Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

However, just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, with the aura of the Divine Dragon Realm rising steadily and making firm strides toward the Divine Star Realm.

Changes occur suddenly.

The Dragon God, as the energy core and medium, began to tremble violently.

The celestial energy and stellar power that had been steadily flowing into his body now seemed to have transformed into countless red-hot blades, rampaging through his body.

His meridians, his internal organs, and even his soul were all experiencing extreme pain as if they were being torn apart and burned inch by inch.

This pain stemmed not only from the raging energy, but also from the primordial power within him, which was forcibly pieced together from different god-kings.

Creation and destruction, light and darkness, water, fire, wind, and earth...

These extreme attributes, which had maintained a fragile balance under his strong suppression, finally went out of control under the dual stimulation of massive external cosmic energy and internal gravitational pull.

Just as Lu Jun predicted: "The laws of the universe don't even need to attack you directly; they only need to slightly disrupt the balance between the forces within you..."

"Uh-huh-"

The Dragon God let out a low, suppressed growl of pain.

He could clearly feel that his supposedly immortal dragon god bloodline was beginning to collapse and disintegrate from the inside out.

The originally perfectly integrated nine-colored radiance has now become chaotic, with different colored energy flows clashing and annihilating on his body, exploding into dangerous energy sparks.

But he could also sense that the Divine Dragon Realm beneath his feet was transforming and sublimating at an unprecedented speed, and the rudimentary form of the Divine Star was already faintly visible.

The Dragon Kings are right. Their accumulation is indeed substantial enough. If nothing unexpected happens, achieving godhood will be a natural outcome.

However, the Dragon God himself was in a serious condition.

Success came from the power plundered from within him, and failure came from the incomplete, forcibly pieced-together power within his own body.

The laws of the universe didn't even need to intervene; the Dragon God had already descended into madness and out of control.

This may explain why Lu Jun, despite being repeatedly persuaded by the Dragon God, refused to form an alliance with him.

He didn't want to ally with a supreme god-king who could go out of control and go crazy at any time; what difference would that be from courting death?
Under the onslaught of this boundless pain, the Dragon God's consciousness began to become hazy and chaotic.

His magnificent nine-colored robe was torn apart by the conflicting energy within him, revealing the skin underneath, which was beginning to show fine cracks and flickering with an unstable light.

His arm, gripping the Dragon Ascension Pillar, bulged with veins and trembled violently, causing even the clan's supreme artifact to hum under the strain.

The eighteen god-kings, who had been focused on transmitting divine power and watching the progress of the ceremony, all changed their expressions drastically at this moment.

"My lord! What's wrong?!"

"Why is the Lord's aura so disordered?!"

The King of Gods stared in horror at the Dragon God struggling in agony in the center; the originally smooth ritual had suddenly taken a fatal turn.

"Our lord's consciousness and bloodline are unstable. We must help him stabilize his bloodline, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

It was unclear which god-king had shouted out in such a hurry.

At this moment, the Dragon God's consciousness was being repeatedly torn apart by extreme pain and the overwhelming perception of the realm advancement.

On one hand, he felt the collective sublimation of life levels taking place in the Divine Dragon Realm, and the evolution and cheers of countless star system life imprints under his command; on the other hand, he was enduring the extreme torment of his own collapse and destruction.

The extreme sensations of ice and fire, the madness of hope and despair, are pushing this supreme god-king's sanity step by step toward the brink of madness.

The sudden and tragic turn of events gripped Gu Yuena's heart.

She watched helplessly as the Dragon God struggled in extreme pain and lost control of his power, while the other God Kings panicked and tried to find a way to save him.

"We must help our lord stabilize the situation, Your Highness. Only your bloodline is closest to our lord's, containing the purest essence of the Dragon God. Please use your bloodline as a guide to help our lord quell the rampaging power!"

That voice, of unknown origin, filled with urgency and seduction, rang out again, clearly reaching the ears of every god-king, especially the dragon prince. "Father."

The Dragon Prince looked at the Dragon God, who was in great pain, with worry in his eyes, and did not hesitate at all.

"I'm here to help you!"

The next instant, the figure brimming with youthful vitality and seven-colored radiance resolutely soared into the air, ignoring the tearing force of the violent energy field, and forcibly squeezed into the energy core vortex where the Dragon God was located.

He opened his arms, trying to connect with and comfort his father through their bloodline.

However, just as he approached, another unexpected event occurred.

The terrifying, uncontrollable suction force within the Dragon God's body, caused by the imbalance of power, suddenly erupted.

Like a greedy black hole, it firmly sucked the dragon prince in, making him stick tightly to the dragon god's body.

"Uh!"

The dragon prince grunted, his handsome face instantly filled with horror.

He could clearly feel that the vast and pure power of the dragon god's bloodline and the vigorous life force within his body were being frantically devoured and plundered by his father's body.

This was not a conscious absorption, but rather an instinctive plundering of the uncontrolled power within the Dragon God's body.

Just as a drowning person will grab onto anything around them, the Dragon God is now unconsciously devouring the life of his own son.

After the initial shock, the Dragon Prince's eyes quickly softened with relief and determination.

He did not struggle or resist. Instead, he used his last bit of strength to hug his father's trembling body even tighter, completely opening himself up and actively and unreservedly channeling his blood and life force into his father's body.

"Father, live on! You must lead the dragon race to success!"

He silently recited this in his heart, and a satisfied yet tragic smile even appeared on his face. He had no regrets about being able to give everything for his father and for the dragon clan.

"Can't!"

At this critical moment, a low roar, filled with endless pain and struggle, was squeezed out from the depths of the Dragon God's throat.

His dragon eyes, already filled with chaotic blood and destructive desires, somehow managed to break free of a trace of clarity belonging to his father.

A pair of hands, trembling violently from the effort to control themselves, with bulging veins, gripped the Dragon Prince's shoulders. Using all the remaining reason and paternal love, they unleashed a powerful force, forcefully pushing their son away from them.

At the same time, a gentle yet firm repulsive force surged forth, forcibly pushing back the bloodline power and life force that the Dragon Prince had just injected into his body, returning it all to him.

"Father?"

The dragon prince was pushed aside and stared at his father in astonishment, his eyes filled with confusion and worry.

Forcibly stopping this self-destructive behavior and fighting against the dragon god's own devouring instinct caused his body to deteriorate to the extreme, like a powder keg that had been detonated.

The energy around him completely spiraled out of control, with nine-colored light flashing, clashing, and exploding wildly, causing an irreversible and violent distortion in the entire transition process of the promotion ceremony.

"Oh no, the energy core has collapsed!"

"My lord—"

The gods exclaimed in unison, their faces turning deathly pale.

“Rumble——!!!”

A terrifying explosion, resembling the beginning of the universe and the annihilation of stars, erupted violently, centered on the Dragon God.

The destructive energy shockwaves, like billions of invisible blades, swept wildly in all directions.

The first to be affected were the eighteen God-Kings on the high platform, and the Dragon Prince who was closest to them. (End of Chapter)
