Breakthrough to High-Tier Soul Emperor, Solar Storm Sword

Facing this terrifyingly extreme Ten Thousand Dragon Flames, Elder Xuan decisively burned his essence blood, forcibly activating his Godly Taotie Bull bloodline. His two bull horns transformed into dragon horns as he shoved the flames back.

BOOM BOOM BOOM—!

The Ten Thousand Dragon Flames continued to erupt, the splashing fire igniting the surrounding trees. Elder Xuan and Di Tian, who had transformed into his true Black Dragon King form, were still locked in combat, but while one was burning his essence blood and soul power, the other had yet to unleash his full strength.

Elder Xuan gradually fell into a disadvantage, faintly suppressed.

He realized he could not go on like this.

If he continued to fight the Beast God, he would die here today along with a group of children.

The Beast God's strength was simply not something a level 98 Super Douluo could contend with; only if several Limit Douluos attacked simultaneously would there be a possibility of holding him back.

Elder Xuan let out another furious roar, erupting with all his might to forcefully shove the Ten Thousand Dragon Flames back.

In that very instant, he burned his essence blood, spiritual power, and bloodline energy, sprinting toward Shrek City.

He still had to bring the children back; how could he fall here?

Burn... burn everything if he must, but he had to survive!

"Run? This Seat will not let you escape."

"Xuan Zi, you shall lose your life here today!!"

Di Tian roared, his dragon wings flapping violently as he forcibly shattered space to give chase.

In a mountain range within the Heaven Dou Empire, Ye Que and the others landed on relatively flat ground.

Dragon Subduing Douluo tossed the dying Phoenix Bird before Ye Que and laughed, "The mission is a complete success. Young Master, hurry and absorb the soul ring!"

Ye Que did not absorb the soul ring, instead casting his gaze toward the distant Shrek City.

Beneath the far-off city, a beast tide erupted like black clouds pressing down upon the earth.

This was something they had caused with their own hands.

Ye Que said with a hint of self-reproach, "Shrek won't be breached, will it?"

The experts of the Body Sect nearby, hearing this, could not help but cast their eyes toward Shrek as well.

Du Busi said, "Shrek still has Mu En; they should be fine."

"Hard to say. Although Shrek has a Limit Douluo, a crazed Di Tian is not someone a single Limit Douluo can stop," Jin Peng added.

Du Busi clasped his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Then we shall go support them in a moment. Regardless of anything else, this beast tide was caused by us."

This suggestion received the full support of the Body Sect experts.

They were thinking the same thing.

With a beast tide at hand, every man has a duty.

As for how the beast tide came to be, don't ask; everyone is just trying to make a living.

Ye Que proposed, "After I finish absorbing the soul ring, we will all go together to resist the beast tide. After all, this matter started because of me."

Dragon Subduing Douluo and Guangyu Douluo nodded simultaneously.

Although they disliked Shrek and were in a hostile relationship with them, they absolutely did not want to see a catastrophe of death and destruction.

Following this, Ye Que drew the Angel God Sword, finished off the Phoenix Bird with a single strike, and sat cross-legged to absorb the soul ring.

RUMBLE—!

The natural phenomenon caused by the death of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was immense, and the violent soul power surged into Ye Que's body like a tidal wave.

Seeing this, the several experts moved far away from Ye Que.

Du Busi, hands behind his back, said to the Dragon Subduing Douluo beside him, "Young Friend Ye absorbing two hundred-thousand-year soul rings—I fear his strength will be comparable to a high-level Soul Emperor now."

"Coupled with his restraint over Evil Soul Masters, is there any Evil Soul Master below the eighth ring who can be his opponent?"

"Among the descendants of your Martial Soul Hall, another powerhouse comparable to the Angel God is set to emerge in the future."

"Just luck, merely luck..." Dragon Subduing Douluo responded modestly, having learned the essence of his Young Master.

Du Busi chuckled and stopped talking to the people from Martial Soul Hall.

He was thinking about returning to the Body Sect to enter seclusion after this mission ended.

With the immortal herbs provided by Ye Que, he would also be able to break through to the Limit Douluo realm.

When that time came, the Body Sect would be great once more!

Two hours later, Ye Que had completely absorbed the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and his aura surged violently.

The extreme fire attribute of the Phoenix Bird raised his strength by another large margin.

He had broken through to become a Soul Emperor—a six-ringed Soul Emperor—with his soul power reaching a terrifying level 66, while the Phoenix Bird's soul bone transformed into energy to strengthen his six Angel Soul Bones.

Furthermore, Ye Que's sixth soul ring provided two skills as well.

They were: Solar Storm Sword and Angel Nirvana Power.

Combined with his Indestructible Diamond Body, Ye Que could now be reborn through nirvana even if only a single drop of his blood remained.

With this, Ye Que finally possessed the capital to contend with the powerhouses of the continent.

"Young Master, how are you feeling?" the Dragon Subduing Douluo asked as he approached.

Ye Que smiled. "No surprises, two more soul skills. As for their effects, it is not convenient to demonstrate them right now. The beast tide has already erupted; let us go and hold them back for a while."

He then turned his head to look at Yu Mengdi and said, "I did not expect so many accidents to occur. Your fifth soul ring will have to be obtained in Shrek City."

Yu Mengdi replied gently, "I will listen to the Young Master in all things."

Following this, the group of experts from the Body Sect set off once more, heading toward Shrek City to resist the beast tide.

They did not wish to help Shrek, but they had no choice, as Shrek was established right at the edge of the Star Dou Forest.

To put it nicely, they were there to suppress the Star Dou Forest and hold back the beast tide.

But everyone knew that when Shrek could no longer hold the line, the continent's powerhouses would have to step up; it was effectively binding everyone together.

Once the soul beast army breached Shrek City, the people of the continent would be plunged into fire and water.

On the ramparts of Shrek City.

All the teachers, experts, and elders of Shrek Academy had joined the effort to resist the beast tide, with the defenders on the walls operating soul guidance rays, pouring them down upon the ground below.

The smoke of war permeated the entire battlefield.

A vast number of soul beasts perished, and a vast number of defenders fell, yet the soul beast army continued to charge forward in endless waves.

The battlefields of the great fierce beasts and the great elders were also fighting until the sky turned dark and the earth trembled.

However, there was one piece of good news: after burning a massive amount of his life essence, Xuan Zi had successfully escaped back to Shrek to defend against the beast tide alongside Mu En.

At this moment, in the sky above Shrek City, the Bright Sacred Dragon and the Black Dragon King Di Tian were colliding incessantly, unleashing skills and power against one another, causing the surrounding space to fluctuate and churning up layers of black clouds.

Yet even so, the Bright Sacred Dragon transformed from Mu En was being fiercely suppressed by the Black Dragon King Di Tian, showcasing the terrifying foundation of a generation's Beast God.

Di Tian was not afraid of these human Limit Douluo; he had simply been exercising restraint.

He had many things he needed to do.

He had to protect his Lord as she recovered from her injuries, protect the subjects of the Star Dou Forest, and, more importantly, consider the big picture.

Therefore, whenever humans hunted for soul rings, as long as it was not too excessive and remained within an acceptable range, Di Tian would turn a blind eye, waiting for his Lord to fully recover and lead the soul beast clan back to the God Realm.

But these cunning humans had provoked the majesty of the Beast God and challenged his bottom line more than once.

And this time, having lost two super soul beasts, Di Tian had gone completely mad; even a Limit Douluo would be suppressed by him.

"Mu En, I come to assist you!"

Just then, having recovered his strength with the help of the Golden Ancient Tree, Xuan Zi transformed once more into the Godly Taotie Bull, charging toward the true form of the Black Dragon King Di Tian.

Di Tian grabbed the Bright Sacred Dragon by its horns and shattered the space with a single claw.

Crack—!

Space shattered, and the Godly Taotie Bull was heavily wounded by the claw, sent tumbling back onto the walls of Shrek.

Seeing this, Mu En violently broke free from his restraints, spewing forth Bright Dragon Flame to escape the Black Dragon King Di Tian's control, and shouted, "Di Tian, do you truly wish for an endless feud with us at Shrek? Why have you torn up our agreement and launched this beast tide? Do you really think you can wipe out Shrek?"
