Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 572 Xu Yuan vs. Long Haochen

Long Haochen finally summoned the Throne of Eternity and Creation, and Xu Yuan also entered a form he had never seen before.

The form of the Three Lives Spirit Furnace is another trump card that Xu Yuan developed a month ago.

If the myriad realms constructed with spiritual apertures were merely a replication of Xu Yuan's previous mecha realms, then this Three Lives Spiritual Furnace form represents Xu Yuan's exploration of the power of absolute power.

Xu Yuan perfectly utilized all the power that the Hunyuan Spear now possessed, transforming it into weapons and armor based on the Holy Demon Continent system.

This can actually be seen as Xu Yuan recreating his past power.

However, with his current power, the battle armor he replicated is even stronger than Xu Yuan's real battle armor from Douluo Star.

Jue's current power has completely surpassed that of Xu Yuan in the past.

With the quality of a divine artifact, coupled with the essence and spirit inherited from Xu Yuan, the power of Jue has been perfectly unleashed.

In Xu Yuan's hands, the power of Jue was perfectly unleashed, even reaching 120% of its full potential.

The two stood facing each other in mid-air.

Long Haochen held the Eternal and Creative Sword, which radiated nine-colored light, with a solemn expression.

Xu Yuan's strength far exceeded his expectations.

He hadn't expected Xu Zhi's son to be so strong.

In fact, given Xu Zhi's talent, Long Haochen had already made an estimate of Xu Yuan's strength.

However, in Long Haochen's mind, Xu Zhi was just a genius, not a strongman who had accumulated decades of experience.

No matter how extraordinary his son was, in Long Haochen's subconscious perception, he was still a junior. Even if he inherited Xu Zhi's talent, his strength couldn't be too outrageous.

However, it was precisely because of this preconceived notion that his prediction of Xu Yuan was far off.

In fact, Xu Yuan is five years older than Xu Zhi in this life.

If this logic holds true, Long Haochen wouldn't have underestimated Xu Yuan. Given the current situation, if Xu Zhi continues to accumulate experience for another five years, he truly has a chance to reach Xu Yuan's current level.

"Cross Slash!"

Long Haochen instantly unleashed two sword energies from his giant sword, which intersected with each other, one horizontal and one vertical, forming a cross.

Cross Slash, the knight's signature skill, is something that a third-tier knight might already possess.

However, in Long Haochen's hands, the power of the Cross Slash cannot be evaluated by the standards of a basic skill.

After the decisive battle at Zhenmo Pass, and with the accumulation of the past six months, Long Haochen has reorganized his abilities, and every skill has reached the limit of what he can achieve at this moment.

Xu Yuan held the Hunyuan Spear and lightly slashed it in front of him.

A beam of light appeared.

Like a deep black hole forming the shape of a spear, it tore a crack in space.

The cross slash was swallowed up by the spatial rift.

He swung his gun again.

Like a vortex from a black hole, it coalesced into a crescent-shaped spear beam.

The spear's edge swept across.

The Eternal and Creative Sword in Long Haochen's hand emitted endless blades, which transformed into long rivers that swirled in mid-air, bypassing the crescent-shaped spear light and forming a storm of blades that swept directly toward Xu Yuan.

The Armor of Eternity and Creation released a dense power of light elements, which condensed into a shield. Within the God of Light Domain surrounding Long Haochen's body, seemingly endless power of light elements also emanated, merging into the light shield released by the Armor of Eternity and Creation.

No, to be precise, it's no longer the Realm of the God of Light.

At the same time as the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation appeared, a domain was also released from within the Throne of the God of Eternity, which was the Eternal Domain that came with the Throne.

The Eternal Realm and the Realm of the God of Light merged to form the Eternal Light Realm.

The Eternal Light Domain is only on par with Xu Yuan's Myriad Things Domain.

The crescent-shaped spear beam, resembling a black hole, struck the light shield, causing the space to tremble upon impact.

A crack immediately appeared on the light shield.

The cracks spread rapidly, and expanded quickly along with spatial turbulence.

The vortex, resembling a black hole, seemed to merge with the surrounding space, releasing a devouring power that absorbed the power of light elements.

Long Haochen was shocked to sense the light elemental power being devoured within the Eternal Light Domain.

"What an exquisite move."

In addition to its powerful attack, it also has a follow-up effect: the power of the vortex can merge with space.

This person's use of power reminded Long Haochen of Xu Zhi.

They truly are father and son.

The sword storm unleashed by Long Haochen also enveloped Xu Yuan at this moment.

The armor formed from the Starry Spirit Furnace on Xu Yuan's body emitted dazzling points of light, which resonated with each spiritual aperture, transforming all the power within the entire Realm of All Things into the power of stars.

Where the sword storm was located, starlight appeared and rapidly expanded.

Each point of light resembled a tiny vortex, which swallowed the sword blade and then continued to grow larger.

In the blink of an eye, the storm of swords was completely swallowed up.

Long Haochen's pupils contracted.

This devouring power is simply outrageous.

It wasn't just the absurdity of the devouring power, but also the terrifying extent of Xu Yuan's development of the devouring attribute.

"Is this the change after the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace was integrated into the Hunyuan Spear?" Xu Zhi watched from the side, shocked.

Perhaps the evolution of the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace cannot reach this level, but it definitely provides Xu Yuan with an excellent opportunity to develop his Devouring Attribute.

These vortexes are the best example of this.

Aren't those swirling black holes the power of the Yuan Vortex Spirit Furnace?

Long Haochen took a deep breath, and his whole body transformed into a ball of light.

At that moment, he seemed to be the embodiment of light.

The Eternal Light Domain continuously provided him with the power of light elements, replenishing his energy reserves.

"Lightsaber Slash!"

"Punishment Strike!"

"Light of Judgment!"

He unleashed one skill after another.

Finally, his gaze flickered.

"Sure enough, these vortexes have a limit to the amount of power they can absorb. Once they reach that limit, they can no longer devour anything," Long Haochen said.

Of all the skills he unleashed, the final beam of judgment fell upon Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan held the gun, and as the black and white forces shifted, the power of the five elements emerged, shattering the light of judgment.

"Blade Storm!"

Long Haochen unleashed an endless barrage of sword blades once more, engulfing Xu Yuan in a storm of blades.

Xu Yuan smiled.

Around him, vortexes collided with the blades.

Boom boom boom!

The storm of blades dissipated.

Long Haochen's pupils contracted.

this.

He gave a wry smile.

Simply outrageous.

Such defensive capabilities are already invincible.

The starlight vortex absorbs power, and even when it absorbs to its limit, it can release all its power to resist subsequent damage.

Unless the damage is increased to more than twice the power that the starlight can absorb in one go, the remaining power will still damage Xu Yuan even after its maximum limit has been reduced by two times.

Otherwise, no skill with a wide range would be effective against Xu Yuan.

"The only way to harm him is through close-quarters combat."

Long Haochen took a deep breath.

The power of the light element dissipated, then quickly condensed, forming not far from Xu Yuan.

He did not continue to unleash wide-range skills.

If the starlight vortex that has absorbed power can actively unleash damage, then he must do his best to prevent Xu Yuan's starlight from being fully charged.

Otherwise, while engaging Xu Yuan in close combat, one must also guard against the damage from the surrounding starlight vortexes.

The Eternal Sword and the Sword of Creation in Long Haochen's hand transformed into one of the two lightweight swords, and then the power of light element condensed in his left hand.

The King's Sword, combined with the power of the Eternal Light Domain, has coalesced to form the new Eternal King's Sword.

With two swords in hand, Long Haochen began to spin.

The Hunyuan Spear thrust out.

when!

The Dou Sha Xuan Yuan Sword was not released.

Long Haochen was surprised again.

Caught off guard, he was stabbed by Xu Yuan's second shot.

His body of light was pierced, and then a burst of white light exploded, damaging most of his body.

His body turned into light and dissipated, only to reappear in the distance.

Watching from afar, Cai'er couldn't help but feel anxious.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Xu Yuan is too difficult to deal with.

Just by watching from the sidelines, Cai'er could tell that Xu Yuan was a tough opponent.

Those abilities are not only difficult to deal with in themselves, but they also seem to have methods to target Long Haochen.

"Sacred Spirit Furnace!"

Although the familiar power felt somewhat unfamiliar, Long Haochen still followed his intuition and made a judgment about the power of the Dou Sha Xuan Yuan Sword that had just interrupted him.

The Holy Spirit Furnace's ability is to restrict enemies to attacking only the user.

However, what Xu Yuan just did was not just to make Long Haochen lock his target onto him.

Long Haochen's movements were all influenced.

Recalling the image of the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace that had undergone four evolutions in the Three Lives Spirit Furnace just now, Long Haochen also knew the answer.

The two had only exchanged a few blows, yet they had already thoroughly analyzed each other's abilities.

However, Long Haochen had no way to deal with Xu Yuan.

Despite having a wealth of combat experience, Long Haochen still had no countermeasures at this moment.

However, the battle was not over, and Long Haochen had to continue fighting.

He drew his twin swords and closed in again.

Once again interrupted by the Dou Sha Xuan Yuan Sword, he confirmed the effect of Xu Yuan's Sheng Yin Ling Furnace.

On the third attempt, he finally spun around and unleashed his second sword strike.

The power of the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace connected his Eternal King Sword with Xu Yuan's Sword, allowing him to unleash a second strike that was even faster than the Fighting Whirlwind Sword he had used in previous battles.

In that instant, Long Haochen felt a sense of clarity.

This peculiar feeling was like an epiphany.

Perhaps, he could explore the application of the Holy Guiding Furnace in the future.

However, before he could think further, his third sword strike was interrupted.

As the second sword, the Eternal King's Sword, the third sword is naturally the Eternal and Creation Sword.

The Sword of Eternity and Creation, however, lacks the power of divine guidance.

Even though he had used the power of the Holy Guidance, he still couldn't achieve the same effect as before.

Long Haochen is exhausted.

He continued to unleash one knight skill after another.

Xu Yuan solved them one by one.

"Xu Zhi".

Xu Zhi, who was watching the game, was interrupted by Cai'er's voice.

He looked at Cai'er with a relieved smile.

Xu Yuan's performance in the battle satisfied him.

"You're curious why Xu Yuan, whose strength isn't particularly high and is even much weaker than Hao Chen's, is still able to remain undefeated, right?"

Cai'er nodded.

She and Long Haochen were a bit older than Xu Zhi, but in their past interactions, Xu Zhi always acted like a teacher, explaining many principles and common sense about combat to them. So when she had a question, she immediately went to Xu Zhi to ask him.

"This is the understanding of power," Xu Zhi said. "Using it flexibly means not only refining all the skills you have mastered to their maximum power, but also making a first-tier skill achieve the effect of a ninth-tier skill."

Xu Zhi shook his head, looking at Xu Yuan in mid-air.

"The strongest ability that Xiaoyuan has shown so far is the power of devouring, and his application of the power of devouring has been integrated into every aspect of his life."

"You see, he can release the power of devouring at any time; that's true flexibility."

Cai'er frowned, still unable to understand.

With skills that can be freely interspersed, has Hao Chen not yet achieved that?

"You still don't understand." Xu Zhi shook his head.

He sighed.

No further explanation was given.

It is very difficult for practitioners of different types to communicate with each other.

Just like Xu Yuan's battles, they always seem so effortless, as if he doesn't exert any effort at all.

This is the wisdom of a person.

Having grasped the essence of power, one can always utilize their strength in the most crucial positions when facing enemies.

The enemy is fighting, while he is solving the problem.

A reckless person like Long Haochen is incomprehensible, let alone someone you can learn from.

The battle between Long Haochen and Xu Yuan continues.

Since he couldn't use the Dou Sha Xuan Yuan Sword, Long Haochen stopped insisting.

The two men, one wielding two swords and the other a spear, engaged in close combat.

It seemed to transform into the most primal close-quarters combat.

However, every clash between sword and spear caused space to tremble and the laws of heaven and earth to fluctuate.

"Your strength is still somewhat lacking, but with the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation, it won't be difficult for you to become a god," Xu Yuan said calmly.

He shot Long Haochen one last time.

"You can't beat me."

The indifferent tone made Long Haochen feel frustrated.

Despite having the superior strength, he seemed to be restrained and toyed with at will by his opponent.

"My father will still stay here. After he becomes a god, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him. If you encounter any difficulties in handling things here, you can have my father contact me."

As Xu Yuan spoke, the Hunyuan Spear in his hand disappeared, the surrounding Myriad Realms dissipated, and all his spiritual apertures were hidden within his body.

The star armor on his body dissipated, and the surrounding starlight disappeared.

As Long Haochen frowned, Xu Yuan offered a wry smile and an explanation.

"Your strength is still greater than mine; my body can't take it anymore."

Ultimately, it is just a temporary body constructed with consciousness as its core.

There is a limit to the amount of force a temporary body can withstand.

The series of collisions had finally pushed his body to its limit.

As he finished speaking, his body gradually disintegrated.

One by one, the spiritual apertures were also collapsing.

His body became ethereal.

This scene made Long Haochen's eyes widen.

What, what's going on here?

In the middle of the game, even though you're at a disadvantage, your opponent collapses?
