Chapter 1016 The Imprisoned Dragon God

"Hmph, I'll let him off the hook for now, out of respect for you."

The cloaked man snorted coldly, and the dagger in his hand disappeared, indicating that he would no longer attack the Soul Singer.

Seeing this, Dao Yan also released his grip, took a step back, and stood there expressionless, like a heartless robot.

"Oh dear, we really have to thank Brother Daoyan."

The Soul Singer escaped the threat of the dagger, gracefully took out a handkerchief and wiped the wound on her neck. After wiping, the wound had disappeared.

"I told you, you're still useful to me."

Dao Yan said coldly, "Time is limited. The Power Tournament has been going on for ten minutes. You'd better hurry up."

The Soul Singer knew everyone was getting impatient, and if he kept them in suspense any longer, not only the cloaked man but even Tianhuang was getting restless. He didn't want to fight with a brainless brute.

He turned to look at Lu Li, "Prisoner of Demons, it's your turn."

Lu Li didn't say much and released Moro directly. He was still managing the Power Tournament on the other side, and he knew better than anyone else present how urgent the time was.

As soon as Moro was released, he cried out in panic, "Lord Lu Li, I beg you to kill me! Please... please stop torturing me!"

Lu Li coldly kicked Moro, pointed to the planet beneath his feet, and said, "Drain the life force from this planet."

Moro trembled as he steadied himself, daring not to resist in any way, and immediately began to do as Lu Li instructed. This was mainly because he had been tortured by Zamasu in the subspace for seven years, and now his spirit and energy were almost completely gone, and he was somewhat mentally unstable.

When the other explorers saw Moro in this state, some of them unconsciously distanced themselves from Lu Li, thinking that the Demon Prisoner was a psychopath.

The singer watched this scene with a smile, "Not bad, Moro is much more cooperative than I expected."

Moro didn't dare respond to the others, but simply began absorbing the life force of the planet below.

Soon, his power began to expand as he absorbed life force, restoring his youthful appearance from the aging face caused by Zamasu's torment, and his aura became even stronger.

During the process of absorbing life force, Moro was surprised to find that this planet was more powerful than any planet he had ever absorbed, and the energy it contained seemed to be inexhaustible.

As he absorbed the planet, he felt his power quickly return to its peak and continue to increase.

Moro absorbs planets not simply to become stronger, but the process of absorbing planets itself gives him pleasure; the increase in strength is merely a byproduct.

Now, in this state of euphoria, he gradually erased the psychological shadow that Zamas had tormented him, and as his power increased, he suddenly felt that he was capable again.

However, Moro remained outwardly calm, pretending to continue focusing on absorbing the planet's life force, because he observed that besides Lu Li, there were many other powerful individuals here. He needed to become stronger to a new level in order to have any hope of breaking free from Lu Li's control.

About five minutes later, Moro drained the planet of its last life force. The orange-yellow soil on the planet's surface turned grayish-white, exuding a sense of deathly stillness.

At the same time, Moro's power swelled to its peak, a power he could never have imagined in his life.

"Hahaha... Lu Li, you didn't expect this, did you? My power will be so great after absorbing the planet..."

Moro laughed wildly; in the explorer's scouting view, his overall attributes had reached a high of 275 points.

At this moment, Moro was absolutely certain that he had surpassed Lu Li and Zamasu, and he would repay them twofold for the humiliation and torment he had suffered.

As he spoke, Moro began to indiscriminately use his life-absorbing power on everyone. He believed that as long as he absorbed these people, he would become the only demon god in the universe, and he would not even care about angels and gods of destruction.

However, the next moment, a hand landed on Moro's shoulder.

It was a hand with very thick body hair. The black hair did not make Moro feel warm; instead, it gave him an icy chill from the bottom of his heart.

Standing behind Moro, Tianhuang looked at Lu Li over Moro's shoulder with a cruel smile on his face. "This guy is useless now, isn't he?"

"The treasure chest is mine."

Lu Li said calmly.

"You talk as if you can reveal it yourself."

Tianhuang made a sarcastic remark, and the next moment, he lightly patted Moro's shoulder, and Moro gradually turned into dust amidst terrified howls.

Lu Li's pupils also contracted, because he realized that Tianhuang had only lightly patted Moro, and the physical force used was not strong, but at that moment a rather domineering force entered Moro's body, just like pure real damage, directly wiping Moro away.

Ignoring the minor incident, the singer produced a harp and began to play melodious notes. As the music played, the already dead planet shattered into pieces, turning into dust and scattering into the void of space.

When everything was stripped away, a twisted ring appeared inside, like a golden black hole. The ring twisted and rotated, and the surrounding spacetime changed accordingly.

"Is the Dragon God imprisoned here?"

Seeing this, Tianhuang asked curiously, scratching his face twice as he spoke, as if he was a little anxious.

"To be precise, the Dragon God is trapped in an anomaly in time and space."

The Soul Singer explained, "This ring is merely the entrance to the prison. The planet outside was designed by the High Priest. In principle, this entrance will only be revealed when the planet dies naturally. However, if we wait normally, it will take 20 billion years. Moro's power can accelerate this process."

As he spoke, he walked to the circle. However, although the planets outside had disappeared, there was still an invisible barrier in the center of the circle, blocking everyone's way.

"Brother Daoyan, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."

The Soul Singer began by explaining that he had assigned tasks to each of the core participants, and each person only knew their own task. In this situation where information was not shared, his role as the organizer became necessary.

Moreover, he did not reveal the final step in releasing the Dragon God, which to some extent ensured the safety of his cooperation with these pioneers.

Upon hearing this, Dao Yan walked to the circle and discovered a row of ethereal energy buttons in the center of the circle, like a password. Only by entering the correct password could the channel be opened.

No wonder you wanted to call me here.

Dao Yan observed the cipher sequence above and discovered that it was a 49-digit cipher.

"This must have been designed by the High Priest. Only he knows the password. If we force our way through or enter the wrong password, this entrance will be destroyed, and the Dragon God Salama will be locked forever in the singularity of spacetime."

The Soul Singer explained to the puzzled crowd, "The High Priest probably thought the Dragon God was still useful, which is why he left some escape routes."

This is a reasonable speculation. This can be seen from the design. If they really didn't want the Dragon God to return, there would be no need to design a seal that could be opened. They could simply keep the Dragon God Salama in the spacetime singularity permanently.

But the High Priest merely strengthened the defenses, setting a password that no one else could crack, leaving himself a backdoor, indicating that the High Priest believed the Dragon God Salama was still useful to the universe. "How do we get in?"

Tianhuang was the most impatient. "Stealing the password from the High Priest is as unrealistic as assassinating the Omni-King directly."

"Don't worry, Brother Daoyan will have a solution."

The soul singer said with a smile.

Dao Yan didn't explain, but simply closed his eyes and stood in the center of the circle. After a few breaths, he raised his hand and casually shot out forty-nine streams of Primordial Purple Qi, which hit the energy buttons one after another. In an instant, the forty-nine digits of the password were entered.

"Hey, what if I typed it wrong..."

Tianhuang shouted loudly, trying to convince Daoyan that he was just making things up, but before he could finish speaking, a rumbling spinning sound rang out in the void.

The ring began to rotate in reverse, and the barrier in the central area opened up, revealing a colorful, twisted passage.

"You can go in."

Dao Yan stepped aside to indicate that his work was finished, but he did not go in first because he remained wary of the singer.

After all, the other party is a rule-breaker, and it's hard to say whether this whole incident was a conspiracy by the other party to kill the hunter.

The singer shrugged and was the first to walk into the passage. "Those who have work, come along. Those who don't, just stay outside and keep watch."

Seeing the singer go in, Tianhuang followed, followed closely by Daoyan and the cloaked man. Lu Li thought for a moment and then followed as well.

Although the Soul Singer's task for him was simply to obtain Moro, he was always uneasy if he didn't personally check on the Dragon God's situation.

After some hesitation, a few of the other explorers stayed outside, while the rest followed.

After walking through the colorful tunnel for a while, they encountered another obstacle.

“Singer, you never mentioned that such a thing existed before.”

Dao Yan frowned slightly as he looked at the passage that suddenly seemed to have no way forward. Before them stood another barrier, the greatest masterpiece of the angel race. Like the outer barrier, it was very difficult to break through by force.

Dao Yan punched the twisted barrier blocking his path, but it only caused ripples and did not break the barrier.

Seeing this, the other explorers looked grim, wondering if the High Priest hadn't left a way out at all, and if the password outside was just a joke played on those who wanted to unseal the Dragon God.

"I'm sorry, I just didn't mention it to Brother Daoyan."

The Soul Singer stepped aside as he spoke, “Only the external devices will trigger destruction; the barriers here can be broken through by force.”

At this moment, Tianhuang stretched his shoulders and walked over, grinning, "Isn't this a perfect match for my major? Move aside, let me give it a try."

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a series of booming sounds, and within ten seconds, the barrier blocking the road was completely shattered.

Tianhuang flexed his wrists, seemingly still unsatisfied, and raised an eyebrow at Daoyan, "This barrier isn't very strong."

Dao Yan stood aside without saying a word, offering no response to Tian Huang's childish provocation.

This time there were no more obstacles in the passage, and the group walked to the end in one breath. After passing through, they arrived at the spacetime singularity mentioned by the Soul Singer.

Time here seems to stand still, specifically in that entropy increase hardly occurs, or is very difficult to occur.

Even for these explorers at the late or peak of the eighth rank, it was difficult to move around here; walking was a challenge, and everything seemed to move very slowly.

"We need to hurry, because our perceived time is inaccurate from the external time."

"That's what the soul singer said."

"So, where is the Dragon God? It's pitch black here and there's nothing here."

Tianhuang said in confusion, "In this place, my senses are severely limited. I can only see with my eyes, but in the pitch-black environment, I can't see anything at all."

He gave the Soul Singer a dangerous look, "You didn't just lure us here, did you?"

"Please be patient, everyone. The Dragon God has spoken..."

The singer raised his hand and plucked the strings of his harp as he spoke, and the bright notes danced around him, “...Isn’t it right in front of us?”

As his words fell, a large number of bright musical notes burst forth, illuminating the space.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li saw a figure in the central area of ​​this not-so-large space. Four chains extended from the four sides to the central area, and the ends of the chains were very thin, turning into several hooks that pierced through the collarbone of the creature.

Seemingly numb from the long passage of time, the sleeping creature awoke to the light, and when it raised its head, it was a human face.

However, this human man looked very old and had dragon horns on his forehead.

His clothes were still intact, without any signs of wear and tear, mainly because time here was almost frozen, so the items naturally wouldn't decay.

No one knows how many years this man has been imprisoned here, but Lu Li, who once made a wish with the Dragon Ball, immediately sensed that this was the Dragon God Salama, because He had an aura similar to that of the Dragon Ball.

"Did the primordial angels send you?"

The man spoke in a very ancient language, but inexplicably, everyone could understand him, as if he were communicating with them on a spiritual level.

Faced with the man's questioning, the explorers remained silent for a moment.

Seeing this, the man shook his head. "Give up. I will never accept such a thing as the king of the world. The pride of the dragon race will not be succumbed to the eternal passage of time. There will always be a warrior who will stand up and overturn this distorted order."

The man only said two sentences, but he convinced the explorers of his identity and made them realize the conflict between the Dragon God, the High Priest, and the Omni-King.

However, not all explorers were patient enough to ponder the vast amount of information contained within. Tianhuang and Luli were examples of this; one was inherently impatient, while the other sensed that the Power Tournament had reached a critical moment.

The perceived time of people inside the spacetime singularity is slowed down, while the power tournament outside is almost over.

Lu Li's shadow clones kept delaying the game, which the Omni-King found unsatisfying, so he sternly warned Lu Li to play normally.

If they can't release the Dragon God Salama soon, the Omni-King will have to start playing Candy Crush.
