Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 367 ---

Chu Yunxi's action shook the Sun and Moon Empire to their deepest core.

The display of her godly strength and power is enough to make Liu Kang tremble in disbelief. He was the one who commented that this woman wouldn't do a shit against the colossal abyssal portal, but the monitor before them showed differently.

It was out of this world, quite literally.

The power Chu Yunxi obtained through harsh training in the Desolate Ancient Battle Arena. And Divine Sparks left behind by genuine gods from Douluo Dalu 101 is no joking matter.

Unfortunately, Chu Yunxi couldn't get more than five Divine Sparks as others sparks in the Divine War Battlefield aren't compatible with her nature and martial soul. It also applies to the rest of Yunlong's companions when visiting the dead battlefield.

Unlike Yunlong, who possessed a neutral martial soul, they had to sacrifice a good chunk of their Spirit Energy to absorb the Divine Spark.

It was a good trade and definitely birthed more force within them.

For example, Chu Yunxi could create an extremely windy snowstorm that covered miles upon miles of the ocean. She also sealed Abyssal Gate with her element, overpowering the fabric space with authority alone.

And that's not even her full power.

At the main helicarrier, everyone is also shocked by Chu Yunxi's performance.

David stared at his monitor in disbelief and mumbled, "Just what kind of hellish place did they overcome to gain this strength? I thought Yunlong was joking about some of his statements, but to think everything was true..."

"Even Madara, with his God's Relic, couldn't defeat her. She's a horrible matchup for any fire elemental user."

Bibi Dong slightly smiled while observing the frozen battlefield through the monitor, knowing her choice to save Chu Yunxi and Chu Xiaoyu from assassins in the past wasn't wrong.

She has seen their potential and unfortunate past, wanting them to grow under Yunlong's care. Now the seed has bloomed fantastically into a beautiful flower.

'I should reward them later.' Bibi Dong thought, wondering about the gifts her son's companion could have. After all, something like Spirit Bones could get created artificially now, which wasn't so special.

The six normal Spirit Bones have lost value in the last three years.

And hunting Spirit Beast is prohibited anyway, except for the one outside the alliance.

'Oh well, authority level 1 doesn't sound bad.' She had decided on the gift already.

The control room became silent for several minutes until Liu Erlong's voice rang in annoyance.

"Oy! Why so quiet?"

"We have a problem here."

David awakened from deep thought and immediately changed the monitor to catch what Liu Erlong was facing. His eyes squinted a little because he recognized these human-shaped techs.

It's not just David but every researcher from the My Hero Academia World.

Liu Erlong floated above the sea and was "currently." surrounded by a thousand black-armored mecha. These humanoid techs released weird energy waves, which pressured Spirit Energy.

Yet, the fiery commandress is doing just fine because her Spirit Energy is like a roaring flame. Her body was "literally." covered with intense heat.

As for the Dragonborn Unit, they separated from Liu Erlong and formed a four-people team, assessing the situation from afar. And They also faced mecha with purple armor, seemingly lower than the black-armored one.

"Mecha..."

"We knew they were building one with Zetsu's information, but... To think they mass-produced this much within three years."

"No, there should be more." Bibi Dong commented lightly, showing no panic or surprised expression. "The Sun and Moon Empire invaded our world around 17 years ago."

"I was unaware of their presence until the Spirit Hall's ambush by the Clear Sky Clan and Seven Treasure Clan."

"They are hiding for so long. We should expect the worst coming from them."

"Launch, Energy Jammer. They should put remote-controlled devices within those machines." Bibi Dong's eyes spotted the weakness of the Sun and Moon Empire's invention quickly.

David nodded and took control of the nearest helicarrier to the Dragonborn Unit, harboring them high in the sky.

"Erlong, I know this is going to be annoying." He said while activating some miniguns in the helicarrier.

"But can you be a distraction?"

"Distraction? Easy." Liu Erlong's fist exploded with hell flame, burning the air rapidly.

Reading Liu Erlong's action, the black-armored mechas moved and launched several gas canisters at her. Cold air rushed out from the canisters, covering everything in mist.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Liu Erlong frowned in the mist because her flame didn't burst as intensely as usual. Even though she hasn't shown her full power yet, some cold air shouldn't reduce her heat this much.

'This dirt scent.' She couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha... It looks like they underestimated me."

"Did they think a Limit Douluo is a joke?"

David's voice entered Liu Erlong's earpiece. "Erlong, good job. I'll send down the energy jammer in three seconds."

"Wipe them up."

"Aye!" Liu Erlong crouched in the sky, pulling her left hand into her waist and gathering the fiery energy within it. A dim crimson light lit up from her skin, turning into ashen black color.

"Launch!"

David also warned the Dragonborn Unit and pressed a distinct button on his tablet.

Crackle! Shew~!

A series of white rays rained the hole on the Sun and Moon Empire's first base. It passed through the barrier Liu Erlong destroyed, spreading to all directions quickly.

Energy Jammer is a technology Hatsumei Mei developed using "Extreme Vibration." in the air. The vibration won't affect Spirit Energy within one's body, but natural Spirit Energy in the atmosphere will get shaken violently for fifteen minutes straight, turning it into Chaotic Spirit Energy.

It disables any technology with Spirit Energy alone, rendering them useless for fifteen minutes.

A truly tech-breaking invention.

As the "Extreme Vibration." spread across the area, the armored mecha began to lose control and entered passive mode. All of the mechas hovered in the air with a backup flying system.

At the Sun and Moon Empire's side, the drone controller panicked and reported hastily, "This is bad. We are losing control of the drones!"

Su Mucheng rubbed her temple and responded, "Send series C and D to the border."

Liu Kang checked the border perimeter and calculated the distance of the light rays. He changed his observation device position and noticed stagnant air above the main base.

"There is something there..."

"What is it?"

"Kang, go to the Heavenly-Star Gazing Room." Su Mucheng suddenly commented.

"You want me to use my weapon on them?"

"Yes."

"You know my Star-Destroying Cannon used 5% of our resources for each shot, right? We won't have enough milk bottles (energy-storing devices) to sustain the base."

Su Mucheng smiled knowingly and added, "Just once."

"Use the Cannon to kill Liu Erlong alongside that invincible carrier in the sky."

Liu Kang laughed and jumped from his seat, teleporting out of the room quickly. He arrived at the top of the main base, transforming the rooftop into this pyramid-shaped Cannon.

The influx of energy rushed up, charging the cannon with immense power enough to blow up the small continent. It also could injure or even kill Level 99 Title Douluo.

"Kekeke..." Liu Kang pulled out an orb that would be a catalyst/shell for Star-Destroying Cannon. "This crystallization of Abyssal Creature from Abyssal Plane's third layer."

He throws the orb into a chamber, aiming the cannon at the border where Liu Erlong and the Dragonborn Unit had remained. He also had to fix the angle slightly as he wanted to shoot down invisible machinery in the sky.

"FIRE!"

He pulled the trigger and launched extremely potent dark rays, cutting the atmosphere in two.

SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! BOOM!!

David noticed the alarming energy increase from the Sun and Moon Empire's 1st base, frowning because they had more to go. And then, He laughed when looking at the dark rays and covered the helicarrier nearby with an engraved Sealing Technique from Shinobi World.

Combining Sealing Technique and Technology is extremely hard to achieve, needing millions of trial and error. However, a person with an IQ of over three digits should be able to solve that, no?

"FOOL! HAHAHA~!" A burst of maniac laughter comes from Saiko Intelli's mouth. Don't be swayed by her noble-like appearance as seeing someone dares to fire high-powered energy at the helicarrier exposes a cruel grin on her face.

Yaoyorozu Momo, Hatsumei Mei, and Melissa Shield glanced at their fellow researcher with a hopeless look. This girl is beyond recovery.

Well, at least her mind is the brightest in the field.

David grabbed his earpiece and said, "Dragonborn Unit, evade that ray at all cost."

"I'll activate the Multi-Paneled Array and redirect the dark rays to the Sun and Moon Empire's 1st base energy barrier."

"You too, Erlong."

"NO! I'll stay...." Liu Erlong's voice indifferently echoed in the control room, which left David speechless.

"Uh..." David recognized this tone very well.

"This stubborn woman."

"You're going to get injured, Erlong. No matter how powerful you were, without your God's Relic, facing such an attack will land massive damage to you."

"Tanking Abyssal Beast's attack was fine, but this ray is massively distinct. It's a metaphysical attack beyond Douluo Planet's law."

"I said... I Will Stay." Liu Erlong responded firmly.

As the mist cleared, they could see Liu Erlong floating with her entire right arm turned ashen black. Her face also morphed slightly with dragon-like features.

"David, do you know what dragons hated the most?"

Liu Erlong breathed out, staring at the incoming dark rays with a murderous grin on her face.

"Being looked down..."

"I shall show them something more than just ripping fabric space apart."

Liu Erlong pulled her right arm and slowly punched the air before her, causing the fabric space to incinerate. The burn expanded rapidly to the size of a football field, covering everything within ten miles in the extreme blaze.

"Hell Dragon Murdering Art: Skyburn..."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The barrier that covered the Sun and Moon Empire's 1st base exploded and blazed the blue sky into scarlet red.

The dark ray was split in half, reaching the helicarrier while the others were "thoroughly." burned by Liu Erlong's attack.contemporary romance

David sighed and activated the sealing array, absorbing the dark ray into the helicarrier. He watched the energy reach over 400% and redirected the attack back to the Sun and Moon Empire's 1st base.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A new purple ray pierced through the explosion, reaching the highest point of the Sun and Moon Empire's 1st base.

"Fuck!" Liu Kang was taken aback by Liu Erlong's attack and stunned for a moment. Since the heat was "clearly." directed at the sky, the base didn't receive any damage, but this purple ray will be fatal for them.

He activated the 10th Class Spirit Guidance Device, resisting the purple ray that seemed double the power of the Star-Destroying Cannon. He was surprised, gritting his teeth in annoyance.

BOOM!

David monitored the area and clicked his tongue, "It was a failure."

A red mecha appeared and resisted the purple ray that David launched back at the Sun and Moon Empire's 1st base. Soon, several red mechas emerged from the 1st base and covered the sky with the metal army.

Bibi Dong witnessed this scenery and rubbed her chin, "Hmm, they got cornered now."

"Without the protection, the 1st base of the Sun and Moon Empire will be an easy target for us."

"The Poison Hall and Fairy Queen have stabilized the area." Dugu Bo said with a sigh.

"The Crimson Dawn has sealed the colossal gate here." Uchiha Madara reported, filling the spot at perfect timing.

Bibi Dong smiled and commented, "Well, it's time for an all-out attack."

"My army marched to the Sun and Moon Empire's 1st base."

"This war shall be our victory!"

"Commencing Mass Teleportation!" David ordered the AI within the helicarrier.

"Commencing the Mass Teleportation Protocol." Cloudy alerted everyone with his monotonous tone.

Su Mucheng slammed her hand on the chair and stared at the sky, where countless pieces of metal machinery appeared out of nowhere. "Code Crimson Star: Protect the base at all cost." She commanded everyone in the room.

"I'll face them directly."

"But Ma'am, that mecha will suck your life force..." Someone in the room worriedly said.

Su Mucheng looked at them and said, "I'd rather die for my empire than give up..."

"I'll do my best to protect you guys."

Leaving the room emotionally, Su Mucheng went to her research room and lit up the area. A giant mecha with crimson-orangish armor appeared before her eyes, releasing an aura that could kill a god.

"Open your eyes..."

"My Beast."

The mecha's eyes shone with dim golden light.

...

...

Liu Kang felt a shudder in his skin and whispered, "No."

"Mucheng, don't do it."

"Leave everything to me."

"Don't use that mecha!" He shouted desperately.

Uchiha Madara, Dugu Bo, Liu Erlong, and Yun Lingxi floated above the Sun and Moon Empire's 1st base. They looked down at this futuristic city with a touch of Douluo Dalu's world aesthetic, having a weird sensation in their chest.

"Dodge!" Uchiha Madara warned his fellow commander, kicking the air as a massive metal arm reached them from nowhere.

BOOM!

A giant mecha stood from the sea, roaring the sky angrily.

"Let's end this..." Su Mucheng's deformed voice greeted them.

David scanned the energy from Su Mucheng's Mecha and was speechless when hearing Cloudy's voice.

"Ding! An unstable object with 1st Class God's energy was "roughly." detected within the vicinity."

"Recommending the commander to use their God's Relic."

"All troops below Hyper Douluo Realm recommended staying in the helicarrier."

"Your majesty." David moved his gaze to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong nodded and replied, "Follow the protocol."

"The Bright Spirit Empire wouldn't back down with such a threat."
