Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

Even the usually reckless Xiong Jun learned to play dumb after experiencing the human world. The difference in cultivation level and racial difference was right in front of him. Before, he was all muscle and didn't understand human relationships. After going to the human world, he finally understood how much the Emperor had let him go.

In terms of race, he was merely a top-tier super soul beast, while Di Tian was a legendary soul beast, on the same level as Titan, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and Golden Lion Mastiff; in terms of cultivation, the difference in soul power over hundreds of thousands of years was beyond doubt. Each year represented a bit of foundation, and the gap of hundreds of thousands of years was terrifying to contemplate.

The difference in skill was so vast. Normally, he and Di Tian could fight to a 60/40 split, and when they were in top form, it could even be a 50/50 split. Xiong Jun wasn't stupid; he just hadn't realized before that his opponent had been holding back. Now that he had finally come to his senses, what more could he say? If he had to say one thing, it would be: "The Beast God is magnanimous; I admire the Beast God."

……

The Clear Sky Sect's Ring Explosion Technique is indeed powerful. It is a move that amplifies itself by borrowing the rules of collapse. Even though the combined age of the collapsed soul rings is less than 10,000 years, it can still fight Golden Crocodile Douluo to a standstill for a short time.

As for the Azure Bull Python, while the boost from burning its dragon bloodline was considerable, it was far less than the power of the exploding rings. If it weren't for fighting alongside Haotian Douluo, it would have been severely injured by Golden Crocodile Douluo and captured by the Spirit Hall long ago.

The enormous crocodile tail swept across, obliterating the dense forest. Ripples spread through the space where the tail passed, colliding violently with the giant tail of the Azure Bull Python.

The earth cracked open, and the terrifying recoil was completely unloaded onto the ground by the golden crocodile transformed from the Golden Crocodile Douluo. It then raised its forelimbs to meet the Haotian Hammer that was falling down once again.

Rumble!

The aftershocks of the collision had become a deadly threat. Some unlucky ordinary soul beasts were hit by the aftershocks, their bodies exploding on the spot, and blood and flesh scattering everywhere.

A beam of azure lightning shot out from the mouth of the Azure Bull Python, several meters thick. The lightning struck the Golden Crocodile Douluo, but failed to cause him any damage.

Tang Hao and the Azure Bull Python had considered taking the opportunity to escape, but as soon as they showed any sign of running away, Golden Crocodile Douluo would turn around and chase after Tang San and the others, which was something they absolutely did not want to see.

The giant hammer slammed down again and again, and the snake tail swept across repeatedly with all its might, but even so, Tang Hao and the Azure Bull Python's counterattacks still seemed weak and powerless against the Golden Crocodile Douluo.

With its snout open, the crocodile's massive body, thousands of feet long, suddenly exploded, leaving four deep paw prints on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Golden Crocodile Douluo rushed to the side of Azure Bull Python, opening his crocodile mouth to its limit before slamming it shut.

Click!

The Azure Bull Python was powerless to resist. The Golden Crocodile Douluo's sharp teeth fell, and fine black spatial cracks spread out. The powerful tearing force ripped off a large piece of flesh from the Azure Bull Python.

The Haotian Hammer fell, slamming hard onto the giant crocodile's back, but only shattered a few scales; otherwise, it caused no damage.

The great battle continued, but the outcome was already predetermined. No matter how powerful the secret techniques were, they were still insufficient to bridge the insurmountable gap in soul power.

The Azure Bull Python and Tang Hao were in dire straits, their injuries worsening, and they were on the verge of complete defeat.

Chapter 526 Severe Injury and Near Death

Amidst the flying blood and flesh, the body of the Azure Bull Python crashed onto the water's surface, staining the clear Lake of Life with a crimson stain.

The golden crocodile tail that Golden Crocodile Douluo had transformed into accumulated immense power collided once again with the giant hammer that Tang Hao had slammed down.

Space was like a piece of paper, powerless against the two's onslaught. Spatial turbulence raged across the battlefield, leaving behind hideous and deep wounds.

Just as it caught its breath, the Azure Bull Python, emerging from the Lake of Life, was met by the Golden Crocodile Douluo's golden crocodile paw covering its entire head. Its five sharp claws suddenly retracted, digging directly into the somewhat ferocious bull's head.

Before he could react, the entire snake body was forcibly pulled out of the Lake of Life by Golden Crocodile Douluo and directly faced Tang Hao's Haotian Hammer.

boom!

The dull thud of flesh colliding with a heavy object was clearly audible. The Azure Bull Python did not possess the inhuman defensive power of the Golden Crocodile Douluo transformed into a giant golden crocodile. Faced with the Haotian Hammer carrying the power of exploding rings, the scales on its snake body were directly shattered, and its flesh was twisted and even crushed under the terrifying power.

Click!

A series of crisp cracking sounds of bones breaking were clearly audible. The Azure Bull Python let out a painful roar and struggled desperately, but the five sharp claws that had dug into its skull seemed to be embedded in it, remaining completely still.

Next, the Azure Bull Python became a shield for Golden Crocodile Douluo. Whenever Tang Hao swung his hammer down, Golden Crocodile Douluo would use it as a whip to meet the Clear Sky Hammer, which contained the power to destroy mountains and shatter peaks. Then, scales would shatter, blood and flesh would splatter, bones would break and even be crushed.

Even though Tang Hao reacted several times and immediately reduced the force of his hammer, damage was still inevitable.

No, I can't keep dragging this on. It seems the one chasing Tang San is a Soul Douluo; I have to go check it out. Tang Hao's brows furrowed as he thought of Salas, the one chasing Tang San, and a wave of irritation washed over him.

He didn't care about Tang San's life or death, but he did care whether Tang San could revive Ah Yin, whom he longed for, after Tang San became a god.

Once the thought was formed, Tang Hao no longer hesitated. His fifth, sixth, and eighth spirit rings exploded simultaneously as he unleashed a powerful strike with all his might.

The Azure Bull Python's tail came at him again, and this time Tang Hao showed no mercy, his eyes filled with indifference.

boom!

Just how terrifying was the Clear Sky Hammer, which was being used at almost full power? The Azure Bull Python's tail couldn't even withstand a single breath before it exploded, sending bone fragments and flying blood splattering down, enveloping the battlefield in a stench of blood.

The Haotian Hammer smashed the tail of the Azure Bull Python directly, its momentum undiminished, and slammed directly towards Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Tang Hao's sudden attack was quite unexpected, but fortunately, Golden Crocodile Douluo was prepared. He released his right claw holding the head of the Azure Bull Python and met the falling giant hammer. The two collided for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

Rumble!

Space shattered layer by layer, and turbulent currents raged across the entire battlefield. Faced with Tang Hao's attack, which was almost all-out, the massive body of Golden Crocodile Douluo retreated for the first time.

Dust billowed as the three giant hands that landed on the ground exerted force, leaving three drag marks tens of meters long and several meters wide. Tang Hao used the powerful recoil to escape the battlefield and chase after Tang San and the others.

"How dare you, Tang Hao, you little brat, you're courting death!" Golden Crocodile Douluo roared angrily, his thousand-foot-long crocodile body suddenly charging forward, each stomp causing the entire earth to tremble.

He swept past the dying Azure Bull Python, his right hand skillfully digging into the bloody hole in the bull's head. While dragging this once mighty 100,000-year-old soul beast, Golden Crocodile Douluo was chasing after the once mighty Haotian Douluo, displaying extreme ferocity.

……

"You little brats, where do you think you're going?" With a chilling laugh, Salas, whose body was pulsating with eight spirit rings, swung his body and appeared in front of Tang San and the others. He released his level 90 quasi-title Douluo spirit power without any restraint, and his pressure descended instantly.

The three of them groaned simultaneously, their bodies involuntarily staggering back a step, their internal organs damaged, and a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of their mouths.

"Spirit Hall, why are you pressing me so hard?" Tang San summoned his spirit, Blue Silver Emperor, and vibrant blue grass leaves appeared in his hand, with golden veins covering the leaves and roots.

"Forced into it?" Upon hearing Tang San's question, Salas suddenly laughed loudly, "It's only natural for Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts, there's no such thing as forcing into it."

Yu Tianheng's martial soul quietly activated, black lightning danced across his body, and an invisible dragon's might spread outwards. He stepped in front of Xiao Wu, saying, "Xiao Wu, don't worry. If they want to hurt you, they'll have to step over my dead body first."

Tang San's expression froze. Why did Yu Tianheng's words seem somewhat familiar? Had he heard them somewhere before?

"How touching. Let me see if your strength is worthy of this sincere sentiment." Salas sneered and immediately activated his seventh spirit ring, revealing his true spirit form.

The air instantly became humid, and Salas's limbs and even torso underwent drastic changes. His limbs elongated, and a deep blue light covered his entire body. In just a few breaths, a monster with many limbs and a shape that looked like an octopus appeared in front of them.

Bang bang bang!

With a casual flick of its long and enormous arms, its body rapidly extended, breaking the sound barrier in an instant, heading straight for Tang San, Yu Tianheng, and Xiao Wu, who was being protected by the two in the center.

"Dragon's Wrath!" Yu Tianheng roared to the sky, and the huge thunder dragon head lunged straight at one of its tentacles. The dark lightning was conducted by the moist air, making it even more powerful.

Tang San's expression turned solemn. His fifth spirit ring suddenly flashed, and a huge, long, and ornate spear materialized in front of him, as if the air in front of him could be pierced.

"Behold my Blue Silver Overlord Spear!" With a sudden lunge forward, Tang San hurled the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, a blue meteor carrying a piercing whistle as it hurtled towards the other tentacle.

Xiao Wu, who was being protected behind her, wanted to help, but her soft skills were no match for the wrists and feet in front of her. It was hard to say whether she could help or just give up.

Pfft!

The sharp blue-silver Overlord Spear came to an abrupt halt, meeting the supple wrist and leg. After penetrating a little, it could not advance any further.

Yu Tianheng's thunder power did have some effect on Salas, but against the difference of dozens of levels of soul power, this attribute advantage was not very effective.

"Let's go together." Yu Tianheng did not back down. His swollen body lunged forward, his body already beginning to transform into a dragon, and his soul power accelerated its circulation.

Tang San didn't speak, but he had already taken back the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand and held the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. As he poured in his soul power, its size rapidly increased.

Tang San's thinking was very clear. If even his Blue Silver Emperor's strongest attack skill couldn't do anything to Salas, then there was no need to continue using the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul. In comparison, the Clear Sky Hammer, which had no spirit rings but was incredibly heavy, might still have a surprise effect.

Slaughter God Domain, open!

White light surged in Tang San's eyes, and a chilling killing intent enveloped the battlefield centered on his body. Both his own and his teammates' abilities were enhanced in every way, while Salas, as the enemy, had all his attributes weakened accordingly.

With his feet treading on ghostly shadows and his cloak dancing wildly in the wind, he began to store and accumulate power, and his ten-foot-long Haotian Hammer met Salas's wrist.

Bang bang bang bang!

The sound of collisions echoed through the forest, and the number of tentacles involved in the battle continued to increase. However, Tang San and Yu Tianheng were like a ball and a hedgehog, respectively, and managed to defend against them completely.

Salas, a dignified quasi-titled Douluo, was dragged out for so long by a Soul Emperor and a Soul King. His expression was also somewhat ugly: "You forced me to do this. I originally only wanted to use my Martial Soul True Body. Now it seems that I was too arrogant and underestimated you."

As Salas finished speaking, the first and second soul rings that hovered around his martial soul true form, the deep-sea monster, flashed simultaneously, and the soul skill effect was applied to his wrists and feet, causing their internal structure to change rapidly.

His first soul skill made his wrists and feet more flexible, allowing him to accumulate more power; his second soul skill increased the load-bearing capacity of his wrists and feet, enabling him to perfectly unleash the accumulated energy.

Bang bang bang bang!

Another series of explosions followed. Tang San and Yu Tianheng's skills were once again superb, and no matter how rich their combat experience was, they could not stop Salas's pure numerical crushing.

The brute force smashed through Tang San's impenetrable Clear Sky Hammer Shadow, and the tentacles struck his chest directly. With a series of crisp sounds, a large chunk of Tang San's chest caved in. If it weren't for the extremely powerful life force bestowed upon him by the Blue Silver Emperor, he would probably have died on the spot.

Even with the Blue Silver Emperor's abundant life force sustaining him, Tang San's body flew backward like a tattered sack. If Xiao Wu hadn't caught him at the crucial moment, he probably would have breathed his last when he landed on the ground.

Tang San's injuries were relatively minor, as he was somewhat slowed down by the Clear Sky Hammer. However, Yu Tianheng was far more unlucky, as a huge bloody hole was pierced through his chest. He was then thrown to Xiao Wu's side by Salas, and his life force rapidly drained away through the hole, leaving him barely breathing.

"Brother Yu!" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, looking at the bloody holes that pierced through her from front to back. She was at a loss. Things had happened too fast. Before she could react, Tang San and Yu Tianheng, who had been evenly matched with Salas, were about to die.

"Little rabbit, become my spirit ring." Salas grinned menacingly, and his tentacles shot out again with a piercing whistle, heading straight for Xiao Wu's head. Salas had clearly decided to finish Xiao Wu off on the spot.

"No!" Tang San and Yu Tianheng cried out at the same time, but one of them reacted while the other did not. The one who reacted was Yu Tianheng, whose injuries were more serious.

His soul power ran rampant through his meridians without restraint, and he didn't care even if the meridians collapsed wherever he passed.

Feeling his strength rapidly fading from his body, Yu Tianheng revealed a relieved smile: "Xiao Wu, let me protect you one last time."

Chapter 527 Xiao Wu's Sacrifice!

As if in a final burst of energy, an unusual flush suddenly appeared on Yu Tianheng's face. His soul power pierced through layers of meridians and suddenly gathered in his right palm before he slammed it down.

boom!

Dust billowed up, and Yu Tianheng's body was suddenly thrown into the air by the recoil. However, due to the complete shattering of his sternum and corresponding spine, even after a brief moment of suspension, Yu Tianheng remained in a semi-paralyzed position.

From childhood to adolescence, scenes from the past echoed in Yu Tianheng's mind, finally settling on the charming and lively girl in Notting Academy, and the beautiful figure who had given him his first kiss a few days ago.

As consciousness returned to reality, the wrist that had broken the sound barrier gradually slowed down in Yu Tianheng's eyes, and he also grasped its final landing point.

Although the body was partially paralyzed, it was enough—a brief moment of suspension, the two arms crossed with all their might, the point of intersection being at the lower abdomen, the next moment, the wrists and feet arrived.

Pfft!

The speed of the tentacles was so fast that, apart from the sound of them disappearing into flesh, all other sounds vanished completely.

Yu Tianheng's arms were pierced through, but his wrists and feet continued their momentum, passing directly through his dantian and exiting from his back, heading straight for Xiao Wu.

If it were anyone else, even if they were saved from such a severe injury, they would never be able to continue cultivating. But what about Yu Tianheng? He was already a dying man, so whether his dantian was destroyed or not was no longer important.

Boom boom boom!

A distant rumbling could be faintly heard, and the tentacles before her could take her life at any moment. At this moment, Xiao Wu thought about many, many things!

hum!

The crimson light spread outwards from Xiao Wu, completely repelling the wrists and feet that were only inches away from her forehead, and enveloping Tang San and Yu Tianheng entirely.

"This is a sacrifice!" Salas's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. He thought he had been decisive enough and even planned to kill Xiao Wu on the spot. The 100,000-year soul ring was within his grasp, but the situation he least wanted to see still happened.
