Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 345 The Angelic Test Begins

Sunset Forest.

Under the influence of the extraordinary celestial phenomena, all the spirit beasts in the forest knelt down in fear, not daring to move an inch.

Although the Soul Masters did not feel the same fear as the Soul Beasts, they still looked up at the dazzling golden pillar of light with great reverence. It was a reverence that resided deep in their souls, without the slightest hint of falsehood.

After a long while, Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes. The violent energy that had been released gradually subsided, his aura became more restrained, and all the power in his body was sublimated to the extreme in an instant.

With the Death Scythe in hand, a golden spirit ring condensed and took shape above the original nine red spirit rings.

This is a spirit ring formed by Xiao Yu using his own divine power. It is his natal spirit ring and the purest divine-level spirit ring.

Because Xiao Yu's accumulated energy during his breakthrough was already close to the level of a God King, the energy condensed in this God-level Soul Ring was extremely terrifying. Just a little bit of overflowing energy was enough to distort the surrounding space.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yu withdrew his martial spirit, and with a single step, disappeared from the spot, appearing in his room the next moment.

Inside the room, two stunningly beautiful figures eagerly awaited his return; they were none other than his two wives, Huo Wu and Ye Lingling.

"Xiao Yu, you succeeded!"

Upon seeing Xiao Yu appear, Huo Wu could not hide her excitement. She shouted excitedly and threw herself into Xiao Yu's arms.

Ye Lingling appeared slightly calmer than Huo Wu, but the heaving of her ample bosom revealed her current mood, and her eyes were filled with sparkling light.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and pulled Ye Lingling into his arms. The two women leaned against Xiao Yu's chest, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

After a long pause, Ye Lingling broke the silence first: "Brother Xiao Yu, you've broken through the final bottleneck. What are your plans next?"

Xiao Yu smiled calmly and did not answer Ye Lingling immediately. Instead, he waved his hand and used his immense divine power to isolate the entire room.

"Damn bastard!"

In the realm of gods, the Asura God, who had been silently observing, couldn't help but curse angrily, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with his behavior as an enforcer of the law, secretly cheating for the successor he had chosen.

Xiao Yu asked, "What has been the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire during the six months I was in seclusion?"

Ye Lingling, the capable wife, replied, "Everything in the Heaven Dou Empire is developing according to your plan, Brother Xiao Yu. Although some of the ducal kingdoms that originally belonged to the Martial Soul Empire put up a counterattack, they were quickly suppressed by us. There were also a few unruly fellows in the court, but they were quickly dealt with by Senior Dugu Bo and the others."

"It seems everything is ready; we're just waiting for the final command!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "We can inform Golong and tell him to prepare for war with the Star Luo Empire!"

Three days after Xiao Yu broke through to level 100, the Heaven Dou Empire officially issued a declaration of war, condemning the Star Luo Empire and the Haotian Sect for their despicable act of colluding to assassinate the previous Heaven Dou Emperor, Xue Qinghe.

Regent Xiao Yu personally led the expedition, with former Grand Marshal Ge Long of the Heaven Dou Empire as his deputy, commanding the Nine Star Palace Soul Master Legion and the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army to conquer the Star Luo Empire.

Xue Qinghe enjoys extremely high prestige among the people. Under such a banner, the entire Tiandou Empire is united in its hatred of the enemy, with those who have money contributing money and those who have strength contributing strength.

Furthermore, the soul tools developed by the Nine Star Palace have been widely used in the military, which has greatly widened the gap in military strength between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. In the clash between firearms and cold weapons, it is obvious who is superior and who is inferior.

In this way, the army of the Heavenly Dou Empire advanced with unstoppable momentum, and without even Xiao Yu having to take action, the million-strong army on the border of the Star Luo Empire was completely defeated.

Chaos reigned in the Star Luo court. The Star Luo Emperor was at a loss, and even Tang Yuehua, who always prided herself on her wisdom, was helpless in the face of the absolute difference in strength. She could only secretly pray that Tang San, Dai Mubai, and her grandfather, who had been rumored to be undergoing a divine test for several years, would return soon.

The Star Luo Empire sat idly by, awaiting its doom. The army of the Heavenly Dou Empire swept across the land, and the cities they encountered along the way could not stop their advance and were easily conquered. The territory of the Star Luo Empire fell at a visible speed.

Throughout the march, Xiao Yu strictly ordered the entire army to abide by military discipline, and anyone who disturbed the people would be executed.

After the city fell, Xiao Yu sent people to the grassroots to comfort the people and provide compensation to those whose houses were damaged in the war, so as to minimize the impact of the war on them.

The Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire were originally sworn enemies, and the people of the two countries were not particularly friendly to each other. The residents of the Star Luo Empire were even prepared to burn, kill, and loot after the Heaven Dou Empire's army broke into the city. However, under Xiao Yu's benevolent rule, everyone was grateful and even a number of people became his collaborators, which made the Heaven Dou Empire's army advance even faster.

In just three to five months, more than 80% of the once vast Xingluo Empire had fallen, and even the capital city of Xingluo was abandoned by the Xingluo Emperor.

There was nothing they could do about it. Under the intimidation of Xiao Yu, a level 100 expert, the Star Luo Emperor dared not leave himself in a city. After all, no one knew just how terrifying a level 100 expert was.

Under the relentless attacks of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire retreated again and again, showing signs of heading towards the coast. It seemed that if the situation turned bad, the Star Luo royal family and the Clear Sky Sect were preparing to sail to Seagod Island to eke out a living.

Just when the Star Luo Empire was in despair, Xiao Yu, the commander of the Heaven Dou Empire's army, quietly left the army one day and headed straight for Wuhun City.

Wuhun City, Angel Temple.

Qian Renxue stood quietly in the center of the temple, facing the huge six-winged angel statue. Her graceful and tall figure seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. Like the six-winged angel statue, Qian Renxue herself became the core of this temple.

Perhaps spurred by Xiao Yu's breakthrough to the god level, Qian Renxue also went all out for the final test. Now her strength has reached level ninety-nine, and even Qian Daoliu is no match for this granddaughter.

"This day has finally come!"

Qian Daoliu slowly emerged from behind the angel statue, gazing at his granddaughter with eyes full of pride and affection: "Xiaoxue, you are truly outstanding. Grandpa has always been proud of you!"

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu reached out and gently stroked Gan Renxue's head, his face full of affection. However, beneath this affection lay a faint reluctance. If he could, Qian Daoliu would truly want to see the moment his granddaughter became a god.
