Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 317 Raiden Mei, the Chuunibyou

With the Titan Giant Ape's incomparably powerful soul beast physique and enormous size, such injuries, while not fatal, were enough to render it incapable of fighting for a short time. Every breath it took would aggravate the wounds eroded by the decomposition power, bringing excruciating pain that felt like its soul was being torn apart.

"Er Ming!!!"

On the other side, Niu Tian, ​​who was fiercely fighting with Raiden Mei, saw this scene and his face instantly turned ashen, his eyes bursting with raging anger and anxiety.

He held nothing back, and with a roar that shook the heavens and earth, like a dragon's cry or a bull's moo, his body suddenly swelled and deformed.

Amidst a burst of brilliant azure light, a divine dragon, hundreds of meters long, with prominent bull horns on its head and its entire body covered in azure dragon scales, appeared, winding and coiling among the clouds.

The enormous dragon's body appeared and disappeared, each scale gleaming with a cold yet powerful luster under the lightning. Countless azure lightning bolts of annihilation leaped and converged wildly in the clouds around it like subjects, emanating an aura of destruction that made heaven and earth tremble.

"Azure Nirvana Divine Thunder!"

A cold and majestic dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens.

In an instant, the overwhelming blue lightning was no longer scattered flashes, but transformed into a true downpour.

Countless bolts of dark blue lightning, as thick as buckets and containing the power to annihilate everything, poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens, indiscriminately covering and bombarding Lu Jingming and Raiden Mei.

"Toying with lightning in front of me and Mei?"

Lu Jingming's lips curled into a mocking, playful smile, his eyes seeming to be watching a clumsy performance.

Without any verbal communication, the Thunder Mark on his hand instantly blazed brightly, and the supreme authority belonging to the Thunder God was quietly revealed in this world.

The azure annihilation divine lightning, which was roaring and howling as it descended from the sky and was powerful enough to annihilate everything, seemed to have encountered a true king. It was forcibly choked by an invisible and absolute force.

Like docile sheep, they obediently turned away, defying the will of the caster, and like rivers flowing into the sea, they all converged into Lu Jingming's slightly raised palm, finally compressing and condensing into a violently pulsating sphere of azure lightning containing destructive energy, emitting a heart-palpitating buzz.

He didn't even glance at the ball of light, but casually tossed it like trash toward the Titan Ape struggling to get up in the deep pit below.

"boom--!!!"

The ball of lightning exploded the instant it made contact with the Titan's body.

The raging, dark blue lightning, like a greedy beast, instantly engulfed the Titan Ape's massive body.

A more piercing and painful roar erupted from the center of the lightning, sending chills down one's spine.

This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

At the same time, Raiden Mei on the other side slowly raised the katana in her hand.

Although she has lost most of her Herrscher powers at this moment, as a Herrscher of Lightning who once wielded the power of lightning and caused the Honkai, her understanding and control of the essence of lightning is far beyond what any soul beast in this world can match.

She simply raised her left hand quietly, her slender fingers slightly spread, and the blue lightning that was still spreading in the air and out of control seemed to be guided, gently and surging together on the blade of her katana.

The jet-black blade, which was originally crackling with purple lightning, was instantly covered with a deep and dangerous cyan-blue luster, and the power of lightning was compressed to the extreme.

"Gale—submit to me!"

Mei's cool voice carried a long-lost, seemingly instinctive, childlike arrogance and authority as she swung her katana down fiercely.

Tsk-!
A massive lightning blade, hundreds of meters long and composed entirely of highly condensed azure annihilation divine lightning, tore through space, cleaved through the clouds, and struck the azure dragon's massive, winding body with unparalleled precision, like a blade of divine punishment.

"Pfft!"

The hard dragon scales were easily cut open as if they were made of paper, and blue dragon blood gushed out like a waterfall.

A deep, bone-revealing knife wound appeared on the dragon's body, and scalding dragon blood dripped onto the ground, scorching the scorched earth and creating small, smoking pits.

Kill people and destroy their hearts!!!
Lu Jingming and Raiden Mei simultaneously used each other's methods against each other, using the strongest lightning released by Niu Tian himself to severely injure his brother and himself respectively.

"Roar--!!!"

The Azure Dragon let out a deafening roar of pain, and a hint of fear and disbelief finally flashed in its enormous eyes.

His prized divine lightning, capable of annihilating all things, was manipulated like a toy by the opponent, and instead severely injured him.

He dared not use any more lightning power, completely abandoning ranged energy attacks, and instead unleashed the most powerful primal physical strength of a soul beast—the dragon tail, as huge as a mountain, swung violently, carrying a terrifying shriek that tore through the air, like a giant steel whip containing immense power, stirring up the wind and clouds, and fiercely lashing towards the tiny Raiden Mei.

He was determined to tear this despicable human to shreds.

However, compared to Raiden Mei, who transforms her body into electricity and controls lightning, the mountain-sized Ushi no Ten appears somewhat bloated and sluggish. After all, the most core characteristic of lightning, besides its destructive attack power, is its unparalleled speed, surpassing all other elements.

“Boom!”

Lightning struck again.

Mei's figure instantly transformed into an incredibly agile pale blue bolt of lightning. No longer directly confronting the attack, she moved with almost precognitive precision and elegance, nimbly flashing and weaving through the trajectory of the massive dragon tail attack that swept across the battlefield.

Each tiny displacement was precisely by the millimeter, avoiding the terrifying physical impact that could shatter mountains.

Each time the dragon's tail lashed out, it only smashed the earth, creating deep, bottomless ravines and stirring up clouds of flying sand and stones.

Amidst the rubble and dust, Raiden Mei's figure had already appeared a hundred meters away, her katana pointing diagonally at the ground, her posture so composed that it seemed she wasn't engaged in a life-or-death struggle, but rather strolling leisurely in her own courtyard.

Lu Jingming glanced at Mei's effortless, even theatrical, dodging movements from afar, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and amused.

Unexpectedly, Raiden Mei, who has shed her girlish naiveté and become mature and reliable, still retains some of the coolness and theatricality left over from her "chuunibyou" (adolescent delusions of grandeur) period.

After all, the young Thunder Queen was a ruthless person who could utter "chuunibyou lines" without batting an eye.

But on second thought, isn't this occasional quirk that contrasts with her usual calm and reliable image precisely what makes Raiden Mei so endearing?

Cute, isn't it?
However, in that instant when his mind relaxed slightly—

"Boom!!!"

An unimaginable, sudden, terrifying gravity, like countless invisible mountains, crashed down on his body.

This force was so domineering and so sudden that it pressed him firmly to the ground.

Caught off guard, Lu Jingming was pulled off balance by this terrifying force and plummeted to the ground like a meteor.

"boom--!!!!!"

A loud bang, more muffled than ever before, erupted as his body slammed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust tens of meters high.

Not only him, but the air within a radius of hundreds of meters from his point of impact hummed under the sudden pressure of gravity, and the earth groaned in pain as if struck by an invisible hammer, instantly collapsing to form a huge crater, with countless spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly in all directions at an alarming speed.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the figure of Lu Jingming, kneeling at the bottom of the pit, supporting his body with the Black Abyss White Flower and resisting the terrifying gravity, was vaguely revealed.

Lu Jingming slowly raised his head from the deep crater he had created, rubble and dust sliding down his hair. His cold gaze locked onto the large, disheveled figure not far away.

The Titan Ape was charred black all over. Its once needle-hard fur was now curled and hardened by Niu Tian's Azure Annihilation Divine Lightning, emitting a foul burnt smell. Clearly, the attack Lu Jingming had just given him had taken a toll on him.

However, those beastly eyes, like giant lanterns, did not reveal any fear. Instead, they burned with an even more frenzied and violent rage, staring intently at Lu Jingming.

Without a doubt, the terrifying gravity that suddenly descended and violently pulled Lu Jingming down from the sky was the angry counterattack of this wounded beast.

"Tsk, a gravity field... This is really troublesome."

Lu Jingming curled his lips, his tone carrying a hint of impatience. The next moment, his aura suddenly changed.

An invisible yet clearly perceptible gray halo, representing death and end, spread out from his kneeling body, like a pebble thrown into a still lake, silently yet swiftly.

Wherever the gray light passed, the scene became eerie and terrifying—the few clumps of lush green grass that had been growing tenaciously nearby withered, turned yellow, and eventually lost all color, turning into grayish-white dust at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The scattered, hard rocks seemed to have endured thousands of years of wind and frost, their surfaces quickly becoming rough and grayish-white before disintegrating into gravel.

Even the fine dust floating in the air seemed to have lost its vitality, becoming dull and lifeless... as if some force had forcibly stripped the entire world of all its vitality and color, leaving only the most primitive, monotonous, and despairing deathly gray.

This is precisely the power that Lu Jingming wields, originating from the Black Abyss White Flower—the Withering Domain.

The Titan Ape's violent and domineering gravity field seemed to encounter its nemesis the moment it came into contact with this gray halo.

The omnipresent, mountain-like pressure was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, quickly being broken down, melted, and annihilated.

The terrifying gravity that had been pressing down on Lu Jingming vanished without a trace.
