Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 322 The demigod emerges from seclusion: should he first quell the Douling battle, or first destroy the Xingluo?

"Heaven's justice is just, for the sun and moon inevitably rise and fall, and people's hearts are inclined to follow this; even a common man will avenge any wrong done to him—they've gone mad, these people are truly insane!"

In the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace, Dai Tianling stared blankly as he read the declaration of war officially issued by the Sun Moon Federation to the Star Luo Empire.

He was sitting in the palace, completely unaware that the three major navies of the Sun Moon Federation had been overthrown by the Holy Spirit Cult? Two of their motherships were destroyed?

After the calamity, the Sun Moon Federation not only declared war on the Holy Spirit Cult, but also on the Star Luo Empire and the Tang Sect, among other forces.

Dai Tianling really wanted to say that he really didn't know anything, and that the incident involving the navy had nothing to do with him!

This has absolutely nothing to do with my half a Star Luo coin!

"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, it seems that the Tang Clan has been secretly cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult without our knowledge—"

Enci sat opposite Dai Tianling, his old face, etched with deep wrinkles, was covered in beads of sweat, which he kept wiping away.

"Although the Sun Moon Federation's declaration of war against our country is a completely insane act, they are right about one thing: of all those terrifying soul-guided weapons, apart from the Federation itself, only the Tang Sect can produce them."

First, the possibility that the incident was orchestrated by the federal government can be ruled out, because the losses would be far too great, and it would be even more impossible for the Holy Spirit Church to cooperate with them in staging a play.

This battle effectively wiped out half of the Federation Navy's strength, destroying its morale and forcing it to upgrade its equipment.

Since the Tang Clan's military equipment couldn't have been stolen, the only possibility is that they offered it to them voluntarily.

This idea that decapitation assassination could solve everything is also in line with the Tang Clan's consistent style. However, this time they were smarter and let the Holy Spirit Cult act as their cover.

With the help of several palace maids, Dai Tianling soothed his temples and felt somewhat comfortable. He sighed, "How could I not know? But now it seems that the Federation has chosen to unleash its anger on us to give their people an explanation. War is coming soon, and it will be of unprecedented intensity."

"To be honest, apart from the Tang Sect's soul-guided weapons, I see no hope of victory."

Although he had wiped out the core forces of the three major navies in one fell swoop, and even Dai Tianling had the relaxed thought that "the Federation Navy is nothing special," he naturally knew that the Federation's internal forces were far more than just the navy.

The Spirit Pagoda and the War God Hall are full of experts, and they will definitely respond to the call and come out in full force to avenge the three major navies and Chen Xinjie. Dai Tianling had witnessed their fighting power many years ago.

Besides these two major forces, the Federation also has several Limit Douluo-level powerhouses who can be deployed at any time. The sudden emergence of the new Divine Craftsman Feng Zaixing means that the Federation will soon have a batch of four-word Battle Armor Masters.

The power of such a large group of top-tier Soul Masters was enough to overwhelm the Star Luo Empire in terms of high-end combat strength. It was something that Teacher and Tong Yu combined could not withstand. Yun Ming and Cao Dezhi could only protect themselves.

"Moreover, the Tang Clan planned such a major event without informing me beforehand. They have now crippled the Federation Navy's fighting force, and they will replace it with an even more powerful one in the future. How are we supposed to resist them?"

Dai Tianling knew the principle that "if the enemy commander is too useless, you must protect him." The three major navies had been at peace for a long time, and there must be many good-for-nothings who were just wasting their time.

Now, the Federation, having sworn revenge in the name of national humiliation, will certainly do its utmost to weed out the dross and select the truly capable to join the war, and will also replace its commanders.

Undoubtedly, the youngest temple master in the history of the Temple of War, who has led the Blood God Legion to victory after victory, will personally lead the army into battle. At that time, who in Xingluo can stop him?

Enci loosened her shoulders beneath the two maids' attire and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, the Tang Clan enjoys a very high degree of freedom, so it's natural that they will develop their own ideas. This is something we expected long ago."

"In my opinion, we should fight this battle if we can, but if we can't, we must find a way to shift the blame and not be taken down with us."

Dai Tianling's eyes flashed with a sharp light. The so-called "stepping down of responsibility" was naturally for self-preservation. As a monarch, he certainly had the idea of ​​protecting the country and its people and achieving a good reputation for all time, but that did not mean that he wanted to fight to the death when he was completely unable to resist.

However, now, with the Star Luo Empire plus Shi Tang, there are two demigods and two quasi-gods in high-end combat power. If we include the unstable factors of the Holy Spirit Cult, there are as many as six or seven Limit Douluo, which doesn't seem too bad.

Is this lineup viable?

Dai Tianling mentally planned the battle. Under ideal circumstances, perhaps he could protect himself? The biggest problem was that there was no one to take his place. He didn't know how long these experts could hold out.

Just then, a palace guard with a hoarse voice strode over and said to Dai Tianling, "Your Majesty, great news! I congratulate Your Majesty! Heaven blesses Xingluo!"

Dai Tianling turned her head and asked indifferently, "What happy occasion?"

"News has come from Shrek Academy: Guan Yue, the junior brother of Sea God Pavilion Master Yun Ming and former Deputy Hall Master of the Federation's War God Hall, has abandoned his evil ways and joined the Star Luo Empire! Isn't this a piece of great joy?"

The imperial guard looked delighted, his old face beaming with joy: "Guan Yue left the Temple of War Gods half a year ago with several titled Douluo. They were delayed on the ocean for half a year before joining my Star Luo Empire today."

"Your Majesty, consider this: even a figure like the Vice Hall Master of the Temple of War, a quasi-god, has joined my Star Luo. Doesn't this mean that destiny is on my side, and the Sun and Moon Federation is outwardly strong but inwardly weak, its fate nearing its end?"

"Guan Yue, the Douluo of the Heavens?" Enci raised his eyebrows. He didn't have much of an impression of this quasi-god. It seemed that he had cooperated with Yun Ming to kill Long Yeyue back then, but that was all.

However, since he's a quasi-god, he can't be too bad, especially since he's Yun Ming's junior brother.

"The Vice Hall Master of the War God Temple?" As an emperor, Dai Tianling's focus was clearly different from Enci's, and his eyes shone with a burning light.

The War God Temple is a well-known core military institution of the Federation. The deputy temple master is definitely a high-ranking and powerful core figure in the Federation, in charge of a large number of important secrets of the Federation. If such a person has joined his Star Luo, could it be that there is really a fight?

Even though Guan Yue came from Shrek Academy, Dai Tianling didn't think the Federation's higher-ups would be willing to hand over such a top-tier combatant. He himself wouldn't be willing to do so at all. The Federation probably didn't have enough quasi-gods to be willing to give up an old quasi-god without feeling any pain.

Now, with the balance shifting, the Federation has lost a veteran quasi-god, while the Star Luo Empire has gained one more quasi-god on the surface. Even if it cannot defeat the Federation, it seems to have the ability to protect itself.

This is a good opportunity!

The emperor and his minister exchanged a glance, both agreeing that the war was not insurmountable; the key lay in the preparations before the battle.

At least for now, the Tang Sect's soul-guided weapons are very satisfactory, capable of destroying Federation warships beyond recognition.

"Sect Leader Cao of the Tang Clan has arrived!"

A long, hoarse shout from an eunuch echoed from outside the hall.

Dai Tianling and Enci quickly got up and soon saw Cao Dezhi, whose hair was gray, had regained some of his energy and spirit, walking with a powerful stride.

"I have heard that the Sun and Moon Federation has overestimated its strength and has declared war on my Star Luo. I, Cao, have come to relieve Your Majesty's worries."

Cao Dezhi nodded to Dai Tianling from afar, raised his voice, and stood as still and unshakable as a mountain.

Dai Tianling quickly gestured for the other person to sit down: "Minister Cao, please speak slowly—"

The next day, Feng Zaixing threw a single garment at Gu Yue, whose face clearly said, "I'm convinced, I'm convinced," and said, "Go out and tidy yourself up. Don't do anything reckless in the future."

"To use what you said yesterday, I also bought from you once, so we're even. You can keep those resources for yourself."

He moved closer to that face that could express both joy and anger, and said in a serious tone, "Next time you want to cultivate, remember to tell me in advance. Don't use aphrodisiacs, you can't handle it."

Gu Yue, weak and listless, stared blankly at the sky: "Although I'm not human, you really are a dog—"

After going through all that trouble to gain such a huge advantage, how can you still talk like that? Is this even human?

"You can't say that. The main problem is that I'm not a water-attribute soul master, otherwise I would have helped you cleanse yourself, but it's fine now."

""

Feng Zaixing sighed and tried to transform his extreme fire attribute to another extreme, using the principle of turning adversity into prosperity to create extreme ice, and then slowly thaw it into water, heat it up, and pour it down like a torrential rain onto the ancient tree of life.

It also submerged the ancient moon.

"Glug glug glug————"

Gu Yue's bright, beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. She had never imagined that elements could be used in this way.

"You really are a dog!" Gu Yue cursed inwardly for the inhumanity of the guy.

This time, however, she dared not let anyone get close to her again. She hurriedly activated the elements of heaven and earth to cleanse her body, took out clean clothes from her storage ring, changed into them, and fled from the Tree of Life as if escaping.

"To dare to use medicine without any extraordinary abilities, I really don't know how I cultivated the strength of my original lineage's martial soul."

Watching that fleeing figure, Feng Zaixing couldn't help but smile wryly.

But he quickly suppressed that smile, his gaze darkened, and he stepped out of the Tree of Life, releasing his aura to acquaintances outside and announcing his return.

Those who can achieve great things do not need to deliberately suppress their desires; however, they must be able to restrain their desires when necessary and distinguish between what is important and what is urgent.

"Boom!"

A terrifying and powerful storm of soul energy raged out. Feng Zaixing raised his half-closed eyes to regulate his aura, and the sky welcomed the one and only monarch.

Thunder and flames erupted from the flat ground, a long wind howled, and blazing light filled the sky, reaching the pinnacle of existence.

An incredibly powerful aura was released, and the experts and geniuses cultivating near the ancient tree of life quickly reacted, their faces immediately filled with ecstasy.

"Saint Douluo has emerged from seclusion! He has achieved the Ultimate Douluo level!"

"The Federation has suffered a great calamity, and the Lord of the War God Temple has successfully broken through to a higher realm—truly a joyous occasion!"

"Waaaaah, the tragically deceased seniors can finally rest in peace. The nightmare of those evil spirit masters has returned—"

All the officers of the Northern Navy Legion came from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Some officers of the Sea God Legion and the Eastern Navy Legion also came from there. Many of them perished in the attacks of evil soul masters, some of whom were relatives and friends of these new students.

In fact, only a few families of martyrs were sent to the Tree of Life in the last two days. This was a preferential arrangement proposed by Feng Zaixing long ago, and it was also the only exception for those who lacked talent and contribution to be able to enter the Tree of Life area for cultivation.

Tang Wulin sensed the movement of his teacher emerging from seclusion and cheered with the crowd for his teacher's return.

For some reason, he felt that the teacher glanced at him quietly, with a look that seemed both helpless and speechless.

"Swish" "Swish"

Several streaks of light flew over, and Luan Hongchen and Kong Yao, dressed in formal attire, arrived in mid-air, exclaiming with delight, "Zai Xing, you've emerged from seclusion!"

Is this a demigod or a near-god?

The two Limit Douluos were unsure of Feng Zaixing's cultivation level, because the young man's aura was so powerful that they couldn't see through him at all.

"Of course, it's demigod. The quasi-god realm is far too advanced; it's not that easy."

Feng Zaixing laughed heartily, then took the hands of the two elders and descended from the sky.

"I heard something's happened outside. Tell me about it. Are we going to deal with Dou Ling first, or destroy Xing Luo first?"
