The stars slowly faded and the morning sun rose.
A vast surge of soul power distorted the air itself. The faint morning light painted dazzling, dreamlike colors across the rippling space.
How many Titled Douluo exist on the Douluo Continent?
Perhaps before this, people only had a vague idea. But now, with nearly every Titled Douluo in the continent gathered in the Star Dou Forest, an accurate count was finally possible.
Shrek Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, the Body Sect, Star Crown Sect, Heavenly Spirit Academy, Heavenly Armor Sect, Moonlight Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,almost all the forces within the three nations. Even factions from the Sun Moon Empire, such as the Duan Sword Gate and Chongtian Gate, crossed the Mingdou Mountain Range to come.
A total of eighty-seven Titled Douluo gathered here.
If the soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest were included, the number of top-tier powerhouses present reached triple digits.
When was the last time so many Douluo gathered together?
One would have to ask the emperors of the Sun Moon Empire who once suffered under the shock of such an event,they would know best.
Buzz.
A mighty blade of deep blue light pierced the clouds. Under the pressure of nearly a hundred Titled Douluo, the darkened sky was split open by a single sword of devastating power.
"..."
Everyone stared at the huge dark holy dragon in the distance, hefting that sky-piercing blue sword. Their expressions were tense and solemn.
The oppressive aura of an Extreme Douluo showed them what the limits of humanity truly meant.
And that soul tool,one that severely countered traditional soul masters,made them feel obsolete, as if the world had been patched without their knowledge.
Yes, they had over eighty Titled Douluo on their side. If they were willing to pay the price, they could exhaust Long Xiaoyao, who had taken the form of the Dark Holy Dragon.
But what about the two figures beside him whose presence they could barely sense? One was Di Tian, ranked first among the ferocious beasts and known as the Beast God. The other… why did that one look so familiar?
Boom.
Four colorless soul rings behind the old man suddenly exploded with light. He took a single step forward, and an overwhelming aura surged like a raging tide, stunning dozens of Titled Douluo at once.
His powerful body warped the space around him. His domineering will made the world fall silent for a split second.
"Mu… Mu En?!"
Everyone instinctively turned to the Titled Douluo on Shrek's side, seeking an explanation.
Why had their hidden main powerhouse suddenly become a gatekeeping final boss?
With this addition and subtraction… how were they supposed to fight?
And also,was Mu En's current aura still something an Extreme Douluo should have? Didn't they see even Di Tian stiffen in fear behind him?
Could it be… the rumors were true?
Was Shrek really executing a "God-Making Plan"?
"Elder… Mu En is no longer the master of the Sea God Pavilion. He does not represent the academy."
Xuanzi from Shrek looked pale. He could roughly guess where Mu En had gone, but he didn't want to believe it. Now, seeing Mu En personally serving as that young man's protector, he had no choice but to face the reality: their Pavilion Master was completely gone.
And was there still any meaning in rebuilding the Sea God Pavilion?
Many elders no longer even mentioned being elders anymore. Even those who once attacked Chen Fu remained silent. Time and利益 corrected their positions.
Faith has a price tag.
Once a god's mystery is broken, faith becomes a business deal about whether it is worth it.
Of course, some people still didn't understand their place. But under the overwhelming trend, they could only remain silent.
As public opinion spread, Shrek Academy was standing at the brink of collapse.
And Mu En's "high-profile" departure delivered a fatal kick to this already sinking ship.
"Looks like the effect is good."
Chen Fu raised his hand, signaling Mu En to withdraw his aura. These Titled Douluo came not only for "Mortal Exile," but each carried their own hidden motives.
Chen Fu believed that given the chance, these people would willingly kneel and smash their knees against the ground, offering him strong spiritual submission.
Because he was someone who had faced divine punishment,and survived.
And he was punished because he attempted to create a god.
And the result?
Look at Mu En standing in front of them like a giant glowing light bulb.
As for whether the experiment had fully succeeded,
If it had, they wouldn't even dare come here!
And what Titled Douluo didn't fantasize about ascending to the next realm?
Chen Fu had once used this fantasy to weave a fanatical dream for Shrek. Unexpectedly, the web had trapped their own faith.
Uncertain whether his god-making experiment would offend the divine, Chen Fu chose the Sea God Lake,the only place with visible divine traces,to conduct it.
He admitted he intended to pressure the Sea God a little, hoping the deity would protect his academy's leader and prevent interference from unknown gods.
But life was always dramatic.
While he and the Sea God were secretly playing cards against each other, they also unintentionally handed each other fatal weaknesses.
He placed himself right at the Sea God Lake, where the deity's influence was strongest.
And the Sea God handed over his own mother…
Behind him, Di Tian looked at the now-calm Mu En, his expression strange. It was his first time seeing the quietly lurking "half-god human" near Chen Fu unleash his full power.
He had to admit,the Skydream Iceworm reaching a million years definitely owed something to this man.
This human had carved his own path, while Di Tian was still imitating the Dragon God Claw.
Compared to the conflicted Di Tian, Long Xiaoyao looked unfazed. Having followed Chen Fu the closest, he understood: wins and losses were just part of the journey.
First you receive divine punishment.
Then you get divine sponsorship.
Besides, wasn't a thousand-meter sword of light cool? The nearly weightless sword energy and its terrifying speed made each swing seem like it was giving the world a center-parted hairstyle.
And he didn't even kill with it. Each slash scattered elegantly.
The style was unmatched.
And he was a 99th-level Extreme Douluo,others didn't even dare criticize him. Thinking of their frustrated, handsome expressions made him itch with amusement.
"Can we talk now?"
Standing on the air, the divine wheel slowly turning behind him, Chen Fu faced the crowd with his hands behind his back. Intimidation was merely political negotiation by other means. Chen Fu had grand ambitions; killing was just the foolishness of a loser throwing a tantrum.
A lot of people? United forces?
Chen Fu feared nothing more than crowds.
"Or do you want to see what a half-god really is?"
Boom.
Soul power erupted under the pressure of his spiritual will. A massive force blasted toward the seventy-plus Titled Douluo not from Shrek.
"Is he insane?!"
"Madman!"
"Damn!"
"Defense together!"
The overwhelming spiritual force mixed with spatial fragments smashed into the hastily raised defensive barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fist imprints bloomed repeatedly across the trembling barrier. It swayed like a dying willow in a storm, barely holding together.
Just as it was about to shatter, Mu En stopped.
If a new god had attribute points, Mu En's would all be dumped into Constitution.
He could beat any balanced-type new god into confusion, and he could pin all ascended gods to the ground and grind them.
Because he was the only recorded human in thousands of years to have killed an Extreme Douluo,and that Douluo's power might have rivaled Tang Chen, who once dominated an entire era.
And this "Dragon God Douluo" did not even become a god.
"Hopefully Shrek can preserve a trace of incense fire…"
Mu En withdrew his black-scaled arm, glanced at the untouched Shrek contingent, then stepped behind Chen Fu.
Chen Fu looked up at the endless void.
So the blockade had arrived?
