Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"I, General Xue Zhan, swear by my ancestor, the Heavenly Emperor, that if what I said before was false, I will die on the battlefield, and my ancestor will be disgraced."

Holding swords to the sky and swearing an oath in the snow gave the 100,000 soldiers a greater sense of recognition and reassurance.

"Brothers, we have to fight this battle to the death."

A large Xuefeng soldier laughed loudly, and everyone laughed, instantly boosting morale to an unprecedented peak.

That is the power that hope gives them.

"It's finally been lifted up."

Seeing this, Xue Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

He naturally didn't want to die in the Heavenly Dou City; living would be the best outcome.

With morale at its peak, the chances of winning have increased by at least 30%.

Chapter 234 Killing Domain

Leaving aside the impending battle in Tiandou City, on the other side, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi looked at the many animal skin scrolls in front of him with a furrowed brow.

Things were far more complicated than he had initially thought. This war was not so simple; it was a scheme orchestrated by someone within the empire, and he already had a guess as to who it was.

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be a member of the imperial family; his ruthless and decisive nature is simply unmatched by ordinary people.

“I know what to do. As long as your country does not truly intend to destroy Tiandou, I, on behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, will not take action.”

After much deliberation, Ning Fengzhi made a decision to remain uninvolved in this war, at least initially.

As that young man said, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only permanent interests.

The existence of the Snow Peak Legion is not in the interest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they do not need a powerful Heavenly Dou Royal Family, as that would affect future cooperation.

"Sect Master Ning, please rest assured. Our target this time is only the Snow Peak Legion. We will retreat immediately after taking it. I believe that a Snow Peak Legion that can continue to grow stronger is not in your sect's interest."

The blond elder representing the Star Luo Empire's royal family put away the animal skin scroll while making a promise, and at the end, he exchanged a meaningful glance with Ning Fengzhi.

We are all intelligent people, and there is a basis for cooperation this time.

"I still need to go and support Tiandou City, so I won't stay any longer. Farewell!"

The blond elder and his old partner left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School without lingering and headed straight for Heaven Dou City to end the war as soon as possible.

This battle cannot be delayed; it must be won quickly. We must take Tiandou City and the Xuefeng Legion today, then plunder Tiandou City and the surrounding cities, and finally withdraw before the Tiandou Empire's army arrives.

"I dislike that crown prince even more now."

Watching the two leave, Gu Rong felt disgusted.

He disliked Crown Prince Xueye to begin with, and now that the other party has done something so outrageous, he feels even more disgusted with him.

"He's too ruthless. I don't know if it was right or wrong for the sect to support him back then."

Ning Fengzhi felt a chill run through his body. Although emperors are said to be ruthless and willing to use any means to achieve their goals, Xue Ye's actions had no bottom line. In the future, he would inevitably become an even more troublesome figure than Emperor Xue Sheng. Cooperating with such a person was a matter of unpredictable fortune and misfortune.

"Uncle Bone, come with me to Tiandou City."

Looking up towards Tiandou City, Ning Fengzhi planned to witness the impending war and the end of that prince and that legion.

The choice of Prince Xue Zhan must also be determined, otherwise allowing him to live will cause turmoil in the empire, and may even lead to its division, which would not be good for their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School either.

"Should we find a chance to get rid of that little black guy?"

Gu Rong asked, "Although Tian Dou City is extremely dangerous at the moment, there are three Title Douluos behind that little black guy, and the old swordsman has even reached the level of a Super Douluo. Although the three of them cannot help the Tian Dou Empire win this war, it is not difficult to protect one person."

It's unlikely that the powerful figures of the Star Luo Empire would risk a bloody battle with three Title Douluos for the sake of one person, thus creating a deadly feud.

But they didn't want that kid to live, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to win over the old swordsman.

"We must not let anyone find out, especially Uncle Jian."

Ning Fengzhi reminded him that he also did not want that little brother to survive, and at the same time, he had some ideas about that head soul bone.

I wonder if a 100,000-year-old head bone can help my martial soul break through its limitations?

Without saying anything more, Gu Rong used his spatial soul skill to take Ning Fengzhi and the silent Leng Qing'er towards Tian Dou City.

When they arrived at Tiandou City, they discovered that the Star Luo Empire's 200,000 Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry had already entered the city, annihilated all 50,000 city defense troops stationed there, and surrounded the imperial palace. It seemed they intended to attack from all sides, creating an enemy on all sides.

At the same time, Dai Tiehu had already leaped onto the top of the imperial city wall and was looking towards the location of the Xuefeng Legion.

"Advance slowly, compress their space of operation, and open up space for our army to accelerate its charge. The Soul Master Legion will assist in clearing the way and annihilate the enemy within an hour."

After surveying the complex layout of the palace, Dai Tiehu frowned but still waved his hand to give the order.

He had previously thought that the Snowblade Legion would be deployed on the city walls to fight a defensive battle. At that time, they took advantage of the deployment map to gain the upper hand and used the terrain of the city walls to divide the Snowblade Legion, making it difficult for them to concentrate and gather. In this way, they could not gather their killing intent on a large scale.

But to everyone's surprise, they didn't go to the city wall, but instead gathered in a group at the palace and waited.

We've come this far, so we have no choice but to fight, even if it comes at a high price.

Furthermore, the true protagonists of this battle were not the Roaring Tiger Cavalry, but those few Title Douluos.

Two hundred thousand Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry charged through the four wide-open gates of the imperial city and were all inside in less than half an hour.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace is large enough; otherwise, it would have been difficult to accommodate 200,000 cavalrymen.

As the Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry entered, five Title Douluos from the Star Luo Empire took flight, looking down at the 100,000 Snow Peak Legion in the center of the palace. Below them were also many Soul Douluos and Soul Saints, as well as a legion of Soul Masters with more than 3,000 Soul Venerables.

This is the real main force, enough to disrupt the Snow Peak Legion's formation. Even if the opponent has a Title Douluo in charge, it will be of no use.

"You guys are perfect for warming up."

Chen Xin, who was resting with his eyes closed, sensed the soul pressure of the five people. His eyes suddenly opened, and there was no glint of light. Instead, he appeared very calm. But this kind of restrained calm was the most terrifying, just like the calm before the storm.

The Seven Kill Sword, a martial soul, manifested, and the Seven Kill Domain expanded, incorporating the Killing God Domain into it. Using the Seven Kill Sword Intent originally distributed to all the soldiers of the Snow Peak Legion as a node, it triggered the killing intent sealed within the Snow Peak Greatsword.

As if the gates of hell had been opened, a vast killing intent surged forth from the 100,000 Snowblade Greatswords, converging and deepening from its original pale red to a deep crimson.

That wasn't all. Using the crimson killing intent as cover, Tian Hao manifested the Asura Seven Kill Sword, and with the Asura Seven Kill Soul Power he had cultivated over the past few months, he revealed his own Killing God Domain.

This killing god domain, directly derived from the seed of Asura, is even more terrifying, guiding the killing intent to further transform, changing from a simple deep red to a scarlet red, resembling a blood mist.

"I wonder how it compares to Tang Chen's Killing Domain?"

He muttered to himself, wondering how much his newly created killing domain paled in comparison to Tang Chen's.

The Killing Domain is a development direction of the Killing God Domain. Since he has the Seed of Asura, he can naturally evolve it.

This time, the killing intent accumulated in the Snowblade Greatsword by generations of Snowblade Legion was used to create such a killing domain.

"The pressure is too intense; the spirit rings cannot be activated at all."

Xue Zhan, standing to the side, felt that he could not activate any of his spirit rings, and could only maintain the amplification of the spirit ring he possessed.

Even though he had been warned beforehand, he was still greatly shocked when he felt such domineering domain suppression.

“Legion command is your forte. You point, I'll attack.”

Connecting his immense spiritual power with Xue Zhan and Xue Feng Legion's adjutants, as well as the ten commanders, Tian Hao instructed Xue Zhan to command the battle.

He was very self-aware, knowing that he knew nothing about war command, so he naturally wouldn't cause trouble or make things worse. Professional matters should be handled by professionals, and he shouldn't do something as foolish as an amateur trying to command an expert.

"Can we quickly envelop those Soul Masters?"

Xue Zhan looked at the three thousand soul master legions of the Star Luo Empire. Their value and significance were even greater than that of the Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry. If they could swallow them whole, the Star Luo Empire would be severely weakened and would find it difficult to recover for a long time to come.

"can!"

After estimating the distance to the Soul Master Legion, Tian Hao nodded.

"Then kill them! Swallow those Soul Masters first, and use them to take control!"

Pulling the greatsword stuck in the ground, Xue Zhan gave a ferocious order.

Without delay, Tian Hao used the sacrificial method to ignite the soul power within his body. The purple-gold soul power and the initially fused Seven Kill Sword soul power transformed into flames, which further merged with the killing domain outside, turning the flames into a blood-red color.

"kill!"

The first to charge towards the opposing Soul Master legion, the 100,000 soldiers who had been waiting in ambush also roared and followed suit, dragging their Snowblade Greatswords, their expressions bloodthirsty and ferocious, filled with a resolute fighting spirit.

Chapter 235 Heavy Casualties

"attack!"

As the commander of the Soul Master Legion, Dai Xueyi looked at the sweeping blood mist. Although she was wary, she was not afraid. With a command, she first activated her Martial Soul and released her Soul Skill to attack.

Among the three thousand Soul Masters, the Battle Soul Masters also manifested their Martial Souls and unleashed their Soul Skills to attack.

Support-type Soul Masters use their Soul Skills to enhance their allies, and the teamwork is excellent.

Before these soul skills could even penetrate the blood mist, a series of blood-red sword energies formed the character "kill" and burst forth from the blood mist, forcefully shattering all the soul skill attacks with an attack-to-attack approach.

That's right, this is the Killing Word Technique, the strongest offensive and killing secret technique passed down by the War Soul Sect. Back then, Chen Jianjun used this move to fight Qian Daoliu to the death.

For the past six months, Tian Hao has mainly been practicing this secret technique, forming the character "kill" with sword energy, which is much more efficient than a simple wave of sword energy.

The two sides continued their offensive in this way. Although there were far fewer sword qi killing words on this side compared to the number of others, each blood-red sword qi killing word was comparable to the sixth soul skill of a Soul Emperor. They were not at a disadvantage in the fight and firmly blocked the Soul Master Legion's offensive outside the blood mist.

"It's him!"

With a glint in her eyes, Dai Xueyi extended her hand, and Zhu Yuying beside her grasped it in perfect unison. The two of them decisively unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, transforming into a gigantic Netherworld White Tiger.

The Netherworld White Tiger that they transformed into this time was a size larger than the one that appeared in the last Soul Master Competition, clearly showing that neither of them had relaxed their training in the past six months.

That wasn't all. A golden light enveloped the massive body of the Netherworld White Tiger, turning it into a brilliant gold—this was Dai Xueyi's soul bone skill.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the Netherworld Vajra Tiger pounced forward, preparing to smash the sword energy killing characters with its powerful body.

The Soul Master Legion followed closely behind, with 50,000 Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry already accelerating their charge, preparing to use the Netherworld Vajra Tiger as the vanguard to split the Snow Peak Legion in two.

As long as the Snow Peak Legion doesn't gather together, their bursts of killing intent won't be able to connect, making it much easier to fight.

The Netherworld White Tiger's defense was already quite strong, and with the added enhancement of a high-level soul bone skill, even a Soul Saint would find it difficult to break through this defense, shattering four sword qi killing characters in one go.

Unfortunately, both of them have made progress in the past six months, and Tian Hao's progress is also quite significant, not to mention the added boost from the Killing Domain.

After the Netherworld Vajra Tiger shattered the eighth sword qi killing character, a figure enveloped in blood-red flames rushed over. He swung his Purple Gold Grass Sword, which was covered with a thin membrane of sword qi, and with one strike he severed the huge tiger claw that was swinging towards him. With the second strike, he cut off the tiger's head.

The Netherworld White Tiger, formed from the martial spirit, was so severely injured that Dai Xueyi and Zhu Yuying suffered a backlash. Zhu Yuying, who was weaker in strength and willpower, fell into a coma again, while only Dai Xueyi was still holding on.

Adhering to the principle of striking while the iron is hot, Tian Hao continued to draw his sword, preparing to kill the two of them on the spot, showing no mercy even though Dai Xueyi was a rare beauty.
