Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 362 Eternal Burning (Happy New Year)
The seven-thousand-year-old Blue Demon Bird has developed normal rationality, a privilege reserved for super soul beasts.

Blue Shadow suddenly paused. It could feel its entire body trembling as it faced the falling sun; it would be crippled even if it didn't die.

It hurriedly spread its wings, and the fleshy wings beneath them also unfolded, relying on the air currents to force itself to slow down. Finally, it narrowly missed the sun and rose again, returning to the high sky.

As the sun's rays gradually faded, a majestic figure, woven with gold and deep purple, emerged, its blade gleaming with a destructive light.

Golden and purple divine wings unfolded behind him, and indifferent golden eyes locked onto the blue demon bird circling in the sky.

A destructive force sent a chill down the Blue Demon Bird's spine; it sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

Bai E raised Qin Chen, the sword's edge pointing at the Blue Demon Bird. Under the threat of the Destruction True Meaning, the Blue Demon Bird was unable to dodge for a moment, and its proud speed became useless.

Soon, the surging destructive power ignited the Dawn Greatsword, and a large amount of soul power surged within its body.

A golden torrent shot from the sword's edge toward the Blue Demon Bird. The sun's brilliant sunlight paled in comparison to this golden torrent, and the entire world was drawn to its golden light.

Wherever the golden torrent went, its destructive power ravaged everything, and space itself creaked under its unbearable weight.

The Blue Demon Bird folded its wings, and the nine silver stripes on its back shone brightly. As a "space messenger," its spatial attribute quality was extremely high, and even normal space dragons might not be able to compare with it.

Heavy spatial blockades and barriers appeared directly in front of the golden torrent.

The golden torrent crashed mercilessly against the spatial barrier, causing the destructive golden light to pause for a moment before the destructive power began to frantically melt away the barrier in front of it.

The Blue Demon Bird let out a loud "Screech!!!" and mobilized its spatial power to the fullest extent. The barrier constantly shifted between solidifying and shattering. The darling of space and the new ruler of destruction clashed. However, it was clear that in this round of fighting, the Blue Demon Bird was at a disadvantage.

Space power is indeed a very high-level power. In Douluo Continent, time is not much more noble than space, and is mainly mysterious.

To contend with Bai E's destructive power, one would need at least the spatial power of a second-generation spatial dragon king like Tibo.

"Screech!!! (If I don't act now, I'm doomed!!!)"

"Screech! Screech?! (And why are you just watching?!)"

Seeing the destructive golden torrent already forming multiple barriers and only a few meters away, the Blue Demon Bird immediately let out a loud cry, questioning the Thunderous Hell Vine below why it was just watching the show.

When questioned by his companions, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng finally stopped pretending, his dark purple body surrounded by roaring purple lightning.

Thunder bolts shot high into the sky, covering a patch of blue sky with thunderclouds. Purple lightning flashed within the dark clouds, and a thunderstorm was brewing.

Because the Thunderous Hell Vine Canyon is not far away, and the sky there is covered with thunderclouds all year round, the thunder element here is abundant, and the thunderstorm was brewing in no time.

Several bolts of purple lightning, as thick as buckets, streaked through the air at incredible speed. The terrifying currents ionized the air, filling the surroundings with the pungent smell of ozone and nitrogen oxides.

Bai E frowned, stopping the output of the golden torrent. The destructive golden light of the Qin Chen Greatsword still lingered.

With a flap of his golden and purple wings, he carried Bai E away from where he stood. No sooner had he left than purple lightning slammed into the ground.

Large amounts of soil were thrown high into the air, and huge cracks like spider webs appeared on the ground. Countless trees were shattered into wood chips by the lightning, which were scattered throughout the forest along with the soil.

Seeing the golden torrent disappear, the Blue Demon Bird breathed a sigh of relief. Its body, which was slightly smaller than that of normal bird-type soul beasts, tore through space and came to the side of the Thunderous Hell Vine.

His sharp eyes looked at Lei Mingyan Yuteng, who had been slacking off, with some dissatisfaction.

Lei Mingyan Yuteng was too lazy to pay attention to it. How much would it cost per month? To work that hard? Besides, the Venerable God had already said that it was just a token gesture, and that two people would be let in when the time was right.

These two guys were really something, insisting on testing the newcomer's strength. Now look what they've done, they've really angered him.

Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng just wanted to finish this quickly so he could pretend to be dead and go farm the magic network.

Although it was a soul beast created by the Venerable God, it was still recognized by the tribes of the Thunderous Hell Vine Canyon.

He swore an oath before all the Thunderous Yama Vine to serve the great god forever, thus recognizing his ancestor and returning to his lineage.

He even joined the group chat of Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng's loving family.

Unlike the golden-haired lion mastiff and the blue demon bird, which don't even need a family photo when blocking the bridge, this one has a family.

But before that, I should put in a little effort and chop a few more times, lest those two guys report me for slacking off.

It's best to wait until the deity dies before being criticized by it.

As he thought about it, the purple lightning on Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng surged even higher, crackling and popping in the air, and an unpleasant smell flowed into Bai E's nostrils.

The Blue Demon Bird breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that its companion had stopped slacking off. The silver stripes on its back shone again, and the bird suddenly had an ethereal quality. It wasn't like the Golden Lion Mastiff, which was silly and stupid and didn't learn its lesson after being tricked once.

He started by blurring his vision, then used extreme speed and spatial blockade combined with distortion to wear him down, along with the aggressiveness of the Thunderous Hell Vine. Bai E held the Dawnbreaker sword, his golden eyes fixed on the two soul beasts before him. He gently stroked the greatsword with his palm, and the destructive golden light flowed across the blade once more.

The second of the three golden spirit rings beside him began to shine. Bai E had passed the first test of the God of Destruction, proved his concept of destruction to the God of Destruction, and obtained a divinely bestowed spirit ring to complete his breakthrough.

"Soul Devouring Incineration!"

Bai E twisted his body in mid-air, and a huge Qin Chen Greatsword appeared in his hand. The blade of the greatsword tore through the earth, and the brilliant golden light exuded the power of destruction. With the momentum of destroying all things, he slashed towards Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng and Lan Mo Niao.

Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng did not panic. The roaring purple lightning sped up into the sky at an extremely fast speed until it connected with the thunderclouds in the core area.

Purple lightning, like chains, connected the earth and the sky, stirring up the thunderclouds in the core area. A pair of giant hands made of black clouds, carrying endless thunderstorms, rushed towards Soul Devouring Blaze.

Seeing his teammate exert his power, the Blue Demon Bird no longer hesitated. He activated his spatial power, and countless spatial chain blades pierced through the air and attacked Bai E.

The invisible blades on the chain sliced ​​through the air, precisely cutting all objects in its path in half with extremely smooth cuts.

Bai E's indifferent golden eyes revealed a strong sense of divinity, making it hard to associate him with the always cheerful farm boy.

His third soul ring lit up, and the Blazing Sun Divine Wheel appeared behind Bai E's head, radiating dazzling light. His aura began to surge, and his destructive power became even more frenzied.

The temperature of the golden blood flowing on the body of destruction rose, as if Bai E was draped in a fiery cloak.

This is the third soul skill, Eternal Burning. The power of destruction enters a frenzied state, and soul power and mental power surge together. The higher the emotions, the stronger the amplification.

The incoming spatial chain blades dissolved into nothingness under the power of destruction, but the Blue Demon Bird still tried to use spatial power to break through the defense of the light of destruction.

Just like what Su Nuo wanted to do back then, if he didn't find a way to break through the Light of Destruction, then its extreme speed would be useless.

Lei Yun also gripped the blade of the Soul-Devouring Blade tightly, and the two sides began to stalemate. Thunder and golden light intertwined, illuminating half of the mountain range.

In the distance, the battle between Medemos and the golden-haired lion-mastiff was also coming to an end.

The golden lion head used its territorial advantage to suppress the golden-haired lion mastiff, and the two began to fight fiercely in their most proficient areas.

The golden-haired lion-mastiff looked somewhat frustrated, unable to activate its domain and also suffering from the suppression of the opponent's domain, truly absorbing all the negative effects.

"Roar!!!"

It let out a defiant roar; its remaining reason and instinct told it that its chances of survival were slim, and that what followed might be its final blow.

As the ancestral race, the Golden Lion Mastiff is extremely proud. When the continent was annihilating this race, they could have continued to exist if they had been willing to submit to Emperor Tian.

After all, if Xiong Jun can survive, there's no reason why the golden-haired lion mastiff can't.

Di Tian usually makes exceptions for powerful soul beast bloodlines, after all, he is a beast king.

However, the golden-haired lion mastiff is still extinct. Their extreme pride makes them never submit. The one that Huo Yuhao killed back then has been confirmed to be the last natural native species on the continent.

The golden-haired lion-mastiff gathered all its power, its black canine face contorted in a ferocious expression, its muscles bulging, and savage power surged within it. Its soul power began to burn, and it began to increase its power without regard for its body's limits.

"Roar!!!!"

Seeing this, Medemos knew that his opponent was about to deliver the final blow. In battle, the opponent's dying blow is always the most dangerous.

If he were careless, he might be killed outright. As a sign of respect for his opponent and out of caution, Medemos's eyes narrowed and the golden lion head began to roar again.

The surging heat scorched the golden-haired lion mastiff's skin, and the blood was vaporized before it could even flow.

The golden-haired lion mastiff, enduring excruciating pain, roared as it passed through the heatwave, like a surging fireball colliding with the golden lion's head.

Medemos gathered a high-temperature, rapidly vibrating crimson crystal longsword in his hand. Taking advantage of the golden lion being firmly suppressed by the golden lion head, he suddenly exerted force in his arm, and the longsword swiftly and accurately stabbed towards the golden lion's neck.

With its high-speed vibrations and high temperature, this knife can almost ignore most defenses, especially the golden-haired lion mastiff whose defenses are not particularly strong when its field of attack is not deployed.

Death was imminent.

Just before the longsword was about to take the life of the golden-haired lion-mastiff, an eye-shaped inscription flashed on its back, and the entire spirit beast disappeared, returning to the distant cliff face.

Huo Yuhao assigned them the task of protection and testing, but it was just a test, and neither side would face the threat of death.

Even if it wasn't Medemos and his group who came, but someone else who happened to be here, the assessment would still be the same.

　Happy New Year! (°з°)- Love you all, may you all be prosperous in 2026!
