Niu Tian's words ultimately reminded Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui, and Tang Wei, among others.
Despair had already spread throughout the alliance of the Haotian Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult, and Shrek Academy.
They had clearly seen the dawn of victory, but the arrival of Di Tian and the Soul Beast Clan drastically changed the situation.
They were now driven into a corner, with no way out.
Mu En watched helplessly as the faint golden light emanating from the Golden Ancient Tree fell upon the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
Under the Golden Ancient Tree's influence, their injuries were instantly and completely healed.
Watching this unfold, Mu En's expression was incredibly complex.
Even though he now knew the Golden Ancient Tree's existence was a complete and utter scheme by Shrek Academy.
It's highly likely that Tang San, the Sea God from ten thousand years ago, wanted all the strong members of Shrek Academy to dedicate their souls to the Golden Tree after death, thus strengthening the Golden Tree's power and plotting something unknown.
Even so, seeing that the power of the Golden Tree was already being used by the Sun Moon Empire, Mu En still felt something was amiss.
"Is everything destined to end completely at this moment?"
"Shrek Academy, with its ten thousand-year heritage, is ultimately going to be extinguished."
"Shrek's ancestors, I have disappointed you."
A trace of sorrow flashed in Mu En's eyes, pained by the end of Shrek Academy's legacy and by the wasted effort of all these years.
If he had known things would turn out this way,
even if his battle with Du Bisi had caused irreparable damage to his body, he would never have relinquished power.
Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe not only failed to live up to his trust,
but also caused him and Shrek Academy to suffer a crushing defeat.
In these final moments of his life, Mu En's heart was filled with regret.
He regretted knowing these guys were unreliable, yet still hoping they would change.
Why hadn't he been ruthless enough to expel Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, and the other useless individuals from the Sea God Pavilion?
If it weren't for their hard work, Shrek Academy wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.
Mu En sighed deeply, looking at the four-word battle armor master before him, and said softly,
"Let the name of Dragon God Douluo Mu En shine one last time."
The outcome was already irreversible, and he had already let Bei Bei leave. Even if he died in this war, the Golden Sacred Dragon lineage could at least continue.
Without hesitation, Mu En prepared for one last, exhilarating battle, wanting to end his life in glory.
Mu En wasn't alone in this thought.
Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, like Mu En now, knowing they had no chance of survival, didn't choose to retreat or run away, but instead resolved to fight the Sun Moon Empire's soul masters and ferocious beasts to the death.
Ye Xishui had already stated that she would rather die a glorious death than a miserable one.
This war, which gathered the strongest warriors from the entire Douluo Continent, undoubtedly provided Ye Xishui with the perfect stage.
As for Long Xiaoyao, his only descendant, Yan Shaozhe, had already been killed by Qian Duoduo.
If Ye Xishui were to fall into the hands of these people, then his life would be meaningless.
It's no exaggeration to say that Long Xiaoyao initially possessed an unbridled freedom.
However, ever since meeting Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao's remaining life revolved around only three words: Ye Xishui.
While one could call Long Xiaoyao a blatant simp, wasn't he also enjoying it?
Tang Wei and the other elders of the Clear Sky Sect were unwilling to die like this.
They had finally broken free from their ancestral vow of seclusion and successfully established the Clear Sky Empire on the Douluo Continent as members of the Tang family.
They had clearly seen the hope of replacing the Sun Moon Empire and becoming the supreme rulers of the Douluo Continent.
But the arrival of the Soul Beast Clan shattered their hopes completely. How could Tang Wei and the others accept this?
In this despair, the Tang family descended into a final frenzy.
Tang Wei led the elders of the Clear Sky Empire in a desperate counterattack against the Sun Moon Empire and the Soul Beast Clan,
chanting slogans incessantly.
"Kill all those damned Sun Moon Empire Soul Masters, and those lowly Soul Beasts!"
"Only we, the Tang family, are the true masters of this continent!"
"Want to rebuild the glory of the Tang family? If so, then charge forward and kill these bastards!"
Tang Wei tried every means to incite the Tang family members, making them rush forward recklessly.
Although a large number of people knew that things had developed to this point and there was no way to turn back, and their Clear Sky Sect was about to be completely defeated,
there were still some brainless individuals who were successfully incited by Tang Wei.
They grabbed the Clear Sky Hammer and charged forward madly.
Unfortunately, their heroic actions had no effect whatsoever against the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Devices. Instead, they became easy prey, being harvested wave after wave.
Watching his familiar juniors die, Tang Wei's eyes showed no fluctuation. He didn't care about their lives at all.
To be precise, in Tang Wei's eyes at this moment, the only purpose of these juniors was to use their lives to create a way for him to survive.
Using their lives as bait, he drew the attention of the Sun Moon Empire and the Soul Beast Clan, giving himself the chance to escape.
Even the other two elders, both Limit Douluo level, were used as expendable resources by Tang Wei.
Tang Wei repeatedly told them that he would fight the Sun Moon Empire and the Soul Beast Clan to the death.
Even if they died, they would not dishonor the Tang family's prestige before their demise.
Even though their Clear Sky Sect had been in seclusion for thousands of years,
their re-emergence was originally intended to make them the rulers of the Douluo Continent.
Even if they ultimately failed, they absolutely could not lose the bloodthirstiness of the Clear Sky Hammer.
It can only be said that Tang Wei was quite capable of inciting others to their deaths.
Even the two Limit Douluo level elders did not realize Tang Wei's true intentions at all.
After seeing those two use the Clear Sky Sect's Exploding Ring Technique and start fighting desperately with the enemy, Tang Wei did not hesitate for a moment and immediately fled into the distance.
"I will not let you down. With me here, the Tang family's legacy and the Clear Sky Hammer will never be severed!"
Just when Tang Wei thought he had a chance to escape, the Snow Empress, in her Ice and Snow Maiden form, directly blocked his path.
