"What's your title?"
"Your strength is quite impressive. Even if that guy Hailong came, he probably wouldn't be your match."
"You deserve to have your title remembered.
Promise to submit to the glory of the Sea God, and I will spare your life and even make you an honorary guest of my Sea God family."
Chen Hanhai effortlessly wielded his trident, repeatedly sending Du Busi flying, his azure eyes full of admiration.
This guy, whose martial soul was his true form, was a top expert even within the Sea God family. Hailong might not even be his match. If
the Sea God family wanted to rule the land in the future, they would definitely have to find a way to subdue all the land-based soul masters.
This guy was so strong; his status on the land must be quite high.
If he submitted to the Sea God family, the resistance he would face in ruling the continent would be much less.
Du Busi was covered in bloody wounds, but thanks to his strong physique, he wasn't seriously injured.
Hearing the words of the Sea God Douluo, he almost ground his teeth to powder.
"Convert to the Sea God?"
"Go to hell! I hate those hypocrites! I only believe in my own body!"
Chen Hanhai's eyes narrowed slightly, his aura turning fierce.
The entire space seemed to echo with the roar of massive waves, and the trident in his hand emitted a dangerous white light.
"Stubborn fool."
"A mere level 98, I've already been very lenient by speaking to you like this."
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences."
The eighth scarlet soul ring emitted a captivating red light, emanating an aura of coldness, cruelty, slaughter, and madness.
Chen Hanhai threw the white-glowing trident in his hand.
A white light suddenly tore through space, leaving a fleeting, bright white trail in the air.
Poison Undying's entire mental energy went into overdrive; if this attack hit him, he would likely be severely injured, if not killed.
"Hmph, level ninety-nine? My soul tool isn't at a disadvantage either."
An aged voice suddenly rang out, and a golden shield instantly rose up, protecting Poison Undying. The white flash slammed into the shield.
It seemed that only this voice remained in the world.
Turbulent energy tore the earth apart, and the resulting shockwaves, carrying thick dust, crashed against the remaining walls of Star Luo City.
A dark blue rune flashed, and the shockwave, powerful enough to destroy half of Star Luo City, was manipulated into a tornado, sweeping out of the city.
Chen Hanhai produced another trident made of seawater, looking at the figure slowly emerging beside Du Busi and saying,
"And who are you?"
"You were able to block this attack, so you deserve to be remembered."
The old man laughed heartily, his short, gray-white hair neatly combed.
"Me?"
"According to the rules of Douluo Continent, I should indeed introduce myself. I am Kong Deming, a ninth-level Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire."
This caused Du Busi to turn sharply to look at Kong Deming. He hadn't expected the person who saved his life to be a ninth-level Soul Master from an enemy nation.
Seeing Du Busi's confusion, Kong Deming put his hands behind his back and said,
"Heh, compared to the Three Kingdoms of Douluo, I hate the people of the sea even more."
"We'll settle our grudges after we send them back to the sea."
The Sun Moon Empire had a vast coastline, and sea soul masters frequently raided it. The residents of coastal cities all loathed these sea pirates.
A glint flashed in Du Busi's eyes, and he laughed loudly,
"Good!"
"We'll settle our scores after we drive these salted fish of the sea back!"
Rewinding to half an hour earlier, Kong Deming and his group arrived in Xingluo City a little later than Du Busi and his companions due to the distance.
They were also somewhat bewildered by the chaotic scene.
Kong Deming, accompanied by three level-nine soul masters, found the leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and learned the general outline of the situation from them.
The leader of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Elder Ma, was an level-eight soul master and possessed a level-nine soul tool given to him by Jing Hongchen, more than capable of protecting the team members.
However, he was unsure whether to help the Xingluo Empire, as it was also an enemy of the Sun Moon Empire.
Kong Deming was in a similar predicament; he didn't know whether he should help the Xingluo Empire.
Subjectively, he wanted to help the Xingluo Empire because it was obvious to everyone that these sea heretics were far more detestable than the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
The Sun Moon Empire had dealt with them for a long time and knew very well how Sea Soul Masters behaved.
They were notorious for their burning, killing, looting, and debauchery, to the point that every coastal city of the Sun Moon Empire had a Soul Master Corps stationed there, precisely to guard against these sea barbarians.
To put it bluntly, even if the Douluo Three Kingdoms were to destroy the Sun Moon Empire one day, its culture, race, and even its royal family would continue to exist.
These sea creatures were truly ruthless.
Kong Deming had no choice but to report to the royal family to see how the emperor and ministers would judge the situation.
Of course, if the situation became critical, he would also anonymously help the Star Luo royal family.
Anyway, no one would dare say anything after he returned, as he was, after all, a pillar of the Sun Moon Empire.
Fortunately, the court responded incredibly quickly this time. It was said that the Sun Moon Empire's new Prime Minister, Otto Apocalypse, overruled objections and persuaded Crown Prince Xu Tianran and various ministers to let Kong Deming deal with the Sea Soul Masters first.
The reason given was that the Sea Soul Masters were true heretics.
Kong Deming had long heard of Otto, though the two had never even met, yet they had clashed multiple times in the court.
Otto had consistently sought to split Mingde Hall and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, a stance Kong Deming had consistently refused.
The two were practically irreconcilable enemies.
However, Otto was highly regarded by Xu Tianran, who, taking advantage of the former prime minister's resignation, had made him prime minister.
Various ministers felt this was inappropriate, but Xu Tianran ignored them.
With the old emperor seriously ill, Xu Tianran, who had inexplicably regained the ability to walk upright, gradually assumed power.
Now a normal person without the final obstacle, Xu Tianran was full of vigor and displayed the makings of a powerful figure.
Knowing that this prince was destined for the throne, ministers began to flock to him.
Seeing this, Kong Deming could only sigh.
The division of Mingde Hall was only a matter of time; he couldn't protect it forever.
He also worried that powerful ministers like Otto would wreak havoc on the court, but now it seemed Otto possessed foresight.
The other party could see who the real enemy was, showing considerable foresight.
His becoming prime minister might not be a bad thing for the Sun Moon Empire.
Returning to the present,
outside Star Luo City, Kong Deming, together with Du Busi, began a fierce battle with Chen Hanhai.
For a moment, the entire Star Luo City thought it was the end of the world; the sky seemed to crack open, and heroes from all walks of life gathered for this grand event.
Powerful figures, rarely seen before, were now clashing in droves.
However, it seemed there were still hidden experts within Star Luo City, constantly protecting the civilians.
Roman was exhausted, concentrating intently on operating the alchemy array to withstand the aftershocks of the battle.
"Your Excellency, what is the situation outside?"
Deep underground in a shelter within Star Luo City, Xu Jiawei felt the ground trembling and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This shelter was originally built to protect against attacks from the Sun Moon Empire's level-nine fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells, but today it had unexpectedly come in handy.
The Healer Douluo closed the magic network and withdrew his spiritual power, saying,
"Your Majesty."
"Shrek Academy, the experts from the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Empire have made their move."
"Poison Immortal and a level nine Soul Master have joined forces against the Sea God Douluo."
"Three more level nine Soul Masters and five Body Sect Title Douluos have joined the battle."
"In terms of high-end combat power, we are now on par with the Sea God family."
"Even slightly ahead; the Body Sect's Title Douluos are comparable to Super Douluos in the short term."
Xu Jiawei shook his head and said,
"On par?"
"It's not that easy."
"The Sea God Douluo is too strong. If we don't deal with him, our defeat is only a matter of time." "
Has the Beast God Di Tian been contacted?"
The Healer Douluo nodded and said,
"The Beast God is already observing the situation inside Star Luo City."
"If he really can't hold on, he will kill the Sea God Douluo."
Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"That's good." "
Even if the Sea God Douluo is strong, he shouldn't be stronger than Di Tian."
"This time, my Star Luo Empire won't be directly defeated by the Sea God Family."
On the outer battlefield of Star Luo City, Kong Deming controlled the Level 9 Disintegration Cannon, firing wildly.
Countless fixed-position soul-guided shells rained down on the Sea God Douluo.
Chen Hanhai didn't dare to directly confront the Level 9 Disintegration Cannon, constantly dodging.
Poisonous Undying, holding the Level 9 flying soul-guided device given to him by Kong Deming, pressed down on Chen Hanhai's dodging space at an extremely fast speed.
This annoyed Chen Hanhai. He couldn't use his strength.
He wanted to release a soul skill to attack Kong Deming, but was interrupted by Poisonous Undying.
He wanted to attack Poisonous Undying, but was focused by the soul-guided cannons.
He also had to find a way to dodge those damned white rays.
Just one level 98 and the other level 94, and they were actually locked in a stalemate with him.
"Roar!!!"
A loud dragon roar rang out from afar, and endless black clouds gradually pressed in, the terrifying dragon's might enveloping the earth.
Sensing this overwhelming power, Poseidon Douluo's lips twitched.
He sensed the aura of a Limit Douluo, and not only that, but it also contained the aura of a level 98 Super Douluo.
A majestic dragon head emerged from the dark clouds, its black, thousand-meter-long body proclaiming the newcomer's strength and identity—Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.
Countless earthen-yellow meteors rained down in the distance, shattering the earth, revealing a creature with the body of a goat, tiger teeth, human claws, and enormous bull horns.
The Shrek Academy reinforcements also arrived on the battlefield. The four of them stood on opposite sides, exchanging glances, preparing to jointly besiege Poseidon Douluo.
