Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

A layer of golden light shot out from the mouth of the bowl, enveloping Xu Tianran and Ju Zi.

The Sun Moon Empire's most powerful defensive soul tool, the Eternal Starfield!

The radiance of the two beauties faded after unleashing their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, revealing two pale-faced women. They were panting heavily, clearly having expended a great deal of energy in that attack.

But suddenly, a dark cloud rose up in the sky!

The clouds began to shift and change between white, yellow, purple, and black, billowing and spitting out like a living thing. A powerful surge of soul energy rose once more!

Is this never going to end?!

It's time to close the net.

Xu Tianran's face turned ashen, starlight scattered, and the protection of the Eternal Starfield was actually removed by him.

Seeing this, the Soul Masters who were launching a fierce attack became even more frenzied, and the four-colored cloud in the sky also shone to its fullest extent at this moment.

"Your Highness! We must hurry—" Orange exclaimed.

"It's alright!"

Xu Tianran's voice resounded throughout the venue. He waved his hand, and his eyes began to fill with a madness that bordered on distorted confidence.

"Send word to the Master of the Red Dust Hall—"

"Zha zha, zha zha, ga ga, ga ga, zhi zhi, zhi zhi..."

Strange sounds came from all directions.

"Prepare!"

Below the palace, extremely powerful auras began to emerge!

Title Douluo!

The powerful figures who originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms were immediately filled with shock and anger.

Xu Tianran actually had so many powerful figures hidden away. Did he dare to defy the world and let a ninth-ring expert participate in the killing under the title?

"Yes." A servant kneeled on one knee beside Xu Tianran to receive the order.

A beam of four-colored light shot out!

"Ju Zi, watch! See these people, before me, either submit or die!"

Xu Tianran opened his arms and let out a long roar.

So what if we defy the world?

He is destined to be the future ruler of the continent, a man ordained by Heaven!

In this battle, we will annihilate the backbone of the three kingdoms!

A deafening roar erupted.

The aroma grew stronger.

However, on the battlefield of the Imperial Study Ruins, no Soul Guidance Array was activated, no Title Douluo appeared, and no abnormalities occurred.

Only a single auspicious cloud of four colors swept in.

Xu Tianran's eyes widened suddenly.

The underground palace.

Jing Hongchen, holding a piece of "Red Dust's Longing" that was almost completely shattered, sat trembling on a small stool, not daring to lift her eyelids to look at the Death God Douluo sitting quietly in front of her, sipping tea.

At his feet, the corpses of Shadow Douluo Xue Chen and dozens of Xu Tianran's loyal followers lay stiff and lifeless, their dark red blood even reaching the eyes of some of them.

Even the slightest movement of Jing Hongchen's feet could feel that nauseating, sticky sensation.

That is blood.

Only blood.

Xu Tianran touched his chest.

It was empty there; there was nothing there but blood.

Heart hurts.

Chapter 318 The Regent Falls, the Crown Prince Dies, the Emperor Collapses: The Night Three Suns Fall Simultaneously

What is it like to lose your heart?

Few people may have a similar experience, and for those who have actually experienced it or are experiencing it, it is difficult to express the feelings of that moment in words.

Xu Tianran only knew that his strength was rapidly declining, and even lifting a finger became extremely difficult. The various sounds around him turned into a strange and irritating buzzing sound, like countless flies hovering around his ears.

The increasingly blurry image in my field of vision uncontrollably rotated upwards.

Strength, power, future, life—everything seemed to be slipping away from him. His expression stiffened involuntarily, and he retreated repeatedly as if utterly exhausted.

He even glanced with some confusion at the orange beside him, whose face was contorted in unspeakable terror, and at the crowd who had subtly stopped fighting.

It was as if he was asking everyone: What are you waiting for? Why don't you continue fighting?

The next moment, on the mirror-like thin ice covering the ruins of the Imperial Study, Xu Tianran saw his own reflection.

His face was horribly pale, even paler than his favorite white casual clothes, and his eyes bulged out.

Looking down again—

At the location of his heart, a huge, gaping hole stood out starkly against his white robes. His hand was already inside, groping for something.

It seemed as if his uncontrolled fingers had touched some important blood vessel, and Xu Tianran suddenly trembled violently.

Perhaps it was the intense pain, or perhaps he realized something at that moment, but snot and tears burst forth uncontrollably, flowing freely.

At this moment, all ambition, glory, power, and shame seemed unimportant. Between life and death, Xu Tianran uttered a sentence he had learned at the very beginning of his life.

"Mother……"

These were the regent's last words.

Even before he could unleash his long-hidden, peak-level Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, Xu Tianran's eyes lost all their luster, and he crashed heavily onto the broken ground.

The extremely ergonomically designed prosthetic leg suddenly jerked up as the back of his head made intimate contact with the ground, revealing a touch of absurdity and comicality in this final moment of his life.

Mo Feiyun recovered from his Martial Soul True Body state and stared blankly at the scene.

He seemed somewhat incredulous that such an almost impossible assassination mission had been accomplished so easily by him, an ordinary guard of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Not only him, but both sides in the fight were stunned.

Xu Tianran, who was seen by outsiders as the most powerful person in the Sun Moon Empire and the biggest advocate of war in the Sun Moon Empire, died just like that.

"Ah—! Your Highness!" Orange screamed.

Her heart was breaking. She had endured humiliation and hardship by Xu Tianran's side for so many years, all for the sake of taking revenge on Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger.

But now, with her only chance for revenge about to come her way, is she really going to vanish into thin air like this?!

Become!

Poison Undying was overjoyed. A black glint flashed in Xuanzi's eyes, and in a frenzy, he was about to rush down to expand his gains.

But Xu Tianran's death seems to have also provoked Long Xiaoyao.

His enormous black dragon form swirled in the air, and his already massive body suddenly underwent a drastic change, turning the solid black dragon into an illusory form.

But this illusory figure suddenly increased in size. In the blink of an eye, the black dragon that Long Xiaoyao had transformed into had become a thousand meters long!

The thousand-meter-long illusory dragon body coiled in mid-air, like a black Great Wall stretching across the sky, blocking Poison Undying, Xuanzi, and all the titled Douluo on their side, preventing them from launching any attacks downwards.

In an instant, a large amount of black air currents transformed into countless dark meteor storms, engulfing Xuanzi and Du Busi.

The palace below, which had been slow to erupt for some reason, now revealed its true form.

The friction sounds that were originally scattered suddenly came together.

This is……

The powerful figures from the three major forces, including Mo Feiyun, quickly sensed something was amiss. They were horrified to discover that the entire Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace seemed to be undergoing changes.

The rooms surrounding the building, each protected by a soul-guided shield, actually moved.

That's right. It moved!

Houses cracked open, and enormous cannon barrels began to emerge from within.

The cold, metallic luster, veiled by the light of the soul-guided shield, exuded an aura of destruction. Each giant cannon was like a sleeping beast, slowly awakening.

Xu Tianran had indeed accumulated a sufficiently deep foundation for this surprise attack. In fact, the Sun and Moon Palace contained 80% of the various soul-guided weapons of level seven or above in the entire Mingdu Armory.

Those who felt it even more deeply were the powerful beings in the sky.

Once they reach the level of Title Douluo, they will sense if they are in danger.

At that moment, without warning, a deadly threat suddenly arose in their hearts.

When they looked down, even powerful figures like Xuanzi and Du Busi couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The Ming Dynasty palace below appears to have been transformed into a metal forest.

One after another, enormous cannon barrels emerged from the building, and intense light was already flashing from their muzzles.

Among these giant cannons, even the smaller ones had a caliber of over a foot. Xuanzi saw the largest cannon, whose muzzle was over two meters in diameter.

Even if he knew nothing about soul tools, he could tell that these were at least level eight or higher! And some of them might even be fixed-position soul tools!

By this point, how could they not know how to deal with it?

"withdraw."

Xuanzi immediately shouted.

Overjoyed, Mo Feiyun immediately responded.

Knowing that killing Xu Tianran would make him a target of public criticism, he immediately unleashed his full soul power and tried to rush outwards.

But it's too late.

A soul-guided ray pierced through layers of people, instantly passing through his skull and leaving a trail of death.

Mo Feiyun's body remained in a forward-moving posture, but his head had already exploded. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, landing on the cold stone slab.
