Chapter 887: The Fall of the King (First update, requesting everything)

At this moment, it would be a lie to say that Dou Zhangsheng felt no regret.

However, Dou Zhangsheng did not regret making such a decision; what he regretted was that even though he had overestimated Li Zhangsheng as much as possible, he discovered in the end that he had still underestimated the other party's strength.

If Dou Zhangsheng were given a chance to start over, he would definitely have sought the help of the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong as much as possible, rather than just summoning a single Demon Saint-level flood dragon, and he would not have faced a life-or-death crisis.

Dou Zhangsheng had no way to turn the situation around; all the methods he could use had already been exhausted.

Although Dou Zhangsheng still had some Demon Pets that had not yet been summoned, they were all Lord-level Demon Pets, which were no different from cannon fodder on such a battlefield and could not change the situation at all; furthermore, Dou Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea was in a state of violent oscillation, and summoning them would only aggravate his injuries.

As for temporary enhancement treasures, Dou Zhangsheng did have some on him, but these treasures were generally of low grade and could not enhance the combat power of Demon King-level Demon Pets.

However, the Huang Jia Nei Ku did have such treasures, but it was too late to go and retrieve them now.

Although he was the noble Emperor of the Langya Kingdom and a New King, the Langya Kingdom was still firmly controlled by the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong; if Dou Zhangsheng wanted to take out overly precious treasures from the Huang Jia Nei Ku, he had to obtain the permission of the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong.

After Dou Zhangsheng was injured, his remaining three Demon King-level Demon Pets all revealed expressions of being ready to die, desperately trying to save Dou Zhangsheng.

Unfortunately, in the face of an absolute gap in strength, their actions could not possibly turn the situation around.

Roar~

In the sky, the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon nimbly dodged the offensive of the Demon King-level Blue Dragon and slapped its head with one claw, the immense force directly cracking open the Demon King-level Blue Dragon's skull.

The Demon King-level Blue Dragon's brains splattered, and it fell from the sky into Dou Zhangsheng's Secret Realm; its massive dragon body twitched once, and it never moved again.

On the other side, Li Zhangsheng once again unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Light to neutralize the offensive of one Demon King-level Demon Pet, dodged the attack of another Demon King-level Demon Pet, and then condensed the Light Flame Giant Sword to decapitate one of the Demon King-level Demon Pets.

Crack!

The darkness continued to ravage Dou Zhangsheng; the bones in his right hand fractured, and even though his Jade Bone was tough, it ultimately had its limits.

"Li Zhangsheng, you are indeed very strong, but your end is already destined. If I fall, my ancestors will definitely not let you go. I am willing to proactively resolve the conflict between us; as long as you let me go, I can guarantee the safety of you and your family."

There is great terror between life and death, and Dou Zhangsheng was no exception; furthermore, he had lived in luxury for so many years, and crucially, he still had nearly two hundred years of lifespan left—it would be strange if he weren't afraid of death. Feeling that he could still be saved, he wanted to sue for peace with Li Zhangsheng.

The ancestor Dou Zhangsheng spoke of naturally referred to the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong.

"Dou Zhangsheng, do you think I would believe that? The conflict between us can no longer be resolved; you should just die."

Li Zhangsheng naturally would not believe Dou Zhangsheng's nonsense; even taking a step back, even if Dou Zhangsheng really followed his agreement, the Imperial family had lost so much face this time—where would they put their dignity? Crucially, could he even convince the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong?

The answer was obvious; Li Zhangsheng naturally would not be that naive, nor would he let go of such a formidable enemy as Dou Zhangsheng, especially since he was very interested in Dou Zhangsheng's collection.

"Li Zhangsheng, you cannot kill me..."

Since the battle began, this was the first time Dou Zhangsheng had been affected by fear.

Crack!

While the two were communicating, Dou Zhangsheng's last Demon King-level Demon Pet was outnumbered and eventually followed in the footsteps of the others.

And Dou Zhangsheng was not much better off; his left hand had also fractured and hung limply down.

The darkness launched another attack; this time, Dou Zhangsheng could no longer block it, and his neck was sliced open by sharp claws.

Dou Zhangsheng subconsciously wanted to cover his throat, but both arms did not move at all; he could only watch helplessly as his neck sprayed out a large amount of fresh blood.

"You cannot do this, you cannot..."

Dou Zhangsheng widened his eyes, whispering in his mouth, and finally took his last breath.

The Strength King Dou Zhangsheng, fallen!

At the moment Dou Zhangsheng fell, the entire Secret Realm shook violently, and some unknown changes occurred faintly.

The Secret Realm, which had been continuously devouring energy from the void, was no longer devouring it at this moment, and its area also began to shrink at a slow speed.

If it were not carefully maintained, this Secret Realm would become the same as the Principal's original Secret Realm.

Rumble~

Outside the Secret Realm, the clear blue sky suddenly rang with claps of thunder.

The vast majority of Yecheng residents were already terrified by the fierce battle in the Imperial Palace and the outskirts of Yecheng, and now they were even more startled upon hearing the thunder.

On the outskirts of Yecheng, Luo Qingning faintly sensed that something was wrong and did not continue fighting with Xu Wenhua and the others.

Xu Wenhua and the other three breathed a slight sigh of relief, but they still dared not relax, because in a short period of time, they had already had multiple Demon King-level Demon Pets lose their combat capability.

Suddenly, funeral music resounded through the heavens and earth, as if this world were wailing and weeping.

These scenes made people feel exceptionally oppressive!

At the same time, the sky underwent an astonishing change!

Countless dark clouds appeared out of thin air, and the gale howled and roared like a dragon.

In the blink of an eye, the entire world turned pitch black, and an invisible Pressure spread, giving people a feeling of being unable to breathe.

"This... this is the fall of a King!"

Seeing the changes in the heavens and earth, Luo Qingning's tone was full of trembling, and she subconsciously looked toward the direction of the Yecheng Imperial Palace, faintly feeling uneasy.

With a King falling at this very moment, Luo Qingning had an ominous thought: the King who fell this time was most likely the Strength King Dou Zhangsheng.

Suddenly, a blood-colored rainbow traversed the horizon, stretching as far as the eye could see.

At the same time, within a radius of ten thousand miles, a drizzling blood-colored rain began to fall, as if the entire world were sobbing.

At this moment, the creatures within a radius of ten thousand miles felt a strong sense of sorrow welling up in their hearts involuntarily, with an urge to weep.

The heavens and earth grieve, the blood rainbow appears!

This is the sign of a King's fall!

A radius of ten thousand miles seems large, but in reality, it only encompasses the surrounding few countries, not even reaching one percent of the area of this world.

Only the fall of an Emperor Rank can spread to the entire world.

In Li City Fortress, inside a magnificent palace.

A middle-aged man wearing luxurious robes seemed to sense something; his complexion turned ugly in a flash, and he subconsciously looked toward the direction of Yecheng.

He was the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong, who had been stationed at Li City Fortress for three years.

"The Strength King has fallen!"

With the help of the connection between their Bloodlines, Dou Cangqiong's face was gloomy, his eyes filled with endless rage.

Cultivating a king is not easy, especially a king from the Imperial Family; in the past three hundred years, the Imperial Family has cultivated a total of three kings, which is almost equivalent to one every hundred years.

The current situation in Langya Kingdom is also not very good; if one or two more Abyss Gates appear or the existing Abyss Gates advance, the situation will become very dire.

"Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun has come specifically to pay a visit to the Dark Night King!"

Just at this moment, a magnificent voice resounded over Li City Fortress.
