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

Rising behind the Beast God Di Tian was a strange spectacle of a sun and a moon. The sun was black, and the moon was purple. The sun and moon converged and shone brightly. Di Tian's already terrifying aura continued to rise at an astonishing speed. The dark clouds in the sky churned violently, as if they could crush Shrek City below into dust in the next instant.

The black sun and purple moon are celestial phenomena that only occur when the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores are activated. Heaven is Yang, and Earth is Yin. The complementarity of Yin and Yang is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth.

This shows that Di Tian did not use his full strength when dealing with Elder Xuan and Elder Mu.

Xu Zihuang stared directly into Di Tian's cold, murderous yet suspicious gaze without flinching, while a strange phenomenon appeared behind him.

A noble and dazzling golden sun, a majestic and domineering purple moon, and a vast black starry sky against the backdrop of the golden sun and purple moon. This is the true extraordinary phenomenon that can only occur when the Yin-Yang complementary three soul cores are activated, an unprecedented existence.

"A Yin-Yang complementary three-soul core?!" Di Tian's expression changed drastically, his golden eyes filled with disbelief.

How could a human soul master, with their frail physical body, possibly cultivate a Yin-Yang complementary three-soul core?!

The situation has now been completely reversed. If the Yin-Yang complementary dual-soul core is like a dimensional reduction attack on the same-position resonance dual-soul core, then there is also an insurmountable gap between the Yin-Yang complementary dual-soul core and the Yin-Yang complementary triple-soul core.

The vast starry sky phenomenon of the golden sun and purple moon behind Xu Zihuang remained stable, but streaks of black light kept flashing around Di Tian. From within those black lights, one could see specks of dazzling starlight. They were clearly spatial rifts.

Moreover, these spatial rifts became clearer and more numerous as the confrontation between the two continued. After a short while, the space around Di Tian was filled with blackness, and the space became extremely unstable, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Di Tian's eyes shone brightly with golden light, and then, both surprised and furious, he let out a high-pitched dragon roar, his figure transforming into a black stream of light and disappearing into the void.

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble—" In that instant, this space collapsed completely amidst layers of shattering, forming a deep, dark void that was difficult to heal for a long time.

Just as Di Tian emerged from the void of the black space, he reappeared in the sky thousands of meters away, looking solemnly at Xu Zihuang in the distance.

After personally confronting Xu Zihuang, even if he found it hard to accept, he had to admit that Xu Zihuang had indeed cultivated the Yin-Yang complementary three-soul core.

This scene shocked everyone in Shrek City and the powerful soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian was completely outmatched in a one-on-one confrontation, and his opponent was a human Soul Master! How could this be?!

They find it especially difficult to accept ferocious beasts like Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Chi Wang.

Looking at Xu Zihuang, who stood in front of them and repelled the Beast God Di Tian, ​​Elder Mu and Elder Xuan were filled with mixed emotions, and their expressions were extremely complicated.

"Tianhuang..." Elder Mu called out softly, his gaze kind. But then he shook his head bitterly.

If Xu Zihuang were here in the same identity as Yu Tianhuang back then, how gratifying that would be for him. But alas, these are destined to remain just lingering thoughts in his heart. Some things are already beyond redemption.

Compared to Elder Mu, Elder Xuan had far more things he wanted to confront Xu Zihuang about face-to-face. His face pale, he immediately clutched his chest with his right hand and questioned him in a low voice.

"Since you have already declared war on our original Douluo Continent, why bother helping us today? Wouldn't it be more to your liking to let Di Tian lead the soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest to destroy Shrek City?"

Although Elder Xuan said this, he was clearly not being sincere and still held onto a last glimmer of hope for Xu Zihuang.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion were also very concerned about Xu Zihuang's reply. To them, Xu Zihuang's reply was even more important than resisting the beast tide.

Xu Zihuang never turned around, remaining with his back to the people in Shrek City, his deep eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Although we have different positions, I have indeed received the kindness of Shrek Academy during my more than ten years there. Honestly, I cannot stand idly by and watch what happened today. Moreover, as a human, how can I sit idly by and watch soul beasts slaughter innocent civilians in the city? If I cannot even uphold this bottom line, then I am not worthy of being called human."

"Elder Mu, I will stop this beast tide and prevent it from affecting the countless civilians in Shrek City. This can be considered as repaying the kindness of your guidance and protection back then." Xu Zihuang slowly raised his head, raised the golden dragon spear in his hand, and dazzling golden light burst out from it. The sharp golden spear tip was pointed at the Beast God Di Tian opposite him.

"Di Tian, ​​I will personally give you an explanation regarding the Imperial Beast. Stop now."

Di Tian and Xu Zihuang had already gone all out in their fight, and he couldn't afford to be distracted during the process, which is why he only now recognized the golden dragon spear in Xu Zihuang's hand.

However, what truly drove him to the brink of emotional collapse was the familiar bloodline aura within Xu Zihuang's body. This bloodline aura was the very source of the small life within the mythical beast's belly.

"It was you?! You're the one who tricked the auspicious beast?!" Di Tian roared furiously, completely unwilling to listen to Xu Zihuang's explanation, and even less willing to believe that Xu Zihuang could give him a satisfactory account.

Di Tian raised his right hand high, and the golden-eyed black dragon king phantom behind him, over a thousand meters long, converged on his right arm like a whale swallowing water. When his arm was above his head, a giant sword already appeared in his hand.

This giant sword has a hilt that is three feet long, and the blade itself is eight feet long. The hilt is black, and it is shaped like a coiled black dragon. The blade is dark purple.

The moment the black dragon sword appeared, its terrifying sword intent cleaved the sky in two. Rings of black light flickered behind Di Tian, ​​as if the darkness itself was about to devour everything in the world.

The dark purple light transformed into a dazzling rainbow, slashing downwards.

Xu Zihuang seemed to have anticipated Di Tian's reaction, his expression remaining calm and composed. The golden dragon spear he held in his right hand shimmered with purple-gold lightning at one end, while the other end transformed into something resembling a translucent deep purple crystal, surrounded by deep purple flames.

He imbued the two tips of the Golden Dragon Spear with the effects of the Thunder God's Spear and the Destruction Spear, respectively. At the center of the Golden Dragon Spear, extreme lightning and destructive flames merged, forming a domineering annihilation power.

A golden dragon spear, yet it possesses the power of three attributes simultaneously.

A purplish-black sword light cleaved through the void, creating a massive rift that crashed down towards Xu Zihuang. This wasn't just dark power; Di Tian had also infused it with spatial power.

Xu Zihuang did not dodge, but simply raised the Golden Dragon Spear and met Di Tian's sword light head-on.

Purple-gold lightning, deep purple flames, and black specks of light—all sorts of strange phenomena appeared behind him at the same time.

The black crack that suddenly appeared in the sky vanished in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zihuang appeared in front of Di Tian in an instant, thrusting the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand toward Di Tian's left chest.

Since Di Tian wouldn't give him a chance to explain, he could only forcefully suppress Di Tian and force him to obey.

Chapter 539 Soul Bone Skills: Gravity Control and Repulsion Control

Seeing Xu Zihuang wielding the Golden Dragon Spear so skillfully, Di Tian's anger intensified.

If Xu Zihuang hadn't seized the golden dragon bloodline from the auspicious beast, how could he have gained the Golden Dragon Spear's approval?!

Di Tian snorted coldly, holding the Black Dragon Sword horizontally in front of him, which made contact with the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear, which was imbued with the ultimate lightning properties.

"Clang—" A crisp sound rang out from the air.

There was a momentary pause, then the space above Shrek City seemed to boil. One after another, purple bubbles appeared out of thin air, burst, and transformed into purple raging waves that converged towards the central area where Xu Zihuang was located, before swirling and soaring into the sky.

Di Tian fully demonstrated the corrupting properties of his dark elemental attributes.

However, the sky, filled with terrifying and extremely dark energy, quickly returned to calm.

Countless arcs of purple-gold lightning danced within, the domineering ultimate lightning instantly dispelling the purple vortex. In an instant, the world changed color, as if the will of the entire world was controlled by Xu Zihuang, frantically pressing towards Di Tian.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—" Xu Zihuang's golden dragon spear and Di Tian's black dragon sword clashed continuously.

Neither side used any other powerful soul skills for the time being, and they continued this highly entertaining close-quarters combat. If it weren't for the astonishing phenomena and terrifying energy fluctuations in the sky, it would be hard for anyone to believe that Xu Zihuang and Di Tian were fighting to the death.

Di Tian wielded the Black Dragon Sword, his attacks primarily powered by dark energy, supplemented by spatial power. Xu Zihuang, on the other hand, barely used the abilities of his Golden Eye Martial Soul. His second Martial Soul, the Purple Emperor Thunder Prison Dragon, possessed innate ultimate lightning, destruction, and the annihilation attribute resulting from their perfect fusion, which was enough to suppress Di Tian.

Besides the purple-gold lightning arcs, countless deep purple flames of destruction and annihilation-attribute light spots, capable of erasing everything in the world, also appeared in the sky above Shrek City, accompanied by Xu Zihuang wielding the Golden Dragon Spear. All of these possessed terrifying, world-destroying power.

The battle between Xu Zihuang and Di Tian was practically the pinnacle of human soul masters versus soul beasts.

Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, and the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion were forced to retreat back to the city wall of Shrek City's south gate.

They were all the people who knew Xu Zihuang best, but their feelings were also the most complicated.

Elder Mu reached out and patted Elder Xuan on the shoulder, letting out a soft sigh.

"Xuanzi, things have come to this point, and there's no point in saying more. At least Tianhuang is willing to appreciate this friendship, and our efforts in saving Shrek City from disaster have not been in vain. As for the war to come, the academy can stand firm on its position, but if the tide is irreversible, we should not engage in meaningless resistance. Shaozhe, Lin'er, I know you are both stubborn, and I am saying these words to you as well."

"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er called out in unison.

Xian Lin'er's face was filled with grief, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks. The appearance of Elder Mu had indeed brought her mixed feelings of joy and surprise. But upon reflection, she understood what was going on.

Elder Mu clearly merged his soul into the Golden Tree, which allowed him to remain immortal and continue protecting Shrek Academy in the future. However, this also meant that Elder Mu completely lost the opportunity to reincarnate, and decades later, his soul power would be assimilated by the Golden Tree.

When that time comes, Elder Mu will truly disappear from this world.

Compared to Xian Lin'er, Yan Shaozhe was able to barely control his emotions, but his eyes were full of resentment.

"Teacher, you have dedicated your entire life to the academy. How can we stand by and watch the academy be swallowed up by the Sun Moon Empire?"

Elder Mu's expression immediately turned serious, and he scolded Yan Shaozhe, "Foolish! Don't you understand yet? Shrek Academy is ultimately just an academy. As long as the academy's tradition is not broken, there are infinite possibilities for the future."

Yan Shaozhe lowered his head and remained silent, while Elder Mu glanced at Zhang Lexuan beside him. His kind eyes seemed to hold a hint of something inexplicable.

"Le Xuan".

"Old Master Mu!" Zhang Lexuan called out softly, her eyes slightly reddening. Old Master Mu had avenged her when she was young and raised her; this genuine affection was absolutely true.

A faint smile appeared on Elder Mu's illusory face, though he felt a pang of shame. But for the future of Shrek Academy, he had no other choice.

"Le Xuan, I once told you that I didn't want you to be bound by anything, but now I'm afraid I have to go back on my word." Old Mu chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said sincerely.

"I hope that you will succeed me as the dean of Shrek Academy in the future. This is my final request."

If the Sun Moon Empire hadn't launched the war, Zhang Lexuan would have undoubtedly succeeded as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy, following the normal procedure. Although she didn't yet understand Elder Mu's intentions, she still agreed, her red lips trembling as she spoke.

"Elder Mu, I promise you."

"Ancestor Xuan!" Bei Bei and Tang Ya arrived at the scene.

Beibei, who had always believed that Elder Mu had passed away, was now in tears. Tang Ya was the same, holding Beibei's right hand tightly.

"Elder Mu."

Old Master Mu looked at the two of them with a kind smile.

Most of the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy who were familiar with Xu Zihuang were still in shock. Although they had heard some things about Xu Zihuang's true identity, witnessing the clash between Xu Zihuang and Di Tian was still incredibly shocking.

For example, Wu Ming, Chu Qingtian, and Ye Liu. They either don't have families, or their ties to families are not deep, so they stay in the inner academy of Shrek Academy to study. After graduating from the inner academy, they will directly become teachers or teaching assistants at Shrek Academy.

Wu Ming and his two companions were among the few inner-court students who had interacted with Xu Zihuang and remained at Shrek Academy.

Of the Shrek Academy inner disciples who were in the same year as Xu Zihuang, only Xie Huanyue, Xiao Xiao, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan remain. The passage of time and the outbreak of war on the continent have already altered their fates, making it unlikely they will ever cross paths again. There's a palpable sense of things having changed.

At this moment, Xie Huanyue, Xiao Xiao, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan were also greatly shocked. As peers, the impact was even more intense.

The soul beast army was also shocked by Xu Zihuang's terrifying strength and dared not make any further moves. They stopped and maintained their distance from the south gate of Shrek City. Furthermore, Elder Mu and Elder Xuan of Shrek Academy were both free to attack, and if they continued to launch an assault on Shrek City, they would only suffer heavy losses for no reason.

The Emerald Swan, Biji, and the Crimson King, hovering above the army of soul beasts, looked on with worry at Di Tian and Xu Zihuang battling high in the sky. Among the four ferocious beasts, they were the most loyal to Di Tian.

Moreover, they were very concerned after learning that the bloodline aura of the little life inside the auspicious beast's belly originated from Xu Zihuang.

The Demon King, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.

Only Xiong Jun seemed restless, its eyes flashing with ferocity, its dark golden claws constantly extending and retracting. It was weighing the pros and cons.

Although the soul beasts are currently united against external forces, if Di Tian were to perish here, its formidable combat power would immediately allow it to take Di Tian's place in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, Xiong Jun is currently unaware of the existence of the Silver Dragon King.

However, it quickly dismissed the idea. The bloodline of the auspicious beast and the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest had been stolen by humans. Even if it replaced Di Tian as the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, it would probably find it difficult to contend with those despicable humans in the future.

Di Tian cannot afford to lose this battle!

With this in mind, the bear made a decisive decision. It seized the opportunity and swung its sharp claws once more.

"go to hell!"

Ten dark golden claws swept across the sky, instantly tearing it apart. A dark spatial rift, almost spanning across space, appeared before Xu Zihuang, generating a tremendous suction force.

Sky tearing claw!
