Chapter 180: Soul Ring Explosion

Chapter 180: Soul Ring Explosion

Boom— The powerful blast of air pushed the clouds apart, and the sunlight that had been obscured by the clouds shone on Du Qianjue and Di Tian as they faced each other in the sky.

"Cough, cough..." Du Qianjue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, which was covered in broken scales.

Using 80% of his physical strength, Di Tian was already overwhelming him, even though Du Qianjue had equipped his soul bone armor; his physical strength was nowhere near that of Di Tian.

"As expected of a Beast God whose true form is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, I am far inferior to you in terms of physical strength," Du Qianjue admitted, shaking his head in resignation.

Di Tian looked at Du Qianjue somewhat speechlessly and shook his head, "For a human to possess such formidable physical strength is already extraordinary. Do not compare yourself to me; the dragon race naturally has stronger bodies than humans. If a human were to catch up, it would mean I've lived hundreds of thousands of years for nothing."

"That's not necessarily true, Beast God. Humans are only physically weaker in this world. In other worlds, my human race also possesses unmatched physical bodies!" Du Qianjue said somewhat proudly.

Are humans really physically inferior to soul beasts? Not necessarily! The strength of humans lies in their endless potential and limitless growth!

"Other worlds?" Di Tian looked askance but nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I was somewhat biased in my statement. But it cannot be denied that the bodies of most humans are weak."

"If that's the case, then I will be the first in this world to achieve divine transcendence through physical strength!" Du Qianjue laughed loudly, his soul bone armor and dragon scales retracting into his skin, revealing his hands covered in cracks.

"Come forth, my true form!" Du Qianjue roared to the sky as a pale golden figure appeared behind him. The figure smiled faintly, closed its eyes, and merged into his body.

The moment the figure merged, a dazzling golden light burst forth from Du Qianjue, and his soul cores whirred into action.

True Body: Second Awakening! Radiant gold, red, and dark gold. Seven unobscured soul rings appeared around him, and then the fifth soul ring, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, instantly shattered, transforming into flowing light that merged into his body.

Soul Ring Explosion! The secret technique of soul ring explosion, created by Tang Chen, the strongest fighter of the Haotian School a million years ago, was now recreated in Du Qianjue.

After observing the stellar human vascular chart, Du Qianjue not only understood the martial soul technique he needed to create but also comprehended the mysteries of his own body, finding the origin of the soul rings.

The half-year wasn't wasted; that deep meditation was extremely significant for Du Qianjue. With the soul ring's origin as a power source, the soul ring explosion technique, which Du Qianjue naturally learned after his epiphany, now empowered his true form through the Xuantian Technique's energy refinement.

"Let's begin, Beast God! Round two!!" Du Qianjue clenched his fists, and immense power instantly tore the space on his hands, spreading fine spatial rifts.

His fifth soul ring came from a sixteen-million-year-old Earth Demon Ox. The immense power of a sixteen-million-year soul ring briefly elevated Du Qianjue to the level of an Ultimate Douluo. Though just at the entry level, it was enough to unleash the power to tear through space!

"Very well, as you said, let the second round begin!" Di Tian, sensing the surge in Du Qianjue's aura, nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face. This fight just got more interesting. Having not engaged in combat for thousands of years since his battle with the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, Di Tian was naturally eager to flex his muscles with Du Qianjue.

"Dark Dragon Fist!" Di Tian shouted lowly, his right claw clenched into a fist, and a small image of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's head appeared on his hand, roaring fiercely.

"Imperial Fist: Realm Breaker!" Du Qianjue grinned, launching his own soul skill. A majestic golden light enveloped his fist, releasing a powerful aura.

The two streaks of light, one gold and one black, collided instantly and without pause moved to another location.

Punching, striking! Their battle in the air even stirred up elemental turbulence, more intense than their previous pure physical collisions. Now, each of their moves, whether it be Imperial Fist: Realm Breaker or Dark Dragon Fist, sparked ripples of energy.

Eight thousand meters above, the surface of the Lake of Life, where Xuelinglong and Bibi stood watching, rippled endlessly.

Every ripple represented a clash between Du Qianjue and Di Tian, a confrontation of fists, a battle between the world's top fighters.

At the edge of the Lake of Life, Xue linglong and Bibi were dumbstruck. Xue linglong hadn't been in Xingluo City when Du Qianjue fought Xuanzi, so she didn't know the extent of Du Qianjue's power, only that his soul core of yin-yang complementation made him nearly as strong as the former Ice Emperor.

She also didn't expect Du Qianjue to be able to fight on par with Di Tian! "Even you can be surprised?" Bibi glanced at Xuelinglong, who also looked shocked, and chuckled softly. Good, I feel balanced now. And here I thought you knew Qianjue so well, yet here you are, almost having your eyeballs shocked out. Ha, what an icy snow maiden!

"Yes, I am a bit shocked. Qianjue's strength has improved quickly. After the fight, he deserves a good reward," Xuelinglong managed to compose herself.

"Oh? How will you reward him?" Bibi blinked, her eyes instantly curious. I want to learn! I also want to know how to handle Qianjue!

"I'm not telling you!" Xuelinglong snorted softly, turning her head to watch the fight again.

Bibi pursed her lips and rolled her eyes.

Boom— After another clash, a flash of silver light appeared in Du Qianjue's eyes, and he instantly moved through space to appear in front of Di Tian.

"Imperial Fist: Earthshaker!" An uppercut! Di Tian's expression tensed, and his dragon-clawed forearm swung horizontally to meet Du Qianjue's Earthshaker, which unleashed its elemental splitting power without reserve onto Di Tian's elbow.

Crack— Dragon scales shattered. This was the first time Di Tian was breached by Du Qianjue. "Realm Breaker, Earthshaker, are these your own soul skills?" Di Tian didn't look at the shattered scales on his elbow but asked Du Qianjue instead.

"Yes, these are soul skills I created myself, using the power of my elements and physical strength," Du Qianjue said, dissipating the elemental power from his fist and smiling.

"Very good, your creations have great potential," Di Tian praised.

"Since that's the case, I must get serious now. Be ready."

"Beast God, please!" Du Qianjue bowed slightly, his eyes flashing sharply.

"In your words, let the third round begin!" Di Tian stepped forward, his figure vanishing instantly!
