Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 288 One-on-One Battle Against the Phoenix God! A Terrible Explosion!

In the land where the Phoenix God's legacy is passed down.

Upon hearing Xuanzi's purpose, Ma Hongjun, who was sitting at the head of the table, immediately sat up straight.

"You mean there's some guy outside who's done the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and he's come here with the divine test to specifically ask for Huo Yuhao's name?"

Xuanzi nodded vigorously.

"Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, was also by his side."

"Given the current tense situation in the Sun Moon Empire, the only person who could bring him along is the inheritor of the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and that person is undoubtedly Lan Zhu from the Temple of Light."

"This guy has emerged as a dark horse in the past two years, suddenly appearing and killing two titled Douluo in succession, but he himself is only at the level of Soul Douluo."

"He's definitely one of the Poseidon's top training targets!"

Ma Hongjun was very interested upon hearing this.

He has now completely broken ties with Tang San, and even his true form is now in the camp of the God of Destruction.

Even if this successor of the Sea God doesn't really intend to pass on the divine position, he is still the designated top-notch enforcer.

Killing him will definitely disgust Tang San.

"Very well, bring that person here!"

“God of Phoenix, there is one more thing I need to tell you.” Xuanzi added, “This child belongs to the Temple of Light and possesses the secret technique of resurrection and rebirth. Even if his soul is annihilated, he can be resurrected and return through the void.”

"Ha!" Ma Hongjun scoffed, "It's just a mortal trick, nothing to mention in front of the gods."

Xuanzi was secretly delighted.

If we can find a way to counter the Temple of Light, the outcome will be decided!

They hurried back to the gates of Shrek Academy.

Wang Dong'er and Zhuge Qiu'er have arrived. The two women are staring at Zhuge Lan with strange looks in their eyes.

One of the women knew about the secret technique of creating clones, and the other had a vague premonition through the power of fate—the person in front of them was Huo Yuhao's brother Lan!

But what puzzled Zhuge Qiu'er was how this guy became a core member of the Temple of Light in the Sun and Moon Empire.

The person behind him looks like the head of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. Was he tricked into coming here to deliver this?
There are too many doubts, and for a moment I don't know where to begin.

Knowing that Zhuge Lan wanted to conceal her identity, Wang Dong'er decided to simply go through the motions and make a show of it.

"You two," Xuanzi called out, "The Phoenix God requests your presence. Yuhao has already granted you full authority over the specific details of the transaction."

Wang Donger: ???

How come she doesn't know about this?

Then it dawned on me—this person intended to kill me!
Zhuge Lan didn't say much, but opened a spatial rift and stuffed things into it.

The Seven Luminaries, the Ghost Carving Divine Blade, the storage ring, the soul guide bracelet, and even emotions and divinity were temporarily "deposited".

He even changed into a simple set of clothes and flew alone towards Phoenix Lake.

He appeared to be calmly facing death.

I can't figure out how to deal with Jing Hongchen.

No!

You freaks from the Temple of Light aren’t afraid of death, but I only have one life!
He was speechless.

We agreed to come and trade, how did it suddenly turn into a suicide mission?
Why did I have such a stupid idea and come here to die with this guy?

Mirror of the Mortal World has the will to retreat.

But things are different now. This time he came via a spatial passage and did not bring any manpower or large soul tools.

He could barely put up a fight against Xuanzi, who was at level 98.

but!

This is Shrek Academy's headquarters, the Sea God Pavilion... oh wait, it's now called the Shrek Board of Directors.

There are quite a few titled Douluo.

Even a Soul Master skilled in group battles couldn't withstand such a number.

So he found himself seemingly stuck in a rut.

To follow or not to follow?
I'm still hesitating.

Xuanzi smiled and said, "Dean Hongchen, it's been more than four years since we last met. Don't be in such a hurry to leave this time. Let Shrek Academy give you a proper welcome!"

Jing Hongchen forced a smile. It's over!

He knew he couldn't leave, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and catch up.

Hopefully, this hothead can come up with a solution.
"Buzzing—"

Upon stepping onto the land of inheritance, one sees eight enormous blood-red soul rings hovering in the sky, each ring bearing nine golden patterns.

next moment.

"Kacha—kacha—"

Eight rings exploded simultaneously!

A phantom hovered in mid-air, holding a blood-red trident of the sea god in its hand, raising it high and emitting waves of golden clouds like tsunamis, sweeping across the entire land of inheritance and unleashing the sea god's wrath.

Golden Thirteen Halberds, Second Form: A Thousand Years of Vastness!

The attack range covered everything in sight, and with eight exploding rings that were over 90 years old, the towering waves of soul power even dispersed the clouds in the sky, turning it into a clear sky without a single cloud.

Shrek Academy, however, was not greatly affected. The walls of flame rose on all sides of the inheritance site, evaporating all the waves of soul power.

Poor Jing Hongchen was stuck in the Land of Inheritance, with Zhuge Lan's Thousand Years of Emptiness in front of him and the Phoenix God's Fiery Wall behind him.

Caught between two attacks, he could only squeeze out his only level nine defensive soul tool, which he poured level 94 soul power into and activated at full power.

Even this shield was teetering on the brink of collapse, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and activate the precious level eight invincibility shield.

Taking advantage of the brief period of invincibility, they rushed out of the inheritance site, only to find that the invincible shield, which was supposed to last for 8 seconds, shattered and broke in less than a second.

What does this mean?
Of the two forces that attacked him just now, one or even both of them had reached the level of a Limit Douluo!

It would take at least a demigod-level attack to cause the invincible shield to fail prematurely.

Jing Hongchen was utterly shocked.

No wonder this guy's divine test often restricts martial souls, soul rings, and self-created soul skills.

Wow, he's so powerful when he goes all out!

It just doesn't last very long.

The tsunami of soul power lasted for no more than ten seconds before dissipating and disappearing.

The wall of flames then descended.

Inside the Phoenix Palace.

Zhuge Lan clicked her tongue in regret, looking at Ma Hongjun, who was sitting at the head of the table, not even moving.

Strangely—

"Tang Dachui's nine rings exploding at once can blast away a level 100 Rakshasa God. Although I only have eight rings, the soul power from just one exploding ring is more than that guy's nine rings."

"You seem to be blocking it without any effort?"

Ma Hongjun finally made a move, carefully examining Zhuge Lan.

"I don't know where you got the information about things from ten thousand years ago."

"Although the Great Sumeru Hammer is also a divine skill, it can only deal with new gods who have just reached level 100 and whose soul power has just transformed into divine power."

"Upon reaching the realm of gods, the physical body evolves into a divine body, and the soul rings and martial souls either merge with the body or manifest as external divine artifacts."

"Even if they are both level 100, they can easily slaughter those who haven't ascended yet."

"This is the difference between gods and mortals."

"You dare to dream of killing a god?"

Ma Hongjun looked disdainful, as if he were looking at ants.

Zhuge Lan, however, did not take it seriously and began to optimize the plan.

The difference in quality between soul power and divine power should be negated by mental power, but spatial soul power might be slightly inferior.

As for the carrier issue, we can just use a magic tool.

Then there's the choice of divine skills. He's not like those poor bastards from the Haotian Sect who just keep using the same move, the Great Sumeru Hammer.

The World Destruction Technique, the Dragon's Breath Dance Sword Technique, the Golden Thirteen Halberds, or the spatial divine skills developed later.

Both are better than a broken ring.
