Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

"Rumble--"

As the mountain continued to shake, cracks appeared at the base of the hill, gradually widening until they covered the entire mountain.

"Suppress me? Hmph, you're not worthy!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the sounds of dragon roars and sword cries rose and fell, the mountains exploded, and a sword and a dragon burst out of the mountain and soared into the sky.

The sword transformed into a handsome young man, who stood in mid-air, his body surging with sword intent and accompanied by a resounding sword cry that echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Captain!!" Tang Wulin and Xie Xie jumped and danced excitedly below the stage, repeatedly shouting Chu Ci's name.

"How is this possible? How could he break through such a level of mountain and river suppression?" Enci's face was now somewhat distorted, and his decades of self-cultivation had vanished.

The condensed sword domain surrounded Chu Ci, and the domineering, self-centered sword intent soared into the sky.

The heterochromatic black dragon danced behind Chu Ci, its eyes fixed on Long Yue, its massive head roaring loudly above and to Chu Ci's right.

Chu Ci raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and his first and second soul rings flashed. Several streaks of light flashed, and his physique was strengthened once again.

The sword domain surrounding him gathered around him, clinging to his skin, and formed a simple white robe engraved with sword-shaped patterns in the astonished gazes of the crowd.

As Chu Ci donned his white robe, his sword intent grew even stronger. With his right hand forming a sword finger, he flicked it lightly, and an extremely sharp sword aura instantly struck Long Yue.

"Aow!" Long Yue's mountain-like body shattered instantly, and a bloody gash appeared on his body, starting from his right shoulder and spreading to his waist.

Ye Xinglan stared intently at Chu Ci, her sword intent suddenly aroused, and the Star God Sword appeared uncontrollably, emitting clear and melodious sword cries.

"This is?"

Ye Xinglan kept trying to calm the restless Star God Sword, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Chu Ci. What kind of sword intent could possibly disturb someone else's sword intent?

Dai Tianling frowned, pointed at the white robe on Chu Ci's body, and asked Enci beside her, "Teacher, what is that?"

Enci remained silent for a long while before suddenly realizing what was happening. He said in a tone that was half admiration and half respect, "Amazing! To be able to develop your domain to this extent, you are a genius!"

"Huh?" Dai Tianling was full of question marks; he simply couldn't keep up with Enci's train of thought.

Enci glanced at the bewildered Dai Tianling and explained, "Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a special use of a domain."

"By converging the domain and bringing it back to oneself, although the ability to suppress the surrounding environment is lost, every strike of one's own is imbued with the weight of the domain. Moreover, the enemy's attack must pass through the domain first, so the defensive capability goes without saying."

Upon hearing this, Dai Tianling was astonished, and finally sighed with sorrow, "Why has my Star Luo Empire never produced such a genius!"

Upon hearing this, Enci fell into a long silence.

Chapter 177 Slaying the Dragon with a Single Sword, Becoming the Champion

The competition on the stage continued, and Chu Ci pointed his sword to the sky, from which thirty-six floating sword energies soared into the air.

Tianzhu roared to the sky, as thirty-six floating swords circled around its slender dragon body.

The four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water shine brightly around Tianzhu, with the soul-guiding array appearing within it. Tianzhu, which controls the Tiangang Sword Array, hovers around Chu Ci.

The sword robe formed by the sword domain moved without wind, and countless sword energies flowed on the white robe, indicating that Chu Ci's sword intent had reached its peak.

The dragon roared and stirred up mountains and rivers, sweeping towards Chu Ci, but all of them were instantly obliterated by the sword energy when they were only three feet away from Chu Ci.

The jade pendant at Chu Ci's waist glowed slowly; it was a soul power storage device made from a miniature soul power fusion reactor.

The Taiji Qiankun Dao was operating at full power, drawing upon the soul power to the limit that Chu Ci's body and meridians could withstand.

Chu Ci felt the turbulent soul power within his body and knew it was time to unleash this final sword strike.

As the scales of the gods appeared and returned to balance, mysterious array patterns flew out from one end and landed between the sword domain and the Heavenly Gang Sword Array.

As the array patterns were filled and refined, the sword domain became imbued with the essence of earth, fire, wind, and water, its power growing increasingly heavy and terrifying.

Chu Ci's eyes flashed with numerous sword shadows, growing ever brighter, and he raised his right hand high, forming a sword-finger gesture.

Sensing the aura emanating from Chu Ci, Long Yue let out a low, uneasy roar.

Dragon roars resounded one after another, mountains and rivers rose up on the competition platform, and Long Yue stood in them. The phantom of the Mountain Dragon King behind him roared at Chu Ci with a thunderous roar, showing the demeanor of the Dragon King.

The crowd below held their breath, quietly awaiting the arrival of the final sword.

Chu Ci sneered, "So what if you're the Mountain Dragon King? You dare to be so arrogant in front of me? I'll kill you today."

Chu Ci's face was deathly pale from the excessive consumption of his soul power, but the situation was now settled and he could be killed immediately.

"Slay the dragon!"

With a downward slash, the Heavenly Candle soared upwards, transforming into a massive black-gold dragon-scale sword seemingly capable of piercing the heavens. The sword flashed, tearing through the sky and ripping apart the sunset, carrying an age-old, untamed spirit as it slashed towards Long Yue.

Long Yue stared at the colossal sword that had cleaved through layers of space and instantly appeared before him, a hint of fear flashing in his crazed eyes.

The phantom of the Mountain Dragon King thrashed about wildly, causing mountains and rivers to jut out, as if trying to block the incoming giant sword.

But this sword strike pulsated with the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, as if it had evolved into the very weight of the world. Mountains and rivers were merely affected by its power before being utterly shattered and reduced to dust.

The dragon scale greatsword fell as Long Yue's eyes were finally filled with fear.

First, it touched the two-word battle armor on Long Yue's body. In that instant, the two-word battle armor shattered and turned into dust, leaving not even a trace.

The phantom of the Mountain Dragon King roared in resentment, its pride making it unwilling to be suppressed, and it fought desperately against the giant sword.

A flash of sword light, and the Mountain Dragon King's hideous, enormous head crashed to the ground.

The dragon-scale giant sword continued its momentum, slashing towards Long Yue with overwhelming divine might.

"No!" Enci suddenly stood up, a golden light flashed, and a long dragon roar echoed on the arena, surrounded by aura of light.

Nine soul rings rose from beneath his feet, and Grace was enveloped in a holy glow. He pointed a finger, carrying the power of light, and slammed it onto the dragon scale greatsword.

"boom--"

The Dragon Scale Greatsword shattered, and the Heavenly Candle transformed into a stream of light that returned to Chu Ci's body. Immediately following this was an energy storm formed by the terrifying sword energy that roared and flew everywhere due to the shattered greatsword and the loss of its restraints.

Chu Ci knelt helplessly on one knee, his soul power completely depleted and his muscles aching all over, making it impossible for him to even move a step. He could only watch helplessly as the energy storm rushed towards him.

A streak of silver light flashed and landed on the competition stage. Then a silver moon rose, its silvery radiance scattering down. Cai Yue'er raised her hand and wiped away the energy storm as if it had been erased from the competition stage.

Xie Xie, sitting in the audience, breathed a long sigh of relief and cheered, "Yay! Captain won! Captain has taken the individual championship!"

But after jumping around a couple of times, Xie Xie found that no one responded to him. He turned his head and saw that everyone looked extremely serious.

"Huh? The captain won, why are you all acting like this?" Xie Xie asked, looking puzzled.

Le Zhengyu hissed, "Idiot, can't you see something's wrong on stage?"

"Huh?" Xie Xie looked towards the competition stage and realized that the atmosphere on the stage was terrifyingly low, with a sense of urgency surging beneath the surface.

Cai Yue'er and Enci stood facing each other. Cai Yue'er's nine soul rings fluctuated up and down, her body tense, staring intently at Enci, protecting Chu Ci behind her.

Because at this moment, the murderous intent in Enci's eyes was so intense it was almost overflowing.

Chu Ci comes from Shrek Academy and is undoubtedly the most capable student among those aged fifteen or older.

With his formidable combat prowess and exceptional creativity, if allowed to grow into a fully-fledged individual, he would undoubtedly be able to suppress the entire Soul Master world. Furthermore, Chu Ci belongs to the Sun Moon Federation, making him the greatest threat to the Star Luo Empire in the future.

Should such a person really be allowed to continue existing?

Moreover, Grace looked down at the dragon leaping in her hand, which was enveloped in holy light.

His aura was weak, he was covered in wounds, many bones in his body were broken, his martial spirit was shattered, and his entire body was covered with human skin and dragon scales. This was the price of overstimulating the bloodline of the Mountain Dragon King.

This battle has severely damaged Long Yue's vitality, and his future potential may be affected.

How could a master not go crazy when his favorite disciple was injured like this?

With national and personal grievances intertwined, Enci's murderous intent towards Chu Ci was reaching its peak.

Enci clenched his fists, and the Holy Dragon Martial Soul of Light rose with an incomparably powerful aura, making him clearly eager to make a move.

Cai Yue'er's face was extremely ugly. Enci was a Limit Douluo, whose strength far surpassed hers. If Enci really wanted to attack Chu Ci, she would not be able to stop her at all.

"Your Majesty, before coming to the Star Luo Continent, the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy personally told me that if anything happened to Chu Ci, he would personally travel to the Star Luo Empire. I hope you can put away any inappropriate thoughts you may have."

Seeing that the situation was developing out of her control, Cai Yue'er immediately invoked Yun Ming's name to warn the other party not to act rashly.

As it turned out, this move was quite effective. The moment the words "Palace Master of the Sea God Pavilion" were uttered, Enci's expression changed drastically.

Even among Limit Douluo, there are differences; there is an insurmountable gap between Enci and Yunming.

If Yun Ming were to truly make a move, En Ci would be absolutely unable to stop him. If he, as the strongest person in the Star Luo Empire, were to fall, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Star Luo Empire.

At this moment, Enci began to have second thoughts. After killing Chu Ci, the Star Luo Empire would face the wrath of both Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Federation.

There is no doubt that the Star Luo Empire cannot afford this.

Chapter 178 The kindness fades, and things escalate.

Just then, a flash of red light appeared, and a figure instantly rushed onto the competition stage.

"Who?"

Enci suddenly looked up, staring warily at the newcomer.

When Cai Yue'er saw who it was and realized they were friends, not enemies, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The man hovered in mid-air, coldly staring at Enci. In his right hand, he held a three-meter-long heavy sword, its entire body blood-red. His skin was an eerie dark gold. He stared coldly at Enci, his aura no less imposing than Enci's.

The one who arrived was none other than Mu Ye, the sect master of the Body Sect!

Makino looked coldly at Enci and said, "Although this is your territory, I still advise you to put away some of your ill intentions."

Enci pursed her lips, glanced at Muye, then at Cai Yue'er, snorted coldly, picked up Long Yue, and disappeared in a flash.

With Enci gone, the atmosphere on the competition stage instantly eased. Cai Yue'er put away her martial spirit, and Mu Ye also put away his god-level mecha.

Nangong Yi, who had been hiding in the audience, quietly returned to his seat.

Makino turned to look at the trembling referee at the edge of the playing platform and said, "Announce the final result!"

The referee was stunned for a moment before he reacted, swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice, "Chu Ci wins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ci could no longer support his exhausted body, and his vision went black as he slowly collapsed.

Just before closing his eyes, Chu Ci only caught a glimpse of a flash of silver light before he was pulled into a warm embrace, and a familiar fragrance wafted into his nose.

At this moment, Chu Ci felt more at ease than ever before, her mind naturally went blank, and she drifted into a deep sleep.

……

The two main characters in this final were unconscious, but every bit of the news from the final kept spreading. It was as if the news had wings, landing precisely on the tables of every major power leader.
