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

Chapter 326 The Great Monarch of Annihilation, Illusory and Vague

Any genius who attempts to cross that boundary and explore the mysteries beyond the "known" will ultimately face the merciless blade of that Silent Lord.

That person is a terrifying existence who specializes in hunting down geniuses who have crossed boundaries. Countless members of the Genius Club have died at her hands. She is the sharpest and coldest blade in the hands of the Bo Shi Zun, protecting that despair-inducing omniscience.

Although the Black Tower bears some responsibility for the current chaotic situation, Lu Jingming is also absolutely to blame.

It's all because he never intended to limit his memory bank, resulting in all sorts of monsters and demons being summoned by the Holy Grail and popping up everywhere.

Moreover, as the envoy of wisdom, Black Tower has always believed in the highest principle that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and his favorite thing is to gather people into teams to carry out righteous gang attacks and efficient group attacks.

This leaves her, the esteemed Commander, to face alone the combined attack of two Commander Memories that threaten to destroy her destiny.
That would be far too undignified for her, completely inconsistent with her noble status and her aversion to trouble.

Fortunately, this time she didn't need to personally deal with that mess.

With Fei Xiao and Jing Yuan, two real hunting envoys, in Mingdu, there's also Jing Liu, a sword master with divine swordsmanship and decisive killing ability. Even if Xing Xiao and Huan Long really join forces, they probably won't gain much advantage, since the hunting envoys are not to be underestimated.

"However, on the other hand, Huanlong has been hiding so well that she held back even when Xingxiao made such a big commotion. She must have something big on her mind and some other scheme."

Black Tower stroked his smooth chin, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"Given her wicked nature of manipulating people's hearts and controlling fate, Xu Tianran is probably just a pawn she casually placed, or perhaps just a target to draw attention to. Maybe she's hiding in the shadows, plotting something... more interesting, and more dangerous..."

Chang Li slowly folded the exquisite parasol, a hint of worry in her gentle eyes, and said softly, "No matter what that Great Lord of Annihilation is plotting in the dark, the waters of Douluo Continent will likely be stirred up even more and deeper after this incident."

March 7th nodded vigorously, her little face filled with lingering fear.

The arrival of two Annihilation Lords, even if they are merely memory entities with limited power, is enough to turn the entire continent upside down and cause chaos.

"Then... Lord Black Tower, Sister Robin... is there any hope for her, Shangguan Wei'er?"

Ye Guyi's voice was filled with undisguised urgency. Although she was also extremely shocked by the news that the one who had attacked was another Absolute Lord, what mattered most to her at this moment was whether Shangguan Weier, who was lying on the ground and whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, could be saved.

The cause and effect flashed through her mind.

Originally, Shangguan Weier was taken away by Dr. Möbius, who had an obsessive interest in the mysteries of life, to study her in an attempt to find a way to suppress or even reverse the destructive erosion.

However, the antimatter legion suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Mingdu. In the chaos, Mebius obviously found something more interesting and worthwhile to do than the sample in her hands, so he simply and decisively handed Shangguan Weier, whose situation was deteriorating, back to her.

Unfortunately, Mingdu was completely enveloped by the killing and destructive aura of the antimatter legion at this moment.

The dense destructive energy permeated the entire city like a poisonous fog. Stimulated by this same power, the fragile consciousness within Shangguan Weier's body, which she had forcibly sealed at great cost but which had already been tainted by the destructive power, began to stir and surge wildly, almost breaking through the precarious confinement.

Left with no other choice, Ye Guyi could only bring Shangguan Weier, whose mental and physical condition was deteriorating rapidly and who was on the verge of collapse, back here through the spatial gate opened by Haiyuan City, placing all her hopes on the robin and hoping that it could bring a glimmer of hope.

After all, Lu Jingming had mentioned before that if Xing Xiao made a move, the Robin might be able to find a way to break the spell by relying on the power characteristics of the same origin.

But now, the culprit is not Xingxiao at all, but another, more bizarre, and more adept at mental erosion, the Annihilation Lord.

This news was like a bucket of ice water poured over Ye Guyi's head, instantly chilling her to the bone.

She could only cast her last hopeful gaze toward the most knowledgeable Black Tower and the most powerful Robin present, her eyes filled with pleading.

"Feel sorry……"

The robin gently shook its head, its beautiful face showing obvious apology and helplessness.

"With my current abilities, I can only temporarily suppress the raging destructive consciousness within her and delay the time of her complete descent... But to fundamentally cure her and completely purify that destructive mark, I'm afraid..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already self-evident.

The power of the Great Lord of Annihilation was already domineering and unparalleled, not to mention that Huanlong's strength and rank were far above hers.

That deep-seated mark of destruction, like the most stubborn maggot clinging to the bone, had long been inextricably intertwined with Shangguan Weier's soul essence and physical functions, inseparable from her.

If it were traces left by Xingxiao, she might be able to think of a way based on the slight connection and characteristics of their shared destiny, but she felt utterly helpless in the face of Huanlong's pure and evil destructive spiritual power.

"She won't die for now." Black Tower glanced at Shangguan Wei'er, whose breath was weak but had stabilized on the ground, and said this in a calm tone before his figure began to fade away amidst subtle spatial fluctuations.

"Let this little bird, which is good at mediating, help her strengthen the seal and keep her alive. We'll figure out a solution when Lu Jingming, that little guy who always manages to come up with some surprises, comes back."

If someone of the level of Huanlong personally marks and plants a destructive mark on a creature, and if it is discovered early enough before the mark is fully entrenched, the Black Tower might still have a chance to try to save it.

However, Shangguan Weier had been tainted by and suppressed this destructive power for far too long. So long that the power had already permeated and eroded every inch of her flesh and blood, every thread of her spirit, reaching deep into her bones and becoming a part of her existence.

In this situation, even the well-informed Black Tower is not entirely confident that it can perfectly peel away the material without damaging its core.

After all, Huanlong was at the same level as her, and the insidious methods he left behind were far more troublesome than she had imagined.

Moreover, Huanlong was born from Suiyang and is a pure spiritual energy body. She is a master who manipulates souls and spiritual power. The destructive mark she left behind is not so easy to break and remove.

Moreover, the delicate manipulation and treatment of the soul and spirit is not the core area of ​​expertise of Black Tower.

If it were Nguyen Mai, who is obsessed with creating life, she might have some ingenious ideas, but as for her Black Tower... we can only give the most realistic and rational judgment.

The fact that she didn't directly say "It's hopeless, prepare for the worst" was already the greatest consideration she could offer, out of respect for Ye Guyi's anxious appearance and Lu Jingming's sake.

"Don't worry, things haven't gotten to the worst yet."

The robin reached out and gently patted Ye Guyi's shoulder, which was trembling slightly from tension. Her tone was as gentle as the warm spring sun, yet it contained a unique power that could directly soothe the soul and calm the heart.

“Ah Ming… always manages to create miracles. Since he said he would find a way, let’s trust him. He will definitely find a way.”

As she spoke, the harmonious energy emanating from her body became increasingly gentle and pure. It was no longer an attempt to forcibly purify, but rather like a warm and resilient trickle, carefully and layer by layer, wrapping around and reinforcing the spiritual seal within Shangguan Weier's body that was on the verge of complete collapse.

A soft light flowed quietly between the two, temporarily suppressing the restless, retaliatory aura of destruction. Shangguan Weier's pained brows seemed to relax a little.

Ye Guyi carefully supported the unconscious Shangguan Weier. Under the double comfort of the robin's words and strength, which carried the power of harmony, she finally managed to suppress the extreme anxiety in her heart.

Now, she really has no better options and can only place her last hope on Lu Jingming, hoping that his return will bring a turning point.

Otherwise... perhaps we can only lament that Shangguan Wei'er's fate was sealed.

"Huanlong? It's her!"

Lu Jingming, who was far away on the Mingdu battlefield, received the message from the robin almost immediately through a special communication method.

He immediately raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of surprise, and his gaze unconsciously turned to the core area of ​​the energy storm in the Mingdu Imperial Palace.

That was the most intense and chaotic area of ​​the entire city, without exception—Galna's dazzling brilliance, like the sun descending, clashed and intertwined wildly with the thousand-meter-long shadow of the dark holy dragon that Long Xiaoyao had transformed into.

The Death Tower behind Ye Xishui, shrouded in vengeful spirits, exuded a chilling aura of death that devoured life.

The dark green giant, hundreds of meters tall and formed from the Poison Immortal, carries a terrifying poison capable of corroding space with every punch it throws.

Kong Deming's silver moon divine light shield flickered violently and shone unpredictably under the continuous energy impact...

Various powerful forces, capable of easily destroying a city, collided and annihilated wildly here. The entire magnificent palace had long since been turned into a barren, scorched ruin under the ravages of such might.

However, Huanlong, the follower of the Great Lord of Annihilation and Xu Tianran, never showed any trace of himself in this chaotic battle.

Lu Jingming's thoughts raced like the fastest processor.

As fellow Lords of Annihilation under Nanuk, Xingxiao had no reason not to know about Huanlong's existence, and it was even highly likely that he had known about it from the very beginning.

This perfectly explains why Xingxiao was so quick to cooperate with Xu Tianran.

It is likely that from the very beginning, these two divine messengers representing destruction had already reached some kind of tacit understanding or agreement in secret.
