Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

As Meteor drew his blood-stained Flamelight Spear, Dai Hao, a renowned general, the supreme commander of the Star Luo Empire's three armies, and Duke of White Tiger, breathed his last on this bloody battlefield and perished.

Seeing this, Liu Ying gently stomped her foot, and with a muffled sound, the earth instantly cracked open, and the crack quickly spread to Dai Hao's side.

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger slowly slid down and was mercilessly buried deep in the earth. From then on, he would remain here forever, sleeping alongside his brave and fearless White Tiger Army soldiers who followed him to the death, becoming a tragic chapter in the history of this land.

Meteor felt deep respect for Dai Hao. In this brutal battle, Dai Hao fought to the very last moment, never once considering surrendering, nor sacrificing his subordinates to survive.

On the contrary, he resolutely chose to sacrifice himself in order to give his subordinates hope for survival. Such courage and responsibility made even an opponent like Meteor deeply admire him.

However, the battlefield is always cruel and ruthless. The two sides have completely different positions, which inevitably leads to a life-or-death outcome.

Therefore, although Meteor admires Duke White Tiger's character and integrity, he will show no mercy on this battlefield of life and death.

Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin witnessed the death of the White Tiger Duke at the hands of Meteor. After successfully dealing with the three-headed bone dragon, he immediately thought of the mental-type soul master who had just ambushed them and trapped them in an illusion.

He knew that if this person was not eliminated, he would definitely become a major threat in the future. Therefore, he immediately led the Soul Master Corps to search for him. Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao was prepared and immediately used a powerful spiritual soul skill to perfectly conceal his figure and quietly escape from the scene. No matter how carefully Ye Yulin and the others searched, they could not find a trace of him.

However, when Ye Yulin and the others turned their gaze to this battlefield that had been completely transformed, they were all deeply shocked.

The once vibrant valley has been completely transformed, replaced by a breathtaking lava canyon.

The rolling lava seemed to be telling the story of the terror of that sword strike. Recalling the meteor's earth-shattering sword strike that altered the terrain, Ye Yulin and the others couldn't help but subtly change the way they looked at the meteor.

In the past, they simply regarded Meteor as a promising junior, appreciating his talent and potential.

But after witnessing his terrifying strength in this battle, Ye Yulin and the others no longer dared to regard Liuxing and Liuying as ordinary juniors.

At least Ye Yulin was self-aware enough to know that if he were to take the sword head-on, his fate would probably not be much better. However, unlike Duke White Tiger, he was protected by many defensive soul tools and would not be as helpless as Duke White Tiger, who would be directly destroyed by the sword.

Meanwhile, the members of the Molten Knights, their eyes gleaming with admiration, all focused their gazes on their leader, Meteor.

Although the incredibly powerful sword strike had startled them, causing them to instinctively fly into the sky to take cover, it did not diminish their reverence for the meteor and the firefly.

In the eyes of the members of the Molten Knights and many others who witnessed the battle, the strength displayed by Meteor and Firefly was simply heaven-defying, completely surpassing the level nine soul masters of other soul master groups.

First, they easily blocked the powerful Duke White Tiger, making it difficult for him to break through. Then, the final, earth-shattering sword strike they unleashed together shocked the entire audience.

This sword strike was not only incredibly powerful, directly altering the terrain of the battlefield, but even the celestial phenomena changed color. Such terrifying strength was truly astonishing. It's worth noting that Meteor and Firefly were very young, much younger than many of those present.

Moreover, their current cultivation level is only at the Soul Saint realm. At this age, to have such cultivation and be able to confront a Title Douluo-level powerhouse head-on is already an astonishing feat.

Not to mention that they also unleashed a stunning sword strike that altered the terrain and celestial phenomena. With such strength, no one could deny that they were invincible among the younger generation.

Even among the older generation of powerful figures, many would likely find it difficult to defeat them.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, perhaps only a handful of top-tier powerhouses standing at the very top of the pyramid have the ability to suppress Meteor and Firefly at this moment.

The next morning, the sun rose slowly, as always, full of youthful vigor.

This should have been a beautiful day full of hope and vitality. However, for many people on the Douluo Continent, this day became the beginning of a nightmare.

The Mingdou Mountain range defense line was easily breached, the once invincible White Tiger City was destroyed, the renowned White Tiger Army was wiped out, and the pillar of the Star Luo Empire—the White Tiger Duke—also died a heroic death in this brutal war.

This series of heartbreaking bad news spread rapidly throughout the entire Douluo Continent like a surging tide through various channels.

This shocking news was like a bombshell, instantly shattering the Star Luo Empire and plunging the entire nation into shock and grief.

The people were gripped by panic, the army's morale was low, and this news also put the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire on high alert, and they could no longer sit idly by.

Knowing the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," once the Star Luo Empire, the strongest among the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, is unable to withstand the fierce offensive of the Sun Moon Empire, then the other two countries will inevitably face annihilation.

Therefore, both countries immediately dispatched a large number of reinforcements to support the Star Luo Empire. In order to reach the battlefield as soon as possible, the reinforcements sped up their march, traveling day and night, hoping to provide timely and powerful support to the Star Luo Empire.

The current dire situation of the Star Luo Empire and the unfortunate death of Duke White Tiger were unexpected by everyone.

Previously, they had overestimated the strength of the Sun Moon Empire as much as possible, but the harsh reality far exceeded their expectations.

The Sun Moon Empire's offensive in this war was exceptionally swift, especially the powerful level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, whose terrifying destructive power chilled everyone to the bone.

When the war truly broke out, the original Douluo Three Kingdoms finally woke up from their dream and sadly discovered that all the preparations they had made were so insignificant in the face of the powerful military strength of the Sun Moon Empire, and far from enough to cope with this crisis.
