Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 160 The Martial God Descends, the End of Destiny
The shadow of war, like the heaviest lead weight, pressed down heavily on Shrek City.

Outside the city, a massive army of Qin soldiers, their uniform formations, their mechanical weapons gleaming with cold light, and their chilling aura of iron and blood rising into the sky, filled every soul master defending the city with a sense of suffocation and despair.

Within the city, the decree of the Sea God Pavilion Master spread to every corner of the academy.

"Shrek, fight to the last man!"

This command, filled with tragedy and determination, struck the heart of every Shrek soldier like the loudest war drum.

They knew this was a battle with no way out.

Alternatively, they could die on the battlefield, becoming dust in history along with this glorious city that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Either create a miracle, defeat the powerful enemy, and defend Shrek's last shred of dignity!

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Driven to the brink of despair, the Shrek people unleashed an unprecedented courage and fighting spirit!

With the inner court disciples at the core and the outer court elites as support, all the teachers, students, and even some elders who had long since retired all went up to the city wall.

They will use their own flesh and blood and souls to build the last line of defense for Shrek Academy!
Clad in battle armor and wielding a soul-guided cannon, Yan Shaozhe personally stood guard in the center of the city wall. His face had long lost its former elegance, leaving only the resoluteness and responsibility of a dean.

Xian Lin'er, Cai Mei'er, and other teachers and students from the Soul Guidance Department carried all the Soul Guidance Devices in the academy's inventory to the city wall, preparing for a final artillery duel with the enemy.

Even those support-type Soul Masters who were used to a life of luxury picked up their weapons at this moment, ready to offer their last bit of strength for their comrades.

The entire city of Shrek was united in its resolve, a tragic and fierce battle.

However, in the face of an absolute disparity in strength, mere courage and willpower are utterly pale and powerless.

"put!"

Outside the city, amidst the Qin army's ranks, the archer Huang Zhong, with a stern face, slowly raised his fiery bow.

Give an order!
Thousands of armor-piercing heavy cannons roared simultaneously!

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Countless beams of energy, gleaming with destructive light, streaked across the sky like a meteor shower, trailing long flames, and poured down upon Shrek City's defensive array and the guards on the city walls!

This is a saturation barrage that would make any level nine Soul Master tremble!
"Activate shields! Hold on!"

Yan Shaozhe's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in fury!

Shrek City's defensive formation was instantly activated to its limit. Huge light shields formed by the convergence of countless soul masters' soul power rose up layer upon layer on the city walls, attempting to withstand this earth-shattering attack!

however…

Click! Click! Click!

This was only the first round of artillery fire!

The seemingly indestructible protective light shield was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, just like glass struck by a giant hammer!
Immediately following, under the second and third rounds of even more intense artillery fire!

Shattered!

"what!!!"

Countless Shrek defenders were swallowed up by the violent energy torrent the moment the city's protective formation shattered. They didn't even have time to scream before turning into ashes!

The entire Shrek City wall trembled and collapsed violently under the terrifying bombardment!
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shrek Academy's proud city defense system was already... on the verge of collapse!
"Damn it! Damn it!"

Yan Shaozhe stared at the horrific scene of death and injury on the city wall, his eyes bloodshot and his heart breaking.

He knew that if things continued like this, the entire Shrek City would be razed to the ground in less than half an hour!

Right at this most desperate moment!
"Taotie, devour the heavens!"

A roar filled with boundless violence and madness soared into the sky from the direction of the Sea God Pavilion!

Suddenly, the aged figure of Elder Xuan appeared above the city wall. In an instant, his body swelled and mutated, transforming into a gigantic Taotie beast over a hundred meters long, exuding ancient ferocity!

Level 98 Limit Douluo, Gluttonous Douluo, Martial Soul True Form!

"Swallow it for me!"

The monstrous beast that Elder Xuan had transformed into suddenly opened its gaping maw, which seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth!
An invisible yet terrifyingly powerful suction field instantly enveloped all the energy cannon fire pouring into the city!

Those energy beams that were enough to easily destroy the city walls were swallowed whole by the enormous maw of the gluttonous beast the moment they came into contact with the devouring domain, like rivers flowing into the sea!
"belch…"

Elder Xuan let out a loud burp, and the soul power fluctuations on his massive body actually intensified even further!

He actually... treated those energy cannons as... a great tonic?!

Upon seeing this, all the surviving Shrek atop the city walls erupted in thunderous cheers! "Elder Xuan is mighty!"

Long live the guardian deity!

However, outside the city, in the command tent of the Qin central army.

Sitting upright on the dragon throne, Qin Shi Huang looked at the arrogant Taotie beast reflected in the water mirror, a cold, mocking expression on his face.

"sucker Punch."

He uttered four words softly, then turned to the peerless general beside him, clad in silver armor, wielding a gleaming silver spear, with a face as handsome as jade and eyes as sharp as lightning, and said in a low voice:
"Zilong, go and take his head."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yun clasped his hands in acceptance of the order, a hint of fierce fighting spirit flashing in his eyes!

With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of silver light, mounted the magnificent Night-Shining Jade Lion, let out a high-pitched roar, and charged out of the command tent like lightning!

"Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here! You monster, cease your arrogance!"

A clear dragon roar resounded through the sky!
Zhao Yun became one with his spear, transforming into a giant silver dragon soaring through the heavens. With an unstoppable and terrifying aura, he charged straight towards the Taotie beast that was displaying its might on the city wall!

"Well done!"

Upon seeing this, Elder Xuan was not surprised but delighted, and a boundless fighting spirit burned in his cloudy old eyes!

He slapped his giant claws hard, and his massive body also charged towards Zhao Yun!
Limit Douluo versus the Five Tiger Generals!
This is the true... ultimate showdown in this war of national annihilation!
boom! ! ! ! ! !

The silver dragon spear and the black gluttonous claws collided fiercely!
The terrifying energy shockwave completely tore apart the surrounding clouds!
Although Xuan Lao's Taotie True Form possessed boundless power and astonishing defense, it appeared somewhat clumsy in the face of Zhao Yun's Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, which was so skillful that it seemed to contain some kind of "Dao" trajectory!
Zhao Yun's movements were like a dragon soaring through the air, graceful yet deadly.

Every thrust of his spear struck precisely at the weak points in the defense of the Xuanlao Taotie's true form!

A mere few dozen rounds of combat!

Elder Xuan's massive body was already covered in wounds and dripping with blood!

"This...this is impossible!" Elder Xuan was shocked. "Your spear technique...how...how can it ignore my soul power defense?!"

"There is nothing in the martial arts world that is indestructible except speed!"

Zhao Yun's voice remained calm and confident.

"Your strength is great, but... it's too slow!"

The words have not yet been spoken!

"Seven Probes Serpent Coiled Spear!"

The bright silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand instantly transformed into seven deadly silver streaks, like seven venomous snakes that would devour their prey, simultaneously stabbing at the seven vital points of Xuan Lao Taotie's true form from seven incredibly tricky angles!
"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Seven arrows of blood shot out simultaneously from Elder Xuan's body!

His enormous gluttonous form could no longer hold on, and with a mournful howl of resentment, he plummeted from mid-air, smashing a huge gap in the walls of Shrek City!

Martial Soul True Body, Break!

Shrek Academy's guardian deity, the Gluttonous Douluo Xuan Lao, is defeated!
"Do not!!!"

On the city walls, all the Shrek people, witnessing this scene, let out desperate cries of despair! For a moment, the entire Douluo Continent was plunged into immense strategic passivity and panic due to the Qin Dynasty's forceful declaration of war.
Elder Xuan has been defeated, so what hope do they have left?!

Just then, Ying Zheng, inside the command tent, slowly rose, a cold, resolute glint flashing in his eyes that looked down upon the world.

"Preach my will."

"All troops... launch a general offensive!"

"Today, I will make Shrek City... completely disappear from this continent!"

however.

Just as the million-strong army of the Great Qin Empire was about to launch its final all-out offensive, completely submerging this glorious city with its millennia-long heritage under the iron hooves and cannon fire!

A sudden change occurs!
In the new world of Kings, at the Jixia Academy, the once peaceful spacetime passage suddenly began to twist and spin violently again without warning!
Next!

A terrifying energy surge, more vast and ancient than ever before, filled with endless majesty and sacred aura, roared from the other end of the passage!

Yan Boshan, who was observing everything in the quiet room, suddenly opened his eyes!

For the first time, his face showed an extremely solemn expression!

He could clearly sense a terrifying will... far surpassing that of God King Tang San, and perhaps even... having touched upon an even higher level, forcefully tearing apart the dimensional barrier, preparing to... descend!!!
