Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

The Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Useless! Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

"It's good that they're dead! They should all die!"

In the magnificent and extravagant imperial palace, Emperor Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, while bloody battle reports from the front lines were torn into countless fragments.

Seeing the emperor's fury, the palace maids and eunuchs fell silent, trying their best to hold their breath, afraid of accidentally offending him and becoming the punching bag for this doomed emperor.

The three armies of the Sun Moon Empire were almost completely wiped out, with only a few remnants surviving. The Star Luo invasion army, led by the Empress and the God of War Orange, was even more tragic, with only one survivor remaining – Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall.

The first thing Jing Hongchen did upon returning to Mingdu was to personally visit Xu Tianran, despite his severe injuries, to apologize. On the way, he denounced the Xingluo Empire for storing extremely potent poison and for using despicable means to massacre the Sun Moon Empire's 600,000-strong army.

Amidst the chaos of the army's morale collapse, the Angel Empire's reinforcements launched a surprise attack on the Sun Moon Empire. Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming was no match for Holy Evil Douluo Ling Bai, and along with the two Guardian Soul Master Corps and Ju Zi, he perished.

According to Jing Hongchen himself, when he realized that the defeat was irreversible, he decisively used the new soul tool developed by Mingde Hall to deceive everyone. After the Angel Empire withdrew, he appeared and secretly slipped back to the Sun Moon Empire.

After recounting the entire war, Jing Hongchen righteously pleaded with Xu Tianran that he had lost all will to live and wished only for death to atone for the defeat in the war.

Although Xu Tianran hated Jing Hongchen so much that he wanted to tear him to pieces, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was to the Sun Moon Empire what Shrek Academy was to the three great empires of Douluo. As the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Jing Hongchen was a household name in the Sun Moon Empire.

In this timeline, since the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wasn't destroyed, it wouldn't be easy for Xu Tianran to make a move against Jing Hongchen.

In addition, the five guardians of the Sun Moon Empire were wiped out, and many level nine soul masters, including Kong Deming, Ye Yulin, Xu Tianyuan, and Wang Yiheng, perished. Now, the strongest person in the Sun Moon Empire is Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall.

The three invading armies suffered a crushing defeat, and the balance of power shifted. The Angel Empire could launch a counterattack against the Sun Moon Empire at any moment. At this critical juncture, if Xu Tianran insisted on killing Jing Hongchen, then he could simply slit his own throat and follow Jing Hongchen in death.

Therefore, even though he loathed Jing Hongchen, Xu Tianran had to suppress his anger and forgive him, and quickly assembled a Soul Master Corps, and had Mingde Hall provide high-precision Soul Guidance Devices.

"Oranges..."

After a long, impotent rage, Xu Tianran looked up to the sky and sighed. Ju Zi proposed a war strategy of feigning an attack on Tianhun Douling while actually launching a full-scale invasion of Xingluo, which resulted in the destruction of the Sun Moon Empire's millennia-old accumulated power.

Without the Five Guardians of the Nation, without Kong Deming, and without the Holy Spirit Cult, can the Sun Moon Empire hope to turn the tide against the Angel Empire, which is sharpening its knives?

Six months later, in Shrek City, at the Tang Clan headquarters.

Since the two academies began their exchange student program, with the support of Shrek Academy, Bei Bei has been recruiting disciples again to revitalize the Tang Sect's glory.

The idea was good, but reality was harsh; the road to reconstruction was not smooth.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon, which was highly anticipated, failed to gain favor with the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire. The attempt to obtain rare metals from the Xishui Alliance also ended in failure, and the development of the Tang Sect remained slow.

It wasn't until the Star Dou Beast Tide attacked Shrek City that the Tang Sect's long-bent back finally broke.

The mastermind behind it all is Tang San, the founder of the Tang Clan. Thousands of Shrek City's defense troops died because of the beast tide, so how could their families let the Tang Clan off the hook?

The Tang in Tangmen is the same as the Tang San in Tang San.

The Tang Sect cannot erase Tang San like Shrek Academy did. After all, Tang San's significance to the two major forces is vastly different. One is an outstanding student, and the other is the founder of the sect. It is obvious which is more important.

Under pressure from the people of Shrek City, Tang Sect disciples left one by one, leaving only Bei Bei, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Xuan Ziwen still holding on.

Leaving aside He Caitou, Xiao Xiaoxuan, and Ziwen, who haven't experienced the Valley of Love and Destiny, Xu Sanshi, Beibei, Jiang Nannan, and even Huo Yuhao are all somewhat disappointed in Tang San and sometimes feel lost, as continuing to maintain the empty shell of the Tang Sect seems meaningless.

The ancestral boomerang, the scorn of the masses, the departure of disciples, and the silence of Shrek Academy—the Tang Sect may have reached its end. Today, acting sect leader Bei Bei finally made a decision, summoning everyone for a sect meeting.

The Shrek Six Monsters and Xuan Ziwen sat around a round table, each of them looking disappointed. They weren't stupid; they guessed what Beibei wanted to talk about.

"This is the last sect meeting, so don't look so gloomy."

Beibei seemed to have come to terms with everything, and said with a smile, "Even if the Tang Clan disbands, we will still be the closest of brothers and sisters."

"Senior Brother..."

Xiao Xiao was the first to lose control of her emotions, and tears fell like a kite with a broken string. Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Beibei said gently, "If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. Ten thousand years ago, the Tang Clan was glorious because of Tang San, and ten thousand years later, it also collapsed because of Tang San."

The gloomy days will eventually pass. Let's look ahead. The academy has chosen to embrace tomorrow. The Shrek Seven Devils statues in the center of the square have all been removed and replaced with angel statues of the Holy Evil Douluo, symbolizing Shrek Academy's march towards a bright new era.

Ling Bai needs faith, the Angel Empire hopes to establish a reform pioneer, Ma Xiaotao unconditionally supports her lover, and Shrek Academy erects an angel statue. However, Ma Xiaotao harbors a little scheme; Ling Bai holds a majestic and divine fire phoenix in his hands.

"We are all graduates of the Inner Academy, and the Tang Sect has disbanded. Let's talk about what we want to do next. I'll start."

Beibei started the conversation, her blue-purple eyes filled with longing: "Having laid down the burden of the Tang Sect, I plan to leave Shrek City, travel the continent, search for Xiaoya, and then ask the Angel Temple to remove the evil aura of the Dark Blue Silver Grass."

Empress Ye Guyi, the Angelic Queen, ordered that the deacons of the Angelic Temple awaken the martial soul of a six-year-old child free of charge. The evil martial soul would not be executed on the spot, and the deacons would be responsible for taking him to the Angelic Holy City to purify the evil nature of the martial soul with the power of the angels.

Beibei thought this was Tang Ya's chance, but what he didn't know was that the Angel Empire's mercy was limited to children who had not harmed innocent lives.

The fate of evil spirit masters can always be summed up in one word: death!

He Caitou, the second senior brother, replied in a deep voice, "I want to join the army and watch Xu Tianran perish with my own eyes."

He Caitou's real name was Xu He. His lineage was brutally slaughtered by Xu Tianran's father, thus creating a deep-seated hatred between them.

Huo Yuhao sighed softly. He was the only one who knew He Caitou's secret and understood He Caitou's desire for revenge. However, with the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent unified, joining the army meant joining the Angel Empire and becoming Ling Bai's henchman.

Xu Sanshi scratched his head and spread his hands, saying, "The Angel Empire has appointed me as the Duke of Lingdou, and my parents have urged me to go back time and time again."

The Xuanming Sect is wholeheartedly supporting the Angel Empire and instructed me to cultivate a good relationship with the Holy Evil Douluo, absorb the Golden Tortoise Heaven-given Soul Ring, and evolve my Martial Soul into the Golden Xuanwu.

"Duke Lingdou, once you've made it big, remember to help your brother find Xiaoya," Beibei teased, putting her arm around Xu Sanshi's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, let go of me now!"

Xu Sanshi feigned disdain, then glanced furtively at Jiang Nannan, pretending to be calm, and asked, "Nannan, what about you? Do you want to come to Lingdou City with me?"

Because certain scenes that deepened their relationship were missing, He Caitou and Xiao Xiao didn't end up together, and Xu Sanshi was still tragically stuck being a simp, making one last effort.

Jiang Nannan glanced at him and said coldly, "No interest. The Angel Temple invited me to join, starting directly as a Level 6 Deacon."

"Then I'll agree. I'll choose Tianxuan City because it's close to home, making it easier to take care of my mother."

Xiao Xiao twirled a strand of dark green hair between her fingers and parted her red lips slightly: "Fourth Senior Sister, the Angel Temple has also invited me. This means that the Angel Empire is trying its best to recruit soul masters from the continent, especially graduates of Shrek Academy like us."

My family hopes I will take up a post at the Angel Temple headquarters in the capital of the Angel Empire, so I can have more contact with the Temple Master and Inner Court senior, Dugu Lin. This will be beneficial to my future.

"Wow, Xiao Xiao, I need a Golden Tortoiseshell Soul Ring!"

Xu Sanshi's eyes lit up. Headquarters! Wouldn't it be full of divinely bestowed spirit rings?

"Where is Teacher Xuan?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

"An old friend wrote to me a while ago." Xuan Ziwen patted his storage soul tool. "The soul tool technology of the Angel Empire is all on one person's shoulders. She said she's almost exhausted and wants me to take over as soon as possible."

"Have you all joined the Angel Empire...?"

Huo Yuhao's expression was inexplicably complicated. Everyone was more or less related to the Angel Empire, which indirectly showed how strong the Angel Empire's control was. The God-given Soul Ring changed the continent's landscape.

"Yuhao, will you continue as a senior member of the Holy See?"

"No, I've withdrawn from the Holy Pavilion," Huo Yuhao said dejectedly.

The new era's great ship has no need for the old era's crew. Huo Yuhao is a disciple of the Tang Sect and the lover of Tang San's daughter. Although Ma Xiaotao didn't deliberately target him because of Elder Mu, Huo Yuhao could still feel many strange looks.

He was not a power-hungry person, so he simply gave up the position of Elder of St. John.

Shortly after the Battle of Star Luo City, news came from the Angel Empire that Dai Hao had succumbed to his injuries and passed away, and his eldest son, Dai Yueheng, had inherited the title of Duke of White Tiger.

The nominal father died, and the mother got her revenge.

The Tang Sect disbanded, Shrek Academy ostracized him, and the Angel Empire killed Ju Zi; he didn't want to join them and risk his life for them...

Dong'er!

A jolt of inspiration struck Huo Yuhao, and he sprang to his feet, declaring firmly:

"I must rescue Dong'er!"

After bidding farewell to his senior brothers and sisters from the Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao traveled day and night towards Jiubao City. His bright eyes grew brighter and brighter. In his heart, Tang Wutong was always Wang Dong'er. His longing for Wang Dong'er was like a torrent of water. Suddenly, he comprehended several abilities.

In the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ling Bai spends his days quietly comprehending spatial attributes. In the past six months, the Angel Empire has integrated the power of the three great empires and developed steadily and orderly. Once its rule is more stable, the Angel Empire will launch its final battle to counterattack the Sun and Moon Empire.

"My lord, someone has come to visit. His name is Huo Yuhao."

The mermaid princess Regent's soft voice came from outside the door.

"Huo Yuhao..."

Ling Bai was slightly taken aback; this was truly a rare guest!

"Reception room".

"Yes."

Huo Yuhao sat on the luxurious sofa with his back straight. The spatial gate opened, and Ling Bai descended with a strong pressure, causing Huo Yuhao's body to tremble violently.

A level 61 Soul Emperor resisting a level 98 Yin-Yang complementary dual-soul core Super Douluo is truly a difficult task for Lao Huo.

"You wouldn't come here without a reason, so just say it."

Ling Bai smiled calmly. Huo Yuhao had no chance to become a god, and the Sea God Tang San had abandoned him. Ling Bai would not lower himself to target a mere Soul Emperor.

"Release Dong'er," Huo Yuhao said, his eyes burning.

"Get him out."

Ling Bai's interest waned, and he waved his hand to instruct Li Jing. The 100,000-year-old golden-crowned mermaid princess instantly conjured a golden harpoon.

"Wait a moment!"

Huo Yuhao shouted, "Let's make a bet: if you suppress your strength to level 61, neither of us will use spirit rings or spirit bones; we'll settle this with combat skills!"

If you win, I'll let you do whatever you want with me, without any questions asked.

I won. Release Dong'er and don't pursue her mistakes any further!

Upon hearing this, Ling Bai's expression immediately turned strange, while Li Jing covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from laughing out loud.

"Let me teach you a lesson: only an idiot would agree to a so-called bet."

Out of consideration for the million-year-old primordial power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, I'll make an exception and give you a chance.

Where do you get the confidence to think you can beat me, someone at the same level? Show me, and I'll allow you to meet her.

"……good!"

Even if it's just one side, Huo Yuhao nodded emphatically!

He stood up and remained motionless, gazing into the distance with a dazed expression. He then unleashed a punch into the air and roared:

"Si Dong Fist, thoughts flow like a spring!"

"..."

Ling Bai was surprised that Huo Yuhao had mastered some incredible skill, only to find out it was the Hao Dong Three Wonders!

Don't even mention it, it really broke through my defenses!

"Stop, stop shouting."

Unable to bear it any longer, Ling Bai tore open a space, leading directly to the underground secret chamber of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Wang Dong'er, Tang Wutong...

If you insist on meeting, then let's meet.

Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to rush into the spatial passage to see his beloved, whom he had been longing for day and night.

The lamplight was dim, and water droplets seeping from the walls slowly slid down the cracks in the stone, occasionally dripping onto the cold floor. The faint sounds echoed in the deathly silent chamber, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression.

In the center of the room, the woman leaned weakly against a rough wooden chair, her body tortured to the limit. Her clothes were tattered, and her exposed fair skin was covered with purplish-blue marks, the marks left by countless whippings and tortures. Every breath she took was accompanied by spasms of her body.

The person who tortured her was highly skilled; her stunning face remained unharmed, even her skin retained its radiant glow. Her once lively eyes now held only weariness and despair, empty and lifeless, as if burying all hope and pain along with them.

"Dong'er, Dong'er, Dong'er!"

Huo Yuhao's heart shattered in an instant. Overwhelmed with grief, he lunged at the woman. He wanted to embrace his lover, but the shocking wounds on her delicate body made him unable to bring himself to do it. He was like a broken puppet.

Ling Bai watched the heartwarming scene of the lovers' reunion with a leisurely air. The woman's injuries were none of his concern, and he was not the one who hated Tang San the most in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

A voice reached her ears, and the woman numbly raised her head, looking at the weeping Huo Yuhao, and said, word by word:

"I am Tang Wutong." (End of Chapter)
