Chapter 457.

Tang San nodded firmly.

'Brother Feng could accelerate the growth of immortal herbs and possessed the inner core of ancient spirit beasts. These were all fundamental guarantees for what lay ahead.'

"Actually, what you did back then was already good enough," Da Ming said, his tone noticeably calmer than Er Ming's.

"You waited patiently for the right opportunity. The best moment to escape was when that man in white appeared. He was mysterious and incredibly powerful. If you had taken Xiao Wu and the others at that exact moment, it would have been the best possible outcome."

Unlike Er Ming, Da Ming was more thoughtful.

Given the circumstances, Tang San's timing had been near perfect.

There was no better moment to escape than that.

However—

The Star Five-Headed Dragon had been too unpredictable, launching two consecutive devastating energy blasts.

That had been an unexpected variable, something even Tang San couldn't have foreseen.

"Besides," Da Ming sighed, "that beast's attacks were incredibly powerful. Whether it was you or Xiao Wu, if either of you had taken a direct hit, you wouldn't have survived."

He paused for a moment, then added—

"But you chose to stand by Xiao Wu in the end, willing to die for her. Xiao Wu's sacrifice for you… We don't blame you for it. The bond between you, me, and Er Ming—we understand it completely."

Da Ming's voice grew solemn.

"Keep moving forward, boy. Your journey is far from over, and your enemies are only getting stronger..."

The Supreme Pontiff Palace.

SLAM!

The sharp sound of a palm striking the armrest of the throne echoed through the grand hall.

Bibi Dong's expression darkened, her golden pupils contracting in shock.

"What? Four 100,000 year soul beasts?!"

She listened intently as the six Titled Douluo reported the staggering news.

For a moment—

She was too stunned to even speak.

How could this be possible?

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was already rare enough.

In all her years, she had only encountered one of them.

She had expected that the infant soul beast, which had transformed into a humanoid form, would likely have high-level soul beasts watching over it.

But this?

Four of them?

It was unbelievable.

Snake Lance Douluo stepped forward, his voice steady but grave.

"Based on our assessment, two of these hundred-thousand-year soul beasts seem to be directly connected to the humanoid soul beast."

He took a breath before continuing.

"One is the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape. The other is the Emperor of the Forest, the Azure Sky Bull Python."

These names alone carried immense weight in the soul beast world.

"As for the other two," Snake Lance Douluo continued, "their aura was incredibly dark, cruel, and terrifying. Not only are they just as powerful, but they may even be stronger."

Qianjun Douluo, his face pale and exhausted, coughed twice before speaking.

"When we arrived, these four 100,000 year-old soul beasts were already engaged in battle."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong fell into deep thought.

This was far beyond what she had anticipated.

She had never imagined that four soul beasts of this level would appear at once—

And each one was stronger than the last.

Qianjun Douluo's voice was tinged with frustration as he added—

"That humanoid soul beast is exceptionally cunning. It deliberately lured these four monsters to the battlefield, ensuring that we were completely trapped."

Bibi Dong remained silent, her sharp mind already processing the implications.

Four 100,000 year soul beasts...

This changes everything.

"How did you manage to escape?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo, standing beside Bibi Dong, cast a sharp gaze at the six returning Title Douluo.

Four 100,000-year soul beasts...

Even if he had been present, retreating from such a battlefield would have been an immense challenge.

But these six alone?

It should have been impossible for them to withstand the sheer power of four 100,000 year-old soul beasts.

The overwhelming pressure of their domains alone should have made escape nearly impossible.

Qianjun Douluo took a deep breath, a flicker of awe appearing in his eyes.

"It was Lord White Pontiff."

His reverence did not go unnoticed—Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened.

"Lord White Pontiff still possesses a second martial soul."

The words sent a jolt through the grand hall.

Bibi Dong's expression shifted subtly.

"Twin martial souls?" she murmured, eyes flashing with a mixture of intrigue and shock. "What is his second martial soul?"

Qianjun Douluo's voice remained steady as he answered.

"It's a kind of flag."

At this, Bibi Dong's pupils contracted slightly.

"A flag?"

Qianjun Douluo continued, his tone laced with certainty.

"When the flag appeared, the domains of three 100,000 year soul beasts were instantly dispelled. The violent turbulence in our spirit power was immediately calmed, allowing us to recover and retreat swiftly. And, more importantly, the flag seemed to exert a deterrent effect on soul beasts."

His words left no room for doubt, and the other Titled Douluo nodded in silent confirmation.

For a brief moment, silence filled the throne room.

Bibi Dong's fingers tapped lightly against the armrest.

"A flag that can nullify domains?" she muttered, an unreadable emotion flickering across her face.

"Possessing such a powerful ability... I've never heard of a martial soul like this before."

Golden Crocodile Douluo remained equally stunned, his aged eyes narrowing in contemplation.

"Could this be a special type of domain ability?" he mused aloud.

Qianjun Douluo hesitated, then nodded.

"That seems likely. The flag covered a vast area—far greater than an ordinary domain."

Another heavy silence followed.

Both Bibi Dong and Golden Crocodile Douluo exchanged a glance.

One thing was certain—

White Pontiff strength had yet to be fully revealed.

And that was both exhilarating... and deeply unsettling.

Neither of them had ever heard of such a powerful martial soul.

After a brief silence, Bibi Dong asked, "What about the others...?"

The failure of this plan was entirely due to the four 100,000 year-old soul beasts. It was already a miracle that the entire army wasn't wiped out upon encountering them. Otherwise, all six Titled Douluo would have perished in battle, and the loss of over thirty high-level soul masters would have dealt a devastating blow to the Soul Hall's overall strength.

"Lord White Pontiff didn't..."

The six Titled Douluo were at a loss for words as they all bowed their head in shame.

Seeing their silence, Bibi Dong understood immediately. The others were undoubtedly gone. That terrifyingly powerful soul must have expended an immense –amount of energy. At best, he could only temporarily deter his enemies, but escaping from them...

That was impossible.

Once his strength was exhausted, facing an onslaught from four 100,000 year-old soul beasts, even Golden Crocodile Douluo wouldn't have a chance of survival.

"No! He's not dead! He won't die!"

At that moment, Hu Liena, who had remained silent until now, suddenly shouted in anger. 

"Even in the life-threatening trials of Hell Road, he managed to bring me out safely. There's no way he would die here!"

Her furious outburst left the six Titled Douluo even more speechless.

Bibi Dong let out a quiet sigh, deep in thought. This Wang Wu was truly a rare kind of man.

He was proud, powerful, and seemingly devoid of emotion. But once he set his mind on something, he was unwavering in his resolve—never straying from his path.

Such a person was incredibly rare. Bibi Dong had never encountered anyone like him before.

She thought back to everything that had happened since Wang Wu joined them.

Whether it was patrolling the entire continent, forcing the lower four sects into submission—so much so that they now followed the Soul Hall with unwavering loyalty—or leading the Soul-Hunting Operation, he had executed everything with precision.

Although the Soul Hunting Operation ultimately failed, there was nothing that could be done about it. Wang Feng was still alive—that was the biggest flaw in the plan.

Even so, despite the plan's exposure, the Soul Hall suffered no real losses. However, this latest attempt at hunting the soul beasts had also failed. It was as if fate itself was not on their side.

Bibi Dong wasn't sure who to blame.

No plan was ever perfect.

Yet, even with two failed operations, White Pontiff Wang Wu had done everything in his power to preserve the Soul Hall's core strength.

'If only I had met Wang Wu earlier…'

Bibi Dong sighed internally. 'If that were the case, the Seven Great Sects wouldn't exist today!'

Just then, a cardinal rushed into the hall, his voice trembling as he reported:

"Your Majesty! News has arrived from outside—His Excellency, Lord White Pontiff... he has appeared!"

The hall fell into complete silence.

Hu Liena immediately turned to the cardinal and demanded, "What did you just say?!"
