Fierce battle with a Quasi-God, Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique (6,000 words)

"Now that you're here, why rush to leave?"

As he said this, a figure that Er Ming found particularly memorable came into his field of vision.

On Devil Island, Huo Yuhao stepped out of the barrier formed by Destruction energy. Before the Destruction energy could even touch him, it parted to make way for him.

This sight made Er Ming feel uneasy.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't tacitly accepted the God of Fire God's identity, he might have even suspected that this person was the reincarnation of the God of Destruction. After all, the scene before him showed that Huo Yuhao had a deep understanding of the Laws of Destruction, and the God of Destruction and the Sea God did indeed have a bad relationship, so it was understandable that he was hostile to them.

These thoughts flashed through Er Ming's mind for a moment before he dismissed Er Ming, looking warily at the eight orange Soul Ring that rose above Huo Yuhao's body as he walked.

That's right, eight!

Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level had reached the level of Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, but in Er Ming's perception, his aura was comparable to that of those level ninety-seven Super Douluo!

"He went from level 73 to level 82 in just six months? How much of his strength has he recovered?"

Er Ming's expression was extremely solemn.

In contrast, Huo Yuhao walked to Er Ming with a more relaxed demeanor, and smiled slightly when he saw Erming's solemn expression.

In the past six months, by absorbing Destruction Fragment and Creation Fragment, coupled with enlightenment, the fusion of two Soul Ring, and the Hundred Thousand Years right arm bone provided by Li Ya, his Soul Power cultivation directly broke through to level 82.

And this was just the least remarkable of his many achievements.

However, it's hard to say whether Huo Yuhao is stronger now or in his current state compared to when he fought Er Ming, since he previously had Old Yi's Divine Consciousness supporting him, but that's no longer the case.

But he was confident that he could face Er Ming, a Peak Quasi-God powerhouse, alone!

"Your Majesty, what do you wish to do?" Er Ming a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, while also preparing to call for help.

Well, if this person intends to kill, they should open a dimensional portal and notify Ah Yin and Da Ming, who are currently in their small dimension.

Three against one, the advantage is in my hands!

Well, at least he won't get beaten to death.

As if guessing Er Ming's thoughts, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.

"No need to be so tense. I've just gained some insights and want to find someone to spar with to test them out. Since you've come to my territory today, you should leave some toll."

Although I don't know why Er Ming came, his arrival is timely. A Peak Quasi-God who doesn't hold back and doesn't need to hold back is hard to find.

Upon hearing Er Ming, Erming's tense expression did not immediately relax, but he began to ponder.

The fact that he didn't immediately try to kill him suggests that this person isn't interested in taking his life.

That's true. Even disregarding the fact that he can summon people at any time, he is now a Spirit Envoy of the Spirit Pagoda, so he must consider the Spirit Pagoda and the overall situation when making decisions.

The Spirit Pagoda is a large and powerful organization, while he and Da Ming have nothing to lose. If the other party were to actually kill him now, Da Ming would definitely do everything in his power to avenge him. In that case, the reincarnated god might be fine, but it's hard to say how many people in the Spirit Pagoda would die, or how many of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars would be destroyed.

After all, the Da Ming Dynasty was too powerful. With the help of the power of the plane, it could even reach the God Rank. Apart from a few people, no one else could stop it. By getting around those few people, the Da Ming would be invincible.

Moreover, he and Da Ming are now clearly Ah Yin's people, and also Ah Yin's agents, who are physically disabled Second Rank God.

He had only come to check on Devil Island and had no intention of clashing with Huo Yuhao. If Huo Yuhao was going to kill him under these circumstances, it would mean that Huo Yuhao didn't care about the Abyss or the bigger picture. It would also mean that even with the Abyss nearby, Huo Yuhao might still turn on Ah Yin!

For her own safety, Ah Yin would also take preemptive action to kill Huo Yuhao.

After all, this is different from the previous conflict between the two sides over Shrek and the Golden Ancient Tree. That was just a struggle over positions and resources. Although the two sides had grudges, it was not a life-or-death feud.

Therefore, Ah Yin could tolerate it for the sake of the bigger picture and Huo Yuhao's identity as the reincarnation of First Rank God, and could wait until the Abyss Plane was resolved before resolving the conflict between the two sides. As long as Huo Yuhao, the reincarnation of a First Rank God, did not show any murderous intent towards them and did not intend to ruin the Ten Thousand Year Plan, it would be fine.

However, if Huo Yuhao clearly doesn't care about the Abyss and insists on eliminating dissidents at this time, showing his determination to kill them and Ah Yin, then for Ah Yin, Huo Yuhao's threat priority will instantly surpass that of the Abyss!

The revelation that Douluo possesses Second Rank God at most means Tang San's Ten Thousand Year Plan will be declared bankrupt, the Abyssal Sage King will be unable to enter, and Ah Yin will still be alive. But to keep a First Rank God reincarnation who could regain his strength at any time and could turn against him at any time is to risk one's own life!

If you can live, why wait to die for the greater good?

Plans are not as important as life.

Unless this Fire God has regained his strength, anyone who isn't a fool wouldn't test Ah Yin's bottom line as a Second Rank God, as that would be tantamount to forcing Ah Yin to fight him to the death.

Having figured this out, Er Ming felt that his life was still safe and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Just then, Huo Yuhao made his move.

He activated his Martial Soul Avatar, his figure moving like Gui Mei as he took a step forward.

Although there were still dozens of meters between the two, Huo Yuhao's figure seemed to ignore space as he took this step, suddenly appearing less than three meters in front of Er Ming.

He raised his right hand, palm up, fingers slightly spread. Space twisted strangely in his palm, and a miniature, rapidly spinning chaotic vortex quietly appeared.

Birth and death, Creation and Destruction —two diametrically opposed Laws —seemed to have reached a strange yet harmonious dynamic balance within that small vortex.

Er Ming saw the incoming palm strike, he didn't sense any Divine Consciousness consciousness within it. He immediately realized that the person before him hadn't used the "Previous Life Dao Fruit" but was striking with his current cultivation level. However, he dared not underestimate this attack.

The Laws of Destruction is the most destructive of all Laws!

Er Ming mobilized his vast qi and Qi and Blood and Soul Power, merging them into one, and with a special force exertion technique, he unleashed a powerful punch.

Titan Divine Fist!

A punch and a palm strike collided, and a violent impact exploded instantly.

Er Ming sensed that Huo Yuhao's palm strike not only contained the laws of Destruction and Laws of Creation, but also a Laws power he couldn't understand. When their fists and palms collided, that Laws power disappeared, and the forces of Destruction and Power of Creation immediately clashed and exploded on his fist, causing a powerful explosion.

A violent surge of energy, accompanied by blinding light, instantly engulfed the two, shattering the space around them.

The two men groaned, thrown back several steps by the shockwave from the explosion.

This tentative attack resulted in a draw!

An 80th-level Soul Douluo and this Peak Quasi-God are evenly matched?!

Er Ming's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

This time, the person before them wasn't using Divine Consciousness enhancement, nor did they employ any extraordinary trump cards besides that strange Martial Soul Avatar; they weren't even wearing Battle Armor.

Yes, Huo Yuhao didn't use his Battle Armor. Er Ming could guess the reason: there wasn't enough time to upgrade all the Two-Word Battle Armor pieces to Three-Word Battle Armor. With only some individual pieces of the Three-Word Battle Armor, the bonuses weren't even as strong as a complete set of Two-Word Battle Armor. In a battle at their level, it would be basically useless and more likely to be damaged.

In this situation, it's simply outrageous that the opponent, with a cultivation level of 80, can rival Peak Quasi-God!

Compared to Er Ming's shock and grim expression, Huo Yuhao glanced at his still trembling right hand, then at Er Ming's right hand injured by the Power of Destruction, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Previously, at the Soul Saint stage, with the support of the Ice Empress Avatar, which was comparable to a four- Demigod Four-Word Battle Armor, he was confident in suppressing other Demigod when fighting them, even if they were wearing Four-Word Battle Armor.

However, facing Quasi-God, especially those at the Peak Quasi-God level, it is not so easy to fight them on the same stage without using unconventional trump cards.

After all, his ability to fight beyond his level is based on his understanding and application of various Laws, techniques, and even the essence of energy, which far surpasses that of ordinary people. However, if he were to face an opponent at the Quasi-God level, these advantages would diminish. They are all beings who have come a long way on the path to God Rank, with no weaknesses. To be on par with them, or even to defeat them, would naturally not be so easy.

(Note: Tang Wulin only had the strength of Quasi-God with three Soul Core, level 98, and the Seven Metals Heavenly Forging Four-Word Battle Armor. He could only be considered Peak Quasi-God after breaking through level 99, so don't think that Quasi-God are weak.)

However, that was before.

His current Soul Power cultivation level appears to be level 82, but it is almost comparable to Level 97 Super Douluo.

Although he doesn't have the support of Battle Armor, the amplification from the Ice Empress Avatar makes him a level 97 Four-Word Battle Armor master. Combined with his other strengths, in terms of regular combat power alone, he already has the ability to fight against Peak Quasi-God head-on!

"This battle will allow me to properly test the results of the past six months!" Huo Yuhao's fighting spirit surged, and with a flick of his body, he prepared to take the initiative to attack again!

Er Ming this, Erming quickly stepped back, making it clear he was ready to flee at any moment, and said, "Since Your Majesty wishes to fight me, I can oblige, but you must offer me something in return, right? For example, hand over those seven souls to me, otherwise I have no reason to fight you!"

After observing the state of the Seven Old Devils, he discovered that their souls were intact, and with their combined abilities and Ah Yin's, they could be resurrected. Since that was the case, he figured he might as well take this opportunity to acquire them; it would make the trip worthwhile.

Huo Yuhao stopped and said calmly, "If you dare to call for help or leave directly through the small dimension, I will destroy your small dimension!"

Er Ming:

You're too domineering.

However, he really didn't dare to gamble on whether this reincarnation of the Fire God could destroy their small plane without Ah Yin going all out.

Well, if it's just a normal sparring match to test what he's learned in this life, it should be fine, right? Surely the opponent can't unleash a God Rank ultimate move at level 97 without using Divine Consciousness, can they?

Thinking of this, Er Ming said somewhat helplessly, "Then how about we add a wager, make a bet? If we don't use any God Rank power, and I win, how about you hand over the seven of them to me?"

Er Ming initiated the "God King's Bet" passed down from Tang San.

"I refuse!"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

Er Ming: "--

-"

Why not agree to the bet? I've seen Tang San use it, and it always works perfectly.

Seeing his expression, Huo Yuhao seemed to see through Er Ming's thoughts and told a joke.

Do you know why the Golden Dragon King was able to break through the Divine Realm and cause the fall of Gods?

"Why?" Er Ming asked instinctively.

"Because he didn't make a bet with Tang San!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Er Ming's face instantly became incredibly expressive.

In this person's eyes, is betting Tang San's strongest "Soul Skill"? Did the Golden Dragon King win big because he didn't bet?

On the other side, after Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he said no more. With a wave of his hand, raging flames suddenly rose up, accompanied by the Laws of Destruction, turning the flames into black flames. The Ultimate heat made Er Ming's skin feel a stinging pain, and the air was filled with a scorching atmosphere.

The Laws of Destruction, when combined with most Soul Skill, can enhance the power of those Soul Skill.

Seeing this, Er Ming realized that if he didn't fight this pointless battle, the other side wouldn't let him leave, so he had no choice but to fight, and his whole body glowed with golden light.

"Indestructible Vajra!"

This is a powerful defensive Soul Skill derived from his bloodline, even stronger than the Invincible Shield in those Soul Tool, enough to withstand most attacks below the God Rank.

The Destruction black flames struck the golden light, emitting a hissing sound as they burned. The golden light fluctuated violently, but ultimately it was not broken.

However, this was just the beginning. After blocking this attack, Er Ming began to truly feel Huo Yuhao's strength.

The Laws of Destruction, the Laws of Creation, the Laws of Space, the Ultimate Fire, and... the Ultimate Ice?

Feeling the bone-chilling cold emanating from Huo Yuhao's fist, which seemed capable of freezing even the soul, Er Ming shivered and hurriedly circulated his Qi and Blood to shake off his opponent in order to avoid being Ice Seal. At the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart.

Aren't you supposed to be the Fire God?!

Why learn something so terrible, like turning Extreme Misfortune Turns to Fortune, and then using Ultimate Ice?

Because Huo Yuhao transformed between the two Extreme Attribute of ice and fire in front of Er Ming, Er Ming believed that Huo Yuhao's ability to use Ultimate Ice was obviously obtained by turning Ultimate Fire into Extreme Misfortune Turns to Fortune.

After all, Huo Yuhao is the Fire God.

Despite his inner grumbling, Er Ming dared not slacken his movements. Huo Yuhao's attacks were like a whirlwind, unpredictable and ever-changing. Each of the accompanying powers was terrifying on its own, yet all were under the control of the person before him, making even this experienced Quasi-God feel troubled.

However, he was also among the top Quasi-God. Even the Peak Quasi-God of the Federation wearing Four-Word Battle Armor were no match for him, so how could he be easily suppressed? After a brief period of adaptation, Er Ming's fighting rhythm began to return.

"Titan Skybreaker!"

Er Ming stopped passively defending. He used his control over gravity to instantly compress the air into terrifying energy and blasted it towards Huo Yuhao, shattering the space along the way.

As his Ninth Soul Skill when he transforms into human form, this move is naturally extremely powerful.

Huo Yuhao's eyes were deep, and in his hand, he rapidly condensed a colorful elemental sword, primarily composed of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire, supplemented by the five attributes of earth, Light-Dark, and space.

This is not a simple accumulation of elements, but rather he forcibly reconciled the opposition and conflict of the seven basic elements by using the concepts of "when things reach their worst, they begin to Extreme Misfortune Turns to Fortune" and "the Laws of Reincarnation," thus achieving a brief and dangerous balance.

"Emperor Sword - Seven Luminaries Return to the Void!"

Huo Yuhao slashed the elemental sword, which contained Destruction balance, at the crushing "Skybreaker" energy pillar!

The sword light struck the energy pillar, instantly expanding into an elemental annihilation storm that tore apart and devoured Er Ming's Soul Skill. The energy pillar of "Skybreaker" dimmed and thinned at a visible speed, eventually dissipating completely.

The elemental annihilation storm formed by "Seven Luminaries Return to the Void" consumed most of its power and shrank in size, but the remaining storm still had enough power to sweep towards Er Ming himself!

In this attack, Huo Yuhao had a slight advantage!

Er Ming brushed aside the remaining Elemental Storm rushing towards him, and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement as he recalled the heart-pounding feeling he had when facing that seven-elemental sword.

Good heavens, Huo Yuhao, like Gu Yuena, has mastered the seven elements. He truly deserves to be one of the Seven Elemental Gods! If someone at the limit Limit encountered that move, they would probably be dead already!

"However, the most important thing is indeed that unknown Laws power. If it hadn't harmonized the power of the seven elements, the power of that move just now wouldn't have been so terrifying. What exactly is that Laws that harmonizes the seven elements, harmonizes the power of Destruction and Power of Creation? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Er Ming was puzzled, but remembering the escalating intensity of the battle, he could only suppress his confusion.

He took a deep breath, used Power of Space to land on the ground, and used several Soul Skill in succession.

Titan's Strength, amplifying strength.

The Power of the Earth; amplify yourself by harnessing the earth's strength.

Vajra Titan, all attributes are amplified.

Next is----

"Titan's Roar!"

A giant ape's illusory head, as if roared out by Er Ming, transformed into a ferocious mental attack and charged towards Huo Yuhao!

Faced with this sudden mental roar, Huo Yuhao's chaotic Reincarnation of reincarnation in his eyes flashed slightly, and the Divine Power containing the meaning of Reincarnation transformed into a barrier, easily blocking the Divine Power attack.

Er Ming quickly regretted using a mental attack first, because after that mental attack, eight more Soul Ring appeared around Huo Yuhao, bringing the total number of Soul Ring to sixteen!

Er Ming knows that this is a feat only very few people with Twin Martial Souls can achieve—using two Martial Soul simultaneously! (Note: In the early stages of Douluo Continent II, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao could use two Martial Soul simultaneously, but Huo Yuhao couldn't do it anymore later, and it was later patched up, becoming a more difficult technique.)

Although most Soul Masters with Twin Martial Souls can use both Martial Soul simultaneously, they have to stop after using one or two Soul Skill and switch back to using only one Martial Soul. However, even when using Twin Martial Souls simultaneously, it's generally impossible to display all the Soul Ring of both Martial Soul. Since this person in front of him can display all the Soul Ring of both Martial Soul, Er Ming doesn't think he can't maintain it.

If one Martial Soul has so many abilities, how bizarre would it be to use two Martial Soul simultaneously?!

However, the ferocious offensive that Er Ming had imagined did not materialize.

After Huo Yuhao used his dual Martial Soul, he only used a few Soul Skill and then maintained his previous battle strategy without changing his fighting style, which Er Ming.

The seven old demons standing to the side had already figured it out.

Huo Yuhao is treating Er Ming, just like he did with them before.

The difference is that Er Ming is a high-level sparring partner and has relatively more freedom, while they are low-level sparring partners and have no freedom.

"That demon is currently mainly experimenting with Creation, Destruction, and the power of that unknown Laws; it shouldn't be using that terrifying state, right?"

Watching the two figures locked in fierce combat on Devil Island, the aftershocks of their clash of Laws causing the entire island to tremble, the Old Devil Destruction asked in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, the other old demons recalled the scene they had witnessed half a month ago, and a chill involuntarily crept into their souls.

Old Devil Nightmare couldn't help but want to warn Er Ming, but—it was too late.

"That's about enough. Although I'd like to test those Soul Skill that incorporate the essence of Divine Skill, the Ice Empress Avatar has consumed too much energy and isn't suited for prolonged battles. Let's wait until next time."

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, under Er Ming's watchful gaze, his attack slowed down, making the latter suspicious.

What's wrong? Is it because its Soul Power is too depleted and it's about to end this?

Although Er Ming didn't know how much Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Avatar consumed, one could imagine the immense Soul Power consumed by an 82-level Soul Douluo —no, even if we consider him a 97-level Super Douluo —forcibly maintaining his output at the peak of the Peak Quasi-God. Even if he could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he would eventually find himself unable to make ends meet.

"It seems he eventually has his Limit."

Er Ming felt somewhat relieved, even letting out a faint sigh of relief. If Huo Yuhao hadn't used his "Previous Life Dao Fruit" and had instead worn him down in a battle of attrition against Peak Quasi-God with only his eighth-ring cultivation, that would have truly defied expectations. Now it seemed that the opponent's endurance was perhaps his biggest weakness at the moment.

So, if the opponent voluntarily withdrew, does that mean he won the fight?

He defeated the reincarnation of the Fire God?

Just as this thought arose in Er Ming's mind, a sudden feeling of unease came over him, causing him to turn all his attention back to Huo Yuhao.

In his horrified gaze, Huo Yuhao's Third Soul Ring of his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul suddenly shone brightly, and the sixteen Soul Ring around him seemed to have overlapped together using a stacking technique, and a gray domain appeared as well.

Finally, as the stacked Soul Ring transformed into eight dazzling Golden Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao's aura and appearance underwent a dramatic change!

His figure gradually matured and became taller, his sky-blue eyes seemed to churn with chaos, deep and bright; looking closely, one could almost see the ultimate truths of the universe within them, and his heroic face exuded a sacred aura.

The Seven Old Devils trembled as they looked at Huo Yuhao, whose aura had become unfathomable.

"Run! Run!" Old Devil Nightmare roared desperately, "True God, quickly connect to your Demiplane!"

Unlike the Old Devil Nightmare's anxiety, Tian Meng in Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea was laughing incessantly.

Huo Yuhao's greatest improvement over the past six months has not been in his Soul Power, nor in the power of the three Laws.

Instead, it was achieved by fusing the Power of Creation and the Power of Destruction into two Martial Soul, and finally completed through the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation and the Laws of Reincarnation.

"Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique - Reincarnation Avatar!"

Having completed his Martial Soul Fusion, Huo Yuhao glanced at Er Ming, slowly raised his palm, and unified his essence, Essence, Energy, and Spirit, and spirit. Using Reincarnation Unification and the Ice Devouring Extreme Flame as his foundation, the conflicting energies of Creation, Destruction, and the seven elements converged in his hand, transforming into a colorful lotus.

At that moment, in Er Ming's vision, where cold sweat beaded on his forehead, the sky instantly darkened, Plane Tribulation Lightning began to brew.

This also made him realize what kind of attacks he would face next.

"Lan Muzi, you've screwed me over!"

Before the words were even finished, an attack at the God Rank and Seven-Colored Lightning Tribulation descended almost simultaneously!

The Light of Destruction shone upon the entire Devil Island!
