Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 673 The Battle Arena of Ruins (6K)

Half a minute of continuous firepower left the Soul Arena looking as if it had been struck by a meteorite from outer space, its surface riddled with craters and charred black. The once smooth, mirror-like surface was now covered in cracks, with broken stones scattered everywhere, some even melted by the intense heat, forming areas resembling flowing lava.

A relieved smile appeared on Xiao Hongchen's face. Yes, no matter how strong that Soul Earth Deficiency was, it was impossible for it to withstand the firepower of a Soul Saint like himself for half a minute.

Such terrifying firepower would have sent an entire battalion to their deaths on the battlefield.

Xiao Hongchen's breathing became heavy, and a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Zheng Zhan's unmoved figure.

No, no, why is the referee still standing outside the fighting arena? Why hasn't the opposing team entered to rescue him yet?

An invincible shield?

Did the opponent use an invincible shield to block my firepower?

No, the maximum duration of the invincible shield is only three seconds. Although there is no explicit limit to the number of invincible shields that can be used during Soul Battle, in reality, even a seven-ring Soul Saint like him can only activate a maximum of five invincible shields when going all out.

One invincible shield can last for three seconds, and five shields will only last for fifteen seconds, while my artillery barrage lasted for a full thirty seconds!

Xiao Hongchen cried out in his heart, he couldn't believe that anyone could withstand his artillery barrage.

But as the last flame dissipated with the smoke, everyone saw Wang Dong'er standing motionless.

She emanated a faint red glow, and her clothes were completely undamaged. The Haotian Hammer in her hand, which was originally covered in frost, had now become incredibly blazing, like a flaming hammer just taken out of a furnace.

Question: If Wang Dong'er is hiding her identity and only using her second spirit, how many spirit skills can she use with only two spirit rings?

In fact, even without considering the two arm soul bones and the Dark Gold Terror Claw external bone, Wang Dong'er has more than eight soul skills and soul bone skills at her disposal, which is even more abundant than Meng Hongchen's arsenal of seven-ring soul saints.

A 100,000-year soul ring can produce at least two soul skills, and the same goes for a 100,000-year soul bone. However, after absorbing the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot into her own soul spirits, Wang Dong'er already felt the trouble of Huo Yuhao having too many weapons in his arsenal and not knowing which ones to use.

It's more than enough; it's simply impossible to use it all up.

A terrifying gust of air suddenly burst outwards from her body.

The temperature on the Soul Arena, which had already been transformed into a near-molten lava hell by the cannon fire, suddenly plummeted once again.

From the outside, one can only see the thick ice fog suddenly and rapidly rising upwards, like a mushroom cloud rising suddenly, with two indescribable majesties appearing in the ice fog.

Under the dreamlike light and shadow refracted by the ice mist, each audience member sees a different scene.

Some people saw the icy spikes that had erupted when the Frost Shock was released earlier within that cloud of icy mist, while others saw a terrifying flame that never ceased.

The forces of ice and fire swirl and intertwine on a dark warhammer, as if this warhammer were the point of fusion of these two extreme forces.

Under the cover of the icy mist, the surface of the warhammer shimmered with a faint light, which flickered and made Wang Dong'er appear even more mysterious.

The head of the warhammer seemed to be surrounded by endless frost and flames, forming a strange balance.

Whenever the frost reaches its maximum concentration, a wisp of flame will burst forth from it and melt the frost;

When the flames reach their peak, a chill will emanate from deep within them, freezing the flames.

This constantly alternating and transforming scene is rarely seen through the ice fog.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Dong'er's body, a glint of madness flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.

He would never allow himself to lose to his opponent. He was the trump card of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the last hope for victory, and he could not afford to fall at the last moment before victory.

If they themselves fail, then perhaps no one in the academy will be able to defeat the opponent. This time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's participation in the competition will be the only time in its thousands of years of history that it has failed to even make it into the top eight.

"Grandpa, be proud of me."

Xiao Hongchen murmured something, and the soul rings beneath his feet lit up almost simultaneously.

The churning of the golden metal abruptly stopped, and the surface even began to show a feeling of impending boiling.

Xiao Hongchen felt as if his soul was burning, and the soul tool on his body underwent another change.

The soul power within him began to rapidly dissipate during the activation of his soul skill.

As the soul tool changed, he felt as if the soul power contained in the gaps between his muscles and bones was being squeezed out.

What does it mean to overdraw one's soul power?

Just look at Xiao Hongchen's Martial Soul True Body now, where even his muscles have shriveled up, and you'll understand that he has squeezed all the power out of his body to the extreme.

Despite still maintaining his Golden Toad form, the aura emanating from him made the people from the small sects and academies in the rest area feel uneasy.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that Xiao Hongchen was now so weak that he could barely stand, as if he would fall over with the slightest breeze. His enormous three-legged golden toad form had lost its original dazzling golden luster and become dull and lifeless.

In contrast, the golden cannon that Xiao Hongchen had condensed and reassembled using the last wisp of his soul power was now bursting with intense golden-red light, and a terrifying aura poured out along with the torrent of soul power.

"boom--"

A torrent of soul power, even more breathtaking than the Thunder Cannon from the previous competition, shot towards Wang Dong'er's position like a golden flash, carrying an unwavering belief in victory and unparalleled determination.

The icy mist dissipated at this moment, and the originally dark Haotian Hammer in Wang Dong'er's hand had transformed into a real warhammer.

Her eyes held a hint of admiration and a touch of wonder.

The icy frost instantly billowed up, and the black giant hammer was covered with crystal-clear ice. At the center of the Haotian Hammer, through the layer of frost, a blazing flame was brewing within the red-hot hammer.

The girl in black became the focus of attention at this moment. She didn't flinch or dodge, but instead gripped the Soul Hammer and charged towards the torrent of soul power.

The next moment, as the two completely different fluctuations collided, a violent shock of soul power erupted outward from the center of their confrontation.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

This is clearly a situation where we have to fight to the death, and there's no way to resolve it!

Under these circumstances, there wasn't even a chance to activate the invincibility shield.

The invincible shield's interception is indiscriminate, affecting both friend and foe.

If an invincibility shield is activated while launching an attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.
