Chapter 213 - Chapter 213 - The Final Showdown

Both sides fought, but did not kill the envoy. Qian Renxue returned safely to Zhenxing City and relayed the contents of the agreement to the long-awaited Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others.

The Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo from both sides began making their final preparations. The Star Luo Empire specially transferred a group of Soul Douluo from across the nation.

The Titled Douluo from the Suo, Li, and Du families were also recruited. Xu Mingxi didn't need them to do anything specific—just to restrain the heads of their old friends from the Zhao, Qian, and Mu families.

Star Luo Academy, which was jointly formed by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the four elemental academies, as well as the leading families of the Star Luo Empire and the former Heaven Dou Empire, became the alliance of many royal forces.

It could be said that all the forces of the Star Luo Empire had now united in this war, and those sent were all deans, clan leaders, and generals who protected the nation from every power.

This was a war to determine the ruler of the Douluo Continent. Any force not participating would gain nothing in the upcoming division of the victor's spoils.

Even Soul Douluo standing at the top of their forces, knowing the danger, had no choice but to come.

Moreover, the news of Qian Daoliu's death had spread. Anyone with eyes could see that the Star Luo Empire held a massive advantage in this battle. If they didn't seize the opportunity to profit now, when would they?

Compared to the strength of the Star Luo Empire, the Wuhun Empire was far weaker. It relied heavily on the capital of Spirit Hall. Now that Qian Daoliu was known to be dead, their momentum weakened even further.

Qian Renxue summoned the Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo of the Wuhun Empire and stepped onto a high platform to deliver the final wartime mobilization.

"I won't say anything more. You are all high-level officials of my Wuhun Empire. Of course, you may choose to leave now, but what then?

After the Wuhun Empire falls, can you escape liquidation by the Star Luo Empire? What about your families?

We have only one choice—to fight them to the end, to the death."

At the very least, this way they could protect their families and friends.

In a place no one could see, Qian Renxue's mouth was filled with bitterness, and she wiped away tears from her face.

The gap in combat power between the two sides was too great. She also wanted to let the Soul Douluo who believed in the Spirit Empire and the Angel God leave, but she couldn't.

Battles between high-level soul masters were even more tragic. Once death occurred, hatred would spread across the battlefield. These powerful individuals who knew one another would not miss the chance to avenge their fallen comrades.

That hatred would make it impossible for the Star Luo Empire to spare the high-ranking officials of the Spirit Empire. To calm the hearts of their own people, they would have to act.

If the Spirit Empire won, the outcome would be the same.

Qian Renxue could only hope that after the death of these high-level officials, the Star Luo Empire would treat the soul masters and people of the Spirit Empire well. That would be enough.

The Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo also understood this truth. Some were truly loyal to the Spirit Empire, others simply wished to protect their families and survive.

Some, like Chen Yan, had no choice but to stay. For these powerful yet conflicted people, it might be better to die in battle together.

Three days later, Xu Mingxi personally climbed the tower, holding a deep blue horn in his hand, staring across at the grand Zhenxing City.

Behind him stood most of the Titled and Soul Douluo of the Star Luo Empire. Facing this war, everyone was prepared to die in battle.

Xu Mingxi held the horn and mobilized his soul power. A magnificent and distant trumpet sounded, stirring the blood of all the soul masters behind him and igniting their fighting spirit.

This horn was a treasure of the Dai family from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. It was made from the horn of a Blue Bull Python, and could be blown using soul power to inspire people.

Under the influence of the horn's sound, all Titled Douluo collectively flew into the air, followed by the Soul Douluo, heading toward the center of the battlefield.

They wore flying soul guides made by soul tool experts, allowing even those without titles to stay airborne for long periods.

The Wuhun Empire was not to be outdone. Qian Renxue pulled out a wooden flag from her storage soul guide, painted with six angel wings.

The flagpole was made from a special plant-type soul beast called the Light Tree, and the flag was crafted from the hide of the Titan Giant Ape. The six white angel wings were clearly visible on the black background.

As Qian Renxue waved the flag, it emitted endless holy light, shining upon every soul master, inspiring their morale and enhancing their state.

Only Bibi Dong, who stood at the front of the formation surrounded by evil spirits, directly neutralized the holy light beside her.

She raised the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand, glanced unintentionally at Qian Renxue, and led the charge into the sky toward the battlefield.

The others followed closely behind. Without flying soul guides, many Soul Douluo chose to travel on foot to conserve their soul power.

As a result, the team's speed slowed slightly. By the time they reached the center of the battlefield, the Star Luo Empire's forces had already been waiting for a long time.

Both sides were extremely jealous of one another. Everyone wanted to defeat the other and make their own side the true ruler of the Douluo Continent.

Xu Mingxi and Bibi Dong stood in the sky, staring at each other. No words were exchanged. The aura around them surged. The Star Domain and Rakshasa Domain collided, shaking space itself.

Since completing all the Rakshasa God Trials, Bibi Dong's Death Domain and Killing God Domain had disappeared, replaced by the more compatible and powerful Rakshasa Domain.

Xu Mingxi's soul rings and soul bones were strong, but Bibi Dong also had twin martial spirits, and her total soul power was not inferior. With the blessing of divine artifacts, her strength was clearly not weaker than Xu Mingxi's semi-divine power.

The two silently soared into the sky and began to fight. Fierce energy exploded, but the aftermath of their battle was limited to the battlefield and did not affect anyone else.

Others also began choosing their opponents. Master Xu Chunxing faced Golden Crocodile Douluo, continuing their oceanic grudge to this day.

Ning Fengzhi did not fight, allowing Sword and Bone Douluo to go all out. The two suppressed Qianjun and Jiangmo, causing them significant pain.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo teamed up to face Lion Douluo. Even if they were slightly weaker in soul power, their perfect teamwork allowed them to fight evenly without losing ground.

Chen Yan, the only remaining Super Douluo of the Wuhun Empire, was countered by the Duke and Duchess of White Tiger. The Nether White Tiger, a pair who had fought together for years, was not someone the spoiled patriarch could resist.

Not to mention the other Titled Douluo—the difference in both numbers and strength left them at a clear disadvantage when the battle began.

The Star Luo Empire even had enough Titled Douluo left over to support the Soul Douluo on the battlefield, helping reduce their own casualties.

The Wuhun Empire had no way to stop them. They had already deployed all their top combat strength, and there were no more powerful fighters left in the empire to send.
