Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 367 Even at the cost of life
"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Ma Xiaotao nodded, and behind her, the wings of a fire phoenix flapped, propelling her directly toward Di Tian.

At this moment, due to the suppression of the dragon race by the divine realm in the past, although Di Tian's power was strong, he still found it difficult to suppress a god who had broken through the limitations. Seeing Ma Xiaotao rushing over, he immediately ordered the others to flee.

"Escape? Are you kidding me!"

Upon hearing Di Tian's command, Xiong Jun sneered and roared as he transformed into his true form, a massive, dark golden bear body as large as a mountain.

"I never even considered running away when facing an enemy! Di Tian, ​​don't think you can show off your power all by yourself!"

Beside Xiong Jun, the other ferocious beasts also reverted to their original forms, their eyes brimming with fighting spirit. Their anger towards the gods reached its peak with the appearance of Ma Xiaotao!

Di Tian looked at the behavior of these ferocious beasts with a solemn expression. Ma Xiaotao had already come to his front. He didn't have time to think about anything else. His body was surrounded by black and gold lightning. He swung his dragon claws and fought with Ma Xiaotao.

Xiong Jun's cultivation was no match for the Spirit Emperor. Under his leadership, the Abyss Emperor and the Title Douluos of Shrek Academy continuously crushed the resistance of the soul beasts.

The battle was one-sided from the start. Although the ferocious beasts were brave, their strength was clearly no match for the Spirit Emperor, and they were forced to retreat steadily. Even Xiong Jun had wounds on his body, deep enough to expose the bone.

His soul-guided armor was completely shattered.

In the air, the Spirit Emperor had begun to seize the water and rich life force of the Lake of Life, causing the entire Star Dou Great Forest to tremble.

Just then, a streak of emerald light flew in from the horizon, instantly enveloping the group of ferocious beasts, and their wounds began to heal at a visible speed! Following closely behind were Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong.

The two maintained close contact with Di Tian. When Ma Xiaotao led her troops to attack, Di Tian had already informed them of the situation. After entrusting Huo Yuhao with the command of the army, they rushed over at top speed.

"Thank goodness, we're not too late!" Jiang Shengyu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

When Ma Xiaotao saw Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong arrive, she frowned and asked, "How could this be... how did they get here so quickly?"

Jiang Qingtong joined the battle, and her Ice and Fire Dragon Spear directly suppressed the Spirit Emperor and the group of Abyss Emperors he led. As for those Title Douluo, none of them dared to fight against Jiang Qingtong.

Jiang Shengyu came to Di Tian's side and said to him, "Senior Di Tian, ​​we are late."

Di Tian said solemnly, "The opponent is a god. Are you confident that you can defeat her? If not, leave here immediately! I will hold her off."

Jiang Shengyu waved his hand, telling Di Tian not to worry. He gripped the Tanhua Sword, and a bright purple light flashed. Just from the release of this aura, Ma Xiaotao's expression immediately changed. She said coldly, "Jiang Shengyu! Relying on external forces is not the right path. Let's see how long you can be arrogant!"

After saying those words, she turned and fled. However, during her escape, the flames she scattered quickly ignited the forests everywhere, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest was engulfed in flames.

Seeing this, Emperor Ling did not hesitate to gather the Abyss Emperors he had brought and flee.

Now that several of the top ten Abyss Emperors have died, the remaining Abyss Emperors, no matter how incompetent they may be, cannot be easily handed over to Jiang Shengyu and his group.

Jiang Shengyu stared at her as she fled, his expression filled with disdain.

Although Ma Xiaotao inherited the Phoenix God's divine position, she had never been to the God Realm and lacked sufficient divine power. In terms of cultivation, she was at most a high-ranking priestess, only around level 100. If she possessed true second-level god strength, then only Gu Yuena could be summoned to deal with her.

It was unclear whether she had been a demonic soul master for too long, or if Tang San had tampered with her during her resurrection; her personality was vastly different from before. Di Tian's gaze fell on the sword in Jiang Shengyu's hand, and he frowned as he asked, "This... is that the destructive power you used when you supported us last time? Why does it feel even stronger?"

Jiang Shengyu sheathed the Tanhua Sword and said slowly, "This is true destruction!"

True destruction?
Upon hearing this, Di Tian fell into deep thought.

True destruction that even gods can feel is rare.

But there was no time for Di Tian to think about these things. He looked at the forest engulfed by flames around him, his expression solemn. Just as he was trying to think of a way to put out the fire, Jiang Qingtong arrived between him and Jiang Shengyu.

"Beast God, don't panic, watch me."

Jiang Qingtong waved her hand to reassure Di Tian, ​​then plucked the petal of the Mirror Lotus that housed the Martial Soul of the Great Sea and flung it away.

The petals expanded rapidly in the air, and a vast blue sea appeared above the Star Dou Great Forest, as if the ocean had been moved into the sky!
The azure light transformed into raindrops, and the endless torrents washed over the entire Starry Sky Forest, extinguishing the flames. However, although the flames were gone, a significant portion of the forest had completely vanished, leaving only broken branches.

Looking at the devastated forest, Di Tian's expression was extremely grim.

"They have absolutely no environmental awareness," Jiang Shengyu sighed.

These trees can only be replanted after the event is over.

To prevent Ma Xiaotao and the others from making a comeback, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest, while Huo Yuhao led two major Soul Master Corps to rush from the direction of Star Luo City towards Shrek City.

Back at Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao's mood was unpredictable, casting a shadow over the entire academy.

Emperor Ling returned to the Abyss, informed the Abyss Saint King of the situation, and offered him the water from the Lake of Life that he had collected. Although it was not much, it was enough to make up for the losses the Abyss had incurred during this period.

"Holy Lord... Several more gods will soon appear on the Douluo Continent. Will their divine bodies be able to be used by the Holy Lord?"

After Emperor Ling offered the water from the Lake of Life, he asked this question again.

If the Abyss Saint King can take this opportunity to descend and devour the entire Douluo Plane first, then all the efforts the Abyss has made so far will be worthwhile!

Upon hearing the Spirit Emperor's question, the Abyss Saint King fell silent. After a while, he said, "No."

Emperor Ling was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

“Under the protection of Douluo’s laws, it will be very difficult for me to seize their divine bodies! Unless…” The Abyss Saint King paused abruptly, his gaze falling on the Spirit Emperor.

Upon noticing the Abyss Saint's gaze, Emperor Ling immediately replied, "Please give your orders, Saint, what do you require of me? I will certainly carry it out!"

"Even at the cost of your life?" asked the Abyss Saint.

Emperor Ling's expression changed slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and replied, "Even if it costs me my life! As long as the Holy Monarch and the Abyss succeed! A new Emperor Ling will be born! I will die without regret!"
