Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 477 Changes in the Situation

Reclaiming the Mingdou Mountains and using them as a base will make it even more difficult for the Sun Moon Empire to reclaim and invade the Star Luo Empire. Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire is currently vulnerable internally. Once the Mingdou Mountains are breached, the rest of the empire will be uncharted territory!

The titled Douluo were filled with excitement at this moment.

The situation in the Mingdou Mountains is largely settled. After all, the Sun Moon Empire did not station many troops here. When the Death God Tower left, it was destined that the defense here had failed. This time, although not many soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire were killed, the Sun Moon Empire left behind a lot of soul tools that they could not take with them. For the Star Luo Empire, this was already a considerable gain.

Moreover, they also killed a ninth-level Soul Master of the Sun Moon Empire, Mad Bull Douluo, the leader of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps, Wang Yiheng. The fall of any Title Douluo is a major event. Whether it is the Sun Moon Empire or the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, the loss of a Title Douluo would be extremely painful.

Ji Lin and the others did not stay where they were, but headed towards the Northwest Army Group's main camp. Their mission was complete, and the rest should be handed over to Duke Baihu.

Seeing Ji Lin return safely, Xu Jiujiu, who had been waiting at the camp gate, breathed a sigh of relief. The moment Chi Yuan suddenly tore through space and left, she knew that Ji Lin had encountered a powerful enemy. Although she was very worried, there was nothing she could do but silently pray that Ji Lin would be safe and sound.

The energy surge that erupted atop the highest peak of the Mingdu Mountains confirmed her suspicions: Ji Lin had encountered an enemy that only Chi Yuan could defeat. Keep in mind that Ji Lin had brought twelve Title Douluos with her, including two Super Douluos! Even so, the only enemy she couldn't defeat was an Ultimate Douluo.

However, not long after, the Sun Moon Empire's army and Soul Masters began a large-scale retreat. She instantly knew that Chi Yuan and Ji Lin had succeeded and the enemy had been defeated.

She then handed everything over to Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan and ran back to the camp alone to wait, wanting to confirm as soon as possible whether Ji Lin was safe and sound.

Looking at the princess standing gracefully at the entrance of the camp, Ji Lin smiled and spread his arms wide, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Xu Jiujiu glared at Ji Lin with a hint of annoyance, but still ran over and threw herself into Ji Lin's arms. Shattered Star Douluo and the others smiled in unison, then silently left, leaving the space and time to the lovers.

With the Mingdou Mountains reclaimed, the entire continent's situation will change. As for how the Star Luo Empire will wage war against the Sun Moon Empire, that's Duke Baihu's business. For Ji Lin, the most important thing right now is the princess in his arms.

At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the tents of the Northwest Army Group, they fell directly on Xu Jiujiu's beautiful face. Ji Lin raised his hand to shield Xu Jiujiu from the sunlight.

Although his movements were very gentle, they still woke the sleeping princess. When she opened her eyes, her large, wine-red eyes were still a little blurry. The first thing she saw was Ji Lin's handsome profile.

Instantly, the haze in her beautiful eyes disappeared, and after a long while, a trace of tenderness flashed in her big, beautiful eyes. She propped herself up, and the blanket slid down her shoulders, revealing her smooth, jade-like skin.

Last night, Ji Lin and his team successfully completed their mission, helping the Star Luo Empire reclaim the Mingdou Mountains and thus threaten the Sun Moon Empire's homeland. Their strategic objective has been achieved.

Xu Jiujiu felt much less pressure, so she indulged herself a little that night. After all, the two of them hadn't been intimate for a long time while they were in the military camp.

While the two returned to their camp and were enjoying their time together, Duke White Tiger had already dispatched a large army to the Mingdou Mountains overnight to rebuild their defenses. He also immediately sent dozens of Soul Master squads to infiltrate the Sun Moon Empire and cause trouble, all in an effort to draw the Sun Moon Empire's attention and buy time for the Heavenly Soul Empire.

As for how effective it will be, that remains to be seen.

With Duke Baihu's battlefield instincts, he wouldn't make the same mistake again after suffering a loss once. The elite army of the Star Luo Empire is all in the Mingdou Mountains. Even if the Sun Moon Empire sends a large army to attack again, it will take a lot of effort to retake the Mingdou Mountains. Moreover, the main force of the Sun Moon Empire is currently all with the Heavenly Soul Empire.

However, in Ji Lin's view, the Star Luo Empire could only cause the Sun Moon Empire a little trouble. With Death God Douluo Ye Xishui around, unless Chi Yuan also followed the army, the Sun Moon Empire would be hard to be seriously damaged.

However, Chi Yuan has now reached a critical moment and needs to go into seclusion to break through her cultivation. Her cultivation should not be disturbed at will. For Ji Lin, between the two options of attacking the Sun Moon Empire and Chi Yuan's breakthrough in cultivation, Chi Yuan's breakthrough is of course the most important.

Therefore, Ji Lin refused the White Tiger Duke's request for Chi Yuan to help, explaining that Chi Yuan was about to break through. The White Tiger Duke also knew that at Chi Yuan's level, any opportunity for a small breakthrough was rare and hard to come by, so he had no choice but to give up asking Chi Yuan to help.

Moreover, not all Limit Douluo are like Ye Xishui, who directly participates in the war. As the highest combat power in the Douluo Continent, they generally do not easily take action.

The power of a Limit Douluo may not change a war, but the deterrent power of a Limit Douluo is enough to turn the tide of a battle.

The Holy Spirit Cult has two Limit Douluos, Death God Douluo Ye Xishui and Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, and they are fully supporting the Sun Moon Empire. This is extremely disadvantageous for the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent.

The balance of this war has completely tilted in favor of the Sun Moon Empire. Although the Star Luo Empire has recaptured the Mingdou Mountain Range, what about the future? What will the future hold? Although the Sun Moon Empire's army is on the side of the Heavenly Soul Empire, with the Death God Douluo Ye Xishui in charge, and without Chi Yuan to restrain Ye Xishui, it is unknown how many Star Luo Empire soldiers and soul masters will suffer annihilation.

Ji Lin couldn't let Chi Yuan focus her energy on the battlefield. Her most important task now was to gather her divine consciousness and then form her own divine position. Of course, the formation of the divine position could be postponed. Although there was a God of Destruction in the God Realm, and Chi Yuan had the opportunity to entrust her divine position to the God Realm, Ji Lin didn't want to attract the attention of the God Realm so quickly. Moreover, once Chi Yuan became a god, she would soon have to go to the God Realm and could no longer interfere in the affairs of Douluo Continent. This was not a good thing for Ji Lin.

Three days passed quickly. Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu remained in the military camp. Good news came from the front lines: the Sun Moon Empire was indeed vulnerable, and Duke Baihu's strategy was very successful. The Soul Master legions that had dispersed into the Sun Moon Empire's territory were wreaking havoc, causing considerable losses to the Sun Moon Empire. In terms of numbers, the Star Luo Empire had far more Soul Masters than the Sun Moon Empire's retreating Soul Masters, and even more powerful ones. For a time, the Sun Moon Empire was in a state of chaos, and several cities had already been captured by the Star Luo Empire.

However, Duke Baihu was extremely strict in governing his army. After the city was breached, ordinary civilians were not allowed to be harmed. After looting the official granaries and armories, they immediately withdrew from the city.

Occupying cities is not their strategic goal, and excessive destruction is not the style of the White Tiger Duke. Plundering resources is much more effective and can also replenish the Star Luo Empire's own resources.

Those who went into battle were all Soul Masters, and many of them had storage Soul Guidance Equipment, making it incredibly easy for them to plunder.

Suddenly, the eastern border of the Sun Moon Empire was in dire straits.

Although information is currently scarce and the reactions of the Sun Moon Empire and the situation on the Heavenly Soul Empire's side are unknown, the actions of the Star Luo Empire will undoubtedly ease the overall war situation.

After Death God Douluo Ye Xishui left, he never appeared again. At least, after the Star Luo Empire marched into the Sun Moon Empire, they did not encounter this terrifying Limit Douluo again. But no matter what, this Limit Douluo was like a huge shadow, always looming over the Star Luo Empire, making them always on edge and ready to counterattack at any time.

But there's nothing we can do about it. With a Limit Douluo lurking around, even with Chi Yuan, it's impossible to protect everyone. Besides, Chi Yuan doesn't have the time right now.

The situation on the mainland is now in chaos. Ji Lin has written to Wang Qiu'er and the others, telling them to cultivate in peace at the Zizai Sect. Only strength can enable them to protect themselves on this turbulent continent.

After Ji Lin broke through to Soul Saint, he was no longer limited by his ultimate attribute. In addition, he had a Soul Core to accelerate his cultivation. His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and he is now at level 76. Keep in mind that it has only been a little over a year since he broke through to Soul Saint.

The higher the Soul Master's level, the slower the leveling speed. When one reaches the Title Douluo level, it may take several years to break through one level, and when one reaches the Super Douluo level, it may take several decades to break through one level.

Ji Lin was able to maintain this cultivation speed by condensing his first soul core in advance, which allowed him to cultivate automatically. It should be noted that Ling Luochen and Meng Hongchen, who had broken through to the Soul Saint level before him, have now been surpassed by him.

However, Wang Qiu'er and the others are all geniuses. They have also eaten the immortal herbs that Ji Lin brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Their cultivation speed is incomparable to that of ordinary soul masters. At their current cultivation speed, it is no problem for them to break through to the Title Douluo level before the age of thirty. If they have other fortuitous encounters, they may be able to break through to the Title Douluo level even faster. Just like Ye Guyi, if she kills a few more Title Douluo-level evil soul masters, she may even be able to break through to the Title Douluo level before the age of twenty-five. Of course, the premise is that she has that many Title Douluo-level evil soul masters to kill.

Ji Lin, on the other hand, is only eighteen years old. He is confident that he can break through to Soul Douluo before the age of twenty, and to Title Douluo before the age of twenty-five, or even faster.
