Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

However, this very attack instantly shattered the level nine soul guide shield that was supposed to be able to withstand attacks from titled Douluo.

"Am I dead?" Orange wondered blankly.

Faced with this force that she could not resist at all, she suddenly felt so insignificant and so powerless.

However, she soon realized that she was not dead.

Because around her waist was a strong arm, and the warmth emanating from that arm felt so real and so reassuring.

I instinctively turned my head and saw a cold, yet confident face.

Ju Zi felt a sudden dizziness. The Crown Prince, who had been in front of her, had somehow appeared behind her.

His warm and strong arms encircled her waist, giving her a sense of security amidst her panic.

"Your Highness..." Orange's voice trembled as she tried to say something, but she was stunned by the scene before her.

The once magnificent imperial study has now been reduced to ruins, with shocking blood-red lava flowing on the ground, still bubbling and emitting a nauseating sulfurous smell.

The bookshelves that once held precious books and antique artifacts are now reduced to charred fragments scattered in the lava.

Xu Tianran's face was terribly gloomy. Although he had expected this sudden attack, it far exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that, given his status and the strict security of the palace, the enemy would at most send out some Soul Masters below the eighth ring for probing attacks.

However, the sudden activation of the Blood Moon Eclipse completely disrupted his plans.

Even he felt a slight unease at the terrifying energy fluctuations.

He knew that among the enemies this time, there were definitely powerful experts at the Title Douluo level!

"Damn it!" Xu Tianran cursed under his breath through gritted teeth.

At this moment, above his head floated a bowl-shaped soul tool, emitting a faint golden light that enveloped him and Ju Zi.

This soul tool is dark gold in color and only the size of an ordinary rice bowl. It looks unremarkable, but the aura it exudes gives people an extremely heavy feeling.

Upon closer inspection, the bowl is also carved with dense and intricate patterns, shimmering with starlight, as if countless stars were rotating within it.

A layer of golden light gushed out from the mouth of the bowl, firmly protecting Xu Tianran and Ju Zi inside.

The crimson-gold light that Orange saw earlier was formed by the intertwining of the light of the Blood Moon Eclipse and this golden light shield.

This soul tool is none other than the ninth-level peak defensive soul tool—the Star Luo Heavenly Gang Shield!

Since being seriously injured in the last attack, Xu Tianran has been extremely concerned about his own safety.

This Starry Sky Shield was obtained from a level nine Soul Master at great cost; it was his last trump card for survival.

At this moment, the Starry Sky Barrier is fully extended, resisting all attacks from the outside world.

The crimson light in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the originally clear sky.

Standing high in the sky, Zhang Lexuan looked down at Xu Tianran, who was shrouded in a golden light shield, and a trace of regret flashed in her eyes.

Although the target of this surprise attack was only to test the strength of the Sun Moon Empire, it was not necessarily to take Xu Tianran's life.

However, if Xu Tianran can be successfully killed, it will undoubtedly be a huge victory for the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire were correct in their assessment of this point.

As the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran's death would inevitably cause turmoil in the court, and even internal strife.

This is also what Shrek Academy hopes to see.

The defensive soul tool on Xu Tianran's body emitted a faint light, like an indestructible barrier, blocking all attacks.

Even with the amplification of her companions' soul power, Zhang Lexuan's "Blood Moon Eclipse," which she unleashed with all her might, could not shake this layer of defense in the slightest.

A crimson light exploded in front of Xu Tianran, flashing like a dazzling firework, but leaving no trace.

She knew in her heart that this was her only chance.

The powerful figures of the Sun Moon Empire swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, their evil aura filling the air and suffocating everyone.

The soul-guided rays ripped through the sky, pouring down on her like dense raindrops, blocking all her escape routes.

The most deadly threat comes from the black phoenix soaring high in the sky.

It let out a sharp, piercing cry, and black flames roared across its body, scorching and distorting the surrounding air. It swooped down with astonishing speed, its target Zhang Lexuan, as if to devour her completely.

Zhang Lexuan gracefully floated backward, merging with the silver moon phantom behind her. Bathed in the silver moonlight, she appeared sacred and inviolable.

Faced with the menacing Black Phoenix, she did not choose to confront it head-on, but instead controlled the Silver Moon to slowly sink down, eventually landing back on the ground.

She was well aware of the dangers of fighting in the air.

In such a wide-open environment, she would become the target of everyone's attacks, and even with her great strength, she would find it difficult to withstand such a fierce assault.

However, the black phoenix relentlessly pursued it like a leech, swooping down from the sky with a long trail of black flames, like a messenger from hell, carrying an aura of destruction.

In the critical moment, Long Aotian stepped forward.

He roared, his body swelled up, transforming into a gigantic golden hammer, and soared into the sky with overwhelming force, heading straight for the black phoenix.

He needed to buy Zhang Lexuan precious time to retreat.

"Sizzle!"

A piercing scraping sound echoed through the sky as the golden hammer collided violently with the black flames, bursting forth with dazzling light.

However, this light was not a symbol of victory, but rather a harbinger of danger.

Suddenly, a strange dark red flame ignited on Long Aotian's body. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into his own people, causing a gasp of surprise.

In a direct confrontation, he was defeated, and defeated so thoroughly!

"It really is you. Xiao Tao, wake up!" Zhang Lexuan shouted. She flashed and instantly appeared where Long Aotian had been, blocking the Black Phoenix's path.

At this moment, she has fully released her Martial Soul True Form—the Silver Moon True Form.

She was enveloped in silver moonlight, as if she had merged with the silver moon behind her, exuding a powerful aura.

Zhang Lexuan gently raised her right hand, and a beam of bright moonlight, as thick as a water vat, shot out from her fingertips, blocking the Black Phoenix's path like a silver pillar.

However, a scorching wave of heat rushed towards her, and Zhang Lexuan felt the moonlight she released begin to distort under this high temperature, its power greatly weakened.

This is……

"Ultimate fire? No, it contains impurities and is not pure ultimate fire." Zhang Lexuan made a judgment instantly, and her expression became serious.

The black phoenix did not respond to Zhang Lexuan's provocation. It flapped its wings and transformed into a black lightning bolt, instantly appearing in front of Zhang Lexuan.

The Black Phoenix didn't use any soul skills; it simply swung its sharp claws at Zhang Lexuan. Zhang Lexuan was prepared and slightly shifted her body, narrowly avoiding the attack.

The Black Phoenix attacks with incredible speed; if one strike misses, it immediately launches another.

Its wings flapped, stirring up gusts of wind that enveloped Zhang Lexuan.

The gale carried sharp black feathers that shot towards Zhang Lexuan like blades.

Zhang Lexuan dared not be careless. The golden armor on her body shone brightly, forming a golden light shield that protected her.

The black feathers struck the golden light barrier, making crackling sounds, but they could not break through the barrier's defense.

Seeing that its attacks were ineffective, the Black Phoenix let out a sharp cry, and the black flames on its body instantly surged. With a sudden flap of its wings, it transformed into a black meteor and crashed towards Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan remained calm in the face of danger, her body radiating golden light, and the angelic phantom behind her solidified.

She clasped her hands together, and the Angelic Sword appeared in her hand, its golden flames burning fiercely as she charged towards the Black Phoenix.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, moonlight and firelight shot into the sky simultaneously, illuminating the entire night sky.

A massive shockwave spread outwards, snapping the surrounding trees in half and creating a huge crater in the ground.

At that moment, the battle in the sky also changed.

"Men, what are you waiting for? Charge!"

"I want to see how these guys can stop us without Long Xiaoyao." The sect leader, Poison Undying, unable to break through after a long siege, lost his arrogant nature and immediately gave the order.

Elder Xuan was slightly startled. Of course, he couldn't let Poison Immortal know about the changes on his side, so he could only send out the signal to attack. Let's fight it out first.

What if they succeed on this side?

The giant black dragon that Long Xiaoyao had transformed into seemed indifferent to all of this.

His figure swirled in the air, and in an instant, a large amount of black air transformed into countless dark meteor showers that swept towards Elder Xuan and Poison Undying.

At Long Xiaoyao's level, his immense power could even directly influence celestial phenomena. Xuan Lao and Du Busi had no choice but to focus all their attention on dealing with him.

The high-end combat forces of both sides began a full-scale clash in the air.

Almost immediately, Shrek Academy gained the upper hand.

It must be said that the Body Sect is incredibly powerful, and their style is similar to that of the Poison Undying Sect. They launch a fierce and relentless attack right from the start. There aren't many evil soul masters who excel at head-on confrontations.

Their strength lay in their cunning, ruthlessness, and special abilities. They were immediately suppressed.

As for the titled Douluo level powerhouses of the Sun Moon Empire, they naturally had no advantage whatsoever against the titled Douluo from Shrek Academy.

Xu Tianran had been keeping a close eye on the situation in the air, and as he watched his side become increasingly disadvantaged, his face turned ashen.

"Send word to the hall master to prepare." Xu Tianran's voice carried a chilling coldness, as if it came from the deepest abyss, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Yes." A man dressed in black knelt on one knee, respectfully accepting the order, and then disappeared into the shadows of the study like a wisp of smoke.

The study had long been destroyed, and most of the close attendants who had been by his side were dead, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground and a strong smell of blood. But this was the Mingdu Imperial Palace after all, and Xu Tianran would never lack manpower.

He sat upright on a golden chair, the armrests of which were carved with lifelike dragon patterns, as if to show his supreme status.

Not long after, Zhang Lexuan and the others from the three major forces, who were fighting on the other side, suddenly heard some strange sounds. These sounds came from afar and grew stronger, echoing through the palace like ghosts.

"Zha zha, zha zha, gaga, gaga, zhi zhi, zhi zhi..."

These sounds didn't come from one direction, but from all directions, as if the entire palace had come alive and transformed into a giant monster, opening its blood-red maw to devour them completely.

This is……

Zhang Lexuan's heart tightened, and a strong sense of unease surged into her heart. The moonlight on her body burst forth with all its might, surging towards the huge black phoenix like a tide.

The black phoenix let out a sharp cry, and waves of fire surged from its body as it pounced on her.

He appeared completely fearless, as if he were a messenger from hell, about to drag her into an endless abyss.

The powerful figures from Zhang Lexuan and the other three major forces quickly sensed something was wrong. Their expressions turned extremely grim because they were horrified to discover that the entire Sun Moon Empire's palace seemed to be undergoing changes. A suffocating sense of oppression was coming from all directions, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

The rooms surrounding the building, each protected by a soul-guided shield, actually moved.

That's right. They moved. Like steel behemoths awakened from their slumber, they began to move and transform, revealing their ferocious fangs, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Houses cracked open, like gaping wounds, revealing stark white bones beneath. Enormous cannon barrels emerged from within, like giant pythons flicking their scarlet tongues. Their cold metallic gleam, illuminated by the light of the soul-guided shield, exuded an aura of destruction, as if they were about to unleash devastating energy at any moment.

If Han Yu were here and had time to think carefully, he would definitely guess that the warehouse he discovered was not the only one.

Because there were almost no soul tools of level seven or above and fixed soul-guided shells there, only an empty warehouse, as if mocking his ignorance.

The other, even more valuable or terrifying, warehouse is located right here in the Mingdu Imperial Palace! And everything here is a supplement to that warehouse, consisting entirely of various soul-guided weapons of level seven or higher, enough to raze the entire Mingdu to the ground and turn anyone who dares to resist to ashes.

As the giant cannons slowly appeared and she felt the terrifying soul power rising around her, Zhang Lexuan's expression changed instantly. Without hesitation, she shouted, "Retreat! Retreat on the ground!"

Her voice was filled with anxiety and unease, as if she sensed a great disaster was about to befall her. (End of Chapter)
