Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

"Wait, how come your Star Luo Empire only has so few people...?"

In the central command tent, the Angel Empire and the Star Luo Empire stood on either side. Duke White Tiger was critically wounded and on the verge of death. The Star Luo defense battle was personally commanded by Emperor Xu Jiawei, but the situation was bleak.

The Sun Moon Empire's army of 600,000 men was at the city gates, while the Star Luo City's defenders numbered no more than 20,000. The disparity between the two armies was simply despairing.

Wu Feng clicked her tongue in disapproval. She had been the one complaining quietly earlier, and Ning Tian had given her a helpless glare, signaling her not to blurt out the truth.

The expressions of the others were also somewhat solemn. According to Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu, the Sun Moon Empire had gone to great lengths to attack the Star Luo Empire.

The entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is equipped with the most advanced humanoid soul tools, sacrificing their lives for Soul Douluo-level combat power. The Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps carries a level-nine peak high-energy compression cannon and a large number of level-nine fixed-position soul tool shells. With top experts such as Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming and Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen in command, they were able to advance unstoppably and directly attack Star Luo City.

Ling Bai fell into deep thought. Ju Zi hated Duke Bai Hu to the core. She was exceptionally ruthless when invading the Xingluo Empire, causing heavy casualties among the Xingluo soldiers. The Battle of Xingluo City was even more lopsided than the Battle of Jialing Pass!

Xu Jiawei sighed deeply. The once spirited Emperor of Xingluo seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant as the nation suffered a calamity: "To be honest, everyone in the Angel Empire, Empress and War Goddess Ju Zi has issued us an ultimatum today."

"Hand over Brother Dai within three days, and the Star Luo Empire will be allowed to surrender. The Sun and Moon Army will not harm a single civilian in the city. Otherwise, Star Luo City will be annihilated."

"What does Xingluo mean?" Ling Bai frowned slightly.

Xu Jiawei's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "In the battle of Mingdou Mountain Range, Brother Dai was hit by the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. The White Tiger Guard risked their lives to save him, and he is now being cared for by our eldest son, Dai Yueheng."

The Healer Douluo has investigated; the chances of survival are extremely slim. We don't know why the Empress and War Goddess of the Sun Moon Empire are targeting Brother Dai specifically, but for the sake of the common people of Star Luo City…”

The words stopped abruptly. Everyone here is smart; some things don't need to be said outright. If the battle to defend Xingluo City fails, Xu Jiawei will definitely sacrifice Dai Hao to save the innocent people of Xingluo City.

"Saint Evil Douluo".

After a long silence, she suddenly spoke. Amidst the chaos of war, her once beautiful face had become somewhat haggard, but her eyes were filled with hope and expectation as she softly asked:

"What methods do you think the Star Luo Empire should use to defeat the Sun Moon Empire?"

"this……"

Ling Bai hesitated for a second, then lowered his eyes and said, "Let's discuss this further."

A few seats away, Dugu Lin kept observing Ling Bai's changing expression. Her emerald green eyes flickered slightly, and at her fingertips, a nine-section jade snake flickered its scarlet tongue.

"Saint..."

Xu Jiujiu seemed to want to say something more, but was interrupted by Xu Jiawei:

"The Angel Empire has just emerged from the Battle of Jialing Pass, and its support for the Star Luo Empire is already an act of benevolence. Jiu Jiu, arrange accommodation for the Angel Empire, and we will discuss countermeasures again tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a long while, she bit her red lips tightly. She had a secret in her heart. Back in the Youyao Forest, she had seen the Death Prison Douluo before he had grown up. She was absolutely certain that the original sect master, Du Busi, was definitely not the Death Prison Douluo.

The cunning frog touches your belly; Saint Evil Douluo Ling Bai and Death Prison Douluo Ning Bai are the same person.

Ling Bai is the number one Holy Soul Master on the continent, and also the number one Evil Soul Master. As everyone knows, Evil Soul Masters are born with a knack for killing. If Ling Bai were to slaughter the Sun and Moon Army without regard for anything else, the Star Luo Empire might be able to turn the tide of battle.

This thought lingered in his mind for a long time. After sending Ling Bai to the front of the military tent, he prepared to follow him inside, hoping to use their past relationship to help the Star Luo Empire fight for its future.

At the crucial moment, a fair hand with emerald green nail polish pressed down from behind for a long time. Dugu Lin put her arm around the unsuspecting Ling Qiuxi and gently pushed her into the tent, a cryptic smile on her face.

"Princess Jiu Jiu, Saint Evil Douluo has important matters to attend to, please excuse us."

"……good."

Xu Jiujiu gave Dugu Lin a deep look, then turned away dejectedly. With the country beset by internal and external troubles, she did not want to offend this extremely dangerous viper.

"Neuropathy!"

Ling Qiuxi crawled out of the tent and scolded Dugu Lin in an annoyed manner. The latter did not take it to heart, but just looked through the gap in the tent at the figure inside who seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. Her pair of green eyes seemed to have no emotion at all, yet also seemed to be a mixture of a thousand emotions.

late at night.

The Xingluo military camp was eerily quiet, save for the crackling of the campfire and the footsteps of the patrolling guards. From the shadows, a dark figure, as nimble as a snake, weaved past all the guards, leaving the camp and rushing towards the Xingluo city gate.

"stop."

A cold shout came from behind, and the dark figure suddenly froze in place, slowly turning around to see a flawless, stunningly beautiful face.

Ling Qiuxi crossed her arms and questioned coldly, "Dugu Lin, where are you going so late at night?"

The figure in the shadows was none other than Dugu Lin. She shrugged and said calmly, "The military camp is too stuffy, so I came out for a stroll."

"I've followed you all the way; you're clearly trying to leave the city!"

Ling Qiuxi roared, her pupils instantly transforming into the golden vertical pupils of a golden dragon. The Golden Dragon Spear appeared, its eight spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red—rising fiercely and releasing a powerful and violent pressure!

"Explain clearly, what do you want to do!"

"Buzz—"

A rich emerald green light illuminated the scene, and Dugu Lin was surrounded by eight spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, two black, and two red. The spirit rings were perfectly matched, and she was not afraid of Ling Qiuxi. The Azure Phosphorous Serpent King raised its fierce and cruel head and stared directly at the Golden Dragon, the ancestor of power!

"Fight me?" Ling Qiuxi scoffed.

On the surface, their spirit rings are exactly the same color, but there is a huge difference between their eighth spirit rings alone. The Demonic Tiger Whale King is 200,000 years more powerful than the King of the Nine Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus!

Moreover, as both possessing ultimate attributes, the Golden Dragon is inherently stronger than the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King. Its robust blood and qi provide extremely strong resistance to ultimate poisons, giving Ling Qiuxi 100% confidence in capturing Dugu Lin.

Faced with Huang Jinlong's relentless pressure, Dugu Lin let out a cold laugh: "You lot can only accompany him in his pleasures, not one of you can share his worries!"

If I were his childhood sweetheart, none of you would take him away from me!

"What do you mean?" Ling Qiuxi's eyebrows furrowed, her aura growing increasingly dangerous.

When the truth was exposed, Dugu Lin simply stopped pretending and revealed the truth: "Do you know why Ling Bai didn't answer Xu Jiujiu directly? He wants to believe in not only the original three Douluo Empires, but also the Sun Moon Empire in the future!"

The Sun Moon Empire's 600,000-strong army is an aggressor. From the perspective of the three great empires, the aggressor must die. However, the Sun Moon army is too powerful. Even with the combined efforts of the Star Luo City and the other two kingdoms, they are not capable of destroying them. On the surface, only Ling Bai can turn the tide of the war.

You must understand one thing: the executioner must not be Ling Bai, because the key to becoming a god through faith is the persona. He is a six-winged angel who saves people from suffering, not a demon with blood on his hands!

At times like these, someone has to take the blame for him and kill these invaders for him. On one hand, he is the leader of the Angel Empire's reinforcements, and the people of the Star Luo Empire will forever remember his contributions!

On the other hand, once the two continents are unified, the Angel Empire will whitewash him as quickly as possible. After all, he only killed the evil soul master Ye Xishui and the evil soul master's lackey Long Xiaoyao. At most, he also added a few hundred people from the Dragon Emperor Soul Master Corps, which is completely incomparable to an army of 600,000!

Ling Qiuxi, for the sake of the bigger picture, you haven't seen me tonight.

In a head-on fight, I'm no match for you, but in a group battle, you're far inferior!

"I'll be the most heinous of men!"

Ling Qiuxi's pupils shrank to almost a slit. She couldn't believe that Dugu Lin would go to such lengths for Ling Bai, and her cold, hard attitude softened involuntarily.

"I heard that your ancestor, Dugu Yan, had cured the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom. Later, the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, slaughtered a million soldiers at Jialing Pass, which brought divine retribution upon him."

Aren't you afraid that the snake venom will backfire and harm you and your offspring?

"I don't care!"

Dugu Lin scoffed, gazing up at the endless starry sky, feeling lost and dejected: "When I was born, my ancestors predicted that I would not live past the age of twenty-five, and I happen to be twenty-five this year."

I am all alone in this world. Everyone I know fears me, hates me, and no one wants to get close to me. Only he gave me a glimmer of hope.

I know it was mostly out of pity; he didn't truly love me.

But for a desperate person, all they need is a little light.

I can be covered in filth and despised by everyone, while the people I love enjoy the worship of the masses in the sunlight. Whatever divine retribution comes from, let it come to me!

That twisted and insane love blossomed. Ling Qiuxi was shocked by Dugu Lin's obsession. Dugu Lin silently put away her eight spirit rings, brushed past Ling Qiuxi, and resolutely walked towards the outside of Xingluo City.

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Ling Qiuxi shouted suddenly.

"you?"

"Two people are always better than one; if you succeed, be good to him."

The two women walked side by side, their long hair whipping wildly in the wind. Ling Qiuxi looked down at the pendant on her chest, the black dragon's reverse scale absorbing all the starlight and moonlight.

This time, without the intervention of the Sea God Tang San, the Emperor Heaven's Pillar Force has returned!

Outside the city, the Sun and Moon Army operated continuously, like a giant millstone slowly turning, with soul guides ready to be activated at any time to blast Star Luo City into dust.

Two Soul Douluos with extreme attributes easily bypassed the Star Luo soldiers guarding the city and left the city. After Dugu Lin saw the high-altitude detection soul guide device above the Sun and Moon Legion's encampment, she activated the 100,000-year-old Snow Swan Kiss Soul Bone. The soul skill aura barrier concealed their figures, and they slowly made their way towards the Sun and Moon Legion.

Poison is a dark and unpredictable ability, and its effectiveness against powerful opponents is very limited, except for extremely potent poisons.

The seventh spirit ring quietly bloomed, and Dugu Lin transformed into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, wandering around the edges of the Sun and Moon Garrison, injecting the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King's poison into the ground.

The ground gradually turned emerald green, rapidly extending into the military camp like an encirclement. Ling Qiuxi followed closely behind, wary of enemy attacks. Suddenly, she patted the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King's back, belatedly realizing what was happening:

"Let's call Ning Tian along. She'll use the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to boost your attributes, and the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King's Poison will definitely be more potent!"

"Go easy on me." Dugu Lin gasped. "How about you become my Poison Soul Master instead?"

With eight hundred schemes running through her body, Dugu Lin targeted the large number of Soul Masters below level seventy, frantically spewing Azure Phosphorus Serpent King Poison onto the ground.

The ninth-level Soul Masters take turns controlling the Soul Master Corps, and tonight it just so happens to be the turn of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall.

Jing Hongchen strolled leisurely past the neatly arranged Sun and Moon Army camps, hands behind his back, a beaming smile on his face.

"The Empire will soon be able to breach Star Luo City. By the way, the Star Luo Empire has pretty good landscaping; the land is all green..."

wrong!"

Jing Hongchen was immediately shocked and took to the air. Looking down at the ground from high above, he saw the eerie emerald green color encroaching on the Sun and Moon Legion from all directions. He also saw the culprit!

Dugu Lin gave Jing Hongchen a chilling smile, lightly touching her short, emerald-green hair by her ear. At this moment, she had withdrawn her Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul True Body, her face as pale as paper, clearly indicating that her soul power was exhausted. A chilling coldness made Jing Hongchen's limbs go cold, and her body trembled involuntarily. She recalled Meng Hongchen's words after the exchange student program ended.

"Grandpa, I met a female student at Shrek Academy. Her surname is Dugu, and she seems to be a descendant of the Poison Douluo from ten thousand years ago. Her martial soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, is fused with the Jade Phosphorous Five Poisons, which is more terrifying than my Zhu Qing Ice Toad Poison."

"Sun and Moon Legion, enemy attack—"

Without any booming sound or spectacular explosion, as Dugu Lin raised her palms, a misty, emerald-green gas rose from the ground, spreading to every corner of the Sun and Moon Legion.

"ah--"

The first to scream was a Level 3 Soul Master. He glanced down and his military boots turned green. His heart turned cold instantly, and in extreme terror, he screamed and spat out a mouthful of emerald green blood. He collapsed to the ground with a thud, and his body began to be rapidly corroded by the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King's Poison.

The Azure Phosphorous Serpent King's venom enveloped the Sun and Moon Garrison, and the poisonous mist instantly permeated the camp. By the time Soul Masters and ordinary soldiers noticed, parts of their bodies had already turned green. Some who were injured in the previous battle died on the spot from the poison, and even Soul Masters with higher Soul Power could clearly feel the terrifying venom eroding their internal organs along their blood vessels.

The ultimate level of poison, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King Poison, cannot be stopped by soul power. The more soul power is activated, the faster the blood circulates, and the sooner one will go to hell to meet the King of Hell.

Screams echoed like a tidal wave through the Sun and Moon Legion. Soul Masters below the seventh ring didn't even have time to draw their Soul Guidance Shields before losing their lives to the poison of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King. The legion was thrown into chaos. Anyone who came into contact with even a little of the green mist would have their body corroded by the deadly poison. Amidst the screams, more and more Soul Masters fell into the Azure Phosphorous Poison Mist, becoming new sources of poison and part of the mist itself.

Higher-level Soul Masters were still struggling in the poisonous fog, but it was only a matter of time before they died from the poison of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King. As the number of corpses increased exponentially, the poison in the Sun Moon Empire's military camp became more and more concentrated. The Azure Phosphorus Poison Fog rose up, obscuring the sky and the stars and moon, just like the ancient poisonous miasma surrounding the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!

Like an irreversible cycle, ten thousand years later, the successor of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor walked the old path of his ancestors!

The sky was filled with lush greenery!
