Xu Zihuang held the Golden Dragon Spear horizontally, letting it merge into the spatial rift. At the same time, the dark golden seventh soul ring's light instantly spread across his entire body. Immediately after, his body began to undergo a massive transformation.
"Ang—" A majestic and resounding dragon roar echoed through the heavens, lingering without end.
Piece after piece of thick, angular dragon scales covered every inch of Xu Zihuang's skin, with black-purple lightning and deep-purple flames swirling around his entire body, appearing extremely mystical. The lightning and flames looked distinct and clear, yet they subtly fused together, forming a black halo of annihilation attribute.
A pair of enormous dragon wings unfurled from his back. In the blink of an eye, Xu Zihuang had transformed into a giant dragon over a thousand meters in length.
Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon, Martial Soul True Body!
The Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon that Xu Zihuang had transformed into and Di Tian's original body, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, both raised their heads and let out long roars. The mirror-like feeling continued. Because the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon also had golden pupils and black scales.
Black scales were the true appearance of Xu Zihuang's second martial soul, corresponding to the annihilation attribute after the perfect fusion of ultimate lightning and destruction attributes. Although they were also black dragon scales, the annihilation attribute of Xu Zihuang's martial soul true body and the darkness attribute of Di Tian's original body gave completely different feelings.
Di Tian's darkness attribute leaned toward an unfathomable depth like an abyss, with purple-black airflow swirling around it, making the sky itself darken. Xu Zihuang's annihilation attribute was even more domineering, directly causing the surrounding light rays to dissolve into nothingness. At its root, light was also a form of energy.
However, around the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon's true body, there were still black-purple lightning arcs leaping and deep-purple flames of destruction swirling.
As for the pair of golden pupils of the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon's true body, they were the appearance of the Golden Pupil martial soul.
Although this could not be called a true self martial soul fusion skill, under the support of the yin-yang complementary three soul cores, Xu Zihuang's ability to use two martial souls simultaneously had already preliminarily possessed the power of a self martial soul fusion skill.
Ultimate lightning, destruction, annihilation, time, space, spirit. The six attributes possessed by the two martial souls reflected each other one by one. These six attributes could all be perfectly fused and combined according to his will.
Sensing Xu Zihuang's aura in his martial soul true body state, Di Tian's pupils suddenly contracted. He himself was the son of the previous generation's Dark Dragon King, with the purest dragon bloodline flowing in his body, yet Xu Zihuang was not affected in the slightest by his bloodline aura. Combined with the destruction-attribute dragon claw that Xu Zihuang had used earlier to block his Dragon God Claw attack, a memory inherited from the ancient era involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Besides the nine great Dragon Kings known to the world, there was also a tenth Dragon King who did not exist in the world, the Radiance Dragon King.
The Radiance Dragon King was not created by the Dragon God himself, but was born alongside the Dragon God, as the embodiment of the Dragon God's dark side. The Radiance Dragon King's combat power surpassed even that of the nine great Dragon Kings, and it would not be suppressed by the Dragon God's bloodline aura, because it was itself a part of the Dragon God.
Di Tian's thoughts raced. The anger that had nearly clouded his mind finally restored his rationality. A pair of dragon claws tore open space, and he vanished into the void.
The golden pupils of the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon that Xu Zihuang had transformed into, inscribed with obscure and complex patterns, flickered with light. Then his gaze focused, locking onto a patch of space beside him.
With a thought, his body suddenly half-turned. A streak of seven-colored light instantly swept past his side.
Di Tian's original body also emerged from the spatial rift, with seven-colored light shining on his right claw. It was precisely the Dragon God Claw.
Fire, wind, water, earth, light, darkness, space. The fluctuations of seven elements appeared simultaneously and erupted in an extremely powerful and chaotic manner.
The massive dragon tail swung. The black-purple lightning arcs and deep-purple flames of destruction around Xu Zihuang's body instantly grew stronger, forming a special light shield that blocked the seven-element power erupting from Di Tian's Dragon God Claw.
During this process, the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon's true body that Xu Zihuang had transformed into also flashed, crossing space to appear above Di Tian's head. It opened its dragon head and spat out a mass of black dragon breath.
Soul masters who possessed particularly powerful true dragon-type martial souls would master this dragon breath ability after breaking through to the seven-ring Soul Saint realm. Mu Lao and Long Xiaoyao both possessed such an ability. Xu Zihuang's martial soul quality was only stronger than theirs, so he was naturally no exception.
For example, the White Armored Earth Dragon martial soul inherited by the Holy Dragon Family could only control dragon breath through soul skills. From this, one could see the natural advantage brought by top-tier martial souls.
Di Tian did not dare to be careless and roared angrily.
A massive black dragon head phantom appeared out of thin air in front of him. It opened its mouth and swallowed the mass of dragon breath spat out by Xu Zihuang.
The binding force of the space attribute and the corrosive power of the darkness attribute fused together, actually clashing with this annihilation-attribute dragon breath for a brief moment. Di Tian once again dove into the spatial rift, avoiding Xu Zihuang's follow-up attack.
Space flickered. The two golden-eyed black dragons continuously appeared and collided. After each collision, they instantly separated. The energy fluctuations produced by each collision grew stronger and stronger, intertwining and soaring upward until they reached ten thousand meters in the sky.
This was already an absolutely forbidden zone for life. Even among human soul masters, no Limit Douluo had ever been able to reach this height. Only those who had mastered yin-yang complementary dual soul cores had any possibility of surviving here.
Looking up from Shrek City, the sky was a completely distorted space. The colors in the sky constantly changed, sometimes seven-colored light flickered, sometimes black-purple lightning, deep-purple flames, and pitch-black light spots spread everywhere.
Even though they were ten thousand meters apart, it still suppressed the civilians and soul beast army inside Shrek City below, preventing them from acting rashly.
They all knew clearly that this battle would decide the fate of both sides.
At this moment, a brilliant gold-red fire phoenix flew in from the east toward Shrek City and landed on the city wall of Shrek City's southern gate. The gold-red flames dissipated, revealing Ma Xiaotao's fiery body curves.
Looking at the dense soul beasts outside the southern city gate, the resentment in her heart from being left behind midway by Xu Zihuang instantly dissipated by more than half.
The elders of the Sea God Pavilion all noticed the anomaly on this side.
"Xiaotao?! Is it really you?!" Zhang Lexuan exclaimed in surprise, stepping forward to grab one of Ma Xiaotao's wrists.
Ma Xiaotao had always held genuine respect for Zhang Lexuan, the eldest senior sister of the inner courtyard. Her icy face instantly softened, and her expression became affectionate.
"Eldest Sister."
Ma Xiaotao then noticed the group of Sea God Pavilion elders behind Zhang Lexuan, as well as her teacher Yan Shaozhe, and also Xuan Lao and Mu Lao.
When she saw Mu Lao, she even forgot to greet Yan Shaozhe. With a mix of surprise and joy, she opened her red lips.
"Mu Lao?! You—"
From the relationship through Yan Shaozhe, Mu Lao could be considered Ma Xiaotao's direct grandmaster. Ma Xiaotao had often received guidance from Mu Lao since childhood. Among the inner courtyard disciples, she and Zhang Lexuan had the deepest affection with Mu Lao.
"Xiaotao, it's good that you're back." Mu Lao smiled gently and said, "Back then, I divined for you and said you were someone with great fortune. Now it seems everything has come true. A Title Douluo before the age of thirty, this talent is even better than mine back then."
"But compared to that guy, it's still far behind." Ma Xiaotao muttered somewhat gloomily, fully displaying a young girl's demeanor. In front of these close elders, she seemed to have returned to her former self.
Yan Shaozhe's eyes narrowed slightly. He was about to say something when Xuan Lao spoke first.
"Xiaotao, did you come back together with Tianhuang?"
"Yes."
Ma Xiaotao nodded inexplicably and said frankly, "He was the one who brought me back."
Mu Lao raised his hand to stop Xuan Lao and Yan Shaozhe, who were about to speak, and calmly said to Ma Xiaotao in a gentle voice, "Xiaotao, tell us. Tell us about your experiences over these years."
Ma Xiaotao looked up at the two giant black dragons clashing high in the sky and roughly understood the current situation.
With the terrifying strength Xu Zihuang had displayed earlier, being able to contend with the Beast God Di Tian did not surprise her. Moreover, with Mu Lao and Xuan Lao guarding Shrek City, the current situation should be relatively stable.
Taking advantage of the gap, Ma Xiaotao narrated her experiences over the years without hiding anything, including how Xu Zihuang finally arrived at the Star Sea Continent, killed the Demon Empress, and successfully absorbed her soul ring and soul bone.
Besides Xiong Jun, several great beasts on the soul beast side had also gathered together, constantly paying attention to the battle ten thousand meters above. It was no exaggeration to say that the rise and fall of the soul beasts depended on this battle.
Right now, the bloodline of the Emperor Auspicious Beast and the fortune of the Great Star Dou Forest have been stolen by those despicable humans. If anything happened to Di Tian, the Great Star Dou Forest would never have a chance to rise again.
The three heads of the Red King let out low, incredulous roars.
"Why is this human so powerful that he can actually suppress Di Tian?"
Although the Red King's cultivation was only a little over thirty thousand years, and its strength was the weakest among the several beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest, it still had vision. Di Tian had now completely fallen into a disadvantage, and that human soul master even gave it a feeling of having ease to spare.
If it had not seen this fact with its own eyes, it would never have believed that Di Tian would be firmly suppressed by a human soul master.
Bi Ji's pair of beautiful emerald-green eyes flickered with an unusual light, her gaze complex and mixed with worry.
The soul beast world had always revered strength. She could understand why such a powerful Xu Zihuang could attract the Auspicious Beast. However, if there was a chance, she would rather know the specific details.
She was only afraid that Di Tian might encounter misfortune today, causing the Great Star Dou Forest to lose its last hope.
The human-form Ten Thousand Demon King was a middle-aged man with a somewhat greenish complexion. His appearance was not particularly handsome, and even his eyes were cyan-green, a kind of eerie emerald green, completely different from Bi Ji's magnificent emerald green.
He looked up at the ten-thousand-meter-high sky, and his gloomy face was instantly replaced by astonishment.
Ten thousand meters in the sky, Di Tian made a grasping motion with his right claw toward Xu Zihuang. The seven-colored light blazed brightly, dyeing even his massive Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King body the same seven colors. A huge seven-colored dragon claw phantom quietly appeared, grabbing toward the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon's true body that Xu Zihuang had transformed into.
Xu Zihuang activated the Radiance Dragon Claw, thrusting one claw forward. On top of the original destruction-attribute energy, he fused in five more attributes, ultimate lightning, annihilation, spirit, time, and space, as well as the spacetime power formed by the fusion of the time and space attributes.
Compared to Di Tian's Dragon God Claw, every attribute contained in the Radiance Dragon Claw could be called a superior attribute, inherently stronger than basic attributes like wind, fire, water, and earth. Moreover, the annihilation power and spacetime power were both composite attributes formed by the fusion of two superior attributes.
Because of the spirit attribute acting as a mediator, the annihilation power and spacetime power could coexist with the other five attributes at the same time.
The seven-colored light shadow manifested by the Dragon God Claw stalemated for a moment before being instantly shattered by the Radiance Dragon Claw. This Radiance Dragon Claw, which contained seven superior attributes, was directly slapped onto Di Tian's original body.
The seven-colored light of a completely different color from the Dragon God Claw began to flicker continuously on Di Tian's body. Under an indescribable, terrifying impact force, his body plummeted downward. The speed was so fast that it seemed to pierce through layer after layer of space.
The people inside Shrek City, as well as the soul beast army on this side, all had dazed looks in their eyes.
They had never imagined that the Beast God Di Tian, who had ruled the Great Star Dou Forest for hundreds of thousands of years and was known as the number one beast on the continent, would be defeated in such an absolutely crushed manner.
"Boom—"
Di Tian smashed heavily onto the ground outside Shrek City. With his body as the center, the ground within several kilometers collapsed, forming a massive, deep pit. Smoke and dust rolled, condensing without dispersing.
Xu Zihuang dove down from the sky. During the dive, his martial soul's true body also dispersed into countless light spots. Having returned to his original form, he stopped above Di Tian's massive black dragon head with a calm expression and said,
"Di Tian, lead the soul beast army in retreat now. As I said, I will give you an explanation regarding the Auspicious Beast."
Because of Wang Qiu'er's connection, from the very beginning when he faced Di Tian, he had not used his full strength. Moreover, because of his appearance, Di Tian had not slaughtered the innocent civilians inside Shrek City like the Demon Empress had. He had no need to kill Di Tian.
For the last two soul rings of his second martial soul, he already had a better choice.
"Explanation?" Di Tian, whose aura was weakened, raised his massive head. A pair of golden eyes stared at Xu Zihuang. At this moment, he had instead become much calmer, his voice filled with mockery and bitterness.
"The Auspicious Beast became pregnant because of you, and her bloodline and soul were taken by you humans. And now you say you will give me an explanation?"
Hearing Di Tian's words, Xu Zihuang could no longer maintain his previous composure and calm. An unparalleled terrifying aura overflowed from his body.
It forced Bi Ji, the Ten Thousand Demon King, and the Red King, the three beasts, to stop in place due to the immense pressure, unable to approach even half a step.
Xu Zihuang's deep eyes contained rich killing intent. He raised his head and looked toward the north, then calmed his emotions and met Di Tian's gaze.
"Have the soul beast army retreat back to the Great Star Dou Forest. I will lead you to reclaim everything for her."
