Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers
Chapter 461 The Demise of the Heavenly Soul Empire
Feixiao didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
She knew that this was the only thing she could do, and the only thing she had to do.
Taking someone away was no problem for her.
The main adversaries of the two Great Lords of the Sun Moon Empire were not actually her and Jing Yuan. As long as she did not launch a large-scale attack, they would not waste too much energy on her.
If she wants to leave, no one can stop her, and no one will stop her.
Having received Feixiao's promise, Emperor Tianhun felt as if the last huge weight had been lifted from his heart.
He straightened his back, gripped the holy sword tightly again, took one last look at the dark mass of troops outside the city, then suddenly raised the holy sword high and, with all his soul power, issued his final command as emperor.
"Soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire—"
"For the Empire! For Glory!"
"war--!!!"
"war!!!"
"war--!!!"
On the city walls, all the Soul Masters and generals of the Heavenly Soul Empire responded to their emperor with the loudest and most resolute roars.
This roar seemed to be a signal.
The massive war machine of the Sun and Moon Empire has finally begun to operate.
"Fire."
The cold, emotionless commands were transmitted to every warship and every soul-guided gun emplacement via the soul-guided communication device.
The next moment, the light in Tiandou City was completely extinguished.
Hundreds of thousands of soul-guided rays of all shapes and sizes poured down from the sky like a dense rainstorm.
Red high-explosive rays, blue armor-piercing rays, green corrosive rays, purple paralyzing rays... countless beams of light representing death converged into a torrent of energy capable of destroying everything, slamming into the layered, interconnected defensive shield of Tiandou City, painstakingly built by generations of people.
"Buzz!!!!"
A massive, semi-transparent energy shield lit up above Tiandou City, its light dazzling and radiant, like an artificial sun.
However, this sun shone for less than three seconds before it groaned in despair under the onslaught of the endless torrent of energy.
The surface of the shield began to ripple violently, and the light dimmed at a visible speed.
Inside the city, the Soul Masters responsible for maintaining the protective shield were pale-faced and bleeding from the corners of their mouths. They frantically channeled their Soul Power into the energy core, but their Soul Power was as insignificant as a stream in the face of that vast, ocean-like attack.
At the same time, high in the sky, the battle between the Title Douluos also broke out instantly.
"Disciples of the Body Sect, follow me and kill!"
Poison Undying let out a deafening roar, and his soul rings shone brightly.
He didn't fly; instead, he pushed off the city wall with both legs.
"boom!"
He trampled a huge crater into the solid city wall, and he himself shot into the sky like a cannonball, crashing directly into the Title Douluo camp of the Sun Moon Empire.
"kill!"
More than a dozen elders of the Body Sect also unleashed their own Body Martial Soul True Forms, following closely behind.
Their fighting style is the most primitive, savage, and purest in the entire Douluo Continent.
All they believed in was their own hard-won physical bodies.
However, they were facing the Sun Moon Empire's retainers, who were equipped with the latest generation of exoskeleton armor and targeted soul tools.
Just as an elder of the Body Sect shattered an enemy's protective soul power with a punch using his arm, which was hardened like divine iron, and was about to tear him apart, a binding net made of high-intensity energy suddenly shot out from the side.
Caught off guard, he was caught in the net, and his movements froze instantly.
This delay gave the enemy an opportunity.
Three level-nine soul-guided rays, already aimed at him and imbued with armor-piercing and shock-inducing effects, struck his chest precisely in a triangular formation.
"puff!"
The elder's prized physical body was instantly pierced by this specifically targeted attack.
He looked down in disbelief at the three gaping holes in his chest, his eyes quickly losing their sparkle.
Such scenes played out in every corner of the battlefield.
The titled Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire were at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers, equipment, and tactical coordination.
They were like a group of ancient warriors wielding swords and spears, fighting against a modern army equipped with machine guns and tanks.
Their courage was commendable, but the outcome was already predetermined.
On the city wall, Jing Yuan and Fei Xiao watched all this quietly without making a move.
Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. His divine sense had already locked onto the area behind the Sun Moon Empire's army formation, an area that appeared to be empty and was shrouded in distorted light.
He could sense the ethereal aura emanating from there.
Like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, it quietly and with great interest watched this one-sided massacre.
If they were to make their move now, they could easily defeat these Title Douluos below.
But if that happens, Huanlong will inevitably have to leave the game as well.
At that time, it won't be a battle at the Title Douluo level, but a god-level duel.
The aftershocks of their battle were enough to wipe Tian Dou City, along with its millions of inhabitants, off the map in an instant.
After the Sun Moon Empire occupied the cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire, it did not attack civilians. He and Fei Xiao did not attack because they wanted more civilians to survive.
As for the soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire who were slaughtered, they were already prepared when they stepped onto the battlefield.
This is war.
The course of the war proceeded exactly as Jing Yuan had anticipated.
In less than an hour, the coordinated defensive shield of Tiandou City, after several rounds of saturation attacks, finally collapsed completely with a crisp sound like shattering glass, turning into countless specks of light and dissipating.
"Fight in!"
The cold command was issued.
On the ground, the mech legion, resembling a steel forest, began its heavy march.
The Antimatter Legion and the Steppe Legion, like two sharpest blades, charged towards the breach in the city wall from the left and right flanks.
The soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire used their flesh and blood to build the last line of defense.
But how can flesh and blood withstand steel?
A werewolf, wielding its sharp claws, easily tore a row of shield-wielding soldiers to shreds, shields and all.
A giant mech tens of meters tall can crush an entire Soul Master squad into mincemeat with a single stomp.
The black energy ball fired by the illusory soldier was silent, yet it could erase a small section of the city wall along with the guards on it, leaving no trace.
This is a massacre.
Tiandou City is being rapidly captured.
High in the sky, the Heavenly Soul Emperor was covered in blood. His golden dragon armor was shattered and his holy sword was riddled with nicks.
He no longer had any living companions by his side.
"Hahaha...I have lived up to the expectations of my ancestors."
He let out a tragic laugh, and instead of retreating, he advanced to meet the five Sun Moon Empire retainers who had surrounded him.
"Heavenly Soul, never to fall." He burned his last bit of soul power and life force, transforming into a dazzling golden sword light, and resolutely charged towards the enemy.
The sword light flashed, then quickly went out.
The last emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire died in battle.
On another battlefield, Poison Undying was also at its wit's end.
His original martial spirit body, which was comparable to divine iron, was now covered with deep, bone-revealing wounds. Several of these wounds were also covered with strange energy that could not be dispelled and was eroding his life force.
"Cough cough... The Body Sect... has no cowards."
He coughed up a mouthful of black blood, looked at his fellow disciples who had fallen around him, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by madness.
He abandoned all defense, letting several attacks bombard him, but used his arms to tightly embrace a titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Let's... hit the road together."
Poison Undying let out a final roar, and at this moment, his soul core and life essence were completely detonated in the most tragic way.
"boom--!!!!!"
A small mushroom cloud rose slowly in the sky above Tiandou City.
The terrifying energy storm swept up the Title Douluo he was holding, along with several other Title Douluos who were unable to dodge in time, and instantly turned them into ashes.
The once-powerful and heroic sect leader, Du Busi, ended his domineering and tragic life by self-destructing.
Nearly ten titled Douluo elders of the Body Sect died in battle.
Most of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family's own retainers also perished in battle.
The tide is gone.
On the city wall, Jing Yuan sighed silently.
"Feixiao, that's enough."
Feixiao nodded, and her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Deep within the palace, in a secret chamber.
Princess Vina was kneeling on the ground, with rows of soul-guided devices in front of her, each with countless points of light.
The extinguishing of each point of light signifies the fall of a core member of the royal family or a top powerhouse of the empire.
Just now, the two most prominent points of light representing her father and the Poison Immortal also went out completely.
Tears silently streamed down her beautiful face, dripping onto the cold ground.
But there was no hysterical sadness on her face, nor any despair as if she wanted to die.
She just silently shed tears, her beautiful eyes burning with a flame beyond her years.
She knew her mission.
What her father gave his life for was not to let her cry here, but to let her live, to live on with the blood of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, and with the hope of restoring the kingdom.
"Vina, it's time to go."
Feixiao's figure appeared silently behind her.
Vina slowly stood up and wiped away the tears on her face.
She took one last look at the extinguished lights, burying that deep-seated hatred and sorrow deep within her heart.
"Sister Feixiao, let's go."
Feixiao nodded and put his hand on her shoulder.
With a flash of light, the two vanished without a trace from the secret room.
Thus, the battle of Tiandou City came to an end.
The Heavenly Soul Empire has been destroyed.
In the shadows, the aftershocks of this war continue to reverberate.
On the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire, an elite reinforcement force dispatched by the Douling Empire and led by three Title Douluos is marching at high speed.
However, a black figure blocked their path.
It was a man dressed in a long black robe and wearing a hood. He simply stood there quietly, and his icy aura, cold enough to freeze the soul, made the entire army stop in their tracks.
Behind him stood a dozen or so men in black exuding an aura of evil and misfortune—powerful figures from the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Anyone who crosses this line shall die."
Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes that gleamed with a cold light beneath his hood.
His response was the furious roar and charge of the Douling Empire's reinforcements.
Half an hour later, all that remained was a frozen, desolate battlefield and wreckage scattered everywhere.
The Douling Empire's reinforcements were completely wiped out.
On the other side, at the border between Xingluo and the Sun and Moon Empire.
An army composed of the most elite Soul Master legion of the Star Luo Empire also stopped in its tracks.
Opposite them was the most advanced Soul Master Legion of the Sun Moon Empire, personally led by Orange.
Both sides aimed their cannons at each other, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
However, neither of the commanders gave the order to open fire.
Orange stood on the flagship's command platform, gazing at the Star Luo Army formation opposite her with a complex expression.
She knew that there was a tacit understanding between Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo and Lu Jingming, whom she served, that was unknown to outsiders.
Her task was not to start a war, but merely to hold the enemy back and make a show of it.
The top leaders of both sides watched with tacit agreement as the once mighty Heavenly Soul Empire perished in flames.
Sun and Moon Empire, New Ming Capital, Imperial Palace.
Unlike the oppressive atmosphere of Tiandou City, which was shrouded in war and tragedy, the air here was filled with an almost frozen tension and anticipation.
Inside the magnificent council hall, the lights were so bright that every inch of the resplendent decorations was dazzling.
But this light could not dispel the gloom in the hearts of everyone present.
Dozens of the empire's highest-ranking civil and military officials, dressed in magnificent robes and gleaming medals, stood on either side, yet none dared to utter a sound, even deliberately keeping their breathing slow and gentle.
All eyes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, were drawn to the enormous throne at the very top of the hall, constructed of rare metals.
On the throne sat a young man.
He was handsome, but his handsomeness was ruined by his eyes, which were filled with malice and ambition, and the lingering ferocity between his brows.
His legs were covered by a thick blanket, concealing his already mutilated limbs.
He is Xu Tianran, the current iron-fisted ruler of the Sun Moon Empire.
At this moment, he rested his chin on one hand, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were dozing. But the occasional twitch of his eyebrows and the way he gripped the armrest of the throne so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white from the excessive force revealed his inner turmoil.
He is waiting.
He awaited the news that would determine the fate of the empire and whether he could truly take the first step towards an eternal dynasty.
The main hall was deathly silent, except for a finely crafted soul communication core floating beside Xu Tianran, which emitted a soft, rhythmic "beep" sound.
Suddenly, the rhythm of the "beep beep" sound changed, becoming more rapid.
A pale blue light screen projected from the communication core, on which lines of text representing the highest level of encrypted military intelligence rapidly appeared like flowing water. (End of Chapter)
