New Douluo Novel: Sword of Judgment and Eternal Ice — 50 chapters already uploaded on Webnovel!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing Xu Zihuang wielding the Golden Dragon Spear with such proficiency, Di Tian's anger grew even stronger.
If it weren't for Xu Zihuang seizing the Golden Dragon bloodline from within the Auspicious Beast's body, how could he possibly have gained the recognition of the Golden Dragon Spear?!
Di Tian let out a cold snort. The black dragon sword in his hand was horizontally placed in front of him, clashing directly with the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear that had the Ultimate Lightning attribute attached to it.
"Clang—"
A crisp ringing sound echoed through the air.
It paused for an instant, and then the space above Shrek City seemed to boil. Countless purple bubbles emerged out of thin air, burst apart, and transformed into purple torrents that gathered toward the central area where Xu Zihuang was located, before spiraling upward into the sky.
Di Tian fully displayed the erosive characteristics of his own dark attribute elements.
However, the sky filled with terrifying Ultimate Dark attribute energy quickly returned to calm.
Countless purple-gold lightning arcs leaped within it. The overbearing Ultimate Lightning instantly dispersed the purple vortex. In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, as if the will of the entire world was under Xu Zihuang's control, madly pressing toward Di Tian.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—"
The Golden Dragon Spear in Xu Zihuang's hand and Di Tian's black dragon sword collided continuously.
For the time being, neither side used other powerful soul skills; they simply continued this highly spectacular close-quarters combat. If it weren't for the shocking phenomena appearing in the sky and the terrifying energy fluctuations, it would have been hard for anyone to believe that Xu Zihuang and Di Tian were engaged in a life-and-death battle.
Di Tian used the black dragon sword, with every attack primarily driven by dark attribute energy and supplemented by spatial power. Xu Zihuang barely used the abilities of his Golden Dragon Pupil martial soul. Just the Ultimate Lightning, Destruction, and the perfect fusion of the two, Annihilation attribute, that his second martial soul, the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon, innately possessed, was enough to suppress Di Tian.
In addition to the purple-gold lightning arcs, deep purple destructive flames, and annihilation attribute light points that could erase everything in the world also appeared continuously in the high sky above Shrek City as Xu Zihuang wielded the Golden Dragon Spear. All of them possessed terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.
The battle between Xu Zihuang and Di Tian was practically the pinnacle clash between human soul masters and soul beasts.
Mu Lao, Xuan Lao, and the host of elders from the Sea God Pavilion were forced to retreat onto the city wall above Shrek City's southern gate.
They were the people most familiar with Xu Zihuang, yet their feelings were equally the most complicated.
Mu Lao reached out and patted Xuan Lao's shoulder, letting out a soft sigh.
"Xuan Zi, things have already come to this point. There is no use in saying more. At least Tianhuang is willing to remember this sentiment. This time, saving Shrek City from danger means that all the effort we poured into it back then was not in vain. As for the war in the future, the academy can firmly hold its own position, but if the general trend cannot be defied, do not engage in meaningless resistance. Shaozhe, Lin'er, I know your personalities are stubborn. These words are also meant for you two."
"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er called out in unison.
Xian Lin'er's face was full of grief, and crystalline tears slid down from the corners of her eyes. Mu Lao's earlier appearance had indeed filled her with both surprise and joy. But upon thinking about it again, she immediately understood what was happening.
Mu Lao had clearly fused his soul into the Golden Tree, which allowed his soul to remain immortal and continue protecting Shrek Academy in the future. But in doing so, Mu Lao had completely lost the chance to reincarnate. Decades later, Mu Lao's soul power would also be assimilated by the Golden Tree.
By that time, Mu Lao would truly disappear from this world.
Compared to Xian Lin'er, although Yan Shaozhe was barely able to control his emotions, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"Teacher, you have devoted your entire life to the academy. How can we just watch as the academy is swallowed by the Sun Moon Empire?"
Mu Lao's expression immediately became stern as he rebuked Yan Shaozhe, "Foolish! Don't you understand even now? Shrek Academy is ultimately just an academy. As long as the academy's inheritance is not severed, there will be infinite possibilities in the future."
Yan Shaozhe lowered his head and remained silent. Mu Lao then turned his gaze to Zhang Lexuan beside him. In his kind eyes, there seemed to be some inexplicable meaning.
"Lexuan."
"Mu Lao!" Zhang Lexuan called out emotionally, her eyes slightly reddening. When she was young, Mu Lao had avenged her and raised her. This genuine affection was not fake.
A trace of a smile appeared on Mu Lao's illusory face, though his heart felt somewhat ashamed. But for the future of Shrek Academy, he could only do this.
"Lexuan, I once told you that I did not wish for you to be bound, but now I'm afraid I must break my word." Mu Lao smiled self-mockingly, then spoke with a sincere tone.
"I hope that in the future you can succeed me as the Dean of Shrek Academy. This is my final request."
If the Sun Moon Empire had not launched the war, according to the normal process, Zhang Lexuan would definitely have succeeded as the Dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Master Department in the future. Although she did not yet fully understand Mu Lao's intention, she still agreed, her red lips trembling slightly as she said in a shaky voice.
"Mu Lao, I promise you."
"Xuan Ancestor!" Bei Bei and Tang Ya arrived at this side.
Bei Bei had always thought Mu Lao had already passed away, and at this moment, his eyes were brimming with hot tears. Tang Ya was the same, tightly holding Bei Bei's right hand.
"Mu Lao."
Mu Lao looked at the two with a kind and gentle smile.
Most of the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy, who were relatively familiar with Xu Zihuang, found it difficult to recover from the shock for a long time. Although they had heard some things about Xu Zihuang's true identity, personally witnessing Xu Zihuang's confrontation with Di Tian still left them with an indescribable sense of shock.
For example, Wu Ming, Chu Qingtian, Ye Liu, and the others. They either had no family or had little involvement with their families and had remained in Shrek Academy's inner court to study. After graduating from the inner court, they would directly become teachers or assistant teachers at Shrek Academy.
Wu Ming and the other two were also among the few inner court students who had interacted with Xu Zihuang and were still staying at Shrek Academy.
Of the inner court disciples from the same cohort as Xu Zihuang, only Xie Huan Yue, Xiao Xiao, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan remained. The passage of time and the outbreak of war on the continent had already changed everyone's fates, and it would be difficult for them to have any more intersections in the future. It gave off a strong feeling that things had remained the same, but people had changed.
At this moment, Xie Huan Yue, Xiao Xiao, Zhou Sichen, and Cao Jinxuan were also greatly impacted. As people of the same age, this sense of shock was even stronger.
On the soul beast army's side, they were also shocked by Xu Zihuang's terrifying strength and did not dare to make any further moves. They simply halted their advance and maintained a distance from Shrek City's southern gate. Moreover, since both Mu Lao and Xuan Lao of Shrek Academy had freed up their hands, if they continued to assault Shrek City, they would only suffer heavy losses for no reason.
Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan, and the Red King, floating above the soul beast army, were looking up at the battling Di Tian and Xu Zihuang in the sky with worried expressions. Among the Four Great Ferocious Beasts, they were the most loyal to Di Tian.
Moreover, after learning that the bloodline aura of that small life inside the Auspicious Beast came from Xu Zihuang, they were also very concerned.
The Myriad Demon King, on the other hand, had a thoughtful look on its face.
Only the Bear Lord appeared somewhat restless. Fierce light flickered in its eyes as its pair of dark gold terror claws kept extending and retracting. It was weighing the pros and cons.
Although the soul beasts were currently united against the outside, if Di Tian were to fall here, with its powerful combat strength, it could immediately replace Di Tian's position in the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, the Bear Lord was currently unaware of the existence of the Silver Dragon King.
However, it quickly dismissed this idea. The Auspicious Beast's bloodline and the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest had been stolen by humans. Even if it replaced Di Tian and became the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, it would probably find it difficult to contend with those despicable humans in the future.
In this battle, Di Tian could not lose!
Thinking of this, the Bear Lord made a decisive decision. It seized an opportunity and swung its pair of sharp claws once more.
"Go to hell!"
Ten dark gold-colored claws slashed across the sky, instantly tearing it apart. Dark and sinister spatial cracks almost spanned across space itself, appearing right in front of Xu Zihuang and generating a massive pulling force from within.
Tearing Heaven Claw!
Xu Zihuang's expression turned cold. He horizontally blocked with the Golden Dragon Spear, stopping a purple-black sword beam that Di Tian had vertically slashed toward him.
At the same time, he abruptly raised his left hand. Deep black light began to condense at the center of his palm, forming a counterclockwise-rotating black vortex.
"Buzz—"
A strange buzzing sound rang out. The Tearing Heaven Claw that the Bear Lord had unleashed with full power was crushed by an invisible force without any pause, turning into specks of golden light that scattered in the air. The torn sky also closed up accordingly.
Then, the black vortex rotating in Xu Zihuang's palm suddenly changed its direction of rotation, aiming straight at the Bear Lord.
How is this possible?!
The Bear Lord had not yet recovered from that shock when it discovered that its body was uncontrollably being pulled toward where Xu Zihuang was.
This invisible force actually gave it a feeling that it could not resist.
"Damn it!" The Bear Lord's eyes were filled with ferocity and terror as it struggled madly. Its entire body shone with brilliant golden light, but no matter how it struggled, it could not break free from this strange, invisible attractive force.
Xu Zihuang controlled the force to restrain the Bear Lord's body in mid-air. Then, the black vortex in his left palm changed its rotation direction once again.
"Boom—"
The Bear Lord's body was also sent flying backward in that instant. The terrifying impact force and speed even caused the air to produce sonic booms. The Bear Lord was blasted dozens of kilometers away, flying over the heads of the soul beast army. While passing through a forest, it smashed through countless thick trees.
The soul beasts surrounding the outside of Shrek City's southern gate all felt a chill run through their bodies.
This was the ability granted to Xu Zihuang by the two soul skills from the left arm soul bone of the Demon Emperor. These two soul skills, respectively, allowed him to control gravity and repulsion. If properly developed, their usage could be said to be filled with endless mysteries.
The Bear Lord had rashly attacked Xu Zihuang. Not a trace of joy appeared in Di Tian's eyes. Instead, he let out an indignant and furious dragon roar toward the sky and once again reverted to his original form.
"Bear Lord, since when did this seat permit you to interfere in this battle?!"
The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, whose body length exceeded a thousand meters, coiled in the high sky and once again launched a charge toward Xu Zihuang.
Six red and one gold, six soul rings revolved around Xu Zihuang. The dark gold seventh soul ring shone, radiating a majestic and ferocious aura.
Xu Zihuang's second martial soul's million-year soul ring level martial soul true body would also be displayed here.
