Chapter 1710: Giant Spirit Shock

Nangong Yi faltered slightly upon seeing this.

They were all very familiar with everything in this plane, including the range and power of the defense turrets in the starting points. Thus, Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun had stayed just out of the defense turret's range this entire time, and in their eyes, they had struck at the perfect opportunity.

Furthermore, they had Mo Zihong to control and weaken their opponents, so no matter how they looked at it, this was going to be an easy victory for them.

However, the starlight that fell from the heavens completely changed everything. They didn't even know what had happened before their rhythm was completely thrown off by the starlight, and the one who suffered the most was Mo Zihong.

His melody had been forcibly cut off, and he almost suffered backlash as a result. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on him using an omnipotent remote control, and it was a terrible feeling.

Even though the melody was only cut off for a brief second, it was impossible to continue it where it had left off, so he would have to start again.

With Nangong Yi present to protect him, he had thought that he would be able to control their opponents without any inhibitions, but he didn't anticipate something like this would happen.

All four Battle Gods were quite perplexed by this turn of events. What kind of ability was that starlight? It didn't possess any offensive power, yet it was able to completely immobilize them.

After forcing back Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun, Yuanen Yehui didn't stop even for a moment as her aura and body both expanded drastically.

She unleashed her Diamond Titan and Devil Titan soul skills in unison, following which her first soul ring lit up as she unleashed her Titan Strength.

Yellow light surged over her body as she lashed out with her Divine Cloudvortex Fists, and right as she did this, three more beams of light descended from the heavens, targeting the same three Battle Gods.

On this occasion, all three targets were already prepared, and Mo Zihong released a soundwave to form a light barrier to oppose the starlight, while Long Tianwu unleashed an uneven sword projection with his Imperial Sword, and Su Mengjun slashed her Divine Sword upward, destroying the two oncoming beams of starlight.

None of them dared to allow themselves to be struck by the starlight again.

The most fearsome aspect of Xu Xiaoyan's control was that it was absolute. Upon being struck, one would be forcibly controlled no matter how exceptional their physical resistance was. In order to not be controlled, one would have to dispel the soul skill or evade it, but it was virtually impossible to evade due to the speed of light, which left only the former option.

However, it wasn't that easy to dispel the soul skills, either. Starlight had extremely strong penetrative properties, and at Xu Xiaoyan's current level of power, one would need to expend at least three times more soul power than she did in order to ward off a beam of starlight. Furthermore, she wasn't limited to sending down only three beams of starlight at a time!

A sharp tearing sound rang out as the vortex unleashed by Yuanen Yehui's fists was torn apart by the Imperial Sword, but in the next instant, an extremely powerful current exploded right in front of Long Tianwu.

The vortex had been somewhat predictable an instant ago, but now, it was completely chaotic and filled with explosive power. As soon as the vortex was torn apart, it was as if a devastating bomb had been detonated, and Long Tianwu was forced to unleash a series of sword projections to defend himself.

As for Su Mengjun, she was in no shape to assist him as countless more streaks of starlight had descended from above, focusing almost entirely on the four Battle Gods present.

The storm of starlight was far too dense, to the extent that even Nangong Yi was forced to step in, throwing one punch after another amid a string of dragon's roars.

Nangong Yi's martial soul was quite special in that it wasn't a true dragon. Instead, it was the Dragon Soul, which Tang Wulin had witnessed in the dragon's tomb in the past.

While awakening his martial soul, Nangong Yi received the acknowledgment of a dragon soul, thereby transforming it into his martial soul.

As such, his style of battle was very plain and simple, but all of his attacks were imbued with the aura of a dragon, and all nine of his soul skills contained dragon clan abilities, but he couldn't transform into a true dragon in his martial soul true body form; all he could do was summon the dragon soul over his own body.

This naturally deprived him of the powerful defensive prowess that dragons possessed, but on a spiritual level, it was more powerful than the average true dragon martial soul.

His fists were his best weapons, and each punch was imbued with the power of dragons.

Everytime a star flashed in the sky, another beam of starlight would descend toward the four Battle Gods.

Even Mo Zihong couldn't help but be stunned by Xu Xiaoyan's incredible control. Not only was her starlight very difficult to ward off, it was guaranteed to exert control if it were to strike its target!

Furthermore, Xu Xiaoyan's companion was a powerful assault system Soul Master, and even Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun were struggling against their combination.

None of them could've envisioned that there would be such a fearsome control system Soul Master among Shrek’s Seven Monsters, and she was turning this battle on its head. At the very least, it would be more complicated and take longer for them to attain victory in this battle.

Meanwhile, a string of rumbling booms were erupting incessantly in the distance, clearly a result of the clashes between Guan Yue and Tang Wulin.

Neither of them had appeared on this battlefield yet, but if one of them were to suddenly arrive, this battle would very likely take another turn. As such, they had to end this battle as soon as possible.

"Nangong!" Long Tianwu suddenly yelled.

All of the Battle Gods had built up a tacit understanding over many years, and Nangong Yi immediately knew what he had to do.

Generally speaking, the more powerful a control system Soul Master's control abilities, the weaker their defensive and offensive prowess would be.

Hence, the best way to end this battle quickly was to take down the control system Soul Master.

Right as he called out to Nangong Yi, Long Tianwu brandished his Imperial Sword, and a burst of enormous sword intent erupted forth as he unleashed his sixth soul skill, Almighty Ruler!

A projection of a crowned figure appeared behind Long Tianwu, releasing an extremely overbearing aura of superiority that threatened to crush heaven and earth. At the same time, the Imperial Sword swelled drastically in size, and a sword projection that was several dozens of meters in length descended from the heavens, slashing directly toward Yuanen Yehui.

Yuanen Yehui remained completely unfazed as her fifth soul ring lit up, and a layer of yellow light appeared over her entire body as she let loose a ferocious roar.

“Boom!”

Powerful shockwaves erupted out of her body, and even though her height was less than 10 meters, she had the sheer presence of a hundred-meter-tall giant. Even Nangong Yi was somewhat affected from afar, and Long Tianwu's Imperial Sword immediately became quite sluggish, as if his Almighty Ruler were facing a violent storm.

In the next instant, Yuanen Yehui used her Divine Cloudvortex Fists again to force back the Imperial Sword. 

The attack that had just been unleashed was her fifth soul skill, Giant Spirit Shock!

This was a soul skill that she very rarely used as it was too taxing, and only after she became a Titled Douluo was she able to use her soul skill without severely debilitating herself.
