Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

One layer comes from the extreme cold of the Ice Queen, and the other from the purification of the Nine-Colored Deer.

Eva's silver aura had silently adhered to her back, spreading outwards from her shoulder blades like a pair of closing silver hands, enveloping her in a narrowing enclosure.

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her dark purple divine power surging wildly within her body, attempting to break free from the three layers of oppressive restraints simultaneously.

But at that very moment, Qian Renxue made her move.

Her figure flashed past Bibi Dong's side, and golden holy flames suddenly rose from the longsword in her hand, transforming into a golden sword light that was condensed to the extreme, precisely slashing towards the edge of the silver halo that was approaching Eva.

Her movements were incredibly fast, exceeding the limits of any visual tracking.

The sword light landed precisely at the boundary where the silver halo and the icy chill alternated, and the energy structure of that area was the weakest in her perception.

The golden sword light crashed down, exploding into a blinding golden light at the spot where the silver halo and icy cold air alternated, briefly shaking a fine crack in the energy structure of that area.

Bibi Dong seized that fleeting opening. Dark purple divine power surged outward from the crack, simultaneously pushing the closing silver and ice-blue halos apart by a distance.

The two women floated back to back in the briefly torn energy layer. One was shrouded in dark purple resentment, while the other held a golden longsword burning with holy flames.

His gaze swept over the three figures who were readjusting their surroundings, like two beasts cornered.

When Bibi Dong spoke, her voice was as cold as a knife chilled to the bone: "So you've finally decided to make a move."

Qian Renxue did not turn around, her voice calm yet tinged with complexity: "I did it not for you."

Bibi Dong chuckled but didn't refute. She knew Qian Renxue was telling the truth.

But she didn't care; as long as she could escape this battle, nothing else mattered.

Qian Renxue's gaze was fixed on Eva. She could feel that Eva's aura was becoming more stable than before, as if some kind of layout that had been repeatedly confirmed was being brought to its final state.

“Eva,” Qian Renxue spoke, her voice still clear amidst the hum of the burning holy flames, “Are you really going to take this far?”

Eva did not answer, but her aura suddenly changed.

The silver halo, like a silver flower suddenly ignited, burst forth in the twilight.

The silver halos that were slowly seeping in began to spread outwards at an unprecedented speed after being injected with a new force.

The Snow Queen and the Nine-Colored Deer moved at almost the same time.

A long, icy blue spear materialized in the Ice Queen's palm. The spear's body emanated an extremely cold aura, as if compressed to its limit, and its tip pointed directly at Qian Renxue's chest.

The Nine-Colored Deer's attack was much gentler. She simply raised her right hand, her five fingers slightly spread, and a warm, nine-colored light surged from her palm, silently covering Bibi Dong's body, forming a pincer attack with the expanding silver halo.

The three gods acted simultaneously, and three completely different but equally divine powers converged at the same point at the same moment.

At that moment, Qian Renxue's golden holy flames suddenly surged up, blooming behind her like a golden fire lotus that had been ignited, pushing back the approaching silver light and cold air by several inches.

Bibi Dong's dark purple resentment also erupted to its extreme. A dark purple scythe materialized in her hand, which she swung fiercely towards the Nine-Colored Deer.

However, the encirclement by the three forces has already taken shape.

Qian Renxue's golden holy flame was intercepted head-on by the Ice Queen's ice-blue spear. The spear tip and the holy flame continued to rub against each other on the narrow contact surface, producing a fine, piercing sound.

The nine-colored light of the Nine-Colored Deer was like a net being slowly tightened, wrapping around Bibi Dong's figure from the outside. The dark purple scythe was still several inches away from her when it was enveloped by the layers of light and could not advance any further.

Eva's silver aura had already converged from all directions, encompassing the last remaining space around the two women.

Bibi Dong swung her dark purple scythe outwards, attempting to cut a gap in the closing silver aura.

Qian Renxue's golden longsword followed closely behind, slashing in a straight line towards the Ice Queen's ice-blue spear, attempting to create a path for her the moment she broke through the encirclement.

Chapter 600 Closing the Net

Eva wouldn't give them that chance. She raised her right hand, spread her fingers, and then gently closed them.

The silver halo completely closed at that moment. Like a gate that had been pushed to its limit simultaneously, it completely enveloped the two figures who were trying to break through.

Qian Renxue's golden holy flames continued to burn inside the silver cage, intertwining, colliding, tearing, and reforming wildly in the confined space with the icy blue chill and dark purple resentment.

But her power is being consumed layer by layer, and the holy flames that were once like an inexhaustible source are dimming at a visible speed.

She looked at Eva, her golden eyes swirling with extremely complex emotions.

In the distance, towards the villa in the east of the city, a crimson-gold light was steadily rising, like a lighthouse being slowly filled.

The process of the Sea God's inheritance is nearing its end.

On that battlefield shrouded in silver, gold, blue, and purple light, Ariel felt as if she were slowly floating in an endless golden ocean.

The golden light enveloped her like warm seawater, flowing slowly along her meridians and seeping into every corner of her bones, flesh, and soul.

The power of the sea god is merging with her in an extremely gentle yet irreversible way.

The rhythms of the tides, the direction of ocean currents, the formation and dissipation of storms, the breath and heartbeat of the entire ocean, are like rivers flowing into the depths of her consciousness, slowly filling every blank space in her perception.

She could feel her connection with the sea growing stronger.

Those things that she used to have to repeatedly perceive to touch, those ancient knowledge about the ocean, are now entering her soul at a speed beyond her imagination, as if they had always belonged to her, just waiting to be remembered.

Ariel opened her eyes and looked at the space covered by crimson-gold light.

She could feel the power within her body becoming more and more harmonious, like a lake being slowly filled, with the water level rising irreversibly.

The final threshold that stood between her and the position of the sea god was growing thinner and thinner.

Ariel took a deep breath, her consciousness like a waterway being infused with new currents, slowly extending into the depths.

She could feel herself touching the complete authority belonging to the sea god, like a pair of hands tentatively pushing open a heavy door.

The door is slowly opening.

Inside that silver cage, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong's resistance was growing weaker and weaker.

Qian Renxue's golden holy flames had been largely consumed by Eva's silver aura and the Ice Queen's extreme cold, and the light on the sword was dimming at a visible speed.

Bibi Dong's dark purple resentment was also enveloped by the purifying power of the Nine-Colored Deer. The black patterns that had once surged like a tide were fading away layer by layer, revealing the energy veins that had been suppressed and almost stopped below.

Eva stood directly in front of the silver cage, her emerald eyes reflecting the two figures that were becoming increasingly blurry.

She slowly closed her fingers.

The cage formed from the silver aura trembled slightly at that moment, and then began to slowly shrink inward.

Qian Renxue could feel her body being enveloped by an invisible force. The force was not violent, but it had an irresistible penetrating power, like spring water soaking into sand.

Her consciousness was slowly fading, and the golden holy flames that had once burned like wildfire within her were gradually dying out.

The golden light faded from her sword, receded from the edges of her wings, and vanished from the depths of her eyes. Like fine sand carried away by the receding tide, revealing the moist rock layers beneath, soaked by the sea.

Qian Renxue tried to struggle, attempting to mobilize the last bit of divine power within her body to resist the closing force. But she could no longer lift her arms; the divine power that had once been as responsive as her arms was like a frozen river, slowly stagnating and solidifying in her meridians.

Her gaze passed through the blurring silver halo and landed on Eva's face, which was as calm as an ancient well.

Qian Renxue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her throat felt like it was being gently blocked by something.

Then her eyelids slowly drooped, and golden wings silently folded behind her, like a bird folding its wings.

Bibi Dong's condition was worse than hers.

After being suppressed layer by layer by the purifying power of the Nine-Colored Deer and the extreme cold power of the Ice Queen, that dark purple resentment had long lost its initial sharpness.

The black lines that once surged like a tide became extremely thin under the silver halo, like a drop of ink that had been repeatedly diluted and could no longer leave a clear mark in clear water.

Bibi Dong's figure slowly descended within the silver halo, her gaze still fixed on Eva, her purple eyes churning with anger, resentment, and a stubbornness that was being slowly eroded.

But her consciousness could no longer sustain that stubbornness.

Her eyelids also slowly drooped, and the dark purple light flickered slightly the moment she closed her eyes completely, then vanished completely like a candle flame extinguished by the wind.

The two women hovered in the center of that silver halo, their auras gradually calming down in an extremely slow but irreversible way.

Qian Renxue's golden holy flames have been completely extinguished, and the golden light spots that once flowed around her are disappearing one by one like ashes blown away by the wind.

Bibi Dong's dark purple resentment also completely subsided. The black patterns that once entwined around her body had all faded away, revealing her face below, which appeared unusually pale due to excessive consumption of divine power.

Eva stood in front of the silver cage, her emerald eyes quietly watching the two sleeping figures.

Then she slowly raised her right hand, her five fingers closing together.

The silver cage trembled slightly at that moment, then began to slowly contract inward, gently enveloping the two sleeping figures within.

A silver light continuously flowed across the surface of the cage, isolating everything inside from external perception.

The cage continued to shrink, gradually decreasing in size from its initial coverage of several feet to the size of only one person. It then continued to shrink until it finally transformed into a palm-sized silver sphere of light, hovering above Eva's palm.

The surface of the sphere of light shimmered with a fine sheen, like dewdrops soaked in moonlight, and inside, two blurry figures could be vaguely seen sleeping peacefully.

Eva looked down at the silver orb of light above her palm, then put it into her body.

The silver orb vanished the moment it merged into her body, disappearing like a drop of ink falling into clear water, leaving no trace.

It will take them a long time to wake up.

The seal imposed by the three gods will slowly seep into, permeate, and cover the depths of their consciousness, like a layer of veil being repeatedly layered, completely isolating their senses from the outside world.

In the direction of the villa in the east of the city, the crimson-gold light reached its peak at this moment.

The light, like a giant pillar ignited, shot into the sky from the courtyard, turning the entire twilight into a flowing golden ocean.

The air trembled slightly under the impact of this light, like the surface of water rippled by the wind, spreading out in concentric circles of fine energy ripples.

Ariel floated in the very center of the light, her fiery red hair flowing freely in the golden halo, like a flame that had been ignited.

Those light blue eyes have now completely turned into a gold that is the same as the power of the sea god, like two stars that have been melted down, shimmering with a warm and profound luster in the light.

She could feel that her connection with the entire sea had become completely secure, and the last barrier between her and the sea god's position had completely disappeared.

A golden halo slowly formed behind her.

The edges of the divine ring were adorned with undulating golden patterns like ocean waves, slowly rotating in the crimson-gold light, exuding an ancient and vast aura.

The position of the sea god was fully bestowed upon her at this moment.

Eva walked slowly from the silver halo, her steps neither hurried nor slow.

Her deep purple robes swayed gently in the night breeze, and her emerald eyes reflected the golden aura emanating from Ariel as it receded in the twilight.

“Congratulations.” Eva stopped in front of Ariel, nodded slightly, and said with sincere approval, “From now on, you are the true Lord of the Sea.”

As Ariel slowly descended from mid-air, her feet touched the bricks of the city wall. The power of the sea god within her surged slightly, like a newly flowing stream being injected into a waterway, before returning to its steady state.

She looked at Eva, her light golden eyes filled with a clarity and serenity that came with a recent transformation. "Thank you, Eva. If you hadn't stopped the Deep Sea Demon Whale King for me, I wouldn't have been able to complete the inheritance in such a short time."

Eva waved her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips: "No need to thank me. Since you're carrying out the Sea God's legacy on my territory, I naturally won't allow outsiders to disturb you."
