The five Titled Douluo had gathered.

Fang Xuan was exhilarated as he stared at the battle in the sky. Witnessing a battle between Titled Douluo with his own eyes had made his blood boil. He was longing for this battle.

A battle between Titled Douluo was still too far away for Fang Xuan. He could only watch from afar.

The Summit of the Heavens.

The five Titled Douluo were about to begin.

"Jade Scale Serpent Emperor True Body."

Dugu Bo immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body. His seventh soul ring released a dark black light, and a Jade-Scaled Snake Emperor that was ten meters long and as thick as a water bucket appeared out of thin air. It looked as if it had been carved out of jade, and every part of its body was shiny and ferocious. As it roared, it spat out purplish-red poisonous fog, and a terrifying aura filled the air.

"Roar"

The Jade-Scaled Snake Emperor's eyes flashed like lightning, and an extremely violent roar reverberated through the air, causing the mountains to crumble and the earth to crack. Giant rocks tumbled down, and it flashed through the air like a bolt of green lightning. It opened its bloody mouth and bit down toward the Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Hmph, don't be so arrogant, Old Poison"

Anger flashed in the Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes. Even though he had lost his arm, he was still a titled battle pet warrior. Golden light glowed around his body as he revealed his true form. He turned into a huge golden chrysanthemum that was overflowing with divine energy as if a divine flower had descended from the heavens.

High up in the air, the Chrysanthemum and the Jade-Scaled Snake Emperor fiercely collided. The entire desolate mountain instantly collapsed, the sky darkened, and the sun and moon lost their light. Berserk soul power and killing intent crazily swept through the world.

"What terrifying strength. Is this a battle between Titled Douluos?"

Everyone was shocked. Be it the soul masters from the Heaven Dou Empire or the assassins from the Spirit Hall, they all stopped fighting and fled in all directions.

A battle between Titled Douluo was too shocking. The power was enough to destroy heaven and earth. The mountain that was a thousand feet tall was directly shattered by the shockwaves from the collision. The mountain collapsed and the ground cracked. Huge rocks were sent flying. Even the ancient trees were uprooted by the terrifying storm of killing intent. It was like the end of the world.

Everyone had to retreat from the mountain path. Otherwise, they would all be buried alive by the huge rocks that rolled down from the mountain peak.

On the other side, another battle was about to take place.

"Haha, old geezer, we haven't fought for almost twenty years, right? Let's have a go"

The Bone Douluo laughed heartily, and his eyes were sharp. His fighting spirit surged, and his seventh black soul ring shone with a sinister light. His body suddenly transformed, and a ferocious Bone Dragon that was more than twenty meters long descended from the sky.

"Good timing"

The Ghost Douluo cackled sinisterly, and black mist churned around his body. He transformed into a massive ghostly figure that was over ten meters long, and it blotted out the sun. His ferocious aura surged as he engaged in a fierce battle with the Bone Dragon.

In the sky.

The Chrysanthemum Douluo was fighting against Dugu Bo, and the Ghost Douluo was fighting against the Bone Douluo. The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle. Soul energy and killing intent filled the air. A battle between titled battle pet warriors would last for at least three days and three nights.

After all, they were all elites who had lived for decades, and they were all Titled Douluo. Every one of them was very powerful, and they had many trump cards up their sleeves. They were very difficult to deal with, and it wasn't easy to kill them.

However, there was an exception this time, as a Rank 96 Transcendent Douluo was eyeing them from the side.

"Sixth soul skill, Ancestral Swords"

Two beams of light shot out from the Sword Douluo's eyes. He wielded his Seven Kills Sword, and his silver hair danced in the wind. His robes flapped, and countless strands of sharp sword aura transformed into countless divine swords. They tore through the air and pierced through space, and they attacked the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Boom! Boom"

A beam of Seven Kills Sword Qi struck the Ghost Douluo's side, and a beam of Seven Kills Sword Qi struck the Chrysanthemum Douluo's chest. Both of them were immediately defeated, and they coughed up blood as they retreated.

"Damn it! Chen Xin, how dare you stab us in the back"

The Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo spat out blood, and they were furious as they accused the Sword Douluo of launching a sneak attack.

"Hehe, you were the ones who led your people to attack us. Why are you blaming me for launching a sneak attack? I never said that I wouldn't attack"

The Sword Douluo smiled faintly. He was worried that things would change if he delayed any longer, and he wanted to end the battle immediately.

In the next instant, the Sword Douluo, the Bone Douluo, and the Poison Douluo attacked together. They wanted to defeat the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo in one fell swoop.

In the face of three Titled Douluos, the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo were almost completely dominated. They were sent flying again, and most of their bodies had been destroyed.

"Damn it, you're bullying us with numbers" the Chrysanthemum Douluo roared with rage.

"Haha, so what if we're ganging up on you? Broken Chrysanthemum, Old Bastard, didn't the two of you gang up on me a lot in the past? You're finally getting a taste of what it's like to be ganged up on" Dugu Bo chortled.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, Soul fusion skill"

The Ghost Douluo could tell that the situation wasn't looking good for them, and a serious expression appeared on his face. He turned to the Chrysanthemum Douluo beside him and prepared to unleash his martial soul fusion skill.

"Fuck …"

The Chrysanthemum Douluo was so enraged that he threw up a mouthful of blood. It was one thing for Dugu Bo to call him Chrysanthemum Douluo, but who would've thought that his partner would call him Chrysanthemum Douluo as well?

"Damn it, Don't call me Chrysanthemum Pass"

The Chrysanthemum Douluo was enraged, but he didn't hesitate in the slightest as he quickly fused with the Ghost Douluo. Four yellow, four purple and ten black soul rings fused, and an indescribably terrifying aura erupted forth.

"Soul fusion skill — Polar Stillness Domain"

The two Titled Douluo turned into two streaks of flowing light and fused to form a huge domain that was as black as ink. It engulfed the entire barren mountain, and even the sun and the sky were devoured. There was only boundless darkness left and a suffocating and terrifying aura spread. It seemed to have come from hell itself, and it made one's heart tremble.

The Polar Stillness Domain was an extremely powerful restriction-type soul fusion skill. It possessed extremely powerful sealing abilities, and it could even seal Titled soul masters.

In the original novel, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo joined forces to unleash this soul fusion skill and successfully sealed the two kings of the forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

"That's … a soul fusion skill"

A hint of wariness flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes at the sight of the Polar Stillness Domain. He had sparred with the Chrysanthemum Douluo many times in the past, and he was well aware of just how terrifying this soul fusion skill was. If he were to encounter it by himself, he would most likely be insta-killed.

Thankfully, he had the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo with him, as well as the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. With three Titled Douluos present, what did they have to fear even if it was a soul fusion skill?

An earth-shattering battle quickly erupted.

The sky was crumbling, the earth was caving in, and extremely terrifying killing intent erupted into the heavens. It was as if the end of the world had arrived, and the intensity of the battle was even more terrifying than before.

Many people were curled up in corners, trembling with fear, as if they were witnessing the end of the world.

As the battle progressed, the outcome of the battle was already very clear. If this continued, the Sword Douluo, the Bone Douluo, and the Poison Douluo would all be injured, while the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo would be dead for sure.

After all, it was three against two, and the Sword Douluo was a rank 96 Hyper Douluo, so he was extremely powerful. Even the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo's soul fusion skill wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

However, just as the battle was about to end in mutual destruction, a handsome white-robed man strode out with a folding fan in his hand. He looked up at the five Titled Douluo in the sky, and said, "Everyone, please stop"

"Er …"

The five Douluo faltered slightly upon hearing this, and they suddenly stopped in unison as if they had reached a tacit agreement.

This white-robed man was none other than the sect master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi. On this battlefield, Ning Fengzhi undoubtedly had a lot of authority.

"If we continue fighting, one of us is bound to be severely injured or killed. It's not easy for all of you to become Titled Douluo, and I'm sure all of you know that it's not worth it to fight to the death over such a small matter"

Ning Fengzhi had a deep look in his eyes as he suggested a truce, "Why don't we both take a step back and stop fighting? Let's go back to where we came from, and pretend that nothing happened today. What do you think?"

His deep and wise eyes swept across the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the two Titled Douluo were slightly stunned as disbelief appeared in their eyes.

Ning Fengzhi's actions were undoubtedly giving the Spirit Hall a way out. Even though the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo had unleashed their soul fusion skills, they were still at a disadvantage and were being suppressed by the three Douluo. If they continued fighting, they would die.

Both of them were well aware of this. They thought that they were about to reach a dead end, and were prepared to drag someone down with them. However, they didn't expect Ning Fengzhi to suddenly step forward and open a way out for the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo. This shocked them, but they were also a little impressed by the methods of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's sect leader. He was indeed extraordinary!

Ning Fengzhi knew that if they continued fighting, even though they might be able to kill the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo today, one of the two elders of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect might be severely injured or even killed in the face of their final retaliation. This was something that he didn't want to see.

Most importantly, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect didn't want to incur the wrath of the Martial Soul Hall for now.

If they killed the two elders of the Spirit Hall and wiped out the Martial Soul Hall's thousands of soul masters, they would incur the wrath of the Spirit Hall.

Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to consider such serious consequences!

After a moment of deep thought, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo looked at each other before nodding solemnly. They accepted Ning Fengzhi's suggestion without any hesitation.

"Alright, Sect Master Ning, we admit defeat. Let's pretend that nothing happened today. Let's retreat"

Before they even finished speaking, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo retreated with thousands of black-robed assassins like a receding tide. They even took their corpses with them. They didn't leave behind any concrete proof of their identities. Up until now, many people still didn't know where their opponents came from.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly. Even though he wasn't too happy about letting the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others go, he understood the crux of the matter, so he didn't say anything.

As for the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo, even though they were Titled Douluo and were very powerful, they completely obeyed their sect master's orders when it came to strategy.

Just like that, the Spirit Hall's assassins hurriedly retreated, and the battle finally came to an end.

Even though this battle was extremely dangerous, it ended just as quickly as it started. Even though the various academies and the empire's soul master legions had suffered casualties, their losses weren't too great. They weren't hurt at all, so it was a blessing in disguise.

"Why did Sect Master Ning let them go? This was a great opportunity to wipe out the Spirit Hall"

Fang Xuan furrowed his brows. He was a little depressed. He had planned this meticulously so that he could kill the Chrysanthemum Douluo, the Ghost Douluo, and Dugu Bo all at once. He didn't expect that they would be let go so easily.

"Even though we could have wiped them out, we would have incurred the wrath of the Spirit Hall. By then, the Spirit Hall would dispatch their most powerful experts to eliminate us. Even though our sect is strong, we don't have any experts who are above Rank 90, and we can't afford to provoke the Spirit Hall"

Grandmaster smiled faintly. He understood Ning Fengzhi's thoughts. Even though they could have wiped out the Martial Spirit Hall today, it would have caused them a lot of trouble. It would have been difficult for them to deal with the Spirit Hall's retaliation.

In the worst-case scenario, they might even have to rely on the various empires to help them deal with the Martial Spirit Hall. It wasn't worth it to provoke the Spirit Hall for the sake of the two elders of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Fang Xuan fell into deep thought as he listened to the Grandmaster's explanation. He understood that Grandmaster's words made sense. If they could deal with the Martial Spirit Hall without any consequences, it would be worth it even if they had to pay a high price. However, if they couldn't deal with the Martial Spirit Hall and ended up bringing disaster upon themselves, it would be a heavy blow to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

The safety of the sect was the most important thing.

As for the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo, they knew that they had dodged a bullet this time, and they were extremely grateful to the sect master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. They vowed to remember this favor.

The two Elders of the Spirit Hall were also smart people. They knew that if they continued fighting, they would most likely be killed, so they retreated without any hesitation.

Even though they had retreated, the Spirit Hall's plan wasn't completely foiled. They had successfully sent people into the Ten Great Sects, and they had successfully instigated a battle between the Ten Great Sects and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. This was Spirit Hall's true goal.

In the hearts of the experts of the Ten Great Sects, the Spirit Hall had already become a thorn in their sides. However, there was no concrete proof that the Martial Spirit Hall had infiltrated the Ten Great Sects, and there was no concrete proof that the Spirit Hall was the one who had incited the battle between the Ten Great Sects and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

The Ten Great Sects were still cautious. The only certain thing was that the Spirit Hall had planted their spies within the Ten Great Sects, but there was no concrete proof. They couldn't just arbitrarily suspect anyone without any evidence, as that would only cause disharmony within the sect.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall's plan was still considered a success.

The Spirit Hall's spies who had infiltrated the Ten Great Sects were naturally very cautious. They were well aware of the consequences of being exposed, so they acted extremely low-key. None of them had caused any major disturbances, and they were able to infiltrate the Ten Great Sects very successfully.

In the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, after the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo retreated, Ning Fengzhi immediately summoned the elders to discuss the current situation.

"Everyone, I'm sure you're all aware that the situation has changed. The Spirit Hall has infiltrated the Ten Great Sects, and they have successfully incited a battle between us and the Ten Great Sects. If we don't handle this well, it might escalate into a full-scale war between the Ten Great Sects, which is exactly what the Spirit Hall wants"

Ning Fengzhi's voice was deep, and he had a grave look on his face, "We can't let the Spirit Hall succeed. Even though they have spies within our sect, they haven't caused any major disturbances, and they're acting extremely low-key. This means that they want to secretly observe our sect and wait for an opportunity. We must be vigilant"

"However, we can't expose the spies within our sect too quickly. Otherwise, the Spirit Hall will become suspicious, and they might even pull out all of their spies at once. By then, it will be even more difficult for us to find out who they are"

"Currently, our sect's overall strength is already quite powerful. Even though the two elders of the Spirit Hall have infiltrated our sect, they don't dare to act rashly. However, we must be extremely cautious in the future. We must strengthen our guard, and we must not let our guard down"

"In the future, we must also pay attention to the sects that are hostile to us. We must not let them take advantage of the situation to attack us. We must be prepared for anything"

Ning Fengzhi's words were like a bucket of cold water that poured down on everyone's heads. Everyone's expressions turned solemn. They had all just experienced a fierce battle, and they were all extremely tired. However, they couldn't rest just yet. The situation had become extremely complicated, and they couldn't let their guard down.

The Spirit Hall was extremely cunning, and they had used a very cunning method to incite a battle between the Ten Great Sects and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. They had almost succeeded, and if it weren't for Ning Fengzhi's quick thinking, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Ning Fengzhi's words were extremely enlightening, and they resonated with everyone. They couldn't help but feel respect for the sect master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. His wisdom and foresight were truly extraordinary.

After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the various elders of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect immediately made their arrangements and began to implement various measures to strengthen the sect's defense. Everyone understood that the current situation was extremely complicated, and they had to be extremely cautious.

After this fierce battle, everyone in the sect had a deeper understanding of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall was not as simple as they had imagined. They had already infiltrated the Ten Great Sects, and their spies were extremely cunning and cautious. They were extremely difficult to deal with.

The Spirit Hall was like a poisonous snake that was lurking in the shadows. They were extremely dangerous, and they couldn't be underestimated.

Ning Fengzhi also sent people to find the two elders of the Martial Spirit Hall, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo and invited them to the sect for a discussion. Ning Fengzhi wanted to understand their intentions and see if they could resolve the conflict peacefully.

However, the two elders of the Martial Spirit Hall, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo, were extremely cautious. They declined Ning Fengzhi's invitation and decided to return to the Spirit Hall first.

The two of them had already accomplished their mission. They had successfully sent people into the Ten Great Sects, and they had successfully incited a battle between the Ten Great Sects and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. They had even brought back valuable intelligence about the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's strength and defenses.

Their mission was considered a success, and they had already achieved their goal. There was no need for them to continue taking risks. As long as they were still alive, they could continue to serve the Spirit Hall.

Even though the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo had retreated, they had left a deep impression on the various academies and the empire's soul master legions. They were all extremely shocked by the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo's strength.

This battle was extremely shocking, and it shook the entire Douluo Continent.

Even though the outcome of the battle had been decided, the battle had still left a deep impression on everyone. The battle had only lasted for a short while, but it had caused huge waves.

The Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo had become famous throughout the Douluo Continent with their stunning performance. Their strength had shocked everyone.

In the end, the various academies and the empire's soul master legions withdrew, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Ten Great Sects all went their separate ways. However, the shockwaves of this battle had not yet dissipated. Everyone was still discussing the battle, and it had become a hot topic.

After the fierce battle, the various academies and the empire's soul master legions all returned to their respective locations to regroup. Even though they had suffered some casualties, they had gained valuable experience from this battle. They had also witnessed the strength of the Chrysanthemum Douluo, the Ghost Douluo, and the Poison Douluo with their own eyes, and they had deepened their understanding of the Spirit Hall.

The Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, was a very powerful Titled Douluo, and his strength greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. He had unleashed his Soul True Body in battle, and his strength had been extremely shocking.

Even though the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo had been defeated in the end, their strength was still extremely terrifying. They had even unleashed their soul fusion skill, the Polar Stillness Domain and it had been extremely powerful.

Even though the Polar Stillness Domain had been broken by the Sword Douluo, the Bone Douluo, and the Poison Douluo in the end, it had left a deep impression on everyone. The soul fusion skill of the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo was extremely terrifying.

The battle had also left a deep impression on the various academies and the empire's soul master legions. They had gained valuable experience from this battle, and it had deepened their understanding of the Spirit Hall.

The various academies and the empire's soul master legions all believed that they would eventually have to face the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall was extremely cunning and dangerous, and they had already infiltrated the Ten Great Sects. It was only a matter of time before they faced the Spirit Hall.

In the face of the Spirit Hall, the various academies and the empire's soul master legions had to be extremely cautious. They had to strengthen their defenses and be prepared for anything.

In the future, the battle between the various academies, the empire's soul master legions, and the Spirit Hall would become even more intense.

The battle between the Ten Great Sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and the Spirit Hall was just a prelude to the larger battle.

The Douluo Continent was about to face an even more intense battle.

In the end, the various academies and the empire's soul master legions all returned to their respective locations. The battle had ended, and everyone was discussing the battle.

Even though the battle had ended, the shockwaves of the battle had not yet dissipated. Everyone was still discussing the battle, and it had become a hot topic.

The Douluo Continent had been peaceful for too long, and a fierce battle had erupted. This had attracted the attention of many people, and everyone was extremely shocked.

This battle was extremely shocking, and it shook the entire Douluo Continent.

This was just the beginning of an even more intense battle.

The Douluo Continent was about to face an unprecedented crisis. Spirit Hall was about to make their move. In the face of this crisis, everyone had to be extremely cautious.

The Douluo Continent was about to face an even more intense battle.

The Spirit Hall was about to make their move.

In the face of this crisis, everyone had to be extremely cautious.
