Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

"No, no, this is impossible!"The Spirit Sovereign's expression had already changed drastically at this point. In his eyes, there was no way someone with second Divine Origin realm spiritual power could exist on the Douluo Plane!

However, everything around him told him that this was the undeniable reality. His spiritual power was already close to the third Divine Origin realm, but was being completely overwhelmed from all sides, and he couldn't even resist.

If he wanted to truly reach the third Divine Origin realm, he would have to burn through his own abyssal energy, and after that, it would take him very long to recover, but the recovery process could be sped up if he devoured other powerful abyssal creatures.

Thus, he was only close to the third Divine Origin realm and wasn't actually there yet.

However, Gu Yuena's spiritual power had exceeded this level as soon as it had erupted forth, and she had instantly seized control over the sealed space.

"Nothing is impossible. Do you know why I chatted with you for so long?" Gu Yuena asked as she slowly raised her right hand. 

Her hand gradually transformed into a sharp claw, and it wasn't very large, but as soon as it appeared, it began to release indomitable might that threatened to turn heaven and earth on its head.

"Why?" the Spirit Sovereign asked with a horrified expression.

Gu Yuena replied, "I only wanted to stall some more time so the humans outside won't be suspicious about how quickly I took care of you."

"The humans outside? You're not a human, either?" the Spirit Sovereign exclaimed.

Gu Yuena sighed, "I also have a vendetta against the human race, but I'm taking a different approach from your abyssal plane. Your abyssal plane only dared to invade the Douluo Continent as the Divine Realm had disappeared. While it's true that the Divine Realm has vanished, and even I don't know where it is, that doesn't change the fact that I'm here. If I wanted to, I could've returned to my peak power a long time ago, and it wouldn't even be impossible for me to create a Divine Realm. Unfortunately, I met someone who's made things a lot more complicated.

"Even so, revenge against the human race should be exacted by me, not filthy abyssal creatures like you."

"Wh, what are you?" The Spirit Sovereign stared at Gu Yuena's raised right hand as overwhelming waves of horror washed over his heart incessantly.

"That's not important. Hmm, I think it's about time now. I don't want him to get worried, so it's time for you to die."

She slowly thrust her right hand toward the Spirit Sovereign as she spoke, and the Spirit Sovereign let loose a deranged screech as he detonated his own divine sense with all his might.

He knew that this was his last chance to resist, and if he failed, then he would die.

However, at the godly level, a gap of even one rank often proved to be an insurmountable rift, all he felt was completely immovable pressure converging toward him from all directions. What was even more alarming to him was that there weren't supposed to be any elements in this sealed space, but all types of elements of an extremely high level of purity had appeared around Gu Yuena.

The elements were so dense that they were as viscous as liquid, and they were far superior to the elements that existed on the Douluo Plane.

The nine-colored crystal that Gu Yuena wore around her neck was glowing with faint light, as if it were calling out to something, and it was also giving off a sense of indescribable and indomitable pride.

If Tang Wulin had been present to see this crystal, then perhaps it would've triggered some memories in his mind. He had seen Gu Yuena once back in the Dragon Valley. At the time, Gu Yuena had obtained the most important artifact left behind by the Dragon God in the dragon tomb.

This was the core of the entire dragon clan, the Dragon God's Heart!

This wasn't the actual heart of the Dragon God. Instead, it was the core of the Dragon God's essence left behind by the Dragon God himself, just like the essence that the Golden Dragon King had injected into Tang Wulin's body.

Unfortunately, even Gu Yuena was unable to absorb its power for herself. She and Tang Wulin only represented a part of the Dragon God's power individually, and only by combining as one could they truly draw upon the energy of the Dragon God's Heart.

Having reached the Godking realm at the peak of his powers, the Dragon God was the most powerful beast god, and it had taken several godkings in the Divine Realm to defeat him.

The Dragon God's Heart that he left behind was a transcendent divine weapon!

Even though Gu Yuena was unable to fuse it with her own body, she was able to draw upon its power to a certain extent.

With this transcendent divine weapon in her possession, there was no way that the Spirit Sovereign would've ever been a match for her.

The Spirit Sovereign could clearly sense that his divine sense was slowly being compressed inward in an irreversible process, and the immense pressure was only exacerbating his horror.

He could feel his own divine sense gradually crumbling away by the second.

Not long ago, this woman had been slightly inferior to him in battle, yet now, she was like a high and mighty deity, looking down upon an ant as it slowly perished.

He struggled with all his might, but all of his efforts were futile, and he could only look on as his life force slowly faded.

Gu Yuena slowly raised her Silver Dragon Spear, and a cold light flashed through her eyes...

...... 

"Boom!"

An eruption of purplish-golden light ignited the entire world, and Tang Wulin rushed back in retreat to a higher altitude before looking down at Demon Sovereign with a grim expression.

His opponent already possessed godly power, and even though she still wasn't a true deity yet, she wasn't all that far off.

The most fearsome aspect of godly power wasn't that it was far more fearsome than soul power; even more importantly, it was able to recover at an astonishing rate. Even as these fierce clashes were taking place, Demon Sovereign's godly power was able to rapidly recover, which meant that Tang Wulin was constantly facing Demon Sovereign in her peak form.

If it weren't for the fact that his Sea God's Trident posed a threat to his opponent, his situation would most likely be even worse than it was now.

He reflexively cast his gaze toward the black space not far away, and he could sense that something within that space seemed to be attracting him, and this attraction wasn't coming from Gu Yuena.

This was a very strange feeling that manifested itself in the form of intense yearning.

Demon Sovereign was also looking up at Tang Wulin, and she was quite surprised by how their battle had progressed thus far.

To think that a human could still contend with her even after she became a true god; this would be utterly unthinkable if it weren't for the fact that this was the reality.

She had thought that Chen Xinjie had already reached the very pinnacle of human capabilities, but Tang Wulin with his Sea God's Trident was proving to be an even more difficult opponent.

However, at the same time, she was quietly confident. At the very least, she wasn't facing Sea God Tang San, and she had nothing to fear as long as her opponent was still a human.

At this point, all of the other battles were quite balanced. On the main battlefield, Yali's powerful holy soul skills were able to enhance all allies while weakening all opponents.

Tang Wulin raised his Sea God's Trident once again, and he released his divine sense to encompass the entire battlefield.

Right at this moment, a strange scene unfolded.

All of a sudden, the Abyssal Spirit Dragons that were running rampant on the battlefield abruptly shuddered before exploding violently into massive plumes of dense abyssal energy; even the three Abyssal Spirit Dragon Kings were unable to escape this fate.

At the same time, a deafening boom rang out within the abyssal passageway, and the entire northernmost region tremored violently.

The abyssal passageway began to warp, and a huge number of abyssal creatures that were in the process of rushing out of the passageway exploded into abyssal energy, but the abyssal passageway seemed to have temporarily lost the ability to recover the abyssal energy, so the energy merely drifted along through the air.

At the same time, that inky-black space exploded into a vast expanse of black light.
