Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 299 The New Sect Master of the Star Crown Sect
Since the Emperor went into seclusion to break through his cultivation and the Empress began preparing for war, the entire continent has suddenly fallen into an extremely strange calm.

No one cared about the outcome of the battle between Shrek Academy and the evil spirit masters; it wasn't even a topic of conversation for them after dinner.

No one stepped forward to condemn the atrocities committed by the Sun and Moon forces, and no faction dared to openly take sides.

They all closed their doors to visitors, gathered all their strength, and waited for the situation to change; without exception.

Those sects that originally planned to bring their families to join the Sun and Moon Sect also stopped packing their bags after the envoy returned.

They remained quietly in their respective posts, only sending a small number of elite disciples to Mingdu, where they were at the Empress's disposal.

The outcome of his meeting with the emperor was self-evident.

As for the Star Luo Empire, which used to shout "resist foreign enemies," it has acted contrary to its usual behavior in the face of the impending crisis.

There was no call for joint defense against the enemy from the mainland, as was done four thousand years ago, nor was there any basic pre-war propaganda.

Even the Star Luo Empire's standing army of one million was cut in half by Xu Jiawei, leaving only the most elite troops on standby.

Undoubtedly, this includes the troops under the command of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, as well as the Imperial Guard that has protected the capital for thousands of years.

The reason for leaving these two armies behind is quite simple.

The selection of the Imperial Guard is understandable, as they are basically selected and trained by the royal family from childhood, loyal to the Star Luo royal family, and are extremely powerful.

The decision to have Duke Baihu remain stationed at the border was entirely due to Xu Jiawei's desire to watch the show.

Long ago, Xu Jiujiu had informed Huo Yuhao and Dai Hao of their tainted relationship in a letter home.

Unfortunately, due to the urgency of the situation, he never had the opportunity to make it clear.

Now that we finally have something to do, if we don't seize the opportunity, we might regret it for a long time even after we die.

Fortunately, Dai Hao, who was completely unaware of this, believed that he had long been a thorn in the side of the Sun Moon Empire by using the name White Tiger to block the advance of the Sun Moon Empire.

Therefore, in his mind, the Sun Moon Empire could spare everyone but him.

In reality, if Lin Po hadn't promised to spare his life and hand him over to Huo Yuhao, no one would have cared about this sick cat that would be blasted to death with a single shot.

On the contrary, the millions of ordinary people in Douluo Continent seemed to be unaffected, continuing to work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

This is because, for this group, no matter how tense and turbulent the situation on the mainland is, it has nothing to do with them.

Instead of worrying about the world, we should think more about when the grain will ripen and whether the crops can survive the dry season.

Because they are just a group of unarmed ordinary people.

Even if they were willing to resist, how much of a ripple could they ultimately create?

Besides, it's just war.

It's nothing more than running away for a while, going hungry for a while, and at worst, dying once.

Even in peacetime, they didn't necessarily eat their fill or live a very comfortable life.

There isn't much difference in comparison.

Moreover, Her Majesty the Empress has issued a proclamation across the continent: the people will not be harmed in any place the sun and moon pass through; this trip is only aimed at the royal family and unscrupulous nobles.

The supreme position carries the weight of a single word.

Presumably, as long as they behave themselves, the army of the Sun and Moon Empire will not make things difficult for a group of poor people.

Why should they rush to resist?

This idea perfectly illustrates the age-old argument that "the rise and fall of the nation brings suffering to the people."

Thus, the only suffering group on the mainland was born.

The nobles, both large and small, who had been running rampant in the two countries for many years, were now living in constant fear, terrified that a blade might be placed at their throats at any moment.

He squandered his fortune in an attempt to salvage his reputation.

They sold their possessions and waited for an opportunity to hide in the deep mountains.

Those who do things their own way and continue to enjoy the good times.

Nothing more than that.

. . .

By August, the Moon Soul Empress, true to her word, said she would beat you in three months, and she did, without fail.

The moment the three armies received the order, the Sun Moon Empire's three armies advanced simultaneously, heading straight for the Star Luo Empire, intending to fight 500,000 against 200,000. However, under the fierce offensive of the three major Soul Master Corps—the Terror Claw, the New Imperial Dragon, and the Fire Phoenix—the more than 500,000 elite troops on the Star Luo border were annihilated at the first touch.

They offered no effective resistance whatsoever.

During this period, a large number of talented and ambitious individuals emerged in the Sun and Moon Army.

However, the most eye-catching among them were a blue-haired boy with sparkling eyes and powerful punches, and an angel girl with wings on her back, radiating a holy light.

And another female commander in the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentorship who strategizes and plans meticulously.

The blue-haired boy, needless to say, was none other than Huo Yuhao, who had rushed back to the Sun and Moon border from the Heavenly Soul Realm after a long journey and strongly requested to participate in the war.

With the assistance of the 'Dual Origin Soul Crystals', the Spirit Eye Martial Soul and the Ice Bear Martial Soul were released simultaneously.

While providing strong support to the soldiers around him, the immense strength granted by the Ice Bear Martial Soul and the perfectly matched level-six soul tool with the frost made him invincible among the crowd.

Ye Guyi, the owner of the Angelic Martial Soul, wielded the Angelic Holy Sword and a level-six longsword soul tool. He single-handedly charged in and out of the Star Luo Legion seven times, becoming an unparalleled figure for a time.

Holding the command flag to command half the army, Ju Zi was a brilliant strategist. On the battlefield, he repeatedly won with fewer troops, and with an overwhelmingly inferior force, he decimated the Xingluo army.

So much so that after the war, she was given the titles of "Heavenly Eye," "Saintess," and "Military Princess."

At the same time, Empress Yuehun, who was once again leading her army to conquer Xingluo, also noticed the three who were displaying great power and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Indeed, just as Xiao Po evaluated, they have great potential for development. Great-grandfather, I trouble you to continue to train them well, as they will be useful for Xiao Po's future conquests beyond the realm."

Kong Deming: ".Okay."

He's over 150 years old and still has a life of constant toil! He must have owed Lin a debt in his past life!
The Star Luo Empire's border defenses were practically nonexistent. The battle lasted only three hours from start to finish, before the sun had even set.

With the last obstacle removed, the Sun and Moon Army, having suffered minimal losses, abandoned their captured supplies and immediately set off for Xingluo City.

With the support of a large number of storage soul tools, the three major soul master regiments traveled light.

By noon the day after tomorrow, the Soul Master Corps would be the first to arrive at the foot of Star Luo City, guarding Empress Moon Soul and awaiting the final battle.

As both armies stood solemnly, a sudden commotion arose from the orderly arrangement of the tall city walls.

The next second, Xu Jiawei strode confidently to the edge of the city wall and stood there, showing none of the demeanor of a ruler who was about to destroy a country.

His piercing eyes swept across the area below, then he shouted loudly:
"Empress Moon Soul, how have you been! It's truly ironic that we met again after all these years at Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress stepped forward and responded loudly.

"Since you already know that destiny is in my hands, why are you stubbornly resisting here?"

"Hahaha! Is there even a question! As long as I stand here, I am the emperor of the Star Luo Empire! When have you ever seen a ruler who has abandoned his country?"

"If there were no war, you would be a qualified emperor."

After saying that, Empress Yuehun waved her jade hand, and five figures rose into the air, each exuding the aura of a Super Douluo.

"So this is the soul tool of the Sun Moon Empire? It truly is a treasure of humanity!"

Xu Jiawei stared intently at the five suits of armor emitting different lights in the sky, muttering to himself.

Then, with a long roar, the Star Crown Martial Soul was activated, and nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared behind him, propelling him straight into the sky.

Several titled Douluo from the Star Crown Sect and the royal family followed closely behind, ready to fight the Sun Moon Empire.

However, how could a few ordinary titled Douluo possibly be a match for five Super Douluo?

In a short while, apart from Xu Jiawei who still had the strength to fight, everyone else was seriously injured and landed on the ground, their soul power sealed by the Sun and Moon Army that had been waiting for them.

Seeing this, a silver moon appeared behind Empress Moon Soul, followed by a hundred beams of moonlight. With just this one strike, Xu Jiawei was already seriously injured.

"Why don't you kill me? Does Your Majesty Moon Soul think I'll beg for mercy?!"

"Today you have been defeated, and the Star Luo Empire no longer exists. Why should I pursue you to the bitter end? Besides, you still have a younger sister waiting for you."

"Furthermore, from today onwards, you are no longer the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, but merely the Sect Master of the Star Crown Sect of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Jiawei."

This verdict left Xu Jiawei utterly exhausted, unable to straighten his back as emperor any longer.

But it also relieved him of a great burden, and he finally smiled after a long time.

"Is that so? Hahaha."

With the matter of Xingluo settled, it's time to send troops to Tianhun!
