Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

"Fantastic! We've all been waiting for this moment for far too long already. No one is going to be able to stop us this time."

He leaped into the deep pit behind him as he spoke, descending in free fall for several kilometers before eerie green flames ignited around his body to slow his momentum, allowing for a composed landing.

Dark purple light was currently radiating from the ground beneath his feet, and it was extremely faint, providing a magical atmosphere.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that those were a series of soul formations, and what was quite harrowing was that those formations contained a purplish-black liquid that was giving off a rank odor.

The liquid was congealed blood, and there was enough of it to fill all of the formations in this giant pit, which had a diameter of over a kilometer!

There was no wind here, but a sinister aura seemed to be constantly spreading through the area.

At the very center of the giant pit stood a five-level altar, at the top of which sat a person.

The person's body was concealed within a large black cloak, and there was barely any light in this underground world, so one could easily miss her if they weren't looking carefully.

Her head was slightly lowered, and there were faint black currents swirling around her. Even though she was merely seated on the spot, it was as if she were the core of the universe.

Ghost Emperor hurriedly rushed forward before extending a bow toward the altar. "Demon Sovereign, everything is ready, and we're awaiting further instruction from you."

"Good..." A melodious voice rang out in response, but in the next instant, the voice echoed throughout the entire space like a tsunami wave, sweeping up a string of air currents that surged out of the pit as a tornado.

Ghost Emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he waited patiently in silence.

"You can begin. This world once ruined me, so it's time for me to ruin this world."

Her body slowly levitated into mid-air as she spoke, and she straightened her legs as she rose to a standing position. Beneath the black cloak, the outline of a tall and slender body could be seen, but it was impossible to see any of her facial features.

There was most likely no one who could've guessed that the most powerful being of the Holy Spirit Cult would be a woman.

She slowly raised her hands up from her sides, revealing her hands to be riddled with strange dark purple demonic patterns.

Bright purple light began to glow from her hands, and she slowly chanted, "I borrow the power of the sky to seal the heavens, and I borrow the power of the earth to connect with destruction."

As she chanted, the giant formation beneath her feet began to rapidly spread into the distance with the altar at its center, transforming into countless dark purple projections. The entire underground world seemed to have sprung to life, and the ghastly howls of countless malicious spirits reverberated through the entire underground world.

Ghost Emperor and Demon Sovereign were the only people present here, and nine dark green skulls emerged from Ghost Emperor's body before revolving around him, chomping and devouring all of the malicious spirits that were attempting to attack him.

Meanwhile, Ghost Emperor stood still on the spot with a blissful expression. This was the world that he loved the most.

The earth began to rumble, and a series of halos appeared on the altar beneath Demon Sovereign's feet.

There were seven halos, each of which was a color of the rainbow, but they were masked under a layer of darkness.

The sky directly above the giant pit suddenly darkened, and it was as if an independent world had been created here. Right at this moment, a huge pillar of dark purple light erupted out of the pit directly into the heavens.

A deranged look appeared in Ghost Emperor's eyes. "With the blood of 100,000 people as a sacrifice and Demon Sovereign's power, today is the day that we welcome a new world order. From this moment forth, the mighty Demon Sovereign has become a god and now possesses the power of a god. O great Demon Sovereign, lead us to the future, to the path that'll destroy this entire world."

"That's right, it's time to open up the path to destroy this world," Demon Sovereign declared, "It's a pity that you're no longer here, Tang San. Otherwise, I'd be sure to tear you to countless shreds to avenge my husband. The humans that you protected will all perish as part of my revenge, and I'm going to send this entire world to join my husband in the afterlife. I really hope you'll come back someday; I wonder what your reaction will be when you see all of this, hahahahahaha!" 

"Rumble, rumble!" The entire world of snow and ice was trembling, and massive ice shelves began to collapse as a series of rifts began to appear deep within the giant pit, releasing a terrifying aura.

...... 

At Shrek Academy. 

Tang Wulin stretched lazily as an excited smile appeared on his face.

He had finally completed another piece of battle armor for himself.

He could clearly feel that with each piece of Golden Dragon Moon Song battle armor he completed, his power would be enhanced dramatically.

However, the remaining pieces of battle armor were quite large, thereby increasing the difficulty of the forging process, and for some the most difficult pieces, he would perhaps be unable to complete one even over a span of two weeks.

Half a year had passed since Eternal Heaven had been captured, and during this time, Shrek Academy had been developing in a steady and peaceful manner.

Aside from Tang Wulin, all of Shrek’s Seven Monsters had gone into seclusion at one point or another.

Ye Xinglan was consolidating her sword essence, Yuanen Yehui was working on improving the cohesion between her two martial souls, and Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie preparing for Titled Douluo breakthroughs. Xu Lizhi had gone to the Seven Saint Paradise to better experience the powers of life and destruction, while Xu Xiaoyao was cultivating on the stargazing platform.

Ever since she had unveiled her powers as the number control-system Soul Master under the starry heavens, she had been pushing herself even harder than before.

All of their suits of four-word battle armor had been complete during the past half a year, and Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Moon Song was also only missing a very small portion.

It was time!

Tang Wulin changed into a set of vintage robes and strode out of his forging workshop.

The robe belonged to the Sea God's Pavilion Master, and only during Sea God's Pavilion meetings did he need to wear it.

The robe was of a dark green color with golden embroidery, and at on the chest was a golden trident symbol to commemorate the leader of the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters and the founder of the Tang Sect, Sea God Tang San. He was the one that the Sea God's Pavilion had been named after.

The past Sea God's Pavilion had been destroyed, and the current Sea God's Pavilion was set up in an area not far away from the main school building beside the Sea God's Lake.

It had been constructed in the exact same style as the previous one, but it was missing the ancient Golden Tree.

The tree of life had constantly been growing at a slow rate in the Sea God's Lake, and the lake was already teeming with life.

The deathly energy had all been sucked away by the Seven Saint Paradise, and the ecosystem was completely balanced. The seeds of the seven immortal plants were also under the lake, and they had sprouted around the tree of life.

Along with the tree of life, they were growing by absorbing the life energy present in the air in the Sea God's Lake. However, their rate of growth was still very slow, and it would take them a long time to truly grow to maturity.

Upon arriving at the Sea God's Pavilion, Shrek's Six Monsters were already present, and all of them were raring to go.

As Tang Wulin strode into the room, everyone stood up in unison.
