Shrek's Sea God Pavilion Gets Hung Up and Beaten by Star Dou's Ferocious Beasts!

The rain grew ever more violent, pea-sized drops smashing against the energy barriers of both sides and bursting into sprays of fine water.

The battlefield in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest had long since become a complete mess. Broken ancient trees lay strewn across the ground, while the earth ripped apart by energy shockwaves exposed dark brown soil mixed with rainwater and blood, giving off a pungent, sickly-sweet stench.

Mu En was forced back again and again by Di Tian's Black Dragon Flame.

Though he was a Limit Douluo, Di Tian's strength surpassed that of a Limit Douluo. He was, without question, the true strongest being on the Douluo Continent.

"Your power is far weaker than it was back then."

Di Tian's enormous dragon claw swept across, carrying a fierce gale that tore through space. His voice was filled with icy mockery. "Those are wounds you received when you fought Du Bisi, that old ghost, to the death, aren't they? For the mighty Dragon God Douluo to fall to such a state... how pathetic."

Mu En gritted his teeth and forcibly twisted his body aside to evade the dragon claw. However, the wind from the claw struck the light wings on his back, instantly tearing a long gash through them. Golden blood splattered out, falling into the mud before the rain quickly washed it away.

"Shut up!" he roared, gathering the Soul Power within his body and turning it into a golden dragon breath that he spat toward Di Tian.

Di Tian merely sneered and took the attack head-on without the slightest concern.

With a deafening boom, the powers of light and darkness collided, sending ripples of force spreading outward.

Black Dragon Annihilation!

A moment later, Di Tian's eyes narrowed as the darkness within him surged violently.

Mu En was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing viciously into a thousand-year-old tree and smashing its trunk to pieces. He struggled to rise, only to find every bone in his body screaming in pain. His Soul Power churned within him like raging waves, impossible to gather.

"Did you really think that breaking through to Limit Douluo would allow you to contend with me?"

Di Tian slowly approached, contempt gleaming in his golden vertical pupils. "Leaving aside the fact that your Bright Holy Dragon cannot suppress me at all, your old wounds have dragged your strength down by a great deal. What makes you think you can fight me?"

Mu En coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his vision began to blur. He knew Di Tian was telling the truth. In that battle against Du Bisi, the Body Sect's leader, he had ultimately won, but his foundations had also been damaged. As a result, even as a rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo, he normally had to walk with his back bent.

As for their attributes, the Bright Holy Dragon was indeed not ultimate light. While it could avoid being suppressed, it could not possibly suppress Di Tian's ultimate darkness.

He raised his head and looked at Di Tian's terrifying dragon head covered in black scales, a trace of determination flashing through his eyes.

"Still refusing to see reason!" Di Tian roared, gathering Black Dragon Flame once more. This blaze was far more intense than before; he clearly intended to finish Mu En completely.

At that critical moment, Xuan Zi suddenly lunged in from the side. His massive body, transformed through Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul Possession, shielded Mu En and took Di Tian's attack head-on.

Boom!

Xuan Zi let out a muffled grunt. His enormous body was blasted backward by the Black Dragon Flame, the fur on his chest scorched black as blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Yet he still forced himself to shout, "Elder Mu! Go!"

Seeing Xuan Zi so badly wounded, Mu En felt a stab of pain in his heart. He knew they were doomed to lose this battle today.

Elsewhere, Xiong Jun was toying with Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er.

"Is that all you've got?"

Xiong Jun's massive Dark Gold Dreadclaw easily tore apart Qian Duoduo's Black Dragon Shield. He scoffed disdainfully. "Rank ninety-four? More like ninety-four pounds of trash!"

Qian Duoduo's face was deathly pale. His Black Dragon Shield was a top-tier defensive Martial Soul, and with the carefully crafted Soul Tools he wielded, even a rank ninety-five assault-type Douluo would struggle to break through it. Yet before Xiong Jun, his defenses were as flimsy as paper. Every collision left his arms numb and drained enormous amounts of Soul Power.

As expected of the number one bear on the Douluo Continent. With that kind of attack power, he was probably close to a Limit Douluo.

"Qian Duoduo!" Xian Lin'er cried anxiously at the sight. Transformed through Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul Possession, she became a streak of azure lightning, thrusting her spear, wreathed in blazing azure flames, toward Xiong Jun's side.

Azure flame was an ultimate fire created by the violent friction of wind-attributed Soul Power. Its temperature was extremely high and its destructive power immense; ordinary soul beasts would ignite at the slightest touch. Yet Xiong Jun seemed completely unaffected, allowing the azure flames to fall upon his dark golden fur. They merely hissed, unable to burn even a single hair.

"Trying to scratch an itch?" Xiong Jun swung a claw against Xian Lin'er's spear. The enormous force instantly knocked it from her hand, sending her flying backward into Qian Duoduo.

"Pfft—"

The two spat out blood at the same time and fell to the ground in a sorry state. Qian Duoduo hurriedly took out several healing Soul Tools, intending to treat Xian Lin'er, only for Xiong Jun to stomp on his chest.

"Don't waste your effort."

Xiong Jun stared at them with crimson eyes, cruel amusement in his voice. "Your Soul Tools are useless against me. Just lie there and die!"

Qian Duoduo clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes filled with unwillingness. He and Xian Lin'er were senior elders of Shrek Academy. Together, they could fight even a rank ninety-six Douluo, yet before Xiong Jun, they did not even have room to strike back. Was this the gap created by absolute strength?

"Xiong Jun! Don't get too arrogant!" Xian Lin'er struggled to rise, but Xiong Jun's foot pinned her down so firmly that she could not move.

"Arrogant?" Xiong Jun burst into laughter. "I have every right to be arrogant! Don't you humans always call yourselves the spirits of all creation? Today, I'll show you that before absolute power, you are nothing!"

As he spoke, his Dark Gold Dreadclaw rose again. He clearly intended to deliver the killing blow.

"Stop!"

An angry shout rang out as Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er attacked Xiong Jun, trying to rescue Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er. However, they themselves were tightly entangled by Zi Ji and had no chance to spare any attention elsewhere.

Zi Ji transformed into a streak of purple lightning. The pressure of the Hell Demon Dragon King made both Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er feel their hearts tremble. Her speed was extraordinary, far surpassing that of ordinary agility-type Douluo, and the two could not keep up with her rhythm at all.

"Bright Phoenix? Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear?"

Zi Ji's voice carried a hint of amusement. "They sound impressive enough. Too bad their users are far too weak."

Yan Shaozhe's Bright Phoenix Martial Soul was a top-tier Beast Spirit, and its light attribute possessed an extremely strong restraining effect against evil entities. Cai Mei'er's Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear was a Martial Soul specifically meant to counter the Dragon Clan. When the spear moved, it was like a dragon, carrying an aura that broke evil and destroyed filth.

Yet Zi Ji was a pure-blooded true dragon, and the bloodline of the Hell Demon Dragon King was incomparably noble. The restraining effects of their Martial Souls had little effect on her.

Yan Shaozhe roared as the phoenix wings on his back spread wide, countless golden feathers shooting toward Zi Ji like sharp arrows.

Evil-Breaking Dragon Spear! Cai Mei'er attacked at the same time. The spear in her hand transformed into a golden dragon and charged directly at Zi Ji with unstoppable momentum.

Zi Ji snorted coldly, and her figure flickered. In an instant, she appeared behind the two.

The next moment, she returned to her true form. Her enormous tail swept out like a steel whip, striking heavily across their backs.

"Ah!"

The two cried out miserably and fell forward together, blood spraying from their mouths. Several feathers were torn from Yan Shaozhe's phoenix wings, while Cai Mei'er's spear nearly slipped from her hand.

"With just that much skill, you want to save others?" Zi Ji floated before them, her purple eyes full of mockery. "You should worry about yourselves first!"

As she spoke, she transformed into a streak of purple lightning once more and attacked them. Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er exchanged a glance, both seeing solemnity and helplessness in the other's eyes. They knew that if this continued, Zi Ji would wear them to death sooner or later.
