Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 179 Challenging Yourself?

The exam began the next morning.

Inside the dean's office of the School of Foreign Languages.

"Have the final exam assignments been given?" Cai Yue'er asked Shen Yi with a smile.

Shen Yi nodded. "It's all set up."

Cai Yue'er said, "We must also take all of Gu You's things, leaving him nothing. We must conduct a thorough search, as he can come up with all sorts of ingenious methods."

Shen Yi smiled, "Don't worry, everything's been arranged perfectly."

Cai Yue'er laughed too, "The first final exam of every freshman year always brings us surprises and both laughter and tears. I wonder how well your class can do."

Shen Yi left. Cai Yue'er sat alone in the dean's office. After a while, she stood up, went to the office window, and looked into the distance. In the direction her gaze fell was a towering building that seemed to reach into the clouds.

……

"Cai Yue, Gu Yue is my disciple, please stop harassing her."

"You said I harassed her?"

"Do you think I don't understand your thoughts? But she has already joined my Spirit Pagoda and become my disciple. I believe that she will definitely learn much better from me than from you."

"Tenhou!"

"We've fought so many times, when have you ever beaten me? Alright, for the sake of our past acquaintance, let's call it a day. If you're not satisfied, you can have him come find me. Once Gu Yue graduates from the outer academy, I'll naturally take her away."

……

Taking a deep breath, Cai Yue'er narrowed her eyes, pushed open the window, and stepped out, disappearing into the void. Her figure flashed and vanished.

An empty dormitory room in the Shrek Academy work-study student dormitory.

Gu You rubbed his aching back. Tonight should be a happy night, as he was about to break through to Soul Saint and unlock the cool skill of Martial Soul True Form.

Gu You couldn't imagine how big the dragon's size could become under his Martial Soul True Body and Dragon Transformation.

Gu You sat cross-legged with his hands resting on his thighs.

Gradually, I entered a state of deep meditation.

"You've arrived?"

Gu You glanced at the enormous dragon god in the sky and became somewhat curious. Every time the dragon god approached him, it would tell him something.

"What is it?"

"Regarding your breakthrough," the Dragon God said calmly.

"How could something happen to me after my breakthrough?" Gu You wondered.

"That's right, do you remember the evil thoughts I told you about?"

"I remember." Gu You was quite afraid of this evil thought before. The Dragon God said it would be detrimental to him, but after so long, he hadn't felt anything was wrong.

"Because you lifted two seals, my power has temporarily increased, allowing me to suppress it for you. However, my power is still limited, and sometimes it's not enough to suppress it. At those times, I can only rely on you."

Gu You was a little confused by what the Dragon God was saying. "Are you saying that my breakthrough this time might require me to confront your evil thoughts?"

"Your comprehension is quite good, indeed." The Dragon God praised Gu You.

"Is there anything I should be aware of? What form of confrontation is it?"

"You must have unwavering faith. I don't know either. Only when you are truly close to becoming a Soul Saint, just one step away, will you and I know."

Gu You opened his eyes and looked at his hands.

"Then come on, let me see just how strong this so-called evil thought of the Dragon God really is."

The surrounding soul power fluctuations began to surge, inevitably mixed with life force.

They all rushed toward only one point: Gu You's chest.

Gradually, that final threshold is about to be opened.

It's about to burst! It's about to burst!

Gu You gritted his teeth, and at that moment, his mind went blank.

Thoughts seemed to be briefly absent, drawn away by a strange force to some other place.

"here it is?"

Upon waking again, Gu You looked around and was deeply moved.

He's in the universe!

Huge meteorites swept past him at nearly four thousand kilometers per second.

The larger meteorites were easy to avoid, but the smaller ones kept hitting Gu You's body.

The powerful impact sent Gu You flying instantly, crashing into another, even larger, meteorite.

Touching the spot where the meteorite had struck, Gu You felt his blood boil.

The four Qi and Blood Soul Rings appeared one by one.

Purple-Gold Dragon Armor!

The third Qi and Blood Soul Ring shone brightly.

Gu You was covered in purple scales after pulling himself out of the meteorite.

He stood in the void, the small meteorite posing little threat to him. The starry sky was breathtaking; nebulae drifted by, the meteorite merely a backdrop to the painting, perfectly complementing the image of a planet with its picturesque rings, slowly rotating.

What challenges awaited him? Gu You pondered this. He could clearly sense that the starry sky before him was merely a created world. It was all too unreal; he could even breathe.

Boom!

In the distance, a massive meteorite explodes.

The intense flames formed a large fireball. Gu You stared intently, and in the Purple Demon Eye, he seemed to see something extraordinary, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

What did he see? An exact replica of himself.

However, that version of myself seemed to lack rationality, shrouded in black light, giving off an evil feeling, with black scales covering my entire body, radiating a terrifying aura.

Gu You finally understood that if he wanted to break through to the Soul Saint level, he had to defeat himself.

They remained steadfast, their spirit rings rising beneath their feet, their terrifying level 69 spirit pressure slowing down the surrounding meteorites considerably.

The Dual Gods' Realm of Creation Opens!

The realm of life opens!

There's also an ice and snow realm, which Gu You felt was unnecessary to open. Don't forget, this is the void, and we are virtual beings, so there are significant restrictions on substantial realms like ice and snow.

Ah!

With a roar, the Dark Ancient Wanderer instantly emitted a black halo around it, and the surrounding meteorites were continuously destroyed and blasted apart.

At the same time, a black halberd appeared in his hands, emanating the aura of a divine artifact, which made Gu You feel immense pressure.

It seems the battle won't be resolved in a short time.

As Gu You's purple-gold dragon halberd appeared in his hand, his aura instantly surged. The two different auras caused the void to tremble and the starry sky to shatter.

war!

Gu You wielded his halberd with both hands, slashing at his own darkness. A bright purple light pierced through the Dragon God Halberd, sweeping across the universe.

With a diameter of at least 100 meters, it is like a death ray in the universe, obliterating everything in its path.

Instead of dodging, Dark Ancient Wanderer raised a spirit ring identical to his own beneath his feet. His left dragon claw grew larger, and he reached out to grab Ancient Wanderer's attack.

An unexpected scene unfolded: Dark Ancient Wanderer actually managed to grasp the radiance with a single dragon claw.

Then, with a burst of force, the radiance shattered.

Gu You swallowed hard, feeling that he was even stronger than him.

The ancient darkness rushed towards him...
