Douluo Dalu: The World Suppressing Douluo

High above the Eternal Night Forest, at an altitude of a hundred meters, a blood bat cackled wildly while gripping Hu Liena, flapping its wings as it soared through the skies.

Dangling below her, Lin Ye clung tightly to Hu Liena's ankle, struggling to maintain his balance amidst the turbulence.

Unknowingly, as the blood bat flew across vast stretches of forest, a towering mountain appeared in Lin Ye's line of sight.

Upon spotting the mountain, the blood bat's sinister laughter grew louder, and it flapped its wings even faster. Soon, it carried Lin Ye and Hu Liena toward the lofty peak ahead.

The mountain was majestic, rising over a thousand meters. Verdant trees blanketed its lower regions, while the summit was covered in glistening white snow.

As the blood bat ascended the mountain toward its peak, Lin Ye suddenly noticed a dark cave halfway up the slope. It was evident that this cave was the blood bat's destination.

"Kehehe, we've arrived!"

With a gleeful laugh, the blood bat flung Lin Ye and Hu Liena toward the cave entrance.

Bang!

Lin Ye hit the ground hard, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

Though the fall wasn't enough to harm his body, Lin Ye feigned pain to deceive the blood bat. He put on a pained expression, as if his bones had been shattered, groaning as though in agony.

Meanwhile, he activated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, circulating his energy to make his face flush red, adding a convincing touch to his act.

"Kehehe, foolish little thing! I only intended to deal with the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall today. But since you insist on courting death alongside her, don't blame me for what happens next!"

After tossing Lin Ye and Hu Liena into the cave, the blood bat reverted to his human form, ending his martial spirit possession. Landing lightly, he grabbed Hu Liena and Lin Ye by their collars. With a sneer, he strode deeper into the cave, dragging them along like luggage.

The cave was pitch-black, its interior entirely obscured from view.

As they moved further in, the sight within gradually came into focus for Lin Ye.

The cave walls were dry and bare, made of hardened soil. Here and there stood half-petrified pillars left behind by partial erosion.

But as they ventured deeper, the horrifying scene unfolding before Lin Ye ignited a seething fury within him.

The ground was littered with corpses—some reduced to skeletal remains, others half-rotted. Dark red clumps of coagulated blood and dirt emitted a pungent stench. These were unmistakably the remnants of blood soaked into the earth.

The farther they went, the more numerous the corpses became. It was impossible to fathom how many people these evil soul masters had slaughtered.

The earlier reports of the Eternal Night City soul hunter groups going missing had hinted at the presence of these sinister practitioners. But the corpses here—most were neither from the hunter groups nor the nearby city. These were travelers, soul masters, nobles, and even peasants from nearby villages.

The sheer number of remains—over a hundred—stoked Lin Ye's fury.

Is this what evil soul masters are?

Human beings, with families, dreams, and loved ones, reduced to nothing more than fodder for cultivation. Just because their martial spirits required devouring others' life force to grow?

For such a cruel reason, these evil soul masters had annihilated countless lives. And this was despite the Spirit Hall's relentless suppression of their kind.

Lin Ye couldn't imagine how rampant they must have been during the eras before the Spirit Hall's existence.

To them, life is but a disposable number—a mere resource for their power.

Such scum, no—such monsters didn't deserve to exist in this world!

As Lin Ye walked deeper into the cave, he noticed remains of all sizes. Some belonged to adults, others to children—even infants. Many had decomposed into white bones due to the cave's damp conditions.

By the time they reached the innermost depths, Lin Ye had lost count of the bones. His restrained anger clawed at him, urging him to use the Titled Douluo experience card left behind by his father to crush this vile blood bat into dust.

But he held back.

Killing this blood bat now wouldn't suffice. This creature was merely an underling. Above him was the even more malevolent Blood Infant.

It was this Blood Infant's greed to ascend to the rank of Titled Douluo that had led to the atrocities here.

Lin Ye needed information—every shred of intelligence this blood bat had about the evil soul masters. Only then could he strike decisively.

Enduring the blood bat's grip, Lin Ye was dragged deeper into the cave before being carelessly tossed to the ground.

As he landed, a soft body crashed onto him, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

It was Hu Liena. The warm breath tickling his neck confirmed her identity. Her body lay limply atop him, her softness pressing against his back.

"Cough… cough…"

Feigning pain, Lin Ye let out a few weak coughs before struggling to sit up. Gently, he moved Hu Liena off him and to his side.

The sight before him rendered him speechless.

In the deepest part of the cave, countless blood-red vines writhed like venomous snakes, their roots tangled among a mountain of bones. These bones, stripped of flesh, were tightly entwined by the vines.

At the center of it all, the thickest vine bore a blooming blood-red flower, radiating an eerie allure.

"How does it look? Beautiful, isn't it?"

The blood bat's hoarse voice echoed through the cave.

In the dim light, the blood bat stood before the vines, gazing at the crimson flower with rapturous delight.

"Do you see this flower, boy? It's the culmination of the Bloodthirsty Vine absorbing the essence of thousands of peasants and hundreds of soul masters. Once it fully matures and bears fruit, it will be the perfect offering to Lord Blood Infant!"

The blood bat spread his arms wide, his voice trembling with excitement.

It was as if cultivating this flower and presenting it to the Blood Infant was his life's greatest achievement.
