Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

The outskirts of Mingdu.

Looking at the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps surrounding her, Ye Xishui's expression turned cold, and her chilling gaze swept over everyone.

She was already irritable, and she became even more impatient.

With her strength, she could sense the familiar aura of the battle between the two Limit Douluos in the distance; it belonged to Mu En and Long Xiaoyao.

These two people, who should never have met, are now locked in a fierce battle in the skies above Mingdu.

This was completely unplanned and directly disrupted Ye Xishui's subsequent arrangements.

According to intelligence from the Sun Moon Empire, Mu En was already seriously injured and near death. He survived only because of the golden ancient tree in the Sea God Pavilion.

Although Moon deliberately displayed his presence and strength recently, it is clear that he is all bark and no bite.

As long as he doesn't get close to Shrek Academy, he won't be able to make a move.

Now, looking at it this way...

Not only is this old fellow alive and well, but he has even traveled thousands of miles to the Sun Moon Empire and fought against Long Xiaoyao for so long without being at a disadvantage. He doesn't look like a candle flickering in the wind at all!
"A bunch of useless people, they can't even get accurate intelligence." Ye Xishui cursed inwardly.

With this, Moon made his move. The Holy Spirit Cult was slightly inferior in terms of high-end combat power, but with Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling as backup, plus the alliance of the Sun Moon Empire, they were not afraid of Shrek Academy at all.

However, contrary to expectations, the game has lasted for so long.

Sensing something was amiss, Ye Xishui intended to go to the palace to check on the situation, but was stopped there by the Soul Master Legion.

"Is this a case of trying to burn bridges after crossing the river?" Ye Xishui's lips curled into a cold smile.

Although I knew that Xu Tianran was a cunning man and would eventually take action against the Holy Spirit Cult, I did not expect that the other party would act so quickly.

Does he really think that the Sun Moon Empire alone can resist the combined forces of the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy?
Or has something happened at the palace?
"Xu Tianyuan, are you sure you want to stop this old woman?" Ye Xishui's voice was not loud, but it carried the pressure of a Limit Douluo, like a heavy hammer hitting Xu Tianyuan.

Looking at the Death God Douluo who could single-handedly form an army, Xu Tianyuan, who was only a level 93 Title Douluo, was sweating profusely.

Is this what Limit Douluo is like?

He thought that with the support of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Group, he already had the resources to contend with Limit Douluo.

Now it seems that's not the case at all!
Only when faced with Ye Xishui's palpable killing intent did Xu Tianyuan realize how naive he had been.

Only one regiment is truly unable to hold on!

What about the others in the Guardian of the Nation?

Help!

Xu Tianyuan gritted his teeth and resisted the oppressive aura, saying with a stiff upper lip, "Elder Ye, I'm afraid I cannot comply."

"Your Majesty's order is law, and I dare not disobey it."

"An order?" Ye Xishui waved her hand, her tone carrying a hint of condescension and impatience.

"Then I'll give Xu Tianran some face and wait a little longer. That's all I have to say. If you try to stop me again after that, don't blame me for going on a killing spree."

"Yes, yes, I'll pass on the message right away." Xu Tianyuan nodded hurriedly, feeling relieved.

The Holy Spirit Cult is an important partner of the Sun Moon Empire, and he is not prepared to die at the hands of his own people.

If all else fails, can't we bring in more people to help?

Ye Xishui looked at Xu Tianyuan's flustered appearance, sneered, and said nothing more.

She had her own plans: the Holy Spirit Cult still needed the Sun Moon Empire as a shield. Although Xu Tianran was ambitious, the Holy Spirit Cult could only expand rapidly with him, the Sun Moon Emperor, around.

This test further confirmed her suspicion of Xu Tianran, so the plan for the Tower of Death should be put on the agenda.

Once the war begins, she can use the Death Tower to harvest enough wronged souls, allowing this near-level 10 soul tool to truly take shape.

At that time, no one in Douluo Continent will be able to stop her.

Even if Moon is at his peak, so what?
Even the might of the Death Ray is no match for it!

As for those elders and retainers who had gone to the palace to participate in Xu Tianran's plan... a cold glint flashed in Ye Xishui's eyes. So what if they're dead?

Anyway, Long Xiaoyao and Zhongli Wu won't die. If we can use this loss to make Xu Tianran lower his guard, it's actually quite worthwhile.

Time keeps passing.

As the number of Soul Masters around Xu Tianyuan gradually increased, but no enemy appeared for a long time, Ye Xishui's heart sank, realizing that something was wrong.

She suddenly had a bad feeling. At her level, such intuition was definitely not unfounded.

What exactly happened at the palace?
Ye Xishui could no longer sit still, and the blood mist around her began to surge.

Xu Tianyuan received a message from Elder Kong, consisting of only a few words: 【Hold Ye Xishui back.】

"Hold them off!?" Xu Tianyuan almost cursed out loud.

Even if my martial soul is the sun, which is relatively effective against evil soul masters, Elder Kong, you can't do this to me.

Fortunately, this time, it seems that the Guardian Hands Soul Master Corps, which originally had other missions, were on their way to provide support in order to deal with Ye Xishui.

With so many people joining forces, they might not be without the power to fight.

Although I don't know why they're targeting Ye Xishui, since Elder Kong has spoken, it must be authorized by His Majesty.

Just fight!

I've been annoyed with these evil spirit masters for a long time.

If he can become the Limit Douluo this time, it will be a sure thing for him to be granted a title and a position for his children. Perhaps after the continent is unified, he can even become a feudal lord.

However, disobeying military orders would inevitably lead to death.

So now there's only one option left.

That is to offer up one's heart for the Sun and Moon Empire!

A fierce glint flashed in Xu Tianyuan's eyes as he led the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps in a charge.

He had laid an ambush here in advance to deal with potential enemies, and now it was coming in handy to deal with Ye Xishui.

"Want to kill me? What a joke!" Ye Xishui laughed, and rings of spirit rings began to rise from beneath her feet.

Six black and three red!

Like a burning blood moon, it exudes a suffocating pressure.

When the members of the Soul Master Corps saw the Soul Rings on her body, they couldn't help but gasp.

With three 100,000-year soul rings, even Xu Tianyuan felt a tightness in his chest and found it difficult to breathe under Ye Xishui's aura.

Before they could react, ripples suddenly appeared around Ye Xishui's blood mist.

The solar power released by Xu Tianyuan disintegrated rapidly like melting ice and snow. He could only barely stabilize himself by activating the level-nine soul tool on his body with all his might.

As Ye Xishui raised her hand, a beam of red light shot into the sky, blooming in the air into a strange, blood-red peony, the blood mist thick as a substance.

"Fire! Cover the area with fire!" Xu Tianyuan roared as he gave the order.

In an instant, countless soul-guided shells rained down on Ye Xishui like a storm, the explosions were deafening, and the flames dyed half the sky red.

The members of the Soul Master Corps were full of confidence. With such a dense barrage of fire, even a Title Douluo would be blown to pieces!
This is the foundation that the Sun Moon Empire is so proud of!

Even though the number of high-level Soul Masters is less than that of any of the three kingdoms of Douluo, they can still support Soul Master Corps by relying on the large base of low-level Soul Masters.

It's important to understand that to truly stand out in the world of Soul Masters, one needs not only 99% hard work but also 1% talent.

In Douluo Three Kingdoms, the lower limit of a Soul Master who is born with deficiencies is terrifyingly low, especially if they awaken a useless Martial Soul, then there is even less need for them to cultivate.

However, in the Sun Moon Empire, hundreds of years ago, with the rapid development of soul tools, this situation where talent determined everything was improved.

As long as one's martial soul awakens with accompanying soul power, even if it's only at the first level of the innate realm, one can receive free training from the empire and even obtain corresponding medicines to enhance soul power.

Even if it's a useless martial soul, a low-level soul master is just a transmitter for a soul tool; as long as there's soul power to drive it, that's enough.

These Soul Masters, who rely on drugs to forcibly improve their abilities and lack natural talent, may only be able to remain at the second or third ring level for their entire lives. However, when their numbers accumulate, they become the most terrifying war machines!

This is the most important foundation for the Sun Moon Empire to be able to fight against the Douluo Three Kingdoms with the strength of a single nation.

The Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire has different levels. In addition to the most powerful Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps under Kong Mingde's command, the four Beast King-level Soul Master Corps directly under the Empire follow closely behind.

These are the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, and the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps. They are known as the Guardians of the Nation.

Aside from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, which has an entry threshold of level 50, the other four Beast King-level Soul Master Corps have a unified entry threshold of level 40.

Each group has 300 members, and the group leaders are all level 9 Soul Masters.

As for other ordinary Soul Master Corps, although it only takes two rings to join, they still have a standard staff of five hundred people.

There is a saying circulating among Soul Masters:

Five level-four Soul Masters can slaughter a cavalry unit, four level-five Soul Masters can defeat a Soul Emperor, three level-seven Soul Masters can conquer a small city, two Soul Master regiments can influence a war, and a monarch can disrupt the Douluo Continent!
The Soul Master Corps is an extension of the Sun Moon Empire's hands, and its sharpest blade!
But at this moment, this invincible blade seemed to have struck the hardest steel plate, unable to advance any further.

The crimson peony swayed gently, and all the soul-guided cannonballs and rays were swallowed by the blood mist the moment they approached Ye Xishui, without even causing a ripple.

The confident smiles on the faces of the soul masters of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps froze instantly, and silence spread rapidly like a plague.

This level of firepower was so intense that even the blood mist surrounding Ye Xishui couldn't be broken through. This despairing disparity made them truly feel the weight of the title "Limit Douluo" for the first time.

They finally realized that some gaps in strength simply cannot be bridged by numbers.

Surrounded by thousands of Soul Masters, Ye Xishui remained unfazed, seemingly in complete control, and let out a cold laugh:
"Is everyone here?"

Outside the encirclement, several other level-nine soul masters quietly gathered, exchanged glances, and all became extremely vigilant.

Despite their overwhelming numerical advantage, they were on high alert at this moment.

Limit Douluo is the pinnacle of human combat power. Now that we see it, it truly means one person can defeat an army of ten thousand!

Facing Ye Xishui directly, Xu Tianyuan subconsciously swallowed, a thought suddenly popping into his mind:
Oh, can we reconcile?

……

The current situation in Mingdu is progressing steadily according to Huo Yuhao's script, and it's going much more smoothly than expected.

Now, the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult finally realized that something was wrong.

What happened with the promised cooperation? Sun Moon Empire, are you just going to stand by and do nothing?

They've even turned the tables and are now blaming others!
This is betrayal!!

The evil spirit masters tried to extricate themselves, but found themselves already trapped in a desperate situation, having long since lost their last chance to struggle.

The Holy Spirit Cult has never been a monolithic entity; it is a loose alliance bound by shared interests. Without core members at the Title Douluo level to maintain its standing, the remaining evil soul masters are completely disorganized and will scatter in all directions.

A large number of low-level evil soul masters began to defect, but with Huo Yuhao's Marauder's Map as their guide, these people had nowhere to hide.

The only thing these remnants could do was retreat and cower in the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters in the Demon Forest.

Without the protection of Limit Douluo Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, the Holy Spirit Cult is no longer able to cause any trouble. That headquarters is nothing more than a grave that Huo Yuhao has carefully chosen for them.

Just as Mu En told Long Xiaoyao, the Spirit Pagoda intends to completely eliminate evil spirit masters in this generation.

Whatever the initial reasons for the evil spirit masters' fall from grace, and whatever their grievances, none of them justify their indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

However, Huo Yuhao also knew this.

Even if the Holy Spirit Cult disappears completely today, as long as people's prejudices remain, another cult will still emerge.

This world is cruel.

During the first era of Dou Yi, the Spirit Hall exerted strong oversight, and the existence of the Slaughter City, a corrupt holy land where one could only enter and not leave, greatly reduced the number of evil spirit masters roaming around.

But Tang San made his move.

He destroyed the Slaughter City, which he considered the root of all evil, and also stopped the evil Spirit Hall organization from unifying the two empires.

Furthermore, the arrival of the Sun and Moon Continent halfway through provided an environment for the evil soul masters to thrive.

Therefore, by the time of the second phase of the war, the contradictions had accumulated and erupted.

Evil spirit masters gradually proliferated, even forming the behemoth that is the Holy Spirit Cult in the Sun and Moon Empire.

It's not that the Spirit Hall is so great.

Rather, Shrek Academy's enforcement efforts during the Douluo Continent II era were far inferior to those of the Spirit Hall, and they were unable to guide Soul Masters with evil spirits onto the righteous path.

Although Shrek Academy upholds justice, it can only suppress evil spirit masters with a clean sweep, nipping their danger in the bud.

Shrek Academy lacks the ability to guide awakened evil spirit masters onto the righteous path like the Spirit Hall did back then. It can only sacrifice those spirit masters who could have been saved for the sake of continental stability.

This world is a competition of who's worse; free awakening reveals the oppressive power of the Spirit Hall, while the recommended enrollment reflects the care of the nobility.

In today's Douluo Continent, no other force would go to such lengths as the Spirit Hall to awaken martial souls for ordinary people.

If a martial soul is not awakened in time, the probability of it mutating into an evil martial soul increases significantly.

This fundamentally contributed to the proliferation of evil spirit masters.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao intends to eradicate the breeding ground for evil soul masters at its root.

As Long Xiaoyao said, evil spirit masters are actually a pitiful group of people. Many of them were forced to go down the evil path because they were born with evil martial spirits and suffered injustices later in life.

In the era of Ultimate Douluo, the eternal breeze provided the answer through the Dou Tian Department: even with an evil martial soul, as long as one is taught according to aptitude, one can still cultivate in a normal way and still walk the righteous path.

To punish someone without teaching them is cruelty.

When the Douluo Federation is formed under the guidance of the Spirit Pagoda in the future, Huo Yuhao will once again promote the free awakening of the entire continent.

Then, with the help of the Spirit Pagoda, they actively seek out children who have awakened evil spirit master martial souls, guide them from a young age, and teach them according to their aptitude, so that even with special martial souls, they can still be normal people.

Once these exceptional talents have grown up, they will be placed in the Soul Palace's Dark Division, led by Ye Guyi, to provide them with a platform to showcase their abilities.

This is the only way to truly change the situation of evil spirit masters and prevent the Holy Spirit Cult from reappearing.

The best assistants to Ye Guyi are now in place.

That is Nangong Wan and Ming Lei Douluo, who signed a master-servant contract. The former is meticulous, and the latter is even a level nine soul master.

After signing the master-servant contract, the two of them were completely obedient to Huo Yuhao and were willing to give their lives for him.

The intelligence obtained by these two infiltrating the Holy Spirit Cult proved quite effective in this decapitation operation.

After being deliberately released, they led the remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult to consolidate their forces, gathering the evil spirit masters at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, waiting to close the net.

What's even more thoughtful is that these two are now the most powerful people in the Holy Spirit Cult. They have already packaged up the Holy Spirit Cult's resources accumulated over thousands of years, just waiting for Huo Yuhao to come and take them all at once.

This level of dedication would move even capitalists to tears; it's practically the most perfect workhorse.

Perhaps after the Holy Spirit Cult is completely dealt with, a few more suitable servants can be selected from the remaining Title Douluo evil soul masters to sign this master-servant contract together, which can be considered as a way for them to atone for their sins.

As for the other evil spirit masters, if they managed to survive Ye Guyi's sword attack, they can be considered to have escaped with their lives. Those who should be put to good use should be put to good use, those who should be sent to labor camps should be sent to labor camps, and those who should be imprisoned until death should be imprisoned until death.

Master Huo was kind-hearted and could not bear to see life and death separations.

As for Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui...

As a gesture of respect to Elder Mu, Huo Yuhao had no immediate intention of killing them.

After all, he was a Limit Douluo. Killing him like this would be too easy for Ye Xishui and a waste.

For example, Zhongli Wu died because he offended the Dragon King and was killed by Huo Yuhao's Flame Emperor Technique, but he still left behind a broken bone dragon king, which can be repaired and used.

As for Zhongli Wu himself, he was refined by the Creation Fire into pure energy that could be absorbed and utilized, and finally condensed into a pill.

Huo Yuhao himself wouldn't absorb this stuff. Although it wouldn't kill anyone, it would be quite disgusting. He'd just put it on the Spirit Pagoda Contribution Point Shop.

After all, it was the remnant of a level 98 Super Douluo. Although the evil soul master's energy had been completely purified, the remaining energy was enough to be considered as the power transfer of an ordinary titled Douluo.

Of course, there's no way to clear Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui's names.

Especially Ye Xishui, this madwoman has killed countless people. It can only be said that she is worthy of being called the King of Evil Soul Masters. The Death God Douluo is not just a name without substance.

As for whether she would be in trouble if she was surrounded by the Soul Master Corps, Huo Yuhao felt it was better to worry about the Soul Master Corps first.

Unless, like in the original story, several level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells are laid in advance, there is absolutely no possibility of failure.

Given the mobility of a Limit Douluo, who can fight or retreat at will, it's completely unimaginable how Ye Xishui could possibly lose.

"Let's see when Kong Mingde comes to me for help," Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

I don't know where this old man gets his inexplicable confidence from... (End of Chapter)
