Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 468 The Inevitable Victory of the Star Luo Empire? The Ghost Emperor's Scheme!

"Insanity!"

Dai Tianling looked at the messages and laughed in anger.

Upon seeing this information, Enci, who was standing to the side, also showed a look of confusion in her old and deep eyes.

"Jiang Xiu didn't impose any restrictions? Is he confident he can defeat our entire Star Luo Empire?"

He knew very well that this decision was crucial to the future of both the Federation and the Star Luo Empire, and that Jiang Xiu's proposed conditions were so outrageous and arbitrary.

"Hmph!" Dai Tianling snorted coldly, "This Jiang Xiu not only wants to subjugate our Star Luo Empire, but he's probably also trying to use us to establish his authority!"

Upon hearing this, Enci's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Jiang Xiu had indeed just been nominated by the Federation, so it was not unreasonable for him to use their Star Luo Empire to establish their authority.

But who gave Jiang Xiu, a Contra Douluo, the courage?

As far as he knew, Jiang Xiu was not a reckless person.

After a moment's thought, Enci shook his head. He really couldn't figure it out, but for the current Star Luo Empire, this was indeed good news.

Immediately, Enci slowly said, "Your Majesty, since Jiang Xiu has brought it up, then we shall agree."

“But for my Star Luo Empire to accept such a challenge would be a disgrace to the nation,” Dai Tianling said with a hint of anger.

“Face is less important than national dignity,” Enci said softly.

"I know, but I still feel indignant," Dai Tianling said, suppressing his emotions.
"Since he dares to be so arrogant, then I will show him that our Star Luo Empire is not a pushover that he can manipulate at will!"

He was clearly not a ruler who could be blinded by anger, given that he was valued by Grace.

Although they were humiliated, on the other hand, they were even less willing to face the Federation's powerful army than Jiang Xiu.

After all, no matter how strong Jiang Xiu is, he is still just one person. Can he be stronger than the Federal Army?
"As for the mecha, let Huang Zhengyang, the Pillar of the Empire, fight. As for the weapons, let Chu Tiange, the Bloodthirsty Douluo, fight with the royal artifacts."

After deciding to accept the challenge, Dai Tianling immediately began arranging the selection of personnel.

But when weapons were mentioned, a hint of resentment flashed in Dai Tianling's eyes.

If those thieves hadn't stolen the Vajra Bracelet, the national treasure of his Star Luo Empire, they would have won this battle by default.

Furthermore, those thieves not only stole the Vajra Bracelet, but also took away the land of his Star Luo Empire that was engraved with a demigod-level array!

However, it would be fine as long as the Vajra Bracelet, which can forcibly contain other divine artifacts, is not currently in the hands of Jiang Xiu, who is participating in the duel.

"As for soul skills and soul spirits, do you have any candidates, teacher?" Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Dai Tianling asked.

"Tongyu has long wanted to make amends for his mistakes back then. Let him contribute to the Empire this time."

Enci said slowly, "So let him handle the soul skills."

Upon hearing this, Dai Tianling immediately agreed. He had long wanted Tong Yu to leave that small house in the Monster Academy. After all, it would be a waste not to use such a powerful Limit Douluo.

"As for the soul..." Grace hesitated for a moment, then said with a flash of her eyes:

"How about we ask Zhang Geyang, the tower master of the Star Luo branch of the Spirit Pagoda, to lead the battle?"

"Oh?" Dai Tianling raised an eyebrow slightly, but then thought it made perfect sense. After all, Zhang Geyang had been groomed by the Zhang family as their heir since childhood, and all of his soul spirits were of extremely high quality.

Especially that Thunderous Hell Vine, which is unparalleled in its generation!
“Your Majesty, Zhang Geyang belongs to the Qian Gu Dong Feng faction, and he and the Leng family led by Leng Yaozhu are irreconcilable enemies. Meanwhile, Jiang Xiu’s Body Sect is on good terms with Leng Yaozhu.”

A glint of wisdom flashed in Enci's eyes. "So, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Zhang Geyang will definitely choose to fight."

“That makes sense,” Dai Tianling said, deeply agreeing.

After all, how could Zhang Geyang possibly throw a match against Jiang Xiu, who was from a different camp?

Dai Tianling hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher, about the final comparison of the battle armor..."

"I am the only one in the Star Luo Empire to have achieved the four-word battle armor, so let me fight for the country," Enci said with a distant gaze.

“But teacher, it would be a disgrace to your reputation to take action against a junior like Jiang Xiu,” Dai Tianling advised.

"For the sake of the empire, I cannot allow any mistakes to occur in the duel of the five gods. As for reputation? I have long since stopped caring about it." Grace chuckled lightly.

Seeing this, Dai Tianling sighed, "If the Star Luo Empire were strong, things wouldn't have come to this!"

“Weakness is the original sin,” Grace said slowly.

“Yes,” Dai Tianling nodded, “a weak nation has no diplomacy!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the study became somewhat somber.

After a moment, Dai Tianling gave a wry smile. "Teacher, you said that even if we win this time, we can buy the Star Luo Empire a year. But what about after that year?"

"Do you think our Star Luo Empire can still reach the other side?"

Enci's eyes flashed with a dark light as he said, "Your Majesty, ten thousand years ago, the Star Luo Empire was on the verge of destruction, but then the Spirit Ice Douluo appeared out of nowhere and saved the Star Luo Empire from its dire straits."

"Perhaps, another powerful figure will emerge this time."

Listening to her teacher's words of comfort, Dai Tianling nodded slightly. "Yes, who can say for sure what the future holds?"

Seemingly sensing the somewhat somber atmosphere, Dai Tianling suddenly said in an attempt to lighten the mood:

"Teacher, who do you think were the two people that Lingbing Douluo brought into the God Realm back then?"

Enci chuckled softly and said with certainty, "It can't possibly be that White Tiger Duke from back then."

"Back then, it was the White Tiger Duke's indirect negligence that led to the death of Lingbing Douluo's mother. Given Lingbing Douluo's indomitable character, how could he have brought her to the God Realm?"

“That’s true.” Dai Tianling nodded.

Huo Yuhao is the most indomitable representative in the world of Soul Masters. He and Tang San, the pure and noble Sea God of yesteryear, can be considered the two heroes of the Soul Master world.

After chatting for a while, Dai Tianling said solemnly:
"Teacher, I'm entrusting the Five Gods' duel to you."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, please trust the Star Luo Empire and trust me!" Enci's expression also became serious.

He firmly believes that on the high seas of the new era, there will surely be ships that can carry the Star Luo Empire!
……

Star Luo City.

Inside a gloomy altar.

"Hehehe, just as I thought, Jiang Xiu is finally coming to the Star Luo Empire!"

The Ghost Emperor looked at the message coming from the palace and a smile appeared on his lips. In order to deal with Jiang Xiu, he had already laid a flawless trap in the Star Luo Empire!

"Even the Abyss Saint King cares about the seed on Jiang Xiu's body. I wonder if that seed can help me become a god?"

The Ghost Emperor's heart stirred slightly. After killing Jiang Xiu, he had no intention of handing over the divine seed in Jiang Xiu's hands to the Abyss Saint King.

Although the Abyss Saint King and their Holy Spirit Cult are currently cooperating, he doesn't trust the Abyss Saint King at all, after all, the Abyss Plane's goal is to devour the entire Douluo Plane!
"Dark Bell, Dark Phoenix, keep a close eye on external developments and report to me immediately if anything happens."

The Ghost Emperor glanced sideways at the Dark Bell and Dark Phoenix beside him and gave them instructions.

“Yes!” Leng Yulai and Nanali both replied.

The next moment, as if remembering something, Nanali's bells jingled crisply, and she parted her red lips slightly, saying, "Lord Ghost Emperor, Lord Underworld Emperor has been contacted."

"Oh? What did he say?" Ghost Emperor asked, his dark green eyes flashing.

If he could get help from the Underworld Emperor, his plan to kill Jiang Xiu would definitely be even more perfect!

"The Underworld Emperor said he would deal with these ants," Nanali said meaningfully.

"Ants?" The Ghost Emperor raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself, "Jiang Xiu, a Soul Douluo, is indeed an ant."

In his view, there are four titles in the Soul Master world: Ant, Little Friend, Fellow Daoist, and Senior.

He and the Underworld Emperor are both quasi-gods, so they must be on equal footing.

Hearing the Ghost Emperor's words, Nanali simply chuckled and said nothing more.

"With the help of the Underworld Emperor this time, if I fail again, I should really commit seppuku!"

The Ghost Emperor thought fiercely to himself.

Leng Yulai, who was standing to the side, did not participate in the topic; her dark red eyes just kept flashing.

She knew that her older sister had also arrived in the Star Luo Empire...

Looking at the Star Luo Empire, which was about to be swept by storms, Leng Yulai's red lips curled up.

"This is really interesting..."

……

Inside the Xingluo Hotel in Xingluo City.

Leng Yaozhu, dressed in a red robe, gazed absently at the night outside the window with her phoenix eyes.

"A clash of the five gods... Is Xiao Xiu coming to the Star Luo Empire too...?"

Leng Yaozhu murmured, a hint of anticipation appearing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a chill.

She already knew that the Star Luo Royal Family had invited Zhang Geyang to participate in the Five Gods Showdown, and that Zhang Geyang had agreed.

The thought that during her time in the Star Luo Empire, she had not only failed to subdue the Star Luo branch of the Spirit Pagoda, but had also brought an enemy to Xiao Xiu made Leng Yaozhu feel indebted.

"I really don't know how to make up for the short break..."

Leng Yaozhu murmured, a hint of annoyance on her beautiful, aloof face.

“However, according to Gu Yue, Xiao Xiu seems to like black stockings…” The next moment, Leng Yaozhu seemed to have thought of something, and her face flushed slightly.

"Never mind, we'll talk about this when Xiaoxiu comes to the secret room to find me."

She shook her head sharply, silently thinking to herself, but deep down she still secretly hoped that Jiang Xiu would arrive...

……

Ontology.

"Junior brother! Junior brother! I have something important to tell you."

Jiang Xiu had just stepped out of the room when he heard Aruheng calling him.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiu was mysteriously pulled aside by Aruheng.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Jiang Xiu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Junior Brother, big news!"

Aruheng whispered, "About the Temple of War."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes flickered.

Immediately, Aruheng continued:
"According to your sister-in-law, Chen Xinjie has returned to the Temple of War Gods these past few days and has replaced all the War Gods guarding the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. Furthermore, all the new War Gods are connected to Shrek Academy..."

"Perhaps someone is eyeing the Federation's last god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell..."
