Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

A cluster of brilliant purple flames ignited on the Panlong Staff, the pure purple light flowing like liquid glass, rippling in circles of soft light on the dim battlefield, dyeing Qian Gu Xing Ci's face a light violet color.

Enjoy the rewards of your spoils, like rain after a long drought, filtered and nourished by pure energy.

Previously preoccupied with his opponent, Zhang Huanyun hadn't paid close attention to the scene of Qian Gu Xing Ci killing the Mei Huang projection. Now that the dust had settled, he calmed down and finally discovered the key point.

"This is..." Zhang Huanyun asked excitedly, "It has to be that answer!"

Qian Gu Xing Ci nodded slightly and said, "Commander, I'll explain everything at the post-battle meeting. If you had left even a second later, a soldier might have died in battle. That's a family! Whose husband was that? And...?"

The heavy hat slammed onto Zhang Huanyun's head almost broke his neck, and his departing figure conveyed a sense of fleeing in panic.

at the same time,

"Spirit of Douluo, seal!"

A loud shout from Xue Yi Cao Dezhi echoed from the depths of the abyss passage. A huge nine-colored rune condensed in mid-air, and with the power to suppress all things, it crashed down at the deepest part of the passage. As the rune rotated, a nine-colored storm swept across the entire battlefield.

"The seal is repaired. With the support of the Blood God Array, quickly clear the passage." Zhang Huanyun's four-character battle armor flapped its wings, and he charged towards the horde of abyssal creatures.

During the exchange just now, Zhang Huanyun learned that the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor and the Ant Emperor had both been killed. The strongest abyssal creature on the battlefield was no more than an ordinary Title Douluo level. The result was much better than he had expected.

"Let's go back first. With the nine Blood Gods missing from the front, the pressure on the high-level combat forces will be immense." As Zhang Huanyun spoke, a demonic creature was sealed within the Mirror of Light.

Countless magnificent golden vines extend from the shoulder armor of the Eternal Star Farewell, with purple lightning crackling around them, flamboyant and menacing.

Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng put all his talent points into area-of-effect attacks. All three of his signature skills are wide-range attacks, making him incredibly adept at clearing out mobs.

With their combined strength, the two moved through the tides as if they were in an empty field. Qian Gu Xing Ci raised his hand and unleashed the Divine Firmament Thunder Prison, where lightning rained down, turning hordes of abyssal creatures into charred remains. Zhang Huan Yun took a different path and sealed away a dozen or so Soul Douluo-level abyssal creatures within, striving to maximize their gains.

"Overwhelming".

Countless pure white staff shadows fell like a sudden storm. After breaking through the Spirit Realm, Qian Gu Xing Ci could control every strike of the staff rain as if it were his own arm, accurately killing the stronger individuals among them. His great strength and flying bricks achieved the distraction control of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"That's enough. Kill the sealed-off ones first, then bombard the rest with soul-guided cannons!" Zhang Huanyun arrived at the front line and gave the order directly.

Only those at the Title Douluo level should be killed by Qian Gu Xing Ci. There's no need to drag things out and increase the losses for the rest; it's better to just show that art is explosion!

The Blood God Formation was closed. The nine Blood Gods had lost a lot of blood due to activating the formation, and their combat power was temporarily weakened. However, they had witnessed that the real big boss had been killed by Qian Gu Xing Ci and Zhang Huan Yun. Continuing to rely on the formation to suppress those opponents whose highest level was only Title Douluo was far less beneficial than their personal participation.

In an instant, the various three-word battle armors shone brightly, reflecting each other. Under the enhancement of the three-word battle armor, the titled Douluo at least exerted the combat power of a Super Douluo. The fate of more than a dozen Super Douluos and even those with extreme combat power instantly turned the tense situation around.

Blood Master Commander Xu Weitao immediately carried out the order, sending people to bring in high-explosive soul-guided cannons, shock bombs, and even all the sealed level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

The Blood Gods, well aware of Qian Gu Xing Ci's unique ability to seal abyssal creatures, saw a glimmer of hope for a counterattack for the first time in six thousand years. Their faces flushed with excitement. They tacitly inflicted severe injuries on all their Title Douluo-level prey, leaving them with their last breath for Qian Gu Xing Ci to finish them off.

With unyielding will and combined power, two gigantic dragon-coiled staffs, one on the left and one on the right, one above and one below, together display the aura of fighting against heaven and earth, like a white jade pillar supporting the sky and a purple-gold beam spanning the sea.

The tiny ants caught in the middle turned into blood mist and escaped right before their eyes, unnoticed by anyone!

The battles fought by Qian Gu Xing Ci through his own efforts only accounted for a small part. The other part involved the Blood Gods leaving their prey alive and waiting for Qian Gu Xing Ci to harvest them, feeding them with all their might.

Although doing so was the result of maximizing benefits, they did not know that killing Qian Gu Xing Ci would be of great benefit to him. He contacted Elder Jin in his spiritual sea, feeling a little embarrassed that he was always being waited on hand and foot, and hoped to use the projection of that Seed of Life to give them an opportunity.

Jin Lao readily agreed, as they were all heroes who protected the plane and deserved some rewards and blessings.

With an absolute advantage in combat power, those that are difficult to eliminate with soul tools will be cleared out first.

"Melee units, retreat! Ranged units, suppress with fire and compress the space!" Zhang Huanyun calmly commanded the entire army, seeing that the time was right.

Upon hearing the commotion, the Ironblood Battalion soldiers who were charging at the forefront retreated. Jiang Wuyue transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, covered in blood, and after tearing apart the last Abyss Four-Clawed Bat, she reluctantly followed the main force in retreat.

Jiang Qiyue and Long Yuxue transformed into dual-wielding female officers, their shots never missing their mark. With the return of the melee units, the firepower was unleashed in full force, with soul-guided rays firing in dense barrages.

"Reporting to the commander, the entire Ironblood Battalion is retreating!"

"..."

Once all the battalions had withdrawn, Zhang Huanyun shouted the order, "High-explosive shells, fire! At intervals, shrink the encirclement and carry out three rounds of bombardment! Level 8 fixed-position soul-guided shells, prepare!"

On the artillery positions, the soldiers' eyes burned with a mixture of excitement and grief. Remembering their comrades who had fallen under the claws of the abyss, they gritted their teeth and pushed the shells into the breech.

Dozens of heavy cannons roared simultaneously, their orange-red trails tearing through the dim passage like a meteor shower crashing into the abyssal creature-rich area.

The incandescent flames illuminated the perpetually dark, endless mountains, forming a massive fireball tens of meters in diameter. A violent shockwave swept across, instantly hurling surrounding abyssal creatures hundreds of meters into the air, their charred limbs flying wildly.

Extreme Cold Douluo Long Tianwu had the advantage of being in a frigid environment. His icy domain gradually compressed the living space of the abyssal creatures. Layer upon layer of ice walls, like a cage, kept shrinking inward, forcing all the remaining abyssal creatures into the core area covered by artillery fire.

High-explosive bombs rained down one after another, and waves of fire rose and fell, turning the entire area into a boiling inferno.

"Prepare to load the fixed-load soul-guided projectiles," Zhang Huanyun ordered.

There are higher-level soul-guided cannons, but the passage they are currently in is a natural layer of protection for the abyssal creatures. They should try their best to guard the passage, otherwise, if the abyssal creatures escape to the Endless Mountains, the manpower and resources required to intercept them will increase exponentially.

Level 8 is just right – not too high, not too low!

Chapter 183 The Tide of Life, The Upcoming Star Battle Network

The Blood God Legion has been based here for many years, and these links are always on guard. In less than half a minute, all links were ready.

"put!"

The fixed-mount soul-guided projectiles flew toward the abyssal creatures, trailing long tails.

"Boom!"

Amidst the raging flames and billowing smoke, the surviving abyssal creatures were reduced to dust by the devastating firepower. The only regret was that those mortal abyssal creatures would transform into a dark purple energy, flowing back into the abyssal plane.

After the artillery fire subsided, several large thrusters slowly approached, carrying a spherical soul guide device with a diameter of over three hundred meters.

The Heart of the Blood God.

The materials used in the Blood God's Heart and the three God-Slaying Fixed-Mount Soul Guidance Cannons largely overlap, but the Blood God's Heart is primarily used to power powerful soul guidance devices.

Similar to the connection between nuclear bombs and nuclear power generation.

The Heart of the Blood God extends many tentacles like an octopus, connecting with the soul guides in various channels. Powerful energy surges from it, forming a pale blue light curtain that seals the channels.

"We...won!"

A young soldier stared at the empty battlefield, his voice still somewhat dazed. This level of abyssal tide only occurs once every few decades, and most of the soldiers present were experiencing it for the first time. A sense of relief at surviving such a catastrophe welled up in their hearts.

"Yes, we held on!"

The soldiers were filled with joy and sorrow. Some were lucky to have survived the disaster, while others never saw their friends again.

"Blood Master and Divine Master, organize the troops to rest and reorganize, and take stock of the casualties." After giving the instructions, Zhang Huanyun turned to the generals of the Blood God Battalion and Long Tianwu, "Come with me, it's time for the post-battle meeting."

-----------------

Inside a certain camp, an eight-party meeting that will determine the future direction of the mainland is underway.

“The situation in the Abyss is not optimistic. I will request assistance from the Federation and other major powers. This matter requires the joint efforts of everyone present,” Zhang Huanyun said bluntly.

Those present held high positions within their respective factions, and their words would greatly increase the level of importance that each faction attached to this matter.

Then, a dozen pairs of eyes fell on Qian Gu Xing Ci. Some were inquisitive, some were shocked, and some were eager, like hungry wolves eyeing a rare treasure, making him feel a chill down his spine.

"Can you all stop looking at me like that? It's like you're interrogating a criminal." Qian Gu Xing Ci shrank back in his chair. "I know what you want to ask. I can indeed completely kill the abyssal creatures, and I'll explain why later. But the leader's idea just now was too optimistic."

He sat up straight: "The energy of abyssal creatures returns to the plane after they die; this has been a fact for thousands of years."

But today is an exception. The Abyss Saint King has absolute control over the entire plane. We have developed a method on our side that can truly annihilate abyssal creatures; he couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

“That’s right.” Cao Dezhi chimed in. He was the one who repaired the seal himself and was well aware of the strangeness of this incident. “The crack appeared without any warning, and the repair process was abnormally smooth. The complete death of the two emperors did not cause an even more terrifying tide to erupt on the other side of the abyss. Instead, it was unusually calm. They must be plotting a bigger conspiracy.”

"The federal government must prepare contingency plans to disclose this to the public in advance to prevent panic among the people," Xue Er said gravely, rubbing his throbbing temples.

"Alright, let's not talk about these heavy things for now." Qian Gu Xing Ci suddenly stood up slowly, and a blue-gold halo quietly lit up under his feet. Like a stone thrown into a lake, the light spread outward in circles, eventually enveloping the entire Blood God Legion's encampment.

Behind him, the phantom of a towering blue-gold ancient tree rose from the ground, its branches and leaves lush and verdant, each leaf radiating a warm, life-giving glow, with fine gold dust drifting down from between the branches and leaves.

"My ability to completely annihilate abyssal creatures comes from the Golden Tree. Elder Jin found me pleasing to the eye and bestowed this ability upon me. He will use the power of the abyssal origins I have slain to bestow a reward upon everyone."

Attributing the ability to the Golden Tree saves a lot of trouble in explaining, especially since the ability itself is inextricably linked to the Golden Tree.

"All troops, listen to my command! (Slit your own throats and die) Meditate on the spot!" Zhang Huanyun took a deep breath of life force so rich it was almost tangible, and immediately gave the order.

Blood Three, Blood Five, and Cao Dezhi, who had studied at Shrek Academy, instantly rediscovered the familiar feeling of deep meditation inside the Golden Tree years ago.

A comical scene unfolded in the camp: from the supreme commander to the ordinary soldiers, everyone sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation. A faint, pale green glow enveloped each person's skin.

As expected of the life core of Douluo Continent, the Golden Tree transformed this perpetually snow-covered, barren land into a top-tier simulated environment extremely suitable for cultivation in just a short time.

On the frozen ground covered with snow, tiny green shoots have sprouted for the first time ever, swaying gently in the cold wind.

For the Blood God Legion, who are constantly surrounded by darkness, ice, snow, and death, this touch of green, representing vitality, is a true treasure.

As surging life energy flowed into their bodies, the Blood Gods, whose blood and energy had been depleted from activating the Blood God Array, recovered to a state of full strength and vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This tide of life lasted for a full three hours.

As the ancient tree's phantom slowly dissipated, everyone opened their eyes, their eyes filled with surprise.

The scars left by years of fighting have faded considerably, the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes have been subtly smoothed out, and their overall spirit and energy have been completely renewed. If a discerning person were to observe closely, they would notice that the average appearance of the entire army's soldiers has become two to three years younger.

"Tianwu, please take my place for now." Zhang Huanyun felt the surging life force within him and was extremely excited. "I need to go into seclusion for a while."

Nourished by life energy, Zhang Huanyun's physical functions have made a considerable recovery. A Soul Master's physical condition is closely related to his talent, and the bottleneck becomes even more difficult to break through in old age. Zhang Huanyun had basically given up hope of breaking through.

But in that brief moment, he caught a glimmer of inspiration, and the gate to becoming a Limit Douluo opened a crack!

"Congratulations." Cao Dezhi was genuinely happy for his old friend. "After waiting for decades, this day has finally come."

In the current turbulent situation, the emergence of another Limit Douluo is undoubtedly great news.

The others did not rush into seclusion, but continued to discuss subsequent defense and aid strategies.

"The Abyss's inaction and other plans are not good news, but things should be peaceful for a while," Blood Three comforted him.

Everyone benefited considerably, instantly dispelling the initial somber mood.

Looking at the legendary figure who was the greatest contributor to this battle, the strongest restraint, the key to victory, and the hope of Douluo Continent, who single-handedly killed four projections of Abyss Emperors, Long Tianwu said, "Speaking of which, the Federation has launched the Star Dou Battle Network virtual space, which will be open in a little over a year. It will support Soul Masters below the Title Douluo level with a Three-Word Battle Armor to fight freely in it."

According to inside sources, a competition will be organized, with prizes including red-level mechs and even a full set of four-word battle armor made of metal.

Are you interested?

Upon hearing this, even several Blood Gods revealed expressions of envy. Zhenhua, the continent's only master craftsman, had seen a sharp decline in the production of Heavenly Forging Metal in recent years. Without the influence of the Limit Douluo and unimaginable resources, he wouldn't even be considered among the top. Winning this championship was practically a guarantee of a future top-tier powerhouse.

A Title Douluo who possesses a four-word battle armor has the ultimate combat power. Even if he is at the bottom among Limit Douluos, he still has the ultimate combat power!

"Restricting Title Douluos and Three-Word Battle Armor Masters?" Qian Gu Xing Ci stroked his chin, seriously complaining, "To put it bluntly, the technology isn't mature enough to withstand the destructive power of a Super Douluo. If I go in and break the server, won't the Federation make me pay for it?"

He has always been a law-abiding citizen; he can't afford to have a federal fine on his hands.

This remark drew a burst of laughter from the crowd. Someone chuckled and retorted, "What are you afraid of! We'll all vouch for you!"
