Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 323: The Sun-Moon Empire Becomes Unbeatable

After a moment of tenderness, Xue Linglong noticed the ice-blue sword embedded at her feet.

The Sword of the Ice God: ...

It felt quite aggrieved. After all, it was not only a divine artifact but also one carrying the legacy of a divine seat, and yet it had been ignored for so long.

"What's this?" Xue Linglong asked belatedly.

Du Qianjue smiled mysteriously and nodded toward the sword. "Why don't you pull it out and see? There's a surprise waiting for you."

"Surprise…" Xue Linglong murmured, a hint of anticipation in her voice.

"Go on, give it a try," Du Qianjue encouraged, gently pushing her shoulder.

After all, it was the inheritance of the Ice God as stated by the God of Destruction himself. Even though he had said that Xue Linglong already met the requirements to inherit the Ice God's divine seat, Du Qianjue still wanted her to try it herself.

Receiving the divine seat through the divine trials would definitely enhance Xue Linglong's strength. This was an excellent accumulation process for her, having just broken through a million years. Once she truly accepted the Ice God's inheritance, Xue Linglong would become the next Ice God.

Xue Linglong nodded happily, placed her pale hand on the hilt of the Ice God's Sword, and gripped it tightly. She initially thought it would require considerable effort to pull it out, but to her surprise, the sword came out with just a light pull.

The initially subdued Ice God's Sword suddenly emitted a brilliant blue light in Xue Linglong's hands, making the chamber as dazzling as the starry sky.

Xue Linglong could clearly feel a sense of familiarity from the Ice God's Sword, an aura that shared the same origin as hers.

At the same time, a towering column of ice-blue light shot up from the chamber, piercing through the walls and soaring into the sky.

A cool, detached voice echoed in her mind.

[You meet the requirements for the divine seat. Initiating the nine trials of the Ice God.]

"Ice God…" Xue Linglong's pupils dilated, and her lips trembled.

For all the spirit beasts of the far north, these were words of supreme reverence. The Ice God was the shared deity of all northerners, and to swear by the Ice God was the most solemn oath in the north.

No one dared to go back on their word after making a vow to the Ice God. It was considered a desecration of the Ice God and would result in being forsaken by the ice.

That's why, in the original story, when Tian Meng Ice Silkworm swore by the Ice God that it would never deceive the Ice Emperor, the Ice Emperor had no doubts whatsoever.

The Ice God's Sword quietly transformed into an ice-white snowflake mark, appearing on Xue Linglong's forehead, adding a touch of inviolable majesty to her already remarkable presence.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Xue Linglong's eyes were dazed, and her body felt weak.

"Ah…"

In her haze, Xue Linglong was suddenly scooped up by Du Qianjue, letting out a startled cry as her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck.

"What are you doing, hey…"

Du Qianjue kissed Xue Linglong's cheek, his face bearing a mischievous smile. "Aren't you wondering if you're dreaming? Your husband will let you know if this is a dream or not."

Amidst Xue Linglong's shocked expression, Du Qianjue once again replayed the chamber of secrets scene…

…

After five years of seclusion, the landscape of the Douluo Continent had completely changed. Not surprisingly, the Sun-Moon Empire had gone on a rampage on the battlefield.

The Soul Master armies were no match for the Soul Conductor armies; it was not just a father beating a son, it was more like a grandfather beating a grandson.

Du Qianjue's earlier predictions were accurate. The absolute gap in technology was not something the high-grade soul conductors that the Main Body Sect sold to the Heavenly Soul and Star Luo Empires could bridge, although they did cause significant trouble for the Sun-Moon Empire.

Especially for Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen.

Both were nearly driven to madness.

Initially, they thought it was internal chaos in the empire that led some desperate individuals to secretly sell various soul conductors to the three empires, as the empire was unstable without royal suppression. This seemed possible.

But Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen soon dismissed this theory because the volumes were simply too large.

Except for the Fighting Soul Empire, which continued to lag, both the Heavenly Soul and Star Luo Empires had formed an army of soul conductors equipped with high-grade machines.

It was as if, though lacking linked soul conductors and detection soul conductors, the armament quality was almost as good as their own Protectors of the Nation.

This was equivalent to having no three-headed and self-rescue machines, but with AWMs and MG3s clearly arranged.

Jing Hongchen's eyes reddened at the thought.

He immediately linked this to the stolen military arsenals under Mingdian Hall and the royal palace; it was as if one army took from one arsenal…

Under fatal pressure, even the Sun-Moon Empire's Protector had to stop their operations against the Fighting Soul Empire and focus on grinding down the Heavenly Soul and Star Luo on the ground.

But until the Sun-Moon Empire's Protectors completely disabled the two empires' soul conductor armies, they were spared from the attacks of ninth-grade fixed soul conductor bombs.

This left Jing Hongchen puzzled.

But considering the style of evil soul masters…

Jing Hongchen realized that the evil soul masters would never sell such items to the two empires. The reason for selling the soul conductors was simple: they needed more deaths. A one-sided slaughter did not suit their interests, and the soul conductor armies indeed caused significant trouble for the Sun-Moon Empire, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides.

Jing Hongchen hadn't expected to end up cleaning up after the Main Body Sect himself, arranging the whereabouts of the ninth-grade fixed soul conductor bombs clearly.

The result of this war was that although the Sun-Moon Empire also suffered heavy losses, they triumphed spectacularly on the battlefield, crushing the armies of the Heavenly Soul and Star Luo Empires.

The Fighting Soul Empire, almost the first to be destroyed in the original story because it lacked a soul conductor army, was ignored by the Sun-Moon Empire instead.

Knowing of Dai Hao's death, Tangerine was the first to wipe out the Star Luo Empire.

Until she destroyed the Star Luo Empire, Tangerine was filled with regret that she hadn't personally killed Dai Hao. In the original, she planned to plunge a blade into his heart when he was most desperate.

But now that Dai Hao had already departed prematurely, Tangerine, with nowhere to vent her fury, simply wiped out the Star Luo Empire's soul conductor army and then obliterated the Star Luo Empire itself.

Xu Jiawei was tragically killed in his own Star Luo Royal Palace, and almost all the titled Douluo in the Star Luo Empire's shrine were wiped out, except for Wang Xian'er, who was retired in the Main Body Sect.

Xu Jiujiu was sent to the Main Body Sect by Xu Jiawei before his death, thus narrowly escaping the same fate.

In just three years, the three empires were completely eradicated. It's not that it took one year per country; rather, it took three years to wipe out Star Luo and Heavenly Soul, but only three days to obliterate the Fighting Soul.

Fighting Soul, you are really weak! (End of chapter)
