"Clan crest, activate!"
Seeing Xiao Yan unleash two clan markings, Hun Yan was not to be outdone. As a member of the Hun Clan, he also possessed a clan marking. However, his talent was not particularly extraordinary, and his clan marking was only at the eighth rank, still far from the ninth rank, let alone comparable to Xiao Yan's strange combination of clan markings.
However, the power of the Soul Clan's clan mark still allowed Soul Yan to advance from the early stage of the Two-Star Dou Sheng to the mid-stage of the Two-Star Dou Sheng, and the amplification effect was not weak!
Looking at Hun Yan, Xiao Yan felt not nervous at all because of the latter's strength, but rather eager to try.
Since Xiao Yan advanced to the Dou Sheng level, he has not had a match of a high level. He was following the orders of Ancestor Xiao Xuan when facing Hun Feng and Gu Qingyang, and he was unwilling to fight Lei Dong. But Hun Yan, who is now in front of him, is obviously a worthy opponent to be challenged!
Someone stronger than oneself, but not overwhelmingly so, is perfect for testing one's own level.
With a swing of his Xuan Heavy Ruler, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi surged wildly, and the energy of heaven and earth moved with his will, instantly condensing countless ruler shadows!
A chilling, murderous aura emanated from Xiao Yan, like the clash of swords and the roar of armor.
The Heavenly Ruler, Your Majesty Reigns!
In the past, this combination of fighting techniques often required Xiao Yan to accumulate strength before using it. However, now that Xiao Yan has truly advanced to the Dou Sheng realm, such a high-level Earth-rank fighting technique can be said to be effortless and readily available.
Seeing this, Hunyan's hands shone with a dark light, and he unleashed a series of thunderous punches.
The domineering black fist shadow and the fiery Heavenly Desolation Ruler shadow collided continuously, each strike being the most exaggerated and direct clash of fighting spirit.
The battle energy that erupted from the center flew out like meteors, then danced down, impacting the Flower Sect's great formation.
The two were evenly matched for a short time, neither gaining the upper hand.
Due to her limited strength, Yao Qingyu did not participate in the battle; she was only responsible for managing the disciples of the Flower Sect and observing the battle from a close distance.
Watching Xiao Yan and Hun Yan clash fiercely, Yao Qingyu felt a deep sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings of emotion and reflection). During the Pill Gathering, Yao Qingyu was able to help Xiao Yan, but in the four or five years that followed, Xiao Yan had only been asleep for three years and had visited the Heavenly Tomb once, yet he had already grown to a level she could only look up to.
With her current Dou Zun level cultivation, all Yao Qingyu could do was concentrate fully on capturing Xiao Yan's movements and seeing clearly what he was doing.
However, in reality, Xiao Yan was even more relaxed than Yao Qingyu had imagined. His soul power was all-pervasive and omnipresent, becoming many pairs of eyes scattered outside Xiao Yan's body, providing feedback on every aspect of this fierce battle from different angles.
For example, he is currently assessing the extent of the Heavenly Desolation Ruler's strike.
Xiao Yan analyzed in his heart: "With the blessing of the new version of the Strange Flame, the Heavenly Desolation Ruler, with its multiple layers, has truly reached the edge of the Heavenly Rank Battle Technique."
"The release speed is almost negligible, making it a method that can be used during the Dou Sheng stage."
Once you reach the Dou Sheng level, your abilities in all aspects will be enhanced beyond imagination. Xiao Yan had already clearly understood that the battles between Dou Sheng were fundamentally different from those below Dou Sheng, so he also needed to figure out which abilities were still useful and which abilities urgently needed to be updated.
As the power of the Heavenly Desolation Ruler's strike gradually diminished, a tiny soul needle suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's palm.
"Next, let's see how the Shadow Strike works against a Battle Saint with a Heavenly Realm soul."
The Shadow Needle Soul Skill has always been a surprise weapon in Xiao Yan's battles, usually achieving unexpected results. However, Xiao Yan will be facing Heavenly Realm experts in the future, so its effectiveness will need to be tested carefully.
……
Before the Flower Sect, the four Dou Sheng level powerhouses fought fiercely, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The outcome of the battle between Xiao Yan and Hun Yan was already clear. Xiao Yan stood high above, calm and composed, scanning Hun Yan of the Soul Palace.
At this moment, the latter was in a terrible state, and the black mist unique to Soul Hall experts around him was almost impossible to maintain. Not far from him, there was a strange black flame that was constantly rising, and many of the fighting techniques he released were directly swallowed up by this black flame.
Hun Yan certainly knew what this thing was, and it was precisely because he knew that he felt so troubled. This Void Devouring Flame was indiscriminate in its devouring power, and even if he had a countermeasure, as long as he made a move, Xiao Yan would inevitably stop him.
Meanwhile, after the black flames absorbed his fighting skills, they continuously restored Xiao Yan's fighting energy, and Xiao Yan never showed any signs of fatigue.
The only time he almost affected Black Flame, he discovered that Xiao Yan's right hand could simultaneously release a devouring ability, causing his plan to fail completely.
The clash of fighting spirits was extremely frustrating, and his soul power was completely outmatched.
Soul Yan's soul power was suppressed to a very small range of activity, making it even simpler to target Xiao Yan with her soul power—overpowering skill with brute force. Any methods employed by the Soul Palace were suppressed by her unreasonable and massive soul power. In terms of soul power, Xiao Yan was an utter bottomless pit, seemingly showing no signs of fatigue.
Hun Yan possessed a hidden Heavenly Realm level soul that continuously enhanced her abilities, yet in this soul-clash battle of attrition, she was still no match for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's attacks were all aimed at the soul, and at the same time he controlled the domineering and greedy black flames. For a moment, even Hun Yan was confused, wondering who the Soul Palace's people were.
Not to mention, Xiao Yan's methods are varied and diverse. The powerful Eight Desolate Star Lotus Flame, with its destructive force, hardly caused Xiao Yan any harm, and Xiao Yan's all-out Heaven-rank Battle Skill, Ninefold Crimson Tide, combined with the Five-Colored Strange Flame, caused Hun Yan considerable injury.
In terms of defense, the Ancient Insect Emperor's Robe gave Xiao Yan ample confidence to completely ignore the attacks that were intercepted by the Void Devouring Flame Sub-Fire.
Let alone quickly defeat Xiao Yan and help protect the souls facing the Flower Sect's formation and Fairy Hua, Hun Yan is now starting to doubt whether she can actually defeat Xiao Yan.
With the strength of a one-star Dou Sheng, Xiao Yan completely suppressed the two-star Dou Sheng powerhouse of the Soul Palace. This is the full strength that Xiao Yan can unleash now!
After trying almost all of his important techniques, Xiao Yan muttered to himself, "What a pity. I can suppress him, but killing him is still troublesome."
If the other Dou Sheng who had cultivated diligently for many years knew that Xiao Yan was not satisfied with suppressing an opponent one star higher than himself, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Once you reach the Dou Sheng level, aren't you an exceptional individual, full of extraordinary encounters?
Fighting across a small realm at the Dou Sheng level is extremely troublesome, let alone a battle at the Leap Star level. Xiao Yan actually wanted to completely suppress or even kill him, which is truly an anomaly among Dou Sheng.
Faced with the current battle situation, both the opponent, Hunyan, and the fairy Hua beside her were extremely shocked.
