Flower of Creation

In that instant, Qian Daoliu saw a gigantic Bone Dragon King appear beneath Zhongli Wu. It transformed into armor around him, allowing him to withstand his Breath of the Angel!

Qian Daoliu was taken aback.

After Zhongli Wu had withstood Qian Daoliu's attack, he first glanced at the only remaining Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult nearby, then asked him, "Ming Lei! Why are you the only one here?"

"Where are Nether, Ten Thousand Souls, Abomination, Mask, and Sleep Nightmare?"

At the question, the Titled Douluo named Ming Lei shivered, white vapor rising from his body as he replied to Zhongli Wu, "They're dead. They're all dead!"

Hearing that five Titled Douluos had died, Zhongli Wu was shaken to the core. He could hardly believe that of the six Titled Douluos he'd brought along, only one remained.

As the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, he simply couldn't accept it.

But this also made Zhongli Wu calm down and take a clear look at Qian Daoliu.

When Zhongli Wu recognized Qian Daoliu and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul behind him, he was shaken to the core once more.

"You're Qian Daoliu?"

"Weren't you sent into that gorge?"

"How are you still alive? And why are you in Heaven Dou City?"

Zhongli Wu looked as though he'd seen a ghost. He couldn't help demanding an explanation from Qian Daoliu.

"You even know about the gorge!"

"Then that means you were involved in the ambush on Bo Saixi and me that day!"

At that, Qian Daoliu's expression turned icy.

Seeing this, Zhongli Wu realized he'd touched a raw nerve.

So before Qian Daoliu could attack again, Zhongli Wu could no longer spare a thought for Dark Thunder Douluo. He unleashed First Soul Skill—Withered Bone Binding!

"Second Soul Skill—Corpse Legion!"

He tried to stop Qian Daoliu.

But it was obvious that Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul completely countered Zhongli Wu's Death God Demon Puppet Martial Soul.

No matter what Soul Skills Zhongli Wu unleashed, Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain automatically purified them.

Seeing his Soul Skills completely countered by Qian Daoliu, Zhongli Wu stopped holding back and summoned the Bone Dragon King, which had just helped him withstand Qian Daoliu's lethal strike, to fight.

With a roar that shook heaven and earth, the black, fearsome Bone Dragon King broke free of its restraints. Its skeletal frame was cloaked in a deathly aura, and its massive body blotted out the night sky.

It tore free of Zhongli Wu's body, its dragon eyes glimmering with eerie green flames. Bearing down with an overwhelming aura of death, it charged straight at Qian Daoliu.

Its icy claws ripped through the air as its ferocious deathly power slammed into the Holy Angel Domain. It launched a relentless assault on Qian Daoliu.

The sudden, violent attack threw Qian Daoliu's rhythm off. The heavy impact of deathly energy broke through part of his holy light barrier. His gaze sharpened, and rather than take the dragon's force head-on, he beat his wings and darted rapidly backward.

As he retreated, Qian Daoliu's keen eyes swept over the Bone Dragon King, instantly discerning its nature.

It was a beastly spirit born of deathly power, all bone and no flesh, wrapped in a dense, sinister deathly aura.

It was ferocious in both attack and defense, unfazed by pain. Its extreme deathly energy could even counter holy light.

"Interesting!"

"If Soul Skills can't defeat you,"

"then I'll destroy you with physical attacks!"

Qian Daoliu knew that Soul Skills alone were no longer enough to deal with the Bone Dragon King.

Qian Daoliu held nothing back. Holy light surged around him as he fully unleashed the Six-Winged Angel's true form.

A resplendent Angel Holy Sword took shape in his palm, its blade flowing with pure light of judgment. Bearing overwhelming sacred might, he charged into battle.

Facing the oncoming Bone Dragon King, he swiftly raised his sword and swung. One fierce slash after another crashed down, each blow carrying tremendous force as it struck the pale dragon bones, carving deep, jagged gashes into them.

The crisp crack of breaking bones rang out again and again as his supreme holy power ate away at the Bone Dragon King's undead body.

Nearby, Zhongli Wu, who was controlling the Bone Dragon King in battle, felt as if his heart were bleeding.

Every sword mark Qian Daoliu left on the Bone Dragon King would take him a long time to restore.

Zhongli Wu had originally planned to use the Blood Pool at the scene to drain Qian Daoliu's Soul Power.

But as the Bone Dragon King and Qian Daoliu fought,

Zhongli Wu realized that Qian Daoliu's Soul Power wasn't diminishing at all.

Instead, his sacred aura kept breaking down the undead energy in the Blood Pool and converting it into energy for himself.

This left Zhongli Wu both shocked and furious.

At last, seeing that Qian Daoliu was about to hack the Bone Dragon King down to a mere skeleton, Zhongli Wu's eyes flooded with murderous intent. Without further hesitation, he unleashed a fierce palm strike at the Death God Tower on the high platform!

With a deafening boom, the tower exploded, and the Undead Collector inside shattered in an instant.

Nearly three hundred thousand dormant undead broke free of their restraints. They circled overhead, shrieking, as black deathly energy swept across the entire world and a terrifying pressure crashed down.

Zhongli Wu went berserk, his black hair whipping wildly as he fully unleashed his Death God Demon Puppet Martial Soul and activated its Origin Soul Skill—Origin of Death! He forcefully devoured and refined the souls of countless fallen undead warriors. Immense, deathly power surged into his body, multiplying his Soul Power and deathly energy several times over.

Gathering all his strength and wrapped in an overwhelming aura of death, he was about to unleash a deathly self-detonation, hoping to take Qian Daoliu down with him in one strike!

Qian Daoliu's expression changed dramatically as he instantly saw through Zhongli Wu's mad intentions.

The blast from the explosive release of this ultimate Origin of Death would be terrifying. If it detonated, not only would everyone there be wiped out, but all of Heaven Dou City would be razed to the ground.

At this critical moment, Qian Daoliu didn't dare waste a second. First, he contacted Ye Guyi and the others through his Communication Soul Tool: "Ye Guyi, Luanfeng, Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, Jinlin, Guang Yao! Return to your respective Soul Master Legions at once and activate the coordinated defense barrier! Remember, stay away from the plaza's sacrificial platform!"

Then, suppressing his shock, he drew on every hidden trump card he had and released his Second Martial Soul, the Destruction Scepter. He roared, "First Soul Skill, Destruction of All Things!"

It erupted in an instant. Endless destructive power swept in every direction, fiercely countering the surging deathly energy.

But even so, Qian Daoliu could only counter half of the Vengeful Spirit energy.

The rest of the Vengeful Spirit energy still detonated amid Zhongli Wu's wild laughter.

Qian Daoliu could only watch as Zhongli Wu detonated nearly a hundred and fifty thousand Vengeful Spirits' worth of energy.

With no other choice, Qian Daoliu unleashed the full power of his Second Martial Soul, the Destruction Scepter.

His Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul transformed completely into a purple Destruction Angel.

The Destruction Angel raised the Destruction Scepter high and unleashed another First Soul Skill—Destruction Cage!

Interwoven purple-black destructive power suddenly surged forth, forming layer upon layer of cages that crashed down over the area.

The solid walls of destruction locked down the deathly energy overhead, suppressing and enclosing the swelling power of Zhongli Wu's self-detonation layer by layer.

The frenzied force of the Origin of Death kept crashing against the cage, gradually wearing away Qian Daoliu's Destruction Cage!

In the end, this terrifying explosive force broke free of Qian Daoliu's control and, with Zhongli Wu at its core, detonated outward.

The blast broke through everything. As Zhongli Wu vanished into nothingness, he taunted Qian Daoliu with wild laughter: "Qian Daoliu, so what if you're a Limit Douluo?"

"You're still dancing in the palm of my hand!"

"Die! Die along with all of Heaven Dou City!"

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu watched Zhongli Wu vanish completely and flee into the distance.

Qian Daoliu was deeply wary of Zhongli Wu's mysterious methods.

He'd clearly put Zhongli Wu to death.

And yet Zhongli Wu had still managed to escape. Even if he'd have to pay dearly this time, there was no denying that Zhongli Wu, a Level 98 Douluo, had once again escaped from Qian Daoliu, a Limit Douluo.

The same thing had happened with Ye Xishui. Now it had happened again with Zhongli Wu.

Qian Daoliu could only watch Zhongli Wu flee, powerless to stop him.

Because the self-detonation of nearly a hundred and fifty thousand Vengeful Spirits was closing in on all of Heaven Dou City.

Just when Qian Daoliu thought there was no way to turn things around,

a pair of warm, familiar jade hands clasped the hand that held his Angel Holy Sword. At the same time, their owner stood beside him and softly chanted, "From life, nurture vitality; through destruction, forge new birth. Unite the two origins—Flower of Creation!"
