Dragon King Of Apocalypse (Douluo Dalu 3) - Chapter 404

In a world of darkness where a sea of destruction and nine-colored lightning moved down on the ground.

One could see some remains of the Mortuus creatures who had either turned to ashes, erased from the world, or scorched to death.

Those who had been scorched to death, had their skeletal remains still lying around. Alongside these skeletons were a sea of bones that were spread out and buried in the collapsed building.

These were the Mortuus Creatures that came from the Abyssal Realm and had to focus on trying to survive the tribulation lightning.

That had continuously fallen on them during the month that went by. But even with their high cultivation levels and technology, they still weren’t able to fully survive the tribulation that was descending.

Leading to most of them being scorched alive, with their remains being the only thing left of them.

The rest of them had rushed towards the Emerald Lord palace for shelter, which was where they were staying for the time being.

But to their horrid dismay, the palace was the center of the lightning tribulation which struck down on their God. Yet the palace was still the safest place for them since Raaul was the one who was taking most of the lightning.

The Mortuus Creatures knew they had to help the Ivory Lord, Raaul. As he was the one who not only made them but also turns them all into what they are.

So they all knew the ramification of what would happen if Raaul was to die. Their existence would be coming to an end, something they desperately don’t wish to come to pass.

For the past month, they have been sending their faith and energy towards Raaul to help him overcome the tribulation.

In the Ivory Palace.

“Ugh…”

Raaul released a grunt as it felt the last bolt of tribulation hacking down on him before it began to fade away.

Just as it absorbed the last bit of origin energy from the Mortuus Creatures who had died before it returned.

Their death wasn’t hard to figure out. Which only increases the hatred it had for Tang Wulin and wishes to destroy him.

“…Finally.”

Raaul could finally release a sigh of relief at finally being free from that month-long torture. Just trying to survive and withstand the nine-colored chaos lightning was nothing but hell.

As that lightning had the strength to obliterate even the Gods themself. Even as a First-Class level being that tribulation had the potential to end it.

And that was before Tang Wulin went on pissing it off.

‘Regardless, I need to recover and plan for his attack.’

Raaul had already found the energy that was implanted in it by Tang Wulin. It could tell it was the reason why the Universal Law was attacking it and the other two.

Meaning Raaul needed to destroy it before the tribulation destroyed it. Normally its energy would have destroyed the one that seeped into its body but it was too focused on blocking the tribulation.

So Raaul was forced to destroy the energy bit by bit while he spent most of his time resisting.

‘If I was him, I would attack right when my enemies are almost done-‘

Raaul’s eyes narrowed when he felt something or someone breaking into his realm.

“Talk about timing.”

The sky above the Mortuus plane had shattered, with ten people falling down from the sky.

“Damn, this place looks like it’s been through hell.”

Xie Xie commented as he saw the sea of nine-colored lightning and purple destruction that had devoured most of the world.

If he didn’t know any better, he would have thought this was how the Mortuus Plane was. But Tang Wulin already told them about the tribulation which was coming to an end today.

But to think it was able to cause so much damage to the plane. Such a sight made Xie Xie shiver in fright, as he began to realize just how terrifying the lightning tribulation was.

‘And we may have to pass through it to become Gods?’

“Once we land, we need to rush towards where Raaul is. Na’er and I will deal with ending it while you two keep the Mortuus Creatures off us.”

“Wait, is there really no way we can help you two?”

“Sorry Xie Xie but you won’t be able to harm it as the dimension invulnerability will come into play.”

“Dimension invulnerability?”

“Just as how a 2-D being would never be able to harm or even outsmart a 3-D being. The same can be said for us 3-D beings against a God who is a 4-D being. Even if you were to have the same strength or firepower as those 4-D Gods, you still wouldn’t be able to affect them.”

Gu Yuena replied to Xie Xie causing him to frown while the others also displayed looks of frustration and annoyance.

This meant they would have to stick out of this battle, as all of them are only at the Limit Douluo level. With Mu Xi only just reaching the Qusai-God-Level but still being far from breaking into the God Level.

Na’er sighed as well but she couldn’t say much as the gods were a higher-dimensional existence. Those at the lower-dimensional even with their powers and abilities wouldn’t be able to affect them.

This wasn’t simply a difference in power but a dimensional barrier with the distance between being infinite. Unless they had a weapon that can allow them to break the god barrier, they were far out of luck.

In the next few minutes, they were able to enter the ivory palace which was decorated with countless pillars. Which had scorched marks on them, as well as cracks that were spreading out but were slowly mending themselves.

“Daring to invade this Lord’s palace without his permission? Die!”

That voice was loud, resonating within the corridor, shaking up the entire Mortuus plane. It was as if an almighty being had descended, inflicting pressure upon this world.

Gu Yuena frowned as she felt the overwhelming pressure sweeping through the area, crashing down on her and the others around.

This God-level being was indeed too powerful, even while it was severely injured, it was still able to display such strong pressure.

Pressuring her and forcing those who haven’t broken through to the ground. Gu Yuena wasn’t surprised, as a God can causally beat a mortal even if they are severely injured or close to death.

“What an annoyance.”

Gu Yuena replied to the voice as she thrust out a hand that erupted with nine-colors. The colors rushed forward, smashing the relentless pressure that was descending on them apart.

Such action led to the voice speaking out once again.

“You dare to refuse this Lord decree? Come and accept your death.”

The words of Ruaal made Na’er eyes narrowed, finding it both funny and annoying that a fly like Raaul would talk to her like that.

Back when she was the Dragon God, not even those God-Kings would be so arrogant in front of her.

But this weakened First Class God dares?

“Don’t worry, once we come over there, I will personally send you on your way. You don’t even need to beg me, this one is on the house.”

Na’er causally spoke back to the voice which led to the whole palace shaking even more.

“Arrogant!”

Raaul voices rang out that caused the pillars that were mending before to gain cracks as pitch-black darkness began to approach.

A hand that was covered in endless darkness and the laws of heaven surged over, smashing towards Na’er and the others.

The palm seems to control and contain everything in the world as a swirl of energy began taking form in its hand.

In the next instant, a chaotic universe was born in its hand!

Just its appearance alone was enough to suppress the mortals below the God-Level, as they felt the overwhelming might of heaven and earth.

While they felt their souls tremble as the universe that was in Raaul palm, descended upon them, wishing to erase them.

“So what?!”

A grand spear appeared in Na’er hand as she moved forward and pierced out with the Dragon Slayer Spear that erupted.

The Dragon Slayer Spear punctured through the air, releasing a vast number of nine-colored lights as it smashed into the palm in front.

The spear clashed with the universe!

A violent collision rang out, the entire Mortuus Plane trembling and shaking.

The walls around began to burst open, while the skydome above them started gaining cracks with countless storms forming.

Yet the palace still held on, as if it was a testimony to the material and energy that was put into building it.

But it shouldn’t be a surprise considering this place was the center of the Mortuus Realm. A plane that was a Semi-Divine realm, being able to make numerous First-Class Gods and many of them.

A God Officer had no hope of destroying it even with their world-shaking powers.

Even a First-Class God who mastered all of the 4th-Dimensional spaces would have trouble destroying this palace.

But this place had been recently struck by the nine-colored tribulation, making it far weaker than it should.

To the point that a God Officer could even damage it. Rocks began breaking off from the wall, while the pillars started to gain even more cracks.

As the dust began to clear, Na’er could be seen up in the air with the Dragon Slayer Spear giving off nine-colored lights.

While Raaul was across from her, wounds scattered around its body with scorched marks as well as a pale expression.

Yet it still was able to give off a terrifying pressure to those around.

“I know she said the difference between a mortal, and a God was between dimensions… But isn’t power also a factor here! He just made a universe in his hand and she just destroyed it like it was nothing!”

Xie Xie shouted in disbelief while he stared upwards through the nine-colored barrier that Gu Yuena made.

If it wasn’t for this barrier, they would have been obliterated from just the shockwave itself. Even though they all could reach the Qusai-God level with their Four-Words Battle Armor.

Compared to the God-Level, they weren’t even bugs worth noticing.

He now knew Gu Yuena wasn’t kidding when she said a God Officer alone could destroy their dimension just from not suppressing their power.

“Damn it, let’s move on… They will handle this.”

After Yue Zhengyu said this, the Ivory Lord eyes glowed at Na’er before it opened its mouth.

“To think your sorry state of a plane could have more God-Level beings.”

“Funny, last time I checked. Our plane wasn’t the one that was scorched black with seas of destruction and lightning running amok.”

“…You are a cheeky one.”

“Enough talk, let me just send you on your way.”

Na’er shouted as she raised her nine-colored spear that began to emit a nine-colored radiance that lit up the world.

Nine-colored brilliance flowed outwards out of the spear, surrounding her in its light with the sounds of dragon roar.

Alongside multiple ethereal and spectral colored dragons began appearing.

All of them were seamlessly moving and coiled around the nine-colored spear. Before it swept out, turning into a streak of nine-colored light, slashing towards Raaul.

The Onyx Cal appeared in Raaul hand, producing a pitch-black light that began to devour the area around it as it chopped out.

In the next moment, these two weapons clashed with each other, sparks flying in all directions.

The intent and energy that erupted between the two were too terrifying, collapsing the void around them while the sky gained more cracks.

Then, Raaul eyes flashed as it began to release a formless intent that assembled itself into the shape of a spear.

A spear that began to fuse with the laws as it pierced towards Na’er head, wishing to puncture through her skull.

As the spear reached Na’er head, it began to slow down and down, till it seemed to be motionless as if it was solidified in time.

Then the formless spear began trembling as space around it began compressing down on it before it shattered into pieces.

“Interesting. You can create an infinite distance between yourself and attacks? Even at our level, it would require me to be at a higher-dimension to shatter that.” Raaul aura began growing darker and darker, as its deep cold eyes began to emit a grey light.

“You talk too much.”

Na’er stabbed out with the spear as it erupts with nine-colored radiance, as it pierced through the air towards Raaul.

Various dragons began moving around the spear as it erupted in nine-colored lightning that made Raaul eyes narrowed.

Raaul’s aura began to overflow as it chopped out with Onyx Cal once again that clashed with Dragon Slayer Spear.

The skies split apart while the space around them began shattering.

Pitch-black darkness began to rush out towards the nine-colored lightning, both trying to devour the other. With the pitch-black darkness having the advantage over the nine-colored lights, since it was a higher-level divine weapon.

Yet Raaul’s expression changed, as he swiftly pulled back Onyx Cal while he hacks towards the right side, which was illuminated in lights.

On the right side the seven elements were hacking down on Raaul; they all came in numbers that far surpass Raaul’s imagination.

As he saw thousands of elemental balls rushing frantically towards him like a relentless stream that collided with the wave of darkness.

But that was only a moment of relief as a spear instantly reached him, puncturing through his side.

Right as he countered the elemental balls but then Na’er began to frown as she saw Raaul break down into pieces.

Appearing a few meters away from her while Gu Yuena appeared next to her, staring at Raaul whose eyes were glowing a pitch-blackness.

“So you both wish to fight me…”

“I hope you aren’t going to scream it’s unfair.”

“Nonsense, it just makes my job easier.”

Na’er was sick of Raaul noise, holding the spear, she hacked down with her full might, utilizing all of the elements around.

Directly splitting the skies, as a terrifying great crack appeared, as the spear reached Raaul in the next instant.

But it was blocked by a black hole that appeared in front, devouring and warping everything around it. Gravity, the laws, light, and even reality started to be twisted as the black-hole started to expand outward.

Wishing to devour Na’er and Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena thrust out her palm, which erupted in nine-colors lightning. As the palm smashed into the black-hole, an earth-shaking power rippled out, blasting everything apart.

Violent waves of nine-colored energy and the pitch-darkness of the black hole began surging through the sky.

But that surged was pierced through, as a flowing stream of nine-colored lightning rushed forward, instantly tearing through the waves of energy.

But that lightning was met with Raaul divine consciousness and pitch-black darkness that moved to devour it.

As these two attacks clashed, they tore through space around, forming unimaginably terrifying shockwaves.

That was spreading through the skies and producing even more cracks in the sky.
