Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

After Na'er finished speaking, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled at Chu Ci, stepped aside, and made way for Gu Yue behind her.

Gu Yue propelled herself onto the lotus leaves beneath her feet and arrived in front of Chu Ci. Her eyes sparkled with tenderness and a smile, but her words were brief and domineering.

"Chu Ci, you! You can only choose me!"

Unlike Ye Xinglan and others, Gu Yue didn't give a moving confession; she simply said a confident sentence.

Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng's eyes were both focused on Chu Ci.

Lan Muzi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "I never expected that Junior Chu Ci would have such a grand scene when I first met you, with so many outstanding female students liking you, including our little goddess. Now, it's time for you to make a choice. As someone who's been through it, I must remind you to be decisive, otherwise you'll only make things worse. Make your choice. Rather than hurting more people in the future, it's better to let them see your heart clearly."

Chu Ci smiled faintly, his gentle gaze falling on Gu Yue. He stared at her for a long while before snapping out of his reverie and glancing at the other girls who had chosen him. He then spoke with a slightly apologetic tone.

"Sorry, I choose Gu Yue!"

Whether it's the thoughtful companionship or the immense help she's given during these years of growth, these are all reasons why Chu Ci must choose Gu Yue. In this world, Chu Ci can let down any girl, but he cannot let down Gu Yue.

A beautiful smile appeared on Gu Yue's pretty face. She took a step forward and threw herself into Chu Ci's arms.

"I love you, Gu Yue!" Chu Ci said gently and affectionately, holding Gu Yue tightly as if he wanted to pull her into his arms.

"I love you too, Chu Ci!" Gu Yue buried her pretty face in Chu Ci's shoulder, wrapped her arms tightly around him, and her eyes were filled with an overwhelming emotion that she could not hide.

“Gu Yue,” Chu Ci cupped Gu Yue’s cheeks and slowly moved closer to Gu Yue’s lips.

Gu Yue blushed slightly, closed her tender eyes, and took the initiative to meet Chu Ci's affectionate kiss.

This kiss carried the burning passion of their love, a passion that seemed to melt each other, fiery and fragrant, with an unimaginable emotional outburst.

"The ceremony is complete. Congratulations to Chu Ci and Gu Yue on your marriage. May you live a long and happy life together." Lan Muzi's voice resounded throughout the hall.

Thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue, and sparks of light rose from the distant shores of Poseidon Lake, exploding into dazzling fireworks in the air.

Beneath the dazzling fireworks, Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, Wu Siduo, and Na'er turned and left dejectedly.

As soon as Lan Muzi finished speaking, it was time for the bride-snatching segment, and Long Yue was eager to jump out and challenge Chu Ci.

But before he could do anything, Xu Mi'er pulled him back. Facing Long Yue's puzzled look, Xu Mi'er said with exasperation.

"You clueless jerk, wait a bit before you try!"

For a long, long time...

They held each other tightly again, panting heavily, until they were both out of breath and their lips were slightly swollen.

Chu Ci gently smoothed the sweat-dampened strands of hair on Gu Yue's forehead and whispered, "Gu Yue, from now on you will be my woman."

“It has been like that for a long time,” Gu Yue said, giving Chu Ci a reproachful look.

As the enthusiastic atmosphere on the field gradually dissipated, Long Yue, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, eagerly stepped forward.

"I want to steal the bride!"

This loud shout drew everyone's attention to Long Yue, who stood tall and proud.

Xu Mier, who was standing next to him, silently took two steps back, hiding her figure behind Long Yue's tall body.

Lan Muzi's expression turned serious, and she asked, "Junior Brother Long Yue, are you sure you want to steal the bride?"

Long Yue nodded and shouted, "Yes, I want to steal the bride and challenge Chu Ci!"

"Junior Brother Chu Ci, will you accept Junior Brother Long Yue's challenge?" Lan Muzi asked in turn.

"Of course, this was agreed upon long ago!" Chu Ci said calmly, raising his right hand upwards, and a square stone platform suddenly rose from the center of the lake.

Chu Ci gently rubbed Gu Yue's head, then gracefully rose and landed lightly on the stone platform.

Not to be outdone, Long Yue leaped out and landed heavily on the stone platform, his eyes, filled with fighting spirit, fixed on Chu Ci.

"It's been three years. Ever since I lost to you, you have become my motivation to improve. I think about challenging you again and avenging my defeat every moment."

Long Yue's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, his body was straight, and he was in a fighting stance facing Chu Ci, like a wild beast about to go completely mad.

Chu Ci casually flicked his sleeves and said indifferently, "Come on, let me see your progress over the past three years."

The spirit rings on Long Yue's body shone with an extremely terrifying light, mainly black. As his body expanded, thick, earth-yellow scales, heavier than mountains, appeared on his body, and a thick dragon tail grew out from behind him.

Chu Ci remained expressionless as six black ten-thousand-year soul rings with a hint of red and a red one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring rose from beneath his feet, causing a gasp from the entire audience.

"A 100,000-year soul ring, and six 10,000-year soul rings that are nearly 100,000 years old. How can this kid withstand that?" Long Yeyue's expression was solemn. Even with her extensive knowledge, she couldn't help but be shocked by Chu Ci's performance.

On the other side, Lan Muzi, who was hosting the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, changed her expression and couldn't help but whisper to Tang Yinmeng beside her, "A seven-ring Soul Saint, with such a Soul Ring configuration, I don't think I might be a match for Junior Brother Chu Ci."

Tang Yinmeng comforted her, "Your strength is among the top in the eight-ring Soul Douluo world. No matter what, Chu Ci couldn't possibly be stronger than you!"

Long Yue saw the seven spirit rings floating on Chu Ci's body, his throat moved slightly, he swallowed, his eyes were full of caution, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He felt that this battle might not be what he had expected.

But with the arrow already on the bowstring, there was no choice but to release it. Long Yue couldn't simply admit defeat and slink off the stone platform.

Chapter 280 Chu Ci Battles Long Yue, Mirror Space

Long Yue's first spirit ring lit up, and the Mountain and River spirit skill was directly applied to him, making him as majestic as a mountain, guarding against Chu Ci's attack.

At the same time, the spear in his hand was imbued with the Flowing Water Soul Skill, and huge streams of water continuously rushed towards Chu Ci.

As countless streams of water shot in from all directions, rushing straight towards Chu Ci like rivers flowing into the sea, Long Yue pointed his spear, his third soul ring flashing, revealing the swamp.

The space around Chu Ci suddenly became muddy. Although it was just an invisible swamp generated by energy, it was no different from a real swamp.

The swamp's extremely high viscosity made Chu Ci feel his movements become sluggish.

Chu Ci's first and third soul rings flashed simultaneously. When the water jets reached him, the space around him cracked like a spider web, as if it were shattered glass.

"Crack!" Space shattered, and the water and swamp around Chu Ci broke apart into ordinary soul power. The Xuanling Sable King on his shoulder opened its mouth to absorb the overflowing soul power and transform it into creative power. Then, an invisible ripple spread from Chu Ci to the entire Sea God Lake.

Long Yue frowned, and the next moment he plunged his twin spears into the ground. The explosive power surged into the ground, and countless fragments of rock carrying tremendous impact shot towards Chu Ci.

Chu Ci stomped her foot hard on the ground, and the stone platform rippled like waves, swallowing up the broken stones and rushing towards Long Yue.

The rolling ground made Long Yue stumble, and before he could regain his footing, he suddenly realized that the positions of the sky and the ground seemed to have been reversed.

With the stone platform beneath his feet above and the sky above him below, Long Yue, completely bewildered, felt a strong sense of weightlessness and fell headfirst into the air. Fortunately, the Seven-Ring Soul Saint had already gained the ability to fly, allowing Long Yue to turn over and adjust his posture to float in the air.

Long Yue, regaining his senses, stared in shock at the scene where the sky was on the ground and the ground was in the sky, but he soon realized that he was the only one experiencing weightlessness.

The surface of Poseidon Lake faces downwards, but despite the rolling waves, there is no sign of water overflowing.

Everyone else, though they were all upside down with their feet on top and their heads down, presenting a bizarre inverted image, did not fall like him.

Everyone present was dumbfounded by this amazing scene, looking as if they had never seen anything like it before.

Xie Xie, standing on the shore, stared at the lakeshore above him, his words stammering with shock.

"My God, the world has turned upside down! Brother Ci, is this a gift that changes the rules of the world?"

"The ability to influence the space between heaven and earth, is this really something a Soul Saint can do?" Tang Wulin was full of doubts and questions, after all, the ability that Chu Ci was showing was really too exaggerated.

On the inverted ship, the group of renowned elders of the Sea God Pavilion in the Soul Master world were also quite shocked.

Yun Ming closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in this world.

A moment later, Yun Ming opened his eyes, and Ya Li beside him asked, "Brother Ming, what's going on? What did Chu Ci do?"

Zhuoshi and Feng Wuyu both had serious expressions, but their ears were quietly perked up, because they didn't understand what Chu Ci had done to turn the world upside down.

Yun Ming said in a deep voice, "The space we are in now is not the original real world, but a special space that is attached to the real world, which is why he can turn the world upside down."

"However, unless one is proficient in the Dao of Space and can perceive it carefully, one cannot detect the difference between this space and the real world. Can Chu Ci really be just a Soul Saint who can create such a peculiar space?" Long Yeyue couldn't help but ask, because everything before her eyes was simply too unbelievable.

"Chu Ci's mastery of spatial manipulation has surpassed mine," Yun Ming exclaimed.

Ya Li covered her mouth and exclaimed, "How is this possible? Brother Ming..."

Yun Ming sighed and said calmly, "I can use my understanding of space and the Sky-Piercing Spear to break through this space and be unaffected by it, but it's impossible for me to create such a space!"

Zhuoshi and Feng Wuyu, who were eavesdropping nearby, were equally amazed. For the first time, they truly felt the unfathomable depth of this junior, Chu Ci.

Long Yue looked around warily at the unfamiliar world before him and said coldly, "What have you done to this world?"

The stone platform automatically disintegrated and extended into a waterfall-like passageway, which was laid out in the air below.

Chu Ci slowly descended along the passage to Long Yue's side and said calmly, "I currently do not possess the power to change the world."

"This place is called the Mirror Space. You can think of it as a special space that is opposite to the real world."

The Mirror Space was created by Chu Ci, imitating a skill from a superhero movie from his previous life, combining his own understanding of space with the power of the Flower of Creation martial spirit.

"Mountains! Rivers!" Long Yue roared, and images of mountains and rivers appeared around him and covered Chu Ci.

"I am the master of this world!" Chu Ci's eyes blazed with divine light, and he let out a heavy snort. Ripples spread across the mirror space, rivers dried up, and mountains broke apart.

A look of fear flashed in Long Yue's eyes. He immediately unleashed his gravity field and pressed down on Chu Ci, but it only created splashes around Chu Ci and was completely ineffective.

Even the gravity field he released was grasped by Chu Ci, who condensed the field and transformed it into a forty-meter-long, earth-yellow broadsword that slashed heavily at Long Yue.

The weight of the domain combined with the power of gravity made this strike exceptionally powerful, cleaving Long Yue's broad shoulder in two, leaving it a bloody mess.

Long Yue cried out in pain, and his seventh soul ring lit up immediately. His massive body crouched down and transformed into a giant dragon over fifty meters long, covered in incredibly thick scales, which hovered in mid-air.

The seventh soul skill, martial soul true form.

Chu Ci's first spirit ring continued to light up, and several streams of water shot out from the surface of the Sea God Lake above towards Long Yue.

As the water jets out, it gradually freezes into ice, transforming into countless chains of ice that exude a chilling aura.

Chu Ci reached out and grabbed at Long Yue, and the icy chains followed him closely, instantly binding tightly to all parts of the Dragon King's Martial Soul True Body on Long Yue Mountain.

Wherever the icy chains touched, a layer of deep blue ice formed. Wherever the ice covered, the biting cold penetrated every pore, seeping into Long Yue's body, making him feel as if he had fallen into a frigid abyss.

This is the icy chill of the Ice Prison created by Chu Ci using the power of creation. Its power is no less than that of the ultimate ice, and it is unique in its destructive force.

The Mountain Dragon King raised his head, roared angrily to the sky, and swung his massive body, attempting to break the ice prison chains laid down by Chu Ci.

Chapter 281 A Sky Full of Warfare, The Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth

Chu Ci made a grasping motion with one hand, and the chains of the Ice Prison tightened continuously, causing the Mountain Dragon King's struggles to become increasingly fierce.

"rise!"

Chu Ci let out a loud shout, and countless golden bright spots suddenly appeared in the sky, instantly filling the air with a chilling aura of war.

As the golden specks fell, everyone finally saw their true forms.

Giant weapons of all kinds, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, and forks, with golden flames trailing behind them, crashed down from the sky and smashed into the massive body of the Mountain Dragon King.
