Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1894: Dong Zi'an's Resolve

The Demonic Sovereign was the ruler of the Abyssal Demonic Puppets, and even normal Abyssal Demonic Puppets had two lives, so of course he wasn't limited to just a single life. However, despite the fact that he had survived Guan Yue's final attack, his core essence had still been harmed.

Right as the Demonic Sovereign re-emerged, a massive figure abruptly appeared behind him before closing their arms around his body in a fierce embrace. Terrifying pressure instantly compressed the Demonic Sovereign's body from all directions, and the giant figure with their arms around the Demonic Sovereign was revealed to be none other than Dong Zi'an!

The Demonic Sovereign was naturally greatly alarmed, and it immediately tried to struggle free from Dong Zi'an's embrace, but Dong Zi'an was also a Limit Douluo enhanced by a suit of three-word battle armor, and it was not so easy to shake him off.

Of course, if the Demonic Sovereign were at his peak, Dong Zi'an would be no match for him, but this was not the case.

In the instant, that Guan Yue made his breakthrough to the godly level, he was able to see things that he had previously been unable to, including the essence of the Demonic Sovereign. As such, as soon as he hurled his Sky Crossing Divine Spear through the air, he had already informed Dong Zi'an that the Demonic Sovereign most likely had a second life through voice transmission. This was why Dong Zi'an had been waiting here for the Demonic Sovereign to appear.

Dong Zi'an had just experienced the power of the Demonic Sovereign firsthand; the two of them had only clashed thrice, and Dong Zi'an had already been injured. The Demonic Sovereign's physical prowess was superior to anyone Dong Zi'an had ever seen, and he knew that he was no match for such a formidable opponent.

The Demonic Sovereign's physical constitution had already reached the godly level, and it if weren't for Guan Yue's self-sacrificial attack, there was most likely no way for anyone in the human camp to harm him.

As such, as soon as Dong Zi'an encircled his arms around the Demonic Sovereign's body, he also ignited his battle armor without any hesitation.

Your death won't be in vain, Guan Yue! 

At the same time, Dong Zi'an's eyes were opened wide as he cast his gaze toward the human army, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.

In the next instant, bursts of silver light exploded behind him, causing the surrounding space to cave in violently. His enormous body also began to turn a shimmering silver color.

Why was it that Dong Zi'an had been able to cultivate such an ordinary martial soul to the Limit Douluo level? A part of this could be attributed to martial soul mutation, but the most important contributing factor was the fact that he had mastered the true meaning of space by chance; this was what had allowed him to make one breakthrough after another and go from strength to strength.

However, Dong Zi'an knew that his limit was the demigod level; there was no way he would ever reach the quasigod level as he was limited by his aptitude in the end.

If he were facing the Demonic Sovereign at his peak, he would only be able to last 10 exchanges at most before he would be struck down. However, the debilitated Demonic Sovereign gave him an opportunity.

Dong Zi'an was not just vicious to his enemies, but also to himself.

He wasn't just defending his own glory; he was defending the glory of the entire Western Legion!

In that instant, what had been ignited wasn't just his power, but also the flame in his heart.

His final gaze was directed toward Yu Guanzhi.

Just as he had once said to Yu Guanzhi, he wasn't going to allow his own name to be put on the pillar of shame no matter what.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!"

A burst of violent rumbling rang out as the countless bursts of silver light exploded, and it seemed as if the entire sky had collapsed. The Dark Heaven Domain faded, and the two massive figures were also completely destroyed amid the exploding space.

An enormous amount of abyssal energy emerged before attempting to escape, but right at this moment, a streak of silver light appeared in mid-air, plunging itself directly into the center of the mass of abyssal energy, not allowing any of it to escape. This was none other than Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear! 

Thus, Dong Zi'an and the Demonic Sovereign also perished, and thus far, this match had been an absolute bloodbath.

Guan Yue and Dong Zi'an had sacrificed themselves to kill the Demonic Sovereign, the Black Sovereign, and the Sickle Emperor.

Right at this moment, all of the remaining abyssal rulers were completely inundated by the attacks unleashed by the Rising Sun Heavenly Zither, and aside from the Hornet Sovereign, all of them quickly perished to the rampaging Battle Gods.

Due to the enhancements the Hornet Sovereign had received to her offensive prowess, she was able to just barely stave off the Rising Sun Heavenly Zither's attacks, but she was still slowed down significantly. Thankfully for her, the deaths of the other abyssal rulers had also slowed down the Battle Gods, and now, all she wanted to do was escape.

In her eyes, all of these humans had already gone insane, and her heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of horror.

However, right at this moment, two sword projections suddenly erupted into the sky, and the entire space was instantly sealed. A gigantic regal figure with a crown on its head emerged in the heavens, and it was over a kilometer tall, wielding a longsword that looked as if it were capable of passing judgment on even heaven and earth itself.

This was the soul fusion skill between Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun, Tianwu Mengjun Divine Imperial Sword, and it was giving off boundless grief and fury. Guan Yue and Dong Zi'an had sacrificed themselves without any hesitation so their allies could survive; all of the Battle Gods were aware of this, and they certainly weren't going to hold back at all.

They couldn't let the deaths of Guan Yue and Dong Zi'an go in vain.

A lethal aura descended upon the Hornet Sovereign, and her compound eyes contracted drastically.

In this dire situation, she exploded into countless Abyssal Bomber Hornets that fled in all directions.

However, as the giant sword descended from the heavens, it released enormous suction force, gathering all of the fleeing Abyssal Bomber Hornets before destroying them in one fell swoop.

Finally, the giant sword faltered momentarily, and it seemed that an entirely translucent Abyssal Bomber Hornet had managed to stop the sword in its tracks. However, the sword only paused for a split second before it continued to descend, and the buzzing of the Abyssal Bomber Hornets completely faded.

That transparent Abyssal Bomber Hornet was the true body of the Hornet Sovereign, and it was also the planar core of her abyssal level. The Golden Dragon Spear arrived once again, and the Hornet Sovereign also perished.

The Tianwu Mengjun Divine Imperial Sword swept through the air, and the Rising Sun Heavenly Zither released its final radiance as the entire battlefield gradually fell silent. Only the incessant rumbling coming from the abyssal passageway could be heard, and it was arising from the collapsing abyssal levels.

A total of nine abyssal levels, including three in the top 10, had just been destroyed in that match. In addition to all of the abyssal levels that had been destroyed prior to this, the abyssal plane had already lost over 15% of its 108 levels, and a massive chunk of the abyssal army had also disappeared.

Deafening cheers rang out from the human army, particularly from the ordinary soldiers. If the powerful beings of the human army were to win these three matches, then that meant there was a very good chance that they wouldn't have to go into battle again, thereby granting them a greater chance for survival.

Through its immense power, immaculate teamwork, and most importantly, the sacrifices of the two Limit Douluos, the Battle God Hall camp had put an end to the first team of the abyssal army, laying waste to all nine abyssal rulers. At this moment, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear was glowing with scintillating radiance, and the secondary tree of life was also growing rapidly.

...... 

At the Sea God's Lake of Shrek Academy.

Ripples suddenly began to surge over the placid surface of the Sea God's Lake, and the teachers that were teaching in the nearby school buildings immediately rushed out into the open to see what was happening.

Right at this moment, a hint of green slowly emerged from the very center of the Sea God's Lake.

The process was extremely slow, but the massive canopy that was emerging brought with it infinite hope and vitality.
