Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 607 Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Happiness, Love, Hatred, and Dislike: Let Me See Your Self-Created Emotion-Based Soul Skills (Two-in-One)

"boom--"

In an instant, a powerful shockwave transformed into a tangible sphere of destruction, crushing and disintegrating everything in its path!
The ultimate goal is Chenjun Pavilion.

"These guys!"

At this moment, even Chen Junting's eyes widened. His sword intent and aura surged instantly, and then…

"The Sword God has no self!"

"Swordsmanship - Junting!"

A gigantic phantom, bearing the exact same face as Chen Junting, stood wielding a sword. Facing the oncoming sphere of destructive light, it didn't hesitate for a moment, slashing down with its sword at the center!

At that very moment, a golden light shield lit up around the arena, instantly enveloping everything inside.

But right now, nobody cares about that.

While Chen Junting unleashed his sword strike at Bei Bei and the others' combined attack, Xiao Xiao and the others launched attacks from Chen Junting's left, right, and even above and behind. Only Gu Tianchen focused the vast majority of his attention on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, even setting up a defensive stance. As for the rest…

With a sliver of his attention, "Bone Prison" was poised to strike.

"The phoenix has nine chicks, which reside in the Nine Cauldrons. The cauldrons govern the three lives, and the phoenix cleanses and vanquishes evil." A nine-colored cauldron inscribed with the nine chicks of the phoenix pressed down on the sky like a mountain, and came upside down towards Chao Chenjun Pavilion!

"cut!"

Ji Juechen was sparing with words, but he unleashed a single sword strike! This strike was a fusion of his essence, energy, and spirit, representing his peak.

Similarly, He Caitou seemed to be encased in steel, guided by Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection. He stood still, and a barrage of free soul-guided projectiles rained down upon him!

Behind Chen Junting, a ten-headed Azure Phosphorous Serpent King quietly poked its head out. Under the brilliance of its eighth spirit ring, beams of emerald light condensed from its ten serpent snouts.

Then, "Eighth Soul Skill - Azure Phosphorescent Light!"

Ten beams of highly poisonous light merged into one and shot out!

In an instant, the terrifying sword intent descended completely, shattering the combined attack of the four. The powerful recoil caused Bei Bei and the other three to cough up blood, fall from their Martial Soul True Body state, and become weak. An irresistible and enormous energy suddenly made them spin around, carrying them around rapidly for a full rotation. They didn't even have a chance to react before they were thrown out.

At that very moment, a domineering yet utterly cold voice rang out from Chen Junting's mouth, "I alone am supreme!"

A terrifying aura emanated, like a black hole, with all energy converging towards Chen Junting. Apart from He Caitou's soul-guided cannonballs and Ji Juechen's sword strike, Dugu Xin's Azure Phosphorus Divine Light instantly disintegrated, and even Xiao Xiao's self-inherent martial soul fusion skill "Nine Phoenix Soul-Suppressing Cauldron" lost its luster.

Immediately afterwards, "Heaven and earth fell silent!"

A chilling, deathly aura spread out as if it were tangible, enveloping the entire arena. Faced with this aura, apart from Huo Yuhao, who had already activated his Martial Soul Fusion Technique and, along with Wang Dong'er, resisted with their powerful mental strength, everyone else felt as if struck by a heavy hammer. They couldn't help but feel a tremor from the depths of their souls, their movements faltered, and even their mental and physical energy completely weakened. The remaining attacks were naturally easily dismantled by two sword strikes.

"It's now!"

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er did not hesitate. Having already activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they focused their gaze forward with only one huge blue-gold eye, and then a beam of light shot out.

Just in time, it enveloped Chenjun Pavilion.

In an instant, a golden statue appeared before us.

However, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er were not careless at all.

The two swiftly switched their Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and the "Heavenly Emperor's Hammer" appeared out of thin air. A sonic boom caused by terrifying power resounded in the air, turning everything into a vacuum, and tearing and trembling the space itself. The sharp protrusions on both sides of the hammerhead emitted a bright emerald green light, the hammerhead itself shone with a dark golden light, and the handle was ice white. These three auras erupted and then instantly turned blood red.

At this moment, the eight illusory giant swords of "Majestic Across the Land", which had already experienced the collision of the combined attack skills of "Sword Dao Jun Ting" and Bei Bei, could no longer withstand it and shattered directly!

"Crack—, Boom—"

Just then, the attack landed completely.

"when--"

Just as the "Heavenly Emperor's Hammer" crashed down like a small mountain, an extremely cold temperature spread from under the hammerhead.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao realized that something was wrong.

Not successful!
However, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill has already disintegrated. Without the means to recover and having already incurred significant losses, even Huo Yuhao, who already possesses a Soul Core, is unable to recover in time.

The reason he broke through to the title level was because he directly increased his cultivation level through the divine test, rather than by condensing a second soul core.

Therefore, it is no longer possible to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

So now all we can do is…

"Seventh Soul Skill - Spirit Eye True Form!"

With a low shout, a pair of enormous phantom spirit eyes appeared behind him and quickly merged into his body. But at that moment, Huo Yuhao's aura rapidly changed.

His eyes instantly turned an eerie gray-red, and an indescribable aura emanated from him. This wasn't any of his existing soul skills, but rather a more primal and profound fluctuation of power. Or rather, it was emotion!

In an instant, a streak of light emerged from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. When its appearance was clearly seen, it was none other than the Evil Eye Tyrant.

At this time,

"Leading clouds press down overhead, making the daytime seem dark; muffled drums and deep thunder rumble across the ground."

Boiling blood boils and stagnates, a rain of ten thousand arrows becomes nails.

The sky seemed to darken instantly, and a muffled rumble of thunder sounded. My hateful thoughts turned into thousands of raindrops, raining down like arrows!

In reality, however, this is merely a mental illusion.

The moment Huo Yuhao unleashed this move with all his might using the Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Spirit, Chen Junting, who was in the "Sword God Selflessness" state, showed a hint of surprise for the first time in his usually calm eyes. He sensed a strange spiritual power that didn't directly impact his consciousness, but rather seeped in silently like spring rain, stirring the emotions deep within him.

This force is not violent, yet it possesses an irresistible infectiousness. It is not an illusion, but it is more real than any illusion because it works directly on the mind.

And it is precisely this point that...
"break!"

The moment the word was uttered, his mind and spirit launched a counterattack!

"puff--"

Huo Yuhao was immediately affected. The emotional field he tried to create was forcibly dispersed by this mental force. Under the backlash of his mental power, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned ashen.

Even the spirit "Evil Eye Tyrant" immediately became weak.

"Yuhao!" Wang Dong'er exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

He rushed forward and supported his swaying body.

"Cough cough..."

Huo Yuhao coughed violently a few times and shook his head slightly.

He indicated that he was alright.

But now, the entire arena is a mess.

Ma Xiaotao, Wu Feng, Ye Guyi, and Bei Bei were all seriously injured. He Caitou, Xiao Xiao, Dugu Xin, and Ji Juechen were also mostly overdrawn in their soul power. Only Gu Tianchen was in slightly better condition because his main task was to protect Huo Yuhao and the others.

But the incense stick had only burned for less than five-sixths of its length. They were still a little short of their half-hour goal, but judging from the current situation, they were clearly no longer able to fight.

"We... lost."

Beibei said bitterly, even though she had already expected the outcome. But when it really didn't work out, she was still unwilling to accept it.

However, regardless of the circumstances, even with all eleven of them working together and using all their trump cards, they couldn't even withstand Chen Chenjunting at half his strength. Even though he was already familiar with them.

However, after many years of experience, how can we judge someone based on what they were back then?

For a moment, everyone fell silent, feeling a sense of defeat. If Brother Junting (Junting/Swordman/Old Chen) was already so powerful, then when would it truly be the turn of that Sea God Douluo to make a move?

How should they respond?
Just as everyone was lost in thought, "You've lost."

Everyone looked up, their eyes filled with confusion.

Of course they know that, does it really need to be emphasized?

However, Chen Junting continued, "What? You can't accept this result? Don't forget, you came to me for training precisely because you lacked confidence in lasting half an hour against that high priest. Now that you've managed to hold out for nearly five-sixths of the time from the start, aren't you satisfied? Besides, your tactics were excellent, but I countered them. Otherwise, you could indeed have lasted half an hour."

"It's not about whether you can control yourself or not."

Upon hearing this, everyone was about to speak, but Wu Feng suddenly interrupted, "A loss is a loss. Besides, our tactics might not even work against that Sea God Douluo. Who knows if that Sea God Douluo has a way to counter this tactic?"

These words made everyone, including Chen Junting, look at Wu Feng with new respect and even feel surprised!
Like Chen Junting, who now looks at Wu Feng as if he were an alien. He even has only one thought:
Is this still Wu Feng? He's suddenly become so clever!
But the very next second, "What are you thinking?!"

Wu Feng suddenly roared, his expression slightly hostile.

She knows Chen Junting very well!
"Are you looking down on me?!"

"No."

Chen Junting, having broken free of the "Sword God Selflessness" state, vehemently denied it, but given Wu Feng's temperament, he still confirmed it.

Hmm—it's still her.

At this moment, Wu Feng immediately confirmed it with Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, am I right?"

"Sister Xiaofeng is right."

Wu Feng's statement naturally coincided with Huo Yuhao's.

Huo Yuhao stood up and said to Chen Junting, "Brother Junting, it's not that we lack confidence. Have you ever seen someone who lacks confidence sit there so calmly and act as if they don't care?"

"Actually, we were just contemplating."

How can I make it work next time?
That's not bad.

Chen Junting nodded secretly, clearly quite satisfied.

However, as Chen Junting's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, it finally settled on Huo Yuhao. His eyes were no longer as calm as before, but held a hint of excitement, as if he had discovered a precious gem that had already taken shape.

“Yuhao, what you just used wasn’t an ordinary mental soul skill; it involved emotions, right?” At this moment, Chen Junting spoke, his voice still calm, yet carrying an undeniable certainty. “Moreover, it was activated using a soul spirit.”

"you made it?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, a mix of excitement and smugness creeping over him. After all, among everyone else, who could have achieved what he had?
Perhaps Brother Junting is capable.

After a brief respite, they said, "Yes, it worked."

If it doesn't work, he won't use it.

"Very good." Chen Junting revealed a hint of appreciation. "Emotions are one of the most powerful forces in the world. Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hatred, and despair—you're on the right track. That was 'hatred' just now, wasn't it?"

Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't deny it and admitted it.

So Chen Junting asked again, "Besides 'Hatred,' have you created other soul skills of different emotion types?"

"Of course there is."

It was created and perfected, but never put to use.

"very good."

Suddenly, Chen Junting changed the subject, his gaze sharpening again: "Since that's the case... Yuhao, show me all your self-created emotional soul skills again, in their entirety. Don't hold back on power, just unleash them to the fullest."

Upon hearing this, the other ten people showed expressions of surprise.

They never expected that Huo Yuhao's self-created soul skill would receive such high regard from Chen Junting! It seems to be quite extraordinary!

Huo Yuhao was also very excited about this.

He hasn't dared to slack off these past few years!

And now, everything is almost done.

If what Brother Junting said can come true... no, it will definitely come true, then I can also have a deity as my backer.

But now...

Huo Yuhao raised his sore arm and looked helplessly at Chen Junting, "Brother Junting, could we do it later?"

The implication is self-evident, but...

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Junting flicked his finger, and a soft emerald green light entered Huo Yuhao's body.

Huo Yuhao felt a cool and pure energy flowing through his limbs and bones, rapidly repairing his injuries. His depleted mental and spiritual power was also recovering at an astonishing speed, as if he were full of vitality and nourishing power.

"This is…"

Huo Yuhao felt the changes within his body.
He's fully recovered!
At this moment, Chen Junting smiled and said, "Then come on. Let me see just how far your emotions can go."

As he spoke, he looked at the other ten people.

"You all need to step back, so you don't get hurt."

Chen Junting's words, though seemingly advice, also carried the implication of dismissing Huo Yuhao. After all, Huo Yuhao was about to unleash his trump card, and it couldn't be exposed without his consent.

Huo Yuhao was smart enough to understand what he meant.

However, his choice resulted in the other ten people staying.

"It's okay, just watch from a distance."

Since the parties involved had made their decision, Chen Junting naturally had no reason to object. So, holding the Seven Kill Sword, he looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly, "Come on, let me see what you're capable of."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible force separated the arena from the collapse, and at the same time, a chilling killing intent burst forth!
Their gazes were immediately focused on Huo Yuhao.
