Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

— Chapter 318 —

[Welcome to the Sword Realm]

Yunlong slowly woke up in a barren land filled with many kinds of swords. His red eyes widened because he couldn’t find the limit of this place.

Over millions of ancient swords were stabbed onto this barren land. Some of them are rusty, but some of them are also still sharp with unique shines.

“Hmm?” Yunlong raised his left hand and saw Bokken firmly placed inside his grasp.

[Sword God’s Trial has started]

[1st Wave incoming!]

Yunlong lifted his Bokken and raised his gaze, witnessing a giant sword made of ancient stone fly toward him. He breathed in and swung his sword gently. A clear white flash snapped the incoming weapon into two pieces.

BAM!

The giant sword’s pieces pierced the right and life sides of the ground, crumbling into dust.

[2nd Wave Incoming!]

“No rest for me, huh,” Yunlong said while waving the Bokken around, causing a series of white flashes everywhere. He didn’t take any step forward and watched the incoming giant swords crumble into dust.

Yunlong tried to sense the surroundings with his spiritual force because this wasn’t the real world. His eyes wandered to the entire place but stopped abruptly.

[3rd Wave Incoming!]

His lips curved because the giant sword multiplied by two. There are four of them now.

“Sword Intent” He infused his sword intent into the Bokken and released a dim white light. His “intent.” traveled through the edge and destroyed the giant sword into dust again.

[4th Wave Incoming!]

“Dao is a path.” A voice suddenly echoed in the Sword Realm.

“Everything in this universe possessed a Dao no matter how insignificant it was.”

“Only when someone who reached Apex could attain Dao.”

“Oh, Come one! Don’t give me this bullshit.” Yunlong’s mouth twitched slightly in annoyance.

He swung the Bokken and destroyed the giant swords with such ease. He cleansed some dust off his clothes and sighed in relief when the voice disappeared.

However, the next wave would disappoint Yunlong.

[5th Wave Incoming!]

“Sword Dao is one of the 3000 Great Dao in martial arts.”

“It’s not just merely mastering your sword.”

“Teaching a way of life is Sword Dao.”

Yunlong decided to disable his ears and commented, “Was Xue Nu hearing this bullshit for one and a half years? Like hell, it must be torture for her. Or maybe not.”

He tilted his head to the left and dodged the giant sword coming toward him. His Bokken clashed with another sword, making a weird spark. It’s odd because none of these are metal.

“Well, I can’t hear it anymore.” He shrugged casually. “It’s a good thing that I disabled my ears.”

[6th Wave Incoming!]

“What makes Dao of Sword special is not the power you get, but what you went through to get it.”

“Everything in this universe begets the impossible. That’s the way of going against Heaven.”

“The way of against Heaven is only possible when you’re capable of using Dao.”

Even after Yunlong disabled his ears, the voice could enter his head. “You must be kidding me… This Dao bullshit breaks through my spiritual sea’s defense.” Yunlong’s mouth gaped in disbelief.

[7th Wave Incoming!]

[8th Wave Incoming!]

[9th Wave Incoming!]

[10th Wave Incoming!]

[11th Wave…]

[12th…]

[…]

[…]

…

Yunlong breathed in and out, watching over a hundred giant swords flying toward him. His red eyes shone in annoyance but carefully scanned the incoming weapons.

After the 10th wave, He quickly noticed the giant sword became sharper and more powerful compared to earlier. The force behind it is also enough to kill Soul Douluo now.

[Divine Energy: 27%]

[Divine Energy: 27.09%]

“Hmm?” Yunlong stared at the system panel in awe. His rapid clash with the giant sword increased the Divine Qi inside his body. It’s a small percentage, but better than nothing.

[Sword Intent is evolving…]

Another notification popped up, and Yunlong could sense his sword intent become sharper. Even The Bokken gained an intense white gleam.

“I see. that’s why.”

“Haha…”

Yunlong grinned excitedly and shouted, “HAHAHA! GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR DAO OF BULLSHIT! GIVE ME MORE!!”

BOOM!

Like responding to his request, the sword realm exploded with a menacing aura.

[25th Wave Incoming!]

A flood of giant swords came from the horizon and approached Yunlong. His grin widened while tightening the grip around the Bokken.

Yunlong quickly ran forward, facing the flood of swords, with excitement. His slashes repelled the sword and destroyed most of them away.

CLANK! BOOM!

He used the Bokken to cut the incoming giant sword and kicked some of them away. He was bleeding, but the percentage bars kept increasing before his eyes.

[26th Wave Incoming!]

Yunlong ignored the system notification and flared his intent like no tomorrow.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Three mountain-like swords fell from the sky, and he casually repelled them with the back of his Bokken. The swords stabbed in the ground suddenly release a faint echo, reaching over Yunlong’s body.

[You have received Sword Echo from the Graveyard of Swords]

[Your Sword intent evolved into Sword Heart]

“More!”

“MORE!”

Yunlong’s movement became wilder yet more refined. His slash was able to destroy more than one thousand giant swords instantly.

…

…

An unknown amount of time later, we could see Yunlong in rag-like clothes. His body has become taller and adult-like with unkempt black hair. Yet, a grin always seemed to plaster his face.

[Sword Heart is evolving…]

Like music to his ears, Yunlong heard a familiar’s system notification.

[2690th Wave Incoming!]

“Nice, come here!” Yunlong pointed his Bokken at the sky.

…

He went through hundreds of waves and currently stood on top of a mountain. His Bokken has many crack marks but was sturdy enough to fight even Asura God’s Weapon. Yunlong was confident.

To Yunlong’s surprise, he blinked his eyes and returned to the Desolate Ancient Battle Arena.

“Master!” An excited voice echoed in the area.

Yunlong hurriedly moved his gaze and saw Yu Ning’er with tears running from her eyes. “What happened?” He responded with a confused expression.

“You’re falling asleep for an entire month,” Kaguya answered calmly from the other side. “We have found a way to break through the limitation. Still, the way out is limited for now.”

“Oh?” Yunlong was interested in Kaguya’s statement.

Kaguya continued, “You’ve entered a higher dimension for a month, but I bet you were there for years. After all, that sharp aura is very different from before.”

“Not only that, but your soul is also changing tremendously.”

Yunlong chuckled wryly, remembering what happened in the Sword Realm. “I’ve gone through some bullshit and intense training,” He answered casually.

“Don’t worry, though. I’m fine and healthy.”

“Are you?” Xue Nu narrowed her eyes, checking Yunlong’s body from afar. She was sure something had changed within her master.

Yunlong smiled at Xue Nu and replied, “Yeah.”

After he explained most of the things that happen in the Sword Realm, they began to calm down. A maid raised her hand at Yunlong’s story.

“Can I enter the Sword Realm too?” Chu Xiaoyu jumped off the ground and asked immediately. There is no way she wouldn’t be excited after hearing Yunlong’s story.

A realm filled with swords and enlightenment intent? That’s like Chu Xiaoyu’s dream.

Yunlong pondered for a moment and answered, “You can, Xiaoyu. Believe in yourself.”

“Mm, noted.” Chu Xiaoyu nodded like a chick.

He told them to train even more and pushed the limit of their mastery.

After a month, Chu Xiaoyu also entered a higher dimension called [Thousand Sword World], where she honed her sword diligently, but somehow different than Yunlong’s Sword Realm.

Yu Ning’er followed behind Chu Xiaoyu and entered [Spear Sky Pillar Realm], training her spear to another level.

One after another, they entered a secret higher dimension and grew stronger.

— 7 Years Later —

[9.9M/1B Sword Swings]

[1B/1B Spear Thrusts]

[1B/1B Bow’s Draws]

[You have reached the pinnacle [Heavenly Dao of the Spear] and [Heavenly Dao of the Bow], evolving [Spear Soul] and [Heavenly Marksman] to [Spear Force] and [Heavenly God’s Target] Unique Skills]

[You have unlocked achievement, Passive: Heavenly Killing Stars]

Yunlong opened his eyes and saw a vast, boring desert. He and his companions have been trapped here for eight and a half years but have also become more powerful.

He watched all his maids and commented, “All of you become more beautiful.”

“Of course~.” Chu Yunxi proudly received the compliment by flaunting her body. Even though she was an adult, after eight and a half years, she became a full-fledged milf.

Bai Xue rolled her eyes and sneered, “I’m annoyed because of this place. I can’t even enjoy my time with my young master properly.”

“I should have to burn it to the ground.” She added with a sigh.

“Mmm~! I don’t mind having a very long sausage from the master!” Zhu Zhuyun yelled excitedly.

“Shut up, Pervert!” Zhu Zhuqing glared indifferently at her older sister. But the masochist cat girl only let out a low moan.

Zhu Zhuyun caressed her cheek and cried, “Zhuqing, how cruel~! Big sister is happy that our relationship returned, but your cold treatment makes me horny~.”

Yunlong facepalmed because Zhu Zhuyun reminded him of a particular cat girl from another world. She is also a black cat.

“I love to admit it, and yes, Master is So HAWT!” Yu Ning’er said while shaking her butt excitedly. Yes, she was affected by Zhu Zhuyun’s antics.

Xue Nu ignored her fellow maid’s intense banters and stared at Yunlong’s face lovingly. It has been eight and a half years, and her feelings for him have grown.

“I understand your feeling,” Kaguya commented casually. “You wanted to protect him with all your best, but knowing yourself is an inevitable weakness.”

Xue Nu returned to her usual cold demeanor and replied, “You’re the strongest out of us, Sister Kaguya.”

“How could you understand?”

“Because before him, I was the weakest.” Kaguya put a sly smile on her face. “My so-called special eyes meant nothing in front of him.”

“Is that so?” Xue Nu somewhat agreed with Kaguya.

Chu Xiaoyu stared at Yunlong quietly and asked, “Hmm, are you going to enter the Sword Realm again? It is for the last time, right?”

“Your last swing?”

Yunlong raised his Bokken a little, and his companions stopped what they were doing. “Watch this.” He said playfully.

An incredible amount of Sword Intent gathered on Yunlong’s Bokken, changing his surroundings into an echo field.

“Sword Soul, how envious…” Chu Xiaoyu smiled a little.

Yunlong swung his Bokken gently and slashed through fabric space like it was silk. The edge separated the dimension effortlessly like a hot knife through butter.

He stood there motionlessly with Bokken between his hands as his mind went through everything in the last eight years.

…

It was quiet.
