Douluo Dalu: Starting Evolution as the Man-Faced Demon Spider Chapter 229: The Final Battle of Shrek

The fluctuation emitted by the red orb of light vanished in a flash, but all across Sun Moon City, several prominent figures simultaneously narrowed their eyes and turned their heads in the direction of Shrek Academy.

"Strange... With the strength of Silvermoon Douluo and the others, even they couldn’t handle the enemy?"

In the great hall, Zhu Jing’s heart tightened at the sight. "Fang Qi, should we retreat first? If we really wait for those people to arrive, even we might not be able to escape."

Fang Chang’s face remained expressionless as always. "No matter. Since we’re making a move today, we might as well make it a big one—to send a ssage to those bastards."

"But you... the Pearl Sea Pavilion you built with such effort might be gone after today."

"That doesn’t matter," Zhu Jing sighed. "Though I can’t deny I’m a little reluctant, at this point, just staying alive is enough for ."

Pearl Sea Pavilion could be said to be the result of her painstaking effort after reforming and cultivating anew, but ultimately, it was a human power. Her emotional attachnt to it wasn’t all that deep.

She rely lanted the loss of a perfect tool. As she said, compared to Pearl Sea Pavilion, her own life was far more important.

"Pavilion Master Zhu, there’s no escaping your fate today. Struggling further will only deepen your sins," Kong Deming still hadn’t given up trying to demoralize them, attempting to persuade her to surrender.

"Hmph? Sins? Did these people ever think about sins when they hunted my kin?"

Zhu Jing was born in a chaotic era. Most of the siblings born with her into the Sea Spider Clan had died at the hands of spider-hunting humans.

And that was while their influence in the sea was far greater than on land—one could only imagine how bad things were for spider clans living on land.

Now she had rely killed a few of her enemies, and these self-righteous humans dared to lecture her about sin?

Fang Chang had had enough of Kong Deming’s chatter. With another punch, he struck the Silvermoon Radiant Barrier.

The entire hall collapsed with a deafening crash, but the falling debris seed to have eyes, automatically avoiding Fang Chang and Zhu Jing.

Cough, cough cough. Kong Deming let out a fit of violent coughing, his face turning deathly pale. He fell to one knee, supporting himself on the ground. It was clear he had suffered serious internal injuries from the impact.

The other Soul Engineers inside the barrier were in even worse shape. Even with the protection of the radiant shield, they had been shaken unconscious.

Fang Chang’s true strength had long surpassed that of a typical God King. Even as just a projection, his power approached that of a mid-level second or third-tier god.

Even though the Silvermoon Radiant Barrier, a Rank 10 soul tool, granted Kong Deming so ability to contend with a Limit Douluo, he still wasn’t worth ntioning in Fang Chang’s eyes.

By now, fear had already surfaced in Silvermoon Douluo’s eyes. As a Rank 10 Soul Engineer, he considered himself one of the strongest in the world.

Even the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult might not be able to defeat him easily. Yet today, the mysterious man beside Zhu Jing had given him a harsh lesson.

Kong Deming struggled to maintain the barrier, trying to hold out until reinforcents arrived. But Fang Chang, understanding his intent, naturally wouldn’t let him have his way.

Raising both hands, flas and frost simultaneously burst into the air. In the next mont, an "Icefire Demon Spear" condensed in midair and shot straight at Kong Deming beneath the radiant barrier.

"Let’s see how long that turtle shell of yours can last." With a wave of his hand, the Icefire Demon Spear streaked forth with terrifying force.

Crack!

A loud tearing noise rang out as the radiant barrier, a Rank 10 soul tool, suddenly filled with countless cracks. The cracks rapidly multiplied until most of the shield shattered violently.

Kong Deming’s pupils shrank in shock as he watched the Icefire Demon Spear pierce through the shield and drive straight into his chest.

Blood stread from the corners of his mouth. His gaze toward Fang Chang grew lifeless. Then, his head lolled to the side, and he collapsed.

A Rank 10 Soul Engineer—the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Engineer community—had perished in an instant.

The scene left Zhu Jing speechless, her eyes wide with shock for a long ti.

"What are you standing around for? While they’ve just died and their Martial Souls haven’t fully dissipated, quickly devour them," Fang Chang reminded her.

As his descendant, devouring Martial Souls was an innate skill. But as the bloodline thinned through the generations, this ability had greatly weakened, and its effects were far inferior to Fang Chang’s.

Prompted by his words, she snapped back to her senses and opened her mouth. A black vortex appeared, ripping the Martial Souls from the six corpses and swallowing them whole.

Within seconds, her soul power surged rapidly, breaking through Rank 98, then Rank 99, and reaching near demigod levels.

Her soul power had already been terrifyingly high. Now, with Fang Chang’s twin boosts of "Domination" and the "Spider God Domain," even facing a demigod-level expert like Qian Daoliu, she wouldn’t necessarily be at a disadvantage.

Just then, streaks of light flew toward them from various parts of Sun Moon City. The over three hundred Soul Engineer Corps mbers stationed outside Shrek Academy also received orders to converge.

"Are you ready? Today, let’s go all out," Fang Chang said with a faint smile, glancing at the now much stronger Zhu Jing. Then he looked up toward the incoming figures.

"Mm." Zhu Jing nodded. Now that her power had leaped once more, she had confidence in the coming battle.

Moreover, with the deaths of Silvermoon Douluo and his companions, the enemy’s strength had plumted, and their chances of victory had risen dramatically.

The approaching figures also sensed sothing wrong upon nearing Shrek Academy—they could clearly feel the aura of Silvermoon Douluo and the others had completely vanished.

In other words... they had already been killed.

This revelation sent a chill through their hearts. The strength of those six was already considered the backbone of the Sun Moon Empire.

Yet even they hadn’t been able to hold off the enemy?

They hadn’t even lasted long enough for reinforcents to arrive?

Before they could think further, a massive dark-gold spider Soul Beast over a hundred ters long soared into the sky, rushing toward them.

On the other side, Zhu Jing also unleashed her Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a Sea Emperor Spider dozens of ters long, charging directly at the three hundred-plus Soul Engineer Corps.

"Sea Blue Domain – Annihilation!" It was the sa move as before, but this ti, her domain’s coverage had increased tenfold, instantly wiping out the entire Soul Engineer Corps.

High in the sky, Fang Chang split into four, creating three additional avatars. Each one intercepted several of the incoming figures, stopping all the reinforcents in their tracks.

Fire, frost, lightning, poison—an onslaught of various attacks rained down, and the more those experts fought, the more they sensed sothing was wrong.

They wanted to retreat, but there was no escape. A dozen individuals on par with Title Douluo were now completely surrounded—not by a man, but by a spider.

The battle didn’t last long. Under Fang Chang’s overwhelming assault, the enemy elites fell one by one.

The massive dark-gold spider now hovered in the sky like a god descending from the heavens, standing proudly in the clouds.

Had the tis changed again? Was the spider clan rising once more?

On this day, humanity once again rembered the fear of being ruled by the spiders.
