A Single Sword Strike Shatters the Clear Sky!

Bo Saixi looked at the man who had been slammed into the sea by his palm, his body hunched over, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his hands limp and powerless as he supported himself with the handle of the Clear Sky Hammer. But at this moment, his eyes were incredibly bright, revealing the relief of surviving a disaster and the joy of passing the test.

The Sixth Trial of the Sea God had ended. After hesitating for a long time, she finally sighed Youyou, lowered her raised hand, and forced a broad smile onto her beautiful face, saying, "Tang San, congratulations, you have passed the Sixth Trial of the Sea God."

Tang San could no longer sense any killing intent from Bo Saixi. He lowered his head, his eyes filled with gloom, and cursed inwardly. However, he was still very wary of Bo Saixi's overwhelming strength just now, so he could only pretend to be nonchalant and say, "Thank you for your mercy, Lady Bo Saixi. Otherwise, I would not have been able to pass this test."

If it weren't for his Invincible Golden Body, a skill that's practically cheating, he wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single blow from Bo Saixi with his current strength. This reminded him of Yu Tianshuang -shattering sword strike in the palace. He himself had now passed most of the God Trial, and his Sea God Affinity exceeded fifty percent. Could he, like Yu Tianshuang, mobilize some Divine Power?

Bo Saixi shook his head frankly. This descendant of the Clear Sky Sect was incredibly similar to that person—equally brilliant and unruly—but this person was far more intelligent. "I didn't hold back. Your success is due to your own ability. Actually, I intended to kill you during this assessment; you should have sensed that, but I didn't expect you to..."

Tang San passed the Sixth Trial of the Sea God. Bo Saixi knew that things were beyond repair and had accepted her fate. Since she was going to die anyway, it didn't matter if she admitted it openly. But at that moment, she suddenly felt an indescribable throbbing in her heart, as if she had lost something important. This feeling made her feel a long-lost pain, and she couldn't help but bend over and cover her chest.

Rewind to half an hour earlier, in the Star Dou Great Forest, the clash between Yu Tianshuang and the King of Slaughter had created a huge crater in the forest. However, for the vast forest, this damage was insignificant.

No, although his current strength is undoubtedly level 99, compared to a proper level 99 Peerless Douluo, he is still not that powerful. He cannot use Soul Skill and can only rely on the blood-red greatsword in his hand and his powerful physical strength to attack. This is his absolute disadvantage, while this is exactly the capital that Yu Tianshuang can use to fight him.

Possessing the Big Dipper Seven Origins Purple Seal, his body and spirit are constantly tempered, giving him a slight advantage in power clashes. At the same time, his powerful Divine Power also exempts him from the corrosive bloodlust of the King of Slaughter. As he can only attack with the blood-red greatsword in his hand, even if the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi is not attached to a Soul Ring, its quality is not much worse than the blood-red greatsword in his hand.

The King of Slaughter's body also suffered some damage, with a layer of frost covering his skin. However, the Slaughter Domain and crimson killing intent that had seeped into his body acted like boiling bubbles, directly repairing the damage.

The King of Slaughter was furious. In his eyes, this lowly insect dared to harm him, which he could not tolerate. His blood-red eyes suddenly blazed with red light, hovering in the air. He raised his blood-red greatsword high with both hands, and instantly, a surge of blood energy appeared, transforming directly into a blood-red longsword that was a hundred meters tall.

Seeing this, Yu Tianshuang knew that the King of Slaughter was preparing to go all out and finish him off in one strike. The exaggerated visual effect made him realize that even if he used the Ice Shadow Seven Star Steps at full power, he probably wouldn't be able to dodge this sword's power and range. Since that was the case, his pride was also ignited. Let's see whose sword is sharper.

With his Right Arm Soul Bone accumulated to the fifth level, the Tide of Condensed Snow was activated, amplifying the power of this attack by more than double. Then, all the buffs were activated simultaneously: dual domains, Ice Emperor's Blessing, the Seven Kill Sword Intent combined, the full-force Gathering Ring Fusion, and most importantly, he had converted one-tenth of his True Essence Power and poured it all into the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi in his hand. This next sword strike would be his strongest attack at present.

The King of Slaughter looked down at the aura below, which had been fully unleashed, turning the area within a hundred meters into a world of ice and snow. The once lush and verdant Star Dou Great Forest had now become Frozen Forest, which moved him deeply. However, his eyes turned even more blood red, and the hundred-meter-long blood-red sword aura he held high solidified once more.

"Die, brat! You'll pay with your life for everything you've done!"

The Blood-Red Giant Sword, a hundred meters tall, in the hands of the King of Slaughter had materialized. Looking down at Yu Tianshuang, who was in the world of ice and snow, he gripped it tightly and swung it down fiercely. The mere movement of the Blood-Red Giant Sword turned the trees below to ashes, and the enormous impact caused the ground to sink several meters before collapsing.

"You're the one who deserves to Slaughter City! Even if I had the choice a hundred or ten thousand times, I would still Destruction this place, King of Slaughter! Prepare for your doom! Ice Heaven Frost Sword: Cold Night Condenses Heaven!"

Facing the imposing, blood-red giant sword, Yu Tianshuang's eyes were icy white as she coldly stared at the attack in the sky that seemed to want to crush everything into dust. An ice surface automatically condensed on the collapsed ground beneath her feet. Her right hand, which held the sword, slowly loosened its grip, and the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi automatically floated in front of her. As Yu Tianshuang's right hand formed a sword finger, she pointed it towards the sky.

The Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, carrying immense power, was no longer recognizable as it had been. It had completely transformed into a snow-white longsword. As Yu Tianshuang pointed out, the sword of Heavenly Frost Cold Qi began to expand wildly, eventually transforming into a snow-white giant sword several times larger than the hundred-meter-long blood-red giant sword that had slashed down from the sky, and it met the attack head-on.

The moment the tips of the two completely different giant swords collided, the resulting energy shockwaves instantly turned the land and trees within a radius of nearly a thousand meters into dust. Then, like a needle hitting an iron pillar, the snow-white giant sword, after only a brief moment of stalemate, pierced through the blood-red giant sword along with the King of Slaughter behind it with overwhelming speed.

Thump.

As the sky, rendered snow-white, returned to its azure hue, a colossal human-shaped ice sculpture crashed down from the sky like a cannonball onto the frozen ground, scattering shards of ice everywhere.

Yu Tianshuang stared at the King of Slaughter, now a humanoid ice sculpture, and silently surveyed his surroundings. The aftershocks of their battle had transformed this lush green forest into a world of ice and snow. The power of his attack had indeed exceeded his expectations. Although the King of Slaughter's true strength was not comparable to genuine level 99 Peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu, it was still extremely terrifying that he, at the Soul Douluo level, could defeat him. And the biggest contributor to this was that one-tenth of his True Essence Power.

In terms of quality, it surpasses Soul Power by more than a fraction. Even if it's only one-tenth of that, it's enough to crush the strongest in this world. Yu Tianshuang couldn't help but think that if he weren't limited by the rules of this world, with his current eighth-level Frozen Sky Condensing Sea Art Technique, he really didn't know how powerful he would be. This made him somewhat excited. After all, in his previous life, he had occasionally seen the elders and sect leaders who had reached the Tribulation Mahayana in his sect, and the scenes of them occasionally casting spells, with their earth-shattering power, were truly incomparable to the trivial matters of the Douluo Continent.

"Call..."

After meditating cross-legged and recovering, Yu Tianshuang waved her hand to dispel the frozen state of the King of Slaughter. "Bang..." The huge body lost its support and fell limply to the ground. The bone-chilling cold made him look completely different from before, with a comical, distorted appearance.

The azure-colored King of Slaughter used all his strength to barely manage to flip himself over. At this moment, apart from turning azure, the crimson light emanating from his body had long since disappeared. The most obvious change was in his eyes, which had become as clear and bright as a normal person's. He tried his best to move his eyes, wanting to look at Yu Tianshuang, but unfortunately, just flipping over was his last bit of strength.

"Sigh..." He sighed helplessly. At this moment, he looked at the long-lost blue sky. This blue, like the sea, made his eyes look a little dazed. It seemed that a figure appeared in his eyes that made his heart flutter. That's right, it was the woman he made a promise to, the woman he would never forget at first sight.

"Your name is Yu Tianshuang, right? You are outstanding, many times more outstanding than I was in my youth. To witness such an excellent junior in the Soul Master World at the last moment of my life, I can say I have no regrets..."

Although that's what the King of Slaughter said, the deep resentment, regret, and disappointment in his tone still made Yu Tianshuang feel that this King of Slaughter, who had suddenly become a different person, was so strange.

"How insincere. Clearly filled with regret, yet insisting on saying there's no regret. How boring..."

However, Yu Tianshuang was too lazy to pay him any attention. After making a light remark, she picked up the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi in her hand and prepared to give him the final blow. He had been corroded to the bone by the Ultimate Ice and had no chance of survival. Even if she didn't make a move, he would die on his own soon. But he was still the strongest opponent she had ever encountered, and Yu Tianshuang could still show him the respect due to a strong person.

The King of Slaughter closed his eyes, and suddenly a golden light flashed on his chest. This light was so incongruous with his bloody aura. A beautifully crafted golden hammer appeared, with a black gem inlaid at each end. It was clearly an exquisitely crafted object.

"Actually, I'm not what you see. I was once a human too. Although I don't know how much time has passed, I think you should have heard of me. My name is Tang Chen, and I'm a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect..."

The golden hammer that appeared before him surprised Yu Tianshuang. In fact, the moment the hammer appeared, he recognized it as a weapon modeled after the Clear Sky Hammer. However, the man's identity piqued his curiosity. How could a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect become the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City?

Yu Tianshuang looked at the King of Slaughter—no, he should be called Tang Chen now—and listened as he recounted what had happened since leaving Sea God Island. She nodded. It turned out that Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God inheritance had actually interfered with the Asura God's God Trial. If it weren't for this, this man, known as one of the two great Soul Master World, would probably have already become the Asura God.

"Then can you tell me, if the Rakshasa God affected your God Trial, will the Asura God affect the God Trial of the Rakshasa God's successor?"

Since the two gods check and balance each other, and the Rakshasa God can influence Tang Chen, will the Asura God do the same and influence Bibi Dong? This was a question that suddenly came to his mind, and Bibi Dong herself could not watch him walk down the path of Tang Chen.

"I don't know, I'm sorry. For so many years, I've been fighting against the Nine-Headed Blood-Red Bat King within me. Only when you just destroyed its consciousness with a single sword strike did I regain my senses. Unfortunately, the power of the Ultimate Ice not only destroyed its consciousness but also extinguished my life force..."

The King of Slaughter looked ashamed, then his face paled even more. He didn't have much time left. He quickly spoke, "Young man, I have a favor to ask. Could you do me a favor? Take this little golden hammer and go see someone for me. Tell her not to wait any longer, he... he won't be coming back..."

To be honest, Yu Tianshuang felt quite sorry for this person. He had reached level 99 through his own strength, which was extremely rare in the entire history of the Douluo Continent. Normally, Soul Master's lifespan would increase by 300 years after reaching the Titled Douluo, and after reaching level 95, each level increase would also add 100 years to their lifespan. However, there were very few Titled Douluo above level 95 on the continent. Theoretically, there should have been more and more, but in reality, the Titled Douluo above level 95 did not increase with the increase in lifespan, but only decreased.

Because none of the Titled Douluo above level 95 on the entire continent could increase their Soul Power by even one level at the last moment of their lives, he only knew one person who could reach level 97 as Titled Douluo through his own talent and strength, and that was his maternal grandfather, the peerless swordsman who once challenged Qian Daoliu with the strength of level 97.

Yu Tianshuang silently memorized the information about Sea God Island and Bo Saixi, put away the small golden hammer floating in front of Tang Chen, and nodded to him, "Don't worry, I'll pass on your message when I have time."

Upon hearing these words, this legend of the Soul Master World finally closed his eyes. His body, which had already turned blue, completely lost its vitality as his life faded away, turning into a pile of ice powder.

Back in the present, on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi felt the pain in her heart growing stronger and stronger, slowly turning into a searing, tearing pain. She felt a strange, inexplicable sense of loss, as if she had lost something important.
