NOVEL WEB Chapter 253: The Appearance of the Ghost Emperor
Black mist surged around Bone Dragon Douluo, and the phantom of a bone dragon roared towards the sky. Countless pale bone spikes erupted from the ground, forming a forest of death that enveloped Huo Yuhao.
Bone Prison: Thousand Thorns Burial!
Each bone spike was entwined with twisted spatial energy, and wherever they passed, even light was shattered into fragments.
This was Bone Dragon Douluo's ninth soul skill, combined with spatial attributes, capable of turning a hundred-meter radius into a domain of death.
Golden light swirled in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he pressed down fiercely with his right wrist. Five claw marks of gold and silver tore through the earth. The dark golden blade radiance was adorned with crescent-shaped silver light, and everything it touched was annihilated into nothingness.
Behind the fifty-meter-long light mark, silver spatial cracks spread like spiderwebs along the edges of the passage, blocking all attacks from Bone Dragon Douluo.
"Bear Lord's Tearing Sky Claw?"
Seeing yet another terrifying application of spatial energy, Bone Dragon Douluo felt himself growing numb.
Huo Yuhao was like a bottomless treasure trove, each move revealing an overwhelming depth of power.
Facing him, Bone Dragon Douluo even began to doubt who the real super Douluo was, himself or Huo Yuhao. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
He should be the one suppressing Huo Yuhao, using endless techniques to control him, not being constrained by Huo Yuhao and struggling to exert his full strength.
"Could it be that I have to wait until Huo Yuhao's soul power is exhausted?"
This thought arose in Bone Dragon Douluo's mind.
Huo Yuhao possessed a soul core, which Bone Dragon Douluo had confirmed during the battle. However, compared to his own dual soul cores and 96th-level cultivation, Huo Yuhao's soul power was undoubtedly weaker. In this aspect, he was still quite confident...
Boom—!!!
As Bone Dragon Douluo pondered, the sky suddenly split open, and an overwhelmingly terrifying aura rose from the distance. The battle between Huo Yuhao and Bone Dragon Douluo was affected, and they temporarily ceased fighting, instantly separating and cautiously looking towards the distance.
Huo Yuhao frowned as he looked in that direction, his expression serious.
This was the pressure of a Limit Douluo, and not just one. In that direction, there were three Limit Douluos, but among them, only the familiar auras of Divine Domain Douluo and Amorous were present. Soul Suppression Douluo was missing.
In other words, another Limit Douluo had joined the battle!
Bone Dragon Douluo was equally shocked as he looked in that direction.
This familiar aura... could it be... that lord?
...
Before Huo Yuhao and Bone Dragon Douluo could fully grasp the presence of the new Limit Douluo, outside West Sea City on the sea, Blood Shadow Douluo was drenched in blood, half of his body nearly torn apart. He was sent crashing into the sea by a single palm strike from Soul Suppression Douluo, like a piece of ragged cloth!
"Cough, cough!" Blood Shadow Douluo struggled to emerge from the seawater, his face as pale as paper as he looked at Soul Suppression Douluo's leisurely figure.
His proud strength had been completely suppressed!
He was a 97th-level super Douluo, stronger than both Bone Dragon Douluo and Demon Scythe Douluo, and now he even had the support of a three-word battle armor. He could be said to be infinitely close to a Limit Douluo.
Yet the man before him had effortlessly pressed him into the water, not even using his battle armor!
Not only that, but Blood Shadow Douluo also faintly felt that his martial soul was being suppressed.
Blood Demon Shadow, this was his martial soul, similar to the Blood Eye martial soul, a sinister martial soul capable of controlling blood. Its core ability was to rapidly grow by devouring blood and soul power.
It was because of this ability that he had risen to prominence within the Holy Spirit Cult, becoming a core member.
But when facing Soul Suppression Douluo, he occasionally felt powerless, a phenomenon that only occurred when facing a martial soul of the same type that could suppress his own!
This meant that the other party's martial soul was also a sinister one!
"Are you from the Spirit Pagoda Execution Department?"
Blood Shadow Douluo glared darkly at Soul Suppression Douluo.
He knew that the Douluo Federation had two organizations managing those with sinister martial souls, the Spirit Pagoda Execution Department and the Federation's Shadow Division. However, the head of the Shadow Division was elusive and hadn't been seen for years, while the highest-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda Execution Department should only be a 97th-level super Douluo.
With such a dangerous martial soul and such formidable strength, how could the Spirit Pagoda allow him to act freely and even rise to the position of one of the four Spirit Envoys? It seemed that Soul Suppression Douluo was even more dangerous than he had imagined. He had made a mistake in choosing his opponent.
Fortunately, his mission was only to block Soul Suppression Douluo and prevent him from intervening in Huo Yuhao's battle.
By now, Bone Dragon Douluo should have succeeded.
(Bone Dragon Douluo: ...What can I say? Should we switch opponents?)
Soul Suppression Douluo glanced at Blood Shadow Douluo. "Think what you will. Now..."
Before he could finish, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked solemnly into the distance.
This aura... a Quasi-God?
Blood Shadow Douluo also sensed the aura from afar and was momentarily stunned before bursting into wild laughter. "Hahaha! Soul Suppression Douluo, you're done for! The Ghost Emperor has arrived. Today is your death day!"
A trace of gravity flashed in Soul Suppression Douluo's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. A set of dark red battle armor, more magnificent than Blood Shadow Douluo's, gradually appeared on his body.
Upon seeing this battle armor, Blood Shadow Douluo's laughter abruptly stopped, as if his neck had been choked.
"Four-word battle armor?!"
Four-word battle armor was a rare treasure even within the Holy Spirit Cult.
After all, without a divine craftsman, four-word battle armor had to be nurtured by the soul master themselves, and those with the energy and ability to do so were usually Limit Douluos who had reached the peak of their cultivation.
In their Holy Spirit Cult, only a few Limit Douluos possessed four-word battle armor, and they were far behind the Douluo Federation in this regard.
But this wasn't what shocked Blood Shadow Douluo the most. What truly astonished him was that with the appearance of the four-word battle armor, an aura no less powerful than that of a Quasi-God rose from Soul Suppression Douluo!
Blood Shadow Douluo's pupils contracted violently, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
He stared fixedly at the dark red four-word battle armor and Soul Suppression Douluo himself, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty, but no sound came out.
A Limit Douluo?
Had he been hiding his strength all along? Even when fighting him, the other party had continued to conceal his true power?
The Ghost Emperor's intervention had instead become his death sentence?!
"I had planned to send you off in a quieter manner, but it seems that won't be possible now."
Soul Suppression Douluo's voice was indifferent as he slowly raised his right hand. The once azure sea was instantly dyed a dark red, and the seawater within a thousand-meter radius began to boil eerily, bubbling with countless blood-colored froths.
Faced with an attack far surpassing the previous ones, Blood Shadow Douluo could only brace himself and curse inwardly.
He was done for. This old fox... a Limit Douluo still disguising his cultivation? Where was your pride as a strongman? Don't you feel any shame?
The joys and sorrows of people are not interconnected. While Blood Shadow Douluo was suffering a brutal beating due to the vast difference in strength, Amorous Douluo watched expressionlessly as a person appeared before him without warning, his expression extremely grave.
Quasi-God Limit…
