Let him wield it.
At that very moment, all of Gu You's accumulated strength erupted.
He had broken through—he had finally stepped into the realm of a Titled Douluo!
Nine soul rings slowly rose beneath his feet, and a terrifying aura surged outward like a tidal wave.
Even though he only had the support of two-word battle armor, his overall strength had already touched the level of a true god.
'It's him?'
Down in the snowy expanse, a familiar figure was rushing toward the Blood God Battalion—climbing with all his strength.
It was Sima Jinchi.
During his ascent, Sima Jinchi could already sense the tremendous energy waves emanating from the direction of the Blood God Battalion.
He was shocked. The mountain range itself trembled. What on earth had happened in the Blood God Battalion?
Then, he saw something that struck him to the core—plants. One after another, green plants broke through the snow, sprouting all around him.
His heart trembled with unprecedented astonishment.
'What kind of energy is this? How could a mountain that was blanketed in snow suddenly be overtaken by life and greenery?'
Without hesitation, Sima Jinchi summoned his battle armor and soared into the air, ignoring the Blood God rules that had been listed in the recommendation letter. Now was not the time for restraint.
As he reached the summit, what he saw left him breathless.
Far in the distance, nine-colored light halos were converging in a single direction. Boundless green light flowed like rivers of life across the entire mountain range, all converging toward one focal point.
He flew with all his might toward that source.
And then he saw it.
Floating within the nine-colored dome of light was a man—tall, radiant, invincible.
The purple armor wrapped around his body... it was all too familiar.
That was the man he had come to find.
'Is the sky collapsing?'
BOOM—!
Sima Jinchi watched as Gu You raised his right arm slowly, like a drawn bow, the golden dragon spear pointed straight toward the depths of the Abyss.
And then he descended.
The heavens themselves seemed to tremble, weighed down by a terrifying pressure.
Sima Jinchi couldn't believe it. This force—this oppressive, mountain-crushing force—was coming from one man.
And that man… was Gu You.
'How is this possible? How could he have become so powerful? This... this is what a god must feel like!'
It was too much to process. The reality before him felt like a dream, one on the brink of shattering.
"You struggle like a caged beast. How arrogant—just because you've touched upon divine power, you think yourself invincible?"
The deep, cold voice echoed through the mountains, even breaching the protection of the Blood God Array and reaching as far as the Blazing Fire Basin.
The sky twisted and warped. Clouds scattered. What remained was a distorted blue sky, unnervingly pure yet twisted by unseen power.
Breathing became difficult. It felt as though the world itself was beginning to reject them, unraveling before their eyes.
The green plants that had flourished moments ago began to wither into dust, disintegrating into streams of green light—all of it drawn toward that same terrible source.
BOOM!
Gu You's body ignited in blinding flames.
To face a First-Class God, even with the support of the plane, he had to go all out.
This was no ordinary opponent. The being before him was the Sacred Monarch of the Abyss. Even if he had yet to regain his full strength, Gu You had to face him as an equal.
To do that, he had no choice but to ignite the Fire of Life and invoke the power of the Purple-Gold Dragon Emperor.
The golden dragon spear sensed his decision.
Gu You's blood surged violently. Scales began to spread across his face, and his pupils morphed into vertical slits.
His entire aura transformed.
The golden dragon spear let out a deafening roar—a true dragon's cry.
The twisted sky rippled… and then, to everyone's shock, began to settle.
Gu You had done the unthinkable—he had actually managed to suppress the Sacred Monarch's presence, even if only for a moment.
"Hmm?" the Sacred Monarch let out a curious sound.
And then—BOOM!
The seal at the heart of the Abyssal rift shattered completely. From within, a massive, alabaster-white hand emerged.
It was like a sculpted jade sculpture—a hand with seven fingers, unmarked by veins or scales, glowing with a pristine, holy light.
The moment it appeared, the seals etched into the stone disintegrated into dust. Even the Blood God Array shuddered violently.
Gu You roared.
With no hesitation, he poured every ounce of energy within him—his soul power, his bloodline, the energy of the Douluo Plane, the strength from the Tree of Life, and the power borrowed from his allies—he threw it all into the golden dragon spear.
Three dazzling rings emerged behind him, purple and gleaming, revolving at high speed.
The golden dragon spear seemed to come alive. It transformed into a hundred-meter-long golden dragon, diving straight toward the colossal white hand.
Wherever the golden dragon passed, the lines of light from the Blood God Array burst into brilliance. Hope seemed to return for just one brief moment.
All of the Blood God Battalion's soldiers, all nine of the Blood Gods, every single one poured their energy into the array, giving it everything they had.
There was no explosion.
There was no sound.
Silence.
Every soul stared, frozen in disbelief.
The seven-fingered hand had caught the golden dragon spear with casual ease, as though it were grabbing a writhing snake.
The weapon that had held all their hopes—the golden dragon spear—had been stilled, rendered powerless.
Its mighty internal energies were completely sealed.
The light in the soldiers' eyes dimmed. Their hearts sank.
Despair.
"You are divine… yes, undeniably. But you hold no divine seat. What a pity."
The Sacred Monarch laughed.
"I never expected to gain this much. I had intended to hold back. But now, if I devour you, I'll recover everything. Perhaps even break through to the God King realm!"
"Die."
His voice was cold—so cold that the pale sky itself seemed to frost over.
The golden dragon spear turned—piercing toward Gu You's chest like a bolt of lightning.
As the Sacred Monarch's primary target, Gu You felt it most clearly.
His fury was indescribable.
The space around him began to collapse. The protective force of the Douluo Plane—gone. Vanished. As if the plane itself had abandoned him.
Only the Tree of Life continued to pour energy into his body, desperately trying to protect him.
But the plane's power couldn't just vanish.
Unless someone had stripped it away.
Only one person could do that.
'Damn it. Even now… even now you still want to target me?'
'Tang Hao, you bastard!'
