At worst, I'll sink Shrek! I live in Mingdu anyway

After Ring Detonation, the Soul Rings' power would erupt in full, instantly becoming the user's own power and merging into their attacks to produce strength far beyond what they originally possessed.

Moreover, the higher the quality of the detonated Soul Rings, the stronger the effect.

Ring Detonation was extremely dangerous. One slip in control, and if the user could not suppress its energy, that tremendous power could devour them.

Once all their Soul Rings had undergone Ring Detonation, the user would also fall into a state of extreme weakness.

The price of Ring Detonation was enormous as well: all the detonated Soul Rings would disappear for three days.

It took three full days for the Soul Rings to recover.

Of course, none of this was an issue for Luo Chen, who possessed the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

He only needed to use his Martial Soul to absorb enough energy to replenish everything he had lost.

For Luo Chen, the side effects of Ring Detonation were so minor that they practically did not exist.

"Devouring Realm!"

A boundless black hole of pitch-dark nothingness appeared above Shrek Academy.

To Luo Chen, the Golden Tree's energy was a tremendous tonic. How could he pass it up?

"Yun Ming, oh, Yun Ming, I've had my eye on this Golden Tree of yours for years!"

"Shrek is going to be blown to nothing in a few years anyway, so why not give me the Golden Tree's energy? Let me break through to Limit Douluo in one go!"

Outside the sky screen, everyone from Shrek froze when they heard this.

Shrek was going to be blown up?

What did that mean?

By whom?

However, no matter how many questions they had, Luo Chen could not hear them at present.

As the Golden Tree's energy gradually dwindled, Yun Ming finally realized something was wrong!

"Luo Chen! How dare you!"

The Golden Tree was the true heart of their Shrek Academy!

The Heavenly Spear thrust forward. There was no deafening boom; its spear intent was condensed to the utmost, and an incandescent arc tore through the sky, shooting straight toward the Devouring Realm!

The Heavenly Spear gradually tore the Devouring Realm apart.

This strike contained all of Yun Ming's power. As the continent's strongest expert, his attack was utterly terrifying. Most Titled Douluos would struggle even to defend against it.

Unfortunately, Luo Chen was not among that majority.

Watching this, Qian Daoliu broke into a cold sweat for Luo Chen.

"A Peerless Douluo?"

Qian Daoliu could even sense that without using angel divine power, he might not be Yun Ming's match.

Unlike Qian Daoliu's worry, Yu Xiaogang's attitude was the complete opposite.

"A Peerless Douluo? Hahaha, Luo Chen, your time has come!"

Just as everyone thought the outcome was settled, Luo Chen flashed a wicked smile.

"I'm taking this energy today, no matter what!"

Sharp cracks rang out one after another as eight Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings shattered in succession.

"Yun Ming, you blocked the first move. What about the second?"

An even larger Devouring Realm appeared, its reach so vast that it enveloped the entire Shrek Academy.

Within the sky screen, the many heroines watching this scene were full of admiration.

Qian Renxue: Had Luo Chen already become this powerful? It looked like I needed to undertake my Angel Nine Trials too!

Hu Liena: Just what I expected from the man I had my eye on! Teach those Shrek people a proper lesson!

Ning Rongrong: Why did Shrek Academy no longer have the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?

Wang Dong'er: Luo Chen was amazing! (•̀ᴗ-)✧

Wang Qiu'er: Luo Chen, I would definitely catch up to you!

"Do you really think Shrek has no one left?!"

Several figures flew out of the Sea God Pavilion, almost all of them possessing cultivation at the Super Douluo level or above.

At their head was none other than the Light and Darkness Douluo, Long Yueye.

Only by joining forces with Yun Ming did they barely manage to withstand Luo Chen's Devouring Realm.

Even so, thirty percent of the Golden Tree's energy had been drained.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen's soul power leaped from rank 91 to rank 95, reaching the Super Douluo level.

"This Golden Tree really is a tremendous tonic. I wonder why Tang Wulin only gained a few ranks of soul power after absorbing thirty percent of it."

"The Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul must be too useless. A trash Martial Soul is still trash even after an upgrade," Luo Chen scoffed.

Hearing this, Tang San nearly fell off the ship bound for Sea God Island.

The Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was useless?

It was a super Martial Soul!

Within the sky screen, Yun Ming walked toward Luo Chen step by step, radiating boundless killing intent.

Yet Luo Chen showed not the slightest fear.

"What is it, Yun Ming? You want to kill me?"

"Don't forget, in a few days I'll be representing the Federation on a trip to the Star Luo Empire. Your Shrek people will be going too."

Outside the sky screen, in the Spirit Hall era.

The emperor of the Star Luo Empire was overjoyed to hear this.

"At last, I can see the future Star Luo Empire! Will it still be as mighty and prosperous as it is under my rule?"

"If not for Spirit Hall, I would have unified the continent long ago!"

Xu Jiawei, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire in the Peerless Tang Sect era, was equally delighted.

"Let me see whether the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years from now is still ruled by descendants of my Xu family."

Beside him, Xu Jiujiu, the eldest princess of the Star Luo Empire, stared fixedly at Luo Chen, dressed in a long golden court gown.

"Luo Chen, if I see you next time, this big sister will do everything she can to make you hers!"

When Xu Jiujiu finished speaking, a light suddenly flashed within the sky screen, and she vanished from where she stood.

The next second, Xu Jiujiu appeared on a quaint, old-fashioned street.

"Wasn't I in the palace just now? How did I end up on a street in Star Luo City?" Xu Jiujiu was immediately puzzled.

Looking around, she saw massive, thick stone walls stretching beyond sight, with rows of cold, heavy Soul Cannons mounted on top.

Yet the buildings were different from those of the original Star Luo City.

Instead, they closely resembled the buildings surrounding Luo Chen in the sky screen.

An absurd yet exhilarating thought surfaced in Xu Jiujiu's mind.

"Could I have traveled ten thousand years into the future?"

Then she recalled Luo Chen saying he would come to the Star Luo Empire in a few days.

"Luo Chen, you won't get away this time."

Inside Shrek Academy, the standoff between Luo Chen and the members of the Sea God Pavilion continued.

This time, Luo Chen did not release his Devouring Ancestral Talisman Martial Soul. Instead, he released his Ice Ancestral Talisman Martial Soul.

Four blood-red Soul Rings and five orange Soul Rings abruptly appeared, and the temperature around Luo Chen dropped to several times lower than before.

"The reinforcements I called should be about here by now," Luo Chen murmured to himself.

Since he had come for the Golden Tree from the very beginning, how could Luo Chen possibly have arrived unprepared?

Hearing this, Yun Ming knitted his brows. The next second, two groups approached from different directions not far from Shrek Academy!

Both of their leaders were unmistakably Limit Douluos!

"Leng Yaozhu, Guan Yue," Yun Ming said coldly.

The newcomers were none other than Leng Yaozhu, the Spirit Pagoda's deputy master, and Guan Yue, the War God Temple's deputy master.

With two Limit Douluos backing him, Luo Chen's tone grew firmer. "Well, Yun Ming? Still want to fight? At worst, I'll sink Shrek!"

I live in Mingdu anyway.

After arriving with the Spirit Pagoda's people, Leng Yaozhu kept her eyes fixed on Ya Li behind Yun Ming.

The air between the two women reeked of gunpowder.

Guan Yue, meanwhile, approached Yun Ming and tried to persuade him.

"Yun Ming, let this matter go. It was only a sparring match, after all. There's no need to make things ugly."

Yun Ming said nothing. He simply could not swallow this humiliation.

Then Guan Yue went over to Luo Chen, playing the peacemaker.

"Luo Chen, coming here for a sparring match was one thing, but why did you have to make such a huge commotion?"

"Wasn't I just here to exchange pointers with Shrek Academy? Now that we're done, it's time we left."

Luo Chen was not greedy either; he quit while he was ahead. What if he really drove Yun Ming into a frenzy and they actually sank Shrek?

"Yun Ming, when I become a Limit Douluo, we'll settle who's stronger. I hope that when the time comes, both you and Shrek are still alive..."

As Luo Chen and the others left, Ya Li came to Yun Ming's side.

"Brother Ming, what did Luo Chen mean by that last remark?"

"Hmph!"

Yun Ming snorted coldly. "Just shooting his mouth off. Shrek is the continent's number one academy. Who would dare touch us? Even the Federation would have to think twice!"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang, who had only just settled down outside the sky screen, flew into a rage again.

"Now you're putting on airs? Why didn't you do that earlier? You just let him leave like that?"

"I think Shrek will be ruined in your hands sooner or later! You'd be better off letting me lead Shrek!"
