The Path Of The Great Sovereign - Chapter 131
Tatsuo, Nel, Daisuke, Dugu Bo, Tang Hao, Ah Yin, the students of Tan Academy, along with 3 Titled Douluo of the Empire were on board a ship headed to the Douluo Continent. The Ship was a Destroy class Ship part of the Night Imperial Navy capable of breaking through the barrier of aquatic Spirit Beast in Oceans of the planet with its powerful spirit cannons and other weapons.
Currently below deck The Rank 95 Poison Douluo: Dugu Bo, The Rank 97 Clear Sky Douluo: Tang Huo, The Rank 93 World Breaker Douluo: Airi Natsume, The Rank 91 High Seas Douluo: Kiyoko Abe, The Rank 96 Sure-Shot Douluo Mie Abe, The Rank 100 Blazing Flame Douluo: Neliel Tu Odelschwanck-Shiba, and The Rank 101 Zen Dragon God: Tatsuo Shiba were discussing who would defend the ship upon a beast attack and the course of events of the tournament.
“If the beast is above 100,000 years old the cannons will be pretty ineffective in dispatching it which is why all the Captains of the 20 sh.i.p.s we currently have are Spirit Douluo or Titled Douluo as Beast attacks are quite prevalent on the journey to the Continent.” -Kiyoko
“Due to this, His Majesty uses the voyage from the Island to the Continent as an opportunity for the Citizens and Students of Tai Tan no Seika to acquire spirit rings while also securing the route back and forth making trade routes safer.” – Mie
“The Sea is also where we acquire most of the food that feeds our 11 million citizens, the Large ocean which surrounds Acaydia is home to numerous species of sea life. These Spirit Beast have been given Thousands of years to spawn numerous children which outnumber us, humans, A million to one, therefore, fishing has become a major source of income which will not decline for many decades.” – Daisuke
“Usually either Airi, Kiyoko, or Mie would eliminate the hostile Spirit Beasts before they can attack the ship. However, this is my opportunity to see the Famed Clear Sky Douluo and Poison Douluo in action so you will be in charge of this. Also when we get to the venue the Emperor of Heavens Duo, Star Luo and the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall will be present. Tang Hao, you will, of course, show your face as there is no longer a need for you to be in Hiding as you are now one of My Pillars.” -Tatsuo
“My Husband is right, Throughout numerous battles no matter the foe we have never had a reason to bow our heads. Now I am an Empress with the lives of an entire Empire under my protection if one of my citizens has a problem they cannot resolve on their own it is my duty to defend them. As the Blazing Flame Douluo and Empress of the Night Empire, I will burn our code of conduct into the Skulls of all opposition whether Human or Beast.” -Nel
When Nel said this her Spirit Power escaped her body slightly causing the temperature in the cabin to skyrocket. The Crystal utensils in which the refreshments were placed within began to melt as the Face of Tang Hao and Ah Yin displayed shock and a renewed sense of belonging.
Tatsuo looked at his wife as her outburst made him think of his former plans.
‘I intended to wait until Tang San and the rest of Shreks Seven Devils participate before making any major movements but if the Spirit Hall decides to attack I will allow Nel to respond appropriately.’
Their Voyage continued as they planned out the Royal Entrance of the Emperor and Empress of the newly forged Night Empire. Powered by the Spirit Power of the sailors aboard the Destroyer Class Flagship of the Imperial Navy: Ichizo’s Fury moved swiftly through the seas.
With the Douluo Continent in sight below the surface of the water, a large sea Spirit Beast moved swiftly toward the vessel. On the Ship, the conversation between the Titled Douluo was in full swing as they all got familiar with each other and shared stories as the Emperor and Empress sat to the side looking out the porthole at the sea.
Nel was feeding Tatsuo a small cake when his eyes sharpened as he sensed the approaching threat. Nel noticed the change in him yet didn’t say anything because he too remained silent.
The Students were in another cabin planning out their battle strategy even though their victory was pretty much assured due to the disparity in Spirit Rank between them and their opponents they did not underestimate their foes.
The Ship moved steadily through the calm waters as it was on schedule to dock in the Star Luo Empire’s Raising Dragon Kingdom within the next two hours as the sailor grew complacent due to the Calm voyage along the sea.
As the Spirit Beast approached within 50 Meters of the Ship the laughter and conversation in the cabin with the Titled Douluo ceased as they all became serious and looked over at the Emperor who was still being fed sweets by the Empress.
“A 100,000-year-old spirit beast looks like this is your lucky day Little Poison and Little Heavenly, as you get to show to me the power you have gained.”
Tatsuo said this as his eyes never left Nel’s face, the duo made a wryly smile at each other before leaving their new comrades and they headed to the deck of the ship.
The Spirit Beast broke the surface of the water and attempted to attack the Ship when a hammer kissed its jaw forcing it back into the waters below.
Standing on the deck of the ship Tang Hao and Dugu Bo stood with their Spirit Rings ready overlooking the ripples of the water where the Spirit Beast was sent.
“A 100,000-year-old Berserker Megalodon, His Majesty is quite tough when it comes to tests. This particular beast must have at least passed the 500,000-year mark and has at least 2/10th of divinity maybe more. This won’t be easy Heavenly.”
Tang Hao just nodded his head as his Hammer was firmly in his Right hand awaiting the Beasts next attack.
Beneath the waters, a loud roar was heard which shook the waters sending out shockwaves causing a massive wave that towered over the ship.
“Tch, Such Childs Play.”
Dugu Bo activated his 7th Spirit Ring which materialized his Spirit the Jade Phosphor Hydra, the Hydra was at least 100 Meters in length as it’s body wrapped around the Ship. It’s Five heads looked at the incoming wave as it released a stream of poisonous venom from it’s mouths. The Poisonous stream met the wave with a loud clash resembling a thunderclap causing water and poison to rain down on the boat and the waters below.
Standing on the middle Head of the Hydra Tang Hao and Dugu Bo waited for the Berserker Megalodon to surface.
“That poison will cause some of the Sailors to get poisoned you maniac!”
“Why are you so worried? I made the poison so of course, I have the antidote! Focus!”
The Megalodons Fin was spotted on the surface of the water as it changed from a deep blue color to a bright Red Color.
“So troublesome it’s gone berserk.”
Dugu frowned and directed his Jade Phosphor Hydra to attack the Megalodon head on. Letting out a hiss the Hydra dove into the water as Dugu Bo and Tang Hao used their Spirit Power to create an air pocket around them.
“Hmm, the Spirit Power of the collective Titled Douluo and His Majesty must have attracted this Spirit Beast. Seeing an opportunity to advance its own cultivation it disregarded the dangers and decided to attack us.” -Tang Hao
“Maybe we don’t have to kill it. Ah Yin is a spirit beast as well, the pinnacle of an entire species no less. She could use this opportunity to assimilate with the beast and become a Spirit Douluo.”
“I hadn’t thought of that.”
The two had this conversation as the Jade Phosphor Hydra’s Five heads dug its fangs into the massive body of the beast. Tang Hao raised his Clear Sky Hammer as Dugu Bo Activated his 9th Spirit ring.
“‘Poisonous Sky Hammer!’”
Above the Water in the Clear sky above as the sun shined its brilliant rays upon the Planet which nurture all life a Massive Steel and Green colored hammer Materialized itself for all to see. On the Coast, of the Douluo Continent, the Spirit Cultivators could see the appearance in vivid detail. These eyes were not all in awe of the power it radiated some were in disgust as it meant one thing. The Return of the Clear Sky Clan.
Dugu Bo’s nine Spirit Rings and Tang Hao’s made the Hammer even more distinguishable to these prying eyes as they saw not the Black rings but 10 Red Spirit Rings. All these details eventually found their way to the ears of the Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong.
