Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 369 Fierce Battle in the Imperial Palace

In the original work, the Serpent Spear, relying on its overwhelming soul power level, could only gain a slight advantage in the battle against Yang Wudi, who was at level 82.

Now that the roles of those who suppress each other by their soul power level have been reversed, Yang Wudi is not just suppressing the Serpent Spear Douluo, he is simply utterly dominating him.

However, the Serpent Spear Douluo fought desperately, and Yang Wudi couldn't defeat him for the time being.

"Old She, don't panic, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing this, the Porcupine Douluo was about to step forward to help when a stream of foul-smelling venom splattered across his body and onto the rare flowers and plants in the garden, instantly corroding a patch of ground.

"That won't do, little hog."

Dugu Bo extended his index finger and shook it, saying:

"There are two of us on each side, so this is a fair one-on-one fight. You want to help? Do you think I'm invisible?"

"I've long heard that there's a martial spirit in the world of soul masters called the porcupine, which is specifically designed to counter poison and is the nemesis of all poison soul masters."

"Today I'll see if your porcupine spirit can suppress the deadly venom of my Azure Phosphorous Serpent King!"

Before making his boastful statement, Dugu Bo specifically asked Lin Rong for a drop of the essence of the Snow Swan Kiss. ​​He stored it separately in a soul tool so that he could use it at any time should his poison be no match for the Porcupine Spirit.

However, Dugu Bo probably wouldn't need the essence of the Snow Swan Kiss. ​​He was at least level 97. Although he had only broken through for less than half a year, level 97 was level 97. It wasn't something that the level 94 soul power of the Porcupine Douluo could use to fool him.

Even with the suppression of a Title Douluo's level three soul power, and two of them being level ninety-five, the pufferfish martial soul, no matter how much it counters poison soul masters, will ultimately have an upper limit.

The suppression of soul power by a level 97 person against a level 94 person is enough to break this upper limit.

That drop of the essence of the snow-white swan's kiss was merely a precautionary measure that Dugu Bo had prepared for this operation.

In an instant, the garden was divided into two battlefields:

Yang Wudi VS Serpent Spear.

Dugu Bo VS. Porcupinefish

All four used their Martial Soul True Forms, and the huge commotion of the battle unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the palace guards.

When such an incident occurred in the garden next to the Emperor's palace, the guards naturally rushed there immediately.

These guards obey only Xue Qinghe's orders, and each guard is a member of the Spirit Hall who has been placed by Xue Qinghe over the years using the power held by the Crown Prince.

"Hehe, battles at the Title Douluo level are not something you can interfere with. It would be best if you all stayed away."

The Bone Douluo Ancient Banyan Tree appeared in mid-air above the palace at some unknown time. An invisible spatial barrier unfolded, covering the emperor's bedroom and the garden where the battle had taken place, keeping all the guards outside the barrier.

Having stopped the rebels, Gu Rong looked up at a certain spot.

In that direction, a golden swan-shaped firework burst into the sky.

Jin Wen, who had been promoted to Grand Master of the Royal Knights, led the entire force of 50,000 knights at full speed toward the army of Tian Dou City.

Jin Wen had long been loyal to Lin Rong, and now he was leading a large army to occupy Tiandou City. He had a legitimate reason for doing so, and naturally, he was using the pretext of "purging the court of corrupt officials".

Anyone who dares to defy orders in Tiandou City will be executed by the Royal Knights.

……

boom!
The closed palace gates were smashed open by a figure, who flew through the air for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

"Damn, where did this woman get such strength?" Tang San coughed a few times and casually wiped the blood from his mouth.

Inside the open palace gates, Qian Renxue, now a woman, slowly flew out of her bedchamber, her six angel wings trembling. Because the divine artifact, the Angelic Holy Sword, had been left to Qian Daoliu, she held the Angelic Sword that came with her six-winged angelic martial soul.

The six-winged angel fell into darkness, and the angel's sword also transformed from crimson gold to black gold.

"Tang San, hand over the method to increase the age of your spirit rings, and perhaps this young master will take pity on you and spare your dog's life!"

"If you hand over everything from the Tang Sect, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give you a minor official position in the Spirit Hall."

In her true angelic form, Qian Renxue possesses an otherworldly beauty, like a pure fairy fallen to earth. Her beauty is breathtaking, captivating all who gaze upon her, leaving them forever lost in her unparalleled charm.

"Delusion! It's almost dawn and you're still dreaming. Is your brain filled with mush?"

Tang San, of course, could not agree to this request.

It wasn't just his nature that was like this; greed also influenced the character of the successor.

What you have in your hands will always be yours, and what is yours to begin with, you would never give up to someone else.

In this timeline, Tang San, without Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, had limited knowledge of Soul Masters and failed to recognize that Qian Renxue's Martial Soul was the Angel Martial Soul, unique to the Qian family lineage of the Spirit Hall.

Even though the six-winged angel fell from light to darkness, the characteristics of the angelic martial soul remained unchanged, and anyone who knew this martial soul could recognize it at a glance.

I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!

A hint of annoyance flashed undisguisedly in Qian Renxue's eyes, and a dark wave spread outwards from her.

Talent Domain: Fallen Angel Domain (Second Stage)!
Domain effect:

Increases all of your attributes by 20%, and suppresses all of the enemy's attributes by 20%.

Within the Fallen Angel's domain, the soul power of any target considered an enemy will be assimilated into the Fallen Angel's soul power.

The domain owner cannot absorb the assimilated soul power of the fallen angels, but can use their own soul power to maintain the domain's soul power consumption. The enemy will not only be unable to use the assimilated soul power, but will also be in absolute darkness, losing all senses and direction.

Compared to the Angelic Realm, the Fallen Angel Realm is an enhanced version of the former.

The original effect of purifying soul power, which was harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, has been transformed into assimilating soul power, allowing one to use the enemy's soul power to maintain the soul power consumption of one's own domain.

Although the enhancement wasn't significant, the Rakshasa God wasn't much stronger than the Angel God to begin with, so this improvement in his innate abilities was already quite substantial for the stingy Rakshasa God.

The Fallen Angel Domain not only covered Tang San, but also the Title Douluo Battlefield not far away.

This field, like the red mist inherent in Xie Yue Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, has the effect of blocking perception and direction, making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

Therefore, the only effects that cover the garden battlefield are attribute amplification and suppression; the effect of shielding perception and direction only applies to Tang San.

With the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo receiving a 20% boost to all their attributes from their talent domains, Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo, on the other hand, had their attributes suppressed by 20%. The battle between the four of them finally became evenly matched.

"Hmph, do you think you're the only one with a domain?"

"It's like everyone has some kind of talent these days!"

Not only the Dark Blue Silver Domain, but also the Greed Domain engraved on the Clear Sky Hammer unfolded simultaneously.

The two talent domains are Dark Blue Silver Domain, which is the second stage, and Greed Domain, which is only the first stage because the Clear Sky Hammer is not equipped with a spirit ring.
