Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 388 Ya Li is seriously injured in the bombing, Yun Ming is furious, and Xu Tiandi's feint attack
“Rumble——!!!”

The destructive roar was not a fleeting moment, but a continuous howl, tearing apart, and annihilation.

The energy storm generated by the five level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells stacked together formed a terrifying energy sphere with a diameter of over a kilometer, filled with extreme high temperatures and impact forces capable of vaporizing refined gold and distorting space.

The earth was lifted, pulverized, and evaporated layer by layer, forming a continuously expanding, bottomless, scorched giant crater.

The shockwave spread out in a ring without restraint, causing the towering walls of Shrek City in the distance to shake violently and crack open with countless jagged fissures.

At the very heart of this destructive storm, a dazzling golden light curtain, like a candle flame stubbornly flickering in the tempest, tenaciously held onto the last inch of ground.

Yun Ming, who was directly subjected to the explosion, let out a roar that was swallowed up by the blast wave.

He could clearly sense that the destructive energy of the explosion contained an extremely insidious design. It was not a simple violent explosion, but rather contained an extremely sharp penetrating characteristic specifically targeting energy defenses and the protective soul power of strong individuals.

This characteristic perfectly countered his fully deployed defense.

"Crack...knock..."

A terrifying cracking sound rang out, and countless fine cracks appeared on the golden light screen conjured by the Heaven-Supporting Divine Spear.

Yun Ming let out a painful groan as violent energy instantly slammed into his body through the cracks in his defenses.

His four-character battle armor groaned under the strain, instantly becoming dull and even showing minor damage.

The terrifying impact tore at his body, his meridians felt like they were being scorched by fire and ruptured inch by inch. Blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, eyes, and ears, but he still held on tightly with his arms, protecting the person behind him in his arms.

In the end, Yun Ming was forced to reveal a complete divine position, which slowly emerged from behind him!

It instantly shielded him from all the explosive force.

However, the peak power of the explosion finally subsided, but the destructive aftershocks continued to ravage the world. Mushroom clouds formed by smoke and dust mixed with destructive energy rose into the sky, blotting out the sun.

The golden light faded, revealing a desolate scene inside.

Yun Ming knelt on the ground, using the Sky-Supporting Divine Spear to support his body so that he wouldn't fall.

He was covered in blood, his handsome face stained with blood and scorch marks, his breathing became extremely disordered and weak, and each breath was accompanied by excruciating pain that felt like his whole body was being torn apart.

Although it looked serious, it was just a minor injury to Yun Ming.

But he didn't care about himself at all, and suddenly looked down at his chest.

"Yali! Yali!"

His voice was hoarse, filled with unprecedented panic.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li had her eyes closed at this moment, her beautiful face was as pale as paper, and blood kept flowing from the corner of her mouth, staining her pure white dress red.

The radiant holy light surrounding her had become extremely dim, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Even with Yun Ming's all-out resistance and the protection of her battle armor, a considerable portion of that terrifying penetrating and destructive energy still managed to seep into her body, frantically destroying her life force.

Her breath was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

"It's actually... a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that specializes in penetration and energy erosion..."

Yun Ming instantly understood, his eyes instantly becoming bloodshot and turning crimson.

"That bastard! He planned it all out! He knew I would come to greet him with Yali! He knew I would do everything in my power to protect Yali!"

"These specially designed shells... are they meant to penetrate my defenses, severely injure, or even... kill Yali?"

Boundless rage and a chilling aura instantly overwhelmed Yun Ming's heart. "Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!! Emperor Xu!!!"

He looked up to the sky and let out a heart-wrenching roar, the sound waves shaking away the surrounding dust and smoke, filled with excruciating pain and rage.

"You once pursued her too! You repeatedly said you loved her! You promised her you would protect her for the rest of your life!"

"And now you've used such vicious methods to severely injure her? Are you even human?! Do you have any humanity left?!"

Yun Ming's roar, like that of a wounded lion, echoed between the shattered heavens and earth, filled with despair and hatred.

The earth-shattering explosion and Yun Ming's roar, brimming with soul power, instantly alarmed the entire Shrek City.

Powerful auras surged into the sky from within the city without hesitation, rushing towards the site of the explosion at an extremely fast speed.

All the top soul masters in Shrek City were extremely anxious at this moment!
In the midst of this extreme chaos, when everyone's attention was drawn to the tragedy outside the city and Yunming's roar,

A figure appeared silently in the inner city of Shrek City, even crossing Poseidon Lake and standing on Poseidon Island in front of the Poseidon Pavilion.

The newcomer was dressed in a crisp federal parliamentary speaker's uniform, holding a seemingly ordinary wooden cane. His face was dignified, but a faint, cold, and mocking smile played at the corners of his mouth.

It was none other than the Federal Speaker, Emperor Xu Tian.

He watched with a smile as the mushroom cloud soared into the sky and the chaotic energy fluctuations outside the city rose into the air, as if admiring a magnificent painting.

"That's right, the explosive yield, the attribute effects, and the resulting disturbance are all still within my calculations."

He muttered to himself, his tone as flat as if he were evaluating a tool.

The next moment, Yun Ming's roar, filled with pain and anger, faintly reached his ears, especially Ya Li's name, which clearly fell into his ears.

A faint hint of mockery flashed across Xu Tiandi's face:

"Ya Li? Ha... I just guessed that someone would come with you to welcome Zhen Hua, but who knew you would be so arrogant as to let Ya Li come with you?"

When Ya Li was mentioned, Emperor Xu felt a pang of nostalgia:
"When I was young, I was also captivated by the gentleness and beauty of such stunning women, and even competed with that idiot Yun Ming for her affections. Most importantly... I was about to get Ya Li, but Yun Ming came and ruined everything."

But this nostalgia was instantly replaced by endless coldness and ambition.

"But now it seems that the so-called beautiful women are nothing more than pink skulls that hinder the hegemony. They are all show and no substance."

He chuckled, his eyes sharp as an eagle's gaze.

"When I become the supreme master of the entire Douluo Star, uniting all forces, with inexhaustible resources and boundless territory, I will accomplish a great feat that even my ancestor Xu Tianran could not achieve, destroying Shrek Academy, annihilating the Tang Sect, unifying the continent, and advancing into the universe beyond Douluo Star... becoming the master of the entire Douluo Star, the one and only god!"

"By then, what kind of woman can't I have? Why would I need Yali?"

"Besides..." his tone became even more contemptuous and cold, "she's a woman Yun Ming has been with? What's it to me!"

"I'm a germaphobe. I don't need women who have been touched by others, nor do I need to be their dog."

"In my eyes, love and romance are far less important than the dream of becoming the true master of the entire Douluo plane!"

"I'll do anything to defeat Yun Ming!!!"

With a somewhat morbid obsession, Emperor Xu laughed loudly, and then his figure became blurry again.

The next instant, he seemed to ignore all the defensive restrictions and mental barriers surrounding the Sea God Pavilion, and appeared directly in a space filled with golden light and an extremely rich life force.

Deep within the Sea God Pavilion lies the core sacred ground where the Golden Ancient Tree resides.
