Douluo Continent: Breaking the Million-Year Barrier, the Golden Ranking Exposes Me

Chapter 97 The Gluttonous Devourer, Death Burns the Heavens

Heavenly Arena.

Zhongli Wu and Xuanzi stood on the left and right sides, respectively.

The pressure from the two level 98 Super Douluo collided violently in the center of the arena, like invisible giant waves.

It stirred up golden ripples in the space, which spread in all directions.

Below on the continent, countless Soul Masters eagerly awaited their arrival.

Shrek Academy, inside the Poseidon Pavilion.

Moon frowned, his fingertips tapping lightly on the armrest.

The Body Sect's Poison Undying put away his playful grin and stared intently at the sky.

Everyone understood that this duel was not just a life-or-death battle between two Super Douluo.

It is also about the dignity of humanity's top combat power, and the true intentions of the mysterious force behind the Golden List.

"Xuanzi, you old glutton, today is your death day!"

Zhongliwu was surrounded by swirling black mist.

His scarlet eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The phantom of the Death God Puppet slowly emerged behind him, towering a hundred feet tall, clad in jet-black armor, with ghostly purple flames burning at its joints.

He held a massive scythe of death in his hand, its cold, chilling gleam emanating from it.

Xuanzi laughed loudly, his voice booming like a bell, causing the arena to tremble slightly: "Zhongli Wu, you heretic, how dare you spout such nonsense! My Gluttonous Divine Ox is just missing a feast of evil soul masters!"

Before he finished speaking, his soul power erupted.

A yellow soul light shot into the sky, and a phantom of a gluttonous bull, also a hundred feet tall, appeared behind him.

The divine ox is dark gold in color, with the body of a sheep, horns of an ox, teeth of a tiger, and claws of a human.

A pair of large, copper-bell-shaped eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his body was surrounded by dense earth-attribute energy.

"First Soul Skill: Death Blade!"

Zhongli Wu made the first move, waving his left hand.

Countless black wind blades condensed and shot towards Xuanzi like a torrential rain.

The wind blade contains the ultimate cutting and devouring power.

Wherever it passed, it carved out tiny cracks in the space.

Xuanzi's eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, he advanced.

"Second Soul Skill: Mountain-Shaking Power!"

The Taotie Divine Ox roared, its four limbs stomping the ground as it charged towards the wind blade with immense force.

Its dark gold body was covered by a thick layer of earth-attribute energy shield.

Zhongliwu's attack struck it, producing a loud "clanging" sound.

However, it could only leave shallow white marks, unable to break through the defense at all.

"Second Soul Skill: Blood Soul Flame!"

Zhongli Wu's expression remained unchanged. He raised his right hand and spat out countless burning fireballs, which crashed towards Xuanzi like falling meteors.

Where the fireball landed, it instantly erupted into a raging inferno, engulfing the entire arena in flames.

Xuanzi was not to be outdone and unleashed a powerful attack as well.

"boom!"

The two attacks collided, producing a deafening roar.

The ancient runes on the arena were activated, emitting a golden light.

Only then was the destructive force barely contained within the arena, preventing it from affecting the continent below.

The smoke cleared.

Xuanzi's figure remained standing in the same spot. Although the Earth Shield had some cracks, it was still intact.

Zhongli Wu's flames also dissipated, clearly indicating that the two were evenly matched in this clash.

"Interesting, Xuanzi, your defense is indeed as good as it sounds."

Zhongli Wu sneered.

"However, your luck won't be so good from now on!"

"The seventh soul skill: Martial Soul True Body!"

The phantom of the Death God puppet behind him suddenly swelled and instantly merged with him.

Zhongli Wu's figure grew to a height of a hundred feet, clad in jet-black armor.
The scythe in his hand grew even larger, and ghostly purple flames burned around him, emanating a suffocating aura of death.

At this moment, Zhongli Wu was like a true death god descending.
With each breath, he could draw upon the deathly power of heaven and earth. "Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body!"

Xuanzi's eyes burned with fighting spirit, and he unleashed his Martial Soul True Form without hesitation.

His body also swelled, merging with the phantom of the Taotie Divine Ox behind him.

The earth element energy was even more concentrated on its dark golden body.

His large, copper-bell-sized eyes flashed with a fierce light, exuding an invincible and domineering aura.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two Super Douluo simultaneously unleashed their Martial Soul True Forms, instantly transforming the aura on the arena into something incredibly terrifying.

The black power of death and the yellow earth elemental energy collided violently in the center of the arena, forming a huge energy barrier.

The entire arena was divided in two.

On the continent below, countless Soul Masters felt this terrifying aura and couldn't help but tremble.

They all retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

"Xuanzi, prepare to die!"

Eighth Soul Skill: Death Scythe!

Zhongli Wu roared and swung his Death Scythe fiercely.

A long, dark purple blade of light, hundreds of feet long, condensed and slashed towards Xuanzi with earth-shattering power.

The blade's edge contained an extreme evil power.

Wherever it passed, space was torn apart.

A pitch-black spatial rift was revealed.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Gluttonous Bite!"

Xuanzi was not to be outdone, and opened his blood-red maw.

A massive beam of dark golden energy condensed and shot towards the dark purple blade light.

The energy beam contained powerful devouring and destructive forces, colliding with the blade's edge.

"boom!"

This collision was more violent than any of the previous ones.

The purplish-purple blade light and the dark golden energy beams clashed and intertwined violently in the center of the arena.

"Boom boom boom!"

The violent energy spread in all directions, and the ancient runes on the arena were fully activated, emitting a dazzling golden light.

A massive energy shield was formed, confining the destructive force within the arena.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

The entire arena was shrouded in chaos.

Everyone on the mainland below held their breath, staring intently at the sky.

I want to know the outcome of this collision.

A moment later, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Xuanzi staggered backward, and huge cracks appeared on his dark gold armor.

Blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he was seriously injured.

Zhongli Wu was also in bad shape; his black armor was damaged, and his breathing was somewhat disordered.

But compared to Xuanzi, he is clearly much better.

"Xuanzi, you're not going to make it!"

Zhongli Wu sneered, a cruel glint in his eyes, "Ninth Soul Skill: Death Needle!"

Countless needle-like streaks of dark purple energy condensed and shot towards Xuanzi like a torrential rain.

These death needles contain the ultimate power of death; once they pierce the body, they will instantly corrode the internal organs and sever the life force.

Xuanzi's face was pale.

The soul power within his body had been mostly depleted, and his defenses had also developed weaknesses.

Faced with the dense barrage of death needles, a flicker of despair crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a burning fighting spirit: "Ninth Soul Skill: Devouring Heaven and Earth!"

He roared.

His ninth 100,000-year soul ring lit up.
