Poison Douluo Du Busi swung his colossal, mountain-like fist, imbued with terrifying power, towards the tens of meters tall Gourmand Divine Ox before him. The two behemoths collided once more, like two planets crashing into each other, unleashing earth-shattering energy.
"Boom!" A violent roar exploded in the sky, as if the entire firmament was torn apart by this power. In an instant, the winds and clouds shifted colors, and only intertwined yellow and green hues fiercely contended in the sky. Terrifying energy fluctuations, centered around the two, swept outwards like surging tides in all directions, covering a range of a hundred li. If not for the many powerhouses of Shrek Academy taking timely action, releasing their soul power to construct protective barriers around Shrek Academy, who knows how many buildings within the academy would have been destroyed, and how much property would have been lost.
At this moment, the hundred-meter tall dark-green giant strode through the void like a demon god, each step shattering the tranquility of space. He wielded his fists, smashing them violently towards the yellowish Gourmand Divine Ox.
"Rumble!" A series of thunderous roars echoed between heaven and earth. Massive shockwaves raged, and the immense power forced everyone to descend from the sky, seeking safe places to hide. Neither the Body Sect nor Shrek Academy had any intention of intervening at this point. After all, there was still room for reconciliation between the two sides. Once a full-scale war erupted, things would quickly spiral out of control, with unimaginable consequences.
Moreover, judging from Du Busi's performance, although he had been suppressing Xuan Zi throughout the battle, he consistently avoided using even a single 100,000-year soul skill, seemingly not wanting to escalate things to an uncontrollable degree. And despite being provoked and enraged by Du Busi, Xuan Zi also maintained a degree of rationality, doing his best to suppress his destructive power to avoid causing excessive damage to Shrek Academy below.
Inside the Seagod Pavilion, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao looked up at the sky. The terrifying fluctuations generated by the fierce battle made their faces grow paler. Their eyes were filled with shock and awe—was this what a battle between top powerhouses was like? Even with layers of soul power barriers separating them, the terrifying energy fluctuations originating from high in the sky still penetrated like a tangible force, allowing them to truly feel the destructive power contained within. With their current strength, if they were to approach the combat zone, they would likely be mercilessly annihilated by the overflowing aftershocks the moment they got close, without even a chance to resist.
Mu En narrowed his eyes slightly, also gazing towards the high sky. In his opinion, allowing the students to personally witness such a battle between top powerhouses might not be a bad thing. This could not only give them a deeper understanding of the formidable power of the soul master world but also ignite their fighting spirit, urging them to train harder. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to intervene in this battle.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, Mu En had always felt a subtle sense of unease in his heart. This sense of crisis came without warning. He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out where this unease originated. In Mu En's eyes, although Du Busi was powerful, even with his current half-crippled body, dealing with Du Busi was not difficult. If he were truly provoked, suppressing Du Busi would be as easy as raising a hand. What truly made him uneasy was that indescribable intuition. He always felt that something extremely significant was going to happen today, and it concerned Shrek Academy and himself. Therefore, he decided to bide his time for now, waiting to see how things would unfold.
In mid-air, the fierce battle entered its climax. The two mighty experts clashed with full force, erupting in a surging torrent of energy that instantly blossomed into an immense mushroom cloud. This mushroom cloud pierced the sky, illuminating the entire heavens with dazzling colors. The terrifying energy not only tore space but also unleashed an endless energy storm, raging between heaven and earth.
The dark-green vortex was like a colossal beast swallowing the sky and devouring the earth, wildly consuming everything around it. The yellow meteor shower, like sharp blades, mercilessly tore through the spatial barriers. The dark-green giant extended his mountain-like hands, firmly grasping the Gourmand Divine Ox's horns. Both sides thus engaged in a power struggle, neither willing to yield.
"Tear!"
Accompanied by a piercing sound, like fabric being ripped, dark, deep cracks appeared in the void. These cracks seemed to lead to the boundless starry sky, from which terrifying suction emanated, as if to devour all things in the world. Through the cracks, faint starlight could even be vaguely seen, adding to the atmosphere of dread with its mysterious and vast imagery.
"Du Busi, you lunatic!" Xuan Zi's exasperated voice echoed in the high sky, filled with anger and helplessness.
"Hahaha, Xuan Zi, I don't want to die with you, let go!" Du Busi, however, let out a wild laugh, his hands suddenly exerting force, throwing the Gourmand Divine Ox away with all his might. At the same time, he retreated rapidly, quickly withdrawing from the dangerous area covered by the spatial cracks. The next moment, countless pitch-black rays of light shot out from the cracks. Where these rays passed, all objects were easily split in two.
A majestic mountain not far from Shrek Academy did not escape disaster. The black light, like a giant sharp blade, instantly swept across the mountain peak. The incredibly solid mountain was as fragile as tofu, severed at its waist. Immediately after, the mountain collapsed with a roar. The colossal booming sound made the earth tremble, and the sky-high dust obscured the sun, triggering a brief earthquake. The entire Shrek Academy felt this intense tremor.
As the black light gradually dissipated, the shattered space slowly began to repair itself under the influence of the planar rules. The distorted and chaotic space gradually returned to calm, as if the thrilling battle had never happened.
Du Busi and Xuan Zi simultaneously reverted to human form, standing a thousand meters apart, facing each other. Du Busi wore a triumphant smile, loudly mocking, "Xuan Zi, you old geezer, you're getting weaker with age! Your strength is much less than before."
Xuan Zi's face was gloomy. He gritted his teeth and retorted, "You old monster, why aren't you dead yet!"
"Bullshit! I'm only twenty years older than you. You're not dead yet, so how could I die?" Du Busi hated being called old the most. Hearing this, he immediately exploded in a rage, hopping around like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Xuan Zi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found Du Busi's weakness. He immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Heh heh, if you have the guts, live for a thousand years, you old thousand-year-old turtle. That color on you would suit it perfectly."
"You're looking for death!" Du Busi was already short-tempered. Provoked by Xuan Zi like this, he was instantly furious. He raised his hands upwards, and dark-green light surged like a tide, accompanied by crackling dark-green electrical arcs. A gigantic green orb of light wildly expanded above his head.
Seeing this, Xuan Zi's eyes showed deep solemnity. He transformed into his Gourmand Divine Ox form once more. The ox horns on his head shimmered with dazzling white light, accumulating power, ready to meet the incoming attack.
Du Busi exerted force with both hands, slamming the colossal green orb of light downwards. The next moment, the green orb of light crossed the void like a meteor, instantly appearing above Xuan Zi's head a thousand meters away. This green orb, with a diameter of thirty meters, emanated a suffocating aura of destruction, smashing down on Xuan Zi with the force of Mount Tai. Where the green orb passed, the void seemed to be corroded by an invisible strong acid, emitting sizzling sounds, clearly indicating that this green orb carried intensely corrosive venom.
Xuan Zi dared not be careless. The white light above his head instantly transformed into a thick bolt of lightning, charging straight towards the green orb like a dragon emerging from the sea.
"Boom!"
After a deafening explosion, the green light transformed into massive light rings, spreading wildly outwards from the explosion point. In a blink, the light rings spread to a thousand-meter radius. Wherever they reached, space itself trembled slightly from the powerful energy.
Du Busi scoffed coldly, quickly bringing his hands together. The green light, under his control, instantly distorted the surrounding void, completely encircling Xuan Zi. Lines of pitch-black cracks appeared around Xuan Zi, corroded by the intense poison. These cracks emitted terrifying suction, wildly pulling at Xuan Zi's body, attempting to tear him apart.
Xuan Zi's eyes narrowed. He dared not hold back any longer. Yellow light spread from his body, frantically repairing the void cracks, exerting all his strength to prevent himself from being pulled into the terrifying suction. After all, if he accidentally fell into a spatial crack, even if he was a Level 98 Super Douluo, there would be no chance of survival.
Du Busi pressed his advantage, seizing the moment while Xuan Zi was busy dealing with the spatial cracks. He instantly appeared above Xuan Zi's head. He emanated terrifying suction, reabsorbing all the dark-green light back into his body. At the same time, he brought his hands together again, and another green orb of light condensed in his palms.
The next moment, a green sun with a diameter of over a hundred meters appeared above Shrek Academy. Its dazzling green light dyed the entire Shrek Academy an eerie green. The terrifying energy contained within this green sun made everyone feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"Du Busi, you're insane!" Xuan Zi's face changed dramatically, knowing well that the power of this strike was extraordinary. His nine soul rings simultaneously shone with brilliant light. Countless yellow lights rapidly converged in his hands, finally transforming into a peculiar weapon. Upon closer inspection, the weapon's shape was almost identical to the chicken leg Xuan Zi usually enjoyed eating. This chicken-leg-shaped weapon expanded wildly in Xuan Zi's hand, instantly becoming a hundred meters in size, spanning across the mid-air.
The next moment, the green sun descended like a meteor, and the colossal chicken leg weapon also swept out horizontally.
"Boom!"
Amidst a deafening roar, terrifying energy fluctuations, like a surging tsunami, tore through space, forming an immense black hole. This black hole unleashed terrifying suction, wildly pulling at all surrounding objects. Even the clouds drifting in the sky could not escape the black hole's suction, being mercilessly swept into it and vanishing without a trace.
"Not good!" Yan Shaozhe and the others' faces instantly turned extremely grim. Such a terrifying spatial black hole was directly above Shrek Academy. If not handled properly, Shrek Academy would surely face utter destruction.
"Alas!"
Just as the spatial black hole raged, an old and deep sigh slowly resonated. Immediately after, a majestic dragon's roar echoed through the clouds. A golden light shot skyward, instantly transforming into golden ripples, gently caressing the terrifying spatial black hole. As the golden light slowly flowed, the terrifying suction of the spatial black hole seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier. Not only that, the golden light also began to slowly repair the torn spatial cracks.
Under the illumination of the golden light, the black hole's suction gradually weakened, and the cracks slowly healed, until finally, the spatial black hole completely disappeared, and the sky returned to its former tranquility.
"This is?" Seeing this scene, Du Busi's eyes widened like brass bells, filled with shock. Although this spatial black hole was jointly created by him and Xuan Zi during their battle, they knew well that with their combined abilities, they had no means of repairing space. They could only wait for the planar rules to repair it themselves. However, the person who had just made a move had effortlessly repaired the spatial black hole with their own power. The difference in strength displayed was simply obvious, filling his heart with immense shock.
"Ultimate Douluo!"
Du Busi's voice was filled with shock and disbelief. He had never imagined that, besides Xuan Zi, Shrek Academy actually harbored an Ultimate Douluo, standing at the pinnacle of the continent!
