Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 451 Tribulation Crossing, the Lonely Little Silver Dragon, and the Destruction of the Sea God's Trident
The celestial tribulation lasted for quite some time, from the moon reaching its zenith to the sunrise in the outside world, before the grand spectacle in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire finally began to end.

"Take it~!"

High in the sky, a powerful and majestic male voice resounded, as if it held the mandate of heaven, commanding the heavens and the planes. Xu Tianxi did indeed shout this word to the plane's lightning tribulation.

This is a heinous act, a deliberate provocation against another dimension.

However, things turned out exactly as he had imagined. As soon as the word was spoken, all the thunderbolts dissipated, transforming into gentle energy that cleansed the riddled four-word battle armor and the dimmed dark gold Xuanwu shield.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and the surging thunderclouds quickly shrank and became smaller, turning into a cloud of mist that he swallowed.

The four-character battle armor possessed a spirit, constantly repairing itself, and soon became as clear as new, radiating an even more divine luster.

The Xuanwu Shield was bound to Xu Tianxi by life and death, and was further baptized by the power of the Sea God's position. Its level had already advanced to the god level during its transformation. Now, it was baptized by the lightning tribulation, and soon it radiated boundless blue light, surrounded by thousands of acres of blue waves.

Thunderclouds transformed into food, and Xu Tianxi had his own reliance. His strong and muscular body grew taller with each step, and after seven steps, he had become a hundred-foot giant, capable of supporting the sky and the earth. His entire body was surrounded by golden light, without revealing the slightest flaw.

On the other side, Miss Gu Yuena's tribulation seemed to be coming to an end. Her resounding three-word battle armor was damaged, collapsed, and reassembled under the baptism of the tribulation, and this process continued back and forth. She looked a little scared, but she pouted, showing her defiance and determination to defy the heavens.

"Little Silver Dragon, oh Little Silver Dragon, why bother?" Xu Tianxi shook his head, took a step, and his body appeared not far from her.

"Shu~"

Gu Yuena suddenly felt a warm, large hand pressing against her back, transmitting a continuous stream of divine power to replenish her needs. She shuddered and recalled some beautiful yet painful memories.

Damn it, this guy is so vengeful, even at a time like this he has to make fun of me.
"Little Silver Dragon, don't overthink it. Quickly concentrate on dealing with the lightning tribulation. You are carrying the great dream of reviving the dragon race and bearing the lofty mission of nurturing a new dragon god. How can you be stopped by a mere lightning tribulation?"

Xu Tianxi, with his divine sense, instantly discerned the other party's thoughts from their reaction. He chuckled inwardly at the little silver dragon's lack of strength yet still trying to force its way through, while outwardly adopting the righteous demeanor of a loyal dragon subject.

I must say, while calling upon the Lord and carrying out orders, there was a unique feeling in my heart.

"Damn it, don't call me Little Silver Dragon. Be more respectful in public."

Gu Yuena glared angrily and gave Xu Tianxi a sidelong glance without any politeness.

Little did she know that since the previous battle, the little bit of prestige she held in Xu Tianxi's eyes, which was almost nonexistent and maintained entirely by her strength, had been completely shattered.

Xu Tianxi simply assumed that the little silver dragon was still being stubborn.

"If you had the power to suppress me, you could certainly expect me to be more respectful, but unfortunately, you don't seem to have that power now."

Xu Tianxi spoke earnestly, transmitting nine-colored chaotic divine power with one hand to help Gu Yuena resist the heavenly tribulation.

"Ahhh... Mind your place. You are now my queen. You are not allowed to laugh at me." Gu Yuena tried to suppress Xu Tianxi with her bloodline authority, emphasizing the difference in their status and position.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi's smile grew even brighter: "I'm sorry, little silver dragon, since you personally gave me the Golden Dragon King's dragon crystal, I can now be considered to have some connection with the Golden Dragon King."

"Besides... isn't the Dragon Clan always one where the strong are respected? You're not the Dragon God of yesteryear, just half of him, so you don't seem to be able to suppress me in terms of strength."

Gu Yuena was nearly furious, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, she really wanted to bite this guy: "..."

Oh no! This is terrible! The Mountain Dragon King has rebelled! He's rebelled! He's defying the heavens!

Xu Tianxi smiled calmly, a smile full of amusement. Seeing that the heavenly tribulation was about to dissipate, he suddenly moved closer and embraced Miss Silver Dragon from behind. His voice softened as he whispered:

"Actually... I've always felt that many things are not your responsibility. Little Silver Dragon, you sometimes think too much, which always makes your heart very tired."

"I can't comment on the effectiveness of your Dragon God Cultivation Plan, but for now, I think you can relax a bit, because I'll take care of those troubles."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's violently struggling body gradually relaxed, and she bit her bright red lips with her pearly teeth, saying, "You just want to trick me into lowering my guard against you, and then take my place in the Dragon Clan, right?"

Xu Tianxi said solemnly, "No, absolutely not."

Gu Yuena muttered softly, "Actually, it's not impossible. I noticed it a long time ago. Ever since you appeared, Di Tian hasn't been as respectful as before and doesn't put me first."

"If you can truly make the dragon race better, then I'm not unaware of the possibility of stepping down, but you can't do this to me..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I never intended to kill you. You attacked me first." Xu Tianxi's face darkened. He flicked the little silver dragon's delicate nose and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you learn these words? There shouldn't be any stories like this in the dragon race."

Hearing such sad and disturbing things, Xu Tianxi almost thought he had returned to his previous life on Earth, where soap operas were all the rage.

Gu Yuena lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering, and murmured softly, "I saw it in the library of the Sun Moon Empire's palace. The princesses of your Sun Moon Empire really like these kinds of things..."

She sniffed and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Don't you think I'm neglecting my duties? A dignified dragon king watching these things, it's embarrassing to even think about it."

At this moment, Xu Tianxi was exasperated, thinking to himself, "No wonder Xu Tianzhen is acting so strangely; he's been reading too many storybooks." He then comforted the dejected little silver dragon:
"No, although you have been sleeping under the Lake of Life for hundreds of thousands of years, you have never truly entered the world and are still inexperienced in worldly affairs, which is perfectly normal; what Di Tian and the others taught you is also ineffective."

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up, like purple lamps, and she said happily, "You also think I'm right, I have a good chance, right?"

"Yes." Xu Tianxi said the words against his will with a stiff face. He wasn't really wrong, but as for hope... tsk tsk, the future was uncertain.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have talked to you about my feelings sooner. That way, I wouldn't have been secretly criticized by you and that auspicious beast. Don't think I don't know that your sister is always trying to outdo me. It's outrageous."

Xu Tianxi was speechless: "..."

If you had said that earlier, your authority would have been completely destroyed long ago, and I should have taken precautions against you sooner.

"Our lord is the undisputed king of the dragon race, why bother arguing with her, is that right?"

Xu Tianxi was genuinely worried that this little sister Gu, who was used to being bullied, might suddenly stand up and cause trouble for Gu Zhaoqiu, so he continued to deceive her.

“Of course.” Gu Yuena’s lips curled up, then suddenly remembered something, turned her fair and flawless face to stare into Xu Tianxi’s eyes, and said firmly, “I am better than your sister.”

"...You're right, you're absolutely right."

"What else is good to hear? Say some more." Gu Yuena seemed to feel her authority had been restored, her eyes shining brightly like flashlights:
"If I'm in a good mood, I can give you some more things to play with."

Xu Tianxi's eyelids twitched. "My lord, it's wrong of you to tempt people like this. A true king shouldn't do this."

“But we’re not strangers,” Gu Yuena said, leaning closer, her breath sweet as orchids, her voice soft yet assertive.
"I said, you belong to me..."

Xu Tianxi's pupils contracted sharply, and his mood became complicated again. He suspected that the other party's previous dejection was an act.

Gu Yuena stared into the other person's eyes, let out a soft hum, and felt extremely pleased.

The book says that all men are lustful, and it is indeed true. But if I didn't truly care for you, why would I do such a thing?
Thinking of this, she gently spread her arms, twisted her body like a mullet, and embraced Xu Tianxi, burying her head in his broad and strong chest, and whispered:
"Tianxi, this is the first time I've called you that. Don't let me down. I feel lonely too, and sometimes I envy your sister..."

Xu Tianxi sighed and gently patted Gu Yuena's snowy back.

What a tragedy, what a tragedy.

"boom!"

Just then, a thunderclap appeared out of nowhere, and another bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the dissipating thunderclouds in the sky, striking Xu Tianxi directly.

"No, God, what do you mean? My tribulation has long passed! Why didn't you strike her?"

"boom!"

"Good grief, is this never going to end?"

"Haha... It seems even the Lord of the Plane can't stand you being a heartless person..." Gu Yuena laughed heartily, her smile radiant and sunny.

"boom!"

As the third bolt of lightning struck, Xu Tianxi's face darkened completely. He took out a fragment of the Trident of the Sea God and charged towards the sky.

"Very well, today I will use you to completely destroy this fragment and reshape my divine weapon!"
