Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 338 Divine Artifact Golden Dragon Spear
Xu Xiaoyan's pretty face tightened, the starlight at the top of the Star Staff shone brightly, and her third soul ring flickered violently.

"Starlight Feedback!"

A distorted ripple of starlight shot toward the core of the "Endless Water Tornado" above Bo Xi's head, which was expanding wildly and emitting a low rumble.

She tried to disrupt its rotation trajectory, even deflecting it.

However, the reality is cruel.

The fundamental difference between a thousand-year soul ring and a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and the enormous gap in soul power between a Soul Master and a Soul King, are like an insurmountable chasm.

The starlight ripples only caused a tiny ripple on the surface of the wildly spinning waterspout, and its expansion was halted for a negligible moment before being completely submerged and swallowed by the even more turbulent water and soul power.

The waterspout's diameter was expanding at a visible rate, and the strong winds it generated made it difficult for nearby team members to stand.

"Blue-Silver-Golden Light Array!"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin ignored Long Yue's frenzied attacks and forcibly distracted himself to release his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

Countless vines entwined with golden patterns burst forth from the earth, attempting to intertwine and form an array to strip away the surrounding dense water element, thus eliminating the source of the problem.

"Hmph! Don't even think about it!"

Long Yue grinned maliciously as his fifth spirit ring shone brightly!

"Mountain Suppression!"

A massive, dark gold mountain phantom descended with tremendous force, slamming into the newly sprouting Blue Silver Emperor vines.

The resilient Blue Silver Emperor was instantly crushed into the alloy ground, shattering inch by inch. The Golden Light Array collapsed before it could even take shape!

Tang Wulin groaned, the backlash from his soul skill combined with the force of withstanding the Dragon Leap's attack caused blood to spill from the corner of his mouth again.

"Can't wait any longer!"

A resolute glint flashed in Yuan Enhui's eyes. She abruptly withdrew her Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, and her aura instantly turned dark and sinister.

Fallen Angel Martial Soul Possession!

Black wings unfurled behind her, and purplish-black lines crept across her pale face. She formed hand seals, and a colossal portal, filled with the aura of sulfur and despair, and burning with dark purple flames, roared open before her—"The Gates of Hell!"

"Roar—!" "Hiss—!"

Several low-level demons, with ferocious appearances and exuding a chaotic and evil aura, roared and charged out, heading straight for the nearest Monster Academy members.

Hua Lantang was closest and was about to pounce on Yuan En Yehui when he was caught off guard and struck hard in the abdomen by the claws of a horned demon. A cold and evil curse energy instantly invaded his body.

"Ugh!"

Hua Lantang's face turned deathly pale instantly, his movements slowed noticeably, and his eyes began to glaze over. His fierce fighting spirit, which had been doused with cold water, quickly dissipated.

Curse status activated!
In the stands, Yue Zhengyu's expression was extremely serious, even carrying a hint of cold killing intent.

"The Gates of Hell... the Anchor Point of the Demon Dimension!"

He muttered to himself, if Yuanen Yehui weren't a member of Shrek Academy, his duty as a member of the Angel Clan would have made him purify her without hesitation. This kind of martial soul was far too dangerous.

More and more demons were pouring out of the door. Yuan Enhui's body trembled slightly, and the purplish-black patterns were spreading rapidly. Her eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes filled with violence.

She's gambling! Gambling that her partner or rival will defeat her in time and stop the gates of hell from expanding further!

Her bet paid off; the chaos and added threat brought by the Gates of Hell instantly broke the deadlock.

Bo Xi's expression changed slightly, and even the waterspout that was frantically gathering power above his head had to temporarily divert some of his attention.

"Take care of that door first!"

Bo Xi's voice carried an undeniable authority. He focused water towards the gates of hell, and a high-pressure water jet shot out, precisely blasting a demon that had just charged out into black smoke.

Long Yue, Dai Yueyan, Su Mu, and the others also had to divert their energy to either dodge or attack the demons that were charging at them fearlessly.

Tengteng was forced to abandon his plan to assassinate Xu Lizhi again. His figure moved quickly in the shadows, and his dagger accurately pierced the demon's vitals.

The situation was brought back to a delicate balance due to this sudden change.

However, the "endless waterspout" above Bossi's head did not stop.

It continues to frantically absorb water vapor and energy from the steam field and the deep-sea high-pressure field.

Its diameter had expanded to an astonishing ten meters, and the suction generated by its high-speed rotation began to pull at the rubble at the edge of the arena. The terrifying pressure caused the protective shield to hum under the strain.

Its accumulated destructive power is enough to make even a Soul Douluo tremble in fear!

Bai Yuan's expression turned serious. They couldn't wait any longer; if they allowed the waterspout to take shape, the entire arena would be destroyed, and none of their team members had full-body battle armor.

"Roar--!"

A roar that seemed to come from the primordial chaos erupted from Bai Yuan's mouth.

His abyssal aura surged to its peak in an instant.

"Three heads and six arms!"

With a surge of soul power, a terrifying, five-zhang-tall abyssal gluttonous dharma image rose from the ground.

The three enormous Taotie heads roared greedily, and the six thick arms were bulging with muscles, each palm split open into a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth.

Immediately afterwards, the Abyss Phantom was activated.

Bai Yuan's true form, along with his enormous Dharma image, instantly became half-illusory and half-real, like a demon god shrouded in the mists of the abyss.

His speed suddenly doubled, and he transformed into a massive, moving source of devouring power, charging towards Bo Xi with a destructive sense of oppression.

Any attack—whether it's the halo Su Mu tries to trap, the tiger claw gale Dai Yueyan strikes out of the blue, or the dragon-wolf claw shadow that Hua Lantang struggles to unleash under Ye Zhi's amplification…

When approaching within ten meters of Bai Yuan, they must first be weakened by the "Abyss Domain," then partially devoured by the giant maw in the palm of the "Taotie Dharma Image*," before finally being applied to Bai Yuan's powerful defense, which combines the bloodlines of the Abyss and Taotie.

With the triple weakening, even Long Yue's full-force attack could not truly cripple Bai Yuan, who was now in full power. He was like a demon god descending to earth, unstoppable.

"Great! Let's see who wins this round!"

A crimson light flashed in Bo Xi's eyes.

"Reverse Scale!"

The fourth spirit ring shone, and the dragon bloodline instantly boiled.

His body swelled slightly, and red light shone through his azure scales. His aura was like an erupting volcano, and his strength, speed, and soul power fluctuations instantly doubled.

He abandoned his defense, his body covered in dragon scales, and he instinctively used the water flow for defense. He clenched his fists and chose to fight Bai Yuan in close combat!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Every punch landed squarely! Every palm strike was devastating!
Bo Xi's fists were enveloped in intensely hot, high-pressure steam, each strike exploding like a steam bomb. Bai Yuan's gluttonous giant hand, on the other hand, carried unparalleled devouring power, frantically tearing at Bo Xi's soul power and blood essence.

The shockwaves from the steam explosion were continuously swallowed and annihilated by the abyss, while the power of swallowing was constantly offset by the berserk power and high-temperature steam in the Reverse Scale state.

The two engaged in a frenzied battle at the core of the domain, where high-pressure steam and dark abyss intertwined. Their speed was so great that they left behind afterimages, and the dull thuds of their collisions were like the beating of drums.

Bo Xi's endurance is astonishing, constantly replenished by the "Boundless Vast Ocean"; Bai Yuan's devouring power is almost limitless.
For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand, and the battle reached a fierce stalemate!

On the other hand, Tang Wulin's situation became increasingly difficult.

Although he activated "Immovable as a Mountain" to withstand the attack, the vast difference in their cultivation levels was like an insurmountable chasm.

With the assistance of Ye Zhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Long Yue's offensive was like a raging storm.

Each slam of his arm numbed Tang Wulin's arms. The alloy arena beneath his feet was already shattered. He was like a rock in a raging storm; though he didn't break, he was constantly forced back, and blood kept spilling from his mouth.

"Wu Lin, imagine drawing the spear! Quickly!" Tang San's divine voice boomed in Tang Wu Lin's mind, guiding him to unseal the divine artifact.

"A gun? I don't have one..." Tang Wulin shouted in his mind.

'Unleash your imagination, use your blood, your will, to awaken it! The power of the Golden Dragon King is the key!'

At the critical moment of life and death, Tang Wulin had a stroke of inspiration.

He bit his tongue sharply, spitting a mouthful of blood imbued with the Golden Dragon King's essence onto his chest. At the same time, he frantically poured all his anger, defiance, and will to protect his comrades into the dormant rib artifact within his body!
Om-!
An unprecedentedly dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from Tang Wulin's chest.

Wherever the golden light reached, even Bo Xi's steam domain and Bai Yuan's abyss domain were temporarily pushed aside.
A long spear, entirely golden in color, with an ancient and domineering design and radiating supreme dragon might, appeared in Tang Wulin's hand.

Golden Dragon Spear!

Although the gun was covered with intricate sealing patterns and its divine power was restrained, the sharpness and weight originating from the Dragon God's essence instantly silenced the entire arena.

Long Yue was the first to be hit. He felt as if the Mountain Dragon King's martial spirit was trembling with a mournful cry. He himself felt as if he were being targeted by an ancient ferocious beast. A fear originating from the deepest part of his blood made the hair on his body stand on end.

He unleashed the Wrath of the Mountain Dragon King, only to have it seemingly casually blocked by the opponent raising his Golden Dragon Spear.

"Dang - click!"

A sickening cracking sound rang out! The scales on the dragon's body were shattered.

An overwhelming force, accompanied by a terrifying dragon's might, traveled up the gun barrel. As if struck by a heavy blow, Long Yue's massive body flew backward uncontrollably for the first time, crashing heavily onto the protective shield dozens of meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

He stared in horror at the golden spear in Tang Wulin's hand, which emanated an aura that sent shivers down his spine, and dared not step forward for a moment.

He had a premonition that if he were pierced by the spear, he would definitely die!

"Now!"

Seizing this moment of respite, Xu Lizhi unleashed the last of his potential from his obese body, accurately tossing the last batch of steamed buns he had made—"Recovery Meat Buns," "Light and Agile Steamed Buns," "Bloodthirsty Red Bean Buns," and "Pierced Char Siu Buns"—to his teammates.

After doing all this, he was almost completely exhausted of his soul power and knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

However, Tengteng, who had been lurking like a venomous snake, had been waiting for this moment.

The moment Xu Lizhi relaxed his guard, he emerged from the shadows beneath Xu Lizhi's feet like a ghost, his dagger gleaming coldly, and gently pressed against the back of Xu Lizhi's neck.

"Out."

A cold, trembling voice rang out. Xu Lizhi froze, helplessly being eliminated by the referee.

"asshole!"

Ye Xinglan roared angrily, and followed the sword.

A dazzling sword light, imbued with her anger and sword intent, streaked across the night sky like a shooting star, instantly traversing space and piercing straight towards Teng Teng.

Tengteng reacted extremely quickly, trying to blend into the shadows, but the sword light seemed to have locked onto his soul.

puff!

The sword light pierced through his body, and with a muffled groan, he fell out of the shadows, revealing a deep, bone-revealing sword wound on his chest. He was also taken away by the referee.

Ye Xinglan was also breathing heavily due to her full power.

Yuan Enhui had reached her limit in maintaining the Gates of Hell; the purplish-black patterns almost covered half of her face, and her eyes were locked in a fierce battle between madness and clarity.

After releasing yet another demon, she swayed and deliberately cut off the supply of soul power, causing the gates of hell to slam shut.

She weakly knelt on one knee, and Dai Yueyan, who was close behind, seized the opportunity, sweeping past her with a tiger claw-like gust of wind, thus eliminating her from the competition.

On the other side, Hua Lantang, who was plagued by a demonic curse and whose condition was declining, was also swept away by the aftershock of Ye Xinglan's sword energy in the chaos, and was unable to fight anymore, thus being eliminated.

At this moment, the "Endless Water Tornado" above Bo Xi's head finally completed its power-up.

A giant waterspout with a diameter of over fifteen meters roared deafeningly, like a giant water serpent connecting heaven and earth, rampaging and sweeping across the arena with an aura of destruction!
"Get out of the way!"

Wu Siduo screamed and launched her Netherworld Thrust, narrowly avoiding the sweeping water blade.

Xu Xiaoyan used her star staff to strike repeatedly, and the starlight chains bound herself and Ye Xinglan, pulling them desperately towards the edge.

Dai Yueyan, Su Mu, and Ye Zhi were also in a sorry state, desperately trying to avoid this terrifying natural disaster that was attacking indiscriminately.

Rumble——!
Wherever the waterspout passed, the hard alloy arena was torn apart and rolled up like tofu.

The raging water flow, carrying high pressure and a rapidly rotating cutting force, even tore the air out of its vacuum!

Despite their best efforts to dodge, Wu Siduo, Xu Xiaoyan, and Ye Xinglan were still struck by the edge of the raging water. Their protective soul power shattered instantly, leaving them severely injured and coughing up blood. They were rescued by the referee in time.

Dai Yueyan, Su Mu, and Ye Zhi were not spared either. Although they did not suffer fatal injuries under Bo Xi's deliberate control, they were severely injured by the residual power of the water tornado and lost their fighting ability.

The raging waterspout slowly dissipated, leaving behind a scene of devastation, like an arena struck by a meteorite. The protective shield was riddled with cracks, its light dimmed.

Only four figures remained on the field.

On the east side, Bai Yuan and Bo Xi continued their fierce battle.

Steam explosions and abyssal devouring continued to annihilate them; both were injured, but their aura remained terrifying.

On the west side, Tang Wulin held the Golden Dragon Spear, its tip pointing directly at Long Yue, who was struggling to stand up. Long Yue looked at the golden spear that made his soul tremble, his eyes filled with fear and resentment, his aura already suppressed.

The balance of victory shifted the moment Tang Wulin revealed his Golden Dragon Spear.

Bo Xi glanced at Long Yue's condition, then at Tang Wulin, who was wielding a divine weapon and exuding an imposing aura, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He suddenly unleashed a powerful attack, temporarily forcing Bai Yuan back, and then retreated.

"A shockingly powerful and deadly attack!"

Even if the battle is going badly, having received benefits from the Star Luo Empire, Bo Xi should at least try to make things look better.

Bo Xi leaped into the endless water tornado, using the power of water to control his two soul skills, merging them into one. The water tornado transformed into a giant turbine blade, cutting through everything on the arena!
Tang Wulin was forced to retreat. His Golden Dragon Spear was nearly three meters long and incomparably sharp, but it still couldn't reach Bo Xi at this moment, let alone cut through the constantly swirling water!
