Steadiness Above All

While Du Busi's original form, at this moment, with its thousand-meter-tall size, looks exaggerated.

However, in reality, such a large size is not flexible enough, nor is it powerful enough, making it unsuitable for battles between strong individuals.

However, due to his previous Du Busi had suffered a significant loss of Soul Power, so he now had no choice but to use the most effective means to break through the space in the battlefield in order to obtain compensation from the outside.

In this respect, a body that is 100 meters long is naturally less convenient than a body that is 1,000 meters long, both in terms of energy absorption and storage efficiency.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao's combat skills are quite impressive.

However, his most fundamental weakness remains his level of cultivation.

Previously, when the two sides clashed head-on, Huo Yuhao was able to delay the attack by using the opponent's force against them.

By using the opponent's power to suppress the opponent, this undoubtedly directly and indirectly narrowed the gap between Huo Yuhao and Du Busi's cultivation levels.

However, now that the Du Busi's thousand-meter true form has been unleashed, he is not taking the initiative to attack, and the surrounding spatial rifts are causing further disturbance.

Huo Yuhao's attack methods were almost Du Busi, leaving him no choice but to let his opponent rapidly recover his lost Soul Power using the Soul Core.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao stopped trying to stop him.

Instead, he quickly gathered the Soul Power and energy that were currently under his control around himself.

By controlling the shape and extent of the Truth Domain, Huo Yuhao arranged it according to the rules, forming a pale green giant figure resembling the Martial Soul Avatar of the Du Busi Martial Soul around himself.

However, this figure, formed purely of energy, undoubtedly appears much more illusory than the towering, true form of the Du Busi.

Unlike his Martial Soul Avatar, Huo Yuhao's current pale green giant figure, while still appearing humanoid, is actually composed of ingenious Soul Power Circuit structures.

It is infinitely variable and full of mysteries, and the order can be changed at any time according to Huo Yuhao's wishes to form the Soul Skill and methods he needs.

Moreover, while Du Busi rapidly recovering his Soul Power, Huo Yuhao was not idle either.

With both sides possessing Soul Core, Huo Yuhao used the Truth Domain as a stepping stone and leveraged the immense Soul Power he controlled.

The Soul Power Circuit of the giant Soul Power humanoid were all changed into super-large spirit gathering arrays, Huo Yuhao was also rapidly gathering and competing for the unclaimed World Spiritual Energy around him.

In terms of speed alone, Huo Yuhao's energy gathering speed at this moment even surpasses that of Du Busi.

Compared to the intensity of the previous battles, neither side made any further probing moves at this moment, but the level of combat involved was even more terrifying.

After his Soul Power had been almost fully restored, Du Busi's size shrank back to 100 meters.

However, unlike before, a faint golden light was seen projecting from the dark green Du Busi True Form Martial Soul, which symbolized that he had started his Gold-Grade Martial Soul Secondary Awakening.

A massive dark green vortex formed behind Du Busi.

One after another, dark green bubbles surged and burst, containing a terrifying poison powerful enough to kill an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Although Du Busi can suppress his Soul Power and adjust it back to his previous Level 98 state, the evolution of his Martial Soul is irreversible.

Under the influence of the Snow-Colored Swan Neck, coupled with Huo Yuhao's theoretical adjustments.

Du Busi's True Form Martial Soul has also been greatly enhanced compared to before, especially his already proud innate poison, which has become even more terrifying.

With the enhancement of his Gold-level Martial Soul Awakening, it's clear that Du Busi no intention of holding back except in terms of Soul Power.

Now he wants to test just how far Huo Yuhao can go.

After all, Super Douluo powerhouses are not to be trifled with, even though he seemed to be at a disadvantage just now when he used his level 97 Soul Power.

But when Huo Yuhao truly faced a level 97 Super Douluo...

The opponent might have some special trump card that allows them to unleash extraordinary combat power in a short period of time.

Therefore, the test of Huo Yuhao's Du Busi is naturally more rigorous.

Du Busi raised his hands, and his Martial Soul spirit also followed suit, adopting a posture of supporting the sky. Then, the dark green vortex behind him suddenly contracted.

After the vortex subsided, it carried a large amount of World Spiritual Energy and gathered in the hand of the Du Busi Martial Soul, forming a huge dark green sphere with a diameter of about thirty meters.

As this dark green sphere of light appeared, the surrounding space rapidly collapsed.

The dark spatial rift formed a void, faintly obscuring the light of the dark green orb, but making it appear even more terrifying.

"Yuhao, watch out! This move isn't so easy to catch!"

Du Busi shouted loudly, and a ball of light flew out of his hand at high speed.

However, its diameter is getting smaller and smaller, from twenty meters to ten meters to one meter, but the sense of oppression it brings is not diminished at all.

Moreover, as the size of the light sphere shrank, the area it passed through was completely filled with dark spatial rifts, and not a trace of light could be seen anymore.

As it traveled a hundred meters, the space was completely pierced by the sphere of light.

The next instant, the ball of light that was originally hundreds of meters away from Huo Yuhao appeared directly in front of him.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not panic. He gently tapped his right hand, seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

This time, he made use of the time ability, which, although only a part of it had been analyzed, was already usable by Huo Yuhao.

While accelerating his own time, Huo Yuhao also slowed down the time around him, giving himself ample time to react and prepare.

This was also the contingency plan that Huo Yuhao had come up with when facing a powerful expert in Space Power manipulation.

After all, in the Douluo Continent, Soul Master must have the cultivation level of Super Douluo to begin to master spatial abilities, and if they want to use them proficiently, they must be a high-level Super Douluo.

When facing these high-level Super Douluo, Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't compete with them for influence over the space with his inferior Soul Power.

Therefore, he had no choice but to find another way. Apart from specific Martial Soul and Soul Skill, even Super Douluo rarely had the power of time.

Even among powerful forces like Shrek Academy and Body Sect, there are very few Martial Soul and Soul Skill with time attributes.

However, relying on the analytical capabilities of his previous Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao still managed to record everything and study it slowly.

As Huo Yuhao pointed his finger, the light sphere, which had already shattered the surrounding space and forcibly shortened the distance between itself and Huo Yuhao, was frozen in place.

An invisible layer of ice crystals spread from Huo Yuhao's fingertips. The Absolute Zero ice crystals replaced the space originally used to stabilize the environment and Ice Seal the dark green light sphere.

Without switching his Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao accomplished this directly with his original body.

However, Huo Yuhao was already capable of using both of his Martial Soul simultaneously.

Now that he needed to test the limits of his strength, how could he not use the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul?

The enormous humanoid form that controlled the Truth Domain transformed into pure energy, injecting and enveloping the space before it, which was frozen due to Absolute Zero.

Immediately afterwards, it propelled this zero-degree space, flying rapidly towards the Du Busi.

This attack has also broken through the constraints of space, ignoring the spatial distance between the two sides.

Since the Soul Power of Level 98 Super Douluo is already capable of shattering space, its quality and quantity are naturally unimaginably terrifying.

When Huo Yuhao's attack reached within a hundred meters of Du Busi, it became apparent that it could not instantly reach Du Busi's front.

But that's enough, Absolute Zero Explosion!

A dragon's roar resounded through the sky, instantly changing the world, and the seal originally formed by Absolute Zero shattered.

The splashed ice crystal fragments, carrying the residual heat of Absolute Zero, broke through the viscous, domain-like pure Soul Power pressure of Du Busi.

The propulsive energy formed by the dark green orb within the Ice Seal and Huo Yuhao's Truth Domain helped break through the terrifying Soul Power of the Du Busi and cross that final hundred-meter distance once again.

Seeing this, Du Busi's arms swelled up and clasped together, forcefully smashing the dark green orb that was already at its critical point and about to explode.

The terrifying explosion of Soul Power leveled out the surrounding snow, dead trees, and clouds, and even the spatial tremors were forcibly calmed down.

Faced with the terrifying venom splattering everywhere, Huo Yuhao chose to temporarily avoid the attack.

He directly formed a layer of Absolute Zero ice around his body to isolate himself from the venom.

On the other hand, those Du Busi suffer no loss.

After all, he had anticipated in their previous encounters that Huo Yuhao would likely use a strategy of leveraging Huo's strength against him.

Therefore, he naturally did not create an offensive that would pose a threat or backfire on himself.

However, at this very moment, the aftershocks of their battle had already ravaged the land within a hundred miles, causing it to sink deep.

At the same time, the space here was temporarily damaged, and Douluo Star's self-repair mechanism could not be sustained for a short period of time.

The battle had reached such a point that even at the level of Super Douluo, it could be considered a serious engagement, or even a high-intensity battle.

After all, under normal circumstances, whether in order to avoid causing too much damage or to maintain their own condition, the Super Douluo would not resort to such ruthless methods.

Du Busi is only relying on his Level 99 Limit Douluo cultivation.

Otherwise, if he were truly at Level 98, he would have suffered some substantial damage.

Perhaps it consumed my Origin Soul Power, or perhaps it consumed my Innate Poison, but it certainly wasn't a low-intensity battle.

Seeing that Du Busi stopped, Huo Yuhao also withdrew his Martial Soul and domain.

Although it has Soul Core, Gold of Life, and Spiritual Origin as logistical support.

However, at this time, his Soul Power was almost depleted, and his Spiritual Power was also under considerable strain.

Even the physical body was already somewhat overloaded from the immense power that had just been used.

The accumulation of a large amount of Power of Life in a short period of time made it difficult for Huo Yuhao to absorb.

"Level 97, no, level 96," Du Busi said after a moment of contemplation.

"Super Douluo starting at level 96 can't do anything to you unless the opponent fights desperately."

"However, if your Soul Core, Life Force, and Origin Soul Power are burned, you absolutely cannot withstand it with your current abilities."

"Even if you want to run away, you have to consider the situation. Therefore, I hope that when you face a strong person of this level, you will run away as soon as you see them."

"Although you have a chance of winning, your potential is far greater than that, so there's no need to fight to the death with him."

"Without paying a certain price, even a Level 98 Super Douluo or a level 99 Limit Douluo might not be able to capture you, Yuhao."

"So, I want you to promise me, Yuhao, that even if you have to take risks in the future, you must always prioritize your own safety and never be greedy for merit or act rashly."

In fact, it can now be vaguely confirmed that if Huo Yuhao were to fight his opponent Du Busi the death, his true combat strength might reach the level of an ordinary level 97 Super Douluo.

However, to be on the safe side, he still went down one level, since Soul Power is one of the important factors that determine the strength of a powerful person.

However, there are simply too many Secret Techniques, Martial Soul strengths, attribute levels, and other factors involved on both sides.

"Yes, Master's teachings will be remembered by your disciple."

After the battle with Du Busi, Huo Yuhao had a pretty good idea of his current strength.

With the Eye of Truth, he can unleash all his strength and trump cards to the fullest extent.

However, despite this, it is still too weak. If it could break through to the level of Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo be much better.

With his current accumulation and various resources, he could even challenge a Limit Douluo.

Although such a thought flashed through his mind, Huo Yuhao still reminded himself that he needed to be cautious.

After all, aside from the obvious Limit Douluo powerhouses.

Whether it's the Demon Empress, who has cultivated for about a million years, or Di Tian, whose trump card is the Dragon God Dragon God Claw, a direct transmission from the Dragon God.

Or perhaps they are actually two Divine Beast Niu Tian and Tai Tan, who descended to the mortal realm as Divine Official but disguised themselves as Limit Douluo.

There's also the severely injured Silver Dragon King and Tang San's parents, who usurped the life core and world mastership of Douluo Star.

Their strength far surpasses that of ordinary Limit Douluo.

The power Huo Yuhao currently possesses is only enough to give him a certain degree of influence in this world.

That's far from enough to allow him to act freely and continue with his plans.

"Stability is key; I can't afford to get carried away," Huo Yuhao told himself silently.

Huo Yuhao then asked Du Busi, "Master, during the days I was in seclusion, have any other changes occurred in the situation on the Douluo Continent?"

Upon hearing Du Busi nodded. "Yes, this is also something I wanted to tell you, but this is not the place to talk about things. Let's go back to the sect first."

The devastation left by the two was gradually being restored, with heavy snow falling again and the damaged space repairing itself.

In a few years, once the traces of their battle have disappeared, this place should return to its original state.
