Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

"If our sect does not resist, it will disappear into the torrent of history. If it resists, it will cause the hard-won unified continent to be engulfed in war again, putting our sect on the opposite side of the whole world. No matter what we choose, it will be a loss for our sect."

Ning Fengzhi's words left Bibi Dong speechless. That was exactly what she had been thinking. Jun Tianlin was too strong and his progress toward becoming a god was also very fast. Therefore, Bibi Dong hoped to unify the continent and create a fait accompli before Tianlin became a god. She understood that even if this guy became a god, he would never reignite the flames of war for his own selfish desires and would have to accept his fate.

Then she will issue a series of policies to restrict the development of sects. In a few years, the power of the continent will be completely concentrated in the hands of the Martial Soul Empire. She can then confidently hand over the throne to Hu Liena and ascend to the God Realm with Qian Renxue.

In fact, Tianlin had considered simply letting Bibi Dong unify the country, since he could control Hu Liena when she succeeded to the throne, and the continent would still be his.

But Tianlin gave up after thinking about it. Firstly, even if Hu Liena gained control of the world, the Martial Soul Empire would not be her sole domain. After all, those enshrined figures would not ascend to immortality, and they would never watch as the world they had worked so hard to conquer was handed over to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Secondly, when he controlled Hu Liena, he wasn't this strong. No matter how powerful a million-year soul skill is, it has its limits. Once Bibi Dong becomes a god, she should be able to discover that Hu Liena's mind has been tampered with, and at that time she will definitely break free from Hu Liena's control.

Therefore, Tianlin decided to rely on himself to honestly build this empire.

"Ning Fengzhi, since you won't retreat, then there's no need for further words. Let's start the war! I will ensure the annihilation of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Elephant Armor Legion, break through the city walls! Heavy cavalry, charge with all your might after the city walls collapse! Raze the entire Heavenly Dou City to the ground!" Bibi Dong ordered. No matter what, having fought this far, she would absolutely not retreat.

Dozens of disciples from the Elephant Armor Sect, imbued with their martial spirits, charged towards the walls of Heaven Dou City like tanks. Heaven Dou City was not like Jialing Pass; the walls would collapse after just one or two charges.

"Stop them! Breaking Clan, listen to my command! Attack!" Ning Fengzhi gave the order, and led by Yang Wudi, dozens of Breaking Clan disciples jumped off the city wall, wielding Soul-Breaking Spears, and charged towards the Elephant Armor Legion.

With a strong attack, the Breaker Clan's offensive power is comparable to the Defense Clan's defensive power. In terms of defensive power alone, the Diamond Mammoth is actually slightly inferior to the Defense Clan. If they recklessly take the Soul-Breaking Spear head-on, they will definitely suffer heavy losses under the spear.

Chapter 537 The Two Clans of Breaking Agility VS Elephant Armor Sect and Wind Sword Sect

"It's the Soul-Shattering Spear! Retreat!" Hu Yanzhan, the newly appointed sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, hurriedly gave the order.

Actually, he was just as simple-minded as Hu Yanzhen. However, in the original story, the reason why Hu Yanzhen was hit by the trident head-on was firstly because he did not know the power of the Sea God's Trident, and secondly because Tang San deliberately did not add any soul power to the trident so that the unsuspecting Hu Yanzhen would not feel any threat.

However, the Po clan's offensive power is renowned throughout the world, and it is a fact that it surpasses the Elephant Armor Sect's defensive power, so Hu Yanzhan dared not be careless.

The Elephant Armor Sect originally charged forward in a square formation, but now they retreated while trying to keep their ranks in order.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "A square formation, huh? This kind of formation seeks stability and can defend all four sides. When it crashes into the city wall, the force is also evenly distributed. However, it is countered by a cone-shaped formation. Gu Ran, change formation!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Gu Ran accepted the order. His current identity was no simple matter; he was the commander of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heavenly Dou Army. With a wave of his banner, he commanded, "Yang Wudi, listen to my command! Cone-shaped formation, break through the enemy's defenses with a single point!"

"Understood!" Yang Wudi led the Broken Clan, their formation resembling a cone, charging towards the center of the Elephant Armor Sect, rendering the surrounding defenses useless.

In the middle, the Elephant Armor Sect was constantly attacked by the Soul-Breaking Spear. The entire defensive formation was breached in less than a minute, and the formation collapsed.

Bibi Dong frowned in the distance. If the Elephant Armor Sect couldn't break through the city wall, her heavy cavalry regiment would be useless.

"Feng Tianlei, lead the Fengjian Sect disciples to provide support from the air."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Feng Tianlei led three hundred disciples of the Wind Sword Sect in a surprise attack on their swords, arriving directly above the Po Clan. Feng Tianlei's eighth soul ring flashed, "Eighth Soul Skill, Wind and Thunder Sword Formation!"

While the Destroyer Clan possesses formidable offensive power, their defensive capabilities are negligible.

The other disciples of the Wind Sword Sect also unleashed the Storm Chapter from the Wind Sword Technique, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Broken Clan.

Gu Ran shouted, "Brothers of the Min Clan, the Po Clan gave everything to protect you back then. Now it's time for you to repay their kindness. Take your weapons and charge!"

Hundreds of streaks of light flew out from within the city. Although the Wind Sword Sect was also known for its speed, it was far inferior to the Agile Clan.

Feng Tianlei sneered. What was there to fear from the Min clan? So what if they were fast? They were nothing but defenseless creatures. He sent fifty disciples to set up the Qingfeng Shield, which would be enough to block the Min clan.

He made the same mistake as Hu Yanzhen in the original novel: underestimating his enemy.

The hundred Minzhi clan disciples who remained at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were also equipped with weapons crafted from towering towers.

A hundred streaks of light darted wildly through the Wind Sword Sect's formation. Before Feng Tianlei could react, more than a hundred disciples had already had their throats slit by the Min Clan.

The best course of action against an enemy who underestimates you is to strike when they are unprepared.

"How is this possible?" Feng Tianlei was shocked. The Qingfeng Shield seemed to be made of paper and was easily torn apart by the weapon in the hands of the Min clan. When did such a weapon appear on the Douluo Continent?

The weapons he remembered were all standard military weapons, which might be useful for charging on the battlefield, but were basically useless for Soul Masters unless they were used in a pincer attack. Soul Masters relied on their noble Martial Souls in battle.

"You members of the Min clan, you're courting death!" Feng Tianlei didn't care about the reasons anymore; in his rage, he only wanted to avenge his disciples.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Illusion of the Wind."

Feng Tianlei split into ten clones and rushed towards the Min clan. No matter how strong the weapons those disciples had, they could not overcome the huge gap in strength between themselves and Soul Douluo. With Bai He not around, Feng Tianlei alone was enough to annihilate the Min clan.

Just then, a sudden chill descended from the sky, and all nine phantom clones turned into ice blocks, along with the Wind Sword of the main body.

"Sect Master Feng, I am your opponent. Please enlighten me!" A giant ice phoenix appeared in the sky; it was none other than Shui Qingwu, the dean of Tianshui Academy.

Gu Ran certainly couldn't let the Min clan go to their deaths without protection. Since Bai He wasn't around, he arranged for Shui Qingwu to temporarily take over as the leader of the Min clan.

Feng Tianlei's face was grim. Although Shui Qingwu's level was not as high as his, the Wind Sword was only a high-grade martial soul, while the Ice Phoenix was a top-grade martial soul. The huge difference in martial soul quality was enough to make up for the difference in level. He would definitely not be able to defeat Shui Qingwu in a short time. His plan to assist in the battle from the sky had failed again.

Bibi Dong was in a bad mood upon seeing this. In the first two rounds of the battle, she was completely suppressed by Ning Fengzhi. As expected, when it came to strategizing and deploying troops, she was far inferior to Ning Fengzhi.

Moreover, she couldn't just flip the table like she did when dealing with the Heaven Dou Empire. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wasn't the Heaven Dou Empire, and there were quite a few Title Douluos on the other side, especially Sword Dao Chen Xin. As long as she made a move, he would definitely come out to stop her. As Limit Douluos, even if she had twin martial souls, she would only have a slight advantage at most. If they really fought, she wouldn't be able to defeat Chen Xin in a few days and nights.

In fact, she had another trump card army at her disposal, namely the Angel Legion. Although it only numbered about seventy or eighty people, it was composed entirely of flying Soul Saints of level seventy or above. Once it launched an attack, even a Title Douluo could not stop it.

But now is not the time to use the Angel Legion; she is worried that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may still have hidden tricks up its sleeve.

The most urgent task is to break through the city walls; otherwise, her heavy cavalry regiment will be of no use at all.

"Space Tear Abyss Slash!" Bibi Dong was certain that since both sides' titled experts were locked in a stalemate, her sudden attack might have a surprising effect.

A crescent-shaped blade of light flew toward the city wall. This was a technique that could even tear space apart. Once it hit its target, it would rip the entire target to pieces and banish the corpse to another dimension.

Bibi Dong attacked without any restraint. Even though there were disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect in front of her, she didn't care at all. The Elephant Armor Sect, having lost Huyan Zhen, was no longer on her mind. It was only of some use in charging into enemy formations.

Now that they are restrained by the Broken Clan, there's not much point in keeping them around.

But while she could disregard the Elephant Armor Sect, Ning Fengzhi could not disregard Yang Wudi and the others.

Sword Dao Chenxin appeared in front of the Po Yi Clan, and a sword aura of the Annihilation Sword Dao also flew out.

Two enormous forces collided in the middle of the Elephant Armor Sect's camp, instantly tearing the sky and earth apart. Dozens of Elephant Armor Sect disciples, along with Hu Yanzhan, vanished without a trace in an instant.

The Sword of Annihilation can completely obliterate a person, while Bibi Dong's Abyss Slash can tear through space. These people have completely disappeared from this world.

Bibi Dong calmly withdrew her hand. Chen Xin had indeed been paying attention to her at all times, and reacted so quickly, causing her surprise attack to fail.

Chapter 538 The Great Melee

"Bibi Dong, do you want to start the war ahead of time? How about I fight you?" Jian Daochenxin, with the Seven Kill Sword in hand, took the initiative to challenge Bibi Dong.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I'll test your attack power as the number one attacking Douluo on the continent today!" As the emperor of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong couldn't back down when challenged, otherwise it would greatly affect morale.

Moreover, she must break through the city walls today, otherwise the casualties of the soldiers attacking head-on will be very high. At this point, it's time for the high-end combat forces to make their move.

When all the Title Douluos on our side have held back all the Title Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, that will be the time for the Angel Legion to strike.

The two Limit Douluos flew towards the sky. They both understood that with their combined attack power, if a battle broke out here, no one around them would survive.

Seeing that their own emperor had gone up, the other titled Douluo no longer hesitated.

On the Spirit Empire's side, seven people stepped forward, with the leader being Golden Crocodile Douluo. He was specially sent by Qian Renxue to assist Bibi Dong. After the rift between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong was resolved, the Spirit Empire was indeed much more united than in the original story. Behind Golden Crocodile Douluo were Spirit Kite Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, Sea Turtle Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Demon Subduing Douluo, and Thousand Jun Douluo.

Four of the remaining six elders and three of the seven grand masters arrived, which can be considered the majority of the Spirit Hall's strength.

"Seven Title Douluos, Uncle Bone, lead the troops out into battle," Ning Fengzhi ordered.

Led by Bone Douluo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also dispatched four Title Douluos: Thunder Eagle Douluo, Dragon Snake Douluo, and Poison Douluo. They were all elders of the school. In addition, there was Nine Treasure Douluo Ning Fengzhi himself, as well as the ally Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen who came to help. There were a total of six, which was not much less than that of the Spirit Empire.

"Hehe, we have the advantage in numbers, but with Ning Fengzhi, the Nine Treasures Douluo, here, we can't let his support light shine on too many people. We need to spread out our forces and break through the city from all sides," Golden Crocodile Douluo ordered.

The city wall has four sides. No matter which side is opened, the heavy cavalry regiment of the Spirit Empire can pour in. Although the Heaven Dou Empire left behind 300,000 troops, those people were defeated soldiers who fled from Jialing Pass. Some were wounded, some were crippled, and even those who were physically intact were terrified by the Spirit Empire. They were no match for the heavy cavalry regiment.

Moreover, once they scatter, Ning Fengzhi alone will be unable to provide support to all areas. Ordinary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support is not as formidable as Ning Fengzhi. The Spirit Empire also has support Soul Masters with the Golden Scepter, who are enough to contend with ordinary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples.

Unfortunately, they overlooked Ning Rongrong. Just as Ning Rongrong was about to step forward, Ning Fengzhi stopped her, saying, "Rongrong, don't act rashly. Once the battle between the various Title Douluos begins, you will be the only one responsible for defending the city. Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's strength in Title Douluos is not much inferior to that of the Spirit Empire, our number of Soul Douluos is far less. We only have a dozen or so, while they have more than fifty. According to Tianlin, Bibi Dong has even secretly hidden a flying force composed entirely of Soul Saints and above. They are all capable of breaching the city. When we are preoccupied, the Spirit Empire will definitely send out this force, and then we will have to rely on you."

"Yes, Dad, don't worry, I won't let any enemy troops into the city." Ning Rongrong is no longer as willful as she used to be; at least she knows how to make choices when it comes to important matters.

Ning Fengzhi assigned Yin Yang, Long Gong, and Dugu Bo to guard the three city gates respectively.

Yin Yang possesses two soul bones, and the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny have a martial soul fusion skill; both are capable of standing alone.

As for Dugu Bo, although his poison is terrifying in group battles, it can only be fully unleashed when charging into battle. Now that they are on the defensive, it is not the time for him to unleash his power, and he can only assist in defending the city.

As for the main battlefield, Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, and Gu Rong are enough to handle it.

Seeing this, three of the seven Title Douluos from the Spirit Empire dispersed: Spirit Kite Douluo went to the North Gate to fight Thunder Eagle Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo went to the West Gate to fight the Dragon and Serpent Douluo couple, and Sea Turtle Douluo went to the South Gate to use his poison-resistant tortoise shell to deal with Dugu Bo.

At the final East Gate, three Title Douluos from the Hall of Offerings faced off against the two sect leaders, Qibao and Landian, plus Bone Douluo.

With Ning Fengzhi's assistance, Gu Rong, at level 97, was able to take on Jin E, at level 98, while Yu Yuanzhen, at level 96, was able to take on two strong opponents of the same level.

"Hehe, Gu Rong, what's this? Last time it was Chen Xin, now it's your turn to fight me? Do you even have the qualifications?" Golden Crocodile Douluo mocked.

Gu Rong smiled confidently, “Whether we are qualified to fight or not will only be known after we fight. Your Majesty Golden Crocodile, you are the Second Elder of the Hall of Offerings, while I am the Second Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. In fact, we should be the ones facing each other. Old Swordsman’s opponent is Qian Daoliu.”

"Then come and try it." With his martial soul activated, Golden Crocodile Douluo lashed out with his crocodile tail at Gu Rong. Gu Rong was standing behind the city wall, so he couldn't dodge, otherwise the city wall would surely be broken through by Golden Crocodile Douluo's tail.

But with the Earth Bone Dragon's defensive capabilities, what difference does it make if it doesn't dodge?

Despite being struck by the Golden Crocodile's tail, the Bone Dragon remained motionless. Instead, its massive bone claws grabbed the Golden Crocodile's tail, violently flinging the Golden Crocodile Douluo away.

"Damn it, the best defense in the world? It's as immovable as a mountain." Golden Crocodile Douluo gritted his teeth. Although he didn't use any soul skills for that last tail strike, he used all his strength, and Gu Rong didn't even flinch.

What a magnificent Earth Bone Dragon!

On the other side, Yu Yuanzhen also received Ning Fengzhi's amplification and activated his full-body dragon transformation, facing off against the Qianjun Jiangmo brothers.

In terms of actual strength, even without any enhancement, Yu Yuanzhen would be superior to either of them in a one-on-one fight. However, these two brothers are of one mind, and their combined strength is greater than the sum of its parts. Even now, with Ning Fengzhi's help, his strength has doubled, and he can only barely manage to fight them to a draw.

Ning Rongrong was somewhat worried. She could see that the situation was actually very unfavorable for Ning Fengzhi and his group. Ning Fengzhi had to provide comprehensive support to two Super Douluo at once, which consumed a tremendous amount of his soul power. If the battle became a protracted one, they would be the ones to lose once Ning Fengzhi's soul power was exhausted.

Fortunately, Oscar is still there. As long as he eats the Mirror Sausage containing Tianlin blood and uses the Extreme Curse to Return Yin and Yang, Ning Fengzhi and the others can recover instantly. However, the opposing side also has that Golden Scepter Soul Douluo who is over level 80 and is continuously helping Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others recover their soul power. It is hard to say who will win this evenly matched war of attrition.

"Have all the Title Douluos been assigned opponents? But I'm still single." At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo led the Spirit Empire's Soul Master Legion to charge into battle again. They had one more Title Douluo than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was their advantage.

Now is the time for him to dominate the battlefield at Chrysanthemum Pass.

He didn't show up when Tianlin killed Master, and now he's become a considerable problem.

Yue Guan was accompanied by the sect leaders and deputy sect leaders of major sects such as the Rock Antelope Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, and Black Tiger Sect, as well as the hall masters of various Martial Soul Temples, totaling more than thirty Soul Douluos. This was what Ning Fengzhi had been worried about.

With Tianlin absent, these people can only be dealt with by Ning Rongrong.

"Damn Chrysanthemum Pass! Rongrong, you defend the city as Sect Leader Ning instructed. I'm going to meet them!" Flander, who had come to help his disciple's sect, shouted. "Royal Fighting Team, do you dare to charge in with me?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I'll lead the way!" Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the Shi brothers immediately rushed out of the city, showing no fear even when outnumbered.

Because they have a solid support behind them, namely Ye Lingling, the Nine-Heart Begonia who has reached the Soul Saint level, who will help heal them no matter how serious their injuries are.

Flander knew that these children's strength had long surpassed his, but as an elder, he would never let the children face a Title Douluo. Therefore, he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility and charged towards Chrysanthemum Douluo alone.

Chrysanthemum Pass chuckled disdainfully, "It's you again. You narrowly escaped death from the ambush in the valley back then, and now you dare to come to my death willingly? Do you think that becoming a Soul Douluo will make you a match for me?"
