Roar—!
The roar crashed like thunder, shaking heaven and earth.
Within the thunderclouds, a dragon's head slowly emerged, accompanied by a pair of metallic dragon eyes.
Hum!
A terrifying draconic aura descended, and the soul beasts instantly submitted.
As for the soul masters with dragon-type martial souls, they knelt in terror on the spot.
"Th-this, how is this possible?!"
Yu Yuanzhen, without even activating his martial soul, had begun to dragonize involuntarily, staring in horror at the colossal figure.
In that moment, A single name surfaced in everyone's mind.
The Beast God, Di Tian!
Only he could make the three pinnacle experts feel such pressure.
Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and Tang Chen all wore grave expressions. "So this is the sovereign of all soul beasts?"
"Truly terrifying!"
"Human..."
Di Tian's gaze was sharp as it swept across the crowd, finally landing on Li Xuan, who stood apart from the others. Everyone else followed his line of sight.
Instantly, waves of invisible pressure surged toward him.
Li Xuan lightly brushed his hand, blocking them.
He stood with his hands behind his back, facing the crowd.
Di Tian's deep voice rang out: "You carry the aura of a god. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud—is it in your hands?"
At once, Everyone's eyes turned to scanners, trying to see through him completely.
"You are... the God-Slaying Douluo?!"
Someone shouted.
The soul masters of the major powers all changed expression upon hearing this.
He was of the same generation as Tang Hao, and had once crushed Tang Hao and others so thoroughly they couldn't lift their heads. He emerged to challenge the major powers, then vanished without a trace after breaking through to Titled Douluo.
No one expected him to appear here.
Li Xuan chuckled lightly: "I never imagined anyone would still remember this one's title. Truly flattering."
"God-Slaying..."
Di Tian, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi—the four pinnacle experts—spoke with undisguised disdain in their voices. "You dare to call yourself God-Slayer? What boldness!"
"This Seat will give you a chance!"
Qian Daoliu flicked his sleeve and said: "Hand over the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and you may leave here safely today!"
In his view, no matter how extraordinary a junior's talent, they could never catch up to him in such a short time.
In truth, it wasn't just him.
Bo Saixi and Tang Chen thought the same.
Bo Saixi spoke: "Though you blaspheme the gods by calling yourself God-Slayer, considering your remarkable talent, bring the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and return with me to Sea God Island. Perhaps you may unlock the Sea God's inheritance."
As the High Priestess, she naturally wouldn't seize it by force.
As long as the Sea God hadn't ordered his execution, a delaying tactic would suffice.
Tang Chen was different. His face bore killing intent, and he said nothing.
Clearly, only slaughter could solve the problem.
"Interesting~"
Li Xuan raised his hand, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud appeared in his palm.
A gentle ocean force surged forth, refreshing the minds of everyone present.
"Gentlemen, I quite agree with your words. Divine treasures of this world go to those capable!"
Li Xuan laughed lightly: "If you have the skill, come and take it!"
Silence—!
Heaven and earth fell still.
Everyone stared at Li Xuan in disbelief.
Was this man insane!?
Daring to challenge the four pinnacle experts?
"Arrogant!!!"
Tang Chen, the most bloodthirsty of them all, charged out first, his state fully unleashed. The Clear Sky Hammer shattered through the air, its nine soul rings radiating vast, overwhelming might. The Slaughter God's Domain stretched for several li, pressing down on the assembled soul masters until their hearts trembled with fear.
"A junior like you dares to challenge me?!"
Li Xuan remained cheerfully unhurried, calmly putting away the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. The next moment, his aura shifted abruptly.
Clang—!
A long spear thrust forward lightly, blocking Tang Chen in his tracks. And from Li Xuan's body, an indescribable killing intent began to seep out—more terrifying, more chilling than Tang Chen's own, accompanied by a crushing pressure that burst forth from his frame.
"A waste enslaved by slaughter..."
Li Xuan's body swirled with blood energy. He shook his spear and roared: "You think you're fit to bark before me!? Tell the Asura God to come!!!"
Boom—!
The blood energy solidified; a single spear strike sent Tang Chen flying. But he didn't stop. Nine soul rings materialized, and the sight made everyone present's faces darken.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red!
"Seven black and two red?!"
"W-what kind of soul ring configuration is that?!"
"No, his aura is even stronger... Heavens, the God-Slaying Douluo is also a 99th-level pinnacle Titled Douluo?!"
"..."
This was Li Xuan's confidence. The God-Slaying Spear's inherent attribute devoured all things, both increasing his strength and adding any attribute to himself—a true God-tier Martial Soul!
"Such dense Malevolent Qi—how many living beings has this man slaughtered?!"
Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi exchanged a glance and struck together. "Your sins are too heavy—let us cleanse you!"
Angel's holy light and Sea God's divine light erupted in unison.
"Interesting, truly interesting!"
Li Xuan sneered: "Two lackeys clinging to gods, dogs for life—and you dare act recklessly?! Tell the Angel God to come!!! Tell the Sea God to come!!!"
He spread his hands wide, his figure soaring continuously to ten thousand meters in the sky until he reached a peak, where he raised his voice in a mighty roar.
"Myriad Paths Senluo!!!"
Boom—!
A sea of blood covered a thousand li, engulfing the entire Heaven Dou Empire. The sky darkened. Above the blood sea, demonic energy churned. Endless malevolent qi spilled forth; a soul master tainted by even a trace turned into a mindless zombie. Countless humans and soul beasts slain by Li Xuan surged into the world.
"What kind of technique is this?!"
The crowd's faces turned grim.
Li Xuan's spear pierced the sky, all nine soul rings blazing simultaneously. "You lot think you're worthy to fight me?! Die!!!"
Boom—!
The God-Slaying Spear erupted with demonic light, shaking heaven and shattering earth, overturning the cosmos itself. The three pinnacle experts' faces were stricken with horror; they dared not hold back even a fraction, striking together. Holy light blazed like a torch, like a blazing sun overhead. Qian Daoliu exhausted his soul power, unleashing his strongest killing move to drive back the demonic energy and crash into Li Xuan. Tang Chen detonated all nine soul rings, his giant hammer shattering the sea of clouds as it struck down with earth-shaking force.
The Sea God's Light bloomed between Bo Saixi's brows, and the resplendent divine radiance manifested her Martial Soul true form—the Sea God!
In an instant, heaven and earth shifted, wind and clouds churning.
Cloud seas rolled, thunder stretched for ten thousand li, and the four Divine Skills collided together.
Boom—!
Light and dark intertwined, heaven and earth lost their color.
The surging shockwaves rolled like vast ocean waves, sweeping across heaven and earth.
Ten thousand meters above, the void shattered.
Ten thousand meters below, shockwaves crushed mountains, severed rivers, ravaged forests, and annihilated the land...
Weak soul masters, merely grazed by the shockwaves, instantly vaporized into nothing. Even Titled Douluo coughed up blood on the spot, gravely wounded.
"Th-this... is this a battle of gods?!"
Countless people fell to their knees, lacking even the courage to stand.
They gazed into the void, where the four had already exchanged hundreds of moves.
Yet Li Xuan, facing three supreme peaks, showed no sign of weakness—in fact, he pressed them back, a hint of defeat creeping into their stance.
"This man's strength has likely already surpassed the limits of the mortal world!"
Di Tian's expression turned grave. His massive form stirred as he abruptly joined the battle.
"Human, if you do not die today, I fear you will hardly obtain a divine artifact!"
Di Tian swung his claw.
Terrifying force tore through the sky, crashing down like a meteor from beyond the heavens.
Li Xuan stood unafraid; instead, the demonic aura around him grew thicker, and he burst into a savage, maniacal laugh:
"I've been waiting for you!!!"
"Demonization!!!"
Boom!
Demonic wings sprouted from Li Xuan's back, and a demonic horn emerged from his forehead.
His body instantly swelled to a hundred zhang, transforming into a giant.
"A mere mongrel dragon dares to face This Seat?!"
"Bring the Dragon God!!!"
Man and dragon clashed in the void, blood spattering the ground, instantly turning it into a death zone.
The three supreme Titled Douluo assisted, forcing Li Xuan into a momentary retreat.
This battle lasted a full several days.
No victor emerged.
From afar, people saw that all four humans and the beast were covered in wounds.
"It seems I still lack the power to kill you all!"
Li Xuan's robes were stained with blood, a look of regret on his face. "Since that's the case, I'll spare your lives for now!"
With that, He summoned the system, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
At the same time, the Blood Fiend Domain that had covered a thousand li also disappeared.
He truly couldn't kill these three humans and one beast, because he clearly sensed that whenever one of them was about to exhaust their strength, a strange, inexplicable power would pour into them.
Reigniting their battle intent.
If his guess was correct, the gods behind them had left a contingency on them. In this situation, killing them would require true divine-level power.
And Li Xuan had not yet reached that height.
Thus, he could only flee.
At the same time, Di Tian and the three, including Qian Daoliu, remained silent and left directly.
No one knew the details of what had truly transpired in that battle.
All people knew was that this clash of five supreme peaks had sunk a hundred li of land, leaving it unrecoverable for ten thousand years.
"Is the Sky Screen a blessing or a curse?"
"The third secret has already stirred endless turmoil across Douluo—what dangers will the first two secrets bring to the Douluo Continent?"
