Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 650 The Strongest Evil Soul Master in History vs. the Strongest Soul Master of the Contemporary Era

The Star Luo Empire, the territory occupied by the native inhabitants.

Long Hao has been very worried these past few days. As the leader of the native inhabitants of the Star Luo Empire, he has always regarded driving out the invaders of the Star Luo Empire as his mission.

However, due to the weakness of the indigenous people, they were no match for the Star Luo Empire. In fact, to avoid being wiped out by the Star Luo Empire, they were now forced to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, the Sun Moon Federation's campaign against the Star Luo Empire completely changed this situation. Faced with pressure from the Sun Moon Federation, the Star Luo Empire had no time to spare.

This greatly reduced the defensive pressure on the indigenous people, and in addition, they even gradually expanded their territory.

This led them to believe at one point that they could completely drive out the Star Luo Empire, restore their homeland, and return to the old capital.

But Longhao's dream was shattered before it could last long.

After the Holy Spirit Cult attacked the main force of the Sun and Moon Federation, the Sun and Moon Federation immediately turned its guns on the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold, Shura City.

The Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold, Shura City, is located in the heart of the indigenous-occupied territory. In other words, if the Sun and Moon Federation wanted to attack Shura City, it would have to completely conquer the entire indigenous-occupied territory.

However, compared to the Sun and Moon Federation, the indigenous people were far weaker, even if they weren't exactly being overwhelmed by flying dragons. They lost a province in less than a week.

For the first time, there was an opportunity to launch an attack; for the first time, there was strong support. How could two joyful things combined turn out like this?

Seeing the great opportunity for revival slip away, Long Hao even developed resentment towards the Ghost Emperor.

Seeing his compatriots suffering increasingly heavy casualties under the Sun and Moon Federation's gunfire, and his territory shrinking with each battle, Long Hao grew angrier and angrier.

With this thought in mind, Long Hao immediately dialed the Ghost Emperor's soul communication number: "Ghost Emperor, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Did you consider our feelings when you launched your surprise attack on the Sun Moon Federation? My compatriots are risking their lives on the front lines, while you are hiding in the back, complacent and carefree?"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor's expression instantly turned cold. Mortis called me a brat because he liked me. What are you anyway?
You are something that would be wiped out without me, shouldn't you call me Teacher Great Demon?

"Long Hao, do I need to report to you what I do?"

Hearing the Ghost Emperor say this, Long Hao was also furious: "Don't forget, your Holy Spirit Cult's main base, Shura City, was given to you by me!"

Long Hao had been under immense pressure within his clan for giving away the homeland he had so painstakingly reclaimed to someone else.

The Ghost Emperor said coldly, "If you're not willing, then come and snatch it now!"

After the Ghost Emperor finished speaking, he immediately hung up the soul communication.

He was already furious enough about being tricked by Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin in the Douling Empire, but Long Hao's accusations only intensified his anger.

"Since when did a dog dare to bark at me like that?"

...

No sooner had the Ghost Emperor hung up the phone than someone approached Long Hao. "Clan Chief, the Sun and Moon Federation...they said..."

"Don't panic, stay calm!" Long Hao scolded.

"Yes!" The man took a few breaths and said, "Clan leader, the people of the Sun and Moon Federation have refused to negotiate. They said they will not negotiate with evil soul masters."

"What?" Long Hao was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He had just ruined his relationship with the Ghost Emperor, and now the Sun and Moon Federation refused to negotiate, pushing them to the brink of despair.

"Clan leader, can we ask the Ghost Emperor to take action?" The messenger was Long Hao's confidant and naturally knew about their dealings with the Holy Spirit Cult.

Upon hearing this, Long Hao frowned and rebuked, "Enough! If we continue to rely on the Holy Spirit Cult, how are we any different from the evil spirit masters?"

"It's time to show the Sun and Moon Federation our true capabilities!"

...

Star Luo Empire, Sun Moon Federation Main Camp.

Qian Renxue looked at the intelligence sent by Le Zhengen and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"What do you mean by 'let us see their true abilities'? Do they really have those abilities?"

Le Zheng'en said, "If you ask me, they're not even as good as the Northern Army back then!"

The Northern Legion guards the far north, but due to human development, the number of spirit beasts in the far north has decreased sharply, so there are basically no missions there, making it a very idle position.

The Northern Legion could be considered the weakest of the original eight legions of the Federation.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "However, these natives did make some contributions, namely by providing us with supplies."

The saying goes, "If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way." When Enci led the attack before, they genuinely destroyed a lot of Sun and Moon Federation's resources.

This caused a sudden surge in logistical pressure on the Sun and Moon Federation's military.

The reason Qian Renxue attacked the indigenous-occupied area at this time was not only to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult hiding behind it, but also to take this opportunity to seize the indigenous people's resources.

In addition, the Star Luo Continent also has many of its own unique resources, such as rare metals that the Sun Moon Federation does not possess.

"Commander-in-Chief, should we report all the supplies we seized?" Le Zheng'en asked.

Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said, "No need. We'll set aside a portion for the Prime Minister and keep the rest for ourselves."

"Finally, report a small amount; if there's any left over after the war, put it into the national treasury."

As Qian Renxue served as the Federation's Commander-in-Chief for longer, she became increasingly adept at taking small items from each person, and had essentially become a qualified Commissioner Smith.

"Commander-in-Chief, what about those indigenous people?" Le Zheng'en asked again.

Qian Renxue said, "What natives are there? Aren't they all evil spirit masters and their accomplices?"

Upon hearing this, Le Zheng'en instantly understood Qian Renxue's meaning, nodded silently, and then withdrew.

"Sister Huangyu, is this really a good idea? Your KD ratio is probably going to surpass Dugu Bo's now," Qian Renxue said helplessly.

"They were the ones who sided with the evil spirit masters first. They were already the Ghost Emperor's lackeys even before I became the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"Moreover, their relationship with the Star Luo Empire is a mess. The Star Luo Empire has spent 20,000 years and still hasn't been able to sort out their relationship with them. We are even less likely to. Rather than continue to plant landmines for ourselves and once again ignite domestic conflicts."

"It's better to just not see them and not worry about them. Although the native inhabitants of the Star Luo Continent are not a small number, they are still negligible compared to the people of the Star Luo Empire."

"After all, we can't really kill everyone in the Star Luo Empire, can we?"

The reason why Qian Gu Huang Yu was so ruthless as to want to annihilate the native inhabitants of the Star Luo Continent was because she learned from the Ghost Emperor that in order to obtain the help of the Holy Spirit Cult, the native inhabitants actually had to offer a certain number of death row inmates to the Holy Spirit Cult every year.

When there are not enough death row inmates, the indiscriminate killing of innocent people will naturally occur.

Qian Gu Huang Yu naturally had no good feelings towards this group of people who sacrificed their compatriots and were willing to be dogs for evil soul masters.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's love is actually only directed towards the people around her. Even towards the people, she can't really say whether she treats them kindly out of kindness or simply to make her approval rating look better.

However, as the saying goes, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Qian Gu Huang Yu felt that doing this was in accordance with her conscience, and that was enough. Even when facing the Holy Spirit Cult, she had only developed some feelings for a few high-ranking members after getting to know them over the years.

The entire Holy Spirit Cult is nothing more than a useful knife to it.

But now, this knife is turning against its master, so it must be repaired.

...

Just as Qian Renxue had predicted, after making up her mind, the Sun Moon Federation's army completely wiped out the native inhabitants of the Star Luo Continent in just half a month, pushing the battle line to the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold, Shura City.

However, once they reached Shura City, the Sun Moon Federation army, which had always been invincible, seemed to be frozen in place, unable to advance even an inch.

Of course, it's not that the Holy Spirit Cult is so powerful, but rather that what stands in their way is the Holy Spirit Cult's leader, Mortis, or rather, the eternal sun of the Sun and Moon Federation, Prime Minister Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Faced with this situation, Qian Renxue, a seasoned professional, certainly knew what to do.

Instead of sending troops to attack Shura City every day, Qian Renxue personally engaged in a match-fixing contest with Mortis in front of both sides.

The aftershocks of the battle shattered the sky, space itself was broken, and two supreme beings fought to the ends of the universe, obliterating even the Great Dao! In short, the bigger the spectacle, the better.

Of course, in the end, Qian Renxue would always "narrowly lose" to Mortis, so as not to tarnish the prestige of her own prime minister.

In addition, in order to maximize the publicity for the Eternal Phoenix Feather, the first battle between Qian Renxue and Mortis was broadcast live globally.

Then, Qian Renxue was forced into a strategic retreat in front of a global audience…

Yes, it's definitely not that I can't beat them; it's just a sense of responsibility as a working-class person.

Star Luo Empire, Royal Palace.

Although Qian Renxue did not defeat Mortis, the Star Luo Empire immediately began to analyze the battle after recording it live.

"Grand Preceptor, just how powerful are Yue Qianxue and Mortis?" Upon hearing the results of their research, Dai Lingxun couldn't wait to ask Enci.

Of course, Dai Lingxun didn't want to ask if they still had a chance to defeat the Sun Moon Federation, because they knew they were no match for them.

Dai Lingxun just wanted to know how strong Mortis really was, and whether the Sun and Moon Federation could defeat him.

After all, even if they were annexed by the Sun and Moon Federation, the rulers would still be human beings. But if they were eventually unified by the Holy Spirit Cult, none of them would survive.

As the only Limit Douluo in the Star Luo Empire, Saint Dragon Douluo Enci naturally had to do his part in researching the combat power of other Limit Douluos.

Seeing that it was Dai Lingxun who came over, Enci wiped the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the current results of their battle..."

"Whether it's Yue Qianxue or Mortis, they probably far exceed the scope that the term 'quasi-god' can encompass."

"I carefully reviewed the information about the quasi-gods that Shrek gave us during the One Year War, and finally concluded that their strength was far beyond imagination."

During the One Year War, because of the blank check that Dai Lingxun gave to Shrek Academy, Shrek Academy sent a lot of information about quasi-gods to the Star Luo Empire, hoping to help Enci make further breakthroughs.

"Moreover, Mortis's strength is definitely above that of Yue Qianxue."

"Besides, Mortis, a demonic soul master, was able to defeat Le Qianxue despite the restraint of the six-winged angel, so her true strength is probably even greater."

"If we disregard Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa Goddess, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the strongest evil spirit master in history."

...

As the battle between Qian Renxue and Mortis remained unresolved, the title of the strongest evil soul master in history began to spread rapidly throughout the entire Douluo Star.

When the news came, the entire nation of the Star Luo Empire was gripped by fear. Who could have imagined that such a terrifying demon was lurking in their seemingly safe country?

In an instant, the citizens of the Star Luo Empire took to the streets, hoping that the Star Luo Empire would send troops to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult.

Faced with this result, Enci and Dai Lingxun could only smile wryly: Really? I beat Mortis?

However, Dai Lingxun saw this as an opportunity. Instead of dragging things out like this, she thought it would be better to take this opportunity to make peace with the Sun and Moon Federation and then attack the Holy Spirit Cult together.

In this way, the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Federation can be considered allies. Even if they cannot avoid surrendering in the future, at least their treatment after defeat can be improved.

...

Sun and Moon Federation, Prime Minister's Office.

"Sister Huang Yu, the stage is all set up, all that's missing is you, the lead actress, to perform." Qian Renxue looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu and smiled.

The previous battle between the six-winged angels and the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was naturally a charade put on by the two of them, and now, it's time for the grand finale.

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "Since the army has encountered difficulties at the front line, it is only natural that I need to personally take action to wipe out all the enemy."

Qian Renxue said, "After such a war, the two sides that fought so fiercely in the One Year War can be said to have put aside their grudges."

"During this period, there were instances where former Free Federation Soul Masters carried New Federation Soul Masters with them as they retreated from the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Now that the strategic objective has been achieved, it's time to end all of this."

Subsequently, as the title of Mortis, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, as the strongest evil soul master in history spread throughout the entire Douluo Star, another piece of news completely ignited this public opinion.

The Prime Minister of the Sun and Moon Federation, the most powerful person in the entire world, the Abandoned Heavenly Douluo, the Ancient Phoenix Feather, will personally lead an expedition against the Holy Spirit Cult.

This person once killed four quasi-gods in one night during the Spring of Mingdu Incident, and at the end of the One Year War, he suppressed the entire war with thunderous force.

Since the return of the Ancient Phoenix Feather, she has been recognized by the Soul Master world as the strongest Soul Master of her time.

This reputation even intimidated the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. Initially, when Xue Chaoyang learned that Qian Gu Huang Yu would not personally lead an expedition against the Dou Ling Empire, he was relieved.

Now, this universally acknowledged strongest Soul Master of our time is about to travel to the Star Luo Empire to personally confront the strongest Evil Soul Master in history.

"Junior sister, why are you going to deal with Mortis personally? She's currently the most powerful evil spirit master in history!" Upon learning that Qian Gu Huang Yu was going to take action herself, Yue Hongchen rushed over.

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled faintly, "Senior Sister, is there a problem?"

Yue Hongchen said, "You are now the spiritual faith of the entire Sun Moon Federation. It doesn't matter if Le Qianxue loses, but if you lose, your prestige will be damaged."

"At that time, every now and then, someone might think they're quite strong and want to challenge you. Then your reputation won't be able to suppress the entire Douluo Star."

In Yue Hongchen's view, it was undoubtedly an unwise choice for Qian Gu Huang Yu to take action personally. Since Qian Gu Huang Yu ascended to the pinnacle of power, every move she made was so powerful that it was despair-inducing. This was also the foundation for her ability to dominate the Sun and Moon Federation after the One Year War.

But the price of her unparalleled fame was that she had to win every time she made a move afterward, since the hardest thing to maintain is always one's public image.

Otherwise, if she loses even once, or wins in a less than impressive way, people will think that she is not actually strong enough.

This would lead to repeated challenges to the authority of the Ancient Phoenix Feather, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the cost of governance.
