Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

On the ground, shouts of battle shook the heavens, swords clashed, and the clash of soul energies created waves of shockwaves—everywhere was a battlefield of life and death. However, those caught in this chaos unexpectedly became the safest group. Because the Sun Moon Empire's terrifyingly powerful soul-guided cannons were not aimed at the ground, but directly at the sky!

This choice was not without reason.

The Mingdu Imperial Palace was the power center of the Sun and Moon Empire, symbolizing the empire's majesty and glory.

If artillery fire were unleashed on the ground near the palace, it would inevitably cause incalculable damage to the palace buildings themselves, and even the entire Ming capital city.

Attacking the sky, on the other hand, can minimize this risk and keep the destructive power within a controllable range.

However, for those powerful individuals high in the sky, this sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, plunging them into an unprecedented crisis.

Once you reach the level of a Title Douluo, you'll already be able to sense the ominous signs of danger lurking in the shadows.

These omens may seem insignificant on ordinary days, but once they appear, it means they are about to face a life-or-death test.

At this very moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly enveloped the hearts of all the Title Douluos, like a persistent leech that could not be shaken off.

The feeling was so real, so intense, as if death would descend at any moment and devour them completely.

Fear spread like a tide, causing even these usually powerful figures to feel a sense of unease.

They instinctively looked down, trying to find the source of the crisis.

Below, the Ming Dynasty palace had been transformed into a steel jungle.

Thick, massive cannon barrels, like the fangs of a giant beast, emerged from all parts of the palace, pointing straight to the sky. Within the muzzles, intense light flickered, radiating chilling energy fluctuations that revealed the terrifying power they contained.

Each of these giant cannons is a masterpiece of soul-guided devices.

Even the smallest of them has a diameter of over a foot, enough to shatter hard rock, let alone flesh and blood!

As Xuan Lao's gaze swept across the area, he spotted a particularly striking giant cannon atop a high platform.

The giant cannon was entirely black, with intricate patterns carved on its barrel, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Its muzzle reached an astonishing two meters in diameter, like a giant black hole, as if it would devour everything in the world!

Even Elder Xuan, who didn't know much about soul tools, could tell that this was definitely a super soul tool of level eight or above!

In fact, some of them may even be fixed-mount soul tools with even more terrifying power!

At this moment, Elder Xuan finally understood why Elder Mu had repeatedly emphasized that the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology should not be underestimated.

"Han Yu was right! Attacking the imperial palace was a mistake from the start."

Elder Xuan sighed inwardly, his face full of bitterness.

As a nation renowned for its soul-guided devices, how could the Sun Moon Empire not be wary of attacks on its imperial palace?

Poison Undying's eyes flashed with a cold light as he prepared to use his abilities to forcefully break through the encirclement with everyone.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened!

Long Xiaoyao's already enormous dragon body began to change once again!

The once solid dragon scales now appeared somewhat ethereal, as if shrouded in a thin mist. Yet, this ethereal form instantly increased in size.

Long Xiaoyao's body began to undergo drastic changes. Scales emerged from under his skin, shimmering with a dark light. Golden flames burned in his eyes, and enormous dragon wings spread out, blotting out the sky and the sun. His roar was deafening.

He transformed into a black dragon a thousand meters long, like a moving mountain range, hovering in mid-air.

Poison Immortal and Elder Xuan, along with the numerous Title Douluos behind them, were all stunned by this sudden, enormous creature.

Long Xiaoyao waved his enormous dragon wings, stirring up a gale, trying to force them back.

"Retreat!" Elder Xuan shouted decisively. He knew that facing such a powerful opponent, a direct confrontation would only increase casualties.

The powerful figures from Shrek Academy had already received Elder Xuan's instructions, and upon hearing the order to retreat, they immediately understood. They all feigned an attack, then quickly disengaged from the battle and retreated to the rear.

Seeing the Shrek Academy members retreat, Poison Undying knew the situation was hopeless and could only reluctantly order a retreat. As he retreated, he couldn't help but mutter a few curses under his breath, clearly furious at the failure of the operation.

The titled Douluo transformed into streaks of light, piercing the sky and quickly disappearing into the distance.

They retreated extremely quickly, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult also raised his hand, signaling his men to stop the pursuit.

He looked down at the dense array of soul-guided cannons below and felt a wave of fear wash over him.

The military strength of the Sun Moon Empire is indeed formidable, far beyond what a single sect can contend with.

Xu Tianran stood on the high platform, looking at the scene before him, a satisfied smile on his face.

Everything went according to his plan. The operation was a great success, striking at the power of Shrek Academy and the Body Sect while demonstrating the strength of the Sun Moon Empire.

Standing beside Xu Tianran, Ju Zi looked at the man before her, so composed and resourceful, filled with admiration. She noticed that Xu Tianran's legs had returned to normal, and he could stand and walk again.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that Xu Tianran was wearing a pair of exquisitely crafted prosthetics, which would be completely unnoticeable without careful observation.

"A level nine soul tool!" Ju Zi exclaimed in her heart. She recognized that the prosthetic limb Xu Tianran was using was a level nine soul tool.

Level 9 soul tools are top-tier soul tools that only titled Douluo-level powerhouses can use, and each one possesses earth-shattering power.

Ju Zi thought she knew Xu Tianran very well, but she never expected him to possess such formidable strength.

Being able to use a level nine soul tool means that Xu Tianran is at least a level eight Soul Douluo, and may even have reached the level nine Soul Douluo.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is so powerful!" Orange was shocked. To possess such strength at just over thirty years old, such talent was extremely rare, even in the talent-rich Shrek Academy.

Xu Tianran released his arms from Ju Zi's waist, looked at the beauty before him, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, and sighed, "You're so good, so very good. You're still the same as you were back then."

Ju Zi looked up at him, and in the Crown Prince's eyes, she actually caught a glimmer of emotion. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I can't possibly love you. My feelings for you are only those of a servant."

Xu Tianran's gaze lingered on that slender figure for a moment, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

Orange, a name as dazzling as the warm spring sun, stirred up a strange ripple in his heart at this moment.

He gazed at the orange and turned to leave. Her elegant dress outlined her shapely figure, like a budding orchid exuding a delicate fragrance.

His gaze unconsciously fell on her delicate, flawless skin, as smooth as jade and as white as snow, as if it would melt at the slightest touch.

Deep in his heart, an indescribable longing quietly arose, but he forcibly suppressed it.

What a pity, he sighed inwardly. If it weren't for that incident, if he hadn't been burdened with such a heavy responsibility, perhaps he really could have... This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, but he quickly extinguished it.

He cannot, and does not deserve, such a pure affection.

He had more important things to do; his fate was already sealed, destined to walk alone on this thorny path.

Oranges, in the end, could only be a passerby in his life, a beautiful illusion that stirred his heart but could never be touched.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the strange emotion in his heart, and regained his usual calm and dignity.

"Proceed according to plan and drive them westward."

All Soul Master regiments in the east, south, and north directions are placed under the highest level of martial law; they must not be allowed to escape from these three directions.

He issued the order in an icy tone, as if his momentary lapse in concentration was merely the illusion of others.

"Yes!" Orange replied respectfully, turned and left quickly. She didn't notice the complicated gaze behind her. Her mind was already focused on the upcoming operation, and her heart was filled with worry and unease about the future.

Just then, a dazzling streak of light pierced the night sky and lit up the distant horizon.

This beam of light was incredibly peculiar, as if it possessed a life of its own. After ascending into the sky, it transformed into a monstrous, emerald-green face, grotesque and terrifying, lingering in the night sky for a long time, as if silently proclaiming something.

The Shrek Academy students, who were evacuating at full speed, immediately noticed the sudden light.

"Good!" A hint of joy flashed in Elder Xuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but punch his left palm, letting out a low shout.

However, before his joy could spread, another beam of red light shot into the sky, echoing the previous green light. It also transformed into a hideous monster face, hovering in the night sky and radiating a chilling pressure.

Elder Xuan's expression changed drastically, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He shouted in a deep voice, "Go! Everyone out of the West City, immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the west gate. Seeing this, the others did not dare to delay and quickly followed behind.

Poison Immortal was flying not far from Elder Xuan when he saw the Shrek Academy group suddenly change direction and fly west. He was immediately taken aback and couldn't help but shout, "Xuanzi, what are you doing? Do you really think it's easy to leave just because there are no defenses in the west?"

Elder Xuan was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, it seems that the Body Sect has indeed left a backup plan and is not completely unprepared. However, they also have their own plans. Although there may be danger in the west, the defenses in the other three directions are even more robust and they are not something they can easily break through.

He had to consider the safety of the Shrek Academy team and the Body Sect team. These two teams were going to participate in the finals tomorrow, and they couldn't risk breaking through now. Otherwise, breaking through together with the Body Sect would be a good option.

Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, "Old Poisoner, we have our own plans, you don't need to worry."

"Our friendship will endure, like the mountains and rivers flowing forever. We'll meet again!" He paused, then lowered his voice and added, "Here's a hint: leave the city immediately and don't linger."

With that, he waved his right hand, and the powerful soul energy fluctuations instantly tore apart the surrounding air, forming a powerful thrust that propelled the Shrek Academy students forward.

The people behind him only felt a blur before their eyes and the wind whistling in their ears. When they regained their footing, they were already a hundred meters away.

Elder Xuan waved his hand again, and led everyone to transform into streaks of light, rushing towards the west gate.

Poison Undying was slightly taken aback. Elder Xuan's last sentence was spoken very quickly, clearly not wanting others to hear it, but he still keenly grasped its meaning.

He knew that given Elder Xuan's personality, there must be a reason for his statement. Moreover, he trusted Elder Xuan's abilities; if he dared to stay, he must be confident in his ability to escape unscathed.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, listen to my command! Retreat immediately! Target: West Gate!" With that, he flashed away, leading his men and the experts of the Star Luo Empire towards the West Gate.

In this raid on the Sun Moon Empire's palace, their plans were clearly more meticulous.

The experts from the Body Sect and the Star Luo Empire quickly rushed into the street and met up with Princess Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina according to the predetermined route.

"Grandpa, is it done?" Princess Vina asked eagerly.

Poison Undying said helplessly, "It didn't work. The defenses of the Sun Moon Empire's palace are too strong. That shameless old man, Long Xiaoyao, was indeed there."

"Hurry up, I just saw a signal from Shrek Academy in the sky. Xuanzi is telling us to leave the city quickly; they must have arranged something else. Set off immediately, don't linger."

After a long pause, he asked, "Senior Poison, aren't the people from Shrek Academy coming with us?"

Du Busi snorted and said, "Xuanzi values ​​honor very much."

Their match isn't over yet. If they leave now, wouldn't that give others cause for criticism? Shrek Academy has always prided itself on being aboveboard; they won't leave at this point.

Let's go. Anyway, our stuff can't hold too many people. I'm sure with Shrek's abilities, even if we suffer a little loss, it won't be too great.

To be honest, I'm rather looking forward to seeing what surprises Xuanzi's words will bring me. "Immediately order all your men to depart."

"Okay." Xu Jiujiu wasn't one to hesitate or be indecisive, and immediately gave the order without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, Elder Xuan led the Shrek Academy students out of the city in no time.

Qian Duoduo caught up with Elder Xuan, "Elder Xuan, shouldn't we go back first? We haven't openly broken ties yet, and the Body Sect still has the finals tomorrow." (End of Chapter)
