Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1550: Chapter 1550: Black Emperor Descends

The Platinum Dragon Spear, already five hundred meters long, suddenly soared into the air. At the moment it shot out, all the surrounding platinum clouds poured into the spear, making its radiance so dazzling that it dispersed much of the darkness on the surface of the Celestial Harmony Star at that instant.

"Screech—" A horrified scream came from the mouth of the Soul King. Yet it couldn’t break free from the binding platinum brilliance.

The next instant, the massive dragon spear pierced straight through its chest.

"Bang—" Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the immense body of the Soul King exploded instantly, turning into countless dark gold bats fluttering in the air.

The Platinum Dragon Spear hovered in mid-air, and the platinum light transformed into a ring which burst outward. Wherever it passed, dark gold bats dissolved one by one, transforming into gray-black streams of air that were sucked back into the Deep Crimson Realm. Less than half of the dark gold bats managed to evade the platinum coverage with their super speed.

However, the Platinum Dragon Spear did not pause. After scattering the dark gold bats, it suddenly accelerated, trailing a dazzling platinum tail flame, and plunged towards the Deep Crimson Realm.

The aura displayed by the Soul King was already strong enough, indeed a super-god-level powerhouse! Yet in front of the Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, it was so vulnerable.

The Celestial Prime Minister below was already somewhat dazed. Though they always knew the Dragon Knights were strong, the exact extent of their power was rarely known because the Dragon Knights had seldom taken action in recent years.

And at this moment, this Dawn Dragon Knight was using his strength to prove that the Dragon Knights remained the peak combat force of the entire Dragon Horse Star System. As the Secondary Dragon Leader, he was just barely second to the Sky Dragon Leader.

"Poof—" Instantly, the Platinum Dragon Spear pierced into the clouds, causing the Deep Crimson Realm to surge violently, with waves of platinum halo continuously erupting from within.

The previously surviving dark gold bats had now gathered together, reforming into the figure of the Soul King, but compared to before, the Soul King looked extremely disheveled. Its figure had shrunk by more than half, with many scars crisscrossing its body, and its eyes filled with terror.

However, above it, the Deep Crimson Realm seemed to be in crisis. Further away, several bloody pillars of light were collapsing, and the platinum light was rapidly spreading within the Deep Crimson Realm.

"Screech—" The Soul King screamed, frantically lunging again towards Zhong Zhichang.

"Come back." At this moment, a cold voice rang out.

Zhong Zhichang, standing atop the Dragon Head, suddenly changed his expression. The next instant, a platinum light had already shot back from within the Deep Crimson Realm like lightning, shortly falling back into his grasp.

A black figure slowly flew out from the Deep Crimson Realm. She appeared humanoid, clad entirely in black armor, with a pair of wings formed of scales emerging from her back. Her face was exquisitely beautiful and pale, her eyes profoundly deep, like an abyss, devouring everything around, including spiritual will. Her jet-black hair cascaded down her back. On her head was a black crown, but no helmet.

In her hand was a black longsword, slender in proportion, giving an extraordinarily mysterious and magical feeling.

"Greetings, Black Emperor!" The Soul King respectfully saluted this figure before him.

"Useless." The woman known as the Black Emperor slowly descended, and behind her, everything seemed to darken. Her eyes looked at the Dawn Dragon Knight, saying calmly, "As expected of the Secondary Dragon Leader. Bow to the Seventh Emperor under my mother."

The Soul King before was a king, but the Black Emperor in front of him was an emperor, indicating a completely different level of existence.

What made Zhong Zhichang frown even more was the Soul King, whom he had previously heavily wounded, was absorbing gray-black energy from the Deep Crimson Realm in the air, and its shrunken body was gradually recovering.

Immortal?

From the previous battle, he had already noticed that the creatures of the Deep Crimson Realm did not truly die even when struck by the artillery of the Celestial Harmony Star. Those low-level creatures had no intelligence and knew only slaughter and devouring. After they superficially died, they would transform into energy and revert back to the Deep Crimson Realm, which seemed to suffer no consumption, continually producing these creatures.

Previously, he had thrust his spear into the Deep Crimson Realm to better understand its condition. But it was in vain, revealing no discoveries. In his divine consciousness sensing, the Deep Crimson Realm gave him a sense of boundlessness. He could destroy and damage within it, but only on the surface. For every destruction, there would be creation. This was the most troublesome aspect: the immortality trait!

The changes in the Soul King now undoubtedly confirmed this point for him; this immortality trait is the hardest to handle. The Deep Crimson Realm’s foundation is established on it.

As long as there is the Deep Crimson Realm, none of the creatures incubated from it, regardless of their strength or weakness, will truly die.

The Soul King already reached the Super God Level, yet the Black Emperor’s aura far exceeded the Soul King’s.

On the other side, the four Dragon Knights were already overwhelming the four powerful creatures from the Deep Crimson Realm. A Dragon Knight and their Mount Dragon are one, able to borrow each other’s dragon power and integrate it into themselves, explosively enhancing both offense and defense with additive and qualitative effects. Their power is immensely formidable, not simply a sum of two super god-level powerhouses. Generally, the attributes between a Dragon Knight and a Mount Dragon are either synergistic or complementary.

Dragon Knights essentially follow these two paths, with their bloodlines interlinked and lives shared during battle.

The four Dragon Knights had already routed their opponents, but these strong figures of the Deep Crimson Realm could continuously draw replenishment from the aerial realm, repairing their damage and consumption using the immortality trait to compensate for their lack of strength. Since the Dragon Knights hadn’t exerted their full power, a temporary stalemate remained.

The Black Emperor walked step by step through the void, her size resembling an ordinary human. Yet anyone who could see her presence felt the oppression she carried, incomparable to the gigantic Soul King.

The slender sword in her hand gently trembled, and a circle of black halos appeared in the sky. The next instant, the darkness in her eyes seemed to widen. Behind the Dawn Dragon Knight, a black sun abruptly emerged, as if to envelop him and his Mount Dragon entirely.

Zhong Zhichang didn’t look back. The Mount Dragon below him let out a piercing dragon roar. Platinum light burst forth, forcibly resisting the encroaching black sun.

In Zhong Zhichang’s eyes, platinum light flames flickered. The next moment, two beams had already shot out from his eyes, heading straight for the Black Emperor.

Before the Black Emperor, circles of black halos swiftly condensed, interlocking and emitting eerie light, blocking the incoming burst of platinum divine consciousness, causing it to scatter.

The Black Emperor’s empty hand grasped out of the void. Around Zhong Zhichang, a series of black suns descended, like meteors, threatening to crash down on him and his Mount Dragon.

The Mount Dragon beneath Zhong Zhichang flapped its massive wings, sending out powerful light blades that sliced through the descending black suns.

The Black Emperor’s slender sword in her hand suddenly disappeared. In the next instant, a sliver of black light flashed in the sky, almost imperceptible.

Zhong Zhichang thrust up with his Dragonlance. With a crisp "Ding" that echoed across the battlefield, the black thin sword was deflected and sent flying.
