Chapter 74: Xu Jinlan Achieves the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon God King!
"The Nine Trials of the Sea God, First Trial: At the Royal Soul Beast Hunting Grounds, slay ten ten-thousand-year-old sea soul beasts and obtain their soul bones. Time Limit: Two years."
This sounds incredibly difficult, but for Yu Haoyang, who has the entire Sun Moon Empire as his backing and is already a Soul Douluo, with the protection of his father and powerful figures, it's merely a matter of time.
Compared to the original Sea God's Nine Trials, which were fraught with peril, this is practically a "training mission."
Yu Haoyang felt the vast, ocean-like divine power seed within him, trembling with excitement, his eyes slightly red.
"Thank you for your grace, Father! Your son will surely bring all the waters of the four seas into the territory of my Sun Moon Empire!"
Yu Jingcheng looked at his two sons kneeling on the ground. The eldest son inherited the bloodthirst, and the second son ruled the sea.
Add to that his own dual God King status in the center, and Xu Jinlan, who was about to achieve the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon God King realm.
Douluo Star had already become the property of the Yu family.
Inside the main hall, a brief silence returned after the departure of the two princes.
Yu Jingcheng sat upright on his throne, about to close his eyes and meditate, trying to understand the rules of the plane, when suddenly his brow furrowed slightly.
A terrifyingly unstable fluctuation, like an undercurrent in the deep sea, abruptly penetrated the layers of spatial barriers and reached his senses.
It was an aura filled with destruction and violence, yet also mixed with a dangerous struggle.
"Hmm? Jinlan?"
Yu Jingcheng's eyes snapped open, golden light swirling deep within them.
That was the direction of Xu Jinlan's secluded chamber.
As the ruler of the plane, the entire Douluo Star was under his surveillance, and Xu Jinlan's situation naturally couldn't escape his perception.
At this moment, Xu Jinlan's aura flickered like a candle flame in a storm, and was rapidly becoming increasingly violent.
"It seems we've reached the final step; the divine core has backfired."
Without any hesitation, Yu Jingcheng flashed, instantly disappearing from the Sunrise Palace.
…
Deep within the palace, in an absolute forbidden zone.
This was a secret chamber crafted from extremely rare deep-sea silver mother material, surrounded by tens of thousands of defensive and isolation formations.
But at this moment, the interior of this seemingly indestructible chamber was filled with a suffocating storm of destruction.
"Roar—!!!"
A shrill and frenzied dragon roar echoed within the confined space.
Xu Jinlan floated cross-legged in mid-air, her once exquisitely beautiful face now ashen, her brows furrowed with pain.
At Xu Jinlan's chest, a rhombus-shaped crystal radiating an extreme purplish-black light—the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon Divine Core—was trembling violently, seemingly trying to break free from her control, even attempting to devour her soul!
This was, after all, the core of a true god-king level powerhouse. Even after the passage of time, the pride and indomitable spirit of the dragon god contained within it was not so easily refined.
At this moment, Xu Jinlan's soul power had reached its limit, but facing this last stubborn core, she was unable to completely shatter and fuse it, instead falling into a dangerous stalemate.
*Buzz!* Ripples appeared in the space, and Yu Jingcheng's figure quietly materialized.
Looking at his beloved wife struggling in pain, a trace of heartache flashed in Yu Jingcheng's eyes, which then transformed into boundless majesty and coldness.
"A mere dead crystal core dares to harm my Empress?"
He sneered, his voice not loud, yet it exploded like thunder in the secret chamber, instantly causing the raging purplish-black energy to pause slightly.
"Jinlan, guard your mind, I'm here to help you!"
Yu Jingcheng took a step forward, instantly appearing behind Xu Jinlan. He didn't directly use his divine power to forcibly suppress it, as that might damage Xu Jinlan's foundation.
He had a better way to deal with this kind of backlash at the soul level.
"Power of Faith, gather!"
Yu Jingcheng held out his hands as if supporting the entire world.
In an instant, golden rays of light floated from the bodies of countless believers who were praying and worshipping across the territory of the Bright Empire.
These rays of light gathered into rivers, into seas, and finally crossed the barriers of space, directly descending into the secret chamber of the Sun and Moon Empire's palace!
That was the purest faith of the hundreds of millions of people of the entire Bright Empire!
"In the name of light, forge all things!"
Boom—!
The once purplish-black chamber was instantly submerged by an endless golden ocean.
This unimaginably vast power of faith, under Yu Jingcheng's masterful control, transformed into the gentlest yet most potent fuel, frantically pouring into Xu Jinlan's body.
The power of faith is the foundation of godhood, and an unparalleled remedy for stabilizing the soul and suppressing inner demons.
Blessed by this immense power of faith, Xu Jinlan's previously shaky aura surged dramatically!
She abruptly opened her eyes, her once black pupils now completely transformed into a purplish-gold, and a clear, resonant roar erupted from her mouth:
"Break!!!"
Crack—!
The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Divine Core, which had been stubbornly resisting, finally let out a mournful cry under the impact of this torrent of faith combined with Xu Jinlan's will.
The hard barrier upon it instantly cracked, and then shattered completely!
A pure, god-king-level energy, representing the very essence of destruction, finally flowed without hindrance, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, completely merging into Xu Jinlan's limbs and bones.
Rumble—!!!
An unprecedentedly terrifying pressure erupted from Xu Jinlan's center!
Had Yu Jingcheng not sealed the space beforehand, this pressure would have been enough to raze the entire Sun and Moon Imperial Palace to the ground.
The Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon phantom behind Xu Jinlan underwent a dramatic transformation.
Its body became more solid, the purple light on its scales so deep it seemed to devour light itself, and its once ferocious dragon head now possessed an inviolable, sacred majesty.
Nine purple-gold divine rings slowly rose beneath her feet, each ring inscribed with world-destroying divine runes.
No longer a mortal martial soul, no longer an ordinary titled Douluo.
At this moment, she had transcended!
The aura of destruction flowed within the secret chamber, but it was no longer violent; instead, it was as docile as an extension of her own limb.
After a long while, the light faded.
Xu Jinlan landed slowly, surrounded by purple aura, like an empress descending upon the world, wielding the power of destruction. She felt the vast, ocean-like divine power within her, her eyes filled with joy and awe.
The Purple Radiance Annihilation Heavenly Dragon God-King was complete!
She turned around, looking at Yu Jingcheng, who had been protecting her, the god-king's majesty in her eyes instantly transforming into tender affection.
"Jingcheng..."
Yu Jingcheng smiled and stepped forward, gently embracing her waist. Feeling the terrifying power within his beloved wife, on par with his own, he nodded in satisfaction:
"Congratulations, Jinlan. From this day forward, in this heaven and on earth, no one but me can make you bow your head."
