Chapter 321: Saint
"But you are all inheritors. In a fight, what matters is whose affinity and mastery of divine power are greater."
"If it were the you of old, you might not match this person. But now, you are different…"
"If you could devour the power of Asura, there would be no way this person could stand against you."
Rakshasa God spoke truthfully.
A puppet controlled by the power of the Rakshasa God could never defeat its opponent.
"What is happening with the Sea God?"
Rakshasa God was puzzled.
Yesterday, the Sea God's inheritance had not yet descended to the lower realm, but today his inheritor has already completed at least the Seven Trials? Isn't that far too lenient?
Well, he really is letting things slide—after all, he is the Sea God!
"Hmm…should I lower the difficulty of the divine trials a bit?"
Rakshasa God fell into thought.
"No—even if I can no longer remain in the divine realm, I cannot be this irresponsible.
Even if I am not responsible to the divine realm, I must be responsible to the inheritors.
To master the power of the Rakshasa God, one must endure tribulations and a purification of the soul. Only by understanding the true meaning of slaughter can one truly wield the Rakshasa God's power.
Can I restore the rank of Rakshasa God to the Divine King…?"
Rakshasa God's murmurs were not clear to Bibi Dong, for it had been more than eighteen years since she received the Rakshasa God's inheritance.
Yet the reward she received still did not compare to that of Yu Yuanzhen.
Both were first-tier divine inheritances—why was there such a gap?
Look at what Yu Yuanzhen held in his hand!
It was an artifact!
Why didn't I get one? Bibi Dong thought with envy.
"Are you trying to kill me?"
Tuoba Xi was stunned.
A demigod!
Although he did not know exactly what realm a demigod represented,
to claim godhood—even as a demigod—was surely not a sign of weakness!
Just look at Yu Yuanzhen's soul rings: six ten-thousand-year rings and three hundred-thousand-year rings!
All of Tuoba Xi's soul rings combined might not equal the age of one of those rings…
What merit do I have to deserve a demigod's intervention!?
A ninety-nine-rated Title Douluo!
"I give up, I give up!"
"I'll go back and change my name right now!"
Tuoba Xi's heart sank instantly, his gaze clearing. His ambition was shattered in that moment.
He had dreamed of replacing the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Sect after breaking through to Title Douluo.
But reality delivered a harsh slap.
Even without unleashing his martial soul, that person was enough to subdue him, an Earth Dragon.
Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus is truly the world's strongest beast martial soul!
"Changing my name to White Armored Earth Dragon Sect wouldn't be so bad…" he muttered.
Yu Yuanzhen nodded, then retracted his martial soul and the Sea God's Trident.
He swept his gaze across the arena.
These people had long coveted the seats of the three upper sects, but their strength did not merit those positions!
How dare mere Douluos boast of winning one of the three sect seats?
No one dared meet Yu Yuanzhen's gaze. Because of a single name, Holy Dragon Sect was taught a lesson by this overwhelmingly powerful presence.
What could they do if he picked a fight over something else?
At that moment, a voice rang out.
"As befits the grandfather of our deity, since you are here, we shall not intervene for now."
"Praise our God!"
"May the Thunder God King be with you!"
"Farewell!"
"???"
Everyone looked blankly toward the source of the voice and saw several believers bearing the Divine Eye of Thunder.
They wore purple robes, their faces reverent, and traces of purple lightning flickered in their eyes.
To the shock of Huyan Zhen and the others, this group not only possessed the Divine Eye, but each of them had nine soul rings.
In other words, all of these people were Title Douluo‑level powerhouses.
"It's the Thunder God Hall, the Saints of the Thunder God Hall!"
Those present knew something of this emerging force, the Thunder God Hall.
The Thunder God Hall recruits only those who possess the Divine Eye.
And they have but one creed: the Thunder God King, Kong!
The Thunder God Hall has no official ranks, only distinctions based on the depth of one's devotion to the Thunder God King.
Saints: only those who have reached Douluo level, have received the Thunder God's blessing, and possess the Divine Eye can be called Saints.
Fanatics: only those who have reached Soul Emperor level, have received the Thunder God's blessing, and possess the Divine Eye can be called Fanatics.
The followers of the Thunder God Hall pay no heed to the affairs of the Douluo Continent.
They focus on action—spreading the deeds of the Thunder God King while redeeming others.
They strike down darkness!
This fulfills the Thunder God King's decree: shatter the darkness with thunder!
Because of their presence, countless calamities have been averted on the Douluo Continent.
Many families have been saved.
Meanwhile, once‑notorious nobles now keep their heads low, for who knows when a member of the Thunder God Hall might pass by.
These people, already powerful soul masters by virtue of the Divine Eye, often form teams of three to five.
No noble dares offend them.
At its founding, the Thunder God Hall was established by several Title Douluo powerhouses together with more than 3,500 Soul Grandmasters and above.
Through the baptism of faith, their innate talents were enhanced and old hidden injuries healed.
Their ranks grew ever larger as they carried out the Thunder God King's mission.
Receiving the Divine Eye does not require one to be a soul master beforehand.
But the moment one obtains the Divine Eye, one's body is cleansed by its elemental power.
Regardless of past status, at that moment one becomes a soul master.
"Saints of the Thunder God Hall in Spirit City—could someone among us have committed a heinous crime?"
At these words, everyone exchanged glances. As soul masters, who hasn't done such things at some point?
The appearance of Saints meant that someone here must have committed an outrage that the Thunder God Hall's Saints discovered.
That was why they came—to silence the culprit.
This was no mere visit: a handful of Title Douluo powerhouses had come in person. It was unthinkable what atrocity had been committed.
Upon hearing this, an unnamed sect leader just over level eighty went pale.
He nearly collapsed.
Fortunately, he masked it in time.
He could not fathom how the Thunder God Hall learned of that matter.
No—on what authority could they judge others?
He was powerful and accustomed to tyranny—why should he be "supervised"?
"It's only about a hundred people—was all this really necessary?"
Even now, he still did not believe he'd done anything wrong.
If one is strong, why not do as one pleases?
Look at Yu Yuanzhen—his strength is such that he made Tuoba Xi change his sect name. Change it, or die!
He was a proud Douluo—what were ordinary people to him…
