Chapter 146: The Words of the Strong, the Target, and the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord

The remaining six Title Douluo stood together, one after another revealing their martial souls in preparation, but the facts told them that the person before them was someone they seemingly could not afford to provoke.

A Title Douluo had fallen just like that, and this was no ordinary Title Douluo; at Level 96, they were already among the top five existences on the continent.

Even a Level 97 Title Douluo, when fighting this Level 96 one, would not dare to say they were one hundred percent certain of being able to kill them, or even that their win rate was guaranteed.

Yet, such a powerful Title Douluo had been killed in an instant by someone, and now that person was saying they would kill another one of them.

"Xu Ming and the others, have they already been killed by you?" Xu Tianyang asked, because the other party had just said they killed six Title Douluo and had come from the direction of the allied forces; the three Title Douluo who had gone back to scout earlier had likely all fallen.

These three were all Title Douluo of the Sunset Empire; with a slight lapse in attention, the entire Sunset Empire now had only two Title Douluo left, while the Mingyue Empire still had five. If they kept fighting like this, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the Sunset Empire.

Yet, since the other party clearly wanted one person from their side, what else could they do? They could only fight to the death.

Lingxu said, "Do you want to join forces?"

"I originally only intended to kill one more, but if you all attack together, then I don't know how many I will kill," Lingxu said indifferently.

Xu Tianyang analyzed the situation internally; if they were going to die, then they would die together. Could they really just send one person to be killed, letting the Mingyue Empire sacrifice a Title Douluo to die? How could that be possible?

"Attack!" Xu Tianyang shouted, his Sun Martial Soul rotating on his body.

"Since that is the case, then do not blame me."

Lingxu held the Dark Demon Evil God Spear and charged over in an instant, directly activating his First Spirit Skill, Duel Space, in the middle of the group.

In an instant, all six of them entered Lingxu's space.

All six were caught in the trap; this had to be attributed to the benefits brought by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger spirit ring, as the Spirit Beast itself was not weak, and after its age was increased to one hundred thousand years, it had risen to another level.

Therefore, after using it, there would be a range; as long as one's soul power within this range did not exceed his own, they could be drawn into the Duel Space.

Of course, this range was currently not particularly wide, only one hundred and seventeen meters, which seemed to be based on the age of the spirit ring.

The age of this spirit ring of Lingxu's was currently just over one hundred and seventeen thousand years, so every one thousand years added to the spirit ring age was equivalent to expanding this range by one meter.

Although this space expanded, for Lingxu, there were both advantages and disadvantages.

If it were particularly large, it would draw more people in.

This would lead to a situation of fighting many while unable to use soul power, or even fighting one against one hundred.

Of course, if one's strength was ridiculously powerful, like Lingxu, then that was the case for the six people before him.

Even if three Limit Douluo came now, Lingxu would not fear them, unless the three of them joined forces.

But it was impossible for those three to join forces to deal with him; in this world, only God Level powerhouses could currently threaten Lingxu.

The six people entered the somewhat pitch-black space, and with soul power unable to be used, they all panicked.

"Elder Tianyang, our soul power cannot be used; we can only manifest our martial souls."

"Indeed, what kind of spirit skill is this? We cannot cast anything; at most, we can only release our martial souls."

The few were discussing it, yet just at this moment, a miserable scream was heard, and one of the Mingyue Empire's Titled Douluo among the six had perished.

Lingxu had used the Dark Demon Evil God Spear to pierce directly through the other party's chest.

"What kind of spirit skill is this?"

The remaining five were all panicked; no matter what method they used, they could never break the shackles, and their soul power remained unusable.

This spirit skill of Lingxu's was truly bullying; his current soul power was Level 99, and only a God Level expert at Level 100 could remain unrestricted and break this Duel Space.

Moreover, this was the power of a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit skill; how could they possibly contend with it?

Lingxu did not answer: "I said earlier that I would only kill one, but you didn't listen, so I have to kill one more. Will you recommend one to die yourselves, or shall I do it? However, if I do it, then one more will have to die, meaning I will have to kill two."

They had truly been reduced to fish on a chopping block, but they had no way out; soul power could not be driven, and even the Soul Guidance Devices on their bodies could not be used.

The Sun Martial Soul and Moon Martial Soul were truly inferior to a Tool Martial Soul when brought out now.

Xu Tianyang said, "Our Sunset Empire only has the two of us Titled Douluo left, while your Mingyue Empire still has four."

"Xu Tianyang, what do you mean by this?" the Level 97 Yue Huang asked.

"Old Yue, this is already a situation of certain death. If we continue to resist, perhaps we will all fall here. If we fall, what will become of the empire?" Xu Tianyang said.

"So I hope your Mingyue Empire will make some sacrifices."

Xu finished and glanced at the Mingyue Empire's Level 93 Titled Douluo.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Why doesn't your Sunset Empire sacrifice?" Yue Huang said.

"Although we still have four Title Douluo, the one who was injured is basically crippled. Before I came, I also received news that although their life was saved, their soul power dropped to Level 91, and they can never advance a single step for the rest of their life."

"They look like a Title Douluo, but in reality, they can only be considered a slightly stronger Spirit Douluo from now on," Yue Huang analyzed. How could they let a Title Douluo sacrifice themselves in vain?

Seeing this, Lingxu said, "My time is limited. I will count to three; once you have decided, have someone step out."

"Three..."

"Two."

Lingxu counted to two, but both sides still could not decide. In such a life-or-death situation, how could they make a decision in such a short time to send someone to die? It was too difficult.

None of them wanted it to be their turn.

But just as Lingxu was about to say one, Xu Tianyang made his move; he was seen quickly pushing the Mingyue Empire's Level 93 Titled Douluo.

"It's him!" Xu Tianyang said.

"Old Dog Xu, what the hell are you doing?" Yue Huang shouted in anger.

"Do you know that he is the one with the best talent in our generation of the Mingyue Empire? He is only fifty-one years old! He became a Titled Douluo at forty-four, and reached Level 93 at fifty-one. He is the only Titled Douluo in our Mingyue Empire in a thousand years with a chance to break through to Level 98. You want him to die; why don't you go die?"

Yet, just as Yue Huang was speaking, a miserable scream was heard.

Lingxu's Dark Demon Evil God Spear had pierced this Title Douluo, whose talent was comparable to Tang Hao's; it seemed that, like Tang Hao, he had also become a Title Douluo at the age of forty-four.

Yet, such a genius had fallen!

Yue Huang felt such hatred; he hated this Xu Tianyang to death.

In fact, this was also Lingxu's goal: to make these two great empires suffer internal friction and harbor grudges, so that the Star Empire could contend with them in the future; otherwise, it would not be good to leave too many Title Douluo.

Of course, Lingxu had another goal: to slightly weaken the Sun Moon Star Continent.

The three empires would form a situation of balance and mutual restraint in the future.

However, there is still a downside to this; mutual restraint might lead to competition, and once there is competition, it could lead to rapid development.

Unification has its benefits, but it also has drawbacks, namely a lack of drive to progress; there is a peak, but it will also gradually head toward decline.

Facing these words from Yue Huang, Xu Tianyang's face flushed slightly; at this critical moment, he had no other choice.

He had tried to escape this place too many times after entering, yet he still had no way to leave, and he had also roughly gauged the other party's soul power.

It was definitely a Level 99 Title Douluo; facing such a peerless powerhouse, saving his own life was the priority, regardless of the means used.

In any case, better the other guy than me; letting the people of the Mingyue Empire die to save himself was not a loss, and at worst, the two great empires would become enemies from now on.

However, the two great empires were not that friendly to begin with; the reason they were walking together so amicably now was entirely driven by interests.

Now, Yue Huang could only accept his fate, hoping to return safely.

Lingxu smiled; in fact, this was also a test of human nature.

"Fine, since I said that if you push one person out, I will only kill one, I won't kill you later. However, I still cannot let you leave yet."

Once these words were spoken, the faces of the four turned green.

"Senior, what else do you want?" Yue Huang asked.

Lingxu said: "Actually, I am here this time to help the Star Empire, so you understand."

Lingxu did not need to say it; even a fool knew he was here to help the Star Empire.

Xu Tianyang said: "My Sunset Empire is willing to withdraw our troops, vacate the cities occupied in the Star Empire, release all prisoners, return the plundered wealth, and compensate with five hundred million Gold Soul Coins."

Compared to the Douluo Continent, although the weight of the Gold Soul Coins here is much higher than on the Douluo Continent, their purchasing power is only half that of the Douluo Continent.

The reason is that the gold mine resources here are abundant, so when things are plentiful, their value naturally drops.

If one brought Gold Soul Coins from the Douluo Continent here, two coins would count as one, and then with the purchasing power halved, it would be at least a 1 to 4 exchange rate.

But if one were to take the Gold Soul Coins from here back to the Douluo Continent, that would truly be profiting from the price difference.

For example, if one brought one hundred million Gold Soul Coins worth of supplies from the Douluo Continent to sell, they could obtain two hundred million Gold Soul Coins of the Sun Moon Star Continent, and those two hundred million Gold Soul Coins taken back to the Douluo Continent would be worth four hundred million Gold Soul Coins.

Being able to earn a price difference of three hundred million Gold Soul Coins at once—this business is far too profitable.

However, Lingxu is not short of Gold Soul Coins now, and in the future, the resources of this Star Empire will be supplied continuously; one must know that these are all free.

Judging from the conditions Xu Tianyang proposed, he really does not want to die; his desire to survive is extremely strong.

Perhaps it is related to his soul power reaching the Level 97 peak, as he wants to break through to Level 98.

If he were to die at this time, he would truly be unwilling.

And hearing Xu Tianyang say this, could Yue Huang say anything worse than that?

"Senior, we are the same as him! We ask that Senior let this matter end here."

Lingxu nodded after hearing this and said: "That is good. Use this as a baseline to negotiate with Xingyi. I hope you do not fail to appreciate what is good for you. Killing you would not take the slightest effort."

"Yes, Senior!" At this moment, would they dare to say a word of dissent?

Although the losses were somewhat heavy, at least their lives were saved.

Even with more resentment, in the face of this absolute strength, they could only grit their teeth and swallow it.

"Good, I hope so. If you go back on your word, the consequences will not just be for yourselves." After Lingxu finished speaking, he released them.

Returning to reality, the four were very fortunate to have survived the ordeal.

Yet even so, they were still respectful to Lingxu, and this is the gap in strength; whoever has the harder fist is who one listens to.

"Alright, go back and prepare. At this time tomorrow, come here to negotiate," Lingxu said.

The four felt relieved upon hearing this and said in unison: "Yes, Senior."

This is the benefit of having great power. As for revenge, Lingxu has never been afraid; besides, do they even know where he came from?

These people fled, not even daring to take the corpses of the Title Douluo, and Lingxu had used the Dark Demon Evil God Spear to devour most of the energy from these corpses; although the people became somewhat strange, Lingxu still tried his best to maintain their original appearance.

And just as these Title Douluo were leaving, the gates of Star Capital City opened.

Xingyi came out with a team of people.

And after Xingyi arrived, Lingxu threw these corpses out directly.

A total of five corpses were laid out in front of Xingyi just like that.

These were all long-renowned Title Douluo, especially that Xu Ming, who was already over a hundred years old and a solid Level 97 Title Douluo.

Xingyi truly wished Lingxu would kill all the remaining Title Douluo, but he dared not ask for so much; this was already the best outcome.

Lingxu said: "Xingyi, I have already killed half of the Title Douluo. At this time tomorrow, they will naturally come to make peace. At the same time, they have agreed to withdraw from the cities occupied in the Star Empire, release all prisoners, return the plundered wealth, and compensate with five hundred million Gold Soul Coins. If you have any other specific requirements, you can also bring them up, but do not be too excessive, lest they decide to go down with you."

"Although I can kill their top-tier combat power, I cannot go and slaughter their hundreds of thousands of troops, do you understand?" Lingxu said.

Xingyi nodded and said: "Senior Ling, this junior understands. Thank you for your reminder."

After speaking, Lingxu moved his mind and released the Second Prince and Sixth Prince of the Star Empire from his space.

Lingxu said: "I have brought the people back for you. What I promised you is complete. The rest is up to you. In three months, I will come to find you to discuss things properly."

"Many thanks, Senior. Three months is enough for me to handle the affairs within the empire. I will certainly prepare all the resources and soul guidance technology for you, Senior," Xingyi said respectfully.

It can be said that without this senior before him, the Star Empire would have already been carved up by the other two great empires.

At this moment, Xingyi could finally heave a sigh of relief.

And after Lingxu finished speaking, he flew directly into the sky and then flew toward the depths of the Sun Moon Star Continent.

Having arrived at the Sun Moon Star Continent, what Lingxu wanted was naturally not just these resources, but also an important item.

Since this continent exists, then there is this hundreds-of-thousands-of-years-old fierce beast, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord.

This guy should be in the Evil Demon Forest of this continent; it is perfect to use as the fifth Spirit Ring for his Dark Demon Evil God Spear.

Of course, the vast Evil Demon Forest might have more than one hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast; the powerful Spirit Beasts of this forest seem to be very compatible with his martial soul, the Dark Demon Evil God Spear.
