Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 235 Nan Liujing: Holy Lord, thank you for your gift!
"This child must not be kept!"

"Sacrifice! Add five more kings, who's willing to come?"

A deep, majestic voice echoed through the depths of the abyss.

The ten Abyss Emperors, who had prepared sacrifices in advance in an attempt to expand the size of the Blood God Seal, fiercely charged towards it, carrying the Plane Seed with grim expressions.

"Rumble--"

A deafening and terrifying explosion occurred, instantly disrupting the laws of the abyss. Countless weak abyssal creatures collapsed along with their respective planes before even reaching the Douluo plane.

Visibly, a huge crack appeared in the crimson light membrane that blocked the abyss plane.

It looked like a gap left by someone piercing through it with a divine weapon.

The power of the laws belonging to the Douluo plane began to be eroded by the primordial laws of the Abyss plane, and its resistance plummeted.

But the Douluo plane is ultimately a top-tier lower plane. Even though it has long since withered, it is still much more resilient than a special plane like the Abyss, which has no roots.

Sensing the attempt by another dimension to invade, the fundamental laws of the Douluo plane decisively began self-repair.

"The abyss is eternal!"

Seeing this, five more Abyss Kings, after a brief moment of consideration, decided to take a gamble and chose to sacrifice themselves.

Soon, five more explosions followed, completely destroying the already slow-repairing crimson light membrane and tearing open a gap in the abyss passage large enough to accommodate a large number of abyss kings.

"Emperor Zhi, you will oversee the rear. Emperor Hei, Emperor Bee, you will fight together. Emperor Hua, find the right opportunity and try to seize this human's body. If you succeed, I might not even need the Demon Emperor's body and can directly descend to Douluo Star ahead of schedule."

A blood-red eye quietly opened, its diameter reaching a terrifying tens of kilometers.

"As ordered."

The four Abyss Kings, ranked in the top ten, responded excitedly, and then, together with a total of forty Abyss Kings, they crossed the passage between planes.

"They're here! Forty Abyss Kings!"

As Nan Liujing gazed at the Vortex Gate, he seemed to sense something. His brows suddenly relaxed, and he used his spiritual power to transmit a message to the group of powerful Soul Masters who were already hidden outside the defensive line.

The Soul Masters, who were already itching for more, all revealed a fierce glint in their eyes.

"boom."

Just when the defenses seemed stable, an unexpected change occurred.

The deafening roar echoed through the cave. The soldiers guarding the defensive line suddenly narrowed their eyes as they saw the silver-white giant guarding the edge of the cave from which the abyssal creatures emerged be blasted away by a dark demonic claw. As it retreated, its size rapidly shrank until it was only ten meters tall.

The next moment, several terrifying auras surged out, accompanied by an astonishing number of abyssal monsters.

As the thick fog dissipated, it transformed into a pale-skinned woman with a cold and stunningly beautiful appearance. She wore black armor and had a pair of wings made of scales on her back. Her eyes were deep and empty, and the surrounding space clearly showed signs of distortion. The primordial energy of heaven and earth collapsed and finally merged into her pupils. The suppressive force of the laws of the Douluo plane on her was noticeably weakened by a slight amount.

"Black Emperor!"

Being blasted away, Nan Liujing exclaimed in surprise, "Impossible! How could you possibly break free from the suppression of the plane's laws and allow your true form to descend?"

"Nothing is impossible."

Behind the Black Emperor, an Abyss King with a human-like physique spoke with a cold laugh. His face resembled a ferocious lizard, his body was covered in colorful scales, his eyes bulged out and shimmered with an eerie light, making him quite unsettling.

There was another person floating beside the Emperor. She also resembled a human, but her eyes were several times larger than normal. Her body was round and emitted a green light. Upon closer inspection, it could even trigger trypophobia, because her eyeballs were composed of densely packed compound eyes.

Nan Liujing steadied himself, using the power of thunder to annihilate the dark demonic mist entwining his body. His solemn voice, transmitted through his battle armor, reached the defensive line: "Two unknown Abyss Emperors, whose strength is no less than that of the Black Emperor. All Blood Gods, quickly release the complete Blood God Formation."

Shhhhhh.

Soon, several Blood Gods flew out from within the defensive line, joining the five colleagues from before to prepare to support the complete Blood God Formation.

"Delusion."

A hoarse female voice rang out from the Bee Queen's mouth. The space around her twisted and shattered. With a wave of her hand, a vast expanse of black mist flew towards the defensive line. Upon closer inspection, the black mist contained countless swarms of bees the size of fists.

The Abyss Bomb Bee, a terrifying species that caused immense destruction to the Central Legion in its original timeline, wiped out an entire air force combat squadron as soon as it appeared.

Having decided to completely break through the Blood God Legion's defenses, the Abyss Saint King went all in, sending out the Bee Emperor, whom he had never revealed before.

"Fight back!"

Inside the defensive line, Legion Commander Zhang Huanyun was already in position, calmly directing the defensive battle.

In an instant, beams of light and soul-guided cannonballs swept through the entire cave, forming an impenetrable net of fire. The swarm of abyssal monsters, like locusts passing through, was wiped out before they could even get close.

Even the Bee Queen frowned; the bomb bees she controlled were unable to break through such a narrow battlefield to bombard and destroy the enemy.

Although the cave's interior space is several thousand meters in diameter, a battle of this scale is like being trapped inside a bottle, unable to maneuver freely, especially since the human defensive line covers every corner.

"Use my blood as a catalyst!"

A burst of blood mist exploded from the bodies of the nine Blood Gods.

The blood mist fell onto the platform beneath their feet, and suddenly, the huge cave was illuminated by an extremely dazzling light, which turned out to be a series of strange runes.

"Stop them!"

Emperor Zhi narrowed his eyes and gave an order.

One by one, the Abyss Kings who had broken free from their shackles and descended from the primordial passage felt extremely uncomfortable as they were illuminated by the golden light emanating from the runes. This was due to the rejection caused by the primordial laws of the Douluo Plane.

The Abyss Kings roared, shaking off the dense horde of monsters beneath their feet. They withstood the attacks of the soul-guided weapons and charged forward, relying on their collective defense, in an attempt to prevent the Blood God Array from being fully released.

Over the years, the Abyss has thoroughly investigated the Blood God Legion's exact strength.

Apart from the ruthless Douluo Cao Dezhi, who is comparable to the Abyss King of the thirty-sixth level, there is no one else who can compare with him.

This invasion mobilized almost a third of the Abyss's kings, determined to break through humanity's defenses in one fell swoop.

Although the Demon Emperor's body was in good condition, the Abyss Saint King dared not gamble that the situation would continue to develop in the direction he predicted. Therefore, possessing Nan Liujing's body became the top priority.

"Don't think about it."

Nan Liujing played his part perfectly. Although he appeared to have been shrunk after being injured by the Black Emperor's claw, his pupils flashed with lightning. He grabbed at the cave with both hands from a distance, and the sea of ​​lightning gathered above his head suddenly erupted with dark blue lightning. The endless lightning rolled and exploded wantonly, and the dazzling light even obscured the golden light emitted by the Blood God Rune. Wherever it struck, the space was as thin and fragile as glass, shattering inch by inch.

In addition, the silvery-white power of spacetime rippled and permeated, slowing down time throughout the cave.

The Abyss Kings, whose understanding of the laws of time and space was extremely limited, could only watch helplessly as their own speed plummeted, even freezing in place. Under such circumstances, the combined attack from humans was too much for even them to bear.

With his Martial Soul True Form, the blessing of the Child of Nature, and the amplification of his Three-Word Battle Armor, Nan Liujing was able to unleash a destructive force that would give any Super Douluo-level Soul Master or Abyss King a headache.

Being struck by lightning would instantly blast a gash through one's body, causing excruciating pain that penetrates to the very soul, making every Abyss King extremely wary.

Inside the defensive line, the soldiers' morale soared upon witnessing this scene.

"Black Emperor."

Emperor Zhi observed this and spoke indifferently.

Black Emperor narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her figure flashed, leaving a dark afterimage, and she quickly rushed to Nan Liujing's side. Her right claw swung out, like the Grim Reaper's scythe that would take lives.

"I'm here to help you!"

Inside the defensive line, Zhang Huanyun, who was in command, flashed forward and arrived at Nan Liujing's side a step ahead, her eyes as calm as still water.

He waved his hand, scattering a strange, soft light, like a mirror.

The Black Emperor's claw descended, and the binding power contained within the mirror forcibly locked his right claw. The mirror then shone brightly again, and distorted halos of light rapidly rose around it, instantly forming a special control zone from which it was almost impossible to escape.

Or rather, if the Black Emperor wants to escape, he needs to find a weakness within this peculiar area of ​​distorted light and break through it. Despite being locked down by a peak quasi-god level expert, Zhang Huanyun showed no joy; he knew the Black Emperor would be free soon.

But isn't that enough?
"You think it's all settled?"

Just as Zhang Huanyun was about to help Nan Liujing forcibly kill several Abyss Kings, the Black Emperor's cold laughter suddenly rang out.

Zhang Huanyun felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

"careful!"

Nan Liujing's voice rang out at just the right moment, but it was a step too late.

Nine-colored scales appeared around Zhang Huanyun at some unknown time, instantly transforming into a nine-colored grid that imprisoned him and the Black Emperor inside.

"Absolute control?"

Zhang Huanyun's expression changed drastically.

The Black Emperor sneered repeatedly: "I've been waiting for you to make a move."

"Innate spirits, heed my guidance; Douluo souls, forge your foundation."

On the platform, Cao Dezhi witnessed the entire scene. His expression remained unchanged as he roared out.

The remaining Blood Gods chanted incantations, their bodies blazing with dazzling flames. The golden runes inside the cave shone even brighter. While frantically repairing the Blood God seal, they also accompanied Nan Liujing in suppressing the fundamental laws of the planes of many Abyss Kings. They became even more powerful, and the enormous Blood God runes, formed from the spiritual light of heaven and earth, crashed down into the cave, giving the impression that they were about to completely suppress all the Abyss Kings, thus reducing Nan Liujing's energy consumption.

"What are you waiting for?"

Emperor Zhi was surrounded by a faint nine-colored light, and it was he who released the nine-colored light that trapped Zhang Huanyun and the Black Emperor together.

As the voice faded, several Blood God Legion soldiers who were operating soul-guided cannons within the human defense line suddenly dropped their weapons, tore open their combat suits, and unleashed astonishing soul power fluctuations from their bodies, charging towards the nine Blood Gods seated on the platform.

"No! Stop them!"

Long Tianwu saw this, his heart remained calm, but his face showed great alarm as he roared.

The group of Soul Masters, who reacted extremely quickly, instinctively rushed forward to try to stop the evil Soul Masters from attacking Blood God.

"roll!"

Hei Yu snorted coldly. With her three-word battle armor attached, a burst of purplish-black light erupted from her body, and a chilling aura surged, instantly blasting away a group of high-ranking members of the Blood God Legion, including the commanders.

This sudden change immediately attracted the attention of more soldiers inside the defensive line.

A smile clearly appeared on the lips of the wise emperor in the distance. "Emperor Hua, it's your turn."

A transparent, almost imperceptible, eerie figure silently attacked Nan Liujing.

At that time, the entire human defense line was thrown into disarray by the sudden appearance of the evil soul masters. If Nan Liujing had not been at the forefront, cooperating with the Blood God Formation to output damage and temporarily suppress the Abyss Kings' charge, the defense line would likely have been torn open, resulting in a complete rout.

Emperor Zhi smiled with satisfaction.

The first step was to force the Black Emperor to compel Zhang Huanyun to take action and trap this human powerhouse who was extremely skilled in control.

The evil spirit master suddenly appeared, disrupting the human defenses and preventing the Blood God Array from being released; this was the second step.

The Ruthless Douluo needs to control the Blood God Array and cannot escape. The goal that the Holy Monarch, Nan Liujing, who is possessed by the Transformation Emperor, desires is the third step.

Once the situation stabilizes, the Bee Queen will take charge of the harvest, and the bomb bees will explode en masse, enough to wipe out this human army.

An eerie aura emanated from behind.

Just as Nan Liujing was standing like Thor, suppressing dozens of Abyss Kings in the void, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind him. The transparent palm turned into a sharp spike, about to pierce into the back of his head.

At the critical moment, a scene unfolded that caused Emperor Hua and Emperor Zhi to change their expressions drastically.

A crack appeared behind Nan Liujing's head, and a jade-like hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the possessed hand of the Emperor.

"Crack!"

The next moment, the sound of space shattering appeared, and a flash of silver light appeared. Under the stunned gaze of the Emperor, it pierced through the head of the possessed demon leader with a soft "poof".

With a single shot, the possessed demon's transparent body suddenly transformed into the appearance of a physical human Soul Master.

It was none other than a powerful human who had been silently possessed by the Emperor Hua back then.

"Damn it."

Emperor Hua was drenched in cold sweat. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his head, he hurriedly tried to retreat.

But Nan Liujing was faster. The silvery-white spacetime power quickly converged, forcibly imprisoning his body. The next moment, a dark blue dragon-coiled staff, accompanied by a heavy dragon roar, slammed down.

With a bang, Emperor Hua's magnificent body was instantly shattered into pieces.

Nan Liujing grabbed at the energy from a distance, preventing the transparent abyss energy from escaping, and collected it all.

In the blink of an eye, the Emperor vanished!
"impossible!"

The expressions of the Wise Emperor, Bee Emperor, and Demon Emperor, who witnessed the whole thing, changed drastically.

"Heavenly Phoenix Douluo?"

Just as one wave subsided, another arose, and another horrifying sound rang out.

Elsewhere, a group of evil soul masters, who were about to attack the Blood Gods, were releasing their soul skills with a cold smile when suddenly a group of people appeared in front of them.

After seeing it clearly, the evil soul masters, led by Hei Yu, felt their blood boil as if they had been frozen solid.

The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, whose entire body was covered in golden-red flames, possessed a face of unparalleled beauty, and whose body was surrounded by the light and shadow of phoenix feathers.

Holding a halberd, the Prison Douluo, Qian Gu Qingfeng, stood like an insurmountable wall.

A jade-like calligraphy brush, suspended high in the air, unfolds a lifelike painting; the master of the brush, Yu Guanzhi.

Three pairs of golden wings unfolded, their sacred radiance like the descent of heaven, carrying an aura of majesty that could not be looked upon directly—this was Angel Douluo Le Zheng'en.

With a fierce look on his face, Dong Zi'an, the Wolf Douluo, resembled a vicious beast.

Her jade-like hands caressed the zither, its cold melody tinged with a chilling aura, a cold and melancholic sound.

And many more powerful Soul Masters from various legions, who had been waiting for a long time, all appeared before Hei Yu and the others.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity!"

Feeling the immense life energy he gained after killing the Transformation Emperor, Nan Liujing laughed and pointed towards the direction of the Wisdom Emperor.

"Ruthless Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nanliu Jingsheng's voice boomed like thunder.

Cao Dezhi smiled slightly and raised his hands to the sky: "All laws of heaven and earth, the spirit of Douluo, the light of the Blood God, seal!"

"seal up!"

In an instant, the other eight Blood Gods roared in unison.

The heavens and earth began to tremble, and the entire underground world was rapidly covered by the intricate nine-colored primordial laws. As the light swirled, the passage that the Abyss Kings had stepped out of became even more tightly sealed, like a taut bag.

Abyss King: "..."
