Return to the Past!

"Di Tian! You have chosen the path of death!"

A streak of golden light tore across the sky, instantly flooding heaven and earth with a golden radiance.

Di Tian's enormous purple dragon claw, large enough to blot out the sky, shattered instantly before that golden light.

When the golden glow faded, a tall figure stood suspended in the air above Sea God Island.

Long blue hair fluttered in the wind. He wore magnificent blue-and-gold robes, while peculiar halos circled behind him, emanating a sacred and imposing aura.

It was none other than Tang San!

And this time, it was no longer a divine-sense avatar, but his true body descending to the lower realm.

With God King Level strength, every gesture he made carried a heaven-shaking pressure.

Tang San glared at Di Tian with a grim expression, his voice icy.

"I never thought you would dare ignore my warning and attack Shrek."

The corners of Di Tian's mouth curled upward slightly, and a triumphant smile flashed through his eyes.

"I never thought that, for the sake of Shrek, you would truly ignore the God Realm's rules and descend to the lower realm."

After a brief pause, he tested the waters.

"I imagine that my noble Lord Sea God must have paid a tremendous price for this, yes?"

"Could Shrek possibly possess some treasure so precious that even an exalted God King would covet it?"

Tang San's expression shifted slightly at Di Tian's words, but he immediately returned to normal.

His ten-thousand-year plan could not be exposed. He could not let such a petty provocation affect him.

"Hmph!"

Tang San shouted, raising the Sea God Trident in his hand and pointing it directly at Di Tian.

This time, he had descended alone and had not brought the Asura God Scabbard, Xiao Wu. Thus, apart from the power of the Sea God Godhood, he could only summon a portion of the God King Level power from the Asura God Godhood.

Still, even just a portion of the Asura God's power, added to the Sea God Godhood, was enough to unleash a brief God King Level attack.

In his eyes, that was more than enough to deal with a soul beast possessing the strength of a First-Level God like Di Tian!

"Di Tian! Since you seek death, I will show you that even among gods, there are differences in power!"

Before his words had faded, dark clouds churned through the heavens and formed an enormous vortex.

A gigantic Sea God Trident slowly emerged from the vortex, its entire body gleaming with golden light.

Empowered by the Asura God's divine power, it carried the pressure of a God King, making heaven and earth change color.

The waters of Sea God Lake were lifted into waves several meters high, crashing against the shore with deafening force.

This should have reached the God King Level already, shouldn't it?

As Di Tian watched the enormous Sea God Trident, he thought to himself. Yet there was not the slightest fear in his golden dragon eyes.

Under the crushing pressure of a God King, Di Tian, who possessed only the strength of a First-Level God, felt tearing pain throughout his body, as though every inch of his skin were being ripped apart by an invisible force.

Yet in his eyes was a smile that he could barely suppress.

Then, he put on a solemn expression, pointed at Tang San and the Sea God Trident in the sky, and declared loudly,

"In that case, let me see what you, a God King, are capable of!"

As he spoke, purple Soul Power erupted from his body. It surged forth like an erupting volcano, covering the entirety of Sea God Lake!

Under the influence of that terrifying Soul Power, the waters of Sea God Lake evaporated at a visible rate. White vapor shot into the heavens, shrouding the entire sky in a hazy mist.

In some of the shallower areas, the dried lakebed was exposed within mere seconds.

A vast amount of purple Soul Power gathered in midair, gradually condensing into an enormous Dragon Head.

The Dragon Head looked lifelike. It raised its head to the sky and let out an earth-shaking dragon roar.

"ROAR!"

The Dragon Head roared, opening its massive jaws and biting viciously toward Tang San!

"Good! Today, I will wash away the humiliation of the past!"

Tang San's eyes widened with fury as golden divine power surged madly around him.

"Hah!"

With a sweep of Tang San's hand, the enormous Sea God Trident in the sky moved at once, plunging straight down at the Dragon Head!

BOOM!!!

The tremendous collision resounded through the clouds, shaking even the earth.

Golden divine power and purple Soul Power clashed frantically in the air, eroding and devouring one another as they burst forth in blinding light.

The commotion was so immense that even the soul masters and soul beasts battling at the gates of Shrek City stopped fighting.

Everyone stared fixedly in the direction of the Sea God Pavilion in the Inner Court.

In the sky, an enormous Dragon Head and a golden trident wrestled continuously. Their Soul Powers madly eroded one another, neither side willing to give an inch.

"What is happening?!"

Before Yan Shaozhe could finish speaking, a visible shockwave swept out from the center of the battle!

The shockwave carried golden and purple light and moved at an astonishing speed. Everything in its path was flattened.

Yan Shaozhe's face changed dramatically. He hurriedly threw himself to the ground, covered his head with both hands, and tried his best to avoid the terrifying aftermath.

Even a Super Douluo like him could only lie prone before the aftermath of this god-level battle, utterly powerless to resist.

Meanwhile, at the center of Di Tian and Tang San's clash, half of Shrek Academy had been completely destroyed, reduced to ruins.

The once-glorious foremost academy of the Douluo Continent was now nothing but devastation.

In a corner, Mu En had fled there with the unconscious Xuan Zi when the two sides had first confronted each other.

Now, he stood amid the ruins, his aged body trembling faintly as he looked upon the scene before him.

"What exactly have you protected?!"

Mu En cried out in agony.

When the ancestor Tang San had appeared, he had thought Shrek had been saved.

Yet they had still failed. In fact, half the destruction had been caused by their ancestor Tang San himself!

At the center of the clash, Di Tian's Dragon Head was the first to collapse due to the disparity in their strength.

The purple Soul Power Dragon Head retreated steadily before the golden trident, until it finally exploded and scattered into countless purple motes of light.

Tang San's trident had already arrived before Di Tian and stabbed down fiercely!

Di Tian hurriedly raised his hands in front of himself, gripping the trident's tip tightly between them.

Golden divine power and purple Soul Power collided violently in his palms, producing the sound of metal grinding against metal.

He successfully held the enormous Sea God Trident at a standstill!

Seeing that he had gained the advantage, Tang San immediately mocked him.

"Now you understand the insurmountable gulf between a God King and a First-Level God, don't you?"

He looked down at Di Tian from above, his eyes brimming with smugness.

"If you beg for mercy now, I may overlook your past offenses and allow you to become my mount!"

Tang San spoke smugly.

If he could subdue a god-level black dragon as a mount, he would be even more impressive than Poseidon, the previous Sea God!

But at that moment, Di Tian said something Tang San had not expected.

"Did you truly think that I, the clan leader of the Black Dragon Clan, was some fool who did not understand the difference between a God King and a First-Level God?"

At this point, Di Tian no longer showed even the slightest trace of the difficulty from before. Instead, his face was filled with joy he could no longer suppress.

The corners of his mouth rose high, and his eyes shone with excitement.

Tang San's expression changed drastically.

He focused his gaze.

The thing Di Tian was using to block his Sea God Trident was precisely the divine-sense fragment that Di Tian had taken from him last time!

That golden divine-sense fragment floated in Di Tian's palm, pressed tightly against the tip of the Sea God Trident.

Before Tang San could figure out what Di Tian intended to do, Di Tian had already given him the answer.

"Over the past three months, I comprehended three divine skills through the Dragon Vein. One of them..."

A hint of madness flashed through Di Tian's eyes.

"...was Return to the Past!"
