Chapter 154: The Battle of the God King, About to Ignite!
He heard the heavenly curtain's question.
The Storm Dragon King's azure dragon eyes slowly opened.
Its gaze seemed to pierce space, meeting the eyes of Gu Yuena far away in the Star Dou Great Forest for a moment.
Then, a deep, dignified yet crystal‑clear voice resonated from its mouth.
"I refuse."
Straightforward and decisive, without any hesitation.
"Alas..."
Across the Douluo Continent, a silent, disappointed sigh echoed.
Countless Soul Masters and Soul Beasts felt profound regret.
They missed the once‑in‑a‑lifetime chance to witness the clash of the two Supreme Soul Beast Sovereigns.
"What a pity..."
"The Storm Dragon King actually refused outright!"
"Perhaps it thinks there's no guaranteed victory? Or it doesn't want to risk a life‑or‑death battle with the Silver Dragon King?"
Various speculations surfaced in people's minds.
Only a few top‑tier beings could vaguely grasp the deeper reasons.
At that moment!
"Bzzzzzz!"
On the heavenly curtain, the rightmost vortex rippled like three stones dropped onto a calm water surface.
Three distinct yet harmoniously intertwined halos of strange light spread outward!
The three halos slowly rotated, merging with one another.
Finally they formed a message etched by the power of heaven and earth.
[Combat Power Ranking, First Place]
[Name: Lu Xiao]
[Affiliation: Big Dipper Academy]
[Species: Human]
[Level: 105]
[Combat Power Assessment Summary: Cannot be measured by the conventional Soul Master system. He has already broken the hundred‑level barrier, entered the Domain of Gods, and his Foundation far exceeds ordinary Divinities. Possessing multiple tiers of hidden cards. Considering all known and inferred unknown methods, base enhancements, and under the current Douluo plane, his Peak combat power reaches… the God King Realm.]
[Reward: Power increased to Third‑Rank Divinity, one Divine Artifact evolution opportunity, Martial Soul compatibility increased by 50%, Physique doubled (to be granted).]
God King Realm!
When those final three words clearly flashed before every being's eyes,
the entire Douluo Continent seemed to hit the pause button.
What erupted next was an invisible Spiritual storm more violent and frenzied than any moment before!
If earlier it was only the shock and speculation brought by the ranking,
now the heavenly curtain, in the clearest terms, explained Lu Xiao's "first."
Multiple hidden cards, Peak combat power… God King Realm!
"God… God King?"
"My goodness!"
"Did he really… reach that legendary Realm?"
Shock, horror, awe, fear, disbelief… emotions surged like a tsunami, sweeping every corner!
All previous doubts and every lucky‑break mindset
were utterly crushed in this instant!
Bibi Dong slumped on the Supreme Pontiff's throne.
Her delicate frame trembled uncontrollably, her rosy cheeks paling.
She pursues the Rakshasa God Position.
She knows how arduous the First-rank Deity is, and the God King is an even more unattainable legend!
And Lu Xiao… a human, was judged by the heavenly curtain to possess God King Realm combat power?
This is no longer a gap, but a chasm!
It's the difference between ants and the heavens!
The earlier probing and scheming toward Big Dipper Academy
now, in hindsight, is nothing short of courting disaster!
Facing a being that may wield God King combat power with unclear intentions.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan… all high‑level human forces felt their emotions reach a Peak.
On one hand, the emergence of such a towering pillar among humans seems to give them confidence to counter the top‑tier power of Soul Beasts.
On the other hand, this pillar is too mysterious, too powerful, completely beyond their comprehension and control.
No one can predict how the continent's future layout will unfold.
In the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, a dead silence prevailed.
Gu Yuena's violet eyes stared fixedly at the three words "God King Realm."
On her exquisite face, a clear emotional fluctuation appeared for the first time.
It was a complex expression mixing shock, comprehension, resentment, and deep caution.
"Multiple hidden cards, God King Realm combat power!"
She whispered, each word weighing as heavy as a thousand jins.
"So that's why, the feeling last time wasn't wrong; the way he wields power indeed doesn't belong to this world's regular system."
Emperor Tian's severely wounded body trembled slightly, his dragon eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
The Lord is infinitely close to the God King, already at the limit of his cognition.
And Lu Xiao directly embodies God King Realm combat power!
How can one possibly contend?
Xiong Jun, the Myriad Demon King and other Ferocious beasts fell silent as cold cicadas, daring not even to breathe.
The confidence that once rose from the Silver Dragon King's ranking now vanished completely.
At this moment, it was gone.
The heavenly curtain's vast voice gave the myriad beings little time to catch their breath or digest the shock.
[Gu Yuena! Do you wish to apply to open the "Endless Arena," challenging First Place Lu Xiao?]
Challenge the First!
Challenge Lu Xiao, who has been judged to possess "God King Realm" Peak combat power, mysterious and unfathomable!
This inquiry was like ice water thrown into boiling oil.
It instantly ignited the suppressed emotions of all spectators to the extreme!
Dead silence!
After the ultimate dead silence came a volcanic eruption of fervor and anticipation!
"A challenge! Does the Silver Dragon King want to challenge Lu Xiao?"
"God King versus God King! This is the true ultimate battle!"
"My god! To think I could witness a battle of this caliber in my lifetime!"
"..."
Everyone understood that this would be an unprecedented, perhaps once‑in‑history showdown!
The two beings were deemed by the heavenly curtain to possess 'God King‑level' and 'infinitely close to God King‑level' combat power.
A head‑on clash on the Endless Arena!
Its intensity and the way it collides with and interprets the rules are likely unseen even in the God Realm!
The Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sea God Island… all human forces held their breath, hearts pounding.
On one hand, deep down they hoped Lu Xiao would win, as it concerns the dignity and future of human Soul Masters.
On the other hand, they felt an instinctive fear and tremor toward this battle beyond comprehension.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, all Soul Beasts… including the gravely wounded Emperor Sky, anxiously looked toward their king.
This battle concerns not only rankings and rewards.
It also concerns whether the Soul Beast Clan can reclaim a victory at the top‑tier combat level.
It affects the future Luck of the entire species!
...inside Big Dipper Academy.
The excitement and pride on Sikong Zhen, Monkey King, and Li Bai's faces were instantly replaced by solemnity.
They knew the dean's might!
But the opponent is, after all, the Silver Dragon King, who commands the seven great elements and wields a Super Divine Artifact.
An ancient being also assessed to possess terrifying power!
Lu Xiao's brows twitched ever so slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"Challenge me… Gu Yuena."
Lu Xiao felt no surprise; instead, a hint of clarity rose within him.
Given Gu Yuena's temperament and sense of responsibility toward the Soul Beast race.
She could hardly avoid this fight.
"Perfect, let me also see how, recovered and wielding the silver dragon spear, you can exert the Dragon God's elemental authority to what extent."
A barely perceptible spark of expectation flickered in Lu Xiao's eyes.
Battling an opponent like Gu Yuena!
For him, it is also a rare experience and test.
Star Dou Great Forest.
On Gu Yuena's exquisite face, all hesitation and deliberation vanished instantly.
In her violet eyes, only a cold yet burning flame of Battle Intent remained.
She slowly raised her hand.
Delicate fingertips coursed with seven‑colored elemental radiance.
"Challenge."
A cool, resolute voice, through Spiritual intent, clearly answered the heavenly curtain.
No grandiose words, only the simplest decision.
Almost the instant her words fell!
"Boom boom boom!"
Above the heavenly curtain erupted unprecedented, dazzling golden light that seemed capable of tearing the heavens!
Two colossal, more magnificent and condensed than any before, massive pillars of light as if forged from pure rule runes.
One precisely descended onto Lu Xiao standing in Big Dipper Academy's plaza.
Another traversed space, enveloping the core of the Star Dou Great Forest—Gu Yuena!
This teleportation seemed even the heavenly curtain itself treated with great solemnity.
The Endless Arena's space violently twisted, expanded, and reinforced within the golden light!
The spectators' consciousnesses were drawn into a broader, more stable, strange Realm where countless mysterious runes flowed along its boundaries.
The spatial intensity here!
Far surpasses any previous arena battle.
It appears specially engineered to bear collisions of God King‑level power!
The golden light gradually faded.
At the center of the Endless Arena, the two figures faced each other from afar.
On the left, Lu Xiao still wore a simple white robe, hands clasped behind him, standing.
No powerful divine force ripples or intimidating Aura emanated from him; he was as calm as a bottomless ancient well.
Yet he naturally became the 'center' of this space.
On the right, Gu Yuena's silver hair cascaded like a waterfall!
She wielded a full‑silver, elegantly regal long spear whose tip bore countless elemental births and deaths.
A Super Divine Artifact, the silver dragon spear!
Surrounding her, the glow of seven basic elements flickered like breathing, forming a perfectly harmonious Domain.
Resonating faintly with the entire arena space!
The vast elemental pressure resembled a sleeping ocean; beneath its calm lay the power to destroy heaven and earth.
The two strongest beings of the age!
On this ultimate arena, built by heavenly curtain rules, capable of bearing a God King battle,
the final showdown that will decide the top spot on the power rankings and may profoundly reshape the continent's future…
All beings across the Douluo Continent!
Whether human or Soul Beast.
Whether strong or Mortal!
At this moment, everyone cast all their Martial Soul and gaze toward the dazzling golden Endless Arena!
The God King War is about to ignite!
