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

Chapter 227 Horrifying Ice Explosion, No One Survives (4K)

"Vice Leader, have you discovered anything?"

Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, stood amidst the ruins of Shrek City, his eyes filled with an indescribable excitement.

Who could have imagined that the Holy Spirit Cult, after being driven out of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, would face further suppression from Shrek Academy upon arriving in the Three Kingdoms region? They were prepared to lie low for a long time, but Shrek Academy suddenly collapsed.

Now, these remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult are incredibly grateful that Sun and Moon didn't exterminate them back then, otherwise their fate wouldn't have been much better than Shrek's.

"No, everything of value has been looted. The Body Sect and the Sun Moon Sect have plundered the entire Shrek City, leaving it as clean as a face."

Feng Ling shook her head helplessly.

This situation was to be expected, and they didn't really intend to get anything of value from these ruins.

Most importantly, they planned to play a game of hideout, taking advantage of the fact that the remaining members of the Three Kingdoms and Shrek cults were too preoccupied to pay attention to this place, and to hide a portion of the Holy Spirit Cult members.

However, Feng Ling was not in a good mood at the moment. She wanted to take revenge on that bastard Yan Shaozhe, but that didn't mean she was willing to let him die at the hands of outsiders.

If she could, she would still want to make that bastard pay the price herself; otherwise, everything she had done would have been meaningless.

Fortunately, the news said that some people from Shrek Academy survived, including Yan Shaozhe, who apparently went to Xingluo to seek political asylum.

It's good that he's alive. Being alive proves that he still has a chance. He must be feeling terrible right now.

Yan Shaozhe's suffering makes her happy. Didn't he say he would protect Shrek Academy? Now that Shrek Academy is gone, let's see how arrogant Yan Shaozhe can be in the future. The Bright Phoenix, humph, has now been reduced to a chicken.

Standing beside her was a woman, also shrouded in black robes, whose face was obscured but could be identified as a woman.

It was Ma Xiaotao who happened to be taken away by an elder to obtain her seventh soul ring when the Holy Spirit Cult was attacked.

At this moment, this person's soul has been controlled by the secret methods of the Holy Spirit Cult. In other words, through the evil methods of the Holy Spirit Cult, his memories have been completely altered, and he is like a puppet without any emotions. The evil fire on his body is not so much controlled as it has evolved more thoroughly through extreme means.

With the Holy Spirit Cult being driven out of Sun and Moon, this person has now spent a long time on the run with Feng Ling and others. The number of people who have died at his hands is not in the hundreds but thousands. He is a complete killing machine.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's eyes trembled slightly as she gazed at Shrek Academy not far away through the black veil on her face, and two tears uncontrollably fell.

Seemingly sensing Ma Xiaotao's emotional change, Feng Ling walked to her side with a sickly smile on her face.

"Look, that was once the top Shrek Academy on the continent, but now it's all in ruins."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many people and eyes in the city now, and that Shrek has all left, I would really like to let you meet those Shrek guys."

"But it doesn't matter. You'll have another chance to see that bastard, who is also your teacher. Remember, his name is Yan Shaozhe. I will make you appear in front of him and watch you kill each other."

"."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes twitched slightly again, but her puppet-like soul prevented her from resisting or questioning Feng Ling's words in the slightest.

Yan Shaozhe, this guy has now been memorized and added to her kill list.

"Alright, we can't let Shrek Academy go either. Before the guys from the Three Kingdoms and other major forces gather in large numbers, let's go and loot them first."

Every time Zhongli Wu heard his wife Feng Ling talk about Yan Shao Zhe, he felt like he was being insulted to his face.

Although Shrek Academy is littered with severed limbs and debris, and it's unclear what methods the Sun Moon Sect and the Body Sect used to remove the Golden Tree, what if there were some oversights and some valuable items remained?

Shrek Academy, with its millennia-long heritage, who can guarantee just how profound its foundation truly is?

Even if everything is completely looted, it doesn't matter. The corpses that haven't been dealt with yet are still excellent materials for the Holy Church. The souls of those powerful dead may not have been completely annihilated at this point, and their value is even greater.

Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were not in the Holy Spirit Cult's group this time. Their whereabouts were currently unknown, but neither of them showed any interest in such matters.

Besides Zhongli Wu, Fengling, and Ma Xiaotao, the Holy Spirit Cult also brought Zhang Peng, the surviving sixth-rank Scorpion Tiger Douluo, and Wu Yun, the eighth-rank Crow Douluo, to the Shrek Ruins.

They were lucky enough to survive the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult last time, unlike the elders who died directly in the last operation by the Sun and Moon to wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.

Behind Zhang Peng was a girl in a black cloak. She was younger than Ma Xiaotao, but her temperament was more bloodthirsty. If Ma Xiaotao gave people a feeling of evil, then this one was cruel.

No need to guess, it's Tang Ya, who left Shrek Academy after the first All-Continent Soul Master Tournament to avenge the Tang Sect, slaughtered the entire Iron Blood Sect, and was then favored by the Holy Spirit Cult, becoming an evil soul master.

Like Ma Xiaotao, this person's soul was also controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult, and at this moment, he was also a puppet without any emotions.

It's quite interesting that both of the Holy Spirit Cult's prospective Holy Maidens are actually students of Shrek Academy. This is quite a commotion. Could it be that Shrek Academy is really a targeted production base for evil spirit masters?
Members of the Holy Spirit Cult began to converge on Shrek Academy. Because they did not want to attract too much attention, no evil spirit masters took advantage of the emptiness of Shrek City to go on a killing spree.

As members of the Holy Spirit Cult continued to enter Shrek Academy, members of the forces from the Three Kingdoms also continued to enter Shrek City.

There are no powerful figures from the royal families of the three kingdoms among them. After all, given the previous rumors about the Golden Tree, they are too busy distancing themselves from Shrek Academy to get involved with them at this critical juncture.

Shrek Academy.

Before the Sea God Lake, a bottomless, enormous pit appeared before everyone's eyes. It was the former site of the Golden Ancient Tree. The once vibrant Sea God Lake had become unusually ordinary due to the disappearance of the Golden Ancient Tree, and it no longer possessed its former rich vitality.

The lake water continued to pour into the pit, seemingly symbolizing Shrek's final act.

"This must be the location of the Shrek Golden Tree from before. I never thought we'd have the chance to come to the core of Shrek Academy again. Times really do change!"

Zhongli Wu remarked with a touch of culture, "If Shrek Academy were still around, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant even if he had a hundred times the courage."

At this moment, the evil spirit masters gathered around and cleared out some of the miscellaneous soldiers, including spies from some of the earlier forces.

At this moment, Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, brought several Soul Saints from the Holy Spirit Cult with him, and more than a dozen evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult were full of excitement.

"Master, you'd never guess what we've discovered!"

Seeing how excited these people were, Zhongli Wu also became interested. Shrek Academy had been cleaned up quite thoroughly by the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Sect. Could it be that those corpses were really preserved by the Sun Moon Sect and the Body Sect?

They're actually quite nice.

Zhang Peng and the others didn't keep them in suspense. They led Zhong Liwu and the others around Shrek Academy, showing them the bodies of Xuanzi and the others that they had found buried in the ground.

"Good good!"

Zhongli Wu was extremely excited. These were excellent materials, perfect for crafting puppets. He hadn't expected the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Sect to leave them such a generous gift. Then, the Holy Spirit Sect members discovered the corpses of Shrek Academy elders and powerful figures in various locations. The corpses of the students were also collected and gathered together.

What puzzled them was that even though the Body Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect upheld the spirit of humanity, these corpses shouldn't be so widely distributed.

It's strange, it's like it was deliberately arranged.

However, there was no time to dwell on these trivial matters, because the people stationed outside had already sent word that many forces from the Three Kingdoms had entered Shrek City and it was time for them to retreat.

Just as Zhongli Wu and the others were about to take action and collect the remains of Xuanzi, Cai Meier, and other Shrek Academy powerhouses, the advance teams from the Xuanming Sect, Tianlong Gate, and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect finally arrived.

"Evil Soul Master?"

The Xuanming Sect sent a team led by a level 95 Super Douluo powerhouse, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sent a Soul Douluo and several Soul Saints, and the Heavenly Dragon Sect sent two titled members from the Dragon Blood Elder Council and a group of Soul Saint powerhouses.

In addition, there were other powerful figures from various sects.

The Holy Spirit Cult thought it had been discreet enough, not engaging in widespread killing, but it was still discovered by the powerful figures of these forces.

On the issue of dealing with evil spirit masters, these forces are remarkably united in their opinions.

"Gentlemen, let's deal with the Holy Spirit Cult first, and then discuss how to arrange Shrek City, shall we?"

The elders of the Xuanming Sect were the first to step forward, and of course, they said they were making arrangements for Shrek City, which included discussing how to divide the interests of Shrek City.

Shrek Academy has been destroyed, but the industries that depend on Shrek City should still be preserved, so that Shrek may have a chance to be rebuilt in the future.

"Alright, let's deal with the Holy Spirit Cult first."

"Unexpectedly, these evil spirit masters have a keen sense of smell. Shrek Academy just suffered a misfortune, and they shamelessly came up to us."

"Ahem, let's get started."

"."

In truth, if necessary, these people would not want to confront these lunatics of the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, there was no other way. The situation had reached this point, and if these evil spirit masters were to be released so easily, not only would the Three Kingdoms lose face, but the forces that depended on the Three Kingdoms would also lose face.

It's time to show our strength. We can't beat the Sun Moon Sect and the Body Sect, so we don't dare to fight them, but we don't dare to fight you evil soul masters either.

In the past, these guys were considered like vermin, not worthy of their attention.

Although I don't know why those guys from the Clear Sky Sect didn't show up, it's even better this way. They won't get a share of Shrek City's pie when it comes to dividing up the spoils.

"court death!"

Zhongli Wu didn't expect these guys to actually dare to make a move. No, they've always been this brave, haven't they? Don't they know that the Holy Spirit Cult of the Sun and Moon is not on the same level as the evil soul masters of the Three Kingdoms?

We should be grateful we're not causing you any trouble, yet you dare to lay a hand on us? You really think you're something special.

In terms of combat strength, none of the powerful figures gathered in Shrek City at this moment are a match for Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling. The strongest combat force on the Three Kingdoms side is only a level 95 Super Douluo, while they have a level 98 and a level 97, as well as a level 95 powerhouse like Zhang Peng.

Zhongli Wu was wondering to himself, could there be a follow-up force from the Three Kingdoms behind them? Otherwise, why would these guys be so confident?

In fact, it wasn't just the Holy Spirit Cult that was having doubts; the forces on the Three Kingdoms side also sensed something was wrong as soon as they made their move.

Wait a minute, these guys from the Holy Spirit Cult actually have several Super Douluo. This is different from the evil soul masters they've seen before. Could these guys be from the Sun and Moon Sect?
Those corpses were located in the center of the battlefield at that moment. Given the amount of extreme ice that Huo Yuhao injected, it would be impossible to detonate these corpses unless the soul power fluctuations were at the title level.

Once one of the corpses is detonated, the resulting explosive energy will cause a chain reaction involving all the corpses, and the power of each explosion will be no less than the power generated by these people's self-destruction before they died.

And that was indeed the case. The battle had just begun, and in the instant that the powerful figures from the Three Kingdoms clashed with the Holy Spirit Cult, the energy generated by some soul skills accidentally fell onto the corpses.

Originally, the corpses were evenly distributed throughout Shrek City. Huo Yuhao's plan was to spread the damage as much as possible and distribute it evenly. He even specifically set the explosion time.

Even without the energy test of a titled powerhouse, these corpses would still cause an ice explosion at some point in time.

However, these corpses happened to be gathered up by the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, which was something Huo Yuhao had not anticipated at the beginning.

It was these coincidences that brought together the ice explosion, which was supposed to be less destructive, to an unprecedented level.

"boom!!"

A massive explosion, deafeningly loud, suddenly erupted without anyone's prior warning.

In an instant, everyone felt an overwhelming, profound stillness, their hair stood on end, and even their souls trembled.

At this moment, centered on the piled-up corpses, the temperature in the entire area instantly dropped to absolute zero, the air was frozen into solid crystals, and targets below the Soul Saint level were directly turned into ice sculptures, their vital signs disappearing in less than 0.1 seconds.

It was clearly an explosion, but there were no fireworks. Instead, a blue cloud of extreme ice elemental flames rose thousands of meters high.

Ice crystal fragments mixed in with the fiery cloud shot out at supersonic speeds. Each ice blade carried the mark of the Ice Explosion spell, triggering a new explosion the moment it made secondary contact with surrounding objects, thus forming an exponentially expanding chain of destruction.

The extreme low temperature caused the local spatial structure to distort, and all elemental energy within the explosion range was forcibly frozen at this moment, instantly forming a field of absolute death.

Compared to direct vaporization, this kind of damage, which is completely irresistible, where everything is frozen and one can only watch helplessly as one's own destruction and death occur, is far more terrifying than any of the former.

Death, death, and more death!

The entire Shrek City was plunged into unprecedented desolation. All the lives present were taken away in an instant by this terrifying ice explosion, without even the chance to leave their last words.

Zhong Liwu, Feng Ling, Zhang Peng, Ma Xiaotao, Tang Ya, and many other forces that came with them all perished in this ice explosion, turning into tiny ice crystals without even a chance to resist.

Level 98 Super Douluo?

Even a Limit Douluo would have absolutely no chance of survival in the face of so many titled corpses containing ice explosion techniques, especially in the core area!

The entire Shrek Academy, along with most of Shrek City, was instantly turned into a dead end, and not a single life escaped.

Today is destined to be another horrific disaster recorded in the history of the continent since the destruction of Shrek Academy.
