Black Dragon Bleeds, Angels Fall!
The Dragon God Claw is Di Tian's ultimate technique!
He unleashed his strongest killing move without hesitation!
Di Tian disdained any probing; his goal was to crush Qian Daoliu with absolute, invincible might, instilling fear and dread in the human Soul Masters!
Qian Daoliu was helpless, feeling the terrifying power of the Dragon God Claw.
He could only channel the divine power within the Angel Divine Sword.
Only by using the Angel Divine Skill could he contend against it.
The Dragon God Claw, which annihilated all things, collided with the blazing white sword light.
In an instant, the world seemed to fall silent.
Immediately after, a deafening explosion echoed from the high heavens!
"Boom!"
The killing moves of the two top experts below the God rank clashed head-on.
Even from tens of thousands of meters in the sky, it caused Soul Masters and Spirit Beasts extremely far away to faint and bleed from their ears.
Lin Xiao's eyes turned a brilliant gold.
He stared intently at the sky above.
If it were Di Tian from ten thousand years later, Qian Daoliu would absolutely not be his opponent, unless he was within Spirit City, under the coverage of the Angel God's Godhood Inheritance, where divine power flowed continuously, allowing him to remain invincible.
But at this moment.
Di Tian's cultivation year had not yet broken through 800,000 years.
Qian Daoliu had also left Spirit City.
Who would win, it was truly hard to say.
After their first exchange, the victor between Di Tian and Qian Daoliu was unknown.
With a tacit understanding, the two ascended higher into the sky.
Their figures were obscured by the clouds.
This prevented Ning Fengzhi and Ye Qingxian from assisting Qian Daoliu.
Lin Xiao unleashed his Pupil Technique Domain, and two Golden Crows soared into the heavens!
He saw above the clouds!
A massive, sprawling four-clawed Black Dragon was confronting Qian Daoliu, who held the Angel Divine Sword, while behind Qian Daoliu stood the colossal phantom of the Angel God.
Suddenly, the golden eyes of the four-clawed Black Dragon looked towards the Golden Crows.
To Lin Xiao, it felt as if the dragon was looking directly at him.
"Hmph!"
Di Tian let out a cold snort.
Immediately, the two Golden Crows exploded and died.
Lin Xiao urgently severed his connection with the Golden Crow phantoms, but he still felt a sharp pain in his head, and his face turned instantly pale!
Fortunately, a cool aura from the Tianmeng Spiritual Pivot Crown allowed Lin Xiao to recover slightly.
Lin Xiao sighed.
"As expected, even peeking at battles of this level is difficult."
Di Tian...
That name became a new mountain weighing on Lin Xiao's heart!
Lin Xiao then turned to ask Feng Ye.
"Feng Ye, who do you think will win in the end?"
Feng Ye pondered for a moment and stated with certainty:
"Di Tian!"
"However, he cannot kill Qian Daoliu!"
"Or rather, he has the ability to kill Qian Daoliu, but he cannot bear the cost!"
Lin Xiao understood Feng Ye's words.
It meant that in a life-or-death struggle, Di Tian would undoubtedly have the upper hand.
But if Di Tian wanted to slay Qian Daoliu, who wielded the Angel Divine Sword, he would definitely have to pay a heavy price. As the backbone of the Star Dou Great Forest's Ferocious Beasts, and with Gu Yuena still recovering from her serious injuries, he would not risk his life.
Seeing Lin Xiao's thoughts wander.
Feng Ye comforted him:
"After all, he is a Ferocious Beast close to 800,000 years old."
"And a Pureblood True Dragon at that."
Lin Xiao nodded, then fell into thought.
If Qian Daoliu wasn't the Great Enshrinement of the Angel God and didn't have the Angel Divine Sword, Di Tian's strength would absolutely crush him.
There were many reasons for this outcome:
The Ferocious Beast's formidable physique; the Pureblood True Dragon's bloodline; the power of the Dragon God Claw...
Among them, Di Tian's Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores were also important factors.
It's worth mentioning that
the soul core system was a later addition to the Douluo series, not explicitly mentioned in Douluo 1. However, soul cores are one of the prerequisites for a Soul Master to advance to Titled Douluo and Limit Douluo, so theoretically, they should all have them.
For example, Dugu Bo's Inner Core condensed when he broke through to Titled Douluo...
(Note: The soul core is a later setting in the Douluo series, considered a retcon. However, it creates a logical disconnect with the previous works. Following the closed-loop logic of this book, it means that reaching Titled and Limit Douluo in Douluo 1 requires soul cores. But Di Tian was the first soul beast to possess Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, making him even more powerful.)
"Compared to ordinary soul cores, the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores allow the power of the two soul cores to merge, recombine, be refined, and concentrated, thus possessing higher compressibility and stronger destructive power!"
"Huo Yuhao, with his powerful Spiritual Power, managed to condense a spiritual soul core in advance during his Soul Saint stage. In theory, I can too."
"It's just a matter of how to operate it..."
Lin Xiao pinched his chin, thinking about the compression of Soul Power and the vortex. Perhaps it had some common ground with the Flame Burst Technique.
However, Lin Xiao wasn't overthinking it at this moment.
He had Feng Ye, an existence on the level of an "old grandmother."
Since he had a cultivation mentor, why would he rack his own brain trying to figure it out?
He could ask her when he had free time later.
...
Di Tian and Qian Daoliu were fighting in the Azure Sky.
Below, the Soul Masters and soul beasts were all on edge.
Especially Qian Renxue, who gazed at the Azure Sky with complex emotions, lost in thought.
Qian Daoliu wasn't unaware of Di Tian's power.
Yet, he still chose to come out and fight.
If he had stayed within Spirit City, with the Angel Godhood Inheritance, Qian Daoliu would have been invincible...
Qian Daoliu's choice was a guiding light for Qian Renxue.
This grandfather and granddaughter were also master and disciple.
Suddenly, the sun in the sky became exceptionally bright, even to the point of being blinding!
The people below couldn't open their eyes due to the scorching sunlight.
Lin Xiao's heart stirred.
Feng Ye's urgent voice sounded, "It's the Solar Authority!"
"Lin Xiao! Qian Daoliu has been pushed into a corner!"
"After your Martial Soul evolved into Great Sun Golden Flame, you also gained a small portion of the Solar Authority. You can choose to hinder Qian Daoliu now, or... lend him a hand!"
"It all depends on your choice!"
Lin Xiao: "..."
Nonsense, why wouldn't he help Qian Daoliu? Help Di Tian instead?
Lin Xiao smiled slightly. In his Dantian, a Golden Crow and a Black Crow were led by the Phoenix. The Golden Crow suddenly ignited with golden flames, then transformed into a golden light, soaring into the sky.
Back then, in the Angel Temple, Lin Xiao received the Angel God's blessing, and later, Qian Daoliu showed him favor.
Although his stance and the Spirit Hall's might conflict.
He had always been someone who distinguished clearly between kindness and resentment; repaying kindness with kindness, and directness with resentment!
He considered the favor from the Angel God to be on Qian Renxue's head, and he would do his best not to let her God's Examination repeat past mistakes; as for Qian Daoliu's favor, he would repay it today!
In the Azure Sky.
Qian Daoliu felt the pressure from Di Tian.
"Beast God... If I weren't the Great Enshrinement of the Angel God, I probably wouldn't even have the qualification to contend with you. Truly the strongest under the Gods."
"However, I have reasons to fight."
Qian Daoliu closed his eyes, burning all his Soul Power, forcefully activating the Angel Divine Sword, drawing upon the power of the sun, preparing to launch a world-shattering attack on Di Tian.
At this moment, an external force suddenly merged into the Angel Divine Sword!
Qian Daoliu's eyes snapped open in shock, but he hadn't even reacted.
The sword move had already been fully charged.
"Blazing Sun... Overpowers Heaven!"
Di Tian's golden eyes were icy as he mobilized his spirit, blood, and soul power into one. The Dragon God Claw shattered space, striking towards the blazing sun before him.
...
Below, the crowd suddenly cried out in alarm.
They saw pure white feathers drifting down from the sky.
They were stained with golden dragon blood.
