Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 482 Spoils of War, Healing at the Dragon Ascension Platform, Gu Zhaoqiu's Plan for the Second Generation of the Golden Dragon King

Having achieved victory in the battle, Xu Tianxi was not in a hurry to return to the Douluo Continent. He stayed in the starry sky, collected the Rising Dragon Platform and the Dragon Slaying Blade, his eyes filled with intense interest.

"The Dragon Slayer Blade is not a super artifact. We have already taken the Heart of the Dragon God. Otherwise, this battle would have been much more complicated."

Looking up along the hilt of the knife, Xu Tianxi slowly exhaled a breath of fresh air. "Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically take them seriously"—this is a profound truth.

Although he verbally denigrated the Dragon God, his strength during his lifetime was indeed undeniably formidable. With his super artifacts and the advantageous position of the Starry Sky Giant Array, he was able to capture the last wisp of the Dragon God's divine consciousness.

If it were during the Dragon God's heyday, Xu Tianxi would have had no choice but to carry Douluo Star away at the speed of light, cultivate in the outer realms for thirty years, and then return to fight back, letting the Dragon God know that thirty years in the East and thirty years in the West of the universe.

"Clang clang..." The Dragon Slayer Blade trembled, its hilt hummed, and its gleaming blade revealed a defiant spirit, cutting through space as easily as paper.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in controlling this blade, nor do I want you to recognize me as your master." Xu Tianxi chuckled lightly, conveying his thoughts through telepathy:

"However, you'd better hope that there are still some powerful dragons who will take a liking to you. If neither the Silver Dragon King nor Di Tian wants you, I'll have no choice but to take pity on you and make use of you, melting you down to add some flair to my battle weapon."

The Dragon Slayer Blade throbbed violently, causing the dragon-shaped stripes engraved on its surface to leap up as if real dragons had come to life.

Xu Tianxi chuckled at this, and increased the suppressing power in his palm even more. The Dragon Slayer Blade, having lost its master, was powerless to resist and was immediately suppressed. Layers of Xuanjin marks covered the blade, sealing its edge, rendering it unable to move again.

Having gotten used to the super artifact, I now look down on weapons of lower rank; it would be best if I could fuse the Dragon Slayer Blade into the Purple Dragon Sword in the future.

Turning to look at the Dragon God's Ascension Platform used to restore dragon power, Xu Tianxi paused slightly, took a few steps forward, and used his divine sense to examine its form.

"Before the Divine Dragon Realm was destroyed, only gods of the third level or above could use this item when breaking through to a higher realm. Now, without the nourishment of immortal spiritual energy for a long time, its effectiveness is much less than before; I also have a portion of dragon aura within me, I wonder how effective it will be..."

The radiant purple destructive dragon energy extended from the Purple Ancestral Dragon Spear, forming a rainbow bridge that descended to the top of the Dragon Ascension Platform, drawing upon its power.

He knew that using the Dragon Ascension Platform usually required fighting to win a ranking. He had even defeated a wisp of the Dragon God's divine consciousness before, so he probably didn't have any more impressive achievements.

A moment later, the Ascending Dragon Platform reacted; a sweet rain fell from the cosmic void, and clusters of energy balls, like nine-colored flowers, bloomed and gradually enveloped Xu Tianxi's body.

Instantly, Xu Tianxi's body relaxed, as smoothly as absorbing the dragon cloud and dragon soul, but the wonderful feeling was more than ten times that of absorbing the dragon cloud and dragon soul.

The energy cluster was illusory and hazy like a dream, yet it brought benefits that even a lot of hard work in the real world could not bring. His injuries healed rapidly, and his divine body's blood production speed increased by more than ten or a hundred times.

In the previous battle with the Dragon God, Xu Tianxi had not used the method of combining essence, energy, and spirit. At most, he only fused his divine thoughts and divine power to develop battle tactics. The reason was simply that he was lacking in qi and blood.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed his God-King level divine sense as soon as he made his move. Although he was once a spirit-type soul master, he has always enjoyed the thrill of fist-to-fist combat.

At this moment, his robust and slender physique was almost back to its peak. His clothes fluttered, revealing his masculine and powerful body. He roared as he was bathed in dragon power. The newly created blood in his meridians surged like a tsunami, deafeningly loud, bringing an unparalleled sense of security.

Gradually, the Purple Dragon Sword at his waist entered the air, transforming into the true form of the Purple Dragon Annihilation, breathing out dragon power and roaring across the nine heavens. The universe and starry sea seemed to tremble between the light and shadow. This was the unrestrained joy of bloodline sublimation. The dragon power of the Dragon God is the greatest tonic in the world for any dragon race.

The rhomboid dragon scales shimmered with light, undergoing a cycle from light purple to dark purple to purplish-black and then back to light purple. The Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon seemed to be undergoing a profound transformation, and its roar grew more intense and powerful.

The terrifying aura of the man and the dragon not only shook the starry sky but also made the gods of the divine realm change color. It was too amazing, as if a new dragon king was about to be created.

"Fortunately, this new powerhouse is a sane person. If he were like the Dragon God or the Golden Dragon King, the God Realm would never have peace."

Rong Nianbing sighed, "If Xu Tianxi is as violent as the Golden Dragon King, then this rotten god realm is unbearable to stay in for even a day. He should quickly abandon his godhood and run away with his wife."

"Yes."

"It makes sense."

"This is the successor of this god, so it's normal..."

The seven elemental gods, after much discussion, reached a consensus that this was a blessing for the divine realm.

Xu Tianxi has no intention of ascending to heaven for the time being. He is already so powerful in the lower realm. Once he ascends, his combat power will surely be heaven-defying, and the position of the strongest person in the God Realm will change hands in a very short time.

Even now, is there any god in the divine realm who can reliably defeat Xu Tianxi? It seems unlikely.

Upon realizing this, not only did Rong Nianbing and the seven elemental gods gasp in shock, but the God of Destruction under the Tree of Life also felt completely relieved and made up his mind to go into seclusion.

“Arrogance, Xiao Zhou, announce to the public that I will be in seclusion with the Goddess of Life to heal my wounds, and the Divine Realm Committee will be temporarily placed under the care of the two God-Kings, the Good and the Evil.”

The God of Destruction said this, and then added, "If the God of Water leads the other gods into the divine realm while I am in seclusion, you should go and welcome them on my behalf, and propose to the divine realm committee that a new member be added."

Yes.

The God of Pride and the God of Destruction, Zhou Weiqing, both agreed and left the Realm of the Tree of Life to spread the news of the two God Kings' seclusion for healing throughout the God Realm. As they parted, a thought suddenly occurred to Zhou Weiqing: the God of Asura had said that everything he did was for the Douluo Plane to have a chance to advance further, and now a new god had emerged in the Douluo Plane, protecting it very well.

If I tell him this news, he'll be very happy, right? Maybe it will help him calm down and allow him to better focus on healing his wounds in seclusion.

"When I visit the Sea God four hours later, I'll tell him about these things. I really envy him; he still has his wife by his side... Sigh..."

Zhou Weiqing sighed, shaking his head as he wandered among the clouds of the divine realm. He felt like a lonely ghost with no one to accompany him, and he regretted not agreeing to the Sea God's request to inherit the Asura God's position earlier.

If he had done that, he could have ascended to the realm of gods with his wives, and the sea god could have been relieved of his burdens sooner, instead of ending up in this predicament.

As far as he knew, the Sea God had always intended to do good deeds, but he had too many disagreements and misunderstandings with the God of Destruction, which led to their current irreconcilable conflict.

……

On the battlefield of the starry sky, the light rain from the Ascending Dragon Platform lasted for three months.

In the void, the roaring Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a huge purple dragon cocoon undergoing a profound transformation.

Xu Tianxi stood in the void, taking advantage of the situation to move his qi and blood, comprehending divine power and the mysteries of the universe. His abilities in all aspects improved significantly, and he attempted to create a healing technique.

His old ailments had long since disappeared, and his body was now crystal clear and flawless, like a precious jewel. His vital energy flowed out like rain from his pores, dispelling his chronic illness and all impurities.

Under the influence of the Dragon Ascension Platform and the power of the dragon, he had already recovered and surpassed his state before the battle with the Golden Dragon King. He had been reborn and was like a humanoid dragon, with every breath he took trembling like stars.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, which shone brightly with starlight. This was a result of his cultivation by absorbing the power of stars through the Starry Sky Giant Array. The outer space is the best training ground for all Star-type Soul Masters.

"Level 116, the Dragon God's stuff is really good. Now even if the Golden Dragon King were to stand in front of me, I could defeat him in one battle without having to waste so many tricks."

Xu Tianxi flicked his wrist and looked up. The cocoon of light formed by the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon remained still. The war dragon was still transforming and would show its true power one day.

Instead of forcibly accelerating the process, Xu Tianxi smiled calmly, set up multiple layers of barriers to protect it from disturbance, and allowed it to continue its transformation in the starry sky.

Lowering his gaze, Xu Tianxi stomped his foot and transformed into a stream of light, flying back to the Douluo Continent.

"Dragon Valley still has some troubles. Hopefully, those guys won't get too excited."

……

In the small world of Dragon Valley, the ancestor of the sub-dragons awoke from his slumber, and his sudden movement startled many dragons.

Gu Zhaoqiu's eyes were red-rimmed as she asked anxiously, "Dragon Ancestor, what's wrong? Are you sensing something?"

"I sensed it; he's returning." The Ancestor of the Dragons nodded, sensing the movement from outer space, and smiled faintly:

"Don't be so nervous. He sent us a message three months ago saying that he had won and was going to recuperate in space. Just wait patiently."

“I’m worried. He’s never been away from a battle for three months straight.” Gu Zhaoqiu smiled, but his expression remained grim.

The Ancestor of the Dragons shook his head. "I think your mentality is not as good as the Silver Dragon King's. Look at the Silver Dragon King, he eats and sleeps as usual, his mentality is much better than yours."

Gu Zhaoqiu glanced sideways at Gu Yuena, who was resting wrapped in a sleeping bag beside her, with only her long silver hair and half of her pretty face showing, and pouted, saying:

"I'm not like her, a lazybones who's been hiding in a hot spring for hundreds of thousands of years. I'm very ambitious, I'm already level 98, and surpassing her is just around the corner."

With the departure of the Dragon God's divine consciousness, the suppression of the Soul Master's cultivation by Dragon Valley has disappeared.

Over the course of three months, Gu Zhaoqiu diligently cultivated, refining the essence of the Golden Dragon King's flesh and blood, making significant progress in all aspects.

It is worth mentioning that the refining method involves using the Golden Dragon King's Golden Dragon Spear to absorb the Golden Dragon King's energy, achieving a 100% utilization rate.

Gu Yuena, after recovering from her injuries in a month, resumed her lazy lifestyle, eating and drinking as usual, claiming that she was much more diligent than before when she spent her days cultivating in the hot springs, and that she spent four hours every day cultivating her divine power.

Gu Zhaoqiu was extremely disdainful of this, believing that the opportunity to become the second-generation Golden Dragon King was right in front of her. Once she had achieved great success in her cultivation, the first-generation Silver Dragon King should abdicate and give way to a worthy successor!

"Hmm~ Hmm~" Gu Yuena murmured softly as she buried her head in her sleep. She seemed to hear some disloyal subordinates talking badly about her.

Gu Zhaoqiu was about to go up and persuade Gu Yuena to sleep a little longer when he saw a figure with extraordinary aura descending from the sky not far away. The handsome face bore a confident, radiant smile as the figure spoke gently:
"Surpassing the Silver Dragon King is a long way off, but the path to godhood is indeed right before our eyes. Would you be interested in experiencing it?"
