Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"when!"

A dull and crisp sound of impact rippled outwards, creating a vacuum. Suddenly, the substantial Seven Kill Sword Qi rapidly spread out of the point of impact with the Haotian Hammer, cracking all over the entire sword in the blink of an eye, before shattering.

"receive!"

With a thought, Chen Xin retrieved the shattered sword energy into his body, and even recovered a portion of the previously shattered Killing Technique sword energy.

Seeing this, Tang Zhen's face darkened, and he felt an urge to curse.

He had witnessed this kind of trickery from the villain many times during the Soul Master Competition half a year ago, so it wasn't unexpected that he would see it again on Chen Xin now. However, it was a personal experience, and the feeling was terrible.

That's outrageous!

What alarmed him even more was the sword mark on his Martial Soul, the Haotian Hammer, which had just been made by that sword strike.

This proves that Chen Xin's sword energy is sharp enough to harm his Haotian Hammer, which he has cultivated to its peak. This is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, his killing intent surged once again.

"Ring detonation!"

Without delay, he decisively unleashed the Ring Explosion technique, shattering all eight of his soul rings in one go. The immense soul power that surged forth was channeled into the Clear Sky Hammer, causing it to expand rapidly, reaching a massive fifty meters in the blink of an eye, much larger than the Great Sumeru Hammer he had previously used.

Although the foundation of the Great Sumeru Hammer's cultivation lies in condensing the Soul Ring and Martial Soul into one, it can also shatter the Soul Ring to further enhance its power. This is the Great Sumeru Hammer's desperate method, unleashing power far exceeding its own limits.

Although he hadn't yet shattered his strongest ninth spirit ring, he was confident that with the support of all eight spirit rings, he could defeat and kill Chen Xin.

"Sacrifice!"

Chen Xin also fought desperately, using a sacrificial method to ignite the soul power within his body, sublimating the soul power to the extreme and unleashing all its potential.

Chapter 237 Seven Killings Shattered Ring

"A swift and decisive victory!"

With a grim expression, Dai Tiehu withdrew his gaze from the battle and looked down at the battlefield, giving an order in a hateful voice. The others also looked very unhappy.

They thought that was Chen Xin's limit when they fought before, but who knew he had held back most of his strength. If he had really gotten serious, they would have been dead long ago.

After an hour's delay, the entire 3,000-strong Soul Master Legion must have been killed in battle. Even if they had won this battle, it would have been a huge loss.

However, we still have to keep fighting, otherwise we will suffer even greater losses if we fail to annihilate the Snowblade Legion and take away the Snowblade Greatsword.

The group took a breath and channeled their soul power, preparing to unleash their soul skills to bombard the Snow Peak Legion below, which was shrouded in blood mist.

The blood mist was indeed strange, but it mainly prevented Soul Masters from activating their Soul Rings, and didn't have a significant impact on already formed Soul Skills.

Their ideas were correct, but before they could express them, an unexpected change occurred.

"Soul Skill Seamless Arrival Derivative Skill: Hundred-Step Flying Sword!"

A figure darted out like a streak of light, piercing the heart of a Title Douluo with a single sword strike. Without pausing, the figure appeared behind a nearby female Title Douluo, thrusting her sword straight at her vital point in the back, imbued with a deadly lock-on effect that made her heart skip a beat.

However, the delay caused by killing that person earlier was enough for him to react and hurriedly release an instant defensive soul skill.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Mirror Shift!"

The Martial Soul Mirror manifested behind him, its surface rippling and resonating throughout a ten-meter radius.

This is a special spatial soul skill that can transfer the opponent's soul skill attack, and can also transfer it directly to the opponent. Because it is spatial, it is almost impossible to defend against.

"I have already seen through your soul skill."

A smile played on Guangling's lips beneath the mask. Suddenly, Guangling released his grip, and Yuanhong Sword made a sharp turn, bypassing the range of the Mirror Soul Skill at an even faster speed to attack from the side.

The sword blade, wrapped in a thin film of sword energy, pierced through the left rib, through the lungs and heart, and exited from the right rib, killing with a single blow.

Looking down in disbelief at the sword that had pierced through her, the woman couldn't understand how her supposedly impenetrable defense had been so easily breached.

Before he could figure it out, a sword intent erupted from the sword and surged into his mental sea, shattering his consciousness.

"A good idea; it's worth the year of research I've put in."

Guangling caught the person and put him into a storage soul tool that could store living beings. He was very satisfied with this self-created soul skill.

Back then, he delved into the fifth soul skill, "Persistent Arrival," based on his grandson's sword intent. It was a soul skill with a locking effect, capable of relentlessly pursuing the opponent, either hitting the target or shattering the arrow.

He had just used this locking characteristic to allow the enhanced Yuanhong Sword to bypass and shoot him. He could even accelerate his movement speed due to the effect of this soul skill. It was a great advantage whether he was using it to ambush or escape.

Without further ado, Guangling continued to use his light-attribute soul power to enhance his movement speed, transforming into a stream of light to attack Dai Tiehu and the others.

"It's you!"

Dai Tiehu roared. Although he couldn't discern the other party's true identity, he was certain that the last Title Douluo who supported that kid from Huanyin Academy had finally appeared today, and was so powerful that he was definitely a Super Douluo.

Despite their anger and anxiety, they could not escape the enemy's attacks and could only dodge in a sorry state.

The other three Title Douluos had no choice but to rush up and attack, but unfortunately, they were no match for Guang Ling, who had already mastered the use of light attribute soul power to enhance speed.

"It's him!"

Gu Rong, who had been observing from the shadows, looked solemn. He confirmed that it was the person who had secretly locked onto him during the Dual-Sound Competition at Tianyin Academy that day, and at the same time, he secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, the fight didn't continue. Otherwise, given that person's strength, I would have been no match for him, and at that speed, it would have been difficult for me to even escape.

I have no recollection of when such a powerful figure appeared in the world.

"Charm".

Forcing himself to calm down, Gu Rong looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him, wondering whether he should make a move now or not.

"Wait a little longer, there must still be people from the Haotian Sect hiding in the shadows."

With his eyes fixed on the blurry figure that had turned into a streak of light, Ning Fengzhi clenched his fists, feeling a pang of jealousy towards his younger brother.

What makes that young man so capable of gaining the protection of such a powerful figure?

You should know that after years of planning, you've only managed to win over one Bone Douluo.

"Old Swordsman's side is about to lose, should we save them or not?"

Turning his gaze to the other side of the battlefield, Gu Rong's face was filled with worry.

Ning Fengzhi turned his head and saw that Chen Xin was indeed being suppressed by Tang Zhen. The Great Sumeru Hammer was indeed a divine skill, especially after being enhanced by the Ring Explosion Secret Technique, it was even more terrifying. Even Chen Xin, who was being suppressed by Tian Hao's multiple cheats, was suppressed.

However, it's only a suppression; defeating Chen Xin won't be easy.

Ning Fengzhi hesitated. Although he knew that if he rescued Chen Xin at this moment, he would surely gain the other party's gratitude, but that would undoubtedly make him an enemy of Haotian Sect. They might come knocking on his door with a hammer the next day.

Despite the defeat the Clear Sky Sect suffered at the hands of the Spirit Hall, it remains the number one sect in the world, far beyond the reach of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Constantly weighing the gains and losses, Ning Fengzhi became increasingly conflicted.

While Chen Xin was being suppressed, he was enjoying the pressure and even vaguely sensed that his bottleneck was loosening.

Indeed, combat is the best way for a swordsman to break through, especially a life-or-death battle where everything is at stake.

"when!"

After another head-on clash, Chen Xin used the impact to pull himself back and used his soul power to soothe his aching arms, especially his hands which were already covered in blood.

The Haotian Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one sect in the world; their explosive power is inhuman.

It was only because of the constant repair by Blue Silver Soul Power that his hands were able to be shattered from repeated collisions.

You didn't let me down!

"I have another sword technique, inspired by your Haotian Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer and Exploding Ring Secret Technique. Although it's only a single strike, it's definitely stronger than your Haotian Sect's."

Chen Xin smiled, very satisfied and happy with this battle.

Although Qian Daoliu and Jin E Douluo are stronger than Tang Chen, they cannot demonstrate the feeling of a life-or-death battle because they are not enemies, which makes it difficult for them to help him break through.

That's why he was looking forward to a battle with Tang Zhen.

Now it's time to reveal our final trump card and decide the winner!

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Tang Zhen acknowledged Chen Xin's strength, but said that creating a secret technique that surpassed the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Ring was nothing short of a pipe dream.

However, what happened next left him completely bewildered.

Nine slowly rotating soul rings appeared on Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword, marking the first time soul rings had appeared since the start of the war.

What's most terrifying is that all nine spirit rings are black, which makes Tang Zhen involuntarily think of that person from the Spirit Hall.

That person's first four spirit rings were black ten-thousand-year spirit rings. Could it be that Chen Xin also obtained a similar opportunity?

Or rather, what did they gain from the cataclysmic changes in the world?

Before Tang Zhen could figure it out, Chen Xin swung his sword and shattered nine spirit rings, perfectly integrating the vast spirit power and primal power within into the Seven Kill Sword, making it even more perfect than Tang Zhen's ring-shattering fusion.

Since both the soul power in the soul ring and its origin are Chen Xin's own power, they can naturally be perfectly integrated, and the power unleashed will be even stronger.

The fusion of the nine sword-path soul rings caused the power of the Seven Kill Sword to soar, but because of the perfect fusion, not a single trace of its aura leaked out, making it even more terrifying.

Chapter 238 The New Number One Attacker in the World!

"You're crazy! You're crazy too!"

Coming to his senses, Tang Zhen cursed angrily, but was also filled with fear.

Having practiced the Soul Ring Destruction Technique, he naturally understood its essence and dangers. Their Clear Sky Sect's Soul Ring Destruction Technique did not actually shatter the Soul Ring completely; the degree of control within it was crucial, which is why the Soul Ring could only recover after the destruction.

But he saw it clearly just now: Chen Xin had completely shattered the soul ring, and the degree of shattering was absolutely impossible to restore.

This means abandoning one's own spirit ring, after which the spirit power level will inevitably plummet, and may even fall below the level of a Title Douluo.

This is true desperation, and utterly insane.

He had thought that Chen Xin would eventually find a chance to escape, which was why he had the four elders guard the area. Who would have thought that Chen Xin would actually fight so desperately?

Is it really worth it for that kid, for the Heavenly Dou Empire?

The power that could be enhanced by such a simple and brutal ring-breaking fusion was truly unimaginable; he didn't even know if he could withstand it.

Despite his fear and confusion, Tang Zhen reacted quickly, decisively shattering his 100,000-year-old ninth spirit ring. An even greater surge of spirit power flowed into his body and into his spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, causing the massive hammer to expand further. The aura it emitted became increasingly heavy and domineering, almost solidifying the surrounding air and giving it a power capable of shattering heaven and earth.

Clearly, the immense soul power brought the Clear Sky Hammer's characteristics to their absolute limit.

This is the true Great Sumeru Hammer. Even though it is slow to activate, it can still create an effect similar to a control-type soul skill by relying on its heavy characteristics when activated to the limit, suppressing the enemy's speed and evasion, forcing them to fight head-on.

However, the ninth spirit ring was extraordinary. The spirit power released when the 100,000-year spirit ring shattered was fundamentally different from the previous eight spirit rings. The impact of the shattered spirit power was extremely strong. Even with Tang Zhen's physical strength, he could not withstand it perfectly. As soon as the ring shattered, blood seeped from his skin all over his body, his veins bulged, and his face was ferocious.
