System Reward: Three-Word Battle Armor, Journey to the Sun Moon Empire

Four Titled Douluo were defeated in an instant, including the Medicine Immortal Douluo, who excelled most at healing. Dai Hao and the others had never expected such a crushing defeat, and their faces turned ashen.

"This isn't even their true foundation. The strength of a single city actually rivals that of an entire nation..."

The Medicine Immortal Douluo's voice trembled slightly.

In the sky, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Demon Subduing Douluo, and the other two released all nine of their soul rings at once. Their extraordinary might bore down upon those below, leaving them barely able to breathe beneath the immense pressure.

"We lost..."

Although Giant Force Douluo was filled with unwillingness, there was nothing he could do now. Only the two of them remained. Even against the remaining five, what chance did they have?

"Hmph."

Demon Subduing Douluo and the others snorted coldly and ignored them.

"I thought Titled Douluo ten thousand years later would be much more formidable. Now it seems they are nothing special. Still, those soul tools truly are troublesome."

Holding his Coiling Dragon Staff, Demon Subduing Douluo had to admit the power of soul tools. Had they not already condensed Soul Cores, the soul tools might truly have closed the gap between them.

[You have defeated six Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire head-on. Wuhun City's reputation has thoroughly spread. Mission complete. Reward: Three-Word Battle Armor! Wuhun City fortune +1, naturally blessed cultivation ground!]

Boom—!

Mu Yunye felt a vast force surge forth within him. It was a special soul tool, yet it seemed to possess sentience, as though it had life.

At that moment, it fused with his flesh, blood, and soul, becoming like a second life to him. This was Battle Armor far beyond the current era—indeed, it was directly a Three-Word Battle Armor!

[The host may name the Battle Armor to completely unleash its power!]

Hearing the system's voice in his mind, Mu Yunye pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I can sense that this Battle Armor was born for my Elemental Sword. In that case..."

"I name it Sword Star God!"

A hum arose from within his flesh and blood. Mu Yunye sensed the power within him completing its transformation as the full strength of the Three-Word Battle Armor erupted, enough to let him kill across major cultivation realms.

"Is it my imagination? Why does the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within Wuhun City seem to have grown even denser..."

Qian Renxue suddenly spoke softly from beside him.

"Perhaps it isn't an illusion."

Mu Yunye chuckled.

By then, Dai Hao and the others had already retreated in defeat. Mu Yunye did not have Demon Subduing Douluo and the others pursue them, instead allowing them to leave. After this battle, all the people from various factions who had come to investigate Wuhun City witnessed its terrifying power.

"How terrifying... We must quickly report the news here to the elders of Sea God Pavilion."

"Are they truly from Wuhun City of ten thousand years ago..."

Bei Bei wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Ma Xiaotao's gaze rested on Mu Yunye atop the city wall. This man was so mysterious, but why was he able to become Wuhun City's Holy Son...

"There are plenty of historical records concerning Wuhun City. We only know that it once had a Holy Maiden named Hu Liena, but there has never been any record of a Holy Son."

The group exchanged glances, all unclear about the situation.

"Let's leave first. We need to report everything here truthfully to the elders of Sea God Pavilion. This is not something we can decide."

Ma Xiaotao said.

The group swiftly departed and vanished. The members of the various factions within the city also prepared to report this matter to the powerful figures behind them, their hearts filled with shock.

At that moment, Mu Yunye received a brand-new mission from the system.

[Mission triggered: This is an excellent opportunity for Wuhun City to declare its stance. Kill a sufficient number of evil soul masters within the Sun Moon Empire to obtain the title Junior Evil Soul Master Slayer. Mission completion reward: Soul Ascension Method!]

[Use one's own soul power to nurture soul rings, allowing them to continuously rise in age. Maximum limit: one million years.]

Mu Yunye was slightly taken aback. He had to take the initiative and kill evil soul masters...

"The Sun Moon Empire?"

Qian Renxue was startled and asked Mu Yunye, "Yunye, why are we suddenly going to the Sun Moon Empire?"

"The Sun Moon Empire is currently the nation on the Douluo Continent where soul tool technology is advancing the fastest. It might also be called the nation with the strongest overall national power. This journey may allow us to gather useful intelligence."

"Whether it is the soul tool technology hidden within the Hall of Virtue, the formations and arrangements of various soul tools, or the training of Soul Engineer Corps, all of it will benefit Wuhun City's development."

"And this trip... is also to kill some evil soul masters."

As he said this, Mu Yunye looked at Qian Renxue with meaningful eyes. "Sister Xue, over there..."

"You will also meet the Angel Clan's successor in this era. However, her circumstances are not very good. Evil soul masters have set their sights on her."

"What?!"

Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu both revealed shocked expressions. Did the Angel Clan truly still have a successor in this era? But why would she be in the Sun Moon Empire?!

"Yunye, does this era truly still have a successor of the Angel Clan?"

Qian Daoliu asked.

"Yes, but..."

Mu Yunye's tone carried a trace of helplessness. "After the Angel God's divine position shattered ten thousand years ago, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Spirit no longer appeared. The Angel bloodline Martial Spirit passed down through inheritance also devolved from the Six-Winged Angel into the Sacred Angel Martial Spirit."

"..."

Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled slightly. She had never expected that the Angel Clan's territory ten thousand years later would decline to such a state because of her.

Mu Yunye moved his lips but said nothing further.

If she learned that Angel Martial Spirits were not tolerated by evil soul masters in this era, and that anyone discovered would be hunted to the death, she would likely turn hostile on the spot and go slaughter the evil soul masters...

"I'll go with you."

Qian Renxue spoke without hesitation.

"I'm going too."

Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice. Mu Yunye was stunned. What was this great figure going for?!

"Since the Sun Moon Empire is the place where evil soul masters are most rampant, I naturally must go and see for myself. As the Angel God's High Priest, I have a duty to slay these sinful people who exist in this world."

Qian Daoliu's tone was calm, but it contained intense killing intent. If he could...

He truly wanted to charge straight into the Holy Spirit Church and slaughter them!

[Wuhun City provides free Martial Spirit awakenings for the impoverished villages in the surrounding remote areas. Wuhun City fortune +1, rare metal resources increased by 50%!]

[Wuhun City distributes Soul Master Subsidies to civilian soul masters. Wuhun City fortune +1, Wuhun City property reserves increased by 200%!]

"..."

Mu Yunye could not hide the shock in his heart. At that moment, he roughly understood the system's purpose: passively triggered rewards were likely boosts directed at Wuhun City's fortune and resources!

As for missions actively triggered like the one just now—

They were rewards exclusive to the system, along with rewards that increased Wuhun City's fortune. Therefore, Mu Yunye's foremost task was to complete the system's actively triggered missions.
