Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 480 Zhang Geyang, a Heroic Figure, Appears as the Qilin Douluo!
"The duel begins!"

As the two players stood on the platform, Enci announced the start of the match without hesitation.

Yesterday, their Star Luo Empire lost two games in a row. Jiang Xiu's personal prestige rose rapidly within the Star Luo Empire, but the prestige of their Star Luo Empire declined significantly.

He could even see that if Jiang Xiu could truly crush the Five Gods' Battle, then Jiang Xiu would step on their Star Luo Empire and etch himself into the hearts of every Star Luo citizen, leaving an indelible mark.

"You brat, you want to make a name for yourself by stepping on the entire Star Luo Empire? How can I allow that!"

Enci's gaze was deep as he looked at that tall figure on the field.

Yesterday, their Star Luo Empire didn't field any truly strong fighters; in other words, they weren't in good form. But today is the real test of strength.

"You shall stop here for today!"

Thinking of this, and seeing Zhang Geyang's overflowing "hatred" for Jiang Xiu, Enci suddenly soared into the sky.

"Come forth, Netherflame Beast!"

Zhang Geyang stared fiercely at Jiang Xiu opposite him, and nine soul rings—five black and four red—instantly rose from his body, and in a flash, a colossal figure landed on the arena.

This colossal beast was nearly a hundred meters tall, covered in blue-green fur, with a ferocious head like a lion, a body like a baboon, and claws like a tiger. Its entire body was engulfed in scorching blue flames. This was none other than Zhang Geyang's natal soul beast, the Netherworld Flame Beast!

"He's already deployed his own natal spirit right off the bat; it seems Tower Master Zhang is serious!"

Seeing this, Dai Tianling smiled and said to the ministers beside him.

He was worried that Zhang Geyang, an outsider, would throw the match, but now it seems that Zhang Geyang is the most reliable one in the first few rounds.

Upon seeing this hundred-meter-tall behemoth, many people from Xingluo cheered instantly.

"In the path of the soul, who reigns supreme? Upon seeing me, all paths vanish into nothingness!"

"Today I'll show you what respect and hierarchy truly mean!"

Zhang Geyang looked at Jiang Xiu with an arrogant expression, a disdainful smile, and a mocking gaze.

"Ender Dragon, go!"

Seeing Zhang Geyang's energetic performance, Jiang Xiu naturally couldn't hold back. With a wave of his hand, eight soul rings—six red and two orange-gold—rose up, followed by a loud dragon roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth, accompanied by boundless dragon might.

"Boom!"

A violent tremor resounded, and a dark dragon spread its wings, blotting out the sky, plunging the entire Xingluo Stadium into darkness in an instant.

Upon seeing the dragon's shadow, many people of the Star Luo Empire trembled and clenched their teeth, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

Above the stadium, a colossal dragon, thousands of feet long, coiled, its horns gleaming with an eerie light. Its entire body was covered in black and gold dragon scales, and its purplish-black dragon eyes radiated arrogance. Its massive dragon head looked down at the Netherflame Beast on the ground.

The sheer force of the dragon was enough to make the entire soul-guiding shield shake!
"Is this the Ender Dragon from thousands of years ago?"

Looking at the terrifying Ender Dragon, Enci seemed to have thought of something, but feeling the indomitable will to fight against heaven and earth rising from the Ender Dragon's body, Enci felt something was wrong. When did the Ender Dragon have such an arrogant spirit?
"No! This is the indomitable spirit of a lion-haired golden mastiff!"

The next moment, Enci seemed to realize what was happening, his expression shifted, and he cursed inwardly:
"The Spirit Pagoda has gone mad! They actually injected the bloodline of such a powerful spirit beast into the Ender Dragon!"

He knew that the golden-haired lion-mastiff was an overpowered soul beast that could defeat a Super Douluo even after ten thousand years.

Now, the already overpowered Ender Dragon is combined with the even more overpowered golden-haired lion mastiff...

Enci can't even imagine it anymore.

To make matters worse, this spirit is now in Jiang Xiu's hands!

"Can you even believe this?" Dai Tianling's lips twitched slightly. Although the Netherflame Beast was powerful, it was not even in the same league as the Ender Dragon!
"Should I... should I hit him?"

On the competition stage, the Netherflame Beast glanced at its master and revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.

Last time it fought that King Bartholomew and was almost killed. Now it's the same with the Ender Dragon. It's not even as big as one of the Ender Dragon's claws.

Does it always get beaten up every time it comes out?

"For the sake of the master's plan, I have no choice but to put you through this hardship, Netherflame Beast," Zhang Geyang thought to himself, then his expression changed, and he shouted sharply:
"This tower master has never been inferior to anyone in his life. Netherflame Beast, charge!"

"Roar!" Upon receiving the command, the Netherflame Beast swiftly pounced towards the Ender Dragon, spewing out a thick, scorching blue flame from its gaping maw, its body carrying the intent to burn and annihilate everything as it swooped down through the air.

Seeing this, Dai Tianling was deeply moved and couldn't help but whisper:
"Knowing it's impossible, you still did it, Zhang Tower Master...you bastard..."

Even if Zhang Geyang loses now, he still acknowledges that Zhang Geyang is a remarkable person!
"Pfft!"

With a piercing tearing sound, the terrifying flames of the Netherflame Beast landed on the Ender Dragon, only slightly changing the color of the surrounding hard dragon scales before being extinguished by the ghostly light.

"Since when do insects dare to challenge dragons?!"

The Ender Dragon lowered its head to look at the Netherflame Beast, and its mountain-like claws, wrapped in ghostly light, fiercely slashed down, shattering the surrounding space with hideous cracks, and everything around seemed to fall into endless darkness.

"It's over!" The Netherflame Beast sighed sadly as it looked at the approaching dragon claws. It seemed it would have to be reforged again!

But the next moment, the Netherflame Beast discovered that the dragon claw merely enveloped it, leaving behind what appeared to be serious wounds and terrifying scars on its body.

"Hoohoho!"

As if it understood something, the Netherflame Beast immediately let out a fierce roar, its whole body burning with flames, like a trapped beast about to die in battle. Although trapped, its will remained unwavering!

"Boom! Boom!"

In the audience, the people of Xingluo watched as the blue flames that kept burning within the ferocious dragon claws were suppressed time and time again, and the soaring rage of the Netherworld Flame Beast echoed in their ears, and they couldn't help but be moved.

Zhang Geyang is a remarkable person, and his spirit beast is also quite a character!
They were already trapped, yet they were still resisting!
The Grace above also saw that as the Netherflame Beast struggled, the wounds on its body continued to increase.

Although the Ender Dragon activated its Unyielding Domain, isolating itself from external mental energy, Grace believed his eyes wouldn't lie. In such a critical situation, surely Zhang Geyang and the Netherflame Beast couldn't be putting on an act to deceive them?

Therefore, Zhang Geyang and the Netherflame Beast are truly fighting with everything they have to protect the glory of the empire!

"Look, this is a veteran actor."

The Ender Dragon looked at the Netherflame Beast within its claws, which had instantly become engrossed in its roaring and groaning, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

His lord, Jiang Xiu, had long ago given instructions that they must not actually attack the Netherworld Flame Beast, because the Netherworld Flame Beast was already one of their own.

The Shadow Legion's rule is that its own people must never attack each other.

“Master Zhang, if that’s all there is to it, then you should step down.”

Jiang Xiu raised his blood-red eyes and quietly looked at Zhang Geyang.

"I, the Tower Master, am fighting on behalf of the Empire, bearing the glory of the Empire on my shoulders. How could I possibly step down? I, the Tower Master, will fight to the death and will not retreat!"

Zhang Geyang's expression was stern, and his words were forceful and resolute.

With a wave of his hand, two more souls of the 100,000-year level flew out.

"Devastator, Bursting Wild Gorilla!"

"on!"

As Zhang Geyang roared, two powerful figures instantly rushed out, their nearly 100-meter-tall bodies charging fiercely towards the Ender Dragon, their soul power surging forth.

These two spirits were the most treasured spirits of the Star Luo Empire branch of the Spirit Pagoda. Zhang Geyang brought out both spirits at once to make them look more authentic.

"Anyone who wants a challenge, come at me!"

The Ender Dragon proudly raised its head, and its claws, gleaming with an eerie light, suddenly lunged at the two of them.

"Storm Star Cloud Split!"

The Terminator opened its blood-red maw, its muscles tensed, and its two tiger wings spread out, rising up like a thunderbolt. A violent nebula vortex suddenly formed, churning countless fragments of rock within, and charged fiercely towards the Ender Dragon.

"Crazy Thunder Vajra Fist!"

The Explosive Wild Gorilla slammed its thick fists against its chest, and its arms were instantly crackled with ferocious purple lightning that resembled giant pythons. Its scarlet eyes were filled with killing intent, and its entire body leaped up like a crescent moon, smashing fiercely toward the Ender Dragon's head.

"nothingness!"

The Ender Dragon's purple-gold eyes flashed, and its entire body instantly faded, with an invisible spatial fluctuation sweeping out in an instant.

The next instant, Storm Nebula Rift and Thunderous Vajra Fist struck the Ender Dragon simultaneously.

But to everyone's surprise, the two attacks passed straight through the Ender Dragon's body, and the attacks from the Devastator and the Blast Gorilla missed their targets instantly!
"It really is that Ender Dragon from before, Void... what a powerful Soul Skill!"

His kind, aged, and deep eyes were filled with amazement.

In the world of Soul Masters, there are three life-saving Soul Skills that countless Soul Masters desire: Void, Elementalization, and Invincible Golden Body.

These three soul skills can be considered true life-saving soul skills for those below the god level!

What the world knows most about now is undoubtedly the invincible golden body possessed by Tang San, the Sea God, 20,000 years ago.

However, the Void Body surpasses even the Invincible Golden Body.

"You guys are too weak, you should go down and settle down!"

Just as the attacks from the Devastator and the Bursting Wild Gorilla landed, the Ender Dragon's massive body instantly solidified, its claws, imbued with dark power, slashing horizontally at the two spirits.

To make the performance even more convincing, the Ender Dragon roared, "Dragon Emperor, Another Dimension!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two violent collisions rang out in succession, and two hideous wounds appeared on the bodies of the Extreme Decepticon and the Explosive Wild Gorilla, their entire bodies dimming.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Geyang was stunned for a moment, then filled with resentment, and resolutely called upon the several spirits to continue charging forward.

"I, Zhang Geyang, have never been inferior to anyone in my life!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As Zhang Geyang's spirit was repeatedly repelled, even Enci was somewhat moved.

Zhang Geyang truly did his utmost for their Star Luo Empire!

Ultimately, the three spirits were all forced back into the spirit realm by the Ender Dragon.

"I, the Tower Master, have failed the Empire!"

Zhang Geyang looked at the defeated spirit and said with resentment and bitterness.

At this moment, Enci slowly landed beside Zhang Geyang, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
“Lord Zhang, we have all seen your efforts for the empire.”

"On behalf of the Star Luo Empire, I thank you."

Upon hearing this, a strange and amused look appeared in Zhang Geyang's eyes.

See, he even has to thank us.
