Star Luo Empire Emperor Xu Jiawei put it on himself and came to the top of the city.
He stood next to White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, the two of them stood side by side, looking at the overwhelming Sun Moon Empire army pressing down from the city.
Xu Jiawei said, "Dai Hao, do you know? I used to be very afraid of you."
When Dai Hao heard this, he was startled at first, and then he couldn't help but laugh, "Of course I know, otherwise, why would I stay at Western Frontier? With my merits, I should have been the commander-in-chief of the armed forces long ago."
Xu Jiawei sighed and did not deny it, "I am jealous of the virtuous and capable. I am not worthy of becoming the king of a country."
Dai Hao shook his head, looked seriously at the emperor he had been loyal to for half his life, and said, "You can't say that. With your great achievements and powerful troops, no one can be completely at ease if you are sitting in your position."
Xu Jiawei turned to look at Dai Hao. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Xu Jiawei also smiled, "Maybe, but there is no point in talking about it now."
"I never expected that I would have the opportunity to fight side by side with you. Do you know how I feel now?"
Dai Hao raised his eyebrows.
"I'm honored." Xu Jiawei said these four words one by one, without any trace of hypocrisy or affectation in his tone.
White Tiger Duke couldn't help laughing.
His face, which was full of fatigue and scars from days of hard fighting, burst out with a truly heartfelt smile, "Me too!"
Star Luo Emperor's eyes shined brightly, and he suddenly released his own Martial Soul and Soul Power, pointed directly at the thousands of troops outside, and said loudly, "Come on! Let these Sun Moon Empire guys come!"
"I want to see whether I, Star Luo City, will fall first, or whether the blood of the Sun Moon Empire's army will be shed first!"
Xu Jiawei's voice spread throughout the city.
When the exhausted soldiers on the city wall heard these words, their eyes rekindled their fighting spirit.
They clenched their weapons and gritted their teeth, preparing for the final battle.
At this moment, a sharp sound broke through the air from Sky Manipulation, and a slender figure fell from the sky and landed steadily on the top of the city of Star Luo City.
Huo Yuhao, is back.
"It's Huo Yuhao!"
"Huo Yuhao is back!"
The city top immediately erupted into loud cheers.
The soldiers raised their weapons high and kept shouting the name Huo Yuhao. The originally sluggish morale was instantly ignited to the extreme.
On the wall of this isolated city riddled with holes, this twenty-year-old young man has become the last spiritual pillar in the hearts of the soldiers.
As long as Huo Yuhao is still there, there is still hope for Star Luo City.
This belief supports everyone to stand at their own position and never retreat.
As for the Sun Moon Empire, many people's faces instantly turned ugly.
Especially the group of Level 9 Soul Engineer, after seeing the face of the young man at the top of the city clearly, their expressions turned livid.
Huo Yuhao left a deep shadow on them on the battlefield.
That was the Monster who was unparalleled in head-to-head combat. Any Level 9 Soul Engineer present alone would be the same as dying.
Huo Yuhao, who was previously at the level of Titled Douluo, was able to block the progress of the entire Sun Moon Empire army with just one person.
Now that he is Limit Douluo, it does not seem to be a difficult task for him to subvert the entire Sun Moon Empire on his own.
After seeing Huo Yuhao, Ju Zi, who is Marshal, still looked calm.
"We don't need to take care of this Huo Yuhao." She said calmly, "Of course someone will take care of Huo Yuhao."
Kong Deming, who was standing beside her, looked sideways slightly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "You mean----"
"That's right." Ju Zi nodded slightly, "Spirit Pagoda's people are going to take action against Huo Yuhao."
Ju Zi's tone became more serious. "This war to unify Douluo Continent was promoted by that adult."
"Do you think it's just us Sun Moon Empire who are at war?"
"Wrong, this war is on that lord's chessboard from beginning to end."
"In addition, Spirit Pagoda's people have repeatedly warned Huo Yuhao, telling him not to interfere in this secular war again."
"With his current level of cultivation Limit Douluo, continuing to participate in wars between mortals is breaking the rules."
"Spirit Pagoda gave Huo Yuhao several opportunities, but each time they were just warnings without actually taking action."
"On the one hand, it is because of his old relationship with Spirit Pagoda. Huo Yuhao has indeed made great contributions to Spirit Pagoda, allowing Spirit Pagoda to officially reach cooperation with Soul Beast of Star Dou Great Forest. Not only that, it also accelerated the progress of Artificial Soul Spirit----"
"On the other hand, it's also because that adult does have a special regard for him, but Huo Yuhao has repeatedly exceeded the bottom line. This time, he really annoyed Spirit Pagoda."
"Stopping this war will only lead to more casualties."
"Huo Yuhao still doesn't understand this truth, or he clearly understands it, but chooses to turn a blind eye because of his obsession." Ju Zi said this with a bit of coldness in his tone.
"So this time, the Spirit Pagoda people will not give him another chance. Someone will block him from the battlefield so that he can no longer intervene in this war."
Kong Deming After listening, his brows still did not relax.
He was silent for a moment and whispered, "But----Huo Yuhao is too strong."
"Now he can defeat even Beast God Di Tian head-on."
"Spirit Pagoda, can you send someone who can suppress him?"
"Although there are many strong people in Spirit Pagoda's Offering Hall nowadays - plus Du Busi who is Offering Hall's Chief Offering, but Du Busi is just Level 98 Super Douluo. As for the others -"
Kong Deming said this with a hint of awe in his tone that he didn't realize he had, "It would be great if that adult could come out and take care of it himself."
When "that adult" was mentioned, Ju Zi's eyes changed slightly unnoticeably.
Ju Zi turned his head slightly and avoided Kong Deming's gaze. His voice was a little softer than before. "It is said that he is still in seclusion and is sprinting Ascension to the Divine Realm with all his strength. No one knows when he will come out."
The end of her words dropped slightly, with a hint of loss that she didn't even notice.
Five years.
That person has disappeared for five years.
In the past five years, she led Sun Moon Empire's army to sweep across two empires, expanding Sun Moon Empire's territory to an unprecedented extent.
Countless times, she stared at the military map alone in the handsome tent late at night, but in her heart she was thinking about this person——
"But----Elder Kong, you don't need to worry too much, you probably don't know yet, right?" Ju Zi said confidently.
"Now Spirit Pagoda's Offering Hall Chief Offering has been replaced. He is no longer senior Du Busi. Senior Du Busi has retreated to the second line and is no longer willing to come out----"
"Oh? Then who is Chief Offering of Spirit Pagoda now?" Kong Deming was a little curious.
A flash of Envy flashed in Ju Zi's eyes, but he still said, "It's Ye Guyi!"
At this moment, the situation between heaven and earth suddenly changed.
A ray of sacred light fell straight down from the sky without any warning.
The beam of light is as pure white as snow, surrounded by countless tiny golden lights.
The light fell on the open space between the Star Luo City and Sun Moon Empire armies, stirring up ripples of holy light on the ground.
In that holy light, a human figure appeared.
Pure white wings of holy light stretch behind the back. Each wing is condensed from pure Light Element, exuding a scorching holy light that makes people dare not look directly.
She was wearing a pure white holy robe, holding an unsheathed Holy Sword, with holy flames flowing on Sword blade.
This person's face was extremely beautiful, as beautiful as the Angel Statue enshrined in the church came to life, but there was no compassion and tenderness that an angel should have in his beautiful eyes, only a cold and fiery fighting spirit.
Ye Guyi!
Spirit Pagoda Offering Hall Chief Offering, Limit Douluo with a cultivation level as high as Tsukumo!
Today's Ye Guyi has been hailed as the symbol of Spirit Pagoda's strongest combat power.
Five years have passed, and no one could have imagined that Ye Guyi would grow so rapidly!
Ye Guyi was like an angel descending to earth, slowly falling from the sky between the Star Luo City and Sun Moon Empire armies. The holy light formed a bright curtain of light around her, shrouding the entire battlefield in a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
At the same time, nine Soul Ring on Ye Guyi light up.
Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, pure gold!
Nine Soul Ring appeared one after another. The first eight were frighteningly red in color for a hundred thousand years, and the last one turned out to be completely pure gold Soul Ring.
This means that this Soul Ring is at least a special Soul Ring that is over 200,000 years old.
The reason why Ye Guyi's Soul Ring can become so unbelievable is because first of all, it was the second Martial Soul Awakening's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, plus the ones she absorbed later, all of which were the most powerful Special Grade Cursed Spirit pinched by Lu Ren's hands.
And it's Special Grade Cursed Spirit from Holy Attribute, specially customized for Ye Guyi.
With today's upper limit of Cursed Spirit Manipulation being able to squeeze Cursed Spirit by hand, this can still be achieved, and the Soul Ring color formed after Cursed Spirit is absorbed as Soul Spirit has also been integrated into the Soul Ring system of the Douluo Continent.
Then, Lu Ren can already achieve this level----
This means that Lu Ren may have already obtained Cursed Technique from Chaos and Harmony, and has begun to silently affect the entire Douluo Continent.
Ye Guyi pulled out Holy Sword and pointed the tip of the sword obliquely at the Huo Yuhao on Star Luo City's head. "Huo Yuhao, I read in your childhood You have been miserable for many years, you have a blood feud, and I see that you cannot bear to see your country perish, but you still have loyalty in your heart. Therefore, in helping Star Luo Empire, Spirit Pagoda tolerates you again and again, and retreats again and again."
"But you should never, absolutely should not, repeatedly block this unification war."
Having said this, Ye Guyi's tone suddenly rose by half a minute, and the holy flame on Holy Sword surged and whirred.
"If you leave now, Spirit Pagoda can still look the other way, turn a blind eye, and bear no responsibility for the past."
"With your current level of cultivation Limit Douluo, if you personally participate in this war between secular countries, you have already broken the unwritten rules that have existed for thousands of years."
"As a powerful being outside the world, you have repeatedly personally killed Sun Moon Empire's senior generals and forcibly blocked the advancement of the Sun Moon Empire's army. This has already crossed the line.
97
"Stop it." Ye Guyi's eyes darkened, "If you do this, it will only increase the casualties of a large number of people, and it will not be beneficial to anyone."
"You can't change the outcome of this war, you are just delaying time, and every day you delay, hundreds of soldiers and civilians will lose their lives in this war."
"You think you are protecting the country, but in fact you are just letting more people be buried with you for your obsession!"
Huo Yuhao stood at the top of the city, looking down at the figure in the holy light.
There is no expression on his face, but people who are familiar with him know that the expressionless Huo Yuhao is the most dangerous Huo Yuhao.
"Ye Gongfeng." Huo Yuhao spoke slowly, "I didn't expect Spirit Pagoda to actually send you to deal with me. I thought it would be the old sect leader Du and Offering Zhang who came here together."
The weight of the name Ye Guyi represents in Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao knows better than anyone present.
According to rumors, Ye Guyi is a friend of Lu Ren.
And she is not an ordinary friend, she is one of the few close companions of Lu Ren on this continent, and some even say she is his right-hand man.
In Spirit Pagoda's power structure, although Ye Guyi's status is only nominally a member of the Offering Hall, in fact, the actual power she holds and the resources she can mobilize are much greater than ordinary offerings.
Not to mention that now five years have passed, Ye Guyi is so powerful that it is unanimously recognized by Spirit Pagoda internally and externally as Spirit Pagoda's most powerful sword.
Over the years, I don't know how many forces that have obstructed the development of Spirit Pagoda overtly or covertly have been swept into the dust of history under Ye Guyi's Holy Sword.
Huo Yuhao once asked Di Tian if any human had ever competed with him before.
Di Tian laughed and said nothing at the time, refusing to reveal a single word.
But Huo Yuhao found out from the side that before he challenged Di Tian, Ye Guyi, who became Limit Douluo, had a separate discussion with Di Tian.
And the result of that discussion is still a secret that no one knows.
Some people say that Ye Guyi lost, others say that Ye Guyi did not lose, and some say that the battle was never over.
But no matter what, the fact that Di Tian can seriously compete with each other proves that the strength of Ye Guyi is by no means as simple as the ordinary Tsukumo level.
"Huo Yuhao, Douluo Continent unification will be beneficial to all people living on this continent."
Ye Guyi said in a stern tone.
"After the war is over, the unified continent will invest all its resources in people's livelihood and cultivation. Isn't this a good thing for everyone?"
"It's just a matter of changing the name of the ruler. Why do you go against the will of heaven again and again for the sake of an old era that is destined to be destroyed?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Guyi and replied calmly, "I am from the Star Luo Empire, so what's wrong with helping Star Luo Empire?"
Ye Guyi's tone became a little colder. "Very good, this is your answer."
"Now that you've made your choice, there's nothing more to say."
She held Holy Sword and Sword hilt tightly with both hands, and the wings of holy light behind her suddenly fully unfolded, and the blazing holy light swept away in all directions like a sea tide.
Ye Guyi raised his head, with a sharp light shining in his beautiful eyes, and his voice echoed across the battlefield, "It's just a pity that with me here today, you can no longer interfere in this war."
"I will stand between you and the battlefield. If you want to kill the enemy in the city, go through me first."
Huo Yuhao's Asura's Eye was completely released, and an invisible pressure rose from his body, colliding with the holy light released by Ye Guyi in the air.
Two completely different momentums clashed with each other on the battlefield, and a series of dull sonic booms erupted in the air. Rubble and dust on the ground were rolled up by invisible forces, like a precursor to the coming storm.
"If you want to deal with me, at least call Lu Ren out."
Huo Yuhao The tone is calm.
"Ye Gongfeng, I respect you as a senior and recognize that you are very strong."
"But you can't suppress me on your own."
As soon as these words came out, the entire battlefield fell into silence.
The Star Luo Empire soldiers standing at the top of the city clenched their fists and their breathing became rapid.
They could hear the absolute confidence in Huo Yuhao's words.
As for the Sun Moon Empire, many generals' expressions also became extremely exciting.
Huo Yuhao These words are equivalent to issuing a silent challenge to the legendary strongest man in front of the entire continent.
Only Lu Ren is qualified to suppress him.
The implication is that Chief Offering Ye Guyi who is Spirit Pagoda is not qualified.
When Ye Guyi heard this, he was slightly startled at first, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he had heard some interesting joke.
She just wanted to laugh loudly and laugh at Huo Yuhao's ignorance.
However, before the laughter had time to come out, it got stuck in her throat.
Because a very familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears, "I heard that you are looking for me?"
At this moment, the world was spinning.
This voice seemed to contain some kind of invisible power, causing hundreds of thousands of people on the entire battlefield to freeze instantly, as if an invisible giant hand pressed down from the sky, pinning everyone firmly in place.
Time and space lost their meaning at this moment. Everyone just blinked. Some people even didn't even have time to finish blinking. A figure appeared out of thin air on the city wall of Star Luo City.
It's Lu Ren!
He just stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the city wall of Star Luo City, his robes gently swaying in the whining wind at the top of the city.
Those blue eyes fell on Huo Yuhao very calmly.
At the moment when they saw Lu Ren actually showing up, everyone's reaction exploded at the same time.
Ju Zi Standing on the high general platform, when she saw the figure with white hair and blue eyes clearly at the top of the city, her eyes, which usually remained calm no matter what situation she faced, suddenly shook violently.
Although she had already guessed that Lu Ren would appear sooner or later, when he actually appeared in front of her, the sudden impact still made her heart skip a beat.
"He----is back."
Kong Deming stood next to Ju Zi. This old man, who is known as the only Level 11 Soul Engineer in history, the moment he saw Lu Ren, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.
A sense of fear welled up from the depths of his soul, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably. There was a completely unconcealable awe in his voice. "After five years----he appeared again."
"Every time he appears, Douluo Continent will be turned upside down by him - what will happen this time?"
Ju Zi did not answer, but his eyes were still firmly locked on the White-Haired Figure at the top of the city.
For some reason, when her eyes fell on Lu Ren, waves of colorful ripples appeared in her usually cold and calm beautiful eyes.
She looked at the man standing with his hands behind his back and a calm expression, and suddenly an idea came to her mind that even shocked her.
If the ideal person in her mind has a specific image, it should be a man like Lu Ren.
Unparalleled in the world, unfathomable, he can turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain. In his hands, the pattern of the entire continent is just a chess game that he can play around with.
Can you find another man like this on this continent?
After seeing Lu Ren appear, Ye Guyi reacted most directly and enthusiastically.
Her cold and solemn face was instantly shattered, and she subconsciously let out an uncontrollable exclamation.
There was even a faint blush on her beautiful face, and the excitement boiling in her chest.
There were still thousands of words she wanted to blurt out, but after all, she was a top expert who had experienced in such a big scene. She just relied on her strong willpower to suppress the urge to rush forward regardless, and tried hard to maintain the majesty and calmness on the surface.
Now is not the time to talk to Lu Ren.
Since Lu Ren chose to show up at this juncture, he must have his considerations and plans.
Ye Guyi Don't ruin his rhythm just because you are excited.
So Ye Guyi chose to suppress it and endured it.
On top of the city, Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei had wonderful expressions when they saw the legendary figure suddenly appearing on the city wall not far from them.
Xu Jiawei subconsciously took half a step back, while Dai Hao tightened their muscles, but they quickly forced themselves to relax.
Because they know very well that in the face of an existence of this level, being alert and vigilant are meaningless. If the other party wants to take action, they may not even be able to block it.
Their attitude towards Lu Ren is one of curiosity and awe.
They had heard the legend about this man from beginning to end.
In that most powerful battle, he single-handedly killed three Limit Douluo Level strong men and uprooted the entire Shrek Academy.
Even when Divine Realm in the sky sent two God Official to capture him, Lu Ren was able to forcibly kill Deity with Titled Douluo's cultivation.
Any of these achievements are legendary enough to shock the past and present.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Soul Master is the strongest in history.
However, Huo Yuhao, standing opposite Lu Ren, is also the strongest new generation Soul Master in this era.
His cultivation level is Level 99 Limit Douluo. Three Soul Cores formed a perfect energy circulation system and defeated Beast God Di Tian. His strength is unfathomable.
Now, in the past five years, Soul Master has been called the strongest in modern times by people in mainland China.
The strongest in history versus the strongest in modern times.
Two strong men who stood at the pinnacle of their respective eras were looking at each other from a distance at this moment.
The entire battlefield was silent, hundreds of thousands of eyes focused on the small area at the top of the city, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.
There was a breathless sense of oppression in the air, like the suffocating calm before a storm.
"Lu Ren."
Huo Yuhao directly met Lu Ren's gaze without flinching at all.
"This feeling is really magical."
"Before, I could only look up to you. At that time, you were like an unreachable mountain in my eyes, but now——"
"Now, I can be on an equal footing with you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Everyone is looking at Lu Ren nervously, waiting for the reaction of the strongest Soul Master in history.
Will he be angry?
Will he be disdainful?
Or will he directly teach this ignorant boy a lesson?
However, Lu Ren's reaction surprised everyone.
Lu Ren almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and looked Huo Yuhao up and down with the light of a child talking to adults. "Where is Ping?"
The tone was light and airy, just like an adult listening to a three-year-old child swearing "I'm as tall as daddy."
Then he squatted down and compared his head with the child's, and found that he was still missing by more than half a head.
Huo Yuhao's face darkened a bit on the spot.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger of being slighted in his heart, and his voice became even colder. "Do you have to do something so cruel, do you have to destroy Star Luo Empire?"
Lu Ren still maintained the posture of standing with hands behind his hands. "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me."
"If the country dies, what does it have to do with me?"
"You are eliminated by the times."
"Even without me, Star Luo Empire can't change the fate of being crushed by Soul Tool's iron hoof."
"You are an entire era behind the Sun Moon Empire. Compared with the Sun Moon Empire, your military equipment is as huge as a stick versus a cannon."
"Even if I don't advance this war, what about ten years from now? What about twenty years from now? The old empire left behind by the times is like a rotten tree. Sooner or later it will decay and collapse in the wind and rain."
Lu Ren glanced at Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei: "To put it bluntly, if Huo Yuhao wasn't here to support you, you Star Luo Empire would be finished now."
"You think you are protecting this country?"
"That's wrong. The one who has kept Star Luo City undefeated in the past few years has never been your army, but Huo Yuhao alone."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei instantly turned pale.
They wanted to refute, but found that their throats seemed to be blocked by something and they couldn't say a word.
Because what Lu Ren said is true.
They were wrong, very wrong. It was because of their contempt for Soul Tool that they finally ended up like this.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his chest.
Now, his eyes have become more serious and focused than ever. "Lu Ren, do you dare to take a bet with me?"
Lu Ren's expression did not change. "Let's talk and listen."
"I want to challenge you." Huo Yuhao looked at Lu Ren and yelled, "From the moment you ruthlessly killed my brothers and sisters, I have been thinking about coming to you to settle this debt every day."
"I'm not a magnanimous person. I have always remembered those blood debts, each one clearly."
"Today, all old scores and scores will be settled!"
"If I win, you must order Sun Moon Empire's people to retreat and return all Star Luo Empire's land."
"If you win, I will never stop you from now on."
"I will no longer interfere in this war. Star Luo Empire's survival will be decided by you."
Lu Ren chuckled after hearing these words.
"Actually, I have long thought of such a day."
"When I killed Shrek Seven Devils that day, I originally wanted to kill you too."
"It's just that it was too laborious to kill you at that time. The Fortune in you was too strong. If I really had to kill you by force at that time, I'm afraid it would trigger some chain reactions that I was too lazy to deal with, so I didn't do it."
"As expected, a few years have passed and you, now stronger, came to me in person to seek revenge.
"That's good. What's supposed to come will always come. You can't avoid it even if it comes early or late."
"Save me the trouble."
"Do you regret it?" Huo Yuhao suddenly said, "Do you regret arranging Xiao Bai to become my Soul Spirit? Do you regret sharing the core technology of Soul Spirit with me?"
"Regret that I grew up to this point in Spirit Pagoda?"
Lu Ren looked at him, the smile on his face not diminishing at all, "There is nothing to regret, even if I don't arrange it, Xiao Bai will eventually become your Soul Spirit."
"This is the fate between you. I just pushed in the middle and accelerated the process a little bit."
"Even if I don't arrange for you to grow, you will eventually become so strong. I can't decide that."
Huo Yuhao was startled when he heard this. "What do you mean?"
Lu Ren shook his head. "Nothing, let's do it. I agree to this bet."
He said, raising his chin slightly. "But let's make a promise first, I will be merciful."
"After all, your life is of some use, so I will at least spare you one life."
"Cherish it."
Huo Yuhao looked directly at Lu Ren: "Lu Ren, stop being so arrogant. It's time for young people to take over your rule.
"You have been sitting in this position for long enough. It's time for someone to reshuffle the structure of the mainland."
"Now is my time!"
Huo Yuhao's voice was sonorous and powerful, resounding through the sky.
With a kind of vigor and edge that belongs to young people, it seems that he wants to split the mountain in front of him that has suppressed his entire youth with a sword.
However, Lu Ren just looked at him quietly and said calmly, "Huo Yuhao, I will knock you back to reality."
