Chapter 325: The Star Luo Empire Falls, and the Spirit Empire Unifies the Continent!
After making its decision, the Star Luo Empire immediately began negotiations to surrender to the Spirit Empire, stating that it was willing to accept any conditions the Spirit Empire imposed.
Faced with the Star Luo Empire's submission, the Spirit Empire did not refuse.
Although they were certain of victory, war always meant soldiers would die.
If they could bring down an entire empire without shedding a drop of blood, that was naturally the best outcome for the Spirit Empire.
The reason the Spirit Empire's soul engineer legion had launched a surprise attack on the Dou Spirit Empire a few days ago was precisely to minimize its own casualties.
However, the Star Luo Empire could surrender.
But one of its clans had to be wiped out.
Star Luo Empire, White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
A small soul engineer legion numbering several hundred surrounded the entire Duke's Mansion.
Abandoned by the Star Luo Emperor, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao stood at the entrance of the mansion.
He stared at the soul engineer legion before him, then finally fixed his gaze on Jing Hongchen, who stood at the very front.
"Hall Master of the Illustrious Virtue Hall, I have a question before I die."
"Why must my Dai Clan be exterminated when the Star Luo Empire surrendered? Why?"
Dai Hao gritted his teeth, resentment filling his eyes.
He was unwilling to accept this.
If he had known this would happen, he should have led the Star Luo Legion to fight the Spirit Empire's soul engineer legion to the death before the Star Luo Empire surrendered.
But now, Xu Jiawei has stripped him of his position as Marshal.
Both he and his entire clan had been completely abandoned by Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor.
"Why?"
"Because you carry a bloodline stained with sin. Your death is inevitable."
"Besides, as the Star Luo Marshal, you don't even know how many soldiers of the Sun Moon Empire, the predecessor of the Spirit Empire, you've killed. You've already committed enough sins to warrant death."
"You have no chance of surviving today."
Jing Hongchen raised his head slightly, his expression filled with disdain.
"All troops, heed my command. Level the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion."
The instant Jing Hongchen gave the order, the soul cannons of the soul engineer legion all aimed at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Jing Hongchen himself wasn't idle either.
He intended to kill Dai Hao personally.
Dai Hao's soul power was currently only at Rank 89, not even reaching the Titled Douluo realm.
Jing Hongchen, on the other hand, possessed Rank 94 soul power and was also a level 9 soul engineer. Dealing with Dai Hao was naturally effortless.
A massive cannon appeared behind Jing Hongchen, its barrel aimed directly at Dai Hao in the distance.
This was Jing Hongchen's Level 9 Soul Cannon.
Its power was astonishing, enough to level a small mountain.
"Multiple Soul Guidance Binding Arrays."
Jing Hongchen gave a low shout.
In an instant, one soul guidance array after another trapped Dai Hao within a designated area.
"White Tiger Duke, farewell!"
As Jing Hongchen's words fell, the barrel of the Level 9 Soul Cannon erupted with a blinding white light.
A terrifying soul guidance beam shot toward Dai Hao.
At the same time, the soul cannons behind Jing Hongchen began firing one soul guidance beam after another.
"Seventh Soul Skill: White Tiger True Body!"
A gigantic White Tiger True Body, several dozen meters tall, appeared, unleashing a White Tiger Intense Light Wave from its maw.
But under the overwhelming firepower—
The White Tiger Intense Light Wave was shattered, and the White Tiger True Body itself broke apart.
Under the level 9 soul guidance destruction beam fired by Jing Hongchen, Dai Hao was completely reduced to ashes.
The White Tiger Duke's Mansion behind him was also leveled by the soul guidance beams fired by the soul engineer legion.
…
Shrek Academy.
"Old Xuan, this is bad!"
"The Star Luo... The Star Luo Empire has surrendered! The three empires of the Douluo Continent have now all fallen. The Spirit Empire has unified both the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent!"
Xian Lin'er hurriedly rushed before Xuan Zi and told him the shocking news.
"What?!"
"How could the Star Luo Empire surrender?! Shrek Academy was already preparing to send reinforcements!"
"Damn it!"
Xuan Zi cursed furiously.
Now that all three empires of the Douluo Continent were gone, what was Shrek supposed to do?
At the beginning, the Spirit Empire had conquered the Dou Spirit Empire in a four-hour blitzkrieg, and Shrek hadn't received the slightest warning.
It wasn't until the Spirit Empire's soul engineer legion had already entered deep into the Heavenly Soul Empire and was nearing its capital that Shrek Academy finally learned what was happening.
But by then, it was already too late for Shrek Academy to rush to the Heavenly Soul Empire's aid.
In the end, the only thing Shrek could do was hurry to support the Star Luo Empire and prevent the Spirit Empire from achieving complete unification.
But no one had expected this.
The Star Luo Empire had surrendered outright.
Now, they didn't even have the chance to send reinforcements.
"Old Xuan, the three empires of the Douluo Continent are gone. What are we supposed to do now?"
Xian Lin'er couldn't help asking.
Confusion filled her eyes, along with a deep uncertainty about the future.
Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, and Cai Meier all fell silent.
They didn't know how to answer.
In truth, deep down, they already knew the answer.
With the three empires of the Douluo Continent destroyed, Shrek Academy, which stood opposed to the Spirit Empire, had only one possible fate left.
Just then—
A clear, melodious, yet extremely authoritative voice rang out above Shrek's inner courtyard.
"The three empires of the Douluo Continent have fallen. Naturally, your Shrek Academy will follow them."
"Today is the day Shrek Academy's legacy is extinguished."
Xuan Zi and the other four abruptly looked up.
Three women appeared above Shrek's inner courtyard.
One was a cold, aloof woman dressed in purple.
One was a gentle woman dressed in a white gown.
And one was a golden-haired woman who possessed the Six-Winged Angel martial soul.
They looked down at them with undisguised contempt.
"It's you!"
Xuan Zi's pupils shrank violently, and for once, unmistakable fear appeared in his eyes.
The newcomers were none other than Bibi Dong, Ye Qingxian, and Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had already robbed Shrek Academy once before.
During that incident, Bibi Dong had even put a dog leash around Xuan Zi's neck, humiliating him beyond measure.
As for Ye Qingxian, the Hall Master of the Pill Hall, she had directly overwhelmed Shrek Academy with her pressure during the Pill Hall's founding ceremony and had even taken several soul bones from Shrek Academy.
The impression she had left behind was equally unforgettable.
The sight of these three alone filled Xuan Zi and the other four with despair.
And that wasn't all.
A moment later, two more figures appeared in the air.
One was old, while the other was young.
The old man was Kong Deming.
The young woman was Zhang Lexuan.
How could Zhang Lexuan possibly be absent on the day Shrek's legacy was extinguished?
In addition, a soul engineer legion was stationed ten li away from Shrek Academy.
As long as Qian Renxue gave the order, that soul engineer legion would charge into Shrek Academy and wipe out the ten-thousand-year-old institution once and for all.
"Old fool, I'm here to send you on your way today."
"What a pity. That old bastard Mu En is already dead. Otherwise, this would be even more fun."
Bibi Dong slowly descended with Ye Qingxian and Qian Renxue, stopping not far from Xuan Zi.
Kong Deming and Zhang Lexuan also landed one after another.
"Zhang Lexuan, you traitor!"
Xuan Zi glared furiously at Zhang Lexuan.
Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Meier also looked at Zhang Lexuan with murderous intent.
As the person who had personally killed Mu En, Zhang Lexuan was undoubtedly the person most hated by Mu En's disciples.
