At a distance from the city, a Soul Douluo respectfully said to Wind Douluo beside him, "Lord Wind Douluo, the enemy has obviously spotted us, but they have not chosen to retreat!"
Wind Douluo sneered, "Oh? They want to die that badly? They don't even have the high-end combat power they always rely on, and they still delude themselves into resisting! Fools!"
Hearing this, the Soul Douluo flattered, "Indeed, and with Lord Wind Douluo leading us personally, they stand no chance of victory!"
Wind Douluo gave him a cold look and said, "Don't spout this nonsense to me. Notify everyone immediately to charge their soul tools. Once we see the city's silhouette, use the range to bombard it with all we've got! Those fools won't even be able to touch us before they turn to ash!"
He would definitely not allow the enemy to use that peculiar Ninth-grade Soul Guidance Device again!
As long as they managed the distance well, there was no possibility of failure!
Feeling a chill after seeing his cold gaze, the Soul Douluo hastily said, "Yes! Lord Wind Douluo."
Immediately, the former turned and shouted to the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Masters, who had already taken out their High-grade Soul Guidance Devices, "Everyone, charge your devices now! Lord Wind Douluo has ordered that upon sighting the city, bombard it fiercely!"
"Understood!!!"
Robust voices rose from every Sun-Moon Empire Soul Master's mouth...
...
Meanwhile, the Xingluo Empire was facing the same situation!
Atop the city walls, the leading Title Douluo stared intently at the imposing approach of the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troop...
Merely the sight of that morale made them cower in fear, not to mention the High-grade Soul Guidance Devices revealed by those Sun-Moon Empire Soul Masters...
Soul Masters with slightly higher soul power rank by his side all had grim expressions, "Damn it! We have no power to resist!!"
"There must be tens of thousands of them, right? And with so many High-grade Soul Guidance Devices, we will barely last half an hour against them!!"
"Yeah! If we're like this, the Sky Soul Empire must have already been crushed by now, right? They're in an even worse state!"
"Lord Green Rhino Douluo, give us the order to retreat."
"Right, let's give up resistance. We can't stop their advance; continuing this way will only make us cannon fodder!"
After observing the fearful expressions of the Soul Masters around him and then glancing at the dense Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Masters swarming forward, the Title Douluo sighed helplessly, "Ah... We surrender..."
If it were only him, he would never choose to surrender!
But that was only what he wanted, and he did not wish to drag the younger Soul Masters around him to their deaths!
The only option left was to surrender...
Xingluo Empire and Sky Soul Empire... were already gone!
Opposite them, standing at the very front of the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Master Troop, Blazing Sun Douluo swept his gaze over the Soul Masters on the city walls...
Infused with soul power, he loudly called out to the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Master Troop, "Soul Masters of Xingluo Empire, you have no chance of victory now! Surrender willingly and you may be spared from death!!"
Attempting to recruit them was also one of Juzi's orders; after all, the Sun-Moon Empire's future unification would still require these fundamental Soul Masters...
She desired not only to unify the entire continent but also to steer it towards a better direction!
In an instant, the Soul Masters of Xingluo Empire atop the city walls all looked expectantly at the leading Title Douluo...
Their hearts were no longer in the fight, and to engage would mean becoming lost souls beneath the high-grade Soul Guidance Devices...
The Title Douluo gritted his teeth and shouted, "I agree to surrender for them, but, you must ensure that you spare them a path to life!"
Seeing the enemy actually surrendering, surprise flickered in Blazing Sun Douluo's eyes, and he replied coldly, "I promise you! A Blazing Sun Douluo always keeps his word!"
Seeing Blazing Sun Douluo's agreement, the Soul Masters of Xingluo Empire all breathed a sigh of relief, and the Title Douluo managed a relieved smile...
Immediately, his expression transformed drastically, and he said with grave seriousness, "Very well, then as a Titled Douluo of the Xingluo Empire! I! will not surrender!!"
No sooner had he spoken than he burst out with terrifying Soul Power, immediately releasing his Martial Soul, a colossal lion shadow appeared behind him, and nine dazzling Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet…
The Soul Masters of the Xingluo Empire around him, upon hearing these words, couldn't help but tear up slightly, as they pleaded with him, "Titled Douluo, sir! What are you doing??"
"They've already agreed, why do you still want to do this?"
"Going up there is tantamount to seeking your own death!!"
The Titled Douluo did not respond verbally, but his resolute eyes said it all…
He then charged at Blazing Sun Douluo with extreme speed…
Watching the incoming Titled Douluo, the Soul Masters of the Sun-Moon Empire all aimed their soul tools at him…
However, Blazing Sun Douluo raised his palm to stop them…
He spoke solemnly, "He's a real man; none of you are to interfere without permission."
Upon hearing this, the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Masters were stunned for a few seconds before they all put away their soul tools…
Immediately after, one saw Blazing Sun Douluo unleash his own Martial Soul, a bow and arrow flickering with flames materialized in his hands…
Nine Soul Rings also rose from underneath his feet, and then, without any hesitation, he went forth to meet the oncoming Titled Douluo from the Xingluo Empire…
…
Beneath Sea God's Lake, Sea God's Island!
There, still trapped in the wall by the power of space, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! How long until that man comes out!!"
He had been standing there foolishly for several hours, seething with frustration in his heart…
But just as he was pondering, a voice that he detested to the core reached him…
Xu Sheng expressed some surprise, "Huh? You haven't left yet?"
Huo Yuhao stared at Xu Sheng, clenching his fists "..."
Inside his mind, the Skydream Ice Silkworm promptly said, "Yuhao, keep your cool! This guy is no ordinary person!"
The Ice Emperor also spoke in a cold tone, "You must endure! Yuhao, it would not be worth it if something like this causes you trouble during your ascend to the Divine Realm!"
Huo Yuhao put on a smile uglier than crying, "Um… can you release me now?"
Xu Sheng glanced at him and withdrew the spatial power applied to him…
Only then did Huo Yuhao notice that Xu Sheng was actually holding the hand of a young girl around the age of twelve!
Even though she seemed very young, it was clear she was a beauty in the making!
He carefully inquired, "Um... who is she??"
Xu Sheng glanced at the girl holding his hand and smiled, "Her name is Poseissi, and she will become an outer courtyard student of Shrek Academy in the future."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback, "I see… that's how it is…"
Perhaps this girl lived in this place! He just needed to wait for this man to leave, and then he could come back to explore the island!
Little did he know that Xu Sheng had already seen through his thoughts and spoke indifferently, "Let's go, I'm about to seal this place up. If you would like to stay here forever, feel free to look around."
With that, he ignored Huo Yuhao and, along with Poseissi, entered the shattered space tunnel ahead…
After weighing the pros and cons, Huo Yuhao stepped into the space tunnel somewhat reluctantly…
