Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

Gu Shenge naturally chose the former.

After all, what he promised the Heavenly Dou royal family was to ensure the survival of their bloodline in order to repay their blood ties, not to help Xue Qinghe take revenge.

However, when Bibi Dong heard Xue Qinghe call her sister-in-law, her heart trembled slightly, and waves of regret welled up inside her.

If she had known this would happen, she would never have taken the opportunity to infiltrate the Heavenly Dou Sect.

If Gu Shenge knew that the real Xue Qinghe had already perished and that the current Xue Qinghe was an imposter, how would he view him?

Bibi Dong suppressed her panic and regret, not wanting Gu Shenge to notice anything amiss, and revealed a smile on her beautiful face.

"Yes, given your relationship with Xue Qinghe, he should indeed call me sister-in-law."

Chapters 157-156: The Emperor Clan Descends upon Douluo Continent

Just as the entire continent was preparing to wipe out the Demon Soul Cult, a golden teleportation portal appeared without warning on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, from which two young men emerged.

They were handsome, with golden hair as dazzling as the sun, even their pupils were golden, and they had slender figures. They wore white tight-fitting clothes, and a lifelike sun emblem was tattooed on their left chest.

They were none other than the descendants of the Imperial Clan from the Sun and Moon Continent.

"Is this the Douluo Continent?"

The young man on the left spoke, surveying his surroundings, while the young man on the right spoke.

"Di Xuan, are you doubting the abilities of the elders?"

"Hmph! I was just asking a question, how did it become a questioning of the clan elder's ability in your mouth? Are you deliberately picking a fight?"

Upon hearing this, Di Xuan snorted softly, truly unable to understand why his clan would send this guy to team up with him in Douluo Continent.

Di Yun turned his head away, ignoring Di Xuan, and observed the surrounding environment. Seeing that it was a forest, he began to look for a way out.

Seeing that he was ignoring him, Di Xuan felt a surge of anger, but thinking of the task assigned by his clan, he could only suppress his anger and follow Di Yun to find a way out.

The two, who were visiting Douluo Continent for the first time, did not know that this place was the Star Dou Great Forest. Being unfamiliar with the area, they went in the wrong direction and instead of leaving the forest, they began to venture deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, the two encountered many spirit beasts, such as spotted cats, ghost wolves, fire crows, and black cloud leopards.

They were both easily killed by the two.

The two continued forward and soon approached the mixed zone, but they stopped at the same time as they sensed a slightly powerful aura.

Di Yun and Di Xuan looked into the distance, where the grass and trees were swaying, a scorching aura rushed towards them, and heavy footsteps could be heard, indicating that a huge creature was moving forward.

The ground shook, the trees swayed, and the lush green leaves fell, only to turn yellow and wither under the intense heat, their moisture evaporating and falling to the ground.

This made Di Yun and Di Xuan's eyes narrow. They saw a huge body approaching. With each step it took, the ground trembled. Soon, a magma rhinoceros that was six meters tall appeared in front of Di Xuan and the others.

A mutated species of rock rhinoceros, judging from its aura, its cultivation level is at least 30,000 years; even a typical Soul Saint might not be its match.

The magma rhinoceros's massive body was covered in magma-like patterns. Its muscles were well-developed, like blocks of granite, radiating high temperatures that distorted the air. Its thick limbs, like the legs of a grand palace, supported its enormous body.

Its curved, towering rhinoceros horn is half a meter long, incredibly sharp, radiating a crimson glow, and extremely hard. With a fierce charge, it is powerful enough to smash through a small mountain.

The magma rhinoceros slowly approached, its massive legs leaving large craters in the ground with each step, gradually encroaching on Di Xuan and Di Yun.

Before they could think further, the magma rhinoceros looked at the two humans blocking its way, its crimson eyes growing increasingly intense. Compared to the rock rhinoceros, the magma rhinoceros was more prone to anger, and it would not only indiscriminately harm other soul beasts, but it would also not spare its own kind.

This guy's brain must have been burned by lava.

Di Xuan noticed the magma rhinoceros's hostility, his eyes turning slightly cold. How dare it show hostility towards him? It's asking for a beating.

"Di Yun, step aside, I'll take care of it and teach it how to be a cow."

Di Xuan waved for Di Yun to stand aside and watch. Di Yun glanced at him, as if to say, "Watch what you're capable of," and then walked aside to watch his performance.

As the best of the younger generation in the clan, their cultivation has already broken through to the Soul Saint level. Not only that, their physical cultivation has also reached the third level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram.

They didn't even consider a magma rhinoceros with a cultivation level of 30,000 to 40,000 years a threat.

The magma rhinoceros stared at Di Xuan with its crimson eyes. Although it couldn't understand his words, the magma rhinoceros's sparse brain told it that this was a provocation.

Di Xuan raised his hand, and his arm instantly changed. Crimson, ferocious scales appeared continuously, and his left arm gradually transformed into a dragon's arm, ferocious and terrifying. The dragon's claws were powerful and strong, and with a gentle swing, they gave people a terrifying sense of oppression.

True Dragon's Three Transformations: Flood Dragon Transformation!

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Di Xuan, the magma rhinoceros showed no fear and roared with its massive jaws open.

"hold head high!!!"

Unexpectedly, Di Xuan was even more direct, opening his mouth to roar, emitting a dragon's cry. Waves of sound materialized, vibrating the air and sweeping in all directions, causing the trees within a hundred meters to shed their leaves in disarray. Many timid soul beasts were frightened and fled in all directions, not daring to linger.

The magma rhinoceros was stunned. It hadn't expected that Di Xuan could roar even more than it. Instantly, the ferocity in its huge crimson eyes intensified, and the magma patterns on its rock-like muscles became more pronounced, emitting a faint red glow.

The magma rhinoceros began to move its massive hind legs, raising dust and sand, and gradually lowered its head, its sharp horn, long enough to pierce a small mountain, aimed at Di Xuan.

It used the most primitive yet most effective method to deal with Di Xuan, aiming to penetrate him completely!

The magma rhinoceros tensed its muscles, exerted force suddenly, and charged wildly, kicking up a lot of dust, crashing into Di Xuan like a small mountain!

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

The earth trembled violently, cracks appeared everywhere, as if an earthquake had struck, and the massive body of the magma rhinoceros, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, crashed into Di Xuan, intending to pierce and crush him!

Di Xuan simply raised his dragon-transformed arm, remaining motionless, showing no panic at all at the charging magma rhinoceros. He directly struck the magma rhinoceros with a force powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.

"boom!!"

The dragon's claw was indestructible and incredibly powerful, directly striking the rhinoceros horn that had pierced through the small mountain. With a deafening roar, the mountain shook and the earth trembled.

Strong aftershocks erupted from the point where Di Xuan collided with the magma rhinoceros, directly cracking the ground and creating numerous fissures. The surrounding trees were snapped by the aftershocks, leaves flew everywhere, and dust rose, obscuring the true appearance of the area.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing his true form, Di Xuan grabbed the sharp horn of the magma rhinoceros with a single dragon claw. His strength was so great that no matter how the magma rhinoceros charged, Di Xuan could not move an inch, remaining as steady as Mount Tai.

Di Xuan's expression remained unchanged. His right hand transformed into a dragon claw, directly grabbing the magma rhinoceros's horn. Using this as a fulcrum, he actually lifted the massive body of the magma rhinoceros. The tens of thousands of pounds of weight were nothing more than a toy in front of Di Xuan.

The magma rhinoceros kicked its limbs repeatedly, and its horns began to emit high temperatures, but Di Xuan's resistance remained at its maximum, showing no fear of the magma rhinoceros's high temperature.

Then, moving up and down, left and right, Di Xuan gripped the rhinoceros horn and swung the magma rhinoceros around like a toy, tormenting it.

If outsiders saw a magma rhinoceros, which is even more powerful than a Soul Saint, being so brutally abused without even using its Martial Soul, they would probably be shocked to the point of bursting their eyes.

Chapters 157-158: The Twin Stars of the Di Clan Sweeping Through the Star Dou Great Forest

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

Deep, resounding crashes echoed through the forest, as if some enormous object was constantly pounding the ground.

At the point where the sound reverberated, Di Xuan, with his immense strength, like a savage god, gripped the long horn of a magma rhinoceros weighing tens of thousands of pounds with one hand, using it as a handle, and swung his arm around, slamming the magma rhinoceros to the ground.

The ground shook, sending rocks flying and creating large craters. Cracks continued to extend, and the surrounding trees were shaken, their leaves flying everywhere. The lava rhinoceros was smashed to pieces, its flesh mangled and blood spurting out and splashing around, while it cried out in agony.

"Click~"

With a crisp snap, Di Xuan broke off the magma rhinoceros's horn. With a light touch, the massive magma rhinoceros, as large as a small mountain, was flung away like a meteor, crashing through towering trees in its path before finally slamming into a boulder.

collapse

The magma rhinoceros smashed the boulder, scattering fragments everywhere. The magma rhinoceros landed headfirst, and the sound of bones cracking rang out. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the massive body collapsed to the ground, limp and powerless.

A moment later, a black soul ring floated up from the magma rhinoceros's mangled and bloodied body.

Seeing this, Di Xuan tossed the broken piece of his sword aside, his face showing disdain. It was really weak; he hadn't even had his fill before it died.

"Hmm? Soul bone."

A reddish-brown soul bone resembling an arm bone appeared. Di Xuan's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected to get a soul bone after killing a soul beast that had been around for over 30,000 years. It seemed that he was quite lucky.

Di Xuan walked to the corpse of the magma rhinoceros, shook off the ten-thousand-year soul ring, and reached out to take the soul bone into his hand. As soon as he got his hands on it, the resentment of a magma rhinoceros roaring to the sky appeared in his mind, impacting his spirit.

"Humph!"

Di Xuan snorted lightly, and his spirit directly shattered the resentment of the magma rhinoceros, turning it into an invisible and intangible spiritual mass that dissipated into the air.

Di Xuan then carefully examined the soul bone, the left arm bone. He wondered what kind of soul skills it possessed. After all, it was a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. Once the mission was over and he returned to the Sun and Moon Continent, he could have the clan's weapon refiners forge it into a soul weapon.

"Let's go."

Di Xuan carefully put away the soul bone, then turned to Di Yun and said something. Di Yun nodded and put the magma rhinoceros's corpse into his storage soul artifact, as it was a material for refining weapons. The two left the devastated land and continued to venture deeper into the Star Dou Forest, never to return, completely unaware that they had gone the wrong way.

Not long after they left, the commotion attracted two Soul Masters: a middle-aged man in light black armor and a mature, alluring woman with fair skin. She wore a black leather jacket that accentuated her well-developed figure, with a slender waist, long, shapely legs, and a curvaceous, full bust.

"This is~"

The middle-aged man was surrounded by six soul rings, yellow, purple, black, and dark, indicating that he was a Soul Emperor. He looked at the large crater and the scalding blood on the ground, as well as the broken horn that Di Xuan had casually discarded on the ground, and showed a look of surprise.

The half-meter-long rhinoceros horn was incredibly hard. The middle-aged man held it in his hand and examined it. He recognized it as the horn of a magma rhinoceros, and since it was half a meter long, it must have come from a magma rhinoceros that was tens of thousands of years old.

It should be known that the magma rhinoceros, which is ten thousand years old, is incredibly powerful. Even he was not confident of defeating it, since he was only an agility-type soul master. The magma rhinoceros had an extremely high surface temperature, and his attacks could not cause any damage to it.

"Uncle Qun, what kind of soul beast caused this destruction? It's terrifying."

Looking at the mess on the ground, with broken rocks, broken trees, and cracks everywhere, the mature woman next to Zhu Qun asked in a puzzled tone, her voice charming and delicate, "It must sound very nice when you call out like that."

Zhu Qun spoke up, his eyes serious. He hadn't expected to encounter such a powerful expert while hunting soul beasts for his young lady in the Star Dou Great Forest. Someone who could hunt a ten-thousand-year-old magma rhinoceros must be a Soul Saint.

However, Zhu Qun was puzzled as to where the lava rhinoceros's carcass had gone.

Zhu Zhuyun was also surprised to hear Zhu Qun's speculation. A Soul Saint was a powerful figure even in the Star Luo Empire. It would be even better if the Zhu family could be won over.

"Uncle Qun, let's go see which Soul Saint it is."

Zhu Zhuyun made the suggestion, which surprised Zhu Qun. He then realized what Zhu Zhuyun wanted to do: to win over that Soul Saint. After all, a Soul Saint is not so easy to win over.

The two followed in the footsteps of Di Xuan and Di Yun, hoping to catch up with them.

Meanwhile, Di Xuan and Di Yun had traveled a distance and were getting closer and closer to the core area. They encountered fewer and fewer soul beasts along the way, but their strength was increasing, and they easily killed them all.

Di Xuan and Di Yun continued their erroneous advance, while on a towering tree not far from them, a giant python, as thick as a bucket and over twenty meters long, coiled around them. Its dark red scales emitted a ghostly light, cold and hard. Its eyes were locked on Di Xuan, filled with killing intent, and its pink forked tongue protruded.

Just as Di Xuan was getting closer and closer, the Devouring Python suddenly pounced on him, opening its blood-red maw and sending out gusts of foul stench. It was so foul that it looked like it hadn't brushed its teeth in tens of thousands of years, making Di Xuan feel nauseous even from a distance.
