Three days earlier, on the eve of the hunt for the King of Slaughter and Bibi Dong.
Qian Daoliu had gathered the strongest individuals on the continent. Those who could assemble here were at least at the rank of Titled Douluo.
Ning Fengzhi was a special exception.
Oscar's clone calmly presented his plan to everyone. His true body had already reached level ninety-nine, possessing power enough to sweep across the entire continent.
The fact that he had slain the Deep Sea Demon Whale King alone was proof of his overwhelming strength.
The reason he was able to make so many factions willingly submit to him was not only because of his strength that surpassed all limits, but also because he shared the method of soul spirits.
Within the Sword Sect, many disciples already possessed soul spirits. With just a brief demonstration, those "country bumpkins" were made to understand the power of this new method.
Moreover, Oscar possessed the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Tianmeng. When he displayed even a fraction of their miraculous powers, everyone was not only shocked but also filled with desire to obtain such strength.
Most importantly, Di Tian appeared alongside Oscar to show support. With the beasts of the Star Dou Forest following him, Oscar was named one of the three leaders of the Star Dou Alliance,an honor with clear meaning.
Aside from the Star Dou Alliance, there was also the Extreme North Alliance led by the Titan Snow Demon King and Xiao Bai, where Oscar served as the grand leader.
The Sunset Forest was now fully under the Sword Sect's control.
In other words, through the Sword Sect alone, Oscar had already taken control of the largest soul beast forests on the continent, all without anyone realizing that such a far-reaching plan had already been set in motion.
When Oscar shared his plans and actions, the Spirit Hall, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect all pledged full support. Combined with the Sword Sect's strength, no other power had any reason to refuse.
Refuse? They could try,until they were beaten into submission.
As all the major forces emerged, with the King of Slaughter and Bibi Dong spreading chaos across the land, Tang Yuehua sent word to the Clear Sky Sect. After discussion, Sect Master Tang Xiao and the five elders decided to reappear in the world.
They had thought that with six Titled Douluo, they could still claim one of the top three sects, but they soon discovered that the continent had already changed drastically.
In terms of peak power, the Clear Sky Sect still surpassed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sects. But in terms of average strength, they could no longer compare. Not to mention the vast Sword Sect that now loomed over all.
When the Clear Sky Sect returned, Tang Yuehua contacted both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao. Tang Xiao was overjoyed at his brother's newfound strength.
Although the Seventh Elder still disliked Tang Hao, they all knew that unity was the only way for the sect to survive in this new world.
Thus, after consulting with the Second Elder, Tang Xiao allowed Tang Hao and the Seventh Elder to duel and resolve their grudge.
The Seventh Elder protested, for Tang Hao was now level ninety-five, while he himself had just reached level ninety-two. He had no chance.
But since both the sect master and Second Elder had decided, and given the current state of the world, the Clear Sky Sect needed unity above all else.
With Tang Hao's return, the twin stars of the Clear Sky Sect finally shone again.
Tang Hao's overwhelming talent and strength left the Seventh Elder no match for him. After their battle, Tang Hao officially rejoined the sect, and the elder set aside his old resentment.
The only regret was that Tang Hao's son Tang San's Tang Sect could not merge with the Clear Sky Sect, as it had been founded upon the Clan of Strength.
After all, it was true that the Clear Sky Sect once abandoned the four single-attribute clans. Tai Tan still respected Tang Hao but not the Clear Sky Sect.
Among the four single-attribute clans, three had already joined the Sword Sect.
Each of their clan leaders was now a Titled Douluo, all with ten-thousand-year ninth spirit rings and one hundred-thousand-year spirit souls.
Many forces were envious, eager to join the Sword Sect and gain favor.
Among the four clans, the Breaking Clan held the deepest grudge against the Clear Sky Sect. They publicly swore that one day they would fight the Clear Sky Sect again.
Oscar did not stop them. He believed that the soul master world needed a little friction to stay interesting. After the crisis was over, he planned to host a grand competition to redefine the seven great sects.
As for the feud between the Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect, that too would be settled then. Otherwise, if Qian Daoliu struck now, the Clear Sky Sect would not survive.
Qian Daoliu knew well how his son Qian Xunji had died, so for the sake of Oscar's grand cause, he chose to put aside vengeance.
The continent's situation temporarily stabilized. Thanks to the balance of power and Oscar's overwhelming might, peace spread across the land.
When asked why he was so strong while the Sword Sect's master was gone, Oscar showed deep sorrow, saying his grandfather had sacrificed himself for him.
Perhaps only Qian Daoliu truly understood him.
In truth, it was a white lie,aside from Ge Yue and Dugu Bo, no one knew the real truth.
With Oscar leading, the forces united against the King of Slaughter and Bibi Dong.
Even knowing their terrifying power, no one felt fear.
With Oscar, the acknowledged leader of the entire soul master world, they had nothing to worry about.
So when Yu Xiaogang suddenly appeared, everyone just watched like it was a joke. Yu Yuanzhen was torn apart inside, regretting having such a foolish son.
When the King of Slaughter made his final speech, everyone showed anger on their faces, but none acted.
The King of Slaughter let out a shrill cry, and the heavens turned blood red. His power, surpassing that of a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, spread across the sky.
Even Qian Daoliu, who had been at that level for decades, felt a strong sense of danger.
The King of Slaughter held the Shura Demon Sword. Eight black and one red spirit rings rose from his body.
Bibi Dong, with her Death Spider Emperor spirit, also unleashed her power,two yellow, two purple, four black, one red spirit rings rising as her Killing God Domain spread.
Among the dozens of Titled Douluo present, the two alone suppressed them all.
Even Qian Daoliu could not summon the power of his spirit rings.
The only one able to use his rings was Tang Hao, who also possessed the Killing God Domain. Holding the Clear Sky Hammer, his nine rings glowed, and his level ninety-five soul power burst forth.
But against the combined might of the King of Slaughter and Bibi Dong, his strength was like that of an ant trying to shake a tree.
Before the two could begin their massacre, a massive portal opened between the factions, and Oscar stepped through like a god descending to earth.
The moment he appeared, a wave of power dispelled the oppressive aura of the King of Slaughter.
With Oscar's presence, Tang Hao's burden vanished, and Qian Daoliu and the others no longer looked worried.
Seeing Oscar's tall, commanding figure, even veterans like Qian Daoliu and Ge Yue could hardly believe that just months ago, he had only been a Titled Douluo.
Now, he had reached level ninety-nine, possessing strength beyond mortal limits.
Facing the King of Slaughter and Bibi Dong's combined might, Oscar did not back down in the slightest.
Both were momentarily stunned upon seeing him. "You?"
The King of Slaughter knew him,Oscar had once escaped the Slaughter City because higher powers had warned him not to interfere.
To Bibi Dong, he had been just a child. Yet now he had grown so powerful that even she found him daunting.
If she were to face him alone, she might not even be able to win.
It was likely that Oscar now wielded power equal to or greater than the King of Slaughter.
Oscar looked not at them but at Qian Daoliu and the others. "Everyone, you've worked hard."
As he spoke, a jade-blue sword appeared in his left hand. Seven spirit rings rose,red, dark gold, red, red, red, red, red,and a world-splitting sword aura radiated forth.
The moment the Celestial Jade Spirit Sword appeared, the heavens seemed to crack open.
Though it had only seven rings, Oscar's level ninety-nine power was deeper than anyone's.
Two of its rings came from the Evil Orca King and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, while the remaining five were formed from Tianmeng's million-year essence.
He had given them to his sword because his true mastery lay in the way of the sword.
Even though his Ice Jade Scorpion spirit had nine hundred-thousand-year rings, it could not match his swordsmanship.
At this point, Oscar stood as the supreme master of swordsmanship.
When his sword moved, the sky itself split apart.
The King of Slaughter's blood-red domain was torn open by sword light so fierce no one dared look directly at it.
Oscar slowly raised his sword. "Today, I shall slay evil, destroy rebellion, and prove my eternal dominion."
Qian Daoliu and the others bowed deeply. "We welcome the Eternal Douluo. May Your Grace strike down the enemy."
Their united voices shook the heavens.
Across the continent, countless soul masters and civilians looked toward the sky, praying for the Eternal Douluo to end this crisis, destroy the evil, and bring back peace.
The King of Slaughter now realized that Oscar had reached his level. The Killing God Domain could not suppress him at all.
He could hardly believe it. Oscar was so young,how had he achieved this in so short a time?
The King of Slaughter had spent countless years and immense suffering to reach this level, combining his own strength with that of Tang Chen to break past mortal limits. Yet this boy had done it so easily?
Was humanity truly so blessed?
He refused to believe it.
"In my Killing Domain, you think you alone can overturn the heavens?" he growled.
With a roar, the Shura Demon Sword shone with blood light. One slash seemed to bring forth the infernal purgatory itself.
"Shura Hell Domain!"
Oscar raised his sword, expanding the Killing God Domain to its fullest. His twin soul cores rotated in perfect harmony, and the dark-gold second ring lit up.
The sword shone with a light that could split the world. Oscar struck.
"Second Soul Skill: Devour Heaven and Earth!"
Everything touched by the sword light was consumed into nothingness. The Shura Hell Domain was shattered before it could form.
But Oscar did not stop. His second dark-gold ring flared again.
"Second Soul Skill: Spatial Rift!"
He slashed again, and space itself tore apart, fragments scattering as endless power poured forth, pulling the King of Slaughter into the void.
Roaring, the King of Slaughter swung his sword again and again, sealing each rift one by one.
Oscar remained calm, his sword flashing again and again.
At that moment, Bibi Dong could no longer wait. She became a blur, charging at Qian Daoliu and the others who could no longer use their spirit rings.
Tang Hao raised his hammer to block her, but before he could act, her body shattered into fragments.
Oscar had struck.
His power, far beyond that of a Limit Douluo, was not something Bibi Dong could resist.
Though she had reached level ninety-nine, under such overwhelming pressure she could not fight back.
Fortunately, her battle instincts were sharp. At the instant she was struck, she activated her ninth skill,Undying Body.
She was cut apart, but not killed. The skill kept her alive, though gravely injured.
Meanwhile, Oscar had gauged the King of Slaughter's power. Strong,but only that.
He raised his Celestial Jade Spirit Sword, all seven rings glowing. Activating his seventh skill, the Spirit Avatar, the sword's power soared to its peak.
The seven rings merged into a single divine light, sinking into the blade.
With the fusion of one million-year and six hundred-thousand-year rings, plus his semi-divine spirit and physique, the Spirit Avatar's sword could unleash his ultimate strike.
"Whale drinks the sea, giant sword cleaves the sky, jade blade shines like a rainbow, emperor's will commands the sword,Sword Dao,Imperial Sword Unrivaled!"
A world-breaking slash tore through the heavens. The King of Slaughter felt a fear he had never known. He could not move, as if this sword were a divine decree that he must kneel to receive.
"Damn it! Move!" he roared, pouring all his blood essence into the Shura Demon Sword.
"Shura Hell,Annihilation!"
The blade devoured his blood and erupted in a desperate, all-out strike.
