Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 412 Multi-Party Actions

At the same time, a yellow light illuminated half of the night sky. The figure of Taotie Douluo Xuanlao appeared, faintly echoing his true form, Douluo Du Busi, restraining Long Xiaoyao as he rose into the air.

Behind Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal, there were more than twenty Title Douluo powerhouses who followed them into the sky.

Even a powerhouse like Long Xiaoyao was slightly surprised by this scene.

In terms of the number of Title Douluos, his side only has half the number of the other side.

Moreover, Long Xiaoyao knew very well that with the foundation of the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, nearly half of these Title Douluos were probably Super Douluos.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to assassinate Xu Tianran knowing he was in the Mingdu Imperial Palace.

"Xuanzi, it's been a long time." Long Xiaoyao looked at Elder Xuan opposite him, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Xuanzi's expression was complicated. "Although I had expected it, I didn't expect it to actually be you."

Long Xiaoyao sighed and said, "Yes! To be old and not die is to be a thief. Mu En is gone, but I am still alive! I am still alive! Hahahaha!"

"Xuanzi, now is not the time for reminiscing. There's no need to be polite with the old black dragon. He's a step above us in seniority. Let's go side by side."

Poison Undying laughed heartily, and just as he ascended into the sky, he flashed out. In a flash, he transformed into a green giant over a hundred meters tall and pounced on Long Xiaoyao.

The giant's massive body was covered in bulging muscles, as if it came from ancient times.

Xuan Lao hesitated for a moment, then transformed into his Taotie Divine Ox form and joined forces with Du Busi to attack Long Xiaoyao.

The Taotie Divine Ox, equally enormous, possessed spiral horns, a head like a dragon, and a body as robust as an ox. Beneath its feet lay clouds composed of yellow halos, their powerful texture seemingly transforming the sky into the earth.

Both of them are among the strongest in the world, both being level 98 Super Douluo. However, they seem to be only one level away from the level 99 Limit Douluo. But they are very clear about what this gap means. In a one-on-one fight, they would have no chance against Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.

But the combined strength of the two is different. Both are top experts of the era. Even with Long Xiaoyao's strength, he might not be able to defeat them in a two-on-one fight. This is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Rather, it is the mutual enhancement of their experience and strength accumulated over a hundred years of cultivation.

Moreover, Du Bu Si's combat strength is not much worse than that of an ordinary Limit Douluo.

The other Title Douluos didn't make a move, but instead retreated to watch this super duel from afar. For them, this was a rare opportunity. Observing a battle of this caliber was extremely beneficial for powerhouses of their level. If they could glean any insights from it, it would greatly boost their future advancement. It's important to understand that after becoming a Title Douluo, advancing another level is extremely difficult, especially for those Title Douluos stuck at the threshold of Super Douluo.

Facing the arrival of two powerful figures, Long Xiaoyao remained fearless. He raised his hands in mid-air and struck out with each of them, one towards Du Busi and the other towards Elder Xuan.

A deep dragon roar, like rolling thunder, echoed in the air. In the eyes of Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal, it seemed as if a black dragon was turning over and showing its claws to them.

The two black palm shadows swelled in the air against the wind, quickly transforming into giant palms that were hundreds of meters high, as majestic as mountains.

"Hey!" Poison Undying shouted, his whole body surging with green light. The hundred-meter giant raised his palm and blocked the black palm shadow.

"Bang!" The deep rumble caused the Mingdu Imperial Palace below to tremble. Du Busi's body also trembled slightly, but his two dark green giant hands had already plunged into the black palm shadow, tearing it apart right in front of him.

On the other side, Elder Xuan's response was much more forceful. Two spiraling horns emerged from above the head of the Taotie Divine Bull, and it charged upwards.

"Boom!"

The black palm shadow dissipated, and Elder Xuan was sent flying more than ten meters away, while Long Xiaoyao in the distance also swayed slightly on his shoulders.

In a one-on-two situation, Dragon Emperor Douluo still held the upper hand and did not activate his Martial Soul True Body like Du Busi and Xuanzi.

This is the difference between a Limit Douluo and a Super Douluo. Xuanzi and Du Busi would have virtually no chance of winning against Long Xiaoyao alone.

……

"Boom!" A rumbling sound like muffled thunder came from the sky, and there were flashes of light and shadow in the air.

Ji Lin stood on the balcony of the Mingyue Hotel villa, watching the commotion in the direction of the palace, his eyes calm and unwavering.

After reaching an agreement with Jing Hongchen, he returned to the top-floor villa of the Mingyue Hotel, where he awaited the great battle. Watching the battle between the Limit Douluos would also benefit him, but he would not approach rashly. Instead, he would use his mental detection to observe the battle from a distance.

Furthermore, the Mingyue Hotel is not far from the Mingdu Imperial Palace.

Gu Yuena swirled the red wine in her glass, gazing into the distance with interest. She was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle of the evening; all of them were powerful humans, and it would be best if they were all dead.

Seeing Gu Yuena's gloating expression, Ji Lin shook his head. For soul beasts, the more human powerhouses die, the greater the benefit to them. Although the existence of Saint Marks has replaced soul beasts, too many human powerhouses are not a good thing for them.

Wang Qiu'er stood beside Ji Lin and said softly, "Shouldn't we get involved?"

Ji Lin shook his head and remained silent. For now, doing nothing was the best option. As for joining Shrek Academy to plunder, after cooperating with Jing Hongchen, Ji Lin no longer cared about those things.

Meanwhile, on another street, Zhang Lexuan, along with Beibei and the others, also began their operation.

Shrek Academy's participation wasn't to assassinate Xu Tianran, but rather to provide cover for Zhang Lexuan and the others' actions; they were there to steal something along the way.

Zhang Lexuan glanced into the distance, where thunder rumbled in the sky. She knew it was time to act. "Hurry up, let's make the most of the time. Almost all the powerful figures have gathered on both sides. It seems that the Sun Moon Empire was indeed prepared for this surprise attack on the palace. If I'm not mistaken, the ninth-level Soul Master guarding this place has also been transferred there. How much we can take advantage of this situation depends on these half an hour."

"Okay," Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi replied.

The place they arrived at was one of the Sun Moon Empire's arms depots, which Elder Xuan and his group had discovered.

At this moment, the rumbling sound like rolling thunder in the distant sky grew louder and louder, and various lights of dark green, black, and yellow continuously burst forth in the sky.

Although the battlefield was high in the sky, its grandeur could still be felt from such a distance.

A hint of regret flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes. If it weren't for the importance of what was happening here, she would have liked to go and watch the battle.

Being able to observe the battles of the world's strongest warriors would also benefit her cultivation.

……

"Boom!" The sky was filled with such a violent roar, which was probably the umpteenth time this had happened.

Above the Sun and Moon Palace, two thousand meters above the ground, a fierce battle continued.

A huge black dragon occupied half of the space, its wide wings spread out as if to block out the sun.

This black dragon was over a hundred meters long, its entire body covered in thick scales, and its pale golden eyes were filled with regal majesty. Every movement of its massive body caused large swathes of space around it to distort, but these distortions did not radiate outwards; instead, they neutralized the aftershocks of the impact.

Opposite this enormous black dragon stood a giant with a body entirely of dark green, and behind him, a huge dark green vortex was constantly spinning, within which golden light could be faintly seen flashing.

Not far from this dark green giant, a gluttonous divine bull stood on a cloud.

Without a doubt, the black dragon was the illusion of Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao. Faced with the siege of two powerful figures, Long Xiaoyao had no choice but to use his Martial Soul True Body.

The three powerful figures had been battling high in the sky for quite some time. Indeed, in a one-on-one situation, neither Elder Xuan nor Poisonous Immortal was a match for Long Xiaoyao. However, with their century of combat experience, the two powerful figures, working together, were not at a disadvantage. After several fierce exchanges with Long Xiaoyao, a fanatical glint began to appear in their eyes.

In this world, both Elder Xuan and Poison Immortal's cultivation levels are extremely close to their peak. They have been level 98 titled Douluo for many years, but they are unable to break through to the Limit Douluo level.

Although Elder Xuan had always received guidance from Elder Mu, Elder Mu's health had been poor since his injury, making it impossible for him to spar with him at full strength. As for Poison Undying, he was already the strongest expert in the Body Sect.

At this moment, the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao they were facing was one of the very few Limit Douluo on the continent. His peak strength of level ninety-nine was no weaker than Elder Mu's. In the midst of the battle, under the immense pressure of the Dragon Emperor Douluo, both Elder Xuan and Poisonous Immortal felt a sense of exhilaration. It was in this feeling that they vaguely sensed that they were getting closer to that threshold.

Long Xiaoyao also sensed the changes in them. In fact, with Long Xiaoyao's strength, if he went all out, even if he couldn't kill the two in front of him, it wouldn't be a problem to seriously injure and repel them. The difference between Limit Douluo and Level 98 Super Douluo is huge.

However, Long Xiaoyao had his own concerns. He was unwilling to serve the Holy Spirit Cult. How many years had he been famous? He could be said to be the most senior Soul Master in the world. He was not a willing evil Soul Master; he simply had his own unavoidable difficulties.

He and Dragon God Douluo Mu En were best friends back then. Although they later became rivals in love, their friendship still exists.
