Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 243 Answer correctly and get a prize!

Although it was said that we would have a chat at the Tower of Holy Light, in reality, Angel City was in a time of crisis and had no time to entertain us.

The three elders accompanied the Douluo powerhouses in the hall, drinking tea and exchanging ideas, while also revealing the combat strength of the demon faction.

From this, we learn that the five demon lords are named respectively.

Alba, Ulrich, Diaz, Upton, Bruce.

The five individuals were roughly equal in strength. According to Yun Ming's previous records, the demon lord who wreaked havoc in the Yuanen family was a quasi-god, so the other lords were all at the same level.

Griffin smiled wryly, “After the plane is corrupted by evil forces, the power of us angels will be greatly reduced unless we are in a place protected by the Holy Light Tower. Otherwise, I alone would be enough to withstand two fallen ones.”

He said this, and the other two elders who were accompanying him also looked helpless.

Seeing that the Douluo powerhouses looked calm, Griffin felt less uneasy and said, "In addition, each Demon Lord has a special ace demon under his command. These demons were once extremely famous magical beasts in our Angel Plane, but they were later corrupted into demons. Their strength should not be underestimated, and they are no weaker than ordinary elders."

"Before we retreated into the land of the Holy Light, these great demons were always the vanguard, and thus committed countless crimes."

"Wait a minute," Nan Liujing suddenly spoke up, "Elder, are you saying that these great demons have always been the vanguard?"

Griffin, puzzled, nodded and said, "Yes. Without exception, before the plane collapsed, these great demons were always the primary henchmen responsible for clearing the way for the demon lords. I estimate that this time, with them mobilizing all their forces, the great demons will also be at the forefront."

“That makes things easier.” Nan Liujing smiled. “I didn’t want to use these fixed shells, but since we have the chance to clear them all at once, we can’t miss it.”

After saying that, Nan Liujing asked the crowd, "The five demon lords are all at the level of quasi-gods. Please choose one. Since there are many of us, we can fight two against one."

Upon hearing this, Griffin and the other two elders were stunned.

Leng Yaozhu spoke first: "That Alba, it's him. Who's in my group?"

“I’ll do it,” Nan Liujing said.

“Okay.” Leng Yaozhu immediately agreed. When husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break metal. Besides, the power of thunder, which is extremely strong and yang, is quite effective in suppressing the power of demons.

Ya Li spoke up at the right moment: "Liu Jing's strength is not yet at the level of a quasi-god, so I will be responsible for assisting him from the side."

Leng Yaozhu paused for a moment, then agreed, "It's fine with your help. After all, this isn't our own plane, so it's inevitable that those demons will have an advantage when fighting on their home turf."

With just a few simple words, the assignment of a demon lord was completed.

There are four left.

Before the group finished discussing team formation, Nan Liujing spoke up again: "We'll leave that demon lord named Wu Jie to Senior Titan. You can choose a teammate."

"A boil?"

Yuan Enzhentian seemed to realize something, and his tiger-like eyes suddenly gleamed as he looked at Nan Liujing.

Nan Liujing said in a deep voice, "The demon lord who invaded the Yuanen family back then was Wu Jie."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Entiandang and Yuan Entianshang clenched their fists tightly.

Seeing this, the Ruthless Douluo said solemnly, "In that case, I will cooperate with Brother Yuanen."

“Okay,” Yuan Enzhentian said in a deep voice.

There are three left.

Diaz was chosen by Le Zheng'en and Dong Zi'an.

Upton was chosen by Yu Guanzhi and Guan Yue.

Bruce was chosen by the father and son, Qian Gu Die Ting and Qian Gu Qing Feng.

The three elders of Griffin were completely dumbfounded.

So what should we do?

Should we applaud?
Nan Liujing finished his tea in one gulp, silently put down his teacup, and said to Griffin, "Elder, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Our Douluo Plane has contracted all the demon servants below and five demon lords above, and this requires payment."

Griffin said solemnly, "Of course. Please explain in detail."

Nan Liujing said, "Our Douluo plane is also surrounded by powerful enemies. The leader of that invader is even a true god. Therefore, we need the power of faith from your plane."

"it is good."

Griffin agreed on the spot without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing Nan Liujing's surprise, Griffin explained, "Actually, the energy that sustains the Holy Light Tower is the power of faith. If we can completely defeat the demons, reclaim our homeland, and spread light across the land again, what does it matter if we lose the power of faith? Besides, although our bloodline is inherited from the Angel God, the Angel God did not bestow the method to become a god. We might as well do him a favor since we have him around."

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "It's a deal."

...

Holy Light Pass.

Located 30 kilometers from Angel City, the area is surrounded by mountains and is filled with an extremely rich source of light, which flows down in the form of a waterfall of light visible to the naked eye. Dazzling light dust floats in the air, creating a magnificent sight.

A colossal pass stands at the foot of the mountain, resembling the Jialing Pass from the Douluo Continent 20,000 years ago, exuding an aura of impregnability.

Standing on the city wall and looking out, one can see a dark and unsettling world.

Outside the holy light shield, the sky was dark, with a dense aura of darkness obscuring the sun and clouds, and faintly floating purplish-black flames.

Above the fortress, the only source of light was the Holy Light Shield, but even so, the light could not penetrate the dark, thick clouds. If it did fall into them, everything would become bleak, making it impossible for those inside the fortress to see the outside world clearly.

At the outermost edge of the fortress stood ten spires, their surfaces radiating a warm yet majestic glow. Every moment, the spires emitted a vast power of light, which solidified into enormous angelic runes, keeping all evil spirits at bay.

The residents of Angel City have seen this scene many times before. Some brave warriors even carry angel runes and force their way out to scout the situation, hoping to bring back some resources from their former homeland.

The knowledge that a large-scale demon invasion was imminent was also due to the information brought back by these people.

At that time, the Holy Light Pass and its surrounding area had gathered more than 250,000 people, all of whom were capable of cultivation, regardless of age or gender, which was superior to the Douluo Continent.

On an open ground somewhere in the fortress, a number of Angel City warriors in armor were curiously observing the soldiers of the Central Legion's Special Operations Battalion.

Even though they were quite far away, it was still clear that these people from another world were assembling something.

Soon, the soldiers of the combat battalion retreated to one side, leaving only a few to conduct a final check.

A metal dragon head, which stunned the warriors, stood on the flat ground, over ten meters tall. The dragon's eyes shimmered with a dark, scarlet light, as if it were the head of a real dragon, which was still scanning the world with indifferent eyes.

On the surface of the dragon's head, there are many intricate spiral patterns, one after another, from top to bottom.

Some of the older mages of Angel City tried to figure it out, but they only got confused and couldn't make anything out of it.

"Brother, is this the weapon from your Douluo Continent?"

A young angel warrior responsible for maintaining order asked curiously.

The fully armed, stern-faced soldier nodded: "Yes, sir."

"How do you use this thing?" the warrior continued, "It doesn't look like the magical weapons we use."

A flicker of emotion crossed the soldier's eyes: "You'll find out when the war starts."

Inside the fortress's lounge.

The vast hall, with its live feed transmitted from the Douluo Continent's high-altitude satellite soul guide device, shocked the high-ranking officials of Angel City.

A holographic projection-like light screen floated in mid-air, displaying a scene that clearly showed the world beyond the pass.

The dark clouds that had swallowed the power of light seemed to be parted by an inexplicable force, and an incredibly wide plain became clearly and brightly visible.

The earth was cracked, and the cracks would occasionally spew out viscous slurry, staining the ground black and sticky. Fortunately, on the land far from the cracks, there were a few dead trees scattered about, but nothing else.

"What kind of magic is this?"

Griffin's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in astonishment.

Yu Guanzhi said calmly, "This isn't magic, it's soul-guided technology!"

"Soul Guidance Technology?" This term was undoubtedly unfamiliar to the people of Angel City, whose development system was more fantastical, and even the elders looked bewildered.

There are people in the picture.

"The Fierce Wolf Douluo, Dong Zi'an, suddenly spoke up."

Everyone quickly looked over and saw a group of people rushing towards Holy Light Pass. Griffin's expression shifted slightly: "They are the reconnaissance soldiers I sent out."

As soon as he said that, the screen's clarity dropped considerably.

The light screen then shifted, pointing towards the deeper plains, where countless figures were slowly converging on Holy Light Pass. Within the formation, several weapons resembling ancient catapults also appeared.

Griffin stood up abruptly: "They're here."

"Buzz!"

The urgent sound of war drums resounded throughout the entire formidable pass.

In an instant, fully armed angel warriors quickly took their positions, and the uneven city walls were soon filled with people.

The magical weapons placed on the city walls, after absorbing the power of light, turned a brilliant gold, and their mysterious runes exuded a chilling aura.

On the central platform, the powerful figures of Douluo Star did not appear; instead, elders such as Griffin faced the demon army directly.

After the scouts accepted the confirmation from the spire and placed the scouts inside, ten minutes slowly passed. Finally, from the darkness and haze, countless majestic, low, or eerie figures appeared. What was most striking was their perfectly aligned military formation.

Suddenly, the darkness seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and everything became clear. Five demon lords of different sizes slowly appeared, flapping their purple-gold wings.

"Griffin, we meet again."

A humanoid demon, over 25 meters tall, spoke indifferently to Xiong Guan. His upper body was completely naked, his skin charred black as if it had been scorched by fire, and the cracks in his skin resembled fissures in lava, as if hiding hellfire that could erupt at any moment.

Griffin coldly replied, "With the Holy Light Tower left behind by the Angel God, you will never be able to breach the Holy Light Pass."

"You're right."

Another demon lord spoke. He was also a humanoid demon, clad in a purple-gold robe, with solemn and dignified features. If it weren't for the two demon horns on his forehead, he could easily be mistaken for a normal human.

"The Holy Light Tower is still standing, and the Holy Light Shield will not be broken. But that's only possible in the hands of the Angel God. As for you... you're nothing but a bunch of fireflies putting up a last-ditch resistance."

"Hahaha."

Another demon lord, his body radiating intense heat, burst into wild laughter: "Servants, it's time to send out the good stuff."

The earth shook violently, and suddenly, streaks of dark green light shone through the hazy darkness.

The darkness was stirred up, and five dark green orbs of light, like cannonballs, roared towards the holy light shield.

The angel warriors on each platform instinctively gripped their weapons, their eyes solemn but without fear, for the holy light shield had never been broken.

Boom boom boom——

A series of booming sounds rang out on the golden holy light shield, splashing up strong ripples.

Just as the people of Angel City had expected, the Holy Light Shield remained intact without any signs of damage.

“If that’s all there is to it, then we can rest assured,” Griffin said coldly, observing the situation.

The five demon lords smiled without saying a word.

Soon, an anomaly occurred.

After the dark green light cluster exploded, it scattered countless energy particles, which fell on the surface of the shield like raindrops on banana leaves, and then slowly merged into it.

The holy light shield was immediately tinged with a dark green luster, and the areas covered by the light particles began to transform into crystals.

Hidden in the shadows, Yali exclaimed in surprise, "Such a rich natural life force! How could a demon possess such an ability?"

With his back against the wall, Nan Liujing said calmly, "The cooperation between the demons and the people of the magic plane is all for a special source crystal in the forbidden zone. It is likely the key to breaking the holy light shield."

Qian Gu Die Ting suddenly spoke up: "The longer you wait, the bigger my temper will become. I might kill that Bruce guy ahead of time and then steal your target."

Everyone was startled.

"Soon, don't rush," Nan Liujing chuckled.

"Crack!"

Under the watchful eyes of over 20,000 Angel City warriors, a piercing cracking sound rang out from the crystallized spot of the Holy Light Shield.

It's like a perfect oil painting with several holes poked in it.

This scene stunned everyone instantly, their faces freezing in shock, while the demon lords found it amusing.

"How is it? Is the shield broken yet?"

The demon lord, whose entire body was black, sneered.

"how is this possible?"

Even with allies from another world present, Griffin was still shocked. He never expected that these Fallen Ones would actually find a way to break through the shield.

“Griffin, stop activating the Holy Light Shield now. We can still preserve some angelic bloodlines by upholding our past kinship. But if we break into the Holy Light Pass, it’s uncertain whether any of the angels will survive.”

The last demon lord uttered seductive words.

The angel warriors all turned to look at their clan's Grand Elder.

Griffin remained silent.

The demon lords smirked. In truth, the source crystals they had obtained from the magic plane were quite limited, and they didn't want to start a full-scale war. Otherwise, these elders might have a backup plan that could kill any one of them.

So it's best to avoid fighting if possible.

After a long silence, Griffin said with a puzzled expression, "You five, did you bring all your servants with you?"

Alba replied honestly, "How can I completely subdue you without summoning all my servants?"

"That's good."

A sudden burst of laughter rang out.

Under the watchful eyes of the five demon lords and more than 20,000 angel warriors, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot into the sky. When the light dissipated, Nan Liujing's figure was revealed. He looked at the demons who were eyeing him menacingly outside the protective barrier with a smile.

"You are... a Soul Master from the Douluo Continent!"

The demonic boil's expression changed drastically. The holy light shield did not block the aura, and he could easily sense that something was wrong with the other party's aura.

Nan Liujing chuckled and said, "There's a prize for the correct answer!"

"Roar--"

A violent gust of air surged forth, rattling the armor of the angel warriors. A deafening dragon roar resounded, and two suns rose from two platforms behind them, hurtling towards the demon army outside the protective barrier like meteors tearing through the night sky.

"run!"

The Demon Lord Wu Jie, who had been incredibly assertive just a second ago, turned pale the next second and was almost the first to turn around and run away into the distance.

The other four demon lords were filled with suspicion. After they carefully sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the dark red and bright gold orbs, their majestic faces collapsed. Terrified, they flapped their wings and fled into the distance.

The demon lord was powerful enough and fast enough, but the demons in the army, from the great demons to the lowly demon servants, were all panicked.

Just as more than fifty great demons were attempting to flee with their monarch, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the sky, like the Buddha slapping down a colossal palm that blotted out the sun, slamming all the flying great demons back to the ground.

The entire space quietly distorted, cracked, and trembled.

The next moment, a dazzling and brilliant light burst forth, like a hurricane tearing everything apart, illuminating the entire plain and the demon army that numbered over a million.

The intense energy surge unleashed a terrifying heatwave, and countless demonic servants vanished without a trace, leaving not even ashes, before the angelic warriors' stunned gazes. Demons of all other levels also disintegrated.

Two dazzling and radiant flowers of soul light burst forth from the earth and bloomed on the vast and boundless plain.

"This is soul-guided technology?"

Griffin and the other elders were stunned into silence.

Even the most powerful area-of-effect magic could never cause the same level of destruction.

Shhhhhh.

Several streaks of light flashed out from beside Nan Liujing; they were the impatient Douluo powerhouses.
