The Divine Progenitor of Douluo

At the center of the Obsidian Abyss, the group found the Shadow God's stronghold—a massive, pulsating structure radiating dark energy. The system issued a dire warning:

---

[Boss Encounter: Abyssal Core Guardian]

Threat Level: Legendary

Abilities: Corruption Wave, Abyssal Chains, Regeneration

Weakness: Divine Light

---

The Abyssal Core Guardian, a monstrous creature formed of shadow and bone, emerged to block their path.

---

The Battle

Xiao Tian and Renxue launched a coordinated attack, their light-based abilities countering the Guardian's regeneration.

Mei Lan and Ling'er attacked from a distance, their fire and ice creating a devastating combination.

Zhao Yue and Feng Yue targeted its weak points, disrupting its abilities.

The battle was grueling, but Xiao Tian's final strike—a combination of his 500,000-year soul ring and the Elemental Unity Blessing—destroyed the Guardian, shattering the stronghold.

---

Victory

As the stronghold collapsed, the system chimed:

---

[Quest Completed: Destroy the Abyssal Stronghold]

Reward: Divine Purification Orb – Can purify large-scale corruption.

---

The group escaped just as the abyss began to collapse.
