Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 393: Beginning of the End

Brilliant flames erupted around Mu Xi like a blazing heatwave that sent spheres rippling around her, unleashing a burst of brilliant flames.

All of the Mortuus Creatures released shrieks as they felt their whole body being consumed by the shimmering sea of flame. The flames continued spreading out, moving in continuous waves as they began to devour all those caught in its way.

Mu Xi didn't stop moving after she had unleashed that attack, pushing off the ground and moving behind the sea of flames. The flames continued ramping through the rushing Mortuus Army, wiping out close to a hundred of them before it came to a stop.

As an Emerald Barrier appeared before the Mortuus Creatures with the flame smashing into it before fading away.

But Mu Xi didn't care in the slightest, as she held up her ancient sword that began to give a red glow to it.

With a simple slash, a perfect arc of flames was formed, producing waves of flame that smashed into the Emerald Barrier.

The flames and the emerald barrier struggled with each other for a bit before the barrier shattered, emerald specs scattering around. Just as Mu Xi leaped through as she waved her hand that began to give off a dazzling light, three miniature orbs appeared.

All three of them were strung up together like three suns as Mu Xi grabbed them all in a single motion before hurling them forward.

The three miniature orbs blasted forward producing a harmonic series of explosions that consumed and blasted the creatures away.

But in the next moment, more took their places!

More and more Mortuus creatures began to move towards Mu Xi's location, trying to devour her in their tides. Some of them came from above, with some of them flying, trying to stop her from escaping if she tried aerial movement.

While they didn't know the reason why she tried to charge them alone, it didn't matter much to them. As they simply wanted to destroy her where she stands, for no other reason than she was the foe in front.

But Mu Xi didn't express any worry as her eyes began to narrow while her rings began appearing from below her, shining dazzlingly.

As the Mortuus Creatures, all rushed towards Mu Xi with some of them jumping and another pouncing towards hers.

Mu Xi's eyes shined like the brilliant sun itself, as her martial soul began to illuminate the whole area around her.

'Seventh Ring: Okami Spirit Avatar.'

Then in the next moment, all of the Mortuus Creatures felt their figure tremble uncontrollably as they were in the motion of attacking.

They felt a strange sense of dread, it was merely their instincts warning them of the incoming danger.

A danger that they couldn't escape from as it was too late.

In that instant, flames that were too hot to even be seen swept through the whole area, submerging all of the creatures around her. The fire elements around Mu Xi began illuminating the area as these flames started to engulf the Mortuus creatures near her.

This type of power was too terrifying, the creatures were all burned to nothingness, none of them were able to withstand just the appearance.

Like a domino effect, the creatures around Mu Xi were all being burned to dust, one after another without any exception.

The cries of the Mortuus Creatures rang out, roaring angrily, carrying unwillingness. However, this was all they could do before they were consumed by the flames that surpassed even the core of the sun.

Not even the Emerald Generals barrier could stop the oppressive heat and flames that swept through the area.

But as if Mu Xi wasn't done, her eyes shined even brighter before even more flames began to erupt from her body. The heat around grew even more scorching, becoming thirty times hotter than the sun itself, obliterating everything around her.

Those who were fortunate enough to survive earlier weren't able to survive the next one that came rushing soon after. Struggling desperately one second before being gone in the next second, as if they never existed in the first place.

Ten thousand Mortuus Creatures were completely wiped out!

"Terrifying, how could a mortal possess such power?"

One of the Emerald General muttered as it forced the Mortuus Creatures under it to stop advancing. The other generals followed its lead, all of them unwilling to lose any more of their soldiers.

"Hmm. The heat she is giving off is hotter than the sun core itself, but I doubt she can maintain that for long... Have all of our soldier's release long barrages against her."

One of the Emerald Generals was able to easily see through the strength and weakness of Mu Xi's ability before giving the command. All of the generals nodded their heads but then their expressions changed when they saw what Mu Xi did next.

The flames that were spreading around Mu Xi began to tremble before figures began to rise from them. The Emerald Generals saw corpses that looked like them rising out of the flame, eyes burning like the sun themselves.

But what caught their attention was that these corpses looked just like the Mortuus Creatures that Mu Xi just killed before.

'She can revive the creatures she has killed before? It looks similar to our ability, but they seem to be summoned from the flame, like some kind of rebirth.'

This was the thought of one of the Emerald Generals as its eyes narrowed. While this happened, the charred corpses released an ear-shattering roar before charging towards the Mortuus creatures before it.

They all rushed towards the Mortuus creatures, their whole body was surging with the flames that were covering Mu Xi. This led to the Emerald Generals' expression turning grim while trying to make barriers around the army.

And unleashing an onslaught of attacks towards the rushing army of corpses that mounted up to ten thousand. As the arrays of Emerald Light began to rain down on the rushing corpse, they began to be affected by the heat.

As steam began to rise off them, some of them scattering away, The weaker attacks were all burned to nothing while stronger ones reduced in strength. Before making contact with the rushing army.

Yet even then it didn't cause much damage as the flames around them reduced the damage even more. The Emerald Generals' face fell when they saw the corpse smashing into their barrier that actually melted from the heat.

The Mortuus Creatures released a roar as they began hacking at the corpse in front of them but the burning corpse didn't care. As they all pounced on them, scratching, clawing, and biting the Mortuus creatures.

But just from the heat that their body was giving off, the Mortuus Creatures were all screaming in pain. Before they were killed as the corpse killed them with their weapons or limbs before they continued moving forward.

While this was happening, more rings began to appear behind Mu Xi, all of them shining as she outstretched her hand. A miniature sun began forming in her hand with its devouring all of the flames that were erupting out of her.

'Ninth Soul Skill: Supernova.'

This was Mu Xi's skill that she gained after becoming a Title Douluo, allowing her to condense a miniature sun in her hand. The sun that held the power to eradicate and erase anything it touches out of existence, leaving nothing.

Not even a person's soul.

In the next few seconds, all of the flames on Mu Xi was gone, all of it condensing into the sun in her hand. Then the orb began changing, growing bigger and pushing out, forming a long blade made out of the fire.

Before she looked at where the Generals were at and then her figure disappeared in a flash of light, appearing right in front of them.

Without another word, even as the emerald generals began moving their gaze to her. She immediately brandished a long blade of fire, hacking forward.

A brilliant orange-red radiance hacked apart the sky, extending across thousands of meters.

Blasting and engulfing all of the Emerald General with its brilliant flames!

The entire sky was lit up, as the flames rushed through the sky like violent waves, burning the space around them. The flames were all from Mu Xi soul avatar, meaning every bit of these flames was thirty times as hot as the core of the sun.

So how could these Emerald General be able to contend with it?

The Emerald General all roared out, trying to protect themselves from the flames and escape. But couldn't since the flames had spread across the whole sky, engulfing their whole figure and burning through their skin.

In the next second, all of the Emerald Generals were obliterated by Mu Xi. But the flames themselves didn't stop after consuming them, they began falling from the sky.

Down upon the Mortuus Creatures and the burning corpses that were attacking. A terrifying shriek and agonized scream rang through the whole battlefield as the flames fell on the Mortuus Creatures.

The flame was falling like a shower of rain, falling on about five hundred thousand of the Mortuus Creature Army. Killing them within seconds from being unable to withstand the flame or being distracted by the burning corpse.

The burning corpse wasn't affected by the flames; they got even stronger when the flame fell on them. Increasing the heat around them, alongside the fire output from their body.

In the next few seconds, over fifty thousand Mortuus creatures had died. Seeing this, Mu Xi dropped down to the ground, expanded her flames, slaughtered another ten thousand, and boosted the rushing burning corpse.

Before she then had the ones who had died before rose up. This included two of the generals who weren't able to revive themselves before.

'Alright, that should be enough... I am already close to being out of energy.'

Mu Xi thought as she began to send the burning corpses that numbered up to seventy thousand towards the Mortuus Army. With the Burning emerald generals being the leader of this charge before she turned into a streak of light.

That moved back towards the towering wall behind, appearing on them.

As she did, Mu Xi dropped to the ground, feeling almost all of her soul power was gone. Her squad rushed towards her, to make sure she was okay while Mu Xi stared at the battlefield.

'Gu Yuena... I hope everything is going according to what we all discussed.'

At the same moment, Xu Xiaoyan was standing on the walls with rings appearing behind her. She had already noticed Mu Xi moving back to the wall in a streak of light, meaning she wouldn't be in the way.

She pulled back the bowstring after notching on arrows to them before she shot out a dozen arrows that pierced towards the army. It wasn't just her but her whole squad and the soul cannons that were mounted on the wall.

'Wrath of the Stars.'

Starlight began to instantly appear around the arrows before surging around them and creating an ethereal coating. Like a shower of light, the arrows and cannon fire rain down on the Mortuus creatures in the back.

But if that wasn't enough, some of the arrows erupted in an icy explosion that enveloped and froze some of them. They began producing myriads of the explosion of ice and starlight that began to cause havoc in the emerald army.

Yet Xu Xiaoyan wasn't done as all her rings appeared behind her, giving off a gentle light while her body began glowing.

After a few seconds, a vicious light erupted from her, overflowing around the area!

Countless numbers of stars had begun appearing all around Xu Xiaoyan before they began to swirl around her. Then they began turning into spheres that started to resonate with each other and became eighty-eight spheres that began to grow in size.

In the next few seconds, eight-spheres were swirling above Xu Xiaoyan head, all reaching the size of a hundred meters.

When Xu Xiaoyan opened her eyes, they shined with a terrifying brilliant light.

'Uranus Constellation.'

A flowing river of stars began descending from the sky as Xu Xiaoyan brought down her hand causing the eighty-eight spheres to shift. They formed a grand expanse of light that moved towards the Mortuus Army in front.

In the next moment, they crashed into the army before exploding out and spreading out like a surging tidal wave. A continuous wave of starlight began moving through the army, setting off a series of mini-explosion inside from the star lights.

An expanse of light specks erupted towards the fierce storm that was still bombarding Tang Wulin like a surging tidal wave.

While this happened, the soul cannons and long-range attacks continued. Leading to Alvarez Empire's advantage for the moment.

"Sir! they were able to-"

"I noticed..."

The Emerald Emperor replied to the Emerald Knight that came rushing towards it. The Knight trembled while moving down to a kneeling position, waiting for the Emerald Emperor's next words but it didn't say anything.

The Emerald Emperor was aware of the raging battle that was happening in Star Luo, in which they had the advantage. It's because of this that it didn't want to do anything drastic for now, even with their numbers going down here.

As they can easily refill their ranks backup from those Soul Masters who had died in Star Luo. From the last time it checked, they had already turned over ten thousand of them into Mortuus Creatures.

Still, it disliked being in such a passive situation.

"Reinforce our numbers here, also send word for our advisors to come... We should make another plan, just in case."

"Yes, Emperor!"

As the Emerald Knight rushed away, the Emerald Emperor looked at the empire before it, getting lost in thought.

#

In an unknown location, a rift began appearing.

It was swirling and spinning with three figures appearing out of it, one being Xie Xie, Di Tian, and the Dark Dragon King.

"This should be good."

The Dark Dragon King muttered while looking around and spreading out its spiritual sense, feeling the dark and space elements here.

Were the most potent compared to other areas they visited before.

"This is one of the lost continents... Alright, I'm off to take the others to the next location."

"Good."

The Dark Dragon King nodded its head as it saw the rift beginning to close before it turned to Di Tian who was also looking around.

"My Son, are you ready? This will require your full attention and effort... Any mistake will mean your death."

"Of course father! Being able to help you and join in this formation is an honor."

Di Tian said with an eager nod causing the Dark Dragon King to stare at him deeply for a bit before chuckling.

"You have been doing a good job of taking care of the Soul-Beast... I am proud of you..."

"Think nothing of it father, it's simply my... Our duty until the lord regains her prominence."

"Indeed... Gu Yuena represents the former Dragon God..."

"Father, do you not want the old-"

"It's not that. I miss father just as anyone but he will never be able to return, as it would require Gu Yuena to absorb our present father."

"..."

"The old Dragon God knew about this, how could it not with its ability? So it told us to forget him and look for the future, which is Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin."

The Dark Dragon King said, causing Di Tian to furrowed his brows as he began realizing what his father was implying.

The Old Dragon God may never return to this era.

"So will Tang Wulin become the new Dragon God?"

"Hmm. I am doubtful, as I can tell his path will be difficult to tread with the Dragon God position... Well, either way, I'm sure the Dragon God will arise again."

"Whether it be in this Era or the next."

"Father..."

"At any rate, let's get ready. I'm sure the lord is pondering what is taking so long."

Di Tian nodded his head at his father as his body began to glow with the Dark Dragon King following behind.

In the next moment, their aura began spreading out, forming a continuous line all around. Instantly in the next moment, a series of lines began spreading all around them.
