Heavy Xuan Ruler vs. Chidori: Fixed Immortal Travel snatches Electrolux!
As the golden inscriptions of the Eight Trigrams Seal branded themselves onto his dantian, Tang Chuan let out a long breath.
The million-year soul beast was his!
At that same moment, however, Huo Yuhao's brow twitched.
He distinctly sensed several more surges of spiritual energy shooting skyward from all directions across the Star Dou Forest!
Although these fluctuations were nowhere near as powerful as Tang Chuan's or the other presence from earlier, they were by no means weak.
Good grief, was the Star Dou Forest hosting a transmigrator meetup today?
Just then, heavy footsteps sounded nearby.
A youth carrying a black ruler on his back slowly emerged from the forest and stopped a short distance from Tang Chuan.
"I never thought I'd run into someone from back home here."
"You're the one who took the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, aren't you?"
Tang Chuan slowly rose from his cross-legged position, the three tomoe in his Sharingan spinning continuously.
"So what if I am?"
He sneered.
"The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was supposed to belong to Huo Yuhao, the Child of the Plane. We're all here to steal cheats. What makes any of us better than the others?"
"Fair point!"
The black-clad youth showed no anger, merely leveling the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hands.
"But we're from the same home, after all. Now that we've transmigrated to a strange land, surely we can talk things over."
"Give me the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and we can start off on good terms. How about it?"
"It's precisely because we're from the same place that I know what you're after!"
Tang Chuan slipped both hands into his pockets, disdain flashing in his Sharingan.
"Enough talk!"
"If you want the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, fight me for him!"
"Hahahaha, good!"
The black-clad youth threw back his head and laughed.
"In all my years of cultivation, I, Xiao Yan, have never met my match among those at my level!"
"Let's see how many strikes from my Heavy Xuan Ruler you can withstand!"
"What's so special about the Dou Qi Continent's Dou Techniques?"
Tang Chuan extended his right hand, electricity crackling in his palm.
"They might not hold up against my ninjutsu!"
The instant those words left his mouth, both of them moved!
"Lightning Release: Chidori Blade!"
Violent lightning condensed into a long blade over Tang Chuan's right hand, which he brought crashing down against the Heavy Xuan Ruler!
Clang!
The lightning blade collided with the black ruler, unleashing a deafening crash!
"What an overpowering lightning attribute!"
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. Rather than showing the slightest fear, his fighting spirit soared even higher.
They traded more than a dozen rounds of close-quarters blows, neither gaining the upper hand.
The next instant, soul power surged around Tang Chuan, and a stalk of blue silver grass suddenly appeared in his palm.
Three soul rings, one yellow and two purple, circled the blue silver grass.
A thousand-year second ring already exceeded the theoretical maximum soul ring age!
"My blue silver grass martial soul has fused with the kekkei genkai, Wood Release!"
A proud smile curled Tang Chuan's lips.
"Today, you'll see what it can do!"
"Second soul skill!"
"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!"
The purple second soul ring above the blue silver grass suddenly lit up!
With an earth-shaking roar, the ground within a dozen or so meters abruptly split apart!
Countless thick trees seemed to come alive, racing out of the earth and growing wildly!
Their massive branches coiled like giant pythons, trapping Xiao Yan in layer after layer at their center.
As if that were not enough, an enormous, eerie flower bloomed among the branches.
The instant it blossomed, a pale yellow poisonous mist silently spread.
"Poison?"
With his limbs bound by rigid branches, Xiao Yan laughed aloud.
"You dare show off a little poison gas in front of me?"
Xiao Yan pulled a pill from his Storage Soul Tool and swallowed it. A faint green glow instantly enveloped his entire body.
The moment the poison touched that green glow, it dissolved completely, like snow meeting fire.
"I obtained the Flame Emperor Template System. Did you think I wouldn't know how to refine pills?"
"Your Wood Release is decent. Unfortunately for you, it's up against my martial soul, Emperor Flame!"
A multicolored flame rose from Xiao Yan's palm.
Three soul rings, one yellow, one purple, and one black, slowly rose beneath Xiao Yan's feet!
His third soul ring was actually at the ten-thousand-year level, exceeding the normal limits even more than Tang Chuan's!
"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
Multicolored flames flooded the Heavy Xuan Ruler. Xiao Yan swung it down, sending fire blazing into the sky!
A terrifying wave of fire swept outward like a tsunami, reducing the entire grove created by Wood Release to ashes in an instant!
Tang Chuan's Sharingan spun furiously as he tried to discern an opening in Xiao Yan's defenses.
The two immediately clashed again.
Lightning, flames, vines, and a giant ruler flew back and forth as they fought with abandon.
At the edge of the battlefield, Huo Yuhao, who had supposedly "fallen under an illusion," took it all in.
The Douluo Continent had really become a battlefield for gods!
Hokage versus Battle Through the Heavens—back in his old life, clickbait accounts could milk this scene for a month!
Huo Yuhao hardly dared imagine what the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament would look like a year from now.
A bunch of primitive natives of the Douluo Continent, facing transmigrators whose starting point was a thousand-year second ring and who had cheats coming out of their ears...
What a sight. He couldn't bear to look!
While Tang Chuan and Xiao Yan were locked in combat, Huo Yuhao quietly slipped away from his original position and crept toward the other fluctuations of spiritual energy he had sensed earlier.
He might as well take this opportunity to finish off the remaining easy targets!
However, not long after Huo Yuhao left...
The sky above the Star Dou Forest darkened without warning!
A thunderous boom rang out high overhead, and in that instant, darkness completely blotted out the sun!
An indescribably terrifying pressure descended with a crash, as though the heavens themselves were collapsing!
A gray stream of energy suddenly fell from the sky!
Even space warped wherever the gray current passed.
An aura at once deathly still and sacred instantly enveloped the entire forest.
The Holy Necromancer, Electrolux!
"He's here?!"
At the center of the battlefield, Tang Chuan and Xiao Yan stopped fighting at the same time and looked up.
The instant they recognized the gray current, they exchanged a glance.
"He's mine!"
Tang Chuan and Xiao Yan spoke in unison.
"Third soul skill, Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu!"
The third soul ring of Tang Chuan's blue silver grass martial soul instantly lit up.
An enormous wood dragon woven from countless tangled vines burst from the ground. Standing atop its head, he charged toward the descending gray current!
"Second soul skill, Heavenly Flame Transformation Wings!"
The second soul ring of Xiao Yan's Emperor Flame martial soul lit up, and a pair of wings formed from multicolored flames suddenly unfurled behind him.
With a beat of his wings, he too shot into the sky!
Both men raced to claim the gray current overhead.
Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out in the distance.
"Hahahaha, the world truly teems with heroes!"
"But I, Fang, will gladly take the Holy Necromancer!"
The next instant, a powerful spatial fluctuation abruptly appeared!
Drawn in by that spatial fluctuation, the gray current that was Electrolux's divine consciousness fragment plummeted toward another part of the Star Dou Forest!
"Through bitter winds, my body drifts like down; on fate's vast sea, a lone traveler rises and falls!"
"Today I spread my wings and fly; tomorrow I ascend to immortality and lash the phoenix!"
"Hahaha, Fang takes his leave!"
Tang Chuan and Xiao Yan looked toward the voice.
Far off against the sky, the phantom of a jade-green butterfly gently fluttered its wings, then vanished into the wind.
Both their expressions instantly turned utterly grim.
"Fixed Immortal Travel?!"
Tang Chuan forced the name out through gritted teeth.
The Great Love Immortal Venerable's Immortal Gu, Fixed Immortal Travel!
A top-tier Gu that could teleport directly through space, ignoring distance!
There were still other transmigrators here?!
The two of them had fought tooth and nail, only for another transmigrator to use Fixed Immortal Travel to snatch the cheat that was Electrolux right out from under them!
Where were they supposed to go for justice?!
