Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 332 Destroying you is none of your business.
"interesting."

"Illusory Dragon, disguised as Di Tian, ​​whispered, his voice carrying a teasing tone like a cat playing with a mouse."

"The courage to come alone is commendable."

The enormous dragon tail swayed gently, stirring up the surrounding clouds.

A negotiation concerning the survival of Shrek City is about to unfold high in the overcast sky.

"You are Yan Shaozhe!"

A cold and merciless voice suddenly tore through the sky, like a sharp blade formed from solidified ice, piercing straight into the depths of everyone's soul.

The moment that sound rang out, everyone on the Shrek Castle walls involuntarily shivered, as if their throats had been gripped, making even breathing extremely difficult.

The city defense soldiers trembled, and the inner disciples subconsciously held their breath, their hair standing on end—this was the supreme power of the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​whose mere voice was enough to make all living beings tremble.

The golden phoenix that Yan Shaozhe had transformed into suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the bright flames burning around him visibly dimmed a bit, like a flickering candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

He clearly sensed that the power contained in that voice far exceeded his comprehension; the difference between the two was like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

The pitch-black clouds began to churn violently, as if a colossal, ancient, doomsday beast was stretching its body within them.

Occasionally, a few jet-black scales with a dark metallic sheen would flash through the gaps in the clouds. Each scale was as large as a millstone and pulsed with a chilling dark energy.

Each time a scale was revealed, it brought Yan Shaozhe immense pressure, like a mountain, causing his soul to tremble slightly.

"Yes, that's right."

Yan Shaozhe suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to keep his tone respectful.

"Why would Your Majesty the Beast God break the hundreds-of-years-old pact and suddenly unleash such a massive beast tide?"

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

At this moment, Shrek Academy's high-end combat power is depleted. Facing Di Tian, ​​the king of ferocious beasts who stands at the pinnacle of the continent, the only way to survive is to show weakness first.

He knew that if he offended the other party with his words, the negotiations would break down instantly, and Shrek City would immediately fall into a bloody inferno.

"why?"

A hint of anger suddenly appeared in his cold voice, as if years of pent-up resentment were about to erupt.

"Humans have never stopped hunting soul beasts. In recent years, the number of our soul beast race has continued to decline sharply, and our territory has been gradually encroached upon by you—now, you ask me why?"

Yan Shaozhe remained silent for a moment.

He acknowledged that the conflict between humans and spirit beasts is deeply rooted, and hunting spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings is the cornerstone of the spirit master's growth system.

But he also knew that this was by no means the real reason why Di Tian launched the beast tide—if it were only because of hunting soul beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest would have erupted long ago, instead of waiting until today.

He composed himself and retorted sincerely.

"Your Majesty, we have been actively seeking solutions to the problem of hunting soul beasts. Now that the Sacred Mark system is widespread, soul masters no longer need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings. Instead, they can obtain safer and more powerful Sacred Mark enhancements. In recent years, the number of times humans hunt soul beasts has decreased significantly, and the living environment of soul beasts is gradually improving—this is by no means a reason for you to break the alliance."

Yan Shaozhe was not a dull person.

He had also heard Dragon God Douluo Mu En describe the nature of this Beast God Di Tian in detail. Given the other party's far-sighted character, it was impossible for him to risk a full-scale war between the Soul Beast race and humans by launching a beast tide, unless something earth-shattering happened.

"Please tell me the real reason, Your Majesty the Beast God."

Yan Shaozhe's voice carried a resolute determination, as if he had nothing to lose.

"Even if Shrek City is doomed to destruction today, please let us die knowing why."

Above the clouds, 'Di Tian' let out a low, mocking laugh, his tone full of ridicule and contempt.

"Heh, what does it matter to you if I destroy you?"

A simple sentence, yet it resounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears, carrying a chilling indifference.

Emerald Swan Brigitte's delicate body trembled violently, and she turned her head in disbelief to look at the black dragon beside her.

Based on her understanding of Di Tian over hundreds of thousands of years, this Beast God, though aloof and arrogant, always regarded the survival of the Soul Beast race as his highest mission, and would never utter such words that disregarded life or even carried a mocking tone.

This is not the Di Tian she knows at all!
A deep-seated doubt spread wildly through her heart like a vine.

"you……!"

Yan Shaozhe, transformed into a golden phoenix, trembled violently, his heart filled with overwhelming anger and humiliation.

At the same time, his face turned deathly pale.

Di Tian's attitude was crystal clear: he didn't care about the reasons or the consequences; he only wanted to destroy Shrek City.

This resolute decision leaves no room for negotiation.

"Damn it! If you want to fight, then fight. The worst that can happen is death."

Di Tian's words of contempt for all living beings were not only clearly heard by Yan Shaozhe, but also by everyone on the city wall.

Xianlin'er's already fiery temper was instantly ignited. She slammed her hand on the battlement, and the hard obsidian shattered instantly.

"Shrek Academy has no cowards who fear death."

Not only Xian Lin'er, but all the soldiers and soul masters on the city wall showed indignation. Di Tian's words were as if he were treating everyone from Shrek Academy as ants that could be crushed at will.

This blatant contempt, on the contrary, stirred up the fighting spirit in everyone's bones.

"I swear to live and die with Shrek."

It is unknown who first shouted this sentence, but then thousands of voices rang out at the same time, converging into a deafening roar. The morale that had been intimidated by the Emperor's might was reignited at this moment.

"What does it matter to you if I destroy you?"

These chilling words, like a poisoned thorn, pierced the hearts of every Shrek member, completely igniting the pride and fighting spirit buried deep within their bones.

Yan Shaozhe slowly withdrew the burning flames of light around his body and transformed back into human form, hovering in mid-air.

He no longer used the honorific "Your Majesty," and his voice suppressed boiling anger.

"Di Tian, ​​do you really want to do this? Although Shrek Academy is currently at a disadvantage, it is not a pushover to be slaughtered. If you insist on starting a war, even if you eventually conquer Shrek City, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest will pay a heavy price."

He still clung to a last shred of hope—he didn't believe that Di Tian would really disregard the survival of the soul beast race and choose a lose-lose situation.

Based on his understanding of Di Tian, ​​this Beast God, though powerful, always prioritized the continuation of the Soul Beast race.

"Humph!"

Di Tian let out a cold snort that shook the heavens and the earth, and the surging clouds suddenly parted to both sides.

A colossal black dragon head slowly emerged from the sea of ​​clouds, its golden eyes like two scorching suns, shooting out two solid golden beams of light that locked onto Yan Shaozhe.

The overwhelming pressure swept over like a tsunami. Yan Shaozhe groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He staggered back more than ten meters in the air before barely managing to regain his balance.

"get out."

His golden dragon eyes were filled with cold indifference.

"If you dare to say another word, don't come back."

Yan Shaozhe raised his head and looked at the black dragon head that blotted out the sky. The last trace of hesitation in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a resolute fighting spirit.

He took a deep breath and instantly transformed into a streak of light, returning to the city wall. His voice resounded throughout the battlefield like thunder.

"Everyone, listen up! Prepare to fire the soul-guided cannons—Shrek Academy, fight to the death today, we will never back down!"

The deathly silence on the city wall was instantly shattered.

The soldiers quickly adjusted the angle of the soul-guided cannons, the sound of gears turning and the hum of energy charging intertwined.

The Soul Masters released their Soul Rings, and yellow, purple, and black lights intertwined on the city wall to form a magnificent sea of ​​light.

Despite facing a terrifying Beast God and hundreds of thousands of Soul Beasts, at this moment, a resolute flame ignited in the eyes of everyone in Shrek City.

War is imminent.

"Kill! Massacre Shrek City!"

The jet-black dragon head suddenly pressed down on the clouds, its cold and ruthless voice carrying an irresistible majesty that resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

As the command was given, hundreds of thousands of soul beasts simultaneously roared to the sky—wolf howls, tiger roars, dragon cries, and beast roars intertwined, forming a deafening sound wave that even made the earth tremble.

The next second, the auras unleashed by all the soul beasts converged into a terrifying torrent. They pushed off the ground with their hooves and flapped their wings, charging towards Shrek City with overwhelming force.

The densely packed figures were like a surging black tsunami, carrying dust and a foul wind. Wherever they passed, the grass and trees were broken, the earth cracked, and an atmosphere of despair hung over Shrek City like a tangible dark cloud.

"boom--!!!"

The first to break the silence was the array of soul-guided cannons on the south city wall, which had been poised to fire.

The muzzles of the seventy-two Type-2 Soul Guidance Cannons simultaneously lit up with blazing red light. Immediately afterwards, a torrent of crimson energy, like the breath of a giant dragon, tore through the air with a sharp, piercing sound and a deafening roar, hurtling towards the beast horde several kilometers away.

The beam of energy, like divine punishment, struck precisely into the vanguard of the beast tide.

The dazzling flames instantly engulfed swarms of soul beasts, their shrill screams mingling with the acrid smell of burning flesh, drifting towards the city walls on the wind.

The soul beasts directly hit by the energy torrent instantly vaporized, while those that were lucky enough to be affected were charred black and severely injured, instantly tearing open a gap nearly a hundred meters wide in front of the beast tide.

But the gap only lasted for a moment.

The soul beasts behind them stepped over the charred corpses of their companions, their eyes flashing with a crazed red light. They seemed oblivious to pain and death, only knowing to follow that cold command, charging towards the city wall one after another.

Their footsteps trampled over the remains of their companions, crushing blood and bits of flesh into the soil, turning the land muddy and crimson.

"All Soul Masters, listen to my command! Unleash your area-of-effect Soul Skills to suppress the advance of the beast tide!"

Qian Duoduo stood on the command platform at the highest point of the city wall, holding a specially made soul-guided megaphone engraved with complex runes in his hand. His face was solemn, but his voice was loud and powerful.

"The First Soul Master Regiment targets the left flank, the Second Soul Master Regiment suppresses the right flank, and the central area is mine."

As the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, he has a profound understanding of the combination of soul tools and soul skills, and this is the moment for him to take charge of the overall situation.

As the order was given, the three thousand Soul Masters on the city wall simultaneously unleashed their Soul Skills—colorful lights intertwined in mid-air to form a dazzling yet deadly net of light.

Hail, fire rain, thunderstorms, and wind blades poured down like a torrential downpour, while ordinary soldiers also used various portable soul tools to coordinate their fire.
