On the beach, in a deep crater, four Titled Douluo sat in a row.
Silver Moon Douluo, Heaven-Destroying Douluo, Blazing Sun Douluo, and Taotie Douluo.
Even with the boost from Four-Word Battle Armor, the Level 98 Taotie Douluo had been no match for Red Dragon Douluo's volcanic assault. Now he could only sit in the crater, covered in dust and dirt.
Red Dragon Douluo and Crimson Typhoon stood on the shore, looking down at the four of them. Swift No. 1 had finished its repairs and was circling high above on guard.
"I warned you not to challenge the Blue Silver Empire's authority, but you wouldn't listen."
"You wouldn't drink the wine offered in respect, so you got the wine served as punishment. Well, you've had your fill today."
The four Titled Douluo sat there with their heads drooping and their faces dark. None said a word.
Red Dragon Douluo had a fiery temper and paid them no mind. With a casual wave, he drew their four Storage Soul Tools into his hand.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"Give me back my Soul Tool!"
"A warrior may be killed, but never—"
Red Dragon Douluo ignored them. His Soul Power surged, and the ferocious pressure of a Limit Douluo swept across the battlefield once more. The four fell silent at once.
They were genuinely afraid this brute would kill them on the spot.
They had seen enough of how he fought. He was an utterly reckless lout!
He attacked without so much as a warning. Before he had finished his second sentence on arriving, he had already unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar.
They had never seen a Titled Douluo with such an explosive temper!
Taotie Douluo usually did as he pleased, domineering beyond measure. Today, even he had gone mute, sitting obediently with a dark face and saying nothing.
Meanwhile,
the barrage in the sky-screen livestream had gone wild. Every message expressed disbelief or shock!
[Douluo Continent · Theory Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang]: "This makes no sense. There must be a trick! How could armor be this powerful?! It's an illusion! I suspect this is all an illusion! That's right. I've never heard of this so-called Sun Moon Continent or Blue Silver Continent. The sky screen must be an illusion! This so-called Sun Moon Continent must be a fabrication!" [Sun Moon Continent · Holy Spirit Cult disciple]: "Yu Xiaogang, shut your mouth! Our Supreme Elder ended up in such a miserable state because he listened to you! Still calling it an illusion? Illusion, my ass!" [Douluo Continent · Thousand-Hand Buddha Tang San]: "Silence! For slandering my teacher like that, you've marked yourself for death! My teacher is right. Even the Tang family's Hidden Weapon arts, which I created myself, can't overcome such a gap in cultivation. This so-called Battle Armor must be fake!" [Blue Silver Continent · Blacksmith Association's Zhen Dan]: "A summer insect cannot speak of ice. You ignorant natives don't understand the power of Battle Armor and mecha. How pitiful, living your whole lives inside your own dream." [Douluo Continent · Resting Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun]: "What are you feeling sorry for? You're putting on airs! Come to Douluo Continent if you have the guts. We'll show you Blue Silver Continent what ignorance and savagery really look like! When the time comes, each of us will take on three of you!"
On the battlefield, Red Dragon Douluo had just sent his spiritual power into the Titled Douluo's Soul Tools to see what valuables they carried. The next instant, his head snapped up, and he looked toward the inland road nearby.
Rumble...
Black clouds pressed across the sky, and a killing chill rolled toward the shore.
As the dark mass advanced, its shapes gradually came into focus.
The soldiers wore matching uniforms and rode Ironclad Beasts. Their hooves struck the earth in perfect unison!
There were also Soul Engineer troops in shining silver armor, Soul Cannons in hand, along with several loaded Soul Cannons ready to fire. This was the Sun Moon Empire's legion of high-ranking Soul Masters and Soul Engineers!
An army bore down, sealing the frontier in iron!
And that was not all. Six figures rose into the air above the legion, one after another. Each radiated formidable Soul Power. To display their might, they even released their Soul Rings in the sky!
All six had the standard optimal Soul Ring Configuration. All six were Titled Douluo!
The soldiers of the high-ranking Soul Master legion released their Soul Rings as well. In an instant, their terrifying Soul Power seemed to subdue the entire world. Looking down, one could no longer see the ground—only a dense sea of Soul Rings in every color!
The combined might of the legion bore down on a thousand miles of sea!
[Douluo Continent · Heaven Dou Emperor Xue Ye]: "Is... is that Sun Moon Continent's army?!" [Sun Moon Continent · Know-It-All]: "What am I seeing? The Iron Armor Army, the Silverlight Soul Tool Legion, and several Level 8 Soul Cannons?!" [Sun Moon Continent · Know-Everything]: "That's nothing. Didn't you see the Titled Douluo who flew up? Leading them is Heaven Dragon Douluo, an imperial elder. He's a genuine Limit Douluo! And that man in black is Zhongli Bai, the imperial preceptor. He's a Limit Douluo too! Beside him is Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe! Damn, more than half the empire's top fighters are here! This so-called Red Dragon Douluo is probably as good as dead." [Douluo Continent · Seven Treasures Witch Ning Rongrong]: "How can there be so many Titled Douluo?! And that army—I can feel its oppressive presence even through the sky screen!" [Douluo Continent · Resting Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun]: "So that's the senior Phoenix Douluo! He really does look magnificent. Just from the way he stands, I can tell he's no ordinary fighter! Senior Phoenix, you're my idol!"
The Four-Word Battle Armor beneath Red Dragon Douluo's skin activated on its own, covering his entire body in an instant and raising his strength to the level of a Limit Douluo.
He rose slowly into the air, facing the approaching Sun Moon Empire army alone.
Ye Gucheng, piloting Crimson Typhoon, had recovered by now. He shot upward and hovered beside Red Dragon Douluo.
Before them stood the Sun Moon Empire's two Limit Douluo, along with Super Douluo, Titled Douluo, and Soul Douluo. Tens of thousands of troops lined the coast.
Behind them stretched the vast, empty sea, boundless as far as the eye could see.
On the battlefield, Heaven Dragon Douluo stood in his Heaven Dragon Robe. His gaze was indifferent. He said nothing, merely staring coldly at Red Dragon Douluo.
The moment Taotie Douluo saw his allies arrive, his arrogance swelled again. He began to rise as he spoke:
"The two of you against the Sun Moon army!
The advantage is ours. Surrender while you can!"
The Sun Moon Empire's powerhouses looked on with eager eyes. Taotie was right. They were certain to win this battle.
Even if Red Dragon Douluo had strength comparable to a Limit Douluo, he was still only one man.
Against two genuine Level 99 Limit Douluo fighting together, countless high-ranking fighters, and an encircling army of a million Soul Engineers, he had no chance of winning.
Yet Red Dragon Douluo remained as ferocious as ever!
He brought his foot down hard on Taotie Douluo, kicking him flat again just as he straightened up.
"Did I say you could get up?!"
Taotie Douluo got a mouthful of dirt, and his face turned green with rage.
"How dare you! Even with death at your door, you still dare humiliate me!"
Heaven Dragon Douluo looked coldly at Red Dragon Douluo and spoke in an icy voice:
"Release the four of them, and I'll give you a chance at a fair fight."
Red Dragon Douluo swept his gaze across the army before him. There was no fear in his eyes—only a peculiar frenzy.
"You think you've got me beaten again?"
From Crimson Typhoon's cockpit, Ye Gucheng's voice remained as calm as ever.
"Since it's come to this, are you ready to welcome the Blue Silver Empire's Fleet?"
As his words fell, a vast shadow that blotted out the sky broke slowly through the waves far out at sea behind them and bore down on the shore!
The Wanderer Mothership had arrived!
