The Changes Begin

So that was it. Tang Wulin nodded. "But even a damaged Godslayer Spear is probably beyond my ability to wield right now."

After all, even damaged, the Godslayer Spear remained a top-tier Transcendent Divine Artifact.

"By the way, Guling, if I attempt to break through the seventeenth seal now, can I succeed?"

"Absolutely, little host. With me here, let alone seventeen seals, even eighteen seals won't be a problem."

After receiving confirmation, Tang Wulin nodded. Since that was the case, it was time to begin!

With a casual wave of his hand, Tang Wulin set up a barrier. Then the aura around him began to rise once more. He had failed to break through the seventeenth seal just now, but with the system revived, he began trying again.

Vigorous blood essence surged forth, and the golden giant dragon appeared again. Tang Wulin's formidable divine power and bloodline power charged once more toward the seventeenth seal, which was already riddled with cracks.

Power. He needed power!

If he were strong enough, perhaps he could truly resolve the conflict between soul beasts and humanity.

What was more, there were other enemies beyond Douluo Star.

He had to become stronger within the limited time he had!

A low dragon roar rang out, gradually becoming more sonorous as the golden light grew increasingly brilliant.

"Break! Seventeenth seal!"

Tang Sect Headquarters. Zang Xin looked at the distracted Cao Dezhi and asked, "What's wrong with you? You've been absent-minded all day lately. Thinking about women?"

Cao Dezhi rolled his eyes at him. "You think I'm like you?"

"Tch." Zang Xin muttered, "In the end, aren't I still the one you love most?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. I was saying, how could an upright man like Old Cao possibly be thinking about women?"

"Let's talk business." Cao Dezhi furrowed his brow. "For some reason, I've had an uneasy feeling lately. I'm afraid something major will happen before long, and it may be more than one major event."

"Uneasy?" Zang Xin cried out. "How is that possible? We've both reached the Ultimate Douluo realm. At our level, what problem could we possibly be unable to solve?"

Cao Dezhi shook his head. "We can't be so absolute. In the universe, we are nothing more than a grain of dust. Across the vast Star Universe, no one knows what unknown dangers may still exist."

Among the older generation of powerhouses, Cao Dezhi and Yun Ming possessed the sharpest senses. Cao Dezhi's perception was especially acute, even stronger than Yun Ming's.

It was precisely because of Cao Dezhi's keen perception, which allowed him to detect danger in advance and give his team time to prepare, that he had become the leader of Yun Ming's generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters.

Cao Dezhi and Yun Ming were both the core figures of that generation's Shrek Seven Monsters.

Under normal circumstances, if Cao Dezhi had sensed danger, Yun Ming should naturally have felt it as well.

However, Yun Ming had recently learned that Ya Li was pregnant, and he spent every day fussing over his soon-to-be-born child.

In truth, as long as he calmed down and sensed things carefully, he would be able to detect the changes occurring on the continent.

Zang Xin's expression also turned solemn. "Did you tell Wulin?"

"I did. Wulin told me not to worry, that everything would be fine with him here. I think Wulin probably knows something, but he hasn't told us."

Zang Xin said, "It's all right. No matter what happens, with our current strength, there will always be a way to resolve it."

Cao Dezhi rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I hope so."

Time passed quickly, and everything at Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect was developing in a positive direction.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. During those three days, the continent seemed exceptionally peaceful.

Suddenly, multicolored light flashed near Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

At the same time, the continent began to tremble slightly. A massive gate emerged, and behind it lay an incomparably enormous sphere of multicolored light.

As the light sphere flickered, soul beasts began walking out through the gate.

The weakest were Hundred-Year Soul Beasts, followed by a constant flood of Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

At the same time, black mist shrouded the sun in the sky. Though it was clearly daytime, the world suddenly became as dark as night.

Roar after roar frightened countless people.

Following a tiger-like roar, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts officially began to appear.

Shrek Academy, Eternal Sky City. Sea God Douluo Chen Xinjie was the first to arrive, with Light-Dark Douluo Long Yeyue at his side.

Chen Xinjie scrutinized the soul beasts appearing one after another and said in a low voice, "How can this be? Soul beasts are already on the brink of extinction. How can there still be a soul beast population of such scale?"

Yes, in just a few short minutes, the number of soul beasts had already surpassed one hundred thousand.

"They came from the direction of Spirit Pagoda." Long Yeyue's expression was grave. "Could these soul beasts have been raised by Spirit Pagoda?"

Chen Xinjie shook his head. "That's unlikely. Spirit Pagoda could not possibly have the ability to raise such an enormous number of soul beasts."

"But this is still fortunate." Light flashed in Long Yeyue's eyes. "Although there are many soul beasts, an army of one hundred thousand Thousand-Year and Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts is still nothing to fear for humanity."

"After all, with humanity's current technology, suppressing this army of one hundred thousand soul beasts would be easy."
