Spear of Divine Retribution, Evil Soul Master Spoils, Exhibition Match
Bai Yuan stood outside the cave, his eyes sweeping over the sparse figures scattering in all directions.
The Green Skull members were almost entirely wiped out by the twin dragons' thunderous attacks, and the lucky survivors emerged from the ruins, staggering and fleeing in all directions.
They were so terrified that they didn't even have the courage to look back.
Bai Yuan did not pursue.
He simply raised his hand slightly, and dark golden light condensed from his palm, climbing up his arm to between his fingers, slowly extending into a spear with patterns of Destruction encircling its entire body.
The spear's body was pitch black, like the dark hue that had settled deep within chaos, while its tip crackled with fine, golden-red arcs of electricity, as if even space itself trembled slightly before it.
He stood there, holding it, the night wind ruffling his clothes, and a dark golden light emanated from the spear, casting a suffocating, murderous aura over the surrounding dozens of feet.
Then he softly uttered four words, his voice not loud, yet it seemed to descend from some higher realm, piercing through every receding figure:
"Spear of Divine Retribution"
To throw.
A dark golden streak tore through the night, leaving a thin trail of light in the air, like an invisible blade slicing diagonally down from the depths of the sky.
There was no roar, no explosion, only an extreme silence, a solemn stillness as if everything was holding its breath.
The streak of light swept across the wasteland surrounding the ruins, leaving its mark wherever it passed.
One by one, the fleeing figures stopped, froze, and turned to ashes, scattering into the night wind.
A deafening wail echoed across the wilderness for a moment, then abruptly ceased a few breaths later.
The remaining Green Skull members uttered their final cries in despair.
After a while, the wilderness returned to deathly silence.
The Spear of Divine Retribution turned into dust and dissipated into the air, its dark golden embers slowly flowing along the ground, completely cleansing away the last trace of life.
There was no sound of any other living creature breathing.
The Green Skull organization, which had dominated the Star Luo Continent for decades and was considered a thorn in the side of the empire, was wiped out in this desolate mountain shrouded in night.
Bai Yuan fell back to the ground, the embers of the Spear of Divine Retribution extinguished between his fingers.
He glanced at the now completely silent wilderness around him and slowly walked deeper into the Green Skull's lair.
Let's see what surprises await us at the haul.
The Core Flame's perception had already penetrated every inch of the rock wall and soil layer like invisible tentacles.
Before it, all hiding is futile.
He quickly locked onto the direction and headed straight for a seemingly ordinary stone wall at the deepest part of the cave.
A dark golden light emanated from his palm, and the Power of Destruction seeped into the stone wall along its texture.
The restrictive runes shattered the moment they touched that Destruction will, emitting a series of cracking sounds.
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, revealing a spacious stone chamber behind it.
Bai Yuan stood at the entrance, his gaze sweeping over the interior, his golden eyes flashing slightly for a moment.
Boxes upon boxes of high-quality Soul Tool produced by the Tang Sect were neatly arranged on the left side, each one bearing a clear identification number.
The Fixed Soul Cannon Shell shells were stacked up as neatly as an armory.
The Star Luo Empire Coins were piled up into small mountains.
Rare treasures, fine silks and satins, rare medicinal herbs, and refined metals.
"So many!"
"No wonder this organization has been running rampant for decades."
Bai Yuan muttered something to himself.
He glanced at the mountains of wealth.
The Green Skull is merely a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult within the Star Luo Empire.
If the headquarters were to be raided one day, just how full would that vault be?
He shook his head, suppressing the thought for the moment, and continued scanning the interior of the warehouse.
The most precious treasures are displayed on a freestanding stone platform in the very center of the warehouse.
Several Soul Bone were sealed in a transparent soul guide box.
They are in excellent condition, at least ten thousand years old.
But compared to the one he won in the competition, its quality was far inferior.
He took one of the soul bones out, looked at it, and casually put it back in its place; these Soul Bones were of little use to him.
But if you take it back to the Spirit Pagoda, it can be used to reward meritorious subordinates in the future.
"Take it to go."
Bai Yuan raised his hand, and the suction force of the Core Flame suddenly spread from his palm. Under the cover of dark golden light, the supplies in the entire warehouse began to shrink rapidly, turning into streams of light that were sucked into the depths of the Core Flame on his chest.
Coins, Soul Tool, cannonballs, spiritual materials, Soul Bone, and silk.
Everything was incorporated into the Dragon Valley space, forming a sizable "new mountain" next to the Dragon Bone Wasteland.
A few breaths later, the warehouse was empty.
Bai Yuan glanced one last time at the empty stone chamber, making sure nothing was missed, before turning and walking out of the cave.
He flew into the sky, looking down at the lair below that had once been inhabited by countless Evil Soul Masters.
The Power of Destruction sank from his palm, transforming into dark golden flames that enveloped the entire complex.
The rocks crumbled in the flames, the remaining runes shattered in the heat, and all traces turned to ashes in silence.
The smoke and dust rose for a long time before finally dissipating.
Everything that was once named "Green Skull" has been completely erased from this land.
Bai Yuan extinguished the flames and turned to fly towards the hotel.
--
Training Ground of Star Luo Hotel.
The Shrek students were each carrying out their daily training.
Tang Wulin was sparring with Xie Xie, while Yue Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui were exchanging blows on the other side. Ye Xinglan stood alone in a corner, cultivating her Sword Intent, while Xu Lizhi sat on the sidelines, munching on a sesame seed cake and watching.
Then the door to the Training Ground was pushed open.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment when Bai Yuan walked in.
"Big Brother Bai! Where have you been?"
Tang Wulin stopped sparring and took two steps toward him, then stopped as he approached.
His gaze swept over Bai Yuan, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Hmm, your aura..."
Xie Xie also came over, carrying half a training wooden sword, and circled around Bai Yuan:
"Wow, Big Brother Bai, you've broken through?"
"Terrifying!"
Bai Yuan nodded slightly:
"Hmm. I went out to take care of some errands and also broke through a bottleneck while I was at it."
By the way?
Tang Wulin's lips twitched.
Bai Yuan was still at the peak of level 59 when he left, and he remembered the fluctuations in his Soul Power very clearly.
The person standing before me now possessed an aura that was far more refined than before, a typical characteristic of someone who had transcended a major realm.
"Level 60?"
Bai Yuan nodded:
"Just arrived."
The Training Ground was silent for two seconds.
Then Xie Xie suddenly slapped his thigh:
"Holy crap!!! You're Six-Ring Soul Emperor at your age!"
"There probably aren't many left on the mainland, are there?!"
Yue Zhengyu stood in the corner, his training sword hanging at his side, the tips of his ears slightly red.
He listened in silence for a while, then sheathed his sword and turned to walk to the other side of the Training Ground.
"Where are you going?" Xie Xie called out to him.
"Practice swordsmanship. Extra practice."
Yue Zhengyu disappeared through the side gate of the Training Ground without looking back.
Tang Wulin stood in front of Bai Yuan and scratched the back of his head:
"Big Brother Bai... have you been breaking through at this speed all along?"
Bai Yuan thought for a moment:
"It's not exactly fast."
Xie Xie silently took two steps back:
"Stop talking, Big Brother Bai. My heart can't take it."
Bai Yuan looked at everyone and said.
"Let me tell you something. Monster Academy contacted me."
"Would you like to invite Shrek Academy and Monster Academy to a team battle exhibition match at the closing ceremony?"
Do you want to participate?
