Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 210 The Cicada Sheds Its Shell?

"This is really... a dead end."

Huo Yuhao lowered his head with some difficulty. There was more than one hideous gash across his chest, which was even continuing to extend and penetrate deeper into his muscles and bones, almost breaking his entire body into pieces.

Being burst apart by one's own power is a rare occurrence in the Douluo Continent. Most people only have a very small chance of becoming human bombs when they are equipped with super-powerful spirit rings.

"Who isn't? Anyway, I'm really exhausted."

Tianmeng and Xuedi reappeared around his body, but their spirits were no longer solid. They had become much fainter, and even their radiance seemed to be extinguishing.

Unsealing their origin was never a good strategy. If they hadn't already rebuilt their foundation through Elder Yi's preliminary research and the Gold of Life, that series of eruptions would have burned them to ashes long ago.

"I really don't know what kind of bastard made it so that soul power can backfire on mental attacks... Ouch~ It almost killed me! Luckily, I have a strong foundation..."

Tianmeng clutched his head in pain, never expecting that the greatest mental damage he had ever suffered would be a backlash.

Just now, in order to crush Zhang Peng in one blow, he unleashed all the mental power he could muster without thinking. However, he did not expect that the opponent not only had considerable mental resistance, but also achieved counter-damage by urgently gathering soul power.

If his spiritual essence hadn't been so vast, it really might have been destroyed.

"It's just a minor scratch, is it really that big of a deal..."

A glint of green light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Bingdi, who was working hard to coordinate the multi-threaded operation of the two martial souls and two spirits within his body, finally got a break and immediately started complaining about Tianmeng, who had been slacking off for half the journey.

"I've never suffered such an injustice before... I didn't even suffer this much when I used my mental power to bombard Di Tian."

Tianmeng sighed softly.

"Did the opponent simply use mental resistance to avoid damage?"

Hyotei mercilessly poked at his wound: "Or maybe they're afraid you'll accidentally die from the poison and there won't be any left to eat."

"..."

Harsh words wound the heart of a silkworm.

"Tianmeng, lend a hand."

Huo Yuhao patted the Snow Empress, whose spiritual body was somewhat unstable, and forcibly released her soul release amidst her slightly resistant gaze. He then pointed the light spear at the Grand Elder who was sitting on the ground waiting to die: "Cooperate with me to release a soul shock again."

No matter what, the opponent was a Super Douluo, and he was really afraid that even if he pushed himself to the limit, he wouldn't be able to kill the opponent.

—So, at the same time, Huo Yuhao also took out a level 6 penetrating weapon and, under the elder's slowly sharp gaze, slammed it into the cannon barrel, aiming it at the cannon along with the light spear from the left and right.

"Kid! You really dare..."

The elder's face trembled slightly, whether from rage or fear, it was hard to tell: "You...do you know who I am?!"

"dead."

Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a smirk as a beam of spiritual energy and a trail of light appeared simultaneously.

With the added penetration power of a Soul Douluo's attack, combined with Tianmeng's remaining strength, even a Title Douluo in good condition would have to take it seriously.

Moreover, this was the Grand Elder, who was just one step away from the brink of death.

"That damn kid..."

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the Grand Elder's face twitched a few times before he finally reached out and touched a jade tablet with a dim light.

Although he was reluctant to use this trump card, he had no other choice now... After all, going back there would at least offer him a way to survive.

"Hmph~" Just as he was about to waste his last chance, a cold shout came from above: "End of the Night!"

Several beams of light descended from the sky, transforming into a sphere shimmering with a black halo, which blocked all attacks in front of the Grand Elder at the last second.

“…Zhang Peng?”

Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder immediately released his grip and looked up at the sky with a strange expression.

Huo Yuhao chuckled wryly and patted his brow. A wisp of green light seeped into his body, spreading through his meridians and flesh, rapidly repairing the wounds within.
"As expected, experts at this level never lack ways to protect themselves..."

Zhang Peng, who should have died in the rain of light and shattered into tiny ice crystals, actually appeared in the sky. Although he was pale and weak, his life force was still strong.

It doesn't look like it's about to die at all.

'So this is his so-called "golden cicada shedding its shell"...' Looking at Zhang Peng's appearance, the Grand Elder's heart sank to the bottom once more. 'Does it require a large amount of soul power to activate?'

The current situation has become somewhat unpredictable.

Both of the Holy Spirit Cult's Super Douluo were severely injured. Zhang Peng could at least maintain a fighting stance, but this Grand Elder was practically crippled.

On the other side of the formation, Zhang Peng had just finished exhausting the Sea Princess in the land environment, but now that they've lost such a powerful figure, and with the mermaid inexplicably going berserk at full power, some Soul Douluos are starting to falter and their breathing is unstable.

If that killing god really gets out, it doesn't matter how much soul power he has left... The origin accumulated over 600,000 years can be used as soul power, at least they won't live to see the Sea Princess burn away their origin.

It cannot be delayed, nor can it be slowed down.

But now they don't know what the guy on the other side is like, so they don't dare to make a move rashly.

'And there were two of them—two?'

The elder's eyes widened, a sudden chill running through him: 'Wait…'

They've been making a fuss here for ages. Where did that girl go during that time?
"boom!"

Before he could even guess the result, the direction of the altar had already revealed the answer to them.

The crimson light array, which was barely holding on, suddenly flickered erratically. The Holy Spirit Cult experts surrounding it seemed to be under a spell, their radiance dimmed. Although the soul power protection on their bodies was still intact, their spirits and bodies felt as if they had been slashed by a great knife...

Extremely fragile!

Even the Grand Elder, upon glancing at it, would have this strange, intuitive judgment in his mind.

"Pfft~"

A ring of fire was lit around the altar, and the soul power fluctuations emanating from it indicated its inherent attributes.

The realm of light and fire, and also of spirit and vitality!

However, in general, such a mixed domain is like the Evil Eye; the more attributes it has, the more chaotic and unrefined it becomes, and its strength will not be very high.

However, this domain that encompassed the entire altar was completely different. Not only were the four powers perfectly integrated, but they also amplified each other, radiating terrifying fluctuations.

"She's so slow..."

Almost exhausted from the battle, Huo Yuhao piloted his aircraft to a high altitude, calmly facing Zhang Peng, trying his best to keep these two indecisive super Douluo here.

"Not everyone is as outrageous as you. If she dares to unseal her source without any preparation, she will only be able to hold on for less than ten seconds."

Tianmeng casually replied, "Once you exceed that, it'll... Boom! It'll explode on the spot."
