The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Conversely, Xu Zihuang and his group were already quite close to the main gate of Shrek Academy. They were most affected by this mental pressure. Tang Ya, in particular, lost consciousness and fell into a coma. The Blue Silver Grass spirit offered virtually no boost to physical attributes or mental strength. Many weapon spirit masters were like this; their physical attributes and mental strength were much weaker compared to beast spirit masters of the same level.

"Xiaoya!"

Although Beibei seemed to be in much better condition, his face had turned pale, and he quickly checked on Tang Ya. Fortunately, she was alright, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Ning Tian, ​​also a Soul Master, was able to resist the mental pressure thanks to Xu Zihuang's external spiritual power. He remained conscious, leaning against Xu Zihuang's chest and looking up at the sky outside Shrek Academy, following Xu Zihuang's gaze.

"Noumenon Sect?"

When the group of people revealed their figures in the pillar of light, she actually guessed their identities.

It should be noted that on the mainland, a sect that has a Title Douluo-level expert in charge is already considered a major sect known throughout the continent.

As times change, the cultivation system for Soul Masters becomes more and more complete, making it easier for Title Douluo-level powerhouses to emerge in this era. However, in reality, the number of Title Douluo on the continent has only just begun to move from double digits to triple digits.

The fact that twelve Title Douluos and more than twenty Soul Douluos were dispatched at once is something that, apart from Shrek Academy, only the royal families of the three great empires and the Body Sect could possess such resources on the original Douluo Continent.

The only sect that acts with such unbridled arrogance is the Body Sect, which stands alongside Shrek Academy.

Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was indeed ancient and profound, but she had to admit that in terms of top-tier combat power, it still lagged behind the Body Sect. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's strength lay more in its wealth and connections. After tens of thousands of years of development, even in seclusion, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School held a pivotal position on the continent.

Xu Zihuang, who had just released his spiritual power to block the pressure of Du Busi's spiritual power, also looked somewhat solemn. He originally thought that his spiritual power level was already very high, but now it seemed that compared with a top-level expert like Du Busi who had almost reached the limits of human strength, it was still insignificant.

Just then, a soft golden light drifted in, enveloping Xu Zihuang, Ning Tian, ​​and Bei Bei and Tang Ya beside them. The next instant, the golden light dissipated, and they vanished from the spot.

From the moment Du Bu Si uttered those words to the moment Xu Zi Huang and the other three disappeared from the spot, it was only a fleeting moment.

But in that brief moment, the Poison Undying's true form suddenly swelled, its body expanding more than tenfold in the blink of an eye. Its entire body bulged, transforming into dark green muscles resembling granite, with only a pair of shorts covering its vital parts. Those shorts were clearly specially made, otherwise they would have burst from its massive size.

The aura of the group of Body Sect experts behind him also surged instantly, completely suppressing the Shrek Academy experts.

Elder Xuan's face was ashen and gloomy. With a long howl, his body transformed into a monster over thirty meters long. It had the body of a goat, tiger teeth, human claws, eyes under its armpits, and a pair of enormous bull horns. It was even more imposing than the green giant that Poison Undying had transformed into. Intense yellow light burst forth from its body, and nine soul rings formed halos that hovered between its enormous bull horns, which were over five meters long.

This is Elder Xuan's martial soul, the Gluttonous Divine Ox, a mutated top-tier beast martial soul.

However, his soul ring configuration was only two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, which was far inferior to Poison Undying.

The Taotie Divine Ox, which was transformed from the Xuan Elder, snorted angrily.

"You're not going to die from poison? Are you really going to fight Shrek Academy to the death?"

Poison Undying rolled its dark green eyes upwards and laughed heartily.

"What, Xuanzi, are you scared? Since you're scared, send out that little brat from your academy who participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. All Soul Masters with a True Body Martial Soul are considered disciples of our sect. Don't you know that?"

"Bullshit, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Elder Xuan retorted coldly.

"You made all those nice words before, weren't you just trying to show off? Let me tell you this: if you dare to start a war with Shrek Academy, at least half of the people from the Body Sect who came here today will be left here, including you."

He knew perfectly well that the Body Sect wouldn't let Yu Tianhuang, who possessed the ability to awaken a second Gold-level Body Martial Soul, go, so he never intended to play dumb from the start. In the current situation, a battle between the two sides was inevitable. Strength was the only true measure of power.

But he absolutely did not believe that the Body Sect would risk everything to wage war against Shrek Academy. A battle of this magnitude would be enough to raze Shrek Academy, or even Shrek City, to the ground, and neither side could bear the consequences.

Poison Undying's eyes gleamed with green light, revealing its ferocious power.

"Xuanzi, do you really think I wouldn't dare to attack your Shrek Academy? What's wrong with disregarding everything for the sake of our sect's legacy?"

As Elder Xuan said, he was unwilling to easily start a war with Shrek Academy. However, Elder Xuan overlooked a very important point, which was the importance of Yu Tianhuang, who possessed the ability to awaken a second Gold-level Body Martial Soul at the Soul Sect level, to their Body Sect.

At the same time, Xu Zihuang and his three companions suddenly appeared out of thin air outside the Sea God Pavilion.

Holding the unconscious Tang Ya in his arms, Bei Bei and Xu Zihuang both remained calm, while Ning Tian glanced around at the situation without showing any particular surprise.

Given her status, she would naturally know of the Sea God Pavilion's existence. Their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy have a deep connection; their ancestor Ning Rongrong, ten thousand years ago, was one of the original Shrek Seven Devils.

Even after thousands of years of changes, the two have maintained a harmonious relationship.

"Beibei, take Tang Ya inside to rest." A gentle voice rang out, reaching the ears of the three.

Undoubtedly, the voice belonged to Elder Mu. Elder Mu was also the one who brought them to the Sea God Pavilion.

"Yes, Ancestor Xuan." Bei Bei responded excitedly and quickly carried Tang Ya into the Sea God Pavilion.

The Golden Tree possesses the aura of light and life, and Tang Ya possesses the plant-type martial soul Blue Silver Grass. Being able to enter the Golden Tree and be cleansed by the aura of light and life will greatly benefit her future cultivation.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise.

“Ancestor Xuan?” Ning Tian’s expression faltered slightly, then she seemed to realize something, and the emotion in her beautiful eyes turned to relief.

Old Master Mu's voice rang out again.

"Child, you should be able to see that the Body Sect has come for you this time. The second awakening of a Gold-level Body Martial Soul is a rare occurrence in the Body Sect's ten-thousand-year history. Moreover, you possess the unique advantage of twin Martial Souls, making it worthwhile for them to make this special trip. I won't hide it from you, the Body Sect has been researching Body Martial Souls for ten thousand years, and it can be said that no one in the world can match them. I believe that they must have a way to help you fully control the second awakening ability of your Gold-level Body Martial Soul."

"If you choose to leave, the academy will not blame you. If you choose to stay, the academy will do its utmost to cultivate you. In terms of cultivating your second martial soul, the academy should have a greater advantage. You need to give me an answer on your choice. Only then can we decide how to negotiate with the Body Sect."

Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, Xu Zihuang fell silent. Ning Tian couldn't help but glance at Xu Zihuang beside her; she was also eager to know what Yu Tianhuang's choice would be.

After a moment's thought, Xu Zihuang said in a deep voice.

"Elder Mu, I currently have no plans to join a sect; I wish to remain at the academy."

His words came entirely from his heart. Staying at Shrek Academy was more in his best interest at this stage. He didn't rule out contacting the Body Sect, but that would have to wait until Elder Mu died.

Now that he's following the Body Sect, he's truly lost his chance to obtain Elder Mu's Dragon Pill. Moreover, his Golden Eye Martial Soul has already completed its second awakening at the Gold level, so the Body Sect might not be able to teach him much more than Elder Mu and Shrek Academy.

"I see sincerity and openness in your eyes." Old Mu's voice became even gentler, with a hint of relief and determination.

But to Xu Zihuang, the complete version of Elder Mu's words should be: "This is the first time I have seen sincerity and openness in your eyes."

Chapter 213 Retreat

While Xu Zihuang and Elder Mu were talking, Elder Xuan and Poison Undying, who were in mid-air, had already started to make their move.

The deep yellow and the domineering dark green each occupied one side of the sky, and were rapidly extending in all directions, reaching at least a hundred miles away.

At the point where these two colors meet, a fierce battle erupts between Poison Immortal and Elder Xuan, causing the world to change color.

The dark green giant transformed from the Poison Immortal charged forward through the void, while the Taotie Divine Ox transformed from the Xuan Elder met it head-on without flinching.

With a deafening roar, the two collided.

In that instant, all the powerful figures who were suspended in the air, whether from Shrek Academy or the Body Sect, quickly descended.

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, as if space itself had collapsed. The pressure gradually dissipated only about two hundred meters above the ground, and the powerful figures on both sides remained suspended in the air at a height of about two hundred meters.

This doesn't mean that Elder Xuan and Poison Undying are incapable; at their level, they could easily raze the entire Shrek City to the ground. It's the result of a tacit understanding and deliberate control on both sides. After all, neither wants their conflict to implicate their own people.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​who were standing in the open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion, could clearly feel the terrifying pressure. However, this pressure seemed to be dissolved by some gentle force and had no effect on the two of them.

This was, of course, Elder Mu's doing.

In fact, Elder Mu brought Yu Tianhuang to the Sea God Pavilion for two reasons. One was for Yu Tianhuang's safety, and the other was to let him witness this earth-shattering battle up close.

A battle of this magnitude would only occur once every few decades on the entire Douluo Continent.

For Yu Tianhuang, who possesses unparalleled talent, experiencing the power of this clash between top experts and accumulating valuable experience will definitely make his future cultivation path smoother.

At this moment, Elder Xuan and Poison Undying, who were in the center, were facing each other. The green giant that Poison Undying had transformed into had its two huge hands tightly gripping Elder Xuan's two enormous bull horns. The yellow and dark green light on their bodies flickered, as if they were wrestling, but the two remained in a static state, as if neither could gain the upper hand.

Beside them, streaks of black light flashed continuously. From within those black lights, starlight could be faintly seen.

Those were clearly spatial rifts.

Xu Zihuang's deep purple eyes had already turned into a brilliant gold as he observed the battle between Elder Xuan and Poison Undying. The brilliant gold patterns in his pupils flickered, as if he had gained some insight.

The level of a Body Spirit's second awakening largely reflects its quality and potential. Xu Zihuang's ability to achieve a Gold-level Body Spirit second awakening at the Soul Master level means his Golden Eye Body Spirit is undoubtedly the most top-tier Body Spirit, bar none.

After his Golden Eye Martial Soul underwent its second awakening, the quality of his Martial Soul also experienced a leap forward.

If a typical user of a Martial Soul undergoing a second awakening is merely equivalent to the evolution of their Martial Soul from an Earth Dragon to a True Dragon, then his golden eyes represent a qualitative leap from a True Dragon to a Dragon King, and it's far more than that.

The most direct evidence is that, with his current cultivation level, relying on the ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul, he can already capture the rules governing the movement of a trace of spatial power around the black light.

This is entirely the martial soul instinct of the Golden Eyes.

He had already sensed something when he saw Jiang Nannan use the Instant Teleportation Soul Skill during this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

However, possessing the soul skill of instant teleportation and truly controlling the power of space are not the same thing at all.

The current confrontation between Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal has allowed him to glimpse some of the mysteries of spatial power through their combined control over it.

As the struggle between Elder Xuan and the Poison Undying in the void continued for longer and longer, the frequency of the black light appearing also increased. The space around them was gradually filled with the black light, and it even showed a tendency to spread outwards.

"You're insane, you can't be poisoned." Elder Xuan's deep voice echoed in the high sky.

"Poison won't kill me," he chuckled coldly.

“Xuanzi, hand over that brat Yu Tianhuang, and I’ll turn around and leave. Otherwise, let’s just keep this stalemate going. But when the space collapses, your Shrek Academy will probably cease to exist.”

Although Du Busi said that, a hint of anxiety was surging deep in his eyes.

He wouldn't want to fight to the death with Shrek Academy, which also has a history of ten thousand years, unless absolutely necessary.

Elder Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with a chilling aura.

"you dare?!"

Before he finished speaking, a brilliant yellow light shone brightly, and the muscles of the Taotie Divine Ox, which Elder Xuan had transformed into, swelled violently. In an instant, its length exceeded one hundred meters, transforming it into a colossal being.

Poison Undying, who was holding onto Elder Xuan's ox horns, looked exceptionally small at this moment. However, his body only took a few steps to stop after being shaken by Elder Xuan.

"What wouldn't I dare to do? There's nothing in the world that our Body Sect wouldn't dare to do. Have you forgotten who attracted the beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest back then?" Poison Undying sneered, and the green on his body began to become crystal clear, and his height exceeded one hundred meters.

This time, the black light around the two appeared even more densely. Each beam of black light was solid and did not disperse, as if it had carved out slits in space.

"You shameless bastard, how dare you say that? If it weren't for our Shrek Academy desperately holding back the beast tide, there would have been endless bloodshed long ago." Elder Xuan's eyes were filled with resentment.

Poison Undying arrogantly said, "What do you mean your Shrek Academy withstood the beast tide? It's as if our Body Sect didn't contribute. Xuanzi, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, this is Shrek Academy's territory. If you're not afraid that your Shrek Academy's millennia-old foundation will be destroyed, then try to stop me. I'll tell you today, that little guy named Yu Tianhuang, my sect is taking him away today. Even if it means your Shrek Academy and our Body Sect are locked in a life-or-death struggle, I'll take it."

At this point, Poison Undying's entire body emitted a brilliant emerald light. The intense light was incomparably dazzling, as if it had transformed into an emerald sun, bathing the Shrek Academy below and even the entire Shrek City in the same color.

At the same time, the strange voice of "Poison Never Dies" echoed through the sky.

"Those belonging to the Body Sect, charge into Shrek Academy and find them!"

"Yes, Sect Master." The powerful figures of the Body Sect responded in unison, transforming into streaks of light of various colors and descending into Shrek Academy.

The Shrek Academy's powerful members, hovering above Seagod Island, paled and stepped forward to meet the enemy. Even when the Sun Moon Empire invaded the three kingdoms that once belonged to the Douluo Continent more than four thousand years ago, Shrek Academy had never encountered such a crisis. This was the first time anyone had dared to actively attack their very doorstep.

An epic battle is about to erupt.

Elder Xuan was utterly shocked and roared angrily, "Are you crazy?! You really want to start a war with Shrek Academy?!"

"I've said it before, what's wrong with going to war with Shrek Academy for the sake of our sect's legacy? You have no idea what that little guy means to our sect. Shrek Academy claims to never restrict its students' freedom. But now you're saying one thing to their face and another behind their back, trying to tie that little guy down? Do you think Shrek Academy is more suitable for cultivating Body Spirits than our Body Sect?" Poisonous Undying said disdainfully.

"Just hand over the person quickly. Or do you think you can stop us?"
