Chapter 251: The Light of the Sun and Moon Battles the Martial God (Part II)
"Don't even think about it!"
Xuan Lao's expression was grave. With a long whistle, he soared into the sky, and intense yellow light bloomed from his body. A tyrannical aura erupted suddenly, and the heavy radiance propped up the sky above Mingdu.
Yellow and blood-red, they were distinct under the night sky!
However, do not forget, the one facing Xuan Lao right now is not the Body Sect Master Du Busi from back then! It is a youth from the Sun Moon Empire piloting a humanoid Soul Guidance Giant, whose strength is only that of a Six-Ring Soul Emperor. This means that in terms of raw power, they are more than one hundred and eight thousand times apart!
Facing such an unknown Soul Guidance Giant, Xuan Lao did not underestimate it. Wrapped in intense yellow light, a low roar spread through the air, and the hundreds of Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion members who had originally surrounded Xuan Lao were continuously forced back by the terrifying pressure.
This is the power of a Peak Douluo!
This is the combat strength of those standing at the very pinnacle of the pyramid in this world!
When the yellow light spread out at its most intense moment, a giant monster with the body of a sheep, eyes on its ribs, tiger teeth, and human claws, with ox horns on its head, appeared out of thin air. Its body length exceeded thirty meters; in terms of volume, it was even larger than that giant humanoid Soul Guidance device, though not as tall as the Soul Guidance Giant.
Martial Soul Avatar, it is actually a Martial Soul Avatar!
The last time Xuan Lao unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar was when facing the invading Body Sect. This time, in order to battle that unknown Soul Guidance Giant, Xuan Lao actually unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar!
In mid-air, a deafening boom exploded in the sky, and Xuan Lao's roar could be heard for a hundred miles around.
The massive figure of the Taotie Divine Ox charged forward ferociously, the yellow light behind it like a raging sea, continuously bombarding the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix.
The Soul Guidance Giant did not retreat in the slightest. A pair of blood-red wings, like the wings of the Grim Reaper, slowly unfolded. Four massive Soul Guidance transmission tubes were connected to the back of the Soul Guidance Giant; at this moment, the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix was already connected to the Soul Guidance Giant.
As the Soul Guidance Matrix operated, a massive amount of soul power was continuously transported to the Soul Guidance Giant. With the soul power accumulated, blue light emerged on its right fist, blue flames erupted from its back, and it chose to strike back ferociously!
Boom!
The two massive figures collided violently. At that moment, it was as if a Level Nine Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball had exploded within Mingdu. Terrifying pressure descended from the sky, and the area for hundreds of meters around had completely turned into ruins!
If Xuan Lao had not taken the initiative to pull the battlefield away, Huo Yu Hao and the others would have long since been shaken to death by the terrifying shockwaves.
The massive mecha giant was forced back by Xuan Lao, and Luo Yu, who was controlling the mecha, also spat out a large mouthful of blood!
Xuan Lao's Martial Soul Avatar also shook slightly. Although he did not suffer any injuries, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Is this the trump card of the Sun Moon Empire?
A Soul Emperor can pilot this kind of Soul Guidance Giant and block a ferocious strike from a Peak Douluo!
Is this the power of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Technology? It turns out it has truly reached a terrifying level that threatens a Peak Douluo.
Xuan Lao's eyes were filled with shock, and even Jing Hongchen's eyes were filled with shock.
At this moment, Luo Yu, still piloting the mecha, felt as if he had been struck by a battering ram. The terrifying recoil made him feel suffocated. A full ten seconds passed, and he still felt intense pain in his body.
A Peak Douluo is too strong. Even though Number Two had blocked almost all the attacks for him, that bit of recoil was still unavoidable. Even though he used the Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix to push the output of the Soul Guidance Protective Barrier to the maximum, he still barely managed to hold on.
After blocking one of Xuan Lao's attacks, Luo Yu did not hesitate. Three Soul Guidance transmission tubes reconnected to the materialized Soul Guidance Matrix, and a massive cannon barrel slowly extended from its chest.
Black light slowly condensed on that cannon barrel. The pitch-black energy continuously twisted and reorganized, finally forming an irregular sphere. That sphere grew larger and larger as the black light condensed.
Xuan Lao's massive body once again ran through the void with large strides, meeting the Soul Guidance Giant head-on without any retreat.
Countless light clusters condensed behind Xuan Lao like a whirlpool. At that moment, whether it was Huo Yu Hao and the others or Jing Hongchen, they all felt a terrifying heavenly might capable of truly tearing the world apart!
That was no longer a level that pure power could reach; that was power surpassing humanity, power that had begun to touch the limits of this world!
The black light sphere, over twenty meters in diameter, collided with the countless yellow whirlpools beside Xuan Lao. In a brief instant, spatial rifts cracked open where they touched, and a large number of spatial rifts continuously spread to the surroundings.
"Boom—"
The earth groaned, terrifying shockwaves roared, and the ground for tens of miles around trembled.
The violent explosion sent the Soul Guidance Giant flying backward. A yellow figure grabbed everyone from Shrek in the midst of that terrifying explosion and disappeared from the center of the blast. After flickering a few times, he brought everyone away from the range of the explosion.
At the same time, to prevent the explosion from spreading, the Soul Guidance Giant immediately spread its wings, and a golden film of light unfolded, slowly wrapping around the black-and-yellow light sphere at the center of the explosion. The violent explosion was continuously compressed.
But Luo Yu knew that doing this could only delay the arrival of the explosion.
He once again mobilized the soul power of the Soul Guidance Matrix, calling forth all of Number Two's attack methods.
Standing beneath the core of the explosion, he controlled the light film to delay the explosion while concentrating all his attacks on the light sphere.
Boom!
A massive amount of Soul Guidance Rays bombarded the light sphere, and that golden light sphere, dozens of meters in diameter, was sent into the sky!
That night, a beam of light illuminated the entire Mingdu.
It lit up Mingdu in the middle of the night as if it were broad daylight!
In the history of the Douluo Continent, on this day, the Sun and Moon bloomed with light, and the heavens and earth lost their color!
The Three Great Empires suffered a crushing defeat, and the Sun Moon Empire, led by Luo Yu, seized victory.
At this moment, the youth piloting Number Two was hailed as the "Light of the Sun and Moon"!
Later, his Soul Guidance Mecha was also crowned with the name of the Sun and Moon, and the two characters for "Sun Moon" were all because of this time he shone over Mingdu.
Regarding all of this, Jing Hongchen was also greatly shocked, as were the members of the Holy Spirit Cult observing from the shadows. At this time, they all had expressions of unstoppable shock. Being able to pilot the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance crystallization and force back the Pavilion Master of Shrek's Sea God Pavilion, they had no idea how to describe that youth.
And the powerhouses from the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Soul Empire, and the Body Sect led by Du Busi who had retreated from Mingdu, looking at the light blooming above Mingdu, were all too shocked to speak.
Being able to exchange blows with Xuan Lao and create such a commotion, besides the Holy Spirit Cult, who else could there be in the Sun Moon Empire?
They had no idea at all, and besides Xuan Lao, no one else knew what had happened.
"Could it be that the Sun Moon Empire itself has a Peak Douluo?" Du Busi stared blankly at the light sphere illuminating Mingdu, feeling that light which was like broad daylight. He could feel a power extremely similar to that of a Peak Douluo. For a moment, his dark green eyes were filled with fear and despair!
It was not just the Body Sect; even the powerhouses of the Heaven Soul Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Dou Ling Empire were the same.
Tonight's battle, they had failed completely...
That youth who ruled over the Sun Moon Empire would eventually become the greatest disaster and opponent for the Three Great Empires decades later!
Scheming against the Three Great Empires, capturing all the elites of the Three Great Empires, and using individual strength to force the Title Douluo of the Three Great Empires to retreat from Mingdu.
Tonight, all their powerhouses had become stepping stones for that youth.
…………
"Cough, cough..." Xuan Lao coughed a few times and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what that thing is?"
"Xuan Lao, are you injured?" Zhang Lexuan asked with some nervousness.
Xuan Lao waved his hand and said, "I was injured when I fought the Dark Holy Dragon earlier; it's nothing. But, does anyone know what that massive humanoid Soul Guidance device is?"
Everyone was silent; not a single person could answer Xuan Lao's question.
"That is the crystallization of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance technology over thousands of years. When the Number One Experimental Subject of Mingde Hall was stolen, I saw it once during the chaos. Number One is very similar to this Soul Guidance Giant," Su Yu said, smoothing his messy clothes and supporting Wang Dong'er.
Xuan Lao's face was bitter as he said, "After this battle, no one in the Three Great Empires will be able to suppress the development of the Sun Moon Empire anymore. We have all failed, failed indeed..."
"Xuan Lao, we must go. If we don't leave now, we won't have another chance. The surrounding Sun Moon Empire army is already about to find this place."
Looking at Xuan Lao's bitter expression, Su Yu knew that his clone had already completely drawn the fire for him. Now, everyone knew that the Sun Moon Empire had produced a legendary figure with peerless wisdom, capable of controlling a Soul Guidance Giant and surviving two strikes from a Peak Douluo!
The reason Su Yu had not made a move all this time was because what he had to do next was more important than what Luo Yu had to do. He did not want to be the center of attention and thus be constrained everywhere, targeted by others.
But it was different with Luo Yu. When everyone's eyes were on Luo Yu, Su Yu could let go and do his own things.
After this battle, Luo Yu had successfully infiltrated the interior of the Sun Moon Empire. As long as Xu Tianran ascended the throne, many things in the future Sun Moon Empire could be firmly controlled in Luo Yu's hands!
The success of the Number Two experiment would bring an unstoppable momentum to Luo Yu's promotion. No one would be stupid enough to offend the confidant of Xu Tianran, the disciple of Hall Master Jing Hongchen, and the personal disciple of the Silver Moon Douluo!
The Light of the Sun and Moon of the Sun Moon Empire had already begun to radiate its own brilliance, so what about the brilliance of the Three Great Empires? What about the brilliance of the Wanjing Sect?
Of course, these things are not to be mentioned for now...
Under Su Yu's suggestion, the group avoided West Mountain and broke through from the north. Although they encountered several Sun Moon Empire armies along the way, the numbers were not large, and with Xuan Lao's strength, they could easily force their way through.
When they returned to Shrek City, those Title Douluo who had participated in this operation were all waiting for their return in front of the gate of Shrek Academy.
Before coming to participate in the competition, except for Su Yu, who could have imagined that the Sun Moon Empire would act so flawlessly? They had thought the Three Great Empires would unite to kill the elite of the Sun Moon Empire, destroy the arrangements in Mingdu, and delay the arrival of the war, thereby buying time for the Three Great Empires.
But who knew that, apart from the people from Shrek and the Tang Sect, and a small portion of people who had not left a backup plan and simply chose to break through to the north and escaped, everyone else from the Three Great Empires had fallen into Mingdu.
This time, the Three Great Empires had lost all their elites!
They had not expected that their plan would be completely seen through. The backup plans they left for escape became their death warrants, causing them to walk straight into the encirclement of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Legion.
This raid could be said to have completely disrupted the arrangements of the Three Great Empires. To say nothing else, just wiping out the elites of the Three Great Empires in one fell swoop was enough to make the Three Great Empires wary. At this time, let alone starting a war with the Three Great Empires, just detaining these people was enough to give the Three Great Empires a headache.
They had originally hoped that they could make another move to rescue the participating personnel, but after Luo Yu appeared, they no longer held any hope.
The Three Great Empires had no room for maneuver...
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." Yan Shaozhe seemed to have aged more than ten years; he no longer had his former high spirits.
"Reporting to the Dean, the Shrek Battle Team has returned in full!" Wang Qiu Er looked at Yan Shaozhe and replied.
"Tang Sect Battle Team, returned in full." Supported by Tang Ya, Bei Bei said with difficulty.
Everyone's eyes gathered on Su Yu; they were all hoping for Su Yu to say something.
"Su Yu of the Shrek Inner Court, has completed the graduation assessment, and has brought all students back. Requesting permission to graduate!"
Su Yu knew that his studies at Shrek were over.
Xian Lin'er wiped the tears from her eyes and said with difficulty, "I grant it..."
"Congratulations, Su Yu, you have graduated..." Xuan Lao sighed, his eyes filled with an indescribable complexity.
How he wished that the Su Yu of the Three Great Empires could also be like he was back then, standing out at the most critical moment and turning the tide like he did five years ago.
Like the Sea God Fate Festival of that year, showing absolute power that shocked the world...
But all of this was just their wishful thinking. The young man in their eyes who had repeatedly created miracles for them would eventually graduate honorably from Shrek.
His file would be sealed and locked away in the top secrets of the Sea God Pavilion. Such a legendary student, given time, might not be much worse than that one from the Sun Moon Empire.
"Will you... come back?" Wang Qiu Er looked at Su Yu and asked hesitantly.
"I will." Su Yu took the graduation certificate, gripped Wang Dong'er's palm tightly, and looked at Wang Dong'er with a faint smile.
Because Dong'er was still at Shrek...
