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

Under such immense pressure, even the Taotie Divine Ox that Elder Xuan had transformed into began to tremble, and the simulated earthen-yellow continent appeared and disappeared.

After a brief stalemate, the earthen-yellow continent suddenly shattered. The old man, his aura waning, plummeted downwards towards Shrek City, pursued by hundreds of clusters of dragon flames.

Suddenly, a beam of brilliant golden light rose from the east of Shrek City, the location of the Golden Tree on Seagod Island. After shooting into the air, the golden light swelled into a giant golden dragon, first catching Elder Xuan with its body, and then spewing out a ball of golden light from its head, neutralizing the remaining dark purple dragon flames.

In an instant, the entire Shrek City turned golden, while the sky remained a deep, gloomy darkness. Light and darkness were clearly distinct.

Old Mu's aged voice echoed out.

"Di Tian, ​​the glory of Shrek Academy cannot be desecrated. Don't forget, the original Seven Devils of Shrek Academy have all ascended to the God Realm. At your level of cultivation, you should understand that the God Realm truly exists. How could Shrek City be so easily destroyed by you?"

Chapter 537 Despair and Appearance

"Dragon God Douluo, do you think you can stop me just because you've preserved a portion of your soul and strength through special methods?! So what if the God Realm exists? I never intended to become a god, so what do I have to fear?!"

The enormous black dragon head of the Emperor Heaven emerged from the dark clouds, its golden, majestic eyes filled with madness and disdain, as it roared angrily to the sky.

"You secretly stole the soul and bloodline of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. I do not believe that there was no divine instruction behind this, as you claim. A bunch of despicable and hypocritical people dare to claim divine positions?! If they had the ability to directly interfere in the affairs of the continent, why would they need to resort to such underhanded schemes? Stop bluffing. Today, I will ensure your complete annihilation, to avenge my treachery against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"

As he spoke, layers of purple light emanated from the black scales covering Di Tian's entire body. The darkness in the sky instantly suppressed the golden light that enveloped Shrek City.

This is the true meaning of "dark clouds looming over the city, threatening to destroy it."

Even with Elder Mu's composure, his expression was solemn at this moment, and he hurriedly shouted at Elder Xuan beside him.

"Xuanzi, Taotie!"

The madness of the Beast God Di Tian far exceeded his imagination. Today's situation is completely different from the beast tide a hundred years ago.

A hundred years ago, the Body Sect ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest and hunted down eight 100,000-year-old soul beasts, thus angering the ferocious beasts in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. During that beast tide back then, although the Star Dou Great Forest could be said to have sent out its entire force, the Beast God Di Tian did not attack Shrek City recklessly as he does today. Instead, he merely sought to force Shrek Academy to compromise.

As Elder Mu shouted, the golden light enveloping Shrek City became even more dazzling, showing a tendency to rival the Beast God Emperor Tian.

"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe, who had soared into the air, knelt down in mid-air, tears welling in his eyes. The other elders of the Sea God Pavilion also bowed slightly to Elder Mu.

Even though his physical body had died, Elder Mu resolutely sealed his soul within the Golden Tree, continuing to protect the academy. This noble act also inspired everyone in Shrek City.

The Shrek City Guard, under the command of Time Douluo Shi Xing, was already in position, with the city walls equipped with the most advanced soul tools from the soul guidance system, primarily fixed-mount soul cannons. While expensive to produce, fixed-mount soul cannons were powerful and consumed almost no soul power. Facing the surging, dense beast tide from the Star Dou Great Forest, these cannons would undoubtedly be able to maximize their effectiveness.

Given the current situation, Shrek Academy naturally wouldn't hold back any longer. These fixed-position soul-guided cannons were brought over by Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department.

At this moment, they were also suspended high in the air above the south city wall of Shrek City, confronting the army of soul beasts in front of them.

Within the Star Dou Great Forest, there are at least five ferocious beasts. While Elder Mu and Elder Xuan are tasked with dealing with the Beast God Di Tian, ​​the remaining four ferocious beasts and the soul beasts with over 100,000 years of cultivation will require their assistance in holding them off.

Upon hearing Elder Mu's command, Elder Xuan's spirits immediately lifted. The thousand-meter-tall Taotie Divine Ox he had transformed into let out another deep roar, its entire body radiating a brilliant yellow light, and it rode on auspicious clouds, soaring back into the sky.

At the same time, the Holy Dragon of Light, which Mu Lao had transformed into, also turned into a stream of light and circled towards Xuan Lao's body. Intense golden light frantically poured into Xuan Lao's body.

With Elder Mu's integration, the Taotie Divine Ox's body began to undergo some strange changes. The earth-attribute yellow soul power that surrounded its entire body gradually turned into a bright gold. The earth and light attributes merged perfectly. Numerous golden scales grew from the Taotie Divine Ox's body, and its spiral horns also curved, taking on the shape of deer antlers.

The hooves on its limbs transformed into human hands, and a huge eye appeared under each armpit. Its face became slender, revealing the features of Elder Xuan. But in its eyes, there was still the majesty of Elder Mu.

In this transformation, the Taotie Divine Ox shrank slightly, no longer resembling an ox but more like a sheep. Strangely, its head became extremely large, especially its mouth, which was unusually large, revealing sharp teeth like those of a fierce tiger.

With the body of a sheep and the face of a human, tiger teeth and human claws, Elder Xuan's martial spirit was no longer the Taotie Divine Ox. Instead, it was fused with by Elder Mu in an unconventional way, transforming into the Taotie, one of the nine sons of the dragon.

Elder Xuan's Taotie Divine Ox Martial Soul is a powerful mutated Martial Soul, possessing innate Taotie bloodline, albeit incompletely. Elder Mu purified Elder Xuan's Taotie bloodline through his own Bright Sacred Dragon bloodline, forcibly suppressing the ox portion of the bloodline and fully unleashing the Taotie bloodline. This resulted in the scene before us.

In a sense, at this moment, Xuan Lao was the embodiment of Taotie.

After discovering the changes in Elder Xuan, Di Tian was also somewhat surprised and uncertain.

He could sense that, with Elder Mu's blessing, after truly transforming into the Taotie, Elder Xuan's bloodline strength and purity had reached a level comparable to his own.

Immediately afterwards, another golden light rose straight up from the east of Shrek City, shining upon Elder Xuan. Elder Xuan's aura instantly surged, subtly challenging Di Tian in terms of power.

This is the power of the Golden Tree. Judging solely from the soul power and energy it contains, the Golden Tree has definitely reached the level of a demigod. However, the Golden Tree itself lacks sentience, and it takes a long time to recover after its energy is depleted, making it far inferior to human soul masters and soul beasts.

With the infusion of the Golden Tree's energy, Elder Xuan and Elder Mu's fusion finally completed its final stage.

The Taotie opened its enormous maw and let out a deafening roar, then lunged at Di Tian. With each opening and closing of its ferocious maw, it devoured a great deal of the purplish-black energy and dark clouds surrounding Di Tian, ​​while the Taotie's aura grew even stronger.

The Taotie's greatest skill is devouring, so its abilities are closely related to this. Devouring energy to nourish itself is just the most basic of its abilities.

"Are you courting death?!" Di Tian roared, and the darkness behind him, like a curtain of the sky, once again swept towards Taotie.

"You only possessed some of Uncle Taotie's abilities by forcibly activating the power within your bloodline. Do you really think you're a true descendant of the dragon race and can contend with me?! You two despicable humans dare to blaspheme my race; you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

Di Tian shifted his position, avoiding the gaping maw of the Taotie, and reached out with his jet-black dragon claws towards the Taotie form that Xuan Lao had transformed into. The Taotie, however, fearlessly thrust its head forward, using its massive horns to block Di Tian's dragon claws.

"Boom!" The sky collapsed and space shattered. This magnificent battle truly shocked all the humans and soul beasts below.

Just as the attention of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion was drawn to the great battle, a massive figure quietly arrived at the forefront of the soul beast army.

It stood over fifteen meters tall, its body covered in a thick, dark golden coat. Its arms were incredibly long, hanging at its sides, and were extremely thick. Most exaggerated of all were its shoulders, which were covered with bulging muscles resembling small hills.

It was none other than the King of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, ranked sixth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. The King of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears had a cultivation level of around 470,000 years, which was higher than that of the Emerald Swan and the Demon King. However, it was undoubtedly the strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest besides the Beast God Di Tian.

The terrifying nature of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear race is undeniable.

Beside Xiong Jun stood a black ape about five meters tall. Its black fur emitted a faint purple halo, and its eyes shimmered with golden light, their gaze lively and alert. Most strangely, it possessed a single golden vertical pupil on its forehead. At this moment, the golden light emanating from this pupil was gradually dimming, and the black ape's form was becoming clearer.

This is the Three-Eyed Demon Ape, a powerful soul beast possessing both dark and spiritual attributes, and it is also a Three-Eyed Demon Ape with over 100,000 years of cultivation.

It was under the cover of this three-eyed demonic ape that Xiong Jun was able to get close to this place.

Given Xiong Jun's personality, he would never stoop to using such so-called strategies. After all, with his exceptional combat power, he always relied on brute force to subdue others. However, out of anger towards humans, he unusually compromised this time and heeded the advice of the Demon King and Bi Ji.

Xiong Jun stared fiercely at the south wall of Shrek City, and suddenly all the intense golden light gathered on its claws. The originally dark gold claws instantly turned into a brilliant gold, and even water-like halos could be seen flowing on the surface of the sharp blades.

Xiong Jun strode towards the south wall of Shrek City and quickly approached within a certain range.

Its two sharp claws instantly tore through the sky, slashing down towards the south gate. Ten dark golden blades, thousands of meters long, swept across the sky. Their extreme sharpness was infused with spatial power.

The gigantic claw, stretching a thousand meters, tore through the sky, leaving behind deep, menacing cracks through which glimmers of starlight could be seen.

Sky tearing claw!

Just like the Light of Time and Space that ruled the Evil Eye Tyrant, Xiong Jun also comprehended the Sky-Tearing Claw based on his most powerful innate soul skill, Dark Gold Terror Claw. Back when it challenged Di Tian, ​​it was with this Sky-Tearing Claw that it managed to injure Di Tian. Of course, in the end, Xiong Jun was severely punished by Di Tian. If Di Tian hadn't cherished Xiong Jun's strength, this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear King probably wouldn't exist in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion, suspended high in the sky, were all drawn by the Sky-Tearing Claw. The torn sky itself carried a strong suction force. The reason why Xiong Jun's attack was so terrifying was that, under the suction of the torn space, they could only block it head-on.

"not good!"

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion were startled and each displayed their unique skills, appearing somewhat disheveled.

It should be noted that this Sky-Tearing Claw is a terrifying attack capable of threatening even a Limit Douluo-level powerhouse.

Shi Xing, who was stationed in the center of the south wall of Shrek City, was horrified when he saw this scene and shouted, "Activate the Soul Guidance Shield!"

The three thousand Soul Masters at the rear of Shrek City's defenses each had a metal pillar in front of them. They quickly placed their palms on the pillars and channeled their Soul Power into them. A layer of azure light rapidly rose, enveloping the southern wall of Shrek City.

Shrek Academy lacked the advanced, interconnected soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire; the soul shield formed by the three thousand soul masters was simply a clumsy, overlapping structure. Given the vast area covered by the shield, its defensive capabilities at any single point were extremely limited.

The terrifying spatial suction force of the Sky-Rending Claw instantly tore apart the cyan soul guide shield, and even the sturdy and tall south city wall of Shrek City was cut with ten huge gaps, like ten passages leading directly into Shrek City.

Fortunately, the soul-guided shield prevented the Shrek City Guard from suffering too many casualties. But unfortunately, they had already lost the initiative.

Another spirit beast resembling a giant lion arrived beside Xiong Jun, letting out a roar. It had three large heads and emitted a crimson light.

Ranked eighth among the top ten ferocious beasts, the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, Crimson King!

Led by the two ferocious beasts, Xiong Jun and Chi Wang, the Soul Beast Army officially launched its attack on Shrek City.

The Demon King and the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, also appeared, hovering in the very center of the soul beast army. Unlike the Bear King and the Crimson King, who preferred to reveal their true forms, they maintained their human forms. The Demon King and Bi Ji were essentially control-type and support-type soul masters among human soul masters; they wouldn't be involved in frontal charges, their main responsibility being commanding the soul beast army.

The furious roars of the spirit beasts were deafening, and a thick, pungent stench filled the air, creating an oppressive atmosphere. This sudden turn of events caused panic to spread among the people in Shrek City, with those who were less mentally robust turning deathly pale.

It's over! It's all over!

Old Song, looking grim, led the elders of the Sea God Pavilion over. The commotion Xiong Jun had caused earlier had been too great, so they had taken precautions. Although they were held back by the Sky-Tearing Claw, thankfully no one was seriously injured.

But then, something even more despairing happened.

Golden light shimmered, and the sky turned completely golden.

The Taotie's true form emitted a dazzling golden light, merging with its enormous golden head. The golden light continued to surge, gradually engulfing Di Tian's body.

Di Tian angrily raised his right claw. Although he hadn't attacked yet, an indescribable aura of majesty seemed to emanate from the heavens and earth. The Taotie's enormous body froze instantly, its body trembling violently due to the absolute suppression originating from its bloodline and soul.

Two muffled groans rang out as Elder Xuan and Elder Mu's bodies were forcibly separated. Elder Xuan coughed up blood, his aura weakening, while Elder Mu's figure became increasingly ethereal.

Both of them stared in disbelief at the swooping Di Tian. Elder Xuan's face was ashen as he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Dragon God's Claw?!"

Di Tian transformed into human form, and behind him, a massive black dragon's shadow emerged, upon which a seven-colored light shimmered. Only his right hand retained the form of a dragon's claw, covered with thick knuckles and sharply defined black dragon scales.

Di Tian had been waiting for this opportunity to kill Elder Mu and Elder Xuan. Its eyes blazed with seven-colored flames, and its Dragon God Claws were gradually turning golden, with only the tips shimmering with seven-colored light.

"teacher!"

"Elder Xuan!"

"..."

A series of shrill screams echoed from within Shrek City.

Di Tian's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he snorted disdainfully.

"You think you can stop me? You're overestimating yourselves! Die!"

Just then, a figure stepped out from the void. His right hand held a golden dragon spear diagonally, while his left hand transformed into a deep purple dragon claw, which clashed with Di Tian's Dragon God Claw.

Time seemed to stand still in that instant, followed by an unparalleled clash of terrifying auras. The Dragon God's Claw, a fusion of multiple elemental powers, was abruptly blocked by the destructive force of the Radiant Dragon Claw.

"Get lost!" Xu Zihuang roared indifferently. Both the people in Shrek City and the charging army of soul beasts stopped in their tracks under his mental pressure.

Chapter 538 Clash with Di Tian

The commotion and turmoil subsided into silence with Xu Zihuang's explosive shout, which was imbued with mental pressure. Everyone in Shrek City and countless soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest looked up in horror at the sky.

The imposing Xu Zihuang and the Beast God Di Tian faced off high in the sky, their golden dragon claws and deep purple dragon claws locked in a stalemate. Strangely, no soul power or energy was emanating from them, yet an invisible, terrifying pressure seemed to suppress both the human and the soul beast.

This oppressive force was even more intense for spirit beasts. Those with a cultivation level below ten thousand years were all forced to prostrate themselves on the ground, emitting terrified whimpers. Even spirit beasts with a cultivation level above ten thousand years trembled. Only spirit beasts with a cultivation level of one hundred thousand years or more could barely resist this oppressive force.

From the perspective of others, the confrontation between Xu Zihuang and Di Tian presents a strange mirror image.

Xu Zihuang and Di Tian were similar in stature, with equally cold and stern faces, and even their majestic kingly aura was comparable. After all, Xu Zihuang's current identity was the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, while the Beast God Di Tian was the undisputed king of the Soul Beast World.

Behind them, long black hair fluttered in the wind, with streaks of purple and gold blending symmetrically. This symmetry extended to the deep purple dragon claws and the brilliant gold dragon god claws.

As if it had been pre-arranged, strange phenomena suddenly appeared behind the two of them at the same time.
