A dragon's roar shook the sky! Behind Yan, the huge shadow of the Huangtian God Fire Dragon completely solidified and merged with his body! His body swelled instantly, and the surface of his skin was covered with a layer of red-gold dragon scales. Two curved dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, and his hands turned into dragon claws covered with scales. The temperature of the divine fire burning around him soared again, scorching and distorting the surrounding space! The eight black, one red and one gold ten soul rings under his feet were spinning rapidly like a flaming roulette!
"The first divine skill·Dragon Flame Burns the Realm!"
Yan roared angrily, and the golden tenth divine ring suddenly lit up brightly! With him as the center, the void with a radius of several kilometers instantly turned into a red-gold flame purgatory! This is not an ordinary flame, but the Huangtian Divine Fire that incorporates the characteristics of Qinglian's Earth Core Fire and is blessed by a god-level martial spirit and a Vulcan God! In the flames, countless tiny divine fire dragon shadows shuttled and roared, not only burning matter, but also burning souls and imprisoning space!
Chisha Priest’s expression changed drastically! He could feel the terrifying power of this flame field, and the high temperature even made his divine armor start to get hot! What shocked him even more was that the power contained in this flame was actually more powerful than the first-level god Vulcan in the God Realm!
"Shura Blood Evil, protect the body!" The Chisha Priest did not dare to neglect, and immediately activated his divine power. The dark red Shura Evil Qi surged out, forming a thick blood evil shield outside the body, isolating the Huangtian Divine Fire, and making a "chichi" burning sound.
"You have some skills! Take another move from me!" Yan laughed wildly, holding the huge dragon claw in the air, "Blind box skill·Super flame! Fusion-Huangtian Divine Fire Fist!"
He directly used the simple and crude but powerful "Super Flame" skill that he had used from the blind box to fuse it with his own divine fire and soul power, compressing and condensing it into the Dragon Fist! His right fist instantly turned into a blazing white color like the core of the sun, and the terrifying energy fluctuations shook the entire flame field!
「Boom——!」
A giant fist of blazing white flames with a diameter of more than ten meters, like an out-of-control star, tore through the void, and with the will to destroy everything, it blasted towards the Chisha Priest!
Chi Sha Priest's pupils contracted. He could feel the destructive energy contained in this punch, which was beyond the scope of ordinary hundred-level gods!
"Arrogant! Shura: Judgment of Sin!" He roared angrily, condensing a dark red giant sword made of Shura's evil spirit in his hand, carrying the power of the law of judgment and cutting, and slashed at the giant fist of blazing white flames!
——!!!!!”
Blazing white and dark red, flame and evil spirit, two completely different divine powers collided in mid-air! An indescribable loud noise erupted, and the terrifying energy shock wave spread in a spherical shape, instantly evaporating the sea of clouds with a radius of hundreds of miles below, revealing the blue sky and the miniature mountains and land below!
Yan groaned and took a few steps back. There was a tingling sensation on the dragon's claws, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was even higher! He could feel that the opponent was indeed stronger than him, but he was not invincible!
The Chisha Priest was even more shocked! His sword failed to smash the opponent's giant flame fist, but barely defeated it. The force of the counterattack made his blood surge! How is this possible? He is a level 103 priest! The other party is obviously just entering level 100 for the first time!
"Okay! Have fun! Come again!" Yan stabilized his body and did not give the opponent a chance to breathe. He flapped his dragon wings behind him and pounced again! Dragon claws, dragon tail, dragon breath... He fully utilized the power of the Huangtian Divine Fire Dragon, and combined with his powerful fighting instinct, launched a violent storm of attacks!
"Magic Skill·Fire Dragon Roaring Bullet!"
"Magic Skill·Fire Meteor Shower!"
"Magic Skill·Fire Clone! Beat him up for me!"
Hand in the sky, dragon roars shook the sky, flames surged into the sky, and evil aura spread across the sky! The two figures collided and intertwined wildly at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. Every time they clashed, there was a deafening roar and a turbulent flow of energy that tore apart the space!
The more the Chisha Priest fights, the more frightened he becomes! The combat power of this god of fire from the lower realm far exceeded his expectations! The quality of the god-level martial spirit is frighteningly high, the power of the flames is extremely domineering, and the fighting style is wild and fierce. It doesn't look like a newcomer to the god-level at all, but looks like a battle-experienced killing machine! What made him even more frustrated was that the opponent's flame seemed to be naturally capable of restraining his Shura evil spirit, which compromised his strength.
"We can't drag it out any longer! We must use a killing move!" Priest Chisha's eyes flashed with fierceness. He knew that if he couldn't take down the opponent quickly, once he attracted other powerful people in this world, the consequences would be disastrous.
He retreated suddenly, distanced himself, quickly formed seals with his hands, and the Shura evil energy around him gathered crazily, condensing behind him into a huge, blurry Shura shadow holding a bloody giant sword! The will of killing and judgment exuded by the phantom made the entire sky dyed with a layer of blood!
"It is your honor to die under the "Sword of Judgment" handed down by Lord Shura God!" Priest Chisha's face was pale, and it was obvious that it was a great load for him to perform this move, "Judgment of Shura·God-killing!"
The huge phantom of Shura slowly raised the bloody sword in his hand, locking Yan's breath! An irresistible death crisis that seemed to originate from the laws of heaven and earth instantly enveloped Yan's body!
Yan felt the terrifying power contained in the bloody giant sword, which was enough to truly kill the gods, and the dragon scales all over his body stood up! But there was no fear in his eyes, but instead burned with even crazier flames!
"Want to kill me? It's not that easy!" Yan roared, injecting all his divine power, soul power, and the power of the golden divine ring into the Huangtian Divine Fire Dragon Spirit without reservation!
"Huangtian Divine Fire Dragon! The ultimate secret——" Yan's eyes completely turned into two burning suns, and the divine fire dragon shadow behind him roared like never before, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the endless flames!
"Burning the sky and boiling the sea·The dragon god's wrath!!!"
He transformed into the flame itself, and turned into the body of a brilliant fire dragon that stretches across the sky and wants to burn up the sky! With an indomitable determination and the power of the entire flame domain, he slammed into the bloody sword of judgment that fell down!
This is the ultimate showdown between divine fire and killing!
This is a life-and-death collision between the new gods of the lower realm and the veteran priests of the divine realm!
The light swallowed up everything...
The god-level showdown above the nine heavens ended with a burst of red-gold light that tore the sky apart and seemed to burn the entire world to ashes.
When the turbulence of light and energy that could make the sun and moon eclipse slowly subsided, revealing the scene in the center of the battlefield, the winner was decided.
The body of the Huangtian Divine Fire Dragon that Yan transformed across the sky and the earth looked much dimmer at the moment. The huge dragon body was covered with traces of cuts and burns caused by Shura's evil spirit. The red-gold dragon scales were broken into large pieces, and the dragon's blood dripped like lava, burning black holes in the void. His breath was sluggish, and it was obvious that the use of the ultimate secret skill "Burning the Sky and Cooking the Sea: Dragon God's Wrath" was extremely taxing on him, almost draining away his newly established divine power.
However, he was still stubbornly suspended in the air, with the flame of victory burning in his dragon eyes.
Opposite him, the Shura priest Chisha was much miserable. The dark red divine armor on his body was already broken and full of cracks, as if it would disintegrate at any time. The divine body under the divine armor was even more scorched black, with many parts burned by the Huangtian divine fire until white bones were exposed. There was even faint dragon flames that continued to burn in the wounds, hindering the repair of divine power. The giant sword of Shura's evil spirit in his hand had shattered into pieces, and the shadow of Shura behind him had long since dissipated. He was half-kneeling in the void, gasping for breath, and the pale golden divine blood continued to overflow from the corners of his mouth. His eyes looking at Yan were full of horror, resentment, and a trace of... incredible fear!
He was defeated!
He, a second-level priest under the Asura God's Throne, even though he was suppressed to level 103, was defeated by an unknown God of Fire from the Lower Realm who had just stepped into the threshold of level 100! This is simply a shame!
"Ahem... Priest Priest, do you know how powerful I am now?" Yan Qiang took a deep breath, raised his head, and made a hoarse but still arrogant voice. His huge dragon claws stretched out, and a powerful suction force was generated, tightly imprisoning the critically injured Red Sha Priest who was on the verge of death.
Chi Sha Priest tried to struggle, but at this moment, his power was exhausted and he was seriously injured, unable to resist at all.
"You...you dare to capture the priest of the God Realm?! Lord Shura God will never let you go! The entire Douluo Planet will be buried with you!" Chi Sha roared with anguish in his heart.
"Hmph, you are so stubborn when you are about to die!" Yan snorted coldly, tightened the dragon's claws, and the powerful force made the Chisha Priest spit out another mouthful of divine blood, almost fainting. Although Yan was reckless, he also knew that this matter was of great importance and he could not be killed easily. He must be left alive for interrogation.
He stopped talking nonsense and used the remaining divine power, combined with his own flame law, to turn into red-gold divine pattern chains, wrapping and sealing the Chisha Priest layer by layer, completely imprisoning his divine power and ability to move. After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief. The huge dragon body slowly shrank and turned into a human form again. With a pale face, he held the Chi Sha that was sealed like a rice dumpling, turned into a stream of light, and fell towards the Wuhun City below.
…
After returning to Wuhun City, Yan immediately encountered an embarrassing problem - who should he report to?
Pope Bibi Dong? ——During deep seclusion, the evil Rakshasa power emanating from the place of seclusion made Yan feel palpitated and he did not dare to disturb him easily.
Young Master Qian Renxue? ——Also in retreat in Ling Ye's room, the aura of the angel's origin was sacred and vast, and it was obviously a critical moment.
Ling Ye? ——He is also the main force in seclusion. His breath is as dense as an abyss, and he doesn’t know when he will wake up.
Making offerings to Qian Daoliu? ——It’s true that he’s out of seclusion, but he’s taking Bo Saixi on a tour around the world, and the dragon is nowhere to be found. Who knows where we are now?
Yan carried the sealed Chisha Priest and walked around in front of the Pope's Palace several times. Looking at the empty hall and several elders who were also at a loss, he scratched his head helplessly.
"Well, it seems that we can only lock him up first and wait until one of the big guys comes out." Yan sighed, feeling that no one could claim his credit for "capturing the gods in the first battle" for a while.
He personally found a secret room deep underground in the Wuhun Palace, which was the strongest and had the most sealing runes engraved on it. He threw the unconscious Chisha Priest into it and placed several layers of his own Huangtian Divine Fire seals around the perimeter to ensure nothing went wrong. After doing all this, he dragged his exhausted and seriously injured body back to his practice room and began to heal his injuries and consolidate his realm.
Time passes quietly while waiting. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.
This day was in the afternoon, and Wuhun City was peaceful. Suddenly——
An indescribable, extremely cold, evil, yet supremely majestic aura of terror suddenly erupted from the depths of the Pope's Palace, instantly covering the entire Wuhun City!
The sky seems to be a little darker, the sunlight has become cold, and the air is filled with a soul-trembling malice and will to destroy! Countless civilians and low-level soul masters felt palpitations in their hearts, as if they were being targeted by some wild beast, and they trembled involuntarily. Even the elders at the Titled Douluo level turned pale and looked in the direction of the Pope's Palace in shock!
This aura is several times more powerful than Bibi Dong's during the battle with Poseidon half a year ago!
"It's His Majesty the Pope! His Majesty the Pope has come out of confinement!" An elder shouted in surprise.
Yan, who was recovering from his injuries in the underground secret room, suddenly opened his eyes, and the red-gold flame flashed in his eyes: "What a strong aura! It is much stronger than that priest Zamao! It seems that His Majesty the Pope has gained a lot!"
He immediately stood up, regardless of the fact that his injuries had not fully recovered, he picked up the Chisha Priest who was still sealed and dying next to him, and sprinted towards the Pope's Palace in a flash.
…
In the Papal Palace, it was empty and solemn.
At the end of the main hall, on the tall papal throne, a beautiful figure slowly opened his eyes. It's Bibi Dong!
She was still wearing the purple and black papal robes, but her whole temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes. She used to be noble, cold and stern, with a hint of hidden resentment. At this moment, she is sitting on the throne, as if she is the embodiment of evil and destruction! The purple-black Rakshasa power flowed around her like a living thing, condensing into twisted shadows of resentful souls, but they were controlled by her absolute power. Her face seemed younger and more perfect, but deep in those purple eyes, there was an endless abyss of darkness that could swallow up all light!
Her aura has suddenly reached level 103! It is the same level as the previous priest Chisha from the lower realm after he was suppressed! But this is only the level of soul power (divine power). The evil and destructive artistic conception originating from the Rakshasa god's origin exuded from her body is far superior to that of the same level.
What is even more shocking is the slowly rotating soul ring under her feet!
Three reds and seven golds!
Those three blood-red soul rings were so red that they seemed to be condensed from the blood of countless resentful souls, exuding extreme malice and curse. The other seven soul rings completely turned into dazzling gold! That is a symbol of transcending millions of years and entering the divine realm! This means that all the soul rings of her two martial souls (Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eating Spider Emperor), except for the core three that still retain their red color for more than 100,000 years, have all evolved into god-level soul rings!
(Note: Bibi Dong did not fuse all the spirit rings of the two spirits into a divine ring, but first upgraded their quality to the god level to lay the solid foundation for subsequent fusion. When she completely fuses these god-level spirit rings with the Rakshasa god, and condenses the first circle of real "Rakshasa god rings", her strength will skyrocket again, directly reaching levels above level 110!)
Bibi Dong felt the unprecedented power in her body, as well as the perfect fit between her soul and the Rakshasa God. The corners of her beautiful lips curved into a cold and satisfied arc. After half a year of seclusion, she not only completely refined the high-grade spiritual stone, and her soul power exceeded the third level in a row, but also, stimulated by the desolate artistic conception of "The Finger of Prisoner in the Wilderness", she gained a deeper understanding of the true meaning of Rakshasa destruction, thus raising the quality of the soul rings of the two great spirits to such an appalling level!
"God Realm... Poseidon is just the beginning..." She whispered to herself, with a cold light shining in her purple eyes.
Just at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the temple, and a loud but respectful voice:
"His Majesty the Pope! I have something important to report!"
Bibi Dong raised her eyes and saw Yan's burly figure striding into the temple. In his hand, he was also carrying a person who was tightly bound by red-gold flame chains, with weak breath, and wearing broken dark red divine armor... a person from the God Realm?
Bibi Dong's purple eyes narrowed slightly, and she instantly recognized the Shura God's emblem on the divine armor! Her breath suddenly became sharper, and the temperature of the entire Pope's Palace dropped sharply!
"What's going on?" Her voice was cold and emotionless.
Yan felt Bibi Dong's unfathomable aura and cold murderous intention, and his heart was trembling. He did not dare to neglect, and quickly told the story of how he sensed the priest's investigation, how he fought in the sky, and how he captured him with difficulty. The local narrated it again, and finally added: "Your Majesty, this bastard claims to be a priest under the throne of Shura God. His name is Chisha, and he was ordered to come down to find Poseidon, the god of the sea. I don't dare to do anything wrong, so I have brought him here to ask for your Majesty's punishment!"
After hearing this, Bibi Dong’s eyes fell on the unconscious Chisha Priest. A hint of understanding flashed in those deep purple eyes, which was then replaced by a deeper coldness and calculation.
God Shura... really noticed it. Moreover, only a second-level priest was sent? Is it contempt or temptation?
She slowly stood up from the papal throne, and the evil power of Rakshasa flowing around her made the light in the hall distort. She walked down the steps step by step and came to the sealed Priest Chisha.
"Wake him up." Bibi Dong ordered calmly.
Yan responded, flicked his finger, and a tiny wisp of Huangtian Divine Fire penetrated into Chi Sha's body.
"Ah——!" Priest Chisha let out a shrill scream and was awakened by the burning pain in his soul. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Yan's face with a ferocious smile. Then, his eyes met a pair of purple eyes that seemed to freeze his soul!
What kind of eyes are those! Cold, evil, and full of endless hatred and desire for destruction, it seems that if you look at it for one second longer, your soul will be dragged into endless hell!
Priest Chisha shuddered. As a Priest of Shura, he had seen countless cruel people, but no one's eyes had ever made him feel fear from the depths of his soul like the woman in front of him!
"Who...are you?!" Priest Chisha's voice trembled, and he shouted in a stern voice, "I am the priest under the throne of God Shura! If you dare to do this to me, the army of the gods will arrive in an instant, and you will be cut into pieces!"
Bibi Dong did not speak, but stretched out her slender jade hand with a purple-black gemstone ring, and gently pressed it on Priest Chisha's forehead.
"Search for souls."
Speaking out the word "cold", a huge, sinister, and extremely arrogant divine thought instantly rushed into the unprepared sea of consciousness of Priest Chisha!
“No——!!!” Priest Chisha roared in despair. He felt that his memories, thoughts, and even soul were being forcibly read and torn apart by a terrifying force! That kind of pain is a thousand times more terrifying than physical torture!
After a moment, Bibi Dong withdrew his hand, and the Chisha priest collapsed on the ground like mud, his eyes were distracted, foaming at the mouth, and he had turned into an idiot. All his memories, including the purpose of God Shura sending him down, the current general view of the God Realm on Douluo Star, and some fragmentary information about the structure of the God Realm, have been obtained by Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong closed her eyes and quickly digested the information. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with cold killing and determination.
"God Shura... indeed has not realized that Poseidon is dead, and just thought it was his delay... He sent this priest down, more to urge and warn..." Bibi Dong's mind was racing, "This means that we still have time, but it also means that the one who comes next time is likely to be a truly strong person, or even... a force directly under the jurisdiction of the God King!"
She looked at Yan and said solemnly: "You did a good job. Capture this animal alive. The value is far greater than killing him."
Hearing this, Yan's face showed joy: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Bibi Dong glanced at the ground. Chi Sha, who had become an idiot, looked at the deep sky outside the palace and said coldly: "Destroy the corpses and clean up all traces. Then, summon all the elders of Title Douluo and above who are not in retreat, and...invite Ditian and Bi Ji to come over."
Her voice was filled with unquestionable majesty:
"The tentacles of the divine world have reached out, and we must speed up preparations. The war... is about to escalate!"
Bibi Dong's order containing the power of Rakshasa was passed down, but there were only a few responders.
After a while, only a handful of figures gathered in the empty papal hall.
While one of them was worshiping, only two came to worship Golden Crocodile Douluo. His aura already had the faint feeling of breaking through level 100, but at the level of today's level 100 gods, it seemed a bit unsatisfactory. His face was solemn, and he obviously felt the seriousness of the situation.
On the elders' side, there are Ghost Douluo (level 97) and Ju Douluo (level 98), two direct confidants of Bibi Dong. The two of them have limited talents. Even with some gains from the previous blind box, their strength improvement has hit the bottleneck and it is difficult to go further. At this moment, there is a worried look on their faces.
On the side of the soul beasts, Ditian and Biji were invited.
Most of the top combat forces of the entire Spirit Empire and the Spirit Beast Alliance are in deep retreat, making this meeting to deal with the first contact with the divine world seem quite deserted.
Bibi Dong sat high on the papal throne, her purple eyes scanning the few people below, without showing any emotion, but the invisible pressure of Rakshasa made Jin Crocodile, Ghost, and Ju all feel a little short of breath.
Her eyes first fell on Di Tian, and her voice was cold: "Di Tian, senior Gu Yuena, haven't you come out of seclusion yet?"
Di Tian took a step forward, with excitement and expectation in his eyes, and responded in a deep voice: "My lord is still in seclusion. But I can I clearly feel that the dragon power emanating from the Lord's retreat is becoming increasingly pure and vast, and the wounds originating from the bloodline are healing at an alarming rate, and there are even... faint signs of surpassing the past heyday! The day when the Lord comes out of retreat is not far away!"
His voice was trembling. The complete recovery of Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena is of great significance to the soul beast clan! That would be the ultimate power that is truly powerful enough to fight against a God-King-level existence!
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, Gu Yuena's recovery progress was considered good news. She then turned her gaze to the crowd and succinctly recounted the information she had just obtained from the memory of Priest Chisha, including God Shura's doubts, the purpose of sending him to the lower realm (to urge and warn), and the current "underestimation" attitude of the God Realm towards Star Douluo.
She paused briefly, a sharp light flashed in her purple eyes, and made her own judgment: "Based on the speed of time in the divine world, the time left for us is at most... one year." One year is just a blink of an eye for a god-level expert! How can we compete with the divine realm with endless resources?
