Chapter 168 Mysterious Light and Shadow Appear! Tang San: I feel like an ant!
Ten thousand meters above the ground, Xuanzi's enormous Taotie Divine Ox true form, due to the complete penetration of the ninth soul skill, fell into a ridiculous loss of control caused by inertia.
His crimson beastly eyes were filled with incomprehensible absurdity, and his originally ferocious fighting spirit was forcibly cooled by an extreme sense of nothingness.
"how so?"
Xuanzi's enormous true form trembled violently in the void. Due to the loss of a support point for the output of soul power, the meridians in his body were torn due to the instantaneous reverse flow of soul power.
He stared intently at the purple light barrier, originally thinking he could uphold Shrek's dignity through violence, only to find that his proud, all-out attack was not even worthy of being clashed with in the eyes of the other party.
He broke down.
This reality, which made it impossible to even cause a ripple, let alone destroy the sky, filled him with unprecedented discomfort and humiliation.
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent below, Kong Deming of the Sun Moon Empire watched Xuanzi's awkward and embarrassed state and let out a cold laugh without any attempt to hide it.
"Hahaha, this is really a mess!" Kong Deming's voice spread throughout the area surrounding Mingde Hall through the soul-guided megaphone.
"A barbarian like you who only knows how to drink and mess things up, you actually think you can destroy the celestial canopy that carries the great opportunities of this plane? Xuanzi, before you make your move, don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Today, you've personally torn off Shrek Academy's fig leaf completely!"
The Poison Undying of the sect stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing no sympathy, only a sense of indifference as if it were a matter of course: "I knew it would turn out like this. The generational gap cannot be bridged by simply piling up soul power. This time, Xuanzi has squandered all of Shrek Academy's ten thousand years of accumulated wealth."
Soul Masters across the continent began to mock Xuanzi.
In their eyes, this act of knowingly and forcibly "flipping the table" is not only incompetent, but also shows a lack of magnanimity.
Meanwhile, in the God Realm, Tang San, who had originally intended to use Xuanzi as a "touchstone," now had an extremely gloomy expression.
He unconsciously increased the pressure on his hands resting on the throne, leaving faint dents on the golden armrest with his fingertips.
"What's going on..." Tang San muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief and solemnity.
As the God-King of the God Realm, he had just activated all his divine sense, attempting to analyze the spatial frequency of the moment when Xuanzi's soul power pierced through.
But he failed.
The state manifested by the celestial canopy was neither a physical entity nor a simple projection, but a kind of code state that he had never encountered before and that was higher than the laws of the divine realm.
"Does that mean even I can't attack Tianmu?"
Tang San felt a chill run down his spine.
If even he, the God-King, cannot intervene in the operation of the Heavenly Curtain through force, then when the Heavenly Curtain begins to expose the dark history of the God Realm, or even expose Tang San himself, he will have no chance to fight back.
"Who is controlling this thing? Could there be a higher dimension above this plane?"
...
Just as the entire continent was mocking Xuanzi and Tang San was gripped by fear of the unknown, another strange phenomenon suddenly appeared above the once constant sky.
It was a light and shadow that appeared out of nowhere.
The light and shadow took on a human form, but it was shrouded in an extremely dense white order light, making it impossible for anyone—even Tang San from the God Realm—to see its specific appearance.
The figure's gender was indiscernible, and the aura it emitted possessed both a metallic coldness and a divine solemnity.
A voice, seemingly bypassing the vibrations of the air, resounded loudly in the consciousness of all living beings throughout the Douluo Continent and the God Realm:
"This is a warning for those who launched the attack on the Sky Curtain! If there is a next time, they will be annihilated!"
The voice conveyed a coldness devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
The moment the words fell, Guangying merely raised one hand and gently pressed it down on Xuanzi, who was ten thousand meters in the sky.
At that moment, Xuanzi, who was still in a berserk state, suddenly felt an irresistible, absolute suppression belonging to a different dimension.
Under the aura of that light and shadow, Xuanzi's level 98 cultivation and his enormous Taotie Divine Ox true form became as insignificant as ants at this moment.
"No... what kind of power is this?!"
Xuanzi didn't even have a chance to let out a scream.
Under the shadow of that terrifying aura, his Martial Soul True Body instantly disintegrated, and his nine Soul Rings were forcibly forced back into his body.
"Bang--!"
With a dull thud, Xuanzi's body was struck down from a height of ten thousand meters by that force, like a falling meteorite.
His powerful body continuously burst into blood mist during his descent, finally crashing heavily into the central square of Shrek Academy.
The ground collapsed, creating a giant crater tens of meters in diameter.
Xuanzi lay at the bottom of the pit, his bones broken, and he was seriously injured.
However, this figure of light and shadow did not seem to intend to kill Xuanzi directly, but merely to punish him in this way.
After the light and shadow finished their punishment, they didn't even glance at Xuanzi before slowly fading away and finally disappearing into the void.
But the entire Douluo Continent fell into absolute silence because of what had just happened.
Everyone was awestruck by the power displayed by that beam of light.
There was no way around it; the power of that light and shadow was simply too great.
Therefore, even Tang San, who was above the God Realm, suddenly stood up from his throne, his hand holding the Trident of the Sea God trembling slightly.
Even as a god-king, Tang San felt a profound sense of insignificance deep within his soul from the aura emanating from that light and shadow.
It's not a matter of the amount of divine power, but rather the absolute suppression of the dimension of life.
"How is this possible? How could there be something in this world that makes me feel this kind of pressure?" Tang San stared in shock at the spot where the light and shadow disappeared, his deep-seated desire for control filled with fear at this moment.
However, the playback logic of the Sky Screen has never changed because of anyone's will.
After the punitive light dissipated, the celestial radiance returned to stability.
[In the celestial screen, Huo Yuhao, clad in a one-word battle armor, has completed performance adjustments at the Tang Sect's training ground.]
His figure transformed into a streak of light amidst the deep blue and dark gold glow, soaring over Tang Sect City and returning to Shrek Academy.
[In the scene, Huo Yuhao puts on his white school uniform again and enters the teaching building; everything proceeds in an orderly manner according to the rules.]
He organized data in the lab and analyzed laws in the library, demonstrating the demeanor of a strong person born from extreme self-discipline.
[Then, the image on the screen began to distort violently.]
The once pristine, futuristic white world gradually blurred, replaced by a somber, dark background filled with chaotic fluctuations of soul energy.
A line of large, dark characters appeared in the center of the light screen:
[The white world scene has temporarily ended.]
[Next, we will begin showing: The Dark World.]
