Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

Chen Xinjie's appearance also began to change. Just like Long Yeyue, his wrinkles gradually faded, and his hair turned black again. He still stood tall and proud, but he became a little thinner than he was now. He became handsome and dashing, and his eyes were filled with confidence and persistence. No obstacles could stand in his way, and he looked deep into her eyes with his own intense gaze.

The first thing about Chen Xinjie that caught her attention had been his eyes. She had already noticed him the first time he set his eyes on her, and at the time, all she felt was this exchange student seemed really dumb.

However, his eyes were so intense with particularly large irises, and he was staring at her unbridled passion.

There were many boys who liked her, but never had she met anyone who stared at her all the time and went wherever she did.

Even as she walked into her classrooms for her lessons, he would continue to stare at her from outside the windows.

Those eyes made her feel a little panicked and embarrassed, but in the end, they left a deep impression on her.

She was actually aware of everything that happened after that. 

Apparently, the new exchange student was very fond of picking fights under the guise of sparring matches.

On one occasion, she saw him after one of these fights, and he had been beaten black and blue. However, as he struggled to his feet, she was greeted by the sight of a pair of incredibly determined eyes. It was that pair of intense eyes that made her instantly recognize him.

He naturally saw her as well, but he merely looked at her without saying anything.

After that, Long Yeyue gradually noticed a pattern, which was that all of the male students who confessed to her would receive a challenge from him at some point.

In the beginning, he was always getting beaten, but even so, he would still continue to challenge these male students without any hesitation, all the way until he could beat his rival.

Later on, there were very few students capable of beating him, and he was almost always able to win the battles.

After that, Long Yeyue heard that whenever he beat an opponent, he would warn them to stay away from her.

Her first reaction to this was one of anger. How dare he interfere with her life like this?

She even wanted to confront him about this, but he was always avoiding her while appraising her from afar.

That all changed on that day during the Sea God Fate Match-making Convention. She had just entered the inner court, and he had also arrived at the convention.

He was an exchange student from another academy, so he wasn't allowed to participate in the convention, but he rushed out without any regard of the consequences, determined to make his confession even if it meant ruining the convention.

In that instant, he was so brave.

There was no hesitation or fear in his eyes as he yelled in front of everyone, "Long Yeyue, I love you!"

In that instant, she was moved by his determination. Even more importantly, she was attracted to his unyielding spirit and unshakeable determination.

Even she didn't understand why she had accepted his confession, but in any case, he flew over to her and latched onto her hand, and the two of them left the Sea God's Lake.

He gripped onto her hand very tightly, to the point that she was feeling some pain from his grip, but at the same time, she could clearly sense what he was feeling.

It was from that moment forth that she fell in love with him. Perhaps he had already claimed a place in her heart before this, but she simply never noticed.

The year after that was a year that neither of them would ever forget.

"Long Yeyue, I love you," Chen Xinjie said in an earnest manner.

Long Yeyue wound her arms around his neck, and replied, "Chen Xinjie, I love you, too."

In that instant, the abyssal army and Demon Sovereign no longer had anything to do with them; they only had eyes for each other.

A smile appeared on Chen Xinjie's face, and the smile was so relaxed and joyful. However, the light in his eyes also completely faded in this instant, and they held only a reflection of the woman before him.

She didn't cry; she merely continued to hold onto him.

He was no longer able to support himself with the sea, but he was held aloft by her.

She held tightly onto him so that there was no space between the two of them. Even in the instant that he left this world, he still maintained his youthful state.

How he wished that his younger self could've remained true to his determination and stayed by her side.

"We may be parted in this life, but fate has brought us together in the end. Xinjie, we'll never be separated again," Long Yeyue murmured to herself with a faint smile, and she closed her eyes as sorrowful dragon's roars rang out around her.

Two giant dragons, one black and one white, rose up into the air, and they seemed to be telling a story through their roars.

In that instant, she had already closed her eyes and rested her head against his chest, and her aura had completely faded.

The battlefield was no longer important to her. The two of them had been bound by responsibilities for their entire lives, and now, all she wanted was to stay by his side and never part with him.

A huge wave swept up to devour them, but the two dragons lingered in the sky, roaring with grief as they performed a sorrowful dance.

Both Sea God Douluo Chen Xinjie and Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue had fallen.

On the main battlefield in the distance, Yali's heart suddenly jolted as she exclaimed, "Elder Long!"

She had known Long Yeyue for many years and was extremely familiar with Long Yeyue's aura, but all of a sudden, that aura had completely vanished, and it could only mean one thing.

How could this be? She was so powerful; how could she have fallen?

Everyone else quickly noticed the astonishment that Yali was displaying, and their hearts immediately sank.

Right at this moment, a vast expanse of purplish-golden light appeared in the distance, surging toward the battlefield like an all-encompassing tide.

The fearsome purplish-golden wave brought with it enormous pressure, striking all of the humans on the battlefield with an overwhelming sense of asphyxiation.

A sinister look appeared on the Spirit Sovereign's face. "She's finally here! This is where you all die!"

Now that the battle on the sea was over, it was time to destroy the defensive lines of the human army and release the abyssal creatures onto the continent.

As soon as the purplish-golden figure appeared on the battlefield, she instantly became the center of everyone's attention.

One figure after another also flew out of the abyssal passageway and appeared behind her; these were none other than the powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Cult that hadn't been involved in this battle earlier.

Ghost Emperor and Infernal Emperor were directly behind Demon Sovereign, and following them were the four heavenly monarchs.

The seven of them were giving off a mountainous aura as they slowly advanced, and the Limit Douluos of the human army reflexively gathered together to oppose them.

The emperors and sovereigns of the abyss also joined the powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the situation took another turn.

The Spirit Sovereign cast his gaze toward Demon Sovereign, and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

He still hadn't reached the godly level yet, but she had already attained what he had been pursuing for all this time. It wasn't that he didn't have any chances to make the breakthrough in the abyssal plane, but he was constantly being repressed by the Holy Lord.

Even though Demon Sovereign still wasn't a true deity yet, her powers had already reached the godly level.

Gu Yuena had also sensed this, and her expression changed drastically at the sight of Demon Sovereign.

She had well and truly attained godly power; even the planar ruler didn't seem to be able to repress her power any longer.

"You're Demon Sovereign?" Yali asked with a furious expression. The fact that Ghost Emperor and Infernal Emperor were standing behind her was a clear indication that she was the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Demon Sovereign replied, "That's right. I'm glad you're all gathered here today; it saves me the trouble of having to hunt you down one by one. All of you must die and become sacrifices to my new Blood River Godslayer Array."

"Where is Elder Long? What did you do to her?" Yali asked.
