Golden armor enveloped Xu Tianyuan, with red patterns etched onto it, depicting the imperial crest of the Sun Moon Empire.
A metal ring floated behind him, radiating light with the fluctuations of Xu Tianyuan's spirit power, as if a sun had risen behind him.
Du Busi was greatly alarmed. It was not his first time encountering Xu Tianyuan. When Tianling City was breached, Xu Tianyuan was on the front lines, and at that time, he was merely an ordinary Titled Douluo.
However, after this set of armor appeared on Xu Tianyuan, his aura continuously increased, already on par with Du Busi, who was a Super Douluo.
"Is this also a Soul Guidance Device?"
Du Busi was deeply shocked, but the Sun Moon Empire's true strength was far from limited to this. Just as Xu Tianyuan displayed this new type of Soul Guidance Device, golden lights also illuminated from the Royal Dragon Soul Master Corps on the ground.
More than a dozen Soul Masters also ascended into the air, and amidst a mechanical whirring, golden armor similarly enveloped them. They only had eight spirit rings around them, but their auras were already pressing close to the Titled Douluo Realm.
Unlike Xu Tianyuan, the other Soul Masters did not have the sun-like device behind them, and the patterns on their metal armor were not imperial crests, but dragon patterns outlined in purple.
Xu Tianyuan clasped his hands together, and the more than a dozen Soul Masters behind him made the same gesture. In the next instant, dozens of golden lights surged into the "sun" behind Xu Tianyuan, and a golden-red attack roared down toward Du Busi.
From Du Busi ascending into the air to Xu Tianyuan's attack, only a few short breaths passed. Feng Ling was still watching the crowd in Shrek Academy.
It was at this moment that a feeling of dread suddenly came from outside the Academy, and then she saw the combined attack of Xu Tianyuan and dozens of Soul Masters from the Royal Dragon Soul Master Corps.
During the Soul Duel Tournament, Meng Hongchen of Sun Moon Royal Academy had once demonstrated this type of Soul Guidance Device.
It was a Soul Guidance Device that could perfectly integrate a Soul Guidance Device and a Spirit. Unexpectedly, after several years, the Sun Moon Empire's technology had advanced to this extent.
Of course, Feng Ling did not know that even Xu Tianyuan before her was merely an experiment by the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Empire's goal was to create a Soul Master Corps where everyone could be equipped with this type of humanoid Soul Guidance Device.
Du Busi dared not be careless in the face of such an attack. His seventh spirit ring flickered, and a giant green figure rose behind him.
The halo behind Xu Tianyuan seemed to transform into a real sun, its dazzling light illuminating the entire night sky.
In the next moment, another golden light, no less brilliant than his, rose from Sea God Island.
This light was not as dazzling as the one around Xu Tianyuan, but as the light spread, everyone bathed in it felt a sense of warmth.
In the Void Realm above Sea God Island, a tall ancient tree was faintly discernible, its golden leaves swaying in the wind.
By Sea God Lake, the injuries on the guards slowly healed under the illumination of this light. A clear phoenix cry rang out, and the Sea God Lake shore glowed brightly. Yan Shaozhe's figure had already shot toward Feng Ling.
The other elders no longer showed any signs of their previous injuries or excessive consumption. In fact, their strength greatly increased under the illumination of this golden light, and they all charged into the ranks brought by Feng Ling.
"Yan Shaozhe." Feng Ling spat out the three words through gritted teeth, then black flames churned around her as she flew toward Yan Shaozhe.
On the other side, after Xu Tianyuan launched his previous attack, two spirit rings around him also lit up. The metal halo behind him changed, and dozens of golden-red rays of light enveloped Du Busi.
However, these attacks were all blocked by a crystal-yellow light shield.
"Xuan Zi, how did you recover so quickly?"
Xuan Zi stood in the air, his phantom behind him even more mystical. He had no intention of answering Xu Tianyuan's question, only raising his hand to attack him.
"No!"
Mirror Hongchen, who was still outside the city, suddenly changed his expression.
He was not surprised by the changes in the city. After all, Shrek Academy having a backup plan was within their expectations. But when Xuan Zi reappeared in the air, a sudden unease arose in his heart.
They had personally witnessed Xuan Zi being struck down from the air by Di Tian. Although they had not gotten too close, their eyesight was sufficient to clearly see the injuries Xuan Zi had sustained. Such injuries, even for a Titled Douluo, could not be recovered from in a short time.
However, before he could think further, the temperature around him suddenly rose sharply. A vast sea of fire had already spread toward their Soul Guidance Device formation, and even before the flames touched the Soul Master Corps, some Soul Guidance Devices had already begun to melt.
Ultimate Fire.
Under the illumination of the golden light from Sea God Island, Ma Xiaotao felt as if her spirit power was endless. Without further hesitation, she fully unleashed her Ultimate Fire. The soil dried, the earth cracked, and even the ashes of the plants that had burned disappeared into the flames.
Ma Xiaotao was not the only one attacking the Soul Guidance Device formation. Although Mirror Hongchen had already ordered a retreat, Xu Tianyuan had previously pushed the front line to rendezvous with the troops who had already entered the city. How could the speed of the massive Soul Master Corps' retreat compare to the speed of Shrek Academy's Titled Douluo in pursuit?
Just as Shrek Academy launched its counterattack, a figure was continuously approaching from the north.
"Bingbing, try to be more open-minded. Maybe Snow Empress just left the Extremely North Land?"
In Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Tianmeng Iceworm was comforting Ice Empress, but Ice Empress remained silent.
"Or perhaps she, like me back then, encountered some thousand-year ice marrow and fell asleep?"
"Wait, Brother Tianmeng." Just as Tianmeng Iceworm was still trying to persuade her, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke, interrupting him.
"What is it, Yuhao?"
"Is that the Sun Moon Empire?"
Huo Yuhao had excellent eyesight and saw what was happening above Shrek City from afar. Although he still did not know exactly what had happened, with the Sun Moon Empire already inside Shrek City, Huo Yuhao did not want to think about what would happen next.
"Where's Mama? How is Mama?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes turned red as he muttered to himself, flying rapidly toward Shrek City.
Before he even got close, he sensed the aura of Evil Soul Masters emerging from Shrek Academy.
At this moment, he could no longer care about many things. His spirit power surged, and a tall gray figure rose behind him. A gray spirit ring continuously pulsed around him, and his third Spirit, which had never been displayed before, appeared before everyone for the first time.
Huo Yuhao's eyes had completely turned gray. One intricate incantation after another spilled from his mouth. On the ground, some Evil Soul Masters who were manipulating Souls in battle suddenly found that the Souls under their command were no longer controllable and were instead turning to attack them.
