Faced with a question that's hard to answer, you just stop talking?
"What did I just say?" Da Ming only realized now what he had said, revealing Tang San's secrets.
"You've revealed everything you know about the truth," Yin Hongye said with a smile.
Before the words were even finished, the air suddenly seemed to sink.
A burst of blue light erupted from Da Ming's eyes, Er Ming's shoulders and back bulged. The two broke free from their human forms almost simultaneously. Their bones grew and their flesh churned. The massive bodies of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape crashed to the ground, shaking the forest leaves like rain.
The lake water surged backward, the rocks crumbled, and two fierce forces soared into the sky.
Gaia could only give them a nine out of ten for their landing performance.
"Roar--"
Er Ming lunged forward first, unleashing his Gravity Domain, causing the ground within a hundred-foot radius to suddenly sink.
Seeing this, Yin Hongye flicked her finger, distorting space. Na'er, Di Qiuer, and Yuanen Yehui were instantly teleported to a safe area.
Er Ming's fists crashed down like mountains, and his Tai Tan Divine Fist, accompanied by a sonic boom, smashed straight into Yin Hongye's face.
The Da Ming entrenched itself in the rear, its azure vertical pupils coldly locking onto the target. Its Slow Domain silently spread out, and time seemed to be held back by an invisible hand, becoming viscous and stagnant.
However, upon seeing this domain, Yin Hongye simply stood still, her robes fluttering slightly.
"Is this all the strength you have? How disappointing! Are you still being suppressed here?"
He lifted his foot and took a step forward.
The time interference of the Slow Domain was useless against him; the hundredfold gravity falling on his shoulders was like a gentle breeze. The Hellfire Crimson Lotus bloomed beneath his feet, its blood-red petals swirling and swallowing up all control and damage.
"Impossible!" Da Ming Niu Shou trembled, unable to believe that Yin Hongye possessed such strength.
Yin Hongye did not answer. He held a sword in each hand, one blue and one red. Blood Sea surged beneath his feet, and Karmic Fire roared like a dragon. The intense heat distorted and deformed the space.
"Just do it. I'll force you to reveal more information," he said calmly.
Mu Hongchen was already poised to strike. The phantom of Three-Legged Golden Toad appeared behind him, its mouth wide open, and golden elements from within a radius of several miles gathered frantically.
Thousands of Soul Cannon materialized out of thin air, their muzzles locking onto the Da Ming.
In an instant, a deafening roar tore through the sky.
The soul-guided beams poured down like a torrential rain, the Da Ming Python's body rapidly coiled, Sky Azure Annihilation Divine Thunder burst forth from its horn tip, colliding with the beams in mid-air, exploding into a sky full of lightning and fire.
The Qian Renxue rose high into the sky, its Six Wings outstretched, bathed in golden light.
"First Soul Skill: Angel Assault."
She swooped down, her fist imbued with divine energy, aiming straight for Er Ming's back heart.
Er Ming roared and turned around, unleashing the Tai Tan Divine Fist. Fists collided, holy golden light and savage force intertwined and exploded, the shockwave overturning the entire forest.
Fifth Soul Skill: Holy Sword.
Qian Renxue changed her fist into a palm, Holy Fire condensed into a longsword, which she slashed down. Er Ming blocked the attack with his arm, and the attack only grazed his skin.
"Roar--!" Er Ming roared in pain as the Gravity Domain suddenly contracted, pressing down on Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue paused, realizing that even though Er Ming's strength was suppressed, his physical body had already surpassed that of a human.
Her Six Wings suddenly grew, and golden light soared into the sky. Her aura instantly rose to a level close to that of Titled Douluo, and she forcefully broke free from the gravity vortex.
On the ground, the Yin Hongye had already clashed head-on with the Da Ming.
The two swords, one green and one red, slashed out in a crisscrossing motion, each strike carrying Karmic Fire that scorched the soul.
The burning Da Ming Dynasty immense suffering.
His physical defenses are strong, and his recovery ability surpasses that of ordinary people.
Unfortunately, Yin Hongye's blows were genuine!
The Da Ming Python's tail swept across, distorting the power of space, attempting to shred him. Yin Hongye neither dodged nor evaded, but withstood the python's tail head-on, and swung his sword backhand at the Da Ming's scales, sparks flying everywhere.
The Karmic Fire seeped in along the sword mark, and Da Ming let out a muffled groan as the python's body convulsed violently.
"Big brother!" Er Ming were bloodshot, and he abandoned Qian Renxue, rushing over.
Sixth Soul Skill: Angel's Roar.
Qian Renxue would never let him leave. Her Angel Soul Power materialized into a spiritual shockwave, crashing into Er Ming's sea of consciousness.
Mu Hongchen sneered, and the golden toad phantom expanded once more, his Metal Manipulation increasing even further.
The ground cracked open, and countless metal chains burst forth, binding Er Ming's limbs. Er Ming roared, his muscles bulging, and the chains snapped inch by inch, but his speed had already slowed down.
In that instant, Yin Hongye had already closed in on Da Ming.
"It's over."
The two swords combined, their blades formed from intertwined blue and red Karmic Fire, and crashed down with a deafening roar.
The Da Ming roared, unleashing the full force of the Sky Azure Annihilation Divine Thunder clashed with the Blood Sword, causing the world to lose its color. However, Yin Hongye grew stronger with each battle, his aura rising with every attack he received, and the defense of the Hellfire Crimson Lotus became as solid as a rock.
As for the backlash from the high-intensity amplification of the body, it was neutralized by the powerful regenerative ability of the Undying Body.
The flames pierced through the sea of lightning, Da Ming's body was blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground, its scales shattered, and blood gushing out.
Er Ming broke free of his chains, rushed to his elder brother, and spread his arms to block Yin Hongye.
"Don't hurt my elder brother!"
Yin Hongye scoffed and severed the Titan Giant Ape's arm with a single sword strike.
The severed arm flew off, blood gushing out like a fountain. Er Ming groaned, but gritted his teeth and refused to back down, his remaining left arm still desperately supporting him in front of Da Ming.
"Get out of the way," Yin Hongye said.
"No..." Er Ming gasped, "If you're going to kill... kill me first..."
Yin Hongye scoffed, "Such deep brotherly affection."
Answer a few questions for me.
Er Ming stared at him without saying a word.
"Why is the mainland getting weaker and weaker?" Yin Hongye's voice was calm. "Is it really only because of the Abyss Plane?"
"The number of high-level Soul Master is increasing, but the world's capacity to support them is insufficient for godhood. This is clearly abnormal. What exactly did the Sea God do?"
Upon hearing the words "Sea God," both Da Ming and Er Ming's pupils contracted simultaneously.
Yin Hongye captured this moment.
"Explain."
Neither beast spoke, as if they dared not answer.
Seeing this, Yin Hongye sneered, "What, you're silent now that you've encountered a difficult question?"
Da Ming struggled to prop up the python's head, his voice hoarse. "Do you know something?"
"What do you think? I just want the truth: did Tang San do something to the ocean?" Yin Hongye remembered that Tang San had taken away the ocean from the Douluo Continent.
"The ocean covers the largest area on the entire planet and is the most massive entity in all of nature. It is a self-contained system. In fact, it was originally part of the control of the Plane Lord," Da Ming finally revealed the truth. "Everything changed after Tang San inherited the Sea God Godhood. Tang San's inheritance of the Sea God's position naturally earned the ocean's recognition, and at that time, he did many things for the ocean."
"Many things, does that mean he almost wiped out the Evil Spirit Orca clan? And condoned the Evil Soul Great White Shark hunting Soul Sea Soul Beast? Since he calls himself the guardian of the sea, Evil Spirit Orca's hunting and predation is Evil God, then he should just be a vegetarian," Yin Hongye scoffed. "Besides, protecting the sea? What a load of crap! When the ocean is in trouble, he doesn't say a word."
His sword was pressed against Er Ming's throat. "Then tell me, is there anything else?"
"Douluo Star is different from the Abyss Plane. The Plane Lord only possesses instinctive consciousness but cannot do anything concrete. Even when a true god descends upon this world, the ruler cannot control the god's actions. After Tang San became a god, he stayed on the Douluo Continent for a considerable period. During this time, the sea deeply believed that he was the true master of the ocean, thus developing a certain degree of rejection towards the original Plane Lord. In fact, the current imbalance in the continent's ecology is largely related to the Plane Lord's inability to control the ocean."
"The Plane Lord lost control of the sea, and the Life Energy he could mobilize decreased significantly. As a result, various problems gradually arose in maintaining the ecological balance. In addition, human development was too rapid, and resource consumption was enormous, which ultimately led to the current situation."
Da Ming roared, "All of this is the fault of you humans developing too fast!"
Yin Hongye was speechless. "Ten thousand years to reach this level? If this is fast, I feel like we could go from the Middle Ages to the Second Industrial Revolution in thirty years. What's so special about that?"
Is it considered a rocket?
