Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 588 Capturing the King: Yu Wentuo Attacks the Star Luo Imperial Palace

Before Dai Hao's army had even penetrated deep into the Douling Empire, they heard two extremely serious pieces of news.

On the main battlefield, the Douling Empire was defeated by the Tianhun Empire.

The two strongest figures in Douling, Tianyang Douluo and Zihuang Douluo, were defeated by Cao Jinxuan and Ji Juechen of the Guigu Sect, respectively. Cao Jinxuan killed Tianyang Douluo to avenge his master, while Ji Juechen killed Zihuang Douluo with an absolute advantage. Both of them became famous throughout the world. The dozen or so titled Douluos in Douling's Hall of Worship were almost completely wiped out by the elders of the Body Sect led by Xuanjia Douluo Long Aotian.

This is only what happened on the front lines. There was even worse news: the Douling royal family was slaughtered overnight, with not a single member left.

With the royal family, military commanders, and pillars of the nation wiped out in one fell swoop, the Douling Empire is now completely leaderless and a mess.

"Oh no!" Dai Hao exclaimed in alarm. "Quickly, come back with me!"

He just wanted to go back immediately, firstly because it was too late to rescue Dou Ling at this point.

Secondly, he guessed the Heavenly Soul Empire's tactics.

A strategy to capture the king!
The fact that the entire royal family of the Douling Empire was wiped out without explanation must have been orchestrated by either Yuwen Tuo or Du Bu Si.

Moreover, it will only be one of them, because the other person's target is most likely the Star Luo Empire.

The current situation is similar to, yet completely different from, the original story.

Similarly, the Heavenly Soul Empire has basically taken control of the Sun Moon Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, much like the Sun Moon Empire has taken over the Heavenly Soul and Fighting Spirit Empires.

Ultimately, it's always a superpower confronting the final Star Luo.

The difference is that the Sun Moon Empire in the original work is only strong in terms of military strength, and its top combat power is only Kong Deming. Even before Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong came out of seclusion, the Star Luo side had at least one Xuanzi of level 99 to contend with him, so it was impossible to use the method of decapitation.

But now, within the Heavenly Soul Empire.

With Yuwen Tuo, Du Bu Si, and Yuwen Qiu, who could break through to the Limit Douluo level at any time, what can Xing Luo use to contend with these three top-tier powerhouses?
At times like these, the strategy of capturing the king is the best tactic bestowed by heaven, and its effect is a hundred times more immediate than intercepting grain supplies.

In the Star Luo Empire's palace, Yuwen Tuo walked step by step into the main hall. He had been away from the poison for two days. In fact, Vina did not want to entrust this task to him. Even though Yuwen Tuo had long since severed ties with the Star Luo Empire in terms of body and bloodline, the first impression of the world was not so easy to change.

Many people still regard Yuwen Tuo as the son of the Sun and Moon Emperor and Xu Yueran. If Yuwen Tuo were to kill them all, it would inevitably cause controversy.

But Yuwen Tuo still accepted the task because he really didn't care.

His only wish now is to help Tianhun unify the continent and then complete the Ninth Trial of the God of Fire.

Once he has resolved things here, he will retire gracefully.

Now, indeed, no one can stop Yuwen Tuo. In the God Realm, Tang San is not a one-man show. If he wanted to force the Heavenly Soul Empire to withdraw its troops as in the original story, and even change the name to Heavenly Dou and Star Luo to confront each other in the north and south, and prevent unification, it would be impossible. Yuwen Tuo would not listen to him at all.

Tang Hao has not yet fully inherited the position of the Lord God of the Plane, so he cannot act on behalf of the continent at will. As for Huo Yuhao, he has not yet been resurrected, and he was only level 80 in his previous life. Even if he forcibly accepts the position of the Guardian God of the Plane, it is not something that can be done in a short time.

It will take at least several months or even a year to fully assume the divine position.

"Yuwen Tuo, you really have come." Xu Jiawei sat on the throne just like Emperor Xuefeng.

However, he wasn't as extreme as Xuefeng. The Empress, his younger sister, and the princes stood beside him. Of course, perhaps it was also because Xingluo's power hadn't been severely damaged like Douling's, so he still held onto a sliver of hope.

The Heavenly Soul Empire's strategy of capturing the king is not difficult to see, but unfortunately, it is an open conspiracy, and even if you can see it, you can't break it.

This plan is based on Yuwen Tuo's unparalleled strength. If no one can be found to match Yuwen Tuo, then we can only sit and wait to die.

Or they could flee, but the royal family has its dignity. The Star Luo Empire couldn't afford to lose face by being forced to evacuate the palace by Yuwen Tuo alone.

Therefore, their final choice was to wait for Yuwen Tuo to arrive here.

“Xu Jiawei, you have some guts. Knowing I was coming, you didn’t hide or hide,” Yuwen Tuo said.

"I am the Emperor of Xingluo, and I fear no enemy. Yuwen Tuo, you think it won't be so easy for you to take my life today." Even when facing Yuwen Tuo, Xu Jiawei remained neither humble nor arrogant, truly living up to the name of an emperor.

"Yuwen Tuo, are you really going to turn against our Xingluo for the sake of the Tianhun Empire?" Xu Jiujiu looked at Yuwen Tuo with a complicated expression.

She had long thought this day would come, but she never expected it to come so soon.

"Although Tianhun is not my true homeland, it can at least be considered my homeland in this world. Although my senior sister is not my biological sister and the sect leader is not my father, they are still my family. Fighting for the country and helping my family is what I, Yuwentuo, truly desire." Flames swirled between Yuwentuo's palms. As his Fire Elephant Martial Soul erupted, the temperature of the entire palace rose instantly, as if the heat would melt the entire palace.

Brush brush.

More than a dozen figures appeared in the main hall. For this battle, Xu Jiawei had gathered all the remaining titled experts of Xingluo.

The one at the head was naturally the guardian deity of the Star Luo Empire.

Grand Elder Xu Xingye, a level 97 Super Douluo.

Below him is the Healer Douluo Wang Xian'er.

The reason they were certain that the person who came to the Star Luo Empire was Yuwen Tuo, not Du Busi, was because when Wang Xian'er helped Du Busi break through to the Limit Douluo level, Du Busi promised her that he would never set foot on the land of the Star Luo Empire without her permission.

But that promise only prevented the poison from killing him; it was ineffective against Yuwen Tuo.

"Yuwen Tuo, you think you can destroy my Xingluo? It's not that simple! Star Guardian!" As the strongest in Xingluo, Xu Xingye naturally couldn't hide behind others.

Star Guardian is the signature move of the Star Crown Martial Soul. It is a defensive soul skill that no Star Crown Martial Soul owner will lack. It has strong defensive power and can block attribute power. Even the ultimate attribute will be restrained.

Xu Xingye's move can also incorporate the soul power of other Title Douluos, greatly enhancing the power of his soul skill.

Now that more than a dozen titled Douluo from Xingluo have joined forces, even a Limit Douluo will not be able to break through this Star Guardian so easily.

Unfortunately, that was for a Limit Douluo. Yuwen Tuo is no longer a Limit Douluo; his strength has already surpassed the limit many times over.

Yuwen Tuo opened his sword-like eyes, and the fiery sword energy fused with the fire elemental martial soul surged forth, instantly causing the Star Guardian's defensive barrier to be covered with cracks.
