Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

The dragon god raised its claws, and suddenly, it looked up at the sky. Its deep dragon roar transformed into countless strange sound waves that resonated. The huge black dragon shadow behind it suddenly exploded, turning into countless black mists that surged into the shadow of the seven-colored dragon claws.

Instantly, a brilliant seven-colored light shone brightly, illuminating Di Tian's figure in a rainbow of colors. The Dragon God's Claw made a grasping motion towards Kong Tianxu. A gigantic dragon claw appeared out of thin air and suddenly lashed out at Kong Tianxu.

So, was Kong Tianxu truly unable to resist the Dragon God's Claw?

of course not!

He was familiar with the plot, so how could he not be prepared? Seeing that his plan to use Di Tian's fear of the power of fate had failed, he immediately and without hesitation switched to the second tactic.

Just as the seven-colored dragon claws were about to close, a dazzling rose-gold light suddenly shone from Kong Tianxu's chest! He didn't move an inch, but a cyan light burst out from his left side. At first glance, it was just a thin arc of cyan electricity, but in just a moment, it transformed into a deep purple light that shone and pierced the entire sky!

Purple Radiance Annihilates Dragon Thunder. He actually withstood Di Tian's Dragon God Claw head-on, trading injury for injury!

Di Tian felt a sudden emptiness in front of him, and then the deep purple light appeared right in front of him.

"Ding!"

With a crisp cry, the Dragon God Claw rose, narrowly blocking the invasion of the deep purple light.

Even Di Tian's expression changed slightly when faced with the Purple Annihilation Dragon Thunder, which contained the true meaning of the God of Destruction. Di Tian felt an extremely domineering and pure destructive power drilling into its body through the gaps in the scales of the Dragon God Claw. On its right hand, which had transformed into a dragon claw, a layer of the seven-colored flames was forcibly shaved off by the purple light. Under Kong Tianxu's dragon thunder, which had already obtained the true meaning of the God of Destruction, even the light of the Dragon God Claw became relatively dim.

It knew that it had probably chosen the most foolish way to deal with the situation. No wonder this human chose to use this tactic of exchanging injury for injury. Such terrifying attack power, even though it was blocked by the Dragon God's Claw, still caused it a huge drain on its strength.

"It doesn't matter," Di Tian sneered inwardly. This human's methods were indeed terrifying, but his most foolish act was choosing to confront the Dragon God's Claw head-on!

How could a mere mortal body withstand the power of the Dragon God's Claw?

But just as this thought arose in Di Tian's mind—

A streak of cyan-gold light silently separated from the afterglow of the deep purple lightning.

On Kong Tianxu's body, the same seven-colored light and shadow representing the Dragon God also appeared! However, that seven-colored light did not come from Di Tian's Dragon God Claw, but from Kong Tianxu himself!

A seven-colored dragon pattern slowly emerged in the center of his chest, exuding unparalleled ancient majesty, forming a strange resonance and confrontation with Di Tian's dragon god power.

Emperor Beast's Million-Year Soul Bone Skill - Dragon God's Body!

At that very instant, Di Tian's Dragon God Claw finally and firmly grasped Kong Tianxu's chest.

Two demigod-level powers erupted simultaneously within his body. Kong Tianxu finally truly felt the power of the Dragon God's Claw.

He felt a numbness in half of his body, and the terrifying force caused his body to spin violently. The Dragon God's Claw seemed to possess an absolute, terrifying power. Within this power, there was also an even more terrifying elemental force.

Kong Tianxu's mastery of elements is almost abnormally vast, with an unparalleled level of specialization in elements such as ice and fire, light, lightning, and space. Yet, this Dragon God Claw contains power that is nearly all attributes.

Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space—the fluctuations of seven elements appeared simultaneously and erupted in an extremely chaotic manner, giving him an immediate feeling of near numbness, as if his entire body no longer belonged to him.

However, he was already a demigod.

Furthermore, with the protection and enhancement of the million-year-old soul bone skill, Dragon God's Body, his Heavenly Soul Core began to operate at full power after the initial paralysis. Although injury was inevitable, the elemental storm that was powerful enough to tear a Limit Douluo to shreds was gradually dissolved within his body.

Two figures flashed past in a matter of seconds.

Di Tian tore through space and appeared a thousand meters away. The clouds beneath his feet were crushed into a huge dent, and the air surged like a tidal wave. The Dragon God Claw had completely turned seven colors, but on his left arm, there was a hole. It wasn't very big, and no blood flowed out—only the surrounding flesh looked withered and wrinkled, forming a shocking contrast with the intact right arm.

Kong Tianxu, a thousand meters away, was slightly out of breath, holding a cyan-gold spear in his hand.

The spear is sharp at both ends. One end is a brilliant gold, simple and similar to a spear, while the other end is extremely ornate and complex with a crystal texture. Two emerald green blades seem to grow naturally from the spear tip, hollow inside, slender yet sharp and menacing.

Without exception, both ends contained an immense life force, alternating like breathing. The faint mist and halo merged and changed, creating an extremely mystical scene.

Having used two million-year soul skills in succession and withstood a Dragon God's Claw, even Kong Tianxu's total soul power was somewhat overwhelmed, and his face visibly paled.

But as he held the spear, something seemed to flow into Kong Tianxu's body with the movement of the spear, and his originally pale face visibly regained its color.

The abilities of a demigod are not unique to Di Tian.

The fusion of the Blade of Judgment of Life and the Golden Dragon Spear under the power of destiny is one of Kong Tianxu's true trump cards: the Bone of Life and Death - the Dragon Spear of Judgment of Destiny!

As a true divine artifact, after Kong Tianxu broke through to the ninth ring, he was finally able to fully unleash the power of this demigod level.

The Blade of Judgment was forged by Kong Tianxu using his own ribs as a base, fused with the metal of life, possessing the terrifying ability to judge the life force of inanimate objects; while the Golden Dragon Spear has the talent to devour the life energy of all living beings and transform it into the power of its host. Under the harmonization of the power of fate, the two weapons were fused together. From devouring life to transforming it, the weapons themselves formed a perfect cycle, achieving an exponential amplification effect, and also greatly benefiting Kong Tianxu himself.

At this moment, Kong Tianxu held the Dragon Spear of Fate Judgment and felt a huge life force and energy surging into his body from the spear, replenishing the huge consumption caused by the previous burst.

He can keep fighting as long as his gun can reach the enemy.

Di Tian stared at him intently, his expression becoming more solemn than ever before.

That gun, and his flesh and blood...

He actually possessed demigod-level power, specifically demigod power related to the Dragon God.

Although Di Tian could tell that the previous outburst had taken a huge toll on Kong Tianxu, it had also caused him even more serious injuries.

He never imagined that life force, the gentlest of energies, could unleash such terrifying power. The life-devouring and life-extinguishing power of the Spear of Fate was frantically assaulting his body.

No, it's not just the power of life; it also includes the ever-transforming power of destruction, as well as the power of space.

The power of space could be neutralized, but the power of creation and destruction had already begun to cause damage. If it weren't for the powerful physique of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, he would probably have already suffered irreversible and severe injuries.

I'm injured again. On the same day, by the same person, I was injured twice in a row.

"Again!"

Di Tian suddenly roared. The roar was full of energy, like a thunderclap. The continuous injuries did not diminish his fighting spirit at all; on the contrary, they made his fighting spirit even stronger.

It was as if it wasn't his body that was injured, but something long dormant within him that was ignited.

For so many years, it had never encountered an opponent who could truly rival it. It had been far too lonely, far too lonely. It was filled with rage and resentment at Kong Tianxu's strength.

It's even happier!

This long-lost feeling, this blood-boiling sensation, this tension of having to give it your all or risk annihilation—

It's been so long, it's so wonderful, it's so exhilarating!

Di Tian suddenly swung his sword down through the void, this time using his damaged left hand!

An overwhelming aura suddenly burst forth, and a huge black dragon appeared behind Kong Tianxu, swallowing his body whole with a single mouth.

Within a radius of one kilometer, it was as if boiling, with purple bubbles appearing out of thin air, then quickly exploding and turning into countless purple waves that surged towards the central dragon, then spiraled and soared into the sky.

Di Tian tore open space once again, transforming into a streak of silver light and disappearing without a trace.

The immense binding and corrosive power eroded inwards, the terrifying dark elements unleashing their corrosive properties to the fullest extent. However, under the influence of the crimson-gold storm surrounding Kong Tianxu, which resembled a solar eruption, it was all instantly burst apart.

Just as Kong Tianxu was about to break through the dragon head, suddenly, a thought struck him, and he swiftly held the Dragon Spear of Fate in front of him.

In that instant, Kong Tianxu's soul power surged to its peak, and his entire being became filled with a sacred aura. The sacred intent gave people an indescribable feeling, as if in that instant, he had completely merged with this bone that was about to die, and his entire body suddenly turned halfway.

After successfully cultivating his soul power core, his soul power became virtually inexhaustible. Unlike ordinary soul masters, he could instantly boost his soul power output to its maximum, something that most soul masters could never do.

Releasing soul power also requires a process. In cases like Kong Tianxu, where one instantly puts their soul power into an overloaded state, ordinary soul masters are likely to suffer damage to their meridians, and in severe cases, it can even lead to life-threatening situations, especially for some soul masters whose soul power is already very domineering.

For him, who had completed the transformation of soul power into soul core, this was extremely terrifying. Even if Di Tian wanted to maximize the output of soul power that had formed a black hole, he would need to burn his life force to do so. However, Kong Tianxu's meridians had become incredibly tough and unobstructed after being completely tempered by the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red. His physical strength was at the demigod level, which was why he had such reaction speed and endurance.

Chapter 385 Seeing the Dragon

A seven-colored light flashed past him in an instant.

It was still the Dragon God's Claw! But this time, Di Tian wasn't pursuing power, but speed.

The speed was incredible, demonstrating a breathtaking fusion of spatial and dark powers. The seven-colored light of the Dragon God's Claw arrived before Kong Tianxu almost instantly upon its appearance, without any transition.

Moreover, this attack came at the very moment when Kong Tianxu had just exhausted himself and relaxed slightly.

Di Tian abandoned the lock-on and launched the attack purely based on his own judgment and speed. Without the lock-on, there was no warning, which meant that Kong Tianxu was ultimately unable to completely dodge.

Di Tian's figure emerged from the void, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Its tactics had subtly shifted after the previous exchange. Kong Tianxu's physique was indeed stronger, but his cultivation level was ultimately a fatal weakness.

Both are formed from soul power and soul cores, but Di Tian's dragon body is countless times larger than Kong Tianxu's, and the total amount of energy accumulated over 820,000 years is incomparable. More importantly, Di Tian possesses dual soul cores that complement each other in Yin and Yang, allowing him to recover much faster than with a single soul core.

Even with his demigod status, Kong Tianxu couldn't keep up the drain indefinitely. So Di Tian abandoned direct confrontation and switched to a fast-paced, attrition-based strategy, using continuous, high-frequency attacks to force Kong Tianxu to constantly deplete his soul power for defense until his soul core's operating speed couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption.

By then, even if Kong Tianxu had the Dragon Spear of Fate to replenish his strength, it wouldn't be enough to compensate for the high-intensity consumption.

The dragon spear swept across. The Dragon Spear of Judgment drew a complete arc in Kong Tianxu's hand, and the cyan-gold light blade turned the dragon head phantom that was devouring him, along with the remaining purplish-black bubbles around it, into dust that scattered in all directions.

A trickle of blood spilled from Kong Tianxu's lips. The Dragon God's Claw had finally wounded him, and seven-colored light raged in his wound.

But he took a step forward, his figure flashed, and he also darted into the spatial rift, narrowly dodging Di Tian's second claw attack.

Looking up from Shrek City, one sees a completely distorted sky, its color constantly shifting—sometimes gold, sometimes black, sometimes shimmering with iridescent blue-gold light. Despite being tens of thousands of meters away, the sky below remains so oppressively still that no one dares to move.

The aftershocks of the battle occasionally spilled out from the clouds, tearing cracks across the sky that stretched for kilometers, only to be slowly mended by the self-repairing ability of space.

Space flickered, and the two figures appeared and clashed repeatedly. Beams of light flashed in the air. Their figures were like two ghosts in the sky, sometimes appearing here, sometimes thousands of meters away. Each appearance was accompanied by a world-shaking collision, and each collision was only for a moment, but in that instant, the spear and sword had already clashed dozens, even hundreds of times.

This is a clash of guns and swords, a battle between man and dragon. Every face-to-face encounter is a fight to the death. In the fierce confrontation where blood is mixed with blood, victory and survival are sought.

……

at the same time.

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er followed Qiu'er as they continued to descend. The three of them had already dived more than 100 meters into the lake, but the water remained clear and transparent, offering excellent visibility; they could even see the patterns of light reflected off the surface of the water above their heads.

The lake water was much warmer than they had imagined, and contained an incredibly rich life force. Although they could not directly absorb and assimilate it, this vast and powerful life force was able to continuously nourish their bodies.

Here, one could even breathe directly; the lake water entered his lungs without causing any choking sensation, but rather felt like inhaling warm steam, carrying a faint sweetness and a refreshing coolness. Huo Yuhao could clearly feel the meridians in his body, which had been blocked due to slumber, slowly clearing under the cleansing force of this life energy. The residual toxins stuck to the meridian walls were gradually peeled away, dissolved, and expelled from his body by the life force. The comfortable feeling almost made him groan out loud.

There were no fish, no aquatic plants, and no signs of life in the water, yet the lake itself was brimming with life. It was a feeling that was hard to describe; it was as if this lake of clear water was a sleeping living organism itself.

As the three continued to descend, the surrounding pressure gradually increased, but the life force became increasingly intense. Huo Yuhao felt as if his soul was about to melt away in this endless life energy.

"arrive."

Qiu'er suddenly stopped.

Huo Yuhao followed her gaze downwards. In the darkness at the bottom of the lake, a faint light could be seen.

The light initially appeared as a small spot, gradually expanding as the three approached. When they finally reached the bottom of the lake, the sight before them caused Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er to involuntarily hold their breath.

It was a spring as smooth as a mirror. The spring was extremely small, less than a meter in diameter, and its surface was as smooth as a mirror, without a single ripple. The spring water was so clear that it was almost unreal; through the surface, you could see something slowly flowing underwater, but the outlines of those flowing things were impossible to make out clearly.

Around the spring, a ring of green metal had gathered. Unlike any known metal, its surface shimmered with a warm luster, containing the purest life force.

However, nearly a fifth of the edge of this green metal ring is missing, and the missing part has a smooth cut, as if it had been bitten off by something.

"This is the sleeping place of the Sovereign." Qiu'er's voice became low and solemn. "The true core of the Star Dou Great Forest, the source of the Fountain of Life. That ring of green metal is the Gold of Life, a product of life energy condensed to its extreme."

She reached out, wanting to touch the mirror-like spring, but as soon as her fingers approached, they were repelled by an invisible barrier. The barrier was transparent and invisible, yet incredibly strong; a faint ripple appeared where her fingers touched, then quickly returned to calm.
