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

Di Tian's eyes were cold and menacing, and his intense killing intent seemed to solidify into a tangible form.

"Humans! Humans!"

There might be some hidden reasons behind this, but the forced stripping of the auspicious beast's bloodline and soul is definitely related to those despicable humans. Perhaps Shrek Academy wanted to steal the fortune of their Star Dou Great Forest. Shrek Academy possesses a connection to that world, so such methods are not surprising. And then there's the human who lured the auspicious beast and impregnated it.

"This world should rightfully be ruled by us. Humanity's actions have threatened the survival of our race. Demon King, Bear King, Crimson King, issue my decree: unleash the beast tide and utterly annihilate Shrek City!"

"Yes!" the Demon King replied in a deep voice. It was the only one among the beast kings who remained relatively calm. The Bear King and the Crimson King, on the other hand, could not hide their anger and hurriedly left to mobilize the soul beast clans in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Kind-hearted and unwilling to cause further bloodshed, Biji did not stop Ditian any further. Regarding the auspicious beasts, humanity had crossed the final line for the Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, the Emperor Auspicious Beast had been raised by her since its infancy, and their bond was exceptionally deep.

The auspicious beast suffered this calamity, and the grief-stricken Bi Ji was unable to calm her emotions for a long time. Her whole body shimmered with emerald green light as she used the powerful healing abilities of the Emerald Swan clan to keep Wang Qiu'er alive.

Di Tian stepped forward to check on Wang Qiu'er's condition, and his expression softened slightly.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur. Although Wang Qiu'er's soul and bloodline power were forcibly stripped away, thanks to Bi Ji's timely intervention, her body did not lose vital signs.

"First, send the auspicious beast to the bottom of the Lake of Life. As long as we retrieve her soul and bloodline power in time, we can revive her."

Brigitte took a deep breath, her breasts heaving slightly as she nodded. They had finally found a glimmer of hope.

"Why did you, silly child, want to be with humans..." Brigitte sighed softly, her crystal-clear emerald wings fluttering as she flew towards the center of the Lake of Life.

……

Northeast of Tiandou City.

The mountains were shrouded in mist, and the mountain winds were biting and heavy with moisture. Although it was also in the mountains, the environment here was much harsher than that of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even in the mist, some black figures could be vaguely seen rushing by at high speed.

This is an extremely fast flying spirit beast, known as the "Killer of the Clouds".

At the very center of the steep mountaintop, an ancient castle stands proudly, unyielding to the raging mountain winds. Above the castle's arched gate are three large characters: Haotian Castle.

This is the location of the Haotian Sect.

Haotian Fortress has no luxurious decorations; its overall layout is predominantly gray and black, with occasional traces of blue. Staircases on both sides allow access to higher levels.

Although the castle occupies a considerable area, it only has three floors.

In a room on the third floor of Haotian Fortress, Tang Wutong sat cross-legged on a bed of ten-thousand-year-old ice jade marrow. Intense blue-gold light shimmered on her body, making the ice jade marrow bed beneath her gradually become translucent, its icy blue color as lustrous as jade, as if a viscous liquid was flowing inside.

Her flawless, exquisite face exuded an aura of nobility and majesty. A dazzling golden trident rune shone on her forehead, the source of that noble and majestic aura. The appearance of this golden trident rune transformed the vast space behind her into a blue-gold ocean.

The number of spirit rings pulsating around Tang Wutong was a staggering nine.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red. Six black and three red spirit rings—such a terrifying combination is second only to Xu Zihuang on the entire Douluo Continent.

However, as the golden trident rune between Tang Wutong's brows flickered, her original Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul also changed. The color of the pair of dragon wings on her back was extremely dazzling. The area near her back was a bright blue, gradually transitioning to gold as it extended towards the edges. The edges of the dragon wings were wavy, like butterfly wings, emitting a faint golden light.

Niu Tian and Titan, these two loyal henchmen, also stayed by Tang Wutong's side.

"Big brother, it seems Wu Tong has succeeded. That person is indeed far-sighted, having left behind this backup plan. With this, won't that kid be easy for us to control in the future? Hahahahahaha."

Seeing this, Titan waved his big hand excitedly.

"When he comes to Wu Tong's door, I'll definitely teach him a lesson and show him what it means to respect his elders. Humph!"

"Alright, second brother, there will be opportunities. Just don't forget what that person told us." Niu Tian shook his head with a chuckle.

"Speaking of which, that kid's talent is even better than that person's back then, so he's certainly worthy of our Wu Tong. When he comes to us later, you can teach him a good lesson. But the most important thing is to make him understand that the so-called Imperial Beast is nothing more than an inferior copy of Wu Tong, and the soul of the Imperial Beast originally belonged to Wu Tong. If he knows what's good for him, we'll just teach him a lesson. But if he doesn't know what's good for him, you'll have to make him suffer a bit."

"Brother, just hearing that is enough."

Titan chuckled eagerly, then changed the subject, saying with some doubt, "But isn't this a bit too easy on that kid?"

"Give that kid a cheap ride?" Niu Tian glanced at Titan with a strange expression.

"Is this the first day you've met that person? If that kid becomes that person's son-in-law, he'll have a hard time."

……

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island, Poseidon Pavilion.

Elder Xuan sat dejectedly in his room. Only a dozen days had passed since the incident in the southern suburbs of Mingdu, but his face looked much older than when he had just broken through to the Limit Douluo level.

That incident was a huge blow to him.

On the day he returned to Shrek Academy, he told Elder Mu about Yu Tianhuang's true identity. After learning the truth, Elder Mu remained silent for a long time, finally sighing sadly.

Although Elder Mu didn't say anything, Elder Xuan understood everything.

To have one's heir, whom one has painstakingly nurtured, turn out to be the emperor of an enemy nation is an immense irony. And then there's the inevitable war.

Old Master Xuan leaned against the headboard, eating a chicken leg in a disheveled manner, his whole body covered in grease, as if he had returned to his old days.

Just then, soft golden light coalesced before him into a phantom image. This image resembled Elder Mu somewhat, but appeared much younger. It was Elder Mu's soul that had merged into the Golden Tree.

"Elder Mu?!" Elder Xuan suddenly sat up, asking in surprise and uncertainty.

Elder Mu looked solemnly south, towards the location of the Starry Sky Forest.

"Xuanzi, something has happened."

Before Elder Mu could finish speaking, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted.

"Boom!"

Elder Xuan's face darkened, and he followed Elder Mu's gaze, his eyes widening in surprise.

The sky outside was darkening at a visible speed, and there was a distinctly abnormal atmosphere about it.

If it were merely a change in weather, the dark clouds should have appeared slowly and irregularly, rising and falling like a whirlwind. But what they saw was a neat expanse of black on the distant southern horizon, stretching towards Shrek City like a massive army pressing in.

The whole world had the illusion of being swallowed by darkness.

Students and teachers from both the outer and inner academies of Shrek Academy noticed the strange phenomenon in the south of Shrek City. The inner academy disciples and teachers remained relatively calm, but many of the younger outer academy students felt a sense of panic.

In the ten thousand years since Shrek Academy was founded, apart from the beast tide a hundred years ago, there has never been a change like today.

At the same time, a deep voice reached the ears of every inner court disciple of Shrek Academy.

"All inner court disciples of Shrek Academy, listen to my command and assemble at the south city wall."

The inner disciples of Shrek Academy enjoy the best cultivation conditions and resources, and naturally, they also need to bear corresponding responsibilities. The inner disciples all displayed their various skills, gathering towards the south wall of Shrek City.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were among them. They were originally from the Tang Clan residence in the southern part of Shrek City, and were among the first inner disciples to arrive at the southern city wall.

A bright green firework shot into the sky, exploded high in the air, and transformed into a Shrek-themed avatar.

Upon seeing the Shrek image, Beibei and Tangya's expressions instantly changed.

"Beibei, could it be that the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have launched another beast tide?" Tang Ya subconsciously tightened her grip on Beibei's hand, her voice hoarse.

That firework signal just now represented not only danger, but also a powerful enemy launching a large-scale invasion. And the one who sent that signal was none other than Shi Xing, the Time Douluo and lord of Shrek City.

"It should be pretty close to being true."

Looking into the distance at Beibei, he nodded with difficulty, his expression bitter.

"It's like one problem after another."

The events that occurred in the southern suburbs of Mingdu were witnessed by tens of millions of people in the Sun Moon Empire. This information simply could not be suppressed.

Beibei and Tang Ya also learned about Xu Zihuang's true identity.

Since its founding, Shrek City has always had the highest and most heavily fortified city walls in the south. The reason is simple: this direction faces the Star Dou Great Forest. The tall and sturdy walls are capable of accommodating tens of thousands of soldiers fighting simultaneously.

Shi Xing, the Time Douluo, was a tall, middle-aged man. He stood on the city wall, directing the Shrek City Guards to set up defenses while staring intently to the south.

The pitch-black sky slowed their progress slightly. But the oppressive force emanating from the heavens still made it hard to breathe.

Finally, a dense mass of various soul beasts appeared in everyone's sight. The soul beasts moved forward in a fan shape, almost in sync with the dark clouds in the sky.

Even with his current level of cultivation as a Title Douluo, he couldn't help but gasp in shock at the sheer scale of the beast tide.

He hadn't witnessed the beast tide triggered by the Body Sect a hundred years ago, but he was certain that this beast tide was even larger than the one that happened back then.

After the inner courtyard disciples took their places, figures descended from the sky and landed on the south city wall. Leading them was none other than the current master of the Sea God Pavilion, the Gluttonous Douluo Xuanlao.

The other elders of the Sea God Pavilion also arrived, including Deans Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er.

As for the teachers of Shrek Academy, they were evenly divided into three groups and went to the other three city walls to direct the students of the outer academy.

"Old Xuan, what's going on? How come there was no warning at all? The Star Dou Great Forest suddenly launched a beast tide against us." Old Song asked Old Xuan beside him with a solemn expression.

"Judging from the scale of this beast tide, it is probably being personally overseen by the Beast God Di Tian."

Just as Elder Xuan was about to say something, the sky above Shrek City suddenly collapsed. Purple cracks appeared, and huge dragon heads emerged from them, opening their mouths wide. Countless terrifying purplish-black dragon flames, like a natural disaster, enveloped the entire Shrek City.

Myriad Dragon Flames is Di Tian's signature technique. It's similar to Xu Zihuang's Radiant Dragon King's Soul Bone skill, Radiant Dragon Annihilation Flames, except that Di Tian's Myriad Dragon Flames spew out dragon flames of extreme darkness. In terms of destructive power alone, dark dragon flames certainly can't compare to dragon flames of destruction, but if these dragon flames were allowed to fall, the entire Shrek City would be reduced to ruins in an instant.

"Di Tian, ​​have you gone mad?!" Elder Xuan's horrified roar echoed across the sky. Di Tian clearly intended to completely destroy the entire Shrek City.

"Moo-"

Elder Xuan spread his arms wide and roared to the sky. The powerful sound wave caused the distant army of soul beasts to pause for a moment. Immediately afterward, his body transformed into a yellow meteor and rose into the sky. Within the yellow light, a figure of light and shadow, a thousand meters long, appeared.

With dragon markings and two horns reaching to the sky, it was none other than Elder Xuan's powerful martial spirit, the Taotie Divine Ox.

Xuan Lao's two bull horns reached to the sky, and the originally brownish-black horns quickly became transparent and dazzling, as if they were polished diamonds. Between his two horns, a thick, earthy-yellow sphere of light appeared.

This ball of light looked extremely strange. Its interior seemed to be solid, but it was filled with sliced ​​pieces, each piece emitting a strange radiance.

Under Elder Xuan's control, the ball of light transformed into a massive, earthen-yellow continent that blotted out the sky above Shrek City.

"Boom boom boom—"

The dark purple dragon flames landed on the earthen-yellow continent, constantly emitting terrifying tremors and buzzing sounds. The earthen-yellow continent truly shook violently, with yellow and black light clashing and clashing against each other. The sky darkened, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The difference in their cultivation levels became apparent in an instant.

High in the sky, the pitch-black clouds churned violently, and a giant dragon covered in black scales twisted and turned within them, its entire body radiating a deep purple light.

Di Tian appeared completely calm and composed, while Elder Xuan's figure was somewhat unsteady as he struggled to support the simulated continent against Di Tian's myriad dragon flames.

"Di Tian, ​​why have you attacked Shrek City today?!" Elder Xuan continued to ask in a deep voice, unwilling to give up.

"Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for involving so many ordinary people in Shrek City?!"

"Divine retribution?! You despicable humans dare to mention divine retribution to me? In all these years, when have you humans ever stopped harming us soul beasts?! We soul beasts have been living in seclusion in the Star Dou Great Forest, while you humans, for your own greed and selfishness, keep entering the Star Dou Great Forest to kill my people. It is you humans who should bear the divine retribution."

Di Tian snorted angrily.

"Now you've even secretly used underhanded means to seize the bloodline and soul of the Emperor Beast, attempting to sever the fortune of my Starry Sky. Since you dare to go to such extremes, what do I have to hold back?! The conflict between races is a fight to the death! What can you do to me if I destroy a mere Shrek City?"

Di Tian didn't give Xuan Lao a chance to explain at all. As his huge wings spread out, the light of the scales on his body dimmed for a moment, but the clusters of dragon flames became even stronger.

"go to hell!"
