It's Been So Long-They Haven't Been Drained Dry, Have They?!

Meanwhile, within the Star Luo Empire, thought manifestation emerged around En Ci.

His cultivation, which had not advanced in years, actually showed signs-signs of moving beyond Quasi-God!

En Ci seemed to have recovered the fearless spirit of his youth, and his fighting spirit reached its peak.

"Come, Luo Chen! Let this old man see your greatest strength!"

Outside the Sky Screen, at Shrek Academy during the Peerless Tang Sect era.

Xuan Zi watched with aching envy. How had a few casual insults from Luo Chen nearly pushed En Ci into a breakthrough?

If Luo Chen came and insulted him, might he break through to Limit Douluo too?

Luo Chen had no idea that he was practically becoming a fulfiller of dreams.

Meanwhile, during the Spirit Hall era, Tang Hao sneered from his hiding place.

"Just thinking about the past can trigger a breakthrough? Then why haven't I broken through when I think about Ah Yin every day?"

At that moment, within the Sky Screen, Luo Chen's expression gradually grew serious.

One of the blood-red Soul Rings belonging to his Ice Ancestral Talisman martial soul lit up.

"Ice Phoenix Demon-Subduing Lock!"

The ice essence drifting between heaven and earth gathered madly. Ten ice phoenixes, each a hundred thousand feet long, condensed out of the void and clashed with En Ci's enormous white dragons.

Their wings blanketed a thousand miles, their beaks held profound ice-sealing runes, and their piercing cries froze the white dragons flowing around them.

Meanwhile, En Ci's strength broke through once more, and the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain's suppression of the Thousand Dragons Dancing domain gradually weakened.

"God Says, the white dragons before me shall vanish at once!"

"God Says, the domain before me shall disperse at once!"

As the battle reached a fever pitch, Luo Chen unhesitatingly chose to use his spiritual domain!

When Luo Chen's words fell, En Ci's white dragons and Battle Armor domain actually began dissipating, bit by bit!

"This... this is simply unbelievable! Someone's spiritual domain can actually be this powerful." Beside Dai Tianling, Hu Jie had long since been full of praise for Luo Chen.

And with every word of praise Dai Tianling heard for Luo Chen, the desolation in his heart deepened.

Meanwhile, En Ci prepared to unleash his strongest strike.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Sacred Dragon Avatar!"

"Eighth Soul Skill: Radiant Sacred Dragon Slash!"

Amplified by his Martial Soul Avatar and Battle Armor, a dragon's roar shook the Sports Arena.

En Ci swept his arm sideways, and a thousand-foot White Dragon Blade crashed down, carrying the last trace of his domain's power.

The light blade tore fine black spatial fissures through the air along its path. A white halo clung to the blade, layering light attributes upon it.

"God Says, this sword of mine shall cleave the stars from the heavens!"

"Emperor Sword, Ultimate Ice, Peerless!"

The Snow Empress's figure appeared behind him again. Their fingers intertwined, and an enormous deep-blue sword appeared before Luo Chen.

Luo Chen and the Snow Empress gripped the hilt together and swept it downward.

A deep-blue gleam split the sky. Wherever it passed, even the stars above were obscured by its dark radiance.

Most terrifying of all, those obscured stars truly vanished, as though they had been cleaved from the heavens.

The instant the enormous deep-blue sword collided with the white dragon blade.

Even the sky was torn in two by that strike!

The Soul Tools in the Soul Fighting Arena suddenly exploded, and the entire fighting platform broke in half, unable to withstand the attack.

After a brief deadlock, the deep-blue gleam completely devoured the white light, and the enormous deep-blue sword finally descended upon En Ci's head.

Had Luo Chen not withdrawn his power in time at the last moment, En Ci would likely have met his end there.

In a private box within the Stadium, Ye Xinglan stared at the enormous deep-blue sword with blazing eyes.

This was the swordsmanship she had always pursued!

One sword strike to open heaven's gates!

It could even cleave the stars from the heavens!

In the Soul Fighting Arena,

En Ci slowly said, "Thank you."

His thanks carried many meanings: gratitude for Luo Chen sparing him, and gratitude for Luo Chen's guidance.

"Consider what just happened compensation. I hope you won't forget our agreement," Luo Chen said.

"Of course. This old man never breaks his word." En Ci nodded. He was eager to enter seclusion now; that glimmer of insight from earlier was extremely important to him.

As En Ci left, the spectators suddenly realized something.

Luo Chen seemed to have won all five rounds of the Five Gods' Duel!

Such a feat was unprecedented in the Star Luo Empire!

And with Luo Chen's victory in the Five Gods' Duel, countless Star Luo Empire netizens immediately dug up the video of him challenging the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

"Enough nonsense, En Ci. Begin the Five Gods' Duel! What I'm challenging is your Star Luo Empire!"

"What? Is the Star Luo Empire refusing?"

"Fine, we accept this Five Gods' Duel! If you lose, you must join our Star Luo Empire, become its Prince Consort, and remain loyal to the Star Luo Empire for life."

"No problem. If I win, I demand that the Star Luo Imperial Family be dissolved and the Star Luo Empire Federation established! And I'll choose the Federal Speaker."

The topic of losing all five rounds of the Five Gods' Duel instantly shot up the trending charts.

"No way. Is the Star Luo Imperial Family really going to be dissolved?"

"Establish the Star Luo Empire Federation? Like the neighboring Sun Moon Federation?"

"Does anyone know what the Sun Moon Federation is like?"

"I've been to the Sun Moon Federation. Their system seems pretty good..."

For a while, the internet buzzed with discussion.

Outside the Sky Screen, during the Spirit Hall era.

The suspended heart of the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire finally died.

"My Star Luo Empire... has its curtain finally fallen?"

During the Peerless Tang Sect era, another Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, was quite excited.

"Is Jiujiu finally going to become the Federal Speaker?"

Within the Sky Screen, inside Star Luo's National Stadium.

Luo Chen flashed onto the dais, his gaze fixed on Dai Tianling.

"Dai Tianling, do you remember what I said? Effective immediately, dissolve the Star Luo Imperial Family. Tomorrow, I don't want to see the Star Luo Imperial Family appear!"

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.

Among those present, aside from the utterly despondent Dai Tianling, the other ministers did not look nearly so dejected.

Unlike ordinary people, these ministers understood the Sun Moon Federation's federal system very well.

For them, establishing the Star Luo Empire Federation might very well elevate their standing further.

After all, while the Star Luo Imperial Family remained, aside from matters involving En Ci, Dai Tianling had the final say on everything at court.

Once the Star Luo Empire Federation was established, their influence might even rise another step!

That was reality. What ministers like them considered was always their families' interests and their own.

Only then did Dai Tianling realize that there seemed to be no one standing behind him...

With the Five Gods' Duel over, Luo Chen could prepare to return to the Douluo Federation once the Star Luo Empire Federation was established the next day.

Back at the hotel to rest, Luo Chen realized he seemed to have forgotten something, but no matter how he tried, he could not remember what.

Just as he was about to sleep, he suddenly sprang up.

"Holy crap! I almost forgot-there are still two beauties locked inside the Devouring Realm!"

"It's been so long-they haven't been drained dry, have they?!"
