Douluo: I am the True Master

Welcome to our new Patron: Mitsogon!

------------------------------------------------------

At this moment, the earth groaned in sorrow, and all living beings fled in panic. 

As Mu En's most powerful soul skill, combined with his terrifying self-created technique, Dominion of Heaven, the power of this strike far exceeded that of an ordinary Level 9 soul-guided cannon blast. 

A thick cloud of smoke and dust obscured everything, preventing even Mu En from immediately pinpointing Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen's positions or conditions. 

Mu En narrowed his eyes slightly, attempting to confirm the situation. 

"Are they dead? There was no counterattack just now, but I have a feeling these two pests aren't so easily killed." 

Mu En scanned the area several times. Fortunately, the nearby soil was relatively damp, and the hazy smoke cleared quickly, revealing the horrifying scar Mu En had left on the land. 

The once-flat forest had been completely flattened by a massive handprint. The dense woods were gone, and the ground had been compressed downward by more than ten meters. 

But that wasn't the main point—the tips of the five fingers extended into five pitch-black abysses stretching over a kilometer long each, showcasing the sheer destructive power of Mu En's attack. 

However, Mu En was not satisfied with this outcome. "Did those two pests escape? Tsk!" 

Ending the battle like this was clearly unsatisfactory for Mu En, especially since he was fighting at the cost of his own life force. Now that the enemy had fled, and he had no idea where to go, it was infuriating. 

After a moment, Mu En sighed softly and prepared to seal himself again, attempting to prolong his survival a little longer. 

But in this brief interval, Mu En's keen sixth sense sent a jolt of alarm through his body! 

"Who's there?! Something is locking onto me!" 

Mu En hastily returned to his full strength and turned his gaze toward the source of the lock. 

The sensation of being locked onto originated at least five or six kilometers away. Even with Mu En's sharp vision, all he could see was a faint silvery-white dot glowing in the distance. 

But even with this limited information, Mu En had already deduced who was targeting him. 

"Damn it! It's Kong Deming's Level 10 soul-guided device attack! 

But why does this energy fluctuation feel much stronger than before? 

Even my Holy Dragon Claw combined with Dominion of Heaven might not withstand this head-on! No, I need to run!" 

In this moment, Mu En fully embodied the wisdom of knowing when to retreat. Spreading his dragon wings, he attempted to flee beyond Kong Deming's range of attack. 

Kong Deming, meanwhile, was channeling all his strength into controlling his Level 10 soul-guided device, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. 

Five or six kilometers was indeed a great distance—walking would take at least an hour for an ordinary person—but for a Title Douluo, it was merely a matter of a few breaths to cross. 

In the blink of an eye, Mu En had escaped to over ten kilometers away. 

From Kong Deming's position, Mu En was no longer visible. 

But even after fleeing ten kilometers, Mu En continued to accelerate, as he realized that this spiritual lock was still tracking him! 

"How is this possible? Even I don't possess the ability to lock onto someone from such a great distance. How did Kong Deming acquire such a spiritual capability?!" 

Though shocked, Mu En had no time to dwell on it. He flapped his wings with all his might, trying to put even more distance between them. 

However, Kong Deming, using himself as a relay station and guided by the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, had spent this time compressing and fusing the soul-guided rays of three hundred Level 8 soul mentors stationed in the vicinity. At this moment, he had finally prepared his ultimate attack. 

This attack, though immensely powerful, required a long preparation time. Moreover, while Level 8 soul mentors were elite, they couldn't directly intervene in battles involving unparalleled forces. Thus, at the start of the fight, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen had faced Mu En alone. 

Although Mu En's devastating attack had forced them to retreat in disarray, it also gave them ample time to prepare in secret. 

"Take this, Mu En! Your era has ended!!!" 

Kong Deming declared triumphantly within his heart. Simultaneously, the strongest Silver Moon Divine Light Wave erupted forth! 

The brilliance of the Silver Moon Divine Light Wave at this moment was blinding. The surrounding soul mentors were temporarily blinded, and even Kong Deming involuntarily shed tears from the intensity of the light. But none of this diminished his grandeur as he proclaimed his victory. 

The dazzling wave carried an overwhelming force, piercing through everything in its path—whether it was towering mountains or mighty walls. 

This near-light-speed wave reached Mu En's back almost instantly. 

It was the strongest attack beneath the level of gods. 

If described in terms of soul-guided devices, this attack would be equivalent to a Level 11 soul-guided weapon. In the original storyline, only Huo Yuhao, with his Ultimate Ice Mirror, managed to forcibly refract it into the sky. 

But Mu En didn't have such resources. 

Yet, the man who had created the awe-inspiring Dominion of Heaven was no coward who would simply flee. Facing this dire situation, Mu En's eyes filled with resolve as he turned around. 

"Ninth Soul Skill—Holy Dragon Claw Stacked with Dominion of Heaven!!!" 

With no way to evade, and no reason to, born for battle, until death do us part! 

At this moment, Mu En's mind was crystal clear. This strike—he considered it the strongest attack of his entire life. 

The terrifying heat of the Silver Moon Divine Light Wave collided with Mu En's overwhelmingly sharp and majestic soul power. Even the residual fluctuations of light and soul power were enough to shatter everything in their path. 

Though this was Mu En's peak performance, he was still forced to retreat step by step in the face of absolute superiority. 

After all, the Holy Dragon Claw was a burst of immense power, while the Silver Moon Divine Light Wave was a continuous surge of energy fueled by the combined soul-guided rays of three hundred Level 8 soul mentors. Their sustainability was incomparable. 

Finally, the phantom of the Holy Dragon Claw dissipated. 

The scorching Silver Moon Divine Light Wave struck Mu En directly. 

Before this overwhelming force, Mu En's True Body rapidly disintegrated, and his skin visibly burned away at a rapid pace. 

But Mu En's expression remained calm as he began to reflect on his glorious life. 

Ultimately, this final recollection settled on the image of a gentle woman. 

"It seems this is as far as I go. I'm sorry, Xishui. If there's a next life, I hope you won't meet someone like me." 

Silently murmuring these words, Mu En prepared to accept his fate, ready to disintegrate into ashes and return peacefully to the earth. 

But soon, he noticed something amiss. He had fallen to the ground, yet the light wave had not continued to incinerate him completely. 

"What's going on?" 

Mu En was puzzled. The light wave showed no signs of weakening, so why had it stopped prematurely? 

Mu En wanted to see what had happened, but he realized that his eyes had been blinded during the earlier burning. 

Still, as a Title Douluo, Mu En attempted to use his spiritual perception to understand the situation. 

At this moment, a tall and imposing figure stood before him.
