Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

"XiXi, I have to go now..."

"I've made you wait for me for so many years, wasting so many of your youth. I'm so sorry..."

A few days later, Tang Chen, after reuniting with Poseidon, was on his last breath due to a physical breakdown.

At this moment, Tang Chen no longer possessed any of the aura of a master; he resembled a dying old man, exuding an aura of death.

"Don't worry, I'll be here to keep you company soon..."

Poseidon held the dying Tang Chen and offered words of comfort.

She knew that Su Mo would soon complete the eighth trial of the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and then begin the ninth trial, which would mean that her sacrifice would not be far off.

Poseidon used to feel resentful, but now that she's with Tang Chen, she's not so resentful anymore.

She would naturally feel fear and resentment when facing death, but once Tang Chen's wish was fulfilled, she no longer cared so much about life and death.

"No... Xixi, you'll be alright..."

Hearing Poseidon's words, Tang Chen was moved, but he didn't expect Poseidon to end her life so soon.

hum-

So immediately afterward, Tang Chen summoned the Asura Blood Sword, which hovered in front of the two of them.

"...cough cough..."

"Xixi, this Asura Blood Sword contains all my cultivation. When you begin the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, you can choose to sacrifice the soul power within this sword, but please do not sacrifice yourself..."

Tang Chen's body had collapsed, but his cultivation level remained intact.

However, his body could not be restored, so Tang Chen sealed all his cultivation into the Asura Blood Sword.

He only thought of helping Poseidon after he learned that Su Mo was completing the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

He had already wronged Poseidon, so he did not want Poseidon to sacrifice herself for someone else's divine trial.

If he hadn't known Poseidon's personality, he would have thought of persuading Poseidon to kill Su Mo directly. He was no match for Su Mo, but Poseidon on the high seas might be a different story.

Moreover, even if you can't kill Su Mo, don't sacrifice yourself. If Su Mo wants to start the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, let Su Mo figure out a way himself.

Of course, Tang Chen didn't tell Poseidon any of this, because he knew about Poseidon's faith in the sea god, and it would be useless for him to tell her.

As for whether the Asura Blood Sword, whose cultivation he had sealed, could replace the sacrifice, he couldn't really guarantee it, but he felt it was still worth a try.

It doesn't matter if we fail anyway.

He was grateful to Su Mo for his help, which brought him back to his senses and allowed him to meet Poseidon.

But it was indeed Su Mo's attack that left him with little life left; one could say that Su Mo killed him.

Therefore, between Su Mo and Poseidon, he naturally chose to help Poseidon.

If Su Mo were his junior or a disciple of the Haotian Sect, the situation would definitely be different.

Unfortunately, Su Mo was not.

"XiXi, promise me!"

"Even for my sake, don't give up your life..."

After weakly uttering his last words, Tang Chen breathed his last and his body gradually dissipated.

Only the Asura Blood Sword remained.

……

Su Mo was unaware of Tang Chen's death and his actions before his death, and did not pay any attention to them.

However, he could guess that Tang Chen was probably close to dying.

He wasn't in a hurry to go to Poseidon Island to confirm; it wouldn't be too late to go after unifying the continent.

By then, Tang Chen was definitely dead.

Su Mo is currently busy unifying the continent!

The Star Luo Empire was only able to catch its breath during the previous war because of the intervention of the Haotian Sect and other sects.

After all, with the addition of the Clear Sky Sect, the number of Title Douluos on the Star Luo Empire side increased dramatically, and their top combat power was stronger than that of the Heaven Dou Empire when Su Mo did not make a move.

It was only because the Heaven Dou Empire had a larger number of Soul Masters of other levels and ordinary soldiers, apart from the Title Douluo powerhouses, that the Star Luo Empire was unable to launch a counterattack, which is why the war between the two empires became a stalemate.

Su Mo hadn't made a move before because he wanted to reach level 99 as soon as possible.

Of course, another reason is to guard against the Spirit Hall.

At that time, the Spirit Hall was still under the control of Pope Bibi Dong, who was Su Mo's enemy.

Now that the Pope of the Spirit Hall has been possessed by Bibi Dong and is one of her own, Su Mo naturally has nothing to worry about.

In the past few days, those forces that had secretly sided with the Spirit Hall and joined the sects have come to surrender one after another under Bibi Dong's instructions, further tilting the balance of power.

Su Mo no longer intends to keep the Star Luo Empire.

"I have decided to personally lead the expedition!"

"Zhao Wuji, the army is now in your hands!"

Su Mo summoned Zhao Wuji and gave him instructions.

As if born for the battlefield, Zhao Wuji, after joining the Heaven Dou Empire, was thrown into the army by Su Mo. He displayed unparalleled talent as a commander and was eventually appointed by Su Mo as the commander of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"His Majesty……"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Zhao Wuji was immediately taken aback.

Zhao Wuji wanted to persuade Su Mo, but Su Mo interrupted him before he could even open his mouth.

"With me here, all enemies are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs!"

"You don't need to worry about anything else!"

Su Mo said domineeringly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Zhao Wuji's expression immediately changed, and he quickly agreed.

His achievements today are all thanks to Su Mo.

Therefore, he would resolutely carry out any order given by Su Mo.

The army of the Heavenly Dou Empire, under the command of Zhao Wuji, began to assemble.

Subsequently, a million-strong army, under Su Mo's personal command, marched directly towards the Star Luo Empire.

The Star Luo Empire received the news very quickly.

"Is the Heavenly Dou Empire planning a final, all-or-nothing battle?"

Emperor Xingluo was somewhat puzzled, and his expression became very solemn.

"Since Tian Dou wants a decisive battle, then let's fight!"

"With the Heaven Dou army all gathered together, it's more suitable for us Title Douluos to take action. The outcome will depend on our individual abilities!"

"That's right, we couldn't be happier!"

"The Heaven Dou Sect only has a few Title Douluos, what makes them think they can fight us to the death!"

"Since Tian Dou is determined to die, then we'll grant their wish!"

"..."

The elders of the Haotian Sect all spoke up.

"That's true, but I'm afraid the Spirit Hall might be watching us like a hawk!"

"What exactly is Heaven Dou thinking? Have they forgotten about the existence of the Spirit Hall?"

Tang Xiao, however, was not so optimistic and said with concern.

"That's right. If we fight a decisive battle with the Heavenly Fighter, we'll inevitably suffer heavy losses, which will only benefit the Spirit Hall!"

Emperor Xingluo wholeheartedly agreed with Tang Xiao's words, as this was his main concern.

"Regardless, let's first assemble our army and confront Tian Dou!"

"If Tian Dou truly insists on going its own way, then we have no choice but to fight him to the end!"

"..."
