In the central area where the two armies confronted each other, on the empty ground spanning dozens of kilometers, besides the dense, eerie cracks, there were now over a hundred enormous deep pits.
Under the terrifying pressure generated by the combination of Xu Zihuang's two soul bone skills, ordinary Title Douluo felt their soul power circulation become sluggish, and their Martial Soul True Bodies instantly collapsed. Even the Super Douluo, who barely managed to maintain their Martial Soul True Bodies, found it extremely difficult to move. Just resisting the invisible gravity and repulsive force caused their soul power to be consumed at an alarming rate. As time passed, with one side weakening and the other strengthening, their strength was almost completely suppressed, making it impossible for them to counterattack in time.
The Sea God Pavilion's Elder Song and the Heavenly Sun Douluo from the Dou Ling Empire were in the same situation. Although both were Super Douluo with soul power cultivation at the ninety-seventh level, one was an agility-attack system Battle Soul Master, and the other was a long-range strong-attack system Battle Soul Master. Neither excelled at passive defense like this. Their performance was even inferior to the Super Douluo from the Body Sect.
However, this was only relatively speaking.
Among the Title Douluo from the original Douluo Continent side, those who still had the strength to fight were only the Gluttony Douluo Elder Xuan, the Body Douluo Du Busi, these two Limit Douluo, and the Star Luo Empire imperial family's chief consecrator, the Dark Gold Douluo Elder Yang.
The Dark Gold Douluo Elder Yang's soul power cultivation had reached the ninety-eighth level, only one step away from the Limit Douluo realm. Moreover, his Martial Soul, the Dark Gold Bear, was a subspecies of the top soul beast Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. The Dark Gold Bear had fully inherited the bloodline power and physical strength of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, only lacking that pair of sharp terrorclaws. In terms of defense alone, it was even superior to Elder Xuan's Gluttony Divine Bull Martial Soul.
"Is the heavens truly determined to destroy our Douluo Continent?"
Transformed into the Gluttony Divine Bull, Elder Xuan let out a desolate sigh. His pair of crystal-yellow eyes was filled with despair and dejection. Who could have imagined that in just three short months, Xu Zihuang's strength would become so terrifying.
He could be certain that when Xu Zihuang had suppressed Di Tian back then, he did not yet possess such power.
Compared to Elder Xuan, Du Busi appeared much calmer, but his expression was also gloomy. With a wave of his large hand, the dark green soul power light surging around his body became incomparably brilliant and profound. He roared angrily at Elder Xuan, "Xuanzi, things have already come to this point. Are you really going to back down now?!"
Being scolded like this by Du Busi, Elder Xuan instantly calmed down considerably, his gaze becoming resolute.
He knew that Xu Zihuang remembered the favor from back then and would most likely not do anything to Shrek Academy. But he was from the original Douluo Continent and had to uphold the glory of the Douluo Continent. Even if he perished here, he would have no regrets.
"The glory of Douluo Continent cannot be trampled upon. How can the continent allow foreign races to rule it?!" Elder Xuan raised his bull head high and let out an angry roar toward the sky. The rolling sound waves surged like thunder.
"Old Poison Monster, even you haven't backed down. Why should I fear a fight?!"
"Good! I always thought that you people from Shrek Academy were sanctimonious hypocrites. Even the Dragon God Douluo from back then seemed that way to me. Xuanzi, I didn't expect you to show such spirit today. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, I acknowledge you."
Du Busi laughed loudly as he rose into the air once more alongside Elder Xuan. The dark green giant formed by his Martial Soul True Body instantly swelled violently in the wind.
"You old poisoner, stop putting gold on your own face. Do I need your acknowledgment?!"
Elder Xuan snorted coldly, unwilling to be outdone. The Gluttony Divine Bull he had transformed into also expanded to a length of a thousand meters.
"For the glory of Douluo Continent, even death is without regret!"
"Hahahahaha! Old Poison Monster, Xuanzi, let me lend you a hand as well." Following closely behind the dark green giant and the Gluttony Divine Bull, another dark gold-colored giant bear appeared out of thin air. It was precisely the Dark Gold Douluo Elder Yang.
Even Elder Xuan and Du Busi were not a match for Xu Zihuang in a single exchange. The Dark Gold Douluo knew that this time, he was most likely doomed. But under the current circumstances, he could no longer care about that. If he allowed Elder Xuan and Du Busi to be defeated by Xu Zihuang, that would truly be the end of the original Douluo Continent.
Although the allied forces of the original Douluo Continent had previously felt despair, their faith had not completely collapsed. At this moment, the powerful counterattack launched by Elder Xuan, Du Busi, and Elder Yang finally sparked a sliver of hope in their hearts once more.
Xu Zihuang floated high in the sky, watching the counterattack of the three men with an indifferent expression.
He extended both hands forward, his palms respectively aimed at Du Busi and Elder Xuan, who were charging at the forefront.
In his left palm, black light surged, forming a counterclockwise-rotating black vortex. In front of his right palm, a cluster of yellow light coalesced. Around this yellow light, a similarly distorted, enormous vortex formed. It seemed as though the air itself was being compressed within this terrifying light, and the surrounding air instantly became heavy.
"Buzz—" A strange buzzing sound suddenly rang out. The thousand-meter-tall dark green giant instantly collapsed, and Du Busi's figure was once again forced downward by that invisible repulsive force.
At the same time, a massive yellow light pillar erupted from the yellow vortex in front of Xu Zihuang's right palm.
"Boom—" A terrifyingly powerful explosion thundered. The yellow light pillar collided fiercely with the pair of ox horns on Elder Xuan's Gluttony Divine Bull. After merely holding for a moment, the incomparably sturdy curved ox horns of the Gluttony Divine Bull actually melted away completely within the distorted yellow light.
Elder Xuan's expression changed drastically, but before he could react, his figure was already engulfed by this yellow light pillar. It seemed to span across the heavens and earth.
Not only the allied forces of the three empires from the original Douluo Continent, but even the Sun Moon Empire's army and the assembled powerhouses were shocked, their eyes widening in horror.
Their young and powerful Emperor had not even released his Martial Soul. Relying solely on the skills from his two arm soul bones, he had overwhelmingly suppressed the two Limit Douluo, Elder Xuan and Du Busi.
Xu Zihuang still maintained the posture of pressing down with both hands, his expression calm. The yellow light pillar suppressing Elder Xuan was another soul skill granted by the Titan Giant Ape's right arm soul bone: Titan Sky Cannon.
The Titan Sky Cannon utilized control over gravity to instantly compress the air into terrifying energy, then unleashed a full-powered attack with the strength of the Titan Giant Ape. Moreover, by relying on his control over spatial power, he had further strengthened this soul bone skill to a certain extent.
Seeing Du Busi and Elder Xuan successively heavily injured by Xu Zihuang, the Dark Gold Douluo Elder Yang felt a jolt in his heart. And in the very next instant, six red and three gold soul rings, nine in total, quietly emerged one after another from beneath Xu Zihuang's feet.
Red, red, red, red, red, red, dark gold, earth gold, azure gold.
Xu Zihuang raised his right hand and made a grasping motion toward the Dark Gold Douluo. A massive azure claw shadow instantly appeared in midair, imprisoning the Dark Gold Douluo's figure.
The Dark Gold Douluo felt a pain originating from the depths of his soul surge into his mind, and his entire thought process became sluggish. Everything before his eyes seemed to move countless times slower.
Heavenly Azure Sluggish Divine Claw!
The azure-gold ninth soul ring beside Xu Zihuang then shone brightly. Accompanied by a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering high-pitched dragon roar and the crackling boom of thunder, a dragon-shaped azure-gold lightning descended from the sky toward the Dark Gold Douluo.
Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon's ninth soul skill: Heavenly Azure Annihilation Divine Lightning!
Unlike Niu Tian's innate soul skill, Heavenly Azure Silence Thunder, the Heavenly Azure Annihilation Divine Lightning not only incorporated the annihilation power from Xu Zihuang's second Martial Soul, the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon, but also carried the enhancement of divine power.
This was already a true god-level strike, capable of slaying a god in one blow.
The Dark Gold Douluo's body, covered in steel-needle-like hard dark gold fur, could not provide the slightest resistance against this azure-gold dragon-shaped lightning. With a soft "puff" sound, the azure-gold dragon-shaped lightning quietly disappeared. In just an instant, the Dark Gold Douluo's body had been completely dyed azure-gold.
In the next moment, it turned into a pile of clear ash that scattered with the wind, leaving not a single trace behind.
Meanwhile, Du Busi and Elder Xuan, who had fallen back to the ground, had deathly pale faces. Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths as they stared blankly up at Xu Zihuang in the sky, letting out a bitter smile.
They had spoken so heroically earlier, but only now did they truly realize that they might not even qualify to be Xu Zihuang's opponents. After reaching the Limit Douluo realm, their perception was far more acute. Within Xu Zihuang's soul skills, there was clearly another power mixed in that transcended soul power.
This was an absolute difference in level and class. To Xu Zihuang, Limit Douluo, like Elder Xuan and Du Busi, were no different from ordinary people, both were mere ants in existence.
In the central camp of the original Douluo Continent allied forces, Wei Na, Xu Jiujiu, the White Tiger Duke, Xu Sanshi, Xue Lingxun, and the others felt even deeper despair.
With the Dark Gold Douluo fallen and the Gluttony Douluo Elder Xuan and Body Douluo Du Busi heavily injured, who on the original Douluo Continent could stop Xu Zihuang now? Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire still had Kong Deming, a level-ten soul engineer capable of rivaling a Limit Douluo.
Xu Jiujiu tightly gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands, her delicate body trembling, her eyes red-rimmed, looking pitiful and heart-wrenching.
Is our Star Luo Empire truly going to be destroyed just like this?
The White Tiger Duke Dai Hao collapsed powerlessly back into his chair, seeming to age many years in an instant.
The Dou Ling Empire's princess Xue Lingxun fared no better than Xu Jiujiu. Xu Sanshi hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Xue Lingxun sat in the chair, lightly pressing her forehead, then, as if grasping at the last straw, asked Xu Sanshi in a somewhat incoherent manner, "Sanshi, aren't you quite familiar with that young emperor from the Sun Moon Empire? Can't you ask him to spare our Dou Ling Empire?"
"Mom, you…" The corners of Xu Sanshi's mouth twitched slightly, his face full of speechlessness. If he hadn't known his mother's eccentric personality since childhood, he would have really thought she had gone senile from anxiety.
"I was just saying it casually." Xue Lingxun let out a light sigh. Although she said that, a glint of shrewdness flashed deep in her eyes.
If the situation became hopeless, they should proactively surrender to the Sun Moon Empire. That way, at least the bloodline of their Dou Ling Empire's imperial family would have a chance to continue.
Only Wei Na bit her red lips tightly, raising her head to gaze up at Xu Zihuang, seemingly enduring intense pain from a difficult choice.
Just as the shadow of despair enveloped the original Douluo Continent's side, an incomparably massive black light tore through the void and swept in from afar. It was like a black sun rising into the sky.
The newcomer wore plain clothes, had a tall and sturdy build, and his sharp, majestic eyes were as resolute as those of an ancient demon god. His entire body's muscles bulged prominently. In his right hand, he held a massive black hammer at his side. Beside him was a graceful and elegant middle-aged beauty dressed in a green long skirt, exuding an aura filled with the breath of life.
The arrivals were precisely Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
The gazes of everyone present were instantly drawn to the arriving Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
Tang Hao frowned deeply as he raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and pointed it at Xu Zihuang. Although he already knew that Xu Zihuang was the main culprit behind the massacre of their Clear Sky School, in order not to implicate his son, he still forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and questioned him righteously, trying to add a legitimate reason for taking action against Xu Zihuang.
"Person of a foreign race, since you possess the inheritance of a god, why do you still interfere in mortal affairs, inciting war and creating slaughter? Do you know that you have already violated the rules of the God Realm?"
Xu Zihuang met Tang Hao's gaze directly without any avoidance, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking arc. He was not surprised by the appearance of Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
"Person of a foreign race, truly an arrogant way to address someone."
At this point, Xu Zihuang's expression suddenly turned ice-cold.
"Tang Hao, you old dog. If you want to make a move against me, you still insist on finding an excuse? As expected, like father, like son. You and Tang San are truly birds of a feather. I slaughtered the entire Clear Sky School, and if you want to seek revenge on me, feel free to try!"
