Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 130 The Blood of a Mortal King Must End with the Sword! (Three Chapters Combined, 7K Chapter!)
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, forming a dome-like cage. Muffled thunder brewed deep within the clouds, and pale lightning flashed intermittently. The stuffy, humid air solidified, forming a viscous film that made it difficult for Shrek and his companions to breathe.

Looking at Di Tian, ​​whose aura was like that of someone facing an abyss, and the Wan Yao Wang, Xiong Jun, and Chi Wang beside him, whose auras were either gloomy or fierce, Song Lao and Gong Changlong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat under the golden light that materialized from the oppressive power.

At this point, there's no possibility of negotiation; the only options are to hand over Mo Yuan or fight.

But Old Song and Gong Changlong would rather die than make the former choice.

"Le Xuan, when the fight starts, you take Mo Yuan and the others and leave first. Chang Long and I will hold them off here. Remember, never look back. The future of Shrek Academy rests on your shoulders."

After giving Zhang Lexuan his instructions, Elder Song resolutely took another step forward. The Azure Shadow Divine Eagle let out a cry, forcefully tearing a crack in Di Tian's oppressive aura.

"Di Tian, ​​are you really going to go to such lengths, even if it means going to war with Shrek Academy?" Old Song wanted to confirm one last time, hoping to hear a different answer.

Di Tian's expression remained calm, as if Song Lao's threat was nothing more than the last struggle of an ant.

“I said, hand over that human and you can live.”

"You are delusional!"

With the last possibility shattered, Old Song finally gave up any hope. Perhaps the outcome was already predetermined from the moment Di Tian appeared.

Seeing this, Shark Arm Douluo and Huo Yuhao, who were hiding in the shadows, immediately perked up. If the two sides really started fighting, the possibility of seizing the auspicious beast was quite high.

"go!"

Without turning back, Old Man Song let out a low shout, and then he and Gong Changlong prepared to attack Di Tian, ​​risking their lives to protect Zhang Lexuan and Mo Yuan.

However, at this critical moment, a thunderclap exploded in the sky, and a pale lightning bolt streaked across the ground, casting a chilling shadow.

That was the shadow of a dragon...

Old Song and Gong Changlong stopped in their tracks and, like Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, looked up at the sky.

Beneath the thick, dark clouds, the final dragon, accompanied by storms and thunder, swooped down. Ye Xuan's face was covered by a bronze demon mask, his three thousand silver hairs danced wildly in the wind, and his black robe fluttered like a battle flag raised high.

"It's Ye Xuan, the Douluo of the End! How could he be here!" Old Song and Gong Changlong exclaimed in disbelief.

Gazing at the figure she had longed for day and night, the one who caused her so much distress, Zhang Lexuan murmured softly, "Why is he here... Is it because of me?"

"Damn it! What is he doing here again! It was the same last time, and it's happening again this time! He's like a persistent ghost!"

"Damn it! It's him again! And it was just a hair's breadth away again!"

Tianmeng Bingcan and Huo Yuhao stared at the figure that had left a deep impression on both of them, cursing inwardly. The plan was already half completed, but unexpectedly, the situation became uncontrollable again because of Ye Xuan's appearance.

Seeing Ye Xuan descending on the Dragon of Despair, accompanied by storms and thunder, Di Tian's face showed a different expression for the first time—not surprise, but joy.

As the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, he recognized all dragons in the world, but he had never seen the End Demon Dragon. What does this mean?
This means that the End Douluo Ye Xuan mentioned by Shrek Academy is the person they are looking for, and the End Demon Dragon is a descendant of that god-level black dragon!
He immediately recognized Ye Xuan's identity; he was the human that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had specifically named to stay!
Di Tian glanced at 'Mo Yuan' who was still standing behind Elder Song. Although he didn't know how this 'Mo Yuan' looked exactly like the real Mo Yuan, and he didn't know when the person had been replaced right under his nose.

But none of that matters; the important thing is that the person has been found.

The final dragon crashed down between Di Tian and the Shrek Seven Devils, and the storm and thunder it brought knocked down all the trees within a radius of hundreds of meters like wheat.

The smoke and dust were torn apart by the black wings, and Ye Xuan appeared before the Shrek Academy members.

"Walk."

Without turning his head, Mo Yuan spoke to Elder Song and the others behind him. Under the Supreme's wrath, his humanity was almost completely gone, and he was nearly consumed by Nidhogg's fury.

It's more like Nidhogg, rather than him, who's now in control of this body.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Zhang Lexuan and 'Mo Yuan' was dumbfounded.

This, isn't this right?

Do you mean you're an evil spirit master, or an evil spirit master who has a grudge against Shrek Academy and appeared specifically to save us Shrek people?
Are we crazy, or is the world crazy?
Despite their confusion, Elder Song and Gong Changlong made the best decision immediately. They didn't care what Ye Xuan's purpose was in saving them and going head-to-head with Di Tian; as long as they could live, that was all that mattered.

"Come on!"

As she spoke, Old Song tried to pull Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao to run towards the outer area, but when she pulled in Zhang Lexuan's direction, she found that she hadn't bumped into anyone.

The scene that greeted Qingying Douluo, a level 97 Super Douluo, nearly made her eyes pop out of their sockets. Not only her, but also Ma Xiaotao, Wu Ming, and Han Ruoruo, besides 'Mo Yuan', all had expressions of utter disbelief.

Zhang Lexuan walked step by step to Ye Xuan's side, ignoring the ferocious and evil-looking End Demon Dragon beside her.

Even the most clueless among them, Elder Song, finally realized that their senior sister from the inner courtyard actually knew the evil soul master Ye Xuan! And it seemed there might even be some other hidden story between them!
Perhaps Ye Xuan's actions were also for Zhang Lexuan's sake!

Old Song and the others felt that what happened in those few seconds was more exciting than the first half of their lives.

The Shrek Academy's senior sister is having an affair with an evil spirit master! This is almost as absurd as the claim that Mo Yuan is an evil spirit master! It's absolutely outrageous.

"interesting."

Di Tian, ​​who was some distance away, stopped Xiong Jun and Chi Wang, who were about to make a move, and watched with great interest. In fact, he had just wanted to ask Mo Yuan directly why he changed his identity and how he managed to leave right under his nose.

But as soon as he says those words, he feels a strange sense of unease, as if saying them will bring terrible consequences.

Although Di Tian didn't know the reason, he didn't go against it. At their level, the more mysterious and profound the feeling was, the more they had to pay attention to it.

Those who didn't take it seriously all died.

"Why don't you leave?"

Beneath the bronze mask, Mo Yuan's eyes were filled with furious and ferocious anger, but he still pretended to be indifferent and spoke without any emotional fluctuation.

Zhang Lexuan paused, her heart seemingly stopping for a moment, and a complex expression appeared in her gentle, watery eyes.

Since their parting in the far north, she had so much to say to Ye Xuan, but at this moment, all those words were summed up in one sentence.

"Be careful, come back alive."

……

Zhang Lexuan left, forcibly dragged away by Old Song, along with Ma Xiaotao and the others, as well as Old Yi disguised as Mo Yuan.

"Although I don't know why you stayed when you could have left, now that we've confirmed you're the person we're looking for, come with us."

Di Tian remained calm with his hands behind his back, even after confirming that Mo Yuan had a god-level being like Nidhogg behind him.

"How arrogant..."

A voice, seemingly that of a human or a true dragon, emanated from beneath the bronze mask.

Di Tian's 'treasonous' actions enraged Nidhogg within the Sea of ​​Spirit, and finally, under the Supreme's fury, Mo Yuan's humanity was completely submerged in the tide.

Of course, this was partly his own choice; he also wanted to see what level he could reach now with Nidhogg's blessing.

It's a pity they didn't have to exchange a quarter of their lives, otherwise he could have shouted: "Something for nothing."

Mo Yuan, no, it was Mo Yuan and Nidhogg who jumped off the End Dragon. Then he stretched his hand out from under his cloak, revealing the dense black scales on his arm.

Claws had already covered the bronze ghost mask, and then slowly removed the mask in front of Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts. Shark Arm Douluo, Huo Yuhao, and even Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who were hiding in the shadows in the distance, felt their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.

Is the identity of the utterly mysterious Douluo Ye Xuan about to be revealed to them?!
However, the next second, what appeared in Huo Yuhao and the other two's eyes was not Mo Yuan's face, but a giant greatsword filled with the aura of death, and a death knight wearing ancient armor.

Clearly, Ye Xuan had sent the Death Knight to deal with these three rats in the gutter.

Looking at this familiar scene, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was stunned for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha!! Good, good, good! Great! This is such a familiar scene! Looks like I'll have to pay my life-saving fee again, awesome! Ye Xuan, I'm really *#**Mom*#!!"

……

Neither Mo Yuan nor Di Tian paid any attention to Huo Yuhao and Shark Arm Douluo, who were being chased by the Death Knights; at this moment, they only had eyes for each other.

Not only the bronze mask, but also the protection of the night was torn off. Now, Mo Yuan is no longer recognizable as a human being.

His clothes were completely torn, and his entire body was covered with dense black scales and bone spurs. His hands and feet had all turned into dragon claws. Encased in an exoskeleton, his body became incredibly muscular, with jet-black dragon horns pointing straight to the sky and blood-stained black wings that seemed to want to cover the sky.

This is neither human nor dragon, but a monster somewhere between an angel and a demon.

"Is this the power of that black dragon? It's truly astonishing..."

Looking at Mo Yuan, who had been empowered by Nidhogg, Di Tian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This was the first time he had ever seen another kind of dragon power.

He also saw the fury in Mo Yuan's eyes that belonged to Nidhogg.

"You want to attack me?"

Human voices mixed with dragon roars emanated from beneath the exoskeleton mask.

"Do not."

"It is to eliminate treacherous officials and rebels."

These words stunned not only Di Tian, ​​but also Xiong Jun and the others. Traitors? Us?
Di Tian laughed, but it was a cold laugh. He was a traitor, so who were you? My sovereign?
In their eyes, Nidhogg is a god, someone they need to kneel before—that's fine. But Mo Yuan isn't; he's just a chosen successor of Nidhogg.

They're not even on the same level as Di Tian.

"Leave this place with the auspicious beast."

Just in case, after instructing the Crimson King to protect the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Di Tian and Mo Yuan looked at each other again.

The wind rose and the clouds shifted, and suddenly the two of them vanished from their spot.

In the sky, the two dragon claws collided violently, and an extremely terrifying shockwave rushed towards the dark clouds above. The next moment, the sky cracked open.

The collision didn't last long; a few seconds later, a dark shadow fell and slammed into Xiong Jun's side, creating a deep, bottomless crater.

Before long, a black dragon claw emerged from it.

It is the Emperor of Heaven.

His face was no longer calm; it was now filled with solemnity. He also showed signs of dragonification, growing scales and dragon horns, and his thick tail swept across his back.

Xiong Jun and the others did not expect that Di Tian would be at a disadvantage in the first round. Di Tian also did not expect that Mo Yuan would be so powerful. Even if he had underestimated his opponent, there were few people in this world who could defeat him.

"Very good, come again!"

Di Tian once again soared into the sky to face Mo Yuan, who wielded thunder. This time, he would not underestimate his opponent. With the support of Nidhogg and his rage, the dragon blood within Mo Yuan had become so concentrated that it was beyond comprehension, far exceeding the category of hybrids and even surpassing the most elite second-generation hybrids.

At this point, he was essentially a king.

Di Tian's dark golden vertical pupils ignited with world-burning flames, and the air currents stirred up by his dragon wings tore the clouds into a spiral vacuum.

“Those who overstep their bounds shall be punished by having their scales cut off.”

Mo Yuan gave the order like an emperor, and hurled the lightning spear he had casually picked up at Di Tian who was attacking. The spear shot out, and thousands of lightning bolts shattered the darkness. The extreme heat scorched the surrounding air, giving off a strong smell of burning.

"Get down here!"

A fierce glint flashed in Di Tian's eyes. He swung out a claw, unleashing the ultimate darkness, which transformed into an enormous, pitch-black dragon claw that reached out to grab Mo Yuan.

Wherever the lightning and dragon claws passed, the void shattered, and terrifying giant cracks spread outwards for hundreds of miles from the two of them.

Mo Yuan shattered the void and looked down at Di Tian below, countless ancient and mysterious rune arrays appearing in his golden eyes.

The dragon wings that had been unfurled behind him suddenly spread out again, each scale resounding like the booming of bronze chimes. When the first chime rippled outwards, Di Tian's jet-black dragon claw, which he had been wielding, froze in mid-air.

Then, without a sound, it turned into dust and disappeared into the world.

Without any obstruction, it was as if the thunderous spear, hurled by Zeus himself, had instantly traversed hundreds of meters and pierced Di Tian's right hand.

Eye-catching blood splattered out. Under the lash of lightning, the scales on Di Tian's right claw were peeled off layer by layer. However, a thick, dark liquid, like tar, gushed out from the wound. The liquid transformed into countless roaring black dragon phantoms, which began to devour the lightning!

Ultimate Dark Attribute!
Di Tian crushed the lightning in his hand and threw it into the forest below. Even though the lightning only had less than half its power left, it still turned the surrounding dozens of miles into charred remains when it hit the forest.

Di Tian stared at the blood-soaked dragon claw, his expression changing drastically, and for the first time, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

"This is... the power of time!"

He felt it very clearly: the dragon claw technique was not forcibly dispersed by Mo Yuan with an invisible attack, but rather it crossed hundreds of years in that instant!
In other words, his attack was worn down by time!
What terrifying power this is! Even time is like a toy in His hands, which He can manipulate at will!

"Your Excellency! I think we can sit down and have a proper talk!"

Di Tian didn't want to fight anymore, but he was confident that he could win. After all, he was the strongest person on the continent now, apart from his lord. He didn't believe that Mo Yuan, a human with the power of the Black King, could defeat him now!
There was no point in fighting anymore. In the eyes of their soul beast race, they and the Black King were never enemies, but rather of the same kind.

Unfortunately, Nidhogg's anger did not subside with the cessation of the rebellion and usurpation.

When a king is enraged, millions will die.

Only blood can quell the tyrant's rage.

Mo Yuan's golden pupils beneath his eyelids had melted into liquid metal, and within his sea of ​​consciousness, the chains hanging from the bronze pillars emitted the mournful cries of the dead.

The skeletons that had been hanging on Nidhogg's wings suddenly opened their empty eye sockets, and the death aura of the ancient era materialized, stirring up a decaying storm on the icy sea.

Mo Yuan's voice was mixed with the low roar of a dragon. He ignored Di Tian's request to stop. As soon as he raised his scaled arm, the earth began to tremble terrifyingly with his movement.

Just like pulling out the spine of an ancient giant king, the ground shattered and the soil exploded, revealing a bronze vein that stretched for kilometers and was originally buried deep in the earth. It was then casually pulled out and lifted into the sky.

"Since you insist on fighting, then I have no choice but to oblige!"

Seeing that Mo Yuan still wanted to fight, Di Tian's ferocity as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King was also aroused. He ignored Bi Ji's advice and unleashed his ultimate dark attribute, shrouding the ruins within a radius of dozens of miles in darkness.

With a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens and earth, Di Tian disappeared, replaced by an extremely majestic black dragon with wings that could blot out the sky, scales as black as ink, and eyes of crimson gold.

Golden Eyed Black Dragon King!
The gale transformed into the roar of an ancient giant, the thunder was like the drums of a divine battlefield, and the dark clouds swirled and churned in a vortex, as if they were about to devour the entire world.

Countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, like a divine punishment, lashing the earth again and again, leaving behind countless crisscrossing cracks.

It was like a scene from the apocalypse.

At the far end of the horizon, the three ferocious beasts, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Chi Wang, stood firmly in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Bi Ji, blocking the thunder and the oppressive aura of Emperor Tian in the sky.

They were also deeply shocked. This was the first and only time they had ever seen a human put Di Tian at a disadvantage, even if it was only for one round.

Looking at Mo Yuan, who stood amidst thousands of thunderbolts in the sky, casually conjuring up the bronze ore vein, and Di Tian below, they even felt that, just as Mo Yuan had said, Di Tian was a traitorous minister...

Boundless darkness seeped from the space and swirled around Di Tian. His huge dragon eyes stared intently at Mo Yuan high above, flashing with a chilling light.

As the winds shifted and thunder roared, when Di Tian's aura reached its peak, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon's gaping maw slowly opened a crack, revealing its sharp teeth that gleamed with a cold light.

"Wan Longyan!"

The jet-black dragon flames erupted from Di Tian's mouth, transforming into a giant pillar of fire hundreds of meters in diameter, which surged toward Mo Yuan high in the sky with unstoppable force.

Flames sliced ​​through the air, the scorching heat distorting the space itself before melting and shattering like a plastic film.

At this critical moment, Mo Yuan had already completed all his actions. The bronze vein, which was several kilometers long, was completely melted down by alchemy and transformed into a bronze nail that was more than ten meters long.

The nail is engraved with countless intricate and mysterious patterns, all of which tell everyone that this long nail, cast from the most ordinary bronze, is no ordinary object.

As the myriad dragon flames hurtled towards him, a glimmer of clarity suddenly appeared in Mo Yuan's eyes, which were filled with rage. It was humanity. Yes, after being immersed in Nidhogg's wrath for so long, Mo Yuan finally regained control of his body.

He closed his eyes and then laughed wildly, opening his arms wide in the thunder and storm as if to embrace the world!
With massive bronze spikes standing behind him, he now holds the power and authority that belong to Nidhogg!

The world is under his control; the earth trembles with his heartbeat! Even the storms must keep pace with his breath!

He is the center of the world, he is the supreme king!
Mo Yuan opened his eyes, revealing a pair of golden pupils identical to Nidhogg's, and an oppressive aura, seemingly solidifying, enveloped the heavens and earth.

The ever-flowing river of fate was blocked by his light, creating a dust-free land. This world has been blocked by him, and all attempts to spy will be in vain!

He stretched out his hand towards Wan Longyan and Di Tian below, issuing an irresistible command in the manner of a god!
"Undo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Longyan, whose attack was equivalent to the full force of a level 99 Limit Douluo, vanished without a trace.

Heaven and earth obeyed the king's command.

"This is impossible!"

Di Tian's face was full of disbelief, as if he had witnessed the greatest lie in the world, but no matter how much he disbelieved it, he could not ignore the fact.

Within Mo Yuan's domain, even the law of conservation of energy has become a lie that can be trampled upon.

The icy sea whipped up icy waves that crashed against the bronze pillars, then solidified into crystal steps, each step reflecting horrific scenes from different timelines.

Di Tian, ​​whose heart was pierced by bronze nails; the jade swan, turned into a stone statue; and the burning core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Nidhogg's tail stinger gently swept across the ice steps, as if considering whether to imprint these most brutal future scenarios into the dimension of reality. At the same time, it raised its head to look at the outside world, its golden eyes overlapping once again.

"The blood of kings must end with the sword!" Mo Yuan said softly.

"You will surely pay for your transgression with pain." A majestic yet indifferent voice resounded between heaven and earth.

Two distinct voices merged together, echoing in every corner of the Star Dou Great Forest. All the soul beasts lowered their unruly heads and prostrated themselves on the ground, as if welcoming their king.

“You will pay for your arrogance with your eyes.”

"You must pay for your betrayal with blood!"

The bronze spike called 'Judgment' suddenly emitted a vibrating hum, and the phantom of the World Tree Yggdrasil appeared at its tip.

The moment Mo Yuan grasped the nail handle, all the metal objects on the Douluo Continent simultaneously pointed towards the battlefield, as if paying homage to the newly born weapon of destruction.

The skulls on Nidhogg's wings began to chant the prophecy of Ragnarok, and the ripples stirred by the songs of the dead tore a crack in the sky, through which lava flowed.

With enormous black wings unfurled behind him, he formed a giant cross with his wings and body, standing between the void and darkness. His golden eyes gleamed with a majestic light, and his jet-black scales exuded the coldness of a monarch.

He looked down at the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and the earth trembled. A giant bronze cross, rusted and covered in blood, as if Jesus had once hung there, rose behind Di Tian. That would be his final resting place.

“Those who overstep their bounds shall be punished by nailing to the bone.”

"This... is the price of rebellion."

Mo Yuan's left hand began to carbonize into ash; his body was still unable to withstand the power of Nidhogg, the Supreme Being, the Virtuous One, and the Mightiest One.

But he still held the bronze nail high towards the heavens, and the dragon runes on the nail lit up one by one, from Shang and Zhou inscriptions to cuneiform script, and finally all collapsed into the most primitive dragon blood pact.

Di Tian looked at all this and suddenly let out a bitter laugh. He realized that he was wrong. He was not fighting against Mo Yuan, a human, but against the supreme black dragon.

Therefore, everything he just did was an act of usurpation, a challenge to the king's authority by a humble subordinate.

He is unforgivable.

The reason he knew all this was because he saw the black dragon standing atop the bronze pillar in the icy sea in those golden eyes…

But now it's all too late; his Achilles' heel is about to unleash a blood-red countdown.

—This is a death sentence unique to the Black King's Trials.

But he didn't give up. He unleashed his strongest attack, the divine skill—Dragon God Claw—in an attempt to survive.

After all, only by surviving can one have the possibility of atonement.

As the last wave of the icy sea crashed against the base of the bronze pillar, the nail of judgment that pierced the heavens and earth transformed into a stream of light and fell, piercing the dragon god's claws and splashing out blood of despair.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's right hand was pierced by a bronze nail and then nailed to the bronze cross that had been erected behind him.

Acrid blood flowed from the scales, dripping onto the bronze. He lowered his proud dragon head, like a sinner begging for divine forgiveness.

"No! Di Tian!!"

Biji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out desperate and sorrowful cries as they broke free from Xiong Jun and Wan Yao Wang's obstruction and rushed toward the disheveled figure.

During this time, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked up at the god-like figure in the sky, and it was this one glance that caused golden blood to seep from its third eye.

She saw that the threads of fate entwined around that person were a thousand times more dazzling than those around her, the chosen one of destiny.

She saw that the ends of the golden threads were tied with jet-black cuneiform script, each stroke gnawing at the very foundation of time and space. She heard the countdown to Ragnarok flowing through the man's veins, and even the healing light of the Emerald Swan could not conceal this decaying aura from the ends of the universe.

This scene nearly drove the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to despair. It turned out that the god of fate he had worshipped all his life was nothing more than a scrap on someone else's dinner table...
