The power released by Long Xiaoyao igniting his life force affected a far greater range than anyone anticipated.
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, Ditian gazed into the distance.
Even if his eyes could see nothing, the surging dark Aura was very obvious.
"It seems another human powerhouse is reaching their limit," Ditian sighed softly. "I wonder who his opponent is."
"On this continent, only one person can make such a powerhouse use such a method."
Hearing the voice suddenly coming from behind him, Ditian hurriedly turned and bowed, "Master, have you finished your seclusion?"
"Hmm, no need for formalities," Gu Yue nodded, gently raising her right hand, feeling the dark elements around her that were much more active than usual.
"Master, you—"
Ditian wanted to say something, but Gu Yue raised her hand to interrupt him, "No need to say more. We Spirit Beasts are naturally abandoned by Heaven and Earth. This matter is all for the sake of our Spirit Beast race."
"Yes," Ditian's expression was serious, but he ultimately did not speak again.
On Shrek Academy's Sea God Island, the colossal Golden Tree reappeared, its leaves gently swaying, shimmering with golden light. The lingering souls residing within it also grieved for their old friend who was about to pass away.
Under the extreme night, Long Xiaoyao saw Wang Nan's Coiling Dragon Staff had already slipped from his grasp. He extended his right hand, covered in black scales, and struck towards Wang Nan's body, met by Wang Nan's outstretched left hand.
Continuously fighting with the Coiling Dragon Staff did not mean Wang Nan was powerless without it. One must remember that his physical strength had long since surpassed its limit.
Golden light also illuminated his chest and left arm, instantly brightening Wang Nan's entire upper body by several shades.
What appeared to be an unremarkable palm strike completely absorbed Long Xiaoyao's power. Aided by his own strength and the enhancements from his Spirit Bones and Soul Guidance Devices, Long Xiaoyao's right palm and Wang Nan's touch were utterly unmoving.
Wang Nan didn't need to look up; everyone's movements around him were clear in his mental force perception. After repelling Ye Xishui's blood spirit, he hooked his right hand back, and the distant Coiling Dragon Staff flew back rapidly, carrying immense power.
Long Xiaoyao raised his left arm, blocking the Coiling Dragon Staff flying towards him.
At this moment, his power was equally formidable. The Coiling Dragon Staff, capable of easily shattering two blood spirits, landed on him without any effect.
However, the Coiling Dragon Staff smoothly circled halfway, already returning to Wang Nan's right hand.
His Aura shifted again and again. Long Xiaoyao finally felt the Aura Wang Nan had displayed under Yu Ming City.
At such a close distance, Long Xiaoyao could clearly see the golden light gradually brightening in the depths of Wang Nan's eyes.
Seeing this, Long Xiaoyao rapidly retreated, but his hands did not stop. His seventh and ninth spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and the enormous Dragon claw trembled slightly, as if something incredibly heavy was condensing in his hand.
The surrounding space shattered, and all power instantly collapsed, shrinking into Long Xiaoyao's hand.
In this pitch-black extreme night, the surrounding Spirit Masters could not clearly see what was in Long Xiaoyao's hand. Even their mental force was swallowed by that power, with only a constantly rising sense of crisis stimulating their perception.
Xuan Zi, Poison Undying, and others were all Super Douluo at rank ninety-eight, just one step away from the Limit. Yet, even they felt an immense crisis from Long Xiaoyao's palm, a hint of fear rising in their hearts, even generating the thought of fleeing.
But looking around, as far as the eye could see was the Domain of Extreme Night. Where could they flee?
A tear had already traced a path down Ye Xishui's face. Such might had subtly surpassed the strike Kong Deming had unleashed on them back then, and the price of this attack was Long Xiaoyao's own life.
Will, spirit power, and even Long Xiaoyao's own life force were condensed within this single attack.
The Heaven and Earth elemental force in the entire Extreme Night Domain was utilized by Long Xiaoyao in that instant. The surrounding space could no longer bear this power. Even Long Xiaoyao himself, under his Martial Soul True Body, had bloodstains cracking on his Dragon claws.
This was the mark Long Xiaoyao, whose life was nearing its end, left on this World.
Wang Nan took a deep breath. His sixth and ninth spirit rings lit up. The Evil Breaking Dragon's figure soared into the sky. His mental force sea instantly boiled, and as his first Soul Core rapidly circulated, his mental force surged from his glabella.
The power in Long Xiaoyao's hand became increasingly condensed until it was invisible to the naked eye.
The enormous Dragon claw lifted, and the index finger of his right claw pointed forward. Everything in the Extreme Night Domain froze in that instant. Only a faint, almost imperceptible black line extended forward. It seemed slow, but it instantly landed on Wang Nan.
For a moment, it was as if this black line connected Long Xiaoyao and Wang Nan.
The giant Dragon shadow in the sky disappeared, and only Long Xiaoyao, with his hair completely white and his right arm gone, reappeared.
However, in the next instant, a look of astonishment appeared on Long Xiaoyao's face, followed by a smile that gradually crept to the corners of his mouth.
Not only him, but even Ye Xishui, Xuan Zi, other Titled Douluo, and all the Spirit Master legions of the Douling Empire were momentarily stunned, their eyes sparkling with light.
A melody suddenly echoed in the silent extreme night. No one could describe what instrument produced this sound, yet to anyone who heard it, it was so enchanting.
The extreme night dissipated, and the morning sun rose, its golden radiance painting a dreamlike scene in the sky.
Clouds churned, and countless Dragon figures roamed within them, their bodies glowing brightly.
Among the clouds, magnificent buildings gleamed, as if Gods were conversing and laughing within them.
Below the clouds, an immortal mountain connected Heaven and Earth, with numerous figures upon it. For a moment, almost everyone forgot they were still fighting, forgot their identity as Spirit Masters.
Misty clouds filled their vision. They seemed to be walking on the path up the mountain like those figures, with their loved ones and close friends by their side...
This was The Everdistant Utopia, a new Domain born from Wang Nan's fusion of his sixth and ninth spirit ring Domains with his mental force Domain.
His mental force, having reached the God Realm, caused even Ye Xishui, a Limit Douluo, to lose herself.
Long Xiaoyao no longer had any spirit power fluctuations. His mouth opened and closed, as if he were saying something to the person beside him.
"What about Shrek Academy? You won't be my opponent—"
"Mu En, come and try this move I've newly comprehended—"
"Perfect, let's see who eliminates more Evil Soul Masters—"
A glimmer of vitality returned to Long Xiaoyao's eyes as Wang Nan, whose face was slightly pale, appeared before him.
"Thank you—"
The old voice gradually faded. The Dragon Emperor Douluo had fallen.
