The Legend of the Dragon King

1897 Sea God’s Island Must Be Rebuil

The moment it emerged from the water, the entirely new Shrek City was seemingly embellished with colors. The dense life source could be felt by all in Shrek Academy. The Tang Sect disciples and the Titan Giant Ape Clan’s clansmen were the latest residents of the new Shrek City. They could all feel the immense benefits brought by the thriving source of vitality.

A number of silhouettes flew out from the water. They were precisely the seven old demons led by the Old Demon Greed.

Everyone of them had a bewildered and suspicious expression. Nevertheless, there was a semblance of wild joy. The dense life source was immensely beneficial for them naturally. Their lifespan would be increased in the presence of a thriving source of vitality. More importantly, they could advance a step closer to their origin power by subliming with the life force!

It was the Ancient Life Tree. It was now the Ancient Life Tree in its truest sense. A massive amount of life force had been infused into the tree such that the Ancient Life Tree could rapidly grow till it finally breached the water’s surface!

“Big Brother Greed, what’s the size of the tree crown? Less than a tenth of it is revealed, but it’s already like a small island!” said the Old Demon Sloth curiously.

The tree crown was no longer the same as when it was underwater. It was growing rapidly, its branches spreading and leaves sprouting. At the same time, it emitted an even richer life source. The initially clear blue Sea God Lake now had a dash of jade green. The deep, dark green appeared like the color of emerald. The sight was soul-stirring, yet heartwarming. Meanwhile, the crown continued to grow. The rich life sources surged and flowed causing the air to turn sticky even. The intoxicating life force caused a faint green splendor to arise from the seven Old Demons’ bodies.

A radiant sparkle could be seen in the Old Demon Greed’s eyes. “Now that the Sea God Lake and Shrek City are here, Shrek is still missing a true core. Do you still remember the core of our academy before we left the place back then?”

The Old Demon Lust said in astonishment, “Do you mean the Sea God’s Island? Er… What are you trying to say?”

The Old Demon Greed burst out laughing. “Isn’t this a fortuitous opportunity granted by heaven? Isn’t this gigantic crown the best place to rebuild the Sea God’s Island? We can do the preparations first. In the near future, the Sea God’s Island of Shrek Academy ought to be rebuilt when Tang Wulin and the rest returned in victory!”

The seven Old Demons’ eyes lit up. They shifted their gaze to look toward the north. The absorption of such a rich life force could only mean one thing. It signified that everything at the frontline was going well. Tang Wulin was devouring a large amount of life force which was being channeled into the Ancient Life Tree!

…

Tang Wulin clenched his fists tightly. The image on his mind was the Skycrosser Douluo’s final gaze before he died in the battle.

The act of dying peacefully and to be magnanimous at the same time was easier said than done! Yet, he saw not the slightest sorrow or inkling of cowardice in the Skycrosser Douluo. It seemed like he had everything as planned. His accomplishment had been without additional effort.

The two Limit Douluos sacrificed their lives in exchange for the victory of this battle, so that more War Gods could live. They paid with the price of two Limit Douluos’ lives to critically cripple the abyssal plane. Was it all worth it? Strategically, it appeared so. The abyssal powerhouses were incapable of fleeing now! The gamble had paid off. With the presence of the Golden Dragon Spear, their abyssal energies would be devoured and absorbed by Tang Wulin after their deaths. Consequently, the different levels of the abyss collapsed.

Yet, Tang Wulin found it hard to accept the fact emotionally. He was trying his best to stay calm. The battle was of such great importance that he would willingly sacrifice himself for the battle.

However, the Skycrosser Douluo was dead. Tang Wulin did not get to spend a lot of time with the Skycrosser Douluo. He could still remember the Skycrosser Douluo’s lesson to him in the War God Hall like it was yesterday. It was the Skycrosser Douluo who brought him to the spearspirit realm.

At this moment, Tang Wulin’s emotions fluctuated intensely beyond his control as he held the Skycrosser Divine Spear in his hand and felt the Skycrosser Douluo’s calm within it.

‘Your death won’t be for nothing. The final victory of this war will certainly be ours.’

From the beginning of the war till now, mankind’s legion had lost four great Limit Douluos in the battles: the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue, the Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue, and the Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian. It was tragic!

In addition, there were the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu and the other powerhouses. They suffered great losses.

Similarly, they managed to cause tremendous fatalities to the enemies. The four monarch-ranked powerhouses from the abyssal plane had fallen, namely the second, fourth, eighth, and tenth-ranked powerhouses. There were also the deaths of a dozen king-ranked powerhouses from the different levels which resulted in the collapse of the different abyssal levels. This kind of situation did not happen on the battlefield six thousand years ago.

The war had hurt the abyssal plane’s origin power. Perhaps, mankind would stand a chance to fully resolve the issue with the abyss this time.

No matter which generation it was, there had never been so many top powerhouses amongst mankind. Due to the existence of battle armors, different cultivation methods, in addition to the advancement of the Spirit Pagoda’s research in spirit souls, contributed to mankind’s powerhouses emerging in an endless stream. Furthermore, there were the advanced soul technologies. Even the abyssal plane did not expect mankind to become so powerful to the extent it became difficult to finish them off.

The Skycrosser Douluo attained Godhood just before his death to burst forth with a God-ranked strike. In fact, he was so powerful that the powerful Devil Monarch did not even manage to display his abilities before he was killed in battle. Although they were exchanging two lives with two kills, the most powerful powerhouses from mankind’s legion were in the Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, and the Spirit Pagoda. The War God Hall was ranked behind them. The sacrifice was considered minimal from the War God Hall’s viewpoint.

The seven silhouettes organized themselves into a horizontal line. They were the War God One Vast Sun Douluo Ao Rui, the War God Two Emperor Sword Douluo Long Tianwu, the War God Three Dark Emperor Douluo Luo Yuhang, the War God Five Demon Guqin Douluo Mo Zihong, the War God Seven Asiatic Apple Douluo Shi Mengshan, the War God Eight Haughty Dragon Douluo Nan Gongyi, and last but not least, the War God Thirteen God Sword Douluo Su Mengjun. The seven War Gods stood side by side.

At the moment, their eyes reflected feelings of deep sorrow. They bowed in salutation toward the sky in the direction where the Skycrosser Douluo and the Ferocious Wolf Douluo had died.

Ao Rui’s eyes were red. He clearly remembered the Skycrosser Douluo’s announcement to the committee before the war began. He had officially disclosed that the Vast Sun Douluo was going to be his successor. It seemed like the Skycrosser Douluo was saving for a rainy day judging from the current situation. In fact, it was highly possible that he had planned to seize the opportunity provided by the war to attempt a breakthrough to the God rank by sacrificing his life.

He had succeeded. This could be an epoch-making achievement for the soul masters’ world. It was a rank that even the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie and the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming did not manage to achieve, yet he had attained it despite having to sacrifice his life. He was the first man who stood at the God rank apart from the Demon Empress who used the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array to complete the breakthrough!

The Skycrosser Douluo did not have any regrets. At the same time, the War God Hall was so very proud of him.

The first battle, victory to mankind’s legion!

In the federal military command post.

The Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guanzhi’s body was shivering ever so slightly. There was excitement in his heart. He was excited for the victory in the first round. Reality had proven his decision to be right. In the first battle, mankind’s legion managed to have the upper hand.

However, his heart was burdened with grief. He was well aware of the significance of Dong Zian’s deep glance before he died.

The Ferocious Wolf Douluo had used his life to mitigate his humiliation. Dong Zian and Yu Guanzhi both fought openly and in secret as well for so many years. In any case, there was only admiration for Dong Zian in Yu Guanzhi’s heart at this very moment. He thought about the Ferocious Wolf Douluo’s past. He was an ordinary person, yet he worked hard to become a Limit Douluo. Later, he became the Western Army Corps’ regimental commander and a military mogul. He had sacrificed way more than his peers.
