"Crimson Prison"
Like the wails of evil ghosts, around the Silver Dragon King, an illusory region rapidly turned solid, forming a bizarre zone.
"Roar~"
A piercing dragon cry rang out, carrying powerful energy capable of tearing through space.
"Crack crack" — cracks crawled across the region, then it shattered with a boom.
In that brief moment, the Crimson Mother had already used her scepter to transfer the Silver Dragon King to the edge of the Star Luo Empire.
If the Silver Dragon King were in a clear-headed state, she could never have been shifted so easily.
But now she was left with almost nothing but the instinct to fight. Her use of rules and divine power relied purely on her innate instincts.
The Crimson Mother could not defeat the Silver Dragon King, but under the circumstances where the Silver Dragon King's attacks were familiar to her, it was also extremely difficult for the Silver Dragon King to kill the Crimson Mother.
The Crimson Mother possessed two super-divine artifacts: the Crimson Scepter and the Crimson Moon Blade.
The might of these two divine artifacts far surpassed the Abyss Holy Lord's Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd.
"Crimson Binding"
After the Silver Dragon King destroyed the Crimson Prison, the Crimson Mother immediately swung her scepter. Crimson blood whips bound the Silver Dragon King tightly.
"Acting purely on instinct—when danger approaches, she instinctively unleashes her strongest attack."
The Crimson Mother let go of the Abyss Scepter, tossing it toward the Silver Dragon King.
In the instant the Crimson Scepter left her hand, a blood-red radiance instantly enveloped the entire scepter.
"Come on, unleash power like when you resisted the Heavenly Saint Splitting Abyss Halberd before—no, even stronger than that. After all, you possess God King-level spiritual power."
"But the scepter in my hand is not something that useless child of mine could ever compare to."
The blood-red sphere of light flew rapidly toward the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King seemed to sense the extreme danger and erupted with unbelievable energy.
Her strength was suppressed to the peak of first-level gods, but her spiritual power remained unrestricted.
Having obtained the Dragon God's dragon soul, she could instinctively manipulate elements and even wield many of the Dragon God's rules.
"Roar~"
Opening her jagged maw, an overwhelming oppressive pressure surged like a tsunami.
Merely with her spiritual power, she could already affect the surrounding environment. A terrifying storm blasted the Crimson Mother hundreds of meters away.
Yet the Crimson Mother paid it no mind. She raised a layer of barrier to block the raging energy storm, then burst into loud laughter:
"Come on, let me see your true power—the spiritual power that belongs to the God King level!"
The Crimson Scepter, now transformed into a red orb drifting with bloody aura, was already right in front of the Silver Dragon King.
The Crimson Mother let out a soft hum.
Her right hand was raised in front of her eyes.
"Explode!"
As the word fell.
The blood-red orb suddenly shattered.
Dense beams of light burst out from the cracks in the broken sphere.
The light grew brighter and brighter. In the blink of an eye, it engulfed the Silver Dragon King's massive body.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion shook the entire earth. The Star Luo Empire trembled violently.
The crimson explosive light released by the Crimson Scepter burned like raging flames.
Dancing flames formed a rolling sea of fire, devouring everything around it.
The energy fluctuations were extremely violent—even space itself seemed to tear apart.
The array barrier also began to tremble violently in that instant, emitting piercing vibrations.
The enormous Taiji pattern in the sky grew somewhat unstable.
However, at that moment.
A long, resounding dragon roar clearly cut through the explosion.
A sky-blotting dragon-shaped phantom appeared within the blast zone, flickering in and out of visibility.
The dragon phantom extended its sharp claws and grabbed toward the red orb of light.
"Crack"
The orb of light, resembling a crimson sun, suddenly shattered. The rampant energy was swiftly suppressed. Under the pressure unleashed by the dragon phantom, the shockwave spread across the Star Luo Empire.
"Zzzzt—"
Cracks spread across the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Array.
Even the originally scarlet Taiji pattern froze at that moment.
"Bang"
As the claws crushed the energy detonated by the Crimson Scepter, the collision of their powers erupted into shockwaves that tore through and destroyed the array.
The Taiji pattern suspended high in the sky slowly faded away.
"Pfft!"
Xue Di, Bibi Dong, and Lan Fozi all spat out mouthfuls of blood at the same time.
On the other side, the Crimson Mother, who had been struggling to resist the Silver Dragon's energy, also felt a sweetness in her throat.
Blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
However, with the array destroyed, the oppressive suppression on her body vanished abruptly.
At this moment, she had recovered her half-step God King strength. Combined with having previously devoured the Abyss Holy Lord, she was now even stronger than at her peak and closer to true God King level.
"It's merely a silver dragon that attacks mindlessly."
"Once the Crimson Domain devours the entire Douluo plane, I may not necessarily lose."
The Crimson Mother decided to first deal with the plane consciousness of the Douluo Continent.
Suddenly, a heart-palpitating sense of oppression surged into her mind.
"Not good—"
The Crimson Mother hurriedly summoned her other exclusive super-divine artifact—the Crimson Moon Blade.
Compared to the scepter, which was suited for long-range attacks,
the Crimson Moon Blade was far more appropriate for close combat.
Starting from the tip of the Crimson Moon Blade, a blood-red hemispherical barrier enveloped and protected the Crimson Mother within.
"Bang!"
The barrier kept retreating.
In her line of sight, a sky-blotting wave of condensed divine power slammed into the barrier.
"Pfft." Bright red blood sprayed out, splattering onto the barrier in front of her and adding streaks of crimson around her.
The expression on the Crimson Mother's face darkened.
"Half-step God King strength, yet able to unleash power on the level of a God King."
"This empty-headed silver dragon is indeed abnormal."
The collision of their divine powers caused distortions that spread outward endlessly along with the energy.
Countless soul masters felt that suffocating terror and directly knelt to the ground.
"The array is broken." Ning Fengzhi's expression was grave. Even without seeing it, the oppressive pressure permeating the air was enough to make one's heart tremble deeply.
"I wonder how Rongrong is doing right now?" Having had her qi and blood drained earlier, she was now so weak it was unbearable. Forget fighting strength—even activating her martial soul was already impressive.
Moreover, Qian Renxue was still in the middle of her breakthrough, and Ning Rongrong seemed to have vanished without a trace.
"Sigh…"
Aside from the enormous Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that still hung faintly visible in outline high in the sky.
The sky was now completely empty.
On the other side, Golden Crocodile Douluo stood beside Qian Daoliu, his tone heavy: "Big brother, what should we do next?"
"We can do nothing. This is no longer a place where soul masters like us can interfere. Besides, most of our power was drained by the array. We won't be able to fight for a short time."
"But if this continues, I'm afraid the entire continent…" Golden Crocodile Douluo also sighed. "We don't even know how Xiaoxue is doing."
"Just wait." Qian Daoliu had never felt so powerless as he did now. The enemies appearing on the Douluo Continent were no longer something that could be dealt with by merely reaching level 100 and becoming a god.
If it were only level-100 godhood at their peak, they might still have a chance to fight.
But now, even the mere aftershocks were enough to cause anyone who approached to fall.
"Weng—"
Suddenly, golden light scattered across the sky.
"That's…"
Qian Daoliu's pupils contracted slightly as his gaze turned toward the high sky.
"It's Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda." Golden Crocodile Douluo exclaimed in shock.
"Nine Treasures Invincible Divine Light"
A clear voice rang out from the sky.
The falling golden radiance formed a barrier, isolating the Star Luo Empire and even farther regions.
A figure slowly descended.
Pink long hair fluttered in the wind. Her entire being carried an ethereal, otherworldly aura.
Like a mysterious maiden descended from the Ninth Heaven.
