Chapter 22: True Martial God
The Jade Spear fell to the ground, and the earth quaked violently. Amber light flashed, resonating endlessly.
With just one wave of resonance, the entire Shrek City was obliterated, leaving the people standing in place with blank expressions.
The shields on their bodies effectively protected their physical forms and souls, but they could not shield their spirits.
Such a terrifying scene was profoundly impactful as a mental attack!
"Old... The villa the old man just bought!" Wu Yun's mouth hung slightly open, and he stopped speaking.
This villa had naturally been purchased for Zhongli to live in, but now it was destroyed in an instant.
Gazing at the purgatory-like scene before him and then at the demonic figure in the sky, Wu Yun swallowed hard, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
He could see that Zhongli was extraordinary and dared not offend him in the slightest.
Shrek Academy had repeatedly crossed Zhongli's bottom line, and they truly deserved their fate!
"I must sever all ties with Shrek, or else my IQ will suffer, and I won't even know how I died."
Those shielded were fortunate, protected by Zhongli, though the economic losses from the battle were unavoidable.
The Jade Spear struck the ground, and a meteor descended from the sky.
The trajectory of the falling meteor pointed directly at Shrek Academy.
If this "meteorite" were to land there, the entire academy would be annihilated in an instant.
Tens of thousands of years of heritage, tens of thousands of years of accumulation, would be wiped out in a moment.
"You dare!!"
A low roar echoed, and a majestic blue-haired figure wielding a trident appeared above Shrek Academy.
With his arrival, the entire Shrek Academy seemed to gain a surge of energy.
"Oh my God, it's the Sea God, Tang San, the Sea God!"
"We're saved!"
"That demon actually provoked the Sea God Ancestor!"
Some exclaimed, some shouted, and others pondered the meaning of life.
"That... Zhongli... Is he really the enemy?"
One person spoke weakly, his voice not loud but unusually piercing.
An academy teacher frowned, displeased, and said, "That demon destroyed all of Shrek City, and now he aims to destroy Shrek Academy. What is he if not the devil?"
"Yes... But he didn't harm the innocent..."
Hearing this, the academy teacher grew even angrier, pointing at the student who had spoken and said, "There's something wrong with your thinking?"
"If it weren't for my Shrek Academy, the Evil Soul Masters would have ravaged the continent..."
So the question is, who released the Evil Soul Masters back then?
No, the Lord is coming!
What appeared in the sky above Shrek Academy was not Tang San physical form, but the divine consciousness he had left within Wang Dong's body.
This divine consciousness was manifested with the help of the Ancient Tree of Life and the power accumulated within it by the previous pavilion masters of the Sea God Pavilion.
As these forces were mobilized, an extremely faint voice echoed in Zhongli's ears, faint and haunting, "Help me... Please save me..."
Facing the descending meteor, Tang San frowned.
Now, he was merely a clone, a clone empowered by the Ancient Tree of Life.
His strength was naturally far inferior to that of his true body.
If he forcibly tried to stop this meteor, the power of his clone would be exhausted.
If he didn't stop it, his legacy in this world might come to an end.
"Can I stop it?"
Ten thousand years ago, he wasn't able to shatter a city wall, could he really stop this meteor...
After a moment of contemplation, Tang San channeled all his strength into the "Seagod Trident."
As the energy condensed, the trident erupted with a terrifying blue light.
Tang San aimed the Seagod Trident at the meteor and hurled it, a smug glint flashing in his eyes.
With this full-powered strike, he was certain he could destroy the meteor...
But the next moment, Tang San was stunned, and everyone in Shrek Academy, including all who witnessed it, were equally dumbfounded.
The Seagod Trident collided with the meteor, but it didn't create much of an impact. Instead, it instantly disintegrated into pure energy, dissipating into the air.
Tang San: "???"
Is this reasonable?
"It's over... Ancestor Tang San doesn't seem to be a match for him..."
Hearing such a voice, Tang San felt the words were too sharp, and his entire being felt uneasy.
What did it mean that he wasn't a match for the other party?
If he were here in his true form, how could that man be so rampant?
"This... This is not a power that should exist in this world!"
Tang San muttered, his pupils shrinking, the smile on his face freezing in place.
"God... An unknown god!"
This was undoubtedly an unknown god, with strength comparable to, or even surpassing, that of an ordinary first-level deity.
You must understand, by harnessing the power of the Ancient Tree of Life and the previous pavilion masters of the Sea God Pavilion, his clone possessed at least the strength of a peak second-level deity.
Yet, in the face of Zhongli's strike, he was utterly powerless and defeated in an instant.
Wasn't that the power of a god?
Below the god level, could such a terrifying attack exist?
It was too late, but it happened quickly. A pillar of blue light descended from the sky, landing squarely on the meteor.
This was the physical trident, Tang San's true divine artifact!
The meteor and the Poseidon Trident collided, and the latter descended faster and with greater penetrating power.
However, instead of defeating the meteor, it only accelerated its descent.
With a resounding "bang~", the meteor struck the ground, sending dust flying into the air.
The amber elemental power erupted, nearly instantly "petrifying" all of Shrek Academy.
"Strange god, you've crossed the line!"
Although Tang San's body seethed with anger, he refrained from taking further action.
The divine realm has its own rules, and gods are forbidden from interfering directly in the affairs of the lower realm.
But this time, Tang San dared to act boldly because Zhongli was no ordinary being, he was a god with divine combat power.
Zhongli made a casual gesture, and a divine throne materialized behind him.
He sat upon it unhurriedly, his figure gradually merging with the phantom behind him.
He turned his head slightly, glancing at Tang San, and remained silent.
If you are the victor, you don't need to smile.
Most losers are always the ones smiling.
"Obviously, you acted first. How is Zhongli crossing the line?"
At that moment, Paimon flew to Zhongli's side and pointed at Tang San's nose, accusing him.
"Besides, Zhongli is the Martial God. How dare you provoke the Martial God? It's a miracle he hasn't killed you!"
For some reason, Paimon couldn't help but feel that this blue-haired "youth" had a death wish!
Martial God...
"Hmmm..."
The "strong" ones present instinctively thought of one person: Xian Lin'er, a level 94 Title Douluo with the title: Martial God.
When the real Martial God met the fake, this so-called Martial God Douluo was instantly suppressed, utterly powerless to resist.
"Xian Lin'er has walked into the line of fire. How dare she, a fake Martial God, call herself the Martial God Douluo…"
{Here I am using Martial God though Zhongli's title is Warrior God but for Douluo MARTIAL God fits better. So give me your thoughts}
