An Ultimate Douluo Hidden in Wuhun City?!

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by two resounding dragon roars that pierced the clouds, Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo stepped through the air, their Coiling Dragon Staff martial souls wreathed in majestic dragon phantoms crashing down upon the battlefield!

Seeing two more Super Douluo charging toward him, Du Bushi's once-arrogant face finally showed a trace of gravity.

"Two Rank 96s, plus a Rank 98... Wuhun City's foundations are simply absurd!"

Du Bushi cursed inwardly.

But as the master of the Noumenon Sect, he had fought throughout his life. How could he admit defeat now?

"Boom—!"

A ferocious gleam unlike any before erupted from his dark green eyes as he pushed the bloodline power of his Body Martial Soul to its limit.

"Good! Today, this old man will see just how much weight your Wuhun City truly carries!"

With an enraged roar, Du Bushi charged headlong at the Coiling Dragon Staffs of the Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing brothers. His enormous dark green body forcibly tangled with the three Super Douluo in midair.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Mu Yunye slowly opened his eyes. Within his unfathomable Double Pupil, red and blue dragon phantoms faintly flowed.

"It's completely stabilized."

Mu Yunye let out a long breath. A series of crisp crackles, like beans popping in a pan, burst from all over his body. Just as he was about to return to Wuhun City, the system's cold mechanical prompt suddenly rang in his mind.

[Wuhun City is under invasion by external enemies! The invaders are: Du Bushi, master of the Noumenon Sect, and his elite subordinates!]

[Warning! Spies from another faction have infiltrated Wuhun City and are attempting to steal its core secrets!]

"The Noumenon Sect? They attacked Wuhun City?"

Mu Yunye's gaze abruptly sharpened, and a tangible chill flashed through the depths of his eyes.

"Du Bushi, Wuhun City has no quarrel with your Noumenon Sect, yet you dared to launch a surprise attack."

"Boom—!"

Without any hesitation, Mu Yunye willed it, and a vast surge of soul-guided energy within his body instantly detonated.

"Buzz—!"

Accompanied by a crisp hum brimming with the rhythm of life, a suit of pure white armor instantly condensed from his flesh and blood, covered in brilliant golden sword patterns and intricate elemental runes.

"Sword Star God."

The instant the Battle Armor enveloped him, Mu Yunye's aura surged wildly like an erupting volcano, leaping several major realms from Soul King.

"Boom!"

Mu Yunye became a dazzling streak of white-gold light, tearing through the poisonous miasma above Sunset Forest and shooting into the distance.

Meanwhile, within Wuhun City, Shadow Douluo Xue Chen moved like a ghost without substance, silently sneaking along the shadows of the buildings toward the core area where soul tools were forged.

He was incredibly fast.

Even his breathing and heartbeat were perfectly concealed!

"..."

Just as he was about to step into the inner city's core area, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The breeze that had been flowing around him abruptly stopped.

Not only that, even the tiny specks of dust in the air had eerily frozen in midair.

"This is... spatial solidification?!"

The hairs all over Shadow Douluo's body stood on end as an unprecedented sense of mortal danger instantly enveloped him.

"Who is it?! Show yourself!"

Shadow Douluo roared in terror, frantically driving his soul power in an attempt to break free from the frozen space. Yet he discovered in despair that his soul power was circulating with extreme sluggishness.

As though it had frozen solid!

"A mere ant dares covet Wuhun City?"

A cold, noble female voice filled with boundless authority thundered beside Shadow Douluo's ears, as if it had risen from the depths of hell.

"Boom—!"

The darkness before him was instantly torn apart as terrifying purple-black demonic light swept toward him like a tsunami.

Within that sky-filling demonic light.

A breathtakingly beautiful yet bone-chilling figure slowly emerged. It was Bibi Dong, who had successfully condensed her second Soul Core and entered the realm of an Ultimate Douluo!

Behind her.

The Death Spider Emperor slowly condensed.

"An... Ultimate Douluo?!"

Shadow Douluo Xue Chen's pupils violently contracted to pinpoints. Pressed down by that terrifying might, he nearly fell to his knees.

There was actually another Ultimate Douluo in Wuhun City?!

Not a trace of warmth remained on Bibi Dong's exquisite face, while killing intent swept from her eyes as tangibly as a storm.

She could not even be bothered to release her soul rings.

She merely raised a jade-like hand, and a terrifying force of soul power infused with ultimate death and devouring attributes became a purple-black beam of light that mercilessly blasted toward Shadow Douluo.

"Pfft—!"

The defensive soul-guided shield Shadow Douluo had formed with all his strength melted like ice and snow the instant it touched the demonic light.

Accompanied by a shrill scream.

Shadow Douluo was struck as if by lightning, coughing up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his organs as he flew backward like a ragged sack.

"Damn it, Shadow Assimilation!"

While flying backward, Shadow Douluo endured the agony of his shattered organs, frantically burning his blood essence. His body directly merged into the deep shadow cast by a nearby building.

This was the ability he excelled at most.

However...

Just as he prepared to flee wildly through the world of shadows, he suddenly sensed an even colder and more terrifying presence within this dimension of absolute darkness.

The next moment.

A paper-white face bearing an endlessly eerie smile appeared before Shadow Douluo without warning.

"Who are you?!"

Shadow Douluo was scared out of his wits. In a domain that belonged to him, how could someone move through it even more freely than he did?

"With your paltry skill, you dare play at merging with darkness before me?"

A low, hoarse voice echoed through the shadow world. The owner of that figure was Gui Mei. Gui Mei sneered, his gaze full of mocking contempt, as though looking at a clown.

"Showing off before an expert!"

Before his words had even faded, Gui Mei's body, wreathed in nine soul rings, instantly transformed into countless black Ghost Shadows that tightly bound Shadow Douluo from every direction.

"No!!!"

Shadow Douluo discovered in terror that the shadow power he took such pride in was being ruthlessly stripped away and devoured!

"No... don't!"

In the darkness, only Shadow Douluo's faint, despairing whimpers remained.

At the same time, in the skies beyond Wuhun City.

"Boom—!"

The terrifying aura of Bibi Dong, a Rank 99 Ultimate Douluo, erupted completely in an instant like a storm sweeping across heaven and earth. It directly pierced Wuhun City's defensive barrier and spread mightily to the battlefield beyond the city.

That ultimate pressure, towering above all living beings and carrying endless death and destruction, made the souls of everyone present tremble.

"!!!"

Du Bushi's enormous dark green body suddenly froze in midair, and his arrogant laughter came to an abrupt stop.

He laboriously turned his stiff neck and stared fixedly at the purple-black pillar of light soaring into the sky from the center of Wuhun City.

"This aura... how is this possible?!"

Du Bushi's lips trembled slightly. There was actually a living Ultimate Douluo within this so-called Wuhun City?!
