Chapter 3152: Ding Lingdang vs Long Yangjun
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Star Glory Federation, fighting was everything. What could be more eye-catching and morale-boosting than brilliant arena matches?
Before the information about the Flood Tide—the super body civilization—was made public, it was necessary to pave the way for all human beings to realize that, although the enemy was strong, they were not entirely defenseless. That was the main purpose of the ‘Meeting of the Future’.
The ‘Super Duel Competition’, the largest and most professional competition in the history of human civilization, was the most important part of the competition.
Sixteen special arenas were arranged in a row in the sky of the Glorious Sunlight Group. Thousands of super experts, who were at least in the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, would fight against each other for the title of ‘Ten Strongest in the Pangu Universe’ after Li Yao’s death.
Those who were qualified to participate in the summit match were naturally human-shaped beasts and walking war fortresses. With their unparalleled combat ability, they could destroy Floating Spear City easily when they were on a rampage, not to mention the headquarters of the Glorious Sunlight Group.
Therefore, the arenas were not actually floating in the sky of the city, but rather, the sixteen world fragments were connected to the space folds above Floating Spear City by force with the latest technology excavated from the primeval relics. Then, they would show the audience the real experience with the 3D and the Great Illusionary Land technology.
Other than propaganda and morale-boosting purposes, it was also a gala for the top experts of the three forces, including the survivors of the primeval era, to discuss the next step of their plan.
Although most of the top experts of the human civilization had stayed in the primeval relics over the past three years and had a lot of opportunities to get close to each other, the interior of the tower after it was unlocked and upgraded was shockingly spacious. In fact, it was not a simple tower but a transfer station to countless planets hidden in the ‘black wall’. As long as one found a suitable route, they would be directly teleported to a certain planet.
Some of the planets had abundant spiritual gas, some were extremely dangerous, and some were full of unexpected traps, ferocious beasts, and secret treasures. It was impossible to explore every planet clearly even if there were hundreds of times more people, let alone thousands of experts.
Together with the remains and secret treasures left by a hundred civilizations of pioneers, any one of them contained endless mysteries that no Cultivators or researchers would ever be able to figure out.
It was safe to say that, for the past three years, every top expert and researcher who had explored the ancient relics had been locked in a state of ‘seclusion’ in which they had no time to waste. They had their own opportunities and adventures and were too busy training to bother other people.
It was not until today’s Future Meeting, or rather, the “Super Duel Competition”, that they began to examine the results of their three years of training and research.
The outcome of the match would determine the allocation of training resources and exploration missions as well as the changes among the major forces, including the conditions for renewal of the peace treaty.
It couldn’t be helped. Although the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation, and the Star Glory Federation were united against a common enemy, it was impossible for them to be truly close to each other. There was cooperation and competition among them. In the end, the stronger one’s fists were, the more influential one would be. It might be the bad habit of human beings, but it was also the unique charm of the human civilization.
In the first arena, in a seemingly ordinary desert world, Ding Lingdang was floating in midair calmly and gazing at her opponent.
Her opponent, Long Yangjun, on the other hand, was grimacing in pain, as if he were about to surrender with a stomachache.
The name list of the matches in the super combat arenas was random. Nobody had expected that Ding Lingdang and Long Yangjun, the two hot favorites of the ‘top ten experts of the Pangu Universe’, would ‘coincidentally’ meet each other in the first round. But Long Yangjun had always felt that there might be some sort of scheme behind the scenes.
“Mr. Speaker has changed his hair!”
While rubbing his stomach, Long Yangjun laughed at Ding Lingdang. “I’m told that you’ve been training crazily in the Heaven’s Origin Sector. Not only have you learned all the knowledge of the ‘Inferno Civilization’, which is best known for its valiance among the pioneers, but you’ve also spent an entire year on a planet that is very close to the star and is mostly magma. You’ve grasped the meaning of ‘True Meaning of Body fundamentalists’, which is to dismantle starships, Giant Soldiers, star fortresses, military bases, and everything else without using any magical equipment. Wow. That’s awesome. Well, I admit defeat, okay? I don’t belong to any organization in the first place. I’m not interested in the distribution of benefits between the federation, the imperium, or the Sanctuary Alliance at all. I’m just here to fill up my head. I didn’t expect that you would be picked in the first round!”
“Alright. I accept your surrender.”
Ding Lingdang nodded her head and said to Long Yangjun, who was overjoyed, “However, in the culture of war in the ‘Raging Fire Civilization’, even enemies who have surrendered must be blown up brutally. It is the greatest respect and affirmation for those who have surrendered.
“Are you serious?”
Long Yangjun’s smile was completely plastered on his face. He was dumbfounded. “I don’t know how I offended the Speaker of Parliament. Why did he have to torture me, ravage me, and torture me? I feel so wronged!”
“Is that so?”
Ding Lingdang said casually, “Maybe you are innocent about other things, but I’m told that you’ve been very close to the surviving primeval people over the past two years. You’ve been able to cooperate with the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan and carry out your own research projects in secret. In fact, you’ve collected and analyzed half of the eight books in the legends. Where are the other four?”
“What? There is such a thing?”
Long Yangjun’s eyes were wide open, with an innocent look on his face. “I don’t know anything about the Divine Investiture Book. Isn’t it the smoke bomb that the Supreme Emperor released years ago? There is indeed such a thing. Oh, such shocking news. If I had known, I would’ve reported it to the ‘Unified Development Committee of the Ancient Ruins’.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Ding Lingdang slightly smiled, “Whether or not you have cultivated the Divine Seal Book, I will know after I give it a try!”
Hardly had he finished his sentence when something unbelievable happened.
Ding Lingdang’s beautiful short hair suddenly expanded like a big explosion and reached her shoulders. Her waist and her heels did not stop growing. A volcano seemed to be spurting out of the top of her head.
At the same time, countless interconnecting threads of light appeared on her skin, which was shining in the color of honey. The threads of light bounced off her body as if they were alive and darted toward the ground below her feet. In the blink of an eye, they cut open the hard ground and carved out dozens of rocks more than seventy square meters.
Along with the terrifying dance of the flames of war, dozens of giant rocks wobbled and floated in the air before they were absorbed by Ding Lingdang’s scorching aura. In the blink of an eye, they melted and turned into crimson magma, which revolved rapidly between Ding Lingdang’s arms. In the blink of an eye, they turned into raging red dragons which ruthlessly punched out along with her devastating heavy fists.
BOOM!
Thousands of crimson dragons covered the sky and the earth. The torrents of magma swallowed Long Yangjun immediately.
“An insatiable woman is truly terrifying!”
Long Yangjun’s scream echoed inside the magma. Then, a crystal human figure jumped out of the magma.
Although she was screaming, there was still an indifferent smile on her face. Not only had she turned into a crystal, the magma that Ding Lingdang threw at her was also absorbed by her and turned into sharp, diamond-shaped crystals that surrounded her life magnetic field like satellites and rings.
“Is this the power of the Divine Book of Deification? It is said that the Supreme Emperor created the road of miracles and glory precisely because of such power. Although the legends and the truth are certainly different, the existence of the Divine Book of Deification is undeniable. It is unfortunate that I was not born in the era of the Supreme Emperor and had a duel with him. But I am very lucky to have met you. Let’s fight for three days and three nights and let out all the pain and depression of the past three years!”
Ding Lingdang let out a roar that made even the Tyrant Dragon shiver.
The flames on his back continued raging and turned into the image of eight hundred deities in the burning sky. The temperature of the entire world fragment rose by dozens of degrees.
Eight hundred deities fell from the sky like a meteor shower out of thin air. Earthshaking explosions were echoing below their feet. The desert and the desert had both turned into boiling magma. Surging tides thousands of degrees high were rising inside the magma, too. They were obeying Ding Lingdang’s commands like the most loyal warriors.
“Are you kidding me? Mr. Speaker, do you know that we are playing a ‘friendly match’ or even an ‘exhibition match’ today to boost the morale of all mankind? I—I am also from the Star Glory Federation. I will immediately announce my return to the federation camp, alright? Besides, I don’t have any ‘pain or depression’. Over the past three years, I have been living a carefree and happy life like a god. I can’t be happier!
“Don’t look at me like that. Of course, I’m not really heartless. It’s just that, well, actually, I have a vague premonition that Li Yao is not dead yet. Really, as the saying goes, good people don’t live long… Heroes live for thousands of years. How could a true hero and a good man like Li Yao die so easily, right? Anyway, no one saw his body. Okay, his cell fragments have indeed been discovered, but at least there is no evidence that his soul has been obliterated. We have to be confident in his vitality. Even cockroaches can exist for hundreds of millions of years. Why can’t ‘Vulture Li Yao’ do the same, right?”
“Anyways, just don’t come any closer. If you come any closer, I’m really going to shout for help. Judge, where’s the judge? I want to surrender. I want to surrender. How am I going to get out of this crappy arena? Help! Help!”
Long Yangjun screamed and fled.
