The night was deep, the cold wind like blades. Qian Daoliu slowly came to a stop in midair, like a ray of golden light piercing the dawn.
Before him stood a towering city.
"So this is Star Luo City, the imperial capital of Star Luo?" Qian Daoliu murmured as he looked down at the magnificent city below.
Compared to Heaven Dou City, the Star Luo City before him was grander, more imposing, and far more focused on defense.
Entirely unlike the Heaven Dou Empire, whose imperial family had been continuously declining and growing ever more corrupt, the Star Luo Empire's imperial family had always been known for its strength!
The rule they upheld was simple and brutal: the strong lived, the weak died! And within the Dai Family of the Star Luo imperial family, this simple rule was at its most terrifying!
The Star Luo imperial family's method of choosing an emperor was exceptionally cruel. Only by killing all of one's own brothers in a life-and-death struggle could the survivor earn the right to inherit the Star Luo throne.
As for those who lost? Their fates were equally miserable. At best, their cultivation would be crippled and they would be imprisoned; at worst, they would be killed outright!
It was precisely this nearly barbaric, bloody method of succession that forged the Star Luo Empire's fierce national character, ensuring that every generation of Star Luo Emperor was never soft-hearted!
Thus, compared to the Heaven Dou Empire, anyone capable of inheriting the Star Luo throne was a powerful ruler, never a weak one.
Not only that, the Dai Family of the Star Luo imperial family and the Zhu Family, a hereditary ducal family, had intermarried for generations.
The Dai Family's White Tiger Martial Soul and the Zhu Family's Nether Civet Martial Soul
were able to perform a martial soul fusion, giving birth to the renowned Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Hell White Tiger!
Within the world of Soul Masters, a Wuhun Fusion Skill was an exceptionally terrifying ability, and also an extremely rare one.
Even two ordinary Soul Douluo, if they could use a Wuhun Fusion Skill, could gain the power of a Titled Douluo.
Just like the two elders of Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Though both of their Soul Power levels were Rank 95,
they could use the Wuhun Fusion Skill, Bipolar Static Domain! It could instantly imprison space and time.
Do not be fooled by the fact that they were merely Rank 95 Titled Douluo. If they unleashed Bipolar Static Domain, they could even restrain Rank 96 and Rank 97 Super Douluo!
That was the terror of a Wuhun Fusion Skill, and also the foundation of the Dai Family of the Star Luo imperial family! A Soul Douluo could unleash the power of a Titled Douluo, while a Titled Douluo could unleash even greater power!
Boom...
Golden light flashed around Qian Daoliu's body, and his figure became a golden bolt of lightning as he shot straight toward the heart of Star Luo City—the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
The gap in strength between the two imperial families was also enormous. After all, the Tiantou Imperial Family's inherited Wuhun was the gentle and elegant Bai He, while the Star Luo imperial family's inherited Wuhun was the fierce and violent White Tiger.
"What is that?" Compared to Heaven Dou City's defenses, Star Luo City's defenses were clearly far more formidable.
Upon Star Luo City's towering walls, a captain leading the night patrol suddenly raised his head. As he looked at the golden light approaching Star Luo City through the night sky, his pupils abruptly shrank.
As the golden light drew nearer, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon him, crushing him until he could not breathe.
"Something's wrong! This aura is too powerful—it's a powerful enemy! And a Titled Douluo at that! It is definitely a Titled Douluo-level expert."
The guard captain immediately shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! We are under attack! The entire city, be on alert! The entire city, be on alert!"
Dong dong dong...
Dong dong dong...
Dong dong dong...
The piercing alarm bells rang throughout Star Luo City. Most of the guards stationed on the walls were ordinary people.
Yet any Soul Master with even a little strength could clearly feel the incomparably terrifying oppression when that golden light flew overhead!
In their understanding, anyone with such an aura was certainly no ordinary Soul Douluo. A Titled Douluo must have arrived.
Of course, these lowly soldiers could never have imagined that the person daring to charge alone into the Star Luo imperial capital tonight was not an ordinary Titled Douluo at all, but a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo.
As the alarms blared, every force stationed throughout Star Luo City sprang into action.
The density and frequency of these alarm bells could only mean that an incredibly terrifying enemy was attacking Star Luo City.
Step...
Step...
Step...
Dense footsteps and the clashing of armor echoed through the streets. Countless city-defense troops rapidly assembled and rushed from every direction toward where the golden light had descended.
At the same time, the Royal Knights, an elite force directly under the Star Luo imperial family, also mobilized in full! Every member of the Royal Knights was a high-level Soul Master selected through countless rounds of screening, and they were superbly equipped.
The major noble families within Star Luo City that were affiliated with the Star Luo imperial family were also startled awake. Countless powerful auras erupted into the night as they rushed toward the Star Luo Imperial Palace to surround and intercept the intruder.
Among them, the Zhu Family-led forces reacted the fastest. The current Patriarch Zhu was a powerful Soul Douluo with a Soul Power level in the high eighties! He had already led the core experts of his family out in full force.
Qian Daoliu arrived at a location not far from the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
He paid no attention to the soldiers and Soul Masters closing in around him. They were all ants—was there even a need to distinguish between them?!
The golden light gradually faded. Qian Daoliu held the Angel Holy Sword, his long golden hair whipping wildly in the night wind. His gaze swept indifferently across the crowds rapidly gathering around him, his expression utterly unchanged.
These people were city-defense soldiers, elites of the Royal Knights, and Soul Masters from the major families within Star Luo City.
"Who are you?! How dare you cause trouble in our Star Luo City?!"
Patriarch Zhu flashed forward and landed at the very front of the formation. Clearly, this group was led by him.
He stared at Qian Daoliu and sternly rebuked him, "Your aura may be powerful, but this is the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire!"
"Even if you are a Titled Douluo-level expert, surrounded by so many of us, do not think you can leave here alive!"
Within the world of Soul Masters, Qian Daoliu had secluded himself in Spirit Hall for many years and rarely revealed his true appearance to the outside world. Patriarch Zhu and the people of the Star Luo Empire before him did not recognize that he was Qian Daoliu!
If they had recognized him as Qian Daoliu, forget about making threats—they would have wanted nothing more than to kneel and beg for mercy! A Rank 99 Peerless Douluo! Was a Peerless Douluo someone ants like them could possibly kill?!
Qian Daoliu first swept his gaze over everyone present, then let it fall upon Patriarch Zhu. "Ants..."
"What did you say? Ants? You called me an ant?" Upon hearing that, Patriarch Zhu immediately felt insulted, and his face darkened at once.
"How arrogantly conceited! You are merely a Titled Douluo! All troops, heed my command! Kill him! Leave no one alive!"
Ants? Even ants, given sufficient numbers, could bite an elephant to death. Besides, you were only a Titled Douluo, not a Super Douluo, much less a Peerless Douluo!
