Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 155 The Seven Old Demons Who Were Scammed Out of Even Their Underpants, Na'er's Identity Exposed

"Young man, do me a favor." The Old Demon of Destruction tried his best to maintain a friendly smile.

The other six demons also looked on with hope.

Nan Liujing immediately walked up to them and said in a deep voice, "I suppose you seniors are the Seven Old Demons that the Pavilion Master mentioned."

The seven old demons were taken aback. During previous military training, the academy would never tell the trainees their identities. Why today?

"What happened? Why would the academy reveal our identities to you beforehand?" Nightmare Demon asked in a deep voice.

Nan Liujing sighed and said, "Seniors, you may not know this, but the academy is already showing signs of falling apart. The outer academy has been cut up and handed over to the Spirit Pagoda because of the cheating incident led by the Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue."

Ceding out the outer courtyard?

Even though the Seven Old Demons were forced to crawl under the pressure of the Destructive Light, they still showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

What exactly is Yun Ming thinking?

"The outer court is one of the foundations of the academy; how can it be ceded?"

The seven old demons started talking all at once, their faces full of indignation.

Nan Liujing thought to himself, "Didn't you guys notice the key point? Senior, the key issue is cheating."

"It's just cheating, it's nothing." The old demon of hatred, with his cold eyes, didn't care at all.

Nan Liujing was speechless for a moment: "Because of the cheating incident, the academy has been constantly criticized by various forces lurking in the shadows and even by ordinary people. The academy can no longer recruit students from outside. As one of the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils, I must grow up quickly in the remaining life of the Pavilion Master and restore the glory of the academy. The reason I came to Devil Island this time is because I absorbed the unknown soul bone that was sent back to the academy from Devil Island back then."

"You absorbed that soul bone?" Upon hearing this, the Seventh Demon, who was still scolding Yun Ming for his actions, suddenly changed his expression.

"No wonder you could move freely under the suppression of the destructive intent; that soul bone really is related to the devil's Destruction Stone."

Nan Liujing nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, but my fusion with this soul bone is not complete. I need a larger amount of spiritual power to improve the degree of fusion between the soul bone and myself, but I have consumed all kinds of rare and precious materials without much effect."

"Unfortunately, the Pavilion Master has placed his hopes on the seniors."

The Seven Demon Lords were stunned: "What do you mean?"

Nan Liujing said in a deep voice, "The soul bone itself possesses a terrifying destructive intent, which is destroying my body every moment. I need to frantically increase my spiritual power level in a short period of time to completely combine with the soul bone. Otherwise, I will be completely destroyed by the destructive intent in less than two years. Therefore, I came to Devil Island hoping to get help from you seniors."

"Why didn't Yunming tell us beforehand?" the Desire Demon questioned.

"The Pavilion Master cannot say, at least he cannot say," Nan Liujing said solemnly. "A thousand years ago, our predecessors risked their lives for the academy, resulting in their demise. For a thousand years, they have remained alone on this island, but their original aspirations have never been forgotten. They have continuously helped the academy train students, making immense contributions and thoroughly embodying the four words 'Academy's honor.' Generations of Shrek Academy members have been proud of you. Therefore, if it were only for the sake of a junior like me, to have you all give up your spiritual power to be reincarnated, I would truly feel ashamed, after all, that would cause the academy to lose a treasure trove for nurturing monsters."

All generations of Shrek members have been proud of you.

These words instantly struck the softest spot in the hearts of the seven old demons, and each of them became dazed.

"Wait a minute." A hint of surprise appeared on the Sloth Demon's fat face. "You mean, after we send out our spiritual energy, we can be reincarnated?"

Upon hearing this, the other six demons, who were still basking in Nan Liujing's flattery, all changed their expressions drastically.

"They've taken the bait..." Nan Liujing said solemnly, "That's right. The reason I went straight to the Stone of Destruction as soon as I arrived on the island was because of the guidance of the Soul Bone. The reason why you seniors are trapped here is simply because your souls are trapped by the will to destroy. After I completely control the Soul Bone, I can free you seniors from your confinement."

"Whether you are willing to bestow your spiritual power upon this junior is something you seniors may consider. If you are not willing, I will leave immediately. Otherwise, the destructive intent in this place is too strong, and I will not even live for two years."

With the mental power of a half-step Spirit Realm cultivator, Nan Liujing's demeanor and words were perfect to the extreme. Unless it was a powerful expert like Yun Ming, no one would be able to see the problem.

Na'er was bewildered.

Did the teacher explain these things before coming?

What is my brother saying?
Never mind, whatever my brother says is right anyway.

The Seven Demons felt a lightness in their bodies and were able to stand up.

They quickly got up, but noticed that a deep purplish-black color had appeared on Nan Liujing's face, and his whole body was still trembling, with the destructive light of the heavens constantly drifting around him.

The seven old demons looked at each other in bewilderment.

"How to say?"

"Is it credible?"

"He absorbed the soul bone, so do you think it's believable? Yun Ming wouldn't be so foolish as to give a soul bone containing the secrets of Devil Island to an outsider, would he?"

The group exchanged mental messages.

Seeing that they still did not answer, Nan Liujing's eyes changed, and he said in a pained voice, "Since you seniors are unwilling, so be it. Please leave this place immediately, otherwise the will to destroy you may suppress you again, and I certainly won't be able to help you then."

"Kid, we agree."

The seven old demons looked resolute, as if they had made up their minds.

Nan Liujing remained silent, his purplish-black light growing increasingly intense, as if he were about to be consumed by the intent of destruction.

The seven old demons panicked immediately, "Boy, how can we help you?"

"Seniors... gather your spiritual energy together, I have a way to absorb it." He spoke these words intermittently.

"Okay, hang in there."

The seven old demons exchanged a smile, a long-lost fervor rekindling in their eyes, which had witnessed the passage of time: "Never thought that one day, even our decaying bodies could fight for a bright future for the academy. See you in the next life, everyone!"

See you in the next life!

As soon as he finished speaking, the souls of the Seven Demon Lords burst forth with a special spiritual light, which Nan Liujing felt was vaguely familiar.

Seven colors of spiritual energy converged above Nan Liujing's head, eventually coalescing into a magnificent crystal.

After doing all this, the seven old demons' souls became noticeably more ethereal, but their faces were filled with excitement.

"Kid, quickly receive the spiritual energy."

Nan Liujing released his spiritual power, quickly drawing the spiritual energy crystal into his brow.

In the days to come, I can gradually absorb and integrate it, and I think I won't have any pressure before reaching the Divine Origin Realm.

hum~
In reality, Nan Liujing raised his right hand, and the Scepter of Destruction slowly took shape. With a gentle shake, the destructive intent that had trapped the Seven Old Demons for thousands of years was completely stripped away.

In an instant, their souls floated up and slowly dissipated, as if some special force was pulling them away.

"It's really done!"

The Seven Demons' faces lit up with joy, but they also felt a little disappointed.

"Seniors."

The purplish-black light emanating from Nan Liujing's body suddenly vanished. He cupped his hands towards the sky and said, "On behalf of the Spirit Pagoda, I thank you!"

"The Spirit Pagoda...?"

The Seven Demons were stunned, but then they saw that Nan Liujing's face was full of gentle smiles, a far cry from his previous half-dead appearance.

"you!!!"

The seven old demons were all shrewd and immediately noticed something was wrong. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

Having fooled others for a thousand years, one day I will be fooled myself.

"Farewell, everyone!"

Nan Liujing held the scepter and waved it again.

The seven old demons roared in anger, but could not utter a sound. Their souls seemed to be blown away by a gentle breeze and completely disappeared.

"It's a pity it can only be used within the Devil's Sea." Nan Liujing glanced at the Scepter of Destruction and couldn't help but sigh.

The moment he grasped the divine artifact, he felt that he would not be afraid even if Yun Ming came. All the destructive power in the Destruction Condensate could be controlled by him. However, once he left the island, the Destruction Scepter could only be used as a wooden stick to cut down the rapeseed flowers within a radius of several miles.

"Brother." Na'er walked over.

"Na'er, just pretend you don't know anything about the Seven Old Demons," Nan Liujing instructed.

“No problem.” Na’er nodded slightly. She didn’t feel a sense of belonging to Shrek Academy, and only Yun Ming and Ya Li were people she cared about.

"What do we do next? The training the teacher mentioned will most likely involve honing our skills under the supervision of those seven people, right?"

Na'er blinked and asked.

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "Come with me."

He turned and left, and Na'er, looking puzzled, quickly followed.

The two soon arrived at a lush green valley.

The spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, even stronger than that of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, and completely different from most of the desolate areas of Devil Island.

Na'er sniffed lightly with her delicate nose, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her pretty face. "Such rich life elements."

Nan Liujing said, "Next, I will bring the life energy that coexists with the power of destruction on Devil Island. You should absorb it as soon as possible. The process will probably last for a few months, enough time for us to finish our training and go back to report."

"Mmm." Na'er nodded repeatedly.

Nan Liujing immediately closed his eyes, the sound of his heart beating rang out, and the life core in his body was running at high speed, with layers of green-gold ripples spreading outward from his feet.

The natural realm! The Devil's Islands, subdivided into numerous smaller islands, were suddenly filled with pure green-gold light spots rising from the deathly dark world, and the intensity of life elements between heaven and earth began to surge wildly.

Life holds an irreplaceable attraction for any living thing.

Billions of points of light covered the sky above the Devil's Islands, as brilliant as stars, and then intertwined like a misty blue wave as they drifted toward the central island. Outside the Devil's Sea, countless figures began to emerge from the water.

These were none other than various sea spirit beasts that had long resided in this place.

Soul beasts ranging from a hundred years old to a hundred thousand years old were all attracted here. Some even called out to each other, summoning more of their kind to come and eat.

Under Nan Liujing's deliberate guidance, a continuous stream of life energy flowed into Na'er's body.

"Absorb it without distraction." Nan Liujing said something surprising, "The Silver Dragon King bloodline within you should undergo a special transformation."

"elder brother……"

Na'er's delicate body trembled, and her eyes widened suddenly; she was somewhat incredulous.

Nan Liujing smiled gently. "Don't overthink it. You will always be my Na'er, and the one I love."

Na'er felt the energy surging within her body become scalding hot, and her heart also felt burning with passion, making her feel a great sense of relief.

She gazed at him, her purple eyes filled with honeyed affection. She said nothing, but simply sat cross-legged on the ground. Her delicate body quickly emitted a brilliant silver light, like a vortex, frantically absorbing life energy.

Nan Liujing's expression was filled with mixed emotions. He had always been worried about one thing: Na'er possessed 30% of the Silver Dragon King's essence, meaning she wasn't a complete being. Given this, was there a way to make Na'er's 30% bloodline complete, so she wouldn't have to worry about fighting Gu Yue over the complete Silver Dragon King body in the future?
The life energy of Devil Island originates from the Goddess of Life, and its intensity is high enough to allow the bloodline of soul beasts to evolve. This is why the soul beasts of Devil Island, even knowing that the destructive power nearby can easily kill them, still flock to it, willing to wait for the life tide that comes only once every few decades.

Perhaps this is the way to change everything.

After confirming that Na'er was in a deep meditative state, Nan Liujing flashed and arrived at the edge of the island a moment later. He could see the dark and blue sea waters at a glance, as well as the countless sea spirit beasts swimming around.

"Roar."

The seawater burst open, splashing up towering waves, and layers of soul power surged and collided, accompanied by continuous roars of beasts.

The sea spirit beasts watched helplessly as the tide of life appeared, but were unable to eat as before, causing them great anxiety.

In order to vent their anger, some powerful sea spirit beasts simply beat up the weaker ones.

Who is the beast king of this sea area?

Nan Liujing's body was enveloped in lightning and magma, and the two-word battle armor 'God' suddenly possessed him. He flashed and stepped into the void, looking down at the sea.

The sudden arrival of human presence instantly alerted several dominant 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the sea.

"Human! Was this your doing?"

A deep sound echoed across the sea, and from the azure waters, a massive black shadow burst forth, intimidating tens of thousands of sea spirit beasts present.

It was a giant sea turtle, resembling a human warship, its shell covered with coral-like thorns, with faint blue swirling winds constantly moving around, ready to unleash a massive tsunami at any moment.

A two-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Dragon Turtle.

Its deep blue beastly eyes stared intently at Nan Liujing.

Nan Liujing remained indifferent, his gaze calmly sweeping over the menacing sea spirit beasts.

With a swift grab of his right hand, the Scepter of Destruction fell into his grasp, and then he lightly tapped the void.

"boom--"

A deep purple lightning bolt suddenly tore through the sky, like a god's indifferent response. In an instant, the edge of the Devil's Sea, several kilometers away from the Devil's Islands, trembled violently. The extremely violent destructive power evaporated all the seawater within a kilometer radius, forming a vast void. Purple mist rose eerily, dyeing the azure sky a deep purplish-black.

Dead silence.

Devil Island, which was crowded with sea spirit beasts, fell silent in an instant, with only the sound of the seawater lapping against their bodies echoing in the air.

"I admit, my voice was a bit too loud just now."

If the dragon-like creature had a human form, it would surely be sweating profusely.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you guys." Nan Liujing waved the Destruction Scepter, instantly frightening the sea spirit beast that was pointed at.

"Your Majesty, please speak, we are listening."

A grayish-white sea demon whale trembled as it said, "I assure you, the sea spirit beasts here are all honest and obedient."

"Yeah!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will be absolutely obedient and honest."

The intelligent sea spirit beasts collectively released their mental energy to express their attitude.

Compared to life, life energy is nothing.

"Very good." Nan Liujing nodded in satisfaction and transmitted his thoughts, "You want to absorb life energy, right?"

"No, no." The dragon-like beasts, who were over 100,000 years old, quickly explained, "We were just passing by. Since we were already here, we thought we'd come and take a look. Please don't misunderstand, we'll leave right away."

"Why are you so nervous? I'm not a demon," Nan Liujing said calmly.

The sea spirit beasts could only force a smile and say, "We were just afraid of bothering you."

Nanliujing remained silent, and waved his scepter.

"Oops!"

Upon seeing this, the sea spirit beasts in the waters surrounding Devil Island were instantly terrified and tried to flee in panic.

However, just when the weak sea spirit beast was being squeezed by the powerful sea spirit beast and couldn't move at all, and was preparing to wait for death, an unexpected scene occurred.

But when the scepter fell, no lightning tore through the sky appeared. Instead, the dark waters that had hindered the sea spirit beast became clear again, and the terrifying aura of destruction was gone.

"In the coming months, before I depart, you may absorb as much life energy as you wish."

Nan Liujing spoke softly.

stupid.

Tens of thousands of sea spirit beasts were dumbfounded.

Is this human really not entrapping law enforcement?

"Although I am human, I do not kill indiscriminately." Nan Liujing flew towards the valley, his voice carrying far and wide. "Soul beasts are also a part of this world. If you can take this opportunity to strengthen your bloodline, then remember the kindness I have shown you. Not only you, but other sea soul beasts can also come here. You may spread the word."

"But remember, in the Devil's Sea, the strong are forbidden from bullying the weak. Everyone has the right to absorb life energy fairly, and violators will die! Also, anyone who deliberately attacks a human ship after their strength has greatly increased will also die!"

The two words "death" stunned the entire audience.

Long Ao asked in a deep voice, "May I ask your name, Your Excellency?"

"Nanliujing".

The sound faded away gradually.

But in the hearts of all the sea spirit beasts present, it resonated even more deeply.

Long Ao stared blankly in the direction of Devil Island, and the image of that powerful being who had conquered the entire ocean single-handedly when he was young involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

He was also human, yet he designated certain sea areas where the strong were forbidden from bullying the weak, giving the weaker beast groups a chance to survive.

Unfortunately, since that great one left, the new sea god has clearly not cared as much about the sea.

The sea has once again become a slaughterhouse where life and death are intertwined.

The ocean is no longer a completely safe place. Many sea spirit beasts have become extinct before humanity even rises to power, and the vast ocean is no longer as lively as it once was.

"Boss, should we notify the sea spirit beast clans in the surrounding waters?"

The 100,000-year-old sea demon whale swam over and asked in a low voice.

Human technological advancements have led some sea spirit beasts to set aside past grievances and cooperate to jointly resist threats, resulting in very close ties between them.

“We can’t shout. What if that human did this on purpose and then wipes us all out when more sea spirit beasts arrive?” Another 100,000-year-old spirit beast voiced its objection.

"notify."

Amidst the ongoing debate, Long'ao's single statement settled the matter.

The hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts were stunned, but they saw the resolute look in Long Ao's eyes.

"It's funny, but I think I saw Lord Poseidon."

A hint of reminiscence appeared in Long'ao's eyes.

"If he were here, the ocean would be countless times stronger than it is today."

The spirit beasts fell silent; they too had experienced that glorious era of the sea.

"Tell me," Long Ao asked cautiously, "can this Nan Liujing become someone like Lord Poseidon?"

The 100,000-year-old soul beasts were stunned.

Long Ao stared intently at Devil Island, and he felt...

can!
