"Whoosh!!!"
Accompanied by the roar of its raging thrusters.
The Vanguard Titan became a dark-golden meteor, carrying the overwhelming pressure of a Limit Quasi-God.
It hurtled straight toward the Spirit Pagoda's tottering entrance, landing with brutal force!
"BOOM!"
Its heavy steel foot mercilessly crushed the crystal doors on the Spirit Pagoda's ground floor, a symbol of supreme power.
This holy land had once stood high above the world, revered by countless Soul Masters.
But now, under the lingering force of the Level 12 God-Slaying Cannon and the pressure of a Limit Quasi-God, it had become a desolate ruin, utterly silent.
Inside the hall, the high-ranking Soul Masters and Spirit Envoys who had been guarding the place lay sprawled across the floor.
They hadn't even had time to summon their Martial Souls before the terrifying aftershock, which had pierced the divine power shield, knocked them unconscious.
"Beep... beep..."
The mecha's detection radar gave a crisp alert.
[Ironclad, target location locked.] [At a depth of nine hundred meters beneath the Spirit Pagoda, within the core energy sealing array, an extremely high-purity draconic life signature has been detected!]
"Finally found you."
Luo Feng sat in the cockpit, the corner of his mouth curling into an amused smile.
"Big Black Bug, and you two as well, come out. Go see the master you've been longing for."
At Luo Feng's command, the armor over the Vanguard Titan's chest slowly opened.
Di Tian's miniature black dragon phantom, along with Zi JI and Bi Ji, now dressed in gorgeous maid outfits.
They drifted respectfully out of the mecha and followed behind Luo Feng.
With a mere thought from Luo Feng, the Vanguard Titan activated its spatial leap.
"Whoosh!"
One person, one mecha, and three great Ferocious Beasts instantly bypassed the Spirit Pagoda's many layers of physical defenses.
They arrived directly at the deepest point, nine hundred meters underground!
This was a vast underground altar, built entirely from Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and Deep Sea Sinking Silver.
At the very center of the altar floated an exquisite, transparent crystal hibernation pod.
A young woman lay asleep inside.
Her long silver hair, brilliant as the galaxy, spilled loosely down her back.
Her skin was fair as snow, and her delicate features seemed too perfect for this world. She radiated a peerless, icy nobility that could make all things pale in comparison.
Even in her current state, sealed away in slumber.
The supreme bloodline pressure unique to the Silver Dragon King, which placed her above every Soul Beast on Douluo Planet, still flowed faintly through the air.
Peerlessly beautiful, the Silver Dragon Princess—Gu Yuena!
Perhaps she had sensed the familiar presence of her own kind, or perhaps she had been disturbed by the Vanguard Titan's terrifying roar.
The young woman's long eyelashes trembled slightly inside the hibernation pod.
Then those eyes, deep and captivating as amethyst, holding the entire starry sky within them, slowly opened.
The instant Gu Yuena opened her eyes, the temperature of the entire underground altar seemed to plummet by more than ten degrees.
But when her gaze, usually as cool and still as a secluded well, took in the scene before the altar, it froze!
"Di Tian? Zi JI? Bi Ji? How... how are you here?"
Gu Yuena's voice, as beautiful as a heavenly melody yet extremely weak, echoed through the underground space.
She could hardly believe her eyes.
The Star Dou Great Forest's most powerful forces, her most loyal subordinates, were all gathered in the underground prison of the Spirit Pagoda?
And all three of them were standing respectfully behind a human youth?!
"Master..."
Seeing Gu Yuena's frail state, Di Tian, Zi JI, and Bi Ji instantly reddened around the eyes and dropped to one knee in front of the crystal pod.
"Your subordinates were too late to rescue you, Master. We've let you suffer!"
"Di Tian, what is going on? And who is this human?"
Gu Yuena stared fixedly at Luo Feng, who stood with his hands in his pockets, looking utterly carefree.
The instincts of the Silver Dragon King told her that this man was extremely dangerous—so dangerous that he might even surpass a deity!
"Enough. Let's leave the tearful master-and-servant reunion there for now."
Luo Feng casually snapped his fingers, and an invisible force of a Limit Quasi-God surged out.
"Crack!"
The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Essence Crystal Cabin that imprisoned Gu Yuena, said to be unbreakable even by a Super Douluo.
It shattered like a bubble before Luo Feng's power!
Gu Yuena's exquisite body lost its support and slumped forward.
Luo Feng naturally reached out and caught the slender waist of the Silver Dragon King, lifting her into his arms with force.
"Come on, my Silver Dragon King. There's a grand spectacle waiting for you outside."
"Voom!"
With a thought from Luo Feng, the Vanguard Titan behind him erupted in dazzling blue light, and the laws of space sprang into action.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng was holding Gu Yuena.
Along with Di Tian and the other two Ferocious Beasts, he teleported straight from the altar nine hundred meters underground to the ruined plaza outside the Spirit Pagoda!
At that moment, a large crowd of Soul Master forces from all sides still gathered around the plaza, reluctant to leave.
When they saw the "big brother" who had piloted a mecha like a god and smashed the Spirit Pagoda now appear with the Silver Dragon Princess in his arms, holding her with domineering ease.
The entire crowd erupted in astonished cries!
"Oh my heavens! It's Gu Yuena! That young master rescued her!"
But just as Luo Feng was basking in the thrill of playing the overbearing villain.
"Luo Feng!!! Let her go!!!"
A furious roar, as if it could tear the entire sky apart, suddenly rang out from the edge of the crowd!
The next moment, a figure wreathed in raging golden flames of blood and energy.
Like a rampaging primordial beast, he brutally shoved through the crowd, fixing his gaze on Luo Feng at the center of the ruins!
It was Tang Wulin!
Tang Wulin's eyes were blood-red, and fine golden dragon scales had appeared deep within them.
The Sea God Trident in his hand radiated dazzling, sacred blue light.
The world-destroying, violent aura of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline burst forth without restraint, like a volcano erupting!
Behind him, the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils wore grave expressions. They summoned their Martial Souls and prepared for battle.
"Wulin..."
Seeing Tang Wulin risking everything for her.
Gu Yuena, held in Luo Feng's arms, trembled violently. A flash of anguish and inner conflict crossed her purple eyes.
"Well, if it isn't the Tang Sect Master from Shrek Academy?"
Luo Feng didn't let Gu Yuena go. Instead, he looked down at the furious Tang Wulin, deliberately provoking him.
"What?
You didn't show up when I smashed the Spirit Pagoda, but now that I've rescued the Silver Dragon Princess, you've come running out to steal the credit?"
"Luo Feng! Stop slandering me!"
Tang Wulin gripped the Sea God Trident tightly, his knuckles white from the strain.
"Gu Yue isn't some spoils of war! Let her go right now!
"Otherwise, even if I have to give my life today, I won't let you take her away!"
"I challenge you! For Gu Yue, I challenge you!"
Hearing those words, Luo Feng didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled with delight.
"Fine. I accept your challenge!"
He had been coveting the Golden Dragon King Core inside Tang Wulin for a long time.
But he couldn't openly seize it by force.
He never expected the opportunity to come knocking all on its own!
