Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1858: He’ll Be Back

What was happening? 

The earth was quaking; the entire planet seemed to be trembling! The sky was shaking, and it could be seen that massive cracks had appeared in the distant sky, spanning an area of tens of thousands of square meters!

Terrifying suction force surged out of these cracks, and even from the battlefield, it could be seen that countless units of seawater were being drawn up and devoured by these cracks. It was as if a reverse waterfall of seawater had taken shape between heaven and earth, presenting an awe-inspiring sight to behold.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to gawk at this miraculous spectacle.

In the next instant, a fearsome energy storm swept forth from the distance in a frenzy.

Having traveled over such a long distance, the energy storm had already been weakened significantly, but all of the powerful beings on the battlefield still had to resist with all their might to prevent themselves from being swept away.

Good heavens! What kind of power could’ve triggered something like this?

Everyone was astonished. Thankfully, the human air units were quite far away in the distance, and they had all activated their protective barriers right away. Even so, they were still swept away for several kilometers before finally coming to rest again.

In terms of pure energy output alone, this explosion was not inferior to the Eternal Heaven blast! Perhaps the explosive power at the epicenter of the explosion would still be rather lacking, but it definitely wasn’t inferior by much when it came to overall power.

Light Dark Douluo’s expression suddenly changed drastically as she let loose a panicked cry, and she immediately disengaged herself from her battle as she transformed into a giant golden and black dragon, flying frantically toward the direction the explosion had come from.

Just now, she had sensed an extremely familiar aura in that enormous energy storm, and she knew exactly whom this aura belonged to.

However, as the energy storm arrived, that aura was fading at an astonishing rate.

“No, no, no!” Long Yeyue was yelling to herself in panic and horror as she pushed her elderly body beyond its limits, reaching a higher speed than she had ever achieved.

The sea was churning, and after devouring a gargantuan amount of seawater, the cracks in the sky were slowly closing,

Atop a giant wave stood a single person; it was none other than Chen Xinjie.

He appeared to be as immovable as a mountain, but if one were to pay close attention, they would discover that his eyes had already completely dimmed.

The entire breastplate of his four-word battle armor had been shattered, and even though it was doing its best to repair itself, the purplish-golden light clinging to those cracks completely thwarted those efforts.

Not only that, but even his Sea God’s Helmet had a crack running down the middle, extending all the way to the front. The divine tool’s aura had been significantly weakened, and it felt as if it could shatter at any moment.

However, Chen Xinjie’s chest remained tall and proud, and his hands were clasped behind his back, while the sea was carrying his body from below.

In the distance, there was a purplish-golden figure hovering in mid-air, and she was appraising Chen Xinjie surprise in her eyes.

A trail of purplish-golden blood was flowing down from a corner of her mouth, and her hair was looking rather disheveled, while her breathing had become quite urgent and shallow. The purplish-golden energy around her was rippling in an unstable manner, and she said in a cold voice, “You should be very proud of yourself for being able to hurt me, Chen Xinjie.”

Chen Xinjie sighed, “It’s a pity that it still wasn’t enough. In any case, I’m glad I got to experience godly power in the twilight of my life. If I were 50 years younger and could survive from this ordeal, then perhaps I really would have a chance to pursue that world.”

Demon Sovereign’s cold eyes softened a little upon hearing this. “You are a man who pursues extremes. At the very least, you are one of the very few humans whom I’m slightly fond of.”

A mocking look appeared on Chen Xinjie’s face. “I don’t need fondness from someone like you; I’m just disappointed that I wasn’t able to stop you. Even so, you won’t succeed, Demon Sovereign. I can sense that he’s about to return, and once he does, he’ll stomp you into the dirt like an ant.”

Demon Sovereign’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this. “Are you talking about him? Even he does return, I’ll kill him just the same! He better return soon. Otherwise, once I create my Divine Realm, I’ll make sure he never leaves!”

“You don’t succeed,” Chen Xinjie said with absolute conviction in his eyes.

Right at this moment, a melodious dragon’s roar rang out, and a black and golden dragon approached the scene from the distance at an astonishing speed. The golden scales gradually turned white to contrast with the black half of the dragon’s body, and the air around the dragon was warping violently in the face of the dragon’s raging blood essence fluctuations.

Even in the face of Demon Sovereign, Chen Xinjie hadn’t displayed so much as a single hint of fear, but upon seeing this figure, a horrified look finally appeared on his face.

He mustered up all of what little remained of his strength, and yelled with all his might, “Go away! Get away from here!”

However, the dragon seemed to be unable to hear him, and it was still approaching rapidly, arriving on the scene in the blink of an eye.

The dragon let loose a grief-stricken cry at the sight of Chen Xinjie before descending from the heavens, reverting back into its human form as it did so.

Long Yeyue drifted down in front of Chen Xinjie and threw his arms around her.

“Xinjie, please don’t scare me like this.” Her voice was trembling as she was completely unable to sense any life force remaining in Chen Xinjie’s body, and that scared her more than anything ever had.

She felt as if her own breath was about to cease.

This man had affected her throughout her entire life, and it could almost be said that he had ruined her life, but seeing him on the brink of death, none of that was important anymore.

At their age, they had already made peace with the concept of death, but that only applied to themselves; how could she possibly make peace with the fact that the person she loved more than anyone in the world was about to die?

Demon Sovereign had been radiating killing intent just a moment ago, but after hearing that heartbroken cry, it was as if her heartstrings had been violently tugged on, and she shuddered as she lowered her hand again.

Strong emotions began to surface in her eyes as she watched Long Yeyue throwing her arms around Chen Xinjie, and she couldn’t help but think back to her past.

Once upon a time, she was just like this human woman. However, at the time of her husband’s death, she wasn’t even able to see or say anything to him.

At the time, she had been living a life free from concern and worry in the gentle sea. Under her husband’s protection, the sea was not just their home, but also their territory upon which no one could encroach.

However, her husband was dead just like that, killed by Sea God Tang San.

From that day forth, she suddenly discovered that the sea soul beasts that had treated her with the utmost respect were beginning to change. They began to invade her husband’s former territory, and her home was destroyed.

If it weren’t for the fact that his husband had given her his precious whale bead following his death and arranged a plan for her to ensure self-preservation, she and her daughter would’ve most likely already been hunted down.

However, the unforgettable hatred and yearning for her passed husband refused to fade in the slightest even over the span of 20,000 years.

She was pursuing vengeance, not just against the human race, but also against all sea soul beasts. Her heart had been driven to insanity, and right as she was transforming the ocean into a sea of blood, she encountered the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

They temporarily convinced her to calm down by suggesting that they had a way to resurrect her husband.
