Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 145 The Great Battle Begins

Dai Yutian sat on the dragon throne, his laughter echoing throughout the palace.

Feeling his own immense power, he was filled with self-satisfaction.

He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fervor: "Two years ago, I had to endure everything due to my lack of strength, suppressing my restless ambition. Now that I finally have the power, how could I remain subservient to others for long! I will unify the continent!"

At this moment, supported by his own strength, Dai Yutian's ambition burned fiercely like dry tinder.

Dai Yutian's ambition stemmed not only from his own soul power reaching level ninety-five.

In the past two years, nearly thirty titled Douluo have emerged in the entire Star Luo Empire, besides him.

Thirty Title Douluos—what does that even mean!

Even the three upper sects only have one or a few titled Douluo.

This powerful lineup brought the Star Luo Empire's national strength to an unprecedented level in thousands of years.

In addition, the Star Luo Empire has always admired the strong and loved war, making him a true battle maniac.

Dai Yutian was able to maintain his position as emperor thanks to his own and his empress Zhu Yali's formidable strength.

Both of them are Titled Douluo at level 95, so their strength is undoubtedly strong.

Moreover, relying on their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, they established absolute prestige among the titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire.

In short, it means defeating them one by one.

Just then, Zhu Yali lifted the curtain and walked in, her cool voice ringing out.

"Your Majesty, they have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yutian burst into laughter, embracing Zhu Yali's slender waist with boundless pride: "Empress, let's go together. Today will be a day that will be remembered in the history of the Star Luo Empire."

"Of course, Your Majesty. Our hearts are united, and we can overcome anything. I've been waiting impatiently for this!"

As her husband, how could Zhu Yali not know Dai Yutian's thoughts?

At this moment, more than thirty titled Douluo gathered in the main hall of the Star Luo Empire's palace.

They exuded a powerful aura of soul power, and their eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

A voice rang out in the main hall. Before the person even arrived, an overwhelming aura swept out.

Then came a wild and domineering laugh: "Hahaha, I've kept my beloved subjects waiting!"

As expected of His Majesty, his strength has improved again!

The thirty-odd titled Douluo immediately restrained their auras and straightened their posture to pay their respects.

"His Majesty!"

Dai Yutian watched this scene with great satisfaction.

He held Zhu Yali as they sat down on the dragon throne, raising his hand slightly.

"My dear ministers, you may dispense with the formalities. I have summoned you here today to discuss some matters."

Upon hearing this, these titled Douluo were extremely excited, because they were not naive and could naturally guess Dai Yutian's thoughts.

Dai Yutian didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point: "Now that the Star Luo Empire has greatly increased in strength thanks to you all, the Star Luo land is ultimately too small. How can it possibly accommodate so many powerful individuals like us?"

Without giving anyone a chance to object, he continued, "The Heavenly Dragon Empire was formerly the Heavenly Dou Empire. It has only been two years since then, so its strength is likely nothing special. I propose we launch an attack on the Heavenly Dragon Empire. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, the group of Title Douluos in the hall immediately began to discuss among themselves.

These titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire were already warlike and eager for battle. After their strength increased dramatically in two years, they could no longer suppress their restlessness.

Now that Dai Yutian has taken the initiative to attack the Tianlong Empire, everyone feels that this is exactly what they wanted.

They were all plotting in their hearts how to occupy a region and become king after conquering the vast Tianlong Empire.

Dai Yutian understood as he looked at their expressions.

So he decided to add fuel to the fire, laughing as he said, "I promise that anyone who makes a contribution in the battle against the Heavenly Dragon Empire will receive a vast fiefdom. The Heavenly Dragon Empire is boundless; if I take a share, all of you ministers will also receive one. Such a wonderful deal, why not?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than one of the titled Douluo stepped forward.

This person is named Ling Leishi, whose martial soul is the Mad Thunder Pig. He is a level 91 power attack type battle soul master.

Although he was an earl of the Star Luo Empire, his rank was very low compared to other titled Douluo.

After all, the other titled Douluo were at least marquises, while he was only an earl.

Now that his strength has increased and he is a Title Douluo, he is naturally unwilling to remain just an earl.

The ranks of nobility in the Star Luo Empire, from highest to lowest, are: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.

The title of Earl is only the third highest in the nobility; how could it possibly match his current strength?

Upon hearing Dai Yutian's promise, he stepped forward without hesitation, wanting to be the first to try something new.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as the vanguard, leading the vanguard troops in a surprise attack on the Heavenly Dragon Empire. I am confident that we can secure our first victory for the Star Luo Empire!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Dai Yutian's eyes, and he immediately said, "Good! If Minister Ling can secure the first victory for the Star Luo Empire, after we conquer the Heavenly Dragon Empire, I will grant you the territory of a vassal kingdom of the Heavenly Dragon Empire as your fiefdom!"

As he spoke, he tossed one of the army transfer orders that he had prepared in advance to Ling Leishi.

These words are like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples all around.

The other Titled Douluo all showed expressions of regret, secretly blaming themselves for not being the first to stand up.

It should be noted that during the Tiandou Empire, each vassal kingdom had a considerable territory; otherwise, they could not have been called kingdoms.

For convenience, Lan Minghua only abolished the royal family of the Heavenly Dou Empire, leaving everything else untouched.

Therefore, the Tianlong Empire is almost identical to the Tiandou Empire today, except that the leaders have changed.

Ling Leishi was so excited that his face turned red. He hurriedly took the order that Dai Yutian threw to him, accepted the order, and left.

He immediately assembled his army and prepared to launch a surprise attack on the Tianlong Empire.

Dai Yutian was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

So he promised again: "My dear ministers, do not be impatient. As long as we work together to conquer the Heavenly Dragon Empire, I promise you will all receive your own fiefdoms!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone clasped their hands in greeting and shouted in unison.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Dai Yutian distributed the army's mobilization orders to the titled Douluo one by one.

After receiving their military orders, the titled Douluo took their leave and returned to lead their subordinates in preparation for the long-awaited surprise attack on the Tianlong Empire.

After everyone had left, Dai Yutian leaned back on the dragon throne, a wicked smile of ambition creeping onto his lips.

He murmured softly, "As long as these people serve me, unifying the continent is only a matter of time. Just wait, whether it's the Heavenly Dragon Empire or the Spirit Hall, they will both be mine sooner or later. Don't you agree, Empress?"

"Of course, Your Majesty. My Star Luo Empire is stronger than ever before; how could it possibly be contended with by the mere Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Spirit Hall!"

Zhu Yali and Dai Yutian exchanged a smile, both looking confident of victory.

Meanwhile, far away in the Tianlong Empire, behind the Tianlong Gang building, Lan Minghua slowly opened his eyes.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and then he chuckled softly.

Although this place is far away from the Star Luo Empire, with his current strength, everything that happened in the Star Luo Empire is as clear as if it were happening right in front of him.

"Heh, as expected, once you have some strength, you lose your patience. You are nothing but puppets of those gods in the divine realm. Not only do you not doubt them, but you are also complacent. It seems that you have been blinded by the immediate benefits."

Lan Minghua knew perfectly well that the numerous titled Douluo who suddenly emerged in the Star Luo Empire all originated from the so-called inheritance given by the gods in the God Realm.

These inheritances did not pass on the original person; instead, they forcibly elevated their strength to the level of a Title Douluo using divine power.

After all, those second-level and third-level gods haven't lived long enough, so naturally they wouldn't pass on their divine positions to others.

To do this without a divine position is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow; it is hardly worthy of respect.

These titled Douluo, who were forcibly elevated by divine power, did not receive divinely bestowed soul rings and could only hunt souls themselves.

Lan Minghua had foresight; two years ago, he instructed Di Tian to keep the soul beasts that were over 50,000 years old in captivity.

Although not all of them were kept in captivity, how many of the titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire still had a ninth spirit ring that was 50,000 years old?

Taking both situations into account, the strength of these Title Douluos in the Star Luo Empire is much weaker than that of Title Douluos who break through on their own.

Simply put, they're all just for show.

Lan Minghua would not tolerate the reckless Star Luo Empire.

Moreover, the current strength of the Tianlong Empire is far superior to that of the Xingluo Empire due to the Cultivation Furnace.

He immediately sent a message to Yunshan Qianli.

"Old Shan, that big oaf next door has finally lost his patience. It's time to let the people of the mainland see the power of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!"
