Chapter 184: Beyond the Limit

As time passed, the Spirit Hall seemed to gradually fall into a disadvantage; the black‑clad men, in both number and quality, appeared to be losing their advantage.

Spirit Vulture Douluo let out a long howl: "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was already prepared; their strength is far greater than we imagined. We must withdraw quickly!"

But at this moment the fierce clash was in full swing, the ground already soaked with fresh blood, the air filled with the sounds of fighting and wailing, and no one could pay attention to the Spirit Vulture Douluo's situation.

Only the Snake Spear Douluo and the Pufferfish Douluo were clear‑headed; as Title Douluo‑level masters, they instantly sensed something amiss on the battlefield and tried to organize a retreat.

Unfortunately, both were surrounded by powerful foes, especially Snake Spear Douluo, the host of this great battle, who faced the terrifyingly strong Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo surpasses Snake Spear Douluo in soul power, attack strength, and even in the execution of sword techniques.

Initially they aimed to suppress Snake Spear Douluo and slay many Spirit Hall soul masters, but now the tide has turned; how could they let the enemy escape so easily?

Especially since the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect suffered heavy losses—both disciples and civilians were heavily wounded or killed, not to mention the destruction of sect buildings; the whole sect is engulfed in flames, with ruins everywhere, looking utterly tragic.

Pufferfish Douluo was also locked in a fierce battle with Yang Wudi; relying on his Title Douluo strength, he looked down on Yang Wudi, yet now he is being suppressed by Yang Wudi—a disgrace to a Title Douluo.

At this point, after Spirit Vulture Douluo's warning, it became clear that the battlefield had shifted: what was once the Spirit Hall suppressing the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect now seemed the sect waiting leisurely, with most of the casualties around being Spirit Hall soul masters.

As for Demon Bear Douluo, he and Yang Xiong now resembled two mindless beasts, paying no attention to anything beyond.

Pufferfish Douluo roared, "Everyone, gather together!"

Immediately, Pufferfish Douluo let out a bellow; his Seventh Spirit Ring flashed, revealing his Martial Soul True Body: the Blood River Pufferfish.

The massive Blood River Pufferfish emitted a terrifying blood‑red aura; as a Martial Soul True Body it possessed deadly poison several times stronger than ordinary toxins.

But before he could act, Yang Wudi also activated his Seventh Soul Skill: Spirit Avatar.

Yang Wudi transformed into a huge blood‑red silhouette, gripping a massive Soul‑Breaking Spear that radiated endless killing intent, as if to tear all enemies apart.

The Spirit Hall's members seemed provoked; their attacks softened, and everyone gathered, appearing ready to retreat.

A careful observer would note that the Spirit Hall's soul master count no longer held a large advantage, and their attack power was subtly at a disadvantage.

At that moment, a massive roar echoed from outside the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, coming from an extremely muscular middle‑aged man.

The man was Niu Gao, who transformed into a gigantic plated rhinoceros, bearing two yellow, two purple, five black, and nine spirit rings.

Behind him trailed countless soul masters, numbering at least a thousand.

The Spirit Hall members, who had been slightly shaken, now seemed desperate; the enemy had another Title Douluo join them. That means, aside from Yang Xiong and Yang Wudi, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect already fielded six Title Douluos, and even Pufferfish Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo were being restrained by non‑Title Douluos on the opposite side.

The battlefield seemed utterly one‑sided now; the Spirit Hall was no longer contemplating annihilating the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but rather whether they could break through the encirclement.

Ignoring Sword Douluo's attack, Snake Spear Douluo forced his shoulder to bear a sword strike, then roared, "Everyone, prepare to retreat."

【5】 All the black‑clad members of the Spirit Hall surged like a tide, trying to withdraw from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

All the black‑clad men of the Spirit Hall present at the scene instantly surged like a tide, trying to retreat from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

But at this stage of the fight, retreat was no longer simple; Niu Gao led a thousand soul masters to cut off their escape route, and all the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's soul masters would not let them leave easily.

Yang Xiong and Demon Bear Douluo were fighting so wildly that they could not comprehend their surroundings, yet they continued to pour all their strength into attacking the enemy.

Especially after Ning Fengzhi employed the Eight Treasures True Body as support, Yang Xiong's power seemed to reach unprecedented heights; the Killing God Domain began to materialize, and his martial soul started to transform.

Demon Bear Douluo roared, "You brat, no matter what, I'll kill you today!"

The Ninth Soul Ring of Demon Bear Douluo flashed; he leapt high, transforming into a massive bear that fell from the sky, its colossal form brimming with boundless explosive power, like a meteor; within hundreds of meters everything seemed devoured, as if the technique's full might had been unleashed.

This is Demon Bear Douluo's Ninth Soul Technique: Apocalypse Meteor Bear Kill; with this move, the giant bear descends from the heavens, wielding terrifying energy, truly like the end of the world arriving.

Seeing Demon Bear Douluo push his power to the limit with this move, it proves worthy of a top‑tier Title Douluo's Ninth Soul Technique—indeed formidable and terrifying.

Both Lin Gong and Gu Duo Luo were extremely surprised; they never expected Demon Bear Douluo to exhaust himself to unleash the Ninth Soul Technique. Ordinary soul masters rarely use Ninth Soul Techniques, both because of the massive cost and because such techniques are a last‑ditch survival card.

But at this moment Yang Xiong's eyes blazed with fire; the five spirit rings on his front melted at lightning speed, their energy merging into his Sixth Soul Ring.

At the same time, Yang Xiong now held a sausage of ink‑green hue, which was Oscar's Fifth Soul Skill: Ultimate Green Sausage.

Yang Xiong had long known the war to annihilate the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was imminent, so while he was at Shrek Academy during the day, he asked Oscar to make him several sausages.

This Ultimate Green Sausage was crafted by Oscar using all his soul power with his Fifth Soul Skill, a sausage of true limit‑breaking explosive power.

After consuming the Ultimate Green Sausage, one's strength can surpass its original limits; soul power spikes instantly, attack power likewise surges, and in terms of support, it can even outshine the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in the short term.

Unfortunately, the Ultimate Green Sausage costs Oscar too much; he can only make one at a time, and each lasts merely three minutes.

Yang Xiong didn't bother with the details, stuffing the Ultimate Green Sausage into his mouth and chewing it rapidly.

In that instant, Yang Xiong felt his body's soul power on the verge of exploding, as if he had surpassed a long‑sought limit.

Immediately, Yang Xiong's Sixth Soul Ring flashed; his right hand grasped with full force, instantly forming a massive Dragon Claw that radiated azure flame, like nether ghost fire.

This is Yang Xiong's Sixth Soul Skill: Nether Dragon Claw; the huge claw lunged at the descending Demon Bear Douluo, as if it could tear the world apart.

Especially for Yang Xiong, to push this Hundred‑Thousand‑Year Soul Technique to its limit, he not only used the fused rings but also Ning Fengzhi's ultimate support and Oscar's Ultimate Green Sausage; the power nearly became the strongest in Yang Xiong's history, even surpassing his own expectations.

Yang Xiong's Nether Dragon Claw collided with Demon Bear Douluo's Ninth Soul Technique, Apocalypse Meteor Bear Kill, and the heavens seemed to tremble at that instant.

The massive Nether Dragon Claw seemed capable of shredding all things, and the Apocalypse Meteor Bear Kill was equally terrifying, its power pushed to the extreme.

Between the two, a horrific collision erupted, making the surrounding hundreds of meters feel as if they had exploded.

When everyone looked again at the scene, a huge crater had formed on the ground, and Yang Xiong gritted his teeth to barely stand.

"Old fool, you're ruthless!"

After saying that, Yang Xiong seemed to collapse into the crater involuntarily, his consciousness gradually fading away, even Ning Fengzhi's full‑scale support having little effect.

From the sky, Demon Bear Douluo let out another roar: "You brat, just wait for me; I'll tear you to pieces!"

At this moment, Demon Bear Douluo, relying on the explosive impact, had already moved nearly a kilometer away from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's plaza, apparently preparing to flee.

Upon close inspection, Demon Bear Douluo looked extremely tragic: his entire right arm's bones were pulverized, countless bones throughout his body were broken, even most of his head was charred, blood spewed from his mouth, and his whole body seemed drenched in blood.

Given his condition, Demon Bear Douluo's injuries were severe; if he didn't escape quickly, his life would be in danger, and whether he could recover later was uncertain.

When the battle reached this state, the Spirit Hall's troops fell into chaos, desperately fleeing.

But at this point, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would not simply give up.

If the earlier fighting still conserved some strength, after all we don't know how many enemies there were, or whether many more await later.

Now the enemy began to flee, and the entire Spirit Hall collapsed, showing no sign of reinforcements; instead, everyone grew more excited and more ruthless.

Dragon Lord and Snake Madam's staffs unexpectedly linked, the two staffs beginning to entwine with each other.

In that instant, Dragon Lord's dragon‑head staff and Snake Madam's snake‑head staff transformed into a massive dragon and a massive snake soaring skyward, swiftly attacking Spirit Vulture Douluo; this is the Overlord Dragon Snake Couple's Martial Soul Fusion Technique: Dragon Snake Combined Strike.

Spirit Vulture Douluo also sensed the danger of the situation before him, immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body, cradling a massive Fire Eagle, while the Ninth Soul Ring flashed.

Suddenly countless meteors appeared in the sky, all of them raining down, and each meteor emitted endless flames, as if the surroundings were a sea of fire.

This is Spirit Vulture Douluo's Ninth Spirit Skill: Heavenly Fire Meteor, which not only possesses overwhelming fire power but also has terrifying offensive capability.

But when Heavenly Fire Meteor collided with the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady's Dragon Snake Combined Strike, that combined strike proved unusually agile; the giant dragon and giant snake acted in offense and defense respectively, the giant snake swiftly used its head and tail to block the Heavenly Fire Meteor's attack, while the giant dragon circled upward, ultimately striking the massive Fire Eagle.

After taking that blow, Spirit Vulture Douluo spewed blood wildly, unable to continue attacking or restraining the Overlord Dragon Snake Couple, and swiftly flew away from the place.
