Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 97 Domain

Under the watchful eyes of the three elders, the crimson light gradually dissipated, and the silver light gradually entered Xu Mingxi's head. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred.

"Get out, get out of here."

The First Elder was the first to notice the changes that were beginning to appear around Xu Mingxi. He didn't know what it was, so he quickly pulled the two elders back.

"Elder, what exactly happened? Is Mingxi alright?"

"I don't know, but we can't bother him. He has to rely on himself for everything."

The three elders only saw starlight appear around Xu Mingxi, gradually converging to form small stars floating around him.

Just then, Xu Mingxi's Star Crown Martial Soul appeared, and its eighth and ninth soul rings, both bright red, lit up simultaneously.

Eighth Soul Skill: Great Sun Across the Sky.

Ninth Soul Skill: Heavenly Wolf Worships the Moon.

Among the many stars, the golden-red sun and the silver crescent moon slowly rise, their intermingling creating a wondrous spectacle.

The area enveloped by starlight expanded instantly, including the three elders, who could feel the circulation and recovery of their soul power accelerating.

Xu Mingxi, who was sitting cross-legged amidst the sun, moon, and stars, opened his eyes. It seemed that gold, silver, and red light swirled within them. He looked at the surrounding scenery, felt the changes in his body, and understood.

He stood up and walked towards the three elders. The phantom of his Star Crown Martial Soul disappeared, and the sun, moon, and stars instantly turned into specks of light and vanished into the air.

The eldest elder excitedly surrounded them. His eldest grandson had finally become a Title Douluo. If they could successfully return to the Douluo Continent, the Star Crown Sect would definitely become even stronger.

"Mingxi, what happened just now? Why did I feel my soul power recovering faster? Even my Star Crown Martial Soul seemed to be vibrating."

"Grandpa, this is the domain I possessed after absorbing the Soul Ring of the Moon Worship Wolf King. I named it the Star Domain."

Within this domain, I can freely manipulate the sun, moon, and stars to launch attacks, and I gain a 30% overall boost, which also applies to Star Crown Martial Souls, although the boost will be reduced to 10%.

The Grand Elder was stunned. A domain! In the history of the Star Crown Sect, apart from the former ancestor Star Douluo, no one had ever possessed one.

Even for Star Douluo, according to the records, his domain effect was also an amplification, but the effect was definitely not this terrifying, let alone a full amplification.

Because of the existence of the same fourth soul skill, Star Guardian, the disciples of Star Crown Sect can fuse star power and are more adept at group combat. With this domain in place, even Qian Daoliu would not dare to directly attack Star Crown Sect.

"Alright, alright, Mingxi, let's return to Haidu now and search for a way back to Douluo Continent."

The Grand Elder was overjoyed. They had already exceeded expectations in their mission to this Sun and Moon Continent, and had even obtained a lot of information on soul tools in Sunrise City, including several level-eight soul tools. With this information, the strength of the Star Crown Sect would definitely see a significant boost.

Xu Mingxi nodded; he shared the same thought. If they didn't return soon, Tang San would grow up, and things would become very troublesome. He hoped Song Jiang would gain something from the situation. The four headed towards Haidu, but what they saw and learned as soon as they left the Lanto Great Forest and entered the territory of the Oran Empire greatly surprised them.

"Mingxi, the three great empires have actually gone to war. According to the city lord who just fled, the Sun Moon Empire has an absolute advantage and is about to unify the continent. What should we do now?"

After Xu Mingxi and the three elders disguised themselves and took a short rest in a small town, they never expected to hear such shocking news.

He had no idea that the war would break out so suddenly, but he had no intention of getting involved. The most important thing now was to return to Douluo Continent, which was his base.

By introducing soul tools in advance, coupled with the superior quality of soul masters in Douluo Continent compared to Sun Moon Continent, Douluo Continent can maintain an absolute advantage even if the two continents eventually come into contact.

"Grandpa, ignore them. Let's take a detour to Haidu. Song Jiang should be able to find a way to avoid this war."

The three elders nodded. They had no desire to fight to the death with the people of the Sun Moon Continent. Even the eldest elder, who had lost an arm because of Xu Zilong, did not want to get involved.

In this massive war, even a Title Douluo could very likely perish if drawn into it.

Indeed, this is true; on the main battlefields of the three great empires, some titled warriors have already fallen.

On the first day of the war, Xu Zilong personally descended onto the battlefield. The Grand General of the Otto Empire, the newly promoted Title Douluo Tuobo, activated his flying soul tool and rushed forward. However, in just a few minutes, he was beaten to a pulp.

Seeing that Tobo was about to perish, the old titled Douluo of the Otto Empire royal family could not hold back any longer. Despite being seriously injured, he forcibly knocked away Xu Yang, the titled Douluo of the Sun lineage of the Sun Moon Empire, and at the cost of his life, he forcibly self-destructed to repel Xu Zilong and save Tobo from danger.

Xu Zilong was slightly injured in the explosion. Tobo finally realized his weakness and retreated in time. By frantically detonating the level-eight soul tool he was carrying, he finally managed to safely return to the Otto Empire's army.

With Thoth's death, the balance of the battle has completely collapsed. Lan Che of the Oran Empire stopped Xu Yue, a titled Douluo from the Silver Moon lineage, and Tobo, together with several Soul Douluo generals, could barely hold off Xu Zilong. However, there were no more titled Douluos left to stop Xu Yang's slaughter.

At that moment, Emperor Tony of the Otto Empire appeared out of nowhere. He piloted the armored level nine soul tool passed down through generations of the Otto Empire, burning his life force to hold off Xu Yang, thus preventing the two empires from collapsing instantly.

But if the battle continued in this stalemate, the two great empires would eventually perish. Lan Che watched helplessly as the Oran Empire's army was killed in large numbers by the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided weapons, and tears streamed down his face.

He deliberately revealed a flaw, luring Xu Yue to pierce his heart. However, because he had absorbed a special soul bone from a cockroach soul beast, he could maintain his life for a period of time while in a near-death state.

With this soul bone skill, Lan Che severed Xu Yue's head with a single strike, much to Xu Yue's astonishment. Before the soul skill's effect wore off, he charged in front of Xu Zilong and recklessly self-destructed.

The consecutive self-destruction of two Title Douluos caused even someone as strong as Xu Zilong to cough up a mouthful of blood, and his level-nine defensive soul tool was completely shattered.

Tobo seized the opportunity and tried to pierce Xu Zilong's heart with a single shot, but Xu Zilong dodged it and the bullet only struck his shoulder.
