Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Yang Ping'an was also very puzzled at this moment. Logically speaking, Tang Chen's strength was not this level when he fought Tang Chen last time. How could his strength have become so powerful in just half a year, and he has basically reached the limit of a Soul Master?

Logically speaking, Tang Chen's body should have been severely injured, and he still had the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King inside him. How come he seems to be getting better now?

At this moment, Yang Ping'an felt that this battle seemed to reveal a bit of strangeness, as if it was far from his expectations. At least Tang Chen's physical condition seemed a bit off, as if he had fallen into an extremely strange environment.

However, Yang Ping'an couldn't care less about that at the moment; he had to defeat Tang Chen no matter what.

After Yang Ping'an and Tang Chen fought countless times, Yang Ping'an began to gain a slight advantage. Although Tang Chen was powerful, especially with his Clear Sky Hammer which seemed exceptionally agile, he was essentially the culmination of all the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul skills.

Tang Chen did not follow the path of pure strength like Tang Hao. He had basically reached the limit of a Soul Master in terms of strength, and was not much inferior to Yang Ping'an. Yet he was also extremely fast and skillful, no wonder he was known as the number one genius of Douluo Continent in hundreds of years.

With Yang Ping'an and the Golden Dragon attacking from both sides, Tang Chen might be able to keep up in terms of speed and combat awareness, but he seemed to be gradually suppressed in terms of strength. Compared to Tang Chen, Yang Ping'an's soul ring configuration and soul bone configuration were much stronger, especially his fully equipped high-limit soul bones, which even ordinary level one soul bones would have the power to defeat ten thousand men.

Tang Chen shouted loudly, and his body immediately emitted endless red light, like fresh blood. Yang Ping'an felt that his soul skills and soul power were suppressed. He could not use his soul skills, and his soul power seemed to be draining away at an extremely fast speed.

This is Tang Chen's Killing Domain, an evolved version of the Killing God Domain, and can be considered one of the strongest domains in the Douluo Continent.

"How is it? How does my Slaughter Domain feel? Compared to the Slaughter God Domain you obtained, my Slaughter Domain is the strongest domain in the City of Slaughter, and it's also a smaller version of the magic-suppressing effect of the City of Slaughter. The Slaughter Domain is the most domineering domain in the world, and it can suppress the soul skills and domains possessed by everyone in the world."

Yang Ping'an emitted a white light, his entire figure turning blood red – this was the Killing God Domain.

In comparison, the God of Slaughter Domain is indeed much cruder than the Slaughter Domain, and even seems to be completely suppressed by the Slaughter Domain, which seems to be the true domain of gods.

But Yang Ping'an remained calm. The Killing God Domain was the first domain he mastered and the one he used most frequently over a long period of time.

Yang Ping'an thought he knew enough about the God of Slaughter Domain, but now that he was competing with the Slaughter Domain, he realized the real gap between them.

In particular, Tang Chen's Killing Domain seemed to be filled with a bloody aura, which was more advanced than the pure Killing God Domain, and the killing intent was also more intense.

This shows the carnage Tang Chen faced when completing the Nine Trials of Asura, especially how many people he killed and how much Bloody Mary he drank in the City of Slaughter as the King of Slaughter.

But Yang Ping'an refused to believe this. Under the Killing Domain, it was barely possible to use Soul Ring skills by using the Killing God Domain. After all, the Killing God Domain could be used even in the Killing City, and Killing Depression was just a smaller version of the Magic-Suppressing Domain.

The Golden Dragon's eighth spirit ring flashed, and a golden longsword appeared in Yang Ping'an's hand. It was the Golden Dragon Sword, but it seemed relatively dim compared to the previous Golden Dragon Sword. It seemed that the Killing Domain could indeed limit the power of spirit skills.

In terms of domains, Yang Ping'an has now mastered three domains, among which the Golden Dragon Domain and the Dark Domain are definitely no weaker than Tang Chen's Killing Domain.

But at this moment, Yang Ping'an felt a bit rebellious. Since your domain has evolved, so can mine.

Yang Ping'an's eyes were bloodshot, and he stopped using any soul skills. He gripped the Golden Dragon Sword and attacked like a storm, each sword aura seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth.

Especially when the two work together, even if the domain is slightly weaker, their attacks will be even more powerful.

As Yang Ping'an once said, he practiced swordsmanship not for the so-called "way of the sword," but to kill and take revenge. Therefore, he always followed the path of killing rather than the way of the sword.

Even if Tang Chen's Killing Domain could barely gain a slight advantage, it was nothing compared to the difference in strength between the two, especially since their domains originated from the same source. Perhaps the Killing God Domain was the only domain that could impose the fewest restrictions within the Killing Domain.

Tang Chen's fifth spirit ring flashed, revealing the spirit clone he had used before. Instantly, a Clear Sky Hammer appeared in Tang Chen's hand, one in each hand, seemingly doubling his strength and aura.

Especially compared to Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, Tang Chen seems to combine all the advantages of the two, and the two Haotian Hammers have completely different operating methods.

Tang Chen's right-hand Haotian Hammer is characterized by its immense power, emphasizing the principle of overcoming all techniques with sheer force, somewhat similar to Tang Hao. His left-hand Haotian Hammer, on the other hand, focuses on ultimate skill, with each strike seemingly possessing boundless vibrational power, which is precisely the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian.

But Yang Ping'an's attacks became increasingly ferocious, and even the Golden Dragon's eyes turned blood red, seemingly filled with endless killing intent.

Yang Ping'an has always lacked real combat experience, especially against top experts. Although he killed many people in the City of Slaughter, he has killed fewer and fewer people in recent years.

The main reason is that Yang Ping'an's strength has always been far superior to his enemies, and he has an exceptionally stable mentality. He generally won't make a move unless he has absolute certainty of success.

But precisely because of this, they lack the aura to fight against top masters, or the aura to overcome the strong with the weak, and the indomitable fighting spirit.

Although Yang Ping'an has mastered multiple fields, he lacks experience. After all, there are very few people in the entire Douluo world who possess a field of expertise, and compared to those top experts, Yang Ping'an is too young.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an deliberately used only the Killing God Domain, without even using any amplification soul skills, and attacked Tang Chen like a storm.

Tang Chen seemed to understand the danger of the current situation and directly used his sixth soul skill: Haotian Power.

This is a pure power-enhancing soul skill. After using this soul skill, his own strength seems to have increased significantly, and the power of the Clear Sky Hammer has also increased countless times.

Yang Ping'an's sword strikes were more powerful than the last, and all the sword energy seemed to condense together to form a huge "kill" character. In the end, nine "kill" characters appeared in succession, and all the "kill" characters condensed together to form a giant sword that could support the sky. This was his self-created soul skill, Heaven Slayer.

Tang Chen seemed to smile slightly: "This is quite interesting. It's actually the Seven Kill Sword Technique. It's rare for a beast soul like you to have mastered the Seven Kill Sword Technique to this level. It's a pity that you've forgotten that my Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer is the number one weapon spirit in the world."

As Tang Chen finished speaking, the two Haotian Hammers in his hands actually cooperated with each other, and there was a faint combined attack power. They actually formed a huge tornado, and a black dragon seemed to fly out from the tornado, as if it could shake the heavens and the earth.

Yang Ping'an, who had been somewhat enraged, seemed to be stunned for a moment. This should be the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Haotian Sect, and it had even brought the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to its extreme. In particular, it could even use two Haotian Hammers to perform the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. It seemed that it could alleviate the disadvantage of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique's charging time to a certain extent.

However, Yang Ping'an's Heaven-Slaying Sword seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and it was as if a giant golden sword had descended from the sky, swaying precariously in opposition to Tang Chen's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

After this attack, Yang Ping'an was forced back several meters, as if he had been hit by a tremendous force. Although he was not injured, it was enough to show the power of this move.

Tang Chen on the other side seemed to be in a more difficult position, actually retreating dozens of meters. Although he remained defiant in his words, his strength did show a slight decline.

At this moment, Tang Chen seemed to understand the gap between the two. Although Tang Chen's martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, he was extremely fast and had agile reactions. He could be said to be the ultimate in both strong and agile attacks. However, in every aspect, he seemed to be somewhat suppressed by Yang Ping'an.

As for his only advantage, the killing domain, Yang Ping'an on the other side seemed completely unconcerned about this gap, instead rising to the challenge as if he were deliberately honing his domain.

Especially as the battle progressed, the golden longsword in Yang Ping'an's hand seemed to gradually turn blood red, and even the golden dragon began to be shrouded in a blood-red hue.

Compared to Yang Ping'an, Tang Chen understood the changes much better. This was a trend of the domain evolving rapidly. If Yang Ping'an's God of Slaughter Domain were to evolve into a Slaughter Domain, who in this world could possibly do anything to him?

Tang Chen gritted his teeth and used his seventh soul skill, Weapon Soul True Body. He instantly transformed into a huge blood-red figure, and the two Clear Sky Hammers in his hands seemed to grow several times larger. Even Tang Chen's killing domain became much stronger under the Weapon Soul True Body.

However, Yang Ping'an did not use his Martial Soul True Body. Facing Tang Chen, who was like a giant, especially with the Clear Sky Hammer whose power had increased several times, he simply attacked with all his might, appearing extremely arrogant.

In particular, the golden dragon seemed to let out a huge dragon roar, completely unafraid of the power of the Clear Sky Hammer, and its huge dragon tail seemed capable of destroying the world.

Yang Ping'an gripped the Golden Dragon Sword and slashed with all his might. The Golden Dragon Sword and the huge Haotian Hammer collided instantly. He felt as if endless penetrating power was coming from the Haotian Hammer, as if it was about to strike his body through the Haotian Hammer.

This is the "Penetration" technique from the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian. Yang Ping'an felt as if a tremendous force was coming from his body, and this person was knocked back dozens of meters. As expected of Tang Chen's weapon spirit true body, it is indeed powerful.

Meanwhile, Tang Chen's other Haotian Hammer struck the golden dragon heavily on its tail, causing the entire golden dragon's body to tremble and its form to be forced back dozens of meters. This was the "Zhen" technique from the Haotian Nine Absolutes.

But at this moment, with Yang Ping'an's continuous attacks, the Golden Dragon Sword seemed to change. The entire sword body suddenly appeared as if it were filled with blood, and the Killing God Domain, which was originally white, gradually began to show a trace of blood color, eventually turning red.

Yang Ping'an felt that his entire demeanor had changed at this moment. His killing intent suddenly became extremely strong, as if he wanted to kill the enemy and tear him to pieces, as if he had returned to the carnage of the city.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an's Killing God Domain finally completed its evolution, seemingly as bright as a sky full of snow.

However, since Yang Ping'an's mental strength had already reached the god level, his evolved domain seemed to be stronger than Tang Chen's, and could even suppress Tang Chen's killing domain.

Especially Yang Ping'an, who at this moment resembled an Asura, seemed to have reached the pinnacle of the Soul Master world in terms of killing intent. This shouldn't be a pure killing domain, but rather an Asura domain, since Yang Ping'an was now extremely close to becoming a god. (End of Chapter)
