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

"I've been waiting for you!"

The Thunder Tribulation Grass Sword manifested on the field, and Tian Hao stared directly at the Emperor Shadow clone opposite him.

Even though it's my own alter ego, I still have to act out the scenes.

He takes acting very seriously.

"I've been waiting for you too!"

The Emperor's Shadow clone responded coldly, his expression icy, but anyone could feel his fighting spirit.

"You are worthy of me drawing the Silent Blade... no, the Silent Sword!"

Even after drawing his Martial Soul Sword, Huang Ying's clone remained indifferent, maintaining his aloof and arrogant demeanor, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, even after mispronouncing his lines.

At the same time, he expanded his sword domain. Although his sword domain was not very strong, it covered a very wide area, almost encompassing the entire arena.

This scene puzzled many people. After all, power can only be stronger when it is concentrated. This kind of sword domain that is dispersed and so thin that it is almost non-existent is really hard to understand.

"Then let's fight!"

With a slight twitch at the corner of his eye, Tian Hao stopped talking and began to unleash his lightning-fast movement, charging through the air towards the dark clouds rumbling with thunder in the sky.

The Wuhun City area has been mostly rainy lately, and today the rain is even more severe, turning into thunderstorms, which is more suitable for the Nine Strike Purple Lightning techniques.

He quickly stepped into the thunderclouds, expanding his Thunder Domain and Sword Domain, and used his own Thunder Tribulation Soul Power to imbue the thunder in the thunderclouds with a faint purple hue.

Once a certain level is reached, decisively unleash the first strike of the Nine Strike of Purple Thunder.

"The First Strike of the Nine Purple Thunder Strikes: Spring Thunder Appears!"

"The First of the Seven Transformations of Shocking Emotion: A Heart Free of All Things, Awe-Inspiring Before All Living Beings!"

The Emperor's Shadow clone also swung his sword towards the sky. It didn't have the high-effect lightning tribulation sword energy, but his sword intent was very strong and unique, with a sense of arrogance and disregard for the world.

This is a kind of sword intent, a sword intent infused with emotion, the result of Tian Hao's research on the kind of field his wife Tang Yuehua was in.

This counterfeit version of the Emperor's Shadow clone was originally a fallen soul master whose martial soul and soul skills could absorb the negative emotions of others to strengthen themselves. To this end, he secretly captured many people and tortured them in various cruel ways to make his martial soul and soul skills absorb negative emotions and improve.

Eventually, the Spirit Hall discovered this and arrested him, and Tian Hao eventually refined him into this clone.

The original soul had been devoured by the Dark Demon God Tiger. The soul in this body is a brand new soul created by the life evolution ability. Although it is not strong, it can still show powerful combat strength with the sword intent instilled by Tian Hao and the pre-set Seven Transformations of Shocking Emotion.

In reality, the Emperor's Shadow Clone is merely a vessel used to unleash Tian Hao's sword intent; it is quite ordinary in itself.

"What a strange sword intent!"

Dugu Bo was shocked, staring intently at the figure, whose sword intent had affected him to some extent.

Xue Qinghe, whose strength was even lower, was in even worse shape, his face already affected, revealing an arrogant and indifferent expression.

The audience in the surrounding area were also affected, inevitably influenced by that arrogant sword intent. At the same time, the arrogance that arose from this influence was also gathered through the sword domain, amplifying that sword strike.

This differs from the Nine Strikes of Purple Thunder, which is enhanced by the power of thunder; it is strengthened at the level of sword intent.

By relying on the resonance between the sword domain and the consciousness and emotions of the surrounding audience, the sword intent is strengthened by absorbing and gathering through the sword domain and martial spirit, making the arrogant sword intent even stronger, thus making the sword energy more powerful.

The two sword energies, one above and one below, collided in the blink of an eye and then exploded, resulting in a draw.

"Purple Lightning Nine Strikes, Second Strike - Summer Lightning Strike!"

"The Second of the Seven Shocking Changes: A Heart Full of Sorrow Trapped in a City of Sorrow!"

When Tian Hao unleashed the second strike of the Nine Purple Lightning Strikes, the Huangying clone also unleashed its second transformation.

This time, a sense of sorrow spread out, causing sorrow to arise in the hearts of almost everyone present, which was then collected, gathered, and strengthened by the expanding sword domain.

With the blessing of the Sorrowful Sword Intent, the sword energy transformed into a sword net to meet the second strike of the Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning falling from the sky, and the two still fought to a draw.

Tian Hao himself is blessed with thunder and lightning, and the Huang Ying clone below can influence and draw on the emotional power of all the audience. Even if each person can only contribute a little bit of emotional power, it is still quite terrifying when gathered together, and is not afraid of the enhanced version of the Nine Strike of Purple Lightning.

"It's very similar to your Ruyi Realm."

On the stands of the Phantom Sound team, Ying Mei looked at Tang Yuehua, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, and realized that this sword technique was somewhat similar to Tang Yuehua's talent domain, both of which could affect the emotions of others.

"There is some connection."

Tang Yuehua nodded gracefully, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.

Although the pervert had previously claimed to have created a new sword technique based on the characteristics of his own domain, he had kept it a secret and had not explained it in detail. Today was the first time she had seen it, and she was quite surprised.

This can undoubtedly serve as a sword-based inheritance for the Illusionary Sound Academy, allowing the academy to advance further and making it more suitable for martial soul masters with musical instruments.

Musical instrument-type Soul Masters generally possess spiritual talents, making them less suited to pursuing a pure sword path like the Holy Spirit Sword Technique. The current Seven Transformations of Shock is clearly a better fit, and can even be integrated into the students' self-created musical instrument Soul Skills.

Students specializing in musical instruments had complained about this before, and even the teacher, Hai Liuyun, had nagged about it many times, saying that Huanyin Academy was essentially a music academy, not a swordsmanship academy, and that it had gone astray.

Now that we have this set of emotionally-focused Seven Transformations, I'm sure that teacher won't complain anymore.

"They can create a powerful set of self-made soul skills so easily. We can't understand the lives of geniuses."

Feng Aotian sat helplessly on the ground. He and his son were exhausted from trying to master the Gale Wolf Combo, but even so, its power was only so-so.

But the soul skills created by those two over there are far superior to theirs, they're on completely different levels.

If they were to face each other, they would be too embarrassed to use their Gale Wolf Infinite Combo.

Don't be fooled by the impressive-sounding Infinite Combo. Like the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Haotian Sect, it requires slow accumulation of power. Once interrupted by the opponent, all your efforts will be wasted.

As for the two players on the field, they probably won't even have a chance to use their skills.

Especially that guy from the Phantom Sound Team, his swordsmanship is too strange. Even he was affected and filled with sorrow, his combat power was reduced by more than half, and he was impossible to defend against. How could he possibly fight him?

"A heart filled with affection is easily severed!"

In the arena below, Huang Ying's clone unleashed a knock-off version of the third transformation of the Seven Transformations of Shocking Love, a sword intent born from emotion that once again caught the audience off guard.

Before he could recover from his earlier sorrow, the influence of the sword domain stirred up new emotions within him, and he even found himself involuntarily recalling his past relationships, such as ex-girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, ex-wives, and ex-husbands.

The emotions of countless people were drawn together by the sword's domain, making the sword intent even more chaotic, like a tangled mess.

But this is precisely the essence of love, and also the essence of this sword strike.

Every trace of emotion condensed into sword energy, eventually converging into a sphere to meet the third strike of the Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning. The two sides once again fought to a standstill.

"So that's what you were planning."

Dugu Bo then realized that the reason his opponent had expanded the sword domain so thinly was not to directly strengthen the attack, but to use it as a medium to influence the emotions of others and then collect their emotional power for his own use.

The combined power of these emotions terrified him; it was far more terrifying than simply using the Sword Domain to amplify his attack.

"Why weren't you affected this time?"

Suddenly, he realized that Xue Qinghe was not affected this time. Although he looked shocked, it was not the kind of emotional state he should have after this sword strike.

"Uh...maybe it's because I haven't experienced love yet."

Xue Qinghe was taken aback, then a possibility came to mind.

He did indeed sense the emotion in the sword strike, but he didn't feel any resonance with it, so he wasn't affected.

"It seems that swordsmanship is not perfect either."

Dugu Bo's eye twitched slightly, and he realized that this was a flaw in the sword technique, which was not a flaw in itself.

"I think he could forcefully influence everyone's emotions, but he didn't?"

Xue Qinghe didn't quite understand. If you forcibly influence everyone's emotions, you can definitely gather more emotional power.

"The core of this sword technique lies in the resonance of emotions, which stirs up the emotions and even memories of others, disturbing their mind. Because it is everyone's own emotion, it is impossible to defend against. No matter how strong one is, one will be affected, which is enough to create a fatal flaw."

If external emotions are forced in, it will become a flaw in this swordsmanship.

Intrigued, Chen Xin casually offered an explanation, expressing his admiration for the swordsmanship created by his junior brother.

This can be considered a way of entering the Dao through emotion. He had studied it before, but it was not suitable for him. At that time, his understanding of emotion was limited to feelings and love. But this time, his junior brother took a different approach and pointed directly to all kinds of emotions.

By infusing emotions into sword intent and resonating with others, one gains the blessing of shared emotions, thereby enhancing the power of sword intent and unleashing combat power far exceeding one's own limits.

Although this is not the same as the unity of man and nature, it is by no means inferior to the unity of man and nature.

"A swordsman's obsession with love, a heart-wrenching tragedy!"

After the Chaotic Emotion Slash, the Emperor's Shadow clone unleashed the fourth transformation of the Seven Transformations of Emotion, which was also about the path of emotion. However, unlike the previous tangled emotions, this time the emotions emphasized exclusivity and singularity, and even had some extreme obsession.

All the emotions were gathered together and then, guided by the sword intent, merged into a concentrated power of emotion.

He once again thrust his sword straight into the sky, this time with only a single sword aura, but it was extremely condensed, perfectly clashing with the falling winter thunder and lightning sword aura. Both emphasized condensation, making it a clash of titans.

The two sword energies collided precisely, exploding with a deafening roar, once again resulting in a stalemate.

"He worked so hard on the job, let's give him a chicken leg after the performance!"

On the main stand, after exchanging another fierce glance with Liu Erlong, a certain seductive and shameless woman, Bibi Dong praised the clone controlled by the traitor in the arena.

Playing two roles is not something just anyone can do; it must be incredibly hard work, so at least a bonus is in order.

Of course, the most important thing is for the traitor to capture that seductive slut. She looks forward to the scene when that seductive slut finds out the truth and calls her teacher along with the traitor.

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly happy; I have to praise this traitor.

Qian Daoliu and Jin E Douluo, who were standing nearby, frowned as they listened. That kid didn't want a chicken leg, he wanted your leg!

Of course, they wouldn't say that out loud, after all, she's a goddess now, and they can't beat her.

"I hate and despise a thousand men, their brows furrowed in cold indignation!"

The Emperor's Shadow clone continued its offensive, unleashing a knock-off version of the Seven Transformations of Shocking Love, its mindset shifting to one of defiant indifference, filled with hatred yet contempt for all existence.

At this moment, it's not the eyes that are cold, but the heart.

Everyone's emotions were stirred up again, and hatred triggered corresponding memories from the past. Some people recalled their boyfriends cheating on them, some recalled being cuckolded, and so on. The more they thought about it, the more they hated it, and their faces became ferocious.

Such intense emotions, when combined, made the attack even more powerful.

At the same time, Tian Hao himself in the thunderclouds of the sky also unleashed a knock-off version of the fifth strike of the Purple Thunder Nine Strikes, the Thunderous Shaking of the Nine Heavens, condensing nine high-frequency vibrating lightning tribulation sword energies, which fell down towards the Huang Ying clone below with lightning speed.

The fifth strike of the Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning is different from the previous four strikes. It is a qualitative transformation and the beginning of a large-scale mobilization of lightning power, with a significant increase in power.

The Emperor's Shadow clone also gathered his hatred and cold emotions, and unleashed nine sword energies, which met the nine descending lightning tribulation sword energies one by one, blasting them apart again, resulting in a stalemate.

"A thunderclap explodes over the Five Sacred Mountains!"

Following the thunder that shook the heavens, five more sword energies emerged from the thunderclouds. Countless bolts of lightning were guided by the sword domain and the thunder domain and forcibly poured into the sword energies, giving them the feeling that they would explode at any moment.

"The heart is broken and the heart is silent, and the heart is silent!"

The Emperor's Shadow clone was also preparing for the sixth transformation, the Tranquil Heart, casting aside all emotions and severing all ties of affection, becoming a heartless killer... cough cough, a heartless sword god, with a kind of lonely loneliness at the top.
