Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 697 The World Changes! (6K)

For example, the Titan Snow Demon, the Twin Giants, the Wolf Thief born from a human and a Gale Wolf, and the rarest of all, the naturally born Ice and Snow Maiden.

Among the extremely rare types of soul beasts, such as the Ice and Snow Maiden, the most famous is none other than the Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North!

This kid is incredibly lucky; he managed to find another Ice and Snow Maiden and even command her soul to fight for him.

A hint of envy flashed in Zhongli Wu's eyes.

At this moment, Long Aotian's face was solemn.

The moment that icy blue light, resembling a gunshot, appeared, his soul felt a stinging pain.

This is a guaranteed hit that cannot be dodged.

He really is a monster-like opponent.

Long Aotian took a deep breath, suppressing the oppressive feeling that came from his soul, and his body emitted a white-hot light.

One of his seven spirit rings finally lit up.

Facing Huo Yuhao, it was absolutely impossible for Long Aotian to simply rely on the unity of heaven and man and the second awakening of the silver level to fight him to a draw.

Even he had to use spirit rings to amplify his combat power.

As the first spirit ring lit up, some strange changes began to appear on Long Aotian's body.

His muscles slowly bulged, making him even more muscular than before.

Immediately afterwards, his third spirit ring also shone brightly, instantly covering his skin with a layer of dark golden luster, as if it were cast from metal.

The release of the two soul skills made his aura even more powerful, almost reaching the level of a Soul Douluo.

At this moment, Long Aotian looked as if he had an extra layer of dark gold armor on his body.

The moment after releasing the two soul skills, he raised his iron fists and smashed them towards the tips of the two swords.

"Bang bang—"

Two booming sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and the Snow Maiden's attack was immediately halted. Huo Yuhao's sword tip collided with the opponent's iron fist, and he could no longer advance even half a step.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao soared into the air, flipped violently in mid-air, and the Emperor Sword in his hand erupted with an even colder aura as he slashed fiercely at Long Aotian.

This sudden change of tactics caught Long Aotian off guard. He raised his hand to defend against Huo Yuhao's slash that fell from mid-air, while Xue Nu put away her Emperor Sword and unleashed another Great Cold Snowfall Strike towards Long Aotian!

Having spent so much time and effort in Ashina, Huo Yuhao knew all too well what he feared most.

It was not Ashina Isshin, not his adoptive father, and not even the sculptor who was transformed from a vengeful demon as tall as a three-story building due to the burning of Asura karma.

It's not a one-against-many battle.

Two fists can't beat four hands, and even a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves. Fighting one against many is Huo Yuhao's biggest headache.

However, if he were in the majority, Huo Yuhao's attitude would change.

I suggest we get more people involved!

Feeling the Snow Maiden's sudden palm strike that seemed to freeze his very soul, Long Aotian's expression changed drastically. He quickly activated his invincible shield, blocking the two fatal blows.

Immediately afterwards, the invincible shield was forcibly deactivated, and Long Aotian leaped into the air, kicking Huo Yuhao in the chest and sending him flying.

Huo Yuhao wasn't annoyed at being kicked away by Long Aotian. Instead, he stood up, smiled, and patted his chest.

He could sense that Long Aotian had been truly anxious just now. If his and Xue Di's combined attack had landed, even Long Aotian, who had activated his Silver Awakening, would have turned into Ice Aotian.

However, Long Aotian's ability to use the invincible shield is far superior to that of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

If it were the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, they would insist on keeping their invincible shield up and not letting go, waiting for you to pour all your attacks into the shield until your soul power is exhausted before realizing that something is wrong.

Long Aotian's invincible shield was like a dragonfly skimming the water, blocking the attack launched by him and Xue Di. He immediately cut off the transmission of soul power to the invincible shield, took advantage of the momentum to take off into the air, and kicked himself away, using the reaction force to create distance between himself and Xue Nu.

This series of actions would be impossible to react to in the blink of an eye without proficient combat experience.

After kicking Huo Yuhao away, Long Aotian showed no joy in his eyes, but rather a more solemn expression.

He was clearly one level higher than his opponent, and had even awakened the second awakening of his Silver-level Martial Soul. Yet, his opponent was still able to fight him on equal footing and even gained a slight advantage. He was simply a monster!

A look of seriousness flashed in Long Aotian's eyes, and a strange scene unfolded.

Long Aotian's body suddenly lengthened. It felt like noodles were being stretched. His entire body rose to a full four meters, his arms outstretched. It felt as if he were a piece of dark golden metal that had melted and then expanded.

In the blink of an eye, Long Aotian's height, from arms to feet, had exceeded five meters. His joined arms transformed into a giant axe.

The original martial soul can actually be used like this? Constantly transforming one's body?

Long Aotian's fighting style can be described as unique; at least in this competition, no one has been able to do it like him.

The incandescent light that had always been on his body suddenly intensified, revealing his fourth soul skill—the Mad God Slash—a breakthrough from the Unity of Heaven and Man.

The giant axe tilted back, and its massive, dark golden body instantly charged towards the Snow Woman.

Just like in the previous match when Xiao Hongchen used the Aging Ray to hit the Netherworld Giant Wolf's soul, as long as he can forcibly kill this Snow Maiden, the difficulty of facing Huo Yuhao will be greatly reduced!

Among Long Aotian's seven spirit rings, the fifth black spirit ring shone brightly. His body suddenly lit up, and in the incandescent light, he seemed to be burning.

His fourth soul skill is the Mad God Slash, while his fifth soul skill is called: Heaven and Earth Change.

Long Aotian's entire body suddenly began to spin rapidly like a top. His body seemed to be completely distorted. And in this rapid spinning, his entire body began to rise upwards.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Long Aotian was incredibly dangerous.

In Huo Yuhao's mind, the strongest version of Long Aotian had finally appeared.

The main body's martial soul undergoes a second awakening, achieving unity with heaven and man, and acquiring soul skills. These three elements are combined into one.

As Long Aotian spun rapidly, relying on his formidable strength, his body soared upwards, instantly plunging into the sky.

Of course, this is also because this competition does not restrict the height of the competition venue. If it were according to the competition rules of the previous competition, he really wouldn't have been able to break through.

Long Aotian, who was rapidly ascending, was like a huge white ball of light. After rushing into the air for more than a hundred meters, he suddenly stopped for a moment. Then, the ball of light descended from the sky with an indomitable and tragic momentum.

The unity of heaven and man, the transformation of heaven and earth. This is the true essence of this strike.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to summon back the Snow Maiden, causing Long Aotian's seemingly inevitable attack to miss its mark, Huo Yuhao's expression changed.

The target of this attack wasn't the Snow Woman at all; it was him!
