Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 329 Shrek's Nuclear Explosion (Part 2) (4 words)

As if a death switch had been pressed, the amplification array inside "Heavenly Meteor" instantly shone brightly, emitting a blinding, ghastly white light.

A deep, muffled thud that made one's heart clench suddenly rang out. It did not come from the shell itself, but from the groan of the extremely compressed torrent of energy inside the cannon as it forced its way through the air.

Several level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, exuding an ominous aura and engraved with dark red runes, broke free from the cannon barrel at the same time and suddenly accelerated downwards!
A piercing shriek tore through the sky, carrying a shockwave that seemed to tear everything apart, as if Death himself had sounded the horn of destruction, engulfing the entire Shrek City.

Before destruction struck, the Sun and Moon Soul Master Corps, having completed their mission, had already accelerated their ascent and fled far away from this place without the slightest hesitation, leaving behind only a cold and cruel feast of death about to unfold.

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion were extremely anxious. They sat in the Sea God Pavilion, ready to fight, waiting for news that Shi Xing, the leader of the Shrek City Defense Army, would bring news of the Sun Moon Empire's army approaching the city, or that they would symbolically launch soul-guided cannons to attack from the land.

But they never expected that the greatest danger would come from high above.

By the time that chilling shriek reached us from afar, the golden tree was already swaying, and an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light rose up, shooting straight upwards.

Then, as the golden light rose, it spread wide enough to cover the entire Poseidon Island, transforming into a huge golden dome that made Poseidon Island look like half a golden egg emerging from the surface of Poseidon Lake.

A giant golden dragon, formed from the golden light of the golden tree, appeared out of thin air, raising its head and roaring.

"Elder Mu!" Xian Lin'er exclaimed in shock, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment, and knelt down directly in front of the golden dragon.

The other elders also bowed slightly with solemn expressions, paying homage to Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo who, though physically dead, still protected Shrek Academy, and chanting the name "Elder Mu".

Moon is not completely dead; this is something the elders all know, and it is a secret hidden in their hearts.

All the Limit Douluo who graduated from Shrek Academy throughout history could use a secret technique to forcibly integrate their soul power and part of their soul into the Golden Tree before they perished, thus coexisting with the Golden Tree.

This lingering will can remain for at least a hundred years before it is gradually absorbed and assimilated by the Golden Tree, eventually becoming nutrients that nourish its growth.

Although not every Limit Douluo in Shrek Academy's history would make a choice like Mu En.

However, over a period of ten thousand years, the number of Limit Douluos absorbed and assimilated by the Golden Tree is not small.

At this moment, Mu En, who was only a remnant soul, was naturally unable to unleash the power of the Limit Douluo in his prime.

However, in the critical moment when Shrek Academy faced annihilation, he was able to communicate with the source of the Golden Tree and mobilize the vast power accumulated by the Golden Tree over thousands of years to deal with the threat.

Although this power can only be activated within the Shrek City area, the Golden Tree has, after all, accumulated over ten thousand years.

As Shrek Academy's last line of defense, the power of the Golden Tree is so strong that even the Beast God Di Tian, ​​the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, could not directly shake it.

It is precisely because the Golden Tree's influence range is not very large that Shrek City has never been able to expand outwards.

Upon sensing the approaching threat, Moon's remnant soul awakened within the Golden Tree and immediately used its power to protect Seagod Island, erecting a golden barrier.

All he could do was protect Poseidon Island.

Otherwise, if the elders were to deal with that dangerous power, even a level 98 Super Douluo like Xuanzi would inevitably lose most of his life or even die on the spot. There is absolutely no third possibility!

However, due to the incompleteness and fusion of his soul, he always felt as if he had forgotten something, as if some information had been missed in the dark.

"Hmm? Xuanzi is already level ninety-nine?" The golden dragon's enormous eyes seemed to pierce through space, looking towards the deepest part of Seagod Island, the secluded cultivation place heavily guarded.

Xuanzi is currently in seclusion there.

"This aura... is it the blessing of the Sea God Ancestor? What exactly happened?"

However, Moon only glanced at it and then ignored it. The huge dragon head looked up at the sky, golden light shooting out from its eyes, and it raised the power it could control to the extreme!
At that moment, the elders finally saw the several level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that were plummeting from the sky.

The cannonballs themselves did not appear ferocious, but they carried an aura of destruction. The dark red runes gradually magnified before their eyes until the aura of destruction descended upon the golden barrier.

The whole world seemed to have been muted, and time seemed to have frozen for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the location of Shrek City, this sacred place that has borne the glory of Soul Masters for ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent, was completely engulfed by a suddenly rising, unimaginably intense light!
The burst of light was swift and domineering, expanding and exploding rapidly from its core towards the sky and surrounding areas.

A highly condensed and compressed shockwave, forcibly pushed apart by the torrent of soul power, spread out instantly the moment the light engulfed Shrek City, crushing in all directions like a razor.

Even a titled Douluo with exceptional eyesight observing from afar could only see that, in that instant, the entire outline of Shrek City blurred, distorted, and shattered!
Within the range of the shockwave, statues symbolizing the greatness of Shrek's forefathers and sturdy buildings were easily blown away like sandcastles, and thick city walls were crushed into dust like rotten wood. As the shockwave swept through, everything around was pushed aside, like an ever-expanding circle of death, leveling everything with unparalleled violence!
"boom--!!!"

Only then did the terrifying, ear-tearing, soul-shaking explosion catch up deafeningly after the shockwave had passed.

The enormous pressure difference caused large chunks of the earth's surface to be overturned, and even several small hills in the distance were flattened.

Terrifyingly hot air mixed with immeasurable dust, vaporized buildings, sand, and molten metal, was frantically drawn upwards by the scorching rising air currents, forming a giant mushroom cloud that seemed to reach the sky and pierce the clouds, enveloping the entire Shrek City ruins and the surrounding area.

The sky over this area has become murky and murky, with ashes and burning debris being carried further and further away by the gale.

Shrek City, once the heart of the continent and a symbol of unparalleled glory, has now been completely transformed into a vast graveyard covered in smoke, fire, and lava.

That enormous mushroom cloud resembled a gray-black tombstone standing between heaven and earth, using the ruins at its feet as its epitaph, proclaiming this most powerful vengeful judgment from the Sun and Moon Empire!

Despite being far enough away from Shrek City, the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Fighting Spirit Empire, and many powerful figures from various sects still underestimated the intensity of this trial.

The strong wind blew all the way from Shrek City to a distance, and even where they were, they could feel the terror of the explosion.

"Is this the foundation of the Sun Moon Empire?" someone asked, their voice hoarse and strained.

"The explosion in Mingdu was far more devastating than the explosion we are witnessing..." A powerful figure who had personally experienced the Mingdu explosion spoke up. After all, it was just a few level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells. Even with increased power, it couldn't compare to the successive explosions of the two weapon depots. Not to mention ordinary shells, there were more than four or five level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells stored there.

"So... if the Sun Moon Empire really launches a war before the Soul Battle Tournament, even if our three great empires unite, there is absolutely no way we can withstand their offensive?" asked a Guardian Douluo of the Soul Battle Empire.

"Didn't our three kingdoms unite more than four thousand years ago? And what was the outcome then?" Another Guardian Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire sneered, bringing up the continental war four thousand years ago.

At that time, it was precisely because the three countries were unable to defeat the Sun Moon Empire even when they united that Shrek Academy issued a summons, integrating the vast majority of the continent's strongest warriors with the armies of the three countries, and in one fell swoop defeated the Sun Moon Empire, forcing it to cede a large amount of territory, thus losing its sovereignty and national dignity.

Shrek Academy has brought this upon itself, not only giving others leverage over it but also provoking the three great empires and some sects. Even if they wanted to help, they were powerless to reverse the situation.

Moreover, they all thought the Sun Moon Empire would directly besiege the city, and no one expected such a devastating blow from the sky.

What's even more chilling is that while the three great empires are also developing soul guidance technology, the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology is progressing far too quickly.

Originally, there seemed to be a generational gap between them, but in the past year, the Sun Moon Empire has been like it has been given a cheat code, and its progress is faster than that of the previous ten years!

It's as if the Sun Moon Empire was originally just an ordinary person who was a head taller than them, but suddenly they transformed into a giant.

As the shadow of death gradually dissipated, a hazy golden light emerged from the smoke and dust.

The golden tree, which had always been shrouded in the misty fog of Poseidon Lake, has now revealed its original appearance to the outside world.

The area surrounding Shrek City was almost entirely reduced to ruins. As far as the eye could see, the land seemed to have been thoroughly plowed, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

Only the Starry Sky Forest was not greatly affected; a section of the outer forest was blown down by the shockwave, but it subsided completely under the protection of different colored lights after a short distance.

It was just a minor aftershock, far less powerful than what Shrek City had endured.

At this moment, protected by the Golden Tree, some of the elders sitting upright in the Sea God Pavilion finally remembered that the city lord of Shrek City, the leader of the city defense army, the Time Douluo Shi Xing, was not in the Sea God Pavilion at the moment, but was patrolling the city walls with the city defense army...

Where is he right now?

They might be buried under the rubble, turned into dust, or perhaps they've already risen into the air with the smoke and dust, but they definitely wouldn't have survived this horrific explosion.

The city's garrison troops were probably the same.

In an instant, all the elders felt as if they had fallen into an icy abyss.

"Outrageous!" A hot-tempered elder was overcome with grief and could no longer contain himself. He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his chest heaving violently as he panted heavily like a bull.

"The Sun and Moon Empire! How could they be so heartless and cruel! They left no room for negotiation whatsoever! They let these fine young men die without a burial place!"

"Snapped!"

Yan Shaozhe slammed his hand on the long table in front of him, losing control of his strength and sending wood chips flying. He roared, "It's all Wang Dong'er's doing! Even that wolfish Xu Tianran would never dare to treat Shrek Academy like this! Yet she is so ruthless!"

His voice was filled with deep-seated hatred.

There was no need to see the hellish scene with the naked eye; the elders could sense the horrifying sight outside Seagod Island simply by scanning it with their spiritual power.

The entire Poseidon Lake surrounding Poseidon Island was no longer the vast expanse of water it once was; it evaporated completely the moment the judgment arrived.

The outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, the square that had received countless new students, the towering teaching buildings, the Soul Arena, the Beast Fighting Area... all their outlines and foundations have been completely destroyed.

The outer courtyard, and even the entire Shrek City, is now just a huge, dark pit, and Seagod Island is the only land that survived in this pit.

Any single level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell has the power to destroy a medium-sized city.

The simultaneous detonation of several enhanced level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells released by "Heavenly Meteor" would destroy even a massive city like Shrek City, which is located in the center of the continent.

If it weren't for Moon's remnant soul drawing upon the power accumulated over ten thousand years by the Golden Tree, choosing to protect only the Seagod Island, this golden barrier would never have been able to protect the entire Shrek City under such power.

On a remote hill, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao stood side by side.

Even as Limit Douluos, the two were repeatedly amazed by such power.

Ye Xishui, in particular, had lost much of her madness, and her eyes had become clearer.

She had always known that the Sun Moon Empire had a lot of level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, and she also knew how powerful level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs were. However, when Xu Tianran was still the crown prince, she was not unaware of the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology.

These exploding level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells were definitely not ordinary level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells, and the soul-guided cannons that fired them were even more extraordinary.

Is this Kong Deming's secret contingency plan, or...?

She had sensed something even before the Soul Fighting Tournament began; it seemed the Sun Moon Empire was doing something behind the scenes.

Those amazing technologies, those completely different soul tool concepts... although they came from Mingde Hall, they were completely different from Mingde Hall's previous style.

She originally thought that Xu Tianran was secretly making a powerful soul tool to deal with her, but now it seems that Xu Tianran has long been a puppet without realizing it, he is simply a stupid pig.

Fortunately, Shrek Academy still had a last resort to save Seagod Island; otherwise, even she wouldn't know how to rescue Yan Shaozhe under these circumstances.

She hadn't expected this unexpected bombing tactic from the sky.

“Xi Shui, you saw it too.” Long Xiaoyao said, “Let’s stop here. Let’s take Shao Zhe with us…sigh, I don’t even know if he has any descendants. Anyway, let’s leave this continent and find a deserted place.”

"Otherwise, given Wang Dong'er's personality, she will definitely take action against you. At that time..."
