"Class 12! You actually dare to defy the will of heaven and earth, launching Class 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells!"
Yun Ming's roar shook the heavens, his voice carrying unbelievable fury and towering killing intent.
Above Shrek Academy, he watched with his own eyes as that destructive purple pillar of light descended from the firmament, like the arrival of doomsday judgment.
Terrifying energy fluctuations exploded madly above the entire Shrek Academy, twisting space itself.
The Atlas Spear instantly erupted with brilliant radiance. The golden light released from the Golden Ancient Tree below suddenly converged, condensing onto Yun Ming.
In an instant, Yun Ming's entire body turned into brilliant gold. Thick, luxurious four-word battle armor covered his entire body.
At this moment, he was like a war god descending, emitting heart-chilling pressure.
"Hehehe..."
The Ghost Emperor's wild laughter rang through the night sky. "To destroy Shrek, any price is worth paying!"
Around the Golden Ancient Tree, everything on Sea God Island was rapidly disintegrating.
Under that terrifying purple light's illumination, buildings, trees, even the air itself were twisting and dissolving.
Not far away, another green light lit up. Terrifying energy fluctuations erupted from the Tang Sect headquarters' location.
The entire Shrek City had become a world of death.
Viewed from the sky, one could see one green and one purple expanding vortexes madly devouring everything around them.
These two destructive energy fields were continuously expanding outward. Where they passed, all things were annihilated.
The entire inner city of Shrek was rapidly disappearing from this world.
All protective measures became meaningless before that green and purple destructive energy. Who knew how many lives instantly perished in that terrifying energy storm's ravaging.
The number one academy on the Douluo Continent, the once-glorious sun-never-sets Shrek, was falling!
The Golden Ancient Tree trembled violently. Its outer golden layer continuously peeled away under that terrifying purple light's impact.
The tree trunk emitted groans of unbearable burden, as if enduring unimaginable pain.
"Yun Ming..."
Elder Jin's weak voice rang out. "I owe you nothing, nor do I owe Shrek Academy anything."
Yun Ming's body shook violently upon hearing this.
He could feel the Golden Ancient Tree rapidly weakening, that life source that had sustained Shrek Academy for ten thousand years was drying up.
"Elder Jin!"
Pain filled Yun Ming's voice, and the Atlas Spear in his hand erupted with unprecedented light.
He glared at the Ghost Emperor in the air, his eyes blood-red: "Today's enmity, I, Yun Ming, shall repay a hundredfold!"
The Ghost Emperor only smiled coldly: "Pity, you won't live to see that day."
The purple and green energy vortexes continued expanding, gradually connecting into one.
Within Shrek City, cries, explosions, and the sounds of collapsing buildings intertwined into a doomsday elegy.
Ya Li's figure appeared beside Yun Ming. Sacred healing light bloomed, attempting to resist that destructive energy.
But before the terrifying power of Class 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells, even her healing light seemed so insignificant.
"Brother Ming..."
Ya Li's voice trembled slightly.
Yun Ming gripped her hand tightly, his gaze firm: "No matter what, I will fight until the final moment."
In the Sea God Pavilion, Luo Guixing and the others watched this apocalyptic scene through the windows, grief filling every face.
"Qing, the time has come. You should return." A voice suddenly rang in Yun Ming's mind.
Yun Ming was slightly stunned. What voice was this?
In that instant, countless sealed memories flooded in like tidal waves. In mere seconds, he recalled all the sealed past events.
"Finally... returned..." Yun Ming's voice was low, his gaze cold.
His eyes suddenly became profound, and the aura around him underwent heaven-shaking changes.
"This is?"
The Ghost Emperor, Dark Hummingbird, and Dark Blood Demon all sensed Yun Ming's change, yet couldn't describe what it was.
Ya Li looked at him in surprise: "Brother Ming, you..."
"Ya Li, remember what you promised me." Yun Ming suddenly spoke, his tone calm.
"What...? Brother Ming, no!"
Ya Li was stunned, then suddenly remembered something, her face changing drastically.
Yun Ming's face was calm, endless sorrow flashing in his eyes.
He thought to himself: "It's time to give myself, to give the identity of Yun Ming, a perfect curtain call."
Yun Ming, as the contemporary Pavilion Master of Sea God Pavilion, had his own mission.
And at this moment, he himself had to make a choice.
Class 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells—this was an attack that could not be resisted no matter what.
In the present world, only three of these ultimate weapons had been developed in total.
In all of human history, there were only three. For these three Class 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells, the Sun-Moon Federation had made countless efforts to finally develop them successfully.
Later, the Sun-Moon Federation announced they would cease continued development of this super-destructive weapon.
With the Douluo Continent's resources, it was impossible to produce a fourth.
These three Class 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells were born two thousand years ago. After their birth, all of humanity's technology stagnated for a thousand years, precisely because the resources consumed were too vast.
These three Class 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells were guarded by the Federation in the strictest manner, as the ultimate weapons of the entire Douluo Continent.
They had another title: Godslayer!
That is to say, these three Fixed Soul Guidance Shells were believed to possess the ability to slay gods. Their power could be imagined.
Who could have imagined that such terrifying existences—
The ultimate weapons of the entire Douluo Continent—would appear here, appear at Shrek Academy, and even appear at the Tang Sect.
The Holy Spirit Cult, through sacrificial strengthening, had deployed two Class 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells.
"Godslayer—Heaven-Destroying Earth-Annihilating, Godslayer—Heaven-and-Earth-Devouring."
The power of these two Class 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells was enough to completely annihilate the entire Shrek City!
"Atlas, Stab the Sun!"
Yun Ming roared. The four-word battle armor on his body suddenly burned intensely.
Dazzling golden light completely enveloped Yun Ming, and a golden beam erupted vigorously.
Beams of golden light began to appear. These golden light beams intertwined and outlined each other, forming a strange, enormous rune.
After this rune appeared, at this moment, the entire space suddenly seemed to stand still.
The faces of the Ghost Emperor's trio changed drastically. Without hesitation, they turned and fled into the distance.
They sensed a fatal threat—that was the breath of death.
A hundred miles away, the Ghost Emperor's face was gloomy as he spat out two words from his mouth: "Godhood!"
Dark Hummingbird and Dark Blood Demon looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
"How is this possible..."
Dark Hummingbird's voice trembled slightly.
The Ghost Emperor stared fixedly at that golden figure in the distance, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes: "We underestimated Yun Ming."
