Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

……

Inside the Bright Pavilion, two murky scarlet beams suddenly lit up.

The two red lights seemed to have been awakened from a long slumber by something. At first, they were just two faint dark red dots of light, but after a few breaths, they gradually stabilized and turned into a pair of eyes.

Those eyes were terribly cloudy, the boundary between the pupil and the iris was already blurred, but deep within the turbidity, something indescribable was slowly awakening.

It felt like I had a very, very long dream.

That dream contained many people: Uncle Mu En's hearty laughter, the ringing bells of victory in the grand competition when he was young, and the blood-red sky of the beast tide battlefield a hundred years ago.

Images flashed through my mind frame by frame; some were so blurry that the details were indistinguishable, while others were so clear that they seemed to have happened just yesterday.

Xuanzi opened his eyes completely.

He walked out of the Sea God Pavilion's underground world in a daze. The soul-guiding lamps on both sides of the corridor were still lit. As he passed Elder Cui, he saw a look of astonishment on his face, but he ignored it.

The deafening shouts of battle and the roars of soul beasts outside seemed to be separated by an extremely thick film of water, and by the time they reached his ears, they had become a blurry buzzing sound.

He simply walked straight through the front hall of the Sea God Pavilion, out the main gate, and followed the fallen leaves and stone steps to the golden tree.

Countless golden leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if they were softly singing an ancient ballad.

Xuanzi stood under the tree, looking up at its massive canopy. His body was hunched over, making him appear so small and so old.

As if suddenly remembering something, Xuanzi burst into tears.

His lips trembled violently, making "hoarse" sounds, and he knelt down.

……

South City Wall.

"Sect Master!"

"Old Song!"

Seeing the two figures plummeting rapidly through the air, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were all shocked. Upon their first collision, Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song were actually defeated by Di Tian!

Chapter 379 The Gluttonous Beast Appears in the World and a Letter Sent to the Stars

With a muffled groan, the Radiant Phoenix and the Azure Shadow Eagle, their bodies crackling with purple lightning, plummeted from the sky. On their foreheads, each bore a strange orb of light, its center jet black and surrounded by swirling purple light.

The ball of light was only the size of a fist, yet it exuded a suffocating pressure, turning both of their eyes into the same eerie purple.

Di Tian didn't even use the advanced technique of Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores. He simply relied on his pure, ultimate dark attribute and peak Limit Douluo cultivation to absolutely crush Shrek Academy's two pillars.

How long has it been since the start of the war? Not even a quarter of an hour.

Di Tian's attack was unlike that of a human Limit Douluo, who was slow and hesitant. With the physical talent of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, it was able to ignore most of Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song's attacks. Its dragon scales, which were far stronger than any rare metal, combined with the dragon's unique mental stability, made it impossible for ordinary Super Douluo to break through its defenses.

Simply put, even in its normal state, the true form of the Black Dragon King with the Golden Eyes of the Emperor possesses the defensive capabilities of a top-tier defensive Limit Douluo, making him incredibly tanky while also dealing ridiculously high damage.

Yan Shaozhe and Old Song, one a powerful attacker and the other a nimble attacker, tried to fight it head-on, but they couldn't even break its defense...

And what about Di Tian? Unless it's an opponent of similar cultivation level, all it needs to do is charge, charge!

But in the world today, who can rival the Beast God Emperor Tian?

Xian Lin'er leaped into the air, and the figure of the giant blue dragon soared into the sky from the city wall, heading to meet Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song.

However, in mid-air, Di Tian, ​​who had appeared, was coldly looking down at all of this, his eyes clearly showing a hint of disdain.

Was it only a slight move that was already the limit of the Sea God Pavilion?

Class of '97?

Haha, the assessment is: not as good as Xuanzi.

Despite having gained a significant advantage, Di Tian, ​​having lived for 700,000 years, knew the principle of a lion hunting a rabbit. It gave Shrek's side no chance to breathe. Its dragon body suddenly shrank to a wingspan of only about ten meters, its entire body as black as ink, and its pair of dragon wings spread open.

The next moment, its entire body transformed into a deep purple meteor, shooting down after Yan Shaozhe and Old Song's falling bodies.

Compared to Xian Lin'er, she actually surpassed her despite starting later!

Judging from its appearance, it clearly intended to take this opportunity to kill the two of them, leaving Shrek Academy no chance to recover.

On the city wall, everyone's breath seemed to stop for a moment.

They all knew that Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song were no match for Di Tian, ​​but no one expected that they would only last for such a short time.

The army of soul beasts below had barely reached the city walls when they were already defeated.

No matter how strong Shrek City's defense forces are, they cannot withstand such an offensive when the world's most ferocious beast attacks from the air. Once Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song are killed, Shrek Academy's high-end combat power will collapse instantly. At that time, Di Tian will be able to come and go freely on the city wall, and no one will be able to stop him.

Everyone's heart sank.

Soul beasts are not human, so they naturally do not abide by the rule that titled Douluo among humans do not directly participate in wars.

If the Beast God Di Tian were allowed to act freely, it would probably take him only a short time to completely destroy Shrek City!

Is Shrek Academy about to be crushed within a quarter of an hour?

That's terrible.

The sheer number of young trainees—well, far fewer than before—immediately evoked a profound sense of indignation and resentment.

Just before the purplish-black meteor that Di Tian had transformed into was about to catch up with Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song's falling bodies, an aged voice, like a thunderclap, resounded from the east of Shrek City:

"Di Tian, ​​don't go too far!"

……

Xuanzi stood beneath the golden tree, his clothes tattered. His long robe, which hadn't been washed in who knows how long, was covered in stains and wrinkles, but his eyes were incredibly bright, devoid of their former turbidity.

He slowly and solemnly smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, then respectfully kowtowed to the golden tree, his forehead making a dull thud as it touched the ground.

"Elder Mu, Xuanzi knows that you blame me for making the academy like this, which is why you don't want to see me. But now that the academy is in trouble, please show your power and protect it."

He kowtowed heavily, once, twice, three times.

For a long time, the golden tree remained silent. The golden aura continued to flow dimly, showing no signs of strengthening, nor any response emanating from the depths of the trunk.

Xuanzi was overcome with tears. He slowly stood up, his once hunched back now straight as a board.

"Master Mu, your nephew has gone."

With his eyes closed, an ancient and timeless aura slowly emanated from Xuanzi's body.

A deep dragon roar followed, and at the same time, a layer of pale yellow flames rose up around his body.

On the golden tree, faint golden light spots fell, and the original earthly yellow gradually turned into a bright gold.

The earth and light attributes were perfectly integrated, and the golden flames around Xuanzi burned brighter and brighter.

Xuanzi roared in grief and anger, and his body suddenly transformed into a huge bull-shaped light and shadow that fluctuated violently. He stood on a yellow auspicious cloud and rose up from the ground!

……

"Di Tian, ​​don't go too far!"

A golden light suddenly rose from the east of Shrek City, surged into the air and swelled with the wind, engulfing Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song in the blink of an eye. Then, it continued forward without stopping, colliding fiercely with the purplish-black meteor that Di Tian had transformed into!

"Boom—" A violent roar resounded through the sky.

From within the brilliant golden light, a deafening roar erupted once more. With the roar, yellow clouds parted beneath the massive golden figure, forcefully supporting the scattered golden light and gradually stabilizing the blurry figure, revealing the form of the creature within.

A colossal beast that no one had ever seen before.

It has the body of a sheep, the face of a human, tiger teeth, and human claws. There is a huge eye under each armpit. The face is slender. The spiral horns on its head no longer stand straight up to the sky, but are curved into the shape of deer antlers. The head has become extremely huge, especially the mouth, which is unusually large. It is slightly open, revealing tiger teeth that are like sharp swords.

Within his slightly open maw, Yan Shaozhe and Old Man Song were still somewhat bewildered, but the purplish-black orb above their heads had already vanished.

This is……

"Taotie! No, Xuanzi? You actually burned your life force to force a breakthrough and used the Light of the Sea God?"

Di Tian's figure appeared in the golden light, hovering steadily in the air. His golden vertical pupils stared intently at the giant beast with the body of a goat and the face of a human, his pupils filled with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

It certainly recognized the essence of this golden light. A hundred years ago, Moon used the same method to suppress its extreme darkness.

Yes. Shrek Academy's ultimate weapon, besides the energy stored in the Golden Tree, is the Sea God's Light left behind by Tang San before his ascension.

However, the conditions for using the Light of the Sea God are extremely demanding—if the divinity of the Sea God descends to lower the requirements, it must be activated by a powerful individual with light or water attributes and extremely high cultivation.

Therefore, Yan Shaozhe, who possesses the attribute of light, is undoubtedly the next successor to the Pavilion Master.

The cultivation level requirement here is level 98.

A hundred years ago, before Mu En gained any insights after fighting Du Bisi and broke through to the Limit Douluo level with the power of the Dragon Pill, he suppressed Di Tian's ultimate darkness with the huge amplification of attributes by the Light of the Sea God. With a cultivation level of ninety-eight, he was only slightly inferior to Di Tian and successfully stopped the advance of the beast tide, holding out until the arrival of strong reinforcements such as the Body Sect.

Xuanzi's Taotie Divine Ox Martial Soul is not of the Light attribute, but of the Earth attribute. However, when he ignites his life force, fully burns his Taotie Divine Ox bloodline, and frantically stimulates that trace of Taotie bloodline, everything changes.

Taotie controls the power of light and earth.

Xuanzi, who was in a state of burning soul power and life force, had already surpassed the limitations of his cultivation and briefly became a Limit Douluo.

A chilling golden light gradually appeared in Di Tian's eyes.

Those familiar with its spirit beasts know that the Beast God in this state is absolutely terrifying, signifying that it has already decided to kill.

Not only because of the light of the sea god, but also because at this moment, Xuanzi is no longer the Taotie Divine Ox, but the fifth son of the nine sons of the Dragon God, Taotie!

This was also the biggest trump card that Moon left for Shrek Academy.

A hundred years ago, after Mu En was defeated by the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, ​​he had given this matter much thought.

Given that Di Tian's strength is still above that of a Limit Douluo, and he has already stepped into the realm of demigods, what method can be used to restrain him?

There is only one way, and that is to start with his bloodline.

Legend has it that the Dragon God split into two, becoming the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, who respectively inherited the physical power and spiritual power of the Dragon God.

Before the Dragon God split, he had nine sons, all of whom inherited some of the Dragon God's abilities and bloodline.

Among them, some are the ancestors of earth dragons, some are the heads of flying dragons, some have entered the abyss, and some are sleeping in volcanoes.

After the nine sons died one after another, their bloodlines were passed down in parts to later generations.

Even though Di Tian's bloodline is incredibly powerful, as the king of the Black Dragon lineage, ordinary gold and silver dragons are only on par with him.

But he is, after all, a member of the dragon race.

Among the dragons, those whose bloodlines surpass his include the two great dragon kings, the gold and the silver, as well as the nine sons of the dragon, totaling eleven.

Xuanzi's martial soul, the Taotie Divine Ox, contains a portion of the bloodline of Taotie, the fifth son of the Dragon God. However, this bloodline is not complete. Although it is already very strong, it is still much weaker than Di Tian's.
