A resounding boom erupted, and a missile exploded like a giant firework, illuminating the entire Sea God's Island as if night had suddenly transitioned into day.
"Boom, boom, boom!" One explosion rang out after another, creating a spectacular fireworks display on a massive scale. No one died yet.
Soul missiles had already been widely renowned as the most fearsome weapons since 10,000 years ago, and soul missiles at or above the seventh grade were considered to be weapons that could turn the tides of major wars.
At this moment, all of the missiles exploding in the sky were at least of the seventh grade. The same as the ones used in the Heaven Dou City attack.
Titled Douluos of the academy were able to hold their own against these missiles, but the inner court disciples, the weaker ones that had stayed whereas the rest of the capable ones were at Heaven Dou City to help with the aftermaths, were quickly forced back onto the ground by the terrifying explosions of energy.
Fearsome explosions erupted one after another, but the figures that had risen up into the air managed to keep all of the soul missiles at bay, detonating them before they could land on the inner city.
More and more figures began to rise up into the air from both the inner city and the outer city. There were countless powerful beings in Shrek City, both from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. But there seems to be an innumerable number of missiles as well since the sky seem to be covered with them.
The powerful beings began detonating soul missiles one by one, and a sea of fireworks encompassed the entire sky above Shrek City.
Right at this moment, a series of figures rushed toward the Sea God's Island from the distance. They were none other than the other members of Shrek's Seven Monsters.
Right at this moment, a series of bright halos lit up, forming protective barriers. In the beginning, these barriers only appeared over the inner city, but they quickly began to appear in the outer city as well. The barriers rippled violently in the face of the powerful shockwaves, but they managed to keep the threat at bay. Ninth-grade soul missiles were weapons that were too powerful for even a major city's protective barriers to keep at bay. Soul missiles at or above the ninth grade were weapons that even Hyper Douluos wouldn't dare to face head-on and fortunately for them, not a single ninth grade missile
The Sea God's Pavilion.
The Sea God's Pavilion Master, Atlas Douluo Yun Ming stood at the top of the pavilion. Holy Spirit Douluo Yali stood beside him, and on his other side was Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue.
All three of them were casting their eyes into the sky, and Yun Ming finally understood why he'd been experiencing such a strong feeling of directionless unease. It turned out that the imminent tragedy that he sensed was going to befall Shrek City rather than anywhere else. Ya Li gripped tightly onto Yun Ming's hand. She couldn't even remember the last time that she had been this nervous.
All of them knew that the Holy Spirit Cult had to have more up their sleeves for them to dare to attack Shrek City and Fan Lin truly hoped that that was the reason why there were standing still and not doing anything.
"Times really have changed!" Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue chuckled coldly, "It seems that our Shrek City hasn't bared our fangs to the world for too long; even trash like these Evil Soul Masters dare to attack us now. Yun Ming, has our Shrek City's influence in the federation grown so weak already? How did all of these soul missiles get here? They were launched from inside the city! When did our Shrek City's defenses become so feeble?"
In the face of Long Yeyue's accusations, Yun Ming had no response.
Indeed, Shrek City had experienced peace for too long. Everyone had become convinced that the Infallible Shrek was truly infallible; who could've imagined that someone would dare to attack Shrek City?
Yun Ming was well aware of what it meant for the city to be attacked by so many soul missiles from such close range, and his hands balled up into tight fists.
However, he knew that he had to remain calm and control the entire situation. The enemy's attacks definitely wouldn't be limited to just this and he was waiting for the enemy to show up to directly take them out. Rushing out to take action might just make them fall into a trap. The Evil Soul Masters knew his strength and would not fight fairly.
...
Fan Lin rose into the air and immediately began to plan his actions. Currently, there were around 45 million people in the vicinity of Shrek and the attack range and were currently being protected by the barriers.
It was a miracle that none had died yet.
'Let's add more defence before locating the soul missile launchers and taking care of them.'
'It would still take Eighty Nine minutes to teleport all of them.'
'I don't think I have that much time."
'Spirit rings fusion.' My first three spirit rings fused to create a purplish green spirit ring.
'Martial soul fusion.' My martial soul fused with the newly fused ring. A dark green ring with purplish threads could be seen floating in front of me. I don't know why it's purple.
These were my two fusion skills and also what I had used to defeat the Titled Douluos.
The first fusion between my first three rings enhances the three rings abilities by 1.5 times. The second fusion of my martial soul and the previously fused ring provides what I called the ultimate ring and it increases all the abilities of the ring by 3 times more.
Lastly,
"Boundless vitality."
The red spirit ring lit up. This skill directly increases all the factors of the plant related soul skills by 425%.
My soul power absorbtion rate of my Superior energy body increases by 15 times. For those that didn't understand,
Currently my soul power absorbtion rate was 150x per minute of what I normally had.
I used Crystallokinesis and enveloped the whole area. Be it the outer city or inner city. All living beings were captured and swallowed and were being carried to the centre of the inner Shrek city since I don't have time to search for each individual to teleport.
Found them!
I crystallized all the missile launchers and the missiles and set the ground the the next stage as ensued among the Powerful beings who looked at the situation with partial shock and lots of wary.
I may have not told them that I was on their side.
At the Sea God Island
This was most definitely a war that had been planned well in advance. That's right, it was a war, not just a terrorist attack. This was a disaster that had struck without any premonition.
Every city had all types of advanced sensory devices that could detect explosives, and if things like soul missiles were to be discovered, they had to be immediately taken care of by the city's officials.
However, so many high-grade soul missiles had appeared in Shrek City, the so-called infallible Shrek; what did that entail?
It entailed that the enemy had ways to breach Shrek City's defenses, and that Shrek City was no longer infallible.
Yun Ming suddenly understood everything now. The terrorist attack launched against Heaven Dou City had drawn everyone's attention, and both the Tang Sect, as well as Shrek Academy, had deployed many powerful beings to the city. However, the ultimate target of the enemy was never Heaven Dou City.
After all, Heaven Dou City didn't pose much of a threat to the Holy Spirit Cult, but Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were an entirely different story.
This had been the enemy's ultimate target all along!
"I'll go!" Yali yelled before attempting to rush out, only to be held back by Yun Ming.
This definitely wasn't the extent of the enemy's attacks. Both Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect headquarters were situated in the inner city. The outer city was being severely ravaged by these attacks, but this still wasn't enough to truly harm Shrek City's foundation.
As such, this was definitely not the end. If all of them were to panic and make rash decisions now, they'd only be falling into the enemy's trap and even more severe disasters will follow.
"Comrades of the Tang Sect, please save our injured citizens. I leave the outer city to you." Yun Ming's voice traveled far into the distance.
Light suddenly flashed, and Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue rose up into the air. She was unable to keep watching any longer.
...
Tang Wulin and the others had all turned deathly pale as they stood on the Sea God's Island.
They could also hear the explosions taking place in the outer city and see the mushroom clouds rising up into the air in the distance.
Their minds had gone completely blank. This was something completely unimaginable to them. They didn't even know where their enemy was, yet they were already afflicted by such a terrifying disaster.
The energy storm in the air still hadn't dissipated, and those mushroom clouds were undoubtedly taking countless lives.
Right at this moment, a voice that was filled with authority rang out beside their ears. "Come to the Sea God's Pavilion!"
Tang Wulin shuddered and immediately returned to his senses. He waved a hand toward his friends, and all of them quickly rushed toward the Sea God's Pavilion.
The Sea God's Island wasn't very large, so they quickly arrived at the Sea God's Pavilion, where they were met by Atlas Douluo Yun Ming and Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li.
Yun Ming appeared to be very calm, as if nothing were happening at all. Following the arrival of Tang Wulin and the others, he stepped forward, and commanded, "From now on, no matter what happens, stay in the Sea God's Pavilion. Go."
Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this. "Pavilion Master, please allow us to help the academy in some way. We..."
"Shut up and get inside!" Yun Ming roared. He waved a hand through the air, and a terrifying burst of energy swept up the seven of them before dumping them into the Sea God's Pavilion.
"Remember that all of you represent the future of the academy. If the worst-case scenario happens today, you will be the foundation upon which the academy is rebuilt." Yun Ming's voice reverberated within everyone's ears.
Tang Wulin's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. Was the situation that bad already?
Right at this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly discovered that everything outside had turned green without any premonition. The entire sky had turned green.
Yun Ming saw that as well. So did the rest of the ones that were no in the green. All around them and coming towards them was flood of green crystals and in them were people. All of them were transported to the centre of the Shrek City.
There were many who recognised the green crystal flood. How could they forget the madman that had beaten them until no one was left standing.
For a moment, noises stopped. The soul missiles all sealed and transferring somewhere. The energy shield that was erected by the city. Also covered. The people who were screaming to avoid the crystal flood, now swept in it, their voices drowning as they were taken to the centre or grouped together and disappearing.
The opportunistic people surrounding Shrek, also captured and being grouped and disappearing.
"What is happening to them?"
Someone muttered.
"Teleport. They are being moved. We don't know where though."
Another person answered, likely a space related expert to tell that it was teleportation and not them being digested into the crystals.
Suddenly, the sky turned purple.
