Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 432 The Heavenly Soul Empire was destroyed.

Under these circumstances, the Heavenly Soul Empire naturally became the most suitable target for attack.

The Sun Moon Empire only suffered damage to the Mingde Hall; its military strength remained as strong as ever. The Heavenly Soul Empire, on the other hand, lost its national protector sect due to the seclusion of the Body Sect.

Of course, there is something even more important.

That is, the rare metal vein in the far north was eventually discovered by the Sun Moon Empire.

The allure of territorial expansion and the temptation of rare metal veins—under these dual temptations, Xu Tianran's eyes were filled with 'power' in one eye and 'profit' in the other, and he became instantly obsessed with excitement.

Fighting Star Luo?

What's the point of attacking Star Luo? Star Luo Empire doesn't have any rare metal mines at all. First, crush Heaven Soul Empire, then rely on a rare metal mine with explosive production capacity, and use the resources of Douluo Continent to attack Douluo Continent!

And so, our "Empress and War Goddess" has finally been released.

However, she did not use the original tactics. Instead, she used level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannons to pave the way, breaking through all the defenses of the Heavenly Soul Empire and launching a blitzkrieg that captured the Heavenly Soul capital in three days.

Before the Star Luo Empire could even react, the Heavenly Soul Empire was already gone.

The Douling Empire, which was in a state of stagnation, was so frightened that it sprang up from its stagnation state and watched in fear as the Guardian Hand of the Sun Moon Empire continued to besiege and wipe out the remnants of the defeated army on the original territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Under these circumstances, how could the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire dare to say anything about sending troops to reinforce the Heavenly Soul Empire?

The Heavenly Soul Empire was utterly defeated by the Sun Moon Empire in its homeland operations, leaving them battered and bruised and humiliated. If they were to launch cross-border operations and send their troops to clash with the Sun Moon Empire, wouldn't they be shattered at the first touch?

Therefore, all the Star Luo Empire and the Douluo Empire can do is to continuously strengthen their border defenses.

To be honest, Xu Jiawei was a little panicked, but not extremely panicked. After all, he was a wealthy man with dozens of level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in his pocket. At worst, he would just blow up the Sun Moon Empire.

Last time, Dai Hao blew me away with his level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell. If he dares to come again, then we'll keep bombing him!

Those who offend my Star Luo—

Ugh~

Xu Jiawei simply did not understand that the last time Sun Moon retreated, it was not because of the level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in his hands, but because he was wary of the level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that Lin Yun had stored in his hands.

If Xu Jiawei still relies on those level-eight fixed-position soul-guided shells, Xu Tianran will show him what cruelty is.

Back to the topic.

The Heavenly Soul Empire is basically beyond saving. The only thing that can be done is to send Vina and some members of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family to the Body Sect in an attempt to preserve a portion of the royal bloodline.

Emperor Wei Zhentian of Tianhun passed away gloriously during the defense of the Tianhun capital. Princess Vina burst into tears on the spot and was then pulled away by other members of the royal family, thus saving her life.

The remaining remnants of the Heavenly Soul Empire were also gradually devoured by the Sun Moon Empire.

But an orange is still an orange.

Although people are somewhat abstract, their attitude towards civilians is genuinely good. As long as they do not resist, the Sun Moon Empire's army does not commit any acts of burning, killing, or looting wherever it goes, and only attacks the remnants of the Heavenly Soul Empire's army.

Over time, the common people in the major cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire learned of this news and later cooperated with the army of the Sun Moon Empire, helping them to quickly take over one city after another.

Alright, sir, please come in.

It's true that they couldn't hold it in anymore.

In just half a month, the Heavenly Soul Empire completely fell and became nothing more than a name in history, with no possibility of restoration.

Unless Lin Yun can help them.

Help my ass... The Heavenly Soul Empire didn't kneel down and kiss Lin Yun's shoes. He's dead, so what? It has nothing to do with him, the Lord of Soul Beasts, for even a single copper soul coin.

Having successfully occupied the entire territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Orange implemented her "Soul Tool Popularization Plan" within the Heavenly Soul Empire while simultaneously organizing an army to travel to the far north to explore and mine the resources within that rare metal vein.

To be honest, this mineral vein is incredibly rich in resources, even more so than the Jingyang Mountains before they were ever mined.

Jingyang Mountain Range is an indispensable habitat for soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire, so it is simply impossible to level it and then mine it without restraint.

Rare metals are good, that's true, but spirit rings are good too!

If the Jingyang Mountains were to be nuked, countless Soul Masters and Soul Instructors of the Sun Moon Empire would be deprived of their Soul Rings. Nuking the Jingyang Mountains would be a short-sighted and destructive act.

But if it were a mineral vein in the far north, then there would be no problem at all!

This place is not exactly a godforsaken place, but it's definitely a desolate, uninhabited area. You can travel hundreds of kilometers outwards without seeing a single human city, and you have to travel dozens of kilometers inwards to reach the Frozen Forest.

It's in the middle of nowhere, with no villages or shops nearby, and no humans or spirit beasts around, making it an excellent resource point that can be mined without any issues.

Xu Tianran was stunned as if he had been hit by a mountain of gold falling from the sky. After all, these rare metals were the foundation for him to unify the continent!

"Beat me! Give me a good beating!"

So when the Ice and Snow Emperors returned from the Star Dou Great Forest and passed by this place on their way home, they saw tens of thousands of humans digging through the frozen soil with great enthusiasm and having a great time.

Huge metal pillars stand on the ice field, and hard drills drill through the permafrost, opening up passages to the depths of the earth.

Various rare metal ores of different colors were also mined by the soul-guided machine and brought to the surface.

"Xue'er, what are these humans doing?" Hyotei looked at the bustling scene below, filled with doubt and fury. "How dare they run wild in our far north, disturbing the peace of the far north! These humans are simply courting death!"

Xue Di observed everything happening below indifferently. After a few minutes, she spoke up: "Judging from the clothing of these people, they all belong to the Sun Moon Empire. As for those devices, they should all be soul tools that His Excellency instructed us to keep an eye on."

"The manufacture of soul tools requires rare metals, and it is clear that these humans have discovered a rare metal vein in our far north and are now mining the resources of our far north."

"Bing'er, you're right, these humans do indeed have a way of courting death!"

Hyotei clenched his fist, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Let us show them that the far north is not a place where they can run wild!"
