Chapter 678: The Continent on the Brink of Unification (Please Subscribe)_1

Sunset Forest, within the canyon...

Seated cross-legged, Qian Yu and Tang Wutong both emitted faint blue swirls on their bodies, and the Soul Power within them was still strengthening...

After a while, one could only hear a loud "buzzing" sound erupting from their bodies, sending shocking ripples that spread towards the surroundings of the entire canyon...

Subsequently, Qian Yu's pale golden eyes quietly opened, coincidentally meeting Tang Wutong's enchanting pink-purple eyes...

The latter stuck out her tongue and licked her tender lips, teasingly said to Qian Yu, "Qian Yu, guess what level I've broken through to?"

This breakthrough speed, even she herself found it somewhat unbelievable...

Qian Yu pondered for a moment before guessing, "Level 85?"

Tang Wutong blinked her beautiful eyes, proudly said, "Wrong! It's level 89!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Yu was completely stunned, exclaiming in shock, "Level 89??"

He remembered that before coming to Sunset Forest, Tang Wutong's soul power rank was around level 83—how could she have suddenly broken through to level 89?

Could it be because of that soul bone? But then again, it seemed impossible for it to have such a huge effect!

Tang Wutong nodded slightly, explaining, "That's right, level 89. The reason I could break through so quickly is not only because of the soul bone given by Dad to accelerate my training, but most importantly, it was the rewards provided by the God Position's inheritance!"

Because she had received the Butterfly God's inheritance too late, many rewards were forced to be delayed, but this time they were all given back to her...

Qian Yu smiled and said, "Then congratulations to you, Wu Tong, just one more level and you'll break through to the Titled Douluo!"

Internally, he thought, "The God Position's inheritance could actually provide a reward for increasing soul power?"

If he had successfully obtained the God Position himself, perhaps he could have easily reached Ultimate Douluo, or even become a god...

Tang Wutong asked with curiosity, "What about you, Qian Yu?"

Qian Yu's expression became somewhat solemn, "I've just broken through to a level 95 Hyper Douluo, and to simply cultivate here to become an Ultimate Douluo is no easy matter!"

After level 95, even he felt a significant slowdown in his breakthrough speed!

If he continued to cultivate at this pace, reaching a level 98 Hyper Douluo would also require several years of time...

Tang Wutong raised her eyebrows, "So shall we continue to cultivate here?"

Qian Yu stretched out his hand and gently stroked her silky hair, softly saying, "Yes! After you break through to Titled Douluo, we'll go back to Hao Tian Clan to acquire Soul Rings..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wutong sighed silently, with a hint of longing, "I wonder how Sister Tang Ya and the others are doing now. I hope they are all right."

Qian Yu pursed his lips, reassuringly said, "Wu Tong, focus on your cultivation. Sister Tang Ya and the others will be fine."

Based on the current estimate of time, it's likely that the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire are nearing their end...

Perhaps, by the time we leave, it will also be time to put an end to this absurd war of domination...

Tang Wutong hummed an acknowledgment, then closed her beautiful eyes again and concentrated on her cultivation...

...

Shrek Academy! Inside the Sea God's Pavilion...

Yan Shaozhe and the other two were all sitting in silence...

After leaving the Xingluo Empire, they quickly returned to Shrek Academy using a flying soul device...

Seated at the head of the table was Xuan Zi, whose hair had turned white within a single day, giving him the look of a man who had weathered the ages…

If one ignored his status as an Ultimate Douluo, he looked merely like an ordinary old man, one foot already in the coffin…

His murky eyes glanced at Yan Shaozhe and the other two, and he spoke with extreme solemnity, "You must have heard, right? About Fan Yu and the others…"

Pain filled Yan Shaozhe's eyes as he struggled to say, "Yes," with a nod…

Xian Lin'er clenched her fists, anger flaring as she declared, "We absolutely cannot let Sun-Moon Empire get away with this! We must avenge them!"

With her fiery temperament, the loss of four members who had been with them day and night was something she couldn't possibly swallow!

Only Xuan Ziwen bit his teeth in silence, refraining from speaking…

Xuan Zi took a deep breath, "I understand your feelings. We in Sea God's Pavilion have lost four members at once; who wouldn't feel the pain? However, I still hope you won't be blinded by hatred!"

Though Fan Yu and the others were gone, there was still Shrek Academy that needed their protection!

Elder Song, by Xuan Zi's side, also spoke gravely, "Elder Xuan is right, even though Fan Yu and the others have made their sacrifice, it is our duty now more than ever to protect Shrek Academy! To prevent it from suffering even greater disasters."

"So, let's all pull ourselves together!"

Yan Shaozhe began to tremble with overt emotions, saying, "Elder Song, Elder Xuan, we understand all these principles, but... but…"

As he spoke, tears involuntarily began to fall from his reddened eyes…

Seeing Yan Shaozhe crying out in pain, the rest of the members of Sea God's Pavilion subconsciously pursed their lips, their hearts filled with complexity…

But no one ridiculed his outburst, nor did anyone offer consolation…

Because after letting it all out with a cry, one's heart would feel much better!

…

Inside Sun-Moon Empire's Grand Hall…

There, seated on the throne and exuding an icy chill, was Marshal Ju Zi, her piercing gaze scanning the ministers below, her entire being radiating an oppressive air of authority…

However, what was different was that only Ye Xishui stood before her, the reason being that Long Xiaoyao had suffered severe injuries…

A Soul Douluo kneeling at the forefront spoke with utmost respect, "Congratulations, Marshal Ju Zi. Your long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled. The elite troops led by Wind Douluo and Blazing Sun Douluo have successively breached several cities! They are soon to challenge the royal households of the two major empires!"

Once their Soul Master Troop occupied the royal households of the other two empires, it would signify that the war had come to a perfect close with the victory of Sun-Moon Empire!

Surprise flickered in Ju Zi's beautiful eyes as she thought, "So soon? It is beyond expectation…"

She had thought that the Soul Masters of Xingluo Empire and Sky Soul Empire would put up a fierce resistance, but now it seemed that the elite troops of Sun-Moon Empire had crushed their will to resist…

The rest of the ministers, upon hearing this, began to stir…

Fawning over her, they said, "Perhaps in a few days, Marshal Ju Zi, you shall become the sovereign of the Continent. We suggest preparing the coronation ceremony in advance!"

"Exactly! At that time, not only will Marshal Ju Zi be the ruler of our Sun-Moon Empire, but she will also be a figure of worship to all people!"

"No, no, no! Marshal Ju Zi should be called the first emperor to successfully rule the entire Continent!!"

Watching the ministers spouting flattering words, Ju Zi simply glanced at them with her beautiful eyes, responding without too many words...

Because for her, unifying the Continent was merely the first step…
