Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 251 Inside the Door

Di Tian's solitary presence had long been the only constant in this silent space. No one dared to disturb him unless absolutely necessary. However, today the tranquility was broken by a soft yet firm series of footsteps.

The newcomer had a graceful figure, wearing a tight-fitting dark purple dragon scale armor that outlined a breathtaking curve.

She possessed unparalleled beauty, yet her amethyst-like eyes were sharp as knives. She exuded a faint aura of bloodlust and a chilling dragon's might. She was none other than Zi Ji, a first-level god of the dragon race, known for her decisiveness and formidable combat prowess.

She is the sharp blade of the Dragon Clan in their external wars, and her fearsome reputation can stop children from crying in the Dragon Horse Galaxy.

But at this moment, as she approached Di Tian, ​​a subtle, almost imperceptible tenderness naturally surfaced in her cold, purple eyes. This tenderness stemmed partly from the fact that she was Di Tian's wife, with whom he had spent countless years, and partly from the fact that within the Dragon Clan, where strength reigned supreme, Di Tian's unfathomable power and absolute loyalty to his lord had earned her heartfelt respect and admiration.

"Di Tian," Zi Ji's voice was not as cold as it was when speaking to others, but carried a unique magnetism, "The new batch of dragon eggs has completed its final energy absorption and is about to hatch. As instructed by the Lord, we need to activate the Dragon Ascension Pillar to baptize them with the dragon race and lay the foundation for their bloodline."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian finally shifted his gaze from the stone gate to Zi Ji. He nodded, his voice steady: "Alright, I understand. Before His Majesty went into seclusion, he issued an edict that the cultivation of the new generation of the Dragon Clan is of paramount importance and cannot be delayed."

He took one last deep look at the unmoving stone door, a complex and unfathomable emotion flashing in his eyes—a mixture of worry and expectation—which ultimately turned into a barely audible sigh.

He stood up, his tall figure casting a long shadow in the dimly lit corridor. A thousand years of sitting in meditation had not made him complacent in the slightest; on the contrary, it had added to his dignified presence.

Zi Ji followed his gaze to the stone gate, a hint of worry, incongruous with her demeanor, flashing across her beautiful face. She sighed inwardly, "The Dragon Clan seems to be flourishing, thriving, with new blood constantly flowing in and its territory secure. But the fact that our Lord hasn't appeared for a thousand years makes one feel uneasy, as if—as if a pillar of stability is missing."

This feeling was especially clear to someone as powerful as her. She didn't say much, but silently followed behind Di Tian, ​​the two of them leaving this forbidden area that carried the highest secrets and expectations of the Dragon Clan.

As they left, absolute silence returned to the end of the corridor, with only the invisible pressure emanating from the stone gate still lingering.

However, this deathly silence lasted for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before a sudden change occurred!

The enormous stone door, which seemed to remain unchanged for eternity and isolate the inside from the outside, trembled very slightly, almost imperceptibly!

The tremor was so subtle that if the place were not absolutely silent, and if the stone gate itself were made of a special material and engraved with powerful isolation and stabilizing dragon runes, ordinary energy fluctuations or even earthquakes would hardly be able to shake it in the slightest, otherwise no one would have been able to detect it.

This precisely demonstrates that something extremely violent is happening inside the stone gate, something that could even shake the very essence of this specially made stone gate!

The gaze passes through the heavy stone door, and beyond it is not the secluded chamber one might imagine, but a deep, dark passage that extends downwards.

The passage was not dark; instead, it was filled with a terrifying, chaotic, and powerful stream of divine energy!

These divine powers manifested as a mixture of silver, gold, and chaos, violently colliding, annihilating, and regenerating, radiating terrifying energy pressure that caused the space within the passage to exhibit an unstable and distorted feel.

If someone lacks the strength to enter this place, they will likely be torn to shreds by this chaotic divine power in an instant.

Struggling along this rugged, winding passage filled with violent energy, until reaching the deepest part, the view suddenly opens up, revealing a unique and wonderful scene.

This is a vast underground cavern with a high, lofty ceiling, seemingly a small world unto itself. In the center of the cavern, a gigantic, emerald-green, and strangely shaped stone floats, radiating a soft yet powerful aura of life.

This stone seems to be the source of life for the entire cave. The life aura it exudes is pure and ancient, far surpassing the dragon energy outside. It is one of the dragon clan's most precious treasures—the Life Stone.

At this moment, on this Stone of Life, a stunningly beautiful silver figure sat cross-legged.

It was none other than the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena!

She still possessed that stunningly beautiful face, her long silver hair dancing wildly without wind, not gracefully, but rather stirred by the uncontrollable, raging aura emanating from her.

Her eyes were tightly closed, but her beautiful face was filled with pain. Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead. Her teeth were clenched, as if she were enduring some unimaginable torment and shock.

Around her body, in addition to her own chaotic dragon god power (after fusing with the origins of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings) and the silver radiance of the laws of creation, there was another extremely powerful and unique life aura!

This life force did not originate from Gu Yuena herself, nor from the life stone beneath her.

It is more gentle and more inclusive, as if it contains the supreme meaning of comforting all things and nourishing all living beings, yet it also carries an unquestionable sacredness and majesty.

This aura—if anyone familiar with the past of the Douluo God Realm were here, they would be shocked to recognize it—this is clearly the unique aura of the life law of that long-fallen Life God King of the Douluo God Realm!

This life force belonging to the God King of Life in the Douluo God Realm is not helping Gu Yuena at this moment. Instead, it is like an all-pervasive "foreign object" that is constantly harassing and infiltrating into some key process that Gu Yuena is currently undergoing in a strange way!

It seemed to be trying to interfere with Gu Yuena's final fusion with the Golden Dragon King's essence, or it seemed to be putting up a stubborn resistance and backlash when she was fully mobilizing the core power of the Dragon God and trying to completely refine and absorb something (most likely an existence or energy related to this life god king's aura).

Gu Yuena's seclusion was far from ordinary cultivation or healing. It was more like she was waging a perilous tug-of-war, an ultimate battle against her own bloodline, against external forces, and against ancient karma!

She was struggling not only with the violence and instability brought about by the fusion with the Golden Dragon King's essence, but also with the intrusion of the remnants of the Douluo Life God King's laws, which came from nowhere but were extremely troublesome!

This explains why, despite her immense power, she remained in seclusion for a thousand years, unable to emerge and unable to pay any attention to the outside world.

She used all her energy and divine power to suppress the storm within her body and resist external intrusions, hoping to complete that crucial step.

Inside the cave, a surging torrent of energy raged, and Gu Yuena's figure appeared and disappeared in the light, enduring immense pain and pressure unknown to anyone.

What exactly is she refining? And where does this aura of the God of Life come from? All of this has become a huge mystery shrouding this secret cave.

His gaze pierced through Gu Yuena's face, which was slightly contorted with pain, and penetrated into her vast and boundless sea of ​​consciousness, which was like a dazzling galaxy.

This spiritual world is vast and boundless; wherever one's thoughts reach, there is flowing silver light and dragon might, symbolizing the origin of the Silver Dragon King.
