Chapter 223 Exploding Rings? I've surrounded you!
"Hmph, humans, always so untrustworthy. Remember, this is the first divine test I'm giving you. Even gods, even the supreme rulers of the divine realm, even the God Kings, are not worthy of trust. This is the first test, but given the shamelessness of the Asura God Tang San, I'll give you a hint: You can trust that little guy before I came to you. Their kind never lies."
——..
The God of Destruction's deep, mocking words seemed to still echo faintly in the deepest part of his spiritual sea. Kong Tianxu felt that this moment of waiting was stretched to an unbearably long time, almost frozen in time.
Fortunately, reality didn't keep him waiting long. The instant he released his spiritual intent towards that dazzling star, "As you wish."
A clear, heavenly voice immediately rang out, and a rift with dreamy silver spatial ripples flowing around its edges, like an open eye of the void, suddenly appeared behind Kong Tianxu!
Within the rift, starlight twinkled, and the space was deep and boundless, like a gateway to an unknown dimension.
"Let's go!" He grabbed the weak Zhang Lexuan with one hand, gestured to Ma Xiaotao with the other, and at the same time communicated with Xue Di mentally.
The four figures moved like lightning, shooting towards the spatial rift.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment, with each frame becoming slow and clear.
This time, it was really slow.
"Are you sure you can leave?!"
Niu Tian's roar, filled with endless anger and humiliation, exploded once more, its sound carrying a hint of mournful lament.
In the distance, the orange-red light, which had burned eternally like the sun, suddenly went out.
The orange light disappeared, and the devastating consequences of this level-nine fixed-position soul tool could finally be seen. There was no trace of the mess that should have appeared after the explosion; even the ground was clean.
Because the ground has disappeared.
Instead, there was a huge, deep pit. The area around this pit was completely crimson, as if lava had just flowed. At the bottom of the pit, scorching red liquid slowly writhed, devouring everything around it, and continued to sink.
Due to the high temperature, the light inside was completely distorted and dizzying.
The Titan Giant Ape lineage's innate Vajra Indestructible Body is indeed remarkable. Even the most ordinary level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball is equivalent to the full power of a Limit Douluo's attack, with an even greater destructive range. If such a top-tier level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, capable of both ice and fire, were allowed to ravage the body, even a true Limit Douluo would only be annihilated, body and soul.
But Titan actually had a little bit left.
The Azure Dragon, transformed from Niu Tian, extended one of its claws and, with a sorrowful expression, carefully put a dark, hideous monkey head, covered in a layer of dim golden light, into its mouth.
The azure flames on its body had disappeared, replaced by a bluish-gold color.
The cyan-gold flames slowly rose from the massive body of the Azure Dragon. Although the spread seemed slow, the surrounding light and dust seemed to be slowed down by an invisible hand wherever it passed.
Time, in this region, was forcibly dragged into a quagmire.
In an instant, all nine spirit rings on Niu Tian's body—six black and three red—lit up. The original black and red colors completely disappeared, leaving only a dazzling cyan-gold.
At this moment, its nine spirit rings turned completely blue-gold, and its body also turned the same color.
The Azure Dragon extended its claws once more, its eyes now radiating an undisguised chill. The six black and three red spirit rings encircling its body—a total of nine rings—shattered simultaneously at that moment.
The ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Explosion! A unique skill of the Clear Sky Sect, it detonates all of one's soul rings at once, gaining temporary power beyond the limits, a demigod-level strike.
The energy of all the shattered soul rings flowed into the dragon claw like rivers flowing into the sea. The dragon claw instantly transformed into a crystal-clear azure crystal, as if it were carved from the most perfect azure jade divine crystal in the world. It was flawless and translucent, yet it exuded a terrifying aura that made people's breath suffocate.
"Azure Sluggish Divine Claw!"
Niu Tian's icy dragon roar, as if slowed down tenfold, echoed through the frozen universe, each word deliberate and lingering.
The cyan crystal dragon claw did not continue to expand and extend; it simply made a seemingly casual grab towards the direction in which Kong Tianxu and the other three had fled.
Time seemed to have truly been paused at that moment.
To Niu Tian's surprise, the silver spatial rift did not instantly collapse under the stagnation of time and space. Instead, it stubbornly resisted as if it had its own life. Although the speed of expansion suddenly slowed down, it was still stubbornly pushing open the frozen void.
Like a spoiled child pampered by the origin of space, relying on the favor of his talent, he stubbornly resists the majesty of the absolute power of time.
But outside the rift, whether it was the three elders of the Haotian Sect who were frantically rushing back to help from afar, or the figures of Kong Tianxu and the other three rushing towards the rift, they all seemed to be trapped in invisible yet extremely resilient amber, becoming incredibly slow.
A semi-transparent cyan claw shadow, ignoring the spatial barrier, appeared out of thin air above their heads and slowly descended.
Absolute lock-on, absolute suppression—this is the pinnacle of attacks, completely involving the mysteries of the spacetime domain.
At this moment, Niu Tian even felt a touch of playful and cruel pleasure.
It had to admit that Kong Tianxu had indeed done his best—allowing Xue Di to restrain the strongest of it and Titan, while he himself used thunderous means to break through the Haotian Battle Formation, ruthlessly killing two elders and rendering the formation ineffective.
Just when Tang Qian and the others thought victory was in their grasp and were slowly making their plans, they detonated that incredible level nine fixed-position soul tool, creating chaos and the only chance to escape in the desperate situation. They even summoned this mysterious spatial passage from somewhere, which they could not completely erase for a while.
His scheming was undeniably profound, his timing impeccable, and his decisions ruthless and decisive.
Unfortunately, this kid couldn't have foreseen the extraordinary power that could be unleashed by a level 99 Limit Douluo who had begun burning his own soul power and was willing to destroy all his soul rings, combined with a level 98 peak Super Douluo who sacrificed half of his body! It was beyond all reason! It was utterly unimaginable!
None of you will escape.
Niu Tian coldly pronounced his verdict. It seemed to already see that in the next instant, the cyan claw shadows would close up, crushing these four guys who dared to defy Tang San, along with that stubborn spatial rift, into the cracks of space and time.
His response was also flames, an icy blue flame.
It's Xue Di.
At that moment, icy blue soul power flames suddenly ignited on the Snow Empress's body. Like the last aurora on the ice plains, it was both poignant and magnificent.
She wasn't a true Limit Douluo after all; burning her soul power meant she couldn't stop on her own, but she didn't hesitate at all.
The visor slid open silently, revealing the Snow Empress's pale yet stunningly beautiful face. A relieved smile played on her lips. In the sluggish space where everyone's movements were almost frozen, her deep blue figure seemed to break free from some of its constraints, and her resolute icy eyes gazed deeply at Kong Tianxu.
"Snow Emperor, you!" Niu Tian's shocked voice finally carried a hint of disbelief.
However, Kong Tianxu had outsmarted the Haotian Locking God Formation, Niu Tian and Tang Qian's underestimation of their opponents, and the defensive vulnerabilities of Titan.
Could it be that he doesn't even reach the level of Niu Tian's explosive ring?
"Fool."
Kong Tianxu's deep purple eyes, which had been as cold and frozen as ice since the start of the war, finally showed some tenderness at this moment.
Before this, he had always regarded Xue Di as a soul beast, but at this moment, he finally accepted her from the bottom of his heart.
A turquoise light burst forth from Kong Tianxu's lower left ribcage. It was with this seemingly harmless turquoise light that he moved.
He gently raised his hand and embraced Xue Di's slender body, which trembled slightly from burning soul power. With his other hand, he pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed across the emerald light source under his left rib.
Then, he casually pointed at the slowly descending blue claw shadow.
"break."
The flames of soul power on Xue Di's body were extinguished instantly.
A stream of emerald light, refined to its fullest extent, shot out from Kong Tianxu's fingertip.
The emerald light was not dazzling, but it contained a boundless and powerful life force, as if it had gathered the vitality of the entire world.
Niu Tian could see clearly that it was just a carving knife only as thick as a finger, but from that carving knife, he could feel an aura that was no less powerful than the Trident of Poseidon.
"A divine artifact?"
The emerald light silently disappeared into the blue claw shadow.
The power of the Azure Sky Claw remained, but Niu Tian, as the user of the soul skill, felt it most clearly, and the most important meaning of its sluggishness had been dispelled.
The stagnation of time and space completely disappeared at this moment!
The phantom of the Blade of Life's Judgment drew a graceful parabola in the air, its emerald light receding as it disappeared back into Kong Tianxu's body, transforming into the form of the twenty-fifth rib.
Kong Tianxu took one last deep look at the Azure Dragon in the distance, which was enraged and filled with bewilderment and fear due to the sudden and enormous change before its eyes.
He seemed to want to etch the other party's current pathetic and furious state into the depths of his memory.
Then, he turned around without hesitation.
Holding Xue Di, whose breathing was stabilizing, tightly in one arm, and leading Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao with the other, he stepped into the silver spatial vortex that had expanded to accommodate several people.
In the final moments before his figure was completely submerged in the vortex, his icy voice pierced through the spatial barrier, like a death proclamation from the deepest hell, clearly echoing above the deathly silent battlefield, and striking the hearts of Niu Tian and all the survivors of the Haotian Sect: "You think you've surrounded me?"
"Tomorrow—"
'
"I will personally visit the Haotian Sect."
"The entire household, from top to bottom, was wiped out, not even the chickens and dogs were spared."
The moment the words fell, the silver vortex suddenly contracted, turning into a tiny, almost invisible silver glimmer, which then completely dissipated into the air without leaving a trace.
The remaining power of the Azure Sluggish Claw crashed into the air. The explosive power of a Limit Douluo who had burned his soul power and detonated his rings was nothing short of world-destroying.
In the once clear and bright sky of the Starfall Grassland, a bottomless black void was forcibly torn open, hanging menacingly in the sky, unable to be healed for a long time.
Niu Tian stood frozen in place, its massive dragon head looking around blankly, feeling an unprecedented chill and sense of despair engulfing its entire body. It raised its head and let out a mournful roar filled with resentment and rage.
This is an utter disgrace! An unprecedented and utter disgrace!
A level 99 Limit Douluo, a level 98 Peak Super Douluo, plus two Super Douluos and three Title Douluos—a total of seven nine-ring powerhouses standing at the top of the continent joined forces to besiege a Soul Emperor!
"ah--!"
Just as it was feeling agitated, a short, piercing scream suddenly rang in its ears.
Niu Tian suddenly twisted his huge dragon neck to look, and saw a flash of silver light disappear in an instant. Among the three remaining elders of Haotian Sect, another figure fell helplessly from mid-air like a kite with a broken string, screaming in agony.
It suddenly remembered Kong Tianxu's cold words before he disappeared.
Could it be that...?
A phoenix cry echoed from the distant horizon.
A silver moon suddenly rose into the sky, and in an instant, the sunlight in the sky vanished. With the silver moon high in the sky, a burst of intense silver light suddenly burst forth, instantly expanding into a massive shield of light that shone brilliantly alongside the silver moon, enveloping everything from above!
Silver Moon Divine Light Shield! Silver Moon Douluo, Kong Deming! Level 10 Soul Master!
Another Limit Douluo-level existence?!
Niu Tian was shocked. Without time to think, he roared, and his front paws were suddenly coated with a cold silver layer. Between his paws, a highly condensed silver light quickly appeared. Around the light, space was torn apart by terrifying power, revealing rings of dark void cracks.
It is resisting the all-pervasive imprisoning and suppressive power of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield in the most ferocious way.
"Ah!" Another short, agonizing scream rang out.
Niu Tian turned around in a panic and saw that the Super Douluo who had been guarding Tang Qian's side had first turned into a thick, dark black body, and then a dazzling golden flame burst forth from his body!
The golden light rapidly condensed, transforming into a magnificent golden phoenix. Around the phoenix, five black and four red rings swirled and emanated a terrifying pressure no less powerful than that of the Silver Moon.
Beside the golden phoenix, a phantom of a black dragon with pale gold eyes also appeared.
In the blink of an eye, the Super Douluo was completely swallowed up by the destructive torrent of light and darkness before he could even let out a complete scream.
Dark Holy Dragon, Bright Phoenix, auspicious dragon and phoenix.
Unknown
They all exuded the aura of Limit Douluo.
Three Limit Douluos?!
Niu Tian felt a chill run from the dragon's spine straight to the top of his head.
It was surrounded.
"roar-!!!"
In this desperate situation, the azure-gold flames on Niu Tian's body, which had been somewhat weakened by the exploding rings, blazed wildly once more. With a roar, it bravely endured a blow, its dragon claws tearing through space, forcibly dragging the precarious Tang Qian out of the deadly trap of light and darkness.
However, the price it paid was that its left shoulder blade was instantly pierced by a condensed, almost tangible, silver beam of light, leaving a horrific wound with charred edges.
Enduring the dual pain of being scorched by the flames of light and corroded by the power of darkness, the Azure Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon with pale golden eyes fought fiercely together. Dragon blood splattered, and broken dragon scales and torn spatial rifts intertwined to create a tragic scene.
Everything is going according to plan.
Darkness, pure and vast darkness.
It was as if we were traveling through the void before the birth of the universe, an endless monochromatic black that swallowed all light and sound.
In this absolute silence and darkness, two figures tightly embracing each other became the only source of light and existence.
Kong Tianxu's body still radiated a faint green light. In contrast, energy carrying a faint chill yet full of endless life force also naturally emerged from Xue Di's body, perfectly merging with the life force on Kong Tianxu's body.
Although one originates from the ultimate source of life nurtured in the ancient icy era, and the other is the essence of life generously bestowed by nature, their shared long life fluctuations have allowed their auras to resonate and harmonize, becoming inseparable.
Xue Di nestled in Kong Tianxu's arms, her sleeping face peaceful and serene, her arms tightly wrapped around him.
With her clear and discerning mind, she could clearly sense that Kong Tianxu's embrace this time was completely different from any before. He had opened his heart to her entirely.
But Kong Tianxu keenly noticed that Xue Di's grip on him was getting weaker and weaker.
On the surface of her body, a layer of crystal-clear, semi-transparent, strange light cocoon began to slowly condense. On the light cocoon, the emerald green life radiance and the icy blue extreme cold light flowed endlessly like two swimming fish, weaving together to form a tranquil and sacred pattern.
Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan, standing to the side, watched this scene with deep emotion.
Strangely, they felt no jealousy or resentment whatsoever. Even as mere observers, they could deeply feel the absolute purity and sincerity of Xue Di's emotions.
Suddenly, a series of intense dizziness and tearing sensations came over them, as if countless invisible hands were pulling at their souls and bodies.
The solid darkness around them began to twist and spin violently, forming a raging torrent that seemed intent on tearing their bodies apart and scattering them into the chaotic void.
At this critical moment, countless pure white, crystalline points of light appeared without warning in the pitch-black spatial passage.
These points of light, like fireflies with a spirit, gently yet firmly protected the area where the four were, completely shutting out the feeling of pain.
The process seemed both incredibly long and incredibly short. Finally, at the end of the endless darkness ahead, the vortex outlet flowing with silver ripples appeared once again.
The three of them felt a sudden lightness in their bodies, and the omnipresent tearing and oppressive feeling vanished instantly.
The next moment, light flooded my eyes, and fresh air, carrying an unfamiliar scent, rushed towards me.
Having regained consciousness, they found themselves on solid ground in another—a completely new world.
