"Protect His Majesty!"
The intuition of the strong told everyone in the Xingluo Empire that this was a dangerous thing.
Many loyal people activated their martial spirit bodies and used their strongest defensive spirit skills to condense a strong protective shield above Dai Tianfeng.
However, this ninth-level soul-guided shell accelerated suddenly. This was the acceleration a ninth-level shell should have when it approached the landing point, in order to create a large enough impact to achieve the explosion requirements.
But it was not coming towards Dai Tianfeng, but towards the Xingluo Palace.
"Huh?"
In mid-air, Xu Yunxiao's eyes flashed, and a look of surprise unexpectedly appeared in his eyes.
"Guardian of the Stars!"
Suddenly, an old man with white hair and wearing a star robe stood above the Xingluo Palace.
His body was surrounded by spirit rings, and a momentum no weaker than Dai Tianfeng's suddenly burst out.
With his body as the center, a ball of intense starlight burst out. The starlight was as bright as the sun and turned into a layer of light shield, isolating the entire Xingluo Palace.
Eighteen stars appeared on the surface of the light shield, shining brightly.
"Boom!"
The next second, the soul-guided shell landed on the ground, and a terrifying explosion sounded, shaking the sky and the earth.
The eighteen stars in the sky dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if the old man below increased his soul power, he could not stop it.
Immediately afterwards, the sky was filled with flames and thick smoke rising into the sky. The flames were blazing, yet contained extremely destructive and violent energy. The combination of the two was unstoppable.
Waves of terrifying shock waves spread out instantly, sweeping up everything around and evaporating it instantly.
Two-thirds of the entire Xingluo Palace evaporated in an instant. If it weren't for the Titled Douluo who stopped it, the remaining one-third would probably have ceased to exist.
The entire Xingluo City was shaking violently, and the loud noise of the explosion was still echoing in the air for a long time.
The sky had just brightened at this time, and the bright light appearing in Xingluo City was even more dazzling than the rising sun.
Xingluo City instantly fell into great chaos, with constant screams of terror, filled with fear and despair.
"Is this the fireworks of the Sun and Moon Empire?" Yang Wudi almost dropped his jaw in shock as he looked at the flames rising in Xingluo City.
"The ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon is the highest masterpiece of my Sun-Moon Empire's soul guide device. It is enough to threaten the life of a Titled Douluo." Xu Tianyang introduced calmly.
"Soul Guidance Device can actually do this!"
Hearing this, Yang Wudi looked at Xu Tianyang and the flames rising in the distance with fiery eyes.
Maybe, maybe the Sun-Moon Empire can really fulfill the Po clan's long-cherished wish.
"this..."
Many powerful men of the Xingluo Empire were shocked to the point of losing their voices after seeing this horrifying scene. They felt as if they were in the depths of the Far North, and their whole bodies were icy cold.
"Ahhhhhhh..." Dai Tianfeng roared angrily. He witnessed with his own eyes how the palace that symbolized the imperial power of the Xingluo Empire was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Xu Yunxiao!!!" Dai Tianfeng roared in a deafening roar, his murderous intent surging.
"You kill so wantonly and have lost all conscience. Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"
"Divine punishment?" Xu Yunxiao sneered upon hearing this.
"There's no right or wrong in war, only victors. It's your refusal to accept defeat that led to this."
"You should be thankful that I don't wish to kill too many people. Otherwise, this ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell would not have landed inside your Xingluo Imperial Palace, but on the outer walls of Xingluo City. That would have been a true hell on earth."
"Bang..." Xu Yunxiao's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Dai Tianfeng's heart. His breathing suddenly became rapid, and he stared at the sea of fire below in a daze.
"I ask you again, fight, or..."
"drop!"
As Xu Yunxiao finished speaking, the Evil Lord and the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group gathered their terrifying soul power and pressed down on the stunned people of the Star Luo Empire.
"His Majesty!"
A horrified voice brought Dai Tianfeng back to his senses. He looked in the direction the person next to him was pointing, and saw that on the distant hilltop, Wang Hu had installed another ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell, waiting for Xu Yunxiao's order and ready to fire at any time.
Is this kind of powerful weapon actually mass-produced?
Used one and still have one?
"Ahem... Tianfeng, please consider the overall situation!"
The old man who had just resisted the explosion of the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell came to Dai Tianfeng and said with a weak breath.
At this moment, he had lost one hand and one foot, and his breath was extremely weak, as if he would die in the next second.
"Mr. Xu..., you..." Dai Tianfeng's eyes became even redder when he saw the old man.
The Xingguan Sect is the last trump card of the Xingluo Empire and its foundation. Because of the incident that happened that year, it has long been hidden from the world.
Old Xu is the only Titled Douluo of the Xingguan Sect and also one of the only two Titled Douluos in the Xingluo Empire. Unexpectedly, is he going to fall today?
"The overall situation is more important!"
Looking at the old man's heavy eyes, Dai Tianfeng gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Yunxiao. He opened his mouth several times and finally roared: "Xingluo Empire..."
"I give up!"
After finishing speaking, Dai Tianfeng seemed to have aged a lot, and suddenly fell to the ground dejectedly.
"The Xingluo Empire persecuted our Sun and Moon people, leading to the outbreak of war. All losses suffered by our Sun and Moon Empire in this war must be compensated by your Xingluo Empire. In addition, the entire area within a thousand miles of the Mingdou Mountains will belong to our Sun and Moon Empire."
Now that the war has been won, the next step is to pay compensation and cede territory.
Xu Yunxiao looked at the people of Xingluo Empire indifferently, took out the already written terms from his soul guide, and threw them in front of Dai Tianfeng.
The Mingdou Mountains were formed by the collision between the Douluo Continent and the Sun-Moon Continent. From north to south, it is like a natural barrier separating the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire.
The Mingdou Mountains stretch endlessly, occupying almost two-thirds of the border, and the other third is the Mingdou Forest, which is about half the size of the Xingdou Forest.
The Mingdou Forest is rich in mutant soul beasts and contains several extremely rare metal veins.
The Sun-Moon Empire never has too much of this kind of strategic material.
The terrain of the Mingdou Mountains is complex and the land is extremely steep. As long as you cross the Mingdou Mountains, it will be flat land for both Xingluo and Riyue.
It can be said that whoever occupies the Mingdou Mountains will have the initiative in the war.
The plan Xu Yunxiao proposed this time was to directly cut off the western defense line of the Xingluo Empire, and they would be directly exposed to the military force of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Dai Tianfeng naturally saw the interests involved, but did he have any choice?
"I agree!" Dai Tianfeng said in a hoarse voice as he took the agreement.
"Within seven days, the Xingluo army will withdraw from the Mingdou Mountains, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Xu Yunxiao's cold words echoed in the void. The people of the Xingluo Empire watched the Sun and Moon Empire leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he was alive.
