Up until now, the armies of the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires had not truly participated in the battle, instead letting their subordinate kingdom armies bear the brunt of the fighting.
Now, seeing that the kingdom armies were on the verge of collapse, the Two Great Empires had no choice but to intervene.
The Heaven Dou Empire immediately dispatched an army of 500,000, along with their Spirit Master forces, and their only Titled Douluo powerhouse, Sword Douluo, to guard Barak Royal City.
A true large-scale battle was about to unfold in Barak Royal City.
At this moment, the Spirit Empire's army, currently en route to Barak Royal City, had already received news from the front lines.
Snake Lance Douluo reported the situation: "Grand Marshal Lin Yu, according to reports from the front, 500,000 Heaven Dou Empire troops entered Barak Royal City yesterday."
"Have our hidden agents detected the presence of Sword Douluo?" Lin Yu asked.
"No!"
"Sword Douluo might be lurking in the shadows. Whether he's there or not, we must be prepared," Lin Yu said.
"Yes!"
After all, Sword Douluo is a 96th-level peak Titled Douluo. If he were to disguise himself among the enemy forces and suddenly launch a surprise attack on our Titled generals, it's highly possible that we could lose several Titled powerhouses.
Such a powerful individual must be heavily guarded.
As for the battle so far, the Balak Kingdom army has suffered heavy losses, but there are still over 100,000 troops remaining. Coupled with the 500,000 reinforcements from the Heaven Dou Empire, there are a total of 600,000 troops in Barak Royal City.
This battle is bound to be the largest-scale war to date.
Lin Yu ordered the army to set up camp outside Barak Royal City and recuperate for two days before launching a full-scale assault.
At this moment, inside the military camp.
Lin Yu, who was cultivating with Gu Yuena, slowly opened his eyes. He slightly clenched his fists, his expression surging with emotion: "I have a premonition that in at most one or two days, I will be able to break through to the Titled Douluo realm."
"Is that so? Then congratulations," Gu Yuena said with a faint smile.
This period of long-term dual cultivation had significantly deepened the relationship between Lin Yu and Gu Yuena.
They weren't the closest of friends, but they were certainly on friendly terms.
Lin Yu didn't hide anything and spoke frankly: "Gu Yuena, you know that I am the inheritor of the Seven Elemental Gods, chosen by the Seven Gods."
"But I cannot inherit all Seven Elemental God Positions simultaneously. Initially, the Seven Gods only wanted me to choose one God Position to inherit from among them. However, through ten years of unremitting effort, I can now achieve Four Gods Fusion, and even inherit five first-grade God Positions simultaneously."
"What, Four Gods Fusion?" Gu Yuena was greatly astonished upon hearing this. She did know that Lin Yu was chosen by the Seven Elemental Gods, but she thought he would only choose one God Position to inherit.
She never expected that Lin Yu could already inherit four God Positions simultaneously. But upon closer thought, this heaven-defying human youth indeed possessed the qualification and ability to bear multiple God Positions at the same time.
"That's right, even at only level 89, your physical body has already cultivated to two-tenths of a God Body, and your spirit is even more terrifying. You can indeed inherit multiple God Positions simultaneously."
"If you can ultimately inherit five first-grade God Positions among the Seven Element Gods, you should be able to become a half-step God King level powerhouse in the future, on par with me at my peak. That's not bad," Gu Yuena said admiringly.
"But I am not satisfied with Five Gods Fusion. My ultimate goal is Seven Gods Fusion." Lin Yu shook his head, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
"Seven Gods Fusion, that should be very difficult, right?"
"It is indeed very difficult, but if my ninth spirit ring can absorb a spirit ring with energy even more powerful than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's infinitely close to a million-year spirit ring..."
"Perhaps then I will have a chance to achieve Seven Gods Fusion." As he spoke, Lin Yu's gaze fell meaningfully upon Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena seemed to sense something, and her brows furrowed instantly: "Lin Yu, you wouldn't be trying to take advantage of me, would you?"
"That's right." Lin Yu was very direct, without any concealment.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's eyes instantly flashed with hostility: "Lin Yu, what exactly do you mean? Are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing it?"
"Don't get agitated, let me finish first."
If not for the emotional foundation that had developed between Gu Yuena and Lin Yu during this period, she would have unhesitatingly forcefully lifted her seal and attacked after that one sentence.
She watched Lin Yu expressionlessly, wanting to hear what he was planning.
"Gu Yuena, have you heard of a wisdom spirit ring or a Spirit?" (The settings for wisdom spirit rings and Spirits are slightly different, but in this book, they are set to mean the same thing.)
"What is that?" Gu Yuena asked, her face filled with doubt.
Lin Yu explained: "A Spirit is another form of existence for a Spirit Beast. It signs a contract with a Spirit Master, allowing it to transform into the Spirit Master's spirit ring without being hunted. In this form, the Spirit Beast's soul can retain its consciousness and assist the Spirit Master in battle."
"As long as the Spirit Master doesn't die, the Spirit won't perish."
"A Spirit can also grow stronger as its host's strength increases."
"If this Spirit Master can cultivate to become a God, then their Spirit can also transform into a deity, ascending to the God Realm with their host Spirit Master and possessing eternal life."
Gu Yuena said in a deep voice: "So, if I become your Spirit, my life will forever be bound to yours, becoming a part of your power, residing within your body, losing my freedom, and always having to stay by your side."
"And I'll even have to obey your commands and become your enforcer, right?"
"You could say that, but not entirely." Lin Yu replied.
Gu Yuena sneered: "Heh, I'm sorry, I refuse."
How could she, the dignified Silver Dragon King, be willing to become a human's Spirit?
Lin Yu already knew she wouldn't easily accept his proposal, so this matter required an equivalent exchange.
Or to offer conditions attractive enough to her.
"If an ordinary Spirit Beast becomes a Spirit Master's Spirit, their life might never change, but you might be different. I think you can split your main body, right?" Lin Yu gazed at Gu Yuena.
In the original work, Gu Yuena could split off 30% of her main body's power to form Na'er.
Forming a separate individual.
Becoming two people.
One was Gu Yue, and the other was Na'er, possessing two personalities.
Gu Yue held 70% of the main body's power, while Na'er held 30%.
Lin Yu continued: "You can temporarily lend me 50% of your main body's power to transform into a Spirit and become my ninth spirit ring. After I become a God, I will be able to use the power of a God King to return 20% of that power to you."
"Allowing your soul, which is 50% of your power as a Spirit, to return to your body. This means that you can eventually shed the identity of a Spirit, but the cost is that 30% of your main body's power will forever become my ninth spirit ring for my use."
"Gu Yuena, as long as you are willing to help me, as a condition, I can help you devour the Golden Dragon King and achieve Dragon God!"
