Duan Changsheng saw that the Nine Great Fierce Beasts were probably out of options. He flicked his right index finger, sending out a golden beam of light.
The beam was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Before he could even react, the beam pierced straight through his heart.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stared at the hole in his chest, stunned!
What kind of Soul Skill was this? He'd merely flicked a finger, yet the attack had caught him completely off guard and ignored his defenses.
His nearly million years of cultivation were nothing but rotten tofu compared to this man.
"Hm?"
"Your heart's been pierced, yet you're still alive?"
"Looks like Soul Beasts really do have tremendous vitality!"
"In that case, I'll simply wipe you out completely!"
Duan Changsheng was amazed to see that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was only gravely wounded and hadn't died.
He'd underestimated the vitality of Soul Beasts who'd lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Even if I die, I'll take you down with me!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sensed Duan Changsheng's killing intent and knew he couldn't let things go on like this. In the end, he chose to burn the Pseudo-God Core within him, unleashing the true power of a hundred-level god.
With this power, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King began to show faint signs of transforming into a dragon.
"Quick! Give me all your power!"
Seeing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King go all out, Di Tian's eyes lit up. He suddenly thought of a way to defeat Duan Changsheng and immediately shouted to Xiong Jun and the others.
Xiong Jun, Ten Thousand Demon King, Zi JI, and Scarlet King immediately drew upon the Dragon God Origin Power within them. Seizing the opportunity, they transferred all their Soul Power into Di Tian.
With the support of the four great Ferocious Beasts, Di Tian's Soul Power broke through the hundred-level threshold, granting him the power of a hundred-level god as well.
But Di Tian didn't think this was enough. He turned his gaze to Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Evil Emperor. "It's still not enough. I need more!"
Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Evil Emperor exchanged glances. They had no choice but to lend him their Soul Power.
With the support of the three great Ferocious Beasts, his body doubled in size, and his strength grew even greater.
"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, if you want to win, if you want to die with dignity, then give me the last of your power!"
Di Tian felt it would be better to borrow the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's power than to have him fight alongside him.
Only then could he unleash even greater god-level power with everyone's support.
"All right. I hope my death can defend the dignity of our Soul Beasts!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sensed that the power emanating from Di Tian was several times greater than his own. He chose to trust him without hesitation and offered up all his power.
After Di Tian absorbed his power, his cultivation underwent a world-shaking change, rising another level. He had reached a level infinitely close to that of a Second-Level God.
At that moment, it was as if he'd returned to the Divine Realm, wielding power that let him look down upon all living things.
"Human, you're strong!"
"We have no choice but to admire your strength!"
"But we're stronger than you!"
"Now, let us show you the power of the Dragon God!"
Di Tian endured the discomfort brought on by that vast power and let out a fierce roar.
Then he raised his hand and unleashed the Dragon God Claw, sending out all the Dragon God Origin Power Gu Yuena had given him.
If even this move couldn't win, then they really would have done everything they could.
"Not bad. Now this is getting interesting!"
"But you're still just an ant!"
"No matter how strong you become, in my eyes, you're nothing but a worm!"
"Take this—Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"
Duan Changsheng finally began to take things a little seriously. He raised his hand and unleashed Subduing the Dragon with Regret.
His mighty palm force roared forth, transforming into an even more terrifying golden dragon that completely wiped out Di Tian's Dragon God Claw.
"No! Impossible!"
"How could this happen!"
Seeing their strongest attack defeated just like that, Di Tian closed his eyes in despair and fell completely unconscious.
That last move had drained every last bit of his Soul Power and energy.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who had burned his Pseudo-God Core, also closed his eyes in despair and lost all signs of life.
Xiong Jun, Ten Thousand Demon King, Zi JI, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Scarlet King collapsed to the ground, powerless to resist any longer.
Yet excitement shone in the eyes of Zi JI, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress.
"It's him! It really is him!"
"Big Sister Snow Empress, he's Xiao Duan!"
Ice Empress wept with excitement!
They'd seen this move before.
On Douluo Continent, he was the only one who knew it.
"That's right, little sister Ice Empress. We've finally found him!"
"It was all my fault back then. If I hadn't impulsively asked to break up with him, he wouldn't have left us!"
Snow Empress also wept with excitement.
Thousands of years of longing came pouring out of her and Ice Empress at that very moment.
Hearing their conversation, Zi JI felt a faint shudder deep in her heart!
The Duan Lang she loved most also knew Subduing the Dragon with Regret.
Could they be talking about the same person?
Before she knew it, it felt as though ten thousand arrows had pierced her heart.
[Congratulations to Masked Superman for defeating all nine Soul Beast challengers at once. Rewards: Soul Power increased by nine levels, and the divine tribulation waived!]
[All nine Soul Beasts who participated in the challenge performed well. Each will gain ten thousand years of cultivation, and their tribulations will be waived!]
[Since the challenge is for ranking contestants on the list, no one can die or suffer serious injuries during the challenge. After leaving the competition, all participants will instantly recover to peak condition!]
[All living beings are urged to take the challenge seriously so that the Combat Power Ranking will be as accurate as possible!]
The Sky Screen announced the results and granted rewards to Duan Changsheng and the other nine contestants.
After the Sky Screen's announcement ended, the dead Deep Sea Demonic Whale King came fully back to life. His cultivation broke through a million years, giving him the strength of a hundred-level god and making him a true hundred-level god without a divine seat.
Di Tian's cultivation also reached nine hundred thousand years at that moment, bringing him one step closer to becoming a god after a million years.
At that moment, Evil Emperor had eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, Snow Empress had seven hundred thousand, Ice Empress had four hundred thousand, Zi JI had two hundred and eighty thousand, Scarlet King had three hundred thousand, Ten Thousand Demon King had five hundred and thirty thousand, and Xiong Jun had four hundred and seventy thousand.
The generous rewards had all the living beings on Douluo Continent fired up.
You got rewards just for entering the competition. Wasn't that practically free?
"What?"
"Have you admitted defeat?"
Duan Changsheng felt the power surging through his body and rose into the air, looking down on the Nine Great Fierce Beasts from on high.
The Heavenly Dao was the Heavenly Dao. Raising one's cultivation was as easy as drinking water.
His Soul Power had now reached level 140, and he possessed the cultivation of a half-step God King.
Even if a God King appeared now, he'd dare fight them without the slightest fear!
The Nine Great Fierce Beasts stared at the invincible Duan Changsheng before them and fell silent!
Even the most arrogant Deep Sea Demonic Whale King didn't dare make a sound.
He'd already died once and didn't want to die again.
Even though his cultivation had now broken through to the level of a hundred-level god, he didn't dare talk back.
The real sensation of death still lingered, warning him not to resist.
"Good. Very good. I'm pleased with your attitude now."
"No matter who you are, if you're a tiger, lie down; if you're a dragon, coil up."
"If I hear you spout such arrogant nonsense again, I'll kill you!"
"Especially you, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!"
"If I can kill you once, I can kill you twice!"
Duan Changsheng was very pleased with the Nine Great Fierce Beasts' attitude. What he wanted was submission.
"Also, all living beings on Douluo Continent, listen up!"
"Don't you know what your own strength is?"
"Don't act like that idiot Tang Hao. He's only level 96, yet he came here to pick a fight and show off!"
"What the hell is he? I can't even be bothered to lift a hand. I could fart and blast him to death!"
"What a stupid challenge. No fun at all!"
"If you want to play, go home and suckle at your mothers' breasts!"
