Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Chen Xin's pupils also contracted sharply; he knew best how strong his own attack was.

With Ning Fengzhi's 80% amplification, this sword strike could directly cleave through Gu Rong's defenses, even if Gu Rong had activated all his defenses!

But when it hits this guy, it's only to this extent?
"Absolute defense... it truly lives up to its name." Hu Bai's expression was equally solemn.

Just then, the deep, resonant sound of 'Pan' rang out once more.

"A decent attack, but unfortunately... it's not enough."

As soon as it finished speaking, its arm, which had been struck by the Seven Kill Sword, suddenly trembled!
An unparalleled force surged forth, and the hundred-meter-long giant sword that Chen Xin had transformed into was actually flung away!
Chen Xin let out a muffled groan in mid-air, regaining his human form, his face flushed.

The force of the recoil almost made him lose his grip on the Seven Kill Sword.

"It's not over yet!"

'Pan' slowly raised its other giant leg, which was like a pillar of heaven, and then stomped down heavily on the spot where the three of them were!

This stomp seemed to pierce through the entire earth!

A huge shadow instantly enveloped the three of them, and an indescribable sense of oppression made them hold their breath.

"Scatter!" Hu Bai shouted in a low voice.

The three of them instantly dodged in three different directions.

"boom--!"

As the giant foot landed, the entire basin collapsed dozens of meters, and deep, bottomless cracks spread out in all directions like a spider web!

The power of just one kick is terrifying!
"This won't work, we can't break its defenses at all!" Chen Xin flashed to Hu Bai's side and said in a deep voice.

"Its defensive capabilities have exceeded our expectations." Ning Fengzhi also looked solemn.

Hu Bai's brain was working at lightning speed.

A head-on confrontation is definitely not a wise move.

The defensive power of this 'rock' has probably reached the peak of level 98, or even level 99!

Since physical attacks aren't very effective, let's try mental attacks!
"Sword Douluo, Sect Master Ning, please help me hold them off while I give it a try!" Hu Bai said.

"it is good!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi once again took the initiative to go forward.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!" Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword split into ten thousand, transforming into a dense rain of swords that shot wildly toward 'Pan's' head, attempting to disrupt its vision.

"Of the eight treasures, the sixth is called: Increase!"

A beam of light fell upon Chen Xin, amplifying his Seven Kill Sword Qi!

At that moment, Hu Bai closed his eyes.

His vast spiritual power, comparable to that of a Limit Douluo, was released without reservation at this moment, transforming into an invisible sharp cone that fiercely pierced 'Pan's' "bean eyes"!
Mental shock!

However, just as his spiritual power was about to touch the 'rock', an equally heavy and ancient spiritual barrier appeared out of thin air and blocked his way.

Hu Bai's sharp spiritual spear pierced the barrier, but it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

"Useless, successor." 'Pan's' voice carried a hint of mockery.

"My body is one with this land. My will is the will of this land. Your spiritual power may be strong, but how can it shake a continent?"

Hu Bai's heart sank.

Its physical defense is unmatched, and its mental defense is equally unsolvable!
This guy is practically an impenetrable fortress!
Generally speaking, beings with invincible physical defenses usually have a weakness in mental strength, but this Earth Ruler is completely different!
"careful!"

In the instant Hu Bai was distracted, 'Pan's' enormous hand slammed down on him like a dark cloud covering the sky!
"Eighth Soul Skill, Eight Treasures Divine Protection!"

At the critical moment, Ning Fengzhi's angry shout rang out.

A stream of light flew out from the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda and instantly formed a huge energy shield in front of Hu Bai!

This is a powerful defensive soul skill brought about by his 70,000-year soul ring!

It can be used five times a day, and its effect is to completely defend against attacks from those below level 90. As for those above the Title Douluo level, the defensive effect gradually weakens.

"boom--!"

The giant hand slammed down hard on the Eight Treasures Divine Protection.

The shield, strong enough to withstand an attack from a low-level Title Douluo, lasted less than a second under the giant hand before cracking and shattering with a "crack"!
However, it was precisely this precious second that gave Hu Bai time to react!

"Earth Element Mastery, Earth Dragon Spike!"

A glint flashed in Hu Bai's eyes, and he slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled violently, and countless thick, sharp rock spikes grew wildly from the ground, slamming into the palm of 'Pan' that came down!
Although these spikes shattered the moment they touched 'Pan's' palm, they still managed to halt its attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hu Bai retreated rapidly, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

Then, Hu Bai returned to Ning Fengzhi's side.

"Sect Leader Ning, how is your soul power depleted?"

Ning Fengzhi, pale-faced and looking grim, said, "My support is almost out of breath. They can only last for two more minutes at most. You need to find this guy's weakness as soon as possible!"

On the other side, Chen Xin was also fighting and retreating, not daring to engage in a direct confrontation with 'Pan'.

At this moment, the situation reached an unprecedented stalemate.

We can't break through their defenses.

We can't afford to waste time.

Is it really... going to lose?
Do not!
There must be another way!

Hu Bai's gaze was fixed on the massive body of 'Pan', his brain working at an unprecedented speed.

Absolute defense... Lifespan as long as the continent... Heart of the Earth...

and many more!

The Heart of the Earth!

A glint suddenly flashed in Hu Bai's eyes!
He remembered that the description of 'Pan' included the phrase "controlling the heart of the earth"!
heart!

No matter how powerful a creature may appear, its heart is always its most fatal weakness!
Although this 'Pan' is an elemental life form, it must also have something like a "core" or "origin"!

As long as we can find the "Heart of the Earth" and destroy it, we will definitely be able to defeat it!
But where exactly is that "heart of the earth" hidden in its enormous body?
Using mental power to investigate is completely ineffective; its mental barrier is too strong.

So……

A resolute glint flashed in Hu Bai's eyes.

That's the only one I can use!

"Sword Douluo, Sect Master Ning, I've thought of a way!" Hu Bai said in a deep voice, "but I need you to buy me some time, and in the end, I need you to concentrate all your strength on one point!"

Hearing Hu Bai's words, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, who had been somewhat desperate, instantly had hope rekindled in their eyes. "Little Bai, tell us, what should we do!"

"Alright!" Hu Bai took a deep breath. "From now on, follow my instructions!"

He turned his head and looked at 'Pan' again, his eyes no longer showing any confusion.

"Lord of Earth, I must admit, you are very strong," Hu Bai said loudly. "However, you are not invincible!"

"Oh?" 'Pan' seemed intrigued. "Then let me see what other skills you have."

"as you wish!"

Hu Bai's lips curled into a smile, and a mysterious and vast aura slowly rose from his body.

That's neither soul power nor mental power.

That is... the power of fate!
Without using the power of the gods, simply attach the power of fate to one's own perception!
In an instant, the whole world changed in Hu Bai's eyes.

Countless lines of cause and effect, some real and some virtual, permeate the entire space.

In his eyes, the enormous body of 'Pan' was no longer an indestructible rock, but a collection of countless earth-yellow energy particles.

At the very core of that aggregate, specifically near its chest, there was an incredibly dazzling point of light that was slowly pulsating!

Each pulsation resonates with the elements throughout the entire Earth Realm!

found it!
That is the heart of the earth!
"It's now!"

"The Prison of the Earth!"

He pressed his hands on the ground again, but this time, he mobilized all the earth elements in the entire basin, and even within a hundred miles!
He possesses unparalleled control over the earth element and also has the Heart of the Element. How could his control over the earth element be weaker than 'Pan'?
“Rumble, rumble—!”

At that moment, the earth roared in fury!

The ground on all sides seemed to come alive, and four incredibly thick earthen walls rose up, instantly closing in to form a huge, airtight cage, trapping 'Pan's' massive body inside!

Before 'Pan' could react, countless thick rock chains extended from the inner wall of the cage, like pythons, wrapping around its limbs and body, locking it tightly!
"Roar--!"

'Pan' let out an angry roar, and with a sudden struggle, countless rock chains snapped.

But Hu Bai just gave a cold laugh.

"It's no use! Even though I'm not from this world, I'm still just as good at playing with dirt!"

With a thought, the elemental amplification spirit ring beneath Hu Bai lit up, giving him even more enhancements!
More chains surged out from the walls of the cage, wrapping themselves around it one after another.

"Sword Douluo! Sect Master Ning!" Hu Bai roared.

Subsequently, Hu Bai also activated the mental detection sharing, allowing the two of them to perceive the results he had just detected.

"coming!"

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin have long been ready to make their move!
"The eight treasures are named: the third is Soul! The fifth is Attack! The sixth is Enhancement!"

Ning Fengzhi bestowed the last and strongest amplification from the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda upon Chen Xin without reservation!
At this moment, Chen Xin's momentum surged to an unprecedented peak!
He raised the Seven Kill Sword high, and he and the sword became one!

"Seven Kills True Body!"

"Man and sword unite!"

At this moment, Chen Xin transformed into a giant hundred-meter-long sword once again and began reciting poetry.

"The osmanthus trees are in full bloom for a hundred miles, and the partridges cry in the cool shade at noon."

"The peaks above Yanpingjin are as sharp as if cut by a sword, and the water flows on as long as the sword has flown across the sky."

"The Way of the Sword, the Heart of Dust!" (Slaying both God and Demon)

This is several times more powerful than the eighth soul skill from before; it's Chen Xin's ultimate, trump card attack!
A terrifying sword beam that reached the heavens and the earth erupted from the Seven Kill Sword. Its dazzling light even turned the yellowish-brown sky pale white!
"cut!"

Chen Xin locked onto the spot below 'Pan's' chest, the spot that Hu Bai had revealed using the power of fate!

The heart of '磐'!

Chen Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp light. The sword light, powerful enough to annihilate stars, trailed a long burst of air, like a meteor falling from the heavens, and shot towards the point shared by Hu Bai's spiritual detection!

"boom--!"

This time, it wasn't a dull thud.

Instead, it was a sound like... a crisp sound of glass shattering!
The sword light pierced into 'Pan's' indestructible body without any hindrance!
"Roar……"

"How...how is this possible? How could you possibly have found the location of my energy core!"

'Pan's' massive body suddenly stiffened.

It slowly lowered its head, looking at the huge hole in its chest pierced by the sword light, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared in its beady eyes.

“Crack…Crack…”

Fine cracks spread rapidly across its entire body, centered on the hole.

Finally, a deafening "boom" resounded!
Gaia, the ruler of the mountain range, had his body, which was as large as a mountain, completely shattered and turned into rocks and dust that filled the sky before collapsing with a crash.

The battle is over.

Hu Bai, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi were all panting heavily and pale-faced.

The series of bursts just now almost exhausted all of their soul power.

But their faces bore the joy of victory.

They succeeded!

In the sea of ​​spirit.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also breathed a sigh of relief: "Holy crap! This rock giant's energy core isn't even fixed."

"Fortunately, Xiaobai used the power of destiny to penetrate his mental barrier and detect the exact location. Because Sword Douluo has the ability to share mental detection, he was able to lock onto it directly."

"If the speed were any slower, the energy core would have transferred to other parts of the body." Tianmeng patted her chest with her short hand.

Then, with a touch of pride, he said, "Hehe, it's all thanks to the soul skill I, your brother Tianmeng, bestowed upon me that it achieved its maximum effect!"

"This Earth Ruler's strength is comparable to a level 97 Super Douluo in our world, and its defense is comparable to a level 98 peak."

"If that were all, defeating him would be relatively easy with Xiaobai's strength. But the most frustrating thing is... the will of this Earth Ruler seems to be bound to this plane, and mental attacks are ineffective!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was furious about this.

Xiao Bai's elemental control is limited to earth, and his mental power cannot break through the mental barrier of 'Pan' unless he directly shoots through this plane.

Ice Emperor sneered: "Little White just wants to pass the test using a more conventional method. If he really uses his full strength, how can this demiplane stop him?"

"Little White didn't even use the Earth Artifact!"
