Dragon King Of Apocalypse (Douluo Dalu 3) - Chapter 395
As Gu Yuena’s words rang out the formation in front began to tremble before a thunderous noise rang out.
Nine-colored clouds began to form from above, some gathering from all around with the skies also changing colors. Before the sky was clear blue but now began to change to nine-colored, lightning cracking through it.
The formation had only just activated, yet the most powerful lightning descended, piercing through space, blasting everything below. The dreadful noises that rang out were thunderous, blasting the Arkadians that were caught inside of it into smithereens.
But it wasn’t just the Arkadians but the Mortuus Creatures down in Star Luo Empire and Alvarez. Countless streaks of lighting were descending upon the Mortuus Creatures whose screams were ringing through the area.
The lightning contained an extremely terrifying destruction aura, reducing them to nothing as it began submerging them. The people on the walls of Alvarez were watching in shock as relentless streams of lightning descended.
They hacked down, showing no sign of stopping any time soon!
This was destruction without any way of life, wishing to massacre all existence in the formation. The Dragon God had made this formation for the sole purpose of oppressing the lower worlds if they tried going against his rule.
The lightning bolts that were hacking down were splitting asunder the ground below, some of the Emerald General tried to escape. But it was all futile, as anything caught in this formation would be meant with tribulation.
A streak of thunderous light hacked down, crashing down on the Emerald General, devouring its whole body. While exploding out with lightning radiance that was released everywhere, nine-colored lightning interweaving, forming the web.
At the same time, the bolts were striking down on Star Luo Empire. They were blasting down on the Mortuus Creatures, who tried to run while using the emerald glow around them as a shield.
Yet the emerald light around their figure couldn’t even last a second from a lighting bolt, shattering like glass in the next moment.
Before they were then devoured by the next bolt that started to dye the whole Empire in nine-colored lights.
Strangely enough, even with these terrifying streaks of lightning that were running amok in the empire. None of them were striking at the humans who were inside, as if the humans themselves didn’t exist in the first place.
This confused the Mortuus Creatures at first, some of them wondering if the humans weren’t affected by the formation. Or if they were hiding in a safe spot where the lightning won’t strike either way, they all began rushing frantically towards the humans.
In hopes of either taking the humans down with them or reaching the safe spot. Yet none of them could get into contact with the humans as nine-colored barriers began rising through the whole empire.
Producing a screen of nine colored light that separates the space between the humans and the Mortuus Creatures. The humans watched in disbelief and shocked as the lightning bolts struck down on the Mortuus Creatures from their side of the barrier.
The whole Empire was becoming a field of nine-colored lightning, with the screams ringing through the whole place.
But it was being engulfed out by the lightning.
The Nine-colored lights appeared in the Dou Lin Empire, on the battlefield where Na’er and Olux were battling at.
Na’er stared through the nine-colored barrier that was in front of her, blocking all of the time fragments that were crashing down.
Olux was currently at the center of the nine-colored lightning tribulation. The destructive power was even more vicious than the others.
Unlike in the other place where the lightning was being spread all over. This lightning tribulation was being poured down and erupting like a volcano in one spot, all on top of Olux
The lightning bolts were striking down on Olux head while the arcs were frantically surging all over its body. Peeling and tearing apart its metallic armor and causing the metals parts to come off before burning away.
Destruction aura was mixed with the lightning radiance, crashing into its body like raindrops. Various parts of its figure were turning pitch-black that was beginning to spread across Olux’s whole figure.
Someone cried out miserably, a streak of lightning that was comparable to heavenly tribulation piercing his body, turning it charred black. A bloody hole appeared in his chest, connected from front to back.
But if that wasn’t enough, an overwhelming onslaught of lightning dragons, shining with nine-colors began to descend on Olux.
They all brandished their fangs and teeth, chomping down on Olux while the others tore through its leg with their claw. The others chomped down on other parts of Olux figure, releasing thunder radiance that was shaking the area.
Olux tried to disregard them as it continued firing and unleashing its attack on the nine-colored barrier in front of it. Unwilling to lose before the opponent in front of it is at least dead, stimulating all of its gods might power through.
“Sorry but not even First Class Gods are strong enough to resist this formation… While its power is a far cry from its peak day, it’s still the formation that slaughtered gods like they were chicken.”
Na’er voice rang out causing Olux to stare deeply at Na’er who was looking at it with a look of disdain.
“Now begone.”
It was then giant streaks of lightning descended on Olux one after another, burning through space, forming a terrifying rain of light. It was accompanied by various lightning dragons that were releasing earth-shattering roars.
Olux was drowned in an expanse of nine-colored lightning, the electrical radiance that was dense and surging.
At the same moment, Gu Yuena was staring down at Rolux who was struggling against the lighting. It was trying with all of its might to resist the millions and millions of streaks of lightning that was striking all over Shrek Academy.
Its power was absolutely deafening if she didn’t evacuate the Soul Masters and reconfigured the formation to form a barrier around them.
So the lightning wouldn’t touch them, she knew they would have suffered the same fate as the other two races.
She stared at Rolux; his portals of the time were breaking and being devoured, the sea of light starting to swallow it.
Rolux was trying its hardest to escape, but it found it was futile as space and time were locked down. While the sea of thunder would devour any portal that showed up, as it started to reach up to the sky.
Rolux felt all of its lower half being devoured by the lighting and could only state at Gu Yuena in shock.
“You shouldn’t be so shocked, this was the only outcome for you all.”
Was all Gu Yuena said before the expanse swallowed Olux alongside the other Arkadians. The sea of lightning turned the whole Shrek Academy into an ocean of thunder before it all erupted upwards into the sky.
A nine-colored towering light could be seen piercing through the sky from all over the Douluo Continent. But it wasn’t just coming from the Douluo Continent but also from Ishgar and Star Luo Continent.
If one was to look at the world from outer space. They would see countless nine-colored pillars of light appearing across the Douluo Continent.
It took a while for the pillar of light to fade away, alongside the formation below her causing Gu Yuena to sigh.
“They must all be out of energy by now…”
From the beginning of this war, Gu Yuena was planning to end all of the Mortuus and Arkadians in one blow.
She knew their chance of competing with these two races wasn’t good. Especially since they all were attacking them at the same time, trying to gain their resources for their other war.
With this in mind, she took energy from the plane and used her energy for fuel for the Nine Dragon Kings in the bracelet. She then had Xie Xie and the Jade Dragon King move through the continents to have them set up the formation.
While they were doing this, she utilizes various plans to get the attention of both the Mortuus Creatures and Arkadian.
All of these plans were based on how to keep the attention of both of these races. This required her to accurately predict what they would do and how they could counter.
Something that wasn’t very hard for her, considering the millions of years of war she had. Alongside her knowledge of the dimensions of war itself that encompass countless higher-planes.
So while it looked like she was combating them in a battle of wits, she was simply stalling time for the whole formation.
“Hmm. Isn’t this where the humans say… Checkmate.”

The Emerald Emperor stared at a loss at the battlefield that was burned and charred beyond recognition to what it was formerly.
The army that it unleashed on the Alvarez Empire was wiped in an instant, leaving nothing behind except the fear.
The fear that they had another of those dangerous formations lying around and was just waiting for them to march again.
To spring it on them.
This thought left the Mortuus Creatures around the Emerald Emperor trembling, as the fear began to take grasp of them.
While the Emerald Emperor was trying to figure out when it fell under the traps and planning of their enemy.
It only had taken it a bit before it began to realize why the enemy’s movement felt so strange, why the plans felt odd to it.
‘They were buying time while keeping our attention..’
The Emerald Emperor had this thought once before but then it threw away after gaining an understanding of their enemy.
It didn’t believe the Douluo Plane had anything strong enough to really affect or be a danger to them.
The plane itself was super weak, close to death, and would be dead in the next ten thousand years when they arrived. While they noticed before the plan had restored some of its vitality somehow, they still didn’t believe it would matter much.
And yet seemed like it did.
“Emperor? What should we-”
“We retreat.”
“Huh? But what about-”
“Do you not see that our army just got wiped out? Even though we have about a hundred thousand of them leftover, what will that do?”
“Not only that but we don’t know if they have another one of those formations.”
One of the Emerald Advisors said after the Emerald Emperor spoke up causing the Emperor to nod its head.
“It’s unfortunate but we must retreat or be forced even deeper into the enemy hand. Have all of them get ready to teleport back to our realm. We are done for now.”
All of the Emerald Advisors had nodded their head before they began to leave the area, knowing the Emerald Emperor wished to be alone.
‘What will I tell the lord now? He is expecting this plane to be conquered and now I have failed him… Since we are at war, he won’t punish me but will after we conquered the other planes and this. Meaning I have time to earn some merits to get me out of punishment or lessen it at the very least.’
Thought the Emerald Emperor as he began trying to think of ways he could possibly gain them. One way would be to claim the heads of Abyssal Generals and turn them into one of their soldiers.
Not only would that cripple the Abyssal Army but also boost their army strength. While another would be to find a weakness of the Arkadians and exploit to their benefit.
‘There are more options but all with varying difficulties.’
The Emerald Emperor was brought out of its thought when it felt a trident stabbed right through its back and came out of its chest.
It felt the trident plowing through all of its bones and organs before coming out of it, while it began releasing a golden light.
‘What-‘
“Told you they would be fine even with the odds stacked against them.”
A voice rang out causing the Emerald Emperor to glance behind to see it was one of its Emerald Advisor.
“You… What are you doing-”
But the Emerald Emperor began falling silent as the advisor behind it began changing. No longer did it look like a Mortuus Creature but a human with goldish-white hair and blue highlights at the tip.
It was none other than Tang Wulin who was behind the Emerald Emperor and stabbed it through with the Sea God Trident.
“You’re a human…”
Tang Wulin didn’t say anything before the Sea God Trident erupted one more causing the Emerald Emperor body to explode.
Blood and limbs went scattering around the place while the green blood was being eliminated when it came near the trident.
Yet Tang Wulin wasn’t paying attention to that, his eyes moving across the room, following the movement of formless dull light.
This formless dull light was the Emerald Emperor who was trying to escape and was going to sacrifice his soldiers to revive.
But then it felt something was wrong, space around it began to change before being locked down completely.
“You may be able to hide from the others… But not from me who has already reached the next dimension.”
In the next moment, the Emerald Emperor found itself in Tang Wulin’s hand. It could only stare in shock not grasping how Tang Wulin could see it or was able to grab it before it began realizing.
“Don’t tell me, you broke the limit and became a-”
That was all the Emerald Emperor could say before it was completely crushed, as Tang Wulin closed his hand.
Turning the Emperor into emerald wisps that all froze before moving towards Tang Wulin and being absorbed by his body.
Completely killing the Emerald Emperor.
