Sky Soul Empire!
Explosions sounded unceasingly from atop the city walls, mingled with the inhuman wails of countless Sky Soul Empire Soul Masters...
"Ah, ah, ah! My hand! My hand!"
"So terrifying! What level of soul tool is this?!"
"Our defensive soul tools can't withstand it at all! Their soul tool attacks are too strong!"
"The casualties have already surpassed two thousand, this battle is simply a one-sided crush!"
One of the Soul Sages turned to Green Rhino Douluo beside him and said, "Green Rhino Douluo, the enemy's level of soul tools is too high, it's like they are completely ignoring our defenses."
The short time since the battle began had already resulted in a thousand dead or wounded on their side, but not a single casualty on the enemy's side!
The overall strength was worlds apart from the vanguard unit of the Sun-Moon Empire they had faced before!
If the battle continued this way, the enemy would wipe them out with zero casualties!
Green Rhino Douluo clenched his fists, his face ugly as he cursed, "Damn it! How could this happen? Even if we destroyed the level 9 soul tools of the Sun-Moon Empire's Mingde Hall, we still can't resist their Soul Master Troop!"
If this went on, wouldn't the four Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and their three Hyper Douluos of the Sky Soul Empire have sacrificed in vain?
Another Titled Douluo beside him gritted his teeth in anger, "Then why don't we rush up and fight them!"
The enemy always stayed out of the range of their soul tools, leaving the Sky Soul Empire Soul Masters with no choice but to passively take the beating!
Green Rhino Douluo decisively rejected the idea, "No! Rushing up rashly would only increase the casualties of the Soul Masters!"
Seeing that nothing could be done, the Titled Douluo beside him shouted in frustration, "Then what should we do, huh? Just wait here for death?!"
Green Rhino Douluo fell silent at these impassioned words...
After a long moment, he spoke with unwavering resolve, "Hold! That's the only thing we can do, even if it just delays them for one more second…"
Hearing these words, the Titled Douluo calmed down too, looking toward the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Master Troop in the distance with a sigh, "...We have no other choice."
As for the Soul Master Troop of the Sun-Moon Empire, they could even chat leisurely while bombarding the city of the Sky Soul Empire...
One Soul Master laughed loudly, "Hahaha, they have no power to fight back, probably already thousands of casualties! This is the might of our elite Sun-Moon Empire Soul Masters!"
Another Soul Master said curiously, "What do you think, how much longer will these guys last before they surrender? I bet half an hour!"
"I bet an hour!"
"I bet ten minutes. With our firepower, crushing them is a breeze!"
"Never fought such an easy battle before, we're just bombarding them at will, and they can't even fight back, it's so satisfying!"
And Wind Douluo, who stood at the forefront of the Sun-Moon Empire Soul Master Troop, sneered after hearing these words, "That's only because of who is leading the team! All of you, increase the firepower, turn those nuisances into souls under the shells!"
A Soul Douluo suggested, "Wind Douluo, why don't we have the troops advance? Otherwise, we're wasting too much time!"
Moreover, if the other side kept getting Soul Master reinforcements, this battle would waste a lot more time...
Wind Douluo glared at him coldly and scolded, "Are you an idiot? They have that terrifying ninth-grade soul tool, capable of wiping out thousands within its range in an instant! Even high-grade defense soul tools would find it hard to resist!"
"Letting the Soul Master Troop get close to them is the same as telling the enemy to hurry up and wipe us out with that thing, isn't it?"
He had been at a disadvantage because of the bizarre soul tool last time, and he was willing to slow down their attack as long as it ensured there wouldn't be too many casualties!
After all, the Soul Master Troop he led, along with the one led by the Blazing Sun Douluo, were the last of the Sun-Moon Empire's foundational military forces!
If there were unpredictable casualties, it wouldn't be the other two empires in danger but the Sun-Moon Empire, drained of Soul Masters!
The Soul Douluo's lips twitched, not daring to show any displeasure...
He respectfully said, "Yes, Wind Douluo, I was shortsighted!"
Wind Douluo barked again, "You know you're shortsighted and still you're not using the soul tool to bombard them faster?"
Soul Douluo: "..."
...
Within the Haotian Sect's Hall...
Only to see that aside from Niu Tian and Titan in the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master's seats, there were other Elders of the Haotian Sect...
The Great Elder of Haotian Sect spoke with a grave expression, "Sect Master, according to the reports from our sent disciples, the Xingluo and Sky Soul Empires are completely suppressed by the Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master Troop and it won't be long before they are breached!"
The Second Elder of the Haotian Sect nodded and added, "Once the two empires are breached, even if the other sects disagree, it won't make a difference. The continent will definitely be unified by the Sun-Moon Empire!"
A hint of surprise appeared in Niu Tian's eyes as he turned to the Great Elder of the Haotian Sect and inquired, "Hm? Isn't there the presence of Shrek Academy?"
Shrek Academy wouldn't possibly just watch idly as two great empires were decimated...
The Great Elder of the Haotian Sect pursed his lips, explaining, "Sect Master, Shrek Academy has already dispatched seven Elders of the Sea God Pavilion to the Sky Soul and Xingluo Empires, respectively, with four sacrificed entirely while attempting to destroy the Mingde Hall in the Sun-Moon Empire, and it seems the remaining three have also given up hope on victory and have abandoned their support."
Upon hearing this, Titan took a sharp breath, "Sss... with the loss of four Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy must be nearly struggling to survive by now!"
The third elder of the Haotian Sect analyzed, "Once the Sun-Moon Empire unifies the continent, they will definitely find a way to eliminate Shrek Academy, and then it will be our turn, the more powerful sects."
Then he added, "Sect Master, shouldn't we do something?"
With a murky look in his eyes, Niu Tian replied coldly, "No... no matter what becomes of the entire continent, it's none of our concern as long as it doesn't involve the Haotian Sect. There's no need for us to make a move against any side!"
His and Titan's task was merely to protect the Haotian Sect and Tang Wutong. As for other matters, they could choose to ignore them...
Titan coughed slightly beside him, maintaining his composure as he spoke, "Ahem... with that, today's discussion concludes, Elders, please return."
Upon this statement, the Elders of the Haotian Sect, resigned to the situation, exchanged glances and then stood up to leave the Haotian Sect's hall...
They were just elders after all, who could at most offer suggestions, but the final decisions depended on the will of the Sect Master...
Once they had left, Titan said with an urgent tone, "Big brother, with the loss of four Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, do you think Qian Yu might be among them?"
Niu Tian glanced at Titan thoughtfully, "It's possible, but the odds are slim, don't forget his Spatial Soul Skill, which makes it difficult for even an Ultimate Douluo to catch him..."
"Besides, what we should worry about is Xiao Wu Tong, why worry about that kid?"
Propping his chin, Titan mused, "Seems like... that is indeed the case?"
