Chapter 226 Huo Yuhao vs. Qian Daoliu
This time, Huo Yuhao's return was very high-profile.
Although his figure had not yet set foot on the ground, his divine sense had already formed an invisible net, firmly covering the entire Spirit Hall. That terrifying spiritual power, like a boundless, surging wave, engulfed the Spirit Hall, and the golden light, like raging fire, dyed the entire sky a fiery red.
In that instant, almost all the powerful figures within the Spirit Hall sensed this unusual aura. They were all jolted awake from their cultivation, opened their eyes, and their gazes turned in unison towards Huo Yuhao's direction. A tense yet expectant atmosphere filled the air, as if the entire Spirit Hall was awaiting a crucial moment.
Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Phoenix Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Poison Douluo—almost all the renowned powerhouses within the Spirit Hall, their gazes pierced through space like sharp swords, focusing on Huo Yuhao. Their hearts were filled with a complex mix of emotions: surprise, curiosity, and relief.
Qian Daoliu transformed into a golden streak of light, soaring at an astonishing speed above the Spirit Hall. His eyes flickered with a complex light, a mixture of relief and reassurance. Sensing the almost suffocatingly powerful aura emanating from Huo Yuhao, Qian Daoliu slowly spoke, his voice tinged with disbelief: "Yuhao, I truly never imagined your strength would increase so rapidly, so dramatically. It's simply—it's practically a miracle."
As the representative of the angels on earth, even Qian Daoliu had never seen a soul master as gifted as Huo Yuhao.
At this moment, even Qian Daoliu fell into deep silence, unsure of what to say to express his feelings.
Although Qian Daoliu knew perfectly well that with Huo Yuhao's astonishing talent and unique opportunities, he would inevitably stand at the pinnacle of the continent, reaching a height that everyone looked up to, Huo Yuhao's progress was simply beyond everyone's imagination, even Qian Daoliu himself. Every breakthrough Huo Yuhao made was like challenging the limits, leaving everyone feeling shocked and incredulous.
Moreover, besides Huo Yuhao's own extraordinary talent, everyone around him is also exceptional.
Almost every time Huo Yuhao went out, he would bring Qian Daoliu one shock or surprise after another.
Take Gu Yuena, who is by Huo Yuhao's side, for example. This mysterious girl is still beyond Qian Daoliu's comprehension. Her strength and background seem to hide countless secrets, and every time she appears, she makes Qian Daoliu feel an indescribable pressure.
The only thing Qian Daoliu was certain of was that if he really attacked this girl, he would have almost no chance of winning. Even though he was in the Spirit Hall and could mobilize the power of the Angels to temporarily boost his strength to the god level, he still had no confidence whatsoever in defeating Gu Yuena.
Besides Gu Yuena, the seemingly innocent little girl she was holding was also a ferocious beast that had been around for hundreds of thousands of years.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao, at only thirteen years old, has already reached an unbelievable level of soul power condensation.
He not only successfully condensed solid soul power, but his soul power has also reached the realm of coexistence of solid, liquid and gas states.
It should be noted that Qian Daoliu only mastered this profound skill of coexisting three states after reaching the level of a Title Douluo.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao's mental strength had reached an astonishing level. His mental strength had completely reached the realm possessed only by a level 99 Limit Douluo. Such intensity of mental strength posed a tremendous threat to any opponent.
Huo Yuhao's identity as a spirit-type Soul Master makes his attack methods unique. All of his first martial soul's attack methods are achieved through mental power, which means that his mental power combat strength has reached the level of a Limit Douluo.
Although Huo Yuhao's mental strength might not be able to defeat a level 98 Super Douluo, a level 98 Super Douluo would definitely not be able to defeat Huo Yuhao easily either.
Therefore, in the entire Spirit Hall, apart from Qian Daoliu himself, Bibi Dong, and Golden Crocodile Douluo, Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the number one in terms of one-on-one combat strength.
As for his peers, they had long since become people from two different worlds from Huo Yuhao.
Moreover, it should be noted that Huo Yuhao has not even obtained a true martial soul form yet.
The enhancement of a Soul Master by a Martial Soul True Body is enormous, and Huo Yuhao's two Martial Souls, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Spirit Eye, are both top-grade.
Qian Daoliu knew that once Huo Yuhao's two Martial Souls, Spirit Eyes and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, both obtained their Martial Soul True Forms, Huo Yuhao's strength would reach an unimaginable height.
Imagine the power Huo Yuhao would possess if both of his martial souls reached the level of true martial soul form.
By then, it is estimated that on the entire Douluo Continent, apart from a very few peerless powerhouses such as Qian Daoliu himself, the High Priest of Seagod Island, Poseidon, and Tang Chen, there will probably be no one who can rival Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, let me witness firsthand just how far your strength has reached." Qian Daoliu's voice held a hint of seriousness, his gaze sharpening. He understood that his previous speculations were based solely on Huo Yuhao's soul power and known combat records. However, true strength could only be truly revealed in actual combat.
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Huo Yuhao immediately realized that Qian Daoliu wanted to test his strength. He dared not be careless in the slightest, because he was facing Qian Daoliu—one of the three peerless Douluo of the contemporary era, whose strength far surpassed that of the Black and White Sacred Dragon of Huo Yuhao's time.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.
Facing Qian Daoliu, Huo Yuhao knew he had to go all out, holding nothing back. A golden six-pointed star formation appeared beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao's soul spirits—Xiao Bai, the Demon King, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and the Ice Emperor—appeared one after another around him. Each of them exuded a different aura, but at this moment they all converged to form a powerful force.
The Ice God Armor also began operating at full power. Covering Huo Yuhao's body like a second skin, it not only protected him but also elevated his power to a new level. The ice crystals on the armor shimmered with a cold light, as if capable of freezing time and space.
"Are you ready? Yuhao, I'm about to begin." Qian Daoliu's voice seemed to come from the distant horizon, filled with irresistible majesty.
As Qian Daoliu finished speaking, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still. Huo Yuhao and Qian Daoliu's figures disappeared in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived at an altitude of a thousand meters.
There, they could fight without any scruples. After all, his battle with Huo Yuhao would definitely cause huge destruction. Only by fighting in the sky could they avoid causing large-scale damage to the ground.
"An angel has possessed me!"
Qian Daoliu's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed through the air.
As Qian Daoliu finished speaking, a magnificent angelic phantom suddenly appeared behind him, like a divine miracle descending from the heavens.
This angelic phantom stood a hundred meters tall, its wings spread wide like sky-covering feathers. A sacred radiance emanated from it, instilling an indescribable sense of oppression in everyone present. This radiance, like the first rays of dawn, dispelled the darkness and brought hope and light.
Immediately afterward, nine spirit rings began to rise slowly from beneath Qian Daoliu's feet. Their colors were black and red, each containing unfathomable power. These spirit rings encircled Qian Daoliu, radiating an awe-inspiring light. When all nine spirit rings fully appeared, the terrifying pressure caused the surrounding space to distort and deform, as if even the air itself trembled and time itself froze. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was not the only one who felt that powerful pressure. Deep within the Spirit Hall, a thousand meters below, the Title Douluo-level powerhouses also felt this extraordinary power.
In particular, Bibi Dong and Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose cultivation levels were closest to Qian Daoliu's, felt the most intense pressure.
A barely perceptible hint of apprehension flickered across Bibi Dong's face, her eyes revealing a deep reverence for Qian Daoliu. Although Bibi Dong's soul power level had reached an awe-inspiring ninety-eighths, and she possessed the rare twin martial souls, making her strength far surpass that of Golden Crocodile Douluo.
In the past, Bibi Dong confidently believed that her fighting strength was almost equal to Qian Daoliu's. However, she now had to admit that she had underestimated this old man, Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu's strength was far greater than she had imagined, even to a terrifying degree.
Bibi Dong secretly pondered that even if she and Golden Crocodile Douluo joined forces, they would probably find it difficult to contend with Qian Daoliu.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao also launched an attack on Qian Daoliu.
"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Skull Skill: Mental Shock!"
Huo Yuhao activated his mental shock skill. In an instant, Huo Yuhao's mental power began to surge rapidly, and a dazzling golden light emanated from the center of his brow.
This light was like a sharp sword pointing directly at the thousands of streams.
After using Mental Shock to enhance his mental strength, Huo Yuhao immediately activated his strongest mental attack skill to date, Soul Impact.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao's mental power surged like a tidal wave, forming a powerful shockwave.
The shockwave shot out from Huo Yuhao toward Qian Daoliu.
Although Soul Impact is Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, it can be said to be Huo Yuhao's strongest single-target mental attack to date.
This skill originates from the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Therefore, even among Huo Yuhao's many soul skills, Soul Impact remains his most powerful attack method.
Moreover, through continuous training and refinement of his skills, Huo Yuhao's Soul Impact has now reached an unbelievable level. Its power is so great that it can instantly knock an ordinary Title Douluo unconscious without any warning.
However, on one occasion, just as Huo Yuhao's soul strike was about to touch his opponent Qian Daoliu, the situation took an unexpected turn.
At that critical moment, a seemingly ordinary golden angel feather appeared slowly from nothingness, carrying a mysterious and sacred aura.
Immediately afterward, under Huo Yuhao's gaze, the golden feather began to undergo a wondrous transformation. It turned into countless tiny golden lights, which danced lightly as if they were alive, eventually forming an indestructible barrier.
When Huo Yuhao's soul impact came into contact with this golden barrier, it was completely blocked, causing no harm to Qian Daoliu. This barrier was like a mirror, reflecting Huo Yuhao's attack back intact, allowing Huo Yuhao himself to feel the powerful recoil.
Huo Yuhao was utterly shocked by what he was witnessing. He could clearly sense the spiritual power contained within the feather, a power that had surpassed the limits of human capability and truly reached the realm of a god.
"How is this possible?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed inwardly. "This is clearly a manifestation of spiritual power materialized. Qian Daoliu's spiritual power is definitely not as simple as level ninety-nine; what he is displaying is clearly god-level spiritual power!"
Huo Yuhao knew very well what god-level mental power meant.
Even on the continent ten thousand years later, Huo Yuhao knew of only one person, Di Tian, who possessed god-level mental power but lacked god-level strength.
Like his teachers, Dragon God Douluo Mu En, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, and Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, although their spiritual power was extremely strong, none of them had reached the level of a god.
However, Qian Daoliu's spiritual power had reached the god level.
This made Huo Yuhao think of the other two peerless Douluo: Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, and Tang Chen. Their strength was almost on par with Qian Daoliu's, which meant that Poseidon and Tang Chen's spiritual power was at the god level.
This time, Huo Yuhao truly gained a clear understanding of the strength of the three peerless Douluo on the Douluo Continent. All three of them had reached the god-level in terms of spiritual power.
The three of them were like three towering peaks on the Douluo Continent, standing firm and overlooking all living beings.
"Under the true divine, they are invincible in the world!" This statement couldn't be more fitting for these three. Their strength has surpassed the limits of ordinary humans, reaching a completely new realm.
To describe it precisely, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi have all reached at least the peak demigod level!
