Three days passed quickly!
All of the Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire had gathered in front of Crystal Mountain in the Tianhu Domain ahead of schedule.
"Grand Teacher, can our main army really hold out until we return to reinforce them?" The Star Luo Empire's Emperor, Dai Tianling, asked worriedly.
According to the Star Luo Empire's plan, they had lured all the Title Douluos from the Sun-Moon Federation's army to Crystal Mountain, where the Grand Priest of the Green Skeleton Organization, Xin Yuekui, would summon "Heaven" to strike.
With lightning speed, they aimed to kill as many of the Sun-Moon Federation's Title Douluos as possible.
Then, once their own Title Douluos returned to support the main Star Luo army—armed with advanced Tang Sect weaponry—they would gain the upper hand and severely cripple the Sun-Moon Federation's forces.
This would ensure that the Sun-Moon Federation would not have the strength to launch another major invasion for at least a hundred years.
To avoid arousing the enemy's suspicion, even the emperor himself participated in this operation.
After all, he was a formidable Title Douluo in his own right.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. Our troops are fully equipped with Tang Sect weapons. Even if we can't completely match the Sun-Moon Federation army, we can hold out until 'Heaven' eliminates their Title Douluos and we return to reinforce them," the Divine Domain Douluo, Enci, reassured confidently.
The Tang Sect had provided them with top-tier weapons. As long as peak pseudo-god-level powerhouses like Chen Xinjie didn't appear, the Star Luo army could hold their ground.
"In that case, I am relieved." Dai Tianling nodded before turning his gaze toward the Tianhu Domain forces. "So that is the Grand Chief of the Tianhu Domain, the Spirit Fox Douluo Xin Yuehu, and her elder sister, the Heavenly Fox Douluo Xin Yuekui? They are indeed as remarkable as the rumors suggest."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Enci confirmed.
"I've heard that despite their young age, both sisters have already reached Rank 97. In the future, they could become major threats to the Star Luo Empire. 'Heaven' can only act once in the short term, so everything must proceed as planned. If they refuse to submit, eliminate them both." Dai Tianling's eyes were cold as he made his final arrangements with the other powerhouses.
Not only did he plan to repel the Sun-Moon Federation, but he also intended to eliminate the long-standing threats of the Tianhu Domain and the Green Skeleton Organization once and for all.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. Everything is in place," Enci bowed.
"Grand Teacher, you are always reliable. To be honest, it would be a pity to kill such exceptional women outright. I hope they know when to surrender." Dai Tianling once again examined the Xin Yue sisters. If it weren't for his grand vision for the Star Luo Empire, he would have been reluctant to dispose of them.
The sisters' unique abilities could elevate the Star Luo Empire's strength to new heights.
At that moment, terrifying auras suddenly filled the air.
Chen Xinjie descended from the sky, leading the Title Douluos of the Sun-Moon Federation's five great legions. "Emperor of Star Luo, we are here. Tell us, how do you wish to determine the outcome of this battle among Title Douluos?"
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Enci immediately stepped in front of Dai Tianling, shielding him.
Although the Star Luo Empire had more Title Douluos present, the Sun-Moon Federation held the advantage in three-word and four-word battle armor, as well as red mechas.
But most threatening of all was Chen Xinjie, a peak pseudo-god.
Even if Enci and Kirin Douluo Tongyu joined forces, they would not be his match.
Dai Tianling instinctively took a step back. Against a powerhouse like Chen Xinjie, even a Title Douluo like himself was nearly as vulnerable as an ordinary person.
He was still dreaming of becoming a ruler for the ages—he couldn't afford to die now.
Once assured of Dai Tianling's safety, Enci turned to Chen Xinjie and said, "Vast Sea Douluo, do you see Crystal Mountain ahead? This is the sacred mountain of the Tianhu Domain. Even a Rank-9 fixed soul-guided shell can barely damage it. Though the exterior is incredibly strong, the inside is hollow. To avoid collateral damage, why don't we fight inside the mountain?"
"As you wish!" Chen Xinjie replied indifferently, showing no fear of potential traps.
Enci was momentarily surprised.
As the commander of the Sun-Moon Federation's five great legions, Chen Xinjie was bold—perhaps overconfident? Or simply arrogant?
"Then please, after you," Enci said, no longer trying to persuade him otherwise.
With Chen Xinjie's strength, perhaps he had a reason to be confident.
But once he stepped into Crystal Mountain, it would be too late for regrets.
"As you wish!" Chen Xinjie laughed and led his Title Douluos into Crystal Mountain.
"Grand Priest, the fate of Star Luo Empire and the Tianhu Domain rests on you now," Enci said solemnly to Xin Yuekui.
This battle would decide the Star Luo Empire's destiny, and he couldn't afford to be careless.
"No need to remind me. I will summon 'Heaven,' but I need three minutes. Just ensure that no one from the Sun-Moon Federation interferes with me during that time," Xin Yuekui snorted before leading the Green Skeleton Title Douluos into the mountain.
"Tongyu, your priority is to protect His Majesty. If things go wrong, the enemy may act desperately," Enci warned.
"Master, don't worry. As long as I live, His Majesty will be safe," Tongyu assured.
"You all, follow behind." Enci took the lead into the mountain.
The moment Enci stepped inside, he saw Xin Yuekui already seated before the altar, initiating the summoning ritual.
Meanwhile, Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi stood nearby, watching him with amused expressions.
"Something's wrong! The Tianhu Domain has allied with the Sun-Moon Federation! Retreat immediately!" Enci, a seasoned peak Douluo, instantly sensed danger and turned to flee.
But this was Crystal Mountain.
Not only were the Tianhu warriors present, but the Sun-Moon Federation's elite forces had also sealed off their escape routes.
From the moment they stepped into the mountain, their fates were sealed.
"Trying to escape? Too late!" Xin Yuekui sneered. "You have occupied the Eight Kings' Domain for ten thousand years. It's time to return it to its rightful owners."
As she spoke, a terrifying aura surged from the altar, plunging the entire mountain into utter darkness.
"Wasn't summoning 'Heaven' supposed to take three minutes?!" Enci's expression changed. He had been deceived. Instinctively, he tried to release his martial soul, but in this absolute darkness, his Radiant Holy Dragon was completely suppressed.
The realization shocked him.
Light and darkness naturally countered each other, yet his supreme light-attribute martial soul was utterly suppressed!
Before he could react, Kirin Douluo Tongyu activated his martial soul, summoning a massive Five-Element Barrier over their group.
But the moment he did, a colossal black dragon claw descended from above.
With a single swipe, Tongyu's barrier shattered like a fragile bubble.
"No! I haven't united the continent yet! I refuse to accept this!" Dai Tianling roared in despair. But against the godly Dark Dragon King, all struggles were meaningless.
The dragon claw swept through, obliterating all within its grasp—whether Super Douluo or even Limit Douluo—leaving only a mist of blood in its wake.
The darkness vanished as quickly as it came, retreating into the altar.
All that remained of the once-mighty Star Luo warriors was a pool of blood.
Even Chen Xinjie swallowed hard.
"Is this… 'Heaven'?! What kind of dark god does the Tianhu Domain worship?!" Yu Guanzhi trembled.
Just then, Chen Xinjie's communicator rang.
"Commander! The Star Luo army's firepower is overwhelming! We are suffering heavy casualties—requesting reinforcements!"
"What? The Star Luo Empire's firepower is too strong?" Chen Xinjie was stunned. The Sun-Moon Federation had always relied on its superior technology to suppress the Star Luo Empire.
He had assumed that as long as the Titled Douluo did not intervene, the Sun-Moon Federation's army would be able to crush the Star Luo Empire's forces.But now, the Sun-Moon Federation's army had suffered devastating losses?
"Yes! They have already launched three tenth-level fixed soul-guided missiles. We were caught completely off guard. One of the Eastern Sea Army's motherships has been sunk, and another mothership from the Poseidon Army has been heavily damaged, nearly sinking as well."
"A tenth-level fixed soul-guided missile!" Chen Xinjie's face instantly turned grim. Even for him, deploying such weapons required special approval from the Sun-Moon Federation's military headquarters.
How did the Star Luo Empire get their hands on them?
"Hold your ground! We'll be there immediately."
Chen Xinjie dared not hesitate. He led the Sun-Moon Federation's Titled Douluo back to the battlefield at top speed.
Who knew how many more tenth-level fixed soul-guided missiles the Star Luo Empire still had?
Tenth-level fixed soul-guided missiles!If they had a few more of those, the Sun-Moon Federation's army would be doomed.
Chen Xinjie pushed his speed to the limit, but when he finally arrived at the battlefield, the scene before him left him utterly shocked.
The vast ocean was covered with countless floating corpses.
These were all Sun-Moon Federation soldiers tasked with the amphibious assault.
Yet, not a single one of them had managed to reach the shore.
Every single one had been shot down mid-air and fallen into the sea.
Even powerful Mecha Pilots and Battle Armor Masters were among the dead.
Chen Xinjie lifted his gaze and was stunned to see that the Star Luo Empire's coastal defense line was equipped with an array of battle equipment that was in no way inferior to that of the Sun-Moon Federation's army.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted.
A ninth-level fixed soul-guided missile struck the ammunition depot of one of the Poseidon Army's battleships, triggering a violent blast that engulfed the entire warship along with all the soldiers onboard in a sea of flames.
"Tang Sect!!!"
Chen Xinjie roared, his bloodshot eyes locking onto the fighter jets soaring through the sky.
The fighter jet that had just launched the soul-guided missile was identical to the ones used by the Tang Sect that had sunk in the North Sea before.
It was one of the Tang Sect's most advanced fighter jets, equipped with cutting-edge instruments that were on par with the Sun-Moon Federation's most sophisticated aircraft.
Because of this advanced targeting system, they were able to precisely locate and strike the battleship's ammunition depot.
