Sun-Moon Empire

Two months later, in the depths of the ocean.

The massive body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King cleaved through the sea surface, creating towering waves hundreds of feet high.

But under Ye Hua's gaze, it obediently slowed down and slowly docked in the distant sea on the unfamiliar coast.

"Wait here."

Ye Hua patted the whale's back, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King let out a low growl, obediently sinking into the deep water, leaving only its back, like a small island, protruding above the surface.

The group walked on the waves, their toes touching the seawater, and landed steadily on the beach.

"Finally here!" Bai Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, stepped onto solid ground, and jumped up and down excitedly.

Ning Rongrong frowned slightly and looked around.

The coastline is long, and the vegetation is completely different from that of the continent they are familiar with.

"Ye Hua, why did we travel so far?" she asked, puzzled. "We clearly found the Divine Relics."

Ye Hua shook his head, "No, it won't work. They're too low-level; they're all Third-Level God."

"There are still some Second-Level God, but they are all buried underground. I just asked the Empire to excavate them, and it will take another year and a half."

Ning Rongrong's lips twitched. They had all heard Ye Hua talk about the hierarchy of gods.

Although it's unknown how Ye Hua learned this, Wang Qiu'er speculated that perhaps the Lord told him?

"The First-Level God Legacy is truly extinct," Ye Hua sighed.

But we can't force it.

Sea God, Thunder God, Fire God, and the Seven Original Sin Gods —that makes ten!

With no other option, Treasure-Seeking Compass pointing to the Deep Sea, they had no choice but to use the Big Whale as a mount and set sail to try their luck.

Xiao Wu grabbed Ye Hua's arm, "Brother, look over there."

Everyone followed her gaze.

Not far from the coast, there is a small fishing village.

Several fishing boats were stranded on the mudflats, and fishermen were bending over to collect shellfish.

But what caught Xiao Wu's attention was their clothing.

The clothes were made of coarse linen with a simple pattern, but the way they were cut was completely different from those in the Douluo Continent.

He wore a wide cloth belt around his waist, a pointed conical hat, and even his skin was dark, as if he had been weathered by the sea breeze and scorching sun for many years.

"Their clothes are so strange," Xiao Wu tilted her head. "I'll go ask them."

She had only taken two steps when the fishermen looked up and saw them, their expressions changing drastically.

They didn't even bother with their catch, just threw down their bamboo baskets and ran away, leaving no one behind in the blink of an eye.

"Do we look like monsters?" Xiao Wu asked, looking aggrieved.

Ye Hua's eyes narrowed slightly. "Something's not right."

Rumble!!!

The sound of horses' hooves interrupted my thoughts.

The ground trembled, and dust flew everywhere.

A cavalry unit of over a hundred riders charged in from behind the hills.

Warhorses clad in iron armor, knights in standard armor, their formation impeccable, exuding a chilling aura of menace.

In the blink of an eye, they surrounded everyone.

Ning Rongrong frowned. "What are you doing?"

The cavalry captain was a burly man, his face mask covering half of his face, revealing only his cold, stern eyes.

He sneered, "That's a question I should be asking you."

"What brings you here, stranger?"

"Your Soul Tool have been detected for a long time!"

"Riding around on Sea Soul Beast like that, he's obviously not a good person!"

Behind him, a young cavalryman muttered, "Captain, they don't know about Soul Tool."

"Indeed," the captain scoffed, "How could outsiders know the empire's hard work!"

Wang Qiu'er raised an eyebrow; those words were truly grating.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Wang Qiu'er pointed at Ye Hua, "The ancestor of Soul Tool is right here!"

The beach fell silent instantly.

Then, the cavalrymen burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Him? The inventor of Soul Tool?"

"Hilarious, do you even know what Soul Tool is?"

"Out-of-towners brag without even thinking!"

Wang Qiu'er's face turned cold.

She reached her right hand into her waistband, Three-Eyed Icefire Guns slid out of her palm.

Click.

The trigger was pulled.

Boom!!!

The ice and fire projectile pierced the barrel, leaving a dazzling trail of flame as it shot straight into the sky.

It exploded hundreds of meters in the air, with ice crystals and flames intertwining to create a dazzling display of fireworks.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

All the cavalrymen's expressions changed drastically.

"It's Soul Tool! She really has one!"

"No! This power is at least that of a level five Soul Tool!"

The captain immediately roared, "Put down your weapons!"

Hundreds of guns were all aimed at Wang Qiu'er.

Ye Hua then realized that they weren't using traditional knight's lances.

Instead, it's Soul Guidance Firearm resembling a rifle from the last century!

"I told you to put down your weapons!" the captain said warily.

Wang Qiu'er curled her lip in disdain, and Ye Hua finally spoke.

"Stop."

The warhorse's forelegs suddenly buckled to their knees!

Caught off guard, the cavalrymen were thrown from their horses and left dazed and confused.

"What the hell?!" The cavalryman was dumbfounded.

They watched helplessly as their close companions, who spent every day with them, rushed forward, eager to be patted on the head.

The cavalry captain was completely stunned by the fall.

The horse is Hundred-Year Soul Beast, the human starts as Soul King, and the team is Cavalry Special Operations Team.

So, a stranger gave him a meaningful look, and he made a complete fool of himself?

Ye Hua bent down. "Sir, may I ask where this place is?"

The captain gritted his teeth, his soldierly pride overcoming his fear.

"Sun-Moon Empire, if you know what's good for you, leave!"

The girls looked at each other, confused; they'd never heard of it.

Ye Hua felt a chill run down his spine; it turned out to be the empire with the most advanced Soul Tool.

While Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire were still using swords, spears, crossbows, and arrows, the Sun-Moon Empire had long since completed equipping its entire legion with Soul Tool.

Driven by interest, a plan formed in his mind. "Take me to see your leader."

The captain glared at him, "Kill me if you want!"

"As an elite soldier of the empire, I will never lead the way for the enemy!"

"Tsk," Ye Hua raised an eyebrow, "We just logged in by chance and wanted to exchange information on Soul Tool technology."

"Pah!" the captain spat. "Kill me if you want, don't try to fool me!"

Ye Hua was helpless.

Soul Power flowed, rising from beneath his feet, and all nine rings turned red!

The warhorses lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to even neigh.

The captain's eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backward!

Bang!!!

Faint!

Ye Lingling was speechless. "This is supposed to be the Empire's elite?"

She shook her head and used her Soul Power to fetch seawater to pour down on the water.

The captain was jolted awake by the cold water and sat up abruptly.

"Impossible! Soul Ring can only have a maximum of eight!"

Ye Hua:???

Girls:???

"Isn't the maximum number of Soul Ring nine?" Wang Qiu'er counted on her fingers.

"Yeah," Xiao Wu chimed in, "Titled Douluo is a nine-ringed Douluo."

The captain looked at them, his face blank, as if he were listening to gibberish.

Xiao Wu shook her head and simply revealed her Soul Ring; the others followed suit.

Seeing that everyone in front of him had nine rings, the captain decisively fainted again!

Ye Hua touched his forehead and splashed Water Element to wake him up.

"Listen carefully," Ye Hua said patiently, "We mean no harm."

"I just happened to land on the Sun-Moon Continent and wanted to exchange and learn from others using Soul Tool."

"Take me to see your leader, or I can go find him myself."

The captain's lips moved, but when he met Ye Hua's gaze, he swallowed back the harsh words that were about to come out.

"I'll take you there!"

Oh, I'm definitely not a coward, I'm risking my life to keep them by my side!

Protecting the unarmed Baixin in this way, I am so great, the Legion Commander will understand!

The other cavalrymen followed sheepishly, their formation scattered and utterly lacking in prestige.

After a while, the military camp was built against the cliff face overlooking the sea.

The watchtower stands tall, and caves have been carved into the cliff face, where the faint glow of Soul Guidance Lamp can be seen.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen." The cavalry captain dashed into the camp.

Before long, he brought out a middle-aged man in his forties.

He wore a dark red cloak, had a sword at his waist, a resolute face, and a scar that pierced his left eye.

"Dad, these are the strangers from out of town who want to see you!"

The cavalry captain had a red handprint on his face, and his mouth was crooked.

The Legion Commander frowned, but when he saw Ye Hua's unretracted Soul Ring, he immediately gasped!
