Dou Sheng Yao Chen Is Terrifying Beyond Measure; Even Giving It Everything, One Cannot Defeat Him

The moment his hand was grabbed, Gu You's expression changed drastically, for he discovered that his Dou Qi circulation had come to a standstill! This sight naturally shocked Gu You. He abruptly looked up and saw a white-haired figure hovering in the air behind Xiao Yuan. That familiar face made him cry out in disbelief.

"Yao Chen? How is that possible!"

Gu You immediately noticed that Yao Lao's body was no longer illusory as before, and had even become much younger. It was clearly a real body. What made Gu You's heart sink the most was the terrifying aura that Yao Lao exuded. The strength of that aura surprised even him.

"Teacher, it seems everything is going well!"

When Gu You's attack was blocked, Xiao Yuan immediately flashed to protect Yao Lao in front of him and said with a smile.

"Um"

The Yao Lao smiled slightly at Xiao Yuan, then slowly said, "Little fellow, you go help the others first. I'll take care of these two."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded. With his exceptional soul perception, he could naturally sense that Yao Lao's aura was now extremely terrifying. Even Gu You in front of him and the Third Heavenly Venerable in the distance could not compare to it. In fact, this aura could be said to be the strongest that Xiao Yuan had seen in recent years. Without a doubt, with the help of the Dou Sheng Skeleton and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Blood Essence, Yao Lao had advanced to the Dou Sheng level! Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then his figure gracefully retreated under Gu You's slightly gloomy gaze.

"Yao Chen, do you really think that by restoring your peak strength, you can contend with my Soul Hall?"

Although he desperately wanted to stop Xiao Yuan, Gu You understood that Yao Chen in front of him had once again become the renowned Venerable Yao, or rather, he had gone a step further and was now Advanced Half-Saint, just like him!

"The Soul Hall is not the strongest in the world. You have many powerful opponents, and some are restrained and dare not act rashly. As long as some people don't make a move, someone like you can't threaten me!" Yao Lao smiled faintly, but his smile was tinged with a hint of coldness. "Today, the Soul Hall launched a large-scale attack, and you even injured my disciple. This debt must be repaid."

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Gu You stood in the void, his eerie green eyes fixed on Yao Lao, who was holding his hand, and said in a hoarse voice.

As he uttered his last word, a billowing black mist suddenly surged from the skull cane in his hand. In the blink of an eye, this black mist filled half the sky. This black mist was filled with extremely cold energy, so even though the temperature in the world was extremely high at the moment, it did not dissipate. Instead, under the control of Gu You, it quickly condensed into a huge black skull. This black skull was nearly a thousand feet tall and stood in the sky like a skeletal evil god. The billowing black mist churned on its body, and a cold pressure swept out from the skull, making the souls of most people present feel as if they were in a cold pool, appearing exceptionally cold.

"The Dark Skeleton King actually summoned this thing with a single move. It seems Gu You Nether is quite wary of Yao Chen."

Gazing at the enormous black skeleton standing in the sky, the Third Heavenly Venerable seemed lost in thought. This so-called black skeleton was a relatively rare Low-Level Heaven Rank Dou Technique. Mastering it allowed one to use their own Dou Qi and the energy of heaven and earth to condense into a skeleton king in this form. This skeleton king was as hard as diamond, impervious to water and fire, and every part of its body contained extremely cold and yin energy. If an ordinary expert were to be hit by this yin wind, their body might not be seriously injured, but their soul would be instantly eroded. Therefore, this thing was quite insidious.

With the current strength of Gu You Half-Saint, the black skeleton summoned by Bone Nether when he uses this Dou Technique at full power is terrifyingly powerful. Even some experts who have reached the same Half-Saint level have to be cautious when facing this big guy, which shows how troublesome this Black Skeleton King is.

"Go!"

Summoning a massive black skeleton, Gu You broke free from Yao Lao's grasp, his figure growing taller until he stood above the skeleton. He pointed his cane at Yao Lao, and two eerie green lights immediately emerged from the skeleton's empty eyes. With a single stride across the sky, Gu You appeared directly in front of Yao Lao, his skeletal hand, shrouded in a chilling black mist, easily tore through space before slamming down on Yao Lao's head.

Faced with the terrifying attack of the skeleton, Yao Lao remained calm. The pale white Bone Spirit Cold Flame suddenly surged out from his body and finally collided fiercely with the black skeleton's bone palm.

"Hiss!"

The two collided, producing a sharp hissing sound. The extreme cold and heat caused the black skull to emit bursts of slightly foul-smelling white mist, which eventually spread out.

Seeing that Yao Chen had blocked his attack with just the Bone Spirit Gu You Bone Spirit Cold Flame without using any Dou Technique, Gu You felt a sense of foreboding! This Yao Chen had just recovered his physical body, yet his strength was already so formidable?

The Gu You- green eyes flickered for a moment, then its withered hands formed a strange hand seal. At the same time, a strange shout came from its mouth.

"Roar!"

As the Gu You's shout fell, the black skeleton, which was locked in a stalemate with the Bone White Flame, suddenly trembled. Streams of black mist surged out of its body, covering the sky. A shrill scream echoed through the heavens. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the black mist was actually formed by the convergence of countless souls.

"Bang bang bang!"

Countless souls surged out and exploded upon contact with the Bone White Flame. The sheer power of such a large number of souls exploding simultaneously was enough to make even Xiao Yuan's heart tremble. He knew that even if he tried his best, he would probably find it difficult to withstand such an attack!

However, Xiao Yuan, whose soul power was strong enough, quickly discovered that after the Soul Explosion, a portion of the energy was actually absorbed by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame! At the same time, the black skeleton's body suddenly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it went from a thousand feet in size to ten feet. However, although its size decreased, the skeleton's body appeared even darker, and a terrifying cold energy slowly spread from the skeleton's body.

"Heh heh heh, let this old man test the skills of you, newly promoted Half-Saint!"

The skeleton slowly raised its head, and as it chewed its jaws, it actually let out a strange laugh. It was the voice of the Gu You. This old guy was actually able to merge his soul with this skeleton.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's expression changed slightly. He turned his gaze to the direction where Gu You had been earlier and saw an old figure standing there motionless, his eyes empty and lifeless, clearly just an empty shell.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and rushed towards the Fourth Heavenly Venerable, Blood River Venerable.

At the same time, two more clones also gathered from not far away, because the Soul Hall Heavenly Venerable they were dealing with was now dead beyond any doubt!

As soon as the black skull finished speaking, its figure flashed and appeared directly in front of Yao Lao. A crack slowly appeared where its bone palm, gleaming with a dense black light, struck. The mere force of the palm strike was enough to overwhelm the space itself, demonstrating just how terrifying the strength of this Gu You and the attack it was launching were.

However, Yao Lao merely glanced indifferently at Gu You, then compressed the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to its limit, transforming it into a crystalline glove that condensed on his palm. With a light tap of his palm, the black skull's palm was actually cracked in several places, and its body was directly knocked back more than a hundred feet, with a muffled groan coming from its throat!

"Third brother, come with me and attack!"

Sensing that Yao Lao was not easy to deal with, Gu You's voice rang out again.

Such a spectacular battle in the sky naturally attracted the attention of the powerful figures in the distance. Some of these powerful figures were quite experienced, so they recognized Yao Lao at a glance, and immediately, a series of shocked voices rang out.

"That person is Venerable Yao Chen? He's actually still alive?!"

"Wasn't it said that Yao Chen had lost his body and his strength had greatly diminished? How come even Half-Saint expert is no match for him now?"

"Yao Chen's strength has increased dramatically this time. It seems that the Starfall Pavilion's great calamity has been resolved. Moreover, with a Medicine Venerable at the Half-Saint level—no, Medicine Saint — the Starfall Pavilion's reputation and strength will skyrocket in an instant. Even the two sects will be unable to contend with it!"

Whispers filled the air, tinged with a complex mix of emotions. Many exchanged glances, their eyes filled with complicated feelings. The reappearance of Yao Chen, the Venerable Yao, in Central State, and his breakthrough to the Half-Saint level, forcing two Half-Saint from the Soul Hall to join forces, was undoubtedly big news. Some of the older generation of powerhouses had a deep understanding of the influence Yao Lao had once held in Central State! Although many years had passed, Yao Chen's title as the Number One Alchemist in Central State remained unchallenged. Even the three giants of the Danta had to admit that in the art of alchemy, they were inferior to Yao Chen by a significant margin.

Now that this long-lost number Number One Alchemist of Central State and even the continent has reappeared, the shock and turmoil he has caused will naturally be earth-shattering!

Many people have already begun to regret it.

The current Yao Chen is no longer the Venerable Yao! He is now the Medicine Saint, already considered a top expert on this continent. What attracts even more attention is his exquisite alchemy skills. With the improvement of his strength, many people who know about Yao Lao's alchemy skills know that perhaps Yao Lao's alchemy skills will go even further, and he will become a true Ninth Grade Alchemist!

Such alchemy skills are extremely rare, even on the entire Douqi Continent!

"Hmph, I see you're nothing special! With your current Dou Qi reserves, you certainly won't be able to unleash such a powerful Dou Technique again!"

Although the Fourth Heavenly Venerable Blood River was besieged by Xiao Yuan's two clones, they were not flustered at all.

His blood energy surged to the heavens, and he unleashed a secret technique, causing a thick cloud of blood to gather above his head, forcefully raising his strength to the Three-Star Dou Zun Peak!

Xiao Yuan did indeed seem to lack Dou Qi, and he didn't use any powerful Dou Technique. He just kept his distance after the exchange, which looked like he was just stalling for time.

The Yao Lao had been watching Xiao Yuan's situation closely, but he knew his disciple all too well!

This kid must be really frustrated. With his alchemy skills, combat experience, and solid foundation, there's no way that the battle just now could have depleted his Dou Qi to such a restrained state! "Try this move of mine!"

The Fourth Heavenly Venerable Blood River confidently revealed a ferocious smile. Then, he opened his mouth and a pillar of blood shot out, directly into the blood cloud in the sky. Instantly, its color darkened further, and the blood cloud churned violently. Suddenly, the blood cloud abruptly split open, and a blood-red palm print nearly a thousand feet in size burst out from within the blood cloud amidst countless horrified gazes, and then slammed fiercely towards Xiao Yuan.

"Blood Fiend Heavenly Demon Palm!"

However, Xiao Yuan, who was targeted by the attack, showed no intention of resisting. Instead, he revealed a smile that was familiar to the Fourth Heavenly Venerable, Blood River.

That smile just now almost killed him.

So, who is this kid trying to trick now? The Fourth Heavenly Venerable Blood River looked around, and suddenly seemed to realize something. He couldn't help but shiver and looked up.

High in the sky, Xiao Yuan's true form appeared behind Gu You, and that terrifyingly powerful soul force rushed straight into Gu You's body, which was standing still in the air!

Meanwhile, Gu You, still inside the black skull, felt a tearing pain deep within his soul. But compared to this pain, the feeling of losing connection between his soul and body terrified him even more! Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yuan wave his hand, smilingly using his Heavenly Flames to initially refine Bone You's body, erasing all the Soul Imprint within, and then stuffing it into his Storage Ring! Damn it Gu You was truly on edge this time. He had fought a desperate battle with Yao Chen, and that piece of trash Blood River had actually let Xiao Yuan escape and even taken his body? How was he supposed to fight now? "Bastard, give me back my body!"

The black skeleton possessed by the Gu You trembled violently with rage, and the black mist surged, clearly indicating that it was extremely furious.

The next moment, he tore through space, intending to slap Xiao Yuan to death.

However, by this moment, Yao Lao had almost adapted to the power of Dou Sheng Expert! "Freeze!"

The Yao Lao didn't rush off; he simply spoke lightly, as if he had done something insignificant.

However, as soon as the words were spoken, a terrifying power enveloped the Starfall Pavilion! As a result, all the experts from the Soul Hall and the Tianming Sect were rendered immobile, as if frozen in place!

"Since you still want to harm my disciple, then stay here!"

The Yao Lao stretched out his palm towards the direction of the black skull and clenched it from afar.

Click!

Space shattered, and the black skull was compressed into a black bone ball by an immense force, before turning into dust!

Dou Sheng Expert is terrifying!
