Mountain River State Chart

Inside the Ming Capital Grand Stadium.

At this moment, several hundred powerful warriors at the level of Two-word Battle Armor Master or above have gathered here to confront each other.

Above the Stadium, hundreds of Mecha, at least purple level, were distributed around the area, with three Divine-level Mecha leading the way, sealing off the entire sky.

The Spectator, which should have been bustling with noise, were now completely silent.

Thousands of Spectator gripped their clothes tightly, barely daring to breathe. Many had cold sweat beading on their foreheads, their eyes darting back and forth between the Battle Armor Master confronting each other below and the Mecha in the air, filled with fear.

"Oh my god... what is going on? Is it a terrorist attack?" A young Spectator's voice trembled, and the person next to him quickly covered his mouth.

Everyone knew that if a conflict broke out here, regardless of which side won, these unarmed ordinary people would be the first to suffer collateral damage.

Even a wisp of Soul Power released during a battle by Battle Armor Master can be fatal to an ordinary person with no foundation in Soul Power.

Long Yeyue stood at the forefront of the Shrek and Tang Sect camps. Although she was old, she was still upright. Her cane tapped the ground lightly, making a crisp sound.

She raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the Battle Armor Master and Mecha belonging to the War God Temple in the air, her voice loud and clear, tinged with heartache:

"Many of you graduated from the Shrek Academy! Have you all forgotten the spirit of Shrek? Have you forgotten the belief that the academy taught you: 'Never give up, uphold Justice '?"

However, only silence responded to her.

The War God Temple Battle Armor Master in the sky remained expressionless, their Battle Armor gleaming coldly, showing no sign of wavering.

The hovering Mecha slowly turned their cannons, the dark muzzles precisely aimed at Long Yeyue and her group. The cold metal instruments silently declared their stance—to block them, and never to back down.

"Okay, okay!"

Long Yeyue uttered three "good"s in a row, her aged face revealing obvious anger, her wrinkles taut with emotion. "It's truly a case of everyone kicking someone when they're down! I never imagined that our Shrek Academy's 20,000-year-old heritage would produce such ungrateful wretches!"

"Have you forgotten who has been protecting the peace of the Douluo Continent for the past 20,000 years? Who stepped forward when the Soul Master World was in peril?"

Her voice grew increasingly impassioned, echoing throughout the entire Stadium: "Without Shrek Academy, there would be no stable situation in the Soul Master World today! Twenty thousand years ago, if it weren't for the valiant resistance of Shrek's ancestors, the Soul Master World would have long since become slaves of the Spirit Hall!"

"Later, when the Sun Moon Continent invaded, if it weren't for the joint efforts of Shrek and Tang Sect, the heritage of the Douluo Continent would have been completely Erosion Element foreign forces long ago! It was Shrek and Tang Sect who preserved this tradition with their blood and strength."

"It is Shrek City that has maintained the balance of the continent through countless turbulent years! More than a third of the people in your War God Temple are graduates of the Shrek Academy. Has the glory that belongs to Shrek in your hearts been eaten by dogs long ago?!"

These words were firm and resounding, but the Mecha Master in the air remained silent. They kept their Mecha firmly planted in place, their cannons always pointed downwards.

The three Divine-level Mecha turned the energy cannons to their brightest setting, with pale purple energy gathering at the muzzle, their intimidating presence unmistakable.

Upon seeing this scene, Long Yeyue, who was giving a passionate speech, turned pale and then flushed.

She had originally thought that Shrek's glory could awaken the conscience of some members of the War God Temple, but the scene before her made her feel like Clown standing in the center of a stage, all her words becoming a useless monologue.

She snorted coldly, suppressing the humiliation in her heart, her voice carrying an undeniable force. "Now, we're leaving here—everyone from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, come with me! I want to see who dares to stop us today!"

Long Yeyue's confidence did not come from nowhere. She knew that the Ming Capital Grand Stadium was located in the city center and was surrounded by a large number of ordinary people. No matter how tough the War God Temple was, it would never dare to open fire in such a place.

So she straightened her back, raised her head again, and prepared to lead everyone to break through the blockade as a victor.

"Why are you doing this?" Just then, Youyou sigh rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall and imposing figure slowly descending from the sky, landing not far in front of Long Yeyue.

He was tall and imposing, with an aura as deep and unfathomable as a prison; he was none other than Chen Xinjie, the War God Temple Master and the Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie.

"You want to stop me?" Long Yeyue looked up at him, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

Chen Xinjie slowly shook his head, his gaze filled with a complex emotion. "We're all practically on our deathbeds, why should we cause more people to suffer because of these disputes?"

"If you don't want to stop me, then get out of my way!" Long Yeyue said ruthlessly, her tone icy cold. Everyone present was stunned—everyone knew that Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, was known for his domineering and unyielding nature, and held an extremely high position within the Federation; no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. But surprisingly, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Chen Xinjie actually took a step back, making way for her.

"Brother Chen! You mustn't!" Qiangu Dieting from the Spirit Pagoda's side hurriedly spoke, his tone full of urgency, "If we let them leave, the Spirit Pagoda's plans with the Federation..."

Chen Xinjie glanced coldly at Qiangu Dieting, his voice carrying an undeniable authority. "More than a third of the members of the War God Temple graduated from the Shrek Academy. Do you want me to force them to attack their alma mater and incur the wrath of the masses? Or do you want to start a war here and make the people of Ming Capital pay for your ambitions?"

Qiangu Dieting was taken aback by these words. He opened his mouth, but could no longer utter a rebuttal.

Chen Xinjie ignored him, raised his head, and glanced at the War God Temple Mecha and Battle Armor Master in the air. He said in a deep voice, "Let them go." With that, he waved his hand in the air, signaling for them to leave.

However, the War God Temple Mecha in the air remained motionless, maintaining its blockade posture, its cold cannons always pointed downwards.

Chen Xinjie's face instantly turned ugly. He raised his voice and roared angrily, "What? Are you trying to rebel? I, as the War God Temple Master, order you to get out of the way immediately!"

"..." Silence remained in response.

The Mecha's sensors flashed with mechanical light, as if silently defying the temple lord's orders.

Just as the atmosphere reached another impasse, a clear and authoritative female voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence. "Palace Master, there's no need to make things difficult for them. They were merely following orders."

"Click! Click!"

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the Stadium, each step seeming to tread on the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fu Xuan slowly walking out from the Presidium. She was wearing a purple dress and gold Cloud Shoes- patterned high heels that made a rhythmic sound on the ground, which contrasted sharply with the tense atmosphere around her.

"It's her, Yu Guanzhi's granddaughter."

Chen Xinjie's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly recognized the newcomer's identity.

He immediately stepped forward, his tone laced with a hint of reprimand. "Nonsense! This is the center of Ming Capital. Do you want to start a war here and have countless innocent civilians die with it? Get them out of the way!"

Fu Xuan glanced at Chen Xinjie, seemingly oblivious to the palace master's anger and the warning in his words.

She slowly raised her hand, flipped her palm, and a golden token appeared in her hand.

The front of the token is engraved with a blazing sun, while the back is inscribed with a crescent moon. The intertwined sun Sun Moon patterns exude an awe-inspiring aura of authority—this is the supreme command token of the Federation Central Legion, symbolizing absolute power over the Federation's military forces.

Fu Xuan raised the token, his voice carrying throughout the entire Stadium through his Soul Power, each word clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"All members of the War God Temple, heed my command! The traitorous organizations Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have instigated disturbances, intending to disrupt the social order of the Federation and undermine the stability of the continent! In my capacity as the next Central Legion Commander, I order you to seize them all without fail!"

After speaking, she turned her gaze to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy members, her tone carrying an undeniable warning:

"If you obediently surrender and accept the punishment of Federal Law, I can apply to the Federation for leniency; but if you insist on resisting, your crime will be compounded!"

"Even if you manage to escape today, you will become the Federation's most wanted criminals in the future, never to have a peaceful life! I hope you can think rationally about which is more important."

However, Fu Xuan's threat had no effect whatsoever.

The Battle Armor Master of the Tang Sect and Shrek stood tall and firm behind Long Yeyue, their backs straight. Since they dared to stand up, they were naturally mentally prepared.

"What a sharp-tongued little girl!"

Long Yeyue slammed her cane heavily on the ground, making a dull thud, and a mocking smile appeared on her aged face.

"You weren't even born when Shrek Academy was fighting tooth and nail to protect the peace of the continent! Do you think you can sway our beliefs with these sweet words?"

Her voice grew increasingly passionate, carrying a power that pierced the heart:

"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext! Shrek Academy never causes trouble, but we are absolutely not afraid of it! Since the Federation has chosen to collude with the Spirit Pagoda and suppress Justice, don't blame Shrek Academy rising up in resistance!"

"Little Monster!"

Long Yeyue whirled around, her eyes blazing with fervent light as she looked at the Shrek students behind her. "Today, we'll show these people what Shrek's Monster are! The glory of the Shrek Academy will not be allowed to be smeared by anyone! For Shrek!"

"For Shrek!"

"For Shrek!"

"For Shrek!" Hundreds of Battle Armor Master shouted in unison, their voices echoing like thunder in the Stadium, shaking dust from the roof.

"Kuao noise!"

Fu Xuan's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. The purple Dharma Eye on her forehead suddenly lit up, a talent skill belonging to the Imperial Divine Beast.

"Smack!"

Without any warning, a crisp slap suddenly rang out, instantly drowning out all the shouts.

All eyes were focused on Long Yeyue's right cheek—where an incredibly glaring red handprint was rapidly appearing, so clear it seemed to be branded into her skin.

Chen Xinjie was stunned, Cao Dezhi was stunned, Battle Armor Master from the Tang Sect and Shrek stopped shouting; even the group from the Spirit Pagoda on the opposite side was stunned.

Long Yeyue herself was stunned. She stood there blankly until a burning pain shot through her face, and only then did she slowly come to her senses—she, Long Yeyue, Venerable Elders of the Shrek Academy, had actually been slapped in the face in front of everyone!

It's you!

Long Yeyue's gaze was like a poisoned blade, fixed on Fu Xuan. Her aged voice, sharp and piercing with extreme anger, was forced out with every word as if squeezed from between her teeth. "It was you, you little brat, who did this, wasn't it!"

Although I didn't see what happened, the most suspicious person at the scene is this pink-haired girl in front of me!

Anger erupted in her heart like a volcano. Long Yeyue didn't even bother to think deeply about how Fu Xuan, who was at least ten feet away from her, managed to slap her right under the noses of Chen Xinjie and Cao Dezhi, two Quasi-God.

"Hold head high--"

The Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul appeared. At this moment, Long Yeyue had only one thought in her mind—to tear apart the Provoker in front of her and regain the dignity that belonged to the elders of Shrek Academy!

As for the chain reaction that would be triggered after she took action, and how many innocent people would be put in danger, she had long since forgotten about it.

"Old hag, you want to attack a guest of the Spirit Pagoda? Do you think I'm dead?!"

Just as the oppressive aura of the Radiant Sacred Dragon was about to engulf Fu Xuan, Qiangu Dieting's cold snort suddenly rang out. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Coiling Dragon Staff materialized. The dragon patterns carved on the staff seemed to come alive, emitting a deep hum with his movements.

With a flick of his wrist, Qiangu Dieting unleashed the Coiling Dragon Staff, which swept out with a whooshing sound. The fierce wind aimed directly at Long Yeyue's face, forcefully blocking the oppressive aura of the Radiant Sacred Dragon.

"Clang!"

Long Yeyue reacted extremely quickly, instantly raising her cane in front of her to block the impact, colliding heavily with the Coiling Dragon Staff. The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and the two powerful Soul Power collided, forming a visible energy ripple that spread outwards.

Seeing that Long Yeyue was entangled in a fierce battle, the Emotionless Douluo Cao Dezhi immediately went to his aid.

However, a chilling aura suddenly swept in from the side. He instinctively dodged to the side, only to see a Purgatory Halberd burning with black flames graz his shoulder, the flames at the tip scorching and Distortion the air.

Cao Dezhi looked up and saw Qiangu Qingfeng standing not far away, holding the Purgatory Halberd, a cold smile on his face, "Cao Dezhi, your opponent is me!"

At the same time, Qiangu Dongfeng also moved. He flashed and stood in front of the Affectionate Douluo Zang Xin, the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand emitting bursts of dragon roars.

Ya Li wanted to provide support, but she was locked onto by Xia Zhengleng on the other side and dared not make any rash moves.

"Kill!!!"

The atmosphere at the scene exploded as Long Yeyue and Qiangu Dieting clashed.

The Battle Armor Master from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy could no longer contain themselves and unleashed their Soul Power, causing their Battle Armor to shine with dazzling light.

More than 500 experts, all at least Two-word Battle Armor Master, attacked simultaneously. Their overwhelming aura swept across the entire arena like a tsunami, and the scattered energy fluctuations even caused the space in the Stadium to subtly Distortion, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

The War God Temple Mecha in the air reacted immediately, their energy cannons flashing with blinding light.

"It's over... they've really started fighting!"

The ordinary people in the stands watched the scene unfold before them, their faces drained of color, and despair overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.

Chen Xinjie's face turned extremely grim as he watched the impending melee unfold. He wanted to stop it, but he didn't know which side to help.

Is this what you wanted to see?

Chen Xinjie abruptly turned to look at Fu Xuan, his voice filled with suppressed anger, "There are tens of thousands of ordinary people inside the Ming Capital Grand Stadium. If there are mass casualties, even if you are Yu Guanzhi's granddaughter, you cannot escape responsibility! Federation law and the justice of the continent will not let you off the hook!"

However, Fu Xuan merely glanced at him indifferently, his tone calm and utterly unwavering. "That's none of the Vast Sea Douluo's concern. Since I dared to plan this operation, I am naturally absolutely certain that no innocent bystanders will be affected."

After she finished speaking, she slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on the Dome of the Stadium, and her voice suddenly rose. "Grandpa, it's time to make your move."

"What?" Chen Xinjie's pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.

He followed Fu Xuan's gaze to the sky, and saw that the Dome, which had been covered by the Mecha, suddenly rippled with a strange light—not the light of colliding Soul Power, but a strange luster as if space itself was being Distortion.

The next second, a powerful and majestic voice came from the sky, resounding throughout the entire Ming Capital like thunder. "Good! Mountain River State Chart, open!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As the sound faded, the sky above the Stadium suddenly began to Distortion violently, like a giant canvas being torn up by a gale, constantly folding and unfolding.

The howling wind came from high above, carrying an indescribable suction force that made everyone present feel a chill.

The Spectator in the stands looked up in horror, only to see the faint phantom images of the Mountain River, River, the sun, the Sun Moon, and stars emerging in the Distortion sky, as if a magnificent painting had come to life and was slowly unfolding.

"That's Divine Artifact, the Mountain River State Chart!" Chen Xinjie stared at the scroll in the air, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. As the War God Temple Master, he had seen records of this Divine Artifact in ancient books.

Mountain River State Chart!

The Yu Family's top-tier Divine Artifact, passed down for thousands of years, can seal enemies within a painting. The painting itself forms a small, illusory plane, and the holder can manipulate the elements within to launch a devastating attack on the sealed individual.

He never expected that Yu Guanzhi would suddenly appear here and even use such a powerful Divine Artifact!

Just as Chen Xinjie was surprised, a huge suction force burst out from the painting high in the sky.

The Tang Sect and Shrek Battle Armor Master, who were preparing to fight the Mecha, were the first to feel the suction force—their Soul Power seemed to be forcibly pulled, their Battle Armor's flight function instantly failed, and their bodies flew uncontrollably into the sky.

"Ah!!!"

Terrified screams rose and fell.

A Shrek- Two-word Battle Armor Master desperately activated the flight ability of his Battle Armor, trying to break free from the suction force, only to find that the energy of the Battle Armor was instantly absorbed the moment it came into contact with the illusory image of the scroll.

He watched helplessly as he rose further and further from the ground, drawing ever closer to that horrifying painting, his eyes filled with despair.

What's even more shocking is that this suction force seems to possess the most precise "consciousness," affecting only the members of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

The War God Temple Battle Armor Master and the Spirit Pagoda expert, who were right next to each other, were completely unaffected. They could even clearly see the disheveled appearance of the person opposite them being forcibly pulled.

In just a few breaths, more than five hundred powerful warriors, at least Two-word Battle Armor Master, were completely controlled by this suction force.

Some tried to unleash their Spirit Skill to resist, while others pulled at each other in an attempt to support one another, but they were all like moths drawn to a flame, firmly locked in by the pull of the painting.

In the end, no one could break free—five hundred figures, like kites with broken strings, were sucked one after another into the Mountain River State Chart high in the sky, disappearing into the illusory image of the Mountain River.

If you look out from outside the Ming Capital Grand Stadium, you can see a breathtaking sight: a huge scroll covering half the sky is suspended above the Stadium, with light and shadow flowing in the scroll, and figures are constantly being sucked into it, like prey being devoured by a giant beast.

Beneath the painting, the Stadium's silhouette appears exceptionally small in the setting sun, as if it might be completely enveloped by this Divine Artifact scroll at any moment.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Yu Guanzhi's figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the scroll, his voice carrying through his Soul Power to the area below. "Today's events were merely a surprise attack by the War God Temple against the traitorous organizations Tang Sect and Shrek Academy."

"Unrelated civilians need not panic. As long as they remain calm, they can leave in an orderly manner after the operation is over. I, Yu Guanzhi, in my capacity as the Central Legion Commander, guarantee that no one will be injured as a result!"

He paused, then turned his gaze to the members of the War God Temple below, his tone suddenly becoming stern. "Temporary members of the War God Temple, listen to my command! Immediately maintain order at the scene, seal off all entrances and exits, and strictly prohibit anyone from leaving without authorization! Anyone who attempts to disrupt order or incite the crowd will be executed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Guanzhi's figure seemed to merge into the water, slowly disappearing into the Mountain River State Chart and vanishing from sight.

Everyone knew that even with the use of Divine Artifact, completely eliminating five hundred powerful warriors at the level of Two-word Battle Armor Master would be no easy task— Yu Guanzhi had to personally enter the painting's dimension to ensure absolute success.

The Stadium fell into a deathly silence. The fierce battle had vanished without a trace, leaving only the messy traces of the fight on the ground and the still-floating Mountain River State Chart in the sky.

The Spectator in the stands looked at each other, their faces filled with relief at surviving the ordeal. They had witnessed the annihilation of five hundred top experts, seen the terror of the Divine Artifact, and knew that this turmoil would not end there.

Long Yeyue and the others, who were locked in a fierce battle with Qiangu Dieting, suddenly changed their expressions, realizing that the situation seemed to be truly dire.

(PS: The Star Luo Empire has a legendary Divine Artifact: the Diamond Ring, so it's reasonable for the Yu Family to have the Mountain River State Chart.)
