Douluo Continent: Copying Ya Li, the Carefree King of the Sun and Moon

This is probably all they have in their possessions.

He took a deep breath and slowly released the Angelic Sword.

The golden sword light shone brightly in the dim mountain forest, like a small sun.

"kill."

As soon as the word was uttered, all three hundred Imperial Guards attacked simultaneously.

The roar of the soul tools, the muffled thuds of colliding soul forces, and the crisp sounds of clashing swords instantly exploded in the valley.

Xiao Dingtian fought two Title Douluos alone, causing a great upheaval.

Le Zhengling stood protectively in front of Xu Yanli. Wherever the angelic sword light passed, the men in black fell in droves. However, there were simply too many enemies, and their target was clear: Xu Yanli. They charged towards him recklessly.

Xu Yanli slashed down a Soul Saint with a single sword strike, his arm going numb from the impact. As expected of a power-type Soul Saint, his strength was immense.

Just as she was about to exert her strength again, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a very faint shadow flitting from the side, so fast that even Yue Zhengling didn't have time to react.

The shadow pierced through the Imperial Guard's defenses, past Yue Zhengling's sword light, and rushed straight towards him.

Xu Yanli's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding a fatal blow.

But the shadow struck his right arm with a palm strike, the wind from which pierced through his soul power protection.

A sharp pain struck instantly, and blood trickled down between his fingers, staining half of his sleeve red.

"Your Highness!" Yue Zhengling roared, drawing her sword to strike.

The shadow struck successfully, then immediately retreated and disappeared into the crowd.

Yue Zhengling tried to give chase, but was entangled by the men in black who surged forward and couldn't break free at all.

Xu Yanli clutched his right arm, drops of blood falling to the ground.

The pain was real, but what alerted him even more was the shadow's movement.

It's faster than a human, it's not human at all, it's a soul beast in human form!

When did the second and fourth brothers get involved with soul beasts?

That's impossible, given their skill level.

Before he could think it through, more men in black rushed up.

Xu Yanli gritted his teeth and forcefully activated the Angelic Holy Sword. The golden sword light surged, slashing back the people in front of him.

Blood dripped onto the ground, one drop, two drops, three drops...

The moment the third drop of blood hit the ground, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a light appeared on the ground beneath Xu Yanli's feet. The color was strange and indescribable; it seemed to contain everything, yet also seemed to contain nothing at all.

Chapter 99 Secret Realm

Light spread from the location of the blood droplet, weaving a complex pattern, like an ancient array.

Before Xu Yanli could react, his feet suddenly gave way, and the ground seemed to vanish as he plummeted straight down.

"Your Highness!"

Yue Zhengling's exclamation rang out overhead, growing fainter and fainter.

Xu Yanli fell downwards, and the surrounding light grew brighter and brighter, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.

I only managed to hear one last muffled thud, and then I heard nothing more.

The light dissipated.

The valley, which was just crowded with people, is now empty, with only traces of blood on the ground to prove that people were just there.

With a single sword strike, Yue Zhengling drove back the enemies around her and rushed to the spot where Xu Yanli had disappeared. The ground was completely intact, without even a crack.

But Your Highness simply vanished into thin air.

"Your Highness!"

His shouts echoed through the valley, but no one answered. Only from the depths of the dense forest came a few low, guttural roars, particularly eerie in the silence.

Xu Yanli frowned as he looked at the scene before him, which resembled a vast forest.

What kind of hellish place is this?

At that time, what exactly was that person's purpose, strength, and rules? Moreover, it resonated to some extent with his Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul.

Could it be that the person attacked him because of his martial spirit?

Xu Yanli gently rubbed his forehead, a faint look of helplessness flashing across his face.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yanli slowly released his Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul.

Since he might have entered because of this martial soul, and the other party did not kill him after he entered, it means that they must have had a purpose.

He surveyed his surroundings and asked softly, "Is anyone here? May I ask what business you have with me, senior?"

Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed from the depths of the dense forest.

Upon hearing the dragon's roar, Xu Yanli clearly felt his martial soul tremble slightly, but soon his angel martial soul instantly formed a protective light shield around him.

A divine-level martial spirit automatically protects its master.

Xu Yanli had a feeling that the other person was responding to his question. He gripped the hem of his clothes tightly, a cold sweat running down his face, and slowly moved toward the direction of the voice.

The deeper you go, the more lifeless everything feels, and the trees have turned from green to purple.

It was as if life should not exist here; all things were extinguished.

Looking at this world with no way out, Xu Yanli steeled his heart and continued walking forward.

Suddenly, a huge cave appeared ahead.

The cave is entirely purple, and inside are purple crystals; it looks absolutely beautiful.

However, Xu Yanli clearly sensed that the crystal was filled with destructive power.

"They've arrived." A deep voice came from the depths of the cave. "Come in."

Xu Yanli paused, took a deep breath at the cave entrance, closed his eyes, and strode inside.

Xu Yanli finally saw who was making the sound from inside.

Inside sat a man with black hair and purple eyes, staring blankly at Xu Yanli, a huge iron chain around his neck, as if he were imprisoned.

"What's your name?"

"Xu Yanli." Xu Yanli remained silent for a while, and after seeing that there was nothing else around, he slowly answered.

"What a nice name," the man remarked. "You look just like that mortal with the angelic spirit who barged in back then. So, when she said she wanted to borrow something, it was for you."

"Who are you, senior?" Xu Yanli asked when he saw that the other party was unable to make a move.

"Who am I? Who am I? Hahaha." The man laughed wildly, his face filled with sorrow. "I am the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, the twin brother of the Dragon God you speak of, hahaha..."

Xu Yanli gently scratched his hair and asked in a low voice, "I remember reading before that you were his companion, not his brother."

Zihuang Mietianlong sneered: "Isn't the history of you humans written by the victors? I'm dead, I lost, so he can't just write whatever he wants."

"What brings you here, senior?" Xu Yanli asked respectfully.

“Senior, according to the physiology of your body, you should call me father?” Zihuang Mietianlong stroked his chin.

Xu Yanli: ? ? ?

So...

My father in the Sun Moon Empire was absolutely right back then.

Ah, this...

"Why don't you believe me?" Zihuang Mietianlong looked at his suspicious expression. "It's normal not to believe me. After all, I didn't understand what she was saying at the time. She just said she wanted to borrow some things to make a child. Never mind, as her father, I can't give you anything, just the divine position of Zihuang Mietianlong."

Zihuang Mietianlong became dejected as he spoke.

Looking at Zihuang Mietianlong's personality, Xu Yanli felt that he was not as tyrannical as people said. He seemed more like a normal old father.

It took Zihuang Mietianlong a while to realize something: "Do you want a spirit ring? I remember that you humans need a spirit ring to break through."

"Well then, it's not good for the father not to give you a gift, is it? Also, if you become a god in the future, could you help me break this bracelet?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanli finally understood why this person had been so enthusiastic towards him.

"Okay." Xu Yanli nodded.

“I will help you fully awaken your martial spirit. After all, with the crude methods of mortals, they can only awaken a mold, not even your bloodline.” Zihuang Mietianlong sighed.

Then, the surrounding purple crystals exploded instantly, sending a burst of intense destructive power toward Xu Yanli.

Xu Yanli was instantly enveloped by the power of destruction.

After an unknown amount of time, the destructive power emanating from Xu Yanli slowly subsided. His overall appearance did not change much, except that his eyes changed from light purple to dark purple, with a hint of crimson gold in the depths.

The next moment, his soul power instantly surged from level 65 to level 69, and his soul core instantly condensed and took shape within his body.

A red 100,000-year soul ring slowly rose from beneath Xu Yanli's feet. He could clearly feel his physical attributes becoming stronger, as if he were a giant dragon.

Oh no, now he's practically half a dragon.

Tsk.

Zihuang Mietianlong looked you up and down and nodded in satisfaction: "Now that's more like my descendant. By the way, the soul beast that injured you just now was a 20-year-old dragon soul beast. I'll have it sacrifice itself for you."

At this moment, Xu Yanli suddenly understood why some people said this Dragon King was tyrannical, abandoning his subordinates so easily. No wonder...

How come this thing has the same personality as Xu Tianran in the original novel?

No wonder he ended up like this. He couldn't even protect his loyal subordinates, so how could they be expected to be loyal?

Xu Yanli felt like her brain had shut down.

Chapter 100 Chaotic Relationships

Xu Yanli remained silent for a long time before finally asking the question that had been on his mind for so long: "Senior, I want to ask, why are the people of the Sun and Moon Royal Family able to awaken the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul?"

Zihuang Mietianlong scratched his head, his handsome, otherworldly face filled with bewilderment: "You mean this? How would I know?"
