Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 589 The God of Destruction and the God of Life

The seven old demons had just left when they discovered an extremely terrifying tremor coming from the Stone of Destruction.

The earth seemed to be torn apart by a tremendous force, with cracks spreading wildly beneath the feet of the old demons like hideous wounds. At the cracks, scorching purplish-black lava churned faintly, like the smoldering flames of hell.

The eerie black plants that once adorned the island were now utterly vulnerable to this destructive force. Their thick trunks, like withered, rotten wood, were snapped in an instant by an invisible, immense force, and their leaves scattered and shattered like black paper. The plants shattered with a dull thud, like a desperate lament.

The aura of destruction, like thick ink, permeated and churned freely in the air.

"What's going on? The Tide of Destruction has occurred again?" an old demon exclaimed in shock.

"This shouldn't be happening, the time for the next devastating tide hasn't arrived yet!"

“This is definitely not the Tide of Destruction,” said the leading Greedy Demon. “The Tide of Destruction would never have such a terrifying display.”

The seven old demons were originally the Shrek Seven Devils from thousands of years ago. During their exploration of the Devil's Islands, they were infected by the life energy and destructive energy there.

In the end, although they achieved immortality, they were also bound to the Devil's Islands and turned into old devils who were neither human nor ghost.

For the past thousand years, they have been training the students sent by Shrek Academy, but they have also conducted some research on the life and destruction energies on Devil's Isles.

Every so often, a destructive energy surge occurs on the Devil's Isles, known as the Destruction Tide.

Similarly, the periodic surges of life energy are called life tides.

"Go and check on the Stone of Destruction!" the Greedy Old Demon shouted, even though they had no good feelings towards people like Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na who came from the Spirit Pagoda.

But if something were to happen to them here, it would definitely cause a diplomatic incident between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Tower.

"go!"

...

When the seven old demons arrived at the Stone of Destruction, they witnessed a scene that horrified them.

The Destruction Stone, which they believed possessed terrifying power, was now half its previous size, and its surface was covered with cracks, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

At this moment, Qian Gu Huang Yu's left hand extended a sharp dragon claw, piercing into the Destruction Stone, while Gu Yue Na also thrust her Silver Dragon Spear into the Destruction Stone.

Purple destructive energy was continuously being transferred from the Stone of Destruction to Eternal Phoenix Feather and Gu Yuena.

"What are you doing? Stop right now!"

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na were actually absorbing the destructive energy from the Destruction Stone, the Greedy Old Demon was shocked and quickly stopped them.

Qian Gu Huang Yu looked at the seven old demons who had arrived late and laughed, "We are comprehending the energy of destruction! How can we comprehend it if we don't absorb it?"

"Absorbing destructive energy? How is that possible?"

The seven old demons have lived here for thousands of years and have witnessed generation after generation of Shrek Seven Devils. Among them are naturally many exceptional talents, but none of them have been able to truly master this power, let alone directly absorb it.

But this bizarre scene unfolded as they could sense the power of the Destruction Stone waning, while the auras of Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na were gradually increasing.

They are truly absorbing the power of the Destruction Stone!

"Stop! You'll destroy this place!" an old demon shouted.

"To have become our stepping stone to godhood, this place can be considered a worthy death," Gu Yuena said calmly.

Gu Yuena was in a very good mood; this could even be said to be the best supplement she had ever received since her birth.

Even if it's only a small portion, it's still the God-King's energy!
"No, we must stop them!" The Greedy Old Demon made a decisive decision. They were now closely tied to the Devil's Islands, and if the Devil's Islands were destroyed, they would die as well.

At the command of the Greedy Demon, the seven demons immediately launched their respective attacks.

Qian Gu Huang Yu slowly raised her free right hand, and an extremely terrifying repulsive force was released from her fair and delicate hand, instantly deflecting the Seven Old Demons' attack.

Shinra Tianzheng!

"Honestly, I'm not even afraid of the Destruction Stone that you can't do anything about, so how dare you challenge me?" Qian Gu Huang Yu said calmly.

"boom!"

As soon as Qian Gu Huang Yu finished speaking, another violent tremor came, and emerald-colored energy soared into the sky, surging towards the direction of the Destruction Stone.

"Oh no, it's the Tide of Life!" The old demons exclaimed in shock.

The life tide contains extremely pure life energy, which would normally be a great tonic. However, now that the destructive energy is running rampant, if it comes into contact with the life energy, it will definitely cause a terrifying explosion.

"Devil's Islands, it's over..." the Greedy Old Demon said dejectedly.

Even though the life energy brought by the tide of life had engulfed them and their condition had improved while they were bathed in it, they felt no joy whatsoever.

Because they understand that as soon as life energy collides with destructive energy, everything ends.

"As expected, life and destruction are in balance. When the energy of destruction goes wrong, the energy of life goes berserk." Qian Gu Huang Yu said calmly, looking at the life energy rushing towards him.

"Huang'er, get ready, it's coming," Gu Yuena reminded her, then stretched out a hand.

The rampaging life energy arrived in front of Gu Yuena in an instant, but when it touched Gu Yuena's outstretched fingers, it was as if it had hit an invisible wall and could not move forward no matter what.

Immediately, the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather also stretched out a hand and placed it on the surging life energy, beginning to absorb it.

Because the destructive energy was even more violent, Gu Yuena specifically used the Silver Dragon Spear to absorb it, rather than absorbing it directly.

However, faced with a gentler life energy, Gu Yuena chose to absorb it directly.

However, because of her superior physical abilities, the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather chose to directly absorb the destructive energy.

"How is this possible?" Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na had actually begun to absorb the energy of destruction and life, the Seven Old Demons' worldview was shattered.

"No, we must stop them!" the Greedy Old Demon roared, and attacked Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na again.

"Stubborn fool." Qian Gu Huang Yu cursed inwardly, his vertical pupil on his forehead opened, and a beam of blue light shot out!

It was the soul skill, Light of Time and Space, bestowed by the external soul bone of the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

In an instant, not to mention the Seven Old Demons' attack, even space itself showed signs of shattering. The Seven Old Demons were originally spiritual beings, so how could they possibly withstand the spacetime light released by the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather with its Divine Origin Realm spiritual power?
After being struck by the light of time and space, the Seven Demon Lords let out a miserable scream, their eyes instantly becoming dull, as if they had lost their souls.

The Seven Old Demons possessed at most the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm. Faced with the Time-Space Light unleashed by the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather with the full power of the Divine Origin Realm spiritual power, their spiritual sea was destroyed in an instant.

However, because they had lost their physical bodies and were only in a soul state, they froze on the spot, becoming a strange sight. "The troublemakers are gone, Gu Yue, we can absorb it without worry now," Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and immediately began to balance the life and destruction energies within her body.

Gu Yuena only gained the ability to control destructive energy after absorbing the Dragon God's soul in Dragon Valley and completing her bloodline evolution.

Therefore, compared to her ease in mastering life energy, Gu Yuena had to expend much more effort to control destructive energy.

However, the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather does not have this worry. As the owner of the ultimate lightning, the Thunderous Hell Vine itself possesses powerful destructive attributes.

Furthermore, the Life and Death Soul Core of the Eternal Phoenix Feather itself possesses life attributes, making it easy to control.

After erasing the minds of the Seven Old Demons, Qian Gu Huang Yu released the Golden-Patterned Blue Demon Bird and the Silver-Patterned Blue Demon Bird to protect her and Gu Yue Na.

Originally, Qian Gu Huang Yu wanted to invite Xie Yan Tyrant and Tai Kun, but worried that they would start arguing again, so she invited the more harmonious married couple instead.

The Silver-Patterned Blue Demon Bird, summoned by the call, looked at the Ancient Phoenix Feather with a mournful expression. They had just been studying the birth of life in the Sea of ​​Life when they were suddenly summoned without warning.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under the gaze of the Silver-Striped Blue Demon Bird, Qian Gu Huang Yu gave an awkward smile and said, "I'll go back and start researching how to make children for you."

After hearing the assurance from the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather, the Silver-Patterned Blue Demon Bird nodded and began to act as protectors along with the Golden-Patterned Blue Demon Bird.

Although the Golden Silver Blue Demon Bird only has a cultivation of over 100,000 years, it is able to hold its own against quasi-gods thanks to its powerful time and space abilities.

With the Golden and Silver Blue Demon Birds protecting them, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na immediately calmed down and began to comprehend their destructive and life energies.

...

Three days later, the destructive and life energy that had been raging across Devil's Isles finally subsided, and the entire islands were completely desolate.

Qian Gu Huang Yu opened her eyes, and a flash of purple and green lightning passed through them.

"Huang'er, how are you feeling?" Gu Yuena asked.

After assessing his own condition, Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Although this energy is not enough for me to break through to the Quasi-God level, it has strengthened my foundation and given me some inspiration."

Unlike Gu Yuena, Qian Gu Huang Yu does not intend to follow the path of the Law of Life and the Law of Destruction; instead, she focuses on absorbing the energy within them.

Then, based on the energy within, she imitated the cat and the tiger, constructing her own laws.

Because the energy of life and destruction had been completely absorbed, the originally huge Destruction Stone had shattered, leaving only debris on the ground.

"What is this?" Qian Gu Huang Yu picked up a purple crystal from among the rubble, and couldn't help but feel curious.

“Xiaoyu, there should be a fragment of a soul on there. Although the aura is very weak, the level is very high. It should be at the level of a god-king in this plane.”

Suddenly, Electrolux's voice rang out from the Sea of ​​Living Beings.

"Elder Yi, are you saying that there are fragments of the God King's soul on this?" Qian Gu Huang Yu was slightly startled and quickly asked.

Electrox said, "That's right. The situation is probably similar to what you guessed. It is because of the fragments of the God-King's soul that such a strange situation has been created."

Qian Gu Huang Yu hurriedly asked, "Elder Yi, is the soul of the God of Destruction active? Is there a risk of resurrection?"

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu can be said to have reached the pinnacle of the Douluo plane, the God of Destruction is, after all, a God King. Even if it is just a soul, it probably has some powerful methods, so we cannot be careless.

Electrolux laughed and said, "His soul hasn't been annihilated yet, but without the help of the external environment, it will be difficult for him to wake up. Unless you specifically nourish him, he won't wake up."

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's keep it for now. We should wait until we become gods before communicating with him."

"Huang'er, what's wrong?" Gu Yuena asked with concern when she saw Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly freeze.

After Qian Gu Huang Yu told Gu Yue Na about the fragments of the God of Destruction's soul, Gu Yue Na was also somewhat surprised, "There really is a God King's soul here?"

"However, if the soul fragments of the God of Destruction are here, then the God of Life should also be here."

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly and pointed in a direction. "I remember the Tide of Life comes from this side. Let's go take a look."

When Qian Gu Huang Yu and Gu Yue Na arrived, they indeed found a green crystal among the pile of rubble on the ground.

"Huang'er, does the soul of the God King reside in this crystal?" Gu Yuena asked.

After stealing the answer from Electrolux, Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded slightly, "That's right, now we have the souls of two great god-kings."

Gu Yuena asked, "Huang'er, what do you plan to do?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Let's put them away for now. We'll try to awaken their consciousness after we become gods. We'll see if they cooperate or just treat us as a side dish then."

...

Shrek City, Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.

Looking at the documents in his hand, Bei Dexun felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed directly in front of Bedell, and the next instant, a stunningly beautiful woman with long golden hair appeared before Bedell.

It is the ancient phoenix feather.

"Qian Gu Huang Yu, shouldn't you be in Devil's Islands? Why are you back here?" Bei De Xun didn't blame Qian Gu Huang Yu for coming uninvited, but was curious about the reason for her visit.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have some sad news to tell you. I hope you are prepared."

Bede Xun was startled, then forced himself to calm down and said, "Could it be that something's wrong with Devil's Islands?"

Seeing Qian Gu Huang Yu nod, Bei Dexun's face turned gloomy, and he said, "Is the problem serious?"

Seeing Qian Gu Huang Yu nod again, Bei Dexun's expression became even more unpleasant. "What exactly happened?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "The Devil's Islands have already been destroyed by the rampage of the Tide of Life and the Tide of Destruction."

"Seven seniors also died in battle to protect me and Gu Yue."

"Boom—" Bede Xun felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning. He staggered and only managed to stay upright by bracing himself against the table with his hands.

"Devil's Islands... destroyed?"
