Knowing this was their final dance,
Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui fought with their lives on the line, unleashing their strongest power in centuries.
Even so, facing the combined onslaught of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Masters and the ferocious beasts of the Soul Beast race, they were utterly overwhelmed. Under the
combined attack of the Soul Masters and the beasts, Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui were forced into a relentless retreat, utterly powerless to retaliate.
"Bang!!!"
After being knocked back again, Mu En took two deep breaths, looking up at the four-word Battle Armor Master opposite him.
"So, there's still no hope?"
"Perhaps Shrek Academy made a mistake from the very beginning. As an academy, Shrek Academy shouldn't have interfered in the grand scheme of Douluo Continent."
In his final moments, Mu En recalled Shrek Academy's actions over the past ten thousand years.
If only Shrek Academy had been more low-key and simply remained a proper academy.
Instead of what they did, wearing the guise of an academy while acting like a sect,
Shrek Academy would never have collapsed like this.
Even if the Sun Moon Empire unified the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy would still be allowed to continue existing.
The only fault lies with the Shrek Academy members for being too ambitious, wanting to meddle in everything.
Not to mention the Sun Moon Empire, even the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were already very dissatisfied with Shrek Academy and wanted to see it disappear.
Mu En had done everything he could.
At this point, all Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, could do was perish with Shrek Academy.
Moreover, compared to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Clear Sky Sect, perhaps the unification of the Douluo Continent by the Sun Moon Empire was actually a good thing for most people.
Mu En finally let go of his resentment and no longer harbored hostility towards the Sun Moon Empire, even though Shrek Academy was destroyed by them.
He abandoned the idea of burning his life force and soul power to fight to the death, taking several powerful figures with him.
Unlike Xuanzi, Mu En didn't choose self-destruction either. Instead, he took a deep look in the direction of Shrek Academy and ended his own life.
When they sensed that Mu En had completely lost his life force, the two four-word battle armor masters who were dealing with him were somewhat caught off guard by this action.
They had already prepared for Mu En to fight to the death,
thinking that even if Mu En self-destructed at the last moment, their four-word battle armor wouldn't cause them much harm.
But Mu En actually chose to commit suicide?
Was the death of this Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion Master a bit too hasty?
The two four-word battle armor masters exchanged a glance and immediately accepted the situation.
Now was not the time for them to judge Mu En's actions.
The most important thing now was to end this war completely in the shortest possible time and kill all the top experts of the Haotian Empire.
After this battle, the Sun Moon Empire would completely unify the entire Douluo Continent.
They absolutely could not allow the powerful figures of the Haotian Empire to survive, and they absolutely could not allow these dangerous individuals to wreak havoc on the Douluo Continent.
Upon discovering Mu En's death, the expressions of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, the former iron triangle, changed drastically.
Even though they had almost lost contact with Mu En after that incident,
and Ye Xishui had gradually become insane, with Long Xiaoyao constantly playing the role of a sycophant under Ye Xishui's manipulation,
their friendship from back then was undeniable
. Now, watching Mu En die before their very eyes, it would be impossible for Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui to remain indifferent.
"Mu En..."
Long Xiaoyao stared at Mu En's corpse, his eyes filled with an extremely complex expression.
He knew very well that after Mu En's death, it would be his and Ye Xishui's turn next.
Long Xiaoyao didn't care whether he survived or not; he only wanted Ye Xishui to live.
With this thought in mind, Long Xiaoyao desperately dodged the attacks of the four-word battle armor and the ferocious beasts, suddenly appearing beside Ye Xishui.
After helping Ye Xishui block the enemy's attacks, he looked at the goddess in his heart and said in a complicated tone,
"Xishui, let's go."
"I'll hold these people off. You live well."
Ye Xishui knew very well that Long Xiaoyao wasn't faking it.
When he said these words, Long Xiaoyao was absolutely willing to pay the price with his life to buy her a chance to live.
Ye Xishui had doubted many things in her life; to be precise, she had never trusted anyone from beginning to end.
But the only thing she had never doubted was Long Xiaoyao's feelings for her.
If it were before, Ye Xishui would have abandoned Long Xiaoyao without hesitation and run away alone.
But the Holy Spirit Cult is now destroyed, and her son and grandson have both died at the hands of the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire.
Even she herself is already so old.
Even if the Limit Douluo title allows her to live much longer than ordinary people, it doesn't grant her immortality like a god.
This means that even if she manages to escape this time, she still won't live for many more years.
Furthermore, would the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire allow her, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, to continue living?
Obviously not.
In her final moments, Ye Xishui finally stopped ignoring Long Xiaoyao's sacrifices as before.
This time, she finally faced the feelings for Long Xiaoyao buried deep in her heart.
Gone was her former indifference; a gentle smile appeared on her pale face as she looked at Long Xiaoyao and softly said,
"No, I won't run away anymore."
"Since we are destined to die, let's face death together this time."
Upon hearing Ye Xishui's words, a trace of moisture appeared in Long Xiaoyao's eyes.
Finally, he received a direct response from Ye Xishui.
Even if this relationship wouldn't last long, at least he had experienced it.
Long Xiaoyao stopped being a coward and directly grasped Ye Xishui's hand, softly saying,
"Alright, then let's die together, and may I meet you again in the next life!"
Ye Xishui covered her mouth and chuckled, her gentle demeanor completely belying her status as a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, whose life was on the line.
Ye Xishui looked at Long Xiaoyao, tightened her grip on his hand, and whispered,
"If we can meet again in the next life, I hope our fate won't be so cruel again."
Ignoring the four-word battle armor masters and ferocious beasts around them, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao's soul power began to vibrate after saying this.
Unlike Mu En's silent suicide
, this pair of goddesses and their devoted admirers, whose relationship was difficult to describe, chose to end their lives through self-destruction.
