As the golden dragon claw appeared, another part of the sky was suddenly covered with clouds, and lightning boomed across the sky. In an instant, another rift tore open! This time, a black dragon claw burst from the rift, radiating a terrifying killing intent, descending rapidly toward the land below!
"Roar!"
The dragon's roar was deafening. In a flash, the golden and black dragon claws seemed to be heading toward Shui Wuya. However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that the golden dragon claw was being pursued by the black dragon claw.
"Outrageous!"
This sudden turn of events enraged Shui Yuanchen, and he let out a furious shout.
Immediately, he channeled his soul power, creating a blood-red barrier to protect Shui Wuya. He then gestured, summoning nine soul spirits. But just as he was about to attack the golden dragon claw, he noticed that its target wasn't Shui Wuya—it was Xuanzi, who was nearby.
"Swish!"
A violent gust of wind arose as the golden dragon claw rushed forward, seizing Xuanzi and swiftly retreating into the distant sky!
It became clear that the golden dragon claw's purpose wasn't to attack Shui Wuya but to abduct Xuanzi.
Simultaneously, the black dragon claw descended with overwhelming force. Shui Yuanchen, ignoring the golden dragon claw and Xuanzi, quickly charged at the black dragon claw with his nine soul spirits.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sky erupted with a series of thunderous crashes as Shui Yuanchen, relying on his formidable cultivation, managed to block the descending black dragon claw! However, just as everyone thought it was over, a massive black dragon with golden eyes emerged from the dark rift!
"Roar!"
The golden-eyed black dragon roared, sending a wave of intense dragon might across the land. The golden dragon claw, carrying Xuanzi, had retreated several thousand meters. But with the black dragon's roar, the golden claw shattered into countless golden fragments.
"Ugh!"
As the golden dragon claw shattered, far away in Shrek Academy, Mu En hovered above the Golden Tree, letting out a muffled groan.
His gaze was sharp, but his face turned pale.
"The real body has crossed over..."
Moments later, Mu En recovered his normal breath, but a cautious expression crept into his eyes. He had sensed Di Tian's intervention in the Evil Spirit Forest.
Originally, he intended to use the power of the Golden Tree to extract Xuanzi, but with the appearance of the golden-eyed black dragon king, Di Tian, his plan was ruined.
"Di Tian!"
After blocking the black dragon claw's strike, Shui Yuanchen's expression became grim as he stared at the massive dragon that had suddenly appeared in the sky.
Because the other party was no ordinary dragon but the top of the Ten Great Beasts—the Beast God Di Tian!
Di Tian's gaze was piercing; he had come here to probe the situation.
"Roar!"
In a flash of lightning, Di Tian didn't speak, but instead unleashed a golden beam from his mouth with a devastating aura of annihilation.
Shui Yuanchen didn't hesitate either. He transformed into his Martial Soul True Body, becoming a massive blood-soaked Ice Phoenix, and released a scarlet beam from his mouth to counter the golden beam.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The clash echoed across the land, creating shockwaves that rippled through the atmosphere.
However, Shui Yuanchen had already fought against the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Overlord, expending a significant amount of soul power. Then, when Shui Wuyah used a secret technique, he siphoned more soul power from Shui Yuanchen, leaving him weakened.
Thus, in this clash with Di Tian, Shui Yuanchen began to falter slightly.
"Rumble! Rumble!"
After holding on for a few dozen breaths, a massive explosion tore through the sky. The blast sent Di Tian, Shui Yuanchen, Long Xiaoyao, Xuanzi, and Snow Emperor flying at least a thousand meters away.
Long Xiaoyao and Xuanzi, who were watching from a distance, felt an overwhelming sense of shock. They couldn't believe that Di Tian, from the Star Dou Forest, would tear through space to appear in the Sun Moon Empire's territory!
"Roar!"
In an instant, the golden-eyed black dragon's roar filled the air. As Di Tian regained his footing, he rushed toward Shui Wuya, who was still protected by the blood-red barrier.
He had come to find out what was happening in the Evil Spirit Forest. Now, sensing the intense spiritual power emanating from Shui Wuya, he decided to eliminate him.
"Not good!"
Shui Yuanchen, thousands of meters away, saw that Di Tian was targeting Shui Wuya. His pupils contracted, and he no longer hesitated, using a secret technique to restore his peak strength.
But even so, Shui Yuanchen couldn't save Shui Wuya in time because Di Tian had already reached him!
As the black dragon claw struck with terrifying force, the blood-red barrier shattered!
At this critical moment in absorbing the soul spirit, Shui Wuya seemed oblivious to the outside world, still floating calmly in mid-air.
Just as the black dragon claw was about to crush Shui Wuya, a sinister and eerie laughter echoed through the sky.
Suddenly, a strange spatial distortion erupted in front of Shui Wuyah, and a blood-red figure materialized!
"Hey there, little guy! We meet again!"
It was Shui Songshan, with disheveled hair and clad in blood-red armor, exuding the aura of an Ultimate Douluo. His gaze toward Shui Wuya was filled with greed!
His extreme greed made him ignore the broader situation. With a wave of his hand, he reached out to grab Shui Wuya.
At the critical moment, Di Tian's black dragon claw finally struck down, but it landed on Shui Songshan's back instead!
"Boom!"
A thunderous crash echoed as Shui Songshan, about to grab Shui Wuya, took Di Tian's devastating strike to the back, instantly suffering severe injuries and coughing up a large mouthful of blood!
What just happened?!
Shui Songshan's eyes widened in shock as he struggled to turn and look behind him, where he saw the golden-eyed black dragon king soaring through the sky.
Di Tian!
Shui Songshan realized the situation and recognized Di Tian, understanding that his sudden appearance had inadvertently blocked Di Tian's lethal attack on Shui Wuya!
Shui Songshan was so frustrated that he almost coughed up more blood!
"Roar!"
Seeing his critical strike thwarted, Di Tian let out a furious roar, but at this moment, he couldn't continue his assault. A figure wrapped in intense killing intent had appeared above his head!
"Begone!"
Shui Yuanchen, now at peak strength, had disheveled hair, and his eyes turned crimson. His Blood Ice Domain engulfed Di Tian entirely.
Di Tian eyed Shui Yuanchen's fierce form with caution. He knew who these people were after arriving here—they were members of the Shui family!
Given this revelation, Di Tian relaxed a bit. As long as they weren't some new, powerful force on the continent, he had less to worry about.
The Shui family was an isolated clan and had never interfered in continental matters. They maintained this stance for thousands of years. Satisfied with this knowledge, Di Tian ceased hesitating and, amid the surrounding gusts of wind, leaped into the spatial rift, vanishing from sight.
Despite Shui Yuanchen appearing to be in a berserk state, he retained a clear mind. He didn't chase after Di Tian but instead turned his attention to the fallen Shui Songshan.
"Shui Songshan, how dare you!" Shui Yuanchen, now like a god of death, bellowed in rage and swiftly descended from the sky.
He grabbed Shui Songshan by the head with a fearsome grip, exerting immense suppressive force!
"Rumble!"
Around this time, Shui Wuya had finally absorbed the multicolored strands of light from the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Overlord. As his spirit power level skyrocketed, the space around him echoed with thunderous noise.
Shui Wuya opened his eyes. An 800,000-year-old crimson spirit ring rose from beneath his feet, and a half-inch spiritual eye appeared on his shoulder.
In that instant, Shui Wuya successfully completed his soul spirit fusion!
"Phew."
Shui Wuya exhaled slowly. His gaze then fixed on Shui Songshan.
Shui Songshan?
Shui Wuya looked at him with mild surprise. He recognized him as the Shui family traitor once imprisoned in the eighth layer of the Hell of Slaughter.
Though he'd been focused on soul spirit fusion, he was aware of everything happening outside. However, he trusted Shui Yuanchen to handle it, so he continued with his fusion process.
By this point, the suppressed Shui Songshan could no longer speak, but he sensed extreme killing intent in Shui Wuya's calm voice, filling his eyes with fear.
But just as everyone expected Shui Wuya to strike down Shui Songshan, he suddenly retracted his spirit power and spirit ring.
Looking toward Xuanzi's location in the sky, he spoke with a cold tone.
"Grand Elder, please inform the academy that I, Wuya, officially resign from Shrek Academy as of today."
The fact that Elder Mu only saved Xuanzi when the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Overlord attacked was enough to reveal a lot. It indicated where the academy's loyalty lay.
