Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

— Chapter 309 —

[Ice God’s Last Will]

[Objective: Prove your Allegiance to Ice God]

[Reward: Unknown???, Ice God’s Palace Map]

[Punishment: One of the Host’s Martial Souls would get sealed for an indefinite amount of time]

Yunlong’s expression strained for a moment. He didn’t expect a random quest to appear when inspecting Bing Chun’s memory.

There is no Y/N button on the system notification, which means this emergency quest throughly was forced upon him.

He scanned the area with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and mumbled, “I see.”

The young Bing Chun was confused when hearing the old voice’s words. “What are you-.” He unsheathed his sword and watched a young man appear out of thin air.

He’s no more than 18 or 19 by his looks, standing over 6.4 feet with piercing crimson eyes and long silver hair.

Bing Chun has to admit that this guy is quite handsome.

“Who are you?” Bing Chun asked while grasping his sword tightly.

Yunlong raised his hand lazily and answered, “I’m not your enemy.”

“We are at different times.”

The giant statue exploded into pieces and revealed an azure flame floating in the air. It was transforming into an odd shape like a mutated human.

“Ice God, huh,” Yunlong commented while looking at the mutated human made of azure flame.

The mutated human released a cold “Hmph.” and glanced at Yunlong with a deathly stare.

“How dare you, a mortal human, call my noble title with such casualty?” Ice God released an ice palm, but Yunlong didn’t even blink or dodge.

Yunlong used [Mortal Sin: Gluttony] and absorbed the ice palm’s energy completely, leaving only a cold puff of mist.

Ice God’s eyes widened in awe because this mortal somehow could absorb Ice Palm’s energy, which should be impossible because his mortal body shouldn’t be able to resist Absolute Ice.

“You…”

“Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s blessing resided within your blood.”

“Mortal, where did you find their corpses!”

“Heaven Dou Empire, Sunset Forest.” Yunlong sighed because Ice God’s sense was somewhat weak now.

Even though Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s essence clearly was detected, Ice God somehow couldn’t sense that he was Sea God and Asura God’s inheritor.

“Ice God, I’m not your enemy.” Yunlong released his incomplete divinity. His silver hair gained a bluish hue for a moment.

“Sea God!” Ice God’s voice boomed loudly.

“You’re Sea God’s Inheritor!”

“Tell me earlier, GOD DAMN IT!!”

Yunlong nodded and wanted to continue talking, but the frozen palace became vast grassland suddenly. He frowned and glanced at Ice God.

“Spiritual God’s Tongue, Ninety Nine Days Curse.” Ice God chanted indifferently, and golden characters floated around the sky.

[Warning!]

[Prepare yourself for an impact, Host!]

Yunlong prepared his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and felt a tight grip in his heart.

“Argh…” He gritted his teeth quietly.

“Mortal, follow my words…” Ice God stood menacingly in front of Yunlong. His flame-like body radiated with an ancient aura.

“Once my heart fell into Void…”

“One shall awaken from the darkness.”

[Spiritual God’s Tongue has transferred to your mind]

[Acquisition Level: 0.1%]

[Ice God had marked your spiritual sea with Ancient Language]

“No, I refuse…” Yunlong responded with an irritated tone.

Ice God’s mouth twitched in annoyance and grabbed Yunlong’s entire face. “Follow my WORDS!”

“Once my heart fell into Void…”

“One shall awaken from the darkness.”

“I, who am about to awaken,”

“Am the Heavenly Ruler who has stolen the principles of supremacy from this very own Universe.”

“I laugh at “everything.” and I suffer at the “nothingness.” of this pathetic world.”

“I shall become the Heavenly Ruler of All Heavens.”

“And devour everything to the depths of the Endless Abyss.”

Yunlong’s eyes shone with a dim golden light.

His mouth opened and said, “Once my heart fell into Void…”

“One shall awaken from the darkness.”

“I, who am about to awaken,”

“Am the Heavenly Ruler who has stolen the principles of supremacy from this very own Universe.”

“I laugh at “everything.” and I suffer at the “nothingness.” of this pathetic world.”

“I shall become the Heavenly Ruler of All Heavens.”

“And devour everything to the depths of the Endless Abyss.”

“Heavenly Ruler’s Supremacy….”

.

.

At the Spiritual Ice Stone’s realm, Bing Chun stared at Yunlong with a confused expression.

“Hmm?” He felt a snap inside his spiritual sea and watched Yunlong release his hand off him.

There was a weird aura lingering around Yunlong, wrapping him like an invisible coat of armor.

His Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan rotated gradually, turning into Golden Eyes with a concentric circle covering the eyeballs.

Like sleep-walking, Yunlong grasped Bing Chun’s spiritual body and chanted, “Rinne Tensei.”

BOOM!

The Spiritual Ice Stone in front of Chu Xiaoyu exploded into dust, and Bing Chun stood with a living body full of vitality.

“T-This…” Bing Chun’s whole body trembled in fear.

“G-Grandpa, is that you?” Chu Xiaoyu’s eyes slowly widened in shock. She immediately hugged Bing Chun and hoped this was real.

Meanwhile, Yunlong was in a dream-like state and floated in an unknown realm.

“Mortal, I also sensed the unknown Primordial Dragon’s Bloodline within your body…” Ice God commented worriedly.

“It’s stronger than Dragon God’s bloodline.”

“I’ve granted my Spiritual God’s Tongue for your future endeavors but sadly couldn’t say the same for Primordial Runes as I lost it in Divine War.”

“Remember the chants…”

“Those words shall awaken your true self.”

Ice God released a sigh and continued, “Also, help my worrying inheritors.”

“The second Divine War is close.”

Yunlong’s eyes returned to normal. He woke up from the weird slumber and watched the quest notification.

[Ice God’s Last Will Completed]

[Objective: Prove your Allegiance to Ice God]

[Reward: Unknown???, Ice God’s Palace Map]

He fell onto the snowy ground and weirdly looked at the system panel. “What the fuck was that…” He whispered to himself.

[Reward: Ice God’s Palace Map and Sea God’s Journal 2nd part]

“…” Yunlong deadpanned at the second reward.

“Are you kidding me?!”

.

.

In a broken hut, a few hundred meters away from the ice flowers field.

Bing Chun was confronting Yunlong and Chu Xiaoyu near a searing fireplace, which heated a hotpot.

A sound of boiling water rang in the room.

“So you revived me from death…” Bing Chun stated while staring at Yunlong.

“Yes, I guess?” Yunlong responded cluelessly and enjoyed the warm hotpot. “I can’t remember anything about that process, though.”

“I was dreaming at that time.”

Bing Chun frowned and gave Yunlong a weird gaze.

Even though this boy told him about meeting Ice God from his memory, he couldn’t help but doubt it.

However, Bing Chun is living proof of this event. He can’t doubt it because he is alive now. It’s like contradicting his existence right now.

“As for the Ice God, I was instructed to help Xiaoyu.” Yunlong continued while drinking the broth.

Chu Xiaoyu stared at them with a confused expression because she didn’t know about Yunlong’s meeting with her grandpa.

“Grandpa, are you angry?” She asked naturally.

Bing Chun cleared his throat and replied, “No, of course not.”

“How can I be mad with my current situation?”

Drrt!

Yunlong felt a vibration from his pocket and noticed a call from Kyudai Garaki. “What is it?” He answered the call.

“Master, we are on the Extreme North right now,” Kyudai responded excitedly.

“Guess what we found?”

“What? A rare metal mine.” Yunlong smirked because he knew about the Sun and Moon Continent’s dirty trick on the extreme north.

He doesn’t bother with it because the Ice Emperor can settle the problem. With the harsh weather of Extreme North, there are only a few chances for the Sun and Moon Continent to fight back.

“Eh, how did you know?” Kyudai Garaki grasped his phone in surprise. He was sure Madara hadn’t told Yunlong about it because that guy wanted to deliver the news personally.

Yunlong chuckled because he would not tell Kyudai about future Douluo Dalu and changed the topic instead.

“So, any good news from your side?”

“A-Ah, yes.” Kyudai Garaki send some data to Yunlong’s phone.

“We have found more than 100 hundred types of rare metal.”

“These metals are native to this world with a unique property. I must say that I’ve never discovered something like this before.”

Someone snatched Kyudai Garaki’s phone and said, “Yes, He’s correct.”

“This silver-plated meteor can easily surpass the Tungsten of our world. If I can construct an alloy with these metals, creating a strong weapon beyond Title Douluo’s standard is not impossible.”

“I also wanted to create another division in Bright Spirit Lab.”

“Calm down, Uncle David,” Yunlong said while changing their call to a video call.

David Shield fixed his glasses in the harsh weather, shivering in cold and excitement. With these metals, he could create a god-killing weapon like the Sun and Moon Continent.

The principle of this world is easy to tackle when you have a bright mind, a fascination for weapons, and a fundamental understanding of Spirit Energy.

“Give me your location, and I’ll send my clone there.” Yunlong created a shadow clone.

.

.

Extreme North’s West.

David Shield threw the phone back to Kyudai Garaki and said, “Yunlong will be here in a few seconds.”

Kyudai Garaki sneered and looked at Sieg, who brandished his greatsword with snow.

“Sieg, I want you to show off your power later.”

“Yes.” The young homunculus responded with a nod.

Re-Destro leaned on a tree and looked at the fiery young man near him. “Hey, you’re one of Madara-san’s squad members, right?” He asked with a smile.

Ma Hongjun frowned and replied, “Yeah.”

Flender appeared from the sky and landed around them. He stared at Ma Hongjun, who was heating the area with his Phoenix Flame.

“The area is clear, but I can see some heavy machinery 3km away from here,” Flender reported to David.

After being spared by the Bright Spirit Empire with Liu Erlong’s help months ago, Flender was able to enter Madara’s Crimson Dawn Squad.

He proved his loyalty by marking himself with a slave mark. It’s a hard choice, but better than to die in a prison cell without being able to see Ma Xiaotao and Ma Hongjun grow up.

Remembering his promise to the Phoenix twins’ parents, Flender at least wanted to see Ma Xiaotao in her wedding gown.

“Shit.” An avalanche floated above their heads.

A man clad in a thick, light-blue parka that reached below his knees landed beside Flender.

Flender stepped aside to dodge and felt snow smashed onto his face. A corner of his mouth twitched.

“Be careful, can you?” He wiped the snow down and stared at his teammate.

“Geten, we are on a mission,” Re-Destro commented from his tree.

“I know, I know.” Geten laughed. He has Ice Manipulation Quirk, and the Extreme North terrain around him is just like a paradise for him.

“I can’t help myself, you know.”

There is no way he wouldn’t be excited here.

Sieg’s body shuddered with a bad feeling. He looked up and saw a black dot moving toward them.

“What’s that?” He pointed his finger at the snowy sky.

“An aircraft, and it’s not ours.” Kyudai Garaki’s expression became solemn.

“Oh, they dropped something?”

“It’s a bomb, not something.” David Shield scowled while picking an item from his spatial ring.

A normal-looking RPG.

He mounted the RPG and transferred his spirit energy into the weapon.

“I can test my RPG.” He aimed and pulled the trigger.

Swoosh!

Everyone can see David’s RPG was flying to the bomb and made direct contact.

BOOM!

A crimson red tornado swallowed the incoming bomb.

“Take that Buddha’s Fury RPG!” David grinned wildly.

Yunlong appeared in the sky and smiled when seeing this scenery.

“I’ve created another lunatic.” He said with a wry smile.
