Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 509 Ambition
After killing Dai Mubai, the sect leaders of the seven major sects also met the same fate. All the high-ranking members of the seven major sects could not escape this calamity. This time, the Thunder God Sect showed its truly ruthless methods.

The happiest people at this moment are none other than the Star Luo Royal Family.

With the destruction of the White Tiger Kingdom, the so-called orthodox theory of the royal family also completely disappeared. The Star Luo royal family was able to absorb all the White Tiger Kingdom's army, recover the White Tiger Kingdom's territory, and restore the Star Luo Empire's national strength to its peak.

This would also allow for the deployment of surplus troops to support the Heavenly Dou Empire.

I heard that the Heaven Dou Empire is suffering repeated defeats in the face of the all-out attack of the Martial Soul Empire. It has lost 40% of its territory and may have another line of defense breached at any time.

Just as the Star Luo royal family was planning to annex the territory of the White Tiger Kingdom, they discovered that the Thunder Nether Kingdom had already absorbed the territory of the White Tiger Kingdom, not giving the Star Luo Empire the opportunity at all.

Moreover, more than 70% of the White Tiger Kingdom's army became part of the Thunder Nether Kingdom's military force. The high-ranking officials and sect leaders of the seven major sects were killed, and the Thunder God Sect used ruthless methods to divide and absorb the soul masters of the seven major sects, forming the Thunder Nether Kingdom's ten major soul master legions.

For a time, the overall strength of the Thunder Kingdom far surpassed that of the Star Luo Empire.

What the Star Luo royal family found most unacceptable was that the Thunder Nether Kingdom was established in the name of the Star Luo Empire.

First, the Empire officially recognized the Duchy of Leiming. Then, it incorporated the surrounding territories into the Duchy of Leiming's territory. The Duchy of Leiming then proposed to be recognized as a kingdom. Since the front lines of the war needed the assistance of the Thunder God Sect, the Star Luo Emperor could not refuse the Thunder God Sect's proposal and thus officially recognized the Duchy of Leiming, making it a kingdom of the Star Luo Empire.

But now, the Thunder Nether Kingdom has actually annexed the territory of the White Tiger Kingdom ahead of schedule, and its territory is even larger than that of the Star Luo Empire.

Even the territories previously occupied by the White Tiger Kingdom were swallowed up by the Thunder Nether Kingdom.

"Isn't the ambition of this Thunder Kingdom a bit too great? It has only been around for a short time, yet it has already occupied such a large territory?"

A prince of the Star Luo royal family said indignantly, all of this was beyond their control, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"The current king of the Thunder Kingdom is Duke Youming, which is why the army of the White Tiger Kingdom is willing to join the Thunder Kingdom."

"Why choose the Duke of the Netherworld? Do they only want the army of the White Tiger Kingdom? But by absorbing the soul masters of the seven major sects to form a soul master legion, don't they already have a main force?"

"Regardless of the circumstances, we need to understand the current attitude of the Thunder Kingdom."

Besides being indignant about the actions of the Thunder Kingdom, the ministers in the court also had to carefully consider the Thunder Kingdom's current attitude.

If they wanted to attack the Star Luo Empire, they might not be able to stop them. Everyone can see that the Thunder God Sect is behind the Thunder Nether Kingdom.

Compared to the Spirit Hall's move to directly become the Spirit Empire, the Thunder God Sect's approach was largely the same. However, the Thunder God Sect was more concerned with having a legitimate reason for its actions. While one might despise the Thunder God Sect's hypocritical behavior, at certain times, the Thunder Nether Kingdom did have a legitimate reputation.

Both the Thunder Nether Duchy and the upgraded Thunder Nether Kingdom were officially recognized by the Star Luo Empire, and all of this was accomplished in the name of the Star Luo Empire.

In contrast to the Spirit Empire, which was formed by the Spirit Hall directly annexing the kingdoms and duchies of the two empires and becoming the Spirit Empire in its own name, the emergence of the Thunder Nether Kingdom is more legitimate.

This process was very quick; how much time had passed from beginning to end?
Emperor Xingluo was also trying his best to suppress his anger, but he had to admit the minister's words.

Since our national strength is inferior to that of the Thunder Kingdom, we must submit when the time comes.

Compared to the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire is truly on its last legs. The course of the battlefield is no longer determined by the number of troops and high-level Soul Masters.

The Clear Sky Sect dispatched several Title Douluos to assist the Heaven Dou Empire, along with Ning Fengzhi's powerful support, but none of this could hinder the Spirit Empire's progress.

The reason why the Spirit Empire has a god-level expert is that Qian Renxue's appearance on the battlefield means victory for the Spirit Empire every time.

The soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire have now lost their faith, believing that facing the army of the Spirit Empire is a doomed defeat.

The loss of vast territories cast a shadow over the entire Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Is there really no way to stop the Spirit Empire?" Emperor Xueye was in a side hall. He was in the main seat, and Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao were below him. However, Tang Xiao had suffered serious injuries. If he hadn't cultivated a soul core, he might have been worn down to death by the three elders of the Spirit Empire on the battlefield.

Besides the two, there are also Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Prince Xue Xing, and Yu Xiaogang.

Faced with the god-level powerhouse of the Martial Soul Empire, Yu Xiaogang's schemes lost their luster, and everything seemed insignificant.

“If we want to fight against the Spirit Empire, we must also have a god-level expert.” Yu Xiaogang’s voice came from the scene.

But everyone knows the answer: how could a god-level expert appear so easily?
“Currently, the most likely person in the Soul Master world to reach the God-level realm is undoubtedly the Sect Master of the Thunder God Sect. I think we can seek help from the Thunder God Sect,” Yu Xiaogang continued. Clearly, he was still unaware of what had happened between the Thunder God Sect and the Star Luo Empire.

“Master, a Thunder Nether Kingdom has appeared within the Star Luo Empire. The Thunder God Sect helped the Star Luo Empire defeat the White Tiger Kingdom, but the territory and army of the White Tiger Kingdom have been absorbed by the Thunder Nether Kingdom,” Ning Fengzhi said.

Not only was Yu Xiaogang shocked, but even Emperor Xueye on the main seat was somewhat surprised. He had heard about it, but the details were not as detailed as Ning Fengzhi had described.

That single sentence was enough to make the entire side hall extremely quiet.

What exactly is the Thunder God Sect trying to do? Are they trying to emulate the Spirit Hall?

Everyone subconsciously looked at Tang Xiao. Both the Spirit Hall and the Thunder God Sect were transcendent forces in the Soul Master world, as was the Clear Sky Sect. Could it be that he had the same idea?
"My Haotian Sect has absolutely no interest in controlling the secular world," Tang Xiao said.

Everyone knew that they shouldn't argue at this time, so they focused their attention on the Thunder God Sect.

"Who is the king of the Thunder Kingdom?" Prince Xuexing asked.

“Back then, the Duke of Youming of the Star Luo Empire, Master should remember the strange Shrek Academy of Tang San’s generation, Zhu Zhuqing’s father was this Duke of Youming,” Ning Fengzhi replied.

Ning Fengzhi's explanation of this sentence was specifically for the master to hear.

"What exactly does the Thunder God Sect mean by this action?"

"I think it's just imitating the Spirit Hall back then, only with an added layer of hypocrisy," Prince Xuexing said disdainfully.

However, given the current situation of the Spirit Empire, they must rely on the help of the Thunder God Sect Master, who may be the second god-level powerhouse in the Soul Master world besides Qian Renxue.
