The Authority to End All Things: Xibalak Slays a Dragon King and Forges a Unified Nation! A Deal with the Death Regent to Face the Abyssal Threat!

For the first time, a ripple appeared in the Dragon God's enormous golden pupils.

As the former Supreme God King, he spent his entire life pursuing greater power and fighting for the glory of the Dragon Clan. He could not understand why a "king" would willingly embrace death.

But he could sense something more important than life hidden behind death.

It's a responsibility.

It is about protection.

"So that's how it is..."

A'Dai Mandun, recalling his loneliness as King of Underworld and the guilt he had to bear to protect others, and felt a deep empathy for him.

Hai Long, Tian Hen, Longbow, Might, Lei Xiang...

These individuals, once the protagonists of their respective worlds, are now silent.

They all fought to protect their worlds, but they never imagined that the ultimate form of protection would be guiding their own demise.

In the picture.

Xibalak remained silent.

The sword in his hand trembled slightly.

He finally understood the meaning behind the sorrow in the Fire Dragon King's eyes.

It wasn't a fear of death, but rather a nostalgia for the end of an old era and an anticipation of the beginning of a new one.

"Roar--!"

The Fire Dragon King let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

That wasn't a war cry, but an urging.

The flames around his body suddenly surged, as if igniting the last rays of his life.

"Come forth, new king!"

"Let me see your resolve!"

"Use all your strength to end me! To end this Curse era!"

Xibalak closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the confusion and hesitation in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented determination and solemnity.

He raised his longsword high.

The power of countless elements began to converge on the sword, its brilliance even surpassing the crimson glow of the sky.

This sword carries the entrustment of the former king.

This sword strike embodies the new king's resolve.

This sword strike will sever the past and usher in the future.

"For... Natasha's future!"

Xibalak let out a heart-wrenching scream, and his longsword crashed down!

The light devoured everything.

All the people in the Douluo God Realm could see was a blinding white.

When the light fades.

On the sea of lava, only Xibalak remained.

The Fire Dragon King's enormous body had vanished, replaced by countless red specks of light, like fireflies, fluttering in the sky.

Those specks of light were the last essence of the Fire Dragon King's life.

They did not dissipate, but as if guided, they slowly and gently fell towards Xibalak.

The points of light merged into his body, gradually converging above his head into a majestic crown ablaze with flames.

The old era came to a complete end at this moment.

The new king is crowned at this moment.

The entire world in Light Screen was deathly silent.

Everyone was deeply moved by this tragic yet sacred scene, and remained speechless for Jiujiu.

Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened, and she nestled tightly in Oscar's arms.

Tang Ya's tears had already fallen as she thought of herself working tirelessly to rebuild the Tang Sect and of her fallen comrades.

Even these two towering men, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, had tears in their eyes and their chests heaving violently.

They couldn't express their feelings in words.

It was a complex emotion mixed with sadness, admiration, shock, and emotion.

Just then...

The image did not dim.

At the moment when the flaming crown that crowned Xibalak reached its most brilliant shine, a sliver of something extremely incongruous quietly emerged at its center...

A dark, writhing aura, like that of a living creature.

The breath was so faint, yet so persistent, like a deeply buried seed.

It was imprinted on the new king along with the radiance of the crown.

At the bottom of the Light Screen, a line of cold text slowly appeared.

[A new king is crowned, the old gods sing a lament.]

[However, the seed of the Abyss has already been sown.]

On the Light Screen, all was silent.

All eyes were drawn to that Void, awaiting the next earth-shattering secret.

Finally, the golden lettering gathered like quicksand, slowly taking shape.

A single sentence stirred up a massive wave of emotions among the crowd!

"What?!"

Tang Wulin suddenly stood up straight, his Golden Dragon King Bloodline churning uncontrollably within him, and a surge of anger and trembling from the depths of his bloodline instantly swept over his entire body.

Slaying the Dragon King?!

These four words were nothing short of a direct provocation and shock to him, who possessed the blood of the Dragon Clan!

"Fire Dragon King?" A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuena's silver eyes, and the temperature around her suddenly dropped. She knew better than anyone the weight of the words "Dragon King." It was a being second only to the Dragon God among the Dragon Clan, each possessing world-destroying power.

He was actually... killed by a human named Xibalak?

"Impossible!" the Dragon Prince instinctively retorted, his face flushing red. "The body of the Dragon King is unharmable even to Gods; how could a mere mortal possibly do such a thing!"

In the God Realm Central, the Dragon God, seated on his throne, also showed a hint of surprise in his majestic golden eyes.

Fire Dragon King?

This title is not among his Nine Great Dragon Kings.

Is he Dragon Clan King from another world? Or... is this just a false title?

Regardless of the circumstances, the achievement represented by the phrase "slaying the Dragon King" is enough to shock any being associated with the Dragon Clan.

"The key point isn't just that." Tang San's eyes were deep; his focus was more macroscopic. "Integrating the forces of humans and dragons to establish a unified nation... This person not only possesses the martial prowess to slay dragons, but also the wisdom and skill to govern."

These words sent a jolt through the hearts of Emperor present.

Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire wore a solemn expression, muttering to himself, "To unite two races with long-standing feuds, what kind of courage and prestige that requires... it's simply inconceivable."

Emperor Dai Hao of the Star Luo Empire, this iron-blooded military duke, was also filled with shock. He was confident in his strict military discipline, but to ask him to unite the Soul Beast, especially the proud Dragon Clan, was simply a pipe dream.

"Bringing the Dragon Clan under my command..." Ye Yinzhu's gaze swept over his wife Zi beside him, his heart filled with emotion. He had devoted countless efforts to the peaceful coexistence of various races in Qincheng and knew the difficulties involved. And this Xibalak had actually managed to make the proud Dragon Clan submit; it was simply a miracle.

"Interesting." In the corner, Rong Nianbing stroked his chin with interest. As the God of Emotion, he could feel the complex emotions of shock, doubt, curiosity and awe in everyone's hearts.

Just as everyone was still processing this first piece of information, the text on the Light Screen changed again, dropping an even bigger bombshell.

[To counter the threat of the Abyss, he made a deal with the Death Regent, demanding the "Authority to End All Things" to purify Natasha...]

"Abyss!"
