Chapter 145 The Great Battle Begins
Dai Yutian sat on the dragon throne, his laughter echoing throughout the palace.
Feeling his current immense power, his eyes were filled with self-satisfaction.
He clenched his fists, his gaze fervent: "Two years ago, I endured everything due to insufficient strength, suppressing my restless ambition. Now that I finally have the strength, how could I remain subservient for long! I will unify the continent!"
At this moment, supported by his own strength, Dai Yutian's ambition burned fiercely like dry tinder.
Dai Yutian's ambition stemmed not only from his own soul power reaching level ninety-five.
In the past two years, nearly thirty Title Douluos had emerged in the entire Star Luo Empire besides him.
Thirty Title Douluos—what did that mean!
Even the three upper sects only had one or a few Title Douluos.
This powerful lineup brought the Star Luo Empire's national strength to an unprecedented height in thousands of years.
Furthermore, the Star Luo Empire had always revered the strong and loved war; it was a true battle maniac.
Dai Yutian was able to maintain his position as emperor thanks to his and his empress Zhu Yali's formidable strength.
Both were level 95 Title Douluos, their power undeniable.
Moreover, through their Soul Fusion Technique, they had established absolute prestige among the Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire.
In short, they had subdued them one by one.
Just then, Zhu Yali lifted the curtain and entered, her clear, cold voice rang out.
"Your Majesty, they've arrived."
Dai Yutian laughed heartily, embracing Zhu Yali's slender waist, his voice filled with boundless pride: "Empress, let's go together. Today will be a day remembered in the history of the Star Luo Empire."
"Of course, Your Majesty. Our hearts are united, our strength is unbreakable! I've been waiting impatiently!"
As her husband, how could Zhu Yali not understand Dai Yutian's thoughts?
At this moment, inside the main hall of the Star Luo Empire's palace, more than thirty Title Douluos gathered.
They exuded powerful soul energy, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
A voice rang out in the hall. Even before he arrived, an overwhelming aura swept through the hall.
Immediately following was a wild and domineering laugh: "Hahaha, I've kept my beloved ministers waiting!"
"As expected of His Majesty, his strength has improved again!"
The thirty-odd Title Douluos instinctively restrained their auras and straightened their postures to pay their respects.
"Your Majesty!"
Dai Yutian watched this scene with great satisfaction.
He sat down on the dragon throne, holding Zhu Yali, and slightly raised his hand.
"My dear ministers, no need for formalities. I have summoned you here today to discuss something."
Hearing this, the Title Douluos were all very excited, because they were not naive and naturally guessed Dai Yutian's thoughts.
Dai Yutian did not keep them in suspense and went straight to the point: "Now the Star Luo Empire has greatly increased in strength thanks to your ministers, but the Star Luo land is ultimately too small. How can it accommodate so many powerful figures like us?" Without giving
them a chance to object, he continued: "The Heavenly Dragon Empire was formerly the Heavenly Dou Empire. Now, it has only been two years, and its strength is probably nothing more than this. I propose that we launch an attack on the Heavenly Dragon Empire. What do you all think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Title Douluos in the hall immediately began to discuss among themselves.
These Title Douluos of the Star Luo Empire were already warlike and eager for battle. After their strength had increased dramatically in two years, they could no longer contain their restlessness.
Now that Dai Yutian had proposed attacking the Heavenly Dragon Empire, they all felt it was exactly what they wanted.
They were all calculating how to seize a territory and become kings after conquering the vast Heavenly Dragon Empire.
Dai Yutian, seeing their expressions, understood.
So he chose to add fuel to the fire, smiling and saying, "I promise that anyone who makes a contribution in the battle against the Heavenly Dragon Empire will receive a huge fiefdom. The Heavenly Dragon Empire is vast and boundless; I will take a share, and all of you will receive a share as well. Such a wonderful thing, why not?" As
soon as he finished speaking, one of the Title Douluos suddenly stepped forward.
This person was named Ling Lei Shi, his martial soul was the Mad Thunder Pig, and he was a level 91 power-attack type battle soul master.
Although he was an earl of the Star Luo Empire, his rank was very low compared to the other Title Douluos.
After all, the other Title Douluos were at least Marquises, while he was only an Earl.
Now that his strength had increased and he was also a Title Douluo, he was naturally unwilling to remain just an Earl. The ranks of nobility in the Star Luo Empire, from highest to lowest, are Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.
Earl is merely the third rank, hardly befitting his current strength.
Hearing Dai Yutian's promise, he stepped forward without hesitation, eager to be the first to act.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard, leading the vanguard troops in a surprise attack on the Tianlong Empire. I am certain we can secure the first victory for our Star Luo Empire!"
A hint of admiration flashed in Dai Yutian's eyes, and he immediately said, "Good! If Minister Ling can secure the first victory for the Star Luo Empire, after conquering the Tianlong Empire, I will bestow upon you the territory of a vassal kingdom of the Tianlong Empire as your fief!"
With that, he tossed one of the prepared troop deployment orders to Ling Lei Shi.
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
The other Title Douluos all showed expressions of regret, secretly blaming themselves for not being the first to step forward.
It's important to understand that during the Heaven Dou Empire's reign, each vassal kingdom possessed considerable territory; otherwise, they wouldn't have been called kingdoms.
However, for convenience, Lan Minghua only abolished the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, leaving everything else untouched.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dragon Empire today is almost identical to the Heaven Dou Empire, except for the change of leadership.
Ling Leishi, his face flushed with excitement, hurriedly accepted the order thrown to him by Dai Yutian, and withdrew.
He immediately assembled his army, preparing for a surprise attack on the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
Dai Yutian, observing the reactions of his men, was very satisfied.
He then promised again, "My dear ministers, do not be impatient. As long as we work together to conquer the Heavenly Dragon Empire, I promise you will all receive your own fiefdoms!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
the men clasped their fists and shouted in unison.
Dai Yutian, seizing the opportunity, distributed the army orders to the titled Douluo.
After receiving the orders, the titled Douluo took their leave, returning to lead their subordinates in preparation for the long-awaited surprise attack on the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
After everyone had left, Dai Yutian leaned back on his dragon throne, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
He murmured softly, "As long as these people serve me, unifying the continent is only a matter of time. Just wait, whether it's the Heavenly Dragon Empire or the Spirit Hall, they will all be mine sooner or later. Don't you agree, Empress?"
"Of course, Your Majesty. My Star Luo Empire is stronger than ever before, how could it possibly contend with the mere Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Spirit Hall!"
Zhu Yali and Dai Yutian exchanged a knowing smile, both looking confident of victory.
At the same time, far away in the back mountains of the Heavenly Dragon Gang's building in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, Lan Minghua slowly opened his eyes.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and then he chuckled softly.
Although this place was far from the Star Luo Empire, with his current strength, everything that happened in the Star Luo Empire was as clear as if it were right before his eyes.
"Heh, as expected, once you gain some strength, you lose your patience. You're nothing but puppets of those gods in the God Realm, not only unaware of this but also gloating. It seems you've been blinded by immediate gains."
Lan Minghua knew clearly that the numerous Title Douluos suddenly emerging in the Star Luo Empire all stemmed from the so-called inheritances given by those gods in the God Realm.
These inheritances didn't pass on the person, but rather forcibly elevated their strength to the Title Douluo level using divine power.
After all, those second-level and third-level gods hadn't lived long enough, so naturally they wouldn't pass on their divine positions to others.
To do this without a divine position was merely forcing growth, hardly worthy of respect.
These Title Douluos, forcibly elevated by divine power, didn't receive divinely bestowed spirit rings and could only hunt spirits themselves.
Lan Minghua had foresight, having instructed Di Tian two years ago to keep spirit beasts over 50,000 years old in captivity.
Although not all were kept in captivity, how many of the Star Luo Empire's Title Douluos still possessed 50,000-year-old spirit rings?
Taking both situations into account, the strength of these Title Douluos from the Star Luo Empire is far weaker than that of Title Douluos who broke through on their own.
Simply put, they
're a bunch of show-offs. Lan Minghua wouldn't tolerate the Star Luo Empire's recklessness.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dragon Empire's current strength, thanks to the Cultivation Furnace, far surpasses that of the Star Luo Empire.
He then transmitted his voice to Yun Shan,
"Old Shan, that big oaf next door has finally lost his patience. It's time to let the people of the continent see the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!"
