Douluo: One Man Returns, Heaven-Defying Seal Smashes Tang San to Death

Supreme Resonance Talisman!

Two talismans that enhanced his spiritual power landed on him. Divine light gleamed brilliantly in Lu Yu's eyes as thunder burst from his tongue and he shouted, "Lin!"

In the world of the Otherfolk, this was a widely circulated Daoist spiritual attack technique—the Nine-Character Mantra!

The Nine-Character Mantra's power was limited, but Lu Yu's spiritual power was incredibly strong right now!

Coupled with the suppression of the Death Domain, the fleeing Ghost God Butterfly suddenly stiffened, hanging blankly in midair.

But then, the Ghost God Butterfly let out a shrill, mournful cry that made one's soul tremble.

Even Lu Yu, whose spiritual power had been boosted to a level comparable to an eight-ring powerhouse, turned pale.

"Go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yu shouted softly and threw out the Heaven-Defying Seal in his hand. All three soul rings lit up at once!

A terrifying suction force seized the Ghost God Butterfly, dragging it uncontrollably toward the Heaven-Defying Seal as it shot forward.

Bang!

As the muffled impact rang out, Lu Yu froze on the spot.

"This... it's dead already?"

Looking at the Ghost God Butterfly, now smashed into a pile of pulp, Lu Yu was utterly dumbfounded.

Wasn't it supposed to be a super soul beast?

Wasn't it supposed to rival a fifty-thousand-year beast king?

He had even prepared himself for a fierce battle, yet the Ghost God Butterfly had been killed in one blow by the Heaven-Defying Seal?

"Could it be... the Ghost God Butterfly's strength lies in its spiritual power, so its body is weak?"

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he made his guess.

But when he saw a black soul ring slowly rising from the Ghost God Butterfly's corpse, the doubt in his eyes immediately vanished.

No matter what, his fourth soul ring was finally settled!

Lu Yu took a deep breath and condensed a Summoning God Talisman in his palm, but did not activate it immediately.

He stepped forward, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began drawing in the soul ring. The Summoning God Talisman remained condensed in his palm without dispersing.

The moment he encountered danger, he would activate the Summoning God Talisman at once!

Within the canyon, Xie Yue, who sat cross-legged on the ground with his silver hair cascading down, opened his eyes. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At his side, five soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—shone in harmony.

Not far from him lay the corpse of a Man Faced Demon Spider.

A nineteen-year-old Five-Ring Soul King!

From this moment onward, he had broken Spirit Hall's record and become the youngest Soul King in Spirit Hall's history!

But Xie Yue was not proud because of this. His target had never been his peers; he wanted to surpass those who came before him and become a peak existence capable of rivaling the older generation's powerhouses!

"His Majesty's affairs should be over by now. I'll meet up with Nana first, then return to Spirit City together!"

Having made up his mind, Xie Yue rose to his feet. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned to look in the direction where he had encountered that youth earlier.

"Who exactly is that youth? He possesses a domain at such a young age. Could he be a genius secretly cultivated by the Star Luo Empire?"

Xie Yue frowned and muttered, "Probably not... This is the Star Luo Empire's border, far from Star Luo City. Why would he come here to obtain soul rings?"

If that youth was not from the Star Luo Empire, then he absolutely had to bring him back and make him join Spirit Hall!

At that thought, Xie Yue's eyes brightened slightly.

Without hesitating further, he dashed in that direction.

Soon, he arrived at the place where he had encountered Lu Yu before, but found no trace of either the Ghost God Butterfly or Lu Yu, so he continued onward.

Yet before he had gone very far, Xie Yue froze. His mouth gradually fell open, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In an open area not far away, the youth he had encountered earlier was sitting cross-legged, while the Ghost God Butterfly was nowhere to be seen.

However, a pile of pulp lay on the ground not far in front of the youth. One could vaguely make out the Ghost God Butterfly's shape within it.

This youth...

He had actually killed the Ghost God Butterfly alone, a creature whose combat power rivaled that of a beast king!

But that was not what truly shocked Xie Yue. What truly shocked him was...

Around the youth's body floated four soul rings—one yellow, two purple, and one black!

What kind of joke was this?!?

A thousand-year second soul ring?

A ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring?

And he possessed a domain?

Where had this monster come from?

Xie Yue felt his scalp go numb, and all the joy from becoming Spirit Hall's youngest Soul King vanished.

Judging by the youth's age, he was likely not even fifteen yet.

Xie Yue had only broken through Level 40 at sixteen, but the other party had done so even faster than him!

That soul ring configuration, enough to cause a sensation throughout the continent, was far beyond anything he could match. Not to mention that the other party possessed a domain as well!

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xie Yue's mind before eventually condensing into two choices.

Recruit him! No matter the cost, he had to recruit this youth into Spirit Hall!

Kill him! Eliminate him, lest he become an obstacle to His Majesty's plans!

If he could not be used by Spirit Hall, then he could only be destroyed!

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yue slowly calmed himself and walked toward Lu Yu.

But before he came within ten meters of Lu Yu, the youth, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A flash of gray light flickered through them.

Xie Yue felt a stabbing pain in his mind. His face turned pale, and he grunted as he staggered back several steps. Raising his head, he stared at the youth in shock.

Such powerful spiritual power!

Even his younger sister, who possessed extraordinary talent and specialized in spiritual power, probably did not have spiritual power this strong, did she?

Coming back to his senses, Xie Yue hurriedly waved his hands. "Brother, don't misunderstand! I mean no harm!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the Ghost God Butterfly, which had already become a pile of pulp, and smiled amiably. "I should thank you for helping me deal with that trouble!"

Lu Yu stared at Xie Yue and said flatly, "You needed the Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring, and I needed this Ghost God Butterfly's soul ring. We each took what we needed."

Xie Yue had been rebuffed. He gave an awkward smile as his mind raced, trying to find a topic of conversation.

But after holding it in for quite a while, he only managed to force out one sentence...

"Brother... you're really handsome..."

Lu Yu was immediately speechless. The look he gave Xie Yue turned strange. This guy isn't gay, is he?

"Uh... don't misunderstand! What I mean is... I have a younger sister, and she likes young geniuses like you—powerful and handsome!"

Xie Yue began rambling smoothly, but the more he spoke, the brighter his eyes became, as though he had found a breakthrough. He continued in an endless stream:

"Brother! Even across the entire continent, my sister is a top-tier beauty!"

"Not only that, but she's extremely talented. She reached the four-ring realm at fifteen, and she's now at Level 48, only one step away from Level 50!"

"Um... would you be interested in becoming my brother-in-law?"

Lu Yu was utterly dumbfounded. What was all this supposed to mean?

What the hell...

Why did this guy look so much like a pimp?

Through Xie Yue's words, Lu Yu finally guessed his identity.

Such a young Soul King, with a younger sister who was equally monstrously talented—who else could he be but Xie Yue, the leader of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation?

Moreover, the Heavenly Dou Empire's exchange delegation had just been attacked by Spirit Hall. Even Ghost Douluo had personally appeared, and Star Soul Canyon was not far from the scene. It was only natural for Xie Yue to be here.

Lu Yu did not want to get involved with Spirit Hall right now, so he said flatly, "I'm not interested in your sister, and I'm not your brother. Goodbye!"

With that, he turned and left.

Xie Yue paused for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him, saying at the same time:

"Wait! Wait! Brother! Let's get acquainted. My name is Xie Yue, and I'm from Spirit Hall!"

"It's fine if you're not interested now. Once you meet my sister, you'll definitely become interested in her!"

"May I ask your name, brother? Would you be interested in joining our Spirit Hall?"

"Don't worry! As long as you're willing to join Spirit Hall, you'll be the brother-in-law I, Xie Yue, have chosen!"
