Di Tian Descends, the Might of the Dragon God Claw, Qian Daoliu Bleeds! (Two-in-One)

The presence of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul swept over Tuo Ba Yun, and for the first time, he felt pressure.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was a God-Bestowed Martial Soul, reputed to be invincible in the sky!

By nature, it countered all Martial Souls of the dark, evil, and undead varieties.

And the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Martial Soul possessed the power of ultimate darkness, placing it squarely among them.

Beneath the sacred light.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Tuo Ba Yun's forehead.

The gap was too great, and not merely the insurmountable gulf between their levels.

There was also the absolute power of this Martial Soul attribute advantage!

At that moment, Tuo Ba Yun finally understood.

Why his ancestor had given him a reverse scale.

Swish!

Qian Daoliu condensed a sacred sword.

Pointing the sword at Tuo Ba Yun, he continued to press him, his gaze full of contempt.

He spoke calmly.

"Apologize to Uncle Jin and me now, and today's founding ceremony on Black Dragon Mountain can still end peacefully!"

Hearing Qian Daoliu's arrogant words, Tuo Ba Yun remained just as confrontational.

"Old thing, are you going to throw your weight around because of your age too?

I heard Spirit Hall has been around for a thousand years and has never used its strength to bully the weak. What is the meaning of this today?"

Faced with Tuo Ba Yun's accusation.

Qian Daoliu merely smiled contemptuously, not caring in the slightest.

"You're right. Today, I am using my strength to bully you. What are you going to do about it?"

Qian Daoliu then swept his domineering, imposing gaze over everyone present.

The people from the other sects all averted their eyes, avoiding its sharp edge.

Only one person's eyes flashed with excitement: Tang Chen.

"Haha, Qian Daoliu, you old thing, you really have no shame!"

Tang Chen laughed heartily and spoke loudly without any reservation.

Everyone present heard him.

Yet Tang Chen was only running his mouth and had no intention of helping the Black Dragon Sect's master.

On the contrary, he seemed quite supportive of Qian Daoliu's conduct.

This made the faces of everyone from Black Dragon Mountain change, leaving them deeply humiliated.

The Black Dragon Sect had sealed its mountain for over two hundred years. Had it encountered such oppression on the very day it emerged?

Did they have to apologize to Jin Cangya to quell Qian Daoliu's anger?

If they did, how could the Black Dragon Sect hold its head high before the continent for the next hundred years, or even a thousand?

Long Aoyang and Lin Wanqing clenched their delicate hands, both deeply affected.

They were Tuo Ba Yun's wives and also among the founders of Black Dragon Mountain, so their attachment to it ran deepest.

With Soul Power fluctuating around them, the two slowly descended from the platform and headed toward the arena.

There were others too: Chen Yufei, Fu Linshan, and the rest who had received Ferocious Beast essence blood.

Their faces solemn, they all took a few steps forward, ready to help Tuo Ba Yun oppose Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu noticed their movements without the slightest ripple of emotion. A sidelong glance was enough for him to gauge their strength: they were merely newly promoted Titled Douluo.

"If you want to gang up on me, come ahead."

"Get back!"

Tuo Ba Yun shouted, ordering the people of the Black Dragon Sect back.

His angry shout carried a heavy surge of Soul Power, and everyone froze where they stood.

Suddenly, they saw that the black dragon in the arena seemed to be giving off an even stronger presence.

Tuo Ba Yun had used the reverse scale!

The reverse scale covered his body, and after barely a dozen seconds of contact.

His sea of consciousness was utterly empty.

Tuo Ba Yun had fallen unconscious, but the black dragon remained in the air above the arena.

Facing the Six-Winged Angel.

And at that moment, in the Western Sea at the edge of the Douluo Continent, tens of thousands of miles away.

A grave look suddenly appeared in Di Tian's eyes.

He reined in the Soul Power he had been using to hunt a hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast.

He sent a secret message to Bi Ji and Zi JI: I have urgent business.

Then he sped away for a hundred miles.

A dragon claw tore open space.

Di Tian then possessed Tuo Ba Yun's body.

Tuo Ba Yun's golden eyes snapped open.

His presence climbed steadily.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Martial Soul transformed, evolving into the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

Dense dark Soul Power surged around him. Black Qi blotted out the clouds and the sun, and the dark presence abruptly overwhelmed the sacred presence, even changing the surroundings.

The sudden development shocked the spectators, and even Qian Daoliu was astonished.

He murmured, "The Angel Martial Soul, of the sacred lineage, has endured for ten thousand years. How can it be suppressed by a dark presence?

That's impossible!"

Raising his eyes to look at the person before him again, Qian Daoliu felt his heart tremble.

Those eyes were like those of a god of slaughter who had butchered ten thousand people!

Di Tian ignored Qian Daoliu's confusion.

He raised a dragon claw slightly, and Soul Power gathered in a second. The purple dragon flames of Myriad Dragon Flame shot forth: the third Soul Skill.

Seventh Soul Skill, Six-Winged Angel True Body!

Qian Daoliu hurriedly unleashed Angel True Body. All his attributes soared, and he sent his sacred Soul Power surging forward to withstand the attack!

His gaze grew grave, and all his earlier contempt vanished.

As a Super Douluo of his generation and the pope of Spirit Hall, he had fought countless battles. They had only just exchanged blows, yet he already felt pressure.

Since that was the case, Qian Daoliu's gaze turned solemn, and he thought of a countermeasure in an instant.

My Soul Power is several times greater than yours.

Why should I get drawn into a struggle with you?

Qian Daoliu's ninth Soul Ring lit up!

The scarlet light of a hundred thousand years illuminated the scene.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Angel's Breath!"

A wide-ranging, divine-level destructive Soul Power skill gathered strength in the air, converging on the six wings.

With a single thought from Qian Daoliu, the terrifying ninth Soul Skill would sweep across the arena on Black Dragon Mountain.

Everything happened too quickly. The members of the Upper Three Sects stood dazed for a long time.

The two sect masters, Yu Chenxiao and Ning Meilan, were stunned.

Had the pope gone mad?

That was the thought in their minds.

At that moment, the sect's elders unleashed all their Soul Power, forming defensive barriers one after another.

Quite a few people also rushed forward to reinforce the barrier around the arena.

Tang Chen was among them, a grave expression on his face as well.

He continuously supplied the arena barrier with his immense Level 98 Soul Power.

"Is that old bastard Qian really going to destroy the Black Dragon Sect?!"

"Qian Daoliu, since you've shown no mercy, don't blame me for doing the same!"

Tuo Ba Yun looked at the wide expanse of sacred flames suspended in the air. His expression did not change in the slightest as he calmly uttered three words.

"Dragon God Claw!"

This Soul Skill contained the Dragon God's law of destruction. A single strike could tear apart space, ignoring most physical and Soul Power defenses, while also destroying both the body and the source of the soul.

Tuo Ba Yun's body could hardly withstand such a powerful Soul Skill.

But Di Tian could not concern himself with that. Tuo Ba Yun had been a puppet from the moment he was born.

Perhaps after today, Tuo Ba Yun would become a cripple.

But the grand plan for the revival of the Soul Beasts must never have its progress affected by one person and one beast.

Crack, crack! Two sounds rang out!

Tuo Ba Yun's eighth and ninth Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings exploded.

Then his Soul Bones shattered...

The power required by the Dragon God Claw was far beyond what Tuo Ba Yun's current Soul Power could supply. Only by extracting it from his Soul Rings and shattering his Soul Bones could he unleash such a strike.

The black dragon claw flashed past, meeting the Angel Martial Soul's strongest attack, Angel's Breath.

As the black claw swept through, the vast expanse of sacred light was steadily extinguished, actually overwhelmed by dark energy.

The sight left everyone present dumbstruck.

That was a sacred presence!

How could a sacred presence be suppressed by dark Soul Power?

It defied common sense!

But the fact was right there before their eyes.

At the same time.

Where the Six-Winged Angel stood in midair.

Splat!!!

Blood streamed more than three zhang.

Qian Daoliu's blood poured like a waterfall, covering the arena.

His face was deathly pale, his eyes half-closed and devoid of color. Covered in blood from head to toe, Qian Daoliu was exhausted...

Below the arena.

Seeing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo paid no heed to his own injuries. He rushed up and caught the unconscious Qian Daoliu.

When he looked again at the hundred-meter Golden-Eyed Black Dragon in the arena, only fear remained in his eyes.

He timidly started to bow.

Then, feeling that it did not seem sincere enough, he hurriedly knelt.

"Sect Master Tuo Ba, I was wrong. I have no shame. Just treat me like a fart and let me go."

Slap, slap, slap!

Thud, thud, thud!

Golden Crocodile Douluo knelt and begged for mercy, slapping himself as he spoke.

He was scared. He was afraid of dying...

"Scram!" Di Tian said calmly.

Truthfully, he very much wanted to kill the two people before him, but Tuo Ba Yun would die if he did!

"All right, I'll go, I'll go."

Golden Crocodile Douluo picked up Qian Daoliu and backed away as fast as he could.

Tuo Ba Yun's black dragon, over a hundred zhang long, slowly transformed back into human form.

His body was already shattered. Two Soul Rings had exploded, and half the Soul Bones in his body had broken. The price was too great.

Perhaps after today, he would fall to the level of a mere Soul Saint, unable to advance his cultivation any further.

But to outsiders, Tuo Ba Yun still looked vigorous, apart from his deathly pale face.

That was an illusion Di Tian had deliberately created.

As for his pale face, that was merely because Tuo Ba Yun had just unleashed his ninth Soul Skill and severely depleted his Soul Power.

The reverse scale doesn't have much time left! Di Tian thought.

His golden eyes turned to one person.

Tang Chen.

Di Tian had to put pressure on this fellow to stop him from causing trouble.

Di Tian spoke first. "I hear Sect Master Tang's Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one tool Martial Soul under heaven. Since you're here, how about we have a little fun?"

As soon as he said this.

The crowd erupted.

"Good heavens, Tuo Ba Yun is actually going to challenge Tang Chen too."

"That's right, you heard him. Coming here today was worth it."

"Hold on, man, does Tuo Ba Yun still have the Soul Power to fight? He's challenging Tang Chen, a Level 98 Super Douluo!"

"Sect Master Niu, do you think Qian Daoliu is weak?"

The people there chattered and talked over one another, not forgetting to point at the blood-covered Qian Daoliu in the distance as they spoke.

As for Tang Chen himself.

His expression was ugly.

If he refused, it would be like letting someone tread on the face of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect under heaven.

But if he accepted... no, he wasn't out of his mind. He didn't want to end up in the same wretched state as old Qian!

After considering it for a moment, Tang Chen, who had been unruly all his life, suddenly cupped his fists and said in a grave voice,

"Brother Tuo Ba's strength is plain for all to see. You managed to make that old fellow Qian bleed, and I truly admire you for it. I do wish to challenge you.

"But... your Soul Power is nearly exhausted. Though I, Tang Chen, have loved fighting all my life, challenging you now, Brother Tuo Ba, would be taking advantage of your weakness.

"An old man like me couldn't bring himself to do that. We'll fight another time when the chance arises."

Tang Chen's words left not a single drop of water leaking through: he first complimented Tuo Ba Yun of the Black Dragon Sect, then gave the Clear Sky Sect a way to step down.

"You're too courteous, Sect Master Tang. We'll fight another time, then."

Tuo Ba Yun nodded.

He then swept a haughty gaze over the sects present, cupped his fists, and dismissed them.

"Today's founding ceremony for the Black Dragon Sect has concluded. Everyone, please return."

When he finished, members of several sects cautiously approached Tuo Ba Yun, cupped their fists in salute, and offered their well-wishes to the Black Dragon Sect before leaving.

From that point on, no one dared look down on the sect again.

Meanwhile, the Lower Four Sects and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, waited quietly for the other sects to leave.

Only then did they slowly approach Tuo Ba Yun to discuss cooperation.

Tuo Ba Yun waved a hand. "I'm a little tired today. Please return for now. If you wish to cooperate, we can discuss it in detail seven days from now."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Lower Four Sects understood the situation, and they nodded and left.

With no outsiders remaining in the Black Dragon Sect, Tuo Ba Yun returned to his room.

His two lovely wives immediately rushed over.

Tuo Ba Yun instantly fell unconscious, and Di Tian left.

Di Tian returned to the western sea of the Douluo Continent.

As though nothing had happened, he joined the five Ferocious Beasts in hunting hundred-thousand-year-old whale Soul Beasts.

One person did not take part. It was the Snow Woman.

After receiving guidance from Di Tian, Bi Ji, and the other Ferocious Beasts over the past few days, the Snow Woman had settled down completely.

She was studying Soul Cores.

Having gone out with the Ferocious Beasts to hunt whale beasts on several occasions,

she had discovered that, despite being a Ferocious Beast with five hundred thousand years of cultivation, her Soul Power did not last as long as Zi JI's and the others'.

This puzzled the Snow Empress greatly, and she observed them in secret for a long time.

She found her answer in Soul Cores.

So she promptly asked Di Tian and the others about them, and they told the Snow Empress everything without holding anything back.

After that, the six great Ferocious Beasts hunted whale beasts while the Snow Woman cultivated a Soul Core.

Time flew, and several more months passed in succession.

One day, Di Tian and the others discovered a whale beast at the Ferocious Beast level.

The Taixu Ancient Dragon was a full three hundred meters long, with a body as large as an ordinary island.

Its body was a translucent milky white, making it impossible to spot without looking closely.

The six great Ferocious Beasts fought it fiercely for a full half year before finally killing it.

This Ferocious Beast could turn intangible and become immune to physical attacks, and it also possessed an extremely powerful power of recovery.

Every time it neared death, it would unleash its most powerful ability—Whale Fall, All Things Live—and transform its body into a sea brimming with energy.

It replenished its life force and Soul Power, gaining a second spring.

This gave the Ferocious Beasts quite a headache.

If Bi Ji had not continuously supplied Di Tian and the others with energy, they might well have been unable to kill the Ferocious Beast, allowing it to escape.

And so, they pursued it for a full half year before finally hunting the Soul Beast down.

Di Tian stored a vast amount of Whale Rubber in his Soul Tool.

Naturally, the Ferocious Beast also dropped a Soul Bone.

It was a Taixu Whale Pearl.

Besides granting the ability to turn intangible briefly, the Whale Pearl, as Di Tian discovered when he tried it, could actually resonate with a Soul Core.

This was an extraordinary discovery.

Soul Core resonance could greatly increase the chance of successfully condensing a Second Soul Core. It was more precious than any Ferocious Beast Soul Bone.

That night, when the Ferocious Beasts began dividing up the Whale Rubber,

Di Tian refused to yield an inch over the Soul Bone, the Whale Pearl.

After he repeatedly insisted, the other Ferocious Beasts had no choice but to withdraw and let Di Tian have it.

Who told him to be so damn formidable?

Besides, they all bore slave marks.

There was nothing they could do.

Late that night, Di Tian called Bi Ji to his room.

As his first wife, she naturally deserved to be cherished, so he told her about the Whale Pearl's wondrous use.

Bi Ji was as happy as a child.

She said, "With this Whale Pearl, I can condense a Second Soul Core. I can keep up with you and accompany you a long, long way..."

"That's a long way off. First, keep me company tonight..." Di Tian smiled roguishly and swept Bi Ji, dressed in a long jade-green gown, into his arms.

That night, the two talked for a long time.

The lights blazed...
