Tang Hao was burning with anxiety now, unable to spare a thought for anything else.

After all, this heavenly tribulation had brewed by drawing on his energy. He knew perfectly well how powerful it was.

This really was going to kill someone!

He would raise both hands and feet in approval when the Dragon God struck Soul Beasts and the Dragon Clan to death.

But when the target was one of his own, he would have none of it.

But why had such a terrifying heavenly tribulation appeared at Shrek Academy?

Why had it appeared right above his wife's head?

He had to go over, find out what was happening, and then figure out a way to save his wife.

The Blue Silver Emperor was not merely his wife; she was also the core of his son's ten-thousand-year plan.

To claim the Douluo Continent for himself, his son Tang San had not hesitated to lure in the Abyss, triggering a thousand-year catastrophe on the Douluo Continent that left far more than hundreds of millions dead or injured, all to use the Abyss's invasion to raise the overall strength of Douluo's Soul Masters and prepare for the world's future ascension...

Though the sin lay in the present, the achievement would endure forever.

Naturally, neither he nor Tang San felt any guilt. After all, sacrifices were inevitable if one wanted transformation.

The Douluo Continent belonged to their Tang family, and naturally, its people were their children. What parent could bear to let their children suffer?

They had simply been forced into it, left with no other choice.

Who could blame them when the Douluo Continent's rules were so weak, so weak that even gods coming here had to suppress their cultivation?

Once his son's ten-thousand-year plan succeeded and upgraded the Douluo Continent into a Half Divine Realm, the gods of the Divine Realm could travel to and from the Douluo Continent freely without any suppression. Only then would their family truly endure forever.

Now, before his son Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan had succeeded, that damned Golden Dragon King had blown up the Divine Realm, and his son's whereabouts were still unknown.

If something happened to the Blue Silver Emperor too, this ten-thousand-year plan would become truly difficult to carry out.

He was only the Plane Master, and he had not even devoured it completely. Besides, the Plane Master could not freely interfere with the continent in the first place.

Only after his wife, the Blue Silver Emperor, became the Douluo Continent's Core of Life would they truly be able to interfere as they pleased and do whatever they wanted.

Then the entire continent would be bound to the Blue Silver Emperor's life.

If the Blue Silver Emperor died, the Douluo Continent would perish with her.

Conversely, as long as the Blue Silver Emperor endured forever, so would the Douluo Continent. They would flourish together and suffer together.

But now, she had not even finished devouring the Golden Ancient Tree. She had not completed so much as the first step.

How could Tang Hao possibly allow anything to happen to the Blue Silver Emperor? No matter what happened today, he would protect her!

Charge!

Tang Hao had to see just who was stirring up trouble at Shrek. He would skin him and tear out his tendons before the hatred in his heart could be appeased.

At that moment, above Shrek City, the second bolt of world-destroying tribulation lightning had yet to dissipate, and the Golden Ancient Tree was already on its last legs.

Plant-type Soul Beasts inherently feared heavenly tribulations. How could they withstand one this terrifying?

Underground, the Blue Silver Emperor, who had lain dormant for thousands of years, finally woke completely.

Rooted beneath Shrek, she had lain hidden for a thousand years, eroding the Golden Ancient Tree's life origin day and night.

After enduring thousands of years, she was just about to devour this Golden Ancient Tree, which had a strange connection to the Douluo Continent's fate, and bring her work to completion.

But this heavenly tribulation had disrupted all her plans.

No, the Blue Silver Emperor would never allow this to happen.

She would allow no one to ruin her son's ten-thousand-year plan.

This was the only thing she, a failed mother, could do for Tang San.

She had died after giving birth, never giving her child any love or care. By the time she came back to life, her son had already become a god, so she had always felt guilty and wanted to make it up to Tang San.

Thus, even knowing how utterly deranged Tang San's plan was, she would support it unconditionally.

Tang San's plan:

First, kill the Douluo Continent's Plane Master and have Tang Hao devour him, then have her devour all the earth veins to control the entire Douluo Continent. After that, deliberately open a passage between Douluo and the Abyss, lure the Abyss's monsters onto the Douluo Continent, and personally orchestrate a thousand-year bloodbath, making rivers of blood flow across the Douluo Continent and turning the once-peaceful continent into a meat grinder.

The Douluo Continent became a brutal Soul Master training ground, and successfully trained Soul Masters would be sent to the Abyss battlefield to fight its monsters.

The Abyss's monsters could never be killed off, so the only ones truly dying were humans.

After these people died, their energy would feed back into Douluo, strengthening its standing as a world and ultimately preparing it to devour the Abyss.

Over these ten thousand years, how many hundreds of millions on the Douluo Continent had died because of this scheme of Tang San's?

But she could not concern herself with all that. He was her son, and whatever he did was right.

Even if something was wrong, it was the world that was wrong.

How dare a mere heavenly tribulation presume to judge a god?

The Blue Silver Emperor's temper flared too, and she drove her life origin without regard for anything else.

In an instant, densely packed Blue Silver Grass roots burst out of the ground, sweeping across the ruins of all of Shrek City like a tidal wave as hundreds of millions of roots intertwined.

Blue Silver Entanglement activated instantly-no, it was Mother's Entanglement.

The Blue Silver Grass wove an enormous net, desperately holding back the lightning filling the sky.

High above, Yun Ming witnessed this sudden turn, and a light of hope immediately appeared in his eyes.

The Blue Silver Grass surging from underground was extraordinary. The being at its core exuded an aura even more terrifying than his Demigod Position.

He could not help throwing back his head and laughing:

"Hahahaha! Heaven hasn't forsaken Shrek! Shrek really does have an invincible trump card!"

Shrek Academy had endured for tens of thousands of years and produced countless gods. Having a trump card like this was hardly strange.

He had been about to run. He did not have the courage to withstand this terrifying lightning.

But now that they had a trump card, he would give it a shot.

For Shrek's glory, he, Yun Ming, was duty-bound.

"Senior, let me help you. We'll weather this heavenly tribulation together." With that, Yun Ming prepared to draw on the power of life remaining in the Golden Ancient Tree's roots and unleash his strongest killing move against the lightning in the sky.

But the Blue Silver Emperor sent him flying with a single lash of a vine:

"You can help withstand the heavenly tribulation, but don't absorb my power of life."

"Senior, aren't you Blue Silver Grass? Why does the Golden Ancient Tree's vitality belong to you?"

"Do you want to die?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

"Then focus on withstanding the heavenly tribulation."

The Blue Silver Emperor had no time to chatter with Yun Ming now. The third heavenly tribulation bolt had already descended.

Compared with the previous two, this bolt contained three streaks of blackened purple light, each brimming with the power of destruction. Most of it blasted the Blue Silver Emperor, while a small portion struck Yun Ming.

Yun Ming's Four-Word Battle Armor shattered instantly, and he let out an agonized scream, spitting blood:

Damn it! You want me to help withstand the heavenly tribulation, but won't let me absorb any power of life? How am I supposed to withstand it?

Yun Ming seethed but dared not speak, and the Blue Silver Emperor was not in good shape either.

After she took the third bolt of tribulation lightning head-on, all the Blue Silver Grass she had just summoned was destroyed, burned to powder.

And that was only the third bolt. Before the Blue Silver Emperor and Yun Ming could catch their breath, the fourth heavenly tribulation bolt arrived in a flash.

At this moment, the fourth heavenly tribulation bolt had departed from the lightning that came before it and actually manifested a physical form.

It was an enormous purplish-blue dragon made of lightning.

The moment this bolt of tribulation lightning appeared, the lightning it radiated knocked Yun Ming several meters away.

"What a useless piece of trash."

The Blue Silver Emperor was deeply disappointed in Yun Ming's strength.

What the hell was this?

With strength like that, he dared offer to help her block the heavenly tribulation?

Disappointed as she was, she could no longer afford to worry about the depletion of her life origin energy.

Once again, she summoned all the Blue Silver Grass underground, forming layer upon layer of blue silver barriers before her.

At the same time, several Blue Silver Grass vines wrapped around Yun Ming, pouring pure vitality into his body without pause. She also supplied him with a portion of divine power, stabilizing that Demigod Position of his that had come from who knew where.

She forcibly pumped him back to full strength.

Feeling the immense Soul Power within him, Yun Ming was brimming with drive:

"We can make another stand. Shrek was his root, and as long as he had a single breath left, he would not let Shrek be completely destroyed."

Like a Nuclear-powered Donkey, Yun Ming once again charged desperately toward the fourth bolt of tribulation lightning.

Boom!

Rumble!

"Pfft!"

This time, Yun Ming's Demigod Position shattered completely, yet it only slightly checked part of the heavenly tribulation lightning dragon's assault. Everything that remained still slammed into the Blue Silver Emperor.

Now, throughout Shrek Academy, everything was gone except the Sea God Pavilion, where the Blue Silver Emperor and the Golden Ancient Tree were located.

Under the bombardment of the fourth heavenly tribulation lightning dragon, the ground across Shrek seemed to melt, blasted into an enormous abyss thousands of meters across.

It also revealed the Blue Silver Emperor's true appearance.
