Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1018 The Trapped Dragon Ascends to Heaven
boom--

A sound like a hammer striking iron rang out, sparks illuminating pairs of eyes, and the chain that had been slashed by the knife was clearly broken in half.

"Holy crap! What kind of crazy mechanism is this?!"

However, Tianhuang suddenly shouted angrily, turning around and grabbing the Soul Singer's collar, "You didn't know about this before?!"

He was so angry because he saw that the chains that Lu Li had severed were rapidly repairing themselves; in the time it took him to speak, they were already mostly healed.

Even the Dragon God frowned upon seeing this, "The primordial angel actually concealed such a law within it..."

The chains made of the Boundary Stone were already difficult to break. If they could also repair themselves, wouldn't they be impossible to break?

However, Lu Li, as the person involved, did not comment. He simply kept slashing at the gap in the chain without saying a word.

Bang, bang, bang! The sound of gunfire rang out continuously. Amidst the sparks, the chains were repaired and then broken again. However, under Lu Li's high-frequency attacks, the chains were soon on the verge of breaking.

"It works!"

Tianhuang shouted excitedly.

But it was as if he were poisonous; as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li's progress seemed to stall. The last chain was exceptionally strong, and no matter how he tried to cut it, even though it looked like it was about to collapse, it just wouldn't break.

"Shut up."

Dao Yan, seeing this, said to Tian Huang that he thought Tian Huang's words were venomous.

At the same time, he stepped forward, grabbed one end of the chain, and helped Lu Li adjust it to a more convenient angle for slashing, intending to use his ability to help.

Lu Li remained silent, then unleashed three consecutive slashes, leaving the final connection of the chain extremely fragile. A dark substance adhered to the connection and continued to corrode it.

Immediately afterwards, he sheathed his sword, lowered his body, and cupped his hands, creating a highly concentrated beam of light in his palms.

The white energy sphere was infused with pitch black, but that wasn't all; dark purple destructive energy was also added. The three energies swirled together, and a terrifying aura of destruction emanated from Lu Li's hand.

"This madman... isn't he afraid of it going out of control and exploding?"

Tianhuang complained, subconsciously moving further away, because he sensed that the energy in Lu Li's hand was extremely unstable, definitely not a move Lu Li would use normally, but an unfinished dangerous energy skill.

Lu Li did not explain, but continued to pour power into the energy ball in his hand. Because he had the Immortal Spirit Seed, his soul source seemed inexhaustible. In an instant, he had poured energy into the energy ball equivalent to all of his soul source.

Just when he felt he was about to lose control, he suddenly unleashed this devastating modified Kamehameha forward, striking the broken chain that was being repaired.

boom--

In that instant, Dao Yan, who was in charge of holding the traction chain, felt as if his ears were about to go deaf. In fact, a lot of blood flowed from his ears, and his internal organs felt a churning.

The entire spatial singularity trembled, and a large hole appeared in the void behind the chains. It was Lu Li's attack that pierced through the entire spatial singularity!
Amidst the roar, everyone looked at the chain they cared about most, only to find that it had been completely broken by the blow. In the face of absolute violence, repair capabilities were utterly insignificant.

"call--"

Lu Li finished his work and let out a long breath.

At the same time, the entire spatial singularity trembled, as the Dragon God began to exert his power.

If even one chain breaks, the barrier will no longer be complete, and naturally, it will no longer be able to seal him.

The dragon god straightened his aged body, raised his hand and grabbed a chain inside his collarbone. He crushed the chain with his bare hands without using much force. Then, he pulled the other three chains out of his collarbone as well.

The old dragon god stretched his body, and the energy within him began to become active, though it appeared somewhat depleted.

At this moment, Lu Li stepped forward, took out a bottle of magic beans, and handed it to the Dragon God, saying, "Senior, please give it a try."

The Dragon God didn't stand on ceremony. Knowing that the situation was urgent and there was no time for formalities, he opened the bottle and ate all the Senzu Beans in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, people saw that the Dragon God's skin began to become younger and his posture became more upright, but the energy that they could initially sense disappeared, as if the Dragon God had become a being from another dimension.

"Thank you, young humans."

The Dragon God expressed his gratitude, then his body trembled, and this spacetime singularity was completely shattered, along with the external passage.

At this moment, the angels who were fighting the explorers outside all showed expressions of astonishment. This was a rare emotion for angels, because it signified their transcendent power.

Now, an even more powerful and mysterious force has emerged, a force that is both familiar and foreign to the 'young' angels.

They sensed a similar power to that of the Super Dragon Balls from this force, but the aura was too vast, almost as unfathomable as the Omni-King!
Roar--

A dragon's roar resounded throughout the universe, shaking all twelve universes. The sound waves transcended dimensions and time, reaching the arena of the Tournament of Power, causing the Grand Priest to suddenly change color.

The Grand Priest didn't think anyone could break through the sealing barrier he had set up, because he knew the Dragon Balls were still cooling down, and besides the power of the Super Dragon Balls, only the Omni-King had the ability to break the seal.

So after confirming that all the Super Dragon Balls in all universes were working properly, he simply sent angels to capture the traitors, while he himself remained by Zeno's side in case of any unforeseen events.

But now this dragon's roar tells him the outcome: the dragon god Salama has been freed!

"That voice...it sounds so familiar..."

The King stood in the stands, looking blankly, but he was still a child at heart, and his attention was quickly diverted to the ring.

"The time has come, but I'm not happy at all, so let's just erase the entire universe."

Omni-King stood up and said that, according to the original rules, the match time was limited to 48 minutes.

Although the rules state that if the number of survivors in the universe is the same at the end of time, there will be a possibility of parallel survival or the addition of new special rules.

But it's clear that Zeno doesn't want everyone to survive side by side. In fact, apart from Universe 6 and Universe 10 being destroyed, all the other universes are still alive, though the number of survivors varies.

Apart from Universe 7 being at full capacity, all other universes suffered losses to varying degrees. In Universe 3, where Aizen resided, and in Universe 9, where his sister was located, only Aizen and his sister were left.

According to the rules, they would be judged as losing in this situation, so it is understandable that the Omni-King wants to eliminate them.

However, according to the original rules, Universe 7 should have been able to survive, but the Omni-King is clearly not going to abide by the previously announced rules.

The main problem was that the previous rules didn't explicitly prohibit match-fixing, leading all the universes that were trying to stall for time to throw matches. While the Omni-King was naive, he wasn't truly stupid and naturally saw through Lu Li's deliberate manipulation. Therefore, the Omni-King found the competition boring and decided to destroy all the universes.

"Lord Omni-King!"

The cosmic players who remained on the field were furious and shocked, as were their universe's God of Destruction, though they seemed powerless to even refute him.

Beerus's face was gloomy, and the energy of the God of Destruction was surging around him, but Whis raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, preventing him from moving.

"Lord Beerus, you can't go against the Omni-King's decision."

Whis's voice also carried a hint of sadness, but he did not intend to go against the Omni-King's will.

"Weiss, I never thought we would say goodbye in this way."

Beerus spoke in a low voice, knowing that only the universe and the gods of destruction would disappear, but the angels, as 'true gods,' would not.

This is just a one-sided farewell. He will die along with his universe, while Whis will live on and perhaps one day be reactivated to train a new God of Destruction to go to a new universe.

"What's going on, Xiao Quan? Didn't you say you wanted to watch the game? We haven't decided a winner yet."

Below, Wukong was also shouting, unable to accept this result.

Although he didn't know why Lu Li was messing around, he knew he had fought well, and according to the rules, shouldn't Universe 7 have already won?
This is a truth that even someone as simple-minded as him can understand. Since the Seventh Universe has the most people remaining in the arena, they should naturally be the ones to win.

"Wukong, you are my friend, I can spare you."

The Omni-King looked at Goku on the arena and said, "From now on, you can stay in the palace and play with me."

Even Goku was angered by Zeno's words. "Little Zeno, how can you be so unreasonable?"

"Lord Omni-King doesn't need to reason with you."

The High Priest then stepped forward, still smiling, and with a wave of his hand, he used his supreme power to suppress the entire arena. In an instant, all the protesting contestants were forced to the ground by this violence.

He turned to look at the Omni-King, "Lord Omni-King, do you still need Son Goku?"

"It seems he doesn't want to play with me anymore, so let's just wipe him out."

The Omni-King spoke calmly, his face expressionless.

"Xiao Quan!?"

Wukong shouted, not knowing why things had turned out this way.

"Wukong, there's no need to talk to him anymore. It's useless to talk to this kind of thing any more."

Lu Li said coldly from the side, "Because he is a pure god and cannot understand the value of life."

His aura surged, and he defied the Grand Priest's oppressive presence as he approached Aizen.

Lu Li's shadow clone already knew that the Dragon God had been freed, but their crisis did not seem to be resolved immediately, because the Dragon God also encountered unexpected trouble.

At this moment, outside the spacetime singularity of the sixth universe, the angels of the first four universes, who were trembling under the pressure of the Dragon God, had lost their ability to fight.

The Dragon God inhales and exhales energy in the universe. When he absorbs the energy of the universe, the galaxy dims, and when he exhales, life is born on the originally barren planets, and the planets with life become lush and green.

Seeing the Dragon God's actions, Lu Li felt a great weight lifted from his heart. Sure enough, the Dragon God was just as he had thought, an upright being.

This is easy to deduce, because the original theme of the Dragon Ball world was romantic adventure and a sense of youthful justice.

Later, when the creation setting of Dragon Ball was introduced, it was also explained that Dragon Balls are not tools used to fulfill selfish wishes. For example, the Namekian Dragon Balls are awarded to righteous warriors as medals of honor.

The same goes for Super Dragon Balls; they were originally created as a romantic tool to reward beings with a sense of justice and help them realize their dreams.

Therefore, the being that created these Dragon Balls must not be evil.

The Dragon God was imprisoned by the High Priest and the Omni-King, which may have concealed a deeper conspiracy. However, everything was too urgent, and Lu Li had no way of listening to the Dragon God explain the cause and effect to him.

"Poor angels, are you just mechanically following your father's orders...?"

The Dragon God looked down at the crushed angels. He did not kill them, but spoke with pity, "They are clearly intelligent beings, yet they do not think about right and wrong. Their blind obedience will be the beginning of destruction."

"Dragon God... Salama..."

The angel Avamo from the first universe looks like an old woman. He is the most knowledgeable of the angels, so he quickly guessed the identity of the Dragon God, and his tone was filled with fear.

Judging from the Dragon God's attitude and the fact that the Dragon God was secretly imprisoned, it is likely that this god, who existed before the creation of the world and was from the same era as the Omni-King and his father, had an unpleasant past with their father, the High Priest.

Once such beings escaped their confinement, it was no longer something that any cosmic angel or god of destruction could handle; the matter had even exceeded the control of their father, the High Priest.

Catastrophe is coming for the twelve universes, no, or rather, catastrophe is coming for the gods.

The dragon god Salama had no intention of harming any universe; he merely absorbed the energy of the universe. With each breath, new life was born, polluted planets were restored to purity, and destroyed planets were reborn.

But with each breath he took, his divine power increased, the power of antiquity reappeared, and the Dragon Balls, which had originally dimmed and turned to stone in the universe, now shone brightly again as their petrified outer layer peeled away.

"Dragon God! Our universe is about to be erased!!"

An explorer shouted from below, having learned of the crisis at the Tournament of Power through a message relayed by his companion: the Omni-King had decided to erase all universes participating in the tournament.

“These universes were not created by him, so of course he has no qualms about doing so.”

The Dragon God's expression was calm and resolute. "I will not allow this to happen. My power has already spread to the twelve universes."

The Dragon God's words revealed an astonishing amount of information. The explorers discovered that the creator god of the universe was probably not the Omni-King, but rather the old man with dragon horns who had truly created all the beings in the universe.

The origins of all worlds may lie with the Dragon God, including the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm's creator god, Remus, was also born under the Dragon God's power, which led to the creation of all the universes.
