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

Behind Emperor Xu, the phantom of the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon became increasingly solid, with destructive purple lightning dancing on its scales, golden divine fire burning in its eyes, and its enormous body almost occupying half of the sky.

He slowly took a step forward.

This step, seemingly gentle, is crucial in the instant it lands—

"Boom!!!"

Centered on the point where his toes landed, the solid ground was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, instantly creating a crater with a diameter of over a hundred meters.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions at an alarming speed, cracking and sputtering as if the earth were groaning in pain.

Wherever the crack passed, the distant mountains and valleys resonated, emitting a deep, thunderous roar. Rocks tumbled down, and countless birds and beasts that lived there scattered in terror.

Even the night sky high above seemed to tremble slightly under this overwhelming divine power, and the starlight seemed to flicker for a moment.

The dust billowing from the surrounding mountains due to the violent tremors was like a startled gray beast, rolling and roaring, forming a dust storm that blotted out the sun and obscured most of the moonlight, adding to the oppressive atmosphere of impending doom.

Lu Jun faced the terrifying aura that was coming at him head-on, a mixture of the majesty of the plane and the destructive power of the dragon, but his body remained as still as an ancient iceberg.

The Ice Abyss Sword in his hand was slightly lowered, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground. However, the soaring icy blue sword aura became increasingly sharp and pure, like a sharp sword that wanted to pierce the sky, cutting through the oppressive aura of Emperor Xu Tian.

Wherever the sword strikes, the moisture in the air instantly freezes into tiny ice crystals, which fall down in a flurry, creating a strange scene of ice crystals and dust intertwined.

His eyes remained calm, even carrying a hint of leisurely ease and ease.

It was as if the scene before them, which would terrify even an ordinary Title Douluo, was merely a sight worth savoring.

In the midst of this suffocating standoff, he also stepped forward, taking a steady step.

With that step, his previously restrained aura, killing intent, and fighting spirit erupted like a powder keg with a lit fuse, instantly reaching an impeccable and perfectly coordinated peak state.

At this moment, he was like a peerless divine sword that had been fully drawn from its sheath and had just drunk blood, its sharpness fully revealed and ready to be unleashed!
It is foreseeable that once he makes a move, it will be a devastating and earth-shattering blow.

How could Emperor Xu allow him to accumulate his power to its fullest extent?

Just as Lu Jun was about to take that step and his center of gravity shifted, Xu Tiandi moved!
He raised the seemingly ordinary staff in his hand, which now resonated subtly with the laws of the surrounding planes, its tip pointing towards Lu Jun.

The space around Lu Jun suddenly became viscous and dark.

As if invisible ink had been splashed and spread out of thin air, a deep, dark black that seemed capable of swallowing all light began to emerge from the void, like a living thing, rapidly spreading towards Lu Jun's location and enveloping him.

That wasn't just simple dark attribute soul power, but rather a spatial confinement and energy stripping domain temporarily constructed by Emperor Xu Tian by mobilizing some of the laws of the plane.

He wanted to trap and wear Lu Jun down on the spot!
At the same time, Xu Tiandi's deep and solemn voice rang out. That voice was no longer just his personal declaration, but seemed to have stirred up a torrent of thoughts and will to resist that gathered from countless people in the Federation. It carried a tragic power and resounded throughout the sealed-off battlefield:

"The Federation has never willingly submitted to divine authority from the top of the heavens. We were born and raised here, and we shall, with our flesh and blood, gather the wisdom and courage of countless people, defy the heavens, and determine our own destiny!"

A surge of faith power began to emerge from Xu Tiandi's body. This was the result of declaring war on the Green Skull organization and killing a deity in person on the Eastern Continent, which was broadcast live across the entire internet.

This also proves that the Xu family's experiment on Ya Li was very successful!
Such a large amount of faith power is not even weaker than the scale that Tang San had collected before.

"I am the Speaker elected by the people of the Federation. My life is the foundation of the Federation's survival, and my will is the unyielding backbone of the Federation!"

"The glorious Federation, with its unwavering will, how can it allow so-called gods to eternally sit atop it, looking down upon all living beings as mere ants?"

"With our frail mortal bodies, by gathering the flames of civilization, we can shake the laws of heaven and earth and reverse our predetermined fate. This is the right path for the survival of our human race!"

"I hold the supreme power of the Federation, and the survival of the nation and its people is my own. Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, or divine punishment and retribution, I will not hesitate to die ten thousand times!"

Xu Tiandi spoke with increasing force, shouting loudly:

"The supremacy of divine authority, the power of life and death, is not what the people of our Federation desire! Exploring the world with human strength, arming ourselves with technology, and uniting our will are the only ways to protect all living beings and pave the way for the future!"

"I am the Speaker of the Federal Parliament. My fate is already intertwined with that of the Federation. We will live and die together, and we will survive and perish together!"

"The Federation is not a federation of one person or one race, but a place where the wisdom, blood, sweat and will of all people converge!"

"We are not vassals to be arbitrarily commanded and enslaved by any deity! We must use our indomitable human strength to shatter that illusory destiny! With this body and this soul, we will protect the very foundation of the Federation's civilization!"

"I am the Speaker, my body is the indomitable spirit of the Federation! My life is the root of the Federation's civilization!"

"Although the gods are powerful, manipulate the laws, and regard all living beings as worthless, they are not to be feared. Although the Federation originated from the mortal world and its roots are humble, the will of the people can build a great city, and the hearts of the people can shake the heavens!"

"I bear the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by the people of the Federation and the duty of the Speaker to protect them. As long as I have a breath left, the flame of the Federation's civilization will never be extinguished!"

"This battle is to prove to heaven and earth, and to those so-called gods—"

"Human effort can surely overcome nature!"

The final roar was like the rage that Xu Tiandi had suppressed for countless years finally erupting, expressing his unwillingness to endure and struggle for hundreds of years, and also revealing the stubbornness and fighting will of mortals deeply rooted in the marrow of civilization when the Federation faces the individual deification of Soul Masters and external god-level threats!
The Federation is a civilization built by these mortal leaders who led countless people through hardship and overcoming numerous obstacles!

How can we allow ourselves to be forever ridden on by powerful individuals who have become gods, with our fates arbitrarily decided?!
The power of faith gathered around Xu Tiandi, bringing his aura to its peak.

Give him some more time, and he will become a true first-level god!
Just as his roar reached its peak, the black space that was about to completely envelop Lu Jun also completed its final closing.

however--

"break."

A soft yet incredibly clear whisper came from the thick darkness.

Immediately afterwards, an icy blue arc of light, like the first ray of light after the creation of the world, suddenly shone from the center of that absolute darkness! (End of this chapter)
