Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 57 Ultimate Darkness, the Dark Dragon's Power Swells

"Dark Demon Dragon Zi Ji! One of the true rulers of slaughter in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"The Dark Dragon! It's the kind of terrifying dragon that, according to records, signifies the end of the world once it appears!"

"Ultimate darkness! Devouring everything! This... this is more terrifying than mere destruction!"

"Won't this demonic dragon become even more terrifying after receiving Heaven's reward? Will the Star Dou Great Forest become a complete forbidden zone for humans!"

A nameless panic is spreading rapidly among the Douluo humans!
If Brigitte brings complex emotions, then Murasaki brings the most direct and pure intimidation and fear.

Inside Heaven Dou City, a knowledgeable old Soul Master's voice trembled as he said, "Legend has it that wherever she goes, life is cut off and all things wither. Her strength is among the best of all Soul Beasts over 100,000 years old!"

"Ultimate Darkness! Another ultimate attribute! Although it only has 290,000 years of cultivation, it ranks one place higher than the Emerald Swan!"

"Her rewards—Dark Dragon Crystals and the Demon Dragon Reverse Scale Armor! This...this makes her, who was already terrifying, even more difficult to deal with!"

"Just how many monsters like these are still lurking in the Star Dou Great Forest? One was healed by Bi Ji, the other destroyed by Zi Ji. This life and death show how terrifying the Star Dou Great Forest's resources are!"

……

Star Forest, Lake of Life.

As Di Tian looked at Zi Ji's name on the golden list, a barely perceptible hint of approval flashed in his golden dragon eyes:

"Zi Ji's dark origin is the true lineage of my dragon race, possessing a trace of the bloodline of the ancient dragon god. Her potential is indeed superior to Bi Ji's healing, ranking eighth is well-deserved."

Brigitte gazed tenderly toward the dark canyon and said softly, "Although Sister Ziji is cold-hearted, she has her own principles. I hope this opportunity will help her better control her power."

From the depths of the lake, Gu Yuena's clear, cool voice rang out with a hint of expectation:
"Darkness is also an important part of the world. If Zi Ji can understand the two sides of darkness and destruction, her future achievements will be no less than those of Di Tian."

"This reward from Heaven is exactly what she needs, and she might really have a chance to break through to the Beast King level bloodline."

……

Deep in the dark canyon.

[Soul Beast Potential Ranking, 8th Place – Zi Ji, reward has been issued!]

boom--!
A beam of pure, dark light, like a demonic dragon descending from the depths of the heavens, fiercely tore through the sky and precisely poured into the dark canyon!
The pillar of light did not bring warmth, but greedily devoured the already sparse light and life in the canyon, turning this place into an absolute dark domain that even divine sense could not penetrate!

The Dark Dragon Crystal, which seemed to embody the darkest essence of the world, pulsated like a living heart, emanating an aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

It flew towards Zi Ji on its own and was caught by her jade hand covered with purplish-black dragon scales.

"Hmph, Heaven's will... is indeed generous!"

Zi Ji’s crimson dragon eyes flashed with ecstasy and ambition as she sensed the power contained within the dragon crystal—a power that shared the same origin as hers but was far more refined and profound.

Without the slightest hesitation, he forcefully pressed it into the core scale between his eyebrows!
"Roar--!!!"

A deafening roar, seemingly from the very beginning of time, erupted from the depths of the canyon! This roar was filled with the exhilarating surge of power and the majesty of the dragon! "Power...unlimited power is surging forth! Hahahaha!"

Murasaki's wild laughter echoed in the darkness. Her graceful and powerful body underwent violent changes in the thick, almost tangible dark energy. She could barely maintain her human form and revealed part of her ferocious yet beautiful true form as a demonic dragon.

Her body expanded at a visible speed, and her dark purple dragon scales became deeper and thicker, with a destructive light flowing around the edges like liquid darkness, as if they could devour even one's gaze.

On its forehead, a small yet terrifyingly powerful dark dragon horn, crackling with black lightning, pierced through the void and slowly grew out, symbolizing the further awakening and sublimation of its true dragon bloodline!

"This feeling is... bloodline purification, touching the very source! I'm one step closer to becoming the Dragon God!"

Zi Ji felt the surging, almost overflowing dark dragon essence within her body, and felt incredibly exhilarated.

The second reward followed: the [Dragon's Reverse Scale Armor] automatically transformed into flowing dark matter, covering the key parts of her body as if it were alive.

This forms a set of close-fitting armor that both accentuates her alluring curves and exudes endless power and an aura of destruction. The surface of the armor is faintly covered with dark purple dragon patterns that move like living creatures and emit a deep dragon roar.

"With this divine armor protecting me, who in the world can break through my defenses?!"

Murasaki stroked her curvaceous figure and the cold, hard surface of her dragon scale armor, her tone full of confidence.

Immediately afterwards, information about the ultimate technique [Abyss Dragon Devour] quickly flooded her mind, like unlocking a new pose.

Zi Ji's crimson dragon eyes suddenly lit up; she couldn't wait to try out this new power.

She suddenly opened her mouth, and a dark purple dragon breath, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of devouring everything, spewed out.

Wherever the dragon's breath passed, the space distorted and hummed under the unbearable pressure. Light, sound, and even energy fluctuations were completely swallowed by this darkness, and the ground was corroded into a bottomless ravine with sizzling edges that was constantly being eroded by the darkness!
"Annihilate! Before this ultimate darkness, all things will ultimately return to nothingness! Hahahaha!"

Murasaki looked at the destruction she had caused and let out a satisfied and arrogant laugh.

She raised her hand again and unleashed her enhanced devouring ability towards the towering mountain wall on one side of the canyon.

In an instant, a miniature, yet terrifyingly powerful, dark vortex appeared before the mountain wall, mercilessly engulfing large amounts of rocks and resilient vegetation. They were completely decomposed and annihilated without leaving a trace of dust, as if they had never existed.

"Do you see it? This is the power bestowed upon me by the Heavenly Dao! Tremble, you ants!"

Murasaki stood in the center of the darkness, arms outstretched, as if embracing the new world that belonged to her, a world built of destruction and darkness.

Centered on the dark canyon, an intense, impenetrable aura of darkness spread outwards like a tide of death, causing vast swathes of forest vegetation to wither, decay, and turn to ash at a visible rate, as if all life force had been instantly drained away.

The clouds in the sky were tinged with a deep, ominous dark purple, and streaks of dark lightning roared and weaved through them like the claws of a demonic dragon.

A suffocating aura, a mixture of extreme destruction and arrogant dragon might, instilled a sense of apocalyptic fear in human soul master strongholds hundreds of miles away. They all activated their defensive formations with all their might, their faces pale, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"This power... is too wonderful! A gift from Heaven, I, Zi Ji, will remember it! Once I have fully integrated with it, the shadows of this continent will reign supreme under my Dark Dragon!"
