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

"Shh-"

Three enormous nine-colored beams of light shot into the sky from the three soul tools, then converged and spread out thousands of meters above Shrek City.

In the blink of an eye, a nine-colored energy barrier, with an incredibly vast area, immeasurable thickness, and flowing with countless profound laws and runes, appeared like an inverted giant bowl, completely enveloping the entire Shrek City and a large area around it.

The moment the energy barrier was formed, an invisible, powerful suppressive force, seemingly originating from the very source of heaven and earth, instantly spread out.

In the distance, on the positions of the Central Legion and the Sea God Legion, all the soldiers involuntarily raised their heads, gazing up at the nine-colored sky that seemed to have descended like a miracle, their faces filled with excitement and pride.

Even Legion Commander Yu Guanzhi had a complex look in his eyes as he murmured:
"The Nine Heavens Lock... has been activated."

This is the Ninefold Heaven Lock, one of the strongest defensive level 10 soul tools created by the Federation by pooling countless resources and wisdom.

Its power is almost identical to that of the legendary level eleven soul tool.

Once fully activated, the energy barrier formed is an absolute defense, preventing even a tiny insect from flying in, and making it impossible for anything inside to escape!

Even more terrifying is that within the area covered by the power of the Nine Heavens Lock, all spatial fluctuations are forcibly suppressed, blocked, and disrupted.

All forms of spatial teleportation, instantaneous movement, and even soul skills involving spatial laws are rendered ineffective!
Meanwhile, Yun Ming on Seagod Island had an extremely grim expression.

He clearly felt that the surrounding space seemed to have been encased in a copper and iron wall, becoming incredibly stagnant and solid. His connection with the spatial teleportation array deep within the academy was forcibly severed by a tyrannical force.

He tried to mobilize a trace of spatial power, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response whatsoever.

Finished!

It's completely over now!
Shrek City, along with all the living beings within it, is now trapped like a turtle in a jar, completely imprisoned by the Nine Heavens Lock!
"Brother Ming... what... what should we do?"

Ya Li's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Yun Ming, who was now everyone's only pillar of support.

Yun Ming closed his eyes, took a deep breath of air that seemed to carry the smell of rust, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with a calm resolve to die.

“Underground base.” He slowly uttered four words. “Transfer everyone, especially the children, and you, Yali, to the underground base of the Doomsday Fortress, the deepest part of Shrek Academy.”

He explained, his tone tinged with a sense of admiration for the foresight of his predecessors:
"The predecessors of the academy were farsighted. Thousands of years ago, they witnessed the rapid development of the Federation's soul guidance technology. In particular, when they learned that the Federation had begun to develop the Level 12 God-Slaying Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon, they spared no expense to secretly build this underground fortress."

"Its defensive strength is theoretically sufficient to withstand any known attack."

He looked at Ya Li, his eyes gentle yet brooking no refusal:
"I hope... the glory of Tang San's ancestor will protect you and help you safely overcome this calamity. Ya Li, you too, immediately lead everyone into the underground base!"

Looking into Yun Ming's resolute eyes, Ya Li knew this was the final choice. She nodded forcefully, said no more, and immediately turned around to organize the surviving teachers and students to rush towards the hidden entrance leading to the underground base.

However, none of the teachers and elders who had reached the level of Soul Douluo or Title Douluo moved an inch.

They stood silently in place, their gazes fixed firmly on Yunming, on the land they had protected their entire lives.

I will live and coexist with Shrek!
I'd rather die with Shrek!

They chose to stay, to live and die with the academy that was about to face its end!
After Ya Li and the others disappeared into the underground passage, Yun Ming slowly stood up.

He no longer suppressed his power; a terrifying spear intent, seemingly capable of piercing the heavens and penetrating the deepest hell, erupted from his body like a slumbering dragon awakening. "Buzz—"

The invisible spear intent struck the nine-colored energy barrier that covered the entire city. The barrier, which was so solid that it could withstand the full force of a Limit Douluo's attack, rippled violently like a lake with a boulder thrown in.

The entire barrier flashed wildly, emitting a hum that seemed unable to bear the strain.

The gun intent released in just a moment was so sharp that it seemed to pierce through the "heavenly lock" and tear a hole in the sky!

Yun Ming looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the buildings and the barrier of the Nine Heavens Lock, directly seeing the source of destruction in outer space that had already completed its final calibration.

He spoke in a deep voice, his words echoing throughout the entire Seagod Island:
"Judging from the destructive energy fluctuations coming from above... we only have ten days left."

"These will be Shrek Academy's... final ten days."

His gaze shifted to the most senior and loyal elder beside him, and he slowly took something out of his robes.

That was a token.

The token was neither gold nor wood, and its material was unknown. It had a dark blue color throughout, but its edges were wrapped with wisps of blood-red patterns.

On the front of the token is engraved a trident that exudes the aura of the endless ocean, while on the back is a blood-red longsword full of judgment and slaughter.

Two completely different divine auras strangely merged together on this token, radiating an ancient, vast, and awe-inspiring pressure!

"Ten thousand years ago..."

Yunming's voice, filled with reminiscence and reverence, slowly rang out.

"The Sun Moon Empire's iron hooves clang, the wheels of the era of soul tools roll on, unstoppable, having annihilated three great empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent, and their military might is pointing directly at the gates of Shrek Academy!"

"Back then, Shrek Academy also faced annihilation and the crisis of its lineage being severed!"

"but!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with boundless piety and faith.

"It was Tang San, the ancestor who is far away in the God Realm, who sensed the crisis in the academy and sent down his supreme divine power to protect us."

"They have bestowed upon us the power to turn the tide of history, allowing Shrek Academy to stand forever at the pinnacle of the continent, its legacy enduring forever!"

His gaze was intense, like a burning flame, as he looked at the old Grand Secretary:
"And now, history is repeating itself. The Federation, wielding the power of Soul Guidance Technology, intends to completely wipe out Shrek Academy!"

"But just as that, the Federation can't possibly fathom Shrek's true strength!"

Yun Ming solemnly handed the token containing the dual divine power of the Sea God and the Asura God to the old elder.

"This Sea God Asura Token is given to you. Ten days later, when the final judgment arrives... you will use the blood and soul of Shrek Academy's loyalty to respectfully invite the divine power of our ancestor Tang San to descend upon Douluo once more, to protect Shrek Academy and help it overcome this calamity!"
