**Chapter 31: The Heaven Dou Soul Master Legion? Magical Skills Unleashed, Everyone Dies!**

"One minute?"

Su Su's pupils contracted sharply.

Wasn't that too fast? What was he thinking? Her gaze on Chen Changfeng changed in an instant from shock to surprise, and ultimately to disbelief.

'One minute?' What could he possibly accomplish in one minute? Did he even realize how many soul masters were protecting the Tiandou mission this time? Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't dare to make such a bold claim.

It took time to charge powerful soul skills, even if they were aiming to kill rather than just subdue.

Sure, a Titled Douluo might be able to wreak havoc on an entire soul master army in a minute, but this wasn't about mass slaughter it was an interception.

The mission, given by Her Majesty, Pope Bibi Dong, was to intercept key figures.

At this moment, a few of Su Su's close subordinates approached, clearly worried about this newcomer, Chen Changfeng.

"Palace Master, who is this?" one of them asked hesitantly.

"No need to worry," Su Su quickly explained.

"This is a distinguished guest sent by the main palace to assist in this operation."

Hearing this, the subordinates relaxed and began to regard Chen Changfeng with awe and respect.

Anyone from the main hall in Wuhun City had to be extraordinarily talented.

It was the sacred place that many soul masters from branch halls dreamt of entering.

Chen Changfeng's purple outfit stood out on the mountaintop, making him an easy target.

One of the subordinates pulled out a set of standard dark clothing from their soul guide and handed it to him.

Chen Changfeng accepted without hesitation.

He didn't want too many people recognizing him.

After briefly surveying the situation, everyone resumed waiting quietly for their prey to appear.

After nearly an hour, the faint sounds of hooves and armor clinking echoed in the distance. Soon, a group of about a hundred Tiandou Empire Royal Guards appeared, their tall horses and shining silver armor exuding majesty.

Leading the way were two hundred knights, with three luxurious carriages sandwiched between them, followed by three hundred more knights bringing up the rear.

At first glance, Chen Changfeng's heart turned cold.

These weren't mere soldiers; they were soul masters disguised as knights, part of the Tiandou Empire's elite soul master legion.

The realization made the air around him chill, though he seemed oblivious.

Su Su and the others tightened their cloaks. Why had the temperature suddenly dropped?

The Tiandou Empire embodied the concept of aristocracy. Everything revolved around status and privilege.

Even if you were incompetent, being born into nobility gave you access to places like the Tiandou Royal Academy.

The empire operated as an aristocracy, with powerful sects existing independently and smaller forces banding together for protection.

It was hard for the common folk to rise above their station, unless they became soul masters or found favor with the Spirit Hall.

In contrast, the Spirit Hall had no place for the nobility.

It was a meritocratic organization where even commoners could rise through the ranks, an institution that disrupted the Tiandou Empire's rigid class structure.

Its ranks, even up to the Titled Douluo, were filled with individuals from humble origins, and its golden generation had no ties to noble families.

This egalitarianism was why, when the Spirit Empire eventually rose, it garnered widespread support.

There were countless people like Chen Changfeng treated as nothing more than tools by the elite.

The world was broken, and in his eyes, it needed destruction and rebirth.

His thoughts were dark and decisive, his soul attuned to the power of destruction.

"Sir, Palace Master, should we act?" one of Su Su's confidants whispered.

"Not yet," Su Su replied, trying to keep her voice steady. "Wait until they're deeper in."

They watched as the Tiandou Royal Legion moved further into the mountain pass.

Finally, when they were in the ideal position, Su Su gave the signal.

"Now! Attack!"

A long whistle pierced the air, and the spirit masters of the Wuhun Palace, who had been hidden on both sides of the mountain, sprang into action. Rocks tumbled down from the cliffs, raining onto the Tiandou Royal Legion.

"Defense! Ambush!" the captain of the Royal Knights bellowed. "Everyone, protect the carriages!"

Just as anticipated, the Royal Guards were prepared.

They were no ordinary soldiers.

These were soul masters in disguise as the falling rocks descended, soul rings appeared beneath their feet.

Brilliant soul skills formed a shield, not a single rock managing to breach their defense.

Su Su was shocked but quickly signaled for the next phase. Thousands of Wuhun Palace soul masters rushed down from both sides of the hills, their martial spirits glowing, ready for combat.

The two forces clashed, and the battle quickly turned into chaos. But to Su Su's dismay, the Tiandou Royal Legion proved to be a formidable opponent.

Despite being outnumbered, they fought in well-coordinated groups, overwhelming the Spirit Hall's forces.

"Concentrate your forces! Take them down!" Su Su ordered in desperation.

The Wuhun Palace soul masters grew more frantic, focusing their attacks on the carriages. But the Tiandou legion's defense was unyielding, progressing slowly but steadily.

Suddenly, a fiery serpent shot into the sky, followed by an explosion of fireworks. It was a distress signal—help was on the way.

"They've signaled for reinforcements!" Su Su's face turned pale. She hadn't expected things to go this badly. "We're running out of time! Do we abort the mission? No! I refuse to fail!"

Chen Changfeng, however, remained calm.

A cold smile spread across his face as purple light flickered in his eyes.

He had been waiting for this.

He saw through the chaos a contingent of soul masters wielding the power of thunder.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant dragon clan, loyal to the Tiandou Empire, had arrived.

But in Chen Changfeng's mind, they would meet their end here.

"I said, one minute."

He turned to Su Su, who was on the verge of hysteria. "Watch closely. Don't blink."

In that moment, he unleashed his power, the very force of destruction itself.
