Soon, the massive Earth Vein Dragon transformed into a soul spirit and appeared beside Shi Quan. Shi Quan also held a strange, earthy-yellow left arm Spirit Bone in his hand.
Shi Quan's entire body was now complete, with only this left arm bone missing.
When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion voluntarily transformed into a soul spirit and merged, the skull also merged into Shi Quan's head.
"Earth Vein, you should stay in the hundred treasure pouch for a while. After I Fusion your Spirit Bone with this Titan Giant Ape Spirit Bone, we can absorb them together then."
"Everything is according to your arrangement, My Lord." Earth Vein replied in a muffled voice, looking very honest and simple.
Shi Quan had been continuously strengthening the Titan Giant Ape's left arm bone. Its age limit was now 600,000 years. Merging it with the 250,000-year-old Earth Vein Dragon's left arm bone would push this Spirit Bone's age limit close to 800,000 years, saving Shi Quan a lot of effort.
Shi Quan nodded, raised his hand, and with a swipe, brought the Earth Vein Dragon's soul spirit into the hundred treasure pouch, then soared away.
He did not return directly to the Reincarnation Palace's territory but flew straight towards the Lord's Manor's territory.
Lord's Manor.
This territory originally did not exist, but in order to jointly confront the Reincarnation Palace, eight Lords each carved out a piece of land from their respective territories to form a special territory.
It was jointly managed by the Lords and was also the gathering place for the Lord's Manor to discuss important matters.
Inside the Lord's Manor's deliberation hall.
"The Reincarnation Palace's influence is growing, and we cannot continue to let it develop like this. We must take the initiative to attack."
A middle-aged man with a gloomy expression suggested.
"Don't forget that besides the 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, there is also a mysterious powerhouse in the Reincarnation Palace. He is the one who instantly killed the Lord of Panlong."
"If we really have to face him, who among you is confident enough to be his opponent?"
"If one person isn't enough, then we'll attack together. No matter how strong he is, he's just one person. If we keep delaying, we might as well surrender now and perhaps get a better position in the Reincarnation Palace."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" A burly middle-aged man roared in anger.
"Enough!" The grim-faced man in the center of the hall slammed his hand down, and everyone present immediately quieted down.
"Long Yi, what do you think?" The grim-faced man's expression was uncertain as he turned to look at a long-haired man sitting beside him.
"The Reincarnation Palace is currently on a roll. A direct confrontation would only result in mutual destruction, but delaying is indeed not an option."
"You mean?"
"Let's launch a decapitation strike." Long Yi, the middle-aged man, a glint flashing in his eyes, whispered, "The mysterious powerhouse of the Reincarnation Palace has only made one move, but we don't know his exact strength, nor do we know if his strike back then came at any special cost."
"It's just that his strike was too astonishing, which is why all of us have an unknown fear of him, but is that really the case? We don't know."
"We cannot let fear blind us. The Reincarnation Palace's initial goal was to unify the continent, so they certainly won't allow our existence. Instead of passively waiting, let's take the initiative to attack once."
"All Lords above the Spirit Douluo level will participate in this decapitation strike."
"Decapitation, as the name suggests, means severing the enemy's head and leader. We will infiltrate the Reincarnation Palace together and launch a surprise attack. The primary target is naturally that mysterious powerhouse. If that doesn't work, we can also settle for a secondary goal and find a way to eliminate one of their 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, letting them know that our Lord's Manor is not to be trifled with either."
"Exactly!" Long Yi's words immediately gained the support of most of those present.
The reason they joined the Lord's Manor was to maintain their original territories. If they were to slowly die by delaying like this, it was certainly not the outcome they wanted to see.
"Then let's vote." The grim-faced man at the side already knew that the outcome was decided, but he still followed the rules and had everyone vote by a show of hands.
Just then, a massive inky-black pillar of light descended from the sky, directly engulfing Long Yi.
Long Yi, one of the two Titled Douluo of the Lord's Manor, simply vanished from his spot.
Everyone present jolted up, looking in horror at the scene before them.
A figure stepped out from the Void Realm, and an ethereal voice came, "Decapitation strike, a very good plan. It aligns perfectly with what I had in mind."
It was Shi Quan, who had arrived from the Dragon Blood Forest.
"Who are you?!" The grim-faced man's forehead dripped with cold sweat as he nervously stared at Shi Quan, who had suddenly appeared beside him.
"Weren't you just discussing me?" Shi Quan replied with a faint smile, his calm voice seemingly carrying endless pressure.
"You are the mysterious powerhouse of the Reincarnation Palace?" The grim-faced man subconsciously took a step back.
The crowd, who had just been eager to launch a sneak attack, were instantly deceiving upon hearing this. They had only heard about the Lord of Panlong's incident, but now Shi Quan had directly annihilated a Titled Douluo right before their eyes.
Furthermore, not a single one of them had even reacted.
The psychological fear was instantly amplified to its extreme by this strike.
"Within seven days, everyone will surrender and offer me your sincere respect, otherwise, I don't mind eliminating all of you and casting all of your Souls into Hell!"
The calm voice was like ice, sending a bone-chilling coldness through everyone's hearts.
"He is the example!" Shi Quan raised his hand and grabbed, pulling out Long Yi's Soul. With a gentle squeeze of his right hand, as Long Yi's Soul regained clarity, he began to let out a mournful wail.
Although no sound was heard, everyone present clearly felt Long Yi's painful screams and the torment he was experiencing.
Everyone was shocked and their expressions changed in horror.
If the previous words had felt a chill through their hearts, then these last two words instantly transformed the earlier coldness into terrifying frigidity. That powerful pressure instantly turned the faces of everyone present pale, and those with weaker strength had already stumbled backward and collapsed to the ground.
This...
Most of those present were in a temporary state of mental paralysis. After regaining their senses, they realized that the mysterious person before them could not be compared with ordinary logic. Just the terrifying pressure he exuded had already elevated his existence to an unprecedented level.
How strong the mysterious person before them was, they simply couldn't imagine.
God?
A bold idea sprouted in the hearts of the crowd, but it seemed to be the only explanation that made sense. Commanding 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, their so-called supreme powerhouses, were merely beings that could be effortlessly wiped out in the eyes of the person before them. Besides a God, they couldn't think of any other word to describe Shi Quan before them.
Combined with the Reincarnation faith promoted by the Reincarnation Palace, and the methods Shi Quan had just displayed!
Besides a God, could a human possess such abilities?
To them, it was undoubtedly impossible!
