Chapter 340 - Rumbling

As the Demon Monarch Alba was split in half, his blood splashing out, Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie released a sigh.

But they didn't lower their guards yet, as they knew they had to destroy his soul as well, for him to be fully dead.

As those at the Qusai-God Limit Douluo level were beings that defied the common sense of the world and all monsters in their own right.

It wasn't wrong to say, they could take on dozens of Limit Douluos at once and still not be on the losing end.

As their comprehension in the laws, cultivation base, and battle experience far surpassed those weaker than them.

But this was only if they weren't familiar and their powers didn't get countered so effectively. The defeat of the Demon Monarch Alba wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface.

For one, Alba didn't believe that Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie would have such a rapid and terrifying growth in such a short time.

Such as Xie Xie being able to outspeed him, his terrifying growth in the temporal and spatial powers, as well the ability to affect even him.

As the last time they fought, Alba dominated Xie Xie and the others, to the point they could barely resist or put up a fight.

Secondly, they knew most of the Demon Monarch Alba skilled and move-sets, giving them an advantage in the fight.

While Alba knew some of theirs, that was only back when they were Soul Emperors, which was vastly different from their Title Douluo self.

And finally, their powers counter the Demon Monarch too well. Xie Xie space-time powers that delayed and reduced Alba actions to the point, he became a punching bag.

Yuanen Yehui's spiritual domain was able to nullify and seal Alba's power before ending him with her Fallen Anima sword.

From the beginning of the fight until the end, Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie had an overwhelming advantage.

Even if one was vastly stronger, a fight was determined more than things on the surface.

Fallen Anima burst with purplish-gold flames before hacking down on Demon Monarch Alba purplish-gold soul.

Alongside Xie Xie who slashed through space-time to cut it apart. Yet just as their attacks reached the Demon Monarch's soul, space around it began to freeze.

Fallen Anima clashed with the laws around Alba's soul while Xie Xie Dimensional Cleave cut through the obstructions and split Alba's soul in half.

But that was just it.

Alba's soul was still intact even while split, showing the terrifying prowess of those who reached the peak of the world.

Demon Monarch Alba's split soul began to tremble before it dashed towards the Everglade mountain while giving off a terrifying light.

But it wasn't just his but the souls of the people who came with Alba began to leave their dead body to their shock.

When Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie saw this, their expression turned grim as they instantly understood what Alba was trying to do.

They began to quickly release their techniques and soul skills out, hoping to destroy the souls before it reached Everglade mountain.

But it was all useless, as the split body of Alba began to tremble before it exploded out, surrounding them in a fiery light.

An expanse of raging flames began to revolve around Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie who were glittering their teeth as this stopped them in their tracks.

The flames swept upwards, reaching to the sky, the temperature of the flames was melting the ground and space.

But it only took a few seconds for them to burst out of the expanse, yet it was a few seconds too late.

As the souls reached the Everglade Mountain before giving off a resplendent light and releasing a massive explosion.

The explosion expanded towards the Everglade Mountain, smashing into the barrier before causing it to tremble endlessly.

And then the explosion began to devour the whole Everglade Mountain, stirring up a gale that began to sweep through the whole area.

Xie Xie quickly moved to Yuanen Yehui before pulling her into his embrace and taking them into the dimensional gap.

Just as the explosion swept through where they were.

As the Title Doulosa and Qiangu Dongfeng were looking for Gremory body, the ground beneath began to shake.

Before it burst open, showing the figure of Gremory who was battered with wounds and frost around her figure.

"Well now~, even more people have shown up~" Said Gremory with a soft voice as she glances around seeing the new faces.

Qiangu Dongfeng didn't care for anything she was about to say as he summoned his Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand.

'Unyielding Staff: Shock Heaven and Earth.'

A terrifying aura erupted from Qiangu Dongfeng, alongside the air warping as he held his Coiling Dragon Staff.

He struck out with his Coiling Dragon Staff, space shattering as the staff began to enlarge, with the intent to shatter heaven and earth.

Even Gremory had her eyes widen as she felt the suppression of heaven and earth causing her to become serious.

'Pleasure Realm.'

Gremory figures began to glow before a purplish-pink light began to erupt from her just as the Coiling Dragon Staff smashed into her.

Pushing her down to the snowy grounds, forcing her deep into the sea before she was lifted with the staff in tow.

As she was lifted, another staff appeared in the sky, descending from the sky in a manner that was similar to the earlier attack.

But this time, the attack was infused with staff soul and the laws of the world which was broken before being commanded by the staff.

Gremory was once again struck by the Coiling Dragon Staff, it ferociously smashing her down back into the ground.

Like a shooting descending comet, she was driven into the ground akin to a nail. Everything from her face to her toes was submerged in the ice and snow.

Yet Qiangu Dongfeng wasn't down as he began to twirl the Coiling Dragon Staff, getting ready to unleash another move.

"Now, now~, Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The main event is just starting." Said Gremory, with her voice ringing through the whole battlefield.

Just as the whole northern land began to shake and rumble, with pink runes began to appear all around.

"This... What are these strange patterns... And why do I sense such a large amount of energy?" Questioned one of the Title Douluo as they looked around in shock.

"... This is mostly like what she is going to use to awaken the God-Level creature. It seems this is what she has been aiming for from the beginning." Said Qiangu Dongfeng, instantly understanding and grasping the rune's purpose.

His words caused the people around to widen their eyes in shock while Gremory only chuckled in amusement.

As she began to rise from the ground, snow, and ice dropping from her body while she began cracking her neck that became stiff.

"As expected from someone that reaches our level, figuring out everything from just a glance~. Unlike the others, I chose a more interesting approach for the awakening of this beast but it required a bit of time." Said Gremory with a giggle.

"When..."

"Hm?" Questioned Gremory as she saw the look of shock in Mu Xi who was glancing all around.

"Just when did you set this rune? Was it when we were trapped in that world? Or was it while you were forced under the snow?" Questioned Mu Xin in slight disbelief.

One has to understand that she and Xu Xiaoyan arrived right as Gremory came to this location. So they didn't believe she was able to set this formation before they came.

Not only that but they were watching Gremory from the beginning of the fight till now. They were wondering just how could they miss her doing this.

"My sweet dear~... Just when did you gain the thought, you guys were in control of our little fight?" Questioned Gremory with a tilt of her head.

"...What-"

"I will admit the control of the fight kept on switching between us but if it simply based on who completed their goal. Well, you were played from the beginning, as throughout that whole fight I have been setting the rune, sorry dear~" Said Gremory causing Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi expression to turn even grimmer.

Qiangu Dongfeng could only sigh, not blaming Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyan, as he understood just how terrifying Gremory was.

'She is a true control master... While Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyan thought they were thinking tens of steps ahead, she was most likely twenty and even more steps ahead of them.'

"Now then, awaken~" Said Gremory, just as the rune released a light before it began to erupt from below them.

Qiangu Dongfeng quickly expanded his soul power, creating a shield around everyone, alongside the Title Douluo help.

Before the whole Northern Land was covered in a blinding white light.

"Annoying." Muttered Ming as his whole body was bleeding as he stared at the kneeling form of Wu Siduo, Yue Zhengyu, and Dai Yun'er.

"Damn... Even with all of that, you are still fine." Muttered Yue Zhengyu with a bitter chuckle causing Ming to arch a brow.

"You considered this being fine?"

Ming could only sigh as he didn't think he would be pushed to this far when he was given this task.

'Oh well.'

"Now then, let me send you on your way-"

"That should be my line." A voice rang out causing Ming's expression to change as hacked out to his left with his sword.

Just as a spear came piercing down upon him, spear and sword!

The sword was shattered with Ming being pushed back as an ear-splitting rang through the place, as the figure of Guan Yue.

In his battle armor that was giving off a bright light, Skycrosser Divine Spear was in his hands that gave off a jade light.

"Even more pests? Well, it's fine... They should be, just about done." Said Ming As he glances to the side.

Just as the sounds of explosions rang through the area causing Yue Zhengyu and the others' expressions to change.

"Damn! They launched it."

"Don't feel down... You guys did well to survive, you should take solace in that." Said Guan Yue with a faint smile as he moved towards Ming with calm movement.

Even as there was a series of explosions ringing in the back.

"You could have stopped them from firing these off, why did you?" Questioned Ming but Guan Yue only shook his head.

"Then the future generation would have ended. Right now they are in an important phase of their life, geniuses who will surpass even us." Said Guan Yue as he chose the future of the world over the present.

When Yue Zhengyu and the others heard the words of Guan Yue, they couldn't help but feel warmth ringing through their chest.

As well as anger that they couldn't beat Ming, allowing the Skycrosser Douluo to stop the Monarchs from launching the weapon.

But Guan Yue didn't think so.

Either way, the ground began to shake as the miniature sandstorms began to form around all of them.

As well as fissures began to open up, with tranches that were opening up and a terrifying pressure reverberating through.

"Die! Die! Die!" The shouts of Er Ming could be heard as he released countless amounts of punches that were raining down on Xeno's body.

Xeno was gritting his teeth, finding it difficult to escape their blows, even with his power being boosted by nature around.

What made it worse was that Er Ming was using his full strength and power, going all out to push Xeno close to death.

Knowing he can't hold on for much, Xeno only sighed before his body began to release a brilliant light as he started to connect with nature.

Just as Er Ming struck down, smashing his body apart and destroying his soul.

But right before Er Ming could shout in triumph, he felt the whole area shaking as thousands upon thousands of roots began to erupt from the ground.

Yet that wasn't what made Er Ming pause, it was the building up energy inside of these roots around the mountain area.

'Shit!'

Er Ming swiftly moved, grabbing Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan before dashing out of the area. Just as all of the roots released a terrifying light before a massive explosion erupted in the area.

Covering the area in a blinding flash of light, that Er Ming and the others were lucky to escape by an inch.
