A domain that does not disperse means a demon that cannot die.
This was by no means an empty boast.
A grotesque feedback loop had formed between Demonic Power and Qian Jue's Soul Power, forcibly turning him into a tireless monster that could never be completely destroyed.
The discovery gave Mu En an immense headache, while Qian Jue's bizarre ability filled him with deep unease.
The only reason he could display the overwhelming might of the Demigod Realm was that he had forcibly drawn upon the Golden Tree's source energy.
For his body, already utterly spent, this state placed an unimaginable strain upon him. He could not sustain it for long.
If the Golden Tree's energy output could not keep up, or his battered body crumbled first, then Shrek would surely be plunged into an abyss of eternal ruin.
That made Mu En desperate to end the fight quickly.
He began burning his soul flame without regard for the cost. His golden dragon claws tore through space as he unleashed even more savage killing moves,
trying to crush Qian Jue and that entire Demon Domain in one fell swoop.
Yet the more anxious Mu En became, the less Qian Jue cooperated.
Facing Mu En's frenzied assault, which seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, Qian Jue abruptly changed tactics.
Rather than meeting him head-on as he had at first, he took advantage of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul's overwhelming speed in the air and began playing an utterly infuriating game of "kite" high above.
Qian Jue's figure darted through the golden light like a black specter.
It seemed that every time he collided fiercely with Mu En, but in truth, those were merely afterimages he had left behind, along with bait formed from Demonic Power.
He was as slippery as an eel, darting away at the slightest touch and refusing to engage Mu En for long.
"Old man, why are you in such a hurry?" Qian Jue's voice came from all directions, as though countless demons were whispering into Mu En's ears,
"How much longer can your Golden Tree hold out?"
Qian Jue's intentions could not have been clearer.
He was wearing down Mu En's strength and the Golden Tree's reserves.
With both a Double Soul Core and the Demon Domain sustaining him, he feared a war of attrition least of all.
He wanted to see just how much longer this Ultimate Douluo, who was burning the last drop of his blood for Shrek, could hold on atop the altar of the Demigod Realm!
In the end, time was cruel.
As the battle dragged on, Mu En gradually felt his strength failing him.
After all, he was far too old, and his body was plagued by chronic ailments.
Even though the Golden Tree's vast vitality had forcibly raised his realm and briefly restored his peak physique, it was ultimately like quenching his thirst with poison.
If his taut nerves slackened even a little, he would face certain death and eternal ruin.
And if he fell, the Shrek Academy behind him, with its legacy of ten thousand years, would surely face true annihilation!
At that thought, Mu En's storm of attacks ground to an abrupt halt.
Throughout the countless clashes and probes, his cloudy yet sharp eyes had already seen through the essence of Qian Jue's bizarre domain.
It seemed that as long as this Dark Domain remained, Qian Jue could draw strength without end and possess the heaven-defying trait of near-immortality.
If that was so...
Mu En drew a deep breath. His stooped body slowly straightened in midair,
and the Golden Tree's light swirling around him erupted like a supernova, blazing with a sacred radiance so dazzling it stung the eyes.
He raised his withered right hand and abruptly clenched it toward the space where Qian Jue stood.
"Vmmm—!"
With a deep, rumbling tremor, the space within tens of thousands of meters let out a strained, anguished wail,
as though an almighty force had welded it shut in an instant, locking everything firmly in place!
As Mu En clenched his hand in the air, the space within tens of thousands of meters seemed to freeze in an instant.
Qian Jue, who had been darting about at high speed in an attempt to keep wearing Mu En down, suddenly came to a halt,
feeling the air around him grow harder than steel, as if he had sunk into an invisible quagmire.
"Since your strength rests on this bizarre domain..."
Mu En's aged voice echoed across heaven and earth. Gone was his earlier impatience; instead, it held the calm resolve of one who had seen through life and death,
"Then this old man will shatter this entire world, along with your domain!"
As his words fell, the phantom of the Golden Tree behind Mu En erupted with a radiance brighter than ever before.
This was no longer a simple borrowing of energy.
Mu En was recklessly drawing upon the Golden Tree's deepest source, while also burning the last of his life and soul!
The dazzling golden light rapidly contracted and condensed. Its pure light element scorched the surrounding Dark Domain with a piercing "hiss." Vast swathes of black mist melted and vanished beneath the golden glow like snow.
A colossal Golden Sacred Dragon, as solid as if it were real, coiled behind Mu En. Its dragon might surged, its holiness inviolable.
"So you're going to force an end to this and decide the victor in one strike?"
Feeling the space around him completely locked down, Qian Jue simply stopped moving.
His expression gradually hardened, replaced by a cold killing intent.
An Ultimate Douluo infinitely close to God Rank, unleashing his ultimate trump card while burning his life, would undoubtedly wield power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"Then have it your way. I'll make you give up for good."
Qian Jue gave a cold snort. His Double Soul Core roared like two engines running beyond their limits.
The Demon Domain that had spread across the sky stopped expanding. Instead, it contracted wildly like a whale sucking in water, gathering entirely upon the six black wings of his Fallen Angel behind him.
The ink-black Demonic Power and the Fallen Angel's ultimate darkness fused perfectly, rapidly compressing and condensing in his palm,
until at last they formed a colossal sword of destruction wreathed in clinging black flames.
One gold, one black: two terrifying auras, representing the pinnacle of power across the Douluo Continent, locked onto each other completely.
The pressure over all of Shrek Academy plunged to freezing in an instant. It was so oppressive that no one could breathe, as though the sky would be torn in two by these two forces the very next moment.
"Dragon Emperor's Domain Shaker!"
At Mu En's earth-shaking shout, the boundless light element wandering through heaven and earth surged together.
That vast, sacred might became an absolute law, forcibly welding shut the space around Qian Jue and locking him in place.
Golden energy so immense it was suffocating crashed down like a cascading galaxy. Its unstoppable edge tore Qian Jue's unfathomably deep Demon Domain clean in half!
Under the sustained crushing and purifying force of this ultimate light, no matter how quickly Qian Jue's Demonic Power repaired the damage, it could not mend the breach as it collapsed in an instant.
"Damn it!"
