Da Dou Shi-Level Inheritance (Please Follow for More)

"Screech!"

Deep within the Lone Peak Gorge, the Azure Flame Demon Eagle emitted a piercing, mournful screech that sounded like the final flash of light before death, the searing, blazing azure flames burning atop its dual wings growing so faint at this moment they were practically on the verge of extinguishing before it finally lost control and plummeted from midair, accompanied by agonizing pain within its divine soul.

A flash of playful derision and greed swept across the eccentric, vertical pupils of the Seven-Tailed Illusion Crystal Fox, its throat emitting a low, joyful fox-like whine before seven massive, crystalline fox tails whipped out like vicious dragons bursting from their lair, fiercely blasting down toward the head of the falling Azure Flame Demon Eagle!

If this strike landed solidly, the head of the Azure Flame Demon Eagle would instantly be pierced and pulverized!

Yet at that very nick of time, just as that ferocious tail shadow was a mere few feet away from the Azure Flame Demon Eagle!

The previously bright sky overhead abruptly dimmed, and a terrifying, destructive pressure that outstripped even the descent of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast slammed down violently, resembling the pouring torrent of a Milky Way from the nine heavens!

"That is..."

The hard, purple crystal armor covering the entire body of the Seven-Tailed Illusion Crystal Fox—which had previously been assured of victory—suddenly bristled and stood on end as a terror born from the depths of its marrow caused its massive fox torso to tremble like a sifter!

Yet before this cunning seven-millet-year Soul Beast could execute a dodging maneuver—

"Screech!"

The black figure suspended high in the air suddenly flung his eyes wide open at this very instant!

Homelander's crimson destructive heat vision, formidable enough to melt through heaven and earth, surged forth without the slightest reservation!

And the second soul skill, Destruction Death Ray, which had just finished absorbing and forming, erupted in a fierce overlap accompanied by an eye-piercing, drop-deep purple divine radiance!

Physical destruction and spiritual annihilation fused together at this very moment!

Two destructive divine rays as thick as water barrels, entirely wreathed in dark-red blazing flames and deep-purple divine radiance, tore through layers of the void with a speed that outstripped even the limits of nervous reflexes, piercing straight down from above the firmament!

"Boom!"

Beneath those two destructive death rays that resembled world-destroying divine punishments, the Seven-Tailed Illusion Crystal Fox upon the precipice and the rapidly plunging Azure Flame Demon Eagle had their heads directly punctured by that terrifying high temperature and soul-strangling strike!

"Phew..."

Xiao Dong descended from midair, exhaling a long plume of white vapor while his pair of pitch-black pupils was filled with arrogance and wild exhilaration.

This sort of lethality that perfectly super-imposed physical divine abilities with divine soul death rays was truly formidable to the point of defying reason!

"Hum!"

As the gunpowder smoke was gradually blown away by the mountain breeze, two dark rings—one deep and one shallow, radiating formidable soul power fluctuations—slowly rose and suspended themselves in midair.

One ring emitted a dense, profound dark nether-glow, belonging precisely to that unfortunate seventy-thousand-year Seven-Tailed Illusion Crystal Fox!

Beside it, the other ring appeared slightly more ethereal, overflowing with ripples of azure wind-flame, naturally originating from that thirty-thousand-year Azure Flame Demon Eagle!

"Come at the right time!"

Xiao Dong sneered, summoning with a wave of his palm to directly draw that profound black ring radiating seventy-thousand-year ferocious might right before him, crossing his legs to sit down in meditation as a wisp of warm, jade-like, milk-white Purifying Lotus Demon Flame quietly manifested between his brows, expanding against the wind to swallow that seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring in a single gulp with peerlessly tyrannical force!

"Hiss, hiss!"

The berserk grievances of the Soul Beast lacked even the qualification to stir up a ripple before they completely dissolved under the relentless purification of the demon flame, transforming into the purest, rolling torrent that poured unhindered through all the acupoints across Xiao Dong's body!

"Rumble!"

The very instant the third soul ring entered his body, a startling roar akin to a bursting river embankment instantly resounded within Xiao Dong's meridians!

The threshold of full completion that had securely rested right at level thirty was instantly shattered like a thin layer of paper under the terrifying energy onslaught of the seventy-thousand-year soul ring!

Level thirty-one!

Level thirty-four!

Level thirty-seven!

Level thirty-nine!

"Boom!"

As the final indestructible barrier within his body collapsed and fragmented with a resounding crash, Xiao Dong's momentum surged wildly across his entire body at a terrifying speed that made one's scalp tingle, and amid the thundering resonance of his meridians, that skyrocketing soul power fluctuation steadily came to a halt right upon the brand-new threshold of level forty!

Three-ring Soul Elder perfection, level-fourty quasi-Soul Ancestor!

"Hahahahaha!"

Xiao Dong suddenly opened his eyes, and feeling the turbulent, violently surging power within his body, he ultimately could not suppress himself from throwing his head back in a long laugh.

"Just as this young master anticipated, so long as the soul ring age is high enough, the so-called cultivation barriers of this Douluo Continent are utterly a joke to me!"

The next moment.

"Crack!"

The cluster of dormant golden divine radiance deep within his mind violently trembled, and faintly, crisp sounds of iron chains shattering echoed explosively within his consciousness.

Xiao Yan Inheritance, Da Dou Shi tier, officially unlocked!

Three archaic scroll phantoms flowing with brilliant radiance throughout their entire bodies resembled three stars falling from beyond the heavens, carrying an extremely formidable pressure as they deeply branded themselves into the depths of Xiao Dong's mind.

The first stream of information scattered, causing a massive azure ancient bell phantom to vibrate within his sea of consciousness as ripples resembling substantive sound waves diffused outward, actually tearing fine, black traces into the surrounding void.

High Xuan tier sonic Dou Technique, Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant!

Immediately following, the second scroll dissolved explosively, countless brilliant silver bolts of lightning slithering and galloping from the formless void, while faintly, sharp, piercing screeches resembling a roc spreading its wings to tear through wind and lightning resounded aloud.

Low Earth tier movement Dou Technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movement!

Finally, the third ball of light slowly unfurled under Xiao Dong's gaze, its entire body crimson-red like blood, emitting a heart-palpitating, tyrannical fluctuation.

Special burst secret technique, Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, first transformation!

"Phew..."

Feeling the three peerless martial arts and secret techniques within his mind, Xiao Dong could not help but exhale a long plume of searing white vapor, unmaskable joy welling up within his eyes.

This inheritance of the Da Dou Shi tier was truly formidable enough to startle the mind!

As a rare sonic martial art, the Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant perfectly compensated for his vacancy in large-scale intimidation and group offenses; once deployed, the roar of a tiger and the howl of a lion would shatter gold and stone.

Meanwhile, the earth-tier movement technique Three Thousand Lightning Movement was an absolute pinnacle among movement martial arts, utilizing the power of lightning to temper one's physique, rendering one as swift as a ghost and tearing the air apart like an exploding wind and thunderclap. If further coordinated with his already incomparably formidable Homelander Physique, the dual superposition would likely leave few in the entire Douluo Continent capable of keeping pace with his residual shadow speed!

As for the most tyrannical Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations first transformation, it was truly a life-or-death offensive grand technique in the truest sense!

Using the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame—ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking—which he possessed within his body as a catalyst, once he drove this first heavenly fire transformation at full force, his own combat power could erupt and skyrocket by a horrifying margin within a short span of time!

"Given my current means, even without deploying my trump cards, I can roam unhindered before Super Douluos. If I am truly driven to desperation and open this first heavenly fire transformation..."

A corner of his mouth hooked upward, cold light surging within Xiao Dong's pitch-black pupils.

Slowly subduing the elation in his heart, his gaze shifted slightly and finally came to rest upon the pitch-black ring still quietly suspended in midair not far beside him.

That belonged to the thirty-thousand-year soul ring of that unfortunate Azure Flame Demon Eagle.

"The inheritance is already in hand, so next, I should properly put my conjecture to the test..."

Xiao Dong's gaze narrowed slightly, his right hand lifting gently as that wisp of milk-white flame between his brows quietly rose, precisely the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

"Go!"

Accompanied by a low shout falling within Xiao Dong's heart, the milk-white demon flame expanded against the wind, transforming into a sea of fire that directly swallowed the entire thirty-thousand-year pitch-black soul ring within it.
