—------------------—
Dozens of experts charged into the battlefield, and in an instant, the sky was thrown into chaos. Feng Zaixing raised his hands to meet the challenge, while Yuan En Tiandang's Battle Intent turned frenzied, surrounding more than ten Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult with his Quasi-God power.
At the Tang Sect's position, Zang Xin frowned and turned back to ask, "Why hasn't the augmentation light been given to the Underworld and Ghost Emperors?"
A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Spirit Saint holding a pagoda said weakly, "It's too far. The spatial order is in complete chaos; our Spirits can't reach them."
"That kid definitely did it on purpose!"
Smiling Tiger slapped his belly and shouted, "Sect Leader, I'm taking people to find an opportunity."
Displaying the power of his Golden Belly and Silver Buttocks, Smiling Tiger charged out with narrowed eyes. They had once been fellow members of the Body Sect, but now they were mortal enemies!
Several Tang Sect experts moved through the Void Realm. Cao Dezhi observed the situation and said to Zang Xin, "Strike at the critical moment; strive for a one-hit kill opportunity."
"Mm!"
Zang Xin nodded forcefully. Their identities were sensitive, after all; being able to execute Feng Zaixing from the shadows was the best choice.
"Since you've chosen to degenerate and associate with the Holy Spirit Cult, I'll treat you all as members of the Holy Spirit Cult tonight."
A tide of spirit power erupted around Feng Zaixing, and a gold-grade silhouette appeared behind him. His Spirit Domain Realm peak mental force exploded. One eye shone with light while the other was dark. The Kingly Way War God and Hegemonic Way War God merged into his twin swords respectively. His gray hair flew like a battle flag, and his Sacred Body derived blood Qi like a dragon as he charged through the air.
"Boom!"
The Haotian Sect Master swung his hammer, using the Vibration Art to strike Feng Zaixing from a distance. However, Feng Zaixing's body remained steadfast and flawless; with just a slight sway, he backhandedly vibrated his hegemonic way war sword, causing a visible shattering of the void.
The Haotian Sect Master struck upward with his hammer. The surging, wave-like Qi made the web between his thumb and forefinger ache, and his face suddenly turned red.
"How do you also know the Vibration Art?!" The Haotian Sect Master was horrified. How could a unique secret technique passed down for over twenty thousand years be leaked?
"Not only do I know it, but its power is a hundred times stronger than yours."
Feng Zaixing exhaled sharply as he stepped with the Unity of Heaven and Man. Merging the intent of the Overlord Way War God and protected by the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, his twin swords moved with great sweeps and thrusts. Stabbing, lifting, slashing, sweeping, cleaving, vibrating, and dotting—he integrated the Body Sect's force-delivery techniques with the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes. His body elementalized into light; he would disengage after a single exchange with each person, utilizing his absolute advantage in speed and mental force to traverse the battlefield.
His gray hair fluttered like rain, and his jade-like longsword flashed through the air. He was like a tiger among sheep or a dragon among fish, striking terror into dozens of Titled Douluo!
He had hunted countless Evil Soul Masters and had long ago accumulated enough points to obtain the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes. In fact, it wasn't just the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes; he had already obtained the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, the Great Sumeru Hammer, and even more combat methods, though he had never shown them before.
For a moment, many observers were stunned. A single person taking on a group of top experts below the level of Limit Douluo and Four-Word Battle Armor Masters, with an indestructible golden body and blood raining down—was he even human?
Dai Yuner's small face turned pale, feeling that her teeth definitely wouldn't be able to bite through him. The always fearless Long Yue fell silent for a moment before asking Holy Dragon Douluo, "Teacher, did you say... you wanted to ask him to teach me combat in private?"
Have you misunderstood the situation? Your Disciple is a defense-type Spirit Master, not an immortal-type Spirit Master!
Holy Dragon Douluo said softly, "Those people haven't fully activated their Martial Soul True Body yet. Let's wait and see."
The Martial Soul True Body would reveal the most fundamental Origin power of a Spirit, which the black Qi of the Holy Spirit Cult could not hide. Therefore, those who had stepped forward rarely used it.
But now, they had no choice. As the Grand Elder of the Clear Sky Sect took the lead in using his Martial Soul True Body, the experts from the Hidden Families lit up their seventh spirit rings one after another.
Feng Zaixing looked around disdainfully and said softly, "Holy Body Heaven Domain, open."
A boundless golden World expanded outward, turning tens of thousands of square meters of airspace into an absolute battlefield. Feng Zaixing's own attributes were increased by thirty percent, while the attributes of the Hidden Family experts were weakened by thirty percent.
"Haotian Sect Master, stop pretending to be an Evil Soul Master. I'll teach you what the integration of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes is! Let all who watch this battle come; I, Feng Zaixing, will show you the secret techniques the Clear Sky Sect has hidden for twenty thousand years!"
Feng Zaixing let out a clear, long whistle. His Spirit switched from the Sacred Body to the Twelve-Winged Angel. His second spirit ring, Divine Sword, and third Spirit Ability, Angelic Descent, shone brightly. The Spirit's radiance surged, and light and fire elements condensed into nine angelic light swords around him.
Each of the nine angelic light swords operated one of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes' Qi energies. The powers of Void, Seal, Pierce, Penetrate, Entwine, Vibrate, Break, Instant, and Collapse manifested in the sky.
In an instant, experts from all factions in the darkness watched intently. The Tang Sect and some Hidden Family experts were no exception, while only the Clear Sky Sect members were filled with murderous rage.
To have their twenty-thousand-year-old secret techniques publicized—this was an irreconcilable enmity!
The nine angelic light swords merged before the Clear Sky Sect experts could reach him, turning into a thousand-meter giant sword that spanned the sky. A fleeting red light flew out from Feng Zaixing's sleeve and merged into it. He laughed loudly as he maneuvered the giant sword, aiming it at the Haotian Sect Master.
It plunged down, a heaven-piercing light breaking through the clouds!
"Kill!!!"
The Haotian Sect Master used the Great Sumeru Hammer to meet the enemy. Three spirit rings shattered simultaneously as the hammer head struck upward with immeasurable force.
"Boom!"
The loud explosion was like thunder, causing the space to vibrate. A visible storm of spirit power and sound waves swept through the World, as if everything had come to a standstill at that moment.
In the next moment, countless people's pupils constricted as they saw an inconceivable scene. The Haotian Sect Master's Clear Sky Hammer was supposed to crush the enemy, but the giant angelic sword brought down immeasurable holy fire. The tip of the sword emitted a force that instantly pierced through the Clear Sky Hammer and the Haotian Sect Master who held it, exiting through his chest and bringing with it a spray of blood and bone fragments.
The Haotian Sect Master's expression instantly stiffened, and his Spirit shattered into dust in the air. Immediately following that, his body was pulverized under the sword's fire, his soul and form both destroyed, leaving behind only a few Spirit Bones.
"Sect Master!"
Several Clear Sky Sect Elders cried out, unable to believe that their Sect Master had fallen in a frontal collision. Was Feng Zaixing actually a Limit Douluo?
At this moment, the force that had pierced the Haotian Sect Master was still active. Like lightning, it pierced through one Titled Douluo after another, like waves crashing against the shore, splashing a thousand blooms of blood.
The spatial power of the Holy Body Heaven Domain activated, collecting the remains of the fallen to serve as nourishment for the Tree of Life.
Far away on the Douluo Continent, the ancient tree of life, which had already moved from Shrek City to Bright Capital, sprouted new buds. Its canopy was as thick as a lid, covering an ever-expanding sky.
A life-giving rain of light fell from the sky, nourishing all things. Yu Guanzhi, who was sitting cross-legged cultivating under the tree, had a look of satisfaction on his face. He said happily, "Investing in Zaixing is truly the most successful investment the Yu Family has made in nearly a thousand years. If we have a few more years like this, I will definitely be able to Breakthrough to Quasi-God!"
Zhen Hua coughed twice nearby, reminding the other of his presence. "Don't forget about me; Zaixing is my Disciple."
Yu Guanzhi waved his hand and said, "I know, I know. Once the Star Luo war is over, you can openly announce his identity and let the entire Spirit Master's world know that you, Zhen Hua, have a successor."
Zhen Hua grinned, likely envisioning that glorious day. For an ordinary Genius, being announced as the successor to a Divine Craftsman was the Genius's honor, but Feng Zaixing could become his pride.
"Moving the ancient tree of life here is an unparalleled contribution he has made to the Federation."
Minister of the Military Xu Pojun was also cultivating under the tree. He clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "I'm actually quite curious why Yun Ming left the ancient tree of life behind so readily. I thought we'd have to fight a major battle for it."
"I can't figure it out, I really can't. If it were me, even if I couldn't take it away, I'd have blown it up."
Simply leaving the ancient tree of life behind was not Shrek's style at all.
Chen Xinjie narrowed his eyes and said, "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. The ancient tree of life can increase Lifespan, and Shrek could produce experts generation after generation because this tree played a monumental role."
"What His Excellency Vast Sea says is true." Xu Pojun chuckled awkwardly and didn't continue, feeling a bit guilty.
Under the vigorous shade, many people were gathered in the core area of the ancient tree of life to receive the baptism of the life rain, including several War Gods from the War God Hall and military experts.
Old Jin stood within the tree, his expression pleased, though there was a faint trace of worry and determination between his brows.
Meanwhile.
On the aerial battlefield of Star Luo City, the powerful "force" flew back to Feng Zaixing after killing nine great experts in succession, revealing its true form.
It was nothing else but the Fire God's Divine Artifact that Feng Zaixing had dug out of the Dragon Valley—the heavenly burning divine pestle!
This Divine Artifact was the Fire God's prized weapon, having left many dragons with unpleasant memories during the Dragon Clan war. The Haotian Sect Master's Clear Sky Hammer going head-to-head with it was naturally like an egg hitting a stone—there was no chance of victory.
"It's a Divine Artifact, a Divine Artifact appearing for the first time!"
Cao Dezhi exclaimed. Zhang Geyang and Li Mengjie's expressions changed, and Holy Dragon Douluo's eyelids twitched.
From their perspective, this Divine Artifact was definitely of the highest tier and was a rare perfect match for Feng Zaixing.
The slaughter, with blood flying everywhere, did not stop because everyone was moved. Feng Zaixing, with twin swords in hand, fought on without pause, fiercely attacking the ninety-seventh-ranked Grand Elder of the Clear Sky Sect.
The Grand Elder's blood and Qi had long since weakened, and even putting his life on the line, he was no match for Feng Zaixing. His hammer waves collapsed instantly under the sword waves, completely lacking the hegemonic dominance of what was once the World's number one Tool Spirit.
Feng Zaixing took the opportunity to use his mental force to maneuver the heavenly burning divine pestle for a sneak attack. In the span of a breath, he eliminated four more Titled Douluo from the Hidden Families who couldn't dodge in time. His clear voice rang out across heaven and earth: "After tonight, the Clear Sky Sect will no longer exist in this World. However, rest assured that your secret techniques will become cultivation nourishment for all people under heaven, never to be exhausted!"
Before his voice could fade, the World had already changed color. Smiling Tiger appeared with Tang Sect experts to launch an assassination attempt, while a light-dark dragon soul lunged out from the unoccupied darkness as Long Yeyue struck out in anger.
From the Star Luo Empire's side, Holy Dragon Douluo signaled a burly man covered in strange scales to enter the battlefield. The light of the Five Elements boiled like boiling water.
More experts appeared in the airspace. A Ruheng and the husband-and-wife pair including Long Tianwu appeared one after another to join the fight.
The massive commotion spread across nearly half of Star Luo City. In the Star Luo Grand Hotel, Tang San's Divine Sense abruptly woke up from its rest, catching Feng Zaixing's extremely insulting words toward the Clear Sky Sect.
Immediately, his eyes widened with rage. Controlling Tang Wulin's body, he walked to the window to observe the battle.
He saw that in the turbulent airspace, many experts were wearing the top-tier battle armor of this era, fighting so hard the World seemed to be turning upside down.
Feng Zaixing was like a lion that never stopped fighting, charging in and out of the encirclement of Hidden Family experts. Even the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu, who was emitting Limit-level fluctuations, was unable to take him down quickly.
Instead, in a moment of inattention, the Five Elements shroud Tong Yu struck out was affected by the Holy Body Heaven Domain and grazed his own ally. The Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder's body suddenly went stiff.
Feng Zaixing seized the opportunity. His light feathers flashed and he arrived in an instant. The kingly way Divine Sword pierced through the heart, sending the Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder to meet his ancestors.
With a series of elemental explosions, the Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder was turned into dust on the spot, leaving behind only a few Spirit Bones.
Tong Yu hurriedly apologized to the Clear Sky Sect, and this momentary lapse in suppressing Feng Zaixing allowed the deadly, shuttle-like heavenly burning divine pestle to show its power for the third time, forcing the experts to retreat wildly.
Tang San's face was gloomy, very dissatisfied with the performance of these people. "The trash of today is truly incompetent. They're nothing like we were back then!"
Seeing A Ruheng block Smiling Tiger and Long Tianwu and his wife block Long Yeyue, Cao Dezhi saw that the battle was going poorly everywhere. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, preparing to take the risk and strike.
But at that moment, two streaks of bright light swept through the sky. Yun Ming and Ya Li appeared. The qingtian spear instantly took control of half the airspace, releasing an endless, brilliant radiance and pointing toward the void battlefield.
Yun Ming's eyes locked onto one person, blooming with infinite cold light. The dazzling, brilliant orange-gold ninth spirit ring on his spear immediately lit up.
"Qingtian, Shooting the Sun!"
