Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

With a sigh, Su Liang fixed his gaze on the throne floating high in the air beside him, and his spiritual energy surged once more.

A golden radiance suddenly appeared, and Su Liang, who was constantly fusing the spiritual energy in his body into the body of the God Emperor, soared up and flew towards the throne. From the very beginning, his goal was not the Abyss Ruler!

On the body of the Abyss Overlord amidst the flames of rebirth, faces contorted in agony and howling ceaselessly dissolved. Yet, in their final moments, they all wore expressions of relief, turning their heads to watch their faces vanish from their bodies. The Abyss Overlord roared, "No! No! Damn it! Damn it!"

Its enormous head turned towards Su Liang, its eyes, as big as copper bells, were bloodshot. It took a step forward, braving the flames of Nirvana, and charged straight at Su Liang!

Seeing the Abyss Overlord charging towards him, Su Liang didn't dodge or evade. Instead, he unleashed a punch that transformed into a blazing sun, slamming it fiercely onto the throne. "God Emperor's Annihilation Technique!"

"Sizzle!" After the throne received the blazing sun, a crack appeared, which spread downwards until the throne finally shattered and turned into dust.

After it disappeared, a familiar wisp of mist swirled around it.

Just as Su Liang shattered the throne, the Abyss Overlord arrived beside him, his mountain-like body slamming into Su Liang.

"Bang!" Su Liang was sent flying backward, his body radiating golden light that seemed to be alleviating his injuries, but the wisps of golden blood floating in the air proved that Su Liang was still wounded.

Following this force, Su Liang transformed into a roc and arrived beside Li Qingmo. To Li Qingmo's puzzled look, he picked her up in one swift motion. Golden light enveloped the two of them, and spiritual energy burst forth like a proud dragon, rushing towards the misty aura. This time, it was Su Liang's true full strength.

"Let's go! The passage is open, we can get out now!" Su Liang whispered to Li Qingmo in his arms.

Looking at the rising mist, Li Qingmo's eyes flashed with excitement. She touched Su Liang's torn flesh with a touch of heartache, saying, "After we get out, you need to get him treated as soon as possible."

A strange look flashed in Su Liang's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Hmm."

Li Qingmo, who had been looking down, did not see this scene.

"After doing such a thing, you still want to run away!" The Abyss Overlord roared, his body blocking the misty aura.

Su Liang whispered to Li Qingmo in his arms, "Close your eyes."

Li Qingmo obediently closed her eyes. Su Liang raised his head, looked at the Abyss Ruler, and channeled the spiritual energy within his body to its limit. The golden light on his body gradually turned into a blazing white light. Su Liang shouted, "Open for me!"

Abyssal energy rapidly swirled around the Abyss Overlord's body, and within it, ferocious faces emerged. At this moment, the Abyss Overlord seemed like a gate to hell, towering before Su Liang.

The golden sunlight, carrying a sea of ​​spiritual energy, crashed into the gates of hell, breaking straight through them. Under Su Liang's boiling sea of ​​energy, the Abyss Overlord was pierced through!

"No! Impossible!"

Ignoring the wails behind him, Su Liang sent Li Qingmo into the misty air and laughed, "Alright, you can leave now."

Li Qingmo opened her eyes, a look of joy appearing on her beautiful face. This perilous journey to the secret realm, though fraught with danger, was truly wonderful because Su Liang understood her true feelings. Looking at Su Liang, who held her in his arms, shielding her from all the storms, her eyes were filled with tenderness.

Hmm? Why do I feel so uneasy?

Standing before the misty aura, Li Qingmo felt a sudden unease. Just as she was about to turn around, she felt herself being pushed into the misty aura.

Li Qingmo turned to look at Su Liang. Even if she were stupid, she would realize that something was wrong.

"Su Liang! Why didn't you come in with me!"

No! You've been lying to me from the beginning! Is this teleportation only for one person to exit?!

"You bastard, let me out! I want to be with you! No! Su Liang, you big liar!"

Chapter 967 A Desperate Struggle

Watching Li Qingmo disappear into the misty aura, Su Liang listened quietly to everything Li Qingmo had said, then chuckled softly, "A big liar? I, who deceived your hearts, might really be a big liar."

From the moment Su Liang received the message from the Reincarnation Seal, he knew that only one person could be teleported away for this Supreme-level mission. After all, he could only be considered a rule-breaker. Su Liang did not hesitate about who should go out. With the body of a God Emperor, he could survive in the void. But if Li Qingmo encountered the void, he would definitely be swallowed up.

Turning to face the Abyss Overlord struggling to repair his body in the distance, Su Liang smiled calmly as a vast expanse of void black holes began to spread and devour them. "Come! Let's fight to our hearts' content!"

In the misty air, Li Qingmo's eyes were red and swollen, filled with a deathly intent. Su Liang had once again fulfilled his promise; he had truly protected her with his own life. But what had she done for him? Li Qingmo smiled bitterly.

"Are you unwilling to accept this? Are you in pain? Then accept me."

In her mind, a celestial melody, seemingly emanating from the heavens, echoed. Li Qingmo grasped at this last straw, exclaiming, "If I can save Su Liang, I'm willing to give my life!"

The ethereal voice in her mind was moved, asking, "Is it really worth going to such lengths for that man?"

Li Qingmo smiled gently and said, "You don't understand. When you fall in love with someone, your heartstrings beat only for them."

Xianyin fell silent. "Is that so? I can give you the power, but you don't need to give your life. After all, we are one person."

As the words fell, when Li Qingmo opened her eyes again, her long, black hair cascaded down, her eyes were clear and cold, and her elegance was tinged with a transcendent, ethereal charm.

A celestial aura emanated from her, and with a light tap of her delicate, jade-like fingers, the misty energy trembled. 'Li Qingmo' wearily closed her eyes and said, 'Now you can go back. With this celestial aura, can you take that kid with you? I'm tired. It's up to you now.'

Li Qingmo silently sensed the otherworldly, ethereal energy within her body, which seemed unlike anything found in the mortal realm, and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"We are one, why thank me?" 'Li Qingmo's' voice carried further and further away until it disappeared.

……

"boom!"

In the Blood Sea Secret Realm, on the ruins of the royal palace, Su Liang and the Abyss Overlord clashed head-on, like two ancient ferocious beasts exchanging the most primal blows.

Su Liang crushed the bone spurs in front of him with one palm, and then unleashed another punch. A surge of spiritual energy erupted and pounded into the Abyss Ruler's body. The Abyss Ruler roared in pain, its body spinning, and it swept its tail towards Su Liang. Su Liang sneered, raising his arm in front of him, golden light gathering to block the tail attack. Taking advantage of this, Su Liang swept his leg horizontally, like a swimming dragon. With one kick, golden light overflowed and swept outwards, and a torrent of spiritual energy gathered behind him, transforming into a torrent of spiritual energy. His figure shot out, directly breaking through the thick black energy surrounding the Abyss Ruler and kicking its body, sending the Abyss Ruler flying backwards.

The Abyss Overlord crashed heavily onto the distant Royal Palace's Imperial Gate. Looking out, the entire Royal Palace, from the court hall all the way to the Imperial Gate, had been reduced to ruins.

In the air, across the vast expanse of the earth, wisps of black energy were once again summoned out by the Abyss Overlord, inhaled into his body, and used to heal his injuries. Looking at Su Liang, who had transformed into a golden sun, fear flashed in his large, copper-bell-shaped eyes. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Even if he could continue to survive by relying on the black energy, the pain of being beaten would not dissipate.

Looking at the Abyss Overlord on the ground, who had recovered to six or seven tenths of his original strength, Su Liang pondered his countermeasures. With his normal strength, he could completely overwhelm it, but facing a monster that could recover quickly, Su Liang felt troubled.

"It seems we have no choice but to take a gamble and use the Flame of Rebirth."

Recalling the Abyss Overlord who had suffered severe injuries within the Nirvana Fire Lotus, Su Liang murmured.

Without hesitation, Su Liang summoned his spiritual energy and, following the Fire Lotus technique, gathered the flames of his past life onto his body. Looking at the flames in his palm, Su Liang slapped them into his body! When the sea of ​​spiritual energy encountered the Nirvana Fire, a large amount of spiritual energy was burned away. Su Liang's face turned pale. He hadn't even injured his enemy a thousand times, but he had already lost eight hundred of his own energy.

Su Liang gritted his teeth and endured the discomfort brought by the Nirvana Flame, actively mobilizing the spiritual energy in his body to try to contact it, transforming the flow of spiritual energy in his body into the Nirvana Flame Lotus. With the burning of large areas of spiritual energy, Su Liang's breathing became unstable, the dazzling golden light on his body flickered, and his face became increasingly pale.

The Abyss Overlord on the ground was overjoyed at Su Liang's reckless behavior. He quickly gathered the surrounding black energy and absorbed it into his body to recover from his injuries.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate. Either Su Liang would successfully absorb the Nirvana Flame and break the deadlock, or he would be completely exhausted by the Abyss Ruler.

Within Su Liang's body, the Nirvana Flame, like a child, was curious about everything around it, rushing left and right. However, since everything it passed through turned into nothingness, the Nirvana Flame became irritable and began to cause destruction, inflicting waves of injury on Su Liang.

Cold sweat dripped from Su Liang's forehead as he channeled his spiritual energy, attempting to guide the Nirvana Flame to attach itself to it. Unfortunately, he was not a member of the Phoenix Clan, and the Nirvana Flame did not understand his intentions, instead causing chaos within his body.

After several attempts, Su Liang realized he couldn't subdue the Nirvana Flame. Helpless, he had to let a wisp of golden spiritual energy capture it. Under the protection of the golden spiritual energy, the Nirvana Flame became quite docile. Su Liang had a sudden inspiration and tried sending the Nirvana Flame, which was wrapped in his hand, into the spiritual energy. This time, the Nirvana Flame cooperated and burned on the surface of the spiritual energy. Su Liang was overjoyed.

Opening his eyes, the flames of rebirth began to blaze within his golden gaze. He channeled his spiritual energy, and a massive, raging fire erupted around him, scorching the very space beneath it.

"This! Why! How can a human control the Nirvana Flame?" The Abyss Overlord stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

"There's no 'why,' I only know that your death is near!" Su Liang coldly shouted.

It swept in with raging flames of rebirth, and wherever the flames passed, the abyssal black mist that filled the air was swept away.

With a stomp of his foot, Su Liang flew towards the Abyss Ruler like a roc spreading its wings. Behind him, a vast ocean of spiritual energy, imbued with the flames of Nirvana, surged forth. Within it, there was not only a sea of ​​spiritual energy, but also a boundless golden radiance.

The Abyss Overlord looked at Su Liang's figure, fear and fierceness flashing in its eyes. Su Liang pressed closer step by step. Did it really think it had no temper?

With a roar, the Abyss Overlord's enormous body began to shrink, reverting to a majestic middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe.

Chapter 966 Let's sink into our dreams forever

The shrunken Abyss Overlord's aura not only did not decline, but instead rose higher and higher, quickly surpassing its former strength, with jet-black flames surging from its body.

The overwhelming abyssal demonic energy also gathered behind him, transforming into an abyssal river. Black cracks spread around the river, and its power was so great that even ordinary giants and powerful figures would melt into a muddy stream if they entered it.

But under such terrifying power, the Abyss Ruler's face turned deathly pale, and his aura steadily weakened. Looking at the abyss river above him, the Abyss Ruler laughed loudly:

"Come on! Let me show you the magnificent dragon of our nation!"

"Roar!" In the abyss river, a figure thousands of meters long roamed. It had a slender body and powerful dragon claws. It seemed to be rushing and swimming in the abyss river. It poked its head out and roared at Su Liang.

This was undoubtedly a true dragon, with clearly defined scales and horns, but it had nothing to do with the devastation described by the Abyss Lord. Its entire body was pitch black, and an ominous, deathly aura emanated from it, sweeping across the surroundings.

Looking up at the demonic dragon, the Abyss Overlord was filled with fascination. "Go! Let them witness the might of our nation! Bring victory to our country!"

The demonic dragon crawled out of the abyss river, and its mere wandering caused the space to begin to shatter. An ominous and deathly aura transformed into a torrent of ten thousand feet high. The demonic dragon roared and soared up, flying majestically towards Su Liang.

Su Liang's eyes were solemn. In his eyes, the aura of the demonic dragon was the same as that of the Abyss Overlord, both being king-level giants. However, the pressure it brought to him was self-evident. Even if it was not a true dragon, it was at least a dragon that brought national fortune. Su Liang, who had never seen a true dragon, could not judge which was stronger.

With a single palm strike, Nirvana Flames surged forth, coiling around the demonic dragon's body and spreading wildly into flames. However, the demonic dragon coiled its body, and the ominous aura around it pushed out the Nirvana Flames, before viciously grabbing at Su Liang with a claw.

Su Liang swayed and dodged, then flashed to the top of the demon dragon's head. With a punch, empowered by Nirvana Flames, the body of a Divine Emperor, and spiritual energy, he shattered the dragon's scales and struck its head hard.

"Roar!"

The demonic dragon roared and swung its body like a mountain, crashing towards Su Liang. Su Liang took the momentum, stepping on the demonic dragon's body. Under the golden light and Nirvana Flame, he actually managed to fight the demonic dragon to a standstill.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Su Liang flew to the head of the demon dragon and unleashed a series of powerful punches, as bright as the golden sun, which struck the dragon's horns with tremendous force. The dragon's horns cracked slightly under the blow.

The demonic dragon visibly trembled, then let out an even more furious roar. Its head turned towards Su Liang, and it opened its huge mouth, creating surging waves of air as it tried to bite Su Liang.

But Su Liang's figure had already disappeared. Like mercury spilling onto the ground, Su Liang threw a punch. Following the golden light, the left side of the demonic dragon exploded, scales flew, and black blood flowed like rain.

Above the royal palace, Su Liang moved nimbly, bursting with Nirvana Flames, his whole body radiating golden light, as he engaged in a fierce battle with the Qi Luck Dragon, which was thousands of meters long.

However, the battle was indeed one-sided. With each circle Su Liang made, the dragon's body would be injured, but Su Liang would skillfully dodge each attack.

It's not that the dragon isn't fast enough. Even ordinary kings and powerful figures would struggle against this force of destiny and national fortune. Its speed is like thunder, and its figure hovering in the air is like supersonic flight.

Its sharp teeth and scales are comparable to top-grade magic treasures. An ominous aura surrounds its body, and even ordinary kings and giants who approach it will feel uneasy and their cultivation will be greatly suppressed. This is a strange and divine creature that can rightfully be called the dragon that protects the nation's fortune.

"Boom!" After blasting the dragon in front of him into a mess of scales once again, Su Liang quickly scanned the entire area of ​​the dragon, looking for a flaw.

At a glance, the dragon looked extremely miserable. Several of its sharp teeth had been pulled out, one of its horns was broken off, and the other was broken in half.

With countless large and small pits all over its body, the demonic dragon roared shrilly and charged towards Su Liang, carrying with it a torrent of abyssal demonic energy. Along its path, the dragon's wandering body even caused the space itself to collapse.

With a regretful look away, Su Liang grabbed the charging dragon and punched it in the dragon's large, copper-bell-sized eye. Nirvana Flames quickly clung to it, burning the dragon's left eye to nothingness. Su Liang then grabbed the remaining half of the dragon's horn and threw it down hard.

"Bang!" The remaining dragon horn broke off.

"Boom!" The massive body of the demonic dragon was slammed hard onto the ground by Su Liang, forming a basin that was soon filled with gushing black blood.

He casually tossed aside the enormous dragon horn in his hand, then looked down and was stunned to discover an unexpected delight.

The dragon, its two horns severed, was now struggling miserably to get up, and embedded in its massive head was a bead shimmering with a dense abyssal aura.

Did you notice it too?

Behind him, the middle-aged man's voice came, but unlike before, it was now filled with a strong imperial aura.

Su Liang turned around and saw a pale-faced, emaciated middle-aged man looking at him with a stern expression.

Unlike the imperial aura contained within his imposing presence, this imperial aura, seemingly etched into his very bones, caused Su Liang to narrow his eyes slightly. "Should I now call you the Lord of the Abyss? Or the King of this country?"

The middle-aged man shook his head. “What you call me now doesn’t matter. My country has long since disappeared into the past. Outsider, thank you for waking me up.”

"Really? No need to thank me then. I would be even happier if the reward were to get rid of you."
