Suppressing Them with One Palm

Although Mu Zhe's attitude was somewhat strange, and he seemed to bear them no deep malice, Meng Yiran still felt somewhat lost and anxiously looked toward Snake Crone.

"I don't know either. Let's wait here."

Snake Crone's expression returned to calm, though she was equally uneasy inside. Still, she could tell that Mu Zhe was genuinely interested in them.

Otherwise, he would not have repeatedly spared Meng Yiran, much less reasoned with them now.

Yet not to mention Dragon Duke, even she found it hard to accept becoming someone else's subordinate.

And with Mu Zhe subduing them in such a forceful manner, calling them subordinates would be less accurate than calling them slaves.

In short, if Dragon Duke refused to yield, neither would she.

Even if Mu Zhe was stronger than them.

"Where is this? Weren't we just in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Mu Zhe's Inner World.

He might as well put on a little show to scare him.

Mu Zhe wore a surprised expression and asked in confusion.

But the land beneath their feet was completely barren. Even if they wanted to flee, where could they possibly run?

Why did my Soul Skill... fall straight into the ground?

That was what puzzled me most and what I wanted to know most.

Dragon Staff and Snake Crone both swallowed hard. Before their eyes, the dragon and serpent summoned by their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had already been scattered by a single slap.

"Buzz!!"

Perhaps his Martial Soul and Soul Skills were merely unusual.

"Fine, take this!"

Yet the next instant, he abruptly fell silent.

After two roars, the dragon and serpent pounced toward Mu Zhe. He slowly raised one hand, and dark clouds gathered overhead once more as something terrifying gradually emerged.

Still, seeing the anger in Snake Crone's eyes, he felt just as stifled. He no longer hesitated and summoned Dragon Duke and Snake Crone's Serpent Cane, pressing them together.

It had to be said that a Soul Sage or Soul Fighting Douluo was indeed very strong.

But what shocked him even more was that Mu Zhe was actually... walking through the air?

Even if Qian Daoliu himself came, he would have to kneel before me.

Yet after only an instant, he shook his head again. Judging by Mu Zhe's performance just now, his Spiritual Power was indeed formidable, and his Soul Power was extremely strange as well.

Dragon Staff snorted disdainfully. Mu Zhe's movements truly carried no imposing force. At the very least, the Soul Power around him had not fluctuated much.

Dragon Staff was somewhat startled and hurriedly stopped. He turned back as well, then dragged Snake Crone back after realizing it was a person.

Mu Zhe suddenly appeared before Dragon Staff and chuckled.

Across heaven and earth, it was as though he had become the sole ruler.

Fake. Obviously fake!

Damn it!

"But why are your Spirit Rings so strange?!"

All at once, an unmatched pressure surged through heaven and earth, and terrifying Soul Power fluctuations swept in every direction.

Yet the joy in his heart quickly faded, turning instead into utter bewilderment.

"But if you still can't withstand one strike from me, heh heh..."

Mu Zhe's Inner World was attached to him, and he himself existed within the Douluo Continent. As long as he wished it, those inside would naturally see a clear blue sky and broad daylight.

"Hmm?"

A giant hand descended from the heavens, carrying unmatched might as it smashed into the dragon and serpent. Instantly, towering ripples erupted, and terrifying shockwaves swept outward, even waking some old bastard who had been suppressed underground.

Mu Zhe was somewhat surprised.

"Impossible! A Soul Master's Spirit Rings can't look like this. Fake! This must be fake!"

"This is merely a space far from the Star Dou Great Forest. What is the problem?"

But Dragon Staff had already been shocked speechless.

Dragon Staff was so angry that he laughed. No longer holding back, the ninth Spirit Ring surrounding Dragon Duke flashed.

But they quickly came to their senses. If it was Mu Zhe, why the hell would he be screaming?

At least Dragon Staff had been warming up earlier. But the moment she entered the fray, she had to face Mu Zhe's overwhelming methods. Naturally, she found it hard to accept.

Then he looked toward that young figure, his eyes filled with fear, though a trace of anger remained within them.

Leaving aside the fact that it was impossible to find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, even if you found one, could you kill it? Even if you killed it, could you absorb its ring? Weren't you afraid it would make you explode?

"You're only a Soul King!"

He had long expected it. Running was useless—they could not outrun that youth. After all, the damn brat could fly!

"What do we do now?"

Dragon Staff hurriedly grabbed Snake Crone's hand, gathered all his Soul Power beneath his feet, and fled into the distance.

"You think you're some monkey, trying to escape my Seven Finger Mountain? Oh, it seems even the monkey failed to escape."

After recovering slightly, Snake Crone looked at Dragon Staff in terror and asked.

Dragon Staff shook his head again and cried out in disbelief.

"I wasn't torturing you out of some twisted amusement. It's just that this old man kept underestimating me and only now used his ultimate move."

"If Mu Zhe uses those two Dragon Shadows again to block it, I can still accept that."

"Run. He is an invincible existence. Escaping may be our only chance of survival."

"Rumble rumble!!"

This place was far from the Star Dou Great Forest. That old woman and Yiran should be safe now. Even without me, they could easily leave the forest.

Still, if he wanted to subdue Dragon Duke, he had to make himself seem a little more impressive.

Qu Shan cried out in alarm, but the next instant, a figure abruptly appeared before him.

The dragons and serpents coiled around Dragon Duke and Snake Crone's canes seemed to come alive. They struggled free of the canes' restraints and swelled rapidly in the wind.

Heh. Ptooey!

After checking that Dragon Staff was not seriously injured, Snake Crone spoke coldly. Qu Shan, meanwhile, wore an odd expression. Judging by the might of Mu Zhe's attack just now, it was no weaker than a Titled Douluo's.

After seeing clearly, she spoke again.

But it was flashy without substance. At least, he did not believe Mu Zhe's Soul Power had reached the level of a Titled Douluo.

"Rumble rumble!!"

Suddenly, a resonant hum echoed across heaven and earth.

Countless starlights flickered in the sky. The next instant, they fell like Meteors, carrying violent energy.

Yet what baffled Dragon Staff was why this Soul Pressure felt so real.

But Dragon Staff's strength compared to Flender's had nothing to do with him. He was the ruler of this world—why would he fear Dragon Staff's ninth Soul Skill?

A terrifying force pressed down upon him, making Dragon Staff's heart tremble.

Dragon Staff looked at Qu Shan, his face filled with fear, though his eyes carried a trace of unwillingness.

Mu Zhe felt that he was still quite kind-hearted. At the very least, he had preserved all their strength while forcibly recruiting them.

Then he felt countless strange forces flood into his body. At times they were bone-chillingly cold, at times they burned like raging flames. There was even a bizarre White Shadow charging straight for the crown of his head, sending waves of dizziness through him.

"You're seriously doing this?!"

"May I ask you a question?"

"If you can't withstand it, let us leave this place and stop pestering us."

"What? Didn't you say this place was far from the Star Dou Great Forest? Could it be that you still have a way to send us..."

"How was that? Didn't I suppress you with one palm?"

Yes. As his Spirit Ring levels rose, his Soul Skills constantly gained additional effects, such as concealing his aura and blocking perception. Those were the ones he used most often.

They stared blankly at Dragon Duke and Snake Crone's figures. They truly resembled gods, invincible and unbeatable.

"Of course not. But it's enough to deal with you."

Qu Shan smiled faintly. At this moment, he truly found the youth rather interesting. Not only was he extraordinarily talented, he was also so reasonable.

But all of a sudden, those Meteors passed straight through Mu Zhe's body and crashed into the ground.

"I think we stepped on someone."

What the hell!

"Roar!!"

"Hmph. I acknowledge your strength, but don't dream of making me submit. I am a man nearing death. Why would I fear death? But I will never be another man's slave!"

"Of course. If I cannot withstand this attack, I naturally would not dare continue pestering you."

"Seems so. It feels a little wrong underfoot."

Absurd to the extreme!

"Hiss!!"

Mu Zhe's palm pressed down, and the vortex had already taken on a strange form.

In an instant, they transformed into two terrifying beasts nearly a hundred zhang long.

Dragon Staff and Snake Crone swung their canes down fiercely. The two dragons and serpents followed their wills, entwining around each other as they pounced toward Mu Zhe.

After resting for a moment, Dragon Staff was a hero once more.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mu Zhe's lips. After waiting so long, Dragon Staff had finally unleashed his ultimate move.

Dragon Staff looked down at his body, and his face immediately turned ashen.

Dragon Staff's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. Even that terrifying Soul Pressure did not shock him as much as the colors of those Spirit Rings.

"Boom!!"

As everyone knew, Spirit Rings came in five colors: white, yellow, purple, black, and red. Red Spirit Rings represented Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings.

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

Only by letting them use their strongest ultimate move, then scattering it with a slap, could he make them understand that he was invincible.

Qu Shan sent out his Spiritual Power, but the result remained the same. He was certain Mu Zhe had never disappeared. The Soul Skill had truly passed straight through him.

Absurd. This was fucking absurd!!

"Let's use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Mu Zhe's expression returned to calm, though a teasing smile faintly curved his lips.

Mu Zhe shook his head indifferently. Without another word, he attacked directly.

Snake Crone looked confused and turned around. Something seemed to be lying on the ground.

Mu Zhe truly intended to suppress him with one palm.

Mu Zhe chuckled to himself. As his palm fell, the giant hand from the heavens tore through layers of space and struck Dragon Staff in an instant.

Otherwise, if Mu Zhe were only slightly stronger than them, why the hell would he submit?

Then Dragon Staff saw in horror that Mu Zhe had appeared before him out of thin air.

"I naturally have the right to be arrogant. Watch as I suppress you with one palm."

"Aah!!"

"Far from the Star Dou Great Forest?!"

Seeing that Qu Shan said nothing, Mu Zhe was not angered and continued asking, "Now then, will you consider joining my ranks?"

Also, why had I gotten shorter?

Perhaps whoever existed in this damned place was the key to breaking this deadlock.

Once again, a terrifying fluctuation surged between heaven and earth, faintly dispersing some of Mu Zhe's imposing presence. But that was all it did.

Meteors rained down from the sky, covering an area nearly a hundred meters wide. Even if Mu Zhe possessed a teleportation Soul Skill, escaping would be difficult.

Damn it!

In an instant, the Qu Shan in his hand emitted a boundless radiance. After a long while, the light faded, and a massive Qu Shan appeared in its place.

"Gulp!"

"Buzz!!"

In the blink of an eye, Dragon Staff's Martial Soul Avatar was forcibly dispelled, and he crashed to the ground.

"Qu Shan, do you know what you're saying? Have you considered your wife and child?"

So it was not that I had gotten shorter. My waist had been bent by the pressure!

And their Martial Soul Fusion Skill could only contend briefly against a Titled Douluo. If they forcibly fought Mu Zhe...

Also, his thoughts had been subtly influenced. Why did he now feel that this youth could be considered an outstanding talent?

In an instant, incomparably terrifying might erupted from Qu Shan and the Serpent Cane. Even the lingering shadows around them were slightly dispersed.

If they truly unleashed their Soul Skills or Martial Soul Avatars, their might absolutely could not be underestimated.

"Old... old man, what... is that?!"

And he had previously been able to instantly kill Soul Sages only because he had relied on sneak attacks and his extreme Soul Power.

Black, red, black, blue, red. Moreover, traces of red had already begun to stain the black of his first and sixth Spirit Rings.

Mu Zhe looked surprised. The dragon and serpent churned like raging seas, flicking their tongues as terrifying pressure and sound waves surged toward him.

Something was wrong with this plot!

Dragon Staff snorted coldly. At that point, he understood everything. No wonder the youth's Soul Power had seemed so strange earlier—he was merely a puny Soul King.

"Speak."

Mu Zhe still wore that faint smile at the corner of his lips. He swiftly raised his hand, then heavily pressed it down, looking so relaxed and at ease.

"First Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Bzz!!"

"That's your Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dragon Snake Combined Attack!"

And Xiuer...

There was no risk of falling!

At the Dragon Staff's current level, even if Flender came and activated his Martial Soul Avatar, he would only be instantly killed. Even though there was only an eight-rank difference in our Soul Power.

Snake Crone had to be here too. Mu Zhe would definitely suppress me with a single palm.

I looked around, my eyes deep, but I still could not make out any clues.

For some inexplicable reason, staying here made me feel as if the person before me had been elevated without limit. The current Mu Zhe was practically a completely different person from before.

If Mu Zhe knew what Qu Shan was thinking right now, he would definitely be utterly baffled.

Mm, Dragon Staff still had not brought out his strongest combat power. Naturally, he remained confident in himself, believing Mu Zhe was merely somewhat strange.

"That's it? You think you're a god descending to the mortal world, trying to suppress me with one palm?"

"There are other people in this damned place?"

Mm, Qu Shan was secretly delighted. This was exactly what he thought at the moment.

Even if Mu Zhe used his wife and child to threaten him into submission, he still had to see all of Mu Zhe's strength.

"Old woman, did we step on something?"

"What?!"

"Hehe, I have to say, you are the most arrogant young man I have ever seen."

Dragon Duke's pupils suddenly constricted as he uneasily surveyed the surroundings.

He did not dare doubt the truth of Mu Zhe's words in the slightest. Based on that imposing might alone, he felt that even a genuine Titled Douluo would perish!

Snake Crone's hand holding the Serpent Cane suddenly trembled. She stared fearfully at the overwhelming force above the heavens and said shakily.

Mu Zhe stood in midair. As his hand moved, the sky above his head followed, and the shadows filling the heavens turned into a vortex, exuding supreme majesty.

"Hmph, brat, don't spout nonsense. No matter how bizarre your methods are, you cannot cross the gulf between ranks!"

"Old man, how did you get so badly injured?!"

He had even started with a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring from the second Spirit Ring onward. He had even fucking produced blue Spirit Rings.

Letting Snake Crone in had naturally been intentional on his part.

Qu Shan had already transformed into Qu Shan's form and darted into the distance. His speed was so fast that Snake Crone frowned deeply.

Qu Shan's eyes were clear as he focused all his mind on the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, yet his gaze remained fixed on Mu Zhe.

"Two seniors, please save me. If you get me out, I will definitely come to thank you in person another day."

But did he think he could equip hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings just because he wanted to?

Dragon Staff and Snake Crone were both startled, thinking Mu Zhe had caught up with them. Their hair instantly stood on end.

Mu Zhe's expression turned strange. He could understand Dragon Staff and Flender's fear after his status had been elevated, but why did they still seem somewhat fearful of this world?

At this moment, Dragon Staff was breathing heavily, his eyes trembling, his robes soaked through with cold sweat.

However, Spirit Rings actually no longer served much purpose on Mu Zhe. Even without relying on Spirit Rings, he could still produce many additional effects.

"Where is this?" Dragon Staff asked.

Although he doubted Mu Zhe's Spirit Rings, faced with that terrifying might and Soul Power pressure, how could Dragon Staff remain calm? He hurriedly activated his Martial Soul Avatar.

Dragon Staff cried out in terror. Only now did he see clearly that it was fucking... truly a palm!

"Could you be... a Titled Douluo?" Dragon Staff could not help asking.

The things this young man had equipped were completely beyond his understanding.
