Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 264 Ice and Fire Dragon Chief's Crown
……

Xuanming sat up. "If only you had done this sooner, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

If Qian Renxue hadn't been so deeply fixated on her situation yet had no other choice, Qian Daoliu wouldn't have intervened.

If she hadn't forcibly taken him away from the Papal Palace back then, they wouldn't have become such bitter enemies.

Unfortunately, life doesn't offer "what ifs," and they can only continue down this path until the very end.

"Do you think we have absolutely no room for maneuver?" Qian Renxue struggled to sit up, looking at Xuan Ming with a complicated expression.

“It’s not just my opinion, it’s the reality,” Xuanming said.

"Just like how you were never willing to change even the slightest thing in the past, I am now..."

Before he finished speaking, a chilling killing intent suddenly erupted from the forest to the side!
A dark shadow flashed out like a ghost, and the huge Haotian Hammer, carrying the force of world destruction, went straight for Qian Renxue's head!

Xuanming's pupils contracted sharply, and his soul power surged wildly within his body as he forcefully suppressed his injuries.

The black fifth spirit ring transformed into golden light and entered the blood spear. The originally dormant blood spear instantly erupted with a monstrous blood light, and a fierce aura swept in all directions!

He flashed forward and stood in front of Qian Renxue.

The blood spear defied the heavens and clashed head-on with that earth-shattering hammer!
"boom--!!"

The deafening roar of the two weapons colliding echoed through the valley, and the terrifying energy shock spread like a tsunami, shattering the surrounding rocks and sending flying debris raining down like a storm!
Xuanming felt an overwhelming force coming from him, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open, with blood flowing down his arm.

Qian Renxue stared blankly at the back of the figure blocking her way, her eyes filled with shock.

Tang Hao, hidden beneath the black robe, was equally shocked. He had been tracking Xuan Ming for a long time before sensing the fluctuations of divine soul power and rushing over, only to discover a six-winged angel martial soul!
"Tang Hao, you and Qian Daoliu are quite a match, both of you have no shame," Xuan Ming said coldly.

Tang Hao remained silent, and his Killing God Domain suddenly erupted, the materialized killing intent actually suppressing the ferocious aura of the Blood Spear!

The Haotian Hammer was raised again and smashed down with even more terrifying force!

Xuanming no longer held back; except for the sixth soul ring, all his soul rings turned into golden light and disappeared into the blood spear.

The bloodthirsty aura, suppressed by the God of Slaughter's Domain, surged once more, condensing into a ferocious blood dragon at the tip of the spear, roaring towards the sky!

The blood dragon and the giant hammer collided once more, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color.

An even more terrifying energy storm erupted, causing the surrounding mountains to collapse and trees to turn to dust!

Qian Renxue was protected behind the colorless wall, watching helplessly as Xuanming withstood this earth-shattering blow, while she herself was exhausted of her soul power and powerless to help.

"boom!"

As the light faded, half of Xuanming's body was smashed into the ground.

Tang Hao, who was under the black robe, was also knocked back dozens of meters. His old injuries flared up again, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"In just two years, you have grown to this extent." Tang Hao wiped away the bloodstains, his voice low and deep. "If you were given more time, I'm afraid no one in the world would be your match."

"It's a pity you've allied yourself with the Spirit Hall!"

The Killing God Domain intensified once more, a black light flashed, and the Haotian Hammer transformed into a hundred-meter-long giant hammer, blotting out the sky and the sun!

"Haotian's incarnation!"

Xuanming looked at the giant hammer that pressed down on the sky, sighed softly, and put away the blood spear: "You forced me to do this."

A deep blue and crimson light shone from the top of his head, intertwining to form a majestic dragon head crown—the Ice and Fire Dragon Crown.

The moment the crown appeared, space distorted and a dragon's roar shook the heavens!
The right half is filled with deep ice crystals, shrouded in a chilling aura.

The left half of the lava flowed and surged with blazing light.

A pair of dragon horns stand proudly, one of ice and one of fire, exuding ultimate majesty.

"Soul bone?" Tang Hao's expression changed slightly.

This is no ordinary skull, but an imperial crown containing primal power, where the forces of ice and fire are perfectly intertwined, a sight that sends shivers down one's spine.

It exudes a chilling pressure, half of which is an extreme cold capable of freezing the soul, and the other half is an eternal flame capable of burning everything. The two energies are not simply spliced ​​together, but rather form a perfect balance in the process of confrontation and fusion.

The right half is deep ice crystals, shrouded in chilling aura; the left half is lava dragon bones, flowing with blazing light. A pair of dragon horns grow from its forehead, the right horn like an icicle, the left like a burning rock. Extreme majesty, it seems to simultaneously contain the frozen silence and the burning fury.

Ice and Fire Dragon Principality's Crown.

The moment Xuanming opened his eyes, the crown shone brightly, and the power of ice and fire transformed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky! Within the pillar of light, a giant ice and fire dragon slowly emerged, half of its body made of ice crystal and half of lava. Its eyes opened, and a torrent of light, interwoven with ice and fire, rushed toward Haotian's true form!
The moment of impact, the heavens and earth trembled!

Tang Hao's old injury was aggravated again, and he vomited blood profusely.

He was secretly shocked. He hadn't expected Xuanming to possess such terrifying strength. With such a commotion, the titled Douluo of Tiandou City would inevitably be attracted. Not only would he be exposed, but Tang San might also be implicated.

With this thought in mind, Tang Hao endured the pain in his body, once again wielded the Haotian True Body, creating an opening. Then, his figure flashed, transforming into a black lightning bolt, and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.

Xuanming did not pursue—he was also powerless to do so.

The phantom of the dragon vanished into thin air, and the strange and majestic dragon head crown gradually disappeared, the dark blue light and the crimson flames dissipating into the air together.

Qian Renxue finally came to her senses, her eyes filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

Suddenly, Xuanming fell forward. Qian Renxue mustered the last bit of her soul power and caught him in a flash.

"Xuanming?" Qian Renxue looked at Xuanming anxiously, using her limited divine soul power to heal and restore him.

Xuanming covered his head. "I'm fine, just a little dizzy." "But you, someone's coming, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately activated her head soul bone, disguising herself as Xue Qinghe once again, though she looked rather pitiful.

Just as Qian Renxue finished her disguise, several figures rapidly flew over from a distance.

Bibi Dong arrived first, followed closely by Yue Guan Gui Mei.

Gu Rong also arrived with Ning Fengzhi.

"What's going on?" Bibi Dong frowned.

An extremely rich aura of ice and fire, a faint aura of holiness, and a lingering aura of the God of Slaughter's domain?

"We came out to spar, but we were attacked," Xuanming said.

"An attack?" Gu Rong cautiously observed his surroundings.

Who would dare attack you?

"A hammer, I don't know anything else." Xuanming forced himself to sit up.

"Hammer?" Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance.

Tang Hao?

"Let me heal your injuries first." Ning Fengzhi summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, and seven-colored light surged into Xuanming and Xue Qinghe's bodies, quickly restoring their nearly exhausted bodies.

"Hmm?" Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly.

Xuanming's recovery speed was ridiculously fast, and his absorption rate of the energy he injected was also terrifying. Xue Qinghe's soul power circulation was also so fast that even he couldn't see the depth of it...

It seems that his student also has quite a few secrets.

Before long, Xuanming and the other two had recovered considerably from their depleted bodies, and Ning Fengzhi also retrieved the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

"The injury isn't serious, he just needs to rest," Ning Fengzhi said.

"However, why did you suddenly come to a place like this to spar?"

“The scenery here is beautiful,” Xuanming said.

"???"

Everyone was slightly taken aback. They looked around at the desolate landscape and couldn't reconcile this godforsaken place with a beautiful view.

"The scenery was actually quite nice just now," Xuanming said.

"It's just that it's gone now."

Bibi Dong looked around, her gaze returning to Xuan Ming and Xue Qinghe. "For safety's sake, let's go back to Tian Dou City first."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong stepped forward, unleashing a surge of powerful soul energy that enveloped Xuanming and Xue Qinghe. Then, before Ning Fengzhi and the other could say anything, her eight-winged purple wings trembled slightly, carrying the two of them away towards Tiandou City, with Yue Guan Guimei following closely behind.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, and although they were somewhat puzzled, they quickly followed.

"What are you two doing?" Bibi Dong asked.

"It's just a friendly spar," Xuanming said.

"Sparring? You call that a sparring match?" Bibi Dong glared at Xuan Ming.

The damage to that godforsaken place just now could not have been caused by Xuanming and Qianrenxue fighting!
That's the kind of damage that can only be caused by the collision of a Title Douluo-level Martial Soul True Body!
"The fight was already over, but Tang Hao came out again," Xuanming said helplessly.

"When he comes down with his hammer, what can I do? I can only fight him."

Bibi Dong looked at Xue Qinghe, "Where are She Long and the other two? Are they dead?"

"I...didn't let them follow." Xue Qinghe said somewhat guiltily.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath and slapped Xuanming and the other man on the back of the head with each hand.

Xue Qinghe lowered his head, somewhat bewildered.

Xuanming turned around defiantly, "Why did you hit me?"

"What do you think?" Bibi Dong glared at Xuan Ming.

"Tang Hao has lost his mind, he attacked you?"

"Are you doing something behind my back again?"

Xuanming was a little confused, "What did I do? Tang Hao smashed her!"

“Her?” Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback.

"With those bird-like wings on her back and a divine aura floating around her, who else would Tang Hao smash if not her?" Xuan Ming said speechlessly.

"And don't forget, I'm still nominally Tang Hao's brother-in-law."

"She was the matchmaker!"

"..."
