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

"Zhongli brat, what nonsense are you spouting to me?! When you followed the Sun Moon Empire to invade my Heavenly Soul Empire's territory and kill my Heavenly Soul Empire's people, we were already locked in a life-or-death struggle!" Poisonous Undying laughed in extreme anger.

"Even if it costs me my life, I will still kill you two scoundrels! All of you, attack me!" Poisonous Undying roared and charged directly at Zhongli Wu.

"Watch closely! This is how you use the second awakening of a Gold-level Martial Soul!"

The last sentence, "Poison Never Dies," was clearly directed at Xu Zihuang. In fact, even without Poison Never Dies's reminder, Xu Zihuang was already using his Golden Eye Martial Soul to observe the changes in Poison Never Dies during his second awakening of his Gold-level Body Martial Soul.

The Golden Body Douluo and the others understood each other perfectly and prepared to besiege Feng Ling; the battle was about to break out.

Zhongli Wu, who was protecting Feng Ling, had an uncertain expression. He had just used his soul power to briefly check Feng Ling's physical condition, and the situation was not optimistic. Although Feng Ling still had the strength to fight, she had suffered severe internal injuries and probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Having expended a significant amount of his life force to undergo a second awakening of his Gold-level martial soul, Poison Undying's combat power is now comparable to that of a Limit Douluo. If Poison Undying were to truly fight him to the death, he too would face immense pressure. At best, it would only result in mutual destruction.

As for Feng Ling, she probably won't be able to withstand the siege from the rest of the Body Sect and will most likely perish here. At that point, under the combined attack of the Body Sect members, it will be almost impossible for her to escape.

"The Body Sect! What a Body Sect!"

Zhongli Wu could no longer contain his anger and roared wildly, as if he were in a frenzy.

"I will remember what happened today!"

A chill flashed across Zhongli Wu's eyes, and the jet-black skeleton of the Bone Dragon King beneath him suddenly burst forth with dazzling blue and red light.

"Go to hell, all of you!"

Space trembled and cracked. Compared to Xu Zihuang's previous Dark Demonic Lightning, the energy fluctuations emitted by the Bone Dragon King were far more terrifying. It was as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse.

Driven to the brink of despair, Zhongli Wu chose to self-destruct his natal beast spirit. However, before he could escape with Feng Ling, he did not see the outcome he had hoped for.

Golden pupils of light appeared out of thin air, and Xu Zihuang and the others vanished from their original spots.

Especially Du Bu Si, whose eyes were filled with mockery as he looked at Zhong Li Wu, chuckling strangely with an indescribable sarcastic tone.

"Pfft—" Whether it was the backlash from self-destructing his natal beast spirit or the attack of his blood and qi, Zhongli Wu couldn't stop spitting out a mouthful of blood.

A cyan-red ball of light, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, instantly engulfed the mountain range that stretched for nearly a hundred miles.

Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo who was struggling to climb out of the mountain, saw this scene and his face turned ashen with utter despair.

His consciousness stopped at that moment.

Chapter 481 The Gift of the Immortal Herb and the Arrival of Wang Qiu'er

In order to make Xu Zihuang and Du Busi pay a heavy price, Zhongli Wu made a desperate move, simultaneously detonating the Bone Dragon King's true form and its beast soul. Although everything he did was futile due to Xu Zihuang's Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body's innate abilities, the terrifying power generated by the Bone Dragon King's self-destruction was truly earth-shattering.

Its power was even greater than that of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon. The raging wind and fire energy swept wildly across an area of ​​nearly a hundred miles, turning this place into an absolute no-go zone.

Even in Longcheng, hundreds of kilometers away, the ever-expanding blue-red orb on the distant horizon could be clearly seen. Inside the orb, the blue and red colors merged together, gradually turning into an eerie deep blue.

The earth was shaking violently, and the distant sky was painted the same deep blue, as if the end of the world was approaching.

The Soul Masters and soldiers standing atop the south gate of Dragon City looked south in astonishment once again. This was the second strange phenomenon to appear in the south within a short period of time.

The Sun and Moon Empire's military camp was also closely monitoring the situation in the south.

Ju Zi had already arrived outside the tent, surrounded by Fire Phoenix Douluo Feng Luan and the leaders of several other Soul Master Corps.

As high-ranking figures in the military, they were naturally aware of Zhongli Wu's plan to lead the Holy Spirit Cult's experts to ambush the Body Sect and Heavenly Soul Empire's reinforcements. They had also deployed high-altitude detection soul tools to monitor the situation, but when that incandescent light burst forth, all the high-altitude detection soul tools lost contact with them.

The time between the two events was less than fifteen minutes. They didn't have time to send anyone to investigate.

Ju Zi, clad in red soft armor, looked up into the distance, her brows furrowing. She was certain that neither the incandescent white light or the deep blue light she now possessed was from the explosion of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon.

Because every level-nine fixed-position soul tool of the Sun Moon Empire is an absolute secret and could never be easily leaked. Moreover, in terms of attributes, it does not match the level-nine fixed-position soul cannons that the Sun Moon Empire has produced.

As for the Heavenly Soul Empire, it's unlikely they possess the capability to manufacture level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons. If they did, they would have already used them in the previous wars.

Judging from this, it was most likely caused by a battle between top-tier Soul Masters.

"Relay my order: the entire army retreats!" Orange acted swiftly and decisively, issuing the order. This wasn't just a judgment based on the current situation; it was also driven by a special kind of intuition.

The Fire Phoenix Douluo, who was close to Ju Zi, nodded slightly with a calm expression. As for the other division commanders of the Soul Master Corps, after a brief hesitation, they also chose to trust Ju Zi's judgment.

"Yes, Marshal!"

After all, they had witnessed the Empress's leadership abilities firsthand on numerous occasions along the way. The fact that the Sun Moon Empire was able to occupy nearly a third of the Heavenly Soul Empire's territory in less than a month was certainly due to the overwhelming advantage of both sides in soul-guided technology, but Ju Zi's command and coordination were equally indispensable.

Several Soul Master regiments of the Sun Moon Empire stationed outside Dragon City began their orderly retreat. Assisted by various Soul Tools, they possessed exceptional mobility and quickly withdrew from the area surrounding Dragon City.

Although the army in Dragon City also discovered the unusual behavior of the Sun Moon Empire's army, the city lord of Dragon City did not order the army to pursue them out of caution.

In the current situation, the Heavenly Soul Empire is clearly in decline. He seeks no merit but only to avoid mistakes.

At the same time, Xu Zihuang and the others appeared in the void, looking back at the direction behind them.

The mountains in the area where they had just fought were completely leveled. The clouds in the sky were dispersed by the terrifying energy impact, leaving only billowing dust that lingered there.

Recalling Zhongli Wu's earlier furious state, Du Bu Si felt inexplicably pleased and chuckled excitedly.

"Hahahaha! That old bastard Zhongli Wu is probably turning green with rage."

The other members of the Body Sect also wore smiles. This time, the Holy Spirit Sect had lost five Title Douluos, and its leaders, Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling, were severely injured. In this battle, they not only avenged their previous defeat, but the pressure on the Heavenly Soul Empire in the future would also be greatly reduced.

After the initial excitement, Du Busi and the others all turned their attention to Xu Zihuang.

Having personally experienced the profound mysteries of Yu Tianhuang's Golden Eye Martial Soul, they realized even more deeply the extraordinary nature of it. While they had always regarded their Body Martial Soul as divinely favored, among all the Body Martial Souls that had appeared in the Body Sect's ten thousand-year history, none had ever been more deserving of the title as divinely favored than Xu Zihuang's Golden Eye Martial Soul.

"Your martial soul indeed possesses spatial and temporal attributes from birth," Du Bu Si said meaningfully.

When he assassinated Xu Tianran in the Sun Moon Empire's palace, he saw Yu Tianhuang use the ability to stop time.

As if making a connection to something, Du Busi's eyes widened in disbelief as he spoke.

"You predicted in advance that Zhongliwu would self-destruct his natal beast spirit?!"

Facing the surprised and uncertain gazes of the crowd, Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.

"My Golden Eye Martial Soul's other talent ability is that I can foresee future events."

Poison Undying's gaze sharpened instantly, and the Golden Body Douluo and Silver Bone Douluo behind him exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with turmoil.

The ability to foresee the future was completely beyond their comprehension. It was almost like a power that only gods could wield.

Not only that, but the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that Yu Tianhuang had released earlier, as well as the vines belonging to the Thunderous Hell Vine, also deeply shocked them.

Xu Zihuang, his expression unchanged, continued speaking to Du Busi: "I used the ability of the Void Eye to investigate, and all the Soul Master regiments stationed outside Dragon City by the Sun Moon Empire have retreated. The Holy Spirit Cult has also suffered heavy losses, so the Sun Moon Empire should not take any further action in the short term."

As he spoke, he took out the rare and precious Chrysanthemum in the jade box from his star sapphire ring.

"Senior Poison, this is a rare and precious herb that I obtained from a treasure land. It should be of some use to you."

After handing the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to Du Busi, Xu Zihuang nodded to Du Busi and the others again.

"I will now act alone. Farewell, everyone."

As he spoke, Xu Zihuang flew towards the direction of Tiandou City, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. The reason he was in such a hurry to leave was because he sensed Wang Qiu'er's arrival.

"This is……"

Poison Undying instinctively gripped the jade box in his hand, his gaze fixed on it.

Chapter 482 A Classic Return

The Golden-bodied Douluo Jinpeng was also examining the immortal herb in the jade box. He was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Sect Master, this immortal herb seems to be the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum?"

Disciples of the Body Sect need to undergo a special body-refining process to achieve the second awakening of their Body Martial Soul, thereby stimulating the potential of their Martial Soul. This requires nourishing the body with external forces, such as medicinal herbs and the essence of various soul beasts.

Over thousands of years, this accumulation has led to the Body Sect having extremely in-depth research on various rare and precious materials, including records of some celestial medicinal herbs.

The Douluo Continent is vast, and immortal herbs are not only found in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Thousands of years ago, a powerful ancestor of the Body Sect obtained a rare and extraordinary Chrysanthemum by chance, which enabled him to cultivate an indestructible body. He also completed the second awakening of his Gold-level Body Martial Soul and became the sect leader of that generation.

"Indeed. This immortal herb is indeed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and its age is at least fifty thousand years." Poison Undying sighed wistfully.

"Although Dragon God Douluo and our sect have a long-standing feud, I have to admit his keen eye. This little guy Yu Tianhuang should be the chosen one of this era, born with destiny. If I had brought him back to the sect at all costs, the sect would definitely have reached its peak under his leadership. Shrek Academy really got a great deal."

Then, Poison Undying changed his tone again, disregarding his image as the head of a sect, and chuckled strangely, "But Shrek Academy alone may not be able to restrain someone like him. It's not too late now. As long as I pass on the Body Secret Technique to him, and he breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, he will naturally become the next Body Douluo."

"What the sect leader says is absolutely right."

The Golden Body Douluo, Silver Bone Douluo, and others behind Du Bu Si exchanged glances and nodded with smiles.

Poison Undying wields absolute authority within the Body Sect, and they also largely approve of the decisions he makes.

Yu Tianhuang's act of helping them severely damage the Holy Spirit Sect today is enough to warrant entrusting them with his secret techniques. Not to mention he also gifted their sect leader a rare chrysanthemum that is fifty thousand years old.

Poison Immortal casually put away the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, but his gaze was intensely burning. With this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, he could not only replenish the life force and foundation he had lost during the second awakening of his Gold-level Body Martial Soul, but also take this opportunity to try to break through the bottleneck of the Limit Douluo realm.

Subsequently, the members of the Body Sect proceeded to Dragon City as originally planned. After confirming that the situation in Dragon City was safe, Poison Undying immediately returned to Heaven Dou City with Silver Bone Douluo and Blood Coagulation Douluo. Golden Body Douluo and Spirit Brain Douluo Lang Ya remained stationed in Dragon City.

The Holy Spirit Cult has suffered heavy losses, and Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling are seriously injured. With a Golden Body Douluo guarding Dragon City, it can at least be guaranteed not to fall for a short period of time. Unless that madwoman Ye Xishui comes in person.

Upon returning to Tiandou City, Du Busi received another extremely shocking piece of news.

That is, Yu Tianhuang recently severely injured Death God Douluo Ye Xishui on the Mingdou Mountain Range!

The Star Luo Empire has never made a public statement regarding this matter, and the elders of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy who are aware of it will also not disclose it. Under these circumstances, the fact that the Heavenly Soul Empire was still able to obtain this information demonstrates that their intelligence work is quite effective.

It was only because of the huge gap in soul guidance technology that the Heavenly Soul Empire did not gain an advantage over the Sun Moon Empire in terms of intelligence.

At this point, Du Busi decisively chose to go into seclusion for cultivation. Ye Xishui, Zhong Liwu, and the others all needed time to recover. As long as he could break through to the Limit Douluo level during this period, the Heavenly Soul Empire would not be in such a passive position as it is now.

On the other hand, the first batch of reinforcements from the Heavenly Soul Empire also arrived in Dragon City that evening. Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire was among them. The arrival of a princess on the front lines, setting an example for the soldiers, greatly boosted their morale.

As night fell, Dragon City was brightly lit. Although the soldiers patrolling the south gate did not dare to relax their vigilance in the slightest, the atmosphere among the people in the city was not as oppressive as it had been during the day, as reinforcements arrived wave after wave.

Many people gathered in the taverns, drinking to warm themselves and ease their anxieties. Naturally, the arrival of Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire in Dragon City was frequently discussed. The city was peaceful and serene.

In a spacious room inside the Dragon City Lord's Mansion.

The crystal chandelier on the ceiling emitted a soft, warm light, and the geothermal soul guide device made the room feel like springtime.

Two women, both around twenty years old, sat facing each other across the table. They both possessed stunning beauty, but their demeanor was completely opposite.

The woman, dressed in white soft armor, had her long black hair neatly tied into a ponytail, exuding a cool and aloof aura.

The woman sitting opposite her was dressed in a magnificent golden palace gown, gentle and graceful. A tender and captivating smile always graced her pretty face.

Mu Xue sighed helplessly, gently rubbing her forehead. All the words she wanted to say ultimately turned into a sigh.

"Vina, you really shouldn't have come here."

“Sister Xue, I know what you’re thinking, but Longcheng is actually much safer than you think.” Vina sat upright and then gracefully picked up the teacup on the table.

News of the Body Sect's devastating blow to the Holy Spirit Cult had already spread throughout Dragon City. Mu Xue naturally knew that Vina was right. For the foreseeable future, without the cooperation of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters, the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master Corps would find it difficult to withstand the Body Sect's onslaught. Moreover, at present, reinforcements from the Douling Empire were already gathering in the northwest, approaching Dragon City.
