Chapter 676: Powerless to Turn the Tide (Please Subscribe)_1

When Xu Sheng led Poseissi out in the depths of Sea God's Lake, the latter's sky-blue eyes, bright like amber, fixed intently upon Xu Sheng. She pursed her lips and said, "Xu Sheng, why do you do this..."

She hadn't quite expected that Xu Sheng would not only destroy the Sea God's Curse that afflicted her but also use the Power of Creation to restore her to her twelve-year-old self...

Xu Sheng gently reached out to stroke Poseissi's head, speaking softly, "Sai West, you have lived for the Sea God for so long. Start over, and this time, live for yourself. But this time, you too will fade away in the river of time!"

He originally intended to seal Poseissi's memories and let her live a carefree life once more, yet he ultimately could not bring himself to do it...

After all, her life could be said to have been dedicated to serving the Sea God. Erasing such memories would be too cruel to her...

Poseissi, with her head being stroked, felt her cheeks flush, and bowing her head, she said, "Is that what you think? I understand now... Xu... Brother Sheng."

Hearing the last four words, Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered slightly. He smiled and said, "You're adapting well, then after this, you'll study at the Shrek Outer Court..."

But just then, Huo Yuhao, who had rushed out, urgently said, "Please wait a moment!"

Xu Sheng stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at Huo Yuhao, puzzled, "Hmm? Is there something else?"

The latter's gaze was filled with a fiery intensity, "You must be the strongest god from the Upper Realm, right?"

Xu Sheng, uncovered, remained composed, "Did Rong Nianbing tell you that?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes, I want to know why you, as the strongest in the Divine Realm, ignore the situation in the Lower Realm? Once the Sun-Moon Empire unifies the Continent, then..."

His words grew increasingly agitated...

Xu Sheng's mouth curved into a smile, "Of course I must intervene, but the time is not yet ripe..."

The reason he still let the Lower Realm evolve was just to let Qian Yu make a decision for itself...

With that said, Xu Sheng and Poseissi's silhouettes disappeared from the spot...

Standing dazedly in his original position, Huo Yuhao furrowed his brows, "Not yet ripe? What does that mean!"

Both the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire were almost conquered by the Sun-Moon Empire; even so, was it still not enough?

...

Xingluo Empire, inside the grand hall...

Every person seated around looked terribly grave, and the atmosphere was so oppressive it almost made it hard to breathe...

Suddenly, a Soul Master burst in from outside the hall, exclaiming in a flurry, "Report... report to Duke White Tiger, we... our newly established... defensive line has been breached by the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troop once again."

These words unquestionably added insult to injury for those present...

The Daijin clenched their teeth, "What? How much time has passed? It's been breached again?"

"Even if there's a gap between soul tools, it can't have been crushed in such a short amount of time, right?"

"Could it be that the enemy used a Ninth-grade Soul Guidance Device? Hasn't it been confirmed that Mingde Hall has been destroyed?"

Yan Shaozhe and the other two from Sea God's Pavilion said nothing, merely staring intently at the Soul Master...

Dai Hao barked, "Speak clearly, what exactly happened!"

The Soul Master bowed his head and confessed, "The Sun-Moon Empire did not use Ninth-grade Soul Guidance Devices, it's that our... our Soul Master Troop... surrendered! The enemy broke through the defense line without even suffering a single casualty..."

Dai Hao's pupils contracted, and he instinctively looked back over his shoulder...

He sighed, "Even if Soul Masters have soul tools at their disposal, have they completely lost the will to fight?"

He believed that this would not be an isolated incident! It was very likely that subsequent defense lines would suffer the same fate!

Xuan Ziwen abruptly said, "Now, the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire have no strength to turn back, whether in high-end combat power or soul tools, they are completely in a state of being crushed..."

If they had some hope when they came to support the Xingluo Empire before, it had already been completely exhausted now...

Cai Mei'er bit her thin lips and said, "Right! If all the defenses encounter this, it will only take one day for the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troops to attack here..."

Seeing Xuan Ziwen and Cai Mei'er both make such statements, the other Daijin sounded somewhat disheartened, "Then what can we do, just watch them attack us?"

"I'm afraid our Xingluo Empire really can't escape this disaster..."

"Since that's the case, it's better to let the Soul Masters give up resistance to avoid unnecessary sacrifices..."

Dai Hao, upon hearing these words, wanted to speak out against them, but didn't know how to start...

He himself didn't know on what grounds they could defeat the Sun-Moon Empire...

After a while, Yan Shaozhe, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly stood up, and with a hint of shame in his voice, said to Dai Hao, "Duke White Tiger, we at the Sea God's Pavilion are helpless in this battle, we'll take our leave first!"

Having said that, he turned around and began walking away, and Xuan Ziwen and Cai Mei'er, seeing this, also stood up, took a deep look at Dai Hao and the Daijin, nodded slightly, then turned and followed...

Watching the three leave in a rather dispirited manner, Dai Hao immediately spoke up to stop them, "The three of you, please wait!"

As his words fell, Yan Shaozhe and the others halted their departing steps...

Dai Hao stood up straight, and with profound sincerity said, "This time, although the Xingluo Empire hasn't managed to survive this catastrophe, we will always remember the tremendous help you at the Sea God's Pavilion have provided!"

Having spoken, he sincerely bowed deeply to Yan Shaozhe and the other two...

Sea God's Pavilion had paid such a heavy price to help them, this bow!

Yan Shaozhe uttered a soft "Hmm," and the three of them then left the great hall...

"Issue the order, let all Soul Masters give up resistance..."

Having said this, Dai Hao slumped into his seat as if he had aged decades in an instant and closed his eyes...

The other Daijin also bowed their heads reluctantly...

Because everyone knew that the Xingluo Empire... had already fallen...

...

And at the border of the Xingluo Empire!

The Blazing Sun Douluo, now with added scars on his body, looked ahead with complicated eyes, where lay the lifeless corpse of a Titled Douluo...

He slowly clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, which kept emitting scorching flames, aimed at the corpse, and fiercely shot an arrow...

As soon as the fiery red arrow touched the corpse, it ignited it instantly, as if triggering a fuse...

A few seconds later, the entire corpse was reduced to ashes under the burning flames...

Subsequently, a Soul Douluo standing respectfully beside the Blazing Sun Douluo asked, "Lord Blazing Sun Douluo, how should we deal with those Soul Masters from the Xingluo Empire up ahead?"

The Blazing Sun Douluo glanced at him coldly, "Spare them a path to life, continue the assault forward!"

The Soul Douluo felt a chill crawl up his back and shouted loudly, "Everyone! Do not engage the Soul Masters of the Xingluo Empire ahead, ignore them and continue to advance!!"

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Following this, the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troops continued their assault on the next city of the Xingluo Empire...
