From extreme despair to the arrival of hope, a miracle occurred for one person alone.
The enormous contrast before and after made Xu Zihuang's image in the eyes of the Dragon City crowd become incomparably majestic. That noble and dazzling golden light, along with the fine white snow that once again drifted down from the sky, was like silent hymns, welcoming and setting off Xu Zihuang's arrival.
The scene of Xu Zihuang single-handedly suppressing Zhongli Wu, Feng Ling, and the other twelve evil soul master Title Douluo was still deeply etched in their minds.
And the Xu Zihuang who had accomplished this looked to be only about twenty years old. His appearance, temperament, talent, and strength were all impeccable, perfect without the slightest flaw.
That wild and unrestrained arrogance unconsciously tugged at everyone's hearts.
The commoners inside Dragon City, stirred by their emotions, began to cheer loudly, their voices soaring into the clouds.
"Title Douluo?"
Even Nan Qiuqiu, who had always harbored some prejudice against Xu Zihuang, was deeply attracted by him. Her beautiful eyes were momentarily dazed, her red lips slightly parted as she murmured to herself.
"Is that the guy?"
Her beautiful eyes held the relief of surviving a disaster, as well as a sense of bewilderment.
The impact Nan Qiuqiu received internally was even greater than that of Zhongli Wu and the others. At least Zhongli Wu and company knew that more than two years ago, Xu Zihuang's soul power cultivation had already reached the Soul Douluo level, and his combat strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Title Douluo.
Nan Qiuqiu's impression of Xu Zihuang, however, was still stuck at the time of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
She could not imagine at all that Yu Tianhuang could, in just four short years, repeatedly break through to the Title Douluo realm, possess such terrifying soul ring ratios, and even be able to single-handedly and casually suppress a full twelve evil soul masters at the Title Douluo level.
Among these people, more than half were Super Douluo.
After slightly calming her own emotions, Nan Qiuqiu led the disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect toward Nan Shui Shui's side. The emotions in her eyes became unusual, and a blush rose on her pretty face.
"With this guy's excellence, I'm afraid there isn't a second person on the entire continent who could compare to him. No wonder the naturally proud Bone-Clad Sister was so tolerant of him in that regard."
During the period when the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament was held in Ming City, Ye Guyi had privately sought out Nan Shui Shui and Nan Qiuqiu. Nan Qiuqiu knew about the relationship between Yu Tianhuang and Ye Guyi.
Of course, she was unaware that Xu Zihuang possessed half of the Sun Moon Empire's imperial bloodline.
Yu Tianlong was also extremely astonished, and even more so, at a loss. He considered his own talent and strength to be among the very top tier among his peers. Not yet twenty-five years old, his soul power cultivation was not far from breaking through the bottleneck of the eight-ring Soul Douluo realm.
But compared to his cousin Yu Tianhuang, the gap was simply too vast.
However, what made him feel genuinely relieved from the bottom of his heart was that the crisis in Dragon City had been resolved. The sect's fellow disciples and some elders had all survived this war.
The overall strength of the Heaven Dragon Sect was far superior to that of the Earth Dragon Sect, whether it was the older-generation elders within the sect or the young-generation elites. Naturally, the losses suffered by the Heaven Dragon Sect were much smaller than those of the Earth Dragon Sect.
Yu Yangyan's figure slowly descended beside Xu Zihuang. Looking at Xu Zihuang's appearance, which greatly resembled that of his youngest daughter, the sharp glint and fierceness in his eyes faded considerably, replaced by a complex expression.
"What do you plan to do next?"
Xu Zihuang calmly looked toward Yu Yangyan, his tone indifferent.
"Ever since I escaped imprisonment as a child, I have had only one goal. That is to completely settle the grudge between them and me, and to take back everything that should have belonged to me."
As he spoke, Xu Zihuang's figure disappeared into the void. There was no reluctance, only firmness and resolute determination.
Yu Yangyan's brows furrowed tightly, but he soon let out a self-mocking laugh and relaxed them. Back then, he had thought he could protect Xu Zihuang for life in that way, but in reality, it had all been his own wishful thinking.
Xu Zihuang's talent simply could not be measured by common sense.
Yet besides the self-mockery, he also saw an even greater ambition in Xu Zihuang's eyes.
Xu Zihuang's departure caused the deafening cheers inside Dragon City to falter for a moment. Shocked gasps and doubtful voices filled the air.
Even those who did not know Xu Zihuang's public identity subconsciously believed that Xu Zihuang was reinforcements from Shrek Academy. In their view, only the academy known as the number one academy on the continent could nurture such a heavenly genius.
And with the resolution of Dragon City's crisis, the news that the young genius from Shrek Academy had slain Zhongli Wu and the others also spread like wildfire.
However, before this news could spread further, Xu Zihuang had already located the regrouping and retreating Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion and Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Legion.
Previously, the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion and Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Legion had only been blasted away by Xu Zihuang's spiritual pressure and had not suffered any substantial injuries. At this moment, while these two great protector legions of the nation were rapidly retreating using flight soul tools, they had not forgotten to maintain the formation of their soul tool positions.
From this, one could see just how strong the overall quality of these two soul mentor legions was.
Flying at the very front were none other than the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion's legion commander Xu Tianyuan and the Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Legion's legion commander Liao Mengkai. Both were powerful nine-level soul mentors, though comparatively, Xu Tianyuan's overall strength was even greater.
Both men were wearing the Sun Moon Empire's most advanced humanoid soul tools. The humanoid soul tool covering Xu Tianyuan's entire body was deep purple all over, engraved with strange dragon patterns. A pair of thin, semi-transparent wings extended from his back, maintaining a stable flight state.
Liao Mengkai's humanoid soul tool looked somewhat simpler, entirely pitch-black. In addition to the wings on his back, he also carried two long blades, and his entire body emitted an extremely sharp aura.
Both Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai were still feeling lingering fear.
That person had suppressed their two great soul mentor legions with spiritual pressure alone and had casually slain Zhongli Wu and the others with a wave of his hand. Such terrifying combat strength was definitely not inferior to any Limit Douluo.
Liao Mengkai asked in a deep voice to Xu Tianyuan beside him, "Old Xu, how should we report to His Majesty next?"
"Just report truthfully," Xu Tianyuan snorted coldly with some resentment.
"Encountering an enemy of that level is no longer something you and I can contend with. I believe His Majesty will not say much either."
The Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion was rather special among the Five Great Protector Legions. It had always been loyal only to the imperial family, but that did not mean it would necessarily be loyal to the current emperor. Moreover, the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion had the confidence to back it up because they possessed the largest stockpile of nine-level fixed soul ammunition cannons.
Only successive legion commanders of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion knew that if the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion fought without regard for anything, even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Mentor Legion might not be their match.
After all, no matter how strong the Sun Moon Royal Soul Mentor Legion was, it could not withstand round after round of bombardment from nine-level fixed soul ammunition cannons.
Xu Tianyuan was the current wielder of power in the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion. He himself was a person with extremely strong ambitions for power. Although he would not carry all of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion's foundations with him, strategic weapons like the nine-level fixed soul ammunition cannons that could change the fate of the empire had always never left his side.
Hearing Xu Tianyuan say this, Liao Mengkai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With Xu Tianyuan taking the lead, His Majesty probably would not blame them too much. After all, Xu Tianyuan's identity and status were extraordinary, he was not only the current wielder of power in the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion, but he also held the title of imperial prince, possessing nearly pivotal status within the imperial clan.
At that moment, the two of them seemed to sense something and abruptly halted their figures.
"Everyone, stop!"
Xu Tianyuan even shouted with a grim expression.
"Ring-link formation, soul tool protective shield, prepare!"
Every member of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion and Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Legion had been selected through multiple layers of screening. Their extremely high combat quality allowed them to react instantly. Huge dark-gold and deep-purple light shields overlapped, protecting them inside.
Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai also operated their soul power as if facing a great enemy, staring fixedly at Xu Zihuang, who had stepped out from the void.
Xu Zihuang stood indifferently in the void, exuding the lofty, overlooking gaze of a superior.
A brilliant golden light flashed across his eyes. Terrifying spiritual pressure descended once more, brutally tearing apart the linked soul tool protective shield jointly released by the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion and Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Legion.
"Kneel!"
Xu Zihuang coldly shouted with an expressionless face.
Including Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai, every person in the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Legion and Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Legion had their bodies uncontrollably fall toward the ground below, their knees slamming onto the earth.
Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai's faces turned extremely gloomy. They tried desperately to resist, but discovered that they could not even circulate their soul power. That sense of powerlessness caused intense fear to begin sprouting in their hearts.
Xu Tianyuan had originally been confident that he could contend against a Limit Douluo-level powerhouse with his nine-level fixed soul ammunition cannons. But now it seemed that this was completely a joke. A true top-tier powerhouse would never give him the time or opportunity to fire a nine-level fixed soul ammunition cannon.
Just as they felt despair, they saw Xu Zihuang land on the ground and walk toward them step by step. In the palm of his left hand, deep-purple flames of light drifted. The oppressive aura seemed capable of destroying all life force.
"This aura… this is the Destruction attribute?!"
Upon seeing this scene, Xu Tianyuan's eyes suddenly widened.
"Who exactly are you?!"
"The only son of the Purple Radiance King, Xu Zihuang." Xu Zihuang's gaze was profound, and he spoke in a calm tone.
"Xu Tianran colluded with evil soul masters and usurped the throne through treachery. He is not qualified to sit in that position. I will give you a chance to abandon darkness and embrace the light. Submit, or die. The choice is yours."
Xu Zihuang's few shortarried an extremely strong impact. Everyone present fell into a dazed state, and the way they looked at Xu Zihuang changed.
The choice that would decide their fate rested in a single thought.
