Volume 34, Chapter 482.3: Eight Skills Fired Consecutively (1/2)

“Eh, what’s this?” Long Xiaoyao was still standing there, motionless, and he grinned as he allowed those two beams of light to land on his body.

There weren’t any soul power undulations, nor were there spiritual undulations. The black and white beams didn’t seem to do anything at all. However, Long Xiaoyao’s expression changed a little when they actually landed on him, and an inexplicable sense of danger immediately appeared in his mind.

I can feel danger?

“Spiritual, Shock!” A voice with a strange tone rang out, and every syllable uttered made the enormous vertical eye a little brighter. One could see that all the rose-gold light that the vertical eye was radiating had turned blood-red in this moment.

A pillar of light that was the same size as the vertical eye blasted out in the next moment and went right for Long Xiaoyao.

Long Xiaoyao snorted as his body, which was originally submerged within all the rose-gold colors, suddenly turned black as a dragon roar that seemed to come from ancient ages could be heard. An enormous black dragon head appeared in front of him as it howled deeply at all the rose-gold light around him.

Spiritual power against spiritual power – this was the arrogance that belonged to an Ultimate Douluo!

Even though Long Xiaoyao wasn’t a spiritual-type soul master, his mastery of spiritual power had already reached the limits of terrifying because he was an Ultimate Douluo.

However, something that astonished the Dragon Emperor Douluo once more happened.

The rose-gold pillar of light that seemed unstoppable as it zipped through the air suddenly paused – yes, it paused – and a shadow suddenly appeared in front of it. It was Huo Yuhao, who was back in human form.

A rose-gold wheel of light glowed behind his head. There were patterns of a Three-Eyed Golden Lion within this wheel.

Huo Yuhao’s body slammed almost directly into the giant black dragon head, and he was immediately consumed by the darkness.

Everything happened too suddenly, and Long Xiaoyao was momentarily stunned. Afterwards, he looked on in surprise as the black dragon head that he had conjured with his spiritual power dissipated just like that. The figure was still hovering in midair, and the rose-gold pillar that was reactivated enveloped that shadow before it wrapped around him and slammed brutally into Long Xiaoyao’s body.

The rose-gold pillar’s origin, the vertical eye, disappeared in that moment, and a large black door filled with eerie and sinister auras took its place.

Huo Yuhao’s face was very pale as he stood at the gate’s entrance. He was holding Tang Wutong with one of his hands, and her Radiant Dragon Butterfly’s wings were outstretched.

“Let’s go!” Huo Yuhao dashed into the door as he pulled Tang Wutong along.

There would only be one outcome battling an Ultimate Douluo, and that was death and defeat!

Therefore, Huo Yuhao had never considered fighting against the Dragon Emperor Douluo from the beginning. What he needed was an opportunity.

Destiny’s Judgment from the Eye of the Asura was the first step to creating this chance. Bad luck appearing on his opponent was equivalent to good luck standing on his side.

Black and white lights crossed. Those were the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s two powerful soul skills conferred by his sixth soul ring, Spiritual Dispossession and Destiny’s Demise. They instantly lowered his opponent’s defense against both material and spiritual attacks.

Even Huo Yuhao didn’t know what kind of effect these two powerful soul skills could achieve against an Ultimate Douluo.

What came next was his most powerful spiritual attack, the Eye of the Asura’s Spiritual Shock! The rose-gold colors almost became blood-red when he was using his full strength.

Huo Yuhao could only get closer to an Ultimate Douluo with spiritual attacks. He had actually paid an enormous price for that momentary pause in the middle, and cracks even appeared in his spiritual sea in that moment because of it.

But it was that momentary pause that allowed him to dispel the Eye of the Asura, and use Instant Teleportation to appear in front of his own Spiritual Shock. What he leveraged was the Dragon Emperor Douluo’s arrogance, and he was betting that the Dragon Emperor Douluo would use spiritual power to fight against his own Spiritual Shock.

He was successful in his wager. He used his body to take a hit from the Dragon Emperor Douluo’s attack, and he used his soul skill that came from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s skull, Destiny’s Adjudication. That soul skill allowed him to become immune to spiritual attacks thrice a day.

Huo Yuhao managed to escape from the Evileye Tyrant King’s assault back then because of this soul skill.

His chances were boosted once more!

The black door appeared because Huo Yuhao was already making his incantations when he became the Eye of the Asura. He relied on his spiritual soul core to do two things at the same time, and his body sustained an enormous burden as he completed the summoning of his spectral demiplane.

What Huo Yuhao needed was the last step in creating this opportunity. He made another bet, that his strongest form of Spiritual Shock could cause the Dragon Emperor Douluo to be momentarily stunned after taking a hit from Spiritual Dispossession.
