The silver moon hung high in the sky, and the stars sparkled. Xu Mingxi led all the soul masters of the Star Crown Sect to stand atop Tianxing City's wall, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
The same was true for the other forces. The Dai and Zhu families stood together. The patriarchs of major families and masters from powerful sects silently gathered their soul power.
At midnight, a burst of orange-red flames shot into the sky toward the Heaven Dou Empire, illuminating the entire sky.
"Advance."
The martial spirit of Star Luo Emperor Dai Feng was activated, and his eighth soul ring lit up. A tiger's roar echoed through the sky, and an unexplainable fighting spirit enveloped everyone on the wall.
A starlight domain unfolded, and Xu Mingxi led the titled warriors of the Star Crown Sect to charge into battle first. Under the connection of soul power, a massive rain of starlight fell toward the Spirit Hall camp.
The soul masters of the other forces and Star Luo Empire's army followed closely behind, rushing out of Tianxing City. Martial spirits flared, and many Douluo experts shot forward like sharp blades, stabbing into the Spirit Hall camp.
The Spirit Hall's Soul Master Corps, still reeling from the fireworks barrage, was hit hard right away.
Golden Crocodile Douluo burst out of his tent in fury. Seeing the situation, he clenched his teeth. He hadn't expected to be ambushed right after warning the high priest to stay vigilant. It was utterly humiliating.
He attacked in rage, and a golden crocodile phantom appeared in the air. With a roar, he confronted Xu Mingxi's Scorching Sun Cannon directly.
A powerful light exploded at the point of collision, but the golden crocodile appeared unscathed and charged at Xu Mingxi. His punch exploded forward—but hit only empty air.
The 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone skill—Void.
As the wife of protagonist Tang San, Xiao Wu, a rabbit with ordinary blood, had awakened numerous absurd skills—now all in Xu Mingxi's hands.
"Void" was a nightmare for close-combat fighters like the golden crocodile. As long as Xu Mingxi had enough soul power, he was virtually untouchable.
The Golden Crow Wings reappeared, and Xu Mingxi, emerging from the void, quickly retreated. Scorching Sun Cannons kept firing from his side, and beams of moonlight transformed into whirlpools, blocking the golden crocodile's advance.
According to the pre-battle plan with the sect master, Tang San was planning to ignite a new round of war—a big one—and it certainly wouldn't be in their favor.
Xu Mingxi's task was only to stall the golden crocodile. The battle on the Heaven Dou side was the true main battlefield. Perhaps today, they would witness the fall of an invincible Douluo.
Xu Mingguang and Xu Mingwei had already reached near the Heaven Dou battlefield, using long-range soul tools to observe the situation. No matter the outcome, they would report back as soon as possible.
Other titled warriors of the Star Crown Sect shared the same thought. The night was their best stage. As infinite starlight rained down, even the sect master temporarily suppressed Qingluan Douluo.
The Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Dugu Bo joined in. Under the boost of Xu Mingxi's domain, they were able to fight Dou Guangling on equal footing.
Xu Mingxi also kept an eye on their battlefield—making sure Dou Guangling's arrows wouldn't harm them.
Emperor Dai Feng of Star Luo wished to end the battle quickly, but his power didn't allow it. He and Queen Zhu Lin were struggling to fight Lion Douluo using their Martial Spirit Fusion skill.
It could be said that everyone on the Star Luo battlefield—whether deliberately or helplessly—could only wait for the outcome of the Heaven Dou battlefield.
During the fight, Dai Feng's tiger eyes occasionally glanced toward Heaven Dou. He had never desired Heaven Dou's victory as much as he did now.
However, things weren't going as he hoped. Heaven Dou Empire was not gaining the upper hand.
At first, Tang Chen and Bo Saixi launched a joint attack. Catching Qian Daoliu and the others off guard, they destroyed the walls of Jialing Pass and slaughtered a large number of Spirit Hall soul masters.
The titled Douluo of Spirit Hall fought back fiercely but were stopped one by one. However, Qian Daoliu clearly felt Tang Chen's strength had diminished compared to a few days ago.
Sensing this, he immediately decided to lead the Spirit Hall's soul masters in a retreat. But how could Tang San and the others let them escape so easily?
Waves surged endlessly on the battlefield. Without the city wall's protection, titled Douluo and sea spirit masters from Sea God Island finally showed their full power.
A vast sea flowed toward the Spirit Hall soul masters. While it didn't kill them outright, it created an ocean domain.
In this domain, the Sea God Island soul masters could exert 120% of their strength. The land-based Spirit Hall soul masters were no match at all.
Other Heaven Dou Empire soul masters and soldiers took up the Zhuge Divine Crossbows provided by Tang San and shot down the Spirit Hall soul masters stranded in the water from afar.
Despite its years of operation, Spirit Hall wasn't easily toppled. The Angel Legion led their flying soul masters to attack from the air. Holy Angel Light harvested lives on a massive scale.
The entire battlefield was like a giant meat grinder. The sea created by the sea spirit masters was soaked in blood.
Bibi Dong, locked in aerial battle with Bo Saixi, could feel the death energy from countless corpses gathering into the earth. She had never felt more satisfied.
"Bibi Dong, how dare you get distracted while fighting me!"
"Heh, slut, why wouldn't I dare?"
Bo Saixi had been gravely injured in a previous battle protecting Tang San. Even after treatment from Master Ye Renxin, she hadn't fully recovered.
She could now suppress Bibi Dong but couldn't defeat her quickly. Both sides were evenly matched.
Tang San, stationed at the Heaven Dou rear lines, frowned as he watched the deadlock between the titled Douluo in the sky.
He then turned to look at Ning Fengzhi not far away, and Bone Douluo who was guarding him, and slowly walked over.
"Master Ning, how about letting Senior Bone Douluo join the battlefield? With his participation, we could quickly defeat Spirit Hall."
"Very well."
Reaching out to stop Bone Douluo from speaking, Ning Fengzhi opened his smiling eyes and looked respectfully at Tang San standing before him.
The last time Tang San had been attacked by Bibi Dong and ran toward him to shift the blame, Ning Fengzhi had seen through his nature. When things didn't affect Tang San's interests—or even benefited him—he was humble and polite.
But when his own interests were threatened, he could be a ruthless villain who didn't care about others' lives.
But now, with Tang Chen and Poseidon present, Ning Fengzhi truly couldn't refuse.
He waved his hand and summoned Wu Di, a newly titled Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who had been hiding in the team, and nodded to Bone Douluo.
