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

The Sea God Pavilion meeting concluded, and everyone acted swiftly. Upon leaving Shrek Academy, Elder Song immediately unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, transforming into the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle and leading Xu Zihuang, Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo towards the northwestern border of the Star Luo Empire.

Elder Song is a level 97 Super Douluo; it's no exaggeration to say she is the pinnacle of agility-type battle spirit masters on the continent. At her speed, she could reach the front lines in at most an hour.

The people in Shrek City, and even the students in Shrek Academy, could hardly see it with their naked eyes; they could only vaguely see a blue light disappearing quickly from sight.

Xu Zihuang, along with Deans Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, stood side by side on the back of the giant Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, gazing ahead with profound eyes.

With his talent, once he breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, no one in the world will be able to defeat him.

Xu Tianran is now severely injured and has lost his manhood. His only obsession is to become the unifying emperor of the continent. However, Xu Zihuang cannot stand by and watch Xu Tianran unify the continent and reach the pinnacle of his prestige among the people of the Sun Moon Empire.

The more Xu Tianran desires something, the less likely he is to give it to him. Not only that, but he will take away everything Xu Tianran currently possesses in the future. His purpose is to make Xu Tianran experience firsthand the humiliation and despair of losing everything and being unable to control his own destiny.

"Xu Tianran, this is the true beginning of my revenge."

Xu Zihuang's gaze sharpened, his eyes gradually focusing.

He didn't care about Duke Dai Hao's life or death; he simply didn't want the Star Luo Empire to collapse so quickly. As long as the war lasted about five years as he planned, he was confident he could become a Title Douluo and reap the final victory.

Xu Zihuang's confidence stemmed from his strength. Although he knew that Kong Deming didn't care who controlled the Sun Moon Empire, he wouldn't contact Kong Deming before he had sufficient strength.

Rather than taking the risk of trusting Kong Deming, he preferred to believe in the power he controlled.

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo remained silent, their expressions solemn. After all, the situation was urgent. If Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger were to perish, it would be devastating news for both the three great empires of the Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy.

Besides Elder Song, a level 97 Super Douluo, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo have also reached level 95 in soul power cultivation. With three Super Douluos, plus Xu Zihuang whose combat power is not much less than that of a Super Douluo, Shrek Academy's deployment of such a lineup demonstrates the importance they attach to this matter.

An hour passes in the blink of an eye.

Old Master Song solemnly instructed the three, "We're not far from the Mingdou Mountains now. We're approaching the front lines. Tianhuang, Lin'er, and Duoduo, be prepared to deal with any emergencies at any time."

"Yes!" the three replied without hesitation.

But not long after, Xu Zihuang suddenly looked towards the southeast as if sensing something and warned, "Wait, Elder Song. Someone is approaching us. There are nine experts at the Title Douluo level or above. They should be from the Star Luo Empire."

Upon hearing this, Old Song, Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo were all stunned. They hadn't noticed anything amiss at all.

Xu Zihuang's eyes instantly turned a brilliant gold. Relying on the innate ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul, he saw a powerful purple light in the void to the southeast. This purple light took the shape of a vortex, and spatial rifts began to appear around it, continuously merging together.

Ten figures were enveloped by the purple light, streaking past like purple meteors. Someone inside had used their control over spatial power to conceal their presence.

As they got closer, Old Man Song, Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo also vaguely sensed the subtle spatial fluctuations here.

The old man controlling the purple meteor appeared to be around sixty years old. He only felt an invisible spiritual force penetrate the spatial rift and sweep over their bodies one by one.

This feeling of being completely seen through is really not pleasant.

What shocked the old man most was not the powerful spiritual energy, but the spatial power contained within it. He was certain that the other person's control over spatial power far surpassed his own.

If it weren't for the special nature of his own martial soul, he wouldn't even be able to sense the existence of this spiritual power.

It's important to know that his martial soul is an extremely rare spatial attribute martial soul. Furthermore, he himself is a Super Douluo with a soul power level of 95, making him one of the top five strongest individuals in the Star Luo Empire.

The old man controlled the purple vortex-shaped meteor to stop in place, his expression extremely solemn.

At the center of the crowd stood a woman clad in white soft armor. Her long golden hair was tied back in a ponytail, and she exuded a heroic air. She was none other than Princess Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire.

A hint of doubt flickered in Xu Jiujiu's clear, azure eyes as she softly asked the old man before her, "Senior Suixing, what's wrong?"

Although these nine titled Douluo would outwardly obey Xu Jiujiu's orders, this Shattered Star Douluo was the true leader of this mission to rescue Duke White Tiger.

The Star Shattering Douluo's martial soul is very unique; it's called the Star Shattering Light.

When he awakened his martial soul at the age of six, a purple light appeared on his body. This light could shatter anything it touched, and he named it the Shattering Star Light himself.

With his unique Shattering Star Light Martial Soul and innate full soul power, he had already reached the level of a Super Douluo at the young age of sixty-six. His Shattering Star Light Martial Soul possessed spatial power—more precisely, the power of spatial destruction. It was extremely powerful.

The other eight Title Douluos also looked towards Shattered Star Douluo. Being within Shattered Star Douluo's martial soul ability, they hadn't sensed the presence of that spiritual power. And the one beside Xu Jiujiu was none other than Nebula Douluo Manyi, who was protecting her closely.

Just as Shattered Star Douluo was about to say something, a gentle voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"Senior, we are from Shrek Academy and have no ill intentions."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xu Jiujiu's eyes lit up.

"Tianhuang?!"

Most of the titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire didn't know much about Yu Tianhuang; what they cared about more was that Shrek Academy's reinforcements had arrived.

Shattered Star Douluo dispersed the purple light around him, revealing his figure along with the others, and approached in the northwest direction.

Only when he saw Elder Song, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, and Xu Zihuang standing in the air not far ahead did he feel a surge of joy and completely relax his vigilance.

With the help of powerful figures from Shrek Academy, their chances of rescuing Duke White Tiger will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Soon, Xu Jiujiu and her group approached.

"Hello, you must be Elder Song from the Sea God Pavilion. I am Xu Jiujiu from the Star Luo Empire." Xu Jiujiu bowed respectfully to Elder Song. The strong are always respected.

Not only Elder Song, but also Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, the two deans and vice deans of the Soul Guidance Department with extraordinary status in Shrek Academy, along with Yu Tianhuang, the heir to the Sea God Pavilion. Shrek Academy's affection for their Star Luo Empire was truly profound.

Old Master Song smiled slightly and said, "Princess Jiujiu, no need to be so polite. Time is of the essence, we can talk about pleasantries later, let's go and support Duke Baihu first."

In front of Elder Song, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo were merely juniors, and the two were also Elder Song's daughter and son-in-law. Elder Song naturally represented Shrek Academy.

After a long while, his gaze fell on Xu Zihuang, and after nodding slightly, he gestured to Elder Song to invite him.

The members of the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy flew side by side, arriving above the Mingdou Mountains, searching from south to north for the route of Duke Dai Hao's retreat. A small detail was that the Title Douluo of the Star Luo Empire and Elder Song of Shrek Academy each shielded Xu Jiujiu and Xu Zihuang in the middle.

Although Elder Xuan said that, Elder Song and the others would definitely do their best to ensure Yu Tianhuang's safety. After all, this is the front line of the battlefield.

Xu Jiujiu deliberately moved closer to Xu Zihuang, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and said with a strange expression, "Tianhuang, I didn't expect you to come this time. Our Star Luo Empire will definitely remember the kindness of Shrek Academy and you."

As a princess of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiujiu had always been extremely arrogant. She even looked down on Dai Yueheng, the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, but she had to admit Yu Tianhuang's excellence.

Any exceptionally talented genius would pale in comparison to Yu Tianhuang.

"Your Highness is too kind. It's not a matter of gratitude. Our Shrek Academy was originally part of the Douluo Continent. Although we cannot directly participate in the war with the Sun Moon Empire at present, now that your country's Duke White Tiger is in danger, our academy should lend a helping hand within our capabilities." Xu Zihuang smiled calmly, responding impeccably.

Old Song, Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo all nodded in satisfaction to themselves.

Shrek Academy is ultimately just an academy. Unless absolutely necessary, there's no need for it to confront the Sun Moon Empire head-on. Xu Jiujiu's plan to use rhetoric to coax Shrek Academy onto their side is likely to fail.

After a long while, she looked at Xu Zihuang with a resentful gaze.

"Tianhuang, didn't we agree before that you can just call me Jiujiu?"

While Xu Zihuang and Xu Jiujiu were being watched, the Title Douluo from the Star Luo Empire were also paying attention. In the past, Nebula Douluo Manyi might have thought Xu Jiujiu was being too humble, but after learning about Yu Tianhuang's terrifying talent and strength, she was actually quite pleased.

Whether out of personal reasons or from the perspective of the country, she hoped that Xu Jiujiu and Yu Tianhuang could be together.

“Okay, Jiu Jiu,” Xu Zihuang replied with a smile that didn’t fade.

Seeing Yu Tianhuang's unyielding attitude, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. But she still managed to hold back and not show it.

She could sense that Yu Tianhuang maintained a certain distance from her. In contrast, Yu Tianhuang was clearly much closer to Vina of the Tianhun Empire, who was also a princess.

In terms of appearance, temperament, and status, Xu Jiujiu believed she was no less than Vina. Ultimately, she attributed this solely to Yu Tianhuang's status as a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

In reality, Xu Zihuang was unwilling to get too involved with Xu Jiujiu simply because Xu Jiujiu was too opportunistic.

In Xu Jiujiu's eyes, the interests of the Star Luo Empire always come first.

Although he was in the same boat back then and had no right to say anything, the truth is that having a deep friendship with someone like Xu Jiujiu is really meaningless. Why waste energy and emotions?

The Star Shattering Douluo was also quite concerned about Yu Tianhuang. However, considering that the most urgent task was to rescue Duke White Tiger, he couldn't worry about that and focused all his attention on sensing the spatial fluctuations caused by the collision of soul power in the Mingdou Mountains.

While the Mingdou Mountains near the Heavenly Soul Empire are not as precipitous, they stretch much further horizontally. Locating the White Tiger Guards and the First Soul Master Legion, led by Duke White Tiger, in such a vast area is no easy task.

But in the next instant, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Xu Zihuang.

Seven incredibly impressive spirit rings appeared one after another beside Xu Zihuang.

Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Gold!

The scene before them caused several titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire, who had been in seclusion for years and detached from worldly affairs, to gasp in disbelief.

With a spirit ring ratio of six red and one gold, this kid is terrifyingly powerful!

But what shocked them even more was yet to come. The fourth spirit ring beside Xu Zihuang emitted a blood-red light, and an invisible spiritual force forcibly connected with the spiritual seas of everyone present.

In front of the Title Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Zihuang did not intend to reveal the abilities of his soul spirit for the time being. Therefore, he did not let the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm use its ability to share mental detection, but instead used his fourth soul skill to imprint the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's mental sharing.

A spirit-sharing soul skill of the 100,000-year level, when used with his tangible and tangible spiritual power, becomes a forced connection. Even non-spiritual titled Douluo would find it difficult to resist.

Of course, if these titled Douluos continue to resist, it will also cause a huge drain on Xu Zihuang's soul power and mental strength.

"Dear seniors of the Star Luo Empire, please do not resist. I have located the White Tiger Duke's location and am sharing the scene with you through this soul skill," Xu Zihuang reminded him in time, and then activated the Void Eye, the innate ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul in its normal state.

A brilliant golden eye appeared out of thin air thousands of meters above the void. Under the gaze of this eye, everything below rapidly magnified and became clear.

From this divine, godlike perspective, everyone saw the shimmering lights within the distant Mingdou Mountains.

The flashes of light were extremely rapid, demonstrating the intensity of the battle.

The shimmering figures were mainly divided into two groups. One group consisted of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps members whose flying soul tools on their backs were flashing blue light, and the other group consisted of the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps members whose flying soul tools on their backs were flashing dark gold light.

The two guardian spirit master groups spread out in the air, maintaining their spirit master positions in mid-air, and jointly released a dark golden light shield and a blue light shield to protect them. At the same time, they continuously shot out thick spirit guide rays downwards.

They didn't attack in isolation, but rather combined several soul-guided rays. Each solidified soul-guided ray produced a violent booming sound below.

There is also a defensive light shield below, but compared to the two clearly distinct light shields in the air, its color can be described as colorful.

These nearly one hundred different light shields appeared extremely chaotic. This was clearly a protective soul skill cast by a soul master.

Within the two major Soul Master Corps in the sky, seven or eight people remained suspended, not making a move, but simply coldly watching the battlefield below.

Although the light barrier blocked their aura, the titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire and Elder Song of Shrek Academy could all sense the power of these people.

Especially the old man at the head. Under his control, two spheres of light, echoing each other, pulsed in the sky. The golden and silver spheres rotated around an unknown center, intertwining in the air to form an even larger golden and silver sphere.

The golden and silver orbs in the sky stared at the earth like a giant two-colored eye, and then locked onto a blond middle-aged man whose armor was tattered and whose body was half charred.

It was none other than Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger!

Dai Hao's injuries were quite severe, and he was using a long sword to support his body as he directed the battle.

Suddenly, an extremely unsettling sense of danger welled up within him, and he instinctively looked up at the sky.

Among the Soul Masters on the Star Luo Empire's side, there were three other Title Douluos. Title Douluos possess extremely keen senses, and they hurriedly tried to provide assistance, but unfortunately, it was too late.

"The Duke!"

Just then, the golden and silver orbs in the sky dimmed without warning, transforming into two metal rings, one large and one small. The larger one was about 1.5 meters in diameter, and the smaller one was about 1 meter in diameter, appearing in gold and silver respectively, with intricate patterns engraved on them. Unless one possessed a strong spiritual power, simply looking at them up close would likely cause a dizzying sensation.

"not good!"

The old man who had been controlling the soul tool suddenly changed his expression. He was horrified to find that he had lost contact with the Sun and Moon Divine Needle.
