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

Xu Zihuang's expression turned cold, and he held the Golden Dragon Spear horizontally in front of him, blocking the purplish-black sword light that Di Tian was slashing down.

At the same time, he suddenly raised his left hand, and a deep black light began to gather in the center of his palm, forming a black vortex that rotated counterclockwise.

"Om-"

A strange buzzing sound rang out, and Xiong Jun's all-out Sky-Tearing Claw was shattered by an invisible force without the slightest pause, turning into specks of golden light that scattered in the air, and the torn sky closed up as a result.

Then, the black vortex spinning in Xu Zihuang's palm suddenly changed direction and aimed at Xiong Jun.

How can this be? !

Before Xiong Jun could recover from the shock, it found its body being uncontrollably pulled toward Xu Zihuang's location.

This invisible force made it feel as if it was powerless to resist.

"Bastard!" Xiong Jun struggled frantically with a violent and terrified look in its eyes, its whole body shining with a dazzling golden light, but no matter how it struggled, it could not get rid of this strange and invisible attraction.

Xu Zihuang controlled Xiong Jun's body, imprisoning him in mid-air. Then, the black vortex in his left palm changed its direction of rotation once again.

"Boom—" Xiong Jun's body was also sent flying backward in that instant. The terrifying impact and speed even caused a sonic boom in the air. Xiong Jun was thrown dozens of kilometers away, passing over the heads of the soul beast army. As he passed through a forest, he smashed countless thick trees.

The soul beasts surrounding the southern gate of Shrek felt a chill run through their bodies.

This is the power that the Demon Emperor's left arm soul bone granted Xu Zihuang to his two soul skills. These two soul skills allowed him to control gravity and repulsion respectively. If properly developed, their use would be incredibly profound.

When Xiong Jun rashly attacked Xu Zihuang, Di Tian's eyes showed no joy. Instead, he was extremely angry and let out a loud dragon roar, returning to his original form.

"Bear Lord, when did I give you permission to interfere in this battle?!"

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, over a thousand meters long, hovered high in the sky and launched another attack on Xu Zihuang.

Six red and one gold spirit rings circled around Xu Zihuang. The dark gold seventh spirit ring shone brightly, radiating an aura of majesty and ferocity.

Xu Zihuang's second martial soul, a martial soul with a million-year soul ring, will also be showcased here.

Chapter 540 Taking Everything Back for Her

Xu Zihuang gripped the Golden Dragon Spear horizontally, merging it into the spatial rift. The light from his dark golden seventh spirit ring instantly spread throughout his body. Then, his body began to undergo a tremendous transformation.

"Roar—" The majestic and resounding dragon roar echoed through the sky, lingering endlessly.

Thick, sharply defined dragon scales covered every inch of Xu Zihuang's skin, his entire body surrounded by blackish-purple lightning and deep purple flames, making him extremely mystical. The lightning and flames appeared distinct, yet they would subtly merge, forming a black halo with annihilating properties.

A pair of enormous dragon wings unfurled from his back, and Xu Zihuang transformed into a giant dragon over a thousand meters long.

Purple Thunder Dragon, True Form of Martial Soul!

Both Xu Zihuang's transformed Purple Thunder Prison Dragon and Di Tian's true form, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, raised their heads and roared, the mirror image feeling still lingering. This was because the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon also had golden eyes and black scales.

The black scales are the true form of Xu Zihuang's second martial soul, corresponding to the annihilation attribute resulting from the perfect fusion of ultimate lightning and the destruction attribute. Although both are black dragon scales, the annihilation attribute of Xu Zihuang's martial soul true form and the darkness attribute of Di Tian's true form give people completely different feelings.

Di Tian's dark attribute leans towards an unfathomable aura, with purplish-black currents swirling around him, darkening the sky. Xu Zihuang's annihilation attribute, on the other hand, is far more domineering, directly dissolving the surrounding light into nothingness. Ultimately, light is also a form of energy.

However, around Xu Zihuang's true form of the Purple Thunder Dragon, there were still black and purple lightning arcs leaping and deep purple flames swirling around.

As for the golden eyes of the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon's true form, they resembled the Golden Eye Martial Soul.

Although this cannot be called a true self-fusion martial soul technique, Xu Zihuang's ability to use two martial souls simultaneously, supported by the Yin-Yang complementary three-soul core, has already begun to possess the power of a self-fusion martial soul technique.

Ultimate lightning, destruction, annihilation, time, space, and spirit. Each of the six attributes possessed by the two martial souls is reflected in this. These six attributes can be perfectly fused and combined according to his will.

Sensing the aura emanating from Xu Zihuang in his Martial Soul True Form state, Di Tian's pupils contracted sharply. He was the son of the previous Dark Dragon King, possessing the purest dragon bloodline, yet Xu Zihuang remained completely unaffected by his bloodline aura. Combined with the destructive dragon claw that had previously blocked his Dragon God Claw attack, a memory from ancient times involuntarily flashed through his mind.

Besides the nine Dragon Kings known to the world, there is a tenth Dragon King who does not exist in the world, the Radiant Dragon King.

The Radiant Dragon King was not created by the Dragon God himself, but was born alongside the Dragon God, a combination of the Dragon God's dark side. The Radiant Dragon King's combat power surpasses that of the Nine Great Dragon Kings, and it is not suppressed by the Dragon God's bloodline aura, because it is itself a part of the Dragon God.

Di Tian's mind raced. He was almost blinded by rage, but he finally regained his senses. His dragon claws tore through space, and he vanished into the void.

The Purple Thunder Prison Dragon that Xu Zihuang had transformed into had its bright golden eyes, which were engraved with obscure and complex patterns, flash with light. Then, its gaze sharpened and locked onto a space to its side.

With a thought, he suddenly turned halfway around. A seven-colored light flashed past him in an instant.

Di Tian's true form also emerged from the spatial rift, his right claw gleaming with seven-colored light. It was none other than the Dragon God's Claw.

Fire, wind, water, earth, light, darkness, and space. The fluctuations of these seven elements appeared simultaneously and erupted in an extremely powerful and chaotic manner.

The massive dragon tail swung, and the black-purple lightning arcs and deep purple destructive flames around Xu Zihuang's body instantly intensified, forming a special light shield that blocked the power of the seven elements erupting from the Emperor Heaven Dragon God Claw.

During this process, Xu Zihuang's true form, the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon, also flashed and appeared above Di Tian's head, opening its dragon head and spewing out a cloud of black dragon breath.

Soul Masters who possess exceptionally powerful dragon-type martial souls will gain control of the dragon's breath ability after breaking through to the seventh-ring Soul Saint realm. Elder Mu and Long Xiaoyao possessed this ability, and Xu Zihuang's martial soul quality would only be stronger than theirs, so he would naturally be no exception.

For example, the White-Armored Earth Dragon Martial Soul inherited by the Holy Dragon Clan requires a Soul Skill to control the ability of dragon breath. This demonstrates the natural advantages brought by top-tier Martial Souls.

Di Tian dared not be careless and roared angrily.

A huge phantom of a black dragon's head appeared out of thin air in front of him, and then swallowed the dragon breath that Xu Zihuang spewed out.

The binding force of spatial attributes and the corrosive power of dark attributes merged together, briefly holding off the annihilating dragon breath. Meanwhile, Di Tian once again disappeared into the spatial rift, avoiding Xu Zihuang's successive attacks.

Space flickered as two golden-eyed black dragons appeared and clashed repeatedly. Each collision ended with a sudden separation. The energy fluctuations from each collision grew increasingly powerful, intertwining and soaring upwards to a height of ten thousand meters.

This place is an absolute forbidden zone for life. Even among human Soul Masters, the Limit Douluo has never been able to reach this place. Only those who have mastered the Yin-Yang complementary dual Soul Cores have a chance to survive here.

Looking up from Shrek City, the sky appeared as a completely distorted space. The colors in the sky constantly changed, sometimes flashing with seven-colored light, sometimes filled with black and purple lightning, deep purple flames, and pitch-black specks.

Despite being thousands of meters apart, it still suppressed the people and soul beast army in Shrek City below, preventing them from making any rash moves.

They were all well aware that this battle would determine the fate of both sides.

Just then, a magnificent golden-red fire phoenix swept from the east towards Shrek City, landing on the city wall of the south gate. The golden-red flames dissipated, revealing Ma Xiaotao's fiery figure.

Looking at the densely packed soul beasts outside the South Gate, the resentment she felt from being abandoned by Xu Zihuang halfway through the journey dissipated by more than half.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion all noticed the strange phenomenon here.

"Xiao Tao?! Is it really you?!" Zhang Lexuan exclaimed and stepped forward to grab Ma Xiao Tao's wrist.

Ma Xiaotao had always held Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, in the highest esteem. Her icy expression softened instantly, replaced by a look of affection.

"Senior Sister."

Then Ma Xiaotao noticed the group of Sea God Pavilion elders behind Zhang Lexuan, as well as her teacher Yan Shaozhe, Elder Xuan, and Elder Mu.

When she saw Elder Mu, she even forgot to bow to Yan Shaozhe, and opened her red lips in surprise and delight.

"Elder Mu?! You—"

Judging from Yan Shaozhe's relationship, Elder Mu can be considered Ma Xiaotao's direct grandmaster. Ma Xiaotao also frequently received guidance from Elder Mu from a young age. Among the inner courtyard disciples, she and Zhang Lexuan had the deepest bond with Elder Mu.

"Xiao Tao, it's good to see you back." Old Mu smiled slightly and said, "I once divined for you back then, and it turned out that you were a blessed person. Now it seems that all of this has come true. A titled Douluo at less than thirty years old, your talent is even better than mine back then."

"But I'm still far inferior to that guy," Ma Xiaotao muttered somewhat dejectedly, displaying the typical girlish demeanor. In front of these close elders, she seemed to have reverted to her usual self.

Yan Shaozhe's gaze sharpened slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Elder Xuan spoke first.

"Xiao Tao, did you come back with Tian Huang?"

"Yes."

Ma Xiaotao nodded, puzzled, and said frankly, "He's the one who brought me back."

Old Mu raised his hand to stop Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe, who were about to say something, and said gently to Ma Xiaotao with a calm expression, "Xiaotao, tell us about your experiences over the years."

Ma Xiaotao looked up at the two black dragons clashing in the sky and roughly understood the current situation.

Given Xu Zihuang's terrifying strength previously displayed, capable of contending with the Beast God Di Tian, ​​she wasn't surprised. Moreover, with Elder Mu and Elder Xuan still in charge within Shrek City, the current situation should be relatively stable.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, Ma Xiaotao recounted her experiences over the years without any concealment, including Xu Zihuang's arrival on the Star Sea Continent, his killing of the Demon Emperor, and his successful absorption of his soul ring and soul bone.

Besides Xiong Jun, several other ferocious beasts from the soul beast side also gathered together, keeping a close eye on the battle ten thousand meters in the sky. It's no exaggeration to say that the rise and fall of their soul beasts hinges on this battle.

Right now, the bloodline of the Emperor Beast and the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest have been stolen by those despicable humans. If something unexpected happens to Di Tian, ​​the Star Dou Great Forest will never have a chance to recover.

The Crimson King's three giant heads let out a deep and unbelievable roar.

"Why is this human so powerful that he can suppress Di Tian?"

Although the Crimson King's cultivation was only a little over 300,000 years, making it one of the weakest beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, it still possessed a certain level of insight. Di Tian was now completely at a disadvantage, and the human soul master even seemed to be handling it with ease.

If it hadn't witnessed this fact with its own eyes, it would never have believed that Di Tian could be so thoroughly suppressed by a human soul master.

Brigitte's beautiful emerald green eyes gleamed with an unusual light, her gaze complex yet tinged with worry.

The world of soul beasts has always revered strength. It's not incomprehensible that someone as powerful as Xu Zihuang could attract auspicious beasts. However, if given the chance, she would prefer to know the specific details.

They fear that something might happen to Di Tian today, causing their Star Dou Great Forest to lose its last hope.

The Demon King in human form was a middle-aged man with a somewhat bluish complexion. He wasn't particularly handsome, and even his eyes were a chilling turquoise, a completely different kind of beautiful turquoise from Bi Ji's.

He looked up at the sky, his gloomy expression instantly replaced by astonishment.

Ten thousand meters in the sky, Di Tian made a grasping motion with his right claw towards Xu Zihuang. A brilliant seven-colored light shone forth, rendering his massive golden-eyed black dragon king form the same seven colors. A gigantic seven-colored dragon claw silently appeared, reaching for Xu Zihuang's transformed form, the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon.

Xu Zihuang activated the Radiant Dragon Claw, extending it forward. On the basis of the original destructive attribute energy, it also incorporated five attribute energies: ultimate lightning, annihilation, spirit, time, and space, as well as the spacetime power resulting from the fusion of time and space attributes.

Compared to Di Tian's Dragon God Claw, every attribute contained in the Radiant Dragon Claw can be called a superior attribute, inherently stronger than basic attributes such as wind, fire, water, and earth. Moreover, the power of annihilation and the power of spacetime are both composite attributes resulting from the fusion of two superior attributes.

Because of the harmonizing effect of the spiritual attribute, the power of annihilation and the power of spacetime can coexist with the other five attributes.

The seven-colored light and shadow conjured by the Dragon God's Claw stalemated for a moment before being instantly shattered by the Radiant Dragon Claw. This Radiant Dragon Claw, containing seven superior attribute energies, directly struck Di Tian's true form.

A seven-colored light, distinct from the Dragon God's Claw, began to flash continuously on Di Tian's body, which plummeted downwards under an indescribable, terrifying impact. Its speed was so great that it seemed to pierce through layers upon layers of space.

The people in Shrek City, as well as the army of soul beasts, all stared blankly.

They never imagined that the Beast God Di Tian, ​​who had ruled the Star Dou Great Forest for hundreds of thousands of years and was known as the number one ferocious beast on the continent, would be defeated in such an absolutely crushing manner.

"Boom!"

Di Tian crashed heavily onto the ground outside Shrek City. Centered on his body, the ground within a radius of several kilometers collapsed, forming a huge crater. Smoke and dust billowed, lingering and refusing to dissipate.

Xu Zihuang swooped down from the sky, his Martial Soul True Body dissipating into countless specks of light during the descent. Restored to his original form, he stopped above Di Tian's enormous black dragon head and calmly spoke.

"Di Tian, ​​lead the soul beast army to retreat. I said I would give you an explanation regarding the auspicious beasts."

Because of Wang Qiu'er's connection, he didn't use his full strength when facing Di Tian from the very beginning. Moreover, because of his appearance, Di Tian didn't slaughter innocent civilians in Shrek City like the Demon Emperor did; he had no need to kill anyone at Di Tian's hands.

He already had better options for the last two spirit rings of his second spirit.

"Confess?" Di Tian, ​​his aura waning, raised his massive head, his golden eyes fixed on Xu Zihuang. He was surprisingly calm now, his voice filled with mockery and bitterness.

"The auspicious beast became pregnant because of you, and its bloodline and soul were taken by you humans. Now you expect me to give you an explanation?"

Upon hearing Di Tian's words, Xu Zihuang could no longer maintain his composure and calmness, and an unparalleled terrifying aura emanated from his body.
