Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Having already suffered severe injuries from breaking through the beast tide, Du Weilun fainted as if he had exhausted his last bit of strength after saying those words.

"Dragon Girl, take him down for treatment."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The Dragon Girl released a gentle burst of soul power, softly supporting Du Weilun as he searched for the healing-type soul master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Qiu Xi, did the beast tide start because of you?"

Although Ning Fengya was asking a question, her tone was one of absolute certainty.

"When a soul beast's destiny leaves its body, the Star Dou Great Forest will sense it," Ling Qiuxi said with a grim expression. "That's why Uncle Di Tian, ​​in his rage, led the Star Dou soul beasts to attack Shrek Academy."

Although Ling Qiuxi disliked Shrek Academy, Shrek did indeed suffer an undeserved disaster, taking the blame for the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San...

That said, this isn't the first time Shrek Academy has been unfairly blamed. Back then, when the Body Sect hunted down seven 100,000-year-old soul beasts, Di Tian ordered an attack on Shrek City. Now that the soul beasts' fates are lost, Di Tian is still launching a full-scale attack on Shrek City...

The two beast tides vividly illustrate two things: first, Di Tian is a single-minded dragon, relentlessly targeting Shrek Academy; second, Shrek Academy holds a prestigious position in the soul master world, so much so that even soul beasts know to target those of high moral standing first.

"In the battle against the Clear Sky Sect, the two newly established Soul Master Corps were smashed to pieces by the Clear Sky Hammer. Only Xiaobai and I remained as Title Douluos; the others were all injured by the power of the Clear Sky Hammer."

Ning Fengya rubbed her temples: "The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing but unable to send a large number of people to support Shrek Academy..."

"Aunt Ya, this war was started by Tang San. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Star Dou Great Forest, and Shrek Academy are all victims. Fortunately, Tang Wutong did not successfully return to the God Realm, otherwise humanity would have had even more difficulty in defending itself."

The wounded from the sect will continue to heal and rest. The Bone Dragon King will guard the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Qiu Xi and I will handle the Starry Sky Beast Tide.

After being stripped of his destiny, Ling Bai guessed that Di Tian would most likely unleash a beast tide. However, looking beyond the surface, he realized that the fate of the soul beasts was actually just a fuse, the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Behind the war lies the fundamental conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. Soul Masters need to absorb Soul Rings to break through, and Soul Rings come from Soul Beasts, which means that Soul Masters advance by stepping on the lives of Soul Beasts.

The Beast God Di Tian had long wanted to find an opportunity to kill the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent, and the fate of the Soul Beasts gave him an excellent excuse.

Even if Ling Bai went to Shrek Academy to tell the Star Dou Beast the truth immediately, it wouldn't make Di Tian retreat. In fact, it might even further provoke Di Tian's anger, since Shrek Academy still worships Tang San, and the Sea God Pavilion and Sea God Island are irrefutable evidence.

Ling Bai did not want to use violent means to stop the beast tide, as that would exacerbate the conflict between the two races, hinder his plan to harvest faith, and play right into Tang San's hands.

The key is to let Di Tian see that Ling Qiuxi is unharmed, and that the fate of soul beasts will always belong to them. First, stop Di Tian from using the excuse of avenging the Emperor Beast, and then discuss the future of soul beasts with him.

……

Shrek City, South Gate.

Since its founding, the most heavily fortified part of Shrek Academy has always been the South City, because the south faces the Star Dou Great Forest. At this time, the area outside the South City is a mess, with large craters, blood of various colors of soul beasts, and devastation everywhere.

Dark clouds rolled in again, and the oppressive atmosphere from the sky made people feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

On the city wall, the Shrek City Defense Army was busy at work, arranging various soul tools in a tight and orderly manner. The Shrek army had a total of 10,000 men, 30% of whom were soul masters, most of whom came from the outer academy of Shrek. They gritted their teeth and endured their injuries to carry out their mission.

In the distance, a dark, dense army of soul beasts approached Shrek City, advancing in a fan shape, almost in sync with the dark clouds in the sky. A gentle breeze carried the pungent, fishy stench of the soul beasts to Shrek City.

The elders, teachers, and students from both inner and outer academies of Shrek Academy were divided into four groups to guard the four city gates.

Ma Xiaotao, the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master, Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard, Han Ruoruo, the Golden Fairy, Wu Ming, the Golden Crow Saintess, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi... Half of the Shrek Academy's elites gathered at the South Gate.

Time Douluo Shi Xing placed his hands on the battlements, gazing into the distance with a bitter expression on his face: "Phoenix Douluo, nearly 60% of the Shrek City defense forces have been killed or wounded. With our remaining defensive forces, there is almost no chance of defending Shrek City."

Time has passed, and Ma Xiaotao has broken through level 90 to become a Phoenix Douluo. She has absorbed the ninth soul ring of the 100,000-year-old Phoenix Sunflower and is about to become the fourth Sea God Pavilion Master with the ultimate attribute in the history of Shrek Academy.

Just as Shrek Academy was filled with joy, the beast tide broke out without warning. The Emperor Beast, protected by the Black Dragon's Reverse Scale, was ambushed by the God Realm. Emperor Tian's anger was more violent than ever before, and the Star Dou Ferocious Beasts launched a full-scale attack, putting immense pressure on Shrek Academy.

When the Beast God Di Tian descended in his true form, Xuan Lao, the level 97 Taotie Douluo, was naturally no match for him. Mu Lao, whose soul had merged with the Golden Tree, was forced to take action and activate the Taotie bloodline within the Taotie Divine Ox. Mu Lao and Xuan Lao joined forces and used the power of the Golden Tree to temporarily seal Di Tian.

Elder Xuan sacrificed himself to seal the Beast God Di Tian, ​​and Elder Song, the Azure Shadow Douluo, died in battle at Mingdu West Mountain. The highest-ranking cultivator at Shrek Academy became Elder Lin, a level 97 Title Douluo. The enemy he faced was the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear King, the sixth most ferocious beast on the continent, the Bear Lord.

Lin Lao was old and her fighting ability was far inferior to that of the two elders, Xuan and Song. She was no match for the violent and fierce Xiong Jun and could not last even a quarter of an hour. A dark gold claw almost tore her apart.

Subsequently, Xiong Jun transformed into a killing machine on the battlefield, leaving blood and flesh flying wherever he went. The level 6 Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon was like a tickle to him.

The two deans of the Soul Guidance Department, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, joined forces to attack. One was seriously injured and the other's martial soul was shattered. In the end, Mingfeng Douluo Yan Shaozhe burned his Bright Phoenix bloodline to barely repel Xiong Jun.

"We must hold on, even if we can't, because behind us are millions of civilians in Shrek City!"

Those golden-red phoenix eyes were unwavering. Under the baptism of war, Ma Xiaotao had grown a lot. The volatile inner courtyard volcano seemed to have gained a sense of calm, and she shouldered the responsibility of being the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master.

"Time Douluo, have the reinforcements arrived yet?"

Han Ruoruo stood beside Ma Xiaotao. An hour ago, Ma Xiaotao broke through to level 90 and was only one ninth spirit ring away from becoming a Title Douluo.

Shi Xing smiled wryly and said, "Director Du led his men out of the encirclement and sought help from the royal families of the three great empires and various sects."

The majority of the Imperial army was stationed on the border defending the Sun Moon Empire, and their marching speed was not fast enough. Only top-tier Title Douluos were capable of quickly reaching Shrek City.

Han Ruoruo pursed her red lips, hesitating several times as if she wanted to speak, but Ma Xiaotao spoke her mind without hesitation:

"Did the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School go there?"

"Nine Treasures City isn't far from Shrek City; it's much closer than Star Luo City and Spirit Fighting City. Shrek City's first target for reinforcements is Saint Evil Douluo and Jianmu Douluo. With the assistance of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect Master, they will have the power to turn the tide," Shi Xing said.

"However, according to rumors from the Soul Masters who returned from Sunrise City, Saint Evil Douluo went to Dragon City with the mother and daughter from the Earthly Dragon Gate, so he might not be able to receive the news in time..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's beautiful face instantly darkened, while Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and the others who were eavesdropping nearby sighed helplessly.

Although their relationship with Ling Bai wasn't exactly friendly, with his level 97 ultimate attribute twin martial souls and yin-yang complementary dual soul cores, the Holy Evil Douluo undoubtedly possessed the combat power of the strongest person on the continent. For a moment, they fantasized that Ling Bai was still a Shrek Academy student.

"roar--"

A desolate howl interrupted their conversation. Outside Shrek City, upon hearing the howl, the spirit beasts launched a full-scale attack like a tsunami. Their spirit skill lights shone, carrying an aura of madness, as they charged towards Shrek City from four directions.

"Shrek, Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon!"

Time Douluo roared, and the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon frantically spat out cannonballs. This was a war that could not be lost no matter what. Defeat meant death. Only by defeating the soul beasts and protecting Shrek City could they survive.

One after another, white and yellow spirit rings rose up, and the sheer number of spirit rings clearly showed how many spirit beasts had been killed or injured in that single volley.

Outside the East City, a figure slowly rose into the air. On its three enormous heads, the crimson-gold fur stood on end. It was the eighth most ferocious beast on the continent, the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, Crimson King!

In the two northwestern cities, the ninth ferocious beast, Zi Ji, and the tenth ferocious beast, Yao Ling, led their respective armies of soul beasts to attack the cities. In the southern city, which had the most imposing presence, three figures broke through the air.

The giant bear, over fifteen meters tall, grinned menacingly. Its body was covered with a thick layer of dark golden fur, and its shoulders were bulging with massive muscles like small hills. The cold glint of its dark golden claws was so sharp it hurt one's eyes.

"King Bear, it's King Bear!"

Someone screamed in terror.

Di Tian was sealed by Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, and did not reveal his strength. Xiong Jun's terror terrified all the Shrek City defense forces. He single-handedly defeated four members of the Sea God Pavilion, and Elder Lin and the three deans were still unable to get up in the Sea God Pavilion!

"Hey, these humans are terrified."

Xiong Jun rubbed his paws together, his dark golden claws emitting a sharp, piercing sound, which drew a disapproving glance from Bi Ji, who was dressed in a light green dress beside him. Bi Ji's voice was slightly cold as she said:

"Human weapons are extraordinary. We can't afford any more casualties among the soul beasts. Bear King, you lead the charge. Demon King, you act according to the situation."

Bi Ji held a special position in the Star Dou Great Forest. Xiong Jun and Wan Yao Wang were unwilling to offend her. Xiong Jun, with his steel-like dark gold fur, ignored all soul-guided cannons and soul-guided rays and strode towards the south city wall.

The Demon King shot out thousands of branches, providing ladders for the soul beasts to climb the city wall. Bi Ji opened her snow-white arms, as tender as lotus roots, and layers of emerald green light healed the wounds on the soul beasts' bodies.

With Brigitte's healing aid, Bear King advanced recklessly. With a single swipe of his claw, the southern wall of Shrek immediately began to crumble, and the Shrek defenders trembled with fear at the sight of Bear King so close at hand.

"I'll stop Bear King!"

The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower burst forth with a 100,000-year-old external soul bone, the Phoenix Wing. After Ma Xiaotao absorbed the soul ring and soul bone, her soul power soared to level 93. The Fire Phoenix is ​​the ultimate fire, making her even more powerful than an ordinary Super Douluo!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red!

The seventh and ninth blood-red soul rings shone brightly, followed by the external soul bones Phoenix Wings and the 100,000-year-old Holy Sun Heavenly Spirit Tiger torso soul bone, and four 100,000-year-old soul skills erupted simultaneously!

"唳——"

The phoenix soars nine thousand miles, piercing through the clouds and rainbows, carrying the heavens on its back, its feet stirring up the floating clouds, and soaring above the vast darkness!

Combined Soul Skill, Phoenix Cries Through the Nine Heavens!

The phoenix spreads its wings and soars high, its whole body radiating blazing flames, like a burning sun illuminating the sky and igniting the earth!

"Good thing they came! More interesting than that Radiant Phoenix!"

Xiong Jun stared at the reckless fire phoenix, who instead of retreating, advanced, crossed his arms, and ten dark golden claw shadows tore through space!

Sky-Tearing Claw, Xiong Jun's most prized soul skill, is said to have once injured Di Tian!

"A brute..."

The Demon King curled its lip. It had always looked down on Xiong Jun, who was all brawn and no brains. After sending the soul beasts to the city wall with its branches, it began its own operation. Its demonic eyes shot beams of light specifically at the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and other soul guides, keeping Shi Xing and the others busy intercepting them and unable to deal with the surging tide of soul beasts.

Suddenly, a deep dragon roar, like a raging torrent, erupted from the seal in the sky, unleashing a powerful force.

The pitch-black clouds churned violently, and a colossal dragon of indeterminate size broke free of its seal. Its body was covered in jet-black scales, and its golden dragon eyes burned with majesty.

Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​break the seal!

Old Mu's soul was almost transparent. Looking at the devastated Shrek City, his heart was breaking. Before his death, he vaguely sensed that Shrek was about to suffer a catastrophe. He never expected it to be the Star Beast Tide. He tried his best, but he couldn't stop Shrek City from being destroyed.

Di Tian whipped Xuan Lao away with his tail, his voice booming like thunder: "My people, raze Shrek Academy to the ground!"

Shrek City is facing an unprecedented crisis. War, ferocious beasts, and blood intertwine to create an apocalyptic picture. A gloomy atmosphere of despair hangs over everyone. Elder Mu is helpless. The Shrek City defense forces are gradually being devoured by soul beasts. The Beast God Di Tian releases extreme darkness to cover the sky. At this moment, the city seems so small and helpless.

Just when everyone thought hope was lost and darkness was about to descend forever, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky. A dazzling light pierced through the thick clouds and descended upon the city on the verge of destruction. The people looked up at the source of the light, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

As the light spread, a figure slowly appeared, with eight pure white wings growing from its back, each flap accompanied by sacred and solemn music.

The angel's face was not clearly visible, but the warmth and light emanating from him brought a sense of inexplicable peace to everyone's hearts. The angel was silent, yet his words were more powerful than any language. The desperate citizens of Shrek City knelt down and prayed devoutly, tears and hope mingling on their faces.

"The White Angel, the White Angel of Mingdu West Mountain..."

Having experienced the Battle of Xishan, Huo Yuhao recognized that the Angel of Destiny had truly descended to earth!

The eight angel wings behind the Angel of Destiny spread out, and white feathers swirled with light waves, constantly expanding outward. In an instant, they transformed into magnificent wings of light with a wingspan of over a hundred meters, erecting a wall of destiny between Shrek City and the Star Dou Beast Tide!

The End - Guardians of Fate!
