Rolling clouds of dust and smoke filled the air as multicolored soul power lights continuously flashed. Soul conductor cannons and soul conductor rays blanketed the battlefield like a storm, emitting deafening roars and violent energy fluctuations.
Under Juzi's command, the Sun Moon Empire's army launched a full-scale charge toward the combined forces of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. During this, Xu Zihuang also ordered Wei Na to command the Heavenly Soul Empire's army to cooperate with the Sun Moon Empire's operations.
Although this was extremely cruel for Wei Na and the Heavenly Soul Empire, it was an unavoidable necessity.
Only when the Heavenly Soul Empire's army stained their hands with the blood of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire could the original three empires of the Douluo Continent be divided from within. This would also be more beneficial for the Sun Moon Empire's future rule.
As a result, the original numerical advantage that the combined forces of the three original Douluo Continent empires held against the Sun Moon Empire's army was instantly reversed. With the addition of the Heavenly Soul Empire's army, the number of troops on both sides had basically become equal. Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire's soul mentor corps possessed the most advanced soul tools. On top of that, there was the overwhelming sense of oppression and despair that Xu Zihuang's ascension to godhood had brought upon the armies of the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires.
The situation had now completely turned into a one-sided slaughter. In just half a quarter of an hour, the combined forces of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire had suffered heavy casualties.
The Title Douluo-level powerhouses of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire had nearly all been severely wounded by Xu Zihuang earlier. Those with slightly weaker soul power cultivation had been directly crushed into a mist of blood. Under the encirclement and assault of the Sun Moon Empire's nine-level soul mentors, they were already struggling to protect themselves and naturally could not spare any effort to support their own armies.
Kong Deming was currently floating in front of the Sun Moon Empire's group of nine-level soul mentors, his face expressionless as he loudly repeated the divine decree issued by Xu Zihuang.
"Those who willingly submit to my Sun Moon Empire shall live. Those who stubbornly resist shall be killed without mercy."
The offensive of the Sun Moon Empire's nine-level soul mentors paused, allowing the Title Douluos of the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires a chance to catch their breath. They exchanged glances with unsightly expressions. In the next instant, they all shot toward the direction of their allied forces' central military camp without prior agreement.
The general situation was already lost, but at the very least, they had to protect the high-ranking officials and imperial family members of the two empires (Huo Yuhao's group, the White Tiger Duke, Xu Sanshi, Xue Lingxun, and others) and escort them back to their capitals. This decision would at least grant them a short buffer period to decide whether to continue fighting or surrender.
From Kong Deming's attitude, as long as they did not stubbornly resist, it seemed there was no intention to exterminate them completely.
Kong Deming raised his hand to stop the Sun Moon Empire's nine-level soul mentors who were preparing to continue their pursuit and calmly stated, "The situation is settled. There is no need to chase."
Of the over one hundred Title Douluos gathered from the original Douluo Continent, some had fallen, some had surrendered, and some had retreated. In the end, only the elders of the Sea God's Pavilion from Shrek Academy remained in place.
After Elder Zhuang's confirmation, Xuan Zi's sea of consciousness had suffered severe damage, and it was highly likely that he would remain in this deranged state forever. It was only thanks to his Limit Douluo cultivation that he had not already perished. An ordinary Title Douluo would have fallen long ago after suffering such a level of injury.
Xu Zihuang had previously used the ability of the super divine tool, the Eternal Time-Space Chain, to permanently seal Xuan Zi's cultivation.
The elders of the Sea God's Pavilion looked up at Xu Zihuang, who stood high in the sky, their expressions gloomy and complicated.
Especially Zhang Lexuan.
Although she had been brought back to Shrek Academy by Elder Mu as a child and raised there, when she formally began her studies at Shrek Academy, she had received more guidance from Xuan Zi. Back then, when she absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone at the eightieth rank, it was Xuan Zi who had led the team.
During that incident, the inner court disciples had encountered a ten-thousand-year soul beast, resulting in heavy casualties. Xuan Zi had blamed himself deeply and fallen into depression for many years. And now, he had ended up in such a deranged state.
Zhang Lexuan tightly pursed her lips and let out a soft sigh in her heart. Then, her eyes became resolute once more.
Even if the entire Douluo Continent were to be ruled by the Sun Moon Empire, she could not allow Shrek Academy's legacy to be severed. No matter what, she had to succeed as the dean of Shrek Academy and protect the obsessions of Elder Mu and Xuan Zi.
Elder Song took a deep breath and solemnly shouted to the others, "Let's return to the academy first."
Xuan Zi's mind was unclear, and he could no longer make decisions. Elder Song had taken on this responsibility herself.
Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and the others felt unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. They left with Xuan Zi, who now looked no different from an ordinary, senile and unkempt old man. Also withdrawing with them were the Shrek City garrison and the inner court disciples and teachers who had gone to the front lines to fight.
Not long after, the combined forces of the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires suffered devastating losses and completely collapsed. Faced with the choice between life and death, many people laid down their weapons and chose to surrender.
Of course, a small number of people with firm beliefs fought to the bitter end and perished in this war.
But there was no denying that after this battle, the three original empires of the Douluo Continent no longer had any hope left. The imperial families of the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires now faced only two possible outcomes: either willingly submit and linger on in a state of survival, or face destruction.
Xu Zihuang overlooked the tragic battlefield below, his heart showing no emotional fluctuations. To achieve this goal, his hands couldn't remain unstained by blood.
However, what he cared about more right now was the expression on Tang San's face at this moment. Slowly raising his head, his brilliant golden eyes seemed to cross an endless void and land upon the misty and ethereal Divine Realm, meeting Tang San's gaze.
Tang San's face had darkened to the extreme, suppressing boundless fury. He held the Golden Trident and coldly snorted with feigned momentum.
Suddenly, his divine body began to turn illusory, and his consciousness grew blurry, as if affected by an invisible force of the world's laws.
Tang San was both shocked and furious as he desperately mobilized his vast Sea God divine power. A magnificent blue-gold light shone on the central main blade of the Sea God's Trident. Even so, he could only temporarily isolate this law's power and could not completely dispel it.
"Power of karma?!"
A feeling of dread spread through Tang San's heart. With his God King-level cultivation, he could more deeply understand the terrifying nature of this karmic power.
Xu Zihuang had directly erased the traces of Tang Hao's existence in the river of time. Since Tang San had inherited Tang Hao's bloodline, he would inevitably be affected by this karmic force.
Even though Tang San held the positions of Asura God and Sea God, he still had to constantly mobilize his divine power to isolate this karmic force. This was a curse that could never be lifted unless its strength could overcome the will of the world.
The gods in the Divine Realm were also filled with surprise and uncertainty, even more shocked by Xu Zihuang's terrifying talent. Becoming a god in a single thought, and fusing the Time God and Space God positions into the Space-Time God King was one thing, but now he had made Tang San suffer such a huge loss.
Meanwhile, the four gods closely related to Tang San, Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong, Food God Oscar, War God Dai Mubai, and Speed God Zhu Zhuqing, all furrowed their brows tightly.
The development of the situation had been completely beyond their expectations.
At the same time, Xu Zihuang's icy voice, carrying a hint of mockery, merged into his divine sense and suddenly rang out within the Divine Realm.
"Tang San, this is only the beginning. I already said that you and I are destined to fight to the death. When you plotted against me, you should have anticipated such an outcome."
...
One day in the Divine Realm equals one year in the mortal world.
Douluo Plane.
With the full cooperation of Wei Na and the Body Sect, the Sun Moon Empire completely took over the Heavenly Soul Empire on the same day. The remnants of the Dou Ling Empire and Star Luo Empire, under Xu Zihuang's tacit approval, retreated back to Ling Dou City and Star Luo City.
The shadow of defeat instantly enveloped the entire original Douluo Continent. The buffer time left for the Star Luo and Dou Ling Empires was only the final two days.
