Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 349 The Power of the Dragon Emperor
……

Finally, when the energy was compressed to its limit, he pushed forward with both hands!
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a strange beam of light, extremely condensed and only as thick as an arm, silently shooting down into the deep sea below!
The outer layer of the pillar of light was high-pressure seawater that spun at high speed, appearing as dark as an abyss, seemingly capable of swallowing even light! The middle layer consisted of countless extremely fine ice crystal spikes that shimmered with an absolute zero chill, spinning at high speed and possessing the property of tearing everything apart! And at the very core of the pillar of light was a wisp of dragon-shaped flame that had been condensed to the extreme, appearing as dark gold, radiating a terrifyingly high temperature capable of incinerating everything!
Three distinct and even conflicting extreme attributes—abyssal water, extreme ice, and dragon emperor fire—are now perfectly fused together in an unbelievable way, forming a destructive energy shock that combines extreme penetration, extreme freezing, and extreme burning!
Dragon Emperor Dominates the Seas!
The beam of light disappeared silently into the sea without stirring up a single wave.

However, the next moment——

Rumble, rumble—!!! ...
A terrifying, muffled roar, seemingly emanating from the depths of the earth, came from the seabed! The entire sea surface churned and trembled violently as if a massive earthquake had struck!
Then, to everyone's horrified surprise, the sea surface below, with a diameter of over ten kilometers, suddenly bulged upwards! And then exploded with a deafening roar!

An indescribable crater appeared on the sea surface, its bottom unseen, directly exposing the dark seabed below! The seawater at the edge of the crater was blocked as if by an invisible wall, unable to flow back, forming a ring of water thousands of meters high!
In the center of that giant crater, a hole more than 100 meters in diameter leads straight to the dark deep sea. The seawater at the edge of the hole is instantly vaporized and then instantly frozen, presenting a strange crystalline shape!
This attack, incredibly, briefly... pierced through the ocean at a depth of 10,000 meters!
A terrifying shockwave, carrying a destructive energy mixture of high pressure, extreme cold, and intense heat, spread wildly in all directions! Wherever it passed, seawater evaporated, froze, and shattered, creating a death zone!
Poseidon's expression changed drastically. The Scepter of the Sea God instantly appeared in her hand, and the dazzling light of the Sea God erupted, forming a huge golden light shield that enveloped her, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, and the Snow Empress and others in the distance!

boom--! ! !
The devastating energy slammed into the golden light barrier, creating a deafening roar! The barrier shook violently, and Poseidon groaned as his divine power surged wildly around him, barely managing to stabilize it!

A storm raged within her! This was merely the aftershock! And even the aftershock required her to draw upon the full power of the Sea God to withstand it?! What a terrifying sight it must have been at the point of direct impact!
After a good dozen or so breaths, the terrifying destructive energy gradually subsided. The ring of water collapsed with a roar, and seawater rushed back into the huge cavity, creating a deafening roar and towering waves!

On the sea, only a huge whirlpool remained, unable to calm down for a long time, and a chilling aura of destruction lingered in the air.

A dead silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the apocalyptic scene before them, speechless for a long time.

The little white creature's enormous body trembled uneasily in the sea, its golden eyes filled with fear.

The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos were deathly pale, their backs soaked with cold sweat. They couldn't imagine the catastrophic consequences if this attack had landed on Seagod Island!

Poseidon slowly put away the scepter of the sea god, her azure eyes looking with a complex expression at the slightly tired but still calm figure in black ahead.

She finally understood that Xuanming's words were not an exaggeration at all.

If this Dragon Emperor's Sea Breaker were to hit her head-on, even with the help of the Sea God Temple's power, she would absolutely not be able to withstand it!

This isn't just comparable to god-level, this is god-level!
The realm of the gods. Inside a magnificent temple.

The mirror of light, formed from pure divine power, clearly reflected the earth-shattering scene in the lower realm—the Dragon Emperor's Sea-Shattering Blade pierced through the deep sea, creating a terrifying moment of vacuum.

In the realm of the gods, within a magnificent temple.

Within the light mirror, the destructive strike that briefly pierced through the ten-thousand-meter-deep sea, creating a terrifying scene like the end of the world, and the resulting monstrous aftershocks, were clearly presented to the god-kings.

A brief, deathly silence fell over the entire temple.

Even these supreme deities, who were accustomed to miracles and wielded the laws of nature, couldn't help but show a hint of undisguised surprise in their eyes at this moment.

The god of evil stopped stroking his chin, a glint of light flashing in his crimson eyes, and slowly exhaled: "...Good lad! That attack...is interesting!"

He turned to the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life beside him: "What do you think?"

The God of Destruction's crimson eyes gleamed, his voice low and tinged with solemnity: "The energy level... has reached the true threshold of godhood. Its core penetrating power and destructive force are enough to pose a fatal threat to a divine body. Priests and third-level gods, without special defensive measures, will die upon contact. Second-level gods, if they take it head-on, will either die or be crippled."

The Goddess of Life's gentle eyes also held a hint of surprise. She nodded slightly: "What's even more remarkable is that he has fused and compressed three completely different, even conflicting, extreme attributes—abyssal water, extreme ice, and dragon emperor fire—in a near-perfect way. This is not merely an addition of power, but also touches upon the fusion and control at the level of laws. Its difficulty far exceeds imagination."

The Asura God's icy gaze was fixed on Xuan Ming's slightly weary yet still calm figure in the mirror of light, his voice devoid of any emotion: "This move already possesses the power to slay a god."

These few words represent the highest praise for the enforcers of the divine realm!
This strike, Dragon Emperor's Overlord of the Sea, is no longer a power of the mortal realm, but a god-slaying technique truly capable of slaughtering gods!

The God of Evil looked at the Dragon Emperor aura flowing around Xuanming and thought, "It seems that those two old guys, Ice and Fire, did more than just give away some soul rings and soul bones in their sacrifice back then..."

"..." The God of Evil suddenly stood up from his throne, a look of disbelief flashing in his scarlet eyes.

"No! Those two old guys, Ice and Fire... their sacrifice wasn't just about increasing his power!"

"Do you still remember what happened back then? What was the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena doing when the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were sacrificing themselves?"

The God of Destruction's crimson eyes suddenly narrowed: "She's activating... the Heart of the Dragon God with all her might!"

The Heart of the Dragon God is the primordial core left behind after the Dragon God's fall. It possesses the power to reshape the bloodline of the dragon race and even rewrite the fate of the dragon race to a certain extent! Gu Yuena's mind was highly focused at the time, which was by no means simply to assist in the sacrifice process!

"Before the Dragon God fell, he set up a heavenly tribulation to restrict the Soul Beast race. Those who wish to become gods will inevitably suffer divine punishment, facing a nine-out-of-ten chance of death," said the Evil God.

"But he's different! He's essentially human, but through the sacrifice of the Ice and Fire Dragon King and the baptism of the Dragon God's Heart, he obtained the most superior dragon bloodline and origin! He bypassed the bloodline restrictions set by the Dragon God!"

The Goddess of Life instantly understood, covering her mouth in surprise, "So... the restrictions of the mortal realm's laws on soul beasts becoming gods have no effect on him? Because the laws recognize him as still human?"

"Ineffective!" The God of Evil exclaimed with a hint of amazement. "Look at the aura of the Dragon God's essence contained in his attack just now! With the help of the Dragon God's Heart, the essence of his dragon bloodline has probably reached the divine level! The barrier to godhood in the mortal realm is nothing to him..."

The Asura God's icy voice followed, revealing the most crucial fact: "...It's a mere formality."

"..."

The air fell silent instantly, and even Poseidon, who was not very familiar with the situation, was stunned.

A new Dragon King who is not subject to the restrictions of heavenly tribulations, whose bloodline essence has reached the god level, and who possesses unlimited growth potential... his threat and value can no longer be measured by common sense!
The Asura God stood up. "It seems this trial is starting to get out of control."

"Wait a minute, you're not planning to make your move right now, are you?" the evil god asked.

"Shouldn't it be?" the Asura God countered.

Xuanming's progress has exceeded their expectations!
The power of a god-level dragon god bloodline!
The assessment restrictions they originally set are no longer meaningful to Xuanming!
This test could get out of control at any moment!

"I don't object to your intervention, but there's a problem I hope you'll consider first," the God of Evil said quietly.

“He knows we’re watching him, especially you. Those two old guys, Ice and Fire, must have told him about the dangers involved, but he’s choosing to openly unleash this power now…”

Why do you think that is?

"Could it be that he's lost his mind and wants to commit suicide?"

Xuanming couldn't possibly be unaware that the Dragon Clan represented turmoil and a threat to the God Realm!
Yet he still took Gu Yuena to Seagod Island. The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King did not stop him, and even sacrificed themselves not long ago. Gu Yuena also took out the Dragon God's Heart, the last treasure of the Dragon Clan.

What concept?
The dragons have nowhere left to retreat!
In this situation, Xuanming didn't hide his power or wait for an opportunity; instead, he openly used it. What did he mean by that?
“He’s putting on a show of defiance,” the Asura God said coldly.

"It's probably not just a demonstration," the evil god murmured.

"I suspect... he's no longer afraid of us."

The words of the God of Evil resounded like thunder in the magnificent temple, causing subtle changes in the expressions of the other god-kings.

Not afraid?
A mortal who has not yet officially become a god is not afraid of a god-king who holds the order of the divine realm and can decide the life and death of beings in the lower realm with a thought.
How absurd that sounds!
However, considering Xuanming's past near-mad actions, and his current undisguised display of the Dragon God's power, which is enough to shake the very foundation of the God Realm...
