Chapter 205

As the dragon's sound fell, the black fifth soul ring on the dragon's body lit up; although the dragon only had five soul rings, the power of this fifth soul ring was absolutely not weaker than that of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Qian Renxue felt somewhat helpless inside; she had already exerted her full strength immediately, but Gu Xuan's soul skill was too weird; after evading into space, she could not lock onto the attack at all, and could only let Gu Xuan amplify it.

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Qian Renxue also stopped holding back any soul power; all her remaining soul power surged into the Angelic Holy Sword in her hand, and the Angelic Holy Sword burst forth with unprecedented brilliant light, its edge fully revealed.

On the dark gold giant claw of the dragon's right claw opposing the angel, a halo began to flow, with blue-purple lightning, black darkness, silver-white space, cyan wind, gray-white, sky-blue ice flame, crimson fire, and blue-white time; eight colors combined with the dark gold to become a profound blackish color.

This is the fifth soul skill launched by Gu Xuan's External Soul Bone Dark Gold Terror Claw; Gu Xuan's fifth soul skill comes from the Dark Evil God Tiger, originally containing six elements, now plus fire, ice, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw's unparalleled sharpness and penetrative property.

Without exaggeration, the power of this strike of Gu Xuan is the strongest he can currently unleash.

As the black Soul Ring's deep black light blossomed, the giant dragon in the sky raised its right claw; on the right claw lay countless mysterious elements combined, a terrifying power capable of annihilating everything.

The Golden Crocodile Douluo and Bi Bi Dong below couldn't help but raise their eyebrows at this sight, for even they could sense the extraordinariness of Gu Xuan's strike.

Chen Xin looked on with a smile, his heart filled with relief, and whispered to Ning Fengzhi: "If Old Bone could see this, he'd probably laugh awake in his dreams!"

Ning Fengzhi also wore a smile, but more so he was incredulous, for even he didn't know Gu Xuan actually had such a trump card.

As those who had long been in contact with Gu Xuan, they naturally knew that his final trump card might come from the Ice Fire Dragon King's legacy, but they never imagined that this legacy also contained something that could let Gu Xuan erupt with such power.

Displaying a martial soul true form comparable to that of a Soul Saint despite being only rank fifty-six in soul power, and the giant dragon Gu Xuan transformed into was not even a complete martial soul true form.

Just how terrifying will his martial soul true form become once Gu Xuan reaches rank seventy?!

Thinking this, Ning Fengzhi's heart now holds only one thought!

It is destined for his Seven Treasure Glazed Sect to flourish!

Fifth Soul Skill: Evil God Annihilating Thunder Extinction!

As the soul skill was released, the giant dragon's massive claw, carrying boundless might and terrifying power, descended upon the angel's body.

The holy sword in the angel's hand also became dazzling as it gathered power, and with the final soul power condensed by Qian Renxue, her angelic holy sword met the dragon's claw.

"Angel…Holy Judgment!"

When their attacks collided, the imagined endless explosive roar and rolling air waves did not arrive; instead, the endless annihilating power on the claw and the angel's power mutually devoured and dissipated.

In the end, whichever side gains the upper hand will be the final victor.

Their struggle lasted nearly a minute, and to everyone's surprise, the first to show signs of weakening was Qian Renxue, whose soul power had reached rank seventy-four!

At the moment the weakness appeared, the dragon's claw clenched hard, directly crushing the angel's holy sword and pressing straight toward the angel's skull.

Just as the dragon's claw was about to crush the angel's skull, a golden light flashed in, and Chen Xin below instantly rose to his feet, the Seven Slay Sword already in his hand.

That golden figure stepped between the dragon and the angel; though over two meters tall, he appeared incredibly insignificant beside those two colossal beings.

Merely by standing there, that tiny figure prevented the dragon's claw from advancing even an inch.

This person was none other than the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had been watching the battle; upon seeing Qian Renxue lose to Gu Xuan, he could no longer remain calm.

Gu Xuan's strike was terrifying enough to seriously injure Qian Renxue, possibly even inflicting an irreparable permanent wound.

Because the special power formed by the convergence of several elemental forces emanating from the dragon's claw made even him feel a three-part wariness upon seeing it.

Only then did a ferocious golden crocodile appear behind the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who wore a brocade golden robe; the crocodile's entire body was golden yellow, exuding an aura akin to that of an ancient giant beast.

As the golden crocodile appeared, nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—rose in succession from the Golden Crocodile Douluo's body.

Though these nine soul rings rose not quickly, when the final blood-red, ink-like red soul ring appeared, countless people couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Ten thousand years—could that actually be a ten-thousand-year soul ring? The soul ring hailed as the greatest treasure of the Soul Master world?

Is this the strength of the second elder of the Hall of Worship? The Golden Crocodile Douluo hasn't appeared on the continent for over fifty years, and few in the Spirit Hall know him, yet seeing his nine soul rings now, everyone cannot help but feel an inner shock and admiration.

After the two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red nine soul rings appeared, the Golden Crocodile Douluo extended his right hand; terrifying soul power surging up to rank ninety-eight flowed, and his right hand transformed into a claw sprouting golden scales.

The crocodile claw seized the dragon's claw, and the Golden Crocodile's voice sounded softly: "Enough, spare the enemy when you can; you have won this battle."

But no sooner had he spoken than his expression changed, for the soul power and Geng-metal energy in his right hand gripping the dragon's claw were being annihilated and eroded at a terrifying rate.

The Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly gathered his soul power and Geng-metal energy onto his right claw, but what surprised him even more was that Gu Xuan's claw directly consumed one-tenth of his soul power!

How could this be? He is a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo; one-tenth of his soul power alone could match a rank ninety Titled Douluo, yet Gu Xuan's strike is this terrifying?

If this strike truly hit Qian Renxue, wouldn't she be reduced to nothing, not even ashes left?

Just as shocked as the Golden Crocodile Douluo was Gu Xuan himself, for even he didn't know his own strike's power could be this terrifying.

Bear in mind this isn't even his true martial soul true form; if he breaks through rank seventy and uses this strike with the amplification of his martial soul true form, one can imagine how formidable its power would be.

By then, his strike would certainly be a match for a Titled Douluo!!

As his own strength advanced, Gu Xuan's martial soul continued to evolve, for the attack he had just used was a skill he himself devised by combining his own abilities with the Ice Fire Dragon King's legacy.

Or rather, it is a sublimation, which Gu Xuan named the Second Awakening.

Exactly, it is the Second Awakening.

Gu Xuan has always felt that his Bone Dragon martial soul should be a type of innate martial soul, since the Bone Dragon is his entire skeleton evolved from ordinary bones into dragon bones, and it is a top-tier innate martial soul that incorporates special elemental and spatial forces.

Therefore, Gu Xuan began researching how to give his martial soul a second awakening long ago, though he had found no clue.

Only after Gu Xuan passed his fifth soul ring, mastering various elemental forces, and combining the Ice Fire Dragon King's legacy to fuse the techniques of near-extreme ice and near-extreme fire, did he finally accomplish this skill through a fortunate coincidence.

And now is the first time Gu Xuan uses it; moreover, his Second Awakening is not ordinary—if placed in the era of the Peerless Tang Sect ten thousand years later, his Second Awakening could certainly be called the highest-grade golden-tier Second Awakening.

Being able to erupt at rank fifty-six with a martial soul true form and combat power surpassing that of a Soul Saint is more than enough to prove the extraordinariness of Gu Xuan's Second Awakening.

Seeing his attack blocked by the Golden Crocodile Douluo, the dragon Gu Xuan had become had eyes of flickering red and blue flames that showed no extra emotion.

"Since that's the case, let me ask: are you convinced or not?" The dragon's voice sounded indifferent, giving no face, just wanting to hear you admit it yourself!!

At this moment, Qian Renxue's expression grew somewhat uncertain; if that strike had landed solidly on her, she might have had no chance left, for she truly could not withstand it.

Qian Renxue now somewhat wanted to tell Gu Xuan that she was his Snow Big Brother, and ask him not to be so heartless.

But in Qian Renxue's view, Gu Xuan doesn't know that! And she herself actually lost? Lost to a fifty-six-rank Soul King?!

How could this be? That brat actually hid such terrifying power? That brat who daily joked and feigned ignorance with her has already surpassed her!
