Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 148 The Gap Between Super Douluo

Such a bizarre spirit ring configuration left Golden Crocodile Douluo utterly astonished. Although he knew that Ding Quan might possess a 100,000-year spirit ring, he was still equally shocked to see the spirit ring that Ding Quan was releasing at this moment.

This is a person who absolutely cannot be judged by common sense.

Of the seven spirit rings that Golden Crocodile Douluo had revolving around Ding Quan, very few of them were normal.

The yellow spirit ring actually had an orange tint, as if it had a layer of red, making it look nothing like a century-old yellow spirit ring.

As for the fourth spirit ring, which is black with a golden glow, it is probably the Golden Dragon Spirit Beast. The power of the spirit skills provided by this spirit ring is absolutely unimaginable.

The sixth spirit ring was the same color as the Tiger Soul, gray. Such a color for a spirit ring was unprecedented, and the origin of this spirit ring was definitely extraordinary.

"Uncle Jian!"

"A fourth soul ring for ten thousand years! A seventh soul ring for one hundred thousand years! No wonder with such a soul ring configuration!" Chen Xin looked at the giant sword over a hundred meters long in the sky, where the seven soul rings, now enormous, were particularly eye-catching.

"No wonder this person had been hiding his spirit ring configuration all along!"

"His understanding of martial spirit has reached an extremely high level, which is why he was able to integrate the spirit ring into his martial spirit. But now it seems there is another reason."

"The fourth spirit ring is ten thousand years, no wonder the seventh spirit ring can absorb one hundred thousand years." As the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi's theory of spirit martial arts was naturally not weak. Thinking of Tang San's situation of absorbing spirit martial arts beyond his level, he already felt that Tang San was extremely rare, but Ding Quan was even more outrageous.

This person probably started absorbing spirit rings beyond their level from the second spirit ring onwards, and the spirit rings they absorbed were not ordinary ones.

The color looked increasingly strange the more you looked at it.

"Young people these days!"

If other forces were to learn of his fourth ring of ten thousand years, he would inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the major powers on the continent, and given their strength at the time, they would find it difficult to protect themselves.

As for now.

Chen Xin looked at the two people with red spirit rings in the distance. Now, even if they knew that the other party had a fourth spirit ring of ten thousand years or even a seventh spirit ring of one hundred thousand years, not many forces would dare to attack them.

The Golden Crocodile Douluo of the Spirit Hall fought with Ding Quan, but he didn't use his full strength. He seemed to be communicating with Ding Quan the whole time, probably because he wanted to recruit Ding Quan into the Spirit Hall.

Ding Quan has now revealed a Soul Ring configuration that has never been shown before, perhaps indicating that he is about to use his full strength.

While integrating a spirit ring into a martial soul can indeed enhance one's strength to a certain extent, it requires a great deal of mental energy. As someone who can integrate a spirit ring into the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin knows very well that if he wants to use his strongest attack, he cannot use his mental energy on this.

"A Soul Saint with a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring! Can his strength really be that great?"

Tang San, seeing the group fall silent, asked Tang Hao, who was also at a loss for words.

"While the effects of a 100,000-year soul ring are powerful, they could never achieve this level of power." Tang Hao sensed the auras of the two, and their power was probably comparable to his own before he used the exploding soul ring.

More than 20 years ago, when I broke through to the Title Douluo level because of Ah Yin's sacrifice, I probably couldn't have achieved what I have now. But back then, I was already a Title Douluo, and a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring.

Looking at the seven spirit rings in the distance, this person is only at the seventh ring level.

Seven rings!

The previous scene must have been an anomaly caused by his breakthrough. In that case, he is now only a quasi-Soul Douluo.

Tang Hao looked at Tang San, who had a heavy expression, and unleashed the power of a Super Douluo with his level 80 strength. This was a level that Tang San could not achieve even if he reached level 80.

A seventh spirit ring that takes 100,000 years to form is something Tang San is currently incapable of achieving.

Even if he absorbed two more soul bones, he still couldn't do it; even if those two soul bones were 100,000 years old, it probably still wouldn't work.

The difference in soul power between a 100,000-year soul ring and an ordinary 10,000-year soul ring is too great. Tang San's Eight Spider Lances have absorbed and devoured countless human-faced demon spiders in the Star Dou Great Forest, and their age has reached nearly 100,000 years. However, it only allowed Tang San to absorb two more 50,000-year soul rings before reaching the limit. The energy of two 50,000-year soul rings cannot be compared with that of a 100,000-year soul ring.

"This is the True Form of the Martial Soul! And this is a domain?!" A cry of surprise brought Tang Hao back to his senses. He had almost forgotten that the person had not used his True Form of the Martial Soul before, and once the True Form of the Martial Soul was released, the strength would undergo a tremendous change.

Besides the God of Slaughter Domain, he actually has other domain skills!
“Aside from the innate domain, a domain is basically only obtainable by a Title Douluo who absorbs the ninth spirit ring. Ding Quan has an extremely strong understanding of his martial soul, and this 100,000-year spirit ring is his most important seventh spirit ring, so it is indeed easier for him to obtain a domain.” Chen Xin, who possesses an innate domain, suppressed his shock. “This 100,000-year spirit ring is extremely suitable for Ding Quan’s martial soul. His martial soul true body is too enormous.”

"He also has the soul bone of that 100,000-year-old soul beast. Absorbing soul bones and soul rings produced by the same soul beast will enhance a soul master's abilities even more."

Golden Crocodile Douluo felt a slight suppression on his body. Although domain skills can enhance one's own strength and suppress opponents, the suppression effect will be greatly reduced when the difference in strength is large.

However, upon seeing the domain that enveloped him, Golden Crocodile Douluo was also extremely surprised.

These are the other domain skills besides the two domains I know about Ding Quan. However, these domain skills are not innate domains and require the use of soul rings and soul bones to be used.

Looking at the wildly swirling sword energy around him, he realized it was a domain skill that enhanced his own sword intent attack. This was exactly the same as the right arm soul bone skill that Ding Quan had just released. This was because the soul bone and soul ring came from the same soul beast. This 100,000-year-old soul beast was absolutely perfect for Ding Quan, allowing him to obtain a domain skill at the Soul Saint stage. This was a skill that countless Title Douluos could not obtain when absorbing their ninth soul ring.

Including himself, although his ninth spirit ring was 100,000 years old, the spirit beast and his spirit were not very compatible, and he did not obtain a domain.

"What is the name of this domain?" Golden Crocodile Douluo sensed the sword energy within this domain, which was still increasing. It could enhance the self-created soul skill he was currently using, so it was no wonder that he was able to obtain this domain skill.

"Emperor Sword Domain!"

As Ding Quan spoke, his aura grew stronger and stronger. The dragon patterns on his body lit up, and terrifying soul power flowed through him. The enormous soul power contained in his soul core surged out, creating a storm of sword energy around him.

This skill is similar to Snow Dance Shining in the Sun, one of the three great skills of the Snow Emperor. However, Ding Quan's martial soul is the Dragon Abyss Sword, which is not of the ultimate ice attribute. Therefore, it changed when applied to Ding Quan.

Although Xue Di's spirit rings did not provide any spirit skills, she could release this domain herself through spirit rings and spirit bones.

"Emperor Sword? That's a good name. Is the self-created soul skill you're using now...?" The surrounding sword energy was immense and sharp; even an existence of the same level might struggle to survive here. "That's right, it's called Emperor Sword."

"As expected!" The ability of this domain is exactly the same as the soul skill that kid just used.

"Senior, be careful!"

"Haha! Although your strength has exceeded my expectations, you are not capable of hurting me in your current state." Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed upon hearing this, and his gaze towards Ding Quan had changed from shock to admiration.

Buzz~!

A massive surge of soul power instantly filled the world, and Ding Quan's figure vanished in an instant. Then, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the giant sword, which was over a hundred meters long, in the sky.

A humanoid phantom, nearly two hundred meters tall and remarkably similar to Ding Quan, swung its massive sword, over a hundred meters long, fiercely slashing at the equally massive Golden Crocodile King opposite it.

clang!
Boom~!

A sudden gust of wind swept through the Sunset Forest, mercilessly snapping the surrounding trees, which were then reduced to dust by the pervasive sword energy.

A violent burst of energy suddenly emanated from the two colossal creatures, and even the Heavenly Dou Imperial City could feel a terrifying pressure. Countless people stood on the city walls of the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, looking towards the Sunset Forest where terrifying sounds were coming from.

Several figures flashed by in the sky.

Having clashed with Golden Crocodile Douluo countless times, Ding Quan found himself unable to break through the opponent's martial soul, which was entirely composed of soul power. He felt his aura slowly increasing, but he still couldn't break through Golden Crocodile Douluo's defense, as the opponent hadn't even used any soul skills.

As expected of someone who can withstand god-level attacks and still have energy left, this Golden Crocodile Douluo is said to be a powerful offensive Soul Master, but his defensive power definitely surpasses that of ordinary pure defensive Soul Masters.

Even though he has now released his Martial Soul True Form and used his second Soul Skill, Fervor, making him several times stronger than before, he still can't make Golden Crocodile Douluo retreat a single step.

"Your soul power can actually surpass mine?" Golden Crocodile Douluo was equally surprised. Although the person in front of him was only level 80, his soul power probably exceeded that of a Super Douluo. With his Martial Soul True Body and the soul power he was releasing, he could definitely leave an ordinary Title Douluo with almost no soul power.

But now the other party seems to be unaffected. Is this due to the effect of this field?

Golden Crocodile Douluo sensed the dissipating soul power and the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) converging towards Ding Quan. The other party's recovery speed was equally outrageous, even surpassing his own.

"Senior's strength is truly formidable." Upon hearing this, Ding Quan realized that although Golden Crocodile Douluo did not possess ultimate attributes, his soul power was definitely superior to that of Ice Emperor, who possessed ultimate ice.

The Golden Crocodile King, as a martial spirit, could perhaps be called a super spirit beast, as its defense and strength surpass those of many top-tier spirit beasts.

In the Douluo Continent, there are no ordinary soul beasts with the golden bloodline; they all possess incredibly powerful attack and defense capabilities.

When he sparred with Hyotei, his soul power could break through her defenses. Now, his strength has changed dramatically, but only now has his soul power managed to penetrate her soul power defenses.

That's right. Ice Emperor's 390,000 years of cultivation is roughly equivalent to the peak of level 97 Soul Master, while Golden Crocodile Douluo is a solid level 98 peak.

At their level, even with powerful ultimate attributes, it's difficult to bridge the gap in rank. Besides, the Golden Crocodile King might not be inferior to the Ice Jade Scorpion.

"Haha! If I were given some time to break through to level 95, I might not be your match." Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a smile, Ding Quan's strength made him take notice.

"Break through level 95?" Ding Quan was stunned upon hearing this. Breaking through level 95 meant that one needed strength above level 96. With the strength he had shown so far, did he really need to reach level 96 or higher to defeat him? Or did the gap in strength become so large after level 96?

"Do you know my strength?" Jin E Ding Quan asked, sounding somewhat puzzled by Ding Quan's tone.

"Senior, your strength is very close to that of the strongest person I encountered before. Your soul power must have reached level ninety-eight."

"Approaching? With your immense talent, you might easily reach my level. Your senior didn't tell you about the gap between Super Douluo and others." Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded knowingly and continued, "After Super Douluo, the gap between each level is enormous, several times larger, and cannot be bridged by spirit rings. As for the gap between Peerless Douluo and Peak Douluo, it's like the difference between heaven and earth, a gap that inspires despair."

"Is that so?" Ding Quan heard the Golden Crocodile Douluo's tone become somewhat somber. The difference between what the Golden Crocodile Douluo said and what Chen Xin said seemed to be completely different.

The words of Golden Crocodile Douluo are more credible, considering that his strength has reached the peak of level 98 and he is acquainted with a peerless Douluo.

In the original work, when Chen Xin said this, his strength was at level 96. Perhaps he thought that the gap afterward would be the same as the gap between level 95 and level 96.

None of the three current Peerless Douluo have shown their true strength, but the Limit Douluo ten thousand years later is terrifying, facing a level 98 being without any pressure.

In the original novel, Tang San fought against Golden Crocodile Douluo. At that time, Tang San, who was already level 93, was exhausted. It should be noted that Tang San at that time possessed several 100,000-year spirit rings. More importantly, he had a divine artifact in his hand and could use some of the power of the Sea God. If it weren't for Tang Hao, who was level 97, appearing at that time, he might have already died.
As for the battle between Tang Hao and Jin E, Jin E was not injured. He only lost his spirit when facing Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer, which is known as a divine skill of the Haotian Sect.

"I have been stuck at this level for over fifty years, and I have never been able to cross that threshold. The gap between us is far from what you describe as close."

"I see." Ding Quan nodded. Among the peerless Douluo of this era, two were worshippers of the gods, and the others were inheritors of the gods. This means that level ninety-nine is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Aren't you going to use the domain you had when you broke through?" Golden Crocodile Douluo blocked Ding Quan's attack again. The terrifying sword energy had no effect on the Golden Crocodile King. Golden Crocodile Douluo knew that Ding Quan still had two domains, and the golden domain from before had a stronger suppressive effect on him.

The suppression effects of domains cannot be stacked. Releasing multiple domains simultaneously will only result in suppression from the strongest domain.

However, the characteristics of the domains can coexist. If Ding Quan releases the Dragon Abyss Domain and the Killing God Domain, the Dragon Abyss Domain currently has the strongest suppression, which will suppress the opponent's strength by two levels. The Killing God Domain's current 10% suppression will not overlap with the Dragon Abyss Domain to increase to three levels, but the killing aura of the Killing God Domain will exist, which can enhance Ding Quan's momentum.

"As you say, senior." Ding Quan nodded upon hearing this. The suppression of the Emperor Sword Domain was similar to that of the Dragon Abyss Domain, but the Dragon Abyss Domain's ability to enhance one's own attack power could coexist with the Emperor Sword Domain, greatly enhancing one's own attack power.

hold head high! !

A dragon's roar resounded from Ding Quan's body, and a golden halo instantly spread out, then merged with the Emperor Sword Domain.

A colossal golden dragon phantom appeared out of thin air. With the release of Ding Quan's soul power and the effect of the power of the two domains, the golden dragon phantom, as large as the Golden Crocodile King, quickly solidified and confronted the Golden Crocodile King behind the Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression finally turned solemn. This golden dragon made his martial soul feel suppressed; this was the pressure of his bloodline.
