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

Chapter 342 Ah Yin and the Golden Tree
"Little San!"

In the safe zone at the edge of the terrifying battlefield between the two, a beautiful young woman with long, smooth, sea-blue hair and clear, azure eyes looked at the figure of the Sea God Tang San with great concern.

She wore a magnificent and elegant blue and gold long dress, with delicate gold ribbons curling around the hem. A faint, calming fragrance naturally wafted in the air, highlighting her otherworldly beauty.

It was Ah Yin's divine consciousness clone, the mother of Tang San, the Sea God.

Originally, she was following her son Tang San's careful arrangement to descend to Douluo Continent with this wisp of divine consciousness, slowly and steadily refining the original power of the Golden Tree, intending to obtain the status of the life core of Douluo Star, and use this as a basis to advance to a first-level god.

Due to the limitations of the laws of the divine realm, a deity cannot directly intervene in the lower realm with her physical body, so she can only separate a wisp of her divine consciousness to do this.

However, precisely because it was only a divine consciousness avatar, her refining of the Golden Tree, a colossal entity whose origin level far exceeded that of a second-level deity, was extremely slow.

She was able to do this largely because of the tradition of Shrek Academy over the past ten thousand years, in which successive Sea God Pavilion Masters voluntarily merged their life, soul power, and even the essence of their souls into the Golden Tree at the end of their lives.

It was by using this human power, which had long been integrated with the Golden Tree, as a catalyst and bridge, that she was able to gradually devour and refine the core of this plane.

According to Tang San's original plan, when the time is right, her true form will also find an opportunity to descend to Douluo Continent, and finally completely refine the Golden Tree, replacing it as the core of the Douluo Star plane.

Her husband, Tang San's father Tang Hao, will also take this opportunity to refine the plane will of Douluo Continent and become the master of the Douluo plane.

The couple will be promoted to a higher level of deity through this event.

To help his parents rise in rank, Tang San, the Sea God, spared no effort and devised far-reaching plans.

From Tang San's perspective, everything he did was for his family to have a better future and to make his faction stronger.

This is essentially based on considerations of family ties and factional interests, and it is difficult to judge it simply by worldly standards of good and evil.

Ultimately, many things in the universe are simply a matter of different perspectives, and Tang San cannot be simply judged as an absolute villain because of this.

Ah Yin's divine consciousness clone radiated a strong blue-gold light, and countless thick blue-silver vines burst forth, growing wildly and intertwining to form a solid barrier, struggling to withstand the destructive energy aftershocks generated by the clash between the two terrifying beings in front of it.

Her combat power is not strong, but she is, after all, a divine consciousness avatar of a god. With all her might, she can protect herself for the time being.

Ah Yin's beautiful face was filled with anxiety and worry, her gaze fixed on her son's fighting figure.

She could clearly feel the immense pressure her son's divine consciousness clone was under at that moment, as the strange enemy's power was extremely restraining and filled with malicious erosion of the Golden Tree's life energy.

But she cannot interfere, and she cannot even be too distracted.

She had to concentrate all her attention to maintain the refining process of the Golden Tree's essence.

This is the most crucial part of the entire plan, and it is the supreme opportunity that the mistress fought against by defying the laws of the divine realm to secure for her.

If the refining process is interrupted, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but it may also trigger a violent backlash from the Golden Tree's instinctive will, with unimaginable consequences.

"Be careful of mistresses..."

Ah Yin prayed silently in her heart, her clear, blue crystal-like eyes filled with a deep maternal fear and unwavering determination.

She could feel the pressure her son was under; the strange enemy's power was filled with absolute malice towards life.

Tang San clearly sensed the emotions his mother was conveying, and his gaze became even sharper.

The trident of Poseidon in his hand danced like a raging dragon overturning the sea, and the moves of the Golden Thirteen Halberds were effortless in his hands, reaching a state of perfection.

He drew upon the vast ocean of life with all his might. The immense liquid vitality sometimes transformed into an indestructible azure barrier, and at other times unleashed a furious onslaught of raging waves, constantly eroding and resisting the seemingly endless torrent of destruction emanating from the illusion.

"Trying to ruin Mother's opportunity? No matter who you are or where you come from, it's absolutely impossible."

Tang San's voice, cold and resolute, echoed in this turbulent space.

The sole purpose of his divine consciousness clone was to protect his mother Ah Yin's divine consciousness clone, ensuring that she could focus wholeheartedly on refining the essence of the Golden Tree.

The survival of Shrek City and the attacks by soul beasts were not his primary concerns at the moment.

Of course, over the long years, his secret guidance of the Sea God Pavilion to help Ah Yin refine the Golden Tree was part of the plan.

Without his divine assistance, how could those level 99 Limit Douluos have truly and perfectly integrated their souls and powers into the Golden Tree, allowing it to continue its existence and protect Shrek Academy in another form?

This was essentially a tacit agreement: he granted the successive leaders of the Sea God Pavilion the opportunity to protect Shrek Academy even after their deaths, and in return, they gave up the power of their lifelong cultivation and the essence of their souls after death. All of this would become the resources for Ah Yin to refine the Golden Tree.

After all, they were already nearing the end of their lives. To merge with the Golden Tree would allow them to continue contributing to Shrek Academy and also lend a helping hand to the gods. In their eyes, this might be the greatest honor and the best ending.

When he transplanted the Golden Tree to Shrek Academy, he intended to nourish it with the accumulated fortune and energy of Shrek Academy's thousands of soul masters over the years. The Golden Tree became the foundation of Shrek Academy, helping it rise, while the power and souls of generations of strong individuals from Shrek Academy nourished the Golden Tree and indirectly benefited Ah Yin.

This is a win-win situation, achieving multiple benefits at once. In the eyes of Tang San, the Sea God, it is undoubtedly a win-win situation.

"This sea of ​​life will be your final resting place."

Faced with Huanlong, who intended to ruin his grand plan, Tang San's heart was filled with murderous intent.

Huanlong seemed to sense Tang San's resolute killing intent, and instead let out an even more excited and twisted laugh, unleashing wave after wave of destructive attacks, like an endless raging storm.

"Hehe...hehehe...struggle, resist, for the flower of destruction that blooms in despair is the most moving and poignant."

The ocean of life roared under the will of the gods, and the stars of destruction fell from the palm of the Great Lord of Annihilation.

Two god-level beings from different worlds and systems, but who undoubtedly stand at the pinnacle of their respective power systems, engaged in a life-or-death battle in the most core sacred land of Douluo Star.

The waves surged, light and darkness clashed wildly, and each collision was far more than just a clash of energy; it was a direct and brutal contest of the laws and wills they represented.

The battle between Poseidon Tang San and the Great Lord of Annihilation Huanlong has reached its climax.

Inside the Golden Tree, what should have been a vibrant, sacred, and peaceful ocean of life has now transformed into a destructive purgatory where two diametrically opposed ultimate forces collide and vie for dominance.

The purplish-black flames of annihilation and the azure power of the sea god were like two raging dragons that were sworn to be at odds. Every bite, collision, and annihilation they made unleashed a terrifying hum that made the entire space groan and tremble.

"boom--!"

Huanlong gracefully waved her arm, and thousands of energy beams, formed from purplish-black flames and resembling ferocious withered branches, burst forth once again.

They were no longer simple strikes, but twisted and entangled like evil tentacles with life, instantly weaving into a giant net of destruction that covered the entire space above. From the mesh of the net, jet-black fire rain, enough to corrode the soul and annihilate life, dripped down mercilessly toward the area where Tang San was.

Tang San's expression was calm and composed. The Trident of the Sea God danced in his hands like lightning, transforming into countless dazzling golden afterimages.

Each afterimage struck the energy nodes of the destructive flame network with pinpoint accuracy. The azure power of the sea god, like the most raging deep-sea waves, continuously assaulted and tore apart the constraints of the flame network, emitting a piercing "hissing" burning sound. The dissipated destructive energy evaporated large swaths of life-giving seawater, leaving behind shocking voids.

"interesting!"

Huanlong stood at the center of the destructive tidal wave she had unleashed, a folding fan covered in strange patterns of energy that had somehow materialized in her hand. She gently swayed it, a playful smile on her lips, as if she were watching a wonderful drama that had nothing to do with her.

"Your power system is somewhat similar to that of mortals and even soul beasts in this world, yet it is more... refined? It carries a... um... unpleasant flavor, which is really annoying."

"Demon, you will not succeed."

Tang San's voice came through the deafening roar of energy, carrying an air of authority and awe.

"No matter where you come from or what your purpose is, I will never allow you, such an evil person, to defile the Golden Tree in the slightest."

Having fought this far, Tang San, with his God-King level vision and perception, had already noticed many anomalies.

Huanlong is neither a human nor a soul beast on Douluo Star, nor even any known race within the God Realm system he knows. Its existence is bizarre, more like a pure collection of energy consciousness born for destruction.

Her destructive will, pure to the extreme, seemed to be born to bring about the end and annihilation of all things.

Although it was only a divine consciousness clone at this moment, Tang San instantly judged that the target of the other party was also the core of the Golden Tree.

He asked his mother, Ah Yin, to refine the Golden Tree. Although he had selfish motives and hoped to help his parents improve their divine status, it was also for the purpose of better protecting and managing Douluo Star.

Of course, this is only his one-sided opinion.

The evil aura emanating from this demon is overwhelming. If she succeeds, Douluo Star will face an unimaginable catastrophe, which undoubtedly crosses his bottom line.

What weighed heavily on his mind was that, for some reason, his connection with his divine body was completely severed by an extremely powerful force. The power of this clone diminished with each use, and it could not be replenished in any way.

This battle must be won quickly, and the cost is destined to be enormous.

But for his mother, for Shrek Academy, and for Douluo Continent, he had no choice but to fight to the death.

"What a righteous and awe-inspiring deity who protects all living beings. It is truly... moving."

Huanlong covered her lips and chuckled softly. Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, yet it contained a deep chill that could freeze the soul.

"What a pity. What you see as defilement and destruction is the most beautiful sublimation and art in my eyes. Destruction is the ultimate beauty, and decay is the eternal—let me show you this ultimate art."
