Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 625 My Country and My Country (4.8k)

Faced with Qian Renxue's sudden attack, Yun Ming simply thrust out the Sky-Piercing Spear steadily.

But this seemingly simple thrust was incredibly dangerous. The silver light on the spear tip was soul power compressed to the extreme. Everyone present believed that the result of this thrust would be earth-shattering.

A magnificent golden longsword instantly appeared in Qian Renxue's hand. It was not her soul skill, the Burning Heaven Holy Divine Sword, but her treasure as Saber, the Angel Holy Sword!

When Qian Renxue first arrived, Qian Gu Huang Yu was worried that someone would covet her Angelic Holy Sword, so he prevented her from using it.

However, now that Qian Renxue's cultivation has reached the level of a quasi-god, she is the strongest being in the world, and naturally she can use the Angelic Holy Sword openly and legitimately.

The Angelic Holy Sword, gleaming with golden light, easily blocked the Sky-Piercing Spear.

Even if Yun Ming is strong, the Sky-Piercing Spear is just a martial spirit, while the Angelic Holy Sword is a genuine divine weapon!

Even among divine artifacts, the Angelic Holy Sword is second to none; it is a genuine weapon of a deity!

Having fought side by side for so long, Chen Xinjie and Yun Ming had long since developed a tacit understanding. With a wave of his hand, Chen Xinjie unleashed eighty-one extremely compressed water lines that shot towards Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue did not dodge at all, nor did she even turn around to look. A ball of golden-red true solar fire suddenly appeared beside Qian Renxue, and in an instant, it evaporated Chen Xinjie's water line.

“Her strength has increased again.” Chen Xinjie frowned slightly, then immediately changed his move, bringing his right hand together to unleash a blue wave slash towards Qian Renxue.

While dealing with Yun Ming's unpredictable Sky-Piercing Spear, Qian Renxue also controlled the True Fire of the Sun to defend against Chen Xinjie's attacks.

At their level, large-scale attacks have long lost their meaning. Their moves may seem ordinary, but they all possess unparalleled terrifying power.

The greatest complexity can be reduced to the simplest form.

...

On the other side, the battle between the armies also broke out immediately. After intercepting wave after wave of fixed-position soul-guided shells, many soul masters of the Angel Legion had consumed a lot of soul power.

Since both sides claimed to be the forces of justice, their purpose in bombarding the city was merely to deplete the other side's soul power and weapon reserves, rather than to directly kill civilians.

At this moment, the Free Federation launched its attack. Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of mechs and the Armored Warriors hidden within the steel torrent, the Southern Federation's army struggled to resist.

Just as the Free Federation's army was about to reach the Southern Federation's defenses, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out: "Vast Ocean!"

The next instant, towering waves suddenly surged outside Baixi City, deep inland. The waves, reaching a height of a thousand meters, resembled raging ancient beasts and swept towards the Free Federation's army in an instant.

Chen Hanyu, holding the gold in her hand, stood alone at the front of the battle, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind, like a goddess of the ocean.

Even though Chen Hanyu is only a Super Douluo now, with the support of her Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Shui Qingli, her strength is in no way inferior to that of a Limit Douluo.

It could even be said that once Chen Hanyu joins the battle between Qian Renxue, Yun Ming, and Chen Xinjie in the form of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Sea Queen, she will definitely help Qian Renxue achieve the final victory.

However, if Chen Hanyu leaves, the Southern Federation will inevitably be defeated in the battle below.

The Southern Federation, which was lagging behind in resources and weapons, barely managed to stabilize its front line thanks to these few super-powerful fighters.

It was not completely defeated.

"Fire attribute Soul Masters, prepare!"

This was not the first time Chen Hanyu had made a move, and the Free Federation had already prepared a countermeasure. One by one, fire-attribute soul masters rushed to the front of the army and used their soul skills.

Although individual Soul Masters were not enough to threaten the enormous waves unleashed by Chen Hanyu, their sheer numbers allowed the fire-attribute Soul Skills that filled the sky to eventually neutralize Chen Hanyu's offensive.

However, the remaining waves still disrupted the Free Federation's military formation, thwarting their chance to launch a mech swarm attack and directly breach the defenses.

Even so, the Free Federation still far surpasses the Southern Federation in the number of high-level Soul Masters.

After stabilizing their position, the Title Douluos of the Free Federation gathered in groups of five, forming 1-2-2 formations. With the help of their linked soul tools, they pooled their soul power and successfully withstood Chen Hanyu's attack.

"What a nuisance." Chen Hanyu cursed under her breath as her attack was blocked.

The linked soul tool essentially binds the soul masters together as a whole. The five titled Douluo are like five array eyes, capable of launching attacks together and resisting damage together.

While reducing flexibility, it significantly increases attack and defense capabilities.

It was precisely because of the linked soul tool that the Free Federation was able to contend with Chen Hanyu even without a super combatant to match her.

...

Even if we only consider the quality of the weapon, Qian Renxue's Angelic Holy Sword is stronger than Yun Ming's Sky-Piercing Spear. However, when it comes to elemental control, even if they are both at the highest level, Chen Xinjie is no match for Qian Renxue.

However, as the battle dragged on, Qian Renxue gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

Although Qian Renxue could defeat either Yun Ming or Chen Xinjie in a one-on-one fight, she could only barely remain undefeated when facing the two most powerful quasi-gods of this era at the same time.

Qian Renxue had considered using the Spirit Fusion Skill with Ya Li, but since she was already a Limit Douluo, using the Spirit Fusion Skill would be subject to the suppression of the plane. In particular, she was already on Tang Hao's blacklist, so she naturally wouldn't act impulsively at this time.

Providing support to Qian Renxue at any time was naturally Chen Hanyu's task. In fact, Chen Hanyu was under the most pressure throughout the entire battle.

On one hand, she had to command the battle below, preventing the Free Federation's army from breaking through the defense line; on the other hand, she needed to provide support at any time if Qian Renxue could not hold on.

"Wait, stop right now!" Just as Qian Renxue was engaged in fierce combat with Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie, a voice suddenly rang out.

The three immediately stopped fighting, only to find that Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin were rushing towards them.

"The Holy Spirit Cult is back. The Ghost Emperor is leading a group of evil soul masters in burning, killing, and looting across the Douluo Continent. Now is not the time for us to make a move." Seeing that both sides had stopped, Cao Dezhi quickly said.

Qian Renxue gave Cao Dezhi a cold look and said, "What? You were so eager to start a war with me back then, but now that evil spirit masters are roaming your territory, you want to make peace?"

“You can’t only think of the Angel Family when you can’t deal with the evil spirit masters.”

Qian Renxue's tone was extremely cold. She explained that evil spirit masters had been rampant on the continent since 20,000 years ago, which was related to the abstract policies of various empires.

This is also related to the various persecutions suffered by the Angel Clan after the destruction of the Spirit Hall.

"Does Your Majesty the Angel mean you're happy to see evil spirit masters running rampant?" Seeing Qian Renxue refuse, Yun Ming immediately began to put pressure on her.

As the undisputed next head of the Sea God Pavilion, Yun Ming naturally cannot be someone who knows nothing but cultivation.

For example, Yunming now feels that it's better to use righteousness to pressure people than to reason with them.

Chen Xinjie also said, "It has only been sixteen years since the Battle of Mingdu was instigated by the Dragon Lord. How can you let evil soul masters run rampant like this? How will you face the civilians and soldiers who died in the Battle of Mingdu in the future?"

The reason why Chen Xinjie and Yun Ming so desperately wanted Qian Renxue to participate in the attack on the evil soul masters was because the six-winged angels were the nemesis of the evil soul masters.

Once the alliance is truly established, Qian Renxue will naturally be the main attacker, confronting the evil soul masters head-on. Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie, however, will not be capable of stabbing each other in the back.

However, if Qian Renxue is injured in the battle, their subsequent battles will be much easier.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Zang Xin quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Please calm down, this isn't the time to argue..."

Qian Renxue sneered and said, "When did I say that I would let evil spirit masters roam freely? I just don't want to fight against evil spirit masters with you."

"We're fighting to the death on the front lines, do you really think I'd entrust my back to you?"

"If those clowns, including the Ghost Emperor, dare to come, I will personally end them."

"You!" Chen Xinjie shouted coldly, his brows furrowed, clearly very angry.

After a failed peace talks, both sides have temporarily ceased hostilities today.

...

Freedom Federation military camp.

"Old Cao, how's it going at the academy?" As soon as everyone sat down, Yun Ming asked Cao Dezhi about Shrek Academy's recent situation.

Having experienced the baptism of war, Cao Dezhi seemed to have matured a lot. He said, "It's relatively stable, but the attitude of the Spirit Pagoda is still ambiguous. I don't know what they want to do." "This is troublesome." Chen Xinjie said with some distress, "The Holy Spirit Cult will definitely not prioritize dealing with the Angel Family, their nemesis. If Le Qianxue refuses to help, the evil soul masters will probably only operate on our territory."

"Should we ask the Star Luo Empire for support?" Zang Xin tentatively suggested.

Chen Xinjie nodded slightly. "Although the Star Luo Empire is weak, it is rich in resources. This is why the military has always wanted to occupy the Star Luo Empire. If possible, it would be best to obtain their support."

Yun Ming smiled and said, "Then please have His Majesty Han Hai contact his master's wife."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie's eyes lit up, secretly praising Yun Ming for his good interpersonal skills. Although the situation at the front was critical, Chen Xinjie had never given up on being with Long Yeyue.

Discussing countermeasures privately can undoubtedly bring the two sides closer to a great extent.

...

At the same time, several young people also arrived in Baixi City.

"Senior brother, it's been a long time." Qian Renxue looked at Qian Gu Dongfeng and smiled.

Since Qian Renxue is considered Qian Gu Dieting's disciple, Qian Gu Dongfeng, who is a few years older than her, is naturally considered her senior brother.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qian Gu Dong Feng got down to business: "Father is still unwilling to get involved personally, but he has loosened the restrictions on us. We can help you in our own name."

“I arrived first. Yao Zhu and Xiao Leng will arrive in a few days. Qing Feng is a master craftsman, and his identity is too sensitive, so he probably won’t be able to come.”

The main reason why Qian Gu Die Ting was unwilling to participate was that he did not want to be led by the nose by Qian Ren Xue. In particular, after seeing Qian Ren Xue fight Yun Ming and Chen Xin Jie together without being defeated, his worries deepened.

However, if he really had to choose between the Free Federation and the Southern Federation, he would naturally choose the Southern Federation.

Regardless, he was Qian Renxue's master. Qian Gu Dongfeng and the others had grown up with Qian Renxue since childhood, and they shared a bond with each other.

Therefore, after repeated requests from Qian Gu Dongfeng and others, Qian Gu Dieting finally allowed them to go and help Qian Renxue in their own name.

If they win, they can share in the spoils of victory while maintaining the independence of the Spirit Pagoda.

If we lose, we can simply cut off the idea that these are the younger generation's own thoughts, and the children's ideas should not be generalized to the Spirit Pagoda itself.

The main feature is a non-stick pan.

Qian Renxue could easily guess Qian Gu Dieting's thoughts, but she still smiled and said, "With your help, that's enough. We will win all the victories, just like back then."

Qian Renxue's words were true. Qian Gu Dongfeng, Leng Yaozhu, and Leng Yulai were all very powerful even among the Super Douluo. Their addition was enough to change the entire battlefield.

Qian Gu Dongfeng laughed and said, "We were just doing our best; it's all as it should be."

...

The Land of the Dead.

"Huang'er, there's a fight going on outside, are you sure everything's alright?" Even though she had been accompanying Qian Gu Huang Yu in seclusion in the world of the dead, Gu Yue Na had been keeping a close eye on what was happening outside.

The Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather was still absorbing the energy in the Eternal Heaven, but it had become much more solid than the tenth soul ring behind her before.

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled faintly, "Of course there is no problem. Everything is under my control. Only by establishing unparalleled achievements can one establish a name that will last for eternity."

"If we go out now, we can only quell the rebellion. Only when the outside world is fully engaged in war can we rebuild our country!"

Gu Yuena said, "Huang'er, you mean..."

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "How could our goal, after all this effort, be merely to become the speaker of the council for one term?"

"Our target is the entire nation!"

"Gu Yue, don't you think it's interesting to turn my country into your own?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu's initial plan was simply to seize supreme power and then rightfully eliminate his political enemies.

After that, the Sun and Moon Federation will be privatized step by step.

However, after Chen Yiming stole the Eternal Kingdom, this audacious plan took shape in her mind.

On one hand, he faked his death using the Eternal Heaven Kingdom to get rid of Tang Hao and Ah Yin's attention, and then took the opportunity to break through to the god level with the power of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom.

Furthermore, after he and Gu Yuena disappeared, the Sun and Moon Federation would inevitably fall into civil war. At that time, he would step forward to rebuild the country and unify the north and south.

With the unparalleled achievement of rebuilding the country, one can prepare to relinquish the property three times, change the property certificate, and then establish a lineage for ten thousand generations.

Chaos is the ladder to power, just as Emperor Guangwu was able to ascend to the throne in the previous life of the phoenix feather, which was also related to the chaos in the world at that time.

If Liu Xiu had only quelled an internal rebellion, he would have been fortunate enough to enjoy his later years as a general; becoming emperor would have been an impossible dream.

“Gu Yue,” Qian Gu Huang Yu called softly.

Gu Yuena blinked, quietly waiting for Qian Gu Huang Yu to continue.

"Gu Yue, after everything is over, be my queen," Qian Gu Huang Yu said.

A frown appeared on Gu Yuena's brow as she coldly said, "Huang'er, do you think that because you're in seclusion, I can't punish you?"

...

Star Luo Empire Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Clan has once again requested to deepen our cooperation, saying that the Holy Spirit Cult has fled to the Sun and Moon Federation," Enci said, bowing deeply to Dai Lingxun.

Even after fifteen years, time has left no trace on Dai Lingxun; she remains as stunningly beautiful as when she was first seen as a young girl.

However, in the eyes of this White Tiger Empress, there was an unconcealable sorrow.

Even though Dai Lingxun was explicitly rejected by Qian Gu Huangyu back then, she could never let go of Qian Gu Huangyu.

Once someone encounters someone truly remarkable in their life, they will unconsciously compare newcomers to the old ones in the future.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu did not belong to Dai Lingxun before, they were both leaders of major forces, so the two at least had the opportunity to meet.

Since the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather disappeared beneath the Eternal Heaven, the two have been forever separated. This plunged Dai Lingxun into a state of loss and heartache.

Dai Lingxun said, "The Holy Spirit Cult has always been a major concern for me. Now that they have been lured away, it can be considered a good thing."

What conditions did the Tang Sect offer?

Enci said, "The Tang Sect said that after they unify the Federation, they will sign a permanent peace agreement with us, and will also support our development and share soul guidance technology with us."

"Similarly, they will also force the Spirit Pagoda to sell us Soul Armor."

Upon hearing this, Dai Lingxun nodded slightly and said, "That shows some sincerity. Then let's write a check to the Tang Sect."

"Your Majesty, what amount should be written on the check?" Grace asked.

"Don't write down any amount," Dai Lingxun said with a smile.

Enci paused for a moment, then bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

A blank check means that no matter how much the Tang Sect writes down, the Star Luo Empire will pay for it.

This means that the Star Luo Empire will unconditionally and fully support the Tang Sect's war.

This blank check incident will completely ignite this war.

I was disgusted by the thesis defense. I've been working until 3 or 4 AM for the past few days, and it's almost driving me to a nervous breakdown. Today was just a little late…
