Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

Wasn't it supposed to be the case that no one was able to reach the Divine Origin realm in the human world? What was going on here?

The catalyst behind the mobilization of the Blood River Godslayer Array was his arrival. In the abyssal plane, he was the ruler of the second abyssal level, which placed him below only the Holy Lord in the entire plane.

He was revered as the Spirit Sovereign by all abyssal creatures.

In all 108 levels of the abyss, only three were occupied by only a single being each, and those were the top three levels.

These three beings reigned supreme in their respective levels, and they were referred to as the Three Abyssal Saints.

Of course, the Holy Lord's authority was unmatched, and right below him was the Spirit Sovereign, who wasn't even just a quasigod anymore; he already had one foot in the realm of godhood.

If it weren't for the fact that the current abyssal plane couldn't contain so many godly beings, he would've already become a god.

He was even more eager than the Holy Lord for the abyssal plane to devour the Douluo Plane as even just a portion of the Douluo Plane's life energy would allow him to transcend to godhood.

Due to the fact that he already had one foot in the door, he knew exactly what changes would take place once he became a god.

He was the Holy Lord's right-hand man, and during the Holy Lord's stints of seclusion, he was the one overseeing the entire abyssal plane.

As such, it was completely unexpected for a powerful being of his caliber to encounter a worthy opponent as soon as he arrived on the Douluo Plane.

Gu Yuena also had a grim look in her eyes as she looked up into the sky. If it weren't for the fact that she was restricted by the plane, the Spirit Sovereign would be no match for him, but the restrictions imposed upon her by the plane prevented her from returning to her full power, which meant that she didn't have absolute confidence in her ability to defeat this opponent.

Furthermore, the four beings accompanying the Spirit Sovereign were also giving off extremely powerful auras. The Hornet Sovereign wasn't among them, and even the Black Sovereign was standing at the very edge of the group, which was an indication that the five of them were all abyssal sovereigns that ranked above the Black Sovereign!

It was very likely that all of the most powerful beings of the abyssal plane aside from the Holy Lord had already arrived on the Douluo Continent, and that was completely different from the situation that had transpired 6,000 years ago.

This had undoubtedly been caused by the Blood River Godslayer Array. The array posed a massive threat to the human army, and even without it, it would be a very difficult task for the human army to oppose such a formidable abyssal army.

"How interesting. I must say, it's quite a refreshing feeling to encounter a worthy foe. Once I devour your power, I may be able to reach that level even before this plane is devoured." Following a brief period of astonishment, the Spirit Sovereign's eyes were now filled with excitement.

"Why don't you try me?" Gu Yuena challenged in a cold voice.

"Sure!" the Spirit Sovereign said with a smile, and Gu Yuena was struck by the feeling that she was looking at Tang Wulin at the sight of his smile.

Right at this moment, the Spirit Sovereign's eyes suddenly transformed into a pair of golden vortexes that released immense suction force.

This was his soul devouring ability!

Two of the Spirit Pagoda's powerful beings that were situated quite close to him both groaned in unison, and a wisp of white mist surged out of the tops of their heads, following which they instantly disintegrated into nothingness. Not only that, but all of the humans on the battlefield within a radius of around a kilometer also disappeared in the same manner. The wisps of white mist surged directly into the Spirit Sovereign's body, and Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly upon seeing this as a rainbow tinge suddenly appeared in the silver light that was radiating from her body.

She pointed her Silver Dragon Spear directly toward the Spirit Sovereign, then shot forth toward him like a speeding arrow.

"Slaughter to your heart's content, my children!"The Spirit Sovereign smiled as he stepped forward to meet Gu Yuena, and the abyssal army that was bowing in reverence just a moment ago immediately charged toward the human army again, as if they had been given shots of strong stimulants.

"Clang!" The Spirit Sovereign's finger struck the Silver Dragon Spear, and Gu Yuena shuddered slightly from the impact, but the Silver Dragon Spear's devouring power was also unleashed. However, golden light flashed from the Spirit Sovereign's finger, also forming a vortex that nullified the Silver Dragon Spear's devouring power. Immediately thereafter, the light around his body suddenly began to warp, and a formidable spiritual explosion erupted forth.

Even if Tang Wulin were in Gu Yuena's place, he would've definitely been dealt a heavy blow by this attack. Thankfully, Gu Yuena's forte was also her spiritual power, and the rainbow light around her also exploded right as she sensed her opponent's eruption of spiritual power.

Elemental power and spiritual power clashed violently, causing the surrounding air to warp and twist. No one on the battlefield dared to enter a one-kilometer radius of the site where their battle was taking place, not even the abyssal sovereigns.

A clash of this level was not something that could be approached by ordinary beings unless they had a death wish!

The two of them shot back in retreat in unison, and Gu Yuena had clearly been forced back further than her opponent. In the next instant, the Spirit Sovereign conjured up several dozens of projections of himself, and a heavenly symphony rang out, causing Gu Yuena's eyes to glaze over momentarily.

This was divine caliber spiritual captivation! She was able to instantly identify what her opponent was doing, but that was only one thing; resisting the attack was a different matter altogether.

Her movements began to slow down, and memories of the past began to surface in her mind.

The moments she had shared with him on the Sea God's Lake were the most unforgettable memories of her life. The time she had spent with him in Shrek Academy was the happiest time of her life.

There was also that night of intense passion in the Star Luo Empire; all of those memories were clouding her mind and striking at her soul.

Meanwhile, a golden finger was silently approaching her glabella.

A triumphant smile appeared on the Spirit Sovereign's face. He was fully confident in his own spiritual power. Even though it still couldn't compare with the Holy Lord's spiritual power, they were at least of the same realm.

Right as his finger was about to strike Gu Yuena's glabella, her eyes suddenly lit up with scintillating radiance.

The Spirit Sovereign's smile immediately faded upon seeing this, and he accelerated his finger to strike Gu Yuena's glabella right away.

However, it was also at this moment that a circular silver scale appeared on her forehead. The scale was glittering and translucent, and imbued with rainbow radiance.

Upon coming into contact with the scale, the Spirit Sovereign discovered that not only could his abyssal power not penetrate through the scale, the scale was releasing powerful suction force that locked his finger into place.

At the same time, the tip of Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear was on the verge of reaching his throat.

All of this had happened extremely quickly, and it looked like the Spirit Sovereign was done for.

However, it was at this moment that he displayed his fearsome power. Bright golden light radiated from his body, and it was as if he had transformed into a true god.

In the next instant, he abruptly vanished, transforming into a golden vortex that diverted the Silver Dragon Spear away before sweeping toward Gu Yuena.

A rainbow vortex was conjured up by Gu Yuena, and the two vortexes clashed.

The rainbow vortex was swept aside, but the golden vortex was also repelled, and the two of them separated once again.

"How did you shake off my spiritual captivation? This is impossible! You shouldn't possess the power to do this!" the Spirit Sovereign yelled in a shocked and furious voice.

If he had reacted just a moment slower back there, it was very likely that he would've been severely wounded. Was this woman really a human? Since when did humans become this powerful?

He was unable to participate in the invasion 6,000 years ago, but he had gained a thorough understanding of the human race through the accounts of other abyssal creatures. By his understanding, all of the humans in this world should've been completely at his mercy, but it seemed that the situation wasn't so simple.
