"Click, click--"
A fine cracking sound suddenly came from beneath Mu En's dragon scales.
Those ancient scales, weathered by a thousand years of vicissitudes, are now peeling off piece by piece like a snake shedding its skin.
"Roar!"
Amidst the earth-shattering roar of the dragon, Mu En's originally hunched dragon body suddenly straightened up like a fully drawn bowstring.
At the wounds on his body, muscle fibers proliferated wildly as if they were being reborn.
This sudden change actually withstood Toji's full-force strike.
Furthermore, the continuous bursts of impact from Mu En's body forced Toji to raise his arm to block, but his body was blown away.
The next moment, platinum-gold flames suddenly burst forth from the gaps in each of Mu En's dragon scales.
His hunched dragon body seemed to be straightened by an invisible hand, and his wrinkled dragon skin became full and crystalline at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Crackling sound."
The explosive sound of bone remodeling was like thunder. Necrotic flesh fell off from the wounds all over his body like raindrops, and the newly formed scales gleamed with a cold, metallic light.
Mu En's aged human face twisted and reshaped in the flames, his wrinkles disappearing like the receding tide, his long gray hair turning platinum from the roots, and his hunched back straightening like a spear.
When those cloudy eyes reopened, their pupils had turned into flowing gold!
The younger version of Mu En stood with his hands behind his back, his spotless white robes remaining motionless amidst the turbulent energy flow.
He looked to be in his early twenties, and his face bore a striking resemblance to Bei Bei, though his brows held a more mature and composed air, as if he had experienced many hardships.
Her long, silvery-white hair was loosely tied back with a gold ribbon.
"This is... the Dragon God Douluo in his youth?" Di Qiu'er, who was watching the battle, unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes. She felt the surging Life within the other party was like the rising sun, completely different from his previous decrepit state.
Mu En gently stroked the ribbon of light flowing in the air, and the seven colors of rainbow light—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet—writhed Entanglement merged at his fingertips, ultimately transforming into a sacred white-gold flame.
"I never imagined that in my twilight years, I could recreate the glory days of the Dragon God Douluo."
Mu En looked up at Toji.
The next instant, a deafening dragon roar resounded, and a hundred-meter-long platinum dragon body soared into the sky.
Each flap of those outstretched, sky-covering dragon wings stirred up Elemental Storm among the clouds.
All the residents of Shrek City saw a white dragon silhouetted against a rainbow of light moving through the swirling clouds Sea God Island.
Surrounded by the white Mu En, Moon's right arm suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and the dragon scales on his entire arm seemed to melt and flow, instantly condensing into a crystal-clear form.
Liquid gold seemed to flow within the crystal, and every line refracted a sacred halo.
The moment he raised his hand, the light in the entire world distorted, as if that arm had become the center of the world.
" Dragon Emperor Evil-Sundering Rend!"
The soaring dragon roar shattered the clouds. When Mu En's crystal right palm struck down at Toji's location, seven intersecting golden streaks of light trailed behind it, purifying the space around it into a pure white-gold color.
Before the palm strike even arrived, the crimson aura Toji him was already sizzling and burning.
He was horrified to discover that all the murderous and violent energy within him was rapidly dissipating, like snow meeting the blazing sun.
Even more terrifying was the mental pressure. This Dragon Emperor Evil-Sundering Rend carried a judgmental will, causing him to feel an unprecedented sense of guilt!
"What kind of bullshit is this?" Toji bit his tongue, the sharp pain jolting him back to reality from his shock.
"I may have killed many people, but I never considered myself an evil person!"
The ground exploded, creating a crater ten meters in diameter. Toji unleashed leg power in a near-self-destructive manner, dodging to the side at the last second.
A golden palm brushed past the tip of his nose, the resulting wind pressure scraping half of his face until it was a bloody mess.
"Whoosh!"
The remaining force of the palm strike swept across the distant mountain peaks, and the entire mountain suddenly emitted golden light from within before silently collapsing like a sandcastle.
The strangest thing is that every single piece of the collapsed rock has turned into pure crystal!
"Good for you." Mu En's crystal right arm slowly returned to normal, but there were still specks of golden light flowing at the fingertips.
Toji dodged the palm strike, but his figure suddenly blurred, flashed red light, and disappeared completely.
Only a straight golden ray of light remained in the sky, moving so fast that even its afterimage could not be caught, and it was already close to Mu En in the blink of an eye!
Mu En's crystal right palm lit up again, and the golden palm print of the Dragon Emperor Evil-Sundering Rend crashed down like Mount Tai.
This time, the palm print landed solidly on Toji's chest, and the exploding golden light burned away all of his upper body clothing.
But Toji was sent flying backwards, grinned as he coughed up blood. His backwards posture twisted strangely in mid-air, and his toes lightly touched the air, creating a sonic boom cloud.
Using the force, he transformed into a blood-red afterimage and returned, his level nine soul-guided greatsword trailing a ten-meter-long scarlet blade aura.
He actually took the blow head-on with his body, just to use the force to accelerate a second time!
Relying on his physical strength, he accomplished all sorts of insane feats.
Mu En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to continue using the Dragon Emperor Evil-Sundering Rend!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Then came three more Dragon Emperor Evil-Sundering Rend attacks. Mu En saw that Toji's trajectory in the air completely defied the laws of physics, leaving a bloody afterimage behind him with each change of direction.
Even more astonishingly, those afterimages actually had the ability to interfere with the judgment of reality; one of the afterimages even actively crashed into the golden palm print, causing an explosion.
Seeing that Toji was approaching Mu En again, Mu En shouted in a low voice:
" Dragon Emperor Domain-Shaking Realm!"
This sound resonated throughout heaven and earth.
The Radiant Sacred Dragon behind him suddenly collapsed into his body, and the golden armor covering his entire body instantly multiplied into countless dragon scale-like protrusions.
"Hold head high!"
The soul-stirring roar of the dragon froze the air within a radius of a thousand meters.
A golden domain with a diameter of one kilometer suddenly took shape, and twelve Radiant Sacred Dragon emerged within it, forming a sacred cage.
Toji was about to retreat when he was horrified to find that his speed had suddenly decreased tenfold, and his slashing movements became like slow motion.
The density of light elements within the area was so high that it created a viscous feeling in the space!
"Judgment." Mu En's voice suddenly resonated with divinity. He hovered above the central dragon head, his young face shrouded in holy light, his white hair moving without wind.
As he pressed down with his right hand, the twelve Radiant Sacred Dragon simultaneously raised their heads and roared, charging straight towards Toji.
"Boom!"
The moment the first Radiant Sacred Dragon struck Toji's chest, his world suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
All sound was silenced, leaving only the cracking sound of bones breaking echoing within the skull.
That dazzling golden light was not a simple energy surge, but a sacred judgment imbued with the law of purification.
He saw the flesh of his right arm disintegrate like grains of sand in the light, revealing the jade-colored bones beneath.
"The second one."
Mu En's voice came from the clouds.
