Hearing this, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi were shaken. Even the original Lu Jingming said so—Sword Douluo likely couldn’t kill Black Lu Jingming.

Without killing the contamination point core, it was meaningless—negative energy would endlessly revive the black-armored soldiers to attack again.

Sword Douluo truly couldn’t kill Black Lu Jingming; the Black Abyss White Flower had cellular-level regeneration, plus Black Robin’s sixth skill could continually restore teammates’ soul power.

This contamination point’s endless negative energy constantly replenished Black Lu Jingming—Lu Jingming couldn’t imagine how to kill him.

Moreover, Black Castorice had a death immunity skill (with cooldown), enough to reverse the battle at a critical time.

Black Jinhsi’s third skill, “Time Reversal,” could turn back time—a form of resurrection.

Black March 7th’s sixth skill, “Eternal Winter Pact,” could resurrect a teammate dead less than ten minutes, at the cost of half her soul power.

But most troublesome to Lu Jingming was himself.

He had already given his second martial soul, White Flower, six soul rings—all 100,000-year rings from the World Tree Stigmata.

The second ring’s “Holy Remains Resonance” was especially unique—linking all teammates in a life network.

As long as one person in the network survived, the others could not die—unless someone could instantly kill everyone at once.

Sword Douluo clearly couldn’t do that; his only fate was being drained to death.

In this contamination point, everyone suffered ongoing negative energy and emotional erosion—no one could fight for long, not even Titled Douluo.

Abundance-type abilities were just that troublesome: no matter how strong the opponent, they couldn’t wipe out someone with such powers.

And in Douluo Continent, there was no way to seal recovery skills.

Some soul tools had similar effects, like the God-Sealing Platform, but in this era, such tools didn’t exist.

Thus, the current situation was nearly unsolvable.

Even if Lu Jingming brought his original team, fighting the blackened group head-on would become a long war of attrition, with the outcome depending on who lasted longer.

Plus, this contamination point’s negative energy was their home field.

In short, the planet’s will had created an enormous problem.

Unless Qian Daoliu arrived to erase this point, if more were copied, Heaven Dou City—closest to here—would be doomed.

But getting Qian Daoliu to act was unlikely unless Qian Renxue asked in person.

Moreover, only Lu Jingming knew how powerful the next copied people could be; others had no idea.

So, though they felt a crisis, it wasn’t yet urgent.

Even if they took it seriously, the Heaven Dou Empire would likely refuse to ask Spirit Hall for help.

Even if they did, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu might not act immediately.

By now, everyone had retreated from the Titled Douluo-level battlefield.

Huo Wu, Shui Bing’er, and other students had long since withdrawn, watching from afar and ready to flee.

After all, the battle was far beyond their level—even watching up close was dangerous.

Thus, all academy teachers protected their own students, ready to run if things went south.

The two Soul Douluo, Meng Shenji and Zhi Lin, boosted by the Seven Treasure Pagoda, were busy too.

Zhi Lin went to assist Dugu Bo, while Meng Shenji worked to rescue Bai Baoshan from being frozen.

After all, as Soul Douluo, they weren’t easy to kill—Bai Baoshan was frozen but not killed instantly by Black March 7th’s arrow.

Zhi Lin’s massive Sky Blue Vine martial soul became a vine dragon, joining Dugu Bo’s green scaled snake emperor in a brutal fight with Black Jinhsi’s time dragon.

As a Soul Sage with extreme light attributes and a 100,000-year ring, Black Jinhsi controlled time. Now, with her martial soul avatar and Black Robin’s buffs, her combat power rivaled Titled Douluo.

The battlefield was ablaze, dragons roaring, lasers flying—thousands of meters ruined, the land even more corrupted.

Bone Douluo’s bone dragon also struggled, attacked by the Silver Dragon and giant mecha.

If not for his defense and space powers, he’d be badly hurt.

Black Firefly’s attacks ignored his defense, restraining him, and Black Gu Yue’s space control limited his own space skills.

Still, relying on his deep soul power and the Pagoda’s boost, Bone Douluo could last, though looking battered.

Sword Douluo was also fighting all-out; his sword qi changed the valley itself.

Black Lu Jingming went all out, using his soul bone skill “Dominion” to create a black gravity orb, pinning Sword Douluo.

Then his “Heaven-Shaking Phenomena” skill shattered the void, pulling a meteorite to smash Sword Douluo.

At the critical moment, Sword Douluo unleashed his martial soul avatar—the Seven Kill Sword became a hundred-meter giant sword, blood-red sword qi rising.

With this, he broke free and clashed with the meteor head-on.

Boom!

The meteor shattered, raining fiery debris.

The aftermath threatened to kill many students, even though it was just residual power.

At this moment, Lu Jingming, holding a black spear with two purple, two black, two red rings, stabbed the spear into the ground, releasing a black barrier that shielded Xue Qinghe, Xue Ke, and Ning Fengzhi.

The flaming debris dissolved harmlessly upon touching the barrier.

“Thank you, Brother Lu!” Xue Qinghe, seeing Lu Jingming’s soul rings, looked satisfied and thanked him sincerely.

Right now, only Lu Jingming could ensure their safety.

“It’s nothing. But we need to prepare to retreat.”

Lu Jingming shook his head.

Unlike him, Black Lu Jingming would hide nothing, nor care about the Black Abyss White Flower’s deadly power.

He suspected Black Lu Jingming could also use self-fusion skills.

The power of the Thunder Stigmata and World Tree Stigmata would surely be revealed in battle.

With Black Robin’s buffs, how could Black Lu Jingming lose?

Though only temporarily boosted to Soul Sage, with his foundation, that was enough to challenge Titled Douluo. If he used all his cards, he could even fight Super Douluo, and his survivability was terrifying—even Limit Douluo might not kill him if he wanted to escape.

Of course, Black Lu Jingming would not run—so only Qian Daoliu might erase this contamination point.

“Sorry to trouble you, Brother Lu. My sister and I will rely on you for our safety,” Xue Qinghe said, looking at the battlefield.

Ning Fengzhi was fully focused on maintaining the Pagoda’s boost—if he failed, the situation would worsen instantly.

“Sun and Moon Shine, Golden Rotation!” At this moment, Shrek Academy’s Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong stood in a triangle, radiating strong soul power.

A moment later, golden light exploded, a dragon roared, and a golden holy dragon with flames and lightning appeared.

Facing it, Black Castorice stepped on air, swinging her scythe to tear space. A purple death dragon emerged, gathering death power.

The deathly breath became a dark purple cannon, roaring forth.

The golden dragon also breathed lightning-flame breath, the beams clashing and creating a huge energy storm.

“Not good, the teachers can’t hold on!” Tang San saw the golden breath failing before the death dragon’s.

If it hit, everyone would die.

“Martial soul Avatar!”

Zhao Wuji, sensing danger, transformed into the Giant Bear, leaping at Black Castorice.

But suddenly, icy cold filled the air—a crystalline ice mirror appeared near Zhao Wuji.

Black March 7th stepped out from the mirror, right behind Zhao Wuji.

Sensing danger, Zhao Wuji was terrified.

Black March 7th now wielded two ice swords, sword intent freezing everything.

Her swordsmanship, close to Jingliu, drew Sword Douluo’s attention.

Compared to Lu Jingming, March 7th’s sword intent, able to freeze all and cut stars, was even closer to Jingliu.

Her “Star-Cutting Universe—Great Glazed Sword” was learned from Jingliu, and though lazy in practice, with her talent she was now proficient.

The star-shattering sword intent, mixed with black-red destruction, bore down.

Though a copy, Black March 7th’s sword intent was more extreme and destructive.

The sword light split the air, clashing with the rules of the world, erupting in black-red lightning.

Zhao Wuji barely managed to guard his chest, turning to meet the fatal blow.

The Vigorous Vajra Bear was famed for defense, and Zhao Wuji was called the Immovable King.

But at the same level as Soul Sage, with this sword containing Jingliu’s essence, he couldn’t block it.

With a terrifying sound, Zhao Wuji was sent flying, blood spraying.

He flew straight toward Black Castorice.

Shlick!

The deathly purple scythe pierced his chest.

Zhao Wuji stared wide-eyed at the scythe, feeling his life and soul being devoured by death power.

“Teacher Zhao!” Tang San and the others screamed in grief.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the girls covered their mouths, weeping.

Roar!

Flender and the trio, fused as the golden dragon, were enraged by this.

Their anger boosted them, and the golden breath surged, barely holding back the death dragon’s breath.

Black Castorice, expressionless, flicked the scythe, and Zhao Wuji’s body fell.

As his martial soul avatar faded, he crashed to the ground.

“Teacher Zhao!” Dai Mubai and the others rushed but were met by Black March 7th’s merciless slash.

A black-red sword energy ripped the earth, slashing at Shrek’s group.

“Not good, Rongrong!” Ning Fengzhi cried out.

Sword Douluo, distracted, was struck by Black Lu Jingming’s lightning Stigmata, forming an electromagnetic acceleration field.

The black spear, accelerated, became a meteor and hit Sword Douluo.

The terrifying force, plus high-voltage lightning, far exceeded his expectations.

The railgun sent Sword Douluo flying for thousands of meters until he crashed into a mountain, causing a mushroom cloud.

“Go!” Seeing the carnage, everyone fled with their surviving students.

As the deadly sword energy neared Shrek, Tang San and others tried desperately to block it.

But all their skills—fire, vines, light—were shredded like paper.

Despair appeared on their faces.

At the last moment, Xiao Wu stepped in front of everyone.

Her fourth soul ring glowed, golden light enveloping her, and Invincible Golden Body activated.

Boom!

She blocked the sword energy with her glowing hands; black-red lightning exploded.

The Invincible Golden Body gave her three seconds of immunity, barely enough to block.

“No, Xiao Wu!” Tang San paled, shouting.

He knew Invincible Golden Body cost huge soul power, and as a Soul Ancestor, Xiao Wu couldn’t last three seconds against that sword energy.

Indeed, as she blocked, her soul power drained rapidly, the golden light dimming.

Within a second, it was about to shatter.

Xiao Wu’s face grew paler.

Soon, she’d be cleaved in two, and the others shredded.

At this critical moment, a dark-gold hammer smashed the black-red sword energy, saving Xiao Wu and Tang San’s group.

“That’s…? The Clear Sky Hammer—Father!” Tang San was overjoyed.

He already knew from Tai Tan that Tang Hao was his father, so recognized the hammer instantly.

“Xiao San, take your friends and run!”

A slovenly man with a beard, holding the giant black hammer, looked warily at Black March 7th and Black Castorice.

Though a level 95 peak Douluo with a 100,000-year ring, Tang Hao was badly wounded from his fight with Qian Xunji and years of drinking.

Right now, even Sword Douluo would be hard to beat—facing Black March 7th and Black Castorice, he dared not relax.

“Clear Sky Avatar!” Tang Hao instantly summoned his avatar.

A humanoid phantom wielded the massive hammer, spreading the Deathgod Domain, dark gold and blood red covering the sky.

The giant hammer fell, stirring a storm, the pressure making space tremble.
