Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 348 Shrek City Disappears from the Map

The vast plains, as if ravaged by nuclear bombs, are now eerily silent.

The corpses of the soul beasts piled up like mountains, but even more were utter nothingness, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Charred limbs, broken entrails, bloodstained fur, and cold scales were everywhere.

The severely wounded but not yet dead soul beasts let out painful and desperate cries, their sounds particularly piercing and desolate on the deathly silent battlefield.

The once surging and unstoppable beast tide has now been reduced to a few scattered survivors, terrified and wandering on the very edge of the battlefield. They have lost all will to fight, and all that remains in their eyes is the most primal fear.

The Star Dou Great Forest, which had accumulated its core strength and elite forces of countless soul beast clans over many years, suffered heavy losses and was severely weakened in this unexpected disaster. The ferocity of the disaster far exceeded the sum of the previous bloody battles with the Shrek City defense forces.

"Oh? There were a few slightly stronger ants that managed to escape being crushed."

Huanlong yawned lazily, as if he had just finished a trivial task.

She then casually extended her finger, and at her fingertip, the terrifying purplish-black destructive energy once again highly concentrated, precisely locking onto the remaining ferocious beasts such as Bi Ji and Xiong Jun below, as well as the terrified remnants of the soul beast army further away.

Her original intention was to completely erase the city and everything around it that was an eyesore.

The self-destruction of Yan Shaozhe and the others, though heroic, was ultimately futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It only slightly weakened the power of the destructive star fragments, allowing Biji and the other ferocious beasts to survive and avoid being completely annihilated.

In a sense, they should perhaps thank those dying humans for their struggle.

Feeling the terrifying energy, like the gaze of death, locking onto her at an unprecedented speed, Bi Ji's eyes filled with utter despair. Xiong Jun let out a roar of unwilling anger but could not move. The mental fluctuations of the Demon King were filled with fear. All the remaining soul beasts froze in place, waiting for the final, inescapable end.

The fingertips of destruction are about to fall once more.

Just as the soul beast race was about to face its final, complete annihilation—

“Buzz——!!!”

In the distance, at the bottom of the Lake of Life, the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, a terrifying aura that had been forcibly suppressed for a long time, no less terrifying than the current illusion, suddenly erupted.

A dazzling silver-purple beam of light burst forth from the lake's surface, piercing the sky and painting the entire sky with a magnificent and majestic hue.

Within the pillar of light, a stunning silver figure tore through the sky, easily folding and traversing the surrounding space like a fragile curtain, instantly covering thousands of miles, and suddenly appearing above Shrek City, which had been transformed into a deep abyss.

She wore a silver dress that shimmered with a moonlit glow, her figure graceful yet exuding supreme majesty.

His purple eyes, like the purest crystal, were clear and deep, yet now they burned with endless rage and icy killing intent that could freeze the soul.

Her long silver hair moved without wind, dancing wildly behind her. She was surrounded by the seven most fundamental elements: water, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, and space. They gently encircled her, as if she were the master of all elements in the world.

The space around her slightly distorted and collapsed, demonstrating the immense power she possessed.

It was none other than the ruler of all soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King—Gu Yuena.

She finally managed to break through the strange seal set up by Huanlong using the special environment of the Lake of Life, thanks to her own powerful strength. The moment she was freed, she tore through space and rushed to this tragic battlefield.

As far as the eye could see, there was the ruins of the former Shrek City below, which had been completely reduced to nothingness, leaving only a huge abyss black hole.

What the spirit sensed was the evil aura of the illusion, filled with cold silence and destructive desire, as well as the tragic scene of Di Tian being frozen in ice, Bi Ji and other ferocious beasts being seriously injured and dying, and the soul beast army being reduced to less than one-tenth.

All of this was like the hottest branding iron, burning Gu Yuena's heart and igniting her anger to its extreme.

"You manipulated the Heavenly Emperor, exploited my people, and trampled on life... You deserve to die!"

Gu Yuena didn't waste any words. Her purple eyes locked onto Huanlong above her, and she lightly raised her jade hand, seemingly casually waving it forward.

In an instant, the seven basic elemental forces surrounding him converged and merged at an unprecedented speed, no longer a simple superposition, but transformed into a surging, roaring torrent of chaotic energy that seemed capable of reshaping earth, water, fire, and wind.

This torrent, like a giant sword, carrying the fury of the ancient Yuena, fiercely slashed at the destructive radiance that Huanlong was about to unleash upon Biji and the other beasts.

"boom--!!!!!!!!"

Two truly divine forces collided once again at this moment.

The explosion was far louder than any before.

The sky seemed to have been ripped open with a huge, unhealable wound, revealing the chaotic, churning void behind it.

The already churning earth was ravaged once more, massive cracks spreading wildly like a spiderweb. The shockwaves added several more shocking, deep scars to the already devastated landscape. Huanlong's newly formed body, composed of golden trees, swayed slightly, a flicker of surprise in its eyes. But this surprise quickly transformed into a deeper sense of amusement and excitement, as if it had discovered an unexpected and fascinating toy.

"Oh? You actually managed to break through my seal? I underestimated you. You're quite strong indeed!"

Her voice carried a hint of languid praise, which only accentuated her condescending attitude.

Gu Yuena's beautiful figure trembled slightly in the air, and a solemn look appeared in her purple eyes.

After just one encounter, she clearly sensed how difficult her opponent was to deal with.

Huanlong's power attributes are extremely bizarre, filled with pure destructive will. Furthermore, it has occupied the Golden Tree, the life core of Douluo Star, as its physical body and energy source, possessing almost inexhaustible regenerative power and vitality.

She herself had just forcibly broken through the seal and had not yet recovered to her peak condition. If she were to fight to the death at this moment, the outcome would be uncertain. And most importantly... her soul beast clan, having suffered such heavy losses, could no longer afford any greater losses.

In just one clash, the two god-level beings standing at the pinnacle of this realm gained an unparalleled understanding of each other's strength and situation.

Gu Yuena gave the eerie figure a deep, cold look, then her gaze swept quickly over the pitiful, nearly decimated army of soul beasts below, as well as the ferocious beasts that had been terrified by Huanlong and were severely injured and weakened.

Decisions are made in an instant.

"All soul beasts, heed my command—"

Her voice was no longer loud, but it was incredibly clear and majestic, resounding directly into the deepest part of the souls of every surviving soul beast, carrying an unquestionable absolute will, forcibly suppressing all their fear and chaos.

"Retreat! Retreat to the Star Dou Great Forest immediately!"

As she gave the order, she waved her hand again with lightning speed, and a soft silver light rolled out like a bolt of lightning, instantly enveloping the frozen Di Tian's giant body and the severely injured and immobile Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, Wan Yao Wang and other ferocious beasts.

At the same time, the vast and majestic dragon might of the Silver Dragon King spread out, instantly clearing away the remaining destructive aura in the air, protecting the panicked and surviving soul beasts below, and escorting their retreat.

Huanlong stood above the abyss, making no move to stop them. She simply watched everything with a leisurely air, a mocking and playful smile on her eerie face, as if she were enjoying an escape drama that had nothing to do with her.

She has just acquired this new body with unlimited potential and needs time to adapt and fully integrate. Her primary goal has been perfectly achieved, so there is no need to fight to the death with this local powerhouse whose condition is unclear but who is obviously not easy to deal with.

With a flash of silver light, Gu Yuena stopped and, carrying several ferocious beasts, transformed into a silver meteor that tore through the sky, rushing headlong towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

The remaining soul beasts below, who had miraculously survived the destruction of the star but were already terrified by the illusion, grasped at the last straw. They disregarded their pain and exhaustion, letting out chaotic cries. Following the guidance of the silver light, they fled desperately towards the forest like a dam breaking, leaving behind the corpses of their kin and endless devastation.

Huanlong did not pursue, but simply hovered quietly in the void, contentedly feeling the vast life force within his new body and the destructive divine power that he could command with ease.

She looked down at the enormous black hole below, which had replaced the ancient city and seemed to lead to the abyss of hell, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"Shrek Academy was destroyed by the beast tide... Heh, when this news gets back to the human world, it will surely be quite interesting, won't it?"

She murmured to herself, but her gaze seemed to pierce through the distance, landing on the direction of the numerous, faintly breathing reinforcements that were rushing in from all directions.

Once the number one academy on the continent, the steel fortress for humanity to resist soul beasts, and the city of glory that has been passed down for ten thousand years, it has now been completely reduced to dust of history and has been ruthlessly erased from the map of Douluo Continent.

From the distant horizon, Gu Yuena's cold, piercing words, brimming with anger, could be faintly heard.

"Huanlong, the grudge we inflict today will be avenged a hundredfold in the future!"

Huanlong merely responded with a light laugh filled with amusement and disdain. His figure slowly became ethereal, eventually disappearing silently into the distorted void as if merging into ink painting, leaving behind only a desolate abyss and a monstrous wave about to engulf the continent.

"What...what's going on?!"

On the distant horizon, several streaks of light of different colors tore through the sky at an astonishing speed, abruptly stopping in the airspace where Shrek City was originally located.

As the light faded, several powerful figures emerged, radiating immense soul power and capable of walking on air.

The leader, wearing a battle robe with the star crown emblem unique to the Star Luo Empire's Royal Hall of Worship, was none other than the Star Luo Grand Elder, Level 98 Super Douluo—Sky Eagle Douluo Song Ying.

His sharp, hawk-like gaze was fixed on the ground below, his weathered face filled with unprecedented horror and disbelief.

What came into his view was not the magnificent city engulfed in flames and fierce battle he had imagined, but a gigantic, bottomless, pitch-black pit that seemed to lead straight to the abyss of hell.

The once majestic city walls, towering buildings, familiar streets... everything has vanished, leaving only a terrifying depression with smooth, glass-like edges, wisps of black smoke, and an aura of death, as well as the rock layers further away that have been melted into a bizarre glassy state by unimaginable high temperatures.

A scene of devastation, telling the story of the horrific events that had transpired here.
