This was not Soul Skill, but a direct release of his Spiritual Power.
The Inverted Spear of Heaven embedded in his shoulder emitted a faint hum. Its domineering laws attempted to suppress the outburst, but faced with the impact of this pure and vast Spiritual Origin, it only delayed it for a negligible moment.
"Laugh!"
The Inverted Spear of Heaven was forcefully forced back and bounced away from Huo Yuhao's shoulder muscles by this violent Spiritual Power.
At the same time, Toji, who was right behind Huo Yuhao, was also violently pushed away by this sudden, pure Spiritual Shock.
The two instantly became several meters apart.
Huo Yuhao didn't even have time to deal with the gushing blood and intense pain on his shoulder; his eyes burned with an unprecedented fighting spirit and madness.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Inverted Spear of Heaven left his body and the suppression of power loosened slightly, he took a step forward with his left foot, his waist and stance becoming one. His right palm, infused with God Level Spiritual Power, carried an ancient, profound, yet seemingly containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and struck out towards Toji, who had been pushed away.
Self-Created Soul Skill and Sovereign's Descent!
This is the culmination of Dragon God Douluo Mu En's life's work.
It is a unique skill that perfectly integrates Spiritual Power and Soul Power, crushing the opponent's soul with mental will and shattering the opponent's body with unparalleled strength.
This was Huo Yuhao's trump card in close combat, and now, driven by his God Level Spiritual Power, the power of this palm strike far surpassed any previous one.
Before the palm strike even arrived, an overwhelming will of "I am the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and earth" surged forth like an invisible mountain, crushing down upon Toji.
They tried to shake his spirit and suppress his fighting will.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao dared to approach him and even unleash a palm technique imbued with spiritual will, Toji's beast-like pupils first flashed with astonishment, then burst forth with an unprecedented, almost manic light.
He smiled.
He grinned, revealing gleaming white teeth; his smile was filled with a pure, childlike excitement and disdain, like a child discovering a new toy.
"Interesting." Toji's deep voice carried an barely suppressed excitement. "In this world, you're the first one who dares to engage me in close combat..."
Just as Huo Yuhao's palm print, imbued with the will to Sovereign's Descent, was about to be imprinted on Toji's chest.
Toji's body swayed with an almost imperceptible movement, like a willow catkin, and Huo Yuhao's powerful palm strike, which seemed capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, actually grazed the edge of his clothes and missed.
A warning sign was blaring in Huo Yuhao's mind.
The techniques are old, but no new strength has emerged.
And just as his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been replenished, a flaw appeared.
A giant hand, like an iron clamp, with irresistible and terrifying power, precisely grabbed Huo Yuhao's wrist as he swung it out.
"Got you?"
Toji's voice carried a hint of mocking coldness.
The next second, the world spun around.
Huo Yuhao felt an indescribable, overwhelming force, as if it could shake mountains, coming from his wrist.
His body was completely out of his control, like a tattered sack, as Toji grabbed his wrist and slammed him hard to the ground.
"Bang!"
The earth seemed to have been struck by a meteorite, emitting a muffled, mournful cry.
A huge crater with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared instantly.
Spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly.
Huo Yuhao was deeply embedded in the scorched, frozen earth.
His entire skeleton groaned under the strain, his internal organs seemed to shift, and he vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.
If it weren't for his God Level Spiritual Power instinctively protecting his entire body at the last moment and offsetting most of the impact, this fall would have been enough to shatter him to pieces.
"Cough..."
Huo Yuhao's vision went black, and the excruciating pain almost made him faint.
But his strong willpower sustained him, and his Spiritual Power erupted once again the moment his body was slammed into the ground.
A powerful mental force, like an invisible giant hand, slammed into Toji was about to bend down and give chase.
Toji's body was pushed backward several meters by this enormous force, plowing two deep furrows in the ground.
He raised an eyebrow in surprise, seemingly not expecting Huo Yuhao to be able to unleash such power after suffering such a severe injury.
Huo Yuhao struggled to climb out of the pit, his body covered in mud and blood. The wound on his left shoulder had reopened during the violent impact, and blood stained half of his body.
But his dark golden Pupils of Asura burned with an indomitable flame.
The God Level Spiritual Power, like boiling lava, surged wildly throughout the body, forcefully supporting this body on the verge of collapse and endowing it with power and reflexes far exceeding its limits.
"It's not over yet."
Huo Yuhao let out a low roar, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and charged towards Toji.
The body, enhanced by Spiritual Power, unleashed astonishing speed, and tangible spiritual flames coalesced on both fists.
Toji the gleam of excitement in his eyes intensified.
He casually stuck the Soul Liberation Blade into the ground and then charged forward empty-handed.
The real close-quarters combat has begun.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The dull, heart-pounding sounds of flesh colliding rang out like heavy hammers striking a war drum.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power drove his body, and every punch and kick contained the immense force to shatter mountains and split rocks, as well as the Spiritual Shock to tear apart the soul.
His movements were as fast as lightning, and his moves were exquisite, blending the unique skills of the Tang Sect Secret Arts with the spirit of Sovereign's Descent, combining Spiritual Power and close combat techniques to the extreme.
However, his opponents were Heavenly Tyrant.
Toji's fighting style completely abandons any fancy techniques, leaving only the most primitive, pure, and violent power and speed.
Each of his strikes was like Ferocious Beast pouncing on its prey—simple, direct, yet containing Destruction power.
His reaction speed was unbelievably fast; Huo Yuhao's attack trajectory, enhanced by his Spiritual Power, seemed to be slowed down several times in his eyes.
He always managed to evade Huo Yuhao's deadly moves with minimal effort and precise timing, while simultaneously unleashing heavier, faster, and more cunning counterattacks upon Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's fist, crackling with spiritual light, hurtled toward Toji's face. Toji merely tilted his head slightly, and the fist grazed past his ear, the force of the blow barely ruffling his disheveled hair.
Toji's backhand punch landed heavily on Huo Yuhao's ribs like a battering ram.
"Snap!"
A clear sound of bone cracking.
Huo Yuhao grunted, his Spiritual Power surging wildly as he forcefully steadied himself, unleashing a sweeping kick imbued with the will to Sovereign's Descent, which slashed across Toji's lower body.
Toji of retreating, he advanced, his knee striking Huo Yuhao's calf precisely at the point of force application, like a cannonball.
"Bang!"
Huo Yuhao's whip kick was forcefully pushed back, and his entire leg instantly went numb.
He gritted his teeth, channeled his Spiritual Power into his arms, and thrust out both palms, attempting to lock Toji's arms with a grappling technique.
Toji's arm muscles bulged like a coiling dragon, and an overwhelming and unstoppable pure power erupted, easily shaking off Huo Yuhao's palms. He then delivered a chop to Huo Yuhao's neck with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air.
