Soon, until night fell, neither of the two nearly decimated Heavenly Soul armies launched an attack, until two more Soul Master armies simultaneously arrived from other directions, putting pressure on the Star Dou garrison's defensive line.

Meanwhile, the Star Dou Second Soul Guidance Device Legion completed its rear deployment, and the Third Legion's weapons and equipment were also fully replenished. Soon, together with the four Heavenly Soul Armies that were preparing to launch a night attack, a total of more than 40,000 people, the Star Dou defenders' positions were once again filled with dazzling artillery barrages, bombarding the abandoned first position in front of them!

The distance between the first and second positions was carefully measured by the Star Guardians, and many of the defensive fortifications on these positions had loopholes that could be breached from the rear!

Therefore, although it was night, it shone like daytime amidst the continuous roar of artillery fire. Countless soul rings burst forth with dazzling light, blooming, dimming, and dissipating in the artillery fire. The Star Dou defenders had no idea about the enemy's casualties because the scene was too chaotic, with explosions everywhere. Their only task was to unleash endless soul power shells on the mission coordinates.

Bang! ! !

Suddenly, amidst the continuous bombardment, a powerful pressure capable of influencing the environment and the heavens appeared in the air above the Heavenly Soul Army's territory!

Five massive Martial Soul True Forms appeared simultaneously above the Heavenly Soul Army, which was reeling from the bombardment, and together they deployed a thick Soul Power Barrier, shutting out all the artillery fire from the Star Dou Guards' rear!

Five Title Douluos? They're really going all out!

On the second position, Ye Cheng watched as the Heavenly Soul Army, who had been completely overwhelmed by the sudden and intense artillery bombardment from his side, slowly gathered under the protection of the soul power barrier of the five Title Douluos, and then gradually advanced towards them, much like the Xuan Turtle Soul Saint who had been at the forefront before.

"Artillery cover, continue the retreat!"

Seeing that the five titled Douluo elders of the Heavenly Soul Empire had learned their lesson and were no longer acting alone, but instead covering the advance of friendly forces, Ye Cheng had no good solutions. Only the [Awakening Insect] level soul-guided cannons could threaten titled Douluo, and since they had not yet accurately determined the key coordinates of the remaining Heavenly Soul troops behind them, they could not so easily expose Xing Dou's trump card.

Thus, with the distant artillery support of the Second Army Corps, the Third Army Corps, located at the front line and led by the Vanguard Army Corps, gradually retreated to the rear while fighting.

The artillery fire from Xingdou continued until late at night. Under the protection of the Title Douluo, the Tianhun army finally managed to break through the second line of defense of the Xingdou garrison. However, it goes without saying that it is still fifty or sixty kilometers away from Truth City. The journey there will still be like this, with the army having to endure heavy artillery fire from Xingdou.

The four exhausted Heavenly Soul armies that captured the second position of Star Dou conducted a casualty statistic after the battle and found that more than 10,000 of the 40,000 troops that had just been replenished had been killed by bombs!

Most of them were turned into cannon fodder in the early stages of the Star Dou Army's bombardment. After the Title Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire intervened to protect them, the rate of casualties slowed down considerably. This undoubtedly gave them a boost of confidence. Otherwise, their Heavenly Soul Empire Sea God Alliance Army, which claimed to have an army of 100,000 Soul Masters, would have been doomed and could have surrendered immediately. After a day of fighting, they hadn't seen a single enemy soldier, while their own side had lost nearly 20,000 men.

Under the protection of the titled Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire, these people finally got a good rest for a day. At the same time, the Heavenly Soul Sea God Alliance in the rear began to attack other parts of the Star Dou Empire. The results were relatively smooth. As long as they could eventually meet up in Truth City, break through Truth City, and open the gates of the Star Dou Empire, their early losses could be replenished from the Star Dou Empire's stockpile of soul power core [Pandora].

Because Pandora is an external soul power aid for cultivation, it can be taken away.

This feature was not noticed by anyone when the Star Dou Empire was still very powerful, because other countries used Pandora Cores on powerful and influential Soul Masters, while the Star Dou Empire distributed Pandora Cores to commoners.

Other countries can't compete for Pandora Cores, and the common people of the Star Dou Empire dare not try to take them. This is because, although Pandora Cores can be stripped away, there has never been a case of anyone trying to steal one.

Having mastered the correct methods of using Title Douluo, the Heavenly Soul Army, after being replenished with a mix of Soul Masters and ordinary people, continued its advance towards Truth City under the protection of the Title Douluo!

One day later, the third Star Dou line was breached.

Two days later, the fourth Star Dou line was breached.

Five days later, the fifth Star Dou formation was breached.

Despite the protection of the Title Douluo, they still suffered more than 10,000 casualties and were kited by the Star Dou Army all the way to Truth City. The Sea God Alliance of the Heavenly Soul Empire, with 70,000 troops, finally met up on the outskirts of Truth City.

The Heavenly Soul and Sea God Alliance was stationed on the outskirts of Truth City, thirty kilometers away. Twenty kilometers ahead of them was Truth City's last long defensive line that stretched all the way to Truth City.

"So, you don't even know what the Star Dou Army looks like?!"

In a secluded camp heavily protected by Title Douluos, the Heavenly Soul Emperor, escorted by the Wind Patrol Douluo, personally arrived at the front lines and launched into a tirade against the leaders of the various legions of the Heavenly Soul Sea God Alliance: "The enemy hasn't even had a single Title Douluo make a move! And we've already suffered such heavy losses!!!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The loss of Soul Masters can be replenished after the city of Truth is breached. This time, we can confirm one thing: the only powerful figure stationed in Truth City is Ye Guyi, who holds the title of [Angel]. Compared to Dou Ling, who is currently entangled with the Demon King of Dawn City in the mountains, our situation is already much better."

At this moment, an elder of the Xuan Shui Sect with the title "Xuan Gui" stepped forward and explained to the Heavenly Soul Emperor.

"..." Upon hearing Xuan Turtle Douluo's words, Emperor Tianhun couldn't help but think of the predicament of the more than 100,000 troops of the Douling Empire, who were unable to advance even a single step in the southern mountains of Douling. Although his own side had suffered 30,000 non-combat casualties, they had still made progress and broken through to the northern gateway of the Star Dou Empire—the City of Truth. As long as they could capture this city, the national strength of the Tianhun Empire would not only double, but at least there would be a chance to conquer the Douling Empire and rebuild the glory of the former Tiandou Empire.

"What does Sect Master Tang say? You've seen the level of soul tools the Star Dou Empire has developed along the way. The defenses of Truth City are very difficult for us to break through on our own."

Emperor Tianhun was very self-aware. He did not believe that with the current situation where titled Douluo could only be used as humanoid defensive soul tools, his 70,000 Sea God Allied Army and the 50,000 reinforcements on their way could take down that terrifying soul tool city.

This is practically like sending cavemen to breach a modern military fortress.

He used to think that with his country having about ten Title Douluos, plus the help of established sects like the Xuan Shui Sect, conquering a city with only one Title Douluo, who was just a level 95 Super Douluo, would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—it would be a complete disaster!

Those mosquitoes were really numb from the explosion!

Therefore, the Heavenly Soul Emperor drew everyone's attention to a young and beautiful woman with long black-purple hair, but who seemed to be very taciturn. She came with the Heavenly Soul Emperor and was the current leader of the Tang Sect, who possessed the Sea God's inheritance manual. She had a mutated super martial soul, the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, and her strength had increased rapidly at a young age. She had just broken through to the Soul Saint level 71, a control-type Soul Saint, in the war a few days ago.

At the same time, he was also appointed by the Heavenly Soul Emperor as the Sea God's representative in the human world.

"Our ancestors said that the most fortified castles are often breached from within."

Tang Ya's voice carried a chilling coldness that made every sect elder or legion leader present avoid her gaze.

Among the crowd, a burly young man standing next to Xuan Turtle Douluo had been in a state of astonishment ever since Tang Ya was brought into the tent by the Heavenly Soul Emperor.

He didn't understand why Tang Ya, who was already able to get away, insisted on getting involved in the mess between the Sea God and the Starry Sky. As the young sect leader of the Xuan Shui Sect, and with the sect taking the initiative to choose sides, he had no choice but to follow the sect's lead.

But even if the young man wanted to say something, he had no right to speak at the scene, so he could only silently watch Tang Ya walk further and further away from his good brother Bei Bei.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan chose to close their mountain and did not join the Heavenly Soul Empire's camp. Meanwhile, under Zhang Lexuan's leadership, Bodien Academy released all its research results and then closed the school with the teachers and students who were willing to stay.

But Tang Ya, how is Bei Bei supposed to handle this?

Xu Sanshi, who remained unnoticed in the crowd, was unaware, or rather, he didn't want to know.

"Sect Leader Tang, could you please explain this more clearly?"

Seeing that Tang Ya's words were so ambiguous, Emperor Tianhun subconsciously asked a question.

Tang Ya, however, sighed with a sorrowful expression: "Of the three main cities of the Star Dou Empire, Star Dou City, which has no city walls, is the weakest in terms of defense. Next is Dawn City, which has the barrier of mountains and the protection of the sea. The most difficult to conquer is Truth City, which is built on a well-connected plain. Theoretically, that's how it is, but in reality, it's the opposite."

"The City of Truth was built in the wrong place."

Tang Ya, her expression somewhat somber, addressed the crowd: "Everyone, please attack. Our ancestor, the Sea God, will aid you at the crucial moment."

After receiving 50,000 reinforcements from the rear, the Heavenly Soul Sea God Alliance formed a total of 120,000 Sea God Alliance troops. They dispersed their forces and launched an attack on the last line of defense of Truth City from three sides!

Before parting, Xu Sanshi finally found Tang Ya and sighed, "May I ask... why?"

However, he saw Tang Ya numbly shedding cold tears, and she coldly said, "I don't know."

Xu Sanshi remained silent and did not ask any further questions. Instead, he turned and left, disappearing into the military camp.

Immediately afterwards, the pre-marked soul-swapping skill was activated, and he disappeared while the Sea God Alliance was rushing towards the City of Truth.

Yes, Xu Sanshi escaped amidst the chaos of battle.

No one in the Sea God Alliance army, advancing at full speed, noticed Xu Sanshi's departure, except for the Xuan Turtle Douluo. However, he did not show any impatience. Instead, he opened his Martial Soul Shield and stood at the forefront of the army, enduring the overwhelming firepower that was already putting pressure on him, protecting the Sea God Alliance army as it slowly moved forward.

"Lock on those Title Douluos, fire on the day of Jingzhe!"

Surrounded by mechanical energy wings and angelic wings, Ye Guyi, like a battlefield Valkyrie, hovered silently in the air above Truth City, watching the Sea God Alliance army struggling to advance amidst artillery fire under the protection of Title Douluo, and decisively gave the order.

boom! boom! boom!

A thunderous sound roared out from the rear of Truth City, and projectiles like white lasers struck the protective soul power barriers of the Title Douluos like thunderclaps!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Huge, muffled, chest-suffocating blasts kept hitting those Title Douluos who had abandoned their speed advantage and focused on building shields!

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty shells completely enveloped the five Title Douluos at the forefront of the Sea God Alliance!

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The four explosions that rang out almost simultaneously blasted away the four Title Douluos, along with their Martial Soul True Bodies, except for the Xuan Turtle Douluo who was known for his defensive prowess!

Along with them, a large portion of the Poseidon Alliance forces under their protection were instantly shattered!

"Truth gathers power, annihilating the enemy!"

hum! ! !

The soul-guiding patterns on the metal walls of Truth City began to flash, and a large amount of energy continuously gathered from all parts of the city towards the huge [Truth] Soul Cannon in the central square. A large number of energy particles formed a magnificent virtual energy track in front of the [Truth] Soul Cannon, and the soul power within a radius of ten miles began to show a significant siphon effect. This astonishing change naturally alarmed everyone on the battlefield.

The reason why Ye Guyi and Ye Cheng were willing to let the Poseidon Alliance get so close to Truth City was to ensure that the Poseidon Alliance could not run out of the range of the Truth Cannon during the charging period of the Truth Cannon.

At close range, the [Awakening] Soul Cannon, capable of shattering a Title Douluo, was firing continuously. To retreat, they had to accept the threat of being wiped out by the [Truth] Cannon in one shot. In an instant, the Sea God Alliance, who had just been chatting and laughing, faced two life-or-death choices: to charge into Truth City under the [Awakening] Cannon's firepower, or to leave the [Awakening] Cannon's range and enter the [Truth] Cannon's range.

"What do we do?! They've been hiding all along!!!"

"Charge?! Even a Title Douluo was instantly blasted to pieces!!!"

"What on earth is happening inside the city?! Such a powerful energy reaction!!! We're going to die!!!"

Within seconds of [Awakening of Insects] firing, the Poseidon Alliance was thrown into chaos!

"Poseidon!! Save us!!"

"Help!! I surrender!!!"

The sudden turn of events threw the entire Heavenly Soul Sea God Allied Army into chaos. At the rear of the army, the Heavenly Soul Emperor, still shaken, anxiously said to Tang Ya beside him:

"What to do?! What to do?! Xingdou is still hiding his true strength!!!"

If he had known that Xingdou possessed such a terrifying soul tool, he would never have rebelled!

“Truly... an amazing creation.” A strange tone came from Tang Ya’s mouth.

"You?!" The Heavenly Soul Emperor looked at Tang Ya beside him with some surprise and doubt.

"Tang San is even more rigid than me, an ancient person. His belief coordinates and operating methods haven't changed at all."

Tang Ya's voice was filled with an indescribable antiquity and vicissitude, which made Emperor Tianhun so frightened that he dared not breathe.

"What do you want to do?!"

Another angry voice came from 'Tangya's' mouth again.

"I was just lamenting that you don't understand the changes in life, but these mortals still need to be saved."

'Tang Ya' muttered to herself, then looked at the colossal city of soul-guided artifacts that she considered a miracle, and sighed softly:

"Tang San, Sea God, please return me to me?"
