From the time when he led an army of soul beasts to approach, to fighting the people of Poseidon Pavilion, to destroying Shrek City, to the invasion of the Far North, he had to urgently return to defense, and finally to the temporary peace talks with the Far North, so many things happened, Only one day has passed until now.
However, at this moment, Di Tian's expression changed completely, because he clearly discovered that the soul beasts retreating back to the Star Dou Forest in front of him were all extremely frightened, as if there was something extremely terrifying behind them.
All the soul beasts spread their legs and fled into the forest desperately, looking extremely chaotic. But the number of the soul beast army is so large, no matter how much they want to evacuate, the soul beasts in the rear cannot get up quickly.
"Could it be the pursuers of Shrek Academy?"
Di Tian first asked himself, but quickly rejected it.
"No, it's impossible, they don't have the courage. This is..." He first sensed Bi Ji's direction, and soon found Bi Ji and other ferocious beasts not far away, and immediately flew over with Huo Qiu'er.
"Bi Ji, what happened?" Before Bi Ji could answer with a solemn look on her face, Di Tian felt an extremely familiar and strong aura in front of her.
His golden-eyed black dragon bloodline became agitated, as if facing a challenger who dared to challenge his majesty.
This was a feeling that neither the Snow Emperor nor the Evil Emperor had given him, because the other two ferocious beasts did not have dragon bloodline.
Di Tian had only felt this kind of familiar feeling from the former Dragon God Douluo Moon. Only a strong man who had reached the Ultimate Douluo level and possessed a powerful dragon martial spirit could give him such a feeling.
No, not only Dragon God Douluo Munn, there is another person on this continent who is as famous as Dragon God Douluo Munn who can also do it.
Huo Yuhao was also hovering in mid-air, eyes wide open, trying his best to look at the huge black figure in the distance.
Even without the use of mental detection, no one could miss the huge figure entrenched in front of Shrek City.
It was a huge black dragon. It spread its dragon wings that covered the sky and the sun. Its whole body was covered with dragon scales as black as ink. Its huge body exuded terrifying pressure, and even the surrounding space was distorted under its pressure. .
Compared with Di Tian's body, the pale golden eyes of this huge black dragon are softer, but they are also full of kingly majesty. Under the low dragon roar, even Bi Ji and other ferocious beasts did not dare to approach rashly.
"Long Xiaoyao?" Huo Yuhao's eyes widened and he muttered a name in disbelief.
In this continent, apart from Di Tian, the only person who can display such a majestic dragon body is the Dark Holy Dragon, Dragon King Douluo Long Xiaoyao.
"Why is he here?"
The Holy Spirit Cult has disappeared since it withdrew from the Sun and Moon Empire. Huo Yuhao never expected that he would see Long Xiaoyao at this time and at this place.
The shock in his eyes quickly receded, and a kind of belated realization suddenly emerged in his mind.
There is no way that Long Xiaoyao is here to support Shrek against the beast tide. There is only one possibility for him to appear here, and that is that the Holy Spirit Cult is also here, and this beast tide was caused by the Holy Spirit Cult.
Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er looked at each other without saying a word, but they simultaneously understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
The initiator of this beast tide is undoubtedly the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Bigi, please protect the auspicious beast. I will go and check it out."
After Di Tian handed Huo Qiu'er to Brigitte, he flew towards Shrek City alone.
Huo Yuhao did not stay where he was and continue to wait and see, but changed his direction and flew towards Shrek City as well.
Because not only his feelings, but also Electrolux in the sea of spirits are also reminding: "Such a dense number of dead souls are being desecrated by those people using clumsy methods of soul manipulation. Child, you know what to do."
……
Shrek City where the beast tide has receded.
The south gate has been completely reduced to ruins.
After Ye Guyi killed another hundred-year-old soul beast with one sword, he held on to the sword with exhaustion and barely let himself fall. Looking around, the South City Gate, which had been reduced to ruins, was already covered with blood, rubble, and the corpses of various soul beasts.
She had never thought that those ten-year and century-old soul beasts that were so weak that even ordinary great soul masters could easily deal with them would cause such great trouble to her and other inner courtyard disciples who were already a Soul Emperor.
They can't be killed, they can't be killed at all.
Although many soul masters have range attack soul skills, they are of little use in the face of the huge beast tide, and the huge consumption of soul power cannot support them from using too many range attacks.
In the forest, as long as the pressure of a high-level soul master is released, the thousand-year-old soul beast will be frightened and the ten-thousand-year soul beast will flee in panic. But under the orders of the Star Dou ferocious beasts, the ten-year spirit beasts fell into a frenzy and attacked Shrek City, which was strong on the outside but incapable of others on the inside.
When ants bite an elephant to death, this truth is finally reflected.
Of course, Ye Guyi and others could easily ensure their own safety, but they could not stop the surging army of soul beasts from continuously destroying the city, and the aftermath of the battle was inevitable.
However, just when Ye Guyi and other inner court disciples were about to despair, Di Tian and other ferocious beasts actually retreated on their own initiative.
Not only Di Tian, but also the army of soul beasts began to retreat.
Upon seeing this, the morale of Shrek's side was high. The elders of Poseidon Pavilion immediately took charge of the overall situation, cleaning up the remaining soul beasts in the city, evacuating civilians, and counting casualties.
Ye Guyi looked around, at least here at the South City Gate, there was no longer any living soul beast. Shrek City really withstood the beast tide safely.
A sense of accomplishment and joy arose spontaneously, but soon, my heart was filled with endless loss and depression.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Dong'er slowly walked to Ye Guyi and asked with concern.
"Although the beast tide has subsided, we don't know when it will come again." Ye Guyi's eyes were a little dim, "And I don't dare to go back to the city to see. I don't know how many casualties there will be."
Shrek's disciples all have a guarantee of strength, but the civilians in the city do not. Ye Guyi has seen many civilians die in front of his eyes due to attacks by spirit beasts.
Wang Donger sighed and comforted: "You have to think on the bright side. If it weren't for us, the casualties would have increased several times."
"It is precisely because of you and the efforts of everyone at Shrek that we have protected so many lives, isn't it?"
Her comfort had some effect. Ye Guyi cheered up a little and said with a smile: "Well, you are right, we are heroes."
Above the South City Gate, Mr. Song arranged in a solemn tone: "Ditian and the others may come back at any time. Shixing, you are responsible for arranging the evacuation of the people."
"Lao Xuan, Shao Zhe, you two are the most seriously injured. Do you need any medicine?"
Life Douluo Elder Zhuang was healing the seriously injured Elders. Elder Xuan shook his head and said solemnly: "My problem is not big."
Yan Shaozhe also said a little weakly: "The side effects caused by Nirvana cannot be recovered in a short time by relying on Mr. Zhuang and elixirs."
Mr. Song nodded: "Shaozhe, you must be careful. If you are really weak, evacuate with the people. Reinforcements from the three empires will arrive soon, and Shrek City will be truly safe by then."
Yan Shaozhe shook his head and refused: "No, Mr. Song, I won't leave."
Mr. Song did not try to persuade him any more. After finishing his instructions, he looked at the plain outside the city and sighed.
The corpses of the soul beasts had filled all the places where one could set foot, and the dense soul rings shone brightly in the dawn.
At this moment, the light emitted by those soul rings seemed to jump in unison.
The next second, from south to north, almost at the same time, all the soul rings seemed to be attracted by an inexplicable force and flew in one direction.
"What, what's going on?"
Everyone in the Su Lao Group was completely stunned. They looked for the place where the soul ring was flying.
I saw several figures in white robes appearing in the sky, and in the hands of the leader, they were waving a huge black flag. The huge gravitational force is emitted by the black flag, attracting all the soul rings within sight.
"Is that...the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Elder Song immediately recognized the identity of the man in white, and she seemed to have guessed that this beast tide was closely related to the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Lao Xuan!"
Mr. Xuan's eyes widened with anger, and he was about to step forward and take down the Holy Spirit Cult.
However, just when they were about to take action, a powerful coercion emitted from above the Holy Spirit Sect.
It was an old man in black clothes standing with his hands behind his back, just hanging in the air, ignoring all the old people.
"Long Xiaoyao?" Mr. Xuan scolded angrily, "Could it be that your Holy Spirit Cult caused this tide of beasts? It has caused the destruction of all living beings. You are really unscrupulous."
Long Xiaoyao sighed softly and said at a loss: "Xuanzi, it is not my original intention to destroy all lives, and I do not want to embarrass Munen's descendants. Stand back. As long as you don't stop us, I won't take action."
Chapter 515 The Fragile Shrek City
The one waving the flag over the plain is the only remaining elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, Ten Thousand Souls Douluo. That big black flag is his martial spirit, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
As his martial soul and natal magic weapon, after decades of refining and nurturing, this Ten Thousand Soul Flag has become an extremely sinister soul magic weapon.
Such a treasure came to Shrek City after the beast tide today, and it had only one purpose, and that was to collect the power of souls that filled the mountains and plains here.
Ten Thousand Souls Douluo waved his arms excitedly, and on the black Ten Thousand Souls Flag, nine soul rings were neatly arranged.
Among them, the seventh soul ring suddenly emitted a large black light, and the Ten Thousand Soul Flags underwent startling changes.
The originally thin and straight flagpole was extended again, and the flag surface, which was originally only three to five square meters, suddenly expanded, covering the already gloomy sky like a curtain, and not a trace of bright color could be seen from the bottom up.
On the vast plain as dark as ink, the brilliance of countless soul rings is even more conspicuous.
An invisible huge gravitational force came from the sky-like flag, swallowing up the soul rings on the plain like a black hole.
Not only the soul rings on the corpses of soul beasts, but also transparent ghosts appeared one after another on countless human corpses within the boundaries of Shrek City.
All the ghosts' faces retained the ferocious look they had before death, and their mouths let out miserable screams, as if they were telling the pain they suffered during their lives.
The ghosts that appeared out of thin air frightened everyone. They stared blankly at the spot as one soul after another flew towards the Ten Thousand Souls Flag in the sky. The scene in front of them was beyond their understanding.
Some people want to touch the soul of the deceased, but they can't grasp anything with their hands. Only those who have learned the soul-like secret method can control the soul of the dead.
Whether it was the souls of human beings or the souls of soul beasts, countless dazzling and eye-catching soul powers flew into the air one after another, like an upside down downpour.
Ten Thousand Soul Douluo looked greedily at the power of souls all over the mountains and plains under his feet, his eyes filled with enthusiasm.
The soul power here is mainly based on animal souls, and there are also many human soul masters, numbering in the tens of thousands. Among the beast souls, the majority are soul beasts that are less than a thousand years old, but there are also a lot of soul beasts that are ten thousand years old.
These are not ordinary people with almost no soul power. With such a huge amount of soul power, even this evil soul master titled Douluo whose hands are full of blood cannot help but be moved.
You know, even though he kills people profusely and has more than 10,000 lives on his hands, most of them are just ordinary people, and there are not that many strong people for him to slaughter freely.
If you can completely refine all the soul power in front of you, with Ten Thousand Soul Douluo's current cultivation level of just over ninety, it will not be difficult to directly break through the Super Douluo realm in one fell swoop, and it may even be possible...
But the greed in Ten Thousand Soul Douluo's eyes quickly subsided. He knew in his heart that these soul powers were not something he could afford.
His Ten Thousand Souls Banner can already be called a magic weapon, but it pales in comparison to the Death Soul Guidance Device. If these souls could be sacrificed to the light of death, it would be a supreme honor.
At the same time, Ten Thousand Souls Douluo looked at Shrek with a hint of evil in his eyes.
According to the plan of the Holy Spirit Cult, the power of souls appearing here should not only be this small, but at least several times more. This beast wave ended too quickly, and too few people died.
What happened to the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Forest that they were defeated after attacking for only one day? Aren't those ferocious beasts the opponents of Shrek Academy?
The tide of beasts was caused by their Holy Spirit Cult. Naturally, they hoped that as many people would die as possible, but Xingdou's performance ruined their plan.
Unfortunately, there is no time left for the Holy Spirit Religion to wait.
When the restrictions on the evil soul masters who sneaked into Shrek Academy disappeared, Ye Xishui knew that it was only a matter of time before the Holy Spirit Cult was exposed, and there was no need to delay in absorbing the dead souls.
She herself also had to guard the Death God Soul Guide, but apart from her, all the remaining high-end combat power of the Holy Spirit Cult came out.
Long Xiaoyao, a Ultimate Douluo alone, was enough to intimidate all the Shrek experts, not to mention Zhong Liwu, who was at the peak of the ninety-eighth level.
The division of labor among these powerful Holy Spirit Cult masters is very clear. Long Xiaoyao is responsible for frightening the Shrek people from high places, while Ten Thousand Soul Douluo and other minions are responsible for absorbing the souls of the dead. As for Zhong Liwu, he came to the edge of the Star Dou Forest and released his Death Demon Puppet to absorb the beast soul below, while staring in the direction of the Star Dou with a solemn expression.
