Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo moved simultaneously. While the Golden Iron Triangle was indeed a true trinity spirit fusion skill, how could they withstand two Title Douluos of level 95 and 96? The
terrifying pressure emanating from the two Title Douluos was many times stronger than that of Dugu Bo, whom they had fought before.
"I will live and die with Shrek Academy." Qin Ming took a step forward, standing firmly in front of Tang San. As a member of Shrek Academy, he resolutely chose the academy at this moment.
"Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish." Bibi Dong was furious. The moment her nine spirit rings appeared, a terrifying pressure swept out, a massive pressure like a tsunami, easily shattering the Golden Iron Triangle's spirit fusion skill.
Boom!
A crisp cracking sound rang out before the Papal Palace. The golden holy dragon, formed from the golden iron triangle, began to show cracks spreading rapidly from its head. In the blink of an eye, it shattered completely, the surging energy waves dissipating into golden halos that vanished into the air.
At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo surrounded the Shrek Seven Devils. Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was about to attack, he was suddenly surprised to find a deep, dark shadow appearing beneath Xiao Wu's feet. His mind raced, and he quickly understood.
"A chrysanthemum, a brat, you dare harm my son? Get out of my way!" A deep voice suddenly rang out, like an explosion in the air. The voice wasn't loud, but the domineering aura it contained caused everyone's bodies to tremble involuntarily.
The next moment, a blood-red Clear Sky Hammer descended from the sky. Its immense power sent the two titled Douluos flying several meters away, and the powerful impact even put immense pressure on the Shrek Seven Devils.
At the same time, Cheng Xiao, who had been watching the situation closely, looked up at a point in the sky. Behind him, all the shadow soldiers noticed this scene as well, but they could sense the king's intense and surging emotions.
"Your Majesty..." Ah Yin whispered.
A black figure silently appeared in mid-air, floating there quietly, as if it had always belonged there.
It was a middle-aged man, appearing to be in his fifties, tall and robust, but his attire was far from flattering. He
still wore a tattered robe, without even patches, revealing his bronze skin. His once handsome features were now covered in a sallow complexion, giving him a sleepy look, and his hair was a mess, like a bird's nest.
With each step he took, a spirit ring rose beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
The nine spirit rings that appeared on Tang Hao were exactly the same as those on Pope Bibi Dong. His last spirit ring was a 100,000-year spirit ring.
"Dad...Dad, you've finally come!" The moment Tang San saw the newcomer, his eyes reddened, tears streaming down his face as he struggled to speak.
"Tang Hao, you've finally come!" Bibi Dong roared, her eyes filled with venomous hatred as she stared at Tang Hao in the air, almost spitting fire.
Tang Hao faced her coldly, showing no fear. In a flash, he landed in front of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo retreated to the Pope's side. The three Title Douluos unleashed their full spirit power, the immense pressure causing the surrounding spirit masters to hastily retreat, fearing they would be crushed into a pulp by the terrifying pressure.
Facing the oppressive aura of three Title Douluos, Tang Hao sneered, "Bibi Dong, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"If Qian Daoliu were here, I might not be afraid, but you alone are not worthy."
As Tang Hao finished speaking, his seventh spirit ring shone brightly, and the massive black Clear Sky Hammer behind him suddenly erupted, its intense black light surging and surging. The enormous Clear Sky Hammer unfurled in the wind, transforming into a hundred-meter-long weapon, its massive head resembling a small mountain.
Red patterns emerged from the massive Clear Sky Hammer, and Tang Hao's 100,000-year spirit ring suddenly lit up, instantly turning the black hammer completely red.
"Tang Hao, do you think you can leave so easily after coming here today?" Bibi Dong waved her hand, and four figures instantly flew out from the Papal Palace behind her—these four were also Title Douluos.
"Four more Title Douluos?" Dugu Bo swallowed hard, muttering, "It seems the Spirit Hall was fully prepared..."
At the same time, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo simultaneously launched their strongest attacks on Tang Hao, unleashing their ninth spirit skills together. A golden storm of blades, accompanied by dark shadows, resembled the arrival of death itself.
"Everyone, help me take down Tang Hao!" Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she completed her spirit possession at that moment.
Facing the collective attack of seven Title Douluos, Tang Hao's face showed a solemn expression. However, he was now in a difficult position and could only step forward to launch a final counterattack against the seven Title Douluos' attacks.
"Soaring Strike!" Tang Hao moved, and the hundred-meter-long super hammer in the air suddenly crashed down. He wasn't aiming at the three Title Douluos in front of him, but rather at the Papal Palace behind them.
In an instant, the air throughout Spirit City distorted.
"Tang Hao, prepare to die!" Pope Bibi Dong was furious. She no longer cared about the Spirit Hall's reputation and was determined to kill Tang Hao completely.
Seeing that Bibi Dong was not protecting the Pope's Palace but was attacking him desperately, Tang Hao was shocked. At the same time, all nine of his spirit rings lit up, and then the first eight spirit rings exploded.
"Ring Explosion - Great Sumeru Hammer!"
"Haotian brat, you're courting death!"
Just as the super hammer was about to smash into the seven Title Douluos, a fierce shout suddenly rang out. Immediately afterwards, several powerful attacks shot out from the Pope's Palace. The most astonishing of them were the two long dragons, one red and one blue, and the huge crocodile phantom that appeared in the sky.
Boom!
Instantly, the huge roar shook the Spirit Hall. At this moment, all the spirit masters below level 70, except for Cheng Xiao, were stunned and fainted. This loud noise almost turned the Spirit Hall into ruins.
On the Spirit Hall side, thirteen figures stood before the Papal Palace, while the giant hammer in the air dissipated.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang Hao plummeted to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Even with his Clear Sky Sect divine technique, how could he possibly withstand the formidable lineup of the Spirit Hall's Pope, six elders, and six enshrined elders?
"Second Enshrined Elder, you've come too." Slightly adjusting her chaotic spirit power, Bibi Dong looked at the enshrined elders beside her, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
These elders usually only obeyed Qian Daoliu's orders, but now that Qian Daoliu was seriously injured and still unconscious, they had chosen to help. This truly surprised Bibi Dong.
"The Hall of Enshrined Elders is destroyed. If the Papal Palace is destroyed as well, how can we face the Grand Elder?" Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at Bibi Dong, his voice heavy.
Just then, Bibi Dong was suddenly startled. The battle had sent countless fragments of stone and dust flying from the ground, creating a cloud of smoke that obscured everyone's vision. As
the dust settled, Tang Hao's figure vanished, along with the unconscious Tang San.
"Tang Hao!" Bibi Dong practically spat out the name through gritted teeth. But when she noticed the two figures disappearing from the Seven Star Academy's rest area, she suddenly realized something. Then, in front of all the Soul Masters, she loudly announced, "Tang Hao, as an enemy of the Spirit Hall, along with his son, will be rewarded with a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone by any Soul Master who can capture him!" This announcement immediately caused
a stir below. The value of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was self-evident, and many Soul Masters understood the Spirit Hall's purpose.
The Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were truly about to fight; only one of these two forces could survive.
After speaking, Bibi Dong turned and left without looking back, while the other elders and retainers also headed towards the Papal Palace.
Currently, Bibi Dong was the only one in power within the Spirit Hall.
Watching Bibi Dong leave, Grandmaster was filled with rage, but he couldn't utter a single word. Before him stood not only Bibi Dong, but also thirteen Title Douluos—such beings; to speak now would be tantamount to suicide.
Seeing his friend's state, Flander patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
"Xiao Gang, let's go. Tang San has his father; he'll be fine."
Grandmaster said nothing, broke free from Flander's arm, and quickly left.
Liu Erlong, seeing this, hurriedly followed.
The other five members of Shrek Academy exchanged glances, unsure what to say.
"Alright, children, the competition is over, and it's time for you to graduate." Flander sighed, forcing a smile. "As you've seen, Shrek Academy has offended the Spirit Hall, and things won't be easy for us from now on."
"Dean, don't say that," Dai Mubai tried to comfort him, but found himself powerless to do anything, so he simply remained silent.
Flander shook his head with a wry smile, looking at Ma Hongjun, his only disciple. "Hongjun, what are your plans now?"
"Teacher, as you know, I love freedom. Now that I've finally graduated, I want to travel around the continent, broaden my horizons, and then come back to Shrek Academy to help you," Ma Hongjun said, scratching his head and chuckling.
Flander felt a warmth in his heart; his disciple was actually thinking of coming back to help him. He was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Little Oscar, what about you?" Flander then looked at Oscar.
Hearing Flander's words, Oscar was about to say something, but then he fell silent. After a long while, he forced a smile and said, "Dean, I plan to travel the continent and improve my strength."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Oscar with some surprise. She seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes held more admiration for Oscar.
Compared to her unmotivated, unresisting, and decadent fiancé, Oscar's actions impressed Zhu Zhuqing more. However, she didn't intend to continue like this. She already had a plan in mind. She didn't even plan to return to the Star Luo Empire. Since this world required strength to speak, she might as well try and make her way in this world.
...
Night fell.
In a wide clearing of the Star Dou Great Forest, Cheng Xiao sat listlessly on a blue stone. Not far from him, Xiao Wu was explaining something to Da Ming and Er Ming, but judging from the smile on her face, it must have been something to be happy about.
In the clearing, Da Ming and Er Ming listened quietly to Xiao Wu recount the events of the past few years. Their initial worry gradually turned into shock, relief, and finally, relaxation.
For the past few years, since Xiao Wu was taken away, they had been constantly worried about her safety. But now, seeing Xiao Wu brought back safely by Cheng Xiao, their eyes were filled with gratitude as they looked at him.
"Our king... is such a gentle person." Most of the shadow soldiers were soul beasts, so they were deeply moved by this scene.
Of course, the soul beasts killed by Cheng Xiao also showed him genuine respect. After all, following the king, their current strength far surpassed that of their former selves. They had become accustomed to serving the king; this was the most basic awareness of a shadow soldier. Only heartfelt loyalty could make them the sharpest sword in the king's hand.
"Cheng Xiao, are you leaving?" Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly asked.
Cheng Xiao nodded and smiled, "Yes, I plan to go to the far north to resolve some potential troubles."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu stopped talking. She put her hands behind her back, gently walked to Cheng Xiao's side, and then rested her head on his shoulder, whispering, "Then you must be careful..."
Cheng Xiao smiled wryly, looked up at the brilliant night sky, and muttered to himself, "Don't worry, I will."
The starlight poured down, and everything around was so peaceful.
Neither of them spoke again. Under the night sky, they were quiet, very quiet.
...
As a ray of morning light filtered through the leaves, a tremendous roar echoed through the Starry Sky Forest, which had been quiet all night.
A colossal black beast flapped its wings and roared fiercely towards the sky. Seeing the dragon Nash up close for the first time, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming were all startled.
"Heavens, heavens..." Da Ming and Er Ming instinctively wanted to prostrate themselves. The aura emanating from this beast made them feel the suppression of a superior being—a top-tier powerhouse many times stronger than themselves.
"I'm leaving." Cheng Xiao instantly stood atop Nash's head. Xiao Wu chuckled and waved to Cheng Xiao.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye..."
"Upwards."
"Roar!!"
Nash seemed to have been waiting for a long time. At Cheng Xiao's command, it immediately flapped its massive wings and soared upwards.
Unable to speak, Xiao Wu stared blankly at the receding giant figure until it disappeared completely. Only then did she lower her head and silently say, "Next time we meet, I will be stronger. Only then can I help you."
Cheng Xiao stood atop Nash's head, fully enjoying the feeling of the howling wind.
...
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Cheng Xiao could clearly feel the air growing colder. The chill made him frown, but after connecting with Nash's power and borrowing the Ice Dragon King's power, he was immune to the cold.
As he ventured deeper, Cheng Xiao had completely penetrated the desolate far north. Not long after flying in, Cheng Xiao saw a huge figure wandering in the snow not far away. Although it looked up at the sky and noticed the flying dragon, it was smart enough to simply watch and didn't attack.
Cheng Xiao didn't pay it much attention. His purpose for this trip was to recruit the army of the Frost King; as for the three Heavenly Kings of the far north, he had other plans.
In this godforsaken place, even the drifting snowflakes were hard, and the biting wind made Cheng Xiao's clothes rustle. Although he wasn't afraid of the cold or the wind, it didn't mean his clothes couldn't withstand it.
Fortunately, he could still use the Fire Dragon King's abilities, so it wasn't too bad.
"Nash, let's go down and take a look." Having not seen the Frost Legion for a long time, Cheng Xiao decided to go down to the ground to check.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon receiving the king's order, Nash instantly appeared on the snow. Then, Cheng Xiao jumped off its back, and Nash transformed back into human form, guarding his lord's side.
Cheng Xiao walked on the snow-covered ground for a few minutes. Suddenly, the dark clouds in the distance rippled violently, and then, from the distant northern horizon, a layer of emerald green light spread across the sky.
The dark sky instantly turned emerald green, a translucent and alluring emerald green, its captivating color like the sky high above suddenly transforming into a giant emerald green gemstone.
As the emerald green spread across the sky, Cheng Xiao sensed an extreme power of ice, though it was considerably weaker than the Ice Dragon King's.
Cheng Xiao quickly disappeared into the vast expanse of ice and snow; he was going to see what was happening, or rather, to join in the fun.
...
"You despicable bastards!" The Ice Emperor gazed into the distance, her eyes meeting only the corpses of dead soul beasts. Many of her own kind had been slaughtered by these white demons.
Within the Frost Legion, a long-haired white demon on horseback noticed the Ice Emperor. Even compared to the slain scorpions, its aura was enough to overwhelm its entire legion.
However, the long-haired white demon was unconcerned. Holding a longbow formed of ice, it stared at the Ice Emperor like a hunter eyeing its prey, a haughty smile on its face. It should have known better; these ice scorpions, like them, likely had a legion commander.
"You're not human, yet you're a lowly creature just like humans. I can't wait to see you die a horrible death."
"You think you can handle this?" The Ice Empress's clear voice was filled with murderous intent. The azure sky instantly turned dark green, a dense killing intent descending from the heavens. She would not allow these innocent people who had indiscriminately slaughtered her clansmen to escape.
"Hahahaha, courting death? If death is your wish, then so be it."
