Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1921: Love Moves the Heavens

However, was their soul fusion skill really able to defeat the Holy Lord? Even Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena's Dragon God Transformation had failed!

In the next instant, both Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin suddenly transformed into countless projections that lit up the entire sky.

The Heartless Sword and the Amorous Sword overlapped in mid-air, transforming into a streak of dazzling silver light that rose up into the heavens.

Strong emotional fluctuations instantly surged across the entire battlefield, and in that instant, many people were moved to tears.

Even the Holy Lord seemed to have been affected, and his eyes glazed over momentarily.

However, he then immediately returned to his senses, and his expression changed slightly as he pointed his left index finger in Gu Yuena's direction.

At the same time, he rushed directly toward the two giant swords in the sky while slashing his Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift toward them.

An incomplete figure immediately threw himself in front of Gu Yuena without any hesitation while yelling, "Please allow Zhangting to live!"

In the next instant, the figure exploded into a shower of blood and unyielding will.

Thus, the former Spirit Pagoda Chairman, Qiangu Dieting, fell in battle.

He had used his own life to shield Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin in exchange for his great-grandson's survival. Of course, that was assuming that the human race could survive.

Meanwhile, the silver light in the sky was beginning to rain down from above, and for the first time, the Holy Lord's attack fell upon nothing.

In the instant that it was swung through the air, its target had suddenly disappeared.

The silver light continued to fall, and those intense emotional fluctuations surged through the area, encompassing the Holy Lord along with all of the abyssal creatures rushing out of the abyssal passageway, forming a gigantic silver cocoon.

The immense oppressive pressure in the sky suddenly vanished, and the sky seemed to become a little brighter, but the darkness and the purple sun still remained.

Two giant projections were hovering in the sky, and both of them seemed to be very peaceful, relieved, even.

Cao Dezhi declared, "Our soul fusion skill can only last three days. After three days, the spatial folds will fade, so you only have three days to prepare. Wulin and Gu Yuena are our only hopes, so please give them your unreserved support."

This was the soul fusion skill between the Heartless Douluo and the Amorous Douluo. The heartless one denies his innermost feelings, while the amorous one is left to rue what could've been, but in the end, their love moves the heavens!

Thus, both of the Limit Douluos of the Tang Sect also departed from this world.

...... 

"Is it finally over? Can we finally be rid of all of our inhibitions?" Zang Xin asked in a gentle voice.

Cao Dezhi wore an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry."

Zang Xin shook his head in response. "You have nothing to be sorry for; I was also afraid to face our feelings, just like you. However, we were destined to be connected in this way ever since we first met, no, ever since we were first born. It seems that our tale was also destined to end in tragedy. We both knew this as soon as we used Love Moves the Heavens for the first time, and that's why you applied to the Blood God Legion. I didn't stop you because neither of us wanted to see this tragedy take place."

Cao Dezhi sighed, "Looking back, neither of us is to blame; we can only blame the heavens for playing a prank on us. We couldn't be together in the end, but it's not because of gender. Instead, it's because your Amorous Sword and my Heartless Sword are constantly rejecting one another aside from when they're fused together."

A wry smile appeared on Zang Xin's face. "Indeed, the heavens gave us the ultimate soul fusion skill, but this is the price we must pay for such an endowment. We're unable to fall in love with anyone else, yet we're forced to constantly reject one another physically; that's why I said that our tale was destined to end in tragedy from the very beginning."

Cao Dezhi sighed, "It's finally all over. However, only today did I discover that not all Limit Douluos have to sacrifice their lives to unleash their soul fusion skills; it seems that this only applies to us. In the end, we made the right decision, but it's a pity that we can only buy them three days of time."

Zang Xin replied, "Wulin is the son of Tang San, so there's definitely going to be a miracle. In the meantime, we've done all that we can. Guan Yue of the Battle God Hall was able to attain momentary godhood, but our Tang Sect also has this godly soul fusion skill, so we haven't brought shame to the Tang Sect; we upheld the glory of the Tang Sect even until the very end."

Cao Dezhi chuckled, "None of that is important anymore. I don't regret anything in this life, and I don't regret meeting you."

Zang Xin replied, "I hope we don't meet in the next life."

However, Cao Dezhi shook his head in a firm manner. "No, in this life, we were brothers, but in the next life, we'll be a couple."

...... 

The silver light barrier stood between heaven and earth, keeping out everything in the outside world. The powerful beings of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were currently all in a state of crushing grief.

They had lost far too much in this battle.

There was Long Yeyue, Yali, Wu Zhangkong, Lan Muzi, and now, they had also lost Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi. A significant chunk of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect's top-tier powerful beings had been lost in an astonishingly short span of time, and just when the situation was looking completely hopeless, the two Limit Douluos of the Tang Sect finally stepped forward, sacrificing themselves to seal the Holy Lord.

In the spatial seal, even the Holy Lord wielding Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift was temporarily unable to escape, but was there any point to all of this?

Everyone's hearts had completely sunk. The Holy Lord was invincible; what difference was three days going to make?

Furthermore, Tang Wulin was already on the brink of death!

Everyone from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had already gathered around Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena.

Tang Wulin's incredible regenerative abilities had healed the massive wound on his body, but blood was still flowing incessantly out of his nose and mouth.

There was no way for him to reconstruct a completely destroyed heart and dragon core, and the residual aura of Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift was still wreaking havoc inside his body incessantly, constantly stripping away his life force.

He was currently unable to even teleport himself back to the tree of life, and any other person would've already perished along ago to such grievous injuries; only his immense life force had allowed him to last to this point.

Gu Yuena was kneeling beside him with a determined look on her face, and she suddenly pulled out a jade box from her storage soul tool, taking the utmost care as she did so.

Zang Xin had reminded her that she still had a present from Tang Wulin that could save his life.

She opened the box urgently with trembling hands, and her body was currently completely stained by Tang Wulin's blood.

Inside the jade box sat a large red flower that was giving off a faint golden glow.

In the instant that it appeared, even the emotions of grief permeating through the air from Love Moves the Heavens was significantly alleviated.

This was none other than the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower that Tang Wulin had picked for Gu Yuena.

She picked up the flower and stuck it into her own mouth before gently chewing on it. The flower immediately melted her mouth, forming a fragrant and refreshing liquid.
