Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 190 The End of Shrek City

Shrek Outer City.

As the sun sets, painting the earth in a golden-red hue, freight trucks orderly enter the Chengguan checkpoint.

Several staff members conducted routine checks, but the checks were clearly very lax.

Another checkpoint worker took the documents handed to him by the truck driver, glanced at them symbolically, and then handed them back: "Alright, go in. But remember, there are some places where trucks are not allowed to enter. If the security department catches you, it won't be so easy to get away."

"Okay, thank you for your help." The truck driver said with a simple smile, then started the truck and entered through the special passage.

One after another, freight trucks drove away through the special lane, drawing envious glances from the other drivers waiting in line.

No one could have imagined what a deadly weapon was hidden inside that freight truck.

……

The next evening.

"Ancient Wilderness, God of War, what a domineering name."

On the path leading to the Soul Arena, Wu Siduo, with her arms linked with Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan on either side, said with a joyful expression.

Upon learning that her two sisters had also inherited divine positions, Wu Siduo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps her sisters don't care that she was the first to attain godhood, but Wu Siduo herself does.

Ye Xinglan asked curiously, "Siduo, Yuanen, how difficult was your assessment?"

Yuan Enhui said in a deep voice, "It's difficult."

Wu Siduo also solemnly replied, "Mine is also very difficult. Without Liu Jing's help, it would be virtually impossible for me to do it."

Ye Xinglan narrowed her eyes and said, "My assessment was also extremely difficult. Compared to that, cultivating a sword soul is nothing."

Nan Liujing walked behind and said with a faint smile, "My suggestion is that you wait until the Three Realms Battlefield operation is over before you consider completing the Divine Trial mission."

Upon hearing this, the three women instinctively looked at him, their eyes flashing with a sharp light, clearly indicating that they had made up their minds.

Listen to advice, and you'll have a full meal.

In another month, all forces will gather at the former Demon Forest.

They only wanted to find treasures inside that could improve their cultivation.

For example, Leng Yaozhu consumed the Spring of Life back then. With its help, she successfully broke through to the Soul Saint level and continued to reach the Super Douluo level without encountering any major bottlenecks. Therefore, the Tang Sect was able to remain stable despite possessing the land of immortal herbs. This was because the Three Realms Battlefield could also provide similar treasures, which is why the Tang Sect remained secure.

Otherwise, under such intense pressure, no matter how powerful the Tang Clan is, it would be impossible to withstand the siege of the entire Federation and even the top forces from all sides.

Before long, the four of them arrived at the Soul Arena.

Many students were walking around nearby, and they would greet Nan Liujing with a smile when they saw him. He would calmly nod in response.

The event taking place at the Soul Arena was an award ceremony for the top 32 students in the selection competition. The top six would qualify to go to the Three Realms Battlefield, though the individuals involved would not know this.

Of course, students who have reached the Soul King level can directly obtain the qualification to go to the Three Realms Battlefield, while students below the Soul King level need to compete for a spot.

Leng Yaozhu noticed Nan Liujing arriving with three women, pursed her red lips, and gave a faint smile.

Great, no chaotic situation occurred.

She had long worried that Nan Liujing wouldn't be able to manage the harem, but now it seems she had worried too much.

"quiet."

Dean of Students Luo Hongshao spoke in a deep voice.

For a moment, hundreds of students and dozens of teachers fell silent.

"I hereby declare the selection competition awards ceremony officially open!"

"Clap clap-"

Cheerful applause erupted.

While the Spirit Transmission Academy was bustling with activity, undercurrents were swirling outside the Soul Arena.

outer city.

In a secluded villa, the large hall reeked of blood.

A dozen or so lifeless figures in black robes lay there quietly, blood spreading beneath them.

Amidst the pile of corpses, three cannonballs emanating an extremely malevolent aura hovered in mid-air. Their surfaces were covered with faint, eerie patterns that shimmered. If you listened closely, you could hear terrifying cries and wails, as if countless vengeful spirits were imprisoned inside.

A tall, thin middle-aged man stood calmly beside the pile of corpses, his face completely hidden in the dark red cloak he wore. With a wave of his hand, three extremely sinister cannonballs fell into a specially made storage soul tool. The shielding device on the surface did its best to suppress the fluctuations of the cannonballs.

"Lord Ghost Emperor, I've finished here."

A hoarse voice rang out from beneath the dark red cloak.

He slowly raised his head, and the red glow of the setting sun streaming in through the window illuminated his expressionless face.

"Wait for my instructions."

The voice of the Demon Emperor Axe was fast and short, as if he was trying his best to suppress his excited emotions.

"Yes, sir," the Dark Blood Demon replied, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on his face.

As dusk falls and evening approaches, Shrek City sheds its midday heat and becomes quite cool, with crowds of people out looking for food or sightseeing.

Laughter and cheers filled the air. As a city that has never been breached in the past ten thousand years, a sense of security is the least of its concerns.

"Om-"

Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken for a moment, the brightness seemed to dim instantly, and the clouds on the horizon quietly tore apart.

This scene went unnoticed by the millions of ordinary people in the city, but it alerted Soul Masters of Super Douluo rank and above.

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.

A gentle, soft female voice said, "Did your teacher appear in your dream again?"

Ya Li gently massaged Yun Ming's temples from behind to dispel his unease.

Inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Ya Li had the opportunity to break through her limit realm with the help of the life torrent drawn by the light cocoon condensed by Na'er. However, it was obviously not a good place to break through, so she simply entrusted a trusted senior member of her direct lineage to go and help keep an eye on things.

Yun Ming closed his eyes, his face solemn: "For the past few months, my teacher has appeared in my dreams almost every few months. He seems to be reminding me of something, but I just can't figure it out. I tried to ask Elder Jin, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, without any response."

Ya Li frowned: "Again, the characters 'blue' and 'emperor'?"

"Hmm." Yun Ming opened his eyes.

Ya Li paused for a moment while rubbing her temples, and Yun Ming naturally sensed it, so he couldn't help but ask, "Li'er, do you have any guesses?"

Ya Li hesitated: "The characters 'blue' and 'emperor' together form 'blue emperor.' You told me that, Brother Ming. The teacher also said something else, but it was vague. I was wondering if the vague character between these two characters might be the character 'silver.'"

Yun Ming's pupils suddenly narrowed. He then said in a deep voice, "It's not that I didn't think of the Blue Silver Emperor, but in this era where land-based soul beasts are almost extinct, let alone the Blue Silver Emperor, even the Blue Silver King might not be found. Furthermore, even if the Blue Silver Emperor is a 100,000-year-old being, it only has the strength of a Super Douluo, which is not considered very strong."

Yali shook her head: "Then I really..."

Before they could finish speaking, Yun Ming and Ya Li sensed something at the same time. They exchanged a glance and, without a moment's hesitation, flew directly out of the Sea God Pavilion.

Meanwhile, inside Shrek Academy, more than twenty elders sensed something, their expressions changed slightly, and they followed Yun Ming and Ya Li to the top of the Golden Ancient Tree to look out.

"Pavilion Master."

Feng Wuyu asked in surprise, "The spiritual energy of Shrek City seems to have been disturbed by an unknown force. What exactly happened?"

All the senior members turned to look.

Yun Ming stood with his hands behind his back, about to say something, when his eyes suddenly narrowed.

In that faraway place, bursts of light shot into the sky, their strange colors tearing through the gradually darkening blue of the sky, streaking across the heavens like a meteor shower, dazzling yet deadly, and falling towards different locations in Shrek City with astonishing force.

Nearly a hundred shells were also fired at Shrek Academy and Spirit Transmission Academy.

Judging from the aura emanating from them, none of them were below level seven. In the Federation's planning, these would already be considered strategically important and deadly weapons.

"Fixed-load soul-guided shells!" Ya Li exclaimed. "How could someone possibly bring so many shells into the city while being detected by the array of soul-guided sensors?"

No one answered Yali.

Before the Shrek Academy experts could make a move, Leng Yaozhu from the Spirit Transmission Academy, who also sensed something was wrong, dispatched a group of teachers to launch a barrage of attacks.

Dozens of figures, all clad in battle armor, used ranged soul skills to intercept them.

In an instant, the sky above the academy was transformed into a sea of ​​fireworks, and the raging energy storm was so fierce that the sky almost became an inaccessible forbidden zone.

This scene was witnessed by everyone at Shrek Academy, and for the first time, they felt that giving up the outer courtyard to the Spirit Pagoda was a good thing.

shhhhhh!
While the experts from both academies were filled with astonishment, within Shrek's outer city, soul power shields rapidly appeared everywhere, like flowers blooming across the land. At the same time, Tang Sect soul masters scattered throughout the city and Federation soul masters stationed in Shrek's outer city also rushed into the sky with solemn expressions, preparing to dismantle some of the fixed-position soul-guided cannons in advance. Otherwise, activating thousands of soul power shields protecting the entire Shrek city at the same time would consume far too much energy, inevitably leading to power supply problems.

If the power supply fails and the shells are not stopped, no one will dare to bear the consequences.

Shrek City has a population of over ten million!
"Boom boom boom——"

Fireworks of death bloomed in the sky, terrifying shockwaves tore through space, leaving behind fragmented traces, and the residual force crashed into the soul power shield, instantly causing a strong tremor.

The tens of millions of civilians who were protected were all initially stunned before falling into extreme panic.

Screams and cries echoed throughout the city.

No one expected that Shrek City, which had been at peace for ten thousand years, would one day be attacked by terrorists.

"howl--"

Just as the first wave of enemy attacks was successfully intercepted, something even more desperate happened.

Sensing and horrified all the ninth-ring experts in the inner and outer cities, a mournful cry suddenly emanated from three directions in the outer city of Shrek Academy, accompanied by eerie crimson light. This time, the crimson light did not fall from the sky to the ground, but appeared directly on the ground.

Where the bloodshed occurred, the number of civilians was close to two million.

At that time, almost all the powerful figures had taken to the air. Apart from the mecha legion that had received the order and the combat power of low-level soul masters, there was nothing else on the ground.

Even though Tang Sect's Zang Xin and Spirit Pagoda's Leng Yaozhu were willing to help, they were too far from the outbreak site, and even with their cultivation levels, it was impossible for them to arrive in time.

Finished!

This is a thought that almost every Soul Master subconsciously thinks of.

Above the inner courtyard, Yun Ming, who had just issued the order to disperse all the elders to provide support throughout the city, couldn't help but look grim.

"Blue Silver Emperor, a great calamity is imminent, why don't you stop!"

Suddenly, a cry of alarm and anger came from within Poseidon Island.

The next moment, just as the eerie blood-red light was about to explode, under the gaze of countless pairs of desperate eyes, the earth erupted with a brilliant golden light like a giant pillar supporting the sky. It roared and enveloped the blood-red light. Upon closer inspection, countless golden leaves swayed in the wind, and the blood-red light stained the leaves. The two merged and eventually dissolved together.

After completing all this, the pillar of light that supported the sky transformed into a torrent of brilliant golden light, which then attached itself to thousands of soul power shields.

"Golden Ancient Tree!"

When the three specially made, earth-corroding blood-red lights were completely extinguished, the Black Demon Blood Demon's face instantly darkened as he released the cannonballs.

"grown ups!"

The madness on the faces of the accompanying evil spirit masters turned into bewilderment.

"Retreat! Leave the rest to Lord Ghost Emperor." The Dark Blood Demon glanced coldly at the dazzling golden light that suddenly rose from the direction of the inner city, and reluctantly gave the order.

In an instant, more than thirty evil soul masters at the Soul Saint level or above collectively retreated out of the city.

"Mr. Jin!"

The sudden change under extremely critical circumstances immediately attracted the attention of all the powerful figures.

On Shrek Academy's side, Yun Ming and the elders who hadn't flown far yet all stared wide-eyed at the golden ancient tree shimmering with dazzling golden light.

Yun Ming's expression was uncertain as he heard Elder Jin's angry shout.

"Yun Ming!"

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the air.

As if sensing something, Yun Ming suddenly turned his head to look, only to see that above the sky, a thick, dark purple light was strangely spreading out, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth was trembling violently in an almost tangible form, giving the impression that the sky was about to collapse.

"How can it be!!!"

Sensing that aura that made their souls tremble, every Soul Master's eyes froze in astonishment.

That is a God-Slaying Fixed-Position Soul-Guided Cannonball.

"Ghost Emperor, how dare you!"

Yun Ming's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer remain calm. He roared and, under the watchful eyes of all the Soul Masters, he soared into the sky. The incandescent light in his hand surged and transformed into a long spear, which he thrust out with an incomparably fierce momentum.

"Why don't I dare?"

A cold laugh rang out again, and in the hazy light, a huge purple skull appeared, upon which sat nine evil soul masters dressed in black robes. At a glance, each of the nine had nine soul rings floating around them, indicating that they were all powerful experts at the Title Douluo level.

Most astonishingly, the leader possessed four blood-red spirit rings and one orange-gold spirit ring.

The purple skull opened its mouth, spewing out a stream of malevolent, viscous flames that collided with Yun Ming's earth-shattering spear intent.

The world instantly lost its color as a terrifying shockwave descended, suppressing all the Soul Masters flying in the air, except for Zang Xin and Leng Yaozhu, who could only watch with solemn expressions.

In the air, a massive, deep purple vortex, encompassing almost a third of Shrek City, was rapidly taking shape. Any elemental energy drawn into it would be instantly torn apart.
