Chapter 422: The Third Method to Eliminate Hei Qi
Throughout the history of the Douluo Continent, countless battles and mighty figures have emerged. But never before has anything unfolded in such a way as today.
In a world where even catching a glimpse of a Titled Douluo was once rare, several deities now appeared simultaneously—and even a clash between Divine Kings broke out.
Although Gu Yuena was currently injured and had not yet reached the Divine King realm, with the support of the supreme divine weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear, along with her divine king–level spiritual force and physique, she was fully capable of contending against a Divine King.
Before such formidable powers, even with the Divine Realm's protection, the destruction of the Star Dou Forest was inevitable.
Witnessing this, Gu Yuena was devastated. Divine power surged wildly around her, and the killing intent in her eyes condensed into pure energy, sustaining her body.
As the soul beasts' sovereign, all soul beasts between heaven and earth were her subjects. And now, the greatest soul beast forest on the continent had been destroyed right before her eyes. How could she possibly endure such agony?
"This is getting troublesome."
Faced with Gu Yuena's increasingly aggressive assault, Hei Qi frowned, showing clear displeasure.
Above, the five Divine Kings were watching closely. Below, Gu Yuena blocked his path. Nearby, the Thunder God King interfered. It was all extremely frustrating.
As the first trace of darkness born from the universe, and its first living being, when had he ever suffered such humiliation—being forced into retreat?
"Divine Technique: Obliteration of the Cosmos!"
Hei Qi's eyes sharpened. His right hand clenched into the void, and the most primal origin of darkness emerged behind him.
The darkness origin and light origin were, aside from the origins of causality and creation, time, and space, the rarest and most powerful forces. Their power was unmatched by any other origin.
Moreover, as a being in complete control of the darkness origin, Hei Qi's mastery over this power was second only to the universe's own origin will—and perhaps the never-seen light origin. No other being could rival his expertise.
That was why, upon seeing Hei Qi truly unleash the power of darkness origin, both Gu Yuena and Kong finally revealed solemn expressions.
"Divine Technique: Silver Dragon's Sky-Piercing Descent!"
Now free from the Star Dou Forest's restrictions, Gu Yuena no longer suppressed her injuries. Her full cultivation was ignited to the limit, even showing signs of breaking through to Divine King at any moment.
"Do you need me to act?"
Just then, a graceful figure in purple appeared beside Kong.
It was Raiden Ei.
Now standing at Kong's side, she looked up calmly at the two forces about to collide. Her beautiful eyes remained serene, as if she had never taken the two of them seriously.
"Wait a bit longer."
Kong shook his head, eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "After this clash, both sides will surely be heavily wounded. Even if you act now, you won't be able to completely eliminate either of them. So let's wait—see if we can find an opening or another method."
"Thunder God King, I have a solution."
Just as Kong finished speaking, a calm voice rang out in his mind.
"You have a solution? Who are you?"
Kong frowned as he heard the voice in his mind, visibly puzzled.
At present, neither he nor the five Divine Kings of the Divine Realm had found a way to permanently eliminate Hei Qi. Yet this sudden voice claimed to have one—that alone made him deeply skeptical.
"I am the will of the universe's origin," the voice replied.
"The will of the universe's origin?"
Hearing the other party reveal their identity, Kong snapped back to attention. Without any hesitation, he asked directly, "Since that's the case, then what method are you talking about?"
"This method may not succeed," the will of the universe's origin replied calmly, "but it is indeed the only way to eliminate darkness without destroying the universe."
"So what exactly is the method?" Kong's expression turned speechless. After all that buildup, why hadn't it just said the method already?
Whether it would work or not could only be determined by trying. In any case, they didn't have a better idea.
"Find the will of the light origin."
The will of the universe's origin spoke as if it were a trivial matter, its tone unshaken. "The darkness origin and light origin were both born at the dawn of the universe. But after all these years, the will of the light origin has never appeared—not even I have seen it. I only know it truly exists somewhere within this universe."
"In that case, how do you expect me to find it?"
Kong raised an important question. "Even if we decide to look for it, we don't know how much time it will take. The effort and time required would be enormous. That method doesn't sound reliable."
"I can grant you a portion of the origin of time and the origin of space, allowing you enough time to search. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the will of the darkness origin recovers to its peak, and then have your wife seal it. Or, destroy the entire universe to completely annihilate it—but in that case, countless living beings will perish. So, between these three methods, which one do you choose?"
The will of the universe's origin laid out three options for Kong and asked him to choose based on his own judgment.
"I choose to search for the will of the light origin!"
Kong fell silent. After a moment, his eyes filled with determination. "Just tell me what I need to do!"
"Relax—just don't interfere with anything."
As soon as the words fell, a surge of chaotic energy began to condense in the depths of the universe. Carried within it were the origins of time and space, causing the entire cosmic force to distort.
Upon witnessing this scene, the five Divine Kings of the Divine Realm all widened their eyes.
What the hell—was this even possible?
The battle between these two had actually alarmed the will of the universe's origin into action?
If they remembered correctly, even in the past—during the battles against Hei Qi or the Dragon God—the will of the universe's origin had remained completely unmoved.
So why was it now, at this particular moment, choosing to act?
Under the stunned and curious gazes of the five, a beam of white light descended from the will of the universe's origin. Wrapped in chaos, space, and time, it shot down toward Douluo Continent—toward the Star Dou Forest.
At the instant this power descended, every living being—except for Raiden Ei—was frozen in place. This included Gu Yuena and Hei Qi locked in combat, Kong himself, and Qian Renxue and the others watching from afar.
None of them could move.
