Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 244 Battle of Domains

"A divine-level martial soul!"

Tang Chen's expression changed slightly. His old rival Qian Daoliu and his old flame Bo Saixi both possessed god-level martial souls, and he had a deep understanding of god-level martial souls.

The oppressive aura emanating from the young man's martial soul caused his Clear Sky Hammer to tremble slightly. This was something that neither Qian Daoliu nor Poseidon could achieve back then. In terms of martial soul quality alone, this young man was probably the best in the world.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. Young man, your martial spirit is indeed terrifyingly powerful; no wonder you have the confidence to come and kill me. If you had already broken through to the Title Douluo level, I think not only me, but even Qian Daoliu in the Angel Temple and Poseidon in the Sea God Temple would be no match for you!"

Tang Chen said with regret, "What a pity. You're still just a Soul Douluo. If Hao'er hadn't died, perhaps I would have given you a chance to grow. But now, I will kill you!"

Tang Chen glanced at Saga and Shaka beside Xiao Yu and said with a touch of arrogance, "Let your two subordinates come at me too. You alone are no match for me!"

"No need."

Xiao Yu sneered, "I'm more than enough to deal with you. If you have those two, I'm afraid you won't last a second!"

Tang Chen is just a demigod, while Saga and Shaka are already powerhouses who have broken through the level 100 mark. Letting him live for even a second longer would be an insult to their strength!

However, Tang Chen didn't think that way. In his eyes, having completed the Eight Trials of Asura and broken through to become a demigod, his cultivation was undoubtedly the best in the world. Xiao Yu's words sounded so harsh to him.

"You brat, how dare you insult me! You're asking for death!"

Tang Chen roared and slammed his hammer down on Xiao Yu. A strong killing intent suddenly erupted from the hammer, and a terrifying sense of oppression swept over him. If it were an ordinary Soul Douluo, he would probably have been unable to stand up by now.

However, Xiao Yu was no ordinary Soul Douluo. His powerful divine-level martial soul gave him combat strength that surpassed that of ordinary Title Douluos at the Soul Saint stage. Now, he was only a few steps away from becoming a Title Douluo. The immense killing intent released by Tang Chen only stirred a corner of his clothes.

With a flash of sword light, Xiao Yu's Hades Sword slashed out with a thunderous roar, colliding heavily with Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer.

clang!

With a deafening roar, Xiao Yu and Tang Chen each staggered back several steps. Xiao Yu felt a churning sensation in his chest, a feeling he had never experienced in his past battles.

The power of a demigod is indeed terrifying!

Tang Chen was also in bad shape; his right hand was numb from the shock, and a look of horror flashed in his dark pupils.

He then realized that he had underestimated Xiao Yu's strength. Even though Xiao Yu was only a Soul Douluo at the moment, he already had the strength to contend with him. Perhaps when Xiao Yu broke through to the Title Douluo level, even if he, Qian Daoliu, and Poseidon, the three older generation Limit Douluos, were tied together, they would not be his match.

Tang Chen's killing intent grew stronger. From the moment they met, Xiao Yu made no attempt to hide his disgust for the Haotian Sect. Such a dangerous individual could not be allowed to live, otherwise the Haotian Sect would surely perish and be wiped out.

Tang Chen was well aware of his physical condition; he wouldn't last many more years. Let him do something for the Haotian Sect in the final moments of his life.

In an instant, a dense crimson light erupted from Tang Chen's body, surging towards Xiao Yu like a tidal wave.

"Divine power!"

Saga and Shaka, who were watching the battle, blurted out almost simultaneously that they were both powerhouses who had broken through the level 100 mark and could clearly sense the level 100 divine power that filled the blood light released by Tang Chen.

Indeed, Tang Chen, having passed the eight trials of the Asura God, is now qualified to invoke the power of the Asura God. His domain is neither the Killing God Domain nor the Slaughter Domain, but the Asura God Domain!

The Asura God Domain is the most domineering domain in the world, or it should be called a God Domain skill. Any enemy who is in the Asura God Domain cannot use their Soul Rings or Soul Bone skills. At the same time, the Asura God Domain increases all of its own attributes by 100%, while reducing the enemy's attributes by 50%. The Asura God Power that is omnipresent in the Asura God Domain will also erode the opponent's sanity invisibly. Soul Masters with slightly weaker mental strength do not even need to take action, as they will go mad and die in the domain.

Xiao Yu was naturally not foolish enough to enter the other party's territory and deliver himself to his death; a sudden burst of dark, intense light emanated from his body.

The Underworld and the Asura Realm clashed violently, vying for control of the space.

To Tang Chen's utter surprise, during the clash between the two domains, his Asura God Domain was completely at a disadvantage.

"How is that possible?"

Tang Chen's face was filled with disbelief; that was the divine power of the Asura God!

Tang Chen quickly realized what was happening and offered what he considered the most reasonable explanation: "Only divine power can counter divine power. It seems you are also a successor who has undergone the divine test!"

Xiao Yu did not deny it, and in a sense, Tang Chen was not wrong either. However, this god is not that god. The power of Hades and the power of Asura are not on the same level at all. This is because Xiao Yu's martial soul has not been fully awakened yet, and the power of Hades in his domain is very limited. Otherwise, the two domains would have formed an overwhelming situation when they collided.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Form!"

After releasing their domains, Xiao Yu and Tang Chen activated their Martial Soul True Forms almost simultaneously, their figures flashing as they pounced straight at each other.

Tang Chen's arm muscles bulged like small mountains as he wielded the Haotian Hammer, unleashing his signature move—the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian.

Although he possessed the Shura Demon Sword, a divine artifact, he still found his own martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, to be more comfortable and effective.

During the battle between Shura and Tang Hao in Soto City, Xiao Yu had witnessed Tang Hao using the Haotian Nine Absolutes. Now, having personally experienced Tang Chen's Haotian Nine Absolutes, he realized that the difference between the grandfather and grandson was not small.

Tang Chen's Nine-Character Technique has its own unique way of exerting force, and it changes according to different situations. Tang Hao, on the other hand, is just imitating the former, copying it mechanically, and has the form but no spirit.

"Interesting! This is the true Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian! Tang Chen, that old bastard Tang Hao is far inferior to you!"

Amidst the loud laughter, Xiao Yu's sword moves were numerous, and the sword energy surged like a rushing river, the sword light dazzling and bright, like flames piercing through the atmosphere.

Clang clang clang clang!

The Hades Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer clashed fiercely, each collision producing sparks and thunderous roars. The immense recoil relentlessly assaulted Xiao Yu's body, yet this did not deter him. Instead, it unleashed an even more astonishing power in the next moment. A powerful surge of soul energy emanated from the two of them, sweeping outwards like a whirlwind.
