"A soul beast over 400,000 years old, and your tone is so arrogant." On the Bone Dragon Transformation, Bone Douluo sneered. "I wonder if your strength lives up to all that boasting."
With that, Bone Douluo's eighth soul skill suddenly lit up.
"Eighth soul skill—Spatial Shuttle"
Bone Douluo's eighth and ninth soul skills had both been fine-tuned by Ning Rongrong.
Compared to the Bone Douluo who was once renowned for defense, he now had a touch more eeriness.
Under Bone Douluo's control, the Bone Dragon Transformation swiftly skimmed through the low air, charging forward at extreme speed. The bone-shaped wings flapped, rubbing against the surrounding space and emitting "sizzle sizzle sizzle" sounds.
The bone dragon opened its blood basin mouth, as if to bite down viciously on the Xiong Jun ahead.
"Human, even with a starved bone dragon that's nothing but skin and bones, you think you can clash head-on with me, Xiong Jun."
"Have you not woken up yet!"
His right fist slowly pulled back to his waist to gather power, terrifying soul power compressing onto the fist.
Even the ground where he stood trembled slightly.
Xiong Jun's eyes narrowed: "Foolish soul master, bear the price for your arrogance!"
"Xiong Jun Attack—Serious Punch"
The fist swung out, fist winds raging.
In an instant, countless storms burst from the fist's position, forming a massive tornado that assaulted outward at extreme speed, swallowing the Bone Dragon Transformation in a single moment.
"See that? That's..."
Before Xiong Jun could finish, the unscathed Bone Douluo burst out from the storm, seemingly unharmed.
"No, that's impossible!"
Xiong Jun's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief. "Even Di Tian wouldn't handle my full-force strike this easily—what the hell are you!"
"I am Gu Rong, one of the Heaven-Supporting Jade Pillars of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"Ninth soul skill—Gate of Space: Shatter!"
Reaching level 98 or 99 usually meant that soul skills were no longer merely techniques but involved the application of higher-level soul power tricks.
Originally, the ninth soul skill, after Ning Rongrong's modifications, gained the ability to open teleportation spaces. But over these years of use, Bone Douluo had also discovered another application for the Gate of Space.
That was—the Gate of Space, when shattered, would produce immense energy.
This energy could be used for attacks.
Almost as soon as Bone Douluo's words fell, the lurking space formed a gate, then the gate turned into fragments and cracked apart. Countless shards, like blades, pierced toward Xiong Jun's body.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!"
Xiong Jun let out a piercing wail of pain from his mouth; this feeling akin to death by a thousand cuts was far from pleasant.
Abilities involving space weren't purely physical attacks; they could even slice through the body's outer shell and the weaker cells inside.
Like countless invisible tiny knives, bit by bit lacerating the flesh and cells within.
"How pitiful; Xiong Jun really got careless." Bi Ji, hidden in the shadows, shook her head.
It wasn't just Bi Ji; quite a few ferocious beasts, and even Spirit Hall personnel like Qian Renxue, had already arrived.
This included Bibi Dong, who had finished absorbing the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring.
After all, with the battle dragging on for so long, Xiong Jun had fought Bo Saixi once and now was fighting Gu Rong; the time was enough to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring and come over.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is truly a great enemy!" Lion Douluo's expression was grave. As a 97th level Title Douluo, he could clearly sense Bone Douluo's surging soul power while spectating.
"Already level 99?"
Qian Renxue's brows furrowed tightly, her tone carrying some uncertainty.
"Not level 99; his soul power condensation is still a bit short." Bibi Dong shook her head and said. "Peak level 98, but with a support soul master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect nearby, elevating his strength to level 99. But if you observe carefully, you can still see the difference from true level 99."
"A support Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower or Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower soul master?" Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others exchanged a glance.
"Your Holiness the Pope, do you mean there's at least one Soul Sage level Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower soul master nearby? But we haven't detected any!"
"It won't be a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower soul master." Qian Renxue sighed. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had other Soul Sage level Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower soul masters, the one who could command Bone Douluo absolutely wasn't them.
"Either Ning Fengzhi, or..."
Bi Ji was standing right next to Qian Renxue, her words pointed.
"Ning Fengzhi's strength has broken through to level 95, but we haven't spotted him."
"Maybe the most troublesome person has arrived."
"Ning Rongrong..." A flicker passed through Qian Renxue's eyes.
Lion Douluo asked in confusion: "That young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—why do you all seem so wary of her?"
It wasn't just Spirit Hall; even the soul beasts on this side fell silent.
At least the Ten Thousand Demon King and Bi Ji, who covered a quarter of the Star Dou Great Forest's range, had quite grave expressions.
"Not long ago, Xue Ke sent a message."
Qian Renxue sighed and explained,
"The beast tide in Vast Sea City was resolved by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; reportedly, Ning Rongrong led it."
"The beast tide in Vast Sea City had a half-god level sea soul beast and several soul beasts over 100,000 years."
"Of course, I'm not entirely certain about that."
"Half-god level soul beast!" Lion Douluo and the sixth and seventh worshippers inhaled a cold breath.
"The specifics can't be verified, but shortly after, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gained several more Title Douluo reportedly with 100,000-year soul rings."
"Among them, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Alchemy Pavilion Vice Pavilion Master Ye Xinyan, and the Soul Tool Pavilion Pavilion Master Lou Gao."
"Maybe Ning Rongrong even has the ability to store soul rings—who knows." To be honest, Qian Renxue didn't want to face off against Ning Rongrong; this thing was even more bizarre than Tang San.
"Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Gu Rong acted together?" Lion Douluo looked toward the still-stalemated battlefield and speculated. If the two sword and bone Title Douluo acted in unison, plus martial soul fusion techniques and ring fusion, taking down a level 99 half-god soul beast wasn't impossible.
"No." Qian Renxue shook her head again. "Our people in Vast Sea City reported that during the heaven-and-earth anomaly, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all stationed in Vast Sea City."
"Then..." Lion Douluo and the other worshippers exchanged glances, a faint inconceivable idea emerging.
"The three from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly didn't act; the ones who did were only Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King." Bi Ji's voice drew everyone's gazes over.
"My husband?" The Demon Empress's tone carried a trace of surprise.
"Mm, this is what Xue Di told me before." Bi Ji nodded, recounting to everyone the situation where Xue Di and Bing Di had watched almost the entire battle.
"Hiss—"
Not just the soul masters—even the soul beasts inhaled a cold breath upon hearing this terrifying event.
So, this wasn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect bragging between A and C to their sect in the Heaven Dou Empire; these were real events that happened?
Not long ago, the Heaven Dou Empire announced the fallen elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: Wang Quan Fugui, and the Alchemy Pavilion Pavilion Master Dugu Bo; his granddaughter Dugu Yan—all heroes who protected the Heaven Dou Empire.
Dugu Bo single-handedly blocked the invasion of hundreds of thousands of Star Luo Empire troops—his merits were immense.
Wang Quan Fugui persisted in guarding Vast Sea City, blocking the sea soul beast invasion and protecting Heaven Dou Empire territory—his heroic soul endures eternally.
Dugu Yan single-handedly eliminated over a hundred thousand sea soul beast troops about to launch a beast tide overseas, averting the devastation of Vast Sea City and the near-emptying of human society in ten households out of ten—her achievements are outstanding.
So, these things really happened!
Never mind the front ones; just Dugu Yan—isn't that too outrageous?
A soul master who had just broken through to Soul Douluo, even with Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower amplification, actually wiped out over a hundred thousand soul beasts?
Forget soul beasts—even a hundred thousand pigs would take you days to kill!
If that's not enough.
Then...
Ning Rongrong one sword per little friend, chopping through five 100,000-year soul beasts like cutting vegetables.
That's just fucking outrageous.
