Beneath the dome of bone.
Gu Rong held one hand toward the sky. Behind him, Ning Fengzhi's and Ning Rongrong's robes fluttered, both of them completely unharmed.
"Grandpa Sword won?"
Ning Rongrong's little mouth hung wide open, as though she had never expected it to happen so quickly.
"Father!"
Tang San's face went deathly pale. He hurried forward to support the staggering Tang Hao.
He could not believe it.
His father was the Clear Sky Douluo. How could he lose in a single blow?
Ma Hongjun was utterly dumbfounded.
Didn't you say you could fight two of them?
This was just one Sword Douluo. How were you already finished?
What a damn scam!
He swallowed and could not help taking a step back.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"The Clear Sky Douluo is invincible! How could the Sword Douluo defeat him?"
Grandmaster trembled all over, his mind collapsing.
The halo around the idol he had worshipped for years cracked at that moment.
Chen Xin swept his gaze over everyone below.
In the instant they had exchanged blows.
He had seen countless openings in Tang Hao, stiff circulation of soul power, and outdated, rigid techniques.
A single casual sword strike had shattered the hammer.
So that was it.
Only then did Chen Xin realize.
The Soul Masters of this era used rigid techniques riddled with openings.
Compared with the powerhouses of the Human Emperor World, they were more than a thousand miles behind.
It was not that he was too strong.
Tang Hao was simply too weak.
Chen Xin's gaze was cold.
Tang Hao raised a hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, his expression ugly.
"San, there's no need to worry."
"I wasn't using my full strength just now. Chen Xin, die!"
"Ring Detonation!"
Beneath his feet, nine Soul Rings exploded at once!
Rumble!
Tang Hao's aura surged severalfold, reaching an entirely different level from before.
His combat strength skyrocketed!
Grandmaster's eyes instantly lit up, and he shouted excitedly.
"That's the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique, Ring Detonation! With the Clear Sky Douluo using this move, the Sword Douluo is surely no match for him!"
"What a powerful aura..."
"As expected of the Clear Sky Douluo!"
Ma Hongjun and the others breathed sighs of relief, their anxious hearts settling.
So he had not been using his full strength at all!
What a fright.
Chen Xin watched his opponent's surging aura with disdain.
"Shattering your own Soul Rings to temporarily overdraw your soul power is not only inefficient, but will also hinder your future cultivation."
"How primitive."
"Only you people would revere such an outdated, crude technique that costs more than it gains as some supreme ultimate skill."
Chen Xin raised his head proudly, fully regarding himself as a Chen Clan elder from the future.
He slowly raised his hand.
All the sword intent around him gathered upon the Seven Kill Sword.
"This strike is called-Sword Intent Convergence."
Purple sword light took shape, drawing away a vast swath of sunlight from the sky and leaving the entire world dim and desolate.
Chen Xin felt like an empty bottle inside, all his soul power pouring into the Seven Kill Sword.
This was a killing technique of a higher level than Ring Detonation.
Alarm suddenly flared in Tang Hao's heart. Every hair on his body stood on end as he sensed a lethal threat!
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
He roared, raised the Clear Sky Hammer high, and met the attack head-on!
Clang!
A clear sword cry rang through heaven and earth.
The purple sword light instantly pierced the raging hammer shadow, crushing every one of Tang Hao's attacks!
Splurt!
Tang Hao shuddered violently and spewed blood, his body flying backward like a kite with its string cut.
Utter defeat!
Everyone from Shrek looked ashen.
How could this happen?
Even after detonating all nine rings, the Clear Sky Douluo had still lost!
Grandmaster's pupils lost focus as he stumbled backward, the last of his faith utterly collapsing.
Tap, tap.
Chen Xin slowly stepped forward, the Seven Kill Sword gleaming coldly.
Tang Hao struggled to prop up his battered body, a trace of crazed resolve flashing through his eyes.
Just as he prepared to burn his life force, take San away, and abandon everyone else.
The voice from the sky screen rang out again.
[The third observation begins.] [A region will be randomly selected to merge into the future. All living beings within that region may freely choose a timeline. The minority shall follow the majority.] [Observation duration: one month/permanent.] [Observers may not kill one another. After one month, all observers may choose to return or remain in the future world forever.]
Everyone instantly froze.
Permanent?
Across the Douluo Continent, countless people's eyes widened.
Choosing to remain in the future forever meant making their decision sixty days early.
But there was an advantage to this, too.
If they did not want to follow the continent and leave their fate to the majority's choice, going to the world they favored now was not a bad option.
Most importantly.
An entire region would be selected!
They instantly erupted with excitement!
Previously, the sky screen had only randomly selected three observers. With such low odds, ordinary people never got a turn.
But this time was different!
With an entire region selected directly, did that not raise everyone's chances of being chosen?
However.
[The observation regions are: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Sea God Hall.]
Once the three regions were confirmed.
Wails rang out across the entire continent.
Why had they been left out again?
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Hall.
Bibi Dong's expression shifted slightly as she looked toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Were the hidden forces of the Soul Beasts finally about to be revealed?
She looked forward to it.
Worship Hall.
Affection filled Qian Daoliu's eyes as he thought of the woman he had met in his youth-Bo Saixi.
Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Hahahaha!"
Overwhelming joy instantly erupted in Tang San's eyes!
They were alive!
They had survived!
"They actually picked us! Hahahaha! Looks like my time isn't up yet!"
Ma Hongjun laughed excitedly.
The sky screen had restarted, and regional transportation had begun. No matter how strong Chen Xin was, he would not dare attack under the sky screen's rules!
The sky screen had forcibly reversed a situation of certain death!
Grandmaster breathed a sigh of relief. Reaching behind him, he found his back wet, only then realizing it was already soaked in cold sweat.
He looked at Tang Hao with an exceedingly complicated gaze.
This is bad!
Ning Fengzhi's heart abruptly sank.
The minority followed the majority!
Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well region, Shrek's numbers far exceeded their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect party!
Every one of them would certainly vote for Peerless Tang Sect!
When their votes overwhelmed his side, they would be forced to go to the Peerless Tang Sect world!
If the Sea God Hall and the Star Dou Great Forest also went to Peerless Tang Sect.
It would be a complete wipeout.
The Human Emperor World would have no observers, and would surely fall behind the other side in this round of observation.
Winning people over later would become even harder.
Tang San slowly rose.
He raised a hand to wipe the disheveled mess from his face and stared coldly at Chen Xin ahead.
"Chen Xin."
"You gravely wounded my father today. For this grudge, we cannot share the same sky."
"Once we cross worlds, I will command Mu En in the name of the future Sea God to slay you with his own hands!"
"Exactly!"
"I issue the command in the name of the future Phoenix God! Avenge Uncle Hao!"
Ma Hongjun immediately planted his hands on his hips and thrust out his chest, chiming in.
"I choose Peerless Tang Sect."
Dai Mubai raised his hand without hesitation, his expression firm.
"Peerless Tang Sect."
"Peerless Tang Sect."
"..."
Behind them.
Zhu Zhuqing stood where she was without a word.
Go to Peerless Tang Sect?
Then her entire life would be locked into place.
Become the God of Speed, forgive Dai Mubai, and follow Tang San's arrangements.
The whole little Shrek group revolved around Tang San as its absolute center, and the future Tang San was also the strongest among them.
If she refused to accept Dai Mubai in the future.
Tang San would probably step in and force her to compromise and back down.
At that thought.
The disgusting images of Dai Mubai abandoning her and dallying among women replayed in her mind over and over.
Zhu Zhuqing felt sick.
If she had no other option before, she could have accepted Dai Mubai. After all, he had been her only choice.
And she did not want to die or be imprisoned for life.
But now.
She had a second choice. Why should she still go to Dai Mubai?
Absolutely not.
She did not want to spend every day revolving around Tang San and Dai Mubai!
I'm going to the Human Emperor World!
Please, send me to the Human Emperor World!
Zhu Zhuqing silently repeated in her heart.
