Chapter 597: Bibi Dong: I declare, the Martial Soul Empire is established today!

The dozen or so subsidiary minor kingdoms located in the buffer zone on the border of Heaven Dou and Star Luo ushered in their doom.

There were no negotiations.

Nor was there any need for warnings.

Spirit Hall’s law enforcement regiment cut open the national gates of these kingdoms like black blades.

"The Barak Kingdom harbors heretical evil Spirit Masters and shields crimes; they deserve to be executed!"

"The Limaha Principality persecutes orthodox Spirit Masters and plunders Spirit Hall’s resources; they deserve to be annihilated!"

...

Charge after charge was nailed to the city gates of each kingdom.

Royal Clan members were dragged out of their palaces overnight.

At the slightest resistance, they were executed on the spot.

Those kings who used to play both sides in the cracks of the two Empires knelt before Spirit Hall’s cardinals and wept bitterly, only to be met with ruthless slaughter blades.

In less than three months.

More than a dozen subsidiary kingdoms in the central mainland all changed flags.

The royal flags were pulled down, and the Six-Winged Angel banners of Spirit Hall were planted in their place.

All territories, populations, and resources were unceremoniously reclaimed under Spirit Hall’s direct administration.

Such an arrogant move naturally triggered a fierce backlash.

The first to cause trouble were not the two Empires, but the Hall of Elders inside Spirit Hall.

...

In front of the Pope’s Palace, golden light shone brilliantly.

The six great Elders headed by Golden Crocodile Douluo gathered together.

"Bibi Dong! Exactly what do you want to do?!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo’s hair and beard stood on end, and the pressure of a ninety-eighth-LevelpeakTitled Douluo was released without reservation, shocking the surrounding cardinals into retreating repeatedly.

"Spirit Hall is the Holy Land of Spirit Masters! It is a religious belief!"

"Secular royal power constantly shifts, but only belief lasts forever!"

"Are you trying to destroy the foundation accumulated by past Popes in one go by annexing territories and snatching secular crowns now?"

These Elders of theirs were conservatives.

The voice of the conservatives was extremely loud.

They were accustomed to being high above, transcending worldly affairs.

Wearing a black Pope long dress and holding a scepter, Bibi Dong walked up the steps.

She did not even glance at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Times have changed, Second Elder."

"Dong!"

The scepter slammed heavily onto the ground.

A purplish-black halo took the tip of the scepter as its center and spread wildly along the ground.

In just a breath.

That aura of ultimate destruction belonging to the God of Destruction directly crushed Golden Crocodile Douluo’s proud peak pressure.

The air became incomparably viscous.

The few Elders present only felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on their chests, and the circulation of their Soul Power completely stagnated.

Golden Crocodile Douluo let out a muffled grunt, his legs bending out of control, almost kneeling to the ground.

Divine Power!

The Elders’ hearts shook wildly, and as they looked at the noble and cold woman before them, extreme dread appeared in the depths of their eyes.

That was Divine Power of the same Level as the High Priest!

"Religion only makes people numb."

Bibi Dong looked down at the Elders, her voice cool and aloof.

"What I want is for me alone to reign supreme over this continent!"

"The nation-founding plan cannot be changed. Whoever blocks it is a heretic!"

Force deterrence is always the most effective method.

...

The opposition from the Hall of Elders was forcibly suppressed.

Once Spirit Hall this huge machine was set in motion, there was no possibility of it stopping again.

Bibi Dong carried out a sweeping reorganization.

The nearly one hundred thousand subordinate Spirit Masters broke through their original branch systems.

They were re-divided according to their Martial Soul attributes and combat power.

Sacred Dragon Legion!

Composed entirely of attack system and defense system battle Spirit Masters, responsible for tearing apart enemy formations.

Demon Bear Legion!

Paired with heavy armor infantry and strength-type Spirit Masters, they constructed an absolute defense.

Sparrow Bee Legion!

All Agility-Attack SystemSpirit Masters, responsible for beheading and severing intelligence.

The original Titled DouluoElders were split into two groups.

The main-battle faction was directly incorporated into the upper echelons of the army, while the garrison faction secretly headed to the borderlines of the two Empires to complete the final tactical encirclement.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena was officially conferred the title of "EmpireSaintess".

She did not step onto the battlefield.

Instead, she led a large group of internal affairs personnel into the newly conquered kingdom territories.

The public opinion war had begun!

"Heaven Dou is corrupt, and the nobles are insatiably greedy!"

"Star Luo is warlike, leaving the common people with no way to live!"

"Only the Martial Soul Empire can break this outdated class and give all civilian Spirit Masters across the continent an era of fairness!"

Similar remarks spread like wildfire through Spirit Hall’s grassroots branches spread all over the continent.

The lower-class common people had long suffered under the two Empires for a long time.

These rhetorical techniques hit the pain points directly.

Spirit Hall’s prestige among the common people not only did not suffer due to the annexation wars, but instead reached an unprecedented peak.

The pacification of the rear was extremely smooth, and the morale of the army and the hearts of the people all fell into Bibi Dong’s hands.

In contrast, the two Empires showed exasperating stupidity and sluggishness at this time.

...

Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Capital.

Emperor Xue Ye was bedridden due to illness.

His already frail body completely collapsed after learning the news of "Crown PrinceXue Qinghe’s" sudden death a few years ago.

In the imperial court, there was no leader among the dragons.

Nobles from all walks of life stepped down to take sides, making the entire Heaven Dou high-level a foul mess.

Regarding Spirit Hall’s move to annex the central kingdoms, Heaven Dou’s civil officials gave a unanimous judgment: "Spirit Hall’s move is merely to expand its sphere of influence and demand more taxes."

"Your Majesty is seriously ill, and maintaining domestic stability is the top priority."

"We must absolutely not conflict with Spirit Hall at this time. Let them be."

Burying one’s head in the sand and deceiving oneself.

...

Star Luo Empire’s situation was not much better either.

The martial Star Luo should have been extremely sensitive to this kind of military expansion.

But the brutal internal struggle for imperial power blinded their eyes.

The factional friction between First Prince Dai Weisi and Third Prince Dai Mubai had reached a white-hot stage.

Half of Star Luo’s military power was sitting on the fence, while the other half was guarding against each other.

Even though they learned from Dai Mubai about Spirit Hall’s intervention in the border battlefield, they didn’t take it seriously.

Star Luo’s commanders sat in their military tents, full of arrogance.

"They are just a bunch of cultists relying on civilian Spirit Masters to put up a front."

"Order the border to simply strengthen precautions."

"The most critical thing right now is the struggle for the imperial heir!"

The underestimation of the enemy by the two Empires’ higher-ups gave Spirit Hall the most perfect strategic development period.

As for the Upper Three Sects that were once able to keep Spirit Hall in check?

They had become even more of a joke.

Even green grass had grown on the ruins of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The former number one Beast Martial SoulClan in the world had fallen into the dust of history.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was deeply bound to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

Ning Fengzhi was deeply trapped in the political vortex of Emperor Xue Ye’s serious illness and the struggle for the imperial heir. Running about in exhaustion, he simply couldn’t spare a hand to unite external forces.

Clear Sky Sect?

That group of reckless men brandishing the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world,

still locked their mountain gates, hid deep in the mountains and forests refusing to open the sect, acting like cowards hiding their heads.

With the world in chaos, not a single person could take the lead in keeping Spirit Hall’s ambition in check.

All conditions were now ripe!

...

Wuhun City, Pope’s Palace Square.

Today’s sunlight was exceptionally dazzling.

Below the square,

it was densely packed with Spirit Master legions wearing heavy armor.

Sabers and spears were like a forest, and the military formation was stern.

Draped in an extremely gorgeous purple-gold Pope robe and wearing the Nine-Curve Purple-Gold Crown, Bibi Dong walked step by step onto the terrace at the very top of the Pope’s Palace.

The whole place was dead silent.

The fervent gazes of one hundred thousand Spirit Masters converged on this peerlessly beautiful woman.

Bibi Dong looked down at the following, overlooking this majestic city belonging to her, and even the vast and boundless Douluo Continent at the end of her vision.

She slowly raised the scepter in her hand, pointing straight at the firmament.

"The corrupt old system will eventually be destroyed."

"I, Bibi Dong, in the name of Spirit Hall’s supreme commander, hereby declare—"

Wrapped in thick Soul Power, her high-pitched, majestic, and unquestionable voice spread throughout the entire Wuhun City,

and would certainly shock the entire world through the intelligence network in the shortest possible time.

"The Martial Soul Empire is established today!"
