Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 89 The sea is finally liberated, Tang Hao is unwilling, the spirit of the plane erupts!
After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Nan Liujing's pace quickened considerably.

As the sunlight fell on his shoulders, and he moved five hundred meters away from the golden ancient tree, he suddenly paused, as if a faint voice was echoing in his mind.

Looking back, Nan Liujing saw that Poseidon Island was still as beautiful as ever, and nothing unusual had happened.

With a slight frown, Nan Liujing suppressed his inner doubts, his soul power surged beneath his feet, and he flew close to the water on the vast surface of the Sea God Lake, quickly leaving the island's boundaries.

The brilliant sunlight made the golden leaves of the ancient golden tree appear as pure as gold, and an aged figure materialized in an almost transparent form.

His body was hunched over, and his whole body was filled with a reddish-gold light. His beard and long hair dragged on the ground, making him look as if he were covered in body hair. However, his eyes were extremely clear and did not look as weathered as his appearance suggested.

"Could it be that Tang San has really returned?"

"It's good that you're back. If things continue like this, in five hundred years at most, the source of life in the plane that I can control will be completely exhausted."

The old man muttered to himself, watching the departing boy, his gaze gradually drifting into the distance.

After leaving Shrek Academy, Nan Liujing returned to the Heavenly Spirit Tower without stopping and immediately found his mature and elegant teacher.

To use the Vast Ocean Crystal to break Tang San's control over the ocean, we must first go to the ocean.

But before he could speak, Leng Yaozhu happened to have something to discuss with him.

"Gu Yue has decided to withdraw from Donghai Academy?" Nan Liujing wasn't too surprised. Tang Wulin had his Golden Dragon King bloodline stolen twice, so she probably had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. Staying at Donghai Academy would just be a waste of time.

Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "Last time during my month-long vacation, I sent her to experience the Soul Spirit Research Institute. I didn't expect this child to give me such a huge surprise. Several research ideas she proposed reduced the production cost of the original ten-year artificial soul spirit by 20%. The council is currently discussing whether to lower the selling price of the ten-year artificial soul spirit so that more soul masters can afford to buy soul spirits."

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "This is a good thing. The drop in the price of soul spirits will allow more soul masters from less privileged backgrounds to reduce the time wasted in acquiring soul spirits."

Leng Yaozhu was in a great mood. "Your teacher has given you a task."

“Please speak,” Nan Liujing said.

Leng Yaozhu said, "Since you have plenty of free time at Shrek Academy, take a leave of absence to go to Donghai City in place of the teacher and bring Yue'er with you. I plan to have her temporarily join the research institute."

"It's like someone's just delivering a pillow to someone who's about to go to sleep," Nan Liujing thought with a chuckle, and replied, "No problem."

"By the way, why did you suddenly come back today? Is something wrong?" Leng Yaozhu suddenly remembered that her beloved disciple had rushed back, so there must be something on her mind. She had already said a lot.

Nan Liujing shook his head and said, "I just want to see you."

A slight smile appeared on Leng Yaozhu's delicate lips: "The teacher won't be going anywhere."

Nan Liujing remained silent, gazing at his beautiful and charming teacher before him. Perhaps it was the revelation of his feelings after that drunken incident that created a special, ambiguous connection between them.

Both of them knew what was going on, but they kept the ambiguous lines under control.

Leng Yaozhu stepped forward, placed her delicate hand on Nan Liujing's head, and said softly, "You've almost grown taller than your teacher in the blink of an eye."

"Alright, the sooner the better..."

The words froze, and Leng Yaozhu stood there, stunned, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

But then Nan Liujing took a step forward, opened his strong arms, and gently hugged her, forming a simple embrace.

They parted ways immediately. Nan Liujing did not linger on the teacher's fragrant body and voluptuous figure, and turned to leave.

It wasn't until the door closed that Leng Yaozhu came to her senses. Feeling the warmth and scent lingering on her long dress, she bit her red lips like a young girl, her delicate hand instinctively going to her chest, feeling her heart pounding faster.
"They're getting bolder and bolder."

……

High in the sky, the Black Demon Soul Guidance Helicopter quickly departed Shrek City and headed towards East Sea City.

Nan Liujing sat upright in the control position, communicating with Xia Mi in his mind.

"I really didn't expect you to have obtained a divine artifact related to the sea god of your world so quickly." Xia Mi couldn't hide her surprise.

Nan Liujing exclaimed, "I didn't expect to get it so easily. By the way, Sister Xia, what's the next step?"

Xia Mi's smile was as bright as ever. "You just need to go to the beach. Leave the rest to me."

"Thank you." Nan Liujing expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"Hmm." Xia Mi hummed lightly.

The two had just finished their conversation when the phone rang.

The caller ID clearly showed Na'er's name.

Recalling the little girl's bright and charming appearance, full of spirit, Nan Liujing unconsciously smiled, "Na'er."

"Brother." Na'er seemed to be in a bad mood on the other end of the phone.

"You don't sound very happy," Nan Liujing said with a serious expression. "Who made my little princess angry?"

The title "Little Princess" resonated deeply with Na'er, and a sweet smile appeared in her pure purple eyes as she said, "I just finished a batch of cultivation tasks and came to find my master's wife, but I overheard the head of the teaching department calling her, saying that some students from the inner courtyard were criticizing you for not selling them spirit-forging metals."

Nan Liujing raised an eyebrow: "Did you stab them with the Silver Dragon Spear?"

“They’re not that violent,” Na’er grumbled. “They just asked their teacher’s wife to assign them tasks like cleaning the toilets in the outer courtyard teaching building.”

"..." Nan Liujing was embarrassed. Making those nobles in the inner courtyard clean the toilets in the outer courtyard was ruthless.

He praised with a serious expression, "Well done!"

"Hehe." Na'er smiled gently. "By the way, brother, when are you free? Would you like to go to the movies with me?"

Nan Liujing thought about it and realized that he hadn't played with Na'er for a long time. "We can watch a movie, but you'll have to wait a few days. I'm busy right now."

"Then tell me when you're done." The girl's voice was as melodious as a clear spring.

The two quickly hung up the phone. Far away in the inner courtyard, in Ya Li's office, the stunningly beautiful girl with silver hair and purple eyes stared at the movie poster on her phone screen with a silly grin.

What to do when my younger sister loves me too much (Part 2)

The Black Demon Soul Guidance Helicopter, marked with the identity of the Heavenly Phoenix, passed through major cities of the Federation without being inspected at all.

Upon arriving in Donghai City, the stars shone brightly, and the bright moonlight blended with the city's neon lights, creating a magnificent scene.

Watching the East China Sea Spirit Pagoda being left behind by the Black Demon Helicopter, like a night bat venturing deep into the vast ocean.

"almost."

After venturing two hundred kilometers into the ocean, Nan Liujing finally heard Xia Mi's voice in his mind.

"Are there any soul-guided satellites nearby?" Nan Liujing nodded and asked.

"No connection was detected," the AI ​​responded immediately.

“Very good,” Nan Liujing said. “Next, suspend the aircraft a hundred meters above the sea and open the hatch.”

"Yes, sir," the AI ​​replied.

The helicopter door opened, the sea breeze blew, ruffling her hair. Nan Liujing stood on the edge, gazing down.

On the distant horizon where the sea meets the sky, only darkness shrouded everything. Moonlight pierced through the thin clouds, casting dappled patterns of light on the dark, tranquil sea. Occasionally, the silhouettes of sea spirit beasts venturing out at night could be seen, but they were generally not particularly powerful species.

The nearshore area is no longer a paradise for spirit beasts.

"Bring out the divine artifact," Xia Mi said.

Nan Liujing flipped his hand, and a rhombus-shaped crystal appeared. As if because they had come to the sea, the water ripples inside the crystal became more intense, and it began to faintly emit a blue-gold glow.

“It resonated with you. This artifact is indeed related to the sea god of your world.” Seeing this, Xia Mi poured her powerful divine soul energy into the crystal.

The crystal in the vast ocean suddenly shone with an even more dazzling brilliance.

hum~
The air trembled, and Nan Liujing stared intently, soon seeing a trident-shaped light and shadow appear on the surface of the crystal. The next moment, a blue light swept across, and his consciousness entered the inner world of the crystal.

Just like the seabed, schools of fish swim around.

Nan Liujing saw Xia Mi's stunning figure standing not far away, looking up at the trident that emitted a blue-gold light, which also contained a little green-gold light.

"Sister Xia." Nan Liujing stepped forward.

Xia Mi crossed her arms over his massive chest and said calmly, "The sea god of your world is truly wicked."

Nan Liujing asked in confusion, "Is there any explanation for this?"

"Did you see the green-gold light spot next to the trident's shadow?" Xia Mi pointed. "Yes, I saw it," Nan Liujing nodded.

Xia Mi said in a deep voice, "This trident-shaped light and shadow can transfer the life essence of your Douluo plane."

Nan Liujing didn't react at first, but suddenly the image of Yun Ming saying that the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal would automatically fly back if it didn't return within three days flashed into his mind. His pupils contracted slightly. "So, this crystal is like a bloodsucking worm?"

"A good analogy." Xia Mi praised, but then a look of speculation appeared on her pretty face. "I'm wondering, logically speaking, if the source of life is transferred, the core of life in the plane should be able to sense that something is wrong, so why didn't it resist?"

Nan Liujing said in a deep voice: "The Douluo plane is invaded by powerful enemies from the Abyss, and the soul beasts have been wiped out. In addition, humans have over-exploited resources, causing the plane's origin to weaken. Is it possible that these are the reasons why the core of life in the plane did not detect the problem?"

Xia Mi pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense." After a moment, she curled her red lips into a cold smile, "First, I'll erase the mark the sea god left on the ocean, and then I'll leave a divine imprint on this crystal. After you return it, I can secretly sense it and see what secrets are hidden behind this crystal."

Nan Liujing hesitated, but he vaguely sensed that A Yin's ability to become the core of the plane was due to the explosion that caused the Golden Tree's main body, Old Man Jin, to perish or be seriously injured, giving A Yin the opportunity to usurp the throne, and also because of the help of the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal.

Thinking about it carefully, Tang San made his parents the masters and cores of the plane without much effort, and could even perfectly ignore the God of Destruction to accomplish these things, as can be seen from the auspicious beast.

However, the fact that the two of them became the masters and cores of the plane very late indicates that Tang San's plan was premeditated and therefore he was unable to complete the transformation directly with the power of a god-king.

This explains why Ah Yin said that Tang San helped her become the core of the plane.

After all, these two are not like Da Ming and Er Ming, who are just superficial brothers. Tang Hao and A Yin are real second-level gods. It's just that after the God Realm was gone, they were unable to exert their full strength.

Xia Mi acted immediately, her soul striking the trident's light and shadow like an arrow.

In an instant, it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open. A violent shaking swept through the crystal's inner world. Nan Liujing quickly steadied himself and looked up. On the trident's light and shadow, countless cracks had appeared. A power belonging to the Sea God was frantically attacking it with deadly force.

Click!

In less than half a minute, endless divine light was projected from the edge of the trident's light and shadow crack, and the next moment it suddenly shattered like a mirror.

Xia Mi's solemn voice rang out, "Liu Jing, jump into the sea with Crystal."

When Nan Liujing regained consciousness, he looked down at the inky ocean below the cabin and jumped without hesitation.

With a splash, waves sprayed everywhere.

The once dark seawater began to be tinged with the blue-gold radiance of the Han Hai Qian Kun crystal, as pure as the azure sky.

Under Nan Liujing's focused gaze, blue-gold light patterns pulsed continuously across the crystal's surface, spreading across the entire ocean like a divine oracle.

"I am the Sea God Xia Mi!"

Xia Mi's majestic voice, accompanied by patterns of light, fell into every inch of the ocean. In an instant, countless marine creatures were brought to a standstill, from animals to sea spirit beasts.

"The sea is always free; I command in the name of God to dispel its confinement."

Rumble!
The sea began to boil, and endless blue-gold light shot straight into the sky, condensing into a giant bow that pierced through heaven and earth. The power of the ocean transformed into an arrow that was a thousand meters long and incredibly sharp.

Wherever the arrow pointed, the sky trembled, the thin clouds in the sky were torn apart in an instant, and even the moonlight appeared distorted.

The arrow left the bow, and the sea trembled!
Nan Liujing's gaze fell on the arrowhead. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he saw that beneath the vast and boundless sea, a golden light was gathering, and a trident-shaped light and shadow broke through the water, its sharp point bursting with brilliance, like a blazing sun hanging in the sky.

With a deafening roar, the arrowheads and halberd tips collided, freezing the heavens and earth, yet they did not shatter. The sea surged with terrifying waves, as if countless sea dragons were churning within them. Under the darkness, the flat sea surface seemed to suddenly rise like mountain peaks.

Such a scene was enough to make even a Limit Douluo tremble with fear.

Fortunately, the Vast Ocean Crystal transformed into a space to protect Nan Liujing, preventing her from being accidentally injured.

At that time, every drop of seawater on Douluo Star was clashed by two different divine powers, two different understandings of the ocean's origin, and they fought fiercely.

Where is the spirit of the plane?

Xia Mi's solemn voice echoed in Nan Liujing's mind.

Douluo Star, within a dimensional space.

The massive, dark gold hammerhead forcefully suppressed a ball of light, and on the hammerhead, a majestic figure sat cross-legged with his eyes closed—it was Tang Hao himself.

Xia Mi's voice bypassed Tang Hao's senses and quietly entered the suppressed ball of light.

Upon hearing the call, a pair of eyes slowly opened inside the ball of light.

"Once I shatter the mark left on the sea by the Sea God Tang San, you must immediately mobilize the power of the ocean to severely suppress Tang San's father, Tang Hao."

Xia Mi and Nan Liujing had no idea about the situation of the dimensional spirit, so asking this question was just a formality.

If the spirit of the plane has already perished, Nan Liujing can only express his regret.

At that time, arrows continuously drew upon the power of the ocean on the sea surface, and a magnificent divine light surged around them, brightening the dim sky.

In contrast, the Trident could draw upon less and less ocean power until it finally cracked with the first sound.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound echoed through the sky, and the trident, like porcelain, began to crack all over its surface, finally ending with a soft shout.

"break!"

With a bang, the trident shattered completely.

The billions of points of light, like a meteor shower, quickly fell into the sea.

Nan Liujing clenched his fist in excitement.

From this moment on, Tang San's control over the ocean of Douluo Star completely vanished!

...

"This is... the power of the sea!"

Within the ball of light, the consciousness of the dimensional spirit trembled violently. It initially thought it was an illusion, but when the familiar yet unfamiliar power resonated with it again, it realized that it had not misheard. The ocean power, which had been lost for tens of thousands of years, had truly returned.

The ocean covers 70% of the Douluo Star's area, which means that the power it contains is many times stronger than that on land.

"Tang Hao!"

The flames of revenge ignited, and the spirit of the plane unleashed a chilling killing intent in its words.

The endless ocean's essence surged into the dimensional space like a tsunami, illuminating the entire chaotic world with a dazzling light.

With such a massive scale, how could Tang Hao not react?

He suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw shocked him.

"The power of the ocean? How is that possible?"

The ocean's primal energy, imbued with a vengeful will, relentlessly bombarded the suppressive power that had transformed into a ball of light. This ocean primal energy, which accounted for 70% of the power of Douluo Star, was clearly superior to the land primal energy, which covered no more than 30% of the planet's area.

Click.

The light orb formed by the final suppressing power shattered, and the will of the plane spirit leaped out from within the Five Fingers Mountain like the Great Sage, transforming into a thousand-foot giant. Its fist, which had been suppressing ten thousand years of anger, slammed fiercely towards Tang Hao, who was sitting cross-legged on the Clear Sky Hammer.

The vast ocean sensed the wrath of the plane's spirit; its azure light instantly turned blood red, resembling a monstrous sea of ​​blood.

"The Douluo plane has been destroyed because of you. Take this punch!"

The Spirit of the Plane roared, its sound waves shaking the entire void! It was no longer the weakling that had been suppressed and plundered, but a supreme being that had regained control of the planet's origin!

Tang Hao's expression darkened. Facing the astonishingly powerful fist, he immediately gripped the Clear Sky Hammer and mobilized the terrestrial origin he had already controlled, attempting to resist it.

The Haotian Hammer struck out, and the terrifying power fluctuations almost shattered the surrounding space, the distorted ripples pulverizing countless laws.

However, when the two touched, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically. The Clear Sky Hammer lost its strength and flew out of his palm. His body faced the fist directly. The moment he was hit, his physical body exploded on the spot, leaving only his soul.

"An eye for an eye." The spirit of the plane was extremely pleased to have avenged its great grudge. "You have the mark of the sea god in your body, so I can't kill you on the spot, but I can rely on the erosion of time to wear you down step by step."

The giant waved his hand, and the sea of ​​blood transformed into countless chains, flowing out with a whooshing sound. In an instant, it sealed Tang Hao's soul, and no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.

"Spirit of the Plane, when my son returns, you will surely die!" Tang Hao roared in resentment. He had no idea what had happened or why the power of the ocean, which was controlled by his son, would be controlled by the Spirit of the Plane again.

The spirit of the plane said indifferently, "Let's pray that you can hold out until that day."

The giant clenched his fist, and the chains formed from the sea of ​​blood began to tighten. Tang Hao's soul was suppressed within them, and the intense pain made him unable to help but let out a painful howl.
