As the night turned to dawn, Gu Zhaoqiu, who had eliminated all the evil soul masters near Tiandou City, came to meet Xu Tianxi.
At this time, Xu Tianxi was using soul-stealing methods to force Ye Xishui to reveal core information, ranging from the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold, the number, types, and sources of evil soul masters to the location of the golden tree.
Unexpectedly, the golden tree was no longer in the hands of the Holy Spirit Church. Ye Xishui followed the order of "Lord Holy Emperor" and snatched the golden tree from Shrek and rushed it to a place. Several Clear Sky Hammer Soul Masters took over the golden tree.
Moreover, a restriction had been placed on Ye Xishui's spiritual sea, and some of his memories could not be retrieved.
Du Bu Si stood aside, his face red with anger, and angrily said, "You bastards, what a piece of shit Sea God Alliance, it turns out they are in cahoots with these evil soul masters!"
"They even snatched the golden tree and sent it over. How shameless those two Haotian Sect Masters are!"
Xu Tianxi's face was as cold as ice. He looked at Long Xiaoyao and said coldly, "Tell me everything you know about the Holy Spirit Cult, especially anything related to that Holy Emperor."
"If I detect any abnormality in your mental fluctuations, Ye Xishui's ten fingers will be gone. There should be plenty of torture instruments in the Tianhun Empire!"
Du Bu Si nodded repeatedly, "That's right, the Tianhun Empire has plenty of torture instruments. I, Du Bu Si, will personally treat her with my own hands. I guarantee that she will be in excruciating pain but unable to die!"
Long Xiaoyao lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know much. I only know that Zhongli Wu and his men received an order from the Holy Emperor a few years ago to kill tens of millions of people and build a peerless blood formation called the Blood River God-Slaying Formation..."
"You mean the Blood River God-killing Formation? The formation that kills people to become gods?" Xu Tianxi confirmed with a gleam in his eyes.
"That's the name. Zhongli Wu claimed that successfully constructing this blood formation would allow him to ascend to godhood, attain the power of the Heretic God, and allow the Holy Spirit Cult to reign supreme. He also claimed that he would gather the power of the entire Douling Empire to open a passageway and usher in the abyss."
Long Xiaoyao sighed, looked at Xu Tianxi, and said, "But he died in your hands before he even saw this formation completed."
"I really regret letting him die so easily." The coldness between Xu Tianxi's brows almost condensed into frost, forcing Du Busi to use his soul power to protect himself, and Jin Peng and others did not dare to get close at all.
Du Bu Si glared and asked, "Are you also massacring Shrek City in preparation for that great formation?"
"Yes." Long Xiaoyao nodded painfully.
"What a trick! More than three million lives were killed without any effort. The Holy Spirit Church is really capable of you." Du Bu Si grinned and thought to himself that these bastards must not form an organization, otherwise they would cause endless harm.
"What about now? How's the formation? I know that formation has infinite power. If Ye Xishui had used it last night, I don't think it would be easy to kill her."
A hint of worry flashed across Xu Tianxi's eyes. Now it seemed that there was no doubt that Tang San was secretly manipulating the Holy Spirit Cult to help them open up a passage to the Abyss Plane.
Long Xiaoyao glanced at Ye Xishui, who was standing beside him with a dazed look, shook his head in pain, and replied:
"I don't know either. We massacred Shrek City because, on the one hand, Xishui wanted to quickly restore the Holy Spirit Church's strength, and on the other hand, the two divine messengers sent by the Holy Emperor pushed us too hard."
"I can't fathom the strength of those two divine messengers. They took away the space teleportation platform that the Holy Spirit Cult had built in a short period of time when they were in Mingdu. The Blood River God-killing Formation is not in Xishui's hands, so it is very likely that they also took it away."
Gu Zhaoqiu looked confused and shouted, "What's the point of being a divine messenger? Where do so many gods come from in this world? True gods can't interfere in the affairs of the lower realms!"
"Every word I said is true. When it comes to Xishui, I dare not tell a lie..." Long Xiaoyao was in tears and acted very humble, completely lacking the dignity of an Extreme Douluo.
"Alright, no need to say more. Do you know where the divine messenger is? I want to talk to them."
Xu Tianxi's eyes were cold and clear, with a faint sense of spatial fluctuations surging.
Long Xiaoyao shook his head bitterly.
"Well, they won't let you know where they are. So what about the Haotian Sect? Where is their mountain gate?"
Unable to find Tang Hao and A Yin for the time being, Xu Tianxi locked onto another target with murderous intent, intending to massacre the Haotian Sect.
The situation is now very clear. The Holy Spirit Church is just a glove of Tang San and is a semi-abandoned child. The people he trusts most are the two soul beasts and his parents.
With the energy of the golden tree for the two soul beasts to absorb, their injuries will recover very quickly.
However, it made no difference to him. He had a trump card that he hadn't played until now. Unless those two guys could use their divine power, he couldn't escape.
"There's no need to ask Old Black Dragon about such trivial matters as the location of the Haotian Sect. I know it."
Du Bu Si volunteered, took out a map, and gave Xu Tianxi instructions:
"They are located in the mountains to the west of the Tianhun Empire. Look, these peaks are the headquarters of the Haotian Sect. The dozens of mountains around them and the hundreds of miles of land below them all belong to them. There are sentry posts here, here is the Iron Lock Bridge, and here is Haotian Fort, the core area of the Haotian Sect's disciples..."
Xu Tianxi took Du Bu Si's words to heart and nodded slightly, "I remember. As long as the people from the Haotian Sect are still in Haotian Castle, not a single one of them will leave alive."
Du Bu Si chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome. You're a spirit master of the original body, and a descendant of Brother Xu. Although you've left the Tianhun Empire, even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still righteousness. It's my duty to help you. Besides, you saved me and Tiandou City last night."
After saying that, his expression turned serious again, and he earnestly suggested, "The Haotian Sect has been rooted in the continent for over ten thousand years, and they still have many strongholds within the Tianhun Empire. I'm afraid you're not interested in eradicating them one by one. How about we help you deal with them?"
Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered, and he nodded, saying, "I don't like owing favors to anyone. I helped you last night, and you helped me solve all the troubles of the Haotian Sect. This is your repayment. I don't expect any other compensation from you. Let's just settle it now."
Upon hearing this, Du Bu Si's face changed. Emperor Tianhun, Prince Xueyu, and Vina behind him also changed color, as they understood the implication of Xu Tianxi's words.
If you don't want to have any favors, you don't want to talk about relationships. When we meet in the future, we will have different positions and we will still be enemies.
But what's the difference between being an enemy of a strong man who beat a Limit Douluo to death and committing suicide?
Du Bu Si was about to say something, but he saw Xu Tianxi glance at Gu Zhaoqiu beside him and said calmly:
"Master Du, my sister is from the Xingdou Great Forest and has a deep grudge against you. Today is not the right day to settle the grudge."
The Star Dou Great Forest? A hundred thousand year old soul beast transforming?
Thinking of his dark history in the Xingdou Great Forest, Du Bu Si sighed, his expression downcast, and nodded, "I understand. In this case, I will put an end to this feud."
Xu Tianxi and Gu Zhaoqiu bowed, mentioned Long and Ye and the other two, and turned to leave.
At this time, Du Bu Si called out from behind, "Excuse me, sir, are you determined to unify the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent?"
Xu Tianxi paused and replied calmly, "With your current strength, even if I stand by and watch, the Sun and Moon Empire can still defeat you."
"Your successive attacks and those of the Sea God Alliance have already turned all the powerful people in the Sun-Moon Empire into advocates of war. I don't need to tell you that."
"I might as well tell you that during the last battle in Mingdu, I was tricked by the Sea God Alliance and brought to the sea. After the bloody battle, I slaughtered the High Priest of Sea God and Sea God Island."
As soon as the words fell, ripples appeared in the space, and Xu Tianxi and Gu Zhaoqiu disappeared from their original places.
Upon seeing this, all the rulers of the Tianhun Empire lost their spirits and collapsed to the ground in despair, their eyes blank and despair gradually welling up in them.
The High Priest of the Seagod, the Extreme Douluo, failed in his plot and was killed instead. All the powerful resistance forces of the original three countries can be declared finished.
Du Bu Si was silent for a long time, then said to Emperor Tianhun: "Your Majesty, you must make a choice: sacrifice your life for your country or surrender."
"I don't think I can survive. If you surrender, maybe there's still a chance of survival."
Emperor Tianhun's lips moved, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Prince Xueyu's expression changed, and he suddenly said, "Hasn't the Xingluo Empire already negotiated the terms of surrender? Xu Jiawei even…"
As soon as these words were spoken, a bright light seemed to flash through the minds of Du Bu Si and Di Tian Hun, and everything suddenly became clear.
Bastard, bastard, he actually made preparations behind their backs!
…
Haotian Sect's peak.
The golden tree stood tall among the layers of clouds, its aura invisible. Titan and Niu Tian lay leisurely beside the tree roots, absorbing the energy treasured by the golden tree over the years, laughing heartily.
"Brother, the deaths of so many Sea God Pavilion Masters in Shrek were not in vain. The energy of this golden tree is so comfortable. Hahahaha..." Titan raised his voice and laughed loudly, shaking the sky.
Niu Tian breathed steadily and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry. Our injuries have healed, and now is the perfect time to return to our strongest strength below the God level."
"It won't be long before we have the chance to return to the mainland, and then we can get everything back!"
Titan pounded his chest with both fists. "When the time comes, I'll make sure those guys become cannon fodder, using their lives to fill the gaps in the Abyss Army! Then, Third Brother's plan will surely succeed!"
"Yes, although that evil beast in the God Realm hurt my third brother very badly, it still played a role in disrupting the God Realm. The abyss will soon come..." Niu Tian smiled.
At this time, a sound like thunder in a clear sky blasted through the clouds, from far to near, reaching the highest peak of Haotian Sect. The swirling clouds and mist suddenly collapsed, and the sky and the earth became clear.
"I don't know whether the Abyss will come or not, but your doom has come today!"
Above the sky, purple-black clouds suddenly gathered, and thousands of feet of thunder fell from the sky, spreading to the eight peaks of Haotian Sect.
