The Sage King Falls, the Abyss Is Devoured, and the Eighth Trial of the Dragon God Nine Trials Is Complete!
In that endless Abyss, Xu Xingyu pondered to himself that although the previous battle seemed like a victory, he clearly felt a sense of unease.
The message that the Eighth Trial the Dragon God Nine Trials was not yet over kept echoing in his mind. Clearly, the Abyssal Sage King was not completely dead. All of this pointed to an ominous conclusion: the Sage King's soul might still be lurking somewhere.
He took a deep breath, concentrated, and used his Divine Sense to scan the surrounding space, trying to find any potential clues. Soon, his Divine Sense touched the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Rift Halberd and was shocked to find that there was still a trace of the Sage King's soul within it. That faint soul aura seemed to be enveloped by the Abyss, calling out indistinctly.
"This guy is really persistent." Xu Xingyu sneered inwardly, recalling how the Sage King seemed to have used this method to Douluo IV resurrections in the original story. He knew that it might be possible to fool Tang Wulin, but he was not God Level expert who was so easily fooled.
Without further hesitation, he decided to take immediate action. He called out to Lysithea, transmitting his command through his consciousness. With his summons, a pink light separated from his body, transforming into a beautiful, elf-like girl with long pink hair, named Lysithea.
Lysithea smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. A ball of pinkish-white flame appeared in her hand, like holy light descending from the sky. The flame instantly ignited and flew towards the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Rift Halberd, seemingly intent on burning it to ashes.
At the same time, Xu Xingyu also began to purify the Abyssal Core with the same flames. As the flames burned, the Sage King's plea for mercy echoed in the air, a voice filled with resentment and despair.
"No! I don't want to die! You can't kill me! My mother will definitely... Aa...
However, Xu Xingyu ruthlessly ignored the Sage King's pleas and threats. She didn't care about the power behind the Sage King, nor was she afraid of the so-called Crimson Mother.
After all, he hadn't even reached the level of God King, yet he was still able to defeat the Sage King, who was also Half-Step God King. Why should he fear a mere Crimson Mother?
Xu Xingyu remembered that the Crimson Mother was at a similar level. There was nothing she could do; apart from the Abyss Demon King of that time, no Abyss creature had ever successfully broken through to the God King level.
Aside from the Lie Yan in the original work, she is not pure as Abyss creature, and she also has the proxy inheritance of the first God King of Goodness, so she can still bypass the laws of the universe.
Other Abyss creatures, however, cannot do such a thing.
As the Abyssal Sage King's screams grew louder and louder, Xu Xingyu frowned impatiently, "So noisy!"
With a roar, he channeled the power of the Lightning Tribulation into the flames. The Sage King's screams echoed in the air, growing even more piercing. As the power intensified, his soul was finally annihilated amidst the Sage King's agonizing cries.
At that very moment, the Dragon God Nine Trials also issued a notification:
"Dragon God Nine Trials Eighth Trial, Eighth Trial, Mission Completion (3/3). The Eighth Trial of the Dragon God Nine Trials is complete. The Ninth Trial of the Dragon God Nine Trials Ninth Trial now open. Please go to Dragon Valley to inherit the Dragon God Divinity."
Xu Xingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, the worry that had been hanging over him finally subsided. He knew that the final assessment could be held later, as he still had some trivial matters to deal with right now.
"Put away this Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Rift Halberd." Xu Xingyu waved his hand and put the halberd into his storage ring. As for the energy of the Abyssal Core, thirty percent was reserved for the promise to the Divine Realm, and the last thirty percent was prepared for himself, although he planned to use it after inheriting the God Position.
The remaining 40% of the energy was given to his beloved daughter, Buer, for absorption. As the Life Core of the Douluo Plane, Buer had a deep connection with the Star Lord of Douluo Star. Her absorption was equivalent to the absorption by the Douluo Star Lord, and the accumulation of energy was crucial for the entire planet.
As Xu Xingyu arranged things, strange phenomena began to appear between heaven and earth, and the energy level of Douluo Star seemed to be constantly rising. Xu Xingyu felt that the suppression of heaven and earth caused by the lack of God Position was gradually disappearing, as if everything was developing in a positive direction.
Gu Yuena watched all this from the side and exclaimed, "What a beautiful sight! Even the heavens and earth seem to change for it." A hint of admiration appeared in her eyes. As a member of the Dragon Clan, she felt this natural phenomenon particularly strongly.
"It's finally over." Gu Qiuxi said from the side, a look of relief flashing in her eyes. As his fighting partner, Gu Qiuxi had a deep understanding of Xu Xingyu's abilities and perseverance, and she watched all the changes with satisfaction.
"Yes, it's almost over," Xu Xingyu replied with a smile. "Once Buer has absorbed all this energy and taken care of the last few things, we can go home."
Before the words were even finished, the strange phenomena in the world became more and more obvious. The energy fluctuations of Douluo Star surged like a tide, like the awakening of a brand new life. As Buer devoured it, the life aura of Douluo Star became more and more intense, as if conveying a kind of resonance.
Xu Xingyu thought silently to himself that this battle and sacrifice were ultimately for protecting the one he loved. His eyes shone with unwavering conviction; the threat of the Abyss had vanished, and the road ahead would be even brighter.
"We will create a better future," he said to Gu Yuena and Gu Qiuxi beside him, his eyes as firm as iron. No matter how many challenges lay ahead, he was no longer a lone fighter; with his companions by his side, he could face even more unknowns.
As time passed, Buer finished absorbing the power, Xu Xingyu felt a warm energy emanating from her body, permeating the surrounding space. The entire Douluo Star seemed to be celebrating this moment, with all things reviving and full of vitality.
"Yes, it's finally done." Xu Xingyu smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment. Now, he could face the challenges ahead without any worries, inherit the Dragon God's God Position, and embrace his new destiny.
"Let's go, to Dragon Valley!" he shouted, filled with anticipation for the future. No matter how difficult the journey, he would face it head-on, leading his companions to their own glorious future.
Just as Xu Xingyu was about to take a step forward, Gu Yuena and Gu Qiuxi exchanged a smile, silently agreeing in their hearts. Having gone through countless life-and-death trials, their destinies were already tightly intertwined, and their future journey would surely be made even more exciting by this bond.
On the reviving Douluo Star, the figures of three powerful individuals gradually faded into the distance, embarking on a new journey. Whatever awaited them ahead, they were ready to embrace their glory and dreams.
