Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 508 The devastating news of the war's end arrives.

With the Holy Spirit Cult completely defeated, the Title Douluos who were freed up by the Body Sect were not idle and immediately joined the battle.

The Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Legion was already routed by Poison Undying alone, and was further bombarded by the Heavenly Soul Master Legion led by Cao Jinxuan with Soul Guidance Cannons.

The addition of numerous titled Douluo was like the last straw, no, it should be called a ton of bricks, causing the Sun and Moon Army Formation to collapse instantly.

Orange ran frantically into the woods. She no longer knew how many level-nine soul masters their Sun Moon Empire had lost in this war, but she understood that they had no chance of winning at this point.

She had to escape; only by living could she have any hope. She still had a deep-seated grudge against Duke White Tiger that she hadn't avenged, and she absolutely couldn't die.

Unfortunately, Vina won't let her leave this time. Yuwen Tuo told her that Ju Zi is a significant threat; although she is weak in individual strength, she possesses considerable military skills.

This time, they won the war because they were caught off guard by the enemy's strategy, but they may not be so lucky next time.

The Sun and Moon Empire's Hall of Worship and Hall of Bright Virtue still retain a considerable force, and they still have the opportunity to make a comeback. We cannot allow Orange to lead this force.

Previously, Yuwen Tuo deliberately let Ju Zi go so that Ju Zi could use this feint attack strategy. Then he would turn the tables on her. Now, Ju Zi has no more use to him.

Since she had no value and had once been Xu Tianran's person, then for Yuwen Tuo, chopping her up and throwing her into the trash was the only fate that suited her.

As Orange ran, she suddenly noticed that beautiful snowflakes were falling from the sky, but within these snowflakes lay an intense killing intent.

Vina appeared directly in front of her at some point, holding a rapier, and slowly walked towards her.

"Marshal Orange, have you ever seen snow falling on earth?"

Orange smiled helplessly, "I think I saw it!"

She gave up and abandoned the idea. After all, no matter how strong her military power was, her personal strength was only that of a Soul Master who was not even a Soul Saint. Facing Vina, a Title Douluo, she had no chance of winning.

Vina brandished her longsword, and snowflakes gathered towards its blade before she thrust it forward, entering her heart and exiting through her back.

The legendary empress and war goddess who dominated the world in the original novel perished in this battle!

Long Aotian came to his fiancée's side and sighed as he looked at Ju Zi's corpse, "What a pity. If we weren't destined to be enemies, this woman would have been more valuable alive than dead. If it weren't for Junior Brother Yuwen's foresight, her feint attack might have succeeded, and my Heavenly Soul Empire would have been in grave danger."

"It's a pity, but as an enemy, the more outstanding she is, the more she deserves to be killed!" Vina wasn't so sentimental; she had already made up her mind before going to this battlefield.

The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, during which the roar of artillery fire never ceased.

With the collapse of their upper echelons, the remaining troops of the Sun Moon Empire were no match for so many Title Douluos. In the end, some died, some surrendered, and some fled.

The entire battlefield was littered with corpses, mostly soldiers from the Sun Moon Empire and a small number from the Heavenly Soul Empire, in a ratio of about eight to one.

This can truly be considered a resounding victory.

The entire land was stained red with blood. Vina looked at the devastated battlefield and immediately ordered the cleanup after the war ended.

Firstly, rescue any surviving wounded soldiers, whether enemy or friendly, and bring them back for treatment to minimize further deaths.

The two searched for the bodies of enemy high-ranking officers to determine which officers had died and which had escaped in the chaos of battle.

The handling of the fallen bodies by the three groups was somewhat hypocritical. Those wearing the Heavenly Soul Armor were taken back whenever possible; if their family background could be traced, they were returned to their families with sufficient financial compensation. Those whose family backgrounds couldn't be traced were given a proper burial. Meanwhile, the bodies of soldiers wearing the Sun and Moon Armor were burned on the spot to prevent the widespread spread of viruses and bacteria, which could lead to an epidemic.

There was nothing she could do about it; war is cruel. Vina didn't have the energy to properly dispose of even the enemy's corpses.

Finally, they plundered the spoils of war, such as usable soul tools and soul cannons, and also soul bones. In this great battle, many level nine soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire and titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult perished.

With so many people, it's not like there isn't a single one with a soul bone. On the contrary, several of them do, especially Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng, who has at least three.

However, the war had just been intense, and everyone's attention was focused on the battlefield. Before the war ended, no one had the mind to collect soul bones.

Now that the battle is over, we can't let so much valuable property go to waste.

Inside Maple Leaf City, after a whole night of work, someone quickly placed the compiled report on Vina's desk.

"In this war, although the Sun Moon Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops were almost completely wiped out, our army, despite being prepared, still suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. The birth of soul tools has certainly accelerated social development, but it has also made war casualties increasingly difficult to control," Vina sighed.

As the saying goes, soul skills are blind, but soul-guided cannons are even more blind.

The damage caused by a single shot far exceeds that of an ordinary Soul Master's Soul Skill.

While Title Douluo are more destructive, they cannot be mass-produced, whereas Soul Guidance Cannons can.

"That's already pretty good, Nana. What's the situation regarding the deaths of high-ranking enemy officers?" Yunyi asked.

Vina said, "The entire army of evil Soul Masters and Title Douluos brought by the Holy Spirit Cult were wiped out. Among the ninth-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire, Luan Feng, Xia Xuanchen, and Liao Mengkai were found dead or otherwise identified."

Vina read out the names one by one.

Miao Xin listened intently, noticing that several key figures were missing. "Ye Yulin escaped? And Zheng Zhan too?"

Vina shook her head. "We haven't seen their bodies yet, nor have we found anything to prove their identities. The battle was chaotic at the time, and with their strength, they probably managed to hide and escape amidst the artillery fire. It's alright, just a few people escaping won't cause any big trouble."

Just as everyone was sorting out battlefield intelligence, Poison Undying stood with his arms crossed, looking westward with a furrowed brow.

"Sect Master, what's wrong?" Lu Si asked as he stepped forward.

"Neither Long Xiaoyao nor Ye Xishui appeared on the battlefield today. According to Tuo'er, he went to the Mingdou Mountains to intercept Ye Xishui. Long Xiaoyao should have been here, but where is he? If he also went to the Mingdou Mountains, can Tuo'er handle two Limit Douluos?"

Just then, an anxious figure stumbled into the hall and knelt before Vina, saying, "Your Highness, Your Majesties, a battle report has arrived from the Mingdou Mountains. The combined forces of Xingluo, Tianhun, and Douling have successfully breached the Mingdou Mountains and are now advancing towards the interior of the Sun Moon Empire."

Long Aotian laughed loudly. "Haha, as expected of my junior brother, it must be because he defeated Ye Xishui that the battlefield over there went so smoothly. Come, tell me, what brilliant achievements has my junior brother made this time?"

Upon hearing this, the intelligence officer hesitated.

Vina frowned, realizing something was wrong, and said sternly, "What is this? What is the situation with Junior Brother? Report back immediately!"

"Yes!" the intelligence officer replied immediately. "Lord Yuwen did indeed appear in the Mingdou Mountains, challenging Death God Douluo in the name of Xuanyuan Douluo and winning the battle. However, Long Xiaoyao suddenly arrived. To save Death God Douluo, he disregarded everything and self-destructed with His Majesty Xuanyuan. It is now widely known throughout the continent that Dragon Emperor Douluo and Xuanyuan Douluo perished together!"
