Chapter 232: Are You Almost Reaching Your Limit?

Lin Xiu fully activated Six Thousand Lightning Movements. At this moment, this Earth Rank Mid Level body technique truly displayed its terrifying power.

Traces of afterimages were left behind Lin Xiu.

These images were not mere illusions; they contained hidden power and would erupt with immense energy.

"To use such methods to block me, you must be greatly underestimating me, Qing Hai."

The black mist dissipated, revealing an old man with blue hair.

As he looked at Lin Xiu's back, he lifted his foot and stepped forward.

An ocean-like surge of energy exploded, and the Spatial Strength boiled.

The barriers on either side of the passage trembled and shook, as if they might shatter at any moment.

The space in front of Venerable Qing Hai quickly twisted.

"Thunder God Finger!"

Lin Xiu paused momentarily, then sharply pointed forward before retreating without hesitation.

In the next second, the space where he had been distorted, and the blue-haired old man's figure emerged from within.

Venerable Qing Hai glanced at the descending Thunder God Finger and shouted, "Break!"

A crack opened in the space, completely swallowing the incoming Thunder God Finger. The process was clean and swift.

After dealing with the Thunder God Finger, Venerable Qing Hai raised his hand and grasped toward Lin Xiu.

The space twisted, faintly revealing the outline of a cage.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu struck out with both fists, shattering the space that had begun to solidify.

As a Dou Ancestor with the power of a Seventh Rank Magic Beast, he was formidable.

Lin Xiu was not at all worried or afraid of such methods.

What concerned him more was the opponent's other techniques.

With their realms being what they were, the difference between a Dou Ancestor and a Dou Venerate was not just a matter of 1 Star. Moreover, he was only a 1 Star Dou Ancestor himself, so the chances of a direct confrontation were slim.

"We can't keep fighting here; we need to rely on external help."

Lin Xiu looked at the blue-haired old man, who had a faint smile at the corners of his mouth and seemed confident about capturing him.

"I need to enter the spatial turbulence. You stay alert."

After speaking to Zi Yan, Lin Xiu did not wait for her response and forcefully tore open a crack.

Facing the sharp and dangerous spatial turbulence, he entered without showing any emotion.

"Little fellow, there is no one we in the Hall of Souls cannot obtain."

Venerable Qing Hai smirked and leisurely tore open a crack to follow.

Outside the spatial passage was an area of indescribable danger, filled with various energies, howling winds and thunder, and boiling water and fire.

Looking around, Lin Xiu could see no exits.

He first glanced at Zi Yan, feeling somewhat concerned for her.

His own physique was comparable to a Seventh Rank Magic Beast, and with his realm already advanced to Dou Ancestor, he would not be in too much danger as long as he didn't stay here for an extended period.

On the other hand, Zi Yan had only recently advanced to Dou Emperor.

Yet Zi Yan seemed to be in even better condition than him. She was unaffected by the turbulence and showed no signs of trouble.

"Lin Xiu, why does it feel so comfortable here?"

Zi Yan didn't understand; could it be that her true form is a Magic Beast existing in the void?

"I'll explain later."

Lin Xiu had a vague guess that Zi Yan's immunity to the turbulence was likely related to her true form being an Ancient Void Dragon. Since he didn't need to worry about Zi Yan's safety, he could now focus on other matters.

Lin Xiu randomly chose a direction and quickly moved away with Zi Yan.

However, a blue light flashed ahead, and Venerable Qing Hai appeared, reaching out to grab Lin Xiu.

"So fast!"

Startled, Lin Xiu's actions were not slow. He swung his fist to counter.

Bang!

Lin Xiu was forced back seven steps, while Venerable Qing Hai retreated three steps.

"Are you really a Dou Ancestor?"

Venerable Qing Hai was taken aback, showing surprise on his face. Although he hadn't used his full strength, the Dou Venerate realm was significant.

Yet even so, he was still pushed back three steps.

"That depends on how you see it. Anyway, let me make it clear: if you force me into a corner, not only will I have a hard time, but you won't fare any better either."

Lin Xiu's gaze was cold, and his tone was steady.

With so many Dou Techniques and Yuan apertures at his disposal, if pushed to the edge, even if you are a Dou Venerate, he could still cause you significant harm.

"Big words with no substance."

Qing Hai's eyes showed disdain as he threw a punch.

In the turbulent space, his power cleared a clean area with a sweep.

Faced with this punch, Lin Xiu didn't dare to be careless. He pushed Zi Yan aside and quickly formed hand seals.

"Burning Essence Secret Technique!"

The Earth Rank Low Level enhancement Secret Technique activated, and Lin Xiu's Yuan apertures vibrated together, their rotation speed suddenly accelerating.

A massive amount of energy surged out, flooding into the nebula in his Dantian.

2 Star!

3 Star!

4 Star!

5 Star!

Lin Xiu's rising aura only stabilized when he reached 5 Star Dou Ancestor.

But it wasn't over. Flames erupted from his entire body, covering him in Blue Flame.

"Star Fire Spirit Body!"

Lin Xiu shouted, his clothes instantly burned to black ash by the intense heat. His body expanded to over three meters tall, with pieces of fiery armor covering him.

"Shattering Mountains and Rivers!"

He swung his right hand and struck out fiercely.

A surge of energy surged forth, as if it wanted to shatter mountains and break rivers, colliding with Qing Hai's punch.

Boom!

The turbulence within a radius of ten meters vanished under this force.

"Amplification Secret Technique, Body Forging Dou Technique, Heavenly Flame..."

Qing Hai retreated seven or eight meters, stabilizing himself. He looked at the flame-like Lin Xiu with a somewhat gloomy expression.

After observing for a couple of seconds, his surprised expression faded, replaced by a look of delight. "So many good things."

"You should first worry about whether you have a life to think about them."

Lin Xiu's figure flashed, appearing beside the blue-haired old man, and his fists struck with phantom images.

Each strike created ripples of energy.

Despite being covered in blue light and his body shimmering with the impact, Venerable Qing Hai showed no signs of breaking.

Lin Xiu did not feel discouraged.

He knew he was strong but wasn't arrogant enough to believe he could break through a Dou Venerate's defenses with just a few moves.

Thus, Lin Xiu relied on his Yuan aperture energy for support, using his speed and strength to suppress his opponent while simultaneously refining various Dou Techniques.

"Shattering Mountains and Rivers!"

"Thunder God Finger!"

"Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique!"

Various Dou Techniques emerged one after another. Lin Xiu had mastered them all and used them with ease, feeling no pressure whatsoever.

"Is this kid really surnamed Lin?"

As he blocked one attack after another, Qing Hai's eyes flashed with bewilderment. Each high-level Dou Technique appeared exceptionally impressive.

Even after working diligently in the Hall of Souls, he hadn't encountered someone with such profound skills.

Hehe... This is truly a treasure trove.

After extracting his secrets, it wouldn't be too late to bring him back to the Hall of Souls.

Qing Hai was confident in his defenses and planned to outlast Lin Xiu.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, attacking and defending within this area.

"Kid, are you starting to run out of stamina?"

Qing Hai noticed that Lin Xiu's movements had become somewhat hesitant. Given the difference in their realms, the outcome had been predetermined from the start.

It was finally time for him to reap the rewards.

At this moment, he saw Lin Xiu change his hand gestures again, something he hadn't seen before. "Does he still have more Dou Techniques?"

"Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Wheel!"

Lin Xiu shouted sharply, his expression resolute.

This was his trump card; if it failed, he would have to run. He hoped it would buy him a little more time.

The two wheels, one above and one below, began to slowly rotate.

"Heaven Rank Dou Technique?!"

Qing Hai felt the overwhelming aura in the void, his eyes gleaming with green light, his excitement barely contained.

Get it! It must be obtained!
