Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 521 Ye Xishui's Deal with Kong Deming
Ye Xishui was not exaggerating.

Qiu'er and Ye Xishui are actually similar in one way: they are both truly willing to do anything for their loved ones.

If Yuwen Tuo really died, and Ye Xishui put herself in Qiu'er's shoes, Qiu'er would also be filled with anger and hatred, and at that time she would become the sharp blade that destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire.

In other words, in Ye Xishui's heart now, Yuwen Qiu is a widow like herself, and she can empathize with Qiu'er's feelings. That kind of irreconcilable hatred can make a person more crazy and powerful.

“Your Majesty, Elder Ye is right. The war has already begun, and it cannot be stopped just because you say so. We must actively prepare for war, and even take the initiative to attack, annihilate the three kingdoms, and unify the world,” Kong Deming said.

"Since both of you ministers have said so, then I have no reason to refuse. However, my ministers, we have suffered heavy losses in the past few years. I still suggest that we do not launch a full-scale attack, lest we inflict heavy casualties on both sides," Xu Guozhong said helplessly.

His control over the Sun and Moon court was far inferior to that of his predecessor, and even inferior to that of Xu Tianran. After all, his ascension to the throne was not entirely legitimate. If Kong Deming had not been indifferent to who was emperor, as long as it was a direct descendant of the Sun and Moon royal family, he would not have been able to hold onto his position at all.

At this moment, the two strongest people in the country are in agreement, and he has no room to refuse, so he can only be a little more tactful.

Kong Deming agreed with this, indeed, times have changed. Several consecutive defeats have severely depleted the Sun Moon Empire's national strength. Although it still surpasses the three major powers of the Douluo Continent, it can no longer exert overwhelming power.

"I understand Your Majesty's concerns, and naturally we cannot act rashly. I will find a way to cause changes in the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent, so as to create an opportunity to start a war," Kong Deming said.

"We do need to find an opportunity, but the most crucial thing is our own strength. Currently, within the Sun Moon Empire, we only have Elder Kong, a level ten Soul Master, which is clearly not enough," Ye Xishui said.

"What does 'Supreme Envoy' mean? Do you also want to become a Level 10 Soul Master? But your Death Tower..." Xu Guozhong asked doubtfully.

Ye Xishui's strongest soul tool is, of course, the Death God Tower. Before the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, it was said to be the soul tool closest to level ten.

But now, this soul tool has been destroyed by Yuwentuo. All the vengeful spirits in the Death God Tower have been put to death by Yuwentuo.

"Your Majesty, the Death God Tower is not destroyed, it has only temporarily lost its power. Therefore, I hope Elder Kong can help me re-engrave the core magic array of the Death God Tower. As long as there are enough vengeful spirits, it can regain its power." Ye Xishui knew that it would be difficult for her to make any further progress on the path of a Soul Master.

Even if you equip her Bright Phoenix Martial Soul with Soul Rings, it may not be able to break through the barrier between level 99 and level 100.

Therefore, she chose to break through again on the path of Soul Master. If she could combine the power of Limit Douluo and Level 10 Soul Tool, she would be invincible below the gods and destroy everything that Yuwen Tuo cherished would be no problem.

Since Yuwen Tuo himself is already dead, who else can control soul tools like he did?
"Enough vengeful spirits?" Kong Deming suddenly felt a chill. Helping Ye Xishui re-engraved the core magic array was not difficult for him, a level ten soul master.

However, Ye Xishui's description of enough vengeful spirits made him hesitate.

Enough? What does "enough" mean?
Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even millions, to upgrade the Death God Tower to a level ten soul tool, who knows how many people will die.

"Elder Kong, I know what you're worried about, but for the sake of the great cause, certain sacrifices are necessary. Rest assured, I will not touch the people in the interior of the Sun Moon Empire. It's just that in the border areas, if they are attacked by sea spirit beasts or ravaged by wolf bandits, they will die in disasters, which is unavoidable, right?" Ye Xishui said coldly.

She actually intended to use the lives of people on the edge of the continent to fill the Tower of Death. "Elder Kong, I will not make a deal with you for nothing. I know that you also have twin martial souls. The reason you only cultivate one martial soul is due to the drawbacks of your Sun Moon Empire's cultivation method, which relies too much on pills. Although you have broken through to the Title Douluo level, your soul power is unstable, your foundation is not solid, and your physical fitness is far inferior to that of Title Douluos of the same level from the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent. Even with six soul bones in your body, you cannot make up for this difference in foundation. That is why it took you so many years to advance to level ninety-five," Ye Xishui said.

"The reason you don't cultivate twin martial souls is because you're afraid of the drawbacks of twin martial souls. There have been precedents in history. People whose physical strength is not strong enough and whose soul power foundation is not stable enough will die from their bodies exploding if they rashly cultivate twin martial souls."

Listening to Ye Xishui's words, Kong Deming neither confirmed nor denied it. He was indeed limited by this, which was why he dared not cultivate twin martial souls. In fact, in terms of soul master realm, he was already not much inferior to Ye Xishui.

If this drawback is completely resolved, he can reach level 96 or above at the fastest speed by cultivating twin martial souls.

While I wouldn't say I'll become a Limit Douluo, reaching level 97 is certainly achievable.

At level 95, he is no less powerful than a Limit Douluo thanks to his Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. If he can reach level 97 or even 98, he is confident that he can solo Poison Undying.

"Mr. Ye, what do you mean?"

"I have a way to help you solve this problem. I can help you complete the cultivation of your second martial soul using the secret methods of my Holy Spirit Sect. How about it, Elder Kong? Are you willing to make this deal? You help me become a level ten soul master, and I will help you complete the cultivation of your second martial soul." The deal proposed by Ye Xishui made it impossible for Kong Deming to refuse.

The benefits are simply too great. If successful, the Sun Moon Empire will instantly produce two experts far surpassing the Limit Douluo level.

Now that Yuwen Tuo is dead, the two of them joined forces and led the Sun Moon Soul Master Legion to sweep across the Three Kingdoms. Who could stop them?
Poison won't kill him? He can't cause much trouble on his own.

The only thing that made him hesitate slightly was that the Holy Spirit Church was too powerful to be controlled. Ye Xishui was already strong enough. If she became a level 10 Soul Master, even if he successfully cultivated twin martial souls, he would not be entirely confident of defeating her.

After all, in the Sun Moon Empire's plan, the Holy Spirit Cult also needs to be eradicated after unifying the continent.

"I approve of the plan to provide for the Supreme Emperor!" Xu Guozhong declared at that moment.

He didn't understand why Kong Deming was hesitating. Such a good plan, what's the big deal if some lowly people on the edge of the empire die?

Even if they are worried that the Holy Spirit Cult will become too powerful, that's something to worry about after they unify the continent. Right now, they can't even unify the continent, so why are they worrying about this and that?

If the Holy Spirit Cult really can't be eradicated in the future, then let them be. Anyway, there aren't many evil spirit masters. If we use ordinary people to cultivate, no more than 10,000 will die in a year.

"Yes, I obey your order!"

The emperor offered him a way out, and Kong Deming readily accepted.

The allure of cultivating twin martial souls was too great for him to bear, making it impossible for him to refuse.
