The Blue Silver Emperor Was Blasted into the Open, and Tang San's World-Shaking Wisdom

Why did it seem as though the world had stopped?

The instant the Level-Twelve God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell exploded with world-ending force, there was no thunderous boom, no wave of heat, no boundless blaze. There was only an icy void and Annihilation Power.

A power that seemed capable of dissolving everything.

It was an apocalyptic force beyond any other weapon.

It did not burn or shatter. It broke matter down at its source, erasing and annihilating everything before the explosion finally erupted.

Flames shot into the sky!

They lit up all of Shrek Academy and most of Shrek City.

This time, it truly was daylight.

And all of it happened in a flash, almost too fast to comprehend.

Yun Ming, Long Yeyue, Ya Li, and the other powerful figures had not even made it out of Sea God Pavilion. They had barely managed to summon their Battle Armor when the terrifying explosion swallowed them all.

The blast came crashing down, powerful enough to kill Super Douluo, Limit Douluo, and even Demigods with ease.

"Pfft!"

Not one of them was spared. The irresistible shock wave hurled them all back into Sea God Pavilion.

In an instant, everyone below the rank of Super Douluo was knocked unconscious.

Even those above that rank, including Yun Ming, heard a relentless ringing in their ears and lost focus for a moment.

No one could withstand an explosion of this magnitude.

Wherever the white light raged, fire swept outward, spreading from Shrek Academy and devouring everything in its path.

Shrek Academy had stood for ten thousand years. Its teaching buildings, research rooms, and libraries held countless generations of knowledge...

The bustling city blocks, streets, and rows of shops were swallowed before their eyes, vaporized in an instant and utterly annihilated.

Vaporized.

Not even ruins remained. Wherever the god-slaying light passed, it left only the aura of annihilation.

It showed them what it truly meant to slay a god and destroy heaven and earth.

Most of Shrek City was reduced to nothing in an instant.

Only after the god-slaying white light slowly faded did Yun Ming brace himself and struggle to his feet amid the wreckage.

He spread his Heavenly Pillar Domain and sent out his spiritual senses. What he saw was a sight he would never forget.

Gone.

Shrek was gone. As far as he could see, there was only desolation.

The vast Shrek Academy had dissolved completely.

Long Yeyue, Ya Li, Zhuo Shi, and the other elders rose one after another. As they stared at the apocalyptic scene before them, every face went deathly pale.

They were shaken to their core, and overwhelming rage and grief surged through them.

"Cough, cough! What happened?"

"That was a God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell. The Federation's ultimate weapon. A Level-Twelve God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell.

Hahahahaha."

Yun Ming fixed his bloodshot eyes on Long Yeyue, who was still reeling.

"Elder Long, that slap of yours must have felt satisfying."

"It brought a God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell down on us. Shrek is finished. Every student, every teacher, and most of Shrek City's residents are gone."

"What does that have to do with me?"

Long Yeyue pursed her lips.

"I wasn't the one who fired it.

Besides—"

Long Yeyue suddenly pointed skyward and cried out in shock.

"What is that?"

Countless golden-blue vines covered Sea God Pavilion. No—they had been wrapped around it all along.

These metallic-looking strands of golden-blue Blue Silver Grass had already spread across the ruins of Shrek Academy.

They had also enclosed Sea God Pavilion in a tight protective shell.

That was why the God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell had failed to kill them. Everyone inside had suffered only minor injuries.

It was all the work of the Blue Silver Grass that had suddenly surged from Sea God Pavilion. And that was not all: the grass had sheltered every teacher and student throughout Shrek Academy.

From the inner court's geniuses to the outer court's students, all had been held safely within the golden-blue grass, even though the grass itself had been charred.

Delight broke across Yun Ming's face. The extraordinary Blue Silver Grass had shielded them so thoroughly that he had not even sensed they were alive.

This grass, which had appeared from nowhere, had protected them, Sea God Pavilion, and every teacher and student.

Everyone from Shrek had survived. Not one had died.

The cost had been terrible. All of them had suffered life-threatening injuries, and their auras were feeble, but at least they were alive.

The one that had paid the greatest price was the extraordinary Blue Silver Grass, whose defensive power defied all reason.

Yun Ming was certain she was no mere hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. She might even be nearing a million years old.

She had taken the full force of the Level-Twelve God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell head-on and saved everyone in Shrek Academy.

What kind of power could do that?

Beneath Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy had a guardian comparable to a god. Even Yun Ming was stunned by how deep the academy's foundations ran.

"Thank you for saving our lives, senior. Shrek Academy will never forget this."

Forcing himself through the pain, Yun Ming dropped to his knees and bowed to the Blue Silver Emperor.

But the Blue Silver Emperor had no strength to spare for him.

She was desperately weak. She had taken the Level-Twelve God-Slaying Soul Guidance Shell head-on, sacrificing more than half of her divine body to stop it across the entire area.

Over the past ten thousand years, she had devoured the Golden Ancient Tree and the Core of Life. Half the life force she had gained was spent in that single instant.

Her true body had also suffered devastating damage. As a plant-type Soul Beast, she was naturally vulnerable to an attack of annihilation.

And she had forced herself to save so many people.

But she had to.

Ordinarily, she would not have cared whether anyone at Shrek Academy lived or died.

Yet just a day earlier, her husband had used his authority as Plane Master to send her a message, telling her to keep a close watch on Shrek Academy.

Tang San had said the Divine Examination was descending. The safety of the entire Divine Realm and the Tang Family's future were at stake.

Shrek Academy could not be allowed to fall. Its students would inevitably be hunted relentlessly by every faction on the continent, and she had to protect them.

Those were the final orders given by Tang San, the God King of the Divine Realm.

They were not Tang Hao's orders. They were Tang San's.

Since her son had given her such an important task, she had to carry it out.

For the first time in ages, the Blue Silver Emperor had awakened and kept watch, all to keep a promise to Tang San.

After all, she felt guilty toward him.

She had died when Tang San was born, never fulfilling her duties as a mother. By the time she was revived, he had already become a god and no longer needed anything from her. He had even granted her a divine position and brought her to the Divine Realm.

That only deepened her guilt. Whatever Tang San asked of her, she would do, even at the cost of her life.

But she had never imagined these people would be so ruthless. They had not only come to kill; they had come to raze Shrek to the ground. Even she had been caught in the blast.

She could have protected herself easily. But to obey Tang San's orders, she had been forced to shield everyone else.

The loss had been staggering.

She did not know whether this Divine Examination would benefit the Tang Family, or whether Tang San had made the right decision.

But it was done. There was no point in regretting it now.

It was only half her Blue Silver Divine Body. Ten thousand years of rest would restore it.
