The purplish-black dragon flames dissipated.

The remaining blood of the Soul Beast below had long been evaporated by the dragon flame.

Hundreds of thousands of human Soul Master have almost vanished, and all low- and mid-level Soul Master have perished, leaving no trace of their remains.

However, tens of thousands of high-level Soul Master above the Soul Emperor level managed to survive by relying on their Soul Skill and Defensive Soul Tool, and even the Titled Douluo only suffered minor injuries.

Perhaps it was because they drank some of the blood of Soul Beast before Di Tian's attack, thus gaining immortality.

Those who were struck by the dragon flames, though not dead but severely injured, are now rapidly healing their wounds.

Seeing that some people were still alive, Di Tian raised an eyebrow and immediately gave the order.

"Xiong Jun, the King of Ten Thousand Monsters, capture them all! Don't let a single one escape!"

As he spoke, the black dragon swooped down towards them, and Xiong Jun and the King of Ten Thousand Monsters immediately appeared and charged towards the tens of thousands of living Soul Master.

"Run!"

Upon seeing this, the Soul Master quickly shouted and scattered.

The high-ranking Soul Master from various factions immediately began to take the surviving Soul Master and fly away from this place.

At the Shrek Academy, Xuanzi Yan Shaozhe and the elders confirmed the number of survivors and immediately took them away.

With the three Ferocious Beast gathered, even though both sides are now immortal, there is no hope of advancing any further.

Most of those who are still alive are not too disappointed.

Although they failed to drive away the Soul Beast, at least they gained immortality!

During their escape, even those Soul Emperor Soul Sage, despite possessing immortal bodies, could not withstand the attacks of these three Ferocious Beasts and were all reduced to blood mist, unable to revive.

In the end, of the original hundreds of thousands of Soul Masters, apart from those who had initially gained intelligence, only tens of thousands remained after Di Tian's single strike of Dragon Flame.

Of the remaining tens of thousands, only a few thousand survived the pursuit of the three Ferocious Beasts.

This war can be described as a one-sided crushing defeat by the Soul Beast.

But the one who regretted it the most in this battle was none other than Di Tian.

His arrogance led him to mistakenly believe that those hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old Soul Beast could wipe out this team of Soul Master simply because they were immortal.

He never expected that these immortal Soul Beast, reduced to blood mist, could not be resurrected. Nor did he expect that humans could gain immortality by consuming the blood of these Soul Beasts.

Now, if the blood of those high-level Soul Beast Soul Master who are still alive, which contains the power of immortality, were to flow into the hands of those top-level Soul Master whose lifespans were about to run out and who were unable to fight, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Di Tian, what should we do now?"

The "what to do" that the King of Ten Thousand Monsters was referring to was naturally the blood that had been taken away.

They, as Soul Beast, naturally have long lifespans. They may not be aware of the immortality bestowed upon them by the Jianmu, but their Immortal Body is a real and tangible fact.

However, if humans, especially the top-tier powerhouses, were to consume this blood, they would not only gain immortality but also have their lifespans reversed, and their combat power would likely return to its peak.

By then, who knows how many more top-tier human experts will emerge.

"Eh."

After listening, Di Tian remained silent for Jiujiu, then let out a long sigh.

"We can only take it one step at a time."

"This time... I was too arrogant, thinking that the immortality bestowed upon me by the Medicine King would be enough to easily defeat them..."

"Unexpectedly, this has given them an opportunity to become stronger."

After he finished speaking, there was another silence.

"Let's go back first."

This battle for the Divine Tree, involving hundreds of thousands of people and Soul Beast, was expected to last a long time, but it ended completely in less than two days.

Hundreds of thousands of people died in less than two days, which undoubtedly enraged all the factions.

But when they saw the blood of the Soul Beast that had been brought back and learned of its wonderful uses, they all showed a shocked and excited expression, without feeling any regret for those who died in this war.

After the high-ranking figures and top experts of those forces consumed the blood containing immortality, the remaining blood was auctioned off.

In an instant, this blood became the most expensive luxury item among all the rare treasures on the Douluo Continent, and was driven up to astronomical prices by various forces.

Other elixirs and miraculous medicines can only make you stronger. But what's the purpose of becoming stronger? To become a god.

Then what's the point of becoming a god? Isn't it just to gain a long lifespan?

But now, my Soul Beast blood can directly grant you immortality and a long lifespan.

Shrek Academy.

The Shrek Inner Court students and soldiers who went out this time, led by Xuanzi, numbered nearly four thousand.

But now, less than a thousand have returned.

Upon returning to the academy, Xuanzi first dismissed the disciples, and then returned to the Sea God Pavilion with the elders.

Mu En sat in his wheelchair, gazing at Sea God Lake from the shore with cloudy eyes.

Xuanzi and several elders appeared behind him and greeted him respectfully.

"Mu En."

"Um?"

Mu En let out a soft "hmm," then slowly turned around to look at them.

"Who are you? Why are you back...? What happened?"

Mu En was stunned for a moment when he saw Xuanzi's current appearance, but he didn't say much. Instead, he asked about the war.

Mu En was unaware of the current situation of the Soul Beast. According to his previous calculations, the size of the team before they set off meant that the battle should have lasted at least a week. How could they have returned in just two days?

"Mu En..."

Xuanzi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Mu En, it's like this, we completely underestimated the impact of the Divine Tree's appearance on Soul Power!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Mu En slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed, but his expression remained unchanged.

Xuanzi continued, "The appearance of the Divine Tree granted those Soul Beast immortality. Ordinary methods of killing them are completely useless. Even if their heads are cut off, they can still resurrect continuously..."

"What! An immortal body, constantly resurrecting!"

Mu En's expression finally changed, and he looked surprised.

"That's right, only by turning them all into a bloody mist can we stop their resurrection."

"What about this war?"

Xuanzi shook his head. "It's... over. The night we arrived at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, we were ambushed by a group of hundred-year and thousand-year-old Soul Beast, but it didn't have much of an impact on the team."

"On the second day, we had barely stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest when we were attacked by thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast. In the end, both Xiong Jun Di Tian were killed, which dealt a fatal blow to the team."

Of the hundreds of thousands of people who returned, only a few thousand actually came back.

After hearing this, Mu En's expression grew even more solemn.

"If Soul Beast possess immortal bodies, how are we humans Future to survive in this world?"

At this moment, Xuanzi said again, "Mu En, this is our greatest gain this time!"

As he spoke, he took out the dozen or so wine jugs from his storage space.

"This is?"

"Soul Beast blood, Soul Beast blood containing the power of immortality!"

Xuanzi's expression was excited. "Back then, Elder Zhuang discovered that as long as humans drank the blood of these Soul Beasts, they could also obtain an immortal body like those Soul Beasts, and even increase their lifespan and become younger."

"So what do you look like now...?"

"That's right, I tried it myself back then, and it turned out like this."
