Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

This undead bone dragon!

The left claw deals high damage, and the right claw deals high damage.

There is no mechanism, just numbers.

Even though Dai Hao, who possessed the strength of a Title Douluo, personally took action, he was mercilessly swatted away by the Undead Bone Dragon's claw.

Not to mention the White Tiger Guards, most of whom are only at the Soul Venerable level.

The army's battle formations and coordination were completely inadequate in the face of the undead bone dragon, this war machine!
Moreover, the Undead Bone Dragon is not fighting alone; it is supported by a large-scale Soul Guidance Legion of the Sun Moon Empire.

Just like cannons hitting cavemen, before the two armies even clashed, Dai Hao's proud White Tiger Guards were utterly routed.

Dai Hao's army put up only a token resistance before the tide turned against them.

There was no time to mourn the annihilation of the White Tiger Guards. The perceptive White Tiger Steed sensed its master's thoughts and immediately fled with Dai Hao in a strategic retreat.

Covered in dust and dirt, Dai Hao lay sprawled on the galloping white tiger horse, his brow furrowed and his expression extremely grave.

I thought I could handle things calmly and with ease.

The result was a hurried and chaotic affair, with everyone stumbling and crawling.

He began to doubt his life, feeling as if he had been tricked by some Star Luo Emperor.

Dai Hao went to war not only because of the support of the pro-war faction in the Star Luo Empire, but also to reclaim the military power that rightfully belonged to him.

Although Dai Huabin's assassination of Shrek Academy teachers and his subsequent fall into the throes of evil spirits led Shrek Academy to launch an attack, Dai Hao's position was suppressed and his power in the army was usurped.

But even a centipede, though dead, does not fall down.

The White Tiger Duke's mansion isn't even dead yet; it's just that its military power has been symbolically stripped away.

For thousands of years, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion has been instrumental in protecting the nation.

Dai Hao continued the tradition, fighting on the battlefield for many years, keeping the Sun and Moon Army outside the Mingdou Mountains, making great contributions, and his prestige in the army once reached its peak.

He himself grew up with Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo, and they can be considered close friends and brothers!
Even if Xu Jiawei really goes to any lengths to win over Shrek Academy, he cannot take action against Dai Hao, otherwise it will definitely cause domestic turmoil, leading to internal strife and division.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire is eager to make a move, and war is always on the verge of breaking out.

So what if one's status plummets?

Dai Hao believes this is only temporary.

Sure enough, the opportunity came soon.

As the army of the Sun Moon Empire invaded, none of the nobles of the Star Luo Empire were capable of fighting. Even if Xu Jiawei was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and let Dai Hao lead the army into battle.

Having fought the Sun Moon Empire for so long, Dai Hao naturally knew his old rival's capabilities.

Faced with this overwhelming enemy, it was clear that he alone could not turn the tide. Although he could not fight back, it would not be difficult to hold the last line of defense.

As long as we can hold out and wait for further developments, there is a chance to turn things around!
Surely Xu Jiawei couldn't possibly want the Star Luo Empire to perish, could he?

As for Shrek...

Even if Shrek Academy really stands on the side of the Sun Moon Empire, so what?
He has powerful connections within the White Tiger lineage!

Our ancestor Dai Mubai once ascended to godhood alongside the Sea God. With this war god protecting him, the White Tiger lineage has remained steadfast.

Therefore, Dai Hao was not worried about Shrek, and he even had the idea of ​​persuading Shrek to change his mind.

Even if it really comes to the point of no return.

They would fight to the very last moment, even to the point of committing suicide!

This is the fighting spirit of their White Tiger lineage!

However, Dai Hao never imagined that before he could even enjoy his military power, his fortunes would turn against him.

The soul tools and battle armor used by the opponent in the battle were several versions ahead of the Star Luo army!

Can't beat it!
It can't be beaten at all!
In his escape, Dai Hao finally figured it out.

The information is wrong!

I was definitely set up by Xu Jiawei!
"Damn it, Xu Jiawei is a complete scoundrel!"

A shadowy glint flashed in Dai Hao's eyes, and he subconsciously clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

"Why!?"

Why would such extraordinary combat power appear here? What happened to the rule that Title Douluo don't interfere in secular wars?
hateful!

How dare they defy the rules set by the Sea God! They truly deserve to die!

Dai Hao was furious, completely forgetting that he had also brought Xuanji Douluo and the others into the war, only to have them all wiped out in one fell swoop.

Only Dai Hao, seeing that things were not going well, shielded his teammates in front of him and became a deserter.

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If I die, the Star Luo Empire will not fare much better. It will only be swallowed up by the Sun Moon Empire!"

What kind of military order?

What about regaining military power?

All of Dai Hao's previous ambitions were forgotten; now all he wanted was to survive.

The gap was too large, almost to the point of crushing defeat, and he didn't want to die in vain.

Thinking of this, Dai Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something, and his face suddenly turned cold.

Could it be that Xu Jiawei, that old fox, had long wanted to surrender, and that I was Xu Jiawei's way of showing his sincerity to the Sun Moon Empire?

Otherwise, even if the Star Luo Empire was weak, it would not have been able to suffer such a crushing defeat.

He himself suffered from a lack of intelligence; otherwise, how could a battle-hardened man have fled in such a sorry state?
The previously tense body immediately relaxed.

Dai Hao is not an indecisive person. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he has always been decisive and efficient in his actions.

So be it, surrender.

If you can't beat them, join them; there's no shame in that.

All we need to do is let the Star Luo Emperor initiate it first.

He will endure humiliation and hardship, and proceed slowly and methodically.

Just as Dai Hao was pondering how to confront Xu Jiawei, he rode his white tiger steed back to Xingluo City.

Star Luo Palace.

Seeing Dai Hao striding towards him with a chilling aura, Xu Jiawei smiled with relief.

As expected, the wheels of history roll on relentlessly.

Soul tools have changed the world!

At this moment, Xu Jiawei put down his unrealistic ambitions and shattered his last shred of wishful thinking.

We should look forward. Although the Star Luo Empire is gone, it may not necessarily be a bad thing.

Putting everything else aside, there's still Jiu Jiu around. With her relationship with Huo Yuhao, the future is bright.

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, who had just returned, looked at Xu Jiawei with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why is Your Majesty laughing?"

Xu Jiawei didn't answer, and went straight to the point: "But did my brother bring news of victory to the empire?"

Could it be that……

Won?

He truly lives up to his title as the White Tiger War God.

You can tell whether someone is good or bad just by looking at them.

Some die-hard loyalists of the Star Luo Empire were immediately overjoyed, already immersed in the joy of victory.

Some people also realized the tense atmosphere at the scene, and they all lowered their heads, keeping their eyes down and not daring to utter a sound.

Dai Hao knelt on one knee, clasped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I have failed to live up to your trust. Even at the cost of the entire White Tiger Legion, we were unable to stop the Sun Moon Army. The Title Douluo who accompanied me stayed behind to cover the retreat, and their fates are unknown. Only I have retreated from the battlefield..."

As Dai Hao reported in detail, the entire hall fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

What a resounding and exhilarating defeat!
It's over, it's over.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the pro-war faction was plunged into despair, and some of the more psychologically fragile ones even fainted.

The remaining ministers looked at each other, and finally all turned to look at Xu Jiawei.

Since even Duke White Tiger has lost, it seems there's no point in resisting anymore...

Or should we just submit it?
But no one dared to be the first to take the blame.

That sound is still too shrill.

Only Xu Jiawei's right hand tapped on the throne, the clanging sound echoing continuously throughout the palace.

As the ruler of a nation, Xu Jiawei has devoted almost his entire life to developing the Star Luo Empire. He has always been diligent and hardworking, and even though he is over forty years old, he does not have any children.

However, it now seems to be an advantage. Precisely because he has no descendants, Xu Jiawei feels no burden whatsoever regarding relinquishing the throne.

Of course, he couldn't do that on the surface; he still needed to save face.

And this requires someone's cooperation.

This can be considered a show of force.

The tense atmosphere was quickly broken.

A messenger brought urgent news: the evil Sun and Moon Army has arrived at Star Luo City and is besieging the city!
Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do.

The space in front of the palace suddenly collapsed without warning.

A blurry figure slowly emerged from it.

The oppressive aura of the Limit Douluo emanated from the area.

Nine blood-red, 100,000-year-old soul rings pulsed around him.

One man, the ruler of a nation!
Time and space seemed to freeze completely at this moment.

The space within a hundred meters seemed to have been peeled away.

“Huo Yuhao!?”

Looking at the golden-level, second-awakened spirit eye figure behind this person, and at this strange soul skill, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.

Even though they had long known that Huo Yuhao's strength was unprecedented, experiencing it firsthand now was a completely different feeling.

Those whose strength did not reach the level of a Title Douluo, whose temperament was not strong, and who were not given special care by Huo Yuhao.

I only have one thought: to bow down in reverence!
There is great terror between life and death!
Even Xu Jiawei, who already knew some of Huo Yuhao's strength beforehand, was stunned.

This must be the cultivation level of a Limit Douluo!
No, how come Yuhao's strength has improved so quickly?
How much time has passed?!
Xu Jiujiu smiled to herself, thinking: This is nothing. If you knew that what's coming here is just a mental clone of Yuhao, you'd be shocked.

"To fight or to surrender?"

Huo Yuhao's mental clone spoke, restraining its aura and not making things too difficult for the others.

His gaze swept over the ministers, and not one of them dared to meet his eyes.

"I'll give you an hour to decide."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Time resumes its flow.

The crowd remained stunned, unable to forget the incident for a long time.

Shock, surprise, even excitement!
Because His Majesty the Supreme Emperor has arrived at his loyal Star City!

soon.

An elderly prime minister stepped forward, knelt down, and earnestly said, "Your Majesty, the situation is hopeless, and our army is no longer able to fight. Why not follow the example of the Heavenly Soul Empire and offer Star Luo City to the sun and moon?"

That's right, the Heavenly Soul Empire has surrendered.

With Poison Immortal personally acting as an intermediary, appealing to emotions and reasoning with the emperor, Heavenly Soul Emperor naturally compromised and abdicated.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call Dai Hao's previous expedition the last struggle of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The pro-war nobles had all done a great deal of work, and they were still willing to give Dai Hao, the former military genius of the empire, some trust, since Dai Hao had previously kept the Sun Moon Army out.

This move might just be the turning point!
What the pro-war faction didn't know was that the troops they sent out had already been arranged, and only a handful actually ended up under Dai Hao's command, not even enough to form a thousand-strong soul master legion.

As for the Soul Master Corps, there simply wasn't one.

This was naturally enough to shatter the Sun Moon Federation's army of thousands of Soul Master Corps members with a single touch.

After someone started speaking, the remaining ministers offered their suggestions one after another.

The core idea is simple: surrender!

Even the radicals from before have come to their senses; after all, Huo Yuhao is now the Emperor of the Sun and Moon.

If Huo Yuhao were to ascend to the position of ruler of the continent, he would truly be deserving of it.

No one questioned it.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
At this moment, Dai Hao also felt a pang of sympathy, secretly thinking that it was fortunate he had run fast, otherwise he would have died without knowing why.

He was even more relieved that he hadn't been stubborn enough to use his ancestors' name to fight against Shrek.

In Dai Hao's opinion, Huo Yuhao, the Sea God Pavilion Master, is probably even stronger than Dragon God Douluo Mu En.

The reason why the other party can cultivate at such a fast speed is...

And then there's this incredible soul ring.

Without a doubt, they must have received the inheritance of the gods!

Not to be offended.

Of course, what Dai Hao didn't know was that it was too early to be grateful that he had escaped with his life, because Huo Yuhao still had a score to settle at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Finally, Xu Jiawei spoke, his face solemn, his authoritative voice ringing in everyone's ears:

"Things have come to this point, and perhaps it is time for the three great empires to come to an end. I have decided to offer Star Luo City to Pavilion Master Huo Yuhao, and the Star Luo Empire will be incorporated into the territory of the Spirit Pagoda."

"At the same time, after surrendering the city, I will abdicate on my own initiative."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

On second thought, losing to the Spirit Pagoda isn't shameful.

It's worth noting that Sun and Moon was the first Spirit Pagoda to be subdued; let's not even mention the second one.

"Your Majesty is wise!"
It's time to end this game of pretend.

Huo Yuhao now possesses the strength and influence to flatten the Douluo Continent.

Surrender is the greatest act of mercy.

As for what to do next...

Uh... It is said that this Pavilion Master Huo proposed the system of the Douluo Federation, and the Spirit Pagoda has always been fair and just.

Perhaps there will be opportunities in the future.

The aristocracy's insistence?
With a knife to his throat and the emperor already decided to abdicate, what's the point of persisting?

Either die or live.

Naturally, everyone chose the latter.

Some intelligent people also realized that the real diehards either died in the war or were purged for some other reason.

It's terrifying to think carefully.

The only thing left seems to be the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Then, recalling the military pledge Dai Hao made before setting off, the group of people, who had been exchanging glances, seemed to realize something.

But no one chose to remind Dai Hao.

Instead, they avoid it like the plague.

We're not even that close! Don't let the blood splatter on me!

In this strange atmosphere, Dai Hao returned to the White Tiger Duke's mansion, where the Duchess was already waiting anxiously.

"Brother Hao, you're back? How did it go?"

"Madam's health is of utmost importance, there's no need to worry."

Seeing the Duchess looking frightened, Dai Hao hugged her and gave her a brief explanation.

"Ahhhh!"

"This, this is impossible, that little brat... that guy, he actually..."

The Duchess's face was very ugly. Dai Hao didn't know Huo Yuhao's identity, so how could she not know?
They just haven't been willing to admit it.

"What?!"

Dai Hao sneered, "I'm warning you, don't even think about it anymore. Don't mess with Shrek Academy for your son who's fallen into the clutches of an evil spirit master. Especially Huo Yuhao, we can't afford to offend him!!"

He had noticed before that his wife seemed to care about Huo Yuhao inexplicably, and there was a strange hostility between them.

Don't know why.

"what--"

Upon hearing this, the Duchess, who was in Dai Hao's arms, was so angry that she coughed up blood and fainted.

Dai Hao: ?
What's wrong with this woman now? (End of Chapter)
