-star Dou Zun.
As for ordinary branches, whether a Dou Zun expert was stationed there depended on the importance of the location. Some branches in remote areas, or those serving as communication bridges between Di-Sha Halls, only had Heavenly-rank protectors stationed there.
The Black-Corner Region was a hub between the Central Plains and the Northwest Continent, with a lot of intelligence moving in and out every day, so it had a Dou Zun expert stationed there, only to be killed by Xiao Ting.
The Di-Sha Hall branch master uploaded the report to the Ren Hall, which was ranked last among the Tian-Gang Halls, and Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu was responsible for handling this intelligence.
Upon discovering that Xiao Ting was a Dou Zun under twenty years old, surnamed Xiao, and possessed a Heavenly State Soul, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
With such talent and strength, he was very likely the descendant of the Xiao Clan that the Hall Master had personally ordered to be found.
Even if he wasn't, a possessor of a Heavenly State Soul would yield a substantial reward upon being turned in.
He did not arrange for his subordinates to capture Xiao Ting, nor did he upload the intelligence; he prepared to take action personally to capture Xiao Ting and monopolize the benefits.
"Hmm!?"
Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu was imagining the scene where he received the reward and broke through to an eight-star Dou Zun, eventually catching up to and surpassing the Eighth Celestial, Seventh Celestial, and others, when he suddenly felt the temperature around him skyrocket.
Following that, he discovered with terror that the energy of the world within a hundred-mile radius was surging. All the rainwater he had created that carried the power of soul-devouring was enveloped by purple flames and rapidly dissipated.
Boom!
Directly above the dark clouds, a massive three-legged cauldron suddenly appeared.
This cauldron stood in the void, its formidable power suppressing this piece of heaven and earth.
The thunder power within the dark clouds, under the guidance of this cauldron, became extremely violent, yet inexplicably orderly. They all transformed into giant lightning pythons hundreds of feet long, surrounding Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu from all directions.
Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu: "..."
This shouldn't be the means a one-star Dou Zun should possess, right?
"Ninth Heavenly Venerable of the Hall of Souls, Mo Yu?" Xiao Ting's voice rang out from within the dark clouds.
"Correct!" A tremendous sense of crisis arose in Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu's heart, and he immediately announced his identity: "Xiao Ting, this seat is the Ninth Heavenly Venerable of the Hall of Souls. You dared to suppress and kill the branch master of our Hall of Souls in the Black-Corner Region; this matter has already attracted the attention of the Hall Master."
"If you obediently surrender now and return to the Hall of Souls with me to kneel and repent, as long as you agree to serve the Hall of Souls, perhaps there is still a glimmer of survival. Do not persist in your mistakes."
"Ridiculous." Xiao Ting's voice echoed across heaven and earth: "Soul Mie Sheng is a Four-Star Dou Sheng; how would he have the time to pay attention to the destruction of a single branch in the Northwest Continent?"
"Not to mention that the intelligence you received states I am only a one-star Dou Zun; even if I were a Ban Sheng or a One-Star Dou Sheng, I would not be qualified for him to personally come out and take action."
"To be honest, that this matter could make you, Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu, come personally is already somewhat beyond my expectations. Most likely, you just thought there was profit to be made."
Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu: "..."
Why does this Xiao Ting seem to understand the Hall of Souls so well?
[Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu is truly hilarious, actually trying to use Soul Mie Sheng to scare me.]
[Not to mention that Soul Mie Sheng has probably already broken through to a Five-Star Dou Sheng by now and is practicing a secret technique to hide his strength in preparation for acquiring the Purification Lotus Demon Flame later.]
[Just speaking of the tradition of the Hall of Souls, it is a top-tier outsourcing organization famous throughout the heavens and myriad worlds.]
[After learning the information about Xiao Yan, Soul Mie Sheng sent the Vice Hall Master to capture him, and the Vice Hall Master sent the Grand Heavenly Lord to capture him.]
[The Grand Heavenly Lord sent the Second Celestial, the Second Celestial sent the Fourth Celestial, the Fourth Celestial sent the Eighth Celestial and Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu, Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu sent the Di-Sha Hall branch master to take action, and the branch master arranged for protectors to take action.]
[The result is just sending people all the way; by the time Soul Mie Sheng reacted, Third Brother already possessed the strength to fight him.]
[This matter is the same when applied to the Hun Clan; Hun Tiandi and Uncle Gu Yuan, the two heroes, stood side by side for a thousand years, only for them to be sealed by Brother Yan in the end.]
[But when it comes down to it, it is still because Hun Tiandi and the Hun Clan do not have a god's-eye view; they don't know that Third Brother has the protagonist's halo and is the Child of Destiny.]
[In Hun Tiandi's heart, he even killed the ancestor Xiao Xuan, who was once half a line stronger than him and the closest to a Dou Di, and caused the Xiao Family to completely vanish.]
[Even if Third Brother is a genius, could he possibly be stronger than the ancestor Xiao Xuan?]
[Because of a little talent, he, Hun Tiandi, would make a big fuss; this is clearly being overly suspicious.]
[Hun Tiandi even has extraordinary means; he not only planned to become a Dou Di but even considered the situation of a second Dou Di appearing on the Fighting Qi Continent in advance, but he could not overcome the protagonist's halo.]
[Who could have imagined that Third Brother obtained the inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor and broke through directly from a Seven-Star Dou Sheng to a Dou Di.]
[And because he obtained twenty-two types of Heavenly Flames, his realm is also very stable, even more stable than Hun Tiandi, who broke through by taking drugs.]
[Facing the Emperor-Slaying Formation, he also has the Eternal Heavenly Flame Ruler created by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, utilizing all the Heavenly Flames, with extremely terrifying power.]
[In the end, man proposes, God disposes.]
[For example, right now, Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu thinks he can easily capture me by coming here with the strength of a seven-star Dou Zun.]
[But in reality, he is just an ant!]
