Appearance, King Meets King!

In this battle between humans and soul beasts, reconciliation was clearly no longer possible.

Wherever the Dragon God Sword's energy passed, the void shattered and space collapsed!

A silver rift suddenly appeared in the path of the Dragon God Slash. An immensely powerful suction force arose from within, drawing all of the Dragon God Slash's terrifying power into the rift.

At the same time, the silver rift closed, and the Dragon God Sword was transferred to another space to erupt!

Spatial transfer!

Without a doubt, there was only one person in this world capable of transferring an attack on the level of the Dragon God Sword out of the Douluo Continent!

An incomparably terrifying divine consciousness descended from the heavens! Its powerful fluctuations suppressed everyone present.

Silver light scattered down. As it fell upon Di Tian, his eyes gradually cleared, and the frenzy around him slowly faded.

The Life Flame on Di Tian's body was forcibly extinguished, and the Dragon God Sword's time had finally run out.

Who was this? Someone had actually blocked such a powerful Dragon God Slash!

Was it one of theirs?

Everyone from Shrek Academy raised their heads.

The void in the sky tore open, and a person slowly stepped out from within the shattered space.

She had silver eyes and silver hair, flawless and breathtakingly beautiful. Her aura was cold and aloof, with a trace of nobility in her gaze.

Gu Yuena had arrived!

"Greetings, my lord." Di Tian dropped to one knee and lowered his head, concealing the emotions in his eyes as best he could.

"Greetings, my lord." For a moment, aside from Da Ming and Er Ming, every soul beast present bowed in worship to Gu Yuena.

"Gu Yue?" Among Shrek's experts, Xie Xie spoke with uncertainty.

Gu Yuena glanced at Xie Xie. "You have the wrong person."

"Impossible!" Xie Xie said. "That look in your eyes is exactly the same as Gu Yue's. And although your eyes are purple, they look very much like hers!"

Among the Shrek Seven Monsters, Xie Xie had known Gu Yue longer than anyone besides Tang Wulin.

That was why he vaguely felt that the person before him was very likely Gu Yue.

"So what if it's me?" Gu Yuena no longer denied it and admitted it outright.

"So what?" Upon hearing that, Xie Xie immediately grew agitated. "So you were the one who started this rebellion? You have always been on the soul beasts' side?"

"So you betrayed the captain, and you betrayed us too, didn't you?"

"Yes." Gu Yuena's voice was somewhat cold. "In this inevitable conflict between humans and soul beasts, I could only choose to stand with the soul beasts."

"I admit that I truly developed human emotions because of you, but dragon blood flows through my body, not human blood!"

"I had originally planned to wait through several rounds of duels for the master of your Sea God Pavilion to appear, then negotiate with him personally."

"But now, the duel has exceeded my expectations, so it can no longer continue. From this moment on, the terms of the duel are void. In the name of freedom, the soul beasts formally declare war on humanity!"

"From this day onward, I, Gu Yuena, sever all ties with Tang Wulin. We are nothing but enemies!"

As she spoke, the Silver Dragon Spear appeared in Gu Yuena's hand, blazing with silver radiance.

Wherever the silver light passed, all opposition was blocked.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The soul beasts roared.

At that moment, an earthshaking disturbance erupted from deep within Shrek Academy, and a pillar of golden light shot into the heavens!

Within the golden pillar, a giant dragon could faintly be heard roaring!

For a moment, the entire sky and earth trembled, as though they had been awaiting this person for a very long time.

A handsome golden figure walked through the air. He wore white robes embroidered with golden patterns, while his blue hair flowed loose behind him.

There was not a trace of energy fluctuation around him, making him seem like an ordinary person.

Yet the instant he appeared, countless powers of heaven and earth poured into his body.

"Wulin! Wulin has emerged from seclusion!"

"Wonderful, we still have hope."

Everyone at Shrek Academy was overjoyed. Though their insight did not allow them to discern Tang Wulin's current strength, they could absolutely tell that he was now no weaker than Gu Yuena!

Humanity still had hope!

He had emerged from seclusion. He had become stronger.

Gu Yuena felt somewhat relieved. Only now that Tang Wulin had emerged from seclusion could her plan continue. Otherwise, she truly would not have known what to do for the time being.

With a flash of silver light, Gu Yuena arrived at the very front of the soul beasts. As she drew close, however, her own bloodline suddenly began to stir, bringing with it a sense of danger.

"This is..." Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly contracted.

At the same time, a violent aura erupted! The golden figure slowly opened his eyes.

Yes, eyes—not merely a pair of ordinary eyes, but a pair of blood-red dragon eyes!

Soul rings rose one after another. A full nine golden soul rings began to pulse as they revolved around him!

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, blasting everyone around him away!

Even Gu Yuena was struck by that aura and staggered back repeatedly.

"This aura..."

Gu Yuena's body trembled slightly. Her vision instantly blurred, and at this very moment, her heart hurt terribly.

She could never mistake it.

This was the aura of a Half-step Divine King!

This was its violent aura!

It had returned!

At the same time, it meant that Tang Wulin no longer existed.

"Hehe, hahaha! This sovereign has finally awakened!"

Tang Wulin laughed in the air. No—more accurately, he was now the Golden Dragon King!

The Golden Dragon King slowly said, "What a wonderful world! Unfortunately, it will soon cease to exist."

Gu Yuena's heart was already in complete turmoil.

She did not understand what had happened. What exactly had happened? Why had the Golden Dragon King suddenly awakened completely?

Hadn't that Divine King left a safeguard on Tang Wulin? Why had it failed to stop the Golden Dragon King's awakening?

Just as Gu Yuena had thought, what exactly had happened earlier?

Within Tang Wulin's sea of spirit, the Golden Dragon King merged with Tang Wulin.

The Golden Dragon King said coldly, "Tang San, let this king use your son's body to defeat you!"

"My awakening can no longer be stopped."

(The climax is about to begin. Once the Golden Dragon King and soul beast matters are resolved, the arcs exploring Douluo Star and the Dragon-Horse Twin Stars have already been planned. Thank you for your support, little darlings!)
