The Sun-Moon Empire's Imperial Palace, this magnificent complex of buildings that symbolizes the empire's supreme power, is now being torn apart by an unexpected force.

This power did not come from a natural disaster, nor from an external army, but from a commando team composed of elite soul masters.

There are not many of them, but each of them possesses terrifying strength above that of a seven-ringed Soul Saint.

They were dressed in uniform black attire and had masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of eyes as sharp as hawks.

A quarter of an hour ago, the commando team sneaked into the palace quietly.

Under the cover of night, they moved between pavilions and towers like ghosts, avoiding the layers of guards.

They had only one goal, and that was the imperial study located deep in the imperial palace—the residence of Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire.

The battle began the moment they stepped into the palace.

Faced with the elite soul masters, soul instructors and guards in the palace, these commandos displayed amazing combat effectiveness.

They acted decisively and each move was deadly, and every attack took a life.

Although the guards in the palace fought desperately, they were like moths to a flame, unable to stop the invaders.

The blood dyed the floor of the magnificent palace red.

The screams echoed in the silent night sky.

These commandos were like sharp knives, tearing through the palace's defenses with unstoppable force.

They moved forward with firm and steady steps, without any hesitation or pause, and their target was directly the imperial study where Crown Prince Xu Tianran was.

At the front of the team, a tall young man was advancing at an astonishing speed.

The fluctuations of his soul power were strong and overbearing, like a ball of blazing flames.

Wherever he passed, the guards didn't even have time to react before they were blown away by the soul power shock waves he released, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

This young man is none other than Long Aotian, a leader among the younger generation of the Body Sect.

He possessed a powerful martial soul that could transform his skin into various forms, making him extremely powerful in both attack and defense. At this moment, he was releasing his full strength, dashing towards the imperial study like a black lightning.

Long Aotian took a sudden step forward, and the solid bluestone pavement shattered under his feet, making a teeth-grinding sound.

His arms were stretched out like an eagle spreading its wings, and his muscles were tense, as if containing explosive power.

He roared, and the sound echoed over the battlefield like thunder, making the windows of the surrounding buildings buzz.

His skin, at this moment, became his most powerful weapon, with a metallic luster.

This layer of luster was not evenly distributed, but flowed like water waves with his movements, sometimes presenting a cold and hard color like steel, and sometimes turning into an ancient texture like bronze.

He suddenly swung his fist, and there was an explosion in the air. A visible air wave spread out in all directions with his fist as the center.

Wherever the air wave passed, the soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire who had no time to dodge were thrown out involuntarily like fallen leaves caught in the wind, and fell heavily to the ground in the distance, wailing in pain.

Facing the oncoming soul-guided ray, he simply twisted his body sideways and dodged it easily.

The rays fell on the building behind him, exploding into dazzling balls of fire, but could not hurt him at all.

His body moved flexibly on the battlefield, like a nimble cheetah, moving freely among the enemy groups. Every time he attacked, there was a bloody storm, and the soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire who were touched by him all had their bones broken and muscles torn, and fell to the ground screaming.

Above his head, a bright moon emitted a soft silver glow. The moonlight seemed to have life, transforming into beams of light that accurately locked onto the soul guide cannons that were being charged.

Under the irradiation of the light beam, the energy circuit of the soul guide cannon quickly overloaded, emitting a shrill alarm, and then emitting puffs of black smoke, completely paralyzed.

"Help me to get into the air. Amplify!" A delicate voice sounded behind Long Aotian. The voice was crisp and pleasant, but it contained unquestionable majesty.

Hearing the sound, Long Aotian turned around abruptly, slightly bent his legs, and prepared for the impact. The next moment, a slender figure landed lightly on his shoulder.

The figure was wearing a light blue dress and her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, swaying gently with her movements.

On her delicate face, a pair of bright big eyes sparkled with wisdom. Her cherry lips parted slightly, her breath was as sweet as orchid, and she was commanding the amplifying soul master behind her.

Dozens of lights of different colors gathered from all directions, completely covering the figure.

These rays of light came from different amplifying soul masters, and each ray of light represented an amplifying effect, including strength, speed, defense, mental power... Various amplifications were superimposed together, causing the momentum of this figure to rise steadily, and soon reached a heart-pounding level.

The next moment, the figure rose into the air like lightning.

The pitch-black night was torn apart by silvery-white rays of light, like a sharp blade from the gods piercing the silence of the night. The light grew brighter and brighter, as if a new star was born in the night sky.

The bright moon before was now colored by the dazzling silver light, and turned into a huge silver moon, hanging high in the sky, emitting a cold and majestic light. It was bigger and brighter than any moon before, as if a star had really descended to the earth, covering the whole world with its brilliance.

The silver moonlight poured down like water, illuminating the earth with a silvery white, but also highlighting the deeper darkness around it.

Wherever the moonlight reached, the air twisted and shattered violently, making sharp and piercing explosions, as if space itself was overwhelmed by this powerful force.

Around this huge silver moon, a circle of absolute dark vacuum formed. No matter what substance could exist in it, even the light was swallowed up, forming a heart-pounding black halo.

The figure was bathed in silver moonlight, like a god descending to earth.

She slowly raised her hands and made a strange gesture in front of her chest. Her fingers were slender and long, but they contained a powerful force that made people's heart palpitate.

As she moved, the originally dim blood-red halo on her body, which was ranked last, suddenly lit up, emitting an eerie light, as if it was a blood-red flame from the depths of hell, burning fiercely behind her.

The blood-red light grew stronger and stronger, gradually coloring the surrounding silver moonlight, dyeing the originally cold silver moon with a layer of shocking blood. The silver moon turned into a blood moon, foreshadowing the coming bloody storm. A sickening sweet smell spread from the sky, as if the blood of countless creatures gathered together to form a sea of ​​blood that was about to swallow up the entire world.

The soldiers below, whether they were attacking or defending the city, were stunned by this sudden change. They stared blankly at the strange phenomenon in the sky, their eyes full of horror and fear.

The strong smell of blood made them feel nauseous, as if they had foreseen the tragic fate that was about to come to them.

Not only the ordinary soldiers, but also the battle-hardened generals and even the high-ranking soul masters were all shocked by this powerful force.

They stared at the figure in the sky intently, their hearts filled with doubt and uneasiness. They had never seen such a terrifying power, and they couldn't imagine where this power came from.

The dozens of amplifying lights, coming from different soul guides and different soul skills, now fell on the figure without reservation, providing her with a constant supply of power.

These lights are colorful and intertwined together to form a gorgeous beam of light, making the figure look even more majestic and sacred.

Among all these lights, the most eye-catching one is a pagoda floating in the air.

The pagoda has seven floors, and is crystal clear, emitting a soft white light.

At this moment, all five floors of the pagoda were lit up with dazzling light, and five brilliant colored lights gushed out from the tower, like five colorful dragons, circling around the figure, providing her with a powerful boost of strength.

These five dazzling colored lights are the greatest of all amplifications, representing the highest achievement of human soul guide technology.

Xu Tianran also saw this shocking blood moon. His deep eyes shrank slightly, and a barely perceptible solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He murmured to himself, "Eight rings, Soul Douluo?" There was a hint of disbelief and deep fear in his tone.

Orange, who was beside him, stood in front of him without hesitation when the blood moon appeared, and protected him firmly behind him.

Her expression was solemn, and her beautiful eyes were filled with vigilance and worry.

The powerful sense of oppression in the sky made her feel palpitations, as if it was going to tear her apart.

Although a round of golden soul guide shield had risen from the surroundings, protecting her and Xu Tianran firmly inside. The golden shield emitted a powerful energy fluctuation, which was the defensive power of the ninth-level soul guide, enough to withstand any attack.

But for some reason, Orange still didn't feel at ease. She always felt an inexplicable uneasiness, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Just at this moment, suddenly, a loud phoenix cry resounded through the sky, breaking the tranquility of the night sky and temporarily dispelling the fear and uneasiness in everyone's hearts.

A strong dark red light suddenly rose from another courtyard on the side of Xu Tianran's study, like a volcanic eruption, rushing straight into the sky with the power to destroy the world.

After this dark red light rose, it quickly took shape and turned into a pitch-black phoenix with dark red flames rising all over its body.

This phoenix was huge, with a wingspan of dozens of meters. Its body was covered with black scales, and each scale emitted a faint cold light. It seemed like a demon from the depths of hell, with a rage that could burn everything, and it rushed towards the figure in the air like lightning.

Blood Moon Eclipse!

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if the whole world was dyed blood red.

The bloody light, like a bolt of lightning falling from the sky, brought with it the momentum to destroy everything, instantly tearing apart the originally peaceful battlefield.

The sky, which was originally clear, was now dyed a strange red by the sudden blood light, as if it was a sign of the god's wrath.

Even the Titled Douluo who were watching the battle from afar couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if an invisible giant hand was tightly strangling their throats, making it impossible for them to breathe.

The blood light was moving so fast that it was almost impossible to capture it with the naked eye. Only a flash of bloody afterimage could be seen.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to have evaporated completely, leaving behind a vacuum zone. The originally calm air was now surging violently like boiling water.

The black phoenix that suddenly rose up was about to spread its wings and fly high, but was frightened by the sudden blood light.

She could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained in the blood, which was a terrifying force that was enough to completely destroy her.

The Black Phoenix did not dare to delay. She tried her best, flapped her wings suddenly, and her body rose dozens of meters in an instant like an arrow.

Fortunately, the blood light was not targeting her, but whizzed past her body, aiming directly at Orange who was trying her best to maintain the ninth-level soul guide shield.

The speed of the blood light was so fast that Orange had no time to react and could only watch the blood light coming towards him.

In the instant before the blood was about to hit Orange, the originally golden ninth-level soul guide shield was suddenly painted with a layer of strange blood red.

The blood spread rapidly like a living thing, and in the blink of an eye the entire shield was dyed blood red.

Orange, who was in the shield, saw a blood-red scene in front of his eyes, as if he was in a sea of ​​blood.

The energy and blood in her body began to churn violently as the blood light approached, as if it was about to burst out of her body.

Orange suppressed the surging blood and energy in his body and tried desperately to mobilize his soul power, trying to condense a layer of protective shield again to resist the horrifying blood light.

However, before she could condense the shield, an irresistible suction force came from behind her and pulled her over.

Juzi felt a flash before her eyes, and the next moment, she fell into a warm and strong embrace. Then, she saw that everything around her had changed, turning into a red-gold color.

The red-gold light was so dazzling and so warm, as if it could dispel all the darkness and coldness in the world.

"One hundred thousand years soul skill! Is this the power of a hundred thousand years soul skill?" Orange was shocked and his mind went blank.

Theoretically, a ninth-level soul guide shield can withstand the attacks of a Titled Douluo.

However, this theory does not seem to hold true in front of truly powerful soul masters.

The figure in the sky is clearly only at the eighth level of cultivation! (End of this chapter)
