As long as the domain remains, the demon does not die.
This was by no means an arrogant, empty boast.
A perverse feedback loop formed between the Demonic Power and the Soul Power of Qian Jue, forcibly turning him into a monster that knew no fatigue and could not be thoroughly destroyed.
This discovery gave Mu En a massive headache, while simultaneously filling him with a deep sense of trepidation regarding Qian Jue's bizarre and extreme ability.
The reason he could display the crushing momentum of the Demigod Realm was entirely built upon the foundation of forcibly drawing from the origin energy of the Golden Tree.
For a body that had long since run dry, this state placed an unimaginably heavy burden upon him; it was simply unsustainable.
Once the energy output of the Golden Tree could no longer keep up, or his own withered frame collapsed first, then the abyss of total destruction would surely await Shrek.
This made Mu En desperate to end the battle quickly.
He began to burn his soul fire without regard for the cost, his golden dragon claws tearing through space and erupting with even more violent killing moves,
attempting to crush Qian Jue and that Demon Domain into oblivion in one fell swoop.
However, the more anxious Mu En became, the less Qian Jue was willing to grant his wish.
Facing Mu En's earth-shattering, frantic onslaught, Qian Jue suddenly changed his tactics.
He no longer engaged in head-on collisions as he had at the start, but instead utilized the absolute speed advantage of his Fallen Angel Martial Soul in the air to play a disgusting game of "kite tactics" high above the firmament.
Qian Jue's figure moved like a black phantom, weaving and wandering through the sky filled with golden light.
It appeared as though he was engaging in fierce collisions with Mu En every time, but in reality, those were merely the afterimages and decoys of Demonic Power he left behind.
He was as slippery as an eel, retreating the moment he made contact, never allowing himself to become overly entangled with Mu En.
"Old man, why are you in such a rush?" Qian Jue's voice came from all directions, as if countless demons were whispering in Mu En's ears,
"How much longer can your Golden Tree hold out?"
Qian Jue's intention could not have been more obvious.
He was forcibly exhausting Mu En's stamina and the foundation of the Golden Tree.
With the dual endurance of his Double Soul Core and the Demon Domain, he feared a war of attrition the least.
He wanted to see just how long this Ultimate Douluo, who was burning his last drop of blood for Shrek, could persist on this altar of the Demigod Realm!
Time, in the end, was cruel.
As the battle progressed, Mu En gradually felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He was, after all, too old, and his body was plagued by a multitude of chronic illnesses.
Even if the vast life force of the Golden Tree forcibly elevated his realm and briefly reshaped his peak physique, it was, in the end, merely drinking poison to quench thirst.
The moment his taut nerves showed even the slightest slack, the death that awaited him would be absolute.
And if he were to fall, the Shrek Academy behind him, which had been passed down for ten thousand years, would surely face a true catastrophe!
At this thought, Mu En's storm-like offensive came to an abrupt halt.
During the countless collisions and probes just now, his murky yet sharp eyes had already discerned the essence of Qian Jue's bizarre domain.
It seemed that as long as this Dark Domain did not dissipate, Qian Jue could endlessly draw power and possess the heaven-defying characteristic of being nearly immortal.
Since that was the case...
Mu En took a deep breath, his hunched body slowly straightening in mid-air,
and the light of the Golden Tree surrounding him erupted at this moment like a supernova, blooming with an intensely blinding, sacred radiance.
He raised his withered right hand and suddenly gripped the empty air in the direction of Qian Jue.
"Hum—!"
Accompanied by a dull tremor, the space within a radius of tens of thousands of meters let out a groan of unbearable strain,
as if it had been completely welded shut by a supreme, mighty force in that instant, locked tight!
Following Mu En's grasp of the void, the space within a radius of tens of thousands of meters seemed to solidify in an instant.
Qian Jue, who had still been moving at high speed and attempting to continue the war of attrition, felt his figure suddenly stall,
feeling as though the surrounding air had become harder than steel, as if he had fallen into an invisible quagmire.
"Since your reliance is this bizarre domain..."
Mu En's aged voice echoed between heaven and earth, no longer carrying his previous impatience, but instead revealing a calm and resolute outlook that had seen through life and death,
"Then this old man shall shatter this world, along with your domain, into pieces!"
The moment the words fell, the phantom of the Golden Tree behind Mu En erupted with unprecedented, brilliant light.
This was no longer a simple borrowing of energy,
but Mu En recklessly drawing upon the deepest origin of the Golden Tree, while simultaneously burning his own final fire of life and soul!
The dazzling golden light rapidly contracted and condensed, the extreme light aura burning the surrounding Dark Domain until it emitted a harsh "hissing" sound; large swathes of black mist melted and annihilated like snow under the golden light.
A massive Golden Sacred Dragon, appearing as if it were solid, circled behind Mu En, its dragon might vast and inviolable.
"Trying to force a breakthrough and decide the outcome in one strike, are you?"
Feeling the space around him completely locked, Qian Jue simply stopped his movement.
His expression gradually calmed, replaced by a cold, murderous intent.
The ultimate trump card erupted by an Ultimate Douluo infinitely close to the God Rank when burning his life absolutely possessed earth-shattering power.
"Then I shall grant your wish and let you give up all hope."
Qian Jue snorted coldly, the Double Soul Core within his body roaring like two engines running at an overload, erupting with a deafening boom.
The Demon Domain that filled the sky no longer expanded outward, but instead retracted frantically like a whale swallowing water, gathering entirely upon the six Fallen Angel black wings behind his back.
The ink-black Demonic Power and the extreme darkness of the Fallen Angel blended perfectly, rapidly compressing and condensing within his palm,
eventually transforming into a giant sword of destruction burning with viscous black demonic flames.
One gold, one black—two terrifying pressures representing the peak power of the current Douluo Continent locked onto each other at this moment.
The air pressure above the entire Shrek Academy dropped to the freezing point in an instant, so suffocating that it was impossible to breathe, as if in the next second, this firmament would be torn in two by these two forces.
"Dragon Emperor's Domain Shaker!"
Accompanied by a heaven-shaking roar from Mu En, the endless light power drifting between heaven and earth gathered frantically.
That vast, sacred might transformed into an absolute rule, forcibly welding the space around Qian Jue shut and locking it down completely.
The golden energy, vast enough to be suffocating, crashed down like an inverted galaxy, its destructive sharpness forcibly tearing Qian Jue's unfathomable Demon Domain into two halves!
Under the continuous crushing and purification of this extreme light, no matter how fast Qian Jue's Demonic Power could repair itself, it could not compensate for this instantly collapsing gap.
"Damn it!"
