To make Xu Zihuang, Du Busi, and the others pay a heavy price, Zhong Liwu went all in and detonated both the Bone Dragon King's main body and its beast soul at the same time. Although everything he did turned out to be futile due to Xu Zihuang's Golden-Eyed Martial Soul's true body innate ability, the terrifying might produced by the Bone Dragon King's self-explosion was truly heaven-destroying and earth-annihilating in scale.
Its power was even stronger than a ninth-level stationary soul cannon. The frenzied wind-attribute energy and fire-attribute energy raged wildly across an area of nearly a hundred li, turning this place into an absolute life-forbidden zone.
Even from Dragon City, hundreds of kilometers away, one could clearly see the constantly expanding cyan-red light sphere on the distant horizon. Inside the light sphere, the cyan and red colors fused together, gradually transforming into a strange deep blue.
The earth shook violently, and the distant sky was dyed the same deep blue, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The soul masters and soldiers standing atop Dragon City's southern gate once again looked toward the south in astonishment. In such a short time, this was already the second anomaly to appear in the south.
The Sun Moon Empire's military camp was also closely monitoring the situation in the south.
Ju Zi had already come out of her command tent, with the Fire Phoenix Douluo Feng Luan and several other soul engineer legion commanders clustered around her.
As high-ranking figures in the army, they naturally knew about Zhongli Wu leading the Holy Spirit Cult powerhouses to ambush the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire's reinforcements. They had also deployed high-altitude reconnaissance soul tools in advance to monitor the situation there, but when that earlier incandescent white light sphere erupted, all the high-altitude reconnaissance soul tools lost contact with them.
The interval between the two events was less than a quarter of an hour. They didn't have time to send anyone to investigate.
Dressed in red soft armor, Ju Zi raised her head and stared into the distance, her brows tightly furrowed. She could be certain that neither the earlier incandescent white light sphere nor the current deep blue light sphere was caused by the explosion of a ninth-level stationary soul cannon.
Every single ninth-level stationary soul cannon of the Sun Moon Empire was an absolute secret and could never be easily leaked. Moreover, judging from their attributes, they did not match any ninth-level stationary soul cannons ever produced by the Sun Moon Empire.
As for the Heavenly Soul Empire, they should not possess the capability to produce ninth-level stationary soul cannons either. If they did, they would surely have used them in the earlier stages of the war.
From this perspective, it was most likely the result of a battle between top-tier soul master powerhouses.
"Transmit my order: the entire army is to retreat!" Ju Zi acted decisively and swiftly issued the command. This was not only her judgment based on the current situation, but more so stemmed from a certain special intuition.
The Fire Phoenix Douluo, who had a close relationship with Ju Zi, nodded calmly. As for the other soul engineer legion commanders, after a brief hesitation, they also chose to trust Ju Zi's judgment.
"Yes, Marshal!"
After all, along this journey, they had personally witnessed this Empress's commanding abilities multiple times. The Sun Moon Empire's ability to occupy nearly one-third of the Heavenly Soul Empire's territory in less than a month was undoubtedly due to the overwhelming advantage in soul guidance technology between the two sides, but it was equally inseparable from Ju Zi's command and coordination.
The several soul engineer legions stationed by the Sun Moon Empire outside Dragon City began an orderly retreat. With the assistance of various soul tools, their mobility was extremely high, and they quickly withdrew from the area around Dragon City.
Although the forces inside Dragon City also noticed the abnormal behavior of the Sun Moon Empire's army, out of caution, the Dragon City Lord did not order the troops to pursue.
In the current situation, the Heavenly Soul Empire was clearly at a disadvantage. He sought no merit but only to avoid mistakes.
At the same time, the figures of Xu Zihuang and the others appeared in the void, turning back to look in the direction behind them.
The mountain range in the area where they had just fought had been completely leveled. The clouds in the sky had been driven away by the terrifying energy impact, leaving only rolling smoke and dust lingering there without dispersing.
Recalling Zhongli Wu's earlier furious and exasperated appearance, Du Busi felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, grinning wickedly with excitement all over his face.
"Hahahahahahaha! That old bastard Zhongli Wu's face must be green with rage by now."
The others from the Body Sect also wore smiles on their faces. In this battle, the Holy Spirit Cult had directly lost five Titled Douluo, and both the leader and deputy leader, Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling, had suffered severe injuries. Not only had they avenged their past humiliation in this battle, but the pressure the Heavenly Soul Empire would face in the future would also be greatly reduced.
After the excitement passed, Du Busi and the others' gazes unconsciously converged on Xu Zihuang.
Having personally experienced the mysteries of the Golden-Eyed Martial Soul's true body, they more deeply realized just how abnormal Xu Zihuang's Golden-Eyed Martial Soul was. Body martial souls had always been regarded by them as divine blessings, yet in the tens of thousands of years of Body Sect inheritance, no body martial soul had ever been more qualified to be called a divine blessing than Xu Zihuang's Golden-Eyed Martial Soul.
"Your martial soul indeed innately possesses spatial and temporal attributes," Du Busi said meaningfully.
Back when he assassinated Xu Tianran in the Sun Moon Empire's palace, he had already seen Yu Tianhuang use the ability to freeze time.
As if recalling something, Du Busi suddenly widened his eyes, looking incredulous.
"You had already foreseen in advance that Zhongli Wu would self-destruct his natal beast spirit?!"
Facing everyone's doubtful and astonished gazes, Xu Zihuang calmly nodded.
"Another innate ability of my Golden-Eyed Martial Soul allows me to foresee future events in advance."
Du Busi's gaze instantly sharpened, and behind him, the Golden Body Douluo, Silver Bone Douluo, and the others exchanged looks, their hearts surging with shock.
Foreseeing the future, this kind of ability completely surpassed their understanding. It was practically a power only the gods could control.
Not only that, but the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that Yu Tianhuang had released earlier, as well as the vines belonging to the Thunder Prison Vine, had also left them deeply shocked.
Xu Zihuang's expression remained unchanged as he continued speaking to Du Busi:
"Using the Void Eye's ability, I probed the area. The several soul engineer legions stationed by the Sun Moon Empire outside Dragon City have all retreated. With the Holy Spirit Cult suffering heavy losses as well, the Sun Moon Empire should not take any further action in the short term."
As he spoke, he took out the strange, velvet sky-piercing chrysanthemum stored in a jade box from his starlight sapphire storage ring.
"Senior Du, this is an immortal-grade herb I obtained from a certain treasure land. It should be of some help to you."
After handing the strange, sky-piercing chrysanthemum to Du Busi, Xu Zihuang once again nodded respectfully to Du Busi and the others.
"I will proceed alone from here. Farewell, seniors."
With those words, Xu Zihuang flew toward the direction of Heaven Dou City, a trace of helplessness in his eyes. The reason he was in such a hurry to leave was that he had sensed Wang Qiu'er's arrival.
"This is…"
Meanwhile, Du Busi subconsciously gripped the jade box tightly, his gaze falling upon it.
