Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong Chapter 130

The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon was finally quietly sitting on the throne in the midst of the castle ruins and Sheng Feilong was finally able to stand up again . He cautiously wandered around the throne room, trying to find anything of importance at all before he set his eyes onto the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon .

He drew closer to it, looking it up and down, then walked around the throne in circles . Everything looked just like the last time he saw it . Like nothing had ever happened and the incredible outburst of the demon was but a lie .

Seeing that the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon didn't react, Sheng Feilong focused on the throne itself . The strange runes that lit up on it before where nowhere to be seen . No traces were left of them, nor were any engravings; The throne was as plain as always .

There were also no indicators left that could explain the chains that pierced and bound the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon . No wounds were left on the demon and there were no traces on the throne . Sheng Feilong reached out with one hand, touching the backside of the throne .

It was smooth; cold and hard to the touch, like any ordinary, somewhat polished stone . Again, nothing out of the ordinary could be made out . Even the 100 . 000-years-old Doomstinger Dragonfly's External Soul Bone was still quietly laying in a corner on the throne room like nothing happened .

If not for the memories of this unfathomable hatred that the demon's spirit radiated and the fact that the whole ground around them was still filled with deep ravines, Sheng Feilong would've really believed that nothing had happened .

There was, however, one thing that Sheng Feilong would never forget about this whole situation . It all started when Yuanen Yehui used her fourth Soul Skill and the demon that looked just like her stepped out of the gate that her Soul Skill created . The ara radiating from it as well as it's appearance clearly indicated that it was a demon .

With this known to him, it didn't take Sheng Feilong much brainpower to come up with the conclusion that, for whatever reason, the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon hat demons themselves to the core . In fact, it hated them so much that it forced itself to reappear only to go on a rampage fueled by rage .

Seeing that everything returned to normal, Sheng Feilong slowly wandered out of the castle ruins and onto the open field . The former, desolate black wastelands were now filled with deep ravines with strange muddy green light radiating form their bottoms and grey vapour rising off them .

Despite the changed landscapes, the whole region still felt the same . The grey vapour and strange green light don't seem to do anything . Sheng Feilong crossed onto the other side of his spiritual consciousness, the silvery white world, again . There, the sky had returned to the tranquil silver curtain with spotless white clouds; The dark grey was completely gone .

He quickly checked on the other ent.i.ties in his spiritual consciousness; The Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes, his Spirit Souls and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Artificial Soul Bone . Catching a glimpse on them and making sure they were okay, he left his spiritual consciousness again .

Naturally, Sheng Feilong was still aware in what kind of situation he was when he entered his spiritual consciousness . He couldn't keep control over the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's power, the corrosive grey vapour creeping out of his body and he even collapsed with quite a few people around him .

------------------------

In the waiting area of the Star Luo Empire's grand coliseum, She Meixiao was staring at the still unconscious Sheng Feilong intently . After En Ci arrived and said his piece, she could do nothing but wait; She knew he was right, so she focused on suppressing that grey vapour .

With her cultivation, this wasn't too hard, but it didn't end there . A while after the vapour started to appear, Sheng Feilong's skin became darker and darker with the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's unique green veins spreading over his body, constantly pulsating .

The whole ting continued on for a while, with Sheng Feilong even sprouting horns from the side of his head at some point, before it suddenly completely stopped . Not only didn't his body change any further, everything quickly returned to normal and even the grey vapour disappeared .

Some more time pa.s.sed with Sheng Feilong quietly lying inside the barrier She Meixiao created . Tang Wulin and the other Shrek students anxiously stood by the side, inside the second barrier that En Ci had created . Yuanen Yehui had also rejoined with them, naturally, she was shocked about what was going on .

Sheng Feilong slowly opened his eyes after another while had pa.s.sed . He groaned slightly and sat up . He flinched, quickly noticing that the grey vapour had corroded his clothes . Luckily, they weren't completely destroyed and the remaining rags still covered his body . He heaved a light sigh of relief and cracked a light smile . 'This could've become really embarra.s.sing . '

He looked up to see She Meixiao standing in front of him with a solemn expression on her face and all nine of her Soul Rings suspended in the air behind her . He also noticed Tang Wulin and the rest of the Shrek students standing a few steps behind her with worried gazes .

This scene was really to similar to when he firs met the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's spirit at Daedalus . Back then, he had destroyed nearly the whole infirmary room, though, not just some concrete of the coliseum's waiting area . His small smile quickly vanished when he noticed another powerful figure behind him .

En Ci looked at Sheng Feilong with an appreciative gaze . Despite the confusing situation and his Master and friends in front of him, Sheng Feilong still noticed him standing behind him while he didn't make his presence known on purpose . 'This boy's senses are quite sharp . '

Before Sheng Feilong could say anything, the barrier She Meixiao had set up vanished and he heard the latter's voice . "What happened, Feilong? Are you alright now?" She was now looking at him with a concerned expression, the same one Tang Wulin and the others made .

Sheng Feilong smiled lightly in response . "I'm fine, Master . " He paused for a moment, slightly glancing at Tang Wulin and the others as well as indicating at En Ci behind him with his eyes . "Is it fine to speak . . ?"

En Ci instantly understood Sheng Feilong's concern . He turned towards She Meixiao and spoke with a nod . "Since there is no longer any problem here, I will excuse myself . " Although the Emperor had told him to find out what was going on, the situation had gone beyond what he had expected at first and he knew better than to pry into the matters of other t.i.tled Douluo's, especially those matters concerning people like She Meixiao .

She Meixiao acknowledged his goodwill with a nod before En Ci vanished into thin air like a ghost . Tang Wulin also noticed Sheng Feilong's hesitation and spoke up . "We'll go watch the other matches . Goodbye, Madam She . Later, Feilong . "

"Eh? But we still don't know what-" Xu Xiaoyan started but Gu Yue grabbed her should, lightly shaking her head while shooting Sheng Feilong a frowning glance . "Let's go . " Thus, the Shrek students also left, leaving Sheng Feilong alone with She Meixiao .

The two of them relocated to a quiet room inside the coliseum . She Meixiao looked at Sheng Feilong with a concerned look once more . "What happened? How did you suddenly lost control over the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon?"

Sheng Feilong began explaining what had happened in detail . How he had watched Yuanen Yehui's match together with Tang Wulin and the others, the sudden, violent reaction of the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon when the demonized Yuanen Yehui stepped out of the Gates of h.e.l.l and also what had happened inside his spiritual consciousness .

She Meixiao listened closely, waiting for Sheng Feilong to finish what he had to say, but her face grew more and more serious as time went on . " . . . It hates other demons to the core . . ? So much so that a single demon being near you caused such a reaction?"

"Yes, but I also don't understand why . It also happened so suddenly . But, that wasn't the first time I was near a demon, was it? Aren't there a few people with demonic Spirit Essences at Daedalus?" Sheng Feilong had a frown on his face as well .

(A/N: A certain rabbit knows the reason *cough* Don't you dare talk, though . I'll cook you into a stew . )

She Meixiao stayed silent for a while, quietly processing all of the information Sheng Feilong had just given her . She looked at him again with worry in her eyes . "Are you really sure you are okay now?" Sheng Feilong smiled and gave her a cheerful nod .

She Meixiao smiled lightly, obviously relieved about his answer . She asked a few questions about some details that Sheng Feilong mentioned and they quickly came to an agreement, that She Meixiao spoke out loud . "I think you should resign from the compet.i.tion . Even if you're okay, we don't know if the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's spirit will cause havoc again . Moreover, I'm concerned about the throne and those black chains you mentioned . "
