Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 329 Thunder Hell Vine

After communicating with Ning Fengzhi and Lin Gong for a while, Yang Xiong left Jialing Pass alone to return to the Body Sect.

The three great empires are currently locked in a stalemate. Rather than staying on the front lines to heal, it would be better to return to one's sect, where other opportunities might arise.

Of course, Yang Xiong also made it clear to Ning Fengzhi and Lin Gong that the war has now reached this point, and neither side is confident of victory. It is likely that the war will be in a stalemate for a long time, with neither side able to defeat the other.

Therefore, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Body School should try their best to preserve their strength. After all, half of the Soul Masters of the entire sect, and even the vast majority of Title Douluo, are on the front line of Jialing Pass. If they all perish, it will probably affect the future development of the sect.

Moreover, Yang Xiong has made it clear that the Heavenly Dou Empire can be supported, but it must be under our own control; otherwise, everything will only benefit others.

This was a decision Yang Xiong made after careful consideration. It should be noted that in the original story, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sacrificed everything for the Battle of Jialing Pass, and even the Sword Bone Douluo perished.

However, ten thousand years later, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was no longer considered a top sect in the world. It was just an ordinary sect, far inferior to the three major powers of the time, and had no influence on the Soul Master world. Furthermore, it left behind no divine legacy.

Even more tragically, none of the Sword Bone Douluo had a successor; not only was their martial spirit not passed down, but they also had no descendants.

In some ways, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not as well-developed as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, at least the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has produced many peerless experts.

Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul gradually faded into obscurity by the time of Douluo II, completely losing the prestige it once held as the number one support Martial Soul ten thousand years ago.

Queen Xueke and Tang Xiao and the others originally wanted to persuade Yang Xiong to stay, but Yang Xiong declined, citing his injuries and needing to return to his sect to recuperate.

With the war reaching this point, the three great empires have begun to consider a ceasefire. Although the Star Luo Emperor launched a fierce attack on Tianmen Pass for a period of time, he did not achieve much, and his millions of troops were suppressed outside Tianmen Pass.

Emperor Xue Ye and Marshal Gordon of the Heaven Dou Empire died in battle. Empress Xue Ke was appointed to the throne in a time of crisis. The Spirit Empire was overthrown. Bibi Dong has returned to Spirit City, while Qian Renxue has been recuperating. The one who is truly in charge of affairs is the Holy Maiden Hu Liena.

Given the current morale of the three great empires, peace talks are perhaps the best course of action. Continuing to fight would damage the very foundation of the empires and could even lead to their destruction.

Moreover, according to Ning Fengzhi, he has discovered that the three great empires are actually holding secret peace talks, but unfortunately there has been no progress so far. After all, all three sides have suffered too many casualties and paid too high a price. If they rush into peace talks, it may affect their morale.

Yang Xiong returned to the Body Sect alone, while the others remained in the front-line military camp. Ning Rongrong followed Ning Fengzhi to handle sect affairs, while Oscar stayed with Lin Gong and Yang Wudi, effectively managing all matters of the Body Sect.

……

After returning to his sect, Yang Xiong did not go back to his main peak, but instead went to the depths of Thunder Canyon.

The entire Thunder Canyon covers a vast area, and the Thunder Nine Peaks soar into the clouds, making it an absolutely rare and formidable natural barrier.

Yang Xiong had already used his divine sense to search the entire Body Sect. There were no hidden dangers in the entire Thunder Nine Peaks, but he could not go deep into the Thunder Canyon.

At this moment, Yang Xiong held the hilt of the Asura Demon Sword and walked towards the depths of Thunder Canyon like an ordinary person.

When Yang Xiong stopped, he had already reached the location of the Thunderous Hell Vine he had encountered before.

In the past, this Thunderous Hell Vine would have been over 100,000 years old. Especially in the special environment of Thunder Canyon, its entire body was covered in lightning, and each vine alone was eighty miles long.

Its entire body is covered with dozens of vines, each of which seems to be full of power, almost occupying the entire canyon, which is tens of meters wide, making it impossible for outsiders to pass through.

Yang Xiong snorted coldly: "Get out of my way, or I'll kill you. With your strength and years of experience, you can definitely understand what I'm saying."

A thunderous roar suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth, accompanied by an angry shout: "Humans, this is my territory, and no one is allowed to pass!"

Yang Xiong laughed and said, "You must have misspoke. The entire Thunder Canyon is now my territory. Everything in the Thunder Canyon belongs to my Body Sect, including you."

The enormous Thunderous Hell Vine was crackling with countless bolts of lightning, all of which gathered at its roots. Gradually, a figure formed from lightning elements appeared in the center of the roots, resembling the face of an extremely rugged middle-aged man.

“Young man, I have been here for tens of thousands of years. No one can break through my defenses, let alone make me listen to you.” Yang Xiong asked doubtfully, “Judging from your age, you should already be stronger than the Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, judging from your surroundings, you must have been here for a very long time. I’m a little curious, why hasn’t anyone thought of hunting you down to obtain your spirit ring?”

"You should know that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has always been domineering. Even if it costs them half of their sect's strength, they will not give up easily after discovering a 100,000-year-old lightning attribute soul beast."

The middle-aged man said, "Are you talking about those humans whose martial souls are lightning-attribute snakes? Their strength is too weak. Even their strongest is far from being my match."

"Furthermore, within this Thunder Canyon, I possess endless lightning and can control the thunder throughout the entire canyon. No one is my match."

Yang Xiong smiled and said, "That's true. This is the first time I've heard of a soul beast claiming to be invincible. Even Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King are no longer in my sights."

"Not to mention you, a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast. Judging from your appearance, you haven't even reached the level of a ferocious beast. What right do you have to be so arrogant?"

The middle-aged face formed by lightning seemed somewhat angry: "Human, what do you mean by that? Do you dare to look down on me?"

Yang Xiong shook his head: "I didn't underestimate you. I'm just a little curious. The Thunderous Hell Vine is known as a soul beast rejected by heaven and earth. Although it is at the top of the plant-type soul beast bloodline and is the number one destroyer of the plant world, it needs to devour lightning to improve itself. Therefore, no Thunderous Hell Vine has ever been able to grow for more than 50,000 years."

"Moreover, it is rumored that the Thunderous Hell Vine possesses the bloodline of the Thunder God and is not threatened by divine punishment, making it an anomaly in the entire Douluo world. How exactly did you grow to the level of 100,000 years? Moreover, I cannot even see through your specific growth period. It seems that the depths of this Thunder Canyon have blocked the connection between heaven and earth."

The middle-aged man looked extremely surprised: "You seem to know a lot, but it's no use knowing so much. In Thunder Canyon, no one is my match."

Yang Xiong couldn't help but sigh: "It seems you really are a frog in a well. I'm a little puzzled. It seems the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan deliberately hid your information. Otherwise, once a 100,000-year-old soul beast appears, it will definitely be hunted down by a large number of people. But I haven't found any record of you in the history of soul masters."

Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng appeared extremely angry: "How dare you! Do you think I really wouldn't dare to kill you? You're just a mere human ant, yet you dare to be so insolent."

The Thunderous Hell Vine pushed out countless branches, like tentacles, and swept directly and rapidly toward Yang Xiong. In particular, each branch was covered with endless lightning, making a crackling sound, as if it were full of infinite explosive power.

At that moment, Yang Xiong's expression changed slightly, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes. A blood-red killing intent erupted from Yang Xiong's body, directly forming a blood-red giant sword.

The giant sword suddenly descended from the sky, and no matter how strong these vines were, they were instantly reduced to nothingness under the blood-red giant sword.

This is Yang Xiong's self-created soul skill, Asura Slash, which he comprehended based on the Killing God Domain, sword energy, and killing intent. It should be more than enough to deal with a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Before the Thunderous Hell Vine could react, the giant sword was already pressed against its root, as if it were about to kill it at any moment.

No matter how fierce Lei Mingyan Yuteng was, his middle-aged face was filled with terror at this moment, clearly indicating that his life and death were in Yang Xiong's hands.

"Can we talk properly now? If you keep spouting nonsense, I don't mind cutting all these vines off you, or even turning you back to your original form."

Lei Mingyan Yuteng quickly said, "My lord, I was unaware of your strength, which is why I spoke so offensively. Please spare my life."

Yang Xiong was puzzled. Logically speaking, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng should be known for his domineering nature, but the person in front of him seemed to be a coward.

"What do you mean by that? Why do you address me as 'sir'? Have you perhaps seen me before?"

Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng said, "Although I have never met you, sir, I can sense the divine power within you. You must have come from the God Realm. Only the gods of the God Realm can wield divine power, otherwise I would not have been so powerless."

Yang Xiong's expression changed slightly: "Normally speaking, you, a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast, should not know about the existence of divine power, let alone the difference between divine power and soul power. Could it be that your origin is not simple?"

"And how did you break through the 50,000-year limit and reach the 100,000-year level? I can't even see your age clearly. You should be at least over 150,000 years old."

Lei Mingyan Yuteng appeared unusually conflicted, somewhat unable to meet Yang Xiong's gaze, as if his words had just spoken out of some taboo.

Yang Xiong said calmly, "If you don't want to say, I can grant your wish. Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, there should be something you want to protect inside Thunder Canyon. That should be the true core of the entire Thunder Canyon."
