Boom!!
A powerful wave of sound erupted from the mouth of the purple-golden Dragon Emperor's dragon shadow, releasing an energy of destruction. The dark god's radiance collided with it, both energies corroding each other. The two were formed by different energies, and this battle of powers was a test of which side's soul power would give out first.
The ground seemed to be ripped apart, and all the snow melted into vapor, slowly drifting into the air due to the residual warmth of the energy. Even with Gu You's Ice and Snow domain, it could not hold it.
The situation was at a standstill. Four domains, along with the baby bottle, continuously provided Gu You with various additional energy boosts.
Yuezi knew she couldn't drag this out any longer. She clasped her hands together, and the Evil God Blade flickered in front of her, as if accumulating power. In an instant, Yuezi gripped the divine weapon in front of her, raising her hands high, the evil aura surging, and blood began to seep from her distorted face.
Slash!
Yuezi swung the Evil God Blade wildly, and thousands of evil aura swords fell from the sky like an endless swarm of ants, making it impossible to dodge.
Titan's Protection!
Snow Demon Immortal Body!
The two physical skills of the Titan Snow Demon King were activated, providing a solid, impenetrable defense.
A shadow of the Titan Snow Demon formed, surrounding Gu You with its body and arms, while golden light radiated from it, resembling an indestructible Vajra.
The sword energy flashed and the earth seemed to fall silent.
"I…" The Titan Snow Demon's phantom roared and dissipated. Gu You completely lost his defense.
"Will you still be defeated?" The black sword energy pierced into his bones, and his battle armor emitted a mournful metallic cry.
Until it completely shattered…
"You should never have existed." Yuezi extended a hand toward her mouth, and the circular black hole behind her began to expand in a blazing inferno. All energy and matter were being consumed, even her own divine light.
Gu You's body was also drawn upward, slowly moving toward the "abyss."
Gu You struggled, his eyes squinting. No matter how many sword wounds he had, he felt nothing. Everything before him was a blank void.
"I still have breath left. I'm not dead… not dead… I don't want to die!" For the first time, Gu You had such a strong vision—he did not want to die!
His blood and soul rings suddenly rose, not just one, but two whole blood and soul rings.
Near the black hole, where there was no sensation, everything was about to be disintegrated. However, this was also the closest he had ever been to Yuezi.
Mother-son dual rings—Sealing Needle!
Gu You moved suddenly. The gravitational pull of the black hole disappeared at that moment, and his second blood-soul ring lit up.
Dragon Emperor's Forbidden Technique—Star-Captive Realm!!
Yuezi didn't react in time. Three fine needles pierced into her body at different points, a special stinging pain making her feel irritable. But in that brief moment of distraction, Yuezi realized that her control over the black hole had completely disappeared.
"How is this possible?" Yuezi's face turned pale.
She turned back to look at Gu You and found that the originally vast black hole was now held in his hands without any problems.
To think that even controlling a black hole formed by such energy was impossible. Even someone as strong as Yuezi would sometimes be sucked in and forced to break out using divine power.
But Gu You had truly compressed it and taken control of it.
Purple-Golden Destruction Strike!
The purple dragon's head swiftly enveloped Yuezi. Gu You stowed his shattered battle armor into his Soul Guidance Ring. His left hand began to glow green, using the Purple-Golden Destruction Strike as cover. He teleported right in front of Yuezi and pushed forcefully, piercing through her chest and straight into her heart.
Ah!
The pain was inhuman. Her heart, her heart! Yuezi's entire body erupted with energy.
Evil God Divine Armor!
Gu You didn't release his grip, even when he heard the words "divine armor." He was draining Yuezi's life force. No matter if she was a god, without the divine realm, life force would always have a limit and couldn't be eternal.
Godly fragments began to assemble, covering Yuezi's body. With a wave of energy, Gu You was thrown back.
Ah!!
But what followed was a more intense scream. Gu You crashed to the ground, his left dragon claw holding a beating heart.
Without mercy, Gu You immediately crushed it.
At the same time, the black hole that had been trapped was thrown back toward Yuezi. His second blood-soul ring flashed, releasing the binding power.
His second blood-soul ring could restrain heaven and earth, gods, and the universe. Although it couldn't imprison someone much stronger, it could bind those within two realms of difference. But for weapons or energy, it was completely unrestricted.
Yuezi's hair fell loose, and even with the divine armor, she was far from her peak strength.
"My heart, my heart…" Yuezi murmured, and all that remained of her left chest was a round blood hole.
But before she could think further, a terrifying devouring aura covered her. Yuezi looked up, attempting to regain control of the black hole, but she realized it was futile.
"No!" Yuezi tried to escape, but she couldn't break free from the black hole's pull.
"Return the souls of my teachers, and I'll grant you a quick death." Gu You wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and coldly gazed at Yuezi.
"Impossible! You will never…" Even as she was sucked in, she still defied him.
Was it truly over?
All domain anomalies stopped, leaving only the black hole in the sky, continuously devouring everything around it. Gu You tried to stop the black hole from expanding, but to his horror, he realized he couldn't stop it. Even his second blood-soul ring couldn't prevent it.
As the black hole continued to expand, Gu You froze. He couldn't save anything; he had only caused more harm. If he didn't find a way to stop the expansion, the entire Douluo plane would be consumed!
"How ruthless!" Gu You cursed.
He hadn't expected such an outcome. "I'll go all in."
Gu You entered his dragon transformation state, his size growing exponentially. He was now a hundred-meter giant dragon, no longer the small dragon from when he fought Long Yuan.
All domains were released, and his soul power surged. All his divine power concentrated on the second blood-soul ring.
With extreme attributes attached, Gu You's mouth gathered light. In a flash of purple light, the black hole began to shrink once more. He was able to control it.
Returning to human form, Gu You picked up the trapped black hole, injected divine power into it, and with a shake, the Evil God Blade was expelled from the black hole.
It really worked, Gu You grinned. The black hole had absorbed enough energy, it had turned into a white hole, expelling what had been sucked in. He had just tried it out, but it actually worked. Gu You could sense that, with further control, this would become an infinite storage.
Picking up the Evil God Blade, Gu You solemnly asked, "Yuezi, are you really dead? I know you have consciousness. What did you do with the souls you captured…?"
