Chapter 238: Battle with Qian Daoliu

In the sky, Yang Podi and Qian Daoliu stood on opposite sides. Qian Daoliu shone like a radiant sun, illuminating the heavens and earth, while Yang Podi exuded an aura as steadfast as a mountain, his energy dazzling like gold.

The two incredible auras collided in midair, as if splitting heaven and earth apart.

Qian Daoliu spoke softly, "What impressive strength, young friend. Since Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Clan, your power may be the strongest I've seen."

"Senior flatters me. In today's world, when it comes to strength, no one can rival Spirit Hall. With your Pope Bibi Dong and you, a peerless Douluo, I am merely a junior," Yang Podi replied modestly.

He then summoned his martial soul, the Breaking Soul Spear, along with his spirit rings. His spirit ring configuration was: black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, red—five black and four red. Even from afar, Qian Daoliu felt tremendous pressure from it.

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, and behind him appeared a massive six-winged angel martial soul. Nine spirit rings materialized at his feet: black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red—eight black and one red, identical to the configuration of Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi.

As Qian Daoliu's six-winged angel martial soul manifested, it emitted an immensely powerful holy aura, accompanied by a potent fire attribute. Under the sunlight, its strength seemed to grow endlessly.

A sacred white aura enveloped the heavens and earth, amplifying Qian Daoliu's power and even causing Yang Podi to feel his spirit power diminish. He also noticed that the killing intent within him seemed to dissipate slightly, proving that the Killing God Domain was indeed restrained by the Angel Domain.

This must be the legendary Angel Domain inherent to the six-winged angel martial soul, a god-level martial soul.

However, Yang Podi was unfazed. A brilliant golden aura spread across the land, signifying his Breaking Soul Domain, which embodied the Ultimate Metal attribute. In terms of domain power, it was not inferior to Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain.

The sky was instantly divided into two halves—one golden and one white—each side refusing to yield as they stood in equal opposition.

Without hesitation, Yang Podi gripped his Breaking Soul Spear with both hands and thrust forward. Countless spear rays emerged from the spearhead, their sharpness significantly enhanced by the Breaking Soul Domain, as if each ray could pierce through the opposing Angel Domain.

Qian Daoliu waved his hands, and the enormous six-winged angel martial soul behind him mimicked his movements. A colossal angel arm blocked the incoming spear rays.

The rays struck the six-winged angel martial soul, seemingly punching holes into it. However, these holes were instantly filled with flames and healed within moments, as if nothing had happened. This was the first time Yang Podi's "Myriad Blades Converge into One" had been blocked.

Next, a massive angel arm reached out to grab Yang Podi. The arm was pure and holy, imbued with Ultimate Fire and divine attributes.

Yang Podi thrust his spear directly forward, and the Breaking Soul Spear emitted a dragon's roar, resembling a raging dragon aiming to shatter everything ahead. This was Yang Podi's spear technique: "The Spear Emerges Like a Dragon."

The Breaking Soul Spear, like a fiery, explosive dragon, collided with the arm of the six-winged angel, carving a massive wound. However, the immense strength from the angel also forced Yang Podi back two meters, while Qian Daoliu retreated five meters. It was evident that Yang Podi held a significant strength advantage.

Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly. "Young friend, your Ultimate Metal attribute and strength are truly formidable, far beyond my own."

Yang Podi responded indifferently, "Senior is too humble. Your Ultimate Fire and divine attributes are unparalleled as well."

"However, if the six-winged angel martial soul has only this level of power, it hardly deserves the title of a god-level martial soul."

Qian Daoliu was not angered. Instead, his fifth spirit ring lit up—it was his fifth spirit ability: Holy Sword.

The holy flames of the six-winged angel martial soul condensed into a longsword. This sword possessed immense offensive power and significantly enhanced the purifying effects of the Angel Soul Power.

Holding the golden sword, Qian Daoliu thrust it forward. The strike appeared ordinary but carried countless variations, befitting the continent's true foremost swordmaster.

Behind him, the six-winged angel martial soul also wielded a massive divine sword, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth.

Yang Podi nodded appreciatively. The six-winged angel martial soul was intriguing, possessing the robust body of a beast martial soul and the lethal traits of a tool martial soul—a fusion of both types. Even this fifth spirit ability resembled the true body of a tool martial soul.

Yet Yang Podi's expression remained unchanged, tinged with excitement. He had long yearned for a battle with a true master, and Qian Daoliu was the ideal opponent.

Yang Podi gripped the Breaking Soul Spear and thrust forward with the force of thunder, as if piercing through everything in its path. The strike shattered the enormous martial soul's divine sword projection and advanced toward Qian Daoliu.

The Angelic Sword and the Breaking Soul Spear clashed. Both combatants retreated three meters simultaneously. Qian Daoliu's swordsmanship was indeed extraordinary.

But Yang Podi showed no fear. He gripped the Breaking Soul Spear and attacked again. Qian Daoliu remained unfazed, wielding his sword to counter.

In mere minutes, the two exchanged countless blows in the sky, as if cleaving it apart. Their sword energy and spear rays reached tens of thousands of meters away, emanating endless killing intent.

Occasionally, stray strikes pierced nearby snow-capped mountains, leaving massive craters. As for the clouds above, they had long been dispersed by their spirit power, leaving the world as clear as a mirror.

By this time, even Qian Daoliu was slightly moved. He hadn't expected to fight a rank 98 Titled Douluo for so long without gaining the upper hand. For someone as dominant as him, this was already a form of humiliation.

Qian Daoliu's fourth spirit ring lit up—it was his fourth spirit ability: Angelic Bladefall. His six wings spread wide, concentrating all energy into his hands and slashing out six golden sword rays. These rays intersected to form six wing-like projections, each brimming with immense energy. If struck, they would explode immediately. Enhanced by the Holy Sword, their power was even greater.

Yang Podi sneered and activated his fourth spirit ability: Tiger's Roar Piercing a Thousand Armies. Seven powerful Breaking Soul Spears materialized before him, their attack power increased by 200% and weight by 500%. They shot toward Qian Daoliu at high speed.

Six of the spears intercepted the golden sword rays, while the seventh bypassed them to strike Qian Daoliu directly.

The spears had an incredibly strong homing effect and were astonishingly fast, appearing before Qian Daoliu in an instant.

The sky was filled with explosions as the six golden sword rays clashed with the spears. The final spear pierced through, forcing Qian Daoliu to block with his Holy Sword. Despite his effort, he felt the immense force and sharpness of the Breaking Soul Spear.

This exchange left Qian Daoliu with a significant wound on his hand—a result of underestimating Yang Podi's spirit ability.

Qian Daoliu laughed, "Good! I haven't been injured in fifty years, and today, I've been wounded by a junior."

His sixth spirit ring lit up—it was his sixth spirit ability: Angelic Roar. This ability unleashed a terrifying roar from the six-winged angel, converting spirit power into a unique form of wide-range mental attack.

Yang Podi estimated that Qian Daoliu likely had a powerful head spirit bone. This attack had an incredible homing effect, vast range, and unpredictable nature, making it nearly impossible to defend against.

At this moment, Yang Podi's eyes turned red. A powerful combination of spiritual force, Killing God Domain, and spear energy merged to form a blood-colored spear projection. He unleashed this mental attack rapidly toward Qian Daoliu—it was Yang Podi's Breaking Soul Nine Techniques, Fourth Form: Blood Rain and Carnage.

It had to be said, Qian Daoliu's reaction was exceptionally sharp. Even in the face of such a bizarre attack, especially a spiritual one, he managed to respond in time.

The blood-red Soul-Breaking spear radiance collided with the golden, unique energy of Angel's Roar. It was as though the entire space was shrouded in special energy, ultimately dissolving into nothingness.

Following this powerful clash, both Yang Podi and Qian Daoliu had traces of blood at the corners of their mouths. Evidently, this strike had resulted in a mutually damaging situation.

Yang Podi's disadvantage lay in his lack of a head spirit bone. Even though his spiritual power was not weaker than Qian Daoliu's, there was still a gap in terms of spirit bone effects.

As for Qian Daoliu, he had been caught off guard. He had not expected Yang Podi to possess such formidable spiritual attacks—attacks so powerful that they could contend with the abilities granted by his head spirit bone.

At this moment, Yang Podi became even fiercer. Infusing his soul power into the Soul-Breaking Spear, the entire spear turned blood-red. It emanated the power of Ultimate Metal, Ultimate Strength, and an overwhelming aura of slaughter.

Yang Podi hurled the Soul-Breaking Spear like a javelin. The entire world seemed to be pierced as this spear shot out. This was none other than the fifth form of Yang Podi's Nine Styles of the Soul-Breaking Spear: Heaven-Piercing Spear. Notably, this attack also carried a powerful suppressive effect, living up to its name—Heaven-Piercing.

Qian Daoliu, sensing the immense threat of this spear, immediately activated his eighth spirit skill: Great Angel's Protection. A massive protective shield in the shape of an angel materialized in front of him, exuding an aura of holiness.

Yang Podi's Heaven-Piercing Spear collided with Qian Daoliu's Great Angel's Protection, creating countless sparks. The clash seemed to tear apart the void itself.

Qian Daoliu was clearly astonished by the strength of this strike. Although the Great Angel's Protection shattered, he showed no fear. He immediately gripped the Sacred Sword and slashed toward the Soul-Breaking Spear. The Sacred Sword, imbued with a peculiar energy, seemed to exert significant suppressive effects on the spear.

In the end, Qian Daoliu managed to barely deflect the Heaven-Piercing Spear. However, a substantial wound appeared on his arm.

Based on Yang Podi's own assessment, even the Bear Lord would have been gravely injured by this spear. Yet, this Qian Daoliu was evidently more formidable than the Bear Lord.

What surprised Yang Podi even more was that a strange energy emanated from Qian Daoliu's body. The wound on his arm healed almost instantly, and his soul power aura was rapidly increasing.

Yang Podi glanced at the sun in the sky and sighed, "As expected of someone unrivaled under the heavens. Indeed, the sky is your true domain."

At this moment, both Qian Daoliu's gaze and aura underwent a significant transformation. He appeared even more divine than before.
