Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

Something seems off.

Dai Yutian committed almost all of his troops, but he still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Looking around at his surroundings, and then at the Soul Saint beside him, he suddenly understood.

"Soul Master!"

"He is a Soul Master."

Although the central battlefield was locked in a stalemate, the Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters held the upper hand in the battles between the flanks. The Star Luo Empire's Soul Masters were outnumbered and also inferior in Soul Power level.

However, according to the information they obtained, among the Soul Masters dispatched by the Star Luo Empire, there were at least ten Soul Emperor-level Soul Masters, but only five were seen on the flanks.

Suddenly, a huge rock fell from the sky and smashed directly into the knights' formation, sending dozens of royal knights flying.

"Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The Royal Knights reacted immediately upon being attacked.

However, just as they formed their battle formation, a giant man-eating flower suddenly emerged from the ground and devoured dozens more soldiers.

Di Hong and the others were startled. No wonder they felt something was wrong; it turned out this was aimed at them.

Dai Yutian wanted to behead him directly.

Dozens of Soul Masters from the Star Luo Empire appeared, including the five Soul Emperors.

"defense!"

The general directed the knights to form a shield formation, attempting to defend against the attack of the dozens of Soul Masters.

Most of these Soul Masters have a Soul Power level of around level 30, and very few have a level of over level 40.

"Capture the Crown Prince of Tiandou!"

The leading Star Luo Soul Master pointed at Xue Ye on the high platform, then released his Martial Soul and charged forward. The other Soul Masters also activated their Martial Souls and released their Soul Skills to launch an attack. In just a short while, the Knights' formation was shattered.

The Royal Knights suffered countless casualties.

Seeing the fierce battle taking place behind the Heavenly Dou army from afar, Dai Yutian knew that his plan had succeeded.

The main battlefield was just a pretext; his real target was Xueye.

Defeating these hundreds of thousands of troops is far less effective than capturing a prince.

"Very good, the rear of Tian Dou is in chaos."

He leaped off the platform, and a soldier brought him a warhorse.

After mounting his horse, Dai Yutian pointed his sword forward and shouted, "Everyone, follow me straight to Xue Ye's location and capture Crown Prince Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Clan!"

After saying that, he spurred his horse and charged forward, and the remaining soldiers followed suit. Even the Soul Saint of the Star Luo Empire went up with him. With the Crown Prince personally leading the charge, the morale of the Star Luo Empire surged, and for a moment they even seemed to be able to suppress the Heaven Dou Empire.

Faced with the attack of dozens of Soul Masters, the Heaven Dou Royal Knights suffered repeated defeats. Although the Royal Knights' Soul Masters had stepped up, they were currently without any support-type Soul Masters, as all of their support-type Soul Masters had been sent to the battlefield.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Di Yang said, "Your Highness, you should retreat first."

Xueye shook his head: "We can't retreat. If I run away, the morale of the army will collapse."

In the current situation, both sides are fighting for their last breath. He absolutely cannot back down; if he runs away, this battle will surely be lost.

After hesitating for a moment, he sent out the Soul Saint beside him. This was the last force he could muster. If he were to send anyone else, he would have to send Di Hong as well.

Sending a thirteen-year-old to fight is simply outrageous.

With the addition of that Soul Saint, the situation improved a lot; after all, he was a Soul Saint of level 76.

That Soul Saint's Martial Soul was a Savage Bear, belonging to the Power-type Soul Master. After activating his Martial Soul True Form, he rampaged through the Star Luo Soul Masters, and Soul Masters with low Soul Power levels dared not approach him.

Fourth Soul Skill: Earth Shattering!

The Soul Saint roared, his purple soul rings glowing, and then he stomped his right foot on the ground.

In an instant, the ground shook violently, and sharp spikes rose up, piercing several Star Luo Great Soul Masters, killing them instantly.

Upon seeing this, the two Soul Emperors simultaneously unleashed their Soul Skills to attack him.

Just when Xueye thought the situation had stabilized, an arrow shot towards him.

When the arrow was less than half a meter away from him, it was suddenly engulfed in flames and burned to ashes.

Di Hong stood in front of Xue Ye, looking ahead.

"Dai Yutian has come in person."

Not far away, Dai Yutian led his soldiers towards them, and no soldiers stopped them along the way.

When they were less than fifty meters away from Xueye, Dai Yutian leaped into the air on his horse. A tiger's roar rang out, followed by a layer of white light on his body. Then, his muscles began to swell, and four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, lit up around him. He was a little younger than Xueye.

Dai Yutian is only in his early twenties.

After releasing his martial spirit, Dai Yutian appeared majestic and extraordinary, just like the king of the jungle.

Once he locked onto the snowy night on the high platform, he pounced on it like a tiger descending a mountain.

"First Soul Skill: Blazing Body Protection!"

Di Hong immediately unleashed his first soul skill, a fiery shield that enveloped him. Dai Yutian struck the shield with both palms, and was then blasted away by Di Hong's soul power.

Landing on the ground, Dai Yutian looked at his hands in disbelief. If he hadn't used his soul power to protect them, his hands would probably have been charred by now. Although they weren't charred, they were still burned. The moment he touched the flame shield, he could clearly feel the intense heat on the shield.

He glanced at the high platform with resentment, not expecting that Xue Ye would have a powerful protector by his side.

Di Hong stood in front of Xue Ye, his six soul rings (two yellow, one purple, and three black) swirling around him. In the past year, his soul power level had reached level sixty-six. Although it had only increased by three levels, it was enough for him now.

Besides, he didn't spend all his time cultivating this year.

"Soul Emperor, three ten-thousand-year soul rings!"

The Soul Emperor title wasn't enough to shock him, but three ten-thousand-year soul rings were a different story. Other Soul Emperors only had two ten-thousand-year soul rings, but he had three, with his fourth soul ring being ten-thousand-year rings.

Dai Yutian was very unwilling. He believed that as long as he captured Xue Ye, he would succeed, but then a Soul Emperor suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He was merely a Soul Master; he could never be a match for Di Hong.

Chapter 36 Battle against the Soul Saint of the Star Luo Empire

After defeating Dai Yutian, Di Hong did not make another move. Behind him was Xue Ye, and the opponent's Soul Saint had already arrived. That Soul Saint was at level 79, which was close to Soul Douluo.

It is even more powerful than the Soul Saint who protected Xueye.

The previously stabilized situation has now tilted in favor of the Star Luo Empire again.

"Brother, take His Highness the Crown Prince away."

Di Hong knew that this battle could not continue, and Xue Ye had to leave. If something happened to him, it would be a huge blow to the Tian Dou Empire.

"Fourth brother, be careful!"

After saying that, Di Yang pulled Xue Ye away from there and retreated towards the military camp.

"You go and kill him, I'll go catch Xueye!"

Dai Yutian was still unwilling to let Xue Ye escape, so he ordered his Soul Saints to kill Di Hong, while he continued to pursue Xue Ye.

Di Hong wanted to give chase, but was stopped by the Star Luo Soul Saint.

"Young man, your opponent is me."

As he spoke, he released his martial spirit, which was a fiery lion.

Seven spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.

Di Hong frowned slightly. This was the first time he had fought against a Soul Saint-level Soul Master, and the opponent's strength was already close to that of a Soul Douluo.

Even so, he couldn't back down.

"In that case, please enlighten me, senior."

After bowing slightly, Di Hong spread his wings and flew into the air.

The Soul Saint of Xingluo chuckled.

"They thought they would be safe once they were airborne."

"What a pity for such a genius like you. But to die at my hands, Zong Yan, is an honor for you."

After saying that, his fifth spirit ring lit up.

Fifth Soul Skill: Lion's Roar!

"Roar!"

With a roar, the rolling sound waves swept towards Di Hong in the air.

Di Hong immediately released his first soul skill to defend. Zong Yan seized the opportunity, bent his legs slightly, and suddenly leaped up in front of Di Hong. Then he gathered his soul power into his right fist and slammed it into the shield.

With a single strike, it shattered Di Hong's Fire Shield.

Upon seeing this, Di Hong quickly retreated to create distance.

The difference in soul power between the thirteen levels was simply too great; he absolutely could not confront them head-on, or he would be the one to suffer.

After Zong Yan landed, he immediately unleashed another burst of flames. This time, Di Hong did not dodge but took the flames head-on.
