Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle
Chapter 190 Tuoba hope
The setting sun, like blood, cast long shadows on the bluestone pavement of the north gate.
Lin Yao and his entourage moved slowly along the official road, their procession spreading out in the open field.
Just as the procession was about to reach the north gate, a rapid sound of hooves came from ahead, raising clouds of dust.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of figures rushed out from the woods on both sides of the city gate, quickly forming a formation and surrounding Lin Yao and his group.
The other person, dressed in a dark blue robe, was half a body length behind Tuoba hope. He was Feng Tianlei, the sect leader of the Fengjian Sect.
Behind the two, the disciples of the Holy Dragon Sect and the Wind Sword Sect all exuded their auras, their eyes were fierce, and their martial spirits shone faintly, creating a powerful sense of oppression.
"Tuoba hope..."
When Bai He saw Tuoba hope appear, his pupils suddenly contracted, his heart skipped a beat, and a look of obvious shock appeared on his face.
He had long heard of this Holy Dragon Douluo; the White Armor Earth Dragon Martial Soul was a top-tier dragon-type beast Martial Soul.
Its defenses are as thick as a city wall, its power is immense, and coupled with its recent breakthrough to the Title Douluo realm, its strength is incomparably formidable.
Now the enemy has brought hundreds of Soul Masters to intercept us, plus Feng Tianlei, a Soul Douluo powerhouse.
If war were to break out, even if we were able to put up a fight, the ordinary disciples of the Min clan behind us, who would not have much fighting power, would likely face annihilation.
Thinking of this, Baihe's expression grew even more solemn, and he subconsciously shielded the young clansmen beside him behind him.
Unlike Bai He's shock, Feng Tianlei trembled uncontrollably the moment he saw Lin Yao, his teeth chattering slightly.
His eyes were filled with fear, and he dared not meet Lin Yao's gaze, instinctively taking a half step back.
His fear stemmed not only from Lin Yao's origins in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a powerful sect capable of withstanding the soul-hunting operation of two-digit Title Douluo dispatched by Pope Bibi Dong, but also from Lin Yao's own strength.
At such a young age, his soul power level has already surpassed mine, and his previous battle records on various battlefields are terrifying to the extreme, definitely possessing the combat power of a Title Douluo.
Feng Tianlei felt that he was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Lin Yao, completely vulnerable.
However, Tuoba hope disagreed.
He had just broken through to the Title Douluo level, and was at the peak of his life.
In his view, Lin Yao's achievements were nothing more than exaggerated claims by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as a means to intimidate all sides.
Even if a young boy has great talent and breaks through to the Soul Douluo level early, how strong can he be?
Tuoba hope took a step forward, his soul power suddenly surging outwards. The oppressive aura of a Title Douluo descended like a mountain. He shouted in a deep voice, "Lin Yao! The Star Luo Empire is the territory of the Spirit Hall. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is meddling far too much! The affairs of the Min Clan are none of your business. If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Hehe!" Lin Yao's lips curled into a faint smile, his tone indifferent and without any ripples, as if Tuoba hope's threat was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Hearing Tuoba Xi's provocation, a flash of anger appeared in Yang Wudi's eyes. The Soul-Shattering Spear in his hand trembled slightly, its tip radiating a sharp killing intent, ready to strike at any moment. Long Gong Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang also exchanged a glance, circulating their soul power, preparing for battle. However, at this moment, Lin Yao raised his hand to stop them, saying calmly, "No need to intervene. I can handle him alone."
Seeing Lin Yao's arrogant demeanor, Tuoba hope laughed in fury, his arrogance growing even stronger: "Fine! Very well! Since you're so ignorant, let me teach you what the strength of a Title Douluo truly means!" Before he finished speaking, his spirit rings suddenly appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black! Seven spirit rings were neatly arranged, three of which were ten-thousand-year spirit rings radiating a dense black light, exuding a majestic aura. As his martial soul possessed him, Tuoba Xi's body rapidly grew stronger, his skin covered with a thick layer of dragon scales, his hands transformed into sharp dragon claws, dragon horns sprouted from his head, and his eyes became golden vertical pupils—his martial soul—the White-Armored Earth Dragon!
"Roar!" Tuoba hope let out a deafening dragon roar, his first soul ring lit up, and his figure suddenly turned into a blur as he charged straight at Lin Yao. His dragon claws, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, fiercely grabbed at Lin Yao's head. It was his first soul skill, "Earth Dragon Assault".
The Dragon God and Snake Goddess had great confidence in Lin Yao, so they did not intervene and simply stood there to observe the situation. Yang Wudi had already sensed Lin Yao's unfathomable strength when they fought before, so he simply nodded slightly and did not say anything. Although Bai He had some doubts and was worried that Lin Yao would be no match for Tuoba Xi, he knew that he was the weakest of the four. Since Lin Yao had already spoken, he could only obey orders, stay alert, and prevent the other disciples from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Facing Tuoba Xi's fierce offensive, Lin Yao remained unmoved, standing rooted to the spot. Just as the dragon claw was about to touch his head, he slowly raised his right hand, palm facing Tuoba Xi's claw, and a gentle yet boundless soul force surged forth. With a loud "bang," Tuoba Xi's dragon claw slammed into Lin Yao's palm, the powerful impact causing ripples in the surrounding air and cracks appearing in the ground. However, Lin Yao remained as steady as a mountain, not even moving a step, as if Tuoba Xi's attack was merely a tickle.
Tuoba hope was startled. The immense power emanating from Lin Yao's palm numbed his arm, and an indescribable pressure enveloped him. However, as a newly promoted Title Douluo, his willpower was extremely resilient, and he did not back down. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and his fifth spirit ring suddenly lit up. He let out a roar imbued with spiritual power: "Dragon's Roar!"
This is Tuoba Xi's mental-type soul skill, capable of directly impacting the opponent's mental world with immense power. An invisible mental shockwave swept towards Lin Yao like a tsunami, distorting the surrounding air. Some weaker soul masters even coughed up blood on the spot, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
However, facing this powerful mental attack, Lin Yao merely raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. His mental power, constantly strengthened by the numerous clones of the Star Palace, had already reached a terrifying level, far surpassing ordinary Title Douluos. Just as the mental shockwave was about to touch him, Lin Yao's mental power suddenly erupted, forming an invisible barrier that firmly blocked Tuoba Xi's mental attack. Immediately afterward, the barrier rebounded sharply, sending the mental power back to Tuoba hope intact.
"Ah!" Tuoba hope let out a shrill scream. His mental energy was backfired, and his mind felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. The pain was unbearable, and he staggered back several steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He never imagined that his proud mental-type soul skill would be so easily broken by Lin Yao, and that he would even suffer a backlash from it.
Feng Tianlei watched in terror. He knew that if he didn't act soon, Tuoba Xi would likely be defeated. Although he was extremely afraid of Lin Yao, there was no turning back now. Feng Tianlei gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint in his eyes, and shouted, "Everyone, listen to my command! Attack together! Take down Lin Yao!" As he spoke, the spirit rings within his body lit up—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—five spirit rings swirling around his body. The longsword in his hand glowed with a rich azure spirit power as he thrust it towards Lin Yao.
The disciples of the Holy Dragon Sect and Wind Sword Sect behind him also reacted, summoning their martial souls one after another. Their soul rings flashed, and various soul skills were ready, as they wanted to swarm and besiege Lin Yao.
Seeing this, Yang Wudi, Long Gong She Po, Bai He, and the others immediately tensed up, channeling their soul power in preparation to support Lin Yao. However, at that moment, Lin Yao waved his hand, signaling them to stop. Although filled with doubt, the three of them, trusting Lin Yao, halted their actions and continued to observe the situation.
Meanwhile, Lin Yao's expression remained calm and unwavering, as if the hundreds of Soul Masters before him were nothing more than chickens and dogs. His fifth Soul Ring suddenly lit up—a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring radiating a dense black light. As the Soul Ring lit up, the surrounding air instantly became humid, countless tiny water droplets condensing from the air to form a massive water curtain in front of him. The water curtain grew larger and thicker, radiating boundless water-attribute Soul Power. A powerful domain force spread out from the water curtain, instantly enveloping Tuoba hope, Feng Tianlei, and all the Soul Masters behind them.
"Azure Realm!" Lin Yao called out softly, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Under the influence of the Azure Domain, Tuoba hope, Feng Tianlei, and the others immediately felt an immense pressure, as if they were enveloped by a giant wave in the deep sea. They struggled to breathe, their limbs felt heavy, and every step seemed to require tremendous effort. Water-attribute soul power acted like countless invisible chains, binding them tightly, making even the flow of their soul power sluggish. Some weaker soul masters were even directly crushed to the ground by this immense pressure, unable to move, their faces filled with pain.
Tuoba Xi felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the Azure Realm, and alarm bells rang in his mind. He knew that if he didn't find a way to break free, he and his companions would likely be completely suppressed by the power of this realm, becoming lambs to the slaughter. A resolute glint flashed in Tuoba Xi's eyes, and he let out a dragon's roar. His seventh soul ring suddenly lit up, and his soul power surged wildly: "Martial Soul True Body! White Armor Earth Dragon!"
As his seventh spirit ring lit up, Tuoba Xi's figure swelled once more, transforming into a gigantic white-armored earth dragon tens of meters long. Its thick scales gleamed with a metallic sheen, and its claws were incredibly sharp, containing world-destroying power. He wanted to use the immense power of his Martial Soul True Body to break free from the shackles of the Azure Realm. Simultaneously, Tuoba hope channeled his powerful earth-attribute spirit power, injecting it fiercely into the ground, attempting to cause the earth to crack and disrupt the structure of the Azure Realm.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The ground trembled violently, and huge cracks spread outwards, sending debris flying and dust billowing. However, all of this was in vain. Lin Yao's Azure Domain contained terrifying water elemental power. Water overcomes earth, and Tuoba Xi's earth elemental power was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun before the Azure Domain, instantly suppressed. No matter how he struggled or how he drew upon the power of the earth, he could not shake the Azure Domain in the slightest. On the contrary, due to excessive consumption of soul power, his aura became increasingly chaotic.
Feng Tianlei and the others were in an even more precarious situation. Under the oppression of the Azure Realm, even standing became extremely difficult, let alone launching an attack. They could only watch helplessly as their soul power was constantly depleted and their bodies were continuously suppressed, their hearts filled with despair. Only now did they truly feel the terrifying power of Lin Yao, and understand that the previous legends about Lin Yao were not exaggerations. While the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was able to withstand the offensive of the Spirit Hall represented by Pope Bibi Dong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School certainly had the support of two peak Douluo, Sword Dao Chen Xin and Gu Rong, as well as the Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, Lin Yao, this peerless genius, clearly played a crucial role. Indeed, a great reputation is well-deserved!
In his desperate situation, Tuoba Xi's eyes gradually dimmed. He knew he had been utterly defeated; further resistance would be futile, and might even cost him his life. Although he had always been loyal to Bibi Dong, in the face of death, loyalty became insignificant. Tuoba Xi slowly retracted his Martial Soul True Body, returning to his original form. He looked at Lin Yao, the arrogance on his face gone, replaced by deep awe and resentment. He spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse: "I...I surrender."
Seeing this, Feng Tianlei completely gave up resisting. He knew that discretion was the better part of valor, and that continuing to resist would only lead to his utter destruction. Feng Tianlei threw away his longsword, cupped his hands to Lin Yao, and said, "Young Master Lin's strength is extraordinary; I, Feng Tianlei, am convinced."
Lin Yao glanced at the two pragmatic individuals before him, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He knew that the conflict between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall would inevitably erupt sooner or later, requiring a significant amount of manpower. Tuoba Xi was a Title Douluo, and Feng Tianlei was a Soul Douluo; both also had numerous disciples from the Holy Dragon School and the Wind Sword School behind them. If he could subdue them, they would undoubtedly become a great asset. There was no need to completely eliminate them; after all, having one more friend was always better than having one more enemy.
Thinking of this, Lin Yao's seventh soul ring suddenly lit up. It was a soul ring that emitted a strange purple light and contained the power of rules and cause and effect. "Dark Heart Tribulation!" Lin Yao whispered, and an invisible spiritual power surged out from his body, splitting into two streams that drilled into the minds of Tuoba hope and Feng Tianlei respectively.
This Dark Heart Tribulation is a rule-based mental soul skill that also incorporates the power of causality, capable of imprinting a mark deep within the opponent's mind. Once the mark is placed, the opponent's life and death are in Lin Yao's hands. With just a thought from Lin Yao, or if the opponent has any thought of resistance, they will suffer unbearable pain, a fate worse than death.
Tuoba hope and Feng Tianlei felt a sharp pain in their minds, followed by an invisible force taking root deep within their spirits. They could clearly feel that their lives were now inextricably linked with Lin Yao's. Their faces were pale, their eyes filled with fear, yet they dared not utter a single thought of resistance.
Meanwhile, Lin Yao manipulated the Azure Realm, enveloping Tuoba hope and Feng Tianlei in a separate space, isolating them from outside view. Therefore, apart from the three of them, no one else knew what had happened; they only saw Tuoba Xi and Feng Tianlei suddenly stop resisting, looking at Lin Yao with complex expressions. To the disciples of the Holy Dragon Sect, the Wind Sword Sect, and the Min and Po clans, it seemed Lin Yao had spared Tuoba Xi and Feng Tianlei because he didn't want to completely sever ties with the Spirit Hall. Yang Wudi, Bai He, the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, and others, though puzzled, didn't ask further; they knew Lin Yao must have his reasons for doing so.
"Take your people and leave this place," Lin Yao said calmly.
Tuoba hope and Feng Tianlei nodded hastily, not daring to hesitate for a moment. They turned to their disciples and shouted, "Retreat!"
After saying that, he led everyone away from the North Gate in a hurry. Before leaving, they looked back at Lin Yao, their eyes filled with awe and resentment, yet they dared not speak out.
Watching Tuoba hope and Feng Tianlei's departing figures, Lin Yao slowly withdrew his Azure Domain, and his soul power returned to calm. The sudden ambush ended with Lin Yao subduing two powerful soul master leaders. Yang Wudi, Long Gong She Po, Bai He, and others stepped forward, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Lin Yao.
"Young Master Lin, what excellent skills!" Yang Wudi exclaimed sincerely.
Lin Yao smiled but didn't say anything more.
