Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 218 The Demise of Shrek Academy (5K)

Does Ah Yin know anything about the divine realm? Of course she doesn't.

Tang San planned to follow Rong Nianbing's path and have her deliver his message to Douluo Star, or rather, to Ah Yin and Tang Hao, but this was just a plan.

Now that he's imprisoned, it would take him a lot of effort just to secretly contact Rong Nianbing, so how could he possibly be setting up a plan for Douluo so quickly?

One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the lower realm. This rule is incredibly absurd. Since Huo Yuhao began his journey to the Sun and Moon Realm, so many things have happened in the God Realm, but to be precise, it has only been four or five days.

If Ah Yin and Tang Hao had known about Tang San's situation, they certainly wouldn't be in this predicament now.

At this moment, with the disappearance of the Golden Tree, everyone at Shrek Academy who was fighting was plunged into an unprecedented shock.

what's the situation?
Where did our huge, 100-meter-tall golden ancient tree go? How did it suddenly disappear? Is this scientifically possible?

Not only them, but all the residents of Shrek City witnessed this incredible scene.

The sky cracked open, and countless buildings collapsed suddenly amidst the roar, causing countless deaths and injuries. Then they saw the golden tree, the spiritual symbol of Shrek Academy, disappear into the crack along with its endless root system.

Xuanzi was covered in wounds. As the face of Shrek Academy, he would have been killed in the battle if he hadn't fought so hard and if Du Busi and Kong Deming hadn't deliberately held back.

Not only him, but many of Shrek's elders were injured at this time. On the other hand, Sun Moon, because they were prepared in advance, had a level nine soul guide shield, plus Kong Deming's level ten soul guide Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, so they were only panting heavily.

"Poison won't kill you, Kong Deming, you're the ones who orchestrated all of this!!"

Xuanzi nearly went mad. How could he not guess that the purpose of the Body Sect and Sun Moon Sect's attack was not to fight them at all? He had just been wondering what their purpose was, but now he finally knew.

The Golden Tree, a symbol of the spirit of countless ancestors of Shrek Academy over the past ten thousand years, is the true foundation that has blessed generations of Shrek disciples. This is the true purpose of the Body Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect.

But damn it, how did they do that? Even if dozens of Limit Douluos were combined, there's no way they could take the entire Golden Tree away.

Even a god couldn't so easily tear apart the entire sky and make the Golden Tree disappear from Shrek Academy in an instant.

As for the Shrek Academy students and Shrek City residents who had just died due to the disappearance of the Golden Tree, he had no interest in dealing with them at all.

In fact, neither Du Bu Si nor Kong De Ming expected this to happen, but they quickly realized what was going on.

“Xuanzi, don’t spread alarmist rumors here. Let me ask you, that huge golden ancient tree is where your Shrek ancestors lived. Could they have torn the sky apart and taken it away so easily?”

Kong Deming chimed in, "Hmph, who knows if this is Shrek's emergency response mechanism? Don't just throw such a big pot of dirty water on us."

He's worried about his own disciple now; the commotion just now was too big. He doesn't know if Yuhao succeeded.

"Enough with the nonsense! Even if it ignites a war across the entire continent, Shrek Academy will fight you to the death!"

"Even if you die today, you must return the Golden Tree to me!!"

The other elders also activated their strongest forms, clearly preparing for a life-or-death battle with the Body Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect.

This left Du Busi and Kong Deming momentarily stunned.

No?

Has he always been this brave? Doesn't he know Shrek's current situation?

The second phase of the battle broke out again. Previously, both Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Body Sect had maintained restraint. The former did so because of its disciples and Shrek Academy, while the latter did so because Yuhao's matter was not yet completed.

Now that the Golden Tree is gone, there's no need for either side to test each other anymore.

More than a dozen level-nine soul-guided bombs hovered in the sky, while the Super Douluo on Shrek Academy's side all activated another form of their Martial Soul True Body, possessing their true bodies.

This form allows the Soul Master to retain their human form and gain a significant boost in combat power for a short period of time, but it requires the Soul Master to possess very strong mental cultivation and consumes a great deal of energy.

Clearly, Shrek didn't have time to wait for reinforcements.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!!"

The inner disciples, seeing the terrifyingly powerful level-nine soul-guided bombs overhead and the elders unleashing their strongest forms, had no time to talk about sharing life and death with Shrek Academy.

They can fight for Shrek Academy's eternal glory, but they won't be a fool and die alongside Shrek.

Wang Dong was completely dumbfounded. Like a puppet on a string, she blindly followed the group and quickly retreated from Shrek Academy. Just now, she felt a sudden emptiness in her heart, as if she had suddenly lost something important again.

Boom boom boom! !

With the level-nine soul-guided bombs exploding one after another, the elders of Shrek Academy disregarded everything and were determined to make the Sun Moon Sect and the Body Sect pay the price, even at the risk of serious injury or death.

But this was an unfair battle from the start, and the Sun Moon Sect and the Body Sect, who were initially somewhat wary, suddenly all revealed smiles. Their perspective changed, and a feeling of having the entire world under their control instantly enveloped them.

The changes were most significant in Du Bu Si and Kong De Ming. They exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's meaning.

Since their own disciples have obtained what they wanted and are now safe and sound, they can do as they please. At this point, they will inevitably become mortal enemies with Shrek Academy, so there's nothing more to say.

"Damn it!"

For the humiliation suffered by the Sun and Moon for thousands of years, and for the sake of his elder brother, Du Bu Si, they all attacked Xuan Zi. The famous Taotie Douluo's originally furious red eyes instantly became clear.

How could you do this?

A Limit Douluo and a Level 10 Soul Master teamed up to take on me, a Level 98 Super Douluo, bullying this old man! They have no martial ethics!

"A gluttonous blood feast!!"

The ninth soul skill, Gluttonous Blood Feast, consumes 30% of the user's essence blood to temporarily triple their strength and defense. At the same time, the Martial Soul Gluttonous Divine Ox materializes under the Martial Soul True Body.

Xuanzi was enraged. He attempted to suppress both Du Busi and Kong Deming single-handedly, but his martial spirit shattered, and his angry gaze cleared once more.
"Mr. Xuan!"

Yan Shaozhe was on the verge of death after being hit by several level-nine soul-guided bombs. He was already at the bottom of the Super Douluo ranks, and the reason he was able to hold on until now was because he was fighting alongside Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er.

Regardless of what happened before, Elder Xuan is the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy and its strongest fighter. If something happens to him, Shrek Academy will truly be finished this time.

By the way, as for why Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er both helped Yan Shaozhe, those who know, know. If you don't believe me, look at Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er's nominal husband. At this moment, not only is his body burning and he is about to collapse, but his eyes are also looking at Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe with disbelief and regret.

Guess what the vice dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department is thinking.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know, because there's no need to know anymore. Huo Yuhao is well aware that Shrek Academy's situation is hopeless. Since he's already started, he might as well go all the way to avoid Shrek Academy becoming like an unkillable cockroach and standing up against him again.

The weakened Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult, driven to the Three Kingdoms, are sure to create some interesting sparks.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao transformed into a master of finding bargains. The moment Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department, was seriously injured, he used the Soul Skills [Mirror Flower Water Moon] and [Mental Interference Domain] to pull his consciousness into a mental maze.

The mental energy condensed into countless spatial mirrors. Each mirror reflected the mental energy and projected illusions that were indistinguishable from reality. Although it was a virtual world, Huo Yuhao's manipulation made it impossible for Qian Duoduo to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Having just suffered a shock, Qian Duoduo suddenly saw what he had always wanted to see: in the illusion, everything that had just happened at Shrek Academy was nothing but a nightmare. He won Xian Lin'er's heart and gradually made Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance System flourish. He got what he wanted and could have everything he desired.

"Ah~"

Huo Yuhao remained hidden in the shadows, believing himself to still be kind, and even before this person died, he wanted to weave a beautiful dream for him!

A single burst of concentrated energy caused Qian Duoduo's death!
The mental mirror applied to Qian Duoduo did not disappear; it remained dormant within him. The mental mirror contained the extreme ice that Huo Yuhao had deliberately added, as well as the Ice Explosion Technique, preparing to stage a nested doll effect for Shrek Academy in the final moments.

"Old Qian!"

Yan Shaozhe and even Xian Lin'er had no idea what had happened. Qian Duoduo, who had just been seriously injured, suddenly disappeared without a trace. He was dead, with a smile on his lips before he died.

Xian Lin'er's eyes suddenly darkened. Why? Why did Qian Duoduo die? She didn't know why she had helped Yan Shaozhe just now, but she did it subconsciously. But she clearly had Qian Duoduo in her heart.

Besides, he's my husband. Why did I do that just now? He had a smile on his face, so he must approve of what I did. He won't blame me, right?
These words were obviously not heard by Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo was just the beginning of the first death. After Qian Duoduo died, the originally crazy Shrek went completely insane, trading lives for lives, and one after another, deaths began to occur.

It's strange, though. Some of the elders died with smiles on their lips, and those smiles were all particularly eerie.

They didn't self-destruct, or rather, they didn't have time to self-destruct. That's not typical of Shrek.

Even if he were stupid, Xuanzi would know what had happened. The Sun and Moon Sect and the Body Sect could not have suddenly become so powerful for no reason. Combined with the mysterious disappearance of the Golden Ancient Tree, he guessed that there must be an unimaginably powerful expert helping them behind the scenes.

Xuanzi and the others who were still struggling to hold on watched this scene in bewilderment.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Xuanzi's eyes were filled with tears of blood. Was Shrek Academy really going to perish like this? He was unwilling to accept it. Elder Mu had only been gone for a short time, and Shrek Academy was about to die at his own hands.

Oh, Shrek Academy, with its eternal glory! Shrek's ancestors, Tang San, the ancestor!
Open your eyes and look at Shrek!

At this moment, suddenly...

"Shao Zhe, Lao Zhuang, Lao Lin"

As Xuanzi called out their names, Yan Shaozhe and the others snapped out of their daze and looked at Xuanzi, whose blood was dripping continuously.

"Take those seeds from Shrek Academy's inner court and leave. Remember today's humiliation and avenge Shrek!"

"Elder Xuan!!" Yan Shaozhe and the others felt as if their minds had exploded.

With such a resolute tone and such an arrangement, it was clear that Elder Xuan was prepared to perish together with the enemy, wanting to buy them time through self-destruction.

"Walk!!"

Xuanzi didn't want to say more, so he directly burned his life essence, and his aura surged again.

Shrek's ancestors couldn't help them. If the Golden Tree were still around, they could use its power to resist the Sun and Moon Sect and the Body Sect, and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Now, the Golden Tree has been taken away by the Sun and Moon forces through some despicable means, and Shrek Academy's millennia of accumulation has been destroyed in an instant. Shrek Academy's seeds absolutely cannot suffer any more casualties.

As long as the spirit of Shrek remains, and as long as these little Shrek kids are still around, Shrek will still have hope for the future, and Shrek will have a chance to take revenge.

“Remember this.” Xuanzi turned to look at Yan Shaozhe and the others. “Remember the humiliation of today. The position of Sea God Pavilion Master will be inherited by Le Xuan after my death, to avenge Shrek Academy.”

Shrek Academy has fallen to its current state not because Shrek is weak, nor because they did not give their all, but because their opponents were too despicable.

On the other side, Du Bu Si and Kong De Ming coldly watched Shrek Academy stage this decisive scene.

go?
Now that things have come to this, you can't just leave as you please!

Huo Yuhao, hidden in the shadows, was speechless. He was genuinely worried that the remaining members of Shrek Academy might suddenly start shouting about glory and bonds and charge in.

Yan Shaozhe, Elder Zhuang, and the others dared not delay and scattered in all directions, heading towards the inner disciples of Shrek Academy's outer city and the current Shrek Seven Devils.

They did not believe that the Sun Moon Sect and the Body Sect could kill them all. As long as the flame could be preserved, the spirit of Shrek would continue, and with the protection of the gods, they could still recreate what happened ten thousand years ago and rise from humble beginnings.

Xianlin'er and several elders stayed behind. The former was determined to die for Qian Duoduo, while the latter elders had their families and everything else in Shrek City. They did not want to become spendthrift dogs and were determined to live and die with Shrek.

These individuals decided to risk their lives to buy time for the others to retreat.

The ninth-level soul masters of the Sun and Moon Sect tried to stop them, but the ninth-level soul guide bombs had already blocked the way out. Xian Lin'er and an elder were once again seriously injured by the bombs.

Xuanzi, at the cost of burning his own life force, stopped Du Busi and Kong Deming's actions.

It was precisely because of their decision that they bought time for Yan Shaozhe, Elder Zhuang, and Elder Lin to escape.

"Yuhao, should we make a move?"

Gu Yuena was secretly itching to make a move, but Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"Right now, Shrek Academy cannot be completely wiped out, otherwise the war between the Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon will break out. Keeping them alive will give us more time for what comes next."

"Moreover, they are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. Next, these Shrek guys will simply break up their groups and disperse them into the academies of the three kingdoms. Only by keeping these troublemakers around can this operation be truly considered a success."

"Shrek's millennia-long glory has been destroyed in an instant. One can imagine the enormous blow this will deal to the morale and leadership of the three kingdoms. Everyone needs to spread the word about what happened here."

These are not the main reasons. The reason why Yan Shaozhe and the others were kept alive was because Huo Yuhao wanted to use them to infiltrate the Three Kingdoms and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to influence the overall situation.

This was to prepare for the upcoming all-out war and the complete elimination of the conservative forces of the Three Kingdoms.

Everything needs a reason, and given the irreconcilable relationship between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Sect, they don't need to worry about eliminating the power struggle between the three kingdoms and the sects. Shrek Academy will naturally create a large network connecting all the relationships for them.

That way we won't have to deal with those surrenderers and defectors!
At the same time, we'll test whether those in the divine realm are truly unable to interfere in the mortal world.

If Tang San doesn't intervene even when Shrek Academy is destroyed, then it will prove that something unexpected has happened in the God Realm that he is unaware of. Then, he can truly do what he wants on Douluo Star.

Of course, he wasn't going to let Wang Dong go. Although he didn't know what the situation was like on Di Tian's side, he figured those two from Haotian Sect must be having a hard time right now. So, it was time to take back the other half of Tang San's daughter's soul.

"You two old bastards, even if I die, I will make you know that Shrek's eternal honor is inviolable!"

Du Busi and Kong Deming frowned. Did this old guy really dare to self-destruct?

Not only Xuanzi, but also Xianlin'er and several other elders made the same decision.

Before Du Bu Si and Kong De Ming could make a move, Xuan Zi's body began to swell explosively, and something unbelievable happened to Xuan Zi, Xian Lin'er, and the elders.

Their injuries, which they had been able to barely suppress, suddenly erupted, causing their soul power and condition to deteriorate to an extreme degree.

Moreover, their spirit and soul were like a piece of metal, being twisted back and forth by an inexplicable force, their entire bodies out of control.

"That despicable fellow, he still doesn't dare to show himself!"

Xuanzi coughed up a mouthful of blood, and Huo Yuhao no longer concealed himself. He stopped using his soul skill [Mental Chain] to tear apart the souls and spirits of the others. It was over, everything was over, and it didn't matter if he appeared now.

His figure slowly appeared. The Sun and Moon Sect and the Body Sect showed no expression, but Xuanzi looked terrified.

"It's nice to meet you again, Lord Taotie Douluo."

Xuanzi felt a chill run down his spine. Of course, he knew this top genius of Sun Moon, the boy who killed Dai Huabin and seriously injured Bei Bei and He Caitou in the last All-Continent Soul Master Competition, and the boy he had painstakingly tried to kill.

Why is he here? Looking at him, why do I feel an even stronger sense of oppression than when I was facing Du Busi and Kong Deming?

"you you"

Xuanzi's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.

Huo Yuhao shook his head upon seeing this, "That's right, the reason they died with smiles on their faces and couldn't self-destruct was all my doing."

"Including everything Shrek is suffering today."

"Does Lord Taotie Douluo have any last words?"

My last words: I'm about to self-destruct right now, even in death I'll take you all with me.

However, his idea was ultimately impossible to realize. Just as Xuanzi burned all his essence and even his soul, recklessly trying to self-destruct, the surrounding space and time seemed to freeze for a moment.

The sixth soul skill, Soul Anchor Point, was created by Huo Yuhao. It involves a spacetime paradox, compressing a moment of existence into a mental anchor point and implanting it into spacetime, forcibly retracing back to the moment recorded by the anchor point.

In other words, Xuanzi burned everything he had in an attempt to self-destruct, but it was forcibly reversed. He couldn't even trigger Huo Yuhao's soul skill's immunity to instant death during its cooldown period.

"I am not reconciled!"

Xuanzi died, but his body and soul bones, like those of the elders, were all preserved. Xian Lin'er and the other elders didn't even have the ability to self-destruct; they all perished under Huo Yuhao's mental attacks.
