Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Yu Nanjue's expression changed drastically.

Although he didn't use his strongest soul skill in that attack for the sake of speed, but only his left arm soul bone skill combined with his fifth soul skill, in a sense, it could be said to be his strongest attack.

He lacked talent in his early years, only breaking through to level 50 at the age of twenty-five. It was this fifth spirit ring from the ten-thousand-year-old super spirit beast, the Thunderous Vulture, and the perfectly matching left arm bone that played a transformative role in his marrow cleansing and spirit tempering, greatly improving his physique and understanding of thunder power, which led to his current achievements.

This final, furious attack is an all-out, instantaneous strike. Is this powerful offensive, imbued with the force of thunder, truly something that this young man, whose soul power fluctuations are at most level eighty, can withstand head-on?

Feeling the coiled scales on the dragon's claws and the lingering terrifying heat, Yu Nanjue immediately understood the origin of the other party.

The ultimate fire, the Phoenix. Four thousand years ago, that terrifying martial spirit that dominated the continent.

"You're from the Ma family! Hmph, no matter who you are, if you dare to protect an evil soul master, you'll be killed without hesitation!"

Yu Nanjue's voice was deep and menacing.

The person who arrived was Ma Xiaotao.

She had experienced her way here and witnessed the entire conflict firsthand.

Originally, the two were fighting for the sake of evil martial arts soul masters, and she did not intend to intervene. However, Yu Nanjue disregarded the common people and attacked recklessly, so she could not remain indifferent.

Moreover, at level 80, she was already equivalent to a titled Douluo with considerable cultivation. Together with the eight-ringed old man surnamed Yin, who possessed a divine aura and could also be considered a titled Douluo, they could completely compete with this top titled Douluo below the level of a Super Douluo.

At this moment, her fiery temper was completely ignited. Aside from Kong Tianxu himself, who dared to boss her around?

"Yu Nanjue, you are unworthy of your title!" Her voice was clear and sharp. "With so many commoners here, why are you making such a fuss? What's wrong with you?"

"Even if the Evil Fire Phoenix evolves into a Fire Phoenix, it still cannot escape the word 'evil.' You bunch of evil soul masters are all birds of a feather!"

Yu Nanjue sneered, and lightning surged around him, clearly indicating that he had made up his mind not to hold back anymore!

Ma Xiaotao's palms were slightly sweaty.

No one noticed that the snow had gotten slightly colder at that moment.

It felt like something gently pressed against his eardrum, and at the same time, a voice rang in Yu Nanjue's ears:

"Who are you calling an evil spirit master?"

A purple-gold radiance burst forth from the void!

Chapter 361 Yan Shaozhe: Grandpa! Long Xiaoyao: Hysteria!

Light surged forth from all directions, from the sky and the ground, from the past and the future, as if someone had torn a hole in the sky, allowing the light of another world to pour down, filling the sky with that cold and sacred color.

Ma Xiaotao put away the phoenix flames, a slight smile playing on her lips. Yin Baifa also lowered his guard, a look of realization appearing in his eyes.

The radiance spread across the long street, as if someone had crushed a piece of the starry sky and scattered it on the snow. Wherever it passed, the aftershocks of thunder and flames in the air were gently smoothed out by an invisible hand, sinking into silence layer by layer.

Yu Nanjue was shocked to discover that the boy he had identified as an evil spirit master was undergoing an astonishing transformation right before everyone's eyes.

Holy light poured into the boy's head, enveloping his entire body. Faint golden patterns appeared on the pale gray bones of the skeleton, and the eerie green flames flickered in the eye sockets, turning into a warm and bright pale gold. Even the bones were deforming, gradually becoming slender and elegant, like a carefully sculpted sacred object.

A skull, exuding an aura of holiness, floated silently behind the boy.

He raised his head, the fear on his face had vanished without him noticing, replaced by a bewildered yet pure awe.

He looked at the skeleton behind him, the one that had once led to his abandonment by his parents and the scorn of the world, now appearing so solemn in the holy light. He reached out and carefully touched the skeleton's finger bones; the golden flames in the skeleton's eye sockets flickered gently, as if in response.

At this moment, who would dare to call him an evil spirit master?

The surrounding crowd quieted down, their eyes revealing something hard to describe. Gradually, suppressed gasps of amazement rose up, and some people knelt down, beginning to whisper the name of the Holy Spirit Church.

"The Holy Church..."

I don't know who spoke first. A second voice rang out, then a third, then a fourth. More and more voices joined together.

"Holy Church! Holy Church!"

"Damn it, this is fake, fake!"

Yu Nanjue's face alternated between pale and flushed as he flew into a rage, unleashing his lightning in an attempt to drive away the ignorant masses who blindly believed in heresy.

Dark blue lightning erupted from his body, transforming into countless wildly dancing electric snakes that lashed out in all directions.

As he wished—and what horrified him even more was that with each burst of blue lightning, not only the crowds disappeared, but also the long street, the snow, and the ruthless knights…

The world is like a fragile painting, and he is the only character in the painting who is still trapped in the same place.

With each of his movements, large swathes of the scene would vanish, turning into a pure white void.

There was no sound, no smell, no temperature. Only his own heavy breathing sounded particularly jarring in this void.

As if suddenly realizing something, Yu Nanjue stopped moving, and his dragon body trembled.

The raging lightning around him instantly extinguished, and the dragon scales formed by his soul power melted away like ice and snow. A tremor traveled from his martial soul to his body, expressing his deepest fear.

What horrified him even more was that everyone around him seemed to have disappeared at that moment. He was forced to withdraw from his Martial Soul True Body state, and the dragon body formed by his soul power melted away like ice and snow. His Martial Soul trembled violently.

Since obtaining the soul bone of the Thunderous Vulture, Yu Nanjue felt so insignificant for the first time.

He turned around abruptly.

A giant dragon claw suddenly struck, closing in and lifting his body into the air!

Pressure surged from all directions, squeezing his bones and making cracking sounds.

Tentacle-like wings of light extended from behind the dragon's claws and pierced his brain. Amidst the violent trembling of his body, he saw only a pair of majestic, purple-gold vertical pupils.

His soul is reflected in its depths.

……

On the border of the Sun and Moon Empire, the night was as dark as ink.

The endless military camps lay silent in the darkness, broken only by the occasional cold light of a soul-guided detector flashing through the air.

Today is the day that the three major sects, together with Shrek Academy, plan to rescue the elites of various sects trapped in the Sun Moon Empire. Three groups of people have already met behind a low hill.

On one side was the Haotian Sect, which had sent a full five Title Douluos. The leader was a familiar face to both Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. He was a veteran powerhouse who had been stuck at level 94 for many years, with white hair and beard but still vigorous in spirit.

Shrek Academy went all out, going all out to wash away their negative image from the previous competition. They were extremely dedicated this time, practically deploying their entire force.

Seven Super Douluo, including Elder Song, Lin Huiqun, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and Elder Zhuang, arrived together, leaving only one Level 95 Super Douluo to oversee the academy.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was much weaker, but they did send a Title Douluo, an old man with a gaunt face but sharp eyes.

Only Yu Nanjue, representing the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan, was nowhere to be seen.

The Title Douluo from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School frowned. He was an impatient person, and after standing in the cold wind for half the night, he was starting to get irritated.

He glanced in the direction of Dragon City, then at the Shrek Seven Devils, and finally couldn't help but speak:

"It's fine that Yu Nanjue didn't come. The sect leader said that stubborn dragon wasn't very willing from the start, and we didn't really expect Tang Yunyue to persuade him anyway. Besides, it wouldn't make much difference whether he's here or not. But didn't the Gluttonous Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy come? If we get intelligence, there's a good chance that the Sun Moon Empire's border troops are guarded by that level 99 old dog, Long Xiaoyao. Without a level 98 super strong expert in charge, if the secret agents fail, I'm afraid we won't be able to accomplish anything."

When Long Xiaoyao's name was mentioned, the expressions of the people present changed slightly.

Dragon Emperor Douluo, Level 99 Limit Douluo, Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul. Just these three titles combined are enough to make most people present hesitate.

Yan Shaozhe's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"Elder Xuan is in seclusion breaking through to the next level and it is inconvenient for him to come."

"As for His Majesty the Dragon Emperor... don't worry, I have my own ways to prevent His Majesty the Dragon Emperor from attacking us."

As he said this, he stared intently at the night sky above him.

It was only then that everyone realized that even in the dead of night, the sky seemed excessively dark.

Yan Shaozhe didn't say anything more, but simply looked away.

Seeing that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School seemed dissatisfied, the white-haired old man from the Clear Sky School replied with great certainty:

"But Elder Yunyue said that Sect Master Yu will definitely come."

The other titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect nodded, showing no sign of worry.

As expected. Just moments after he finished speaking, Yu Nanjue's imposing figure appeared behind everyone.

He walked over silently, his expression a little strange, but he quickly returned to normal, nodding to everyone as a greeting.

No one noticed the strange glint that flashed in his eyes.

"The main force is all here, is everything alright over there?"

Without any pleasantries, Yu Nanjue went straight to the point and asked.

However, in such a tense moment, naturally no one would dwell on matters of etiquette.

As for the "over there" that Yu Nanjue mentioned, it refers to the other side of this plan, the surprise force composed of young people from the three upper sects and Shrek Academy.

Sunrise City is heavily guarded, and a direct assault would be difficult to achieve. Therefore, Yan Shaozhe proposed a two-pronged strategy: on the front, his group of highly destructive titled experts would harass the border of the Sun Moon Empire, but this was only to draw attention. The real rescue mission would be carried out by that "surprise force"—rescue only, without fighting, which was a risky move.

Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly, with a hint of arrogance.

"It's alright. If you all saw the strength of this generation of Shrek's little monsters, you would definitely be astonished."

The elder leading the Haotian Sect stroked his beard and smiled, "Sect Master Yu, rest assured, the backup plan has been set up over there, there will be no problem."

"A backup plan?" Yu Nanjue seemed to have become a curious child tonight.

The titled Douluo from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School stepped forward and whispered a few words in Yu Nanjue's ear.

Yu Nanjue listened, nodding repeatedly, a strange light flashing in his eyes, as if he had grasped something:

"No wonder. So as long as we make a big enough scene here, he won't be in too much danger, right? Then what are we waiting for!"

Having said that, Yu Nanjue took a step out of the void, his figure floating forward, and he had already entered the airspace of the Sun and Moon Empire ahead. He pressed his hands in the air towards the distant high-altitude probe, and a strong blue-purple light burst out from his body.

Instantly, the entire sky lit up, and an unparalleled aura burst forth from him, with thunder surging and dragon roars shaking the heavens. Stimulated by the intense thunder, the high-altitude detection soul guides all exploded violently, as the immense energy intensity of the detected objects affected them all.

However, the Sun Moon Empire, as expected of the strongest nation on the continent, launched a counterattack in an instant.

Clusters of intense light rose continuously from below, bombarding the sky. These were all large-caliber soul-guided cannons, including some special soul-guided cannons with effects such as binding, paralysis, and shock.

Those capable of striking at this altitude must be at least level six or higher soul tools. For a moment, the entire sky was illuminated by those powerful lights, making it dazzling.

The intense light emitted by those soul-guided cannons spread like a death forest.

Seeing this, the others also used their own methods. The hammer shadows overlapped, and the five Haotian Hammers intertwined to create a dark shadow in the night sky. The elder of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School pointed his fingers like a sword and sent out sharp rays of light. The abilities of the elders of Shrek Academy were even more diverse.

However, their expressions were not relaxed at the moment.

It was only when they truly witnessed the power of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools on the battlefield that they understood how terrifying their opponent was. When the soul tool legion launched a full-scale attack relying on the soul tool positions, even these titled Douluo had to avoid the sharpness of the barrage of numerous soul tool cannons.

Unfortunately, the combined power of many ninth-ring experts was still too terrifying. In an instant, the light of soul power rose and fell along the border, and the situation tilted in a direction that was clearly unfavorable to the Sun Moon Empire.
