Chapter 135: The Nether Emperor’s Earth-Shaking Fury

Chapter 135: The Nether Emperor's Earth-Shaking Fury

Xiao Yu, Martial Spirit: Apostle of the Netherworld, Soul Power Level 66.

Looking at the information displayed on the electronic screen in front of him, Feng Xiaotian gave a bitter smile and remarked to himself, "So, this is your current strength? No wonder you're so confident!"

The black wings on Xiao Yu's back spread wide, flapping gently as he ascended into the air.

High above, Xiao Yu looked down at Feng Xiaotian, who was still standing on the stage, and said calmly, "Ready to surrender?"

Feng Xiaotian almost instinctively wanted to nod. Facing a Soul Emperor as a Soul King, surrendering wouldn't be shameful.

But in the end, he restrained himself and faced Xiao Yu directly. "Even though I know I probably can't beat you, I still want to try. Let me see just how wide the gap between us really is."

Tomorrow, Shenfeng Academy was set to face a team from a smaller kingdom with average abilities, so victory was assured even without Feng Xiaotian. Today, he wanted to be a little reckless, if only to understand how far off his goal really was.

Xiao Yu nodded, extending his right hand as the icy-cold Nether King Sword materialized from thin air in his grasp. "Come on!"

Whoosh!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Feng Xiaotian moved. His second and third soul skills activated, and a pair of large green wings unfurled from his back, propelling him toward Xiao Yu in a burst of speed, leaving a streak of green light in the air.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu's third purple soul ring shone brightly, and he launched himself forward like a lightning bolt.

A black and a green figure streaked toward each other at a speed too fast for the naked eye, finally clashing with a thunderous impact.

The two bursts of light held against each other for only a few seconds before the green light was sent flying backward along its original path.

Xiao Yu's soul power was over ten levels higher than Feng Xiaotian's, and he also possessed two 100,000-year soul bones that enhanced his strength. With his body tempered by the effects of several powerful celestial herbs, his physique was practically indestructible.

Under such unfavorable conditions, the fact that Feng Xiaotian could hold his ground for even a few seconds spoke to his impressive strength.

After being knocked back more than ten meters, Feng Xiaotian finally steadied himself, his arms trembling uncontrollably as he looked at Xiao Yu with a mix of fear and respect.

Although he knew he was no match for Xiao Yu, he hadn't expected the gap to be this vast. The brief collision felt like slamming into a solid wall of metal, the reverberating force leaving his chest churning.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Demon Wolf Clone!"

Under Xiao Yu's guidance, Feng Xiaotian had chosen a clone soul skill for his fourth soul skill instead of creating his own.

In an instant, Feng Xiaotian's form wavered and split into four identical figures, each attacking Xiao Yu from a different direction.

Each clone retained 70% of Feng Xiaotian's strength. Individually, they were no match for Xiao Yu, but together, they could certainly cause him some trouble.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The four figures crossed paths in the air, leaving Xiao Yu no chance to catch his breath.

The clash between the Nether King Sword and Feng Xiaotian's wolf claws, empowered by his soul power, echoed continuously above the arena, with the resulting energy ripples causing the protective shield around the stage to tremble.

"Hiss!"

The students and teachers watching the fierce battle couldn't help but gasp, though Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, the master-disciple duo, glared at the figures in the air with venomous eyes.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Tornado Blade!"

With a low shout, Feng Xiaotian's four figures took positions in the four cardinal directions, emanating intense green light. The light transformed into razor-sharp wind blades, converging into a dazzling whirlwind that surged toward Xiao Yu from all sides.

Each clone unleashed the fifth soul skill simultaneously, amplifying its power beyond what Feng Xiaotian's main body alone could achieve.

Facing Feng Xiaotian's fourth and fifth soul skills unleashed in combination, his strongest attack yet, Xiao Yu remained calm, slowly raising his right arm.

In the next moment, dazzling light radiated from his arm as his soul power surged, and as Feng Xiaotian's attack drew near, it was immediately reduced to nothing.

"Roar!"

A thunderous dragon's roar echoed to the heavens as a massive black dragon, over a hundred meters long, materialized from thin air. Its body emitted an overwhelming aura, and its large, copper-like eyes gazed down imperiously upon the land. This was the true form of the Nether Dragon, the source of Xiao Yu's 100,000-year soul bone.

The earth-shaking roar and the tidal wave of soul power spread through the air, causing powerful currents to ripple like water, shaking the entire arena as cracks began to spiderweb across the platform's surface, threatening to collapse.

Under the immense force of this soul power, Feng Xiaotian was forced out of his clone state, his four forms merging back into one, reappearing in front of Xiao Yu.

"A soul bone!"

Behind Ning Fengzhi, the Bone Douluo, Gu Rong, who had been hidden in the shadows, couldn't contain his shock and stepped forward, exclaiming, "And it's an extremely high-grade dragon-type soul bone!"

As Bone Douluo spoke, countless eyes turned to Xiao Yu's right arm. Soul bones were treasures of blood and rarity, and though the Nine Stars Palace had displayed significant power, there were still those whose greed was piqued.

None felt this more intensely than the Platinum Bishop Salas on the main podium. At over seventy years old, his soul rank was likely capped at the Soul Douluo level, but with a high-quality soul bone, he just might break through to the rank of Title Douluo.

"Damn it, damn it!"

In the Shrek viewing area, Tang San's frustration had reached its peak. He clenched his fists so tightly that his palms nearly bled.

It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair!

Why did Xiao Yu get to possess so many advantages while he had nothing?

If he had been granted the same resources as Xiao Yu, he would surely be the one under the spotlight today!

"Soul bone skill: Nether Emperor's Earth-Shaking Fury!"

Xiao Yu paid no heed to the gazes of jealousy, admiration, or greed directed at him. The Nine Stars Palace was filled with powerful figures, with over a dozen Title Douluos at their side. Anyone foolish enough to covet his soul bone would need to be prepared to leave their life behind.

With the activation of his soul bone skill, the Nether Dragon's phantom soared into the sky, unleashing an apocalyptic force as it charged toward Feng Xiaotian. In an instant, the sky darkened, and the wind and clouds swirled chaotically.

Feng Xiaotian's pupils contracted as he, disregarding his own physical state, activated his fifth soul skill once more.

Boom!

Under the stunned gaze of countless spectators, Feng Xiaotian's storm attack was shattered in a single blow, and the Nether Dragon, undeterred, continued its unstoppable assault, bearing down on Feng Xiaotian with overwhelming force.

Thud!

The Nether Dragon's attack struck Feng Xiaotian directly. He coughed up a mouthful of blood as he was blasted backward, landing unceremoniously off the stage.
