Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 282 Killing the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect, Creating a New Combat Technique, Mountain Dragon Blood God Sword
"Resentful? Save those words for your fallen comrades. Today, I'm only here to smash you to pieces!"

The Mountain Dragon King unleashed his divine power, his overwhelming force, akin to a natural disaster, leaving the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect almost powerless to retaliate.

Xu Tianxi knew the principle of eliminating the root of the problem. Haotian Sect was bound to be an enemy, so killing one today was a good thing!
He adopted a posture with his left palm facing inward and upward, supporting the sky, and his right palm facing outward and downward, subduing the sea, achieving oneness with heaven and man, and using the power of the mountain dragon king to unleash an even more terrifying natural disaster.

"swamp!"

The phantom of the Mountain Dragon King and Xu Tianxi coldly uttered two words. This was the fifth soul skill that the Mountain Dragon King had bestowed upon Xu Tianxi, a soul skill that was on par with the Azure Sea. It was the most terrifying natural disaster resulting from the combination of earth and water elements.

A bizarre scene unfolded as massive torrents surged forth from the sky and the sea simultaneously. Within these torrents, clusters of brownish-red light instantly magnified and spread towards Elder Tang.

Dazed by the giant waves but not yet in immediate danger, Old Tang suddenly sensed a tremendous crisis. He felt as if he had been sent to the gates of hell, with countless chilling little devils reaching out their claws, trying to drag him into a place from which he could never escape.

When Tang Lao looked with his spiritual power, he was immediately terrified. Cold sweat soaked his vest and forehead. He saw that the brownish light was actually a terrifying mass of mudslides, huge and abnormally large, surrounding him.

He strained his strength, swinging the two Haotian Hammers with all his might, but the swamp moved faster than anything he could imagine, engulfing him from the sky and the sea without warning.

All he could do was hold the two Haotian Hammers in front of him, desperately trying to protect his life. The Haotian Protective Shield had already shattered in the previous collision. He desperately used his soul skill, which was fused with the Nine Absolutes of Haotian, to fight against the might of nature.

The surging blood energy was bubbling and churning. Although Tang Lao was an old man, his blood energy was extremely fierce. He swung his giant hammer incessantly, and under extreme pressure, he brought out the strongest version of his strength.

Sometimes there's a soaring strike that seems to shatter mountains and seas; sometimes there's a meteor-like radiating attack, a mountain collapsing before you, a "Break" technique that combines forces to break through defenses, and a continuous, overlapping "Pierce" technique...

Tang Lao displayed the explosive power of the Haotian Nine Absolute Techniques to its fullest extent. These were the signature techniques that enabled the Haotian Sect to become the number one sect in the world ten thousand years ago. Even today, these nine power-generating techniques still have a great effect in battle and are top-level combat skills that have been honed through countless trials.

Xu Tianxi took in all of this. While maintaining his state of perfect harmony with nature and methodically trapping and killing Old Tang, he used his mental power to imprint all of Old Tang's movements and send them to his spiritual sea.

His gaze sharpened, and as he made connections, he quickly exclaimed in admiration, "These techniques are quite good. With some study, they could be modified into a very effective set of fist techniques..."

After more than a year of seclusion in Longgu, with the guidance of the Mountain Dragon King and the Snow Emperor, he has thoroughly mastered and adapted the combat techniques and methods he learned from the Snow Emperor and the ancient family, and his attainments in the unity of heaven and man are already very profound.

Now, he has reached the level of a renowned master. Upon seeing the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, he immediately used his spiritual power to analyze the principles behind them and gained a profound understanding.

In terms of profundity, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Haotian Sect and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian are far less profound than the Sword Palm and Coiling Dragon Staff Technique of the Snow Emperor. Their origins are merely unique power generation techniques, but these techniques are most suitable for those with strong blood and qi, and can also be used by those with powerful weapon spirits.

There are no particularly profound techniques involved; it's just a pure burst of power. However, this method is not easy to break. If one can fully master these nine techniques, one's explosive power will rise to a higher level.

After summarizing it, in addition to himself, Gu Zhaoqiu, Ji Juechen, Meng Hongchen, Ye Guyi and others can also learn and cultivate it...

"It's a pity that Xiao Hongchen couldn't do it. What a pity, what a pity. How did you, a three-legged golden toad soul master, end up cultivating yourself into a long-range artillery turret..."

Xu Tianxi sighed inwardly. If Lao Xiao couldn't learn this technique, the gap between him and his sister might widen further in the future. He wondered if Lao Xiao's personality could handle it.

When I left nearly two years ago, he was still at the peak of level 58. In two years, he must have already broken through to the Soul Emperor level. I just don't know what his soul spirit is like. I hope Dean Hongchen and the new Spirit Transmission Master Meng Hongchen will not let him down.

Xu Tianxi frowned slightly as his gaze returned to Old Tang.

"Judging from this old man's appearance, it seems he doesn't know the Great Sumeru Hammer or the Exploding Ring, otherwise he would have already broken out. Let him live a little longer. Hopefully, the Haotian Sect hasn't been wasting its time for the past ten thousand years and can come up with some new innovations. These are all old artifacts left over from the Tang Chen era..."

Xu Tianxi dared to emerge from seclusion because he possessed even more formidable offensive techniques. These were the pinnacle of his self-created soul skills, honed over a year of research. They were far more lethal than the Mountain Dragon King's million-year soul skills and represented a deeper level of development and utilization of the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline.

Old Tang naturally had no idea that his opponent had forced him to this point without using his full strength to kill him, nor did he know that the other party was holding back because he wanted to see more of the Haotian Sect's legacy from him.

Surrounded by a completely enclosed swamp and towering tsunamis, Tang Lao unleashed one soul skill after another, trying to break free and find a way to survive, but the terrifying swamp only brought him darkness and suffocation.

He couldn't help but curse his bad luck in his heart, deeply regretting that he had so easily agreed to the mission of the two Heavenly Sect Masters, bringing a few old brothers to the deep sea to force the Tongtian Baxia clan, only to fall into an ambush instead.

Now that the land is so vast and remote, unless the Sea God ancestor appears, there is no way any reinforcements will come. The two sect leaders may not even know that they have been attacked by the dragons and died here.

He was even angrier that the sect had been closed off for too long, and those disciples hadn't even managed to find out the information about the dragon race. The terrifying mountain dragon in front of him was definitely a top-level true dragon, with enough strength to be listed among the top ten ferocious beasts. However, it had never shown its strength before, so it must be a hidden hand of Di Tian!
"My two sect leaders, you came from the heavens, claiming to be omniscient and omnipotent, and descended to the mortal realm with the goddess. But how could you not have anticipated that the Tongtian Baxia clan would have such powerful allies? Three of my old brothers have already died. Do you know where this dragon clan expert who has driven me to the brink of despair came from...?"

Tang Lao cried out in deep sorrow, calling out in his heart for the two holy sect leaders who had descended.

Before today, let alone having any knowledge of it, he had never even heard of what a mountain dragon was. It was one thing that he couldn't gain an advantage in close combat, but every talent ability of this mountain dragon king seemed more like a natural disaster than a soul skill. Perhaps only on land would his strength be somewhat weakened.

The swamp and floods continuously eroded Tang Lao's soul power and willpower. The dragon's roar echoed, suppressing his soul and soul, bringing Tang Lao's willpower to the brink of collapse.

Their Clear Sky Sect had a tradition of practicing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and other sect secrets under waterfalls, but a waterfall was nothing compared to the ocean. Even the 100,000-year soul skills recorded in the sect's records were far more terrifying than anything he had ever seen. In fact, the power of the Mountain Dragon King's million-year soul skill exceeded not only Elder Tang's expectations but also Xu Tianxi's.

Before the fierce battle, he thought that after he unleashed three wide-range, all-around attacks, he would have to fight Haotian Hammer head-on. However, the Mountain Dragon King's ability was too oppressive. Combined with the burst of divine beast celestial phenomena, the scene was like mountains and seas taking shape and meteors falling from the moon. The commotion was even greater than when Tongtian Bazu fought the Sea Princess.

Brother Mountain Dragon King is truly honest. If he says it's a million-year soul skill, then it really is a million-year soul skill. Its wide-range group attack is far more terrifying than a single-target attack. When it's unleashed, it can crush people without giving them a chance to speak. It's much more practical than the two soul skills that Ice Emperor gave to Huo in the original story.

"Boom boom—" The swamp spread and bound like a tornado, crashing heavily into Tang Lao's Clear Sky Hammer. The soul power protective shield he created with his soul power shattered in large sections and was about to collapse.

Huge streams of mud surged forth, binding his arms, powerful legs, chest, and back tightly.

"Ice Transformation!" Xu Tianxi coldly activated his new ability. This was not the Mountain Dragon King's soul skill, but his control over the elements of heaven and earth. Its power was somewhat inferior, but it was enough to deal with Old Tang, who was at his last gasp.

"Crack~" A bone-chilling cold suddenly surged from the swamp and the waves, and the blue light and shadow flowed, as if a huge and beautiful scorpion was walking and climbing in the tsunami, with its front claws and tail shooting out clusters of blue light.

The swamp and ocean waves melted into ice at an unimaginable speed. In the blink of an eye, the Grand Elder of the Haotian Sect was completely frozen solid from the outside, turning into an ice sculpture.

Inside the ice sculpture, Old Tang's mouth was agape, his eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with terror.

"Let me tell you, the reason I kept you here was to see how capable your Haotian Sect really is, but unfortunately your performance was really not good."

The waves parted to make way for Xu Tianxi, who walked on them, his thick black hair flying and his clothes fluttering. His tall figure stood proudly and imposingly, appearing even taller. With his hands behind his back, the world seemed to change color. He seemed to have come from ancient times, each step representing a new era.

"I don't know if this is all the methods your Haotian Sect has, or if you didn't have time to use them, or if there are some methods you don't know how to use, but at least for now..."

Xu Tianxi paused, then pulled his right hand out from behind his back, raised it above his shoulder, and with a clench of his fist, a giant heavy sword appeared in his palm.

"I have no patience left to wait for you." Xu Tianxi gripped his heavy sword, pointing it at Elder Tang, his eyes like cold stars.

The hilt of this giant sword is three feet long, and the blade is nine feet long. It is shaped like a mountain dragon, and the blade is blood gold, swallowing and spewing out the surging mountains and rivers.

The moment it appeared, its profound and powerful sword intent instantly dyed the sky blood gold, as if the void was about to be torn apart, and endless blood gold halos appeared around Xu Tianxi.

In that instant, the world changed color, and even Di Tian, ​​who was fighting the High Priest of the Sea God in the distance, and Tongtian Bazu, who was suppressing the Sea Princess, couldn't help but cast a surprised glance.

"When did the Mountain Dragon Clan start using swords? Is this a self-created combat technique?"

Di Tian glanced at the Black Dragon Sword in his hand and felt that Xu Tianxi's Mountain Dragon Sword seemed to have something that he didn't have.

So he gripped his sword tightly and continued to slash at the high priest of the sea god who was wearing the helmet of the sea god, saying, "I'll see how long this helmet can protect you!"

He thinks he can fight against Di Tian with just a sea god's helmet? Does he think he's never seen a divine artifact before? What a laughable fellow!
"boom!"

Tongtian Bazu struck the Sea Princess in the chest with a palm, turning her body into foam for the second time. Then, seeing Xu Tianxi summon the Mountain Dragon Blood Divine Sword, a hint of approval appeared on his gaunt face. "This grand-disciple of mine is truly remarkable."

When Xu Xiaoyun first came here, he formally became a disciple of Tongtian Bazu. Tongtian Bazu accepted this disciple, and Xu Tianxi also became his junior.

Looking back now, Tongtian Bazu felt an overwhelming sense of joy for the first time in many years, realizing that he was of a very high generation.

"Wow——!"

A powerful sword aura rose up, and Xu Tianxi communicated with the heavens through his own thoughts. With a wave of the Mountain Dragon Divine Sword, he connected heaven and earth, and the sword shadow stretched across the sky for thousands of feet, slashing down at the ice sculpture in which Tang Lao had transformed.

In an instant, the ice sculpture that had trapped Tang Lao was shattered, and his face was filled with boundless fear. He wanted to say something, but he found that everything in front of him had turned blood red, and his body was torn apart in an instant.

The unparalleled pain made him scream, but that was all.

Under the watchful eyes of many experts, his body was pierced by the shadow of the Mountain Dragon Sword, and the giant dragon's light and shadow crushed his head, followed by his body.

The blood mist burst open, and Old Tang's body was destroyed under the sword shadows, leaving only six gleaming soul bones on the spot.

"Collect!" Xu Tianxi waved his sleeve, and the overwhelming sword shadows dissipated. The six soul bones flew into his sleeve, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As Di Tian knew, the Mountain Dragon Clan originally had no swords. The natural disasters they controlled were already terrifying enough. But Xu Tianxi used the Snow Emperor's Imperial Sword as a template to extract a trace of the Asura Blood Sword's secrets, drawing upon the Mountain Dragon's blood to form the Mountain Dragon Blood God Sword, the most powerful combat technique that consumed a great deal of energy.

With a single sword strike, mountains can be moved and seas filled, and powerful enemies can be annihilated in an instant!
