Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor

Although Sea God Island is a land of divine inheritance, where every soul master can receive the Sea God's divine trial upon coming of age to enhance their cultivation and talent, as the eldest among the Seven Sacred Pillars, Sea Dragon Douluo was well aware of his limitations.

Even with the divine trial, the total number of Title Douluos on Sea God Island was only eight, including the high priest Bo Saixi, leaving only seven among the Sacred Pillars. The weakest among them, Sea Maiden Douluo, was at level 92, while Sea Dragon Douluo himself, the strongest, was barely at level 95—just stepping into the threshold of a Super Douluo.

The problem was that the Douluo Continent's Spirit Hall alone boasted more than ten Super Douluos on the surface. Their number of Super Douluos exceeded the number of Title Douluos on Sea God Island, and their Title Douluos outnumbered the Soul Douluos on the island. This disparity meant that apart from the high priest, the soul masters of Sea God Island were almost completely outmatched.

Even though the sea soul masters had the advantage of environmental bonuses in the ocean—confident enough that even a Soul Douluo could contend with a land-based Title Douluo—the sheer disparity in numbers made it impossible for Sea God Island's high-level soul masters to stand against Spirit Hall in a full-scale confrontation.

After Spirit Hall had once sent two Title Douluos and a large number of soul masters to invade Sea God Island but failed, Sea Dragon Douluo had looked down on Spirit Hall, thinking the soul masters of the mainland were nothing special. However, after two Ultimate Douluos, whose strength was second only to the high priest, descended upon the island, Sea Dragon Douluo reluctantly began to treat Spirit Hall as equals.

Now, after personally traveling to the Douluo Continent and understanding the state of affairs, Sea Dragon Douluo finally realized that if Spirit Hall had launched a full-scale attack on Sea God Island back then, even with the high priest present, the island might not have escaped destruction.

Sitting in a corner, Sea Dragon Douluo sipped the cheapest ale, feeling deeply frustrated. While he was drinking gloomily, the tavern door swung open again, and a tall figure walked in.

To be honest, the flow of people coming and going in the tavern was far too common for Sea Dragon Douluo to care about who entered or left. The issue, however, was that the person who entered at this particular moment was far too unusual in Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes.

Although the sharp-headed figure tried to suppress the killing intent and bloodthirst emanating from his body, Sea Dragon Douluo immediately sensed the strong aura of blood on him—a sign of someone who had recently killed many lives.

Frankly, while Sea Dragon Douluo disliked Spirit Hall, he acknowledged their policies against evil soul masters, considering it one of the few commendable things Spirit Hall did. Sea Dragon Douluo was not interested in actively hunting fallen ones across the Douluo Continent, but if such a person appeared in front of him, he would not hesitate to enforce the Sea God's authority and eliminate them—these evildoers were unwelcome both on land and at sea.

The moment he caught the scent of blood, Sea Dragon Douluo instinctively narrowed his eyes and looked at the man entering the tavern. One glance, and he immediately realized something extraordinary.

"Bone age around fourteen or fifteen, the aura of a Soul Ancestor? This talent is remarkable. If he were on the island, he might have been a candidate for inheriting one of the Sacred Pillars."
