Excuse me, coming through
A nine-colored dragon appeared in the sky above Shrek City, Qi Ji made no attempt to conceal his identity.
The enormous dragon's body coiled among the clouds, its nine-colored scales reflecting a magnificent yet cold light in the firelight. When its wings were spread, they covered half the sky, and its tail drooped down, the tip of which almost swept the surface of the Sea God Lake.
He had no intention of stopping anything or hiding anything.
He hung there so openly, like a god descending from the heavens, looking down at the burning city below.
"Great! It's Dragon God Douluo! We're saved!" Someone recognized Qi Ji; they were probably his fans or something.
A young Shrek Outer Court student stood on the ruins, looking up at the nine-colored dragon shadow in the sky, his face filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe.
His voice was hoarse and excited, and it was particularly clear in the intervals between the explosions.
However, Qi Ji didn't care.
The next moment, Qi Ji's figure flew towards the Holy Spirit Cult's Titled Douluo and Shrek's titled elders who were fighting in the sky.
His speed was so fast it was like Teleportation; the nine-colored light drew a straight trajectory in the air, from the Holy Spirit Cult battlefield in the east of the city to the Shrek defense line in the west, with only a breath separating them.
"This is... Dragon God Douluo! It seems the Federation's reinforcements have arrived!" Some people were even fantasizing that Qi Ji had come to help them.
An elderly Shrek elder saw the nine-colored light, and hope welled up in his cloudy eyes.
He had been besieged by three Titled Douluo the Holy Spirit Cult for a long time, his Battle Armor was mostly shattered, and his Soul Power was almost depleted.
"Hahaha, reinforcements from the Federation? Are you Shrek dreaming?" A Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, dressed in a black and purple robe, laughed wildly, waving his skull scepter and throwing a soul chain at the Shrek Academy elder.
"Do you really think our Holy Spirit Cult can acquire so many Fixed Soul Cannon Shell?"
"What do you mean?" The Shrek Elder's expression changed.
"You're all too noisy."
A flash of seven-colored light appeared, and Qi Ji's figure appeared between the two groups of people.
He raised his right hand, and the nine Elements instantly condensed in his palm, transforming into a silent halo that spread outwards.
Wherever the halo passed, the space became as clean as glass that had been wiped with a cloth.
The two sides, who were just exchanging words, whether it was the titled elder of Shrek Academy or the Titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, were turned to ashes in the same instant.
They vanished without even a scream or a flicker of emotion.
He stands in the middle, attacks from both sides, and kills Shrek's men and Holy Spirit Cult members alike!
"What's going on? Why did Dragon God Douluo kill Shrek's teachers?" Someone noticed something was wrong.
A Shrek Academy student hiding behind the ruins stared wide-eyed, his lips trembling, his face ashen as if he had seen something incomprehensible.
"He probably just couldn't hold back, right? He probably..." Some people couldn't believe it, because Qi Ji didn't seem to be there to help them.
The two plumes of ashes drifted in clearly pointed towards Shrek and the Holy Spirit Cult, respectively.
However, Qi Ji didn't care about these things from the perspective of ordinary people.
His golden dragon eyes were calm, like two bottomless pools of water.
His gaze swept from the east to the west of the city, from the air to the ground, as if he were examining a game of chess.
This is just an appetizer.
After dealing with the first wave, and seeing the sky dyed in various colors by the battle of numerous Titled Douluo, Qi Ji continued his attack.
"Shall we call this move ' Dragon Emperor Otherworld '?"
In Qi Ji's hand, nine Elements merged: earth, water, fire, wind, light, darkness, space, Destruction, and life. These nine ultimate powers spun, compressed, and condensed in his palm, eventually transforming into a small sphere.
The small ball was only the size of a fist, its surface shimmering with nine-colored light, but its interior churned with violent energy powerful enough to Destruction everything.
It looked extremely quiet, like the calm before a storm.
He tossed it aside casually.
The small ball drifted slowly towards the side of the battlefield, towards the area in the west of the city where the most Shrek Soul Master and Holy Spirit Cult Evil Soul Master were gathered. Then--
The next moment, an explosion that seemed to destroy the world rang out.
Nine-colored rays of light burst forth from the location of the small sphere in all directions, like a sun being born on the ground.
Wherever the light passed, buildings instantly evaporated, a layer of the ground was sheared off, the air was burned away, and even space itself was violently distorted.
The western part of Shrek City was completely engulfed by the explosion. That area was instantly turned into a blank space, leaving only a bottomless hemispherical crater and the slowly melting rocks at the crater's edge.
Before he knew it... Qi Ji had completed half of the Level-Twelve Soul Cannon Shell mission.
Watching millions of lives being wiped out at his whim, Qi Ji felt nothing of the real world. It was just like when he used to play Stellaris and watch the numbers constantly changing on the screen.
But now, those numbers have become real flesh and blood, real lives, and have been reduced to ashes by his casual strike.
His heart felt neither pity nor pleasure, not even a ripple of emotion.
"Life is something that, if taken away too easily, will cause us to lose our reverence for it." Qi Ji seemed to have realized something.
There was no pity or pleasure in his eyes, only a faint, almost bored, calm.
He thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to the eastern battlefield, which had been deeply affected by his casual strike.
"Shrek City... Damn it... Qiangu Dongfeng, Holy Spirit Cult... You think you can kill me?!"
Yun Ming looked incredibly miserable at that moment.
His Four-Word Battle Armor was mostly shattered, and the armor on his left shoulder had completely fallen off, revealing the blood-soaked lining underneath.
His face was covered in blood, some from others and some from himself.
His breathing was rapid and heavy, his chest heaving violently, each breath seeming to be taken with all his might.
Although the opposing team was also in a difficult situation, the numerical advantage put him at a disadvantage.
Qiangu Dongfeng stood at a distance, his Soul Power fluctuating erratically, clearly indicating that he had also suffered a serious injury.
The other Shrek elders were either dead or wounded, and they were no longer able to organize an effective resistance.
Looking at Shrek City, which was already half destroyed, Yun Ming thought he couldn't hold back anymore.
With his Demigod status ignited, Yun Ming's aura surged continuously, almost breaking through that boundary.
A layer of golden flames ignited around him, a phenomenon that only appears when Demigod burns. His Atlas Spear reformed, the light at its tip even more dazzling and intense than before.
"Golden Ancient Tree, lend me your power, let me protect Shrek Academy, just as I have for the past twenty thousand years!" Yun Ming shouted, his voice echoing across the city.
As the Sea God Pavilion Master, he could indeed mobilize the energy of the Golden Ancient Tree.
The Golden Ancient Tree that stood in the city center and witnessed Shrek's rise and fall for 20,000 years trembled violently at this moment, and emerald green light surged from its branches and leaves, converging towards Yun Ming.
"That won't do... I still need the energy inside."
Qi Ji's figure appeared behind Yun Ming like Gui Mei.
