Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 617 The Tenth Soul Ring of the Eternal Phoenix Feather

Chen Hanyu said, "We used to clamor for an expedition to the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, which scared Dai Lingxun and Xue Chaoyang into living in constant fear."

"With the Federation currently in turmoil, it's natural for them to want to support a regime that's close to them. Providing support to the Tang Clan and Shrek Academy is only reasonable."

"Sister Xue, what should we do now?" Ya Li asked.

Qian Renxue said, "We don't know where they will launch their attack yet, so for now we can only prepare for battle."

Although the free federation of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect received a lot of support, in terms of area, Qian Renxue's Southern Federation is still larger.

However, being large has its own difficulties; an excessively vast area is naturally extremely difficult to defend.

Now everyone knows that a civil war is inevitable, so they refer to the two regimes as the Southern Federation and the Golden Crocodile Free Federation.

"What about the Spirit Pagoda? Is there still no news?" Qian Renxue asked.

Yali said, "Qian Gu Die Ting said they are willing to provide material support, but do not want to participate in the war themselves."

"Damn it! Even if it means our annihilation, you still want to fight me internally?" Qian Renxue slammed her fist on the table and roared.

Although the Spirit Pagoda lost three quasi-gods in succession, it is still the strongest force on the entire Douluo Star besides the Holy Spirit Cult.

The choice of the Spirit Pagoda will largely determine the outcome of this war. Therefore, both Qian Renxue and Shrek Academy are now trying to win over the Spirit Pagoda to their side, or at least keep it neutral.

Now, due to the disappearance of Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na, the Qian Gu family's power has suffered a huge loss, and the Spirit Pagoda is in great chaos.

Even if many forces cannot replace the ancient family, they still want to further expand their power reach.

...

The Land of the Dead.

In the desolate and silent world of the dead, the strange sight of two suns in the sky still lingers, but unlike before, the second silver sun has shrunk considerably.

At this moment, Qian Gu Huang Yu was meditating, suspended above the silver sun, her long golden hair moving without wind.

Behind her, nine spirit rings lit up rhythmically in turn.

However, what is most eye-catching is the illusory tenth ring behind the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather, which stands above the nine spirit rings!
There is a saying that one can become a god at level 100 as early as tens of thousands of years ago, and the symbol of level 100 is the tenth soul ring representing a god!
Even though the tenth soul ring of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather is still very illusory, it is still the tenth soul ring!
It is the process of humans evolving into gods!
...

Within three days of Long Yeyue's statement that "the Southern Legion has no soldiers left to fight," the Free Federation launched a surprise attack on the Southern Federation.

With the cooperation of the Tang Clan, the Central Army and the Temple of War unleashed unimaginable fighting power, shouting that they would fight their way back to Mingdu.

Upon learning of the sneak attack, Qian Renxue immediately mobilized troops to the front lines, and the civil war of the Sun and Moon Federation officially began.

The flames of war quickly spread throughout the entire Federation. The Sun and Moon Federation, the most powerful nation in human history, turned its weapons against its own people.

In just six months, 100 million people died.

But amidst the crucible of war, the new generation is also growing rapidly, and Yunming successfully breaks through to become a quasi-god under the pressure of war.

While tirelessly saving lives on the front lines, Ya Li also successfully broke through to level 98 Super Douluo by absorbing the power of faith gained from treating the wounded…

Six months later, in the enemy-occupied territory of the Star Luo Empire, at the Holy Spirit Palace.

Nearly three months after the disappearance of Mortis, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Ghost Emperor finally took over the power of acting leader.

The crimson sunset dyed the main hall dark red, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, rustling in the eerie wind.

The hall, forged from black iron, was filled with evil spirit masters clad in long black robes, each emanating an aura that was either eerie or dark.

The Ghost Emperor stood on an altar made of bones. Behind him stood the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Demon Emperor; the leader of the Gestapo, the Underworld Emperor Halosa; and the leader of the Evil Soul Masters of the Fighting Spirit Empire, the Blood Emperor Ye Lingshang.

The Ghost Emperor's gaze swept over the group of evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Cult, and he said loudly, "My compatriots, I think you have all heard, more or less, that the Sun and Moon Federation has split apart."

"It split into the Free Federation, led by Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, and the Southern Federation, led by the Southern Army."

"In just six months of war, more than 100 million people have died. Souls, corpses, bones, resentment... just think about it, what delicious food that is!"

"I dare say that the most glorious period is just around the corner. We have been suppressed by them for too long. Why should they be the rightful rulers of the world, and we are not?"

"Heaven has endowed us with greater power, and this world should be under our control. It is time for us to seek land under the sun!"

"May the glory of the Holy Emperor shine upon the world!"

"My compatriots, since we came to the continents of Xingluo and Douling, we have won hundreds of battles."

"We captured a total of thirty-three soul bones and two hundred and seventy-eight ten-thousand-year soul spirits, conquered several fortresses, and subjugated two provinces of the Star Luo Empire."

"You captured more than 5,000 prisoners and killed more than 30,000 enemies, but you have almost nothing, whether it's food or clothing."

"But there is no difficulty that you cannot overcome. Even without fixed soul-guided shells, you can still win battles."

"Even without bridges, you can cross rivers; even without flying soul tools, you can march at top speed."

"When you are encamped, you not only have no red wine, but sometimes you don't even have bread. In this world, only the warriors of the Holy Emperor, only the soul masters who live for themselves, can endure the hardships you have experienced."

"But my fellow countrymen, this is only the beginning compared to a greater cause, and the Church expects you to achieve even greater glory."

"The Holy Church believes that you will not fail its trust. Many battles await you before you."

"There are still many cities waiting for you to conquer, and many enemies waiting for you to slay."

"I believe that with your unwavering loyalty to the Holy Church, you will surely continue to carry forward the glory of the Evil Soul Masters."

"We will surely force our enemies to submit to us. In the not-too-distant future, when you return in triumph and face your relatives and friends, you can proudly say, 'I have conquered the most powerful empire in human history!'"

"Let the Holy Church be great again!"

"Let the Holy Church be great again!"

"Let the Holy Church be great again!"

After the Ghost Emperor's speech, the evil spirit masters present roared like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

This also signifies that the Holy Spirit Cult, the behemoth that became the strongest force on the continent under the rule of Qian Gu Huang Yu, has finally revealed its fangs.

...

Shrek City, Seagod's Lodge.

"What? The Holy Spirit Cult has also made a move?" Long Yeyue asked in surprise, looking at the elder of the Sea God Pavilion in front of her.

Let the professionals handle the professional tasks. The Free Federation's army was entrusted to Chen Xinjie's command, Yun Ming, who had already broken through to the quasi-god level, served as the army's supervisor, while Long Ye, the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, remained in the rear to coordinate operations. Therefore, when Long Yeyue learned that the Holy Spirit Cult had appeared at the front lines, she was extremely surprised.

Old Zhang said with embarrassment, "The evil soul master army led by the Ghost Emperor attacked our coastal city. The entire Nanxi Port was slaughtered, and there were no survivors."

"After attacking us, the Ghost Emperor did not stay, but left directly. They are now wandering around our territory like ghosts."

"Those rats from the gutter actually dare to come out again? Have they forgotten how they failed last time?" Long Yeyue said coldly after hearing this.

"No matter how chaotic the Federation is, it's not something a group of evil soul masters can touch."

Indeed, this is true. Looking at the entire history of Douluo Continent, only the Sun Moon Empire during Xu Tianran's time cooperated with evil soul masters. At other times, evil soul masters were like rats in the street.

Zang Xin asked, "Where are they now?"

Because Chen Yi's identity was not suitable for taking charge of the overall situation, the Free Federation's task for her was simply to stabilize the Spirit Pagoda and prevent it from siding with the Southern Federation.

Currently, the Tang Sect is led by Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin, both to assist Long Yeyue in weightlifting and coordination, and to provide support at any time while concealing their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Old Zhang said, "I don't know. The evil soul masters that the Ghost Emperor brought this time are all elites. They are not only powerful but also highly mobile."

"We'll fire a shot and then move on to another location. Marshal Chen and Pavilion Master Yun, who are capable of confronting them, are both on the front lines. It's very difficult for us to capture them with the support from the rear."

As the former deputy hall master of the Temple of War and the person with the highest military rank before the civil war, Chen Xinjie naturally became the marshal of the Free Federation, in charge of all military affairs.

After breaking through to the Quasi-God realm, Yun Ming naturally became the Vice Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. In fact, if it weren't for the need to avoid instability caused by changing commanders during wartime, and given Yun Ming's young age, he would probably have already officially become the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion.

"I'll go and see for myself," Long Yeyue said.

"Uncle-Master, don't be anxious!" Zang Xin quickly advised, "Uncle-Master, Shrek Academy still needs you to oversee things. If you leave, and the Spirit Pagoda suddenly attacks, we will have no way to resist."

"Moreover, none of us know how many Limit Douluos the Holy Spirit Cult has sent this time. If we attack rashly, we may be in danger."

Long Yeyue originally didn't want to make a move. The Holy Spirit Cult currently has a total of six Limit Douluo, four of whom are quasi-gods.

Long Yeyue was only a demigod, and if she were surrounded, she would be in grave danger. However, as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, she had no choice but to speak up. Now that Zang Xin was offering her a way out, she naturally accepted the offer.

Zang Xin said, "Let's contact the Southern Federation first. The Angel Family is the nemesis of evil soul masters."

"It would be best if they were willing to help."

...

Bai Xi City, the front line of war.

The war lasted for more than half a year, and the Free Federation went from its initial unstoppable advance to a stalemate.

Before the war, apart from the Central Legion suffering some heavy losses, the Poseidon Legion and the East Navy Legion had only lost their top commanders, and most of their combat strength had been preserved.

In addition, there was the Tang Sect's Soul Guidance Force, and the numerous Soul Master sects that Shrek Academy attracted with its own appeal.

In addition, the Free Federation can also obtain a continuous supply of resources from the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire through the Tang Sect.

Moreover, the Central Legion and the Poseidon Legion, once favorites of the Council, possessed weaponry far superior to that of the Southern Legion, which had been abandoned.

Not to mention that Tang Sect's soul guidance technology is even more advanced than that of the entire Federation in some aspects.

Therefore, in terms of the quantity and quality of the army, as well as supplies and weapons, the Free Federation was far ahead of the Southern Federation.

Because the Spirit Pagoda took the lead in maintaining neutrality, the other four legions among the Federation's eight major legions refused to participate in the war under various pretexts.

Therefore, Qian Renxue was essentially using a Southern Legion to take on half of the Federation single-handedly.

The reason why the Free Federation has not yet achieved victory is that they have encountered an insurmountable peak.

A thousand feet of snow.

With Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na missing, and Di Tian disheartened and withdrawn from worldly affairs, Qian Ren Xue is now the strongest being in the world.

Even Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie, who have reached the level of quasi-gods, are no match for Qian Renxue in a one-on-one fight.

Therefore, Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie, two of the strongest combatants, were both tied down on the front line in the direction of Mingdu by Qian Renxue.

Meanwhile, the Southern Legion, which serves as the main base, is guarded by Le Jingchen, a quasi-god. Although the Southern Legion's current combat strength is no match for the Free Federation, Le Jingchen can barely stabilize the front line because there is a lack of equally powerful individuals to counter them.

...

"Enemy attack! Take cover!"

"Enemy attack! Take cover!"

As air raid sirens sounded over Baixi City, the sound of fixed-mount soul-guided shells piercing the air also filled the air.

Unlike the Southern Federation, whose industrial system was underdeveloped and whose weapons and ammunition were running out, the Free Federation, backed by the Tang Clan, had a near-inexhaustible supply of weapons and ammunition when operating at full capacity.

Just then, several golden beams of light shot into the sky, their backs adorned with pure white wings—they were none other than the Angel Soul Masters.

The Angel Legion's Soul Masters unleashed their Soul Skills, dazzling displays of which shot down the incoming fixed-position Soul Guidance Cannonballs.

Over time, this is how the Southern Legion has been resisting attacks from the Free Federation.

After a few breaks, the angel soul masters were already exhausted. Just then, two beams of light, one blue and one silver, flew in at lightning speed!
It was none other than the Vast Ocean Douluo Chen Xinjie and the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming!

Despite the two quasi-gods attacking them, the angelic soul masters showed no sign of worry, for they knew that someone would come to their protection.

The next instant, a golden beam of light shot into the sky from Bai Xi City's military camp, and a beautiful figure in golden armor stood in front of Chen Xinjie and Yun Ming. It was Qian Renxue.

After neutralizing the attacks from Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie, the Angel Soul Master knew without Qian Renxue's instruction that this was not something she could get involved in, and quickly left.

"Le Qianxue, using Soul Masters to block Soul Guidance Cannonballs, how much equipment does your Southern Legion still have? Admitting defeat as soon as possible is the best course of action," Chen Xinjie said calmly.

Normally, when facing attacks from soul-guided cannons, the same principle applies: use soul-guided cannons to defend. The Southern Federation's use of soul masters for defense is naturally due to their insufficient reserves of soul-guided cannons.

Qian Renxue said coldly, "The key to victory in this war has never been resources or weapons, but rather the choice between us."

"If I can kill both of you here, the Free Federation will surrender in no time."

Yun Ming smiled faintly, "Don't be too confident. Although none of us can beat you in a one-on-one fight."

"But with us working together, it's already extremely difficult for you to remain undefeated, let alone kill us."

"Then let's give it a try!" With that, Qian Renxue suddenly rushed towards Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie!
