BOOM--!
The Phoenix Bird circling the sky above the active volcano had just sensed the aura of powerful experts when it let out an ancient cry that resonated throughout the entire Star Dou Forest.
In that very instant, over a dozen Title Douluo formed a net of heaven and earth to seal it in.
Du Busi charged at the forefront, raising his hand to unleash the poison of his own body.
Following closely, the Dragon Subduing Douluo shattered space to arrive, his eighth soul ring lighting up as he brought a staff crashing down from the heavens.
BOOM!
The body of the Phoenix Bird plummeted downward, transforming into a flaming meteor.
It had not expected that one moment the weather would be clear and bright, and the next, it would be imprisoned by over a dozen Title Douluo and ambushed by a Limit Douluo.
However, as a 150,000-year super soul beast tainted by the true blood of the Phoenix God King, how could it die so easily?
In a flash, golden flames ignited around the Phoenix Bird, causing it to rise once more like a sun.
Nirvana power; it was channeling the Nirvana power within its body.
"Want to reach Nirvana? Then you truly underestimate This Seat."
Du Busi took a step forward, his ninth soul ring lighting up as the poison of his body fused with his power, forming a massive sphere that he hurled violently at the Phoenix Bird.
BOOM--!
The flames igniting around the Phoenix Bird were instantly engulfed by the poison sphere, forcibly interrupting its Nirvana.
Seeing this, the other Title Douluo increased their soul power output, pinning it down firmly.
The Dragon Subduing Douluo waved his hand and shouted, "Fire Element Deprivation!"
In an instant, all surrounding elements were brought under the control of the Dragon Subduing Douluo, and even the Phoenix Bird's origin true fire vanished.
"Hahaha, success!"
Du Busi let out a loud laugh, the heavy stone in his heart finally dropping as he said to the others, "Mission accomplished. All members of the Body Sect, retreat."
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
The experts of the Body Sect turned into streaks of light, shooting out of the Star Dou Forest, leaving the Phoenix Bird to the Dragon Subduing Douluo, who was the safest choice to keep it imprisoned.
The entire battle had lasted only a dozen exchanges, counting as a brilliantly completed mission.
Soon, Du Busi and the others met up with Ye Que again and vanished from the area in an instant.
At this moment, because the Phoenix Bird was no longer absorbing energy, the volcanic magma that had been accumulating for ten thousand years erupted from within, and a catastrophe broke out in full force.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The volcano erupted continuously, spraying flaming magma in every direction.
Xiong Jun and the other fierce beasts, who had rushed over from the core circle, were a step too late; Ye Que and his group had already retreated with incredible speed.
At this point, the speed of Guangyu Douluo's Ten Thousand Feet in One Line could be described as monstrous.
In the sky, only an incredibly long horizontal line remained.
"HUMANS!!"
Xiong Jun, who had been a beat too slow, stared at the backs of Ye Que and his group and let out an angry roar, the momentum so immense that it snapped the surrounding trees.
The Star Dou Forest trembled once again.
Soon, Di Tian, who had been in seclusion, heard the report from Xiong Jun and the others and was so furious he felt as if his lungs were about to explode.
Humans, it was this group of damned humans again!
Xiong Jun looked at Di Tian's bloodshot vertical pupils and, sensing the dragon's rage, took a step back and said, "Di Tian, don't be like this, I'm scared..."
Di Tian kicked Xiong Jun, sending him flying over a thousand meters away, and roared at the sky, "My Lord, Di Tian can no longer endure this. I will bathe Shrek in blood!!"
"Granted!" Gu Yuena responded.
The next instant.
Di Tian transformed into his true form as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction of Shrek City, recalling the humiliation from a thousand years ago when seven hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were hunted down at once.
And today, two more hundred-thousand-year super soul beasts had been hunted.
Di Tian completely lost his reason, roaring in fury:
"Humans! Cunning humans!!"
"This Seat has retreated time and again, only to be met with humiliation. I understand now, I finally understand!"
"A Beast God... should act like a Beast God. I was so completely wrong before, but this time, I will not make the same mistake again!"
"Pass on the order of This Seat: launch the beast tide, bathe Shrek City in blood, and avenge our kin!!!"
As the Beast God's roar echoed throughout the Star Dou Forest, all the fierce beasts belonging to the Star Dou region rioted. The soul beast army assembled once more, launching a frenzied slaughter against the humans within the Star Dou Forest as they charged toward Shrek City.
Scarlet King, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bi Ji, and Xiong Jun—the great fierce beasts—all transformed into their true forms to lead the soul beast army in the assault.
At this moment, the Shrek squad, who had been hunting for soul rings in the mixed zone, encountered the beast tide head-on. Countless ten-thousand-year soul beasts rioted, and thousand-year soul beasts charged forward, disregarding their own lives.
Ma Xiaotao and the others were all severely injured.
They never imagined that the Star Dou Forest, usually so tranquil, would suddenly erupt into a beast tide, a phenomenon rarely seen in a thousand years.
Yet at this critical moment, their Elder Xuan was nowhere to be found.
While fending off the siege of the soul beast army, Ma Xiaotao wept bitterly, "Elder Xuan... Elder Xuan, where are you? If you don't come, we will all be wiped out! Where are you!"
Before she could finish, a 50,000-year-old Flame Lion King broke through the Shrek team's defenses and swallowed an inner court student in one gulp.
This was already the third student to die during this soul-hunting mission.
The faces of Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, Wu Ming, and the others turned deathly pale.
Were they going to die here today?
Facing the onslaught of the soul beast army, without Elder Xuan or a Super Douluo to save the day, not a single person here would survive.
However, just as everyone fell into despair, Elder Xuan flew in like a child who had done something wrong. The power of a level 98 Super Douluo erupted as he punched the surrounding soul beasts into a bloody mist.
Ma Xiaotao and the others were moved to tears.
He was here; Elder Xuan had returned!
But why only now? What had he been doing earlier?
At this moment, the soul beast army charged at them again, showing no fear of a level 98 human soul master powerhouse.
Even Elder Xuan, who had seen his fair share of the world, couldn't help but gasp.
He had been awakened by the beast tide, but he hadn't expected these soul beasts to act as if they had all gone mad, showing no fear of death whatsoever.
Amidst his shock, Elder Xuan decisively activated his Avatar of the Martial Soul and swept all the children up into the sky.
"What is going on?" Elder Xuan asked.
Wiping away her tears, Ma Xiaotao sobbed, "We were just hunting for soul beasts for our juniors, but it seemed like a battle broke out in the core area of the Star Dou Forest. We sensed over a dozen Titled Douluos flying over our heads."
"Then, before we could even react, we heard the roar of the Beast God Di Tian, and the beast tide erupted."
"In the process, we have already lost three students."
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan's expression shifted drastically.
People had died—three inner court students lost at once. How was he supposed to answer to Elder Mu?
Drinking, it was all because of drinking!
Every mistake was his fault; if only he hadn't gone off to take a nap.
But now was not the time for reflection. Shrek City must have entered a defensive state, and he had to return to the academy as quickly as possible.
However, the moment he turned, a roar suddenly descended from the sky.
"Xuan Zi, you damned human!!"
Elder Xuan's face changed drastically. He shielded all the children in an instant, his horns erupting with violent power.
The next moment, a Dragon King Claw tore through space and slammed fiercely into the head of the Godly Taotie Bull.
Puchi—!
The Godly Taotie Bull vomited blood on the spot, its pair of horns snapped off by the dragon claw, and the true form of the Beast God Di Tian emerged from the clouds.
Everyone looked up, their souls trembling in terror.
The black dragon's vertical pupils had turned completely blood-red, and violent, murderous intent swirled around its body.
It was Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, completely driven to madness.
Elder Xuan roared, "Di Tian, you dare to harm this old man? Are you not afraid of being held to account by Shrek?"
Di Tian was not afraid; instead, he became even more enraged. He enunciated every word, "Shrek, a fine Shrek indeed! This Seat shall bathe Shrek in blood today!!"
"Ten Thousand Dragon Flames!"
With almost zero-frame startup, violent golden flames erupted from the Black Dragon King's maw.
