The battle situation began to tilt decisively to one side, leaving Ning Zhiyuan frantic with anxiety.
But in the end, he was merely a Soul Saint.
No matter how prestigious his status was, in a battle between Extreme Douluo, he remained insignificant—utterly powerless to turn the tide.
Seeing that before long the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect would be completely annihilated, Xuanzi, who had been watching from the sidelines outside, revealed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.
Kill.Kill them all.
That's right—this world allows no one to challenge Shrek's authority.
Heavenly Court can't.The Body Sect can't.And the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect certainly can't.
Suddenly, Xuanzi's aged face stiffened. The smile vanished instantly as he turned his gaze toward the west.
There, more than thirty figures were flying through the air.
They were the reinforcements of the Body Sect.
Leading them was Sect Master Du Bu Si, accompanied by all twelve of the Body Sect's Titled Douluo, along with Soul Douluo and several high-level Soul Saints.
Of course, the main force was still following behind.
Very quickly, the group led by Du Bu Si arrived outside Heavenly Court's protective sect barrier, facing off against the alliance soul masters led by Shrek.
At that very moment, the space in front of Xuanzi rippled slightly.
Then—
An elderly man clad in black robes appeared before him.
He had thin, elongated eyebrows, graying hair, and an air of detached elegance, like an immortal hermit.
"Long Xiaoyao," Du Bu Si said coldly. "You filthy rats actually dare to meddle as well?"
Seeing Long Xiaoyao, Du Bu Si's pupils shrank, killing intent surging violently in his eyes.
Long Xiaoyao's expression remained indifferent.
He had heard similar words from Huo Yuhao before.
It had to be said—those two truly deserved to be called master and disciple. Their mouths were equally sharp.
Just as Long Xiaoyao was about to retort—
Another sudden change occurred.
Heavenly Court's Soul Sect barrier automatically dissipated.
It turned out that the Ice Empress had also noticed the arrival of the Body Sect. However, the Body Sect's numbers were too small. Though they were all elites, they still couldn't withstand being swarmed.
Thus, the Ice Empress decisively ordered the barrier withdrawn.
Aside from a portion of Heavenly Court members still finishing off the remnants of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, the rest—under the Ice Empress's command—charged straight toward the alliance soul masters.
"All members of the Body Sect—kill!"
At this point, there was no need for verbal sparring.
There was no longer any possibility of reconciliation.
Only slaughter.
Long Xiaoyao moved to meet Du Bu Si, his expression calm. In his eyes, Du Bu Si was nothing more than a rising junior.
Though both were Extreme Douluo, Du Bu Si was newly advanced. Compared to him, an old-established powerhouse, there was still a gap.
Meanwhile, Xuanzi intercepted the Snow Empress as she descended.
With a single glance, Xuanzi saw the Sword Douluo lying on the ground below like a dead dog, and nearby, Ning Zhiyuan weeping uncontrollably.
Both were Rank 98.
The Sword Douluo's death stirred a sense of shared tragedy in Xuanzi—when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves.
The Sword Douluo couldn't stop the Snow Empress. Logically, neither could he.
But if Elder Mu were assisting—then it would be another matter.
Nine soul rings rose into the air, and the seventh soul ring instantly lit up.
Xuanzi's body expanded and twisted as he dropped to all fours.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a massive dark brown divine ox, spiraled horns on its head, stepping atop auspicious clouds—
The Taotie Divine Bull.
Facing the Snow Empress, Xuanzi dared not show the slightest negligence. He activated his Martial Soul True Body right from the start.
But it wasn't over yet.
After transforming into the Taotie Divine Bull, a layer of blue-golden light shimmered across his body.
At that moment—
The Light of the Sea God descended.
Stimulated by the Sea God's Light, the Taotie bloodline within Xuanzi was temporarily refined. The mixed ox bloodline was suppressed, while the pure Taotie bloodline was amplified.
Under the influence of this bloodline awakening, Xuanzi's Taotie Divine Bull form changed yet again.
The previously crouching body stood upright.
The bull hooves gradually transformed into human-like hands.
Under each armpit, mist surged forth as a massive bull's eye emerged on either side.
His face elongated and became narrow and refined.
His body shrank slightly, resembling a grotesque fusion of man and sheep.
A massive mouth split all the way to the ears, revealing sword-like tiger fangs.
A sheep's body, a human face, tiger teeth, and human claws—
At this moment, the pure-blood Taotie Xuanzi had dreamed of finally descended upon him.
Ancient, savage beastly might erupted violently from his body.
The Snow Empress frowned slightly.
She actually felt a faint suppression—
Bloodline suppression.
Fortunately, she was the Ice Snow Maiden. Strictly speaking, she wasn't a beast but a spirit being.
If she were replaced by a dragon, the suppression would have been far more severe.
Emperor's Cold Heaven — Snow Dance, Radiant Sun!
The temperature across Heavenly Court's territory plummeted instantly.
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky.
Feeling the Taotie's suppression, the Snow Empress no longer cared whether her domain would affect others.
The ice sword in her hand flared with terrifying cold, as horrifying energy continued to gather upon it.
Xuanzi, naturally, would not sit idly by.
At this moment, his body began to grow even larger.
The Taotie opened its enormous mouth, spewing a massive surge of golden light from its foul, fang-filled maw.
The golden light converged and twisted midair, transforming into a gigantic head—
Identical in appearance to the Taotie itself.
The massive head opened its mouth wide.
A terrifying suction force erupted from within.
Large swathes of snowflakes and icy energy were dragged inside—
Even several nearby soul masters were pulled in as well.
Through the slightly illusory head, everyone present could vaguely see that those unlucky enough to be sucked inside were instantly digested—
Shredded into clouds of blood mist and minced flesh.
Soul masters locked in chaotic battle nearby noticed the scene and were terrified out of their minds.
They hurriedly retreated from the battlefield.
Are you kidding?
That's eating people.
This is fucking horrifying.
Xuanzi was a veteran Super Douluo.
With the assistance of the Sea God's Light and the suppression of his Taotie bloodline—
He actually managed to temporarily force the Snow Empress into a stalemate.
Meanwhile, the Body Sect had already clashed with the alliance soul masters.
Yang Poshān主动 engaged the Golden Body Douluo.
Yang Poshān was Rank 97.
Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng had originally been Rank 96—but now, astonishingly, he was also Rank 97.
Give him two more years, and breaking through to Rank 98 was entirely possible.
That was because Jin Peng was one of only two Golden-level second-awakening cultivators in the older generation of the Body Sect besides Du Bu Si.
This meant his potential ceiling was extremely high.
Huo Yuhao hailed from the Body Sect. He would never forget the kindness of these senior figures.
And with the Netherworld Realm now under Du Bu Si's control, they naturally wouldn't be stingy toward their own people.
As of now—
Among the Body Sect's Titled Douluo, not a single one had a ninth soul ring that wasn't red.
Elsewhere, Yu Tianming intercepted Spirit Sound Douluo Ran Hongyue.
Both were Rank 95.
Ran Hongyue was relatively young—a peak Rank 95, only half a step away from Rank 96.
Like Huo Yuhao, she was a spiritual-type soul master.
However, she attacked using sound waves.
Though inferior in quality to Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes, she was still an extremely troublesome and unconventional opponent at the same rank.
Yu Tianming's martial soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, an overwhelmingly domineering strength-type martial soul.
By all logic, it had little to do with spiritual combat.
The reason he was chosen to face Ran Hongyue was because his eighth soul ring came from a mutated soul beast—
Granting him formidable physical power while also bestowing him with respectable spiritual attacks.
Even so, it still wasn't enough.
Thus, before coming, Shrek and the others had paid an enormous price to acquire several Rank 8 soul tools and one Rank 9 soul tool for Yu Tianming.
Without exception, all were spiritual-defense soul tools.
All of them came from the Sun Moon Empire.
It had to be said—they truly had connections everywhere.
And they were willing to spend big.
