Huh? Devouring energy? Isn't that right up my alley?

Outside the Sky Screen, in the Divine Realm of the Peerless era, Sea God Tang San frowned when he heard those words.

"Your Golden Trident? What does it have to do with you? You're not the Sea God!"

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm of the Spirit Hall era, Sea God Poseidon nodded in wholehearted agreement.

"Since you've already said the Golden Trident is yours, the position of Sea God is yours too!"

Fortunately, Luo Chen hadn't heard that. Otherwise, he would surely have grilled the Sea God: Why would I want the divine position of a mere First-Level God like you?

Within the Sky Screen, Blood-Weeping Douluo Chu Tiange looked at Luo Chen's Golden Trident, a faint sense of unease stirring within him.

On the other side of the battlefield, the battle between the Snow Empress and Tong Yu had already begun.

Almost no one present had ever heard the name Qilin Douluo Tong Yu. They had assumed he was merely there to make up the numbers, only to see nine blood-red Soul Rings around him.

Their eyes immediately lit up!

It looked like they had a chance of winning the Soul Skill battle too!

Could they actually win two matches in a row today?

If they won both matches, the score would be tied at two to two. As for the final match, the Star Luo Empire had never considered the possibility of losing, nor could they possibly lose.

The one fighting in the final match would undoubtedly be the Star Luo Empire's strongest expert, Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci!

No matter how heaven-defying Luo Chen's talent was, he was simply too young. He couldn't possibly be a match for Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci!

"Emperor's Cold Heaven!"

The instant the Snow Empress's voice fell, swirling snow filled the entire Stadium!

Both its range and its low temperature far surpassed the Ice Empress's Eternal Frozen Domain from yesterday!

"This Soul Spirit's strength already rivals a Limit Douluo's! How is that possible?" En Ci was once again stunned by Luo Chen.

He had already lost count of how many times Luo Chen had shocked him. From his Spiritual Domain to his cultivation, Soul Rings, Mecha, and Soul Spirits, just how many trump cards did Luo Chen have left?

"Surely Luo Chen isn't a Four-Word Battle Armor Master too?"

If he was, En Ci felt he might as well smash his head against a pillar. He had devoted his entire life to nurturing his Battle Armor to the four-word level through an unconventional method.

"Five Elements Domain!"

Tong Yu likewise unleashed his Innate Domain.

A spatial domain formed from the five elemental attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth took shape inside the Stadium.

Within their respective domains, neither side could gain the upper hand for the moment.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chu Tiange looked hesitant and listless.

Naturally, Luo Chen noticed.

"Chu Tiange, if you want to use the Diamond Bangle, hurry up. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even get a chance to use that divine artifact."

Luo Chen spoke with the Golden Trident in hand.

"How dare you!" Luo Chen's words enraged Chu Tiange as well.

A metal ring appeared in Chu Tiange's hand, glowing with an incandescent white light.

An indescribably strange sensation entered Luo Chen's perception.

No way. Is the Golden Trident really going to get sucked away? Luo Chen began to worry.

The Golden Trident is a Super Divine Artifact, while this Diamond Bangle is only a divine artifact. Just how has Sea God Tang San been maintaining the Golden Trident for it to become this pathetic?

Fortunately, the strange sensation lasted only an instant before everything returned to normal.

Instead, the Diamond Bangle in Chu Tiange's hand exploded with a bang.

"A Super Divine Artifact is still a Super Divine Artifact. A divine artifact really can't compare," Luo Chen muttered.

Outside the Sky Screen, Sea God Tang San couldn't help wanting to laugh at the sight.

"I am the mighty Sea God! And a God King! How could a mere divine artifact possibly shake the Super Divine Artifact in my hand?"

Within the Sky Screen, however, Dai Tianling was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out.

"No!!! My empire's guardian divine artifact!! It's just gone???"

"What on earth is Luo Chen holding?"

Chu Tiange froze as well. This...?

What was going on?

While Chu Tiange stood dazed, Luo Chen approached him with the Golden Trident.

"What a hassle," Luo Chen said.

If he could use Soul Skills, a single Unfixed Storm would have ended the match.

Luo Chen raised the Golden Trident and thrust it at Chu Tiange.

Chu Tiange instinctively drew his Heaven-Weeping Sword to block.

"Even without the Diamond Bangle, you couldn't possibly be my match! I've comprehended a Sword Soul," Chu Tiange declared confidently.

He had comprehended a Sword Soul, whereas Luo Chen looked as though he hadn't even grasped the most basic Halberd Intent.

In the spectator stands, Ye Xinglan couldn't help growing excited as she watched Luo Chen and Chu Tiange fight.

Could Luo Chen have comprehended Halberd Intent, or even a Halberd Soul?

After all, the things she pursued throughout her life were the ultimate Sword Intent and Sword Soul!

Meanwhile, system notifications popped up before Luo Chen's eyes as he fought Chu Tiange, just like that.

[Ye Xinglan's affection +1]

[Ye Xinglan's affection +1]

...

[Ye Xinglan's affection +1]

Luo Chen: "???"

What's going on? Why is Ye Xinglan's affection shooting up just from me fighting a match?

Whatever. What can I do when I'm just this charming?

The moment the Golden Trident in Luo Chen's hands met Chu Tiange's Heaven-Weeping Sword, Luo Chen knew this match was in the bag.

The Golden Trident weighed a hundred and eight thousand jin, though that was bottom-of-the-barrel stuff in fantasy worlds.

But in the Douluo Plane, even a Limit Douluo could barely budge something of that weight.

Chu Tiange also realized something was wrong. What pressed against his Heaven-Weeping Sword didn't feel like a weapon.

It felt like a mountain. No matter how hard he exerted himself, he couldn't move it an inch!

Sword Intent, Sword Soul-none of it helped in the slightest.

At that moment, Luo Chen suddenly spoke.

"Chu Tiange, a Sword Soul is indeed powerful, but have you ever heard this saying?" Luo Chen asked with a teasing smile.

"Sheer strength shatters ten thousand arts. Brute force works miracles."

Luo Chen let go of the Golden Trident.

Before Chu Tiange lost consciousness, he had only one thought: The sky is falling!

After the Golden Trident knocked Chu Tiange unconscious, Luo Chen retrieved it and headed to the other battlefield.

By now, the battle had become completely one-sided, with the Snow Empress holding an overwhelming advantage.

Tong Yu, however, seemed ready to stake his life on one final struggle!

"Ninth Soul Skill, Five Elements Divine Light Shield!"

An enormous five-colored barrier enveloped the entire Stadium, even affecting the Snow Empress's domain. Countless snowflakes were absorbed by the five-colored barrier, converted into colorless energy, and channeled into Tong Yu's body.

"Huh? Devouring energy? Isn't that right up my alley?"

Nine red Soul Rings appeared around Luo Chen as he unleashed his Devouring Ancestral Talisman Martial Soul once again.

"Want to see who can absorb more? You think I'm scared of you? Devouring Ancestral Talisman, devour!"

A dazzling black hole appeared in midair inside the Stadium.

Along with it came an immense suction force!

Not only did it draw in the energy within the Five Elements Domain, but even Tong Yu's five-colored barrier was sucked inside!

Most shocking of all, the black hole wasn't merely absorbing the surrounding energy. Luo Chen was even absorbing the Five Elements Energy inside Tong Yu's body!

"Xue'er, let's attack together," Luo Chen said.

"Okay, Daddy!"

Luo Chen: "???"

Luo Chen switched to his Ice Ancestral Talisman Martial Soul.

The two adopted almost identical opening stances.

"Ice Extremity, Peerless Emperor Sword!"
