Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 398 The Covenant of the Stars
Although there were frequent frictions between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, there were not many large-scale wars. Only the battle for Tianming City could be considered a formal clash.

But by then, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger had already died in an ambush by the Sun Moon Empire, so his unique White Tiger Formation naturally had no chance to be used.

However, it was under these circumstances that the White Tiger Formation appeared in the strange army of the Sun Moon Empire.

Has Dai Hao betrayed the Sun Moon Empire?

Such a thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before being rejected by Xu Jiujiu. If Dai Hao wanted to defect, the two fortresses of Tianming City and Yuming City would have already fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire as a pledge of allegiance.

"You bastards! You are desecrating the dead! The Sun and Moon Empire has actually committed such an inhuman act!"

Before they could think things through for a long time, a mighty voice came from the sky.

Seeing the disciples of the Body Sect mixed in with the undead army, Poison Undying finally couldn't stand it any longer and shouted out loud.

A vibrant green luster instantly spread across the entire sky, as if something had been mixed into the air, causing a sharp pain in the chest with just a light breath.

This change lasted only a moment. The next instant, a dark red light rose from beneath Tian Dou City, forcefully pushing back the emerald green and occupying half the sky.

The entire sky was divided in two, one half being a dazzling emerald green that, with just a glance, caused a host of discomfort, as if poison had been injected into one's body.

On the other side was a dark red that wasn't as dazzling. At first glance, it seemed weaker, but upon closer inspection, it was much purer than that emerald green.

The dark red sky was devoid of blazing sun and cloud cover, with only lines of veins clinging to it, like the intertwined roots and branches of some plant.

Beneath the sky, an apocalyptic atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone's spirits. It seemed that the slightest distraction would lead to annihilation beneath that celestial canopy, along with the sun, moon, and sky, and their inevitable demise.

"This person is not easy to deal with. We can't wait any longer. No matter what abilities he has, we have to take action first."

Sensing that his opponent's aura was in no way inferior to his own, Du Busi knew he couldn't wait any longer.

He had originally planned to observe Lin Xiao's methods in order to prepare a response, but now he realized that if he didn't take action, no one else would be able to gauge Lin Xiao's true strength, and they would only be throwing their lives away in vain.

Gathering his thoughts, nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red—rose around him. With his hands raised to the sky, dark green vortexes appeared one by one around him.

Deep within the gray fog, Lin Xiao wielded his long staff, waving it repeatedly. One by one, the figures buried near Tiandou City were awakened from their long slumber and walked forward step by step, meeting their former comrades-in-arms.

Beside Lin Xiao, the figure of the white tiger floated to one side, its eyes showing a hint of reluctance.

"Can what you're saying really come true?"

“Now that you’re in this state, why would I need to lie to you?” Lin Xiao glanced at Bai Hu. “Preserving the customs and traditions of the Star Luo Empire has no impact on my goals.”

"Slaughtering indiscriminately will not benefit the Sun Moon Empire's rule over the continent in the slightest. The Sun Moon Empire is confident enough that the people of the entire Douluo Continent will eventually become inseparable from their soul tools."

Upon hearing this, Baihu nodded and stopped speaking, focusing on commanding the undead army in front of him.

Just then, Lin Xiao suddenly looked up at the chilling killing intent descending from the sky.

The long staff in his hand suddenly shortened, transforming into a bright flower in Lin Xiao's palm. The flower's color shifted between dark blue and dark red, and with a slight thought from Lin Xiao, it finally turned into dark red and floated up.

The two gray spirit rings also changed, and in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by nine spirit rings, six black and three red. On the spirit rings, golden and gray patterns intertwined, adding a touch of exotic color.

At this moment, Lin Xiao no longer needed to conceal his appearance or his identity. His cloak billowed high, revealing the River Styx below, its red and blue colors intertwined and lit up, with twinkling stars rising into the sky, bringing a glimmer of light to the dim sky.

Poison Undying was surrounded by a dark green vortex that gradually increased in size. In the next instant, several beams of light crossed the space and fell into it in the blink of an eye.

Poison Immortal frowned, turned his head slightly to take a look, and saw that the vortexes had not changed at all after being attacked, which immediately reassured him.

However, before he could completely relax, he saw even more light shooting out from the countless stars. His body trembled under the relentless attacks, and the vortexes around him disappeared one by one.

"metropolitan!"

"Your Majesty the True Body!"

Upon seeing this, the others swarmed over and stood in mid-air beside Poison Undying.

"marshal!"

Lin Xiao's figure emerged from the mist and flew into the sky, coming into everyone's view. The Fire Phoenix Douluo beside Ju Zi spoke again.

More than ten titled Douluo from the three great empires gathered together, including the level 98 Super Douluo Du Busi. Seeing that the Sun Moon Empire only had one person to fight, how could she remain calm?

However, Ju Zi did not give any orders. Instead, she raised her hand to quiet Fire Phoenix Douluo down, her gaze fixed on Lin Xiao.

She didn't have the strength to foresee the outcome, but Lin Xiao still planned to fight alone even though he knew the enemy's information before the battle, so he naturally had his reasons.

In the air, Lin Xiao looked at the increasing number of Title Douluos from the three great empires, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

In fact, among all the people on the Douluo Continent today, only Kong Deming makes Lin Xiao somewhat wary, because he knows what kind of power Kong Deming can unleash if he combines with the Royal Soul Master Corps.

This power is not only due to memories of a past life, but also because...

Lin Xiao suddenly clasped his hands together, and the red and blue patterns on the Styx River became even brighter. An invisible aura spread out, covering the endless "stars" in the sky.

The cloak on his body could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered into dust. The next moment, countless stars gathered a dazzling light, which fell on Lin Xiao under the watchful eyes of Du Bu Si and the others.

"what!"

Unlike the surprise of the others, Lin Xiao felt an incomparably powerful force at his disposal.

His wariness of Kong Deming's power stemmed not only from his memories of his past life, but also from the fact that he, too, possessed the means to gather other powers into himself, and knew just how terrifying such an attack was.

After Jing Hongchen created the Styx Embrace, it was also guided by Kong Deming, and it goes without saying what he guided her on.

Later, during Lin Xiao's transformation of the Styx Embrace, this ability was also retained by him, and it was named – Tong Qi.
