Douluo: I am the True Master

Hao Tian Sect –

Within the Star Luo Region, the atmosphere in the Hao Tian Sect was somewhat oppressive.

The battles of peerless Douluo could still affect an area spanning over ten kilometers, and even soul masters with keen senses a hundred kilometers away might detect abnormalities in the fight.

As for divine battles—there was no need to elaborate further.

What kind of god couldn't destroy a city wall? That mainly depended on what the wall was made of.

In the future, so-called god-destroying-level soul-guided cannonballs would be capable of leveling the entire Shrek Academy—a terrifying existence. Yet, such weapons were at most equivalent to Tier-3 gods.

At this moment, due to Tang San's underhanded manipulations, the difficulty of the divine trials had been drastically reduced. The three gods who had inherited Tier-2 divine positions now sat solemnly in the Hao Tian Sect's meeting hall.

Er Ming, seated at the head of the table, finally lost his patience. Slamming his hand on the table, he stood up abruptly.

"We can't wait any longer! I can no longer sense Big Brother's presence, and the enemy is still continuously expending divine power. Big Brother's situation must be dire—we need to hurry and provide reinforcements!"

To Er Ming's surprise, Die Shen (Butterfly God) and Hu Shen (Tiger God) exchanged glances but remained silent, sitting motionless.

Seeing their lack of response, Er Ming's expression twitched, and he asked incredulously:

"Are you really going to stand idly by? Da Ming is our comrade!"

Since neither responded, and considering that Die Shen was a noblewoman from a fallen aristocratic family, Er Ming didn't dare grab her clothes. Instead, he seized Hu Shen by the collar and demanded:

"Speak!"

After surviving as one of the last stragglers and ascending to godhood, Hu Shen initially felt elated. However, he quickly realized there was no such thing as a free lunch.

If he could, he'd rather stay out of trouble.

After all, even though the direct superior of the Hao Tian Sect was Tang San—the once-mighty Sea God—Hu Shen viewed him as far inferior to the currently dominant Tian Xing Federation on the Douluo Continent.

And now he understood: gods were not allowed to interfere casually in the affairs of the Douluo Continent.

Before officially launching their campaign, Da Ming had been brimming with confidence. But judging from the fluctuations of the battle now, it was clear that he was trapped in a deadlock, waiting for them to rescue him.

Hu Shen inwardly sighed. Look at that—the Tian Xing Federation, which had unified the continent, clearly wasn't a bunch of nobodies. 

As for rescuing him? Without a direct order from their superior, Hu Shen really didn't want to budge.

And as for Er Ming?

Hmph. Hu Shen only stayed silent out of respect for him as a senior.

But now, being grabbed by the collar! Even someone as mild-mannered as Hu Shen couldn't tolerate it. With a flick of his wrist, he slapped Er Ming's hand away and coldly retorted:

"Don't touch me! We're not your subordinates. If you want to save him, go ahead yourself. If you want us to act, call the young master here. Otherwise, we won't violate the original plan by acting rashly."

Being outright rejected like this left Er Ming's face flushed with embarrassment.

But Er Ming was no longer the naive monkey from ten thousand years ago. Seeing Die Shen nodding slightly in agreement, he could only grit his teeth and remain silent.

As for summoning Tang Wulin to issue orders, it was impossible at this stage.

Unlike the hastily promoted four, Tang Wulin was Tang San's carefully nurtured candidate for the position of God King. He was currently undergoing the highly challenging dual divine position trials.

However, decades of camaraderie and life-and-death struggles with Da Ming caused Er Ming to quickly abandon any cost-benefit analysis. Pushing off the ground with tremendous force, he transformed into a streak of black light and shot toward Da Ming's location.

Hu Shen and Die Shen exchanged a glance, both sighing deeply.

They weren't common laborers; they had received higher education. Moreover, after experiencing the fall of their nation, the instinct to weigh pros and cons had been deeply ingrained in their bones.

Besides, they weren't like Da Ming or Er Ming, who had ample time to rely on divine power to reach the peak of Divine Official cultivation. They were merely ordinary Level 100 Divine Officials.

With Da Ming—their strongest ally—already defeated, if they went in now, they'd only become trophies for the enemy. Why bother?

If their boss weren't currently in the God Realm, they would have abandoned everything and ascended directly. Now, they were constantly worried about being dragged into a divine war and perishing on the spot.

Working was truly miserable~

But they didn't realize that if they intervened in Da Ming's battle now, their strength would easily tip the scales of victory.

Still, even Er Ming alone was enough.

Desperate and burning with urgency, Er Ming minimized his own gravity to the extreme, moving at maximum speed toward the battlefield without any resistance.

Upon arriving, he didn't see Da Ming but instead noticed the strange closed-type domain.

Sometimes, fools not only had good luck but also astonishingly accurate intuition.

Er Ming instantly transformed into his martial soul's true form—a colossal Titan Ape resembling a mountain!

"Da Ming, I'm here to save you!"

With those words, the Titan Ape slammed a massive fist into the outer wall of Xiao Xiao's domain.

The strength of a closed-type domain, both inside and out, was controlled by the soul master casting it. Caught off guard while fully focused on maintaining the internal battle and awaiting reinforcements, Xiao Xiao's domain—was shattered!!!

A domain, being the closest skill a soul master had to their martial soul, inflicted backlash when broken. Xiao Xiao coughed up a mouthful of blood!

"Who?" Xiao Xiao, shocked, turned toward the breach in the domain.

A giant Titan Ape?

No, it was the true body of a martial soul!

One snake, one ape—Xiao Xiao vaguely recalled their identities.

While the domain hadn't completely collapsed, Xiao Xiao briefly considered whether she should pull Er Ming inside and repair the domain to suppress both of them.

But she quickly came to her senses.

Suppressing Da Ming alone had already been difficult enough, let alone Er Ming, who could shatter the outer shell of her domain with a single punch.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao voluntarily dispelled the remaining domain and attempted to create distance between herself and the two.

However, the now-clear-headed Da Ming reverted to his original form and shouted to Er Ming, "Quick, take me away!"

Out of habit from years of cooperation, Er Ming didn't hesitate. Grabbing Da Ming, he transformed into a streak of black light and fled immediately.

Xiao Xiao stood there in stunned silence for a moment. Her condition wasn't great either, but despite being able to forcibly engage them, she decided against it.

For a youthful and beautiful girl like her, fighting and killing were truly unpleasant.

Still, she couldn't let them off scot-free. Daring to attack members of the Tian Xing Federation was a death sentence in itself!

Soon, Xu Jiujiu finally arrived on the scene. Looking at Daluo City, which had nearly been leveled, her expression darkened.

However, seeing her two injured sisters-in-arms brought her some relief.

A city could be rebuilt, but losing her dear sisters was unacceptable.

Thus, the battle of Daluo City concluded with the fall of two Title Douluo from the Hao Tian Sect and serious injuries to two key members of the Tian Xing Knights.

Afterward, including the Hao Tian Sect and the Tang Corporation, a group of forces were classified as evil soul master factions!
