Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Chu Qin's eyebrows furrowed slightly as his own incomparable looks, undefeated across the universe, met someone so similar to himself for the first time.

Next, Chu Qin's gaze fell upon the second painting, which was laid out horizontally and exceedingly long.

The painting seemed to depict a war. In the Cosmic Void, myriad creatures were fighting and slaughtering each other.

At that moment, Chu Qin's Divine Sense seemed to be sucked into the painting.

He could see a battle raging, one that would destroy the heavens and the earth; countless stars collapsing, myriad powerhouses perishing!

Creatures were wailing, and space-time was reconstituting!

And in the very center, two giant dragons were locked in combat.

These dragons were so immense they seemed to stretch endlessly, as if the universe itself could not contain them. Every collision was a clash of countless Dao!

It was as if two galaxies were crashing into each other with astounding force!

He had seen them both before, one was none other than the Azure Dragon, and the other, the giant dragon illusion summoned by Tao Wu not long ago.

Chu Qin speculated that it must undoubtedly be the Azure Dragon and the so-called Taiyin True Dragon engaging in fierce battle.

Their fight was intensely fierce; no one dared to approach, and even Chu Qin felt a tremor in his soul.

At that moment, Chu Qin subconsciously released Divine Power to calm himself down.

And then, Chu Qin felt an unprecedented enlightenment.

It was an enlightenment that came from his bloodline, or in other words, an understanding of the Azure Dragon Power.

"So it turns out, observing the Azure Dragon in combat can also stimulate the Qinglong Bloodline and Azure Dragon Power within me!"

Upon this realization, Chu Qin immediately closed his eyes to fathom this insight.

Within a Shi Chen, Chu Qin was able to decipher the Xuanyuan First Emperor's eight hundred billion character Xuantian Emperor Array; naturally, his comprehension ability was unprecedented.

He quickly grasped this insight.

He believed that through this understanding, his power would rise to a new level.

Of course, he was merely an avatar at the moment; only by returning to his true body would the effects be truly realized.

At the same time, an unexpected scene appeared before him.

He sensed that his enlightenment wasn't solely about the Azure Dragon.

Even from the Taiyin True Dragon, he gained a different insight!

This insight seemed to grant him a deeper understanding of the Six Heavenly Demon Styles.

"Could it be because the Taiyin True Dragon is also evil, resonating with the Six Heavenly Demon Styles, or is it that the Six Heavenly Demon Styles have a connection with the Taiyin True Dragon?" Chu Qin wondered with some confusion.

Ultimately, Chu Qin's Divine Sense walked out of the painting.

"This is the strongest collision between the Outer Universe and the Inner Universe in history," the voice of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor sounded beside Chu Qin's ear.

Chu Qin turned around to see the Wuji Heavenly Emperor had woken up, leaning against the wall, half-reclining.

"You're awake," Chu Qin said to the Wuji Heavenly Emperor with a smile.

"Back then, when the Azure Dragon and the Taiyin True Dragon truly started fighting, the Tianmen was almost destroyed!" the Wuji Heavenly Emperor continued, looking at the painting.

"Who won?" Chu Qin asked promptly.

"No one could win," replied the Wuji Heavenly Emperor. "Perhaps the Azure Dragon had a slight edge, but no one dared to use their full strength. To do so would mean the end of both the Inner Universe and the Outer Universe!"

"Hmm," Chu Qin nodded in understanding.

Just like before, he was able to defeat Tao Wu and Bi Fang, but he dared not continue the fight.

"That's the most troublesome part. Even at the strongest, you can't wield your ultimate power," the Wuji Heavenly Emperor continued, "both the Azure Dragon and the Taiyin True Dragon are extreme powerhouses; neither can possibly kill the other. And in the future, no one will be able to kill the Taiyin True Dragon, so the Tianmen must always be defended."

"Then is it impossible to coexist peacefully?" Chu Qin asked. "After all, fighting back and forth, no one can determine a victor."

The Wuji Heavenly Emperor shook his head, "The Azure Dragon has proposed peace more than once, but every time, it was rejected by the Taiyin True Dragon. Because the Taiyin True Dragon lives for slaughter; killing is her very way of life!"

"So there's no way to completely settle things with the Taiyin True Dragon?" Chu Qin continued.

"No!" the Wuji Heavenly Emperor shook his head. "Unless one wields the strongest force to kill the Taiyin True Dragon, at the cost of the complete collapse of the universe, the extinction of all life."

"Impossible, there's no such thing as absolutes in this world. There must be a way to fully resolve it," Chu Qin said.

"Perhaps, but we've yet to find one, so it may be left to you, Chu Qin," Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a Yanran smile.

"I might not even go to Tianmen," Chu Qin replied with a smile.

"You'll definitely go," Wuji Heavenly Emperor answered, "because you are the Descendant of the Azure Dragon, and that is your destiny."

"My fate is mine to command, not heaven's!" Chu Qin said with a nonchalant smile.

Hearing this, the expression of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor suddenly changed.

"What's the matter now?" Chu Qin asked, puzzled.

"That painting is of my brother, the Immortal Emperor," Wuji Heavenly Emperor said, pointing to the first painting. "He bears some resemblance to you, and moreover, he once said the very same words you just did!"

"Are you so in tune with me because I resemble your brother?" Chu Qin inquired.

"Not entirely," Wuji Heavenly Emperor replied. "Don't forget, you're the only person I can talk to."

"That's true," Chu Qin conceded with a smile and a nod.

"Are you hungry?" Chu Qin asked.

"Hungry?" Wuji Heavenly Emperor raised a Dai Mei. "I can't even remember the last time I ate. How could I be hungry?"

"If you're not hungry, then I am."

Chu Qin smiled faintly and took out a pancake to start eating.

"It smells so good!" Wuji Heavenly Emperor's eyes narrowed in delight.

"Would you like to eat?" Chu Qin asked with a smile. "This was made by my disciple."

"Give me one," Wuji Heavenly Emperor replied with a nod.

"Mmm, delicious!" Wuji Heavenly Emperor exclaimed with eyes wide open after taking a bite.

"Tasty, isn't it?" Chu Qin said with a chuckle. "I'm a food lover, but there are probably only a few things in the universe that can match this pancake, like the Baihua Chicken."

"This pancake reminds me of the outside world," said Wuji Heavenly Emperor.

"Ah?" Chu Qin was slightly startled.

"I have been here for an endless number of years," Wuji Heavenly Emperor replied. "But your wine and pancake have evoked my longing for the outside world."

"Chu Qin!" At that moment, Wuji Heavenly Emperor got off the bed and said earnestly, "Come challenge me!"

"Ah?" Chu Qin, startled, smirked slightly in confusion.

"I've thought it through. The endless ages have passed, and my brother will no longer come back. As long as you defeat me, I can be freed and go out into the world," Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a Yanran smile.

"I also wish to free myself, but I can't joke with my own life," Chu Qin said lightly, still smiling.

"I'll allow you to challenge me twice!" Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a smile. "So come on, challenge me once. Even if you lose, you won't die."

"Are you sure?" asked Chu Qin. "Is this within the rules? Let's not accidentally break any rules preventing my advancement as the Ancestral Emperor."

"It won't happen. The Azure Dragon has granted me a special privilege," Wuji Heavenly Emperor said with a smile. "As long as I don't deliberately throw the match, it shouldn't be considered breaking the rules."

"Alright then, when do we start?" Chu Qin said with a chuckle. He was eager to advance to Ancestral Emperor, to surpass the Tower of Undying, and, sooner rather than later, to take Wuji Heavenly Emperor into his embrace.

Since Wuji Heavenly Emperor had granted him a special privilege, he had no qualms.

And as Chu Qin's words ended, everything around vanished, replaced by the absolute Void.

"We begin immediately!" As soon as Wuji Heavenly Emperor spoke, an infinite Black radiance burst forth from her body. In that moment, she grew a billion times larger, becoming as vast as a galaxy.

A pair of black wings emerged from her back, and her pupils turned pitch black.

Her voice, too, became terrifying and chilling.

At that moment, Wuji Heavenly Emperor appeared like a different person compared to before!

When Wuji Heavenly Emperor unleashed her power, Chu Qin felt an unprecedented sense of pressure.

The strongest being Chu Qin had ever encountered, of course, was the Azure Dragon, but the Azure Dragon bore no malice towards him.

But the Wuji Heavenly Emperor before him was full of hostility and even murderous intent.
