The members of the army in the rear watched the meteor falling from the sky, and a chill filled their hearts.
A voice couldn't help but say, "How... how terrifying is this power? Is this the strength of a Hyper Douluo?"
"With our level of Defensive Soul Guidance Devices, we can't possibly withstand this. No wonder powerful Soul Masters are more intimidating than powerful soul tools!"
"Yes, and look at this range; it covers thousands of meters, there's no way to dodge it!"
Suddenly, one of the warriors swallowed hard, "Hey, hey, aren't you worried at all? This meteor is coming right at us!!"
As soon as the words fell, they got a comforting reply...
"Don't worry, with the Holy Dragon Douluo here, there's absolutely no problem. The old master is the strongest in our Xingluo Empire!"
En Ci took a deep breath, a serious look gradually shining in his eyes, "Your strength is indeed formidable, but just this alone is not enough to defeat me."
The eighth Soul Ring beneath his feet also lit up...
"Eighth soul skill, Holy Dragon Devouring Sun Wave!!"
In the midst of it all, a fierce and powerful wave of light spewed out from the mouth of the Holy Radiant Dragon, striking the meteor above...
The two forces collided together...
"Boom!!"
The dazzling light, mixed with a terrifying explosion sound, constantly appeared, making the entire space tremble...
As for the meteor, it had long since shattered into countless tiny fragments...
The Hyper Douluo, having spent a considerable amount of Soul Power, panted a few times, speaking with a respectful tone, "Is this the power of the Holy Dragon Douluo? I have learned!"
After just a brief clash of two soul skills, he already understood that he was definitely not a match for the former!
The gap between level 97 and level 99 was indeed not so simple!
En Ci nodded slightly, just standing at the front of the army, using his formidable personal power to dispel the Federation Members' intention to attack!
At this moment, a Mecha suddenly broke into the federal camp...
The man inside jumped out of the Mecha, rushed to the front, and shouted, "Report, according to the message just sent from headquarters, stop attacking the Xingluo Empire, tomorrow a federation representative will come for negotiation!"
The Hyper Douluo, hearing this, waved his hand to the Soul Master troops behind, signaling them to stop charging the soul tools...
"Everyone, stay in your places, do not attack on your own!"
In his heart, he was secretly thinking, "This time, those old guys in the federation are confused, aren't they? With a strong presence like this in the Xingluo Empire, how could they possibly be controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult!"
.....
After returning from the Tang Sect's headquarters, Li Yunzhe immediately sent someone to communicate with Dou Ling Empire's Emperor Xue Yuntian, and both sides arranged to discuss in the imperial palace!!
At this moment, outside the imperial palace!
Leading Li Yunzhe looked at the Tang Sect Members behind him, "You wait here!"
The Tang Sect Members nodded slightly, "Yes!"
Then, Li Yunzhe walked up to the soldiers holding long spears and wearing golden armor, and spoke, "Please notify that Li Yunzhe, the person in charge of the Tang Sect Branch of Douling Empire, requests an audience!"
Upon hearing this, these soldiers became vigilant and did not immediately allow him to pass!
"Please present something to prove your identity!"
Seeing this, Li Yunzhe was not angry, "I believe the imperial decree given by His Majesty the Emperor should suffice, yes?"
After saying that, he handed over Emperor Xue Yuntian's decree...
These soldiers carefully examined it and, after confirming it was correct, returned it to him without a change in expression...
"It was just a routine check, please do not mind, sir!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is already waiting in the hall, please..."
Li Yunzhe then nodded, taking steps into the imperial palace...
...
Upon entering the hall, the first sight was Xue Yuntian sitting on the throne!
He immediately bowed, respectfully, "Your Majesty, Li Yunzhe, the person in charge of the Tang Sect Branch, is here to see you!"
Meanwhile, his gaze swiftly scanned the surroundings...
In his heart, he thought, "In this hall, there's actually no one present. With such lax protection, if I wanted to take this emperor's life, it probably wouldn't be too difficult, would it?"
Xue Yuntian's eyes were filled with a burning passion, but he tried to remain calm, "No worries, I heard that the Tang Sect headquarters agreed to my proposal?"
That is the core technology of soul tools, concerning Dou Ling Empire's national power, it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited!
Li Yunzhe responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Yes, Your Majesty, the matter of selling the core technology of soul tools to the Douling Empire has been approved by the Sect Leader!"
Xue Yuntian clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Good, very good! The Tang Sect is indeed our Douling Empire's ally!"
He initially held only a mindset of giving it a try, never expecting that the Tang Sect would actually agree!
This was simply a huge surprise for him!
Li Yunzhe's eyes narrowed slightly, "Your Majesty is joking. It is all for mutual benefit."
The former's words clearly intended to draw the Tang Sect to his side; as a neutral force, they naturally could not take a stance!
Yet Xue Yuntian still meaningfully said, "Ah, you can't say that. With the first cooperation, there will be more possibilities in the future!"
Li Yunzhe had no intention of dwelling too much on this issue, so he shifted the topic, "Your Majesty, although the Sect Leader agreed to sell the core technology of soul tools to the Douling Empire, there is one condition!"
Upon hearing this, the former's expression subtly changed...
A few seconds later, he spoke again, "Go ahead, as long as it is something I can satisfy, I will not decline!"
Li Yunzhe took a deep breath, "There's only one condition, and that is the final assembly of the soul tools developed in the future must be carried out uniformly by the Tang Sect Branch!"
"The reason is that during the assembly process, there is a lot of knowledge involving hidden weapons of the Tang Sect!"
Xue Yuntian furrowed his brows, "This, let me think about it..."
This condition was undoubtedly disadvantageous for the Douling Empire!
For in the event of future war, mass production of soul tools would be necessary, at that time, if the Tang Sect refused to offer assistance, the consequences would be imaginable!
However, if they did not agree, the Douling Empire really had no way to obtain soul tools from other forces!
He took a deep breath and clenched his teeth, "Can't you change to another condition?"
Li Yunzhe shook his head, "Your Majesty, this is the Tang Sect's final bottom line! If not for the need for large amounts of resources for development, we absolutely would not sell the core technology of soul tools!"
After much deliberation, with no way out, Xue Yuntian had no choice but to agree...
"Fine, I agree!"
As long as they can popularize soul tools among the Douling Empire's army before the war breaks out, even if they face a blockade from the Tang Sect, it would not have a great impact!
The corners of Li Yunzhe's lips slightly curved upwards, "Then three days later, I will lead the disciples of the Tang Sect Soul Guidance Hall here to teach the core technology of soul tools!"
"Of course, I also hope that Your Majesty will prepare the items for the transaction!"
