The High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique – "Emperor Seal"! Any random player could recount the detailed background of this technique.

Secret Dou Skill from the "Ancient Clan," one of the eight Ancient Clan.

This Dou Technique is divided into five types of seals: Mountain Opening, Sea Flipping, Earth Covering, Heaven Annihilation, and the most profound "Ancient Emperor Seal".

Each move is very powerful, and they can be combined to increase their power.

If one cultivates to perfection, the five seals combined will have a power "comparable" to Heaven Rank Dou Skills!

In the original novel, when Xiao Yan was at the Peak Dou Wang, he only learned the first move, "Mountain Splitting Seal".

When they fought against the Misty Cloud Sect at Yun Shan Sect, Yun Shan insisted on showing off and used the "Wind Fiend Annihilation Gang" technique to directly confront the "Mountain Splitting Seal".

As a result, Xiao Yan was indeed seriously injured, but Yun Shan's hand was also blasted by the Mountain Splitting Seal and bled.

The power of the "Emperor Seal" is evident in its ability to injure even Dou Wang or Dou Zong.

The Ancient Clan's cultural heritage is indeed so profound that it reaches the very core of the earth.

This young lady from the Ancient Clan could casually pull out any Dou Technique, and they would all be incredibly powerful Dou Technique like the "Emperor Seal."

Yang Shan was utterly devastated.

Senior!

My dear older sister!

The Ancient Realm is a blessed land, Northwest Continent is a remote and impoverished place, but it's still unfair to bully country folk like this!

Yang Shan took a second to think about how to block Xiao Xun'er's move.

Then, after half a second, he rejected the idea.

Block my ass! What are you going to use to block it?

Seeing that Xiao Xun'er's hand seal was complete, Yang Shan's Dou Qi was reduced by 100 points in one go.

"Mountain Splitting Seal!"

"Three Thousand Thunder Movement!"

Perhaps the pressure of facing Xiao Xun'er was simply too great.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Xun'er was willing to take the initiative to "report" to Yang Shan about the Dou Technique she used.

Anyway, Yang Shan did act impulsively for a while.

No matter what method he uses, he intends to shout it out.

To be honest, although shouting didn't make Yang Shan any faster, at least he got the right momentum.

This is similar to throwing out the two jokers in Dou Dizhu (a card game).

It seems like you'd be letting down your good hand if you didn't slam your cards down on the table and yell "Royal Flush!"

The Mountain Splitting Seal.

The name of this move is absolutely accurate.

After Yang Shan used the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" technique to dodge, the twenty-zhang-long Qi handprint crashed into a distant mountain peak.

As the energy exploded, the mountain shrank considerably! Yang Shan didn't even want to imagine what would happen if that hit a person. "Junior, snap out of it! Mountain Splitting Seal!"

Xiao Xun'er's reminder left Yang Shan speechless.

Such a powerful move, Time Acceleration is only two or three seconds, right?

With a clap of hands and a shout, they come at you? However, the basic cultivation requirement for the "Mountain Splitting Seal" in the "Emperor Seal" is the Dou Wang level.

Xiao Xun'er's current stats show her at the peak of the Five-Colored Word Seal Dou Huang Peak, so it seems reasonable that she would accelerate her power level.

It's like the Mystic Rank Intermediate Dou Skills, "Thunder Guiding Lock".

The standard Time Acceleration is 3 seconds.

However, Yang Shan is now at the Dou Huang Peak, and his Soul Strength has reached the Spirit Realm Middle Stage, so the activation speed has been compressed to about 1.5 seconds.

However, Yang Shan has yet to find a way to reduce the Time Acceleration of "The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls".

"The Emperor Seal" is, after all, High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique, so there could be other reasons as well.

But it's okay, we can ask Xiao Xun'er after we're done fighting.

Xiao Xun'er knew very well that her practical experience was far inferior to Yang Shan's.

So her current strategy is very simple.

One force can overcome all laws!

If Yang Shan is unable to respond to the attack, then Yang Shan chances of counterattacking will be greatly reduced.

The initiative can naturally be firmly held in one's hands.

But Yang Shan was prepared to turn the tables on Yang Shan.

Each use of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" consumes 100 points of Dou Qi. With the Mountain Splitting Seal being so powerful, it must consume at least 500 to 600 points!

Xiao Xun'er's total Dou Qi is equivalent to the Five-Colored Word Seal, but it absolutely cannot withstand such a continuous drain.

"Although my total Dou Qi is only gold, I have the Sea Heart Flame and the Scarlet Spirit Cloak to replenish it. If this continues, the advantage is in my hands! Hmm?"

Yang Shan was pondering how to use the "wear-down" tactic to defeat Xiao Xun'er.

Then, in a flash, he saw Xiao Xun'er winking at him and smiling sweetly.

Yang Shan was stunned.

He's currently in the activation period of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement"! His speed is approaching 20,000 points! Wasn't Xiao Xun'er standing perfectly fine on the stone platform? How did she suddenly appear here? Seeing that Xiao Xun'er's Mountain Splitting Seal was about to hit his face, Yang Shan had no choice but to activate "Strange Speed" and, combined with "Three Thousand Thunder Movement," his speed soared to a full 27,000 points.

Yang Shan, who appeared 500 feet away, began to break out in a cold sweat.

This was definitely the most stressful battle he had ever faced.

Xiao Xun'er, with her serene smile, possesses an even more outrageous sense of oppression than Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord!

This unexpected cuteness is not what Yang Shan wanted.

Yang Shan reminisced about the days when he stood behind Xiao Xun'er and shouted "666". "Junior brother, I forgot to tell you, my movement technique is called ' Flying Flame Mysterious Tracks ', which is also High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique."

Yang Shan: "My senior, can I swear at her?"

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior, will you scold me?"

Yang Shan: "No, so senior, please, please be gentle, okay?"

"No!"

Xiao Xun'er seemed particularly stubborn on this point:

"This is a dream. Even if I kill you, it won't do you any harm. If I hold back, this rare opportunity in the dream will be wasted."

Xiao Xun'er said earnestly:

"As a senior, you must properly train your juniors."

Yang Shan gritted her teeth and said, "Then, senior, I won't hold back either!"

Xiao Xun'er smiled, "Yes, I knew you were amazing, junior. You must have more than just these tricks up your sleeve."

This time, Yang Shan was truly determined to fight Xiao Xun'er to the death.

He had already started brainstorming, frantically thinking about where his chances of winning lay.

After analyzing it again and again.

There is only one way.

Win by speed!

This attribute that Yang Shan has been focusing on developing since the game's launch is ultimately his most reliable asset.

Men, be fast! Yang Shan activated the "Strange Speed" technique of the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning once again.

Dou Qi began to be consumed rapidly.

At the same time, Yang Shan also activated the "Boundless Sea" skill of the Sea Heart Flame.

Yang Shan's health dropped by 20% in an instant. In the next two minutes, his total Dou Qi will increase by 50%, and his recovery speed will double! For the next two minutes, Yang Shan will be the fastest Dou Emperor in the world!

Previously, when Yang Shan "Three Thousand Thunder Movement", the special effects were Crimson Thunder drawing long lines on the path, accompanied by the sound of electricity.

But now, with countless red lines in front of Xiao Xun'er's eyes and the constant crackling of electricity surrounding her, it was impossible for her to determine Yang Shan's exact location using her eyes and ears.

The next instant, the sound of electricity was drowned out by the sound of metal clashing.

If Xiao Xun'er can't catch Yang Shan, then she'll only be able to take a beating! Yang Shan, using the Blood Roar Blade in conjunction with the Tyrant Blade, attacked recklessly at maximum speed.

True Lord Hundred Blade Style - Frenzy Chop Style!

Xiao Xun'er's thick Dou Qi Armor began to dim at a visible speed.

If Yang Shan continues his attack like this, he probably won't last more than thirty seconds before exhausting his Vitality Shield.

With the Dou Qi Armor secured, Yang Shan's chances of winning have greatly increased! Xiao Xun'er said helplessly:

"Sigh, junior, there's really no way to counter your playing style."

Yang Shan: "Senior, you're too strong. There's nothing I can do but try to outrun you with speed."

Xiao Xun'er's "Flying Flame Mysterious Tracks" is similar to "Flying Floss Movement Technique" in that it can increase speed and agility for a long time.

Although its grade is too high, it can keep up with the growth rate of "Three Thousand Thunder Movement".

However, relying on the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, even the Flying Flame Mysterious Tracks couldn't keep up with Yang Shan at the same level.

Given Xiao Xun'er's current situation, unless she can produce a high-level Earth-rank Dou Technique that, like "Three Thousand Thunder Movement," provides explosive speed amplification, it will be difficult to achieve her goal.

Otherwise, she would indeed have no chance of retaliating.

However, "countermeasure" means "to launch a counterattack against an attack".

Xiao Xun'er may not be able to retaliate, but that doesn't mean she can't "cope".

Xiao Xun'er formed a complex hand seal with her hands once again, and then gently touched her brow with her fingers.

"Condense!"

As Xiao Xun'er uttered the word, golden flames surged around her, then quickly coalesced into a golden bell.

The Blood Roar Blade struck, causing the bells to ring melodiously.

The recoil almost made Yang Shan lose his grip on the Blood Roar Blade! "Junior, you're really amazing. You even forced out my life-saving defensive Dou Technique, ' Rock Flame Demon Suppression Bell)."

Xiao Xun'er seemed very innocent, and her tone was somewhat aggrieved.

It was as if Yang Shan had bullied them.

Yang Shan sensed that something was wrong.

Was Xiao Xun'er praising him or insulting him?

However, Yang Shan, who was already fully engaged in serious combat, was not affected by Xiao Xun'er's words.

His mind raced, and he immediately started chatting with Xiao Xun'er: "Senior, your life-saving defensive Dou Technique is really tough! What level is it? Is it high-level Earth Rank?"

Xiao Xun'er answered honestly, "No."

Yang Shan breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good."

Xiao Xun'er: "Let's calculate the Quasi-Heaven Rank."

Yang Shan: "."

Yang Shan never expected that the first time he had ever broken down since the game's launch would be because of his dearest senior! Is this the power of the Ancient Clan's young lady? This really broke through his defenses!

With Xiao Xun'er's setup, which player could go head-to-head with her? Wouldn't that be blatant masochism? But Yang Shan, this "die-hard player," always sticks to one principle: "Never give up" no matter what difficulties he faces! Existence is its own justification.

As long as you use the right methods and meet all the necessary conditions, there is no boss that cannot be defeated!

No matter how difficult the "Heart Demon Trial" is, its outcome is simply "being cleared".

If the "Heart Demon Trial" were not allowed to be completed by players at all, Tian Yao Company would have been destroyed by the vast player base long ago.

There must be a chance, there must still be a chance! With only thirty seconds left in the duration of "Boundless Sea", Yang Shan stopped attacking.

Instead, it unleashed a Thunderfire Overload towards Xiao Xun'er! The explosion completely buried Xiao Xun'er.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Shan vanished from the spot in an instant.

By the time Xiao Xun'er used the Golden Emperor Burning Flame to dispel the aftershocks, Yang Shan had already disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Xun'er closed her eyes, trying to sense Yang Shan's location.

Five seconds later, Xiao Xun'er opened her eyes and whispered, "As expected, I still can't beat my junior."

Yang Shan is currently downstream of the waterfall.

He retrieved all of the Sea Heart Flame into his Naling to prevent Xiao Xun'er from using the special connection between the Heavenly Flames to find him.

With Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning looming beneath his skin, Yang Shan gripped a boulder at the bottom of the river, trying to stay as still as possible to avoid being swept away by the current.

At this moment, Yang Shan seemed to have merged with the boulder, devoid of any trace of life.

"Emperor Seal", "Flying Flame Mysterious Tracks", and "Rock Flame Demon Suppression Bell".

These three Dou Technique are all incredibly powerful!

Moreover, they are all top-tier Dou Technique that surpass the previous versions!

At this stage, it is absolutely impossible for players to obtain this level of Dou Technique through any normal channels!

Xiao Xun'er's true strength is far beyond the Dou Huang Peak.

In other words, even Xiao Xun'er learned these Dou Technique at the Dou Zong or even Dou Zun stage! But in the Heart Demon Trial, Xiao Xun'er, who was suppressed to the Dou Huang Peak, used these three Dou Technique in succession. How could her consumption be small?

Yang Shan is currently hiding in the shadows. As long as he is not discovered, Xiao Xun'er will have to maintain the "Rock Flame Demon Suppression Bell" at all times to prevent Yang Shan from launching a surprise attack.

Maintaining a defensive Dou Technique at the Quasi-Heaven Rank must be extremely difficult for Xiao Xun'er, who is at the Dou Huang Peak!

Even if Xiao Xun'er's total Dou Qi reaches the level of "Five-Colored Word Seal", she absolutely cannot withstand it!

Yang Shan uses his brain when playing games!

Having thoroughly analyzed the situation, Yang Shan grasped the key to breaking the deadlock! Things seemed to be going smoothly, and Xiao Xun'er didn't make a move for a long time.

Yang Shan now only needs to wait for Xiao Xun'er's Dou Qi to be completely exhausted.

Xiao Xun'er is probably carefully considering how to deal with this situation right now.

But her Dou Qi will gradually fade away as she spends more time thinking! Yang Shan now only needs to calm down and wait patiently.

Patience is something that Old Schemer never lack!

"The advantage is in my hands!"

Just as Yang Shan was grinning wickedly, a strange creature appeared in his line of sight.

It has a rounded body and looks somewhat like a seal.

Its body is covered with short brown hair.

Its beak is similar to a duck's beak, but it is black. The junction between its beak and face is slightly higher, and it has two small eyes that are staring at him.

"A platypus? No way! Do such things even exist on the Dou Qi Continent?"

After about two seconds, the platypus slowly swam away.

Yang Shan felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

After swimming far away, the platypus floated to the shore and touched the foreleg of the river Spirit Deer with its beak.

The Spirit Deer raised its head, and a Spirit Sparrow landed on its antlers before taking flight again.

Yang Shan can only sense Xiao Xun'er's Dou Qi fluctuations through his soul perception.

He could tell whether Xiao Xun'er was using her fighting Dou Qi to do other things.

But he couldn't see that a Spirit Sparrow had already flown to Xiao Xun'er's side, chirping away.

Xiao Xun'er seemed to understand what the Spirit Sparrow was saying, and kept nodding.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

The Spirit Sparrow circled Xiao Xun'er three more times before flying to a tree branch not far away.

It continued to chirp, seemingly cheering Xiao Xun'er on.

"What exactly is wrong? Or am I just being paranoid?"

While Yang Shan was still pondering the platypus, the Sea Heart Flame within his Dantian Naling seemed to be emerging again, ready to protect its master.

Sensing the water temperature gradually rising, Yang Shan subconsciously turned around.

"Junior, I've found you!"

Xiao Xun'er is as beautiful as a celestial being.

But now, upon seeing Xiao Xun'er, Yang Shan turned pale with fright.

It was like seeing a ghost.
