Chapter 130: Soul Heaven Emperor
Jiang Li stared at the golden summoning card in his hand, the edges of the card shimmering with strange symbols, as if it had life and was slightly trembling.
With a light swipe of his finger, the card instantly shattered into thousands of light spots that reassembled in the air. Suddenly, the entire top floor of the Star Auction Pavilion was enveloped by some ancient oppressive aura, and even the space itself began to warp and distort.

"Boom!"
A blood-colored pillar of light shot up into the sky!
Lei Yao and Ling Yun both groaned as they knelt to the ground, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths due to the overwhelming pressure.
Jiang Li's pupils suddenly contracted, and he activated the Invincible Domain, completely blocking this aura.
"This... I'm not dead?"
A hoarse voice came from within the pillar of light, and a blood-red robe moved without wind. Pale fingers tore through the light curtain as the figure stepped out.
The Soul Heaven Emperor's crimson eyes scanned the surroundings. Upon seeing the completely unfamiliar architectural style, the flame-like pattern on his brow suddenly flickered violently.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
He suddenly raised his hand to grasp at the void, only to find that the energy flow in this world was completely different from the Dou Qi Continent.
"Are you the leader of the Soul Clan?"
Jiang Li calmly looked at the Soul Heaven Emperor, contemplating how to make him submit.
The characters summoned through the system were not automatically forced to obey him.
The previous experience with the Willow God was a case in point. Perhaps it was because the system mediated the situation that the Willow God reluctantly stayed in the Star Auction Pavilion.
He also noticed that the system hadn't intervened with the Soul Heaven Emperor, meaning it would be up to him to make the emperor submit.
In the past, this might have been a difficult task, perhaps even requiring the help of the Willow God, but now that he was in the Star Auction Pavilion, with true invincible strength, even the most top-tier experts had to rein in their power here.
Just as the Soul Heaven Emperor was exploring his own condition, he suddenly turned his head, his long hair rising like a venomous serpent.
"An ant dares to address me by my name?"
Before the words had even left his mouth, a blood-red light blade slashed through the space toward him.
"Boom——!"
An attack strong enough to kill a Limit Douluo stopped just three inches away from Jiang Li.
The Soul Heaven Emperor was stunned to find his hand bound by countless golden chains, the other end of which seemed to connect with the entire world.
"Power of the world?!"
In a fit of rage, blood-red flames erupted around him as he tried to melt the chains surrounding him, but no matter what method he used, the golden chains remained completely unyielding.
This made the Soul Heaven Emperor grow increasingly frustrated, while at the same time, a deep sense of shock began to settle in his heart. Who exactly was this man in front of him?
How could he so easily suppress his power?
After all, his strength had already reached the true level of a Dou Di, and logically, no one should be able to stand against him.
Moreover, this man was much younger than the Xiao Yan he had previously faced, yet his power seemed unfathomable.
This filled the Soul Heaven Emperor with unease!
Could it be that he had not died, but instead entered the higher realm?
His strength had already reached the peak level on the Dou Qi Continent, and now that he had awakened, not only was he alive, but simply encountering a person had resulted in his power being crushed.
Aside from the possibility of entering a higher realm, the Soul Heaven Emperor couldn't think of any other reason to dismiss his doubts.
Jiang Li stood with his hands behind his back, still wearing a faint smile, not showing any change in expression from the Soul Heaven Emperor's actions.
"Welcome to Douluo Continent. As the new protector of the Star Auction Pavilion, you have a three-minute adaptation period."
With that, he snapped his fingers. At the same time, the Invincible Domain expanded, its overwhelming aura pressing down on the Soul Heaven Emperor, rendering him immobile.
The Soul Heaven Emperor's pupils contracted sharply. From this man, he sensed an unstoppable force.
What was even more terrifying was that it seemed as if the man had merged with the entire world.
The blood-red flames struggled for a moment, but finally, they slowly extinguished.
"Speak your terms."
The Soul Heaven Emperor suddenly calmed down, clenching his fists tightly.
As a former ruler at the peak of the continent, he understood the importance of timing better than anyone else.
"I believe you can feel it. This world is not the same as the Dou Qi Continent where you came from. This is an entirely new world, though the plane's level may not be as high as where you were before."
"What you need to do next is become the protector of the Star Auction Pavilion. The duration is ten years. If after ten years you wish to leave, I will have no objections."
"After all, if I can resurrect you, I can also destroy you again."
Jiang Li said flatly, his tone calm as he cast a casual glance at the Soul Heaven Emperor.
He was confident the Soul Heaven Emperor would agree. The emperor was extremely prideful, and now with a chance to rest and recover, he wouldn't let it go.
Additionally, with Jiang Li's sharp insight, he was sure the Soul Heaven Emperor could see the infinite potential of the Star Auction Pavilion.
"You revived me?"
The Soul Heaven Emperor was shocked upon hearing this.
He remembered dying at Xiao Yan's hands, but never imagined that it was the mysterious man before him who had resurrected him.
The Soul Heaven Emperor was deeply unsettled. He remembered that at the time, even his soul energy had been completely wiped out, and logically speaking, there should have been no chance of survival. Even the experts of the higher realm could not have done this.
But it seemed that this man before him had done the impossible.
This caused the Soul Heaven Emperor to take a deep breath. This person was definitely not ordinary.
He could also sense the special nature of this world.
"Alright, I agree. I hope that ten years from now, you will keep your word and let me leave."
After some contemplation, the Soul Heaven Emperor agreed without hesitation. After all, the man had resurrected him, so he owed him a life debt.
Since that was the case, he would protect the Star Auction Pavilion for ten years. However, just thinking about the other man's strength made him feel that his presence might be insignificant.
It was a good opportunity to rest during this time, and he still wanted to find Xiao Yan and settle the score.
"I want to know how to leave this world. Do I need certain strength to break the boundaries of this world and ascend to another realm?"
The Soul Heaven Emperor thought of a key issue. He was in an unfamiliar world, not even knowing where the Dou Qi Continent was, making it impossible to take revenge on Xiao Yan.
"Don't worry. I'll tell you how to leave Douluo Continent and help you find Xiao Yan."
Jiang Li had naturally guessed what the Soul Heaven Emperor was thinking and said softly.
Hearing Jiang Li speak his thoughts, the Soul Heaven Emperor was startled.
But then, he realized that the man knew his name the moment he spoke. This meant the man must know everything about his past; otherwise, he wouldn't have rescued him.
At the same time, a guess formed in his mind. Could it be that the man, in resurrecting him, also had a grudge against Xiao Yan?
Thinking this, the Soul Heaven Emperor silently chuckled. Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, who would have thought you'd provoke such a powerful enemy.
"Your main task is to protect the Star Auction Pavilion. Ling Yun, Lei Yao, take him around the Star Auction Pavilion and let him familiarize himself with it."
Jiang Li ordered.
