Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

"Bi Lin!" Hua Qinglian exclaimed in surprise, and immediately sent a beam of clear light into Ye Bi Lin's body. Although it did not have a healing effect, the amplification of soul power could alleviate Ye Bi Lin's condition to some extent.

"Haha! So this is all Emperor Ao Academy is made of!" Xiao Hongchen looked at the injured Ye Bilin, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes. "Faced with the firepower of soul tools, you traditional soul masters are ultimately just sitting ducks!"

"Shut up!" Jiang Peng roared, his eyes blazing with fury. "Today, I'll show you what true power is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Peng's spirit rings suddenly lit up, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body. "Sixth Spirit Skill—Earth-Shattering Strike, Mountain Collapse and Rock Split!"

The dark red blood light on the Heaven-Shaking Axe suddenly surged, transforming into a giant axe beam ten meters long, carrying a world-destroying momentum, and fiercely slashed towards Ma Rulong!

Faced with this earth-shattering strike, Ma Rulong's expression changed drastically. He knew that he absolutely could not withstand it head-on.

"Invincible Shield!" Ma Rulong used a level seven soul tool, the Invincible Shield, without hesitation!

"Buzz!" A golden light shield instantly enveloped Ma Rulong.

"Boom—!!!" The axe beam of the Heaven-Shaking Axe slammed into the invincible shield, producing a deafening roar.

The entire battle arena trembled, as if it might collapse at any moment. However, the invincible shield was ultimately just an invincible shield.

After enduring this terrifying blow, although its light dimmed considerably, it ultimately did not shatter.

Although Ma Rulong managed to defend against Jiang Peng's sixth soul skill, he was still thrown backward by the shock and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Captain!" the members of the Sun and Moon team exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't worry about me! Keep attacking!" Ma Rulong struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with madness. "If we can just hold out for this one minute, our soul-guided turrets will be fully charged! Then, it will be their death!"

Behind the Sun and Moon Squad, the assembled Soul Guidance Cannon turrets, with dozens of cannons densely packed on them, slowly rose, gleaming with a heart-stopping light.

"Qinglian, help me!" Ye Bilin said to Hua Qinglian.

Hua Qinglian nodded, and then all the azure light from the jade lotus in her hand instantly surged into Ye Bilin's body. The Bilin flower in Ye Bilin's hand instantly transformed into strands of azure chains, wrapping around the soul-guided cannon.

"Want to fire? Not so easy!" Ye Bilin said coldly. Green vines instantly wrapped tightly around the soul-guided turret and continued to corrode it.

"Now! All-out attack!" Jiang Peng roared, charging towards the Sun and Moon Team. Seeing this, the morale of the Imperial Academy members soared, and they launched a swift offensive.

Jiang Peng's Heaven-Shaking Axe, Shi Kun's Earth-Covering Shield, Wei Huang's Vajra Fist, Long Aotian's Heaven-Destroying Axe, Jin Ni's Golden Dragon Spear, and Ye Bilin's Azure Phosphorus Poison Meteorite—six terrifying forces converged together, transforming into an unparalleled torrent that surged fiercely towards the Sun and Moon Team.

The soul-guided turret was not yet fully charged, and Ma Rulong knew that conventional soul-guided devices could no longer stop the unstoppable tide of the Imperial Academy. At this moment, he made a crazy decision.

Ma Rulong bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto an ancient soul tool that quietly appeared behind him. It was his trump card—the level eight soul tool, "Chapter of Sacrifice"! With the frenzied sacrifice of his life force, his soul power surged instantly, forcibly breaking through the shackles of the Soul Emperor realm. Immediately afterward, a black and white greatsword appeared in his hand—a level eight melee soul tool—the Sword of Judgment!

"Awaken, Sword of Judgment! Judgment of Light and Darkness!" Ma Rulong roared, transforming into a fierce black and white streak of light that pierced straight into the core of the Imperial Academy camp.

Dark power frantically eroded the air along the sword's path, while the light attribute condensed into a destructive edge, aimed directly at Jiang Peng and Shi Kun!

"Watch out! This power is strange!" Shi Kun's pupils shrank sharply as he sensed an unprecedented and deadly crisis.

"Don't be afraid of him! Shi Kun, come with me!" Jiang Peng's eyes burned with fighting spirit, showing no sign of backing down.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Earth-Shattering Heaven and Earth-Reversing! Star Shift!" Shi Kun roared, and the Earth-Shattering Shield shone brightly with golden light, instantly transforming into a massive dark golden city wall that blocked the way. Jiang Peng leaped high into the air, his Heaven-Shaking Axe blazing with fierce flames, unleashing a variation of his strongest attack, the "Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes," fiercely slashing at the Sword of Judgment!

"boom--!!!"

With a deafening roar, Shi Kun's Earth-Covering Shield, corrupted by the darkness of the Sword of Judgment, instantly cracked and shattered completely with a "crack." The terrifying impact sent him flying backward, coughing up blood. Jiang Peng's Heaven-Shaking Axe also groaned under the power of the light of judgment, a huge gash appearing on its blade. He himself was corrupted by the dark power, half his body instantly paralyzed, and he crashed heavily to the ground. The two exchanged injuries, barely managing to block Ma Rulong's life-threatening attack!

Just as the battle on the front lines reached a stalemate, a crisis suddenly descended on the other side.

"Brother, now's the time!" Meng Hongchen shouted.

Xiao Hongchen's eyes sharpened, and he grabbed Meng Hongchen with both hands: "Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Love in the Mortal World!"

A golden and silver halo instantly spread, and Xiao Hongchen's three-legged golden toad and Meng Hongchen's vermilion-eyed ice toad merged perfectly, creating a huge toad that stood in the center of the Soul Battle Arena!

Countless glittering ice poisons and fire poisons materialized out of thin air, transforming into a destructive energy storm of interwoven ice, fire, poison, and metal. With the dual threat of physical penetration and neurotoxins, it roared toward the flank of the Imperial Academy, attempting to thwart their offensive in one fell swoop.

Faced with this sudden and powerful martial soul fusion skill, Long Aotian and Jin Ni exchanged a glance, both seeing a resolute determination in each other's eyes.

"Golden Neon, merge!" "Yes!"

Long Aotian's Heaven-Destroying Axe and Jin Ni's Golden Dragon Spear simultaneously pointed towards the sky, their dark red light intertwining with the dazzling golden light. Long Aotian's Martial God Body Martial Soul erupted in full force, resonating completely with Jin Ni's Golden Dragon Bloodline.

"Soul Fusion Skill - Golden Mad Dragon Martial God!"

With a deafening roar from Long Aotian and Jin Ni, two completely different forces collided violently in the void. In an instant, surging blood energy and extreme destructive power intertwined wildly, and a terrifying pressure originating from the ancient wilderness erupted from the two without warning, instantly sweeping across the entire Soul Arena!

"hold head high--!!!"

A loud, domineering, and supremely majestic dragon roar resounded in the center of the arena. The sound waves, solid as a tangible substance, caused ripples to appear around the protective shield of the Soul Arena, and even the air seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
