Tang Hao Descends, Baby Dragon Arrives

Buzz!

A terrifying spatial force swept across all of Shrek City in an instant, freezing space and sealing off everything.

The spatial barrier closed like a dome over the entire city.

Nether Emperor, Ghost Emperor, and the other Evil Soul Masters who were about to retreat were trapped inside, along with the powerful figures who had just flown onto the battlefield. None of them could leave.

Nether Emperor and Ghost Emperor immediately threw everything they had at the barrier. Even at full strength, they could not leave a mark on it.

Only then did they realize how dire things had become. A deep chill gripped every heart.

The void split open. A tall figure in black appeared from nowhere and walked slowly through the air, coming to a halt at the center of the battlefield.

His black robe snapped in the wind. The killing intent around him was almost tangible, and his crushing presence left every Quasi-God, Demigod, Limit Douluo, and Super Douluo struggling to breathe.

He saw the Blue Silver Emperor's roots, charred black by the blast, and her soul trapped in the Soul-Locking Formation hovering over Ghost Emperor's palm. He raised a hand toward Ghost Emperor, and the formation flew into his grasp.

Cradling the Blue Silver Emperor's shattered soul in both hands, he looked down at her ruined roots. His chest heaved, his eyes turned red, and he breathed like a bull.

The newcomer was Tang Hao, the Plane Master.

"Ah Yin, my Ah Yin... How did this happen to you?"

This was the power of a God-Slaying Cannon shell. Back then, the Federation had exhausted the continent's resources to make just three of them. Even he had taken notice. He had never expected one to be used here.

"Why did you shield them?

"Why did you protect Shrek from the God-Slaying Cannon?"

Tang Hao suddenly flew into a rage and roared at Shrek's surviving experts.

"You think you're worthy?

"You think you're worthy of my Ah Yin taking that fatal shell for you?

"How much pain she must have suffered!

"You ants can be cut down like grass, one crop after another. No one would care if every last one of you died. Yet you let my beloved wife suffer that torture. You deserve to die!"

"And you!"

Having vented his fury on them, Tang Hao turned to the experts from the other factions who had arrived too late.

"The Tang Sect and all the rest of you watched the Evil Soul Masters slaughter Shrek without lifting a finger to help. You've earned yourselves a death sentence!"

Finally, Tang Hao's murderous gaze fell on the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters.

"And then there's the Holy Spirit Cult. You had the nerve to attack Shrek, kill my wife, and even imprison her soul. You've earned yourselves a death sentence."

"Every one of you deserves to die today. I'll kill you all to avenge my beloved wife!"

Silence fell over the battlefield at Tang Hao's words.

The Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters could at least understand why he wanted them dead. He was avenging his wife.

But the people from the Tang Sect and the other factions were baffled.

What the hell is wrong with you?

We only stood by and watched. We didn't help, sure, but that's enough to get us killed?

Shrek's surviving experts found it the most absurd of all. They were speechless.

They had been bombarded by a God-Slaying Cannon and slaughtered by Evil Soul Masters. At last, someone overwhelmingly powerful had arrived—someone who could seal space with a wave of his hand, a supreme expert beyond anything they knew, and one with ties to Shrek.

Who would have thought he was a rabid madman who would turn on anyone? He was a living nightmare!

"This makes no sense!"

"Exactly! Why do we have to die too?"

"Everyone has to die? Do you even hear yourself?"

Cries of protest erupted across the battlefield.

But Tang Hao, consumed by rage, refused to hear a word of it.

Boom!

The heavy Clear Sky Hammer appeared from thin air. At the same time, Tang Hao unleashed the full, terrifying power of the Plane Master. Divine Slaughter's Domain spread with a thunderous surge and engulfed everyone.

Within Divine Slaughter's Domain, they could barely muster a tenth of their strength. It felt as though he could crush them with a single blow at any moment.

Only then did they truly understand that he could kill them—and that he intended to.

But just as everyone braced themselves for a desperate fight to the death, a crack suddenly opened in the sealed space.

A dazzling golden light appeared.

A tiny, round, adorable golden Baby Dragon floated out, riding the golden light.

Golden radiance flowed around Baby Dragon, making him look sacred. Like a little sun, he lit up the sky above Shrek Academy.

Before everyone's stunned eyes, Baby Dragon spoke in a sweet, childish voice.

"Whoa, where did I end up?

"Is this Douluo Continent?

"Is this Shrek?

"Why is everything bare and covered in rubble?"

Tang Hao looked at the golden Baby Dragon who had appeared so suddenly, surprise crossing his face.

"Who are you?

"How are you unaffected by my Divine Slaughter's Domain and my spatial seal?"

"What Divine Slaughter's Domain?

"What spatial seal? Are those even here?"

Baby Dragon flew a circle through the air.

"I don't feel a thing. Is that all?"

His eyes darted about. He had already guessed most of what had happened.

But business came first, so he addressed everyone present.

"I didn't come down here to watch you fight.

"My name is Baby Dragon. I'm the administrator assigned to the Dragon God's Ten Trials. I came down ahead of time to inspect the examination site. I just didn't expect such bad timing. Has it already been blown up?"

Lin Yuan's avatar, Baby Dragon, cursed inwardly. He knew everything that had happened, after all, because he had Lin Yuan's memories.

He just had not expected the people of Douluo Continent to act so quickly—or so outrageously!

The Divine Examination had only just been announced, and they had already blown up the site. What was he supposed to do?

Was it over before it even began?

Baby Dragon sank into thought. The on-site examination had hit a snag, and he was not happy about it.

Seeing Baby Dragon ignore him and start thinking to himself, Tang Hao grew furious. The little dragon clearly did not take him seriously.

"I don't care about your Dragon God's Ten Trials or your administrator.

"Everyone here dies today. Anyone who gets in my way dies with them."

"Everyone?

"You'd kill the people from Shrek too?"

A teasing look crossed Baby Dragon's face.

Now that's interesting.

"I might spare Shrek. But the Evil Soul Masters and these others all have to die."

"Oh, you should've said so!"

Baby Dragon understood at once and waved a tiny claw.

"If you were only killing the people from Shrek, I wouldn't interfere. But if you want to kill anyone else, I'll have to step in."

Utter contempt flashed across Tang Hao's face. He pushed his power to its limit and sent a terrifying wave of pressure crashing toward Baby Dragon.

"You don't have a trace of Soul Power. You think you can stop me?

"Who do you think you are?"

"You've got it wrong. I'm not here to stop you. I'm here to kill you."

Baby Dragon spoke casually, as though the Plane Master Tang Hao were no more than an ant.

"You?"

"Me. You've provoked me one too many times. Not even Jesus could save you now."

At those last words, Baby Dragon's expression turned serious. He was ready to fight, and his presence surged.

A spatial vortex abruptly appeared behind him. It stretched across half the Douluo Federation and opened high above the distant Southern Military District.

Inside the heavily guarded military camp, an extraordinary Super Douluo who seemed like a blade in human form jerked his head up.

Shock filled Sima Jinchi's eyes. His Soul Power had slipped beyond his control and was surging wildly.

Baby Dragon's voice carried through the spatial vortex.

"Sima Jinchi, Dragon-Slaying Blade, it's time to return to your place.

"I'm killing a mad dog today!"
