Holy Spectrum Puni, Seal Released?!

"This is the grand final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"Blades have no eyes; life and death are left to fate."

"Because I tossed you around a bit for your lack of skill, you call it harming your lover?"

Gu Sheng lowered his hands, staring straight at Tang San, and spoke word by word.

"So it turns out that in this world, as long as things don't go your way, Tang San, or if one slights the Shrek Seven Devils, it is considered a crime against heaven."

"Your so-called justice is nothing more than something that revolves entirely around yourself."

"It is truly laughable."

Gu Sheng did not lower his voice as he spoke.

The tens of thousands of spectators in the stands heard him clearly.

Many began whispering to one another, nodding repeatedly.

The incident on the streets of Heaven Dou City had reached many ears, and now that Gu Sheng had exposed it publicly, the reputation of the Shrek Team plummeted to rock bottom.

Tang San's face turned livid in an instant.

He could not process a single word Gu Sheng said; in his heart, harming Xiao Wu was a capital offense!

"Sophistry!"

Tang San roared, raising the Clear Sky Hammer high above his head.

Violent soul power surged into the weapon, and the hammer, originally only the size of a water vat, swelled rapidly in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, the Clear Sky Hammer transformed into a massive war hammer the size of a house.

A dark golden radiance shot into the sky, illuminating the entire arena as if it were broad daylight.

The terrifying pressure poured down, making it difficult for many of the lower-cultivation spectators outside the arena to breathe.

The entire stadium held its breath.

Everyone could feel the destructive power contained within that single strike.

At the highest seat of Martial Soul Hall.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's expression turned ugly the moment he saw the gargantuan Clear Sky Hammer.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

Yue Guan stepped forward abruptly, cupping his hands, his voice laced with anxiety and killing intent.

"This brat has actually mastered the Avatar of the Tool Soul!"

"The remnants of the Clear Sky Sect are absolute disasters if left alive. Gu Sheng has fought several battles already; he may not be able to withstand this blow."

"Please permit me to intervene and eliminate Tang San!"

Standing on the other side, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei emerged silently, his body wreathed in black mist, radiating a bone-chilling cold.

"Your Holiness, Yue Guan is right."

Gui Mei's voice was ethereal yet exceptionally firm.

"This child possesses extraordinary talent and harbors deep hostility toward our Martial Soul Hall. If we do not eradicate him today, he will surely become a grave threat in the future!"

With two Title Douluo requesting to join the fray, their killing intent locked firmly onto Tang San below.

However, Bibi Dong sat regally upon the papal throne, offering no immediate order to strike.

Her fingers gently caressed the shaft of her scepter.

This was Martial Soul City, but it was also the final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Tens of thousands of spectators sat in the stands, along with representatives from major sects and empires.

If the elders of Martial Soul Hall were to kill a contestant in the middle of the match, the reputation Martial Soul Hall had built over so many years would be destroyed in an instant.

More importantly.

The Shrek Team represented the Heaven Dou Empire; they were the champion team of the Heaven Dou Empire.

To execute a contestant of the Heaven Dou Empire right in front of Emperor Xue Ye would be tantamount to an immediate declaration of war.

Although Martial Soul Hall had been secretly amassing vast power, the Soul Hunting Operation was still in the preparation phase, and they were not yet ready for a full-scale war against the two great empires.

"Stand down."

Bibi Dong spat out the two words coldly.

"But..." Yue Guan tried to persuade her further.

"I told you to stand down. Did you not hear me?" Bibi Dong's gaze swept over Yue Guan, and the irrefutable pressure forced him to fall silent instantly and retreat to his original position.

Bibi Dong cast her gaze back toward the arena.

She wanted to see just how far this youth, whom Qian Daoliu had classified as a top-secret priority, could truly go.

In the center of the arena.

Veins bulged on Tang San's arms as he held the house-sized Clear Sky Hammer at its peak.

Locked on!

Spiritual power sealed off all of Gu Sheng's paths of retreat.

"Go to hell!"

Tang San let out an earth-shattering roar, his hands wielding the force of ten thousand jun as he controlled the massive Clear Sky Hammer, smashing it down directly toward Gu Sheng's head.

The air erupted in a series of sonic booms under the weight of this hammer.

A black-gold storm formed in an instant.

This strike carried Tang San's absolute determination to kill, leaving no room for any maneuver.

Gu Sheng stood his ground, making no move to dodge.

Or rather, he had no intention of dodging at all.

The violent gale whipped his hair into a frenzy, and the world-destroying pressure caused the bones throughout his body to emit faint sounds of protest.

The shadow of death completely enveloped him.

At the very moment the Clear Sky Hammer was less than three feet from the top of his head.

Gu Sheng felt it.

That pure, undisguised, lethal killing intent.

This was precisely the opportunity he had been searching for.

The Second Seal within his body, upon sensing this life-or-death crisis, lit up at this very moment.

Blinding golden light burst forth from Gu Sheng's chest without warning.

This radiance was brilliant to the extreme, even eclipsing the dark golden luster of the Clear Sky Hammer.

Immediately following.

A towering, sacred phantom slowly emerged behind Gu Sheng.

It was the phantom of Holy Spectrum Puni.

Eight brilliant golden wings flickered behind the phantom, radiating a supreme, holy aura.

The moment the wings appeared, the surrounding gale was smoothed out by a gentle yet peerless force.

Tang San's pupils dilated instantly, but he could no longer pull back.

The Clear Sky Hammer, carrying its unstoppable momentum, smashed down heavily.

The dark golden hammer shadow collided violently with the pillar of golden light erupting from Gu Sheng's body.

"BOOM!"

A deafening roar exploded over Martial Soul City.

The blinding glare caused everyone to lose their vision instantly, forcing them to instinctively close their eyes.

Following that came a terrifying shockwave, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The defensive barrier around the arena, set up by dozens of Spirit Emperors working in unison, shook violently the moment it made contact with the shockwave.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly across the light screen.

The teeth-grinding sound of "crack" echoed incessantly.

"Not good!"

On the high-level viewing platform, the Cardinal in charge of security turned pale.

"Everyone, reinforce the barrier immediately!"

Dozens of high-level Spirit Masters from Martial Soul Hall lunged forward, frantically pouring their internal spirit power into the barrier.

But this could only serve to delay it slightly.

The energy generated by that collision was too immense, already exceeding the limits of a normal Spirit King, or even a Spirit Emperor.

"BANG!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the arena's barrier shattered.

Fragments of violent energy shot out like sharp blades toward the spectator stands indiscriminately.

If this energy were allowed to disperse, the ordinary spectators in the stands would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties.

At this critical moment.

Several figures sitting in the VIP seats moved simultaneously.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin let out a cold snort, his Seven Kill Sword soaring into the sky as sharp sword qi transformed into a massive sword net, shredding the shockwave heading toward the Heaven Dou Empire side.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also struck at the same time.

The petals of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum danced in the air, forming an indestructible floral shield; Gui Mei released a vast expanse of black mist, forcibly swallowing the energy spreading toward the Martial Soul Hall side.

The Title Douluo present joined forces, finally blocking the terrifying shockwave and preventing it from harming innocent spectators.

At the center of the arena, the area remained shrouded in dense golden light and rising dust.

In the perspective of Gu Sheng, the clamor of the outside world seemed to vanish entirely.

He could clearly feel the shackles that had long restrained his power trembling violently.

As the terrifying, killing-intent-laden force of the Clear Sky Hammer continued to press down.

"Crack."

A shattering sound, audible only to him, echoed deep within his soul.

It was the sensation of a seal breaking.

An unprecedented feeling of relief surged through his entire body, and his previously stagnant soul power, like an unleashed dragon, began to surge wildly through his veins.
