Chapter 227 Godslayer Weapon_1

"Isn't this the very path we aspire to follow?"

"Good heavens, what have I been cultivating all this time?"

"...I almost lived my entire life in vain."

"So this is how I should use my Martial Soul."

After the excitement, the devotees of the Holy Spirit Cult offered even more devout faith.

Including Tang Ya, the goddess of the Holy Spirit Cult.

A smile crept onto the aged face of Electrolux.

'I must not have disappointed you,' he thought to himself.

Of course, Qin Xiao would have been extremely shocked had he seen this scene.

I had you infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult, and you actually became the True God of the Holy Spirit Cult?

...

Night fell.

Xu Tianran, under the somewhat dim light, looked at a map not far away.

The corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

"Xingluo Empire, I'm curious to see how long you can hold out."

"Everything is within my control."

It might look like the Sun-Moon Empire and Xingluo Empire are at a stalemate right now.

But that's because he hasn't given it his all yet.

He wanted to see what kind of strength the Xingluo Empire truly possessed.

Therefore, the power he showed was to make the Xingluo Empire believe that with just a bit more effort, they could handle the Sun-Moon Empire.

Give the Xingluo Empire confidence, let them be blindly self-assured, and then... crush them mercilessly.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, a Shadow flitted past Xu Tianran's eyes.

He quickly directed his gaze toward the movement and saw an old man dressed in a black robe appear in the hall like a ghost.

He did not exhibit any sign of nervousness or surprise at this person, his eyes as calm as ever.

Because this old man was his protector.

The renowned Shadow Douluo of the Soul Land!

"Your Highness, there's been an incident," said the Shadow Douluo with a grave expression.

What's happened?" Xu Tianran's expression became tense in an instant.

He had thought the Shadow Douluo was bringing good news.

But it seemed that was not the case.

"A guard just received this letter, and I had to bring it to you immediately," said the Shadow Douluo, producing an aged letter.

Xu Tianran frowned slightly, then reached out to take it.

After he read the letter's contents closely, his pupils constricted.

The message was brief, yet he read it over and over.

The Shadow Douluo remained silent, his eyes lowered as if he were asleep.

After a long while,

Xu Tianran asked solemnly, "Did you read this letter?"

"I did," the Shadow Douluo replied gravely.

"So, do you think the letter's authenticity is reliable?" Xu Tianran asked another question.

"It's better to err on the side of belief than disbelief; Your Highness, it's best to take precautions early," the Shadow Douluo answered solemnly.

Xu Tianran's pupils narrowed; he almost knew the Shadow Douluo was telling him he believed the news was real.

"Is there any way to find out who sent this message?" Xu Tianran still had some doubts about the unknown origin of the message.

"I don't know," the Shadow Douluo shook his head slightly, "I looked carefully at the place where I received this message, but the sender left no traces, not even a wisp of aura.

This also proves the person's strength must be above mine.

That's why I'm advising Your Highness to prepare early."

As he spoke, the Shadow Douluo's face revealed a lingering fear.

"So you mean, even if the sender harbors ill will, they just want to watch the fight between the snipe and the clam?"

Xu Tianran pondered for a long time before saying, "Did the Sect Master Titan of the Hao Tian Clan really come to the Sun-Moon Empire to assassinate me?"

For some reason, he always felt in his heart that it was not quite right.

It seemed as if some important factor was missing.

However.

Shadow Douluo did not think that much.

He still firmly believed that Titan's goal in coming to the Sun-Moon Empire was Xu Tianran.

"Attack the man before attacking his horse; capture the thief by capturing the king first."

"Aside from targeting you, I really can't think of any other plan for Titan after he left the main force of the Xingluo Empire.

Your Highness, please don't be offended by my frankness. The dispute between the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire was instigated by you, and the best way to solve the problem is to eliminate the person who caused it.

So if they could assassinate you, then the war between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Xingluo Empire would be completely over.

Even the Xingluo Empire might take advantage of the chaos in the Sun-Moon Empire and choose to invade."

Shadow Douluo spoke with grave concern.

Xu Tianran unconsciously narrowed his eyes, "Heh, that would indeed be the simplest and most effective method.

But, it would also be the most foolish one.

After all, you are not the only person by my side."

Kong Deming, Ye Yulin, and many Titled Douluo Level powerhouses, guest elders, and Ninth-grade Soul Guidance Devices mostly went to the front lines.

But this does not mean that the Sun-Moon Empire is left vulnerable.

Supreme Elder Ye Xishui is currently stationed within the imperial palace.

That individual is a peerless powerhouse of level 99.

And there are even more arrangements within the imperial city itself.

The localized explosions of hundreds of high-grade Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons are so powerful that even a Titled Douluo of rank ninety-nine would have a hard time gaining any advantage.

If not dead, they would at least be severely injured.

Ming City is still not a place where anyone can come and go as they please.

"Your Highness, I think we must not be careless."

Seeing the cold smile on the corner of Xu Tianran's mouth, Shadow Douluo softly reminded him.

The reason he could become Xu Tianran's close confidant, accompanying him like a shadow on his left and right, was not only because of his strong abilities, but also due to one merit: he dared to offer advice.

He constantly kept Xu Tianran alert to avoid making incorrect decisions.

"You're right," Xu Tianran nodded, "Let's have the city guard army strengthen patrols right away. Strictly check everyone entering the Sun-Moon Empire.

If anyone is found to be suspicious, they may be executed before reporting.

Additionally, I'm going to write a letter right away, and I need you to personally deliver it to the Supreme Elder so that she is cautious and ready.

However, we need to create an atmosphere that appears tight on the outside but lax on the inside, so that the enemy falls deep into our ambush without realizing.

By then..."

Xu Tianran's voice gradually faded away.

There was no need to say any more.

Those who rashly intrude into Ming City will definitely have no good end.

Even for a Titled Douluo of level 99, it would be the same.

...

Time flies swiftly.

Three days later.

In the laboratory, Qin Xiao rubbed his somewhat sore wrists.

"Phew, I've finally succeeded."

On the table in front of him, there was an item the size of his palm.

It looked like a soul laser gun.

However, this was not an ordinary soul laser gun, but a powerful weapon capable of slaughtering gods.

Because the energy inside this soul laser gun wasn't Soul Power, it was Divine Power!

God of Destruction's Power!

"Wang Dong'er, Wang Dong'er!?"

Qin Xiao suddenly bellowed.

In no time, Wang Dong'er, wearing her dirty overalls, ran to Qin Xiao's side.

"What's wrong?" Wang Dong'er asked anxiously.

"Here, a gift for you." Qin Xiao pointed at the soul tool on the table with his hand.

Wang Dong'er casually picked it up, and then her complexion changed.

She felt a terrifying power that made her heart tremble.
