Douluo: Soul Shadow King

"Are you awake?"

When he heard a familiar voice, Cheng Xiao opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling and the pungent smell of disinfectant.

The hard bed he rested on and the pungent disinfectant constantly reminded him of where he was.

Hospital.

"..." He really felt the severe pain when his heart was crushed. Cheng Xiao looked a little dazed. He couldn't tell the difference now.

It was also because he had been waiting for a long time to wake up. After standing up, the doctor in white coat standing in front of the hospital bed looked a little impatient.

"You fell from the fifth floor. I don't know whether to praise you for your luck or your destiny." As he said, the doctor shook his head, "Now that you are awake, hurry up and leave the hospital. Your medical expenses are not enough."

After the words fell, the doctor turned and walked out of the room. Only the smell of disinfectant in the air still told Cheng Xiao that he did not seem to have traveled through time, and everything seemed like a dream.

"Probably...it's not a dream, right?" Cheng Xiao lowered his head and stroked his tingling temples with both hands, as if this was the only way to relieve some of the pain.

"If this is a world built by the power of the king, then I should be able to sense the magic." Cheng Xiao thought, closed his eyes, and tried to sense the magic through meditation.

But soon, his face turned ugly because he could no longer feel the magic power.

But he can't sense magic power, so why is his body still the same after traveling to Douluo Continent?

Cheng Xiao felt incredible. Logically speaking, he should have returned to the moment when he awakened his martial soul like Cheng Xiaoyu, but why was he back to Blue Star now?

His thoughts were a little confused, Cheng Xiao forced himself to calm down, and after a long while, he changed into clean clothes.

Because they were clothes from the past, they were too small to fit, and he didn't want to wander around in a hospital gown to avoid being thought of as mentally ill.

"Maybe I should go home and have a look." After clearing his thoughts, Cheng Xiao quickly left the hospital and headed straight for the home in his memory.

…………

Cheng Xiao wiped his eyes hard to confirm that this was still his own neighborhood, right?

Is this being demolished for the community?

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Cheng Xiao was stunned. Although this community was an old community, it wouldn't be demolished all at once, right?

"Hey, boy, it's dangerous here. Come out quickly."

Suddenly, a shout came from behind, and then Cheng Xiao saw a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth, a dark face, and a helmet in his hand walking over.

Perhaps it was because Cheng Xiao was dressed like a beggar, so the middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, but after patting him, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed.

With these strong muscles and upright posture, what kind of beggar is this?

"Ahem, little brother, what you are wearing... is quite fashionable." After coughing twice awkwardly, the middle-aged man looked Cheng Xiao up and down, held it in for a moment, and said this.

"Thank you." Seeing the helmet in the man's hand, Cheng Xiao understood the man's thoughts at a glance, thanked him politely, and left quickly.

"Ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but when he wanted to look, he found that Cheng Xiao had disappeared from sight, as if he had never been here.

The man in the middle lit the cigarette silently, slowly blew out a smoke ring, and then turned around and left.

"...I seemed to have seen a ghost just now."

…………

Cheng Xiao silently looked at the endless sea, the sound of crashing waves echoed in his ears, and he felt very calm inside.

He looked down at his feet. The waves were covering his calves, but he didn't feel the slightest bit cold.

"Aren't you coming out yet?" A calm voice came slowly from his mouth.

This was not reality, at least from the mechanical eyes of all the people he met after he woke up, Cheng Xiao knew that this was a lie.

At this moment, the dark shadow of the "King's Domain" spread rapidly from Cheng Xiao's feet.

Everything covered by the shadow disappeared without a trace.

The sky, land, sea, everything around you, until the whole world is shrouded in shadow.

In the endless darkness, if you look around, you can't see anything, but you seem to be able to see it.

From the dark depths where the fingers could not be seen, a heavy voice came.

"You don't seem to miss all this. It seems that this time, I shot myself in the foot."

Cheng Xiao looked around and saw that the endless darkness in front of him not only did not make him feel scared, but even made him feel at ease, as if he was already a part of the darkness.

"Well, you are more special than I thought."

Cheng Xiao turned around, and the next moment, someone walked out of the darkness.

The newcomer has exquisite black armor that cannot be compared with other shadow soldiers, and a powerful deterrent that cannot be compared with any existence in this world.

Facing the real Shadow King, Cheng Xiao found it difficult to speak.

he said.

"I didn't expect that something like this would happen again after returning to rest."

"I'm sorry to involve you in such an unfortunate encounter."

"If you want, I can send you back to your original world. When you return there, you will have a different life."

"No, I still have unfinished business." Cheng Xiao rejected the Shadow King's conditions. He stared at the other party's black pupils and said.

"Okay, you impressed me." The Shadow King nodded and said, "The time I spent with you was very short, but that's not the real me."

After a pause, he said: "Because of death, your power has become more complete. The way to return to that world is..."

Cheng Xiao interrupted him, "I know."

The Shadow King showed a helpless expression.

"You are just as stubborn, but this is unsystematic compensation."

"Yes." Cheng Xiao nodded gently, and then he said the long-lost words——

"Stand up."

The moment Cheng Xiao said this, the dark world began to collapse, endless darkness began to gather towards his body, and he allowed this darkness to pour into his body.

"Thank you for letting me experience a different life."

These were the last words Cheng Xiao said before disappearing, and the Shadow King smiled back after a brief daze.

…………

Other world.

"Dragon Emperor, the mission you gave us has been completed." The Beast King said with a respectful bow to the Dragon Emperor sitting on the throne.

"Dragon Emperor, next, it's time for us to start a war, right?" the Demon King said.

Slowly opening his eyes with his eyes closed, the Dragon Emperor revealed a smile full of malice, "Just do as you have arranged. Sooner or later, the karma of war will burn everything, King of Beasts, King of Monsters, King of Illusions" , the next action depends on you.”

The King of Illusion whispered: "Dragon Emperor, please allow me to go back and prepare. The large teleportation port consumes too much magic power, so I must prepare in advance."

The Dragon Emperor said: "Of course, kings of the fantasy world, it is what kings should do to be fully prepared."

"Yes." The Illusion Realm King nodded.

…………

Wuhun City, Pope's Palace.

"His Majesty the Pope, we..." Before Gui Douluo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bibi Dong who was sitting at the head of the table.

"Elder Ghost, Elder Ju, you two don't need to say anything. Nana has already told me what happened in the Star Dou Forest. Our most important thing right now is the soul hunting operation. So, you two seize the time to recover. I I have a premonition that the situation on the mainland will change dramatically in the near future.”

Bibi Dong said in a deep voice.

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope." Ghost Douluo and Ju Douluo said in unison.

"You guys go down." Pope Bibi Dong waved his hand.

Then, looking at the departing figures of Ghost Douluo and Ju Douluo, Bibi Dong stood up, holding the golden scepter, and walked back and forth in the spacious papal hall. Something flashed from time to time in her eyes.

"Qiandaoliu, you are really clever. In order to prevent me from swallowing up your angel clan, you actually asked Xiaoxue to start the divine test in advance. It seems that you also know that your strength is exhausted."

"But what if Xiaoxue starts the divine examination? I, Bibi Dong, can still destroy the foundation of your angel clan in the future."

"If your son destroyed me, then I will destroy everything in your angel clan. Even the Spirit Hall, I will destroy it without fail!"

…………

A few days later, the core area of ​​the Star Dou Forest.

Emperor Xue couldn't help but fell into silence when he looked at Cheng Xiao's body, whose heart was crushed and was not breathing, but the sound of heart beating could be heard.

Even the usually cheerful Ice Emperor was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of him.

It had been three days since his heart began to beat. With Biji's help, all the wounds on Cheng Xiao's body had healed as before, except for some old scars that could not be recovered.

"You said that his power comes from death." Listening to the increasingly strong beating of his heart, Gu Yue frowned slightly and said: "Death is equal to everyone, but since he has the ability to control death, , then this set of principles shouldn’t apply, right?”

For some, death may be the end, but for some, death may also be a new beginning.

"Then... what should we do now?" Di Tian whispered.

After fighting against creatures from other worlds, he discovered that what he thought was powerful was only based on the structure he thought he had. When he fought against those terrifying guys, he confidently believed that the Dragon God's Claws would destroy everything, but he was wrong. .

Not only were the alien creatures not afraid of his attacks, but every time he killed a group, more soldiers would rush towards him. These soldiers had no concept of life and death, and some just killed the enemies and destroyed them. The enemy's thoughts, and this is also the scary thing about creatures from other worlds.

How can an enemy without fear and only the most basic killing methods not be terrifying?

Suddenly, Gu Yue's body trembled. She seemed to sense something, and her eyes fell solemnly on the body with a strong beating heart.

The atmosphere is shaking.

The magic that filled the atmosphere was resonating sonorously and powerfully, and the earth was also acting strangely because of this terrifying magic.

In an instant, several black shadows emerged from Cheng Xiao's shadow. Nash, A Yin, and Tai Tan knelt respectfully and lowered their heads.

"Welcome my king back!"

Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, Gu Yue and other soul beasts were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

I saw a dark beam of light shooting straight into the sky from Cheng Xiao's heart. Above the sky, the magic power of the terror converged into a tornado. The blue sky lost all color at this moment, and the whole world fell into darkness.

"Heavy power of death!" Gu Yue clearly sensed this power and was shocked.

"Lord, what should we do next?" Di Tian was completely panicked. Even the gods in the God Realm don't have such power in this wave of death, right?

The next moment, Cheng Xiao, who was lying down, suddenly stood up, and a large amount of magic power gathered at the location of his heart. As the heart beat became more intense, a black heart filled the broken heart.

"King!" Nash looked at Cheng Xiao who had returned from Huangquan with joy, and his excitement was released at this moment.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Cheng Xiao glanced at the soldiers who showed their true feelings, and felt a little warm in his heart.

It wasn't until she actually faced the real Shadow King that Gu Yue suddenly realized what kind of monster this was? The aura of death exuding from his body would not be an exaggeration to call him a god. No, even the gods of the God Realm must be no match for him, right?

As the co-leader of the soul beast clan and the clone of the Dragon God, even Gu Yue could not help but tremble in front of the shadow king who controlled death. This was beyond the scope of human beings.

"Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, thank you too." Cheng Xiao turned his head and said with a chuckle.

"Hmm..." Snow Emperor Zhen nodded lightly.

"They seem to have escaped into the gap between dimensions. Can't they be sensed?" Cheng Xiao gently closed his eyes and searched for the magic wavelength of the three kings who left. Although the range instantly exceeded the mainland and enveloped the entire planet, But he still didn't sense that according to the way of the kings, he must have escaped into the dimensional gap.

"Can't you find them?" Ice Emperor asked curiously.

Because of the partnership contract, she knew what Cheng Xiao was doing, so she asked.

"Well, I can't find them." Cheng Xiao put away his senses, smiled, and said: "They will appear sooner or later. Since they don't come out, you can also take the opportunity to improve your cultivation."

"Cultivation? How to improve it?" the Ice Emperor said in confusion.

"You should feel it and you'll know." Cheng Xiao smiled.

Maintaining her curious mind, Ice Emperor calmed down and sensed it. Suddenly, a huge amount of energy spurted out of her body. She opened her eyes suddenly and instantly understood what Cheng Xiao meant.

Because the partnership contract is a complementary contract, when Cheng Xiao completely unlocked the seal of the Shadow King's power, the power of the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor were also rewarded, which means that their cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds. .

Without any hesitation, the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor began to practice in front of all the soul beasts.

At the same time, somewhere in the valley.

Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Tang Hao, who was unconscious due to serious injuries. Fortunately, he was wrapped with a bandage, which prevented the wound from worsening.

Standing up slowly, the trident mark on Tang San's forehead was unprecedentedly bright. He digested the memories in his mind, and then murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "I didn't expect that in order to recover Xiao Wu, I would I came to Douluo Continent again, and it was the time when I just traveled through time.”

"Everything I have experienced in this dimension seems to have deviated from the original time and space, but it doesn't matter. Now that I, the God King Tang San, have returned to Douluo Continent, everything will be rewritten."

Having said this, the long-gone figure appeared in his mind again. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and said painfully: "Xiao Wu... I miss you so much..." (End of Chapter)
