Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 245 The End of an Old Era

As the battle intensified, Xiao Yu's swordsmanship also broke through in the battle. His sword moves changed in an instant, his sword energy was sharp and unstoppable, his sword light shone as brilliantly as a gemstone, and his sword energy was like a vast river that crisscrossed.

Facing the increasingly formidable Xiao Yu, Tang Chen dared not be careless. He focused all his attention and unleashed the full power of Haotian Jiu without holding back.

The key to emptiness: Embrace all things, let your voice resonate in an empty valley.

The "Sealing" Technique: Contain like a drawn bow, sealing and solidifying force.

The "connection" technique: a continuous flow of energy, with overlapping attacks.

The key to understanding lies in combining movement and stillness to penetrate the whole picture from a single point.

The key to winding: winding silk with twisting force, curves and straight lines complement each other.

The "Zhen" principle: Use the opponent's force against them, and use dynamic vibration to buffer the impact.

The key to breaking through: With a combined force and powerful strikes, one can break through with swiftness.

The key to understanding this technique: Be carefree and unrestrained, and your presence will vanish in an instant.

The "Collapse" Technique: Meteor radiation, mountains collapse before you.

boom! boom! boom!

The sword and hammer clashed, and each collision was more intense than the last. The power erupting from Xiao Yu's body grew stronger and stronger, and his aura became even more astonishing. Xiao Yu felt that he had finally touched the barrier he had been searching for.

"You little brat, you're using me as a litmus test to help you break through to the Title Douluo level!"

Tang Chen finally realized Xiao Yu's intention. With a roar, all eight of his spirit rings except for the seventh spirit ring that maintained his martial soul true body suddenly exploded at the same moment. The enormous energy contained in the spirit rings instantly surged into Tang Chen's body, and the aura emanating from him was even more terrifying than before.

At this moment, Tang Chen was no longer a demigod, but had stepped into the realm of a quasi-god, only one step away from the level 100 he had been painstakingly pursuing.

It was at this moment that he finally used that super artifact—the Asura Demon Sword.

The nine techniques of emptiness, sealing, penetration, piercing, entangling, shocking, breaking, striking, and collapsing are combined into one, and a powerful force is applied to the demonic sword.

"Boy, I'll show you the power of a divine artifact that surpasses all things in the world!"

With a roar, Tang Chen swung his demonic sword and slashed down with a thunderous crash.

"Come on, I've been looking forward to this moment too!"

The Hades Sword in Xiao Yu's hand erupted with an unprecedented sword intent, and the eight soul rings on his body lit up at the same time. It was the Fusion Ring skill that he had learned from Huo Wu.

As the surging soul power entered his body, Xiao Yu's aura also rose to an unprecedented level in that instant. He swung his strongest sword against the falling Asura Demon Sword.

That sword strike was like a thousand peaks collapsing, like a storm raging, its power vast and magnificent. The sword light, like a beautiful meteor, pierced the sky, scattering countless fragments of starlight. The sword energy, like a surging river, rushed and roared, carrying with it boundless passion and anguish. Its power was irresistible, like a mountain pressing down, stirring the heart and shaking the soul.

That sword strike, imbued with poetic beauty, created a series of breathtaking and magnificent scenes.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the Asura Demon Sword and the Underworld Sword collided head-on. The black aura of death emanating from the Underworld Sword and the killing light attached to the Asura Demon Sword intertwined violently.

In an instant, the entire Killing City experienced the most terrifying tremor. Countless skyscrapers were melted by the energy of the collision, leaving not even a speck of debris behind. The Fallen screamed and scattered in all directions, all with the same thought in their minds.

Is the end of the Killing City about to come?

The deafening roar lasted for ten minutes. Xiao Yu and Tang Chen both exerted their full strength, not giving an inch, and were ultimately blasted away by the terrifying energy. Both of them were thrown backward as if struck by a heavy blow.

Tang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, barely managing to stop his backward steps. When he looked up again, he found that Xiao Yu's figure had already disappeared from his sight.

What happened to that kid? Could he have died from the energy surge just now?

Before Tang Chen could even feel happy, his mental sea suddenly sent him a dangerous warning.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a sharp sword light suddenly shot out from in front of him without warning. Although Tang Chen was alert, he was a step too slow. The Hades Sword pierced through Tang Chen's chest.

Xiao Yu slowly drew his longsword. His right leg still emitted a faint glow. This was the fourth soul bone he had absorbed in the underworld, one of the soul bone skills granted to him by the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Underworld Dragon. It was the same soul bone skill as that of a certain love-struck rabbit—teleportation!

Tang Chen stared in disbelief at the bloody hole in his chest, muttering, "I...I lost!"

Yes, you lost!

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The reason he was able to recover before Tang Chen and make the first move was partly because he suppressed his physical discomfort and forced the use of his soul bone skill, but more importantly, in that last collision, he finally broke through the final bottleneck and successfully advanced to level 90. He only needed one more soul ring to join the ranks of Title Douluo.

Xiao Yu slowly withdrew his martial spirit and looked at Tang Chen, saying, "Tang Chen, you're getting old. This era belongs to the young. It's time for you, once the strongest soul master in the world, to step down from your pedestal!"

Am I getting old?

The color in Tang Chen's pupils gradually began to fade. In the last moment of his life, he was not thinking about his sect and his descendants, but about the figure he longed for.

He struggled to lift his head and, with his last breath, spoke towards the direction of Poseidon Island: "I'm sorry, Poseidon, I ultimately failed to fulfill my promise to you. Farewell, I long to see you one last time!"

boom!

Xiao Yu couldn't stand Tang Chen's love-struck remarks. No wonder Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were also love-struck; the source of their feelings was Tang Chen!

With a single punch, Tang Chen's body was blasted apart by Xiao Yu, leaving only six shimmering soul bones and a glittering golden token on the spot.

It was a hammer-shaped token, also known as the Haotian Token. For the people of the Haotian Sect, the Haotian Token was the sect's symbol. Whoever obtained the Haotian Token could become the chief elder of the Haotian Sect and had the right to interfere in any major affairs of the sect.

This was also one of Xiao Yu's goals for this trip.

Xiao Yu unceremoniously took the Haotian Token and the six soul bones into his possession.

It has to be said that Tang Chen, as the strongest sect master in the history of the Haotian Sect, is indeed something special. None of his six soul bones are less than 50,000 years old. Among them, the most important torso soul bone and left arm soul bone are both 100,000 years old. They are all pure strength-type soul bones, and many of Xiao Yu's subordinates can choose to absorb them.

After accepting the Soul Bone and the Haotian Token, Xiao Yu turned his attention to the Asura Demon Sword, which was filled with a murderous aura. This was the divine artifact left behind by the Asura God in this world, and it was one of his goals for this trip.

Without the Asura Demon Sword and the Asura God, let's see how you cheat Tang San and pass on the Asura God position to him without any testing.
