Inside the Heaven Dou Empire's palace, as the Spirit Kite Douluo gave a command, countless shadows swiftly moved toward the palace. The Spirit Kite Douluo herself transformed into a massive flaming hawk with a wingspan of tens of meters. She immediately unleashed her eighth soul skill: Blood Boiling, scattering fiery red feathers everywhere, engulfing the entire palace in flames.
All members of the Spirit Hall surged forward in a frenzy, slaughtering everyone they encountered. Their primary goal was to eradicate every single member of the Heaven Dou imperial family.
With two Titled Douluo leading a group of Spirit Douluo and Spirit Saints, the Heaven Dou palace became a defenseless target.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect launched a fierce counterattack.
This time, however, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacked the advantage of preemptive preparation, as they had during the spirit-hunting operation. No matter how strong the spies were, it was impossible to anticipate the presence of Titled Douluo.
As time went on, the two sects found themselves in a dire situation. Countless ordinary disciples were slaughtered, and the sects were engulfed in a sea of fire.
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, by the time Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi realized the severity of the situation, a large number of disciples had already perished. Just as the two elders prepared to launch a desperate counterattack, their eyes widened in shock.
The Spirit Hall had clearly come well-prepared. Falling Devil Douluo and Fifteen TonDouluo charged forward with their Coiling Dragon Staffs, targeting Sword Douluo. Meanwhile, three other Titled Douluo roamed the battlefield, slaughtering at will. At the center of their assault was none other than the sect master, Ning Fengzhi.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had fewer than a thousand spirit masters in total. This time, the Spirit Empire dispatched five Titled Douluo, over thirty Spirit Douluo, and more than three hundred Spirit Saints. This overwhelming force left Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both stunned.
It should be noted that spirit masters are structured like a pyramid, with fewer and fewer high-level spirit masters at the top. While the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had close to a thousand spirit masters, it likely had fewer than fifty Spirit Saints or higher-level masters. The spirit master world at large followed a similar trend, with Spirit Saints or higher making up no more than five percent of the total spirit master population. This proportion was achievable only in major sects; smaller sects had even lower ratios of high-level spirit masters.
Under the combined assault of Falling Devil Douluo and Fifteen Ton Douluo, Sword Douluo, despite his formidable strength, found it extremely difficult to hold his ground against two opponents.
Furthermore, the Spirit Hall's strategy didn't aim for a swift victory; instead, they sought to suppress every member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo each faced two Titled Douluo in combat.
As for the auxiliary system disciples, despite being equipped with Zhuge Divine Crossbows and other hidden weapons, these tools were completely ineffective against Spirit Saints or higher-level masters.
Although the number of attackers was far smaller than during the spirit-hunting operation, their quality was much higher. During the previous operation, the Spirit Hall had mobilized over ten thousand spirit masters, most of whom were lower-level. Hidden weapons were highly effective against them.
This time, however, there were fewer than four hundred attackers, but all were high-level spirit masters. Moreover, they fought like berserkers, utilizing their Martial Soul Avatars and soul skills in devastating ways. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was plunged into a scene of carnage.
Facing enemies who were all at least Spirit Saints, it was impossible for Sword Douluo to deal widespread damage with a single soul skill. Meanwhile, Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling devil Douluo's coordinated assault placed enormous pressure on him.
Bone Douluo, protecting Ning Fengzhi, spoke grimly: "Fengzhi, this is nothing like the spirit-hunting operation. We've already sent out distress signals. I wonder when reinforcements from the Clear Sky Sect and the Heaven Dou royal family will arrive?"
Ning Fengzhi's expression was extremely grave: "Bone Uncle, their reinforcements are unlikely to come. The Spirit Empire is determined to destroy us, and they've sent only their top experts."
Before the two could deliberate further, distress signals from the Clear Sky Sect and the Heaven Dou royal family arrived. The allies they had hoped to rely on were now seeking aid from them.
Ning Fengzhi's face grew even more serious: "Bone Uncle, what's the situation with the Heaven Dou royal family and the Clear Sky Sect? Is there any information?"
Bone Douluo's rare somber tone deepened: "I'm not sure, but I sense two Titled Douluo's auras near the Heaven Dou palace. The Clear Sky Sect's situation seems even worse, with the presence of over ten Titled Douluo."
"How is that possible? How could the Spirit Hall mobilize so many Titled Douluo for an attack? Unless they've completely emptied their reserves," Ning Fengzhi muttered in shock.
He continued, his face filled with disbelief: "Given the circumstances, the Spirit Empire should hate the Clear Sky Sect more. Yet the Clear Sky Sect seems to be facing an even greater threat with over ten Titled Douluo. They're clearly determined to annihilate both our sects."
Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought. If he and Bone Douluo fled, Sword Douluo would have to face five Titled Douluo alone, including top experts like Falling Devil Douluo and Fifteen Ton Douluo.
Without Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to hold the enemy back, the sect's ordinary spirit masters would likely face total annihilation. Against Spirit Saints or higher-level masters, ordinary spirit masters couldn't even escape.
As Spirit Saints rampaged through the sect like wolves among sheep, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's spirit masters suffered heavy casualties within a short period.
"Bone Uncle, could we retreat toward the Clear Sky Sect? Combining our forces might give us a slim chance of resistance," Ning Fengzhi suggested.
Bone Douluo's expression grew darker: "It's unlikely. The Clear Sky Sect probably faces an even greater threat, with the possibility of unimaginable top-level masters."
Ning Fengzhi, now calm and composed, said, "Bone Uncle, organize a full retreat. Let's head toward the vicinity of Heaven Dou City. The imperial army stationed there offers a slight advantage in terms of numbers and safety."
Following Ning Fengzhi's command, everyone began preparing for a rapid retreat. However, Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluo vastly outmatched them in speed and strength, making escape nearly impossible. The ratio of attackers to defenders was roughly three to one, giving the Spirit Hall a significant advantage. Facing Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluo with only Spirit Grandmasters or Spirit Elders was akin to a death sentence.
Ghost Leopard Douluo led a large group of agility-type spirit masters to intercept fleeing disciples, sweeping through them like an autumn wind scattering leaves. Ordinary spirit masters fell in droves.
As the battle progressed, the Spirit Hall's encirclement tightened, causing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's casualties to mount. Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall suffered minimal losses, their damage rate nearly negligible.
If the encirclement closed entirely, no one would escape.
However, the Spirit Hall's smaller numbers also created some disadvantages, allowing a few survivors to slip through. At least it wouldn't be a complete annihilation like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had faced.
After about half an hour of desperate fighting, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect managed to create a small gap in the encirclement, allowing the remaining members to flee.
Yet this situation was grimly ironic. Those who could escape were often the higher-level spirit masters, while the lower-level ones had no chance of survival. Advanced spirit masters who fled were chased by even stronger enemies, leaving the lower-level disciples as defenseless as lambs to the slaughter.
During the spirit-hunting operation, Sword Douluo's desperate counterattack had resulted in over 80% casualties among the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's spirit masters. This time, the death toll among combatant spirit masters was even higher, devastating the sect's foundation.
Pursued by so many high-level spirit masters, the survivors continued to dwindle.
