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

Chapter 344 The Defeat of the Sea God
At this moment, all the noise in the world seemed to have been silenced.

All humans and spirit beasts, regardless of their faction or strength, could only gaze in vain at the ancient golden tree that was trembling violently and seemed about to collapse at any moment, like ants looking up at the sky.

Their senses were completely overwhelmed by the two terrifying auras that burst forth from the depths of the tree and collided wildly.

One was a familiar, yet now seemingly crumbling, azure-blue holiness; the other was a strange, cold, deathly purple-black evil.

Every clash and tearing between these two forces causes not only a distortion and hum in space, but also a tremor that strikes deep into the soul.

They were overwhelmed by boundless fear, feeling extremely insignificant in the face of such power, and bewildered about what would happen next.

The overwhelming offensive of the soul beast army had long since come to a complete halt.

Even the raging Bear King and the treacherous Demon King were suppressed in place by the divine battle aura that far exceeded their level of understanding of life. Their huge beast eyes were filled with surprise and instinctive fear.

As for those soul beasts under ten thousand years old that act on instinct, they have long lost all ferocity. They lie prostrate on the ground in dense numbers, trembling, squeezing out desperate and suppressed cries from the depths of their throats.

Inside the Golden Tree, the earth-shattering collision that determined the fate of countless lives finally came to a conclusion.

Tang San's body and spear, which combined all the power and will of this divine consciousness clone and moved forward without hesitation, had indeed reached the limit that this world could bear. Wherever the golden light passed, it cleansed away all evil, as if it could even kill true gods and demons.

However, the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, represents a power that transcends the conventional laws of this world and originates from the end of the universe.

Especially at the last moment, she did not hesitate to damage the essence of the Golden Tree, forcibly transforming the vast life energy into the purest destructive power. This instantaneous outburst elevated her annihilation of all things to a new and despairing level.

The pitch-black energy sphere, seemingly capable of devouring all light, did not produce an ordinary energy explosion upon colliding with the golden light of the sea god. Instead, it exhibited an extremely strange and terrifying characteristic—devouring and annihilation.

It was like a bottomless black hole, greedy to the extreme, frantically tearing and sucking at the sea god's power and life energy contained in the golden light, transforming and absorbing it inch by inch, turning it into part of its own destructive power.

As one thing diminishes while the other gains, the originally dazzling and unstoppable golden light dims and shrinks at a visible speed, and its divinity is rapidly polluted and assimilated.

In the end, under Tang San's gaze, which was filled with disbelief and deep resentment, his all-out attack was completely swallowed and digested by the dark sphere of light.

The Seed of Destruction, now nearly half its original size but more condensed and radiating an ominous glow, continued its relentless advance, striking his already exhausted spiritual body with deadly force.

"puff--!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, only a dull, chilling sound of energy erosion.

Tang San's divine consciousness instantly became transparent and illusory. Countless ferocious purplish-black destructive patterns, like living poisonous thorns, spread wildly and took root on his body, frantically eroding and polluting the core essence of his divine consciousness.

He couldn't even utter a final word or warning before his body disintegrated inch by inch in the absolute silence of the black light, turning into countless scattered, dim golden-blue specks of light, which finally vanished completely into the still boiling and roaring sea of ​​life.

Only the phantom of the trident of Poseidon emitted a resentful hum before slowly dissipating into nothingness.

—Tang San's divine consciousness clone was completely erased, his body and soul annihilated.

"Mistress!!!"

In the distance, Ah Yin, who had been forced back by the aftershocks of the battle, let out a cry of surprise. The stable blue divine light around her body fluctuated violently due to extreme shock, almost dissipating.

She wanted to rush to the place where her son had disappeared, but Huanlong casually waved his hand, and an extremely condensed purplish-black shackle of destruction instantly appeared out of thin air, binding her tightly from head to toe and imprisoning her in place, so that she could no longer make a sound.

She could only watch helplessly as her son's divine consciousness clone was completely annihilated, her crystal-blue eyes filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Her own refining process was abruptly interrupted by the intense emotional shock and the interference of the illusory energy, and she suffered a backlash from the Golden Tree's instinctive will. Her consciousness became extremely dim and weak, and she was on the verge of collapse.

"Hehehe... Hahahaha!" Huanlong stood in the center of the ocean of life, letting out a wild and unrestrained laugh, filled with conquest and satisfaction.

She opened her arms wide, as if to embrace this vast, boundless sea of ​​life that had lost its last protector.

Thanks to Ah Yin's continuous refinement and assimilation over the past ten thousand years, and the voluntary integration of the souls and powers of the successive Sea God Pavilion Masters of Shrek Academy, the possibility of the Golden Tree developing independent intelligence has long been completely suppressed, leaving only the most primitive and purest life instinct.

A plane core that acts solely on instinct, no matter how high its life level or how vast its energy, is less resistant to a powerful being like Huanlong, who is skilled in spiritual erosion and energy conversion. Even Ah Yin, who refined it before, is less resistant.

"What a magnificent and alluring life force... What a perfect foundation this is."

Huanmeng's voice was filled with ecstasy.

"Now, it's mine."

Without further hesitation, a vast and pure destructive intent surged forth, beginning to frantically erode, pollute, and assimilate the core essence of the Golden Tree.

The enormous phantom of the Tree of Destruction floating behind her seemed to have found the perfect fertile ground for its parasitic growth. Countless thick, dark roots plunged deep into the sea of ​​life, like the most greedy vampires, frantically absorbing the almost limitless life energy and transforming it into an even more terrifying force of annihilation.

The purplish-black, decaying patterns spread rapidly within the golden tree from her vantage point, like a plague of death. Wherever they passed, the once dazzling golden green was quickly replaced by a deathly, ashen black. The sacred and warm life force was completely covered and devoured by the cold, despairing will to destroy.

The entire interior of the Golden Tree is rapidly sliding from a sanctuary of life into an abyss of destruction.

Outside, the surviving people on Poseidon Island watched in horror as the soaring golden-blue pillar of light was completely swallowed and replaced by an ominous purplish-black light.

The golden tree that has borne the glory and faith of Shrek Academy for ten thousand years is losing all its luster and vitality at a visible speed.

The lush leaves withered, fell, and turned to ashes in an instant. The thick trunk became shriveled, gray, and covered with cracks. It was as if, in this short moment, it was forced to go through tens of thousands of years and rapidly entered the end of decay and death.

The terrifying, suffocating pressure of destruction surged exponentially, like a tangible mountain, crushing everyone's soul power and leaving only bone-chilling cold and endless despair in their hearts.

"The Sea God... the Sea God's aura... has vanished..."

Yan Shaozhe's face was ashen, and he muttered to himself in a daze. The faith that had sustained him throughout his life seemed to have completely collapsed and shattered at this moment, leaving only emptiness in his eyes.

"It's over... Shrek Academy... its millennia-old foundation... everything is over..."

Old Lin collapsed to the ground, his cloudy tears streaming down his face, his wrinkled face filled with endless grief and despair.

Just as this atmosphere of despair reached its peak—

The golden tree, which had almost completely turned black, suddenly shuddered violently.

An enormous, purplish-black halo, condensed with pure destructive energy, spread silently and swiftly from the Golden Tree, like the flowing skirt of the Goddess of Death.

The target of this destructive halo seems to be no specific one; it represents a pure, indiscriminate end.

The first to be affected were Poseidon Island and all the remaining life on it.

All the members who remained at the Sea God Pavilion, whether they were teachers and staff who were Soul Masters or ordinary people, did not even have time to let out a fully terrified scream. The moment their bodies came into contact with the purplish-black halo, they were like pieces of paper thrown into strong acid, silently decomposing, dissolving, and turning into the finest black dust. Along with their soul imprints, they were completely erased.

“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”

The aura of destruction expanded outward at a seemingly slow but actually irresistible pace.
