Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 210 Rebellious Disciple and Disrespectful Master (×) Rebellious Disciple and Disrespectful Master (√)

"Rumble--"

Within the boundless forest, blinding lightning bolts poured down from the sky as swiftly as a storm. Colossal pillars, blotting out the sun, slammed fiercely into the earth, their countless dragon scales spewing forth a powerful roar, like ten thousand dragons roaring together, creating a deafening spectacle.

Under the crushing force of the immense staff intent, the primordial energy of heaven and earth became viscous like paste and as hard as iron. The staff intent, formless and intangible, silently invaded the shattered void, merging with the supremely powerful and yang thunder, unleashing a majestic and righteous aura powerful enough to make the laws of nature tremble.

In the lush forest, before the stick even arrived, the lightning had already torn apart all the trees within a radius of a kilometer, and the terrifying heat melted everything, leaving behind a scorched black landscape.

"Roar."

The beast, comparable to a Super Douluo, had its limbs, as hard as metal, snapped with a crack. Its body, as if bearing the weight of a mountain, slammed heavily onto the ground. Its head tried to let out a roar of unwilling anger, and its green-gold pupils reflected the ever-growing Panlong Staff.

The dense protective light, under the baptism of thunder, was like a piece of paper riddled with holes. Finally, accompanied by a burst of green-gold light mist, this strange beast, which was capable of going head-to-head with a human super Douluo, was directly crushed into countless fragments of light.

"Boom-"

The Dragon Staff landed like a war drum, its intent merging with violent electricity, creating a circular shockwave that swept outwards like a tsunami. The earth was forcibly lowered several feet and collapsed downwards, leaving streaks of lightning resembling tributaries of a great river. The air crackled violently, as if trembling with fear under the blow.

call out.

The lightning struck, and the man with the stick stood amidst the ruins.

The lightning on his body subsided, and the armor that had been drastically increasing his combat power merged back into his body and disappeared.

A handsome face appeared, with a pair of dark blue eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows. The eyes were cold and sharp, but the curve at the corners of his eyes revealed a gentle warmth, as if he were always carrying a slight smile, which made people feel at ease.

He reached out and a crystal filled with deep green-gold light flew quickly from afar and was caught in his hand.

"This should be the last one."

The young man murmured softly, revealing his exhaustion.

His dark blue eyes gazed into the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Almost two years, a little faster than planned. Not bad. I have to reward myself with a hot spring bath later."

After putting away the crystal, the young man's mind stirred, and the space beside him began to ripple. He flashed and flew directly into it.

Inside a small, isolated space.

The young man stepped onto the soft grass, his gaze falling on a colossal ancient tree in the distance, which seemed to blot out the sky.

A beautiful figure flew over from afar. She had an exquisite face, a gentle and charming temperament, snow-white and delicate skin, and a figure that was so voluptuous that it took one's breath away. She was neither too fat nor too thin, and was almost perfect to the extreme.

"Are you injured?"

The woman asked with concern.

"Don't worry, teacher, everything is fine."

The young man smiled at the woman.

They were none other than Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu, who had been trapped in the restricted area of ​​a small plane for nearly two years.

As time passed, Nan Liujing grew taller, reaching nearly two meters in height, his figure resembling a verdant bamboo or pine tree, exceptionally upright.

Leng Yaozhu hasn't changed much, but after two years of spending time together, the majesty she once displayed in the Spirit Pagoda has become like a fine wine that has aged for many years, rich and fragrant, with a more mellow taste and less passion.

hum~
At that moment, a soft green-gold light appeared.

The master and apprentice looked at each other calmly.

A figure, not exceptionally beautiful, but incredibly gentle, materialized in mid-air.

She is the Goddess of Life, one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm.

"Senior, this should be the last extra crystal we need, right?" Nan Liujing's soul light surged as he dragged the extra crystal to the remnant soul of the Goddess of Life.

“Very good.” The Goddess of Life smiled gently. “Next, I will use these scattered divine powers to transfer the right to use the Ancient Tree of Life to you. During this process, you will receive an excellent response.”

Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu's eyes flickered, and the latter couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

The Goddess of Life smiled and said, "It should improve Liu Jing's cultivation level, but I don't know the exact level."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but feel delighted.

Nan Liujing raised an eyebrow. With the help of the dimensional mark, he had almost leveled up by nearly twenty in just under two years, which was absolutely unbelievable in the outside world.

At only eighteen years and two months old, his cultivation has already reached level eighty-four. Therefore, it will be no problem for him to break through to the Title Douluo level before the age of nineteen, and breaking the record of the Underworld Emperor Halosa at the age of nineteen is entirely possible.

The main reason is that the concentration of primordial energy within the restricted area is extremely high, which greatly enhances the auxiliary effect of the dimensional imprint.

"Liu Jing, get ready."

The goddess of life spoke solemnly.

"Yes," Nan Liujing said solemnly.

Leng Yaozhu's eyes were filled with smiles as she eagerly prepared to welcome her beloved disciple as the master of the super artifact.

With a flick of her jade hand, the life force within the alien crystal, like a laser beam, was injected into the ancient tree of life.

Suddenly, the entire enormous ancient tree began to tremble slightly, and its countless emerald-like leaves shone with a soft green-gold light.

At the same time, a mark appeared on the back of Nan Liujing's hand, which was none other than the ancient tree divine mark that he had planted back then.

It looks like it's raining.

Looking up, Nan Liujing saw countless raindrop-like strands of light gently falling.

At that moment, the goddess of life suddenly appeared before him, her jade hand resting on his chest. "In my name, I bestow upon you authority!"

Suddenly, countless rays of light surged forth, using the Goddess of Life as a bridge, and rushed wildly into Nan Liujing's body.

In an instant, Nan Liujing's consciousness expanded infinitely like the Big Bang. In the darkness, the entire forbidden zone and even the world of the small plane appeared in his mind, and he could vaguely hear the rhythm of life breathing.

Every life in the world was clearly reflected in his spiritual perception.

Unlike the extremes and desolation he felt when he wielded the Scepter of Destruction, Nan Liujing is now experiencing unparalleled gentleness and benevolence.

Nan Liujing understood that it wasn't something he could perceive with his spiritual power. Even though he had mastered the spiritual realm, he couldn't encompass the entire small plane. This was what the Ancient Tree of Life was telling him.

The ancient tree seal on the back of his right hand shone even brighter.

It was at this moment that Nan Liujing, whose whole body was glowing with green and gold light, saw his soul power strength increase visibly.

Level 85, level 86... level 88, level 89, life energy cleansed everything about him, both his soul power and his physique. But just as he was about to touch the Title Douluo realm, his advancement came to an abrupt halt.

"I feel very reassured entrusting the Tree of Life to you."

The goddess of life smiled gently and released her hand from Nan Liujing's chest.

Nan Liujing felt the astonishing vitality growing within his body, and shock appeared in his eyes.

This reminded him of the Golden Dragon King's original bloodline that he had fused with over the past two years. The two complemented each other, and it was no exaggeration to say that at that time, his physical body was already comparable to that of Aruheng at his peak. This was the reward brought by the Ancient Tree of Life's super artifact, a true blessing from a god-king.

This was nothing like the kiss Tang Wulin received from the Goddess of Life in the God Realm. The Goddess of Life said, "There's one more thing I need to tell you."

Nan Liujing suppressed his excitement: "Please speak, senior." Choosing to go all in and stay in the minor plane was definitely the best decision he had ever made.

The Goddess of Life said solemnly, "What the Ancient Tree of Life gives you is not only life energy, but also a wisp of creative power. It is what my lover and I sacrificed to help the God Realm resist the remnants of the spacetime turbulence. Although the amount is small, it is enough to help you condense a brand new divine position. Of course, what the divine position is depends on your martial soul."

Both Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu showed surprise in their eyes.

Nan Liujing hurriedly asked, "Senior, I already have the inheritance of the Thunder God. Can this power of creation be used on the Thunder God's divine position?"

Currently, the position of Thor is still at the level of a main god. If he could directly advance to the level of a god king, wouldn't that save a lot of faith power in the Douluo plane?
"No." The goddess of life quickly poured cold water on the situation.

Nanliujing inevitably felt a little disappointed.

The Goddess of Life said, "The treasure that can elevate one's divine status is called the power of chaos, but the power of creation is not."

Nan Liujing narrowed his eyes, thinking of the chaotic power absorbed by the Great God Circle. It was during that time that Tang San and the others' strength increased significantly, and they were only one step away from becoming the legendary Supreme God Lord.

The Goddess of Life calmly said, "My personal suggestion is that you give this wisp of creative power to Yaozhu."

Nan Liujing suddenly realized, "That's right. I went to the God Realm twice, but I didn't bring back a suitable divine position for my teacher. Now that I have the opportunity, wouldn't it be better to let my teacher create a divine position that is exclusive to her?"

Leng Yaozhu stood to the side, somewhat stunned. She hadn't expected to be dragged into this.

"Senior, what should I do?" Nan Liujing asked decisively.

The Goddess of Life smiled and said, "It's very simple. Once you two unite in yin and yang, you will be able to transfer this wisp of creative power to Yaozhu."

"The union of yin and yang?"

Nan Liujing was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Leng Yao's full, red lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment.

“That’s right.” The Goddess of Life nodded. “Only through this method can you unleash the power of creation. What’s wrong? Is there some unspeakable difficulty on your part?”

Nan Liujing and Leng Yaozhu looked at each other, their expressions somewhat puzzled.

The Goddess of Life asked in confusion, "Over the past two years, I've seen you two bathing together in the hot springs quite a few times. Although you weren't completely intimate, it was pretty much the same. Besides, after each battle with the monsters, it was Yaozhu who massaged you to relieve the fatigue from the battle. I've also noticed that the way she looks at you from behind is exactly like how I look at my lover. Could I be mistaken?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Liujing's expression immediately froze, and he subconsciously looked at Leng Yaozhu.

Leng Yaozhu looked like a little girl who had been caught lying; her pretty face instantly flushed crimson.

Seeing the two men's different expressions, the Goddess of Life couldn't help but chuckle to herself. She was doing this simply because the God of Destruction had entrusted her with something long ago.

The God of Destruction had long seen that Nan Liujing had special feelings for his teacher, so he simply went with the flow and asked his wife for help.

However, the Goddess of Life was not lying. Since the power of creation had already merged with the ancient tree of life, the only way to transfer it out was through the union of yin and yang. But only the first person to unite with Nan Liujing through yin and yang could obtain this extremely precious existence in the vast universe.

“It seems I misunderstood,” the Goddess of Life continued to help. “I’m so sorry.”

"Do not."

Before Nan Liujing could speak, Leng Yaozhu suddenly stepped forward decisively.

Nan Liujing looked at her, and the Goddess of Life also looked at her.

Leng Yaozhu gently placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heart pounding violently there, and solemnly said, "Your Majesty, you have no misunderstanding. I do indeed have special feelings for Liu Jing. In other words, my love for him is not just the affection between teacher and student, but also includes romantic love."

Nan Liujing's pupils contracted slightly, stunned by Leng Yaozhu's open and honest words.

Previously, the two of them had kept their feelings hidden deep inside, waiting for the day they would be unearthed. They never expected that the goddess of life would dig them out ahead of time.

Leng Yaozhu maintained her captivating smile, her wine-red eyes gazing at Nan Liujing with boundless tenderness. She began to tell a story: "When you were little, you were taken to the Heavenly Spirit Tower. Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother made you become my disciple. In truth, with your Panlong Staff Martial Soul and my Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul, what could I possibly teach you? Besides, your family members were already top-tier experts, and you were their only descendant, so their cultivation resources were practically inexhaustible."

"So at first I didn't take you seriously until you showed top-notch cultivation talent and temperament. At that time, I was indeed moved, but more so I wanted to take you as my disciple and nurture you into a top-level expert. Because I had already planned to live out my days alone, but the family's foundation was still there, and as the clan leader, I had to do something."

"Then one day, you made a seemingly ordinary breakfast. The taste reminded me of my younger sister who grew up with me. She would make almost the same breakfast every day, always smiling and waiting for me to eat together. Those were the most relaxing and pleasant times in a tiring life of cultivation. Later, something happened to my sister, and she left. I lived alone in the huge family, shouldering the responsibility of the increasingly weak family all by myself. I was very tired, but I dared not dream of a comfortable life. In the end, I became strong and used ruthless means to deter countless villains. But looking back, it seems that I have done a good job in every role I have played, except for myself."

"The days just passed by slowly like that, and I thought that until I grew old and died, nothing would change much."

As she spoke, Leng Yaozhu's tone shifted, from melancholy to clarity, and the tenderness she felt when looking at Nan Liujing turned into heartfelt joy and relief.

"Until you joined me, you suddenly brought a ray of light to my gloomy and ordinary days."

Nan Liujing pursed her lips tightly.

"Later I saw my sister again, but by then she had completely fallen into evil, her hands stained with countless blood debts. I fought with her, and I wanted to persuade her that I still wanted to go back to the days when my beloved sister was with me. That would have been wonderful, but I knew that such a life could never be returned to."

“After the battle, I returned to the Heavenly Spirit Tower, took a lot of wine, and wanted to get myself drunk so that I could wash my face the next day and go back to that high and mighty, yet incredibly lonely identity. Suddenly, you barged in.” A reminiscing smile appeared on Leng Yaozhu’s face. “I was already drunk at the time. You walked in and sat next to me, deliberately bringing up the topic. I was probably really drunk, or maybe I just wanted to find someone to confide in, and I blurted out all my past to you.”

"At first I regretted it, until you said those words."

The memory of that night subconsciously surfaced in Nan Liujing's mind.

What he said to the lonely Leng Yaozhu was...

"I'll face this with you!"

Leng Yaozhu continued to recount her experiences, vividly and melodiously recounting her past.

The goddess of life has departed.

Only Nan Liujing remained as a listener.

As if he had made a decision, Nan Liujing resolutely walked towards Leng Yaozhu.

At the same time, the story came to an end.

Leng Yaozhu tilted her head slightly, looking at the man who had always been by her side.

Nan Liujing also looked down at that delicate face. Her once dignified and beautiful face was now flushed with a blush.

Nan Liujing felt as if his whole body was on fire, and his voice seemed to be suppressing something: "Yaozhu."

Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly, her eyes filled with affection.

She took Nan Liujing's hand and led him towards the hot spring pool, saying as they walked, "You can call me Yaozhu in private, but not in public, understand?"

Nan Liujing chuckled, his words carrying a pointed meaning: "So what do we do next?"

Leng Yaozhu didn't say anything, but blushed and pulled him into the grove, heading towards the hot spring pool.

Two figures slowly stepped inside, the swirling heat mist outlining their hazy forms.

On the soft grass leading to the pool, pieces of underwear were carelessly discarded by their owner.

"Crash."

Not long after, the sound of the hot spring water churning violently suddenly came from the pool.
