Just as Lu Ren followed Snow Empress to the wilderness outside the city and prepared to show off his skills, Shrek Academy had a different scene here.
A large number of Holy Spirit Cult Evil Soul Master headed by Zhongli Wu brazenly broke into the Shrek Academy in broad daylight.
They took advantage of the moment when Shrek's high-end combat power was completely exhausted and its defense force was at its weakest to launch a surprise attack. Zhongli Wu personally led the team, and several Super Douluo level's worshipers held the line. More than a dozen Evil Soul Master of Titled Douluo poured into Sea God Island like Wuyun.
They have only one goal, to snatch away the sleeping Ma Xiaotao.
Although the battle ended in a very short period of time, Holy Spirit Cult's numerical advantage and the first attack caused Shrek's side to suffer a heavy loss.
In the process, Mu En killed six Evil Soul Master, and the battle ended.
After the war, only Lin Huiqun and Elder Song were left among the Sea God Pavilion, and both of them looked extremely ugly.
Both of them looked at Mu En.
This Dragon God Douluo was lying quietly on a worn-out recliner, his face as gray as a withering leaf, and his eyes staring blankly at the beams above his head.
He was already very old, and half of his white hair turned into a light gray. This was the most intuitive sign of excessive consumption of vitality.
In order to repel Evil Soul Master, Just now used the form of Level 99 Limit Douluo to attack Zhongli Wu and the digital Holy Spirit Cult enshrined in a joint attack.
Although he successfully forced back Evil Soul Master's main force and killed half of Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master, his already little remaining life source was consumed a lot.
"Mu En----"
Lin Huiqun's voice trembled slightly. She was the youngest among the Sea God Pavilion, and she had never seen Mu En look so weak.
In her mind, this old man is Shrek's sea-fixing needle, a monument that will never fall.
But now the surface of this monument is covered with cracks, as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind.
Elder Song also wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu En raising his hand.
The skinny palm waved gently in the air, as if brushing away some irrelevant dust.
All he heard was a long sigh.
That sigh contained too many things, including helplessness, regret, and a certain stubbornness that was worn away by the years but still refused to be extinguished.
"Xiaotao That kid just left."
Mu En's old face was full of melancholy, and now he looked weak, and even every word he spoke seemed to be squeezed out from deep in his chest.
"Due to the backlash of Evil Fire, her cultivation has been directly pushed to above Level 70. This means that she is the twenty-year-old Soul Saint."
"If she is really reduced to Evil Soul Master, with her current cultivation plus the power of Ultimate Fire, and the Dark Attribute produced by the mutation of Evil Fire Phoenix, I am afraid that even the ordinary Titled Douluo will not be able to control her."
"Once she is allowed to continue to grow, it will most likely be a disaster for the mainland."
"I originally wanted to use Golden Ancient Tree's Power to suppress Evil Fire for her, but unfortunately - Evil Soul Master received the news too quickly, so fast that even I thought that it was all a conspiracy that the child Xiaotao could save his life and return to Shrek."
"Mu En!" Elder Song quickly stepped forward and reached out to hold Mu En's slightly shaking shoulders, "Stop talking and rest quickly. You have consumed too much in today's battle. If you continue like this----"
"It seems that we, Shrek, are really in dire straits."
Mu En shook his head slightly, ignored Elder Song's dissuasion, and continued to speak in a calm tone of explaining the funeral affairs.
"If I'm gone, the only people Shrek can rely on are you two."
"The next Sea God Pavilion Master will be yours, Song Yunzhi."
Elder Song is the senior executive of the Sea God Pavilion. His qualifications are second only to Xuan Zi. He was originally the first candidate for Sea God Pavilion Master, with the title Azure Shadow Douluo.
She has the top wind attribute Beast Martial Soul Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, her cultivation level is as high as Rank 97, and she is known as the number one person in the agility attack system Soul Master due to her peak speed, and is currently the third strongest Shrek Academy.
At the same time, she is also the mother of Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er.
Just a few days ago, her daughter was slapped to death by Snow Empress at Star Luo City.
And now, Mu En is entrusting the entire future of Shrek to her.
Elder Song is such a powerful person. When she heard Mu En say these words in a tone of last words, her eyes were all red.
She grew up from a little girl to Azure Shadow Douluo, and Mu En has always been the unshakable backer in her life.
Now the mountain is falling, and she must learn to stand on her own.
"Mu En----" Lin Huiqun also murmured, his eyes slightly red, "Thank you for your hard work. You have been alone for too long these years."
Mu En shook his head, a faint cold light flashed in his hazy eyes.
Although the cold light is light, it is as sharp as a knife blade.
"My next goals are only two. The first is to see if I can bring back the child Xiaotao. At least I must bring her back here and use Golden Ancient Tree's Power to suppress the evil power of the Black Phoenix in her body.
F
"The second is----let Lu Ren pay the price."
When that name came out of his mouth, the air in the Sea God Pavilion seemed to freeze for a moment.
"You two, don't go out anymore and keep a close watch on the Shrek Academy."
"If you encounter something you can't handle, you can ask Clear Sky Sect for help. Although Clear Sky Sect people have weird tempers, for the sake of their ancestors, they will not just sit back and ignore you."
"Mu En!"
Lin Huiqun and Elder Song shouted in unison, with obvious crying in their voices.
They heard that Mu En was explaining the funeral arrangements.
He handed over the future of Shrek to Elder Song, contacted Clear Sky Sect for his retreat, and left his last strength to two goals.
And whether he succeeds or fails with these two goals, he probably has no intention of coming back alive.
However, at this moment, Elder Zhuang ran in from the door in a panic. His old face, which usually had a gentle smile on his face, was now full of solemnity, and even his beard was trembling slightly.
Mu En Seeing his expression, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. "What happened?"
"Mu En, Bei Bei are missing."
Elder Zhuang said hurriedly.
"Just when those Evil Soul Master rushed up to fight you fiercely, I went to Golden Ancient Tree's place to check on Bei Bei's recuperation status as usual."
"When I arrived, I only saw that the bed was empty. The bedding was still warm, but the person was gone."
"There were no signs of fighting or any signs of struggle. He was taken away without resistance."
"To be able to steal a living person silently amidst the layers of defense Barrier like Golden Ancient Tree, the opponent's strength is by no means simple."
"What?" Elder Song and Lin Huiqun were shocked at the same time.
Bei Bei is not only a student of Shrek, but also the only blood descendant of Mu En in the world.
Xuan Zi is dead, Yan Shaozhe is dead, Xian Lin'er is dead, the entire expedition team has been wiped out, and now even Bei Bei has been kidnapped under the eyes.
"These Evil Soul Master are too arrogant! First they took away Ma Xiaotao, and now they take away Bei Bei. They are trying to completely dig out the foundation of Shrek!"
Elder Song clenched his fists, and Rank 97's Soul Power surged faintly around his body.
"Mu En, let's go out together and snatch back these two children, Bei Bei and Xiaotao! It's still too late to chase those Evil Soul Master before they go far!"
Mu En slowly raised his head. On his body, the originally vague aura of decay suddenly became stronger, just like the aura emitted when the last dead leaves fell from the branches in late autumn.
But he still shook his head. "No need. Just do as I say, you two, don't go out again. Shrek needs you to be in charge, and we can't lose any more old people."
Lin Huiqun opened his mouth to say something else, but Mu En suddenly burst out with a strong Soul Power wave.
The pressure of Level 99 Limit Douluo was released without reservation at this moment, and the golden aura of light filled the entire Sea God Pavilion like a tide, suppressing everyone's words.
Although the pressure only lasted for a breath and was quickly restrained by him, it was enough for everyone present to clearly feel that although this old man was dying, he was still Dragon God Douluo and one of the top beings on this continent.
"Be obedient." Mu En's voice was heavy and gentle, like an elder teaching two disobedient children.
Lin Huiqun and Elder Song gritted their teeth and said nothing more.
Mu En slowly stood up from the recliner.
His movements were slower than usual, and his spine was straightening section by section, as if he was making a final struggle with every aging bone in his body.
When he stood upright completely, the former majesty reappeared on his wrinkled face, and the last two clusters of immortal golden flames lit up in the depths of his hazy eyes.
"The rest of the matter will be left to you.
"Give me some time, I need to adjust myself. In my current situation, I will die if I go there, but if Dragon God Douluo wants to drag people to death together, no one on this continent can stop him.
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.
His steps were not fast, each step seemed like stepping on water, but every step was as steady as a rock.
He walked through the long corridor of the Sea God Pavilion, stepped on the zigzag wooden plank road on the water, and walked straight towards the towering Golden Ancient Tree tree.
The golden crown exudes a warm and jade-like luster under the setting sun, and countless roots hang down from the trunk, like countless pairs of gentle arms waiting to embrace the old man who has been with them for hundreds of years.
"Ancestors, please give me a helping hand!"
Mingdu Outside the city, a vast wilderness has been completely shrouded in a world of ice and snow.
Snowflakes as big as goose feathers were whistling and flying in the strong wind, the ground was covered with several feet of solid ice, and even the air was filled with biting cold mist.
Snow Empress stood in the center of the ice and snow world, his white clothes fluttering in the wind and snow, his sky-blue eyes shining like stars amidst the long Swan hair.
Her Emperor's Cold Heaven·Xue Wu sun covers an area of nearly 10,000 meters. In this field, she is the absolute master.
Lu Ren was standing on the edge of the ice and snow world, his whole body was shaking violently from the cold, and his face was as pale as paper.
He tried to use Blood River Nine-Phase Life to fight against the field of Snow Empress, but the result was a disastrous failure.
The range of his Domain Expansion is less than one-tenth of that of Snow Empress.
Because the difference in cultivation level between Lu Ren and Snow Empress is really too big.
No matter how much his domain is expanded, it is still no bigger than Snow Empress's domain.
Not to mention that when his domain came into contact with the edge of Xue Wu's shining sun, it was peeled off layer by layer by the extreme low temperature, just like using a small bubble against the entire ocean.
Not only that, Snow Empress's field power is too powerful, just the Ultimate Ice crushing that comes with the field itself is enough for him to drink a pot.
Not to mention that Snow Empress's field directly neutralizes the sure-hit effect of Lu Ren's field.
"No, your field can directly cover a range of 10,000 meters. My field cannot compete with yours."
Lu Ren Seeing that his field was broken again, he gritted his teeth while pushing himself Cursed Technique Burnout.
The white mist exhaled was frozen into tiny ice crystals the moment it left your lips.
He finally realized firsthand how powerless relying solely on mechanical advantages was in the face of the absolute disparity in strength.
This can reflect the essential difference between having a field and not having a field.
Xuan Zi has no field. Although it is Level 98 Super Douluo, it can be hurt by Lu Ren's field expansion, and it can be severely damaged by Kurourushi's field.
But once you meet Snow Empress, who has the field, the outcome will be a disastrous defeat.
Because in the confrontation at the domain level, Snow Empress has enough power to neutralize his sure hit Rule, but he does not have enough power to break through the opponent's domain and crush it.
"Actually, your field is quite strong, it has a guaranteed hit effect, and the Soul Skill mechanism can also be 100% effective."
Snow Empress looked at Lu Ren's face full of frustration, and his tone became a little softer.
She waved her sleeves and dispersed most of the wind and snow, leaving only a thin layer of frost mist floating slowly between the two of them.
"It's just that your cultivation is too weak now. You have to understand that cultivation is everything in the Douluo Continent. Your cultivation is not enough. Even if you have a stronger field, you can't deal with beings whose cultivation is far above you."
"Using strength to defeat all methods is not an empty talk. In the face of absolute crushing strength, Rule will also be torn apart by brute force."
"But if your cultivation is at the same level as mine, then I will be the one who loses miserably."
"Because I can't figure out how my Xue Wu Yaoyang can compete with your domain. Your domain is a higher level and looks no different from the small world."
Snow Empress narrowed his sky-blue eyes slightly, and an extremely difficult-to-detect fear flashed across his eyes.
She told the truth.
The field of Lu Ren has exceeded the scope of the Douluo Continent field Soul Skill in terms of essential structure. It is a truly self-contained closed world with independent Rule and Law.
Although she can also use her domain to cover a range of 10,000 meters, it is still essentially just transforming the surrounding environment and increasing her own status.
The two are not at the same level in terms of quality, but the current Lu Ren is still too weak to give full play to this qualitative advantage.
Lu Ren fell silent, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
There was a rare dignified look on that young face that even he himself didn't notice.
"What's wrong? It's normal to be abused by Snow Empress. Don't be disheartened."
Ice Empress, who was watching the show on the sidelines, fell silent when he saw Lu Ren. Although his first reaction was to secretly rejoice, this guy with a perverted talent finally got to be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
But she was used to seeing his usual calm and composed appearance, and now she suddenly became depressed, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She floated to Lu Ren, looked up at that delicate little face, Orange-Gold's eyes were full of seriousness, and comforted Lu Ren: "When you practice hard, you will definitely surpass Snow Empress in the future!"
"You are only level 69 now. Isn't it natural that you can't defeat Snow Empress?"
"That's not what I was thinking about."
Lu Ren sighed, raised his eyes and looked at Snow Empress, with a bit of prudence in his eyes.
"I was thinking that in the future, I might have to deal with an opponent who is stronger than Snow Empress, and the opponent also has the domain Soul Skill."
"I can't even pass Snow Empress today, and I have no chance of winning against that person."
"No wonder, is that why you came to practice the results of the field battle in advance?"
Hearing that there was actually a stronger opponent than her, Snow Empress's sky-blue eyes flashed with obvious surprise.
Outside of Far North, there are only a handful of strong people who can take her seriously, and the existence that can make Lu Ren prepare for war so solemnly in advance must not be an ordinary person.
"But who is the opponent you are talking about who is stronger than me? I want to know who else on this continent can make you so afraid."
"Level 99 Limit Douluo, Martial Soul Radiant Sacred Dragon, Mu En."
Lu Ren slowly spit out the name and the following data.
"He is one of the three strongest humans in this era, Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion's pavilion master, Dragon God Douluo."
After hearing this data, Snow Empress was silent for a while.
Level 99 Limit Douluo, Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, existences of this level can compete head-to-head with Beast God Di Tian. Doesn't that mean that she is as awesome as Snow Empress?
If it were Far North, she would have a 100% chance of defeating the opponent by virtue of her geographical advantage. After all, every piece of ice and snow in Far North is an extension of her power.
But outside Far North, without the blessing of the right location, she was not completely sure when facing a Tsukumo level Radiance Attribute Limit Douluo.
Although the opponent's Radiance Attribute cannot restrain her like Evil Soul Master, it will never be crushed by her like the ordinary Titled Douluo.
After a long time, she spoke again, with a more cautious and solemn tone. "But I can help you delay him, at least I still have the qualifications to fight him head-on."
"You are now Bing'er's contract partner. I will not sit idly by and do nothing. If he really takes action against you, I will stand in front of you."
When she said this, her sky-blue eyes stared straight at Lu Ren without any flicker or hesitation.
"If you were in your prime, of course you would be able to do it. But are you sure about it now?" Lu Ren looked at Snow Empress, with a trace of worry that was difficult to detect in his voice.
This time Snow Empress was even more silent.
When her original power was sealed in the embryo, she was forcibly stripped away by God-Sealing Platform. Although she has recovered some of her power now, she is still far behind from her heyday.
If you try to challenge Level 99 Limit Douluo in your current state, your chances of winning are indeed slim.
So she broke her guard and said, "That damn human being - it's all his fault that my origin was damaged! I haven't been able to recover until now!"
"You should be glad that your original power is now damaged." Lu Ren sighed upon seeing this, with some comfort in his tone, "It is precisely because your current power is weakened by the seal that your Heavenly Tribulation has not arrived so soon."
"If your origin is intact, and with your 700,000 years of cultivation, the next Heavenly Tribulation should have arrived long ago."
Snow Empress opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Then she stared straight at Lu Ren, with a very serious light shining in her sky-blue eyes. "When will you arrive Titled Douluo?"
"I can't wait any longer!"
