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

We must sound the clarion call for a counterattack against the abyss!

As soon as the words were spoken, tens of thousands of soldiers raised their weapons at the same time, and their deafening shouts soared into the sky, faintly suppressing the howling of the north wind.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Zhang Huanyun looked at Cao Dezhi beside him: "Old Cao, the opportunity to fire the first shot is in your hands."

A clear voice interrupted the crowd, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound to see Qian Gu Xing Ci slowly walking out. Upon recognizing the newcomer, they didn't realize their behavior was presumptuous; at such a young age, he had already reached the top, and his words carried considerable weight.

Cao Dezhi frowned slightly. He usually treated Qian Gu Xingci as an equal for various reasons. If he interrupted now and couldn't come up with a suitable explanation, it would only cause more trouble.

"What is it?" Cao Dezhi thought to himself, hoping that the other person would want to go with him, so that he could do him a favor and help smooth things over.

"With the seal weakened, the abyss linked by the passage is now likely the thirty-sixth level where a Limit Douluo exists. The risk of facing the dimensional suppression is too great. Why don't you let me handle it?"

The aura emanating from the Ancient Star Decree was perfectly timed, gentle yet profound, compassionate and ethereal, bringing them a sense of inexplicable peace. This was especially felt by the Emperor Sword Douluo, whose sword intent was that of an emperor. This aura influenced his swordplay, but fortunately, the influence was positive, enhancing his strength to some extent.

The feudal lords were required to pay homage to the emperor!

Zhang Huanyun stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "You've broken through to the Soul Douluo level?"

"Not yet, but I have indeed made a breakthrough." Qian Gu Xing Ci nodded frankly. "I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do."

Zhang Huanyun pondered for a moment. Cao Dezhi was a pillar of the Tang Clan; if anything were to happen to him, it would be a devastating blow to the human faction. As long as the first shot was fired well and boosted morale, it didn't really matter who fired it.

“Okay.” He finally nodded in agreement, “but it has to be a shocking victory, so all the soldiers see our power. Are you confident?”

Qian Gu Xing Ci remained silent, nodded slightly, then turned and transformed into a streak of light, flying straight into the dark abyss passage. The low-level abyssal creatures scattered within the passage were instantly crushed into dust by the invisible pressure the moment he approached.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers at the entrance to the passage, Qian Gu Xing Ci hovered in mid-air, his twin martial souls manifesting simultaneously. Two soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet, like two dazzling suns, hanging high in the sky.

The first spirit ring lit up, a dazzling blood red!

Red, red, red, red, blue-gold, red, silver-white!

Red, red, red, red, purple gold, purple gold, orange gold!

Seven spirit rings, each one defying the world's understanding. The orange-gold, 100,000-year spirit ring was merely his seventh!

Two seventh spirit rings flashed simultaneously, and the Yuanjun Dharma Image of the Thousand Ancient Stars slowly emerged, clad in three-word battle armor. Compared to the past, this appearance was incredibly solid, as if a true god had descended to earth.

A majestic purple-gold dragon coiled around the Dharma image, emitting a soul-shaking roar as it moved between the Dharma image's eight palms.

The figure of the Eternal Star Decree resides in the center of the Dharma Image, atop two overlapping palms. The other six palms each hold a wondrous object.

The Four Symbols Pagoda that suppresses all directions, the Endless Bell that resounds through time and space, the blazing sun and the bright moon, the Coiled Dragon Jade Seal that governs the universe, and the Dragon Clan's ultimate artifact, the Ascending Dragon Pillar!

A faint silver light emanated from Qian Gu Xing Ci's left leg, and his body leaned slightly backward, merging into the Dharma form.

The two empty palms of the Dharma Image shone with brilliant golden light. Its gaze pierced through layers of space, precisely locking onto a distant abyssal plane.

A tiny star appeared in His palm, which upon closer inspection was a miniature of the Abyss Plane. At the same time, at both ends of that pitch-black Abyss Plane, two delicate hands formed from pure energy quietly emerged, cradling the entire Abyss Plane in their palms.

Faxiang clenched one hand, and her two delicate hands also came together in prayer.

In the abyss dimension, heaven and earth collapsed in an instant!

The voice of the Eternal Stars Resounded, seemingly a perfect blend of male and female voices, ethereal yet majestic, carrying a detached indifference that looked down upon all living beings. It clearly resounded throughout the entire battlefield and every corner of the abyss:

"I hold the sun and moon in my hands and pluck the stars from the sky; there is no one like me in this world!"

Chapter 205 The War Begins, New Faces

In an instant, the abyss erupted!

The Abyss Saint King's roar pierced through layers of dimensional barriers, his fury resounding throughout the entire abyss. In a fit of rage, he began to send troops ahead of schedule, arranging for the racial passages corresponding to the races that would send out their troops to be opened.

"Slay these humans who dare to overstep their bounds!"

The second floor, the eighth floor, the thirteenth floor, and... All troops attack!

The Abyss Saint King opened each passage one by one, much like a master controller before a smart airplane takes off.

Adhering to the principle of "since we're already here," Qian Gu Xing Ci swept his gaze over the final level, taking the entire 108th level of the Abyss with him and tossing it into the palm of the Dharma Image. A flash of golden light, and the 100,000-year-old soul spirit, a golden-haired lion-mastiff, emerged, its golden mane fluttering in the wind, roaring as if ready to charge unrestrained.

A golden-haired lion-dog with 100,000 years of cultivation is enough to crush the Crimson King, and it can hold its own against the Bear Lord in pure strength, but its overall combat power may be slightly weaker than the Bear Lord's. In short, a golden-haired lion-dog with 100,000 years of cultivation stands at the top of the level 98 Super Douluo, and using it to easily push through this last level of the abyss is simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Unfortunately, the creatures on this level were a swarm of flying insects with an astonishing reproductive rate, much like locusts. The golden-haired lion-mastiff shook its head in disdain, and the Thunderous Hell Vine behind it swelled up, its paper strips splitting and twisting into propeller shapes, dancing freely, turning all the flying insects in its path into dust.

Looking at the ancient star that emerged from the Dharma image, Zhang Huanyun looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"This is getting more and more outrageous. The Soul Saint is now comparable to a quasi-demigod. If the Soul Douluo is a demigod, then he must be a titled quasi-god. I don't even want to think about what he will be like when he becomes a quasi-god!"

Cao Dezhi ignored his old buddy's complaints and reminded him, "There are new faces."

Aside from the Demon King, who was already known to the public, a swarm of over ten giant abyssal creatures, each a hundred meters long, charged forward from the sky, along with several lizards with enormous heads.

Abyssal mammoths, abyssal bomb bees, and abyssal spirit dragons, accompanied by a torrent of abyssal tides, create a destructive aura that surges to the heavens!

"Fire!"

At Zhang Huanyun's command, the Soul Guidance Cannons, poised for action, roared simultaneously, countless dazzling beams of light piercing the sky, illuminating the endless mountain range with technology.

The Blood God's Heart, in conjunction with various soul-guided devices, adds to the defensive line and forms a cross-defense system with the help of the turrets.

Baan and the Abyss Mammoth are arguably the most resilient races in the Abyss, second only to the Celestial Bull Emperor's Guardian Bull race. A single volley of 300 high-explosive shells has almost no effect on them.

Hundreds of snow-white mechs advanced in formation. In large-scale legion battles, the versatility and safety of mechs far surpassed that of battle armor. Soul Masters could greatly reduce casualties within mechs, and the mechs' attack methods were perfectly suited to warfare.

This batch of mechs is equipped with melee weapons and soul-guided cannons to deal with various emergencies.

"The new 'cow-stick candy' has arrived, and its overall strength is even above Ba'an's." The days of being dominated by Ba Huang are still vivid in Zhang Huanyun's mind, and recalling them makes his scalp tingle.

"The leader of the 'sticky candy' group has also come out." Cao Dezhi pointed to the creature, which was the size of a small mountain and was surrounded by abyssal mammoths. Standing beside it were the eerie and sinister Enchantress and an abyssal spirit dragon king with empty eyes.

Zhang Huanyun stared at the targets: "The Demon Emperor, the Giant Lizard, and the Mammoth—three ultimate combat powerhouses."

"These big guys need to be dealt with first." The Ruthless Sword appeared in Cao Dezhi's hand. If the ultimate combat power were to fall into the current battlefield, it would be a devastating blow.

"Tianwu Mengjun, your Martial Soul Fusion Skill will probably have to be used as the decisive factor in this battle," Zhang Huanyun reminded them, telling them to conserve their strength while he, Cao Dezhi, and Han Tianyi went to meet the enemy.

The ruthless sword revealed its full sharpness, cleaving the abyss mammoth with its power, yet leaving only a bloody mark after the single strike.

Cao Dezhi understood. The pressure from the other plane still existed; weakening the seal was a way to trap them like turtles in a jar, gradually eroding the abyss. Pure white four-character battle armor wings unfurled behind him, instantly overwhelming their combat power!

On the other side, a bright mirror hung high above Zhang Huanyun's head, its clear light illuminating the battlefield. This time, the Demon Queen had descended in her true form, her cultivation reaching the demigod realm, far surpassing the one-third projection she had shown earlier. However, as an old rival, Zhang Huanyun knew the Demon Queen's abilities inside and out, and the two fought to a standstill.

Han Tianyi looked at the large-headed lizard opposite him and said, "Peak of the Spirit Realm. It seems to be a perfect match for my profession."

A seven-colored helmet descended from the sky. Han Tianyi's four-word battle armor was quite unique, concentrated on the helmet, with nine black soul rings pulsating, and his head strangely enlarged.

A strange fluctuation of spiritual energy distorted space, conjuring a scene of ten thousand beasts galloping about.

Ferocious beasts, created purely from imagination, take to the field. The Ice and Snow Emperors rely on each other, the Evil Emperor controls the entire scene with eighty-one tentacles, and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King and the Hell Demon Dragon King fly side by side.

"You only have the cultivation of a quasi-demigod? Are you looking down on this old man?"

If the illusionary realm couldn't clear the large-headed lizard, Han Tianyi, who came from the Body Sect, would also have some knowledge of martial arts through constant exposure.

The Yuanjun Dharma Image traversed the battlefield, its bells ringing like the crisp chimes of a clock, causing some of the abyssal creatures to freeze in motion. The Four Symbols Tower unleashed a torrent of elements, and the Sun and Moon Wheels spun once among the abyssal creatures before returning to the Dharma Image's palm, bringing back quite a few local specialties as well.

The Jade Seal and Dragon Pillar combine to create a thrilling combo attack, its earth-shattering power unstoppable. The Eternal Star Decree is unleashed, its towering form reaching for the heavens, while the Coiling Dragon Staff soars into the sky, its brilliance mirroring that of the Ascending Dragon Pillar.

"laugh--"

A silent scythe blade attacked him from behind.

With his keen senses, Qian Gu Xing Ci parried the attack with a backhand strike, the immense force sending the attacker flying.

The Abyssal Mantis is a subordinate race of the Abyssal Mammoth!

In his eyes, the Abyss Mantis, which was at the Super Douluo level, was just a low-end version of the Evil Scythe; the vast difference in their spatial abilities created a huge gap.

Qian Gu Xing Ci raised his hand and unleashed a devastating attack, the Panlong Staff crashing down with immense force, while the Abyss Mantis transformed into warm energy that merged into his body.

His gaze shifted to the several enormous-headed lizards not far away: "They say these strange-looking things are dragons?"

Abyssal Dragon, the second layer of the Abyss, the strongest race in the Abyss.

The Dark Dragon King, who was watching the battle, felt that his dragon status had been insulted. His dragon scales stood on end, and he thought that such an ugly thing, comparable to the Black Dragon that destroyed the world, was called a dragon.

"He was born with the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, but his physical body was average. Overall, he was only a Super Douluo."

In the Abyss Plane, ordinary members of high-ranking races are often even more powerful than the kings of lower-ranking races, a fact that is truly astonishing to witness firsthand.

Qian Gu Xing Ci adopted the Dark Dragon King's strong suggestion. The Ascending Dragon Pillar erupted with dazzling golden light, sweeping out with the supreme pressure of the dragon race. Those arrogant abyssal spirit dragons didn't even have the right to resist before a true dragon artifact.

"bee..."

The abyssal bomb bees charged fearlessly toward the mech forces, detonating themselves upon approaching and triggering their internal energy. The violent explosions inflicted heavy losses on the mech forces.

"It looks like the Bee Queen has arrived as well."

Qian Gu Xing Ci quickly arrived at the battlefield where Han Tian Yi was.

"Elder Han, you go deal with the swarm first. A human wave tactic is not good for us." Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng was left behind by Qian Gu Xing Ci to deal with the bomb bees. In addition, Han Tian Yi is good at creating illusions, and his fighting style is similar to that of the Bee Emperor. Only by working together can they fight against each other.

Qian Gu Xing Ci, wielding his staff, faced the only three Abyss Spirit Dragon Kings below the Spirit Emperor in the second layer of the Abyss.

An aura of destruction was released, and the ancient Stardust Dragon Staff, imbued with the breath of heaven and earth, formed ancient purple-gold seal script. A will to fight against heaven and earth combined with a world-destroying attack!

One of the profound principles of the Unyielding Staff Technique is the combination of willpower with other moves. Just like the Eternal Court and the Eternal East Wind, they are good at integrating the will to fight against heaven and earth into the charm of creation.

In an instant, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, and terrifying lightning served as a sign of its arrival, causing the body of the Abyss Dragon King to turn charred black.

With a single strike, the Unyielding Staff Technique launches a comprehensive attack on both the body and mind; strong mental strength means greater endurance.

The image of everything turning to dust appeared in the Abyss Dragon King's huge head.

"The cycle of heaven and earth."

At this moment, the spirit and energy of Qian Gu Xing Ci reached an unprecedented unity. The imperial crown above his head burst forth with boundless light, the coiled dragon staff was raised high to the sky, and the six palms of the Yuanjun Dharma Image, holding the weapon, approached the staff god, with a purple-gold radiance like silk merging into it.

Mental strength can often aid in comprehension, but the allure of the cycle of heaven and earth is a deadly temptation. Even a madman like Long Yeyue fell for it; the higher-ups of the abyss creatures, who are more intelligent, are even more affected.

Everything evolves within the stick, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to the silly dragon who is addicted to television!

Chapter 206 The Lion's Fang, the Wise Emperor Asks Questions

“Divine Charm, the God of the Stick!” Cao Dezhi, who had also cultivated the Will of the Divine Realm of Weapon Martial Soul, was extremely familiar with the abilities displayed by the Thousand Ancient Star Words and blurted out subconsciously.

"I remember that even after you broke through your limits, you still honed your skills here before becoming a Sword God."

Zhang Huanyun had never walked this path and was not very clear about the insurmountable barrier between the three realms of mind, soul, and spirit, but he could judge the difficulties involved from Cao Dezhi's experience.
