Chapter 1349 - Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier
After Tang Wulin unleashed his Dragon Emperor Avatar, Tong Yu could not gain the upper hand, much to everyone’s surprise. They had not expected this to happen. The two contestants were already clashing at a level beyond Hyper Douluos, even exceptional Hyper Douluos.
The more Tang Wulin fought, the braver he became. His myriad of abilities continued to merge under the effects of his Dragon Emperor Avatar. The pressure that he was put under by the Five Elements Qilin was just right. It was like a furnace in which he was being forged, transforming him continuously.
Free from all inhibitions, he truly no longer had to limit himself!
The Five Elements Qilin’s aura was also strengthening continuously. The powerful enhancement from his Five Elements Cycle domain surprised Tang Wulin, ensuring that Tong Yu had an advantage at all times.
Occasionally, Tang Wulin would be licked by the Five Elements Truefire. Every time this happened, Tang Wulin had no choice but to use his time backtrack domain to deal with it. With prior experience, the Qilin Douluo was able to prepare himself to face his Time Backtrack domain.
His Five Elements Cycle domain was only a supportive spiritual domain. Comparatively speaking, it consumed less of his spiritual power. However, Tang Wulin’s Time Backtrack domain had to distort time. It consumed a great deal of spiritual energy. Therefore, he could not use it too freely.
Thus, he could not gain the upper hand from the beginning until now, despite being in possession of this great weapon.
In no time, wounds started appearing on their bodies. These were made by their sharp claws, tails, and any other way they could attack each other.
At this moment, the difference in their bloodline was starting to show. Tang Wulin’s self-healing abilities were clearly superior to his opponent’s. The Five Elements Qilin’s wounds would also heal by themselves, but it was much slower compared to Tang Wulin’s Dragon Emperor Avatar.
‘Why is Tong Yu so out of it? Or is he trying to hide something?’
When the two opponents started their dogfight, En Ci was already frowning. This was because he was the only one who knew the true extent of Tong Yu’s strength.
His hopes for Tong Yu’s future were too high. Tong Yu had requested to take part in this battle of his own accord. En Ci had also hoped that Tong Yu would be able to display his strength in front of the entire Star Luo Empire and explain his issues clearly. He wished that he could clear his name and allow him to reappear before the public eye.
However, the level of strength Tong Yu was displaying currently was starkly different from what he had expected. In his original plan, this battle should have ended long ago. Tang Wulin should not have been able to hold out for such a long time.
That was right. Indeed, the Tang Sect’s Sect Master was displaying his incredible strength, but compared to Tong Yu, it should not have been enough. After all, they were not of the same rank!
‘Tong Yu, what are you playing at? Are you trying to conceal your strength right now?’
If he had wanted to amaze the audience with a sudden burst of explosive power, he would have done so long ago. However, why did it seem like Tang Wulin was slowly closing the gap and showing signs of gaining the upper hand?
This battle had left the audience dumbfounded. Without a doubt, this was the greatest soul master battle ever! Who would have thought that such a fight would take place before the eyes of the common public? The tickets were well worth the price, as expected of the Battle of Five Gods!
“Boom!” The Five Elements Qilin’s body burned brightly and sent the Dragon Emperor behind him flying. However, the Dragon Emperor had also left a deep scratch on his back.
The Five Elements Qilian’s body flickered as he swiveled and shot out Five Elements Truefire from his mouth. It formed a ring in the air and flew toward the Dragon Emperor Avatar.
At the same time, his ninth soul ring began to shine brightly.
As soon as his ninth soul ring appeared, the air seemed to thicken, almost as if the air had solidified. A barrier of light, like a giant orb, appeared in the sky. This light barrier enveloped the Five Elements Qilin and the Dragon Emperor as it manifested in midair.
Even with the Dragon Emperor’s power, he was paralyzed in that instant.
What was this?
Tang Wulin felt his cultivation base wasting away wildly. It felt just like being hit by the Five Elements Truefire. The most worrying thing was that time and space seemed to have frozen as well within this light barrier. Apparently, even his Time Backtrack could not do much within this space.
Tang Wulin knew that his Time Backtrack domain’s capabilities were not the issue here. After all, his opponent’s cultivation base was greater than his. At this moment, his opponent had finally bared his fangs and began to spiritually suppress him.
His eighth soul ring glowed. The Five Elements Divine Needle, which had threatened Tang Wulin’s life before this, reappeared.
Without a doubt, the time to decide the result of the battle had come.
Tang Wulin was not flustered. In truth, he was also waiting for this moment. Although it was undeniable that his opponent’s incredible ninth soul skill was powerful enough to conclude this battle, it also meant that his opponent was forced to use his deadliest maneuvers against him. At this moment, the opportunity he was waiting for had arrived.
Six golden soul rings appeared on the Dragon Emperor Avatar’s body at the same time, and the sixth ring abruptly burst forth with light. The Dragon Emperor Avatar had always had golden eyes, but they had now turned the color of blood.
Even when he was sparring with the Smiley Face Douluo Hu Jie, he did not use the Golden Dragon King’s most powerful skill. Finally, it was making its appearance now.
The Qilin Douluo Tong Yu’s ninth soul skill was known as the Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier. His eighth soul skill’s offensive power was already sufficient, so gaining another attacking soul skill from his ninth soul ring would have been meaningless to him. It was better for him to have a powerful ability that could work well with his eighth soul skill and give his opponent nowhere to run to.
That was how the Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier came to be. This soul skill’s most terrifying property was its sudden activation. Its effects were like an enhanced version of his Five Elements Truefire. Once his opponent was enveloped, they would have no choice but to face him with raw strength, unless they could suppress him with either their spiritual cultivation base or soul power cultivation base. His opponent would have to withstand his attacks while bearing the limitations imposed by his Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier.
However, within the Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier, Tang Wulin suddenly experienced a change. As his eyes turned crimson, his bluish-gold dragon body was also covered in a blood-red halo.
When the people from Shrek Academy witnessed this scene, expressions of horror immediately crept onto their faces. They were most worried that the incident at the Dou Spirit Empire’s Spirit Pagoda would repeat itself.
Tang Wulin was currently representing the whole of the Tang Sect. If he lost control of his emotions, he would go berserk in front of the entire Star Luo Empire! The consequences from that would be unimaginable.
They could only choose to trust in Tang Wulin and have faith that he would be able to control his own emotions. They had to believe that he was able to restrain himself while unleashing his full strength.
This soul skill battle had finally reached the final point, which was also the climax.
Inside the Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier, an ominous sound, as if ten thousand dragons were roaring, suddenly burst forth. Tang Wulin’s Dragon Emperor Avatar suddenly enlarged. Every scale on his body had a peculiar shaped rune. In that moment, the lighting in the entire coliseum suddenly dimmed. A scarlet hue was added to the exterior of the Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier.
The dark red color gave the crowd a suffocating feeling of horror. It felt as if the skies were going to fall and the land was about to split open. It was a feeling of imminent destruction.
His five Elements Divine Needle had already shot out from the Five Elements Qilin’s head. However, a surge of dark red radiance suddenly burst forth from the Dragon Emperor Avatar’s body.
The Five Elements Divine Needle moved at lightning speed, but as it was enveloped by the dark red radiance, it suddenly slowed. As it lost its momentum, it was continuously weakened.
Still in the Great Five Elements Divine Barrier, the Qilin Douluo was the only one who could hear a voice which came from the depths of his heart.
“Golden Dragon! Inferno Kill!”
A strange scene immediately appeared in Tong Yu’s mind. Even though his spiritual cultivation base was stronger than Tang Wulin’s, at that moment, he felt as if he had entered another world.
All was scarlet as far as his eyes could see. Within this world, countless living souls were wailing. In the skies, a giant golden dragon, unfathomably massive, was roaring at the heavens. The terrifying destruction aura was killing every living soul in sight.
What was this soul skill? Without a doubt, this was not a simple energy soul skill. It contained a powerful spiritual attacking power as well.
‘This is bad!’
With a furious roar, the Five Elements Qilin’s body burned brightly with Five Elements Truefire. He fully unleashed it all around himself to protect his own Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier. He wanted to suppress the fearsome force that was surging outward.
The energies of the two opponents had reached a temporary balance in that moment.
The Five Elements Divine Needle shot through the Dragon Emperor Avatar’s shoulder. Tang Wulin managed to avoid having his vital points stabbed by the needle with the effects of his Golden Dragon Inferno Kill. His shining, dark red Dragon Emperor Claw had already reached the Five Elements Qilin. However, he was suppressed by the Great Five Elements Divine Light Barrier and did not manage to land a blow.
Although the Golden Dragon Inferno Kill was being suppressed, the suppression only made it grow stronger. Tang Wulin’s Dragon Emperor Claw was slowly but surely closing in on the Five Elements Qilin’s chest.
