Battle Against Sea Dragon Douluo

After Tang Chen and Tang San left, Tang Chen said with a grave expression, "Xiao San, once you complete the Black Tier Six Trial, make a trip to the Star Luo Empire's imperial family."

"The Star Luo Empire's imperial family?" Tang San looked at his great-grandfather in confusion.

Tang Chen stopped walking and looked at Tang San. "The Star Luo Empire's imperial family once had a legend about a God of War. He was the first emperor of the Star Luo Empire. When the time comes, go take a look. You may be able to find the path to godhood."

"The path to godhood..." Tang San was excited upon hearing this. His enemies, Zhao Zilong and Qian Renxue, had already inherited the God Positions of the Sea God and Angel God. If he wanted to stand against them, he could only do so by inheriting the God Position of another deity as well.

Time flew by, and nearly a year quickly passed. Only three days remained until the deadline for the Sea God's Sixth Trial.

Over the past year, both Zhao Zilong and Qian Renxue had greatly improved their Soul Power. After a year of cultivation, Qian Renxue's Soul Power had reached level 92. When she became a Titled Douluo, Bo Saixi had granted her a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, which was undoubtedly a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.

Zhao Zilong's Soul Power had also reached level 89, though he was still a little short of becoming a Titled Douluo.

Originally, Zhao Zilong had hoped to use the Sea God's Light to raise himself to the level of a Titled Douluo within a year, but it now seemed impossible.

"Young Master, Holy Son..." At that moment, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupine Douluo approached them.

"Elders, is something wrong?" Qian Renxue asked.

Snake Lance Douluo took out a letter from his Soul Tool and handed it to Qian Renxue. "Your Excellency the Pope has sent orders for us to return to the Spirit Hall Empire as soon as possible. She says the war is about to begin. The Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire have already formed an alliance, placing considerable pressure on our Spirit Hall Empire."

Qian Renxue read the contents of the letter, displeasure flashing in her eyes. She had thought the letter was for her and had even looked forward to it, only to discover that it was not. Its contents were entirely official. She handed it to Zhao Zilong. "It's mainly addressed to you."

Zhao Zilong read the letter, and a smile curled across his lips. "A great war is about to begin! In that case, the Asura God's Third Trial should be completed."

Zhao Zilong said seriously to Qian Renxue, "Qian Renxue, let's hurry and complete the Sea God's Sixth Trial as well. Tang San and Tang Chen left Sea God Island not long ago. Tang San's current strength is nothing to fear, but Tang Chen is a level 99 Limit Douluo. He could make an enormous difference on the battlefield."

"Then should we split up or stay together?" Qian Renxue asked coolly.

Zhao Zilong considered it before saying, "Together. Although the God Exam requires us to challenge the Seven Sacred Pillars one-on-one, after defeating them, the two of us must join forces against their combined attack. It would be better to gain a clearer understanding of the Seven Sacred Pillars' true strength and make sufficient preparations for the group battle afterward."

Qian Renxue largely agreed with Zhao Zilong's words. "Then which Sacred Pillar should we challenge first?"

"Sea Dragon Douluo. Among the Seven Sacred Pillars, he is the strongest. And according to Xiao Bai, his Demon Breaking Domain can dispel all domain abilities. Both of us possess domains, so I want to see just how powerful his Demon Breaking Domain truly is."

Soon afterward, Zhao Zilong and Qian Renxue arrived at the Sea Dragon Pillar. Looking at Sea Dragon Douluo, who sat cross-legged in the center of the pillar, Zhao Zilong grew phoenix wings from his back, flew across the pool, and landed before him. Cupping his fists, he said, "Sea Dragon Douluo."

Sea Dragon Douluo opened his eyes, a flash of blue appearing within them. Rising to his feet, he said, "Zhao Zilong, inheritor of Sea God Lord's legacy. I did not expect you to choose me as your first challenge."

Zhao Zilong grinned confidently. "Sea Dragon Douluo is the strongest among the Seven Sacred Pillars. After challenging you, I still have to challenge the remaining Sacred Pillars, so naturally I must face the strongest among them in my best condition."

"Mm, a very good idea. Then let this old man see whether you truly have the qualifications to become Sea God Lord's inheritor!" As he spoke, Sea Dragon Douluo summoned his Martial Soul, Sea Dragon. At the same time, nine spirit rings—Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black Black—appeared beneath his feet, and his powerful level 95 Soul Power pressed down upon Zhao Zilong.

"Blue Silver Domain..." Zhao Zilong immediately unleashed the Blue Silver Domain. He wanted to see whether Sea Dragon Douluo's domain could truly break his own.

"Hmph, a domain? Demon Breaking Domain..." Sea Dragon Douluo snorted. A black pressure instantly radiated from his body, and Zhao Zilong's Blue Silver Domain was immediately dispersed.

Seeing his Blue Silver Domain broken, Zhao Zilong teased, "Looks like your Demon Breaking Domain really can break any domain."

"That's right." Sea Dragon Douluo snorted confidently. "Although this old man's Demon Breaking Domain has no additional effects, it can dispel any domain effect. It is indeed of little use against Soul Masters without domains, but against Soul Masters like you who possess domains, my Demon Breaking Domain is your natural counter."

Zhao Zilong said mockingly, "I wouldn't call it a counter. It only pulls us onto the same level. Doesn't your domain have no additional effects? A domain skill like that is pretty useless."

"The same level? You think too highly of yourself. You are merely a level 89 Soul Douluo, while this old man is a level 95 Titled Douluo." As Sea Dragon Douluo spoke, his Soul Power formed a massive sea dragon. He roared, "Seventh Soul Skill—Sea Dragon True Body!"

Zhao Zilong immediately took out the Bright Silver Dragon Gall Bladder Spear from his Soul Tool. Sea Dragon Douluo frowned slightly and said coldly, "This old man has already used his Martial Soul Avatar, yet you still refuse to use your Martial Soul?"

"Oh, that's true. After all, my opponent is a Titled Douluo. If I didn't use my Martial Soul, it would seem as though I were looking down on Sea Dragon Douluo too much." Zhao Zilong chuckled teasingly. "Then, Seventh Soul Skill—Blue Silver True Body..."

"Sixth Soul Skill—Blue Silver Earth Spike..." Countless Blue Silver Earth Spikes shot toward Sea Dragon Douluo, but he showed no fear. With a cold snort, he said, "Sixth Soul Skill—Dragon Roar..."

In an instant, the countless Blue Silver Earth Spikes were destroyed. Sea Dragon Douluo charged straight at Zhao Zilong. As a Beast Martial Soul Master, close combat was his specialty, but what he did not know was that close combat was also one of Zhao Zilong's strengths.

"Fearless Charge, Triple Claw Strike..." Zhao Zilong immediately rushed forward as well, startling Sea Dragon Douluo. However, he quickly swung his fist in retaliation. "Eighth Soul Skill—Diamond Dragon Scales..." In an instant, a layer of dark blue dragon-scale armor appeared over Sea Dragon Douluo's body.

The spear and fist collided. Sea Dragon Douluo's fist was covered in Soul Power, and the hardness of his iron fists exceeded even steel. The spear scraped across Sea Dragon Douluo's body, sending sparks flying.

So hard... Zhao Zilong was shocked. He had not expected Sea Dragon Douluo's defense to be so formidable. With scales this tough, he wondered whether Acupoint Strike could break through them.

But Zhao Zilong was in no hurry. After the first two strikes of Triple Claw Strike, the third carried a guaranteed critical hit and was even more powerful. His spear pierced straight through Sea Dragon Douluo's dragon scales and stabbed fiercely into his arm.

"What a powerful attack—it actually pierced through my dragon-scale armor..." Sea Dragon Douluo was surprised as well. Yet the sight of his own blood only made his blood boil even more. He said excitedly, "That's it. This is what battle should be like. Sixth Soul Skill—Dragon Fist..."

"Acupoint Strike..."
