Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 159 The End of the World, Dragon Servant Apophis (4K)

"What?!" Old Ma's eyes lit up and he quickly turned around to look ahead. He saw a huge, boundless ice floe floating at the end of his line of sight, like an ice field.

He carefully examined the ice field, and after confirming that the area was large enough, he gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind.

We absolutely cannot play cat-and-mouse games with those Demon Soul Great White Sharks anymore! Otherwise, even if those beasts don't make a move, they will definitely die at the hands of the powerful sea spirit beasts lurking deep in the icy sea!

Without hesitation, Elder Ma shouted, "Continue to accelerate! Charge onto the ice plains! The strongest among these Demon Soul Great White Sharks is only 50,000 years old! As long as we enter the depths of the ice plains, they won't be able to catch up! At that time, there might still be a glimmer of hope!"

"Yes!"

The soul-guided ship accelerated suddenly again, its soul-guided protective shield shining brightly, and it smashed through the waves like a swordfish cutting through the sea.

After giving the order, Old Ma immediately turned around to see how the group of demonic great white sharks would react to their acceleration. But what he saw made him freeze in place, and the hope that had risen within him vanished without a trace.

The group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks that had been chasing them for days suddenly stopped! Hundreds of Demon Soul Great White Sharks stopped in place, revealing only their huge dorsal fins.

"Oh no..." Old Ma muttered blankly, his eyes filled with despair.

The fact that the Great White Shark stopped chasing after them here can only mean one thing.

That means this is their true destination, and the most likely reason they stopped moving is that there is something they fear ahead!
"So that's how it is... We were just bait they used to scout the way..." In a flash, Old Ma guessed the Demon Soul Great White Shark's motive.

Thinking of this, Old Ma subconsciously wanted the ship to stop immediately and not move forward anymore, after all, there might be a being there that even this group of demonic soul great white sharks, which were comparable to 100,000-year-old soul beasts, feared!

Those people would absolutely face certain death if they went there!
"Stop immediately—" Old Ma was about to give the order when he suddenly remembered something, and a look of madness appeared in his eyes.

Staying here means certain death, and moving forward also means certain death, so we might as well go to that unknown place and gamble on a chance of survival!
The students, struggling to stand in the pouring rain, shouted, "Teacher, what did you say?!"

"I said advance!" Old Ma roared, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the approaching ice field. "Advance! Advance! Advance by any means necessary!"

……

Boom! ! !
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, torrential rain poured down, and a hurricane swept wildly across the sea, whipping up waves several meters high.

The group of great white sharks that had stopped chasing suddenly started moving again, swimming to both sides and revealing the center.

Two silver dorsal fins, one large and one small, emerged from the sea, marking the arrival of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Princess Bai Xiuxiu, and her guards.

"Mother, is there really something more terrifying than you there?" Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on the ship struggling through the raging waves.

On the research vessel, Old Ma wiped the rain and cold sweat from his face. They were now very close to the ice floe, and it would only take a few more minutes to complete the landing.

As he drew closer, the old man, who knew the real danger, began to pound his heart, his hair stood on end, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

almost……

It's coming soon...

Old Ma kept repeating to himself. Suddenly, just as they struggled to break through a towering wave that was ten meters high, it was as if they had crossed some kind of red line.

As the seawater slid off the hull and visibility returned, the three remaining people saw the thick, grayish-white mist that was quietly rising from the sea.

The grayish-white mist was like ordinary mist, ethereal and formless, and could be shattered with a flick of the wrist. Yet it was also exceptionally dense, so dense that the visible range was less than half a meter, and even the range of mental exploration was reduced to this distance.

What does this mean? Only when two people are face to face, pressed tightly together, can they clearly see each other's faces! Everything else is filled with gray and white.

Standing on the swaying deck, Old Ma's heart pounded like a war drum. He could see nothing but the crisp sound of raindrops and the terrified cries of the remaining two students.

The guess came true; there really is a terrifying place here!
As the ship slowly moved forward through the gray mist, the violent rocking gradually subsided, and the sound of the waves silently returned to calm.

Only the gray mist and the cold rain told Old Ma that he was still alive.

Old Ma slowed his breathing, as did the other two students who had gathered around, as if afraid of disturbing the mysterious entity hidden in the gray-white mist with their breathing.

Blah blah blah...

The sound of the sea rang out again at a certain moment, but this time it was very soft and slow, more like the sound of the tide rising on the beach.

Soon after, the extremely dense gray-white mist suddenly began to move. Its movements were slow, yet fleeting.

Old Ma's eyes widened suddenly, and before he could react, he immediately reached out and covered the mouths of the two terrified students beside him.

"Shh..."

The grayish-white mist silently spread outwards along the ship's central axis, revealing a road that was tens of meters wide but less than a hundred meters long, and still could not be seen to end.

The sea was calm, so calm that not a single ripple was stirred. Even the passing of ships and the falling rain did not cause any disturbance, as if the hundreds-of-tons research vessel and the torrential rain had no substance at all, which was extremely eerie.

The water was also different from ordinary seawater. Although it was nighttime, it was normal for seawater to be black.

But the seawater here was abnormally black, with a hint of ghastly green in its inky blackness, which was quite eerie.

Furthermore, as the cradle of all things, the ocean allows any Soul Master with some strength to sense the faint life force emanating from it—a pulsation originating from the source of life.

But the seawater here was different. Old Ma looked at it without the slightest tremor; it was so still and suffocating that he felt as if the seawater itself was dead.

Everything here is so terrifying, yet solemn and dignified, possessing an eerie sense of grand ceremony.

"Teacher... are we really still alive...?"

Old Ma fell silent. He couldn't even be sure if he was still alive. After all, this place was too bizarre, as if all the discovered theorems were being used like toilet paper.

The thunder roared incessantly, threatening to shatter eardrums, but Old Ma felt he couldn't hear anything. In the silence and deathly stillness, he drove once more towards the end of the gray fog corridor, crashing into the gray-white mist...

A soft whoosh—the faint sound of waves suddenly rang out, and at the same time, Old Ma suddenly felt his feet sink. He looked down sharply and was horrified to find that the ship beneath his feet was sinking rapidly!
The buoyancy disappeared at that moment!

"Jump ship!"

Without hesitation, Old Ma shouted and reached out to grab the panicked student beside him, but it was too late.

Exhausted and terrified, the two students slipped and fell to the ground, sliding down the deck into the sea and disappearing into the darkness.

"Damn it!" Old Ma roared, but time would not stop for his anger, and in the blink of an eye the ship had completely sunk.

"Damn it! We're all going to die anyway! Let's gamble!"

After a brief but intense moment of thought, Old Ma gritted his teeth and stomped his foot. Eight spirit rings, one yellow, one purple, one black ...

Rather than sinking into the sea and dying, it's better to rush into the gray fog and gamble on a chance of survival!
It seemed as if the goddess of fate had cast her gaze upon him, and this time, Old Ma finally stood on the side of good fortune.

The sound of sand and gravel being squeezed filled the air. In the gray mist, Old Ma felt the solidity of the earth beneath his feet, and his expression brightened with joy. He then continued running forward.

He was unaware of what had passed; perhaps a minute had gone by, or perhaps a day, as if the concept of time did not exist here.

When a ray of light appeared before him, Old Ma, who had been running for a long time, rushed forward without hesitation, breaking through the gray fog and arriving in a new world.

Bronze-colored mountains rise and fall on the same-colored earth, rain mixed with gray snowflakes falls from the sky, there is neither night nor day in the sky, and half-bright, half-dark light permeates the air.

At the edge of the horizon, amidst countless snow-capped mountains, lies a vast, boundless ice field, exactly like the ice floe we first saw, its pale, frigid air emanating a bone-chilling cold.

Desolate and lifeless are the words that describe this place.

Old Ma stood there, stunned, his scalp tingling and his whole body trembling. "God... is this the end of the world...?"

……

……

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers to the east of the Ice Sea, in the Sunset Forest, under the cover of night, the campfires, radiating light and heat, crackled and popped like firecrackers.

"What's wrong, Yuan? Did you sense some danger?" Ye Guyi asked softly, looking at Mo Yuan who had suddenly opened his eyes and frowned beside her.

“No,” Mo Yuan shook his head, somewhat helplessly, “the problem is in Nibelungen; someone accidentally broke in.”

More than a year had passed since he arrived at the Ice Sea, during which time he had been busy creating Nibelungen and the Black Serpent Dragon Servant.

I finally finished all my busy work recently, and after resting for a few days, Ye Guyi's cultivation level reached level 70. So I went out to hunt soul beasts and relax at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that there were other ways to enter Nibelungen besides being led by Mo Yuan.

"Huh? Besides you, there are other people who can enter the Nibelungen?"

Mo Yuan smiled helplessly and shook his head.

“Nibelungen is not a house that can be completely locked up just because the owner is away. If the owner is not there, it is still possible for outsiders to enter under certain circumstances. For example, the only time my own Nibelungen could be accidentally entered was when a hurricane, torrential rain, or the middle of the night all came at the same time. To get out, you have to do the exact opposite, and you also have to deliberately sink into the sea.”

This can be seen in subway stations in northern Beijing and on elevated highways during rainy nights.

Mo Yuan continued, "Logically speaking, my Nibelungen is located deep in the icy sea. Apart from sea spirit beasts, no other creatures would come here. Moreover, even if sea spirit beasts accidentally stumbled in, given the 'dead' nature of the water in the Nibelungen, those sea spirit beasts would only die, with no chance of surviving."

Therefore, the only outsiders now venturing into the Nibelungen are essentially human.

"Should we go back now?"

"I don't think so. Apophis should be fully formed in the next few days, and it should take care of itself then."

Apophis is a dragon servant created by Mo Yuan based on the black snake. Unlike the Death Dragon, which is a dead servant, Apophis is a pure-blooded dragon, a top-tier second-generation species, and an existence with the heart of a dragon and wisdom.

Considering that this was the second dragon in this world besides himself, Mo Yuan devoted himself to it. If he were stronger, he would have wanted to turn Apophis into the first generation of dragons.

"Okay then, it's good that there are no problems."

After briefly dealing with the Nibelungen matter, Mo Yuan and Ye Guyi prepared to return to their tent to rest, and then search for the light or holy attribute soul beasts that Ye Guyi needed the next day.

The two initially searched within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't even find a trace of a Light-type Soul Beast, let alone the even rarer Holy-type Soul Beast.

After searching unsuccessfully for several days, they finally arrived at Sunset Forest, where there were also many spirit beasts.

As for why they didn't go to the Star Dou Great Forest where there are more soul beasts, that's just a joke. Mo Yuan is certain that if they went there, given Gu Yuena's petty nature, seeing him with Ye Guyi would definitely cause quite a commotion.

The next day arrived quickly. As dawn broke, Mo Yuan and Ye Guyi had already extinguished the campfire and were ready to continue their journey deeper into the Sunset Forest.

Unfortunately, although there are many spirit beasts in Sunset Forest, light-type spirit beasts and holy-type spirit beasts are still extremely rare. The two searched all morning but found no trace of them.

At noon, under the blazing sun, Mo Yuan and Ye Guyi stopped by a clear lake deep in the Sunset Forest. A thin mist rippled across the lake, and the air was exceptionally fresh and pleasant.

"Let's rest for a while and continue our search later," Mo Yuan suggested. He didn't feel tired, but Ye Guyi's strength was still a bit low. In the Soul Beast Forest, she had to ensure that her soul power was above 80% at all times to resist any dangers that might come at any time.

"Okay." Ye Guyi replied softly, her gaze towards Mo Yuan extremely gentle. After spending a year together, she had a basic understanding of the current Mo Yuan.

To summarize, there are three points: serious, gentle, and reliable.

Coupled with her perfect looks, she's practically a killer of the opposite sex. If you also consider her lofty ideals that ignite passion after hearing them, she's practically no different from a succubus, capable of slaying both women and men.

After all, who can resist the temptation of having a separate page for their family tree?
