Chapter 111: Bombing Shrek Truly Lives Up to Expectations!

On top of the massive skull, nine people sat cross-legged, each surrounded by nine soul rings.

At the very center, one figure stood out. His soul rings glowed with a terrifying combination: four black, four red, and one orange. He was none other than the true leader of the Holy Spirit Cult—Ghost Emperor.

Ever since his defeat at the hands of Yun Ming years ago, he had been waiting for an opportunity to strike back.

That opportunity had finally arrived—today!

"Yun Ming, my old friend, are you surprised? Is this unexpected?"

"Bet you never thought you'd see the day when Shrek Academy fell."

"But really, it's not that surprising."

"Your Shrek Academy has always been like a stick stirring up shit, standing right in the middle of the continent. Plenty of people want you dead, not just our Holy Spirit Cult."

"If that weren't the case, then tell me—how did a bunch of reviled evil soul masters like us get our hands on the so-called ultimate weapon of the Sun-Moon Federation? And not just one, but two Grade Twelve Fixed Soul Ammunition?"

"I wonder how many people across the continent are sitting at home right now, waiting for this wonderful news."

"Even Tang Sect—hah, they're just collateral damage caught in the crossfire of Shrek Academy's downfall."

"Tsk, bombing Shrek truly lives up to expectations, doesn't it?"

"Kekeke~"

"From this day forward, there will be no more Shrek Academy. No more Tang Sect."

Ghost Emperor spoke at length, not just because of his long-repressed, twisted desire for revenge, but also to shift the blame for the attack.

After all, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect's influence wasn't confined to Shrek City alone. When retribution came, the Holy Spirit Cult couldn't afford to take the full brunt of it alone.

At this moment, under the overwhelming pressure of the nine titled evil soul masters forming the Extinction Skull, the divine-slaying force of the two Grade Twelve Fixed Soul Ammunitions broke past Yun Ming and the Golden Ancient Tree's suppression, rapidly descending upon the city below.

Below them lay the heart of Shrek Academy—the inner court students, the outer court students, a gathering of the most talented soul masters of their generation from across the continent.

The future of Shrek Academy's revival depended on these students.

Yun Ming didn't know if he could protect them. All he knew was that he had to give everything he had.

He gazed at the colossal skull spanning a thousand meters in the sky, meeting the cold and mocking eyes of the evil soul masters upon it.

In that instant, a blinding golden light engulfed him, bursting forth with radiant brilliance.

Behind him, golden lines began to appear, intertwining and forming an intricate, mysterious symbol.

The moment this symbol emerged, the entire space froze. Even the nine evil soul masters atop the skull were momentarily stunned.

Ghost Emperor's expression darkened, and he immediately waved his right hand. The giant skull beneath him instantly retreated tens of thousands of meters, vanishing in a blink. His voice was grim as he spat out two words:

"God Position!"

Though he spoke in a low voice, his words clearly reached Di Tian's ears.

It was precisely because of Di Tian's presence that the chamber housing his original mural remained one of the few safe places amidst Shrek Academy's apocalypse.

Golden dragon eyes snapped open, gazing toward the heavens, their pupils shimmering with intensity.

Di Tian didn't act immediately. Instead, he observed—this was an extremely rare sight, the self-creation of a divine position.

Apart from the Life Seed, witnessing the complete collapse of a pseudo-divine position was the greatest insight he could gain from this event.

The golden symbol suspended in the sky fractured into countless threads, rapidly disintegrating. Golden light spread outward, enveloping all of Shrek City.

Purple-black, dark green, and golden light intertwined and clashed in midair, consuming each other in an endless cycle of collapse and destruction.

A dazzling spear light obliterated the Extinction Skull in the sky.

At this moment, a pseudo-divine position shattered, and a god fell.

"It's over."

Di Tian had witnessed the complete collapse of both a pseudo-divine position and an embryonic divine position.

With that, he tore open a space passage and departed for where he needed to be.

Shrek Academy's twenty-thousand-year accumulation, combined with the sacrifice of a god and the Golden Ancient Tree's efforts, still couldn't completely neutralize the divine-slaying power of the two Grade Twelve Fixed Soul Ammunitions.

The purple-black and dark green meteors plummeted toward the earth at breakneck speed.

Even after being weakened significantly, their combined force remained equivalent to the detonation of hundreds of Grade Nine Fixed Soul Ammunitions.

"BOOM—!"

Shrek City became a land of death.

From the sky, one could see two expanding whirlpools—one green, one purple—devouring everything in their path, spreading outward without end.

The entirety of Shrek's inner city was rapidly vanishing from existence.

All protective measures were rendered meaningless before the violet-black and dark green energy.

Everything—every building, every person—was consumed by the devastating storm of energy.

It wasn't a bloody scene—just pure, unrelenting despair.

Everything crumbled like paper, incinerated into ashes by an unstoppable blaze.

Though the divine-slaying energy continued to spread, it had weakened enough to give supreme experts time to react.

For example—Long Yeyue.

As an Ultimate Douluo, she neither chose to fight Ghost Emperor's Extinction Skull head-on nor to sacrifice herself to further dissipate the ammunition's power.

She chose a strategic retreat!

Someone had to take charge of rebuilding Shrek Academy. Yun Ming was dead—so she would bear that responsibility.

With her formidable power, she gathered many inner court students—including Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng—and fled before the divine-slaying force could engulf them.

Then there was Yali and the Shrek Seven Monsters, still within the Golden Ancient Tree's treehouse.

Yali was not skilled in combat. Her only chance of survival lay in the Golden Ancient Tree itself.

Though the tree had exhausted its energy accumulated over millennia, its trunk remained the hardest material in the world—stronger even than heavenly-forged metal.

In the final moments before impact, countless holy rays illuminated the tree, forming angelic figures that sang in divine chorus, channeling their power along its branches and sacrificing their own soul power to fill the tree's depletion.

However, when the divine-slaying force finally erupted, even the Golden Ancient Tree—tougher than heavenly-forged metal—began to fracture and disintegrate within mere seconds.

Wood splinters scattered.

"Thud! Thud!"

The weaker members of the Shrek Seven Monsters, now without the tree's protection, were instantly crushed to the ground by the overwhelming force.

A massive angelic figure shielded them at the last moment, barely keeping them alive.

And then, beneath the now-evaporated Sea God Lake—

Shrek Academy's emergency refuge, built three hundred meters underground over three thousand years ago, nestled within the Golden Ancient Tree's root system.

Even a rabbit prepares multiple escape routes—how could humans not do the same?

Harnessing the weight of the earth's natural power, this sanctuary could withstand the lingering force of the Grade Twelve Fixed Soul Ammunitions.

In the brief moments before disaster struck, over two hundred students and teachers made it into the shelter.

Among them were Wu Zhangkong, Wu Siduo, and countless future legends—a gathering of the most brilliant minds meant to be Shrek Academy's last hope for revival.

But in that instant—

That hope was extinguished.

"Roar—!"
