Chapter 1578: The War Begins (Please Subscribe)_1

Dai Tianling glanced at him, "Hmph, less nonsense, what exactly does your Holy Spirit Cult plan to do by organizing so many evil Soul Masters to come here?"

For now, it would be best to stall for time until the soldiers of the Xingluo Empire could encircle them from the outside before making their move!

Leng Yue Lai sneered, "Things have already come to this, and you still ask what we are going to do? I'm afraid it's time for a change of ownership for your emperor's throne."

The Dark Blood Demon's eyes shone with a crimson light as he said, "I really want to taste what the blood of the people from the Star Luo royal household is like! Hehehehe..."

Hearing these words, the faces of all the participants on site turned ugly...

"Too arrogant! These evil Soul Masters clearly intend to annihilate the entire Star Luo royal household!"

"That's right, but as long as we're here, they can forget about it!!"

"Dream on, look at these evil Soul Masters carefully, they clearly came prepared and in such numbers, let's just hope that when they launch their attack later, it won't affect us participants in the exchange competition!"

"The evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are all desperados, expecting them to spare you? Don't be foolish!"

"With our current fighting strength, we're likely to be crushed by the Holy Spirit Cult! Even with the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the Sect Master of the Body Sect, we can't make up for such a huge numerical disadvantage!!"

"Don't panic... haven't you noticed how calm the Xingluo Empire's Emperor is? He might have anticipated this scene already; let's not worry blindly!"

Xie Xie swallowed hard, "We're in for it now, only wanted to participate in the exchange competition, never thought I'd have to lose my life here!"

Surrounded by so many evil Soul Masters, their hearts were already filled with intense despair...

Xu Xiaoyan wiped her forehead, "Don't... don't say such depressing things, with Elder Xu and Sect Master Mu here, we'll be fine!"

Although she said this, careful observation would reveal that her legs were also trembling slightly...

As Shrek Members, slaying evil Soul Masters was their duty, but actually facing the task required tremendous courage!

Ye Xinglan hesitated, "But even Teacher Xu may not be able to protect us in this chaotic situation, right?"

Wu Siduo said coldly, "We don't need Teacher Xu's protection, I will kill as many evil Soul Masters as come!"

She only felt hatred towards the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the reasons were numerous!

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and earnestly said, "Although Wu Siduo might be exaggerating, let's not forget we are all students of Shrek, destined for the Inner Court in the future. We must not let other powers make a mockery of us!"

Gu Yue nodded and echoed, "That's right... worst comes to worst, it's a fight to the death!"

Although his real identity was that of the Silver Dragon King, having lived in Shrek Academy for so long, he had already blended into this identity of Gu Yue!

Both identities... were now inseparable!

Just as the tension was at its peak, the entire imperial palace was filled with the sound of "thump, thump, thump!" footsteps...

Visible to the naked eye, countless soldiers of the Xingluo Empire clad in silver armor and equipped with soul tools entered the imperial palace with a solemn and imposing manner...

At first glance, their numbers were easily several times more than those of the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult!

The leading commander abruptly waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Xingluo Empire began to spread out. In the blink of an eye, they had encircled the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult...

Then, each soldier shouted loudly, "Hah!"

The deafening roar reignited a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the despairing participants...

"That's... the Xingluo Empire's legion, they've arrived in such numbers, and all are equipped with soul tools!"

"Although the strength of the Xingluo Empire's soldiers may not match that of the evil Soul Masters, if they have soul tools, they can still fight, despite the disparity in soul power rank!"

"Great, it looks like the Xingluo Empire's Emperor had already anticipated this and prepared a contingency!"

"In this way, even if a conflict erupts with the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, we have nothing to fear!"

The commander looked toward Dai Tianling, then half-knelt on the ground, and said in a respectful tone, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have arrived late! Please forgive me!"

Dai Tianling's face brightened with joy, and he immediately commanded, "You're not late; you've arrived just in time. Let these evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult witness the strength of our Star Luo Empire!"

Upon hearing this, the commander stood up again. "Yes, Your Majesty!"

He then announced loudly, "All warriors of the Star Luo Empire, heed my command: those who dare trespass into the imperial palace shall be killed without mercy!"

As his words fell, the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire each took out a soul tool, charged it briefly, and then aimed at the evil Soul Masters in front of them, ready to bombard at any moment...

Seeing this, a hint of contempt flashed in Halosa's eyes...

He said disdainfully, "Hmph! So, they've prepared this move? But... do they really think these shrimp soldiers and crab generals with soul tools can match us, the evil Soul Masters? Attack!"

The impatient Dark Blood Devil said with a sneer, "Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, hold nothing back, slaughter to your heart's content!"

At that moment, the battle finally erupted...

...

Meanwhile, Turbid World and the others had already reached above the evil Soul Masters who were ambushing Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect!

But soon enough, the evil Soul Masters noticed their presence...

"Not good, those are the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion from Shrek Academy, get ready to defend!"

"Damn, we've been discovered so fast, and I haven't even had my fun with the explosions yet!"

"Stop talking nonsense and activate the Defensive Soul Guidance Device immediately!"

Turbid World, who noticed it first, without any hesitation, exclaimed, "Dream on, third soul skill, Dragon's Rift Strike!"

The third soul ring under his feet lit up...

Visibly, the Scarlet Armored Dragon behind him, a few dozen meters in size, emitted a deep dragon's roar...

Following that, it charged directly toward the evil Soul Masters below, intending to eradicate them in one strike...

But just a second before the hit, the ground suddenly erupted with a strong light, forming a sturdy Protective Barrier...

When Turbid World's attack struck, it only managed to slightly fracture the Barrier, which, in a matter of seconds, returned to its original state...

He, who had been forced to take a few steps back due to the rebound, said with a look of surprise, "What a formidable Defensive Soul Guidance Device, it's at least level 8!"

Furthermore, it was activated by the joint hands of hundreds of evil Soul Masters, with their soul power continuously replenishing the Defensive Soul Guidance Device...

Feng Wu Yu said expressionlessly, "Thinking that a mere level 8 soul tool can stop us is underestimating us too much! Fellow Elders, let's join forces and destroy this soul tool!"

Cai Yue'er nodded, "Good!"

But before they could take action, they suddenly felt an ominous presence rapidly closing in...

That's right, the newcomer was the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult!

It was none other than the wife of the Deepsea Devil Whale King, who Tang San had slain twenty thousand years ago!
