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

The personality traits of Xu Tiandi, who was once hidden behind the mask of a politician and was sometimes sinister and sometimes passionate, seemed to have been blurred by the vast and boundless origin of the plane at this moment.

Instead, there is a detached indifference unique to newly born deities, looking down upon living beings as if they were ants, and an unquestionable majesty that naturally emanates from their mastery of the laws of heaven and earth.

When his gaze swept over her, even though Di Yue was hiding behind Lu Jun, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and insignificance stemming from her life instincts, and subconsciously held her breath.

Divinity was fully manifested in Xu Tiandi at this moment.

He has already broken through the barrier between level 99 and level 100.

He has even reached the level of a second-level god by relying on the power and status of the plane's master.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Jun's voice remained calm, unaffected by that godlike gaze.

"...I had no intention of harming her. I invited her here only to use her auspicious origin as an imperial beast to harmonize and reduce the natural rejection of the plane's origin towards me, an outsider, and to increase my success rate in the initial integration and undertaking of the plane's authority."

"With the blessing bestowed by the auspicious beast of the emperor, it will truly bring me continuous good fortune. How could I miss such a great benefit?"

Xu Tiandi's voice speaks directly to the soul level, allowing listeners to understand his meaning without needing explanation.

"Now, the Douluo Continent is fraught with danger. Abyssal creatures lurk in the federal cities, and powerful enemies from other regions are lurking all around."

"For the survival of the Federation, for the future of this planet, I... must take this risky move and gamble everything."

His words seemed to truly contain a resolute determination to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

The moment the words left his mouth, a sudden change occurred.

The golden aura surrounding Emperor Xu suddenly surged.

A golden pillar of light, over ten meters in diameter and composed entirely of the condensed fundamental laws and energy of the plane, shot into the sky from the top of his head, ignoring the obstruction of the dome in the underground space, and pierced straight into the clouds.

It seemed to penetrate layers of rock and clouds, forming a mysterious connection with the dimensional barrier that shrouded Douluo Star.

Within the pillar of light, countless ancient and complex runes, containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, flowed endlessly like swimming fish.

Throughout the entire Douluo Star region, the vast energy of heaven and earth seemed to be summoned by the monarch, and began to converge madly towards Mingdu and towards this pillar of light, forming a huge vortex in the sky that was invisible to the naked eye but incredibly terrifying in terms of energy.

At this moment, every living being on the entire Douluo Star, regardless of strength or race, felt a sudden tremor in their heart.

The soul beasts lay prostrate, gazing at the sky, emitting uneasy low growls; human soul masters and commoners subconsciously stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky, their hearts inexplicably racing, and a feeling mixed with awe, fear, and insignificance arose spontaneously.

It was as if some supreme being was awakening, announcing its birth.

Even the Crimson Domain and powerful beings, which coveted Douluo Star from far beyond the planet in the cold void, felt a strong sense of agitation and unease under this sudden surge of energy, which carried the majesty of a complete plane.

Could it be that a new, true ruler has been born on Douluo Star?
"And I must become the god of this planet. And then—"

As the pillar of light rose, Emperor Xu's voice became even more magnificent and ethereal, as if resonating with the heavens and earth.

The grass beneath his feet transformed into pure golden energy, lifting his body and slowly raising him off the ground.

The robes moved without wind, the golden divine patterns flowing on them echoing the law runes dancing in the pillar of light, their light swirling.

He is no longer human, nor simply a chosen one of the planes, but is undergoing the deepest fusion with the origin of Douluo Star, gradually transforming into the spokesperson and wielder of the laws of this planet, the true master of the plane.

"Sweep away and purify everything that threatens the stability of this star and hinders its development, whether it be internal troubles or external threats." Emperor Xu's whisper, like a divine decree, was imprinted on the laws.

"This is my mission."

He could clearly feel that his power was still growing endlessly.

The origin of the plane is like the most generous mother, opening up infinite power and authority to him.

The nascent divine nature is rapidly perfecting itself, and its understanding and control over the laws of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, mountains, rivers, and the cycle of life are increasing at an exponential rate.

Soon, he became confident that he would be able to completely shed his mortal form and achieve a perfect divine body.

At that time, both the uncontrollable Lu Jun and the legendary abyss plane that is about to descend and devour everything will become resources and stepping stones that he must crush or absorb on his way to protect and strengthen this planet.

Within the golden pillar of light, Xu Tiandi's figure grew increasingly hazy and sacred, as if he might melt completely into the golden light at any moment, transforming into countless forms, omnipresent.

Success seems to be just around the corner.

Only that supreme majesty of a newly born god, ruling over a realm, like the deepest imprint, accompanied by the roar of the pillar of light and the joyful cry of the laws, was clearly transmitted to every corner of Douluo Star, announcing the rise of a new god and the arrival of a brand new era.

"Although I never imagined that the matter of the Imperial Beast would bring you so directly to my side..."

Xu Tiandi's gaze seemed to pierce through the hazy golden light and landed precisely on Lu Jun once again. In his golden pupils, a trace of complex emotion belonging to Xu Tiandi finally surfaced, but it was instantly covered by divine indifference.

"But since things have come to this, let's start the negotiations that were supposed to take place in seven days ahead of schedule."

"so?"

Lu Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, and the Ice Abyss Sword in its sheath emitted a humming sound, as if it were eager to be used.

"Next, Mr. Lu."

Emperor Xu's voice was majestic and calm, yet it contained an unquestionable determination.

"A mysterious outsider whose origins are shrouded in mystery. Now that I have just begun to wield the power over this plane and observe all things with the eyes of a god, I can already glimpse some of the mist surrounding you and sense a certain disharmony between you and the origins of this world."

His golden eyes stared intently at Lu Jun, as if trying to see through him inside and out.

"Therefore, I, Xu Tiandi, hereby issue a challenge to you in my personal capacity."

"This challenge has nothing to do with the federal system, anything to do with the struggle between humanity, and nothing to do with the impending abyss catastrophe."

"It is only about the purest personal ideals between you and me, the collision of paths and forces."

"The rules are simple."

"If I am defeated, I will die and my soul will perish. The highest authority of the Federation, as well as my initial control over the plane, will all be at your disposal."

"And if you are defeated..."

Emperor Xu paused, his gaze falling on the Ice Abyss Sword at Lu Jun's waist, his tone resolute.

"Then you must hand over that divine artifact in your hand, which transcends mortal comprehension. With this sword as a foundation, combined with the divine power I am about to fully acquire and the resources of the Federation, I will be absolutely confident that I can completely wipe out the threat of the Abyss and usher in an era of eternal peace for Douluo Star!"

"Do you dare accept the challenge?" (End of Chapter)
