Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

"Jialing Pass..."

The expressions of the members of the Holy Pavilion changed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at Ling Bai, who was at the head of the left. This pass was full of legendary charm. Ten thousand years ago, the Heaven Dou Empire defeated the Martial Soul Empire here. The story of two gods fighting two gods is still being told in the Douluo Continent.

Ten thousand years later, the Sun Moon Empire invaded the Heavenly Soul Empire. The Dragon Emperor and the Demon Phoenix came with overwhelming force. The Soul Master Corps destroyed all defenses, and Jialing Pass became the last barrier protecting the imperial capital, Heaven Dou City.

The armies of the two empires were not comparable in strength. In the border battle, the Heavenly Soul Empire suffered heavy casualties and could be described as fleeing in disarray.

Knowing they were powerless to resist, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family sought help from various Soul Master forces. However, the Dragon Emperor Douluo and the Demon Phoenix Douluo were like two insurmountable mountains, and the Evil Monarch and Terror Claw, two Beast King-level Soul Master Corps, were equipped with linked Soul Guidance Devices, making them terrifying war machines. Few responded.

Regardless of Ling Bai's intentions, as an ally of the three great empires, Shrek Academy would definitely send people to support Jialing Pass, Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice:

"Sect Master, the academy was severely damaged by the Star Dou Beast Tide. Most of the combat personnel were injured, and countless soul tools were lost. At most, we can only assemble a Shrek Soul Master Corps, with a configuration equivalent to an ordinary Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. The Sun Moon Empire had mobilized two Beast Kings, four ordinary soldiers, six Soul Master Corps, and several light and heavy corps. Shrek Academy was essentially sending them a dish from afar; it seemed a bit too polite.

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath. The gap between the soul guidance technologies of the two continents was insurmountable. The Sun Moon Empire had chosen the most vulnerable moment for the Heavenly Soul Empire to start a war, clearly taking advantage of its weakness to kill it. However, war is always cruel, and they had to deal with each move as it came.

"If the Heavenly Soul Empire is destroyed, the Sun Moon Empire will surely use it as a foundation to annex the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires. Shrek Academy cannot stand aside."

"I'm leading the Shrek Academy's Soul Master Corps to Jialing Pass. Senior Sister, how many Title Douluos does the academy have capable of fighting?"

Zhang Lexuan smiled wryly and said, "Eight or nine out of ten of the titled Douluo in the academy are recuperating from their injuries. You, me, Elder Zhuang, and Dean Cai still have the strength to fight."

"Sect Leader, we are willing to follow you in supporting the Heavenly Soul Empire!"

Zhuang Lao and Cai Meier said in unison that they didn't care about it on ordinary days, but during the Holy Pavilion meetings, these elders would still respectfully address Ma Xiaotao as Pavilion Master.

Ma Xiaotao nodded emphatically. This was all the strength Shrek Academy could muster, and they had a clear conscience.

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips tightly. In a national war, the role of a five-ring Soul King is negligible. He can only focus on his cultivation at Shrek Academy and wait for the outcome of the Battle of Jialing Pass.

"The Sun Moon Empire's breach of Jialing Pass will directly threaten Heaven Dou City. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will also contribute its strength." Ling Bai said. "Xiao Tao, Qiu Xi has broken through to the eighth-ring Soul Douluo, and Senior Sister has also become a Golden Immortal Douluo. We will support Jialing Pass with you."

"Alright, Shrek Soul Master Corps, prepare for battle!"

……

Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Mom, I'm here."

Ning Tian walked slowly into the study and called out softly. Ning Fengya nodded slightly, indicating that Ning Tian should sit down.

Seeing his mother's expressionless face reflected in his eyes, Ning Tiantian instinctively tensed up, placing his hands neatly on his knees and straightening his back.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you've all broken through to higher realms these past few days, haven't you?"

Ning Tian paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "We have made great progress after absorbing the soul power of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape."

Xiao Feng, Nana, Yu Mengdi, Jing Ziyan, Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, Gongyang Mo, and Xixi successfully broke through to the Soul Saint realm. Except for Xiao Feng and me absorbing the 100,000-year-old sea soul beast, the others chose to explore inwards and use the first-generation Heavenly Gift Soul Ring as their seventh Soul Ring.

Ye Guyi, Ling Luochen, and Ji Juechen have all risen to the level of eight-ring Soul Douluo, having absorbed the soul rings and soul bones of 100,000-year-old sea soul beasts. With their martial soul talents, their combat power is enough to rival that of a Title Douluo.

When a whale falls, all things come to life. The two soul beasts, like the deep-sea demon whale king from ten thousand years ago, had their soul power forcibly extracted and transferred to the human soul master.

In ten years, when the geniuses of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School become true Title Douluo, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will become a super sect in a class of its own on the Douluo Continent.

Ning Fengya stood up, her tone somewhat complicated: "The Sun Moon Empire has launched a surprise attack on the Heavenly Soul Empire, crossing the border and heading straight for Jialing Pass. Xiaobai communicated with me through the Bone Dragon King; he and Qiu Xi set off from Shrek City to support the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"Is Brother Bai going to the battlefield?"

Ning Tian's voice suddenly rose eight octaves. The Sun Moon Empire dared to start a war, so it must have made preparations to deal with Ling Bai. Not to mention other backup plans, at least a double-digit number of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons would be indispensable to avenge the fall of the Starry Sky Douluo, the rescue of hostages, and the destruction of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps.

Needless to say, the military strength of the Heavenly Soul Empire is as fragile as paper. With great power comes great responsibility. As long as Ling Bai participates in the war, the pressure of victory or defeat at Jialing Pass will fall on his shoulders.

As Ling Bai's future wife, Ning Tian was worried about her husband's safety, but she knew very well that this battle was unavoidable. Jiubao City and Tiandou City were adjacent to each other, and after breaking through Jialing Pass, the Sun Moon Empire would not let Jiubao Glazed Tile Sect go.

"Mom, I'm going to Jialing Pass!" Ning Tian said resolutely.

"Go."

"Aren't you going to stop me?"

Ning Tian looked surprised; she had thought Ning Fengya would reject her outright.

Ning Fengya smiled calmly: "Although the relationship between the sect and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family has dropped to a freezing point, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has always stood on the side of Douluo Continent."

Just now, Xiaobai didn't mention the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School at all. I can sense that he doesn't want you to participate in the war, because the battlefield is ever-changing, and he can't guarantee that you Soul Saints will return safely.

However, he forgot one thing: the purpose of building ships is not to stay at the dock, but to take people across the blue sea, through the howling winds and waves, and to enjoy the vast beauty of the ocean.

I'm so glad you're willing to face the challenges, so I respect your choice and let you do it.

Mother needs to oversee the post-war affairs of Nine Treasures City, and at the same time, do her best to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from carrying out a decapitation operation. The sect's titled Douluo is still recovering from his injuries, so the main force this time is the younger generation.

"The sect can muster a full-strength Soul Master Corps. You, along with the geniuses of the seventh ring and above, will lead the Nine Treasures Soul Master Corps to Jialing Pass to help Xiaobai."

"Um!"

Tears welled in Ning Tian's beautiful blue eyes as she rushed out of the room, calling Wu Feng and the others to set off.

With everything prepared, the Nine Treasures Soul Guidance Team left Nine Treasures City. Before leaving, Lin Jiaran approached Ning Tian and handed her a blood-red storage soul tool.

Ning Tian looked at the still bandaged Demon Dragon Douluo with a puzzled expression and asked, "Teacher Lin, what's this?"

Lin Jiaran's eyes were clear: "This is the work of my life's struggle."

I went to great lengths, smuggling the Mingde Hall's soul guide device and switching to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and finally succeeded in making it. Fortunately, Xuan Ziwen's sealed baby bottle technology solved the charging problem, allowing you to use it.

Xiao Tian, ​​bring a new dawn to Douluo Continent, even if it's forged in blood.

……

Jialing Pass.

The ancient pass, weathered by millennia of history, resembles a sleeping lion. Outside the city, the massive army of the Sun and Moon Empire surges forth, orderly deploying soul-guiding positions across the vast plain.

"His aura is truly extraordinary..." Ling Bai exclaimed sincerely.

Despite the shock of seeing the Sun Moon Empire's army from high above, the Shrek Soul Master Corps was still somewhat stunned. If it were the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps facing the Star Dou Beast Tide, they would definitely not have been in such a sorry state.

Ma Xiaotao glared at Ling Bai, annoyed, for boosting the morale of others!

"hiss--"

The next second, she was elbowed hard in the waist by Ling Qiuxi. The Golden Dragon Girl couldn't stand others being impolite to Ling Bai, especially his romantic rival!

Ling Qiuxi used seventy percent of her strength. The power of the Golden Dragon was immense. Ma Xiaotao almost fell from the sky and was furious on the spot, wishing she could start a full-blown fight.

The two women were evenly matched, one with phoenix flames poised to be unleashed, the other with a golden dragon spear gleaming coldly. Seeing this, Han Ruoruo smiled helplessly, extended two golden ropes from her fingertips, and pulled the two women, forehead to forehead, apart.

As they approached the skies above Jialing City, Ling Bai let out a long howl. The clear howl spread out and reached every corner of Jialing Pass. Figures rushed into the sky, and all that could be seen were familiar faces from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Brother Bai/Bastard/Brother Ling/Godfather!"

Upon seeing the arrival of the Shrek Soul Master Corps, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jiubao City was closer to Jialing Pass, but due to the Shrek Soul Master Corps' outdated flying soul tools, Ling Bai was actually a step behind the Jiubao Soul Master Corps led by Ning Tian.

The man in general's armor removed his helmet, revealing a resolute face. His first action was to bow deeply.

"Holy Evil Douluo, Phoenix Douluo, thank you for the support of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy. I am Marshal Ge Peng of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Please follow me to the central command tent for a meeting."

Ge Peng, a level 92 Thunder Roc Douluo, holds a position similar to that of Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, and commands the army of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The two Soul Master Corps had their own designated personnel to make arrangements. Ge Peng led Ling Bai and the others to the central command tent. Along the way, as they saw the listless Heavenly Soul Army, their expressions gradually became serious.

The momentum of the two armies is very important. The Sun Moon Empire is unstoppable, while the Heavenly Soul Empire suffers repeated defeats, much like the Trisolarans fighting against primitive humans.

Several Heavenly Soul Guardian Douluo died in battle, their souls and flesh devoured by Demon Phoenix Douluo. The other Guardian Douluo refused to come to their aid no matter what.

In the vast Jialing Pass, there was only one Title Douluo, Ge Peng. No wonder the Heavenly Soul Empire's army had no will to fight and looked like salted fish that had been dead for three days.

As the group entered the central command tent, Ge Peng, who had served in the army for many years, was most sensitive to the atmosphere. He suddenly noticed that the core forces of both sides were mostly women, and their movements were unusually strange, as if they were competing openly and secretly. The crackling sounds of sparks and lightning could be faintly heard in the air.

"The situation is urgent, so I won't beat around the bush," Ge Peng said dutifully. "The Sun Moon Empire has dispatched two Beast King-level Soul Master Corps and four Standard Soul Master Corps, led by Dragon Emperor Douluo and Demon Phoenix Douluo, and supplemented by elite troops."

Jialing Pass currently has the Nine Treasures Soul Master Corps, the Shrek Academy Soul Master Corps, and the last half of the surviving Soul Master Corps of the Heavenly Soul Empire, totaling two and a half. The rest are all ordinary troops, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, etc.

The disparity between the Soul Masters was enormous, and many people felt a wave of dizziness. Ji Juechen, clutching the Sword of Judgment, silently calculated how many people he would have to kill to close the gap. Ling Luochen looked up at the sky, praying for a downpour when the battle began to amplify his ultimate ice elemental martial soul.

There's no way around it; this is the difference between the three great empires and the Sun Moon Empire. The Heavenly Soul Empire is already considered mediocre, while the neighboring Douling Empire never managed to assemble a single Soul Master Corps before its demise.

After the military conference finalized the plan to meet the enemy, night fell. Marshal Ge Peng arranged marching tents for everyone to rest and recuperate in preparation for the impending war.

Saint Evil Douluo's reputation resounded throughout the Douluo Continent, naturally receiving the most lavish treatment. His tent was almost a completely different color from the central army tent. The night was long, and some people, unable to sleep, stealthily crept over, and then…

They stared at each other, wide-eyed!

"What are you doing?" Ma Xiaotao asked first.

"What are you doing?" Wu Feng retorted.

"I was just passing by," Ling Luochen said in a cool voice.

"Let's see who can't stand the loneliness," Ling Qiuxi sneered.

"snort!"

Ma Xiaotao and Wu Feng blushed, then pretended to leave, but actually rushed into Ling Bai's tent, only to find it empty and completely deserted.

"Hey, where did everyone go!?"

At this moment, in another tent, Ling Bai and Ye Guyi sat facing each other, and Ling Bai said softly:

"Once the war begins, I will try my best to quickly eliminate Demon Phoenix Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo, but the difference in strength between the armies of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire is too great. In addition, the two Soul Master Corps are just a drop in the ocean and cannot even resist the first wave of attacks."

Jialing Pass, the Sun Moon Empire chose a good location...

"Bone Cloak, we may... need to rely on the power of ten thousand years ago..."

"I understand."

Ye Guyi's eyes were resolute as she slowly and firmly nodded.

At dawn, the Sun Moon Empire's army began its operation. The two captains, Evil Lord and Terror Claw, entered the main tent, where a bloody stench assaulted their senses. A bewitching woman with long, blood-red hair was devouring the blood soul of a Heavenly Soul titled warrior. Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao remained silent, heartbroken.

"Demon Phoenix Douluo, the army has finished its rest and is ready for battle," said Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, bowing.

During the war of aggression, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao merely served as a scout, while Demon Phoenix Douluo was brutal and bloodthirsty. The souls of the soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire all became nourishment for his martial soul, the Demon Phoenix. As a result, Demon Phoenix Douluo's cultivation level rose rapidly and surpassed that of Dragon Emperor Douluo.

"Attack," the woman uttered coldly.

"Yes."

The two men left to carry out their orders. Long Xiaoyao, unable to contain himself any longer, finally stood before the woman and hissed:

"Xi Shui, you can't keep devouring lives!"

Ye Xishui didn't care. Her sharp, blood-red fingernails gripped Long Xiaoyao's neck, their faces close together, their breaths mingling.

"Long Xiaoyao, do you think you're so high and mighty?"

Aiding and abetting evil is more hateful than instigating it; you've been a rotten person just like me for a long time.

"If you still love me, then come with me to break through Jialing Pass, kill the Holy Evil Douluo, and avenge the Holy Cult and Wu'er!"

"Xishui..."

Long Xiaoyao smiled bitterly. To be honest, he had a chance to stop Ye Xishui from falling into evil a second time, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Ye Xishui shot into the sky, her voice booming like thunder:

"The Sun and Moon Empire will crush the Jialing Pass!"
