Yu Yuanchen's grand blueprint regarding a "Federal Republic," "unifying the Sun Moon Continent," and "merging the two worlds" ignited a raging fire in the hearts of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. Although they were already peak powerhouses of the current era, at fifty-something years old, they were still in their prime for adventure.
Previously on the Douluo Continent, constrained by the tangled balance of various factions, many ideas were difficult to implement, leaving them to merely maintain the status quo. Now, on this relatively "blank" new continent, the vision proposed by Yu Yuanchen undoubtedly provided them with an excellent stage to stretch their limbs and personally forge a new order!
Several days later, three streaks of light cut through the sky, silently entering the sphere of influence of the Purple Blazing Tribe.
The deeper they ventured into the heart of the Purple Blazing Tribe, the more the group felt that the atmosphere was vastly different from that of the Oak Tribe. Passing through several cities belonging to the Purple Blazing Tribe along the way, the city walls were taller and sturdier, and the soul tools deployed on them were not only more numerous but also radiated energy fluctuations that were clearly a grade stronger.
Yu Yuanchen used his divine sense to investigate slightly and discovered that the core arrays of these defensive soul tools were more complex and exquisite, and the energy circuits were more efficient and stable. Their power was sufficient to threaten a Soul Sage level powerhouse, already reaching the standard of a Level Seven Soul Tool.
Moreover, in every city, there was at least one Soul Sage level aura presiding over it. The order was well-maintained, and the expressions of the merchants, Soul Masters, and commoners traveling in and out of the city, while not exactly wealthy, lacked the precarious terror seen under the rule of the Oak Tribe, replaced by a sense of stability.
"This Purple Blazing Tribe is actually quite decent," Tang Chen commented while stroking his chin. "It's more than a notch stronger than that Oak Tribe. It seems these three major tribes truly possess some foundation."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly: "Only by combining soul tool technology with the power of Soul Masters can such order be maintained in this environment. The leader of this tribe is certainly no mediocrity."
Ye Zhilan also said softly: "Although the common people in the city are not wealthy, they at least have basic security. It is not easy to manage this much on a continent surrounded by fierce beasts."
A hint of approval flashed in Yu Yuanchen's eyes. Seeing the big picture from small details, the governance level of the Purple Blazing Tribe was indeed far superior to the Oak Tribe, and its leader must be a person of means and foresight. This made him look forward to the upcoming "negotiation" with even more anticipation.
Soon, a towering, majestic city appeared on the horizon. The city walls were over fifty meters high, built entirely from a type of giant stone that shimmered with a pale purple luster, glistening under the sunlight.
On the city walls, dense rows of soul guidance cannons flickered with dangerous light, and a thick layer of pale purple energy shield enveloped the entire city, with the energy level reaching the standard of a Level Eight Soul Tool. From within the city, several powerful auras could be vaguely felt, the strongest of which was as deep as an abyss and as heavy as a mountain, already reaching the level of a Titled Douluo!
This was the capital of the Purple Blazing Tribe—Purple Blazing Dragon City.
When they first heard the Oak Tribe leader mention that the capital of the Purple Blazing Tribe was called Dragon City, Tang Chen and the others had looked at Yu Yuanchen with strange expressions, finding it somewhat amusing; they hadn't expected it to share the same name as the lair of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanchen shook his head and smiled indifferently: "It is a coincidence. However, sharing a name is not necessarily a bad thing; perhaps it just shows that this place has a connection with me." His gaze swept over the majestic city filled with purple energy, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes.
The group still did not alert the city defenses, relying on their profound cultivation to quietly sneak into the city. The scene inside was even more prosperous; the streets were wide, and although the buildings were still primarily made of stone, the designs were more exquisite. Shops stood in rows, and the number and cultivation levels of the Soul Masters were clearly higher. Occasionally, one could even see patrol squads wearing standardized soul tool armor.
Yu Yuanchen's divine sense locked onto the most central and luxurious palace complex in the city, which was the seat of power for the Purple Blazing Tribe and where that Titled Douluo leader resided.
"Since the opponent is a Titled Douluo, forcibly abducting him might cause complications, which would be counterproductive," Yu Yuanchen mused. "We will reveal ourselves and lure him out for a talk."
He found a quiet royal garden near the palace complex and signaled for the others to wait there. Afterward, he no longer fully restrained his aura but deliberately released a wisp of pure and vast Titled Douluo-level dragon might, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, clearly pointing toward the garden.
This sudden appearance of a strange and powerful Titled Douluo aura in the core area of Dragon City instantly alarmed the existence deep within the palace!
A moment later, a streak of purple light shot into the sky from the depths of the palace, carrying a look of suspicion and gravity as it sped toward the garden.
The light converged, revealing an old man wearing luxurious purple robes with a refined face, sharp eyes, and white hair and beard, yet his posture remained as straight as a pine. He radiated the majestic pressure of a Titled Douluo; he was the current leader of the Purple Blazing Tribe—Xu Yu!
The opponent had kept his aura in a remote courtyard within the city, clearly intending to lure him there. Was it a trap? Xu Yu was vigilant.
But on second thought, this was Dragon City, his territory. The city was filled with arrays and experts, and he himself was a 94th-level peak Power Attack System Titled Douluo. His martial soul, the Purple Blazing Sky-Destroying Dragon, was a super beast soul. He believed that even if he couldn't win, he would have no trouble escaping. If he didn't go, it would make him look cowardly.
Xu Yu hovered in mid-air, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over the six figures in the garden before finally settling on Yu Yuanchen, who stood at the very front. He shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my Purple Blazing Dragon City?"
He was incredibly shocked. Of these six people, he couldn't see through the depth of the three in the lead! Especially the man at the very front, whose aura was as vast as the sea and unfathomable! The other two, one with sacred light restrained and the other with a fierce and violent aura, also brought him immense pressure.
These three were definitely stronger than him! When did so many strange powerhouses appear on the Sun Moon Continent?
A more terrifying thought surged into his mind. Such terrifying dragon might... were they... were they fierce beast-level true dragons that had transformed and infiltrated his human capital? What were their intentions?! Clearly, he had also mistaken Yu Yuanchen and the others for fierce beasts.
Yu Yuanchen and his group looked at each other, feeling quite helpless and amused. Why did the people of the Sun Moon Continent always mistake them for soul beasts?
Helpless, they could only have Tang Chen reveal his martial soul again, though just like last time, he did not display his full strength.
Xu Yu felt Tang Chen's momentum, and a hint of shock and regret flashed in his eyes. This aura, it's, it's at least... a 97th-level Super Douluo?! If I had known, I should have brought the ancestral artifact. He thought to himself.
A Super Douluo! In the thousands of years of history of the Sun Moon Continent, there were only a handful of recorded Super Douluos. To think one was standing right in front of him, and it was... a weapon soul?!
"Now, do you believe us?" Tang Chen retracted his martial soul and said indifferently.
Yu Yuanchen stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm: "Leader Xu Yu, there is no need to be nervous. We have no malicious intent; we are travelers from the overseas Douluo Continent, here specifically to pay a visit."
"Overseas? Douluo Continent?" Xu Yu's pupils constricted. He had never heard of this place, but that weapon soul could not be faked; they were definitely not transformed soul beasts. He felt slightly more at ease, but his vigilance did not diminish. He retreated slowly, maintaining a safe distance. "Guests from overseas? May I ask what brings you here?"
"We come for cooperation, and also for... the future of the human race on the Sun Moon Continent." Yu Yuanchen got straight to the point, his gaze looking calmly at Xu Yu. "Leader Xu, what do you think of the current situation of the human race on the Sun Moon Continent?"
Xu Yu did not dare to put on a brave front and could only reply: "Naturally, we can only struggle to survive under the claws and teeth of the soul beasts."
Yu Yuanchen spoke at the right moment, his voice carrying an unquestionable majesty and temptation: "Leader Xu, the predicament of the humans on the Sun Moon Continent is not a one-day problem. Relying on the three major tribes to fight on their own will always have its limits. We have come to help the humans of the Sun Moon Continent break this ten-thousand-year deadlock! Unify the continent, integrate our strength, expel the soul beasts, and create a prosperous age where everyone is like a dragon!"
"Unify the continent?" Xu Yu gasped, shocked by this massive ambition. "Your Excellency... what do you mean by this?"
"It means," Yu Yuanchen's gaze was like a torch, staring directly at Xu Yu, "is the Purple Blazing Tribe willing to be the first to advocate for this, join us, and participate in this great undertaking?"
Xu Yu's heart was shaken, his expression changing constantly. Unify the continent? The temptation was too great, but the risks were also immense! He stared fixedly at Yu Yuanchen: "Your Excellency... what is your cultivation level? And how can you convince us that you have such ability?"
Yu Yuanchen exchanged glances with Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. The three of them no longer hid their strength, and three terrifying auras, vast as the abyss and transcending the mundane, erupted!
Boom!
Purple-Gold Lightning soared into the sky around Yu Yuanchen, with a phantom of a Holy Dragon vaguely coiling behind him. That aura was so strong that it far exceeded a normal Titled Douluo, as if he were a god in charge of divine punishment!
Qian Daoliu's Six-winged Angel phantom appeared, with holy light shining everywhere, sacred and majestic, purifying everything!
Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer true form manifested, its fierce and peerless power seemingly capable of suppressing mountains and rivers!
The pressure of three Titled Douluos overlapped, like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, instantly suppressing Xu Yu's Titled Douluo aura until it vanished without a trace! Xu Yu groaned, retreating several steps, the blood draining from his face, his eyes filled with incomparable shock and fear!
"This, this momentum, could this be the legendary Titled Douluo, or rather, three... Titled Douluos?!" His voice was hoarse and distorted by extreme shock.
Titled Douluo! This was a legendary realm! In the entire history of the Sun Moon Continent, there wasn't even one recorded Titled Douluo, and now, three had appeared at once!
"Now, are you willing to join?" Yu Yuanchen retracted his aura and asked indifferently.
Xu Yu gasped for air, the Raging Waves in his heart refusing to settle. Three Titled Douluo! This was absolute power capable of sweeping across the Sun Moon Continent! Facing such existences, any resistance was futile! Moreover, they were not soul beasts, but fellow human powerhouses, and they seemed... to have truly come with good intentions.
He struggled to lift his head, looking at the now-calm Yu Yuanchen and his two companions, and said bitterly, "Your Excellencies... your divine abilities are peerless, and Xu... is in awe. However, unifying the continent is a matter of great importance, involving the survival of countless tribes; it is by no means an easy task. I wonder... what specific plans do you have?"
Seeing Xu Yu's attitude soften, Yu Yuanchen knew the time was right and began to "paint a grand picture": "The plans are already in place. It is not a simple conquest by force, but the establishment of a 'Federation'. We will unite all tribes, form an alliance, establish a council, and deliberate on major affairs together."
"The alliance will oversee the military, laws, and Soul Tool Technology research. Each tribe will retain a moderate degree of autonomy. We will promote advanced cultivation methods and establish a Soul Master organization not controlled by any single family, benefiting the entire population. We will provide more advanced techniques, technologies, and systems from the Douluo Continent to help the human race of the Sun Moon Continent develop rapidly."
He paused, his gaze landing on Xu Yu with a hint of profound meaning: "The Purple Blazing Tribe's martial soul is a dragon, which has some commonalities with my Thunder Sacred Dragon Martial Soul."
"If you lead the Purple Blazing Tribe to join first, you will be a founding hero. In the future alliance, the status of the Purple Blazing Tribe will certainly not be low. And you, Xu Yu, may have the opportunity to reach a higher level."
Reach a higher level! These four words struck Xu Yu's heart like a heavy hammer! He had been trapped at level 94 for many years and knew well how difficult the path ahead was.
If there really was a chance... and the "Federation" system they proposed did not seem like annexation, but a win-win union that preserved the heritage of each tribe... more importantly, the strength of the three Titled Douluo was right before his eyes; not to submit was to perish!
Weighing the pros and cons took only an instant. Xu Yu took a deep breath, appearing to age slightly in an instant, yet also as if he had shed a heavy burden. He straightened his robes, stepped forward, and bowed solemnly to Yu Yuanchen, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen:
"I, Xu Yu, leader of the Purple Blazing Tribe, am willing to lead my entire clan to submit to you three! I am willing to serve as a loyal follower for the New Life of the human race on the Sun Moon Continent!"
Seeing Xu Yu submit, the three of them smiled at each other. The first step had been taken firmly.
"Please rise, Chief Xu. From now on, we are all on the same side." Yu Yuanchen gestured for him to stand, his tone much gentler. "Tell us in detail about the current situation of the three major tribes, especially the status of their Soul Tool Technology."
The group found a pavilion to sit in. Having adjusted his mindset, Xu Yu no longer held anything back and poured out everything he knew.
According to him, the three major tribes had long histories. The Purple Blazing, Golden Sun, and Silver Moon tribes each possessed different martial souls, but all were top-tier. The Purple Blazing Tribe, relying on the power of the Purple Blazing Sky-Destroying Dragon Martial Soul, had produced the most Titled Douluo in history and possessed the greatest overall strength. Although the Sun martial soul of the Golden Sun Tribe and the Moon martial soul of the Silver Moon Tribe were slightly inferior, their heritage was relatively stable, and they had a larger number of core Soul Sages and Soul Douluo, giving them a deep Foundation.
"Titled Douluo... are not born in every generation," Xu Yu sighed. "I am seventy-three this year, and it was only five years ago that I luckily made a Breakthrough. If I exhaust my lifespan before anyone in the younger generation of the tribe can reach this realm, or if a potential Titled Douluo dies unexpectedly, we must rely on the support of the Golden Sun and Silver Moon tribes to survive our period of Weakness. There have been precedents for this in history."
When speaking of soul tools, Xu Yu's expression was a mix of complexity and pride: "The Soul Tool Technology of our three tribes has indeed reached its peak. Level Seven and Level Eight Soul Tools can already be stably produced and equipped to the military. But Level Nine Soul Tools..." He shook his head.
"To craft a Level Nine Soul Tool, the maker must reach the realm of a Titled Douluo, possess a profound understanding of the way of soul tools, and require a touch of fate and Inspiration. The birth of every Level Nine Soul Tool is a unique masterpiece that cannot be replicated. My Purple Blazing Tribe has inherited this for a thousand years, and despite exhausting our resources, we have only successfully crafted four Level Nine Soul Tools, which we regard as our clan's treasures."
Yu Yuanchen and the others nodded slightly. This matched their assessment. The Soul Tool Technology of the Sun Moon Continent had taken the lead in "mass production" and "popularization," but it had hit a Bottleneck in the creation of top-tier items, limited by materials, theory, and especially the cultivation and insight of the makers. And this was exactly where the powerhouses from the Douluo Continent could bring a breakthrough!
"Four Level Nine Soul Tools... that is not bad," Yu Yuanchen praised, then changed the subject. "Chief Xu, next, I need your cooperation to contact the leaders of the Golden Sun and Silver Moon tribes. Whether they choose war or peace is up to them. Let the path to the unification of the Sun Moon Continent begin with your three major tribes."
Xu Yu felt a chill in his heart, knowing that the real storm was coming, but since he had already stepped onto this boat, he could only move forward with a Firm resolve: "Yes! Xu Yu understands! I will certainly do my best to facilitate this!"
Yu Yuanchen looked into the distance, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void to see the Sunset Plains of the Golden Sun Tribe and the Moonlight Forest of the Silver Moon Tribe.
