The Three Great Empires' assassination attempt on Xu Tianran still failed.
The two individuals who took advantage of the Mingde Hall attack were none other than Poison Undying, the Sect Master of the Body Sect from the Tianhun Empire, and the Hall Master of the Hall of Offerings from the Star Luo Empire.
Both were Level 98 Super Douluo, and their assassination attempt on Xu Tianran was seen as the deployment of the Three Great Empires' top combat power.
However, just as the two approached the viewing platform and Xu Tianran revealed his Spirit, four powerful beams of light shot up into the sky, disappearing into the air.
After ascending, the lights quickly converged in the center, forming a giant colorful light shield that enveloped the entire viewing platform.
Although the Three Great Empires' spirit tool technology was inferior to the Sun Moon Empire's, they still possessed considerable knowledge. This light originated from a high-energy compression array spirit tool, which was said to have infinitely increasing power.
Of course, truly infinitely increasing power would not appear around the Elite Competition arena, but with this type of spirit tool, capable of protecting an entire city, stopping two Super Douluo was still not a problem.
The area around the arena was already in chaos. The spectators, terrified by the sudden turn of events, were beside themselves with fear. Although the Sun Moon Empire's army arrived immediately to maintain order, they still could not calm the chaotic crowd.
The various academies and sects participating in the Elite Competition also seized this opportunity to head out of Mingdu.
Seeing that the assassination of Xu Tianran was impossible, the two Super Douluo simply took advantage of the chaos to escape in different directions.
With a Level 98 cultivation, if he was determined to escape, he naturally could not be easily stopped by the Sun Moon Empire.
On the viewing platform, although it was protected by the high-energy compression array spirit tool, some ministers also looked pale.
"Your Highness, should we send people to pursue them?" the old man in the black robe asked in a low voice.
"As long as the blockade outside is still in place, they won't get far," Xu Tianran said grimly, his face tense. After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked at Ju Zi beside him.
Ju Zi had been by Xu Tianran's side for a long time, and at this moment, a single glance was enough for her to understand his meaning.
Suppressing the pressure and fear caused by the two Super Douluo in her heart, she stood up and moved behind Xu Tianran, pushing his wheelchair forward two steps to the edge of the viewing platform.
This area had been originally prepared for the Elite Competition. At this moment, Xu Tianran had a clear view of the situation in the arena and the stands.
"Four thousand years ago, to promote spirit tools throughout the Douluo Continent, our ancestors launched a war against the Star Luo, Tianhun, and Dou Ling Three Great Empires. However, the Three Great Empires regarded advanced spirit tools as worthless."
Xu Tianran's voice came from his throat, amplified by the spirit tool, spreading throughout the entire arena and then further outwards.
"For four thousand years, our Sun Moon Empire has never given up on our original goal of promoting spirit tools across the Douluo Continent."
Gradually, the commotion in the stands was subdued by Xu Tianran's voice from the viewing platform.
"However, the Three Great Empires have always regarded us as enemies. Now, they even went so far as to attack our Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall and attempt to assassinate members of our royal family."
"This is a provocation from the Three Great Empires. They want to ignite another continental war. Now, we are ready, and the wrath of the Sun Moon Empire will surely burn across the entire Douluo Continent."
Xu Tianran's voice, carried by his spirit power, spread far and wide. The fleeing crowd, at some point, had stopped in their tracks, gradually calming down as they looked at the figure on the high platform.
Xu Tianran watched the changes below, and his expression finally improved slightly.
The black-robed old man behind him watched the situation and sighed inwardly.
Xu Tianran's rhetoric and tactics were something even their Evil Soul Masters could not match. Regardless of how effective these words would be, once spoken, the Sun Moon Empire had already placed itself on the side of "righteousness" in this continental war.
The Elite Competition naturally could not continue. After saying these words, Xu Tianran returned to the imperial palace. As orders were issued from the palace, the entire Sun Moon Empire seemed to "come alive" in that instant.
The army surrounding Mingdu, carrying Level 9 spirit tools, detained all those participating in the Elite Competition. Academies and sects that had received prior notice were driven westward, and contingents of armies and Soul Master legions stationed within the Sun Moon Empire moved continuously to the front lines.
"Your Highness, I wish to personally go to the front lines."
In the palace, Ju Zi knelt before Xu Tianran and spoke.
"Good." Xu Tianran looked at Ju Zi and slowly said, "I believe in your ability..."
"Your Highness!" As he was speaking, a guard's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"What is it?"
"Something happened in the west; it suddenly fell silent there for some reason."
"What?" Xu Tianran was startled. The west seemed to have no ambush, but it was actually a dead end he had prepared in advance. Now that something had changed, his original plan was completely disrupted. "Summon the National Preceptor to the palace, and also, report the specific situation."
"Yes!"
...
At the same time, in Qiankun Asking Love Valley, the golden and silver colors on the lake's surface had completely dissipated. The entire valley now resembled an ordinary lake, with only the constantly rippling water revealing the unrest there.
"My Lord."
A silver figure slowly descended from the sky, and several Vicious Beasts bowed their heads in unison.
In the Silver Dragon King's palm, the Dragon God's Heart still shimmered with nine-colored light, but she could no longer sense the location of the God Realm.
"Let's return to Dragon Valley first." After glancing around, the Silver Dragon King turned and left, with the other Vicious Beasts following suit.
In the God Realm, clouds rolled, and Tang San watched as the passage gradually closed, and the Douluo Continent slowly disappeared from his perception.
"Tang San, what are you doing?" The God of Destruction's face showed unsuppressed anger.
After waiting for a moment, the silver figure still did not appear, and the Sea God's face finally returned to its original calm, collected demeanor. At this moment, he was like a high and mighty God King.
"That person just now was communicating with the Seal in the Forbidden Land of the Gods. I did this for the stability of the God Realm."
"Are you abandoning the Douluo Continent by doing this?"
As the God of Destruction spoke, the Sea God's expression noticeably changed. He had made many arrangements on the Douluo Continent, but now he had no choice but to abandon all of them, and he certainly didn't feel good about it.
"Hmph, Destruction, you colluded with outsiders to disrupt the stability of the God Realm. Your account, I will settle with you when I return to the God Realm Committee."
The God of Destruction frowned and watched for a long time. "Alright, if that's the case, I will accompany you to the end."
Watching the God of Destruction flick his sleeve and leave directly, the Sea God finally let out a long, silent breath.
As expected of half of the Dragon God, he gained no advantage under her hands; instead, he consumed a lot of divine force.
However, fortunately, the God of Destruction's temperament was unpredictable, and he had no intention of fighting him to the death here.
