Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

— Chapter 324 —

“I’ll kill you!” Dou Ming roared in anger at Xue Nu. A purple ball of destruction appeared and flew to the sky, changing the gloomy battlefield into frightening scenery. Rumbling lightning crackles echoed in the world.

A hundred if not thousand or painful cries come out of the soldier’s mouths because they can’t handle Dou Ming’s presence. God of Destruction is at the same level as Asura God in the realm. They are both God Kings.

Of course, the strength will be different.

Asura God with [Law Executor’s God Power] can cut everything in this universe in half. This ability is so powerful that he could separate Dragon God into two different entities. His power is unique within the universal law, making him one of the strongest.

Meanwhile, God of Destruction is pretty self-explanatory. He controlled the Law of Destruction within the fifth dimension and below. Well, this alternative reality’s gods seemed weaker than the other counterparts.

Xue Nu frowned a little and countered the God of Destruction’s presence with her domain. Her Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice expanded to over fifty kilometers, covering the battlefield.

It caused a bizarre commotion among her fellow maids and companions. After all, They knew Xue Nu possessed powerful abilities, which meant her current opponent must be strong.

“Hmm?”

Still, The Heavenly Snow Woman felt her Snowy Dance of Ultimate Domain was reduced by slightly below 70% of the original size. Her eyes focused on the God of Destruction, sensing danger from him.

“You left me no choice, Eternal Snow Dimension.”

“Glacier of Northern’s Night.”

A white portal appeared behind Xue Nu and poured a ton of white snow into the battlefield. As the ground quickly was filled with snowy white, an aurora covered the sky. She was currently 999.999 years old in cultivation, needing a little push to reach one million.

What’s better than fighting a god to reach that? Xue Nu’s eyes turned dragon-like as her snowy robe gained some scales here and there.

“Destruction Wave.” Dou Ming teleported to Xue Nu and sent a palm coated with purple energy.

Xue Nu breathed in and calmly dodged by bending her body to the right, but Dou Ming had read that for some reason. His other hand moved and flew onto Xue Nu’s stomach.

BAM!

Dou Ming blasted Xue Nu to the sky.

Nevertheless, Xue Nu glided naturally in the air and returned the momentum by gathering cold air into her balled hand. Snowballs formed around her, accelerating toward Dou Ming.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Dou Ming felt a tickle and ignored the chips damages dealt by Xue Nu. He clenched his fist and summoned purple lightning from the sky, dropping it onto Xue Nu.

Crack! BOOM!

Xue Nu breathed out and created an arc filled with Ultimate Snow above her head, shielding herself from the attack. A sharp ax’s edge suddenly flew to her face, causing Xue Nu to use Snow Empress’s Palm.

BAM!

Xue Nu felt devoured for a brief moment as purple energy tried to destroy the outer layer of her skin. She looked down and saw God of Destruction with a hateful look on his face.

A small smile emerged on Xue Nu’s snowy face because the “Destruction.” failed. The purple energy fell off her skin and destroyed the ground below it.

“My Destruction??”

Dou Ming was stunned because his Destruction Energy weirdly was repelled by something. This woman should have devoured into oblivion, but she was somehow still alive and breathed well. Her spirit energy also became more powerful for some reason.

“This presence, Tang San-!” He quickly turned but didn’t see his comrade. Instead, there is a white-haired woman with Sea God’s Trident in her hand. He narrowed his eyes because he could feel Sea God’s Seat from her.

Kaguya arrived on the battlefield again and looked at her sister’s condition. “Xue Nu, are you okay?” She asked naturally, to which Xue Nu responded with a nod.

“Everything is under control for now. However, This man’s power of destruction weakened my Snow Domain greatly. I can’t gather enough force to injure him.” Xue Nu said while staring at Dou Ming solemnly. A God is not a simple individual, after all.

“I see…” Kaguya nodded in understatement because Xue Nu hadn’t reached her threshold yet. The Heavenly Snow Woman’s strength was close to God Rank, but her upbringing as Spirit Beast shackles that.

The Divine Realm fears another Beast God losing control over their sanity, like Dragon God, which is understandable.

Kaguya looked down at her palm and saw Sea God’s Seat in this alternative reality. Since Yunlong has already become Sea God’s Inheritor, it would be useless for him. After a few moments, she shook her head and said, “Hmm, I think Yunlong would like to see his maid become stronger too.”

Swoosh! BAM!

She instantly created a dimensional shield and parried the power of destruction from Dou Ming. Her Byakugan fluttered slightly, analyzing the secret behind Destruction Law.

“Haa… Is that so? This world is amusing.” She commented casually.

“What are you blabbering about, WOMAN! DIE!” Dou Ming jumped toward Kaguya.

BOOM!

Kaguya clenched her palm into a fist and skillfully struck Dou Ming’s abdomen with dimensional force, leaving a dent in his God of Destruction’s armor.

Cough!

The God of Destruction, Dou Ming, was launched several meters away and coughed blood. His Power of Destruction seemed to disarray because of Kaguya’s attack, causing a purple aura to leak out from his skin.

“Xue Nu, Catch.” A bright bluish golden traveled across the battlefield.

Xue Nu raised her hand and immediately grasped Sea God’s Trident. She was confused for a second, watching a bright oceanic-like blue gem in her palm. Her instinct told her to swallow this.

“With this… I could break my limit.” She muttered while closing her eyes, feeling every part of the ocean in this world. Every inch of the sea entered Xue Nu’s mind, flooding her with over a hundred thousand pieces of information.

Ting!

Like a loud bell, Xue Nu’s mind suddenly clicked with something Divine. And out of this world. She tried to hold onto the air and clenched her hand on the Sea God’s Trident. A divine light falls into the Douluo Continent and completely enshrines Xue Nu’s existence, accepting her as a new God.

Kaguya tilted her head and muttered, “Wait… That’s not Sea God’s…”

…

…

…

“Haa…”

A cold sigh echoed in the world.

Everyone instinctively looked up, finding a stunning woman silhouette between hailing snows.

The woman wore a beautiful long white dress with some snow and a purple sash wrapped around her thin waist. Her silky white hair was loose with a few blue strands, giving her a distinct contrast. As the Goddess opened her eyes, a pair of enchanting blue eyes with snowflake patterns mesmerized them.

A golden staff comes into their vision, releasing a bright white flame-like aura. It floated near the Goddess and seamlessly became one with her.

‘Is this how God felt? It’s empty…’ Xue Nu grazed her skin gently and created a snowstorm in some places.

She looked down lazily with half-opened eyes and stared at Dou Ming, who stood there speechless. The God of Destruction’s mouth was hanging in disbelief.

A soft chuckle comes from Xue Nu’s mouth, remembering her struggle against this man. After that, She lifted her finger slowly and whispered, “Everlasting Northern’s Winter…”

“Rou!” Dou Ming called for his Divine Weapon and raised it to the sky.

SWOOSH! BOOM!

Over one kilometer of avalanche dropped from the sky and swept over Dou Ming’s body, pushing him to the seashore not far away from the battlefield. He couldn’t move because Ultimate Snow locked his body in place.

Everyone shocked.

Some even rubbed their eyes to confirm the ridiculous scenery before them was genuine.

Xue Nu moved her gaze and smiled at her sister Kaguya. “Thank you.” She disappeared into the white portal and arrived at the seashore, where she sent Dou Ming.

Dou Ming submerged into the sea and waved his Divine Weapon to destroy the avalanche. It succeeded as he could finally be free from this annoying snow. He created a shockwave and pushed the seawater away.

“That woman… Did she become a new Sea God? How could that be? You cannot become a God effortlessly because every God’s Inheritors must pass harsh trials. Yet, with a single grasp over Sea God’s Seat, She…”

“It is because this world is doomed.” Xue Nu replied while floating in the sky. “Unlike my reality where the former Gods are still alive and connected to their Trial Grounds. This place is not. And Tang San, the last Sea God, doesn’t leave any protection over his God’s Seat, leaving it free for anyone to take.”

“That’s also a reason why you’re so weak… Let me guess, the previous God of Destruction doesn’t leave any technique for you. He survived the Divine War, but his life perished before he could even set his Trial Ground.”

“How did you know..?” Dou Ming’s face hardened.

Xue Nu placed her finger on her head and replied, “Sea God’s Seat recorded the history of this world. Precisely everything happened 10.000 years ago. Not only that, but it also contained why all the God Seat left was incomplete.”

“After the Divine War, all Gods perished because of Dragon God’s suicide attack. They were injured and sacrificed part of their Divine Soul and God Seats to survive.”

She let out an annoyed sigh and added, “You guys should have rebuilt the Divine Realm to stabilize this world, but fighting against each other instead. Sooner or later, this reality sadly was destined to be destroyed…”

“HOW COULD AN OUTSIDER LIKE YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR WORLD! YOU JUST COME OUT OF NOWHERE AND MAKE OUR LIFE MISERABLE!!” Dou Ming roared in anger. The audacity of this woman makes him furious.

“Makes your life miserable? How cute.” She giggled while covering her mouth. “You act like you were a saint who never took someone’s life. Wake up to reality, child. In this accursed world, nothing ever goes as planned.”

“And please, don’t act like you don’t know.”

Dou Ming’s body trembled, causing his power of destruction to shake the world. He doesn’t care anymore and wants to kill this woman more than anything. She hurt his fiance, Yun Fei, and that’s all that matters.

“World’s Break…” He flashed to Xue Nu and swung his overly large ax at her.

Xue Nu waved the golden staff in her hand and ran her most powerful technique. “Snow Empress’s Ultimate.” Her blue eyes shone with blinking white light.

“Absolute Zero Glacier…”

BAM!

Dou Ming’s ax instantly bounced away, leaving him off guard because even though he wore God of Destruction’s armor, Xue Nu was also in the same realm. He tried to create a barrier with the power of destruction but failed as the Heavenly Snow Woman froze his divine energy.

Left with limited choice, Dou Ming called his martial soul and summoned a white sword. He commanded his weapon to thrust forward and was confident Xue Nu would dodge. There is purple energy similar to the power of destruction in his sword, and anyone stabbed by it will die.

‘Annihilation Sword, I bet you’ll dodge. And at that moment, I’ll kill you with my final attack-.’

BLERGH!

Dou Ming spat a mouthful of blood and watched Xue Nu’s bleeding chest with a surprised gaze. His annihilation sword indeed stabbed her, but she didn’t even dodge.

How could that be?

Xue Nu’s staff also penetrated Dou Ming’s chest and sealed his God Seat with Ultimate Divine Snow. The attribute she gained after reaching Godhood. However, she wasn’t surprised like Dou Ming.

Tooth for tooth. Xue Nu doesn’t care about this wound.

“Why didn’t you dodge…” Dou Ming struggled and commanded the annihilation sword to destroy Xue Nu’s body. “You should know that my sword could kill you??”

Xue Nu smirked and sneered, “This is nothing but a flesh wound, child. You’re 1 million years too soon to be able to reach my heart.”

A crimson light exploded inside Xue Nu’s body, destroying her heart. She gritted her teeth and returned the act by shattering Dou Ming’s heart with her Divine Snow.

BOOM!

The man burst into pieces, leaving only the God of Destruction’s armor and Seat.

“What a short God’s life… We aren’t invincible, after all.” Xue Nu closed her eyes and fell from the sky.

…

…

“I won’t let you die this easily, Xue Nu.” Yunlong’s voice suddenly entered her ears.

“You know very well that your life means a lot to me.”

A warmth embraced Xue Nu’s body, causing her to open her eyes again. A handsome man stared at her with an angered yet worried look.

She giggled and responded, “Heh, Since when did my beloved master become so dramatic~?”

“What a naughty maid.” Yunlong shook his head and flicked her forehead gently. “No, you’re my goddess now, I guess?’

“What should I call you, Xue Nu?”

“You can call me like usual.” Xue Nu stared at Yunlong’s red eyes quietly. “Though, I’m the Snow Goddess, the Lady of the Nothern’s Winter… Whatever.”

Yunlong chuckled and returned, “Then, Xue Nu. Let me repay you for the hard work.”

…

Their lips meet with each other, falling into a passionate first kiss.

…

“Ah, It’s so sweet~.”
