"Report!"

"Frontline report!"

"Body Sect Master Du Busi has detonated himself!"

"Long Xiaoyao did not die, but retreated to the Sun Moon Empire with injuries!"

"The princess and the consort were caught in the aftermath and shattered into jade fragments as well, though only the princess left behind a complete body..."

Originally, Luo Feng felt that this battle was hardly worth it.

Yet when the news travelled back to the military camp.

It shocked him beyond measure.

For this ending turned out even more tragic than the one in the original book.

Du Busi and Long Aotian could not escape the choice of fate, which he could understand!

But why did even Princess Vina of the empire die?

"What about the others, then?"

"What about the powerhouses of the Dou Ling Empire and the Star Luo Empire?"

Looking at the messenger before him.

Luo Feng stepped forward with a sudden urge and gripped his shoulders.

"The Guardian Douluo of the Dou Ling Empire was carried back heavily injured!"

"All several members of the Body Sect have fallen!"

"Over on the Star Luo Empire's side, two died and one was injured..."

Damn it!

This Du Busi really was senile and muddled.

Seeking his own death was one thing.

Yet he dragged down so many companions with him!

Even though the Sun Moon Empire had also been thrown into civil strife by Luo Feng's stratagem of sowing discord.

The price paid by the Three Great Empires of the Douluo Continent was equally devastating!

This was just like the butterfly effect.

A butterfly flapping its wings in the northern hemisphere could bring about a terrifying storm in the southern hemisphere.

Luo Feng had originally thought he could save many people.

Never did he expect that everything would turn out even worse!

"Husband, are you alright?"

Seeing Luo Feng's emotional agitation, Ma Xiaotao and Nan Qiuqiu hurried forward to support him.

"I'm fine, I just didn't expect... sigh!"

"Has the princess's body been retrieved?"

Helplessness!

What was done was already done.

There was no medicine for regret in this world.

Even with Luo Feng's soul skill, he could only reverse time by five seconds.

"The princess's body has already been carried back, guarded by people from the Imperial Family. My lord, you..."

According to normal logic, this was a scandal for the Imperial Family.

It was also a tragedy for the entire empire.

If Luo Feng went over at a time like this, it might be somewhat inappropriate!

Yet Luo Feng paid no heed to any of that.

He merely spoke a single sentence to those guarding the body.

"I might be able to save the princess, please make things convenient for me!"

Had this been in the past.

Everyone would have thought he was grandstanding and probably gone mad.

Ever since witnessing Luo Feng's series of astonishing feats prior to this, however.

No one dared to doubt his strength anymore.

Furthermore, everyone throughout the empire unanimously agreed.

Had it not been for Luo Feng, their losses would not have been limited to just a single princess.

Even the entire Heaven Dou Empire and the neighboring Dou Ling Empire would have perished.

Soon, voices endorsing him even appeared within the imperial court.

"Lord Luo's martial soul is the Jade Dragon King, the master of ancient time and space!"

"Perhaps he truly possesses this ability?"

"This major defeat was entirely due to Body Sect Master Du Busi's self-opinionated stubbornness!"

"If Lord Luo can save the princess, I say he should be taken in as the consort!"

"Yes, yes, yes! The Body Sect is already finished, the empire's future relies on the Earth Dragon Sect!"

Finally, after a period of waiting.

Luo Feng was permitted to enter the imperial tent and view the princess's remains...

"Everyone, what you are about to see next might be too shocking to the world, I hope it will not be spread!"

In truth, Luo Feng himself had no certainty in his heart.

Because he had previously obtained a soul skill capable of reviving the dead.

Yet he had never had the opportunity to use it.

Even Luo Feng himself did not know if it would succeed.

It just so happened that he bumped into such a node.

And the princess was indispensable to the entire empire, and even to the Earth Dragon Sect.

That was why he dared to try it!

"What?"

"Lord Luo, you truly can..."

Upon hearing these words from Luo Feng, the prince responsible for burying the princess instantly trembled all over.

Princess Vina was not only a princess, but also the finest successor the Imperial Family had produced in all these years.

Her death might lead the entire Heaven Dou Empire toward a different outcome.

An outcome that everyone present was unwilling to see!

Therefore, even with the tiniest shred of hope, everyone wanted to try whether they could bring the princess back!

"Retire three zhang, no one is allowed to approach."

Luo Feng shouted coldly, and seven soul rings erupted with a roar beneath his feet!

Black, black, black, black, red, red, red!

The seventh blood-red divine ring suddenly flared brilliantly, and dragon might instantly flooded the entire military tent!

"Seventh Soul Skill, First Form-[Jade Dragon King True Form]!"

A dragon's roar startled the firmament, and Luo Feng's body transformed into a towering emerald divine dragon coiling through the void.

The laws of high-dimensional space-time descended, and all candlelight and dust within the tent came to a complete standstill.

Under the amplification of the true form, Luo Feng unleashed the strongest heaven-defying forbidden technique he had never used before!

"Seventh Soul Skill, Second Form!"

"[Heroic Spirit's Return to the Ruins]!!"

"Hum!"

Above the coffin, an ancient emerald space-time portal forcefully tore open the void!

"Though the broken mortal shell remains, may the true soul return!"

Luo Feng raised his hand, and boundless vitality and space-time laws poured into the coffin like a waterfall!

Vina's shattered heart meridians and pathways rapidly healed and regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That wisp of a remnant soul, on the verge of dispersing, was forcibly yanked back from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds and driven straight into the center of her brows!

"Thump!"

Within the dead silence of the jade coffin, a faint heartbeat suddenly sounded.

Immediately following that, the heartbeat grew more and more violent, like a battle drum!

A flush of color rapidly emerged upon Vina's pale, pretty face.

"Hah..."

Amidst the dazed gazes of the prince and the consecrated expert, the young girl's eyelashes fluttered and she drew in a sharp breath.

She slowly opened her dazed, beautiful eyes.

Bringing the dead back to life, reversing the deceased!

Luo Feng dismissed his true form, looked down at the bewildered, beautiful princess sitting up inside the coffin, and smiled indifferently:

"Your Highness Vina, welcome back to the mortal world."

At this moment, this princess who had just recovered her consciousness seemed yet to react.

It was not until she was firmly embraced by several sisters by her side that she burst into tears.

"I, I'm actually still alive!"

"I remember now, Ao Tian used his body to block that final explosion for me!"

"And Teacher, he chose to perish together with Long Xiao-did that traitor die?"

It seemed this princess was quite dedicated; at a time like this, she was still thinking of Long Xiaoyao.

However, when the princess saw the people around her lowering their heads helplessly and sighing.

She found the answer within her heart as well.

"Your Highness the Princess, the reason you were able to be resurrected is thanks to General Luo. Just now..."

Finally, that prince of the Heaven Dou Empire could not help stepping forward to inform her of everything.

On the surface, it appeared to be comforting the princess and commending Luo Feng.

In reality, he was hoping for much more.

Only, certain words had to be spoken through the princess's mouth!

Sure enough, upon hearing that Luo Feng possessed such an unimaginable resurrection ultimate move.

This princess, whose blood qi had just recovered, performed an action that left people gaping in astonishment.

"Thud!"

Could you imagine it?

A current princess kneeling before a subject.

And even tearfully grabbing hold of his ankles!

"Mr. Luo, I beg you to save Ao Tian and Teacher and the rest of them!"

"Since you were able to resurrect me, you must certainly be able to resurrect them, right?"

Indeed!

This was precisely the answer the prince had wanted to know.

Yet how could there be such easy things in this world.

Hearing this bitter entreaty.

Luo Feng bent down and helped the princess up.

"Your Highness the Princess, you overestimate me!"

"That move of mine requires them to have died only a short while ago, and their bodies must remain completely intact..."

"Big Brother Long Aotian and Senior Du Busi have already been reduced to ashes, not even leaving behind their clothes..."

"Please forgive me for being powerless to help!"
