Chapter 269: The First Fallen Title Douluo
"Seventh Soul Skill, Qingluan True Form!"
The Lion Douluo and the Mad Rhino Douluo, who had come to provide reinforcements, were intercepted by others. The Qingluan Douluo knew that at this moment, the only one he could rely on was himself.
Facing Xiao Yu's relentless sword rain, which surged like an unending river, the Qingluan Douluo immediately activated his Martial Soul Avatar.
With a sharp and piercing phoenix cry, the Qingluan Douluo transformed into a magnificent qingluan over a hundred meters long. In that instant, his aura surged more than tenfold. His azure wings spread wide, unleashing a violent gust that shattered Xiao Yu's sword rain into scattered fragments.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Nether Monarch True Form!"
Xiao Yu also activated his Martial Soul Avatar. A dense black light suddenly burst from his chest, swiftly engulfing his entire body. His form expanded rapidly, growing to an enormous height of over ten meters. The energy pressure radiating from his body caused the Qingluan Douluo to tremble, and even the nearby Lion Worshiper, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, Mad Rhino Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo were affected to some extent.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Phoenix Cloud Nine Heavens!"
Under the overwhelming pressure brought by Xiao Yu's Martial Soul Avatar, the Qingluan Douluo had no choice but to strike first.
His sixth soul ring lit up, and another sharp cry echoed through the sky. A silver-white storm formed around him, exuding an immense suction force.
Below them, the Nine-Star Hall's fortress, reinforced by the Yu Clan, who specialized in architecture, shook violently as if struck by an earthquake. Thick cracks spread across the marble walls, and even the soul masters fighting on the battlefield ahead were affected. The weaker ones were directly torn apart by the storm's frenzied pull, their bodies exploding into a rain of blood.
However, despite the terrifying force of the storm, Xiao Yu stood unmoved, as steady as Mount Tai. No matter how fiercely the storm attempted to rip and pull him, his body remained completely unaffected.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Infernal Judgment!"
With a cold shout, Xiao Yu raised his hand, and a black vortex appeared in the sky. From within, countless beams of death energy, infused with the power of the Nether Monarch, shot forth like an endless rain of destruction, surging directly toward the Qingluan Douluo's raging storm.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A deluge of death beams poured down like a torrential downpour, clashing against the silver-white storm surrounding the Qingluan Douluo. Explosions erupted continuously in the sky, shaking the heavens with their reverberating echoes.
A battle between soul skills always boiled down to a contest of soul power. Though the Qingluan Douluo had a higher cultivation level than Xiao Yu, divine-tier martial souls could not be judged by conventional logic. Moreover, Xiao Yu had an inexhaustible energy supply—an unlimited "power bank" fueling him.
The solidified silver-white storm surrounding the Qingluan Douluo began to crack under the continuous bombardment of the death beams. Yet, gritting his teeth, he held on with all his might. He refused to give up until the very last moment.
Xiao Yu sneered, suddenly raising his hand toward the sky. His five fingers clenched tightly, and the countless death beams scattered across the sky rapidly converged. In the blink of an eye, they merged into a single massive beam of light, more than two meters in diameter.
This was Xiao Yu's self-created soul skill, derived from his sixth soul skill—Reaper's Light!
In a flash, the colossal beam condensed from countless death rays shot forward at an unimaginable speed. It was so fast that it seemed to pierce through space itself, striking directly at the Qingluan Douluo's silver-white storm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the two forces collided, the storm barrier formed by the Qingluan Douluo's soul power shattered instantly.
Seeing the terrifying beam about to strike him directly, the Qingluan Douluo's ninth soul ring erupted with dazzling brilliance at the last moment. His aura surged to its peak as a cyan-green beam shot forth from his beak in his transformed Qingluan form.
Ninth Soul Skill—Azure Sky Verdict!
Qingluan gracefully flew westward, vanishing into the vast sky and endless sea!
This was Qingluan Douluo's strongest strike, not only containing immense power but also possessing terrifying speed. It pushed the wind and soundwave elements of his martial soul to their limits, delivering a wide-scale, devastating attack that left nothing but desolation in its wake. Even opponents of the same level would struggle to withstand its might.
This was the very reason why, despite being the same level as Lion Douluo at rank ninety-seven, Qingluan Douluo had managed to surpass him and secure the third seat in the Worship Hall. Lion Douluo had once endured the direct impact of this ninth soul skill, and if not for Qian Daoliu's intervention at the time, the Martial Soul Hall might have lost a worshiper that day.
Boom!
The cyan-green beam clashed violently with the descending beam of death, their opposing energies entangling and consuming each other. At the point of impact, space itself distorted under the immense energy, and thin, pitch-black cracks appeared in the air, visible to all.
Xiao Yu's self-created soul skill, Reaper's Light, was derived from his sixth soul skill. But when pitted against Qingluan Douluo's desperate ninth soul skill, it ultimately fell short. For nearly two minutes, the two beams wrestled against each other in the sky until, at last, the black beam of Reaper's Light was overpowered and dissipated.
However, even after obliterating its opponent, the cyan-green beam did not slow. With its terrifying momentum still intact, it hurtled toward Xiao Yu at an unstoppable speed.
But before Qingluan Douluo could even celebrate, he saw Xiao Yu's thirty-thousand-year soul ring, adorned with three golden patterns, erupt with a blinding radiance. A deafening dragon's roar resounded as an overwhelming surge of soul power burst from his body. Behind him, a massive spectral bone dragon, shrouded in black light, emerged with a fierce presence that instantly shattered Qingluan Douluo's ninth soul skill.
"What… impossible!"
Qingluan Douluo's face changed drastically. That was his strongest ninth soul skill, yet it couldn't even last a single second against Xiao Yu's attack! Just how terrifying was Xiao Yu's ninth soul skill?
Before Qingluan Douluo could react further, the colossal bone dragon, exuding an overwhelming and terrifying force, slammed directly into him. A thunderous explosion erupted, and shockwaves of concentrated sound burst outward, shaking the heavens and earth as if an ocean had overturned the sky itself.
At the very center of the explosion, Qingluan Douluo's body was utterly destroyed from the inside out. His corpse exploded into countless pieces, scattering across the fortress walls, while dark red blood instantly dyed the surroundings.
The third worshiper of the Martial Soul Hall, Qingluan Douluo—rank ninety-seven Title Douluo—had fallen!
