Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 363 ---

"Liu Erlong."

"Dugu Bo."

"Take care of the portals near you. Don't worry much about your post because the Sun and Moon Empire won't touch them. We have detected a small transportation moving secretly toward the Douluo Continent."

Bibi Dong ordered David to widen the satellite's view and shared it with everyone's mini map. "Watch out for an ambush. I don't want the Bright Spirit Empire to lose its precious assets." She commented lastly.

Hearing the Empress's order, even the famous Uchiha Madara couldn't help but smile in amusement. The use of "Precious Assets." is somewhat endearing for them, considering Bibi Dong's permanent cold expression in the last three years.

"What an unselfish woman." Liu Erlong laughed and manifested her Hell Dragon's Wings, flying to the nearest portal with the Dragonborn Unit following her.

She concentrated Fire Energy into her left fist and watched a swarm of Abyssal Beast pouring from the Abyssal Portal. There are at least five portals in this one location.

"Hell Dragon's Fist." Liu Erlong launched a fiery fist at the Abyssal Beasts.

A massive clump of fire energy descended from the sky and raised the ocean's temperature, evaporating the sea water into hot steam.

BOOM!

The Abyssal Beast turned into dust, leaving no enemy for Liu Erlong to burn. She killed over ten thousand enemies with one attack and made the Dragonborn Unit awe in surprise.

They had lived under Liu Erlong's care for three years and watched her strength grow tremendously, but no one in the Dragonborn Unit ever saw her full power. Even when Liu Erlong had sparred with other commanders, only a handful of people could witness it.

There is a conflict between Crimson Dawn Squad and Dragonborn Unit because their commanders possess mastery over Fire Element, causing them to argue about who is more skilled.

And It ends somewhat miserably.

Uchiha Madara walked out of the Training Ground with a half-charred body and said three lines of words.

"My fire is controllable, and It can obey my will to achieve many things. No matter if it was for Ninjutsu or just Fire Manipulation."

"However, that mad woman's fire purpose is for pure destruction. It's Raw and seems to come from Hell itself."

"And yes, I'm the winner. Stop arguing." The arrogant Uchiha Madara walked away, leaving the destroyed Training Ground. Liu Erlong stood in the center with a fiery body in a state that was neither alive nor dead.

That day, Uchiha Madara discovered Yunlong possessed more than one mad woman on his side. Liu Erlong was talented from birth, but trash hindered her growth for years.

After the limitation was gone, Liu Erlong's cultivation and strength skyrocketed rapidly. Even the Spirit Hall's Elders had never seen someone 2nd awaken their martial soul out of pure training.

The Hell Dragon Douluo, she's the one and only Comandress of the Bright Spirit Empire.

BOOM!

Liu Erlong firmly clasped her hands and created a spark between her palm, releasing a drumming sound in the area. She manifested her Spirit Rings and dyed the sea with scarlet color.

"Comandress, 10 O'Clock!" Alaya shouted from afar, but with the earpieces, Liu Erlong could hear her pupil's concern.

Liu Erlong instinctively lifted her leg mid-air and kicked with all her base strength might, sending a wave of hell flame.

BAM!

SPLASH! BOOOOOM!!

"They sent a space-warped attack right to my place. What an annoying group of trash." Liu Erlong focused her gaze on the farthest portal, seeing Abyssal Beast with a tube-like thing on its back.

This Abyssal Beast also appeared blind because Liu Erlong couldn't spot any eyes on its body.

"Spatial Beast. This annoying thing could launch an attack through warped space like a wormhole, catching their prey off guard and usually killed in one try."

"East Coast was terrorized by this Abyssal Beast for a week and killed many lives. And If it wasn't for Gu Yuena's Spatial Lock. We wouldn't be able to kill it."

'Tch, I don't want to call for Gu Yuena's help.' Liu Erlong cursed while resisting another island-sized ammunition thrown at her. This thing appeared instantly from thin air.

BOOM!

Liu Erlong blasted the Spatial Beast's attack with her hell flame and quickly planned a counterattack. She has read several reports about Spatial Beast and its weaknesses.

As A Limit Douluo, Liu Erlong's spatial awareness is pretty high, and every tear in the space fabric should get uncovered if she focuses for a moment.

And the Spatial Beast doesn't just send one attack this time. Liu Erlong detected seven island-destroying ammunitions coming to her position.

"Ah... This bastard." A wide grin cracked on Liu Erlong's beautiful face. A bloodthirsty grin that makes everyone in 2 kilometers radius shiver out of survival instinct.

At the central control room, David slapped his desk in disbelief and shouted, "DRAGONBORN UNIT, FUCKING RETREAT FROM YOUR POSITION!"

"NOW!!"

Alaya used her mass-teleportation spirit skill and moved every Dragonborn Unit around her, sighing in defeat.

BOOOOOOOM!

A scarlet pillar of destruction rose from Liu Erlong's body and completely evaporated everything near her. She's like the literal embodiment of the sun right now.

The Spatial Beast's attacks could even touch Liu Erlong's body and burn to nothingness instantly when entering her domain. A blazing firestorm manifested and slowly turned into a massive scarlet dragon.

"Burning Fang-like Blade." Scarlet pulled out a sharp fang from the Scarlet Dragon's mouth and made her hand bleed, but instead of blood, everyone could see liquid-like fire lighting up the whole tooth. It becomes a great sword a second later, burning continuously with scarlet fire.

She looked at the Spatial Beast and taunted, "Come here, you little bastard. Attack me again with your attacks!"

"I want to see you try..." Her eyes gained a slit like a dragon.

ROAR!

The Spatial Beast was offended and roared angrily, charging an attack the size of a big island. One hundred orbs compressed into the Spatial Beast's tube and reappeared on Liu Erlong's side.

An attack that could destroy 1/4 of the Douluo Continent faced the Bright Spirit Empire's Commandress. Everyone who does know Liu Erlong felt a tight squish in their heart, gasping at the size of the Spatial Beast's attack.

A massive shadow covered the ocean.

No way a human could survive this.

But.

Liu Erlong wasn't a pure human anymore. She became True-Blooded Dragon three years ago with Yunlong's blood essence.

"Haha..." Liu Erlong laughed happily.

"Good job, you little bastard."

"Now, go die."

It was too quick for anyone below Hyper Douluo to react. Even with Satelite's observation, David Shield needed to slow down the recording by 30 times.

In just a blink of an eye, Spatial Beast's attack disappeared.

And not only that, the Spatial Beast was erased from existence a hundred miles away. Liu Erlong stood where the beast formerly stood and burned everything around with the fanged greatsword.

"W-What happened..." Someone in the control room rubbed her eyes.

"I can't see what happened in Sector W9, N16."

"Comandress Liu Erlong seemed to teleport to that location and killed the Spatial Beast instantly without leaving any trace."

Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "It's Liu Erlong's weapon. Or more so of her Hell Flame."

"Liu Erlong created a greatsword with the manifestation of her Hell Flame. The blade burned even hotter than the sun at its peak, but she contained it with her hands."

"As for the instant movement..."

"She melted the space fabric and probably traced Spatial Beast's origin from the ambush attack. An attack with a great island-like size should have left a big enough tear for her to melt it."

"Since the attack originated from Spatial Beast's tube, Liu Erlong could instantly launch a killing blow."

"Hotter than the sun at its peak..." The observer mumbled to herself.

"And melting the fabric space... Is that even possible??"

David Shield smiled wryly and commented, "We traveled to another world, so throw your logic out the window. Science and Physics aren't the only laws in this bizarre universe."

"Have you forgotten that Yunlong dropped tower-like swords at All for One in Kamino Ward? Japan should have felt continuous earthquakes at that time. At least Yunlong holds his strength back and doesn't lead the shockwave spread, or Japan's population will become even lower." He added casually, rubbing salt on Japan's heroes Yunlong recruited.

The observers in the central monitor room became awfully quiet and gulped their nervousness. Yes, they completely blanked that memory from their heads because what Yunlong did in the past was considered God-like to them.

"I can hear you, David." Kaina Tsutsumi's annoyed voice rang in the room.

"Stop joking around and focus on your damn job!"

Back to Liu Erlong, she breathed out and swung her greatsword to the Abyssal Portal. She wasn't a sealing master like Madara, but her HellFire should be able to melt Abyssal Portal down.

Abyssal Portal is part of the Abyssal Plane, a single living organism brought by the Sun and Moon Empire to this world. It was also the sub-dimension Zetsu had been searching for the last three years.

By sealing these portals, Abyssal Beasts will stop pouring out into this world. However, Liu Erlong closes the black gate in her way.

She melted the portal with intense flame and cauterized the fabric space from being infected by Abyssal Plane's influence. And it was a great success.

Before meeting Yunlong, this shouldn't be possible, but his Godhood's Package helped her to develop HellFire better. After closing the portal, Liu Erlong contacted the main helicarrier and told everyone she could eliminate the portal too.

"Nice one, Liu Erlong." Dugu Bo's mouth twitched in annoyance.

"I don't have anyone with sealing power on my side. Our squad used nothing but fucking Poison!"

Dugu Bo currently floated in the air and stuffed his Divine Poison at the entrance of the Abyssal Portal. He's literally camping the Abyssal Beast's spawn and kills anything that comes out with his skill, but that doesn't solve the problem.

"A backup is on their way there," David responded while monitoring Dugu Bo's field. "Keep killing the Abyssal Beast for 5 minutes."

"No, 4 minutes should be enough."

Dugu Bu frowned and asked, "Who's this backup you are talking about, David?"

David smiled wryly and replied, "Elven Queen, Yun Lingxi."
