Immortal

With the Federation joining the battle, the human side's experts were greatly invigorated, and their attacks on the Divine Dragon Legion grew even fiercer.

But suddenly, Sea God Douluo Chen Xinjie seemed to realize something.

"No." Light-Dark Douluo Long Yeyue spoke as well. "These dragons..."

Normally, under the bombardment of Ninth-Level Fixed Soul-Conduits, at least several thousand dragons should have been blown to death. Yet for some reason, the dragons' numbers had not decreased in everyone's perception.

Why was that?

As if to confirm his suspicions, Heartless Douluo slew a Divine Dragon with a single strike of his Ruthless Sword. However, he did not leave. Instead, he kept his eyes fixed on the dragon's corpse.

Just as expected, only a few breaths after the Divine Dragon died, its shattered body reassembled and rejoined the battlefield.

Most unbelievable of all, the Divine Dragon had clearly only been at the Titled Douluo level before its death, yet after being reborn, it had directly risen to the realm of a Super Douluo!

Heartless Douluo's expression changed. "As expected, these Divine Dragons cannot die."

They had been too occupied with fighting to notice this detail.

Heartless Douluo was not the only one to discover it. Many other experts noticed it as well.

"Damn it! These things can't be killed!" Chen Xinjie's expression darkened.

Light-Dark Douluo hesitated. "Should we try the Golden Dragon Spear or the Silver Dragon Spear? Perhaps they might work."

After all, when the Abyss had invaded before, those two divine spears had perfectly countered the Abyss's immortal effect.

Passionate Douluo shook his head. "We can't count on the Golden Dragon Spear right now. As for the Silver Dragon Spear..."

As he spoke, he glanced up at the sky and fell silent.

Passionate Douluo looked toward Heartless Douluo. "Old Cao, what should we do now?"

Heartless Douluo's expression flickered uncertainly. "This Divine Dragon Legion possesses an immortal trait. Continuing to fight will only waste our firepower and divine power."

"For now, we can only retreat into the city and activate our Super-Concentrated Soul-Conduit Defense System."

"With the infusion of all our divine power, perhaps we can hold them back for a while. As for the rest, we will decide after Her Excellency Gu Yuena returns."

Heartless Douluo had witnessed the extraordinary nature of that breathtaking silver-haired girl.

Like Wulin, she was one chosen by fate. He believed that she would surely return victorious.

Sea God Douluo said, "Can the Super-Concentrated Soul-Conduit Defense System you developed hold back more than ten thousand Divine Dragons at once?"

Passionate Douluo replied, "It can't hold them all back at once, but don't forget that we have many experts on our side. As long as someone remains stationed at the Super Energy-Gathering Defense System and continuously infuses it with divine power or soul power..."

"Then it will not be so easy for these Divine Dragons to break in."

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li said, "But the people inside the city are being evacuated right now. If we enter and the Super Energy-Gathering Defense is breached, the battle will erupt directly within the city. Then we will become the sinners of Shrek City!"

"It's fine. We'll move into the city." Skycrosser Douluo spoke. "Move out now."

"But..."

"Don't be afraid," Skycrosser Douluo said. "If the Super Energy-Gathering Defense is about to be breached, then we..."

"No. At the very least, I will stop them at any cost. I will never let them take another step forward!"

"The Super Energy-Gathering Defense System has an automatic repair function. During the time I fight them, it will be enough to complete the repairs."

"Brother Ming..." Ya Li's voice trembled slightly.

How could she not see that Yun Ming had already resolved himself to die?

Clearly, he had long prepared himself to sacrifice his life in the face of this disaster.

But if he truly went, what would happen to her? What would happen to their child?

Heartless Douluo suddenly laughed. He stepped forward and patted Skycrosser Douluo on the shoulder. "What are you saying, kid? When that time comes, we can't let you play the hero alone."

"And me." Passionate Douluo hurriedly added, "Old Cao, don't ever think you can shake me off."

Light-Dark Douluo sighed. "I have lived my entire life for Shrek Academy. In my heart, Shrek Academy will always come first."

"I'm old enough already. You youngsters should step back."

Heartless, Skycrosser, and Passionate Douluo felt somewhat awkward at being called youngsters to their faces.

But Light-Dark Douluo was indeed right.

Before her, they were all juniors.

Sea God Douluo looked at Light-Dark Douluo and smiled. "I once made the wrong choice, but this time, I firmly believe that I will not choose wrong again."

"I will fight for my wife, Long Yeyue!"

Light-Dark Douluo said irritably, "At your age, aren't you ashamed?"

"What's there to be ashamed of? If I weren't thick-skinned, I wouldn't have been able to win my wife..."

"Get lost!"

Heartless Douluo shook his head helplessly. "Enough idle chatter. The dragons we killed earlier have already revived again."

"Notify the Federation immediately. We are retreating into the city. Tell them about the Divine Dragons and have them withdraw first while observing the situation from the shadows."

"All humans and our soul beasts, move into the city immediately. We will cover you."

High in the sky, Gu Yuena rapidly adjusted her condition. Her earlier injuries had still affected her to some extent. Though not severely, she needed to keep herself in the best possible state.

She still had an exceedingly difficult battle ahead of her.
