As soon as the five Limit Douluos emerged, the morale of the Spirit Pagoda camp was noticeably elevated, and many more powerful beings quickly emerged from the Spirit Pagoda, including Silver Dragon Douluo Gu Yuena and Qiangu Zhangting.
The Shrek Academy and Tang Sect camp remained on the ground, while the Spirit Pagoda camp was hovering in mid-air, and their auras were clashing, creating a spectacular light show.
The air was already beginning to warp, giving the entire area an ethereal look. All types of images were being conjured up and rapidly shifting through mental manifestation, presenting a doomsday-like scene, and only now did the major general commanding the two mecha corps realize just how naive he had been to try and stop Tang Wulin's group.
This was a clash between over 10 Limit Douluos! Just as Tang Wulin had said, even the entire federal military wouldn't be able to stop them, let alone two mecha corps.
"Retreat! Retreat into the distance as soon as possible so we don't get caught up in the battle!" he immediately commanded.
Who knew just how fearsome a clash between so many almighty beings would be?
As the saying went, curiosity killed the cat; all he wanted to do was get as far away as possible, to the extent that he wasn't even interested in watching this clash anymore.
Tang Wulin raised his head and settled his gaze upon Qiangu Dieting. As expected, a quasigod was truly formidable. As Tang Wulin sensed the almighty aura being released by Qiangu Dieting, he couldn't help but think of the three opponents his father had faced.
Qiangu Dieting's aura was already somewhat reminiscent of that of the staff-wielding figure among those three formidable gods, but unfortunately for him, he was still far away from reaching that level.
Perhaps his aura could affect others, but it was completely ineffective against Tang Wulin.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face as the air rippled around him, and he suddenly rubbed his hands together, upon which the Divine Atlas Spear appeared in his grasp.
He raised the spear high above his head, and asked, "Qiangu Dieting, Qiangu Dongfeng, do you two still recognize this Divine Atlas Spear?"
Both Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng's expressions changed slightly at the sight of the silver spear. How could they possibly forget this spear and its wielder?
Tang Wulin continued, "The Atlas Douluo perished as a result of your cowardly plot, along with many of our Shrek Academy's teachers, countless disciples of the Tang Sect, and millions of Shrek City residents. Have you ever felt guilt or remorse over what you've done? You colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult to plot against our Shrek City, and now, it's time for you to pay the price. Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect never target innocent individuals; we're only here for the Qiangu Family. However, if anyone dares to stand against us, then you'll be viewed as a sworn enemy!"
Tang Wulin's eyes were glowing with a cold light as he spoke.
Qiangu Dongfeng replied, "What evidence do you have aside from empty words? Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect are just using this as an excuse to take over the continent, just as the Soul Hall had attempted in ancient times. Today, you're targeting our Spirit Pagoda; tomorrow, you could direct your spear toward the entire federation! The Spirit Pagoda has served the Soul Master world diligently for thousands of years; there's no way we're going to allow your devious plot to succeed even if we have to die to stop you!"
Tang Wulin chuckled coldly, "I see. I hope that the staff you're holding is as potent as that big mouth of yours! Do you dare to face me in a one-on-one battle?"
The atmosphere became even tenser in the wake of Tang Wulin's challenge.
Qiangu Dieting was the most powerful being in the Spirit Pagoda camp, but he was no longer the chairman. As the current Spirit Pagoda chairman, Qiangu Dongfeng was still the organization's leading representative.
In contrast, Tang Wulin represented Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect; no one could've imagined that Tang Wulin would propose a match between leaders from the get-go.
Of course, there was no way that Qiangu Dongfeng could cower from such a challenge. Besides, he had been a Limit Douluo for many years, so there was no way he was going to fear Tang Wulin.
"I'll gladly accept your challenge, but I hope you won't run away mid-battle! This will be a fight to the death!" Qiangu Dongfeng roared as he strode forward with his Coiling Dragon Staff.
Tang Wulin also rose up into the air, stowing away the Divine Atlas Spear in exchange for the Golden Dragon Spear as his eyes glowed with a piercing light. During his ascent, a thunderous dragon's roar rang out, and he activated his Golden Dragon Body, upon which a layer of scales appeared all over his entire body.
At the same time, he released his dragon's repulse in the form of a burst of golden light.
Meanwhile, Qiangu Dongfeng's aura swelled drastically as nine soul rings, six black and three red, rose up from beneath his feet.
Having already been a demigod for so many years, he was a truly seasoned Limit Douluo, and his powers weren't far off even compared to Qiangu Dieting's.
He was the one who had led the Spirit Pagoda into this era of unprecedented prosperity. The two combatants faced one another in mid-air, and their auras were already clashing violently.
Powerful energy fluctuations surged through the air, sweeping away large swaths of clouds. Both of their auras were elevating at an astonishing rate, and all of the other Soul Masters from both camps slowly retreated away.
This was going to be a battle between their leaders, and no one else could get involved as this was a symbolic clash between the superpower organizations.
Tang Wulin's eyes were filled with a determined light, but even now, he still couldn't help but take a glance at her out of the corners of his eyes.
It had been a very long time since he had last seen her, and he missed her dearly.
However, at this moment, she was currently in the opposing camp, and standing beside her was that abhorrent Qiangu Zhangting.
A spasm of pain speared into Tang Wulin's heart, further fueling his battle intent, and his Golden Dragon Spear began to glow on its own.
He threw his head back and let loose a long roar, upon which a giant golden dragon projection instantly appeared behind him.
The Golden Dragon King projection was several hundred meters in length, and every single scale on its body was clearly visible. Its bright red eyes were filled with violent wrath, and as it spread its wings, the entire sky was concealed behind it.
A man standing in an obscure corner of the Spirit Pagoda group raised his eyebrows slightly upon seeing this, and he murmured to himself, "He's already awakened the Golden Dragon King to this extent? The Golden Dragon King has inherited all of the Dragon God's negative emotions; if he continues to awaken the Golden Dragon King, he'll go insane eventually. When that happens, even my Lord may not be able to stop him."
A hint of concern appeared in his eyes as he cast his gaze toward Gu Yuena, and he couldn't understand what she was plotting.
She should've devoured the Golden Dragon King long ago to become the Dragon God again! Only when the Dragon God was predominantly governed by the will of the Silver Dragon King was it complete and in its most powerful form. That was the wise yet calm, powerful yet measured Dragon God that was required to lead them to greater heights.
However, Gu Yuena still hadn't made her move. Perhaps a good opportunity would be presented on this day.
With that in mind, the man's eyes narrowed slightly as his hands balled up into tight fists.
Tang Wulin's aura continued to elevate, and he instantly entered the realm of spear essence.
All of a sudden, he sprang into action.
