Di Tian vs. Mu En, Tang San Imprisoned

"Di Tian, could you have your army withdraw first?" Mu En's voice was somewhat low. His aged face was full of exhaustion. "Regarding the Auspicious Beast, Shrek will certainly investigate thoroughly, find the culprit, and give you an explanation."

"Ha ha ha—!"

An arrogant, icy laugh suddenly exploded, making even the void tremble. Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze lightning-sharp and filled with disdain.

"Withdraw? Mu En, that sounds nice enough! Is my Star Dou Forest a place where others can bully us at will? The Auspicious Beast's death is the greatest humiliation! You want me to withdraw? Fine—pay for it with your lives!"

A vicious gleam filled Di Tian's eyes, and his voice was piercingly cold. "I'm telling you, it won't be that easy!"

Mu En sighed helplessly at the sight. His previously cloudy eyes instantly became sharp, and a solemn, tragic resolve rose from him.

"Since it has come to this, we can only fight."

"Star Dou, heed my command! Kill!"

With Di Tian's command, terrifying beast roars instantly drowned out everything. Countless soul beasts charged madly toward Shrek City, while Di Tian's body abruptly expanded.

"Roar—!"

A dragon's roar shook heaven and earth. Di Tian directly transformed into an enormous black dragon stretching for hundreds of miles, instantly blotting out the sky. The previously bright heavens dimmed in an instant. It was not the arrival of night, but darkness elemental energy so dense it had reached the extreme, dyeing even the clouds an eerie dark red.

Terrifying dark power poured forth like a tidal wave, spreading in every direction. It was the absolute pressure of the Beast God!

"Open!"

Mu En did not dare be careless. Although his blood and qi churned within him, he still forced up a breath of true qi and instantly activated his Martial Soul Avatar.

A clear dragon roar soared into the heavens. A Radiant Sacred Dragon, pure white from head to tail and surrounded by a holy aura, shot upward and stood against the sky-covering black dragon!

Rumble!

The black and white dragons collided in an instant, and heaven and earth changed color. Yet after only a few exchanges, Mu En was already breathing slightly heavily, his body tilting back.

Clearly, Mu En was no longer at his peak, and his lifespan was nearly exhausted. Facing Di Tian in his prime, he had ultimately fallen into a disadvantage.

"Hmph, old and frail—how can you fight me?!"

Di Tian snorted coldly, his black dragon claw tearing through the void.

Mu En's gaze sharpened. He knew he could not take it head-on. His hands rapidly formed seals as he shouted:

"Dragon Emperor's Evil-Breaking Rend!"

A dazzling white light gathered in Mu En's palm, transforming into an incomparably sharp ray of light, as though it could slice through all darkness in the world. This was a killing strike that gathered all the holy power of the Radiant Sacred Dragon. It specifically countered evil soul masters and evil soul beasts, dispelling evil and revealing righteousness, unstoppable against anything!

"Such a petty trick, and you dare show off before me!"

Di Tian's eyes were full of disdain, but he did not take it head-on. Instead, he opened his mouth and exhaled.

"Myriad Dragon Flame."

In an instant, the void shattered. Three enormous black dragon-head phantoms condensed behind him, each head emitting a terrifying fluctuation that made one suffocate.

Then, all three heads opened their mouths and spewed golden dragon flame!

The golden flames were like a celestial river pouring down, instantly evaporating all moisture in the air. The terrifying heat, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, twisted even space itself. Countless dragon souls roared within the flames, carrying the will to destroy everything as they slammed viciously into the Dragon Emperor's Evil-Breaking Rend.

Boom!!!

A terrifying energy storm swept in all directions. In this clash, Di Tian still held an absolute advantage.

The golden dragon flames forcefully suppressed the aura of light, driving Mu En back again and again.

That was only natural. Di Tian was hailed as the continent's number one being and the foremost Beast God. His strength had long surpassed all living beings of the present age. Even Mu En at his peak could only contend with him, let alone now.

On the other side of the battlefield, the other Sea God Pavilion members were also desperately resisting the beast tide.

Elder Xuan had just swung the Panlong Staff in his hand and smashed a hundred-thousand-year soul beast away, leaving him panting heavily. But he suddenly raised his head and happened to see Mu En being suppressed by Di Tian.

Looking at the sky-covering black dragon in the heavens, Elder Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted. This is bad.

However, in the God Realm, the final judgment had already been handed down.

Within the great hall, divine light was dim. All five God Kings were seated, but only two of them were true God Kings.

Destruction God sat at the head, his gaze cold and stern. His thin lips parted, his tone beyond dispute.

"I propose—confiscating Tang San's God Realm enforcement authority, stripping him of all divine offices and powers, and imprisoning him in the Divine Forbidden Land for a term of—ten years."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked.

Tang San abruptly raised his head, his pupils contracting sharply.

Only then did he realize just how grave his offense was.

Ten years?

One day in the God Realm was one year in the mortal world. Ten years would be three thousand, six hundred and fifty years.

Everything he had painstakingly arranged over hundreds of years on the Douluo Continent—the mortal world's inheritance, the Tang Sect's foundation, Shrek Academy's continuation... Three thousand six hundred years was enough to turn it all to ashes.

"Is it really that serious..." Tang San clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, yet he could not say a single word.

The God of Kindness frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he still spoke. "Destruction, isn't this punishment... a little too severe? Tang San's contributions to the God Realm are obvious to all. Could we perhaps—"

The God of Evil also nodded. "Indeed. Even if he made a mistake, surely his crime does not warrant this."

Destruction God shook his head expressionlessly.

"Kindness, Evil, you do not understand the severity of this matter."

He paused, lowering his voice, which only made it sound more chilling.

"This time, Tang San provoked not someone else—but the Dragon God."

The moment those words were spoken, the God of Kindness and the God of Evil both changed expressions.

The Dragon God.

That was an existence even the five God Kings had to fear. Tang San, a mere Sea God and half-God King, had actually dared provoke such an ancient existence?

"It is already his good fortune that he did not die," Destruction God said indifferently.

At last, Xiao Wu could not endure it any longer. Tears burst from her eyes as she fell to her knees.

"No—Third Brother is innocent! He did nothing wrong! You have judged him wrongly! Please investigate again, I'm begging you..."

Her voice was hoarse and anguished as it echoed through the hall.

Tang San closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Xiao Wu, don't beg them."

The First-Generation Shrek Seven Monsters all lowered their heads, their fists clenched tightly, yet not one of them dared make a sound.

No matter how unwilling they were, they could change nothing. Before the four God Kings, they did not even have the right to speak.

-----------------------------Tang San definitely did not know the history of the God Realm here. To be honest, Destruction God and the God of Life were eager for the Dragon God's return. The rest were newcomers and lacked this common knowledge, especially Tang San.

There was nothing to be done about that. The rule that soul beasts could not become gods was set by the Dragon God. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the God Realm. This was also written according to the Ultimate Douluo setting.
