Chapter 347: Fire God Extinction Slay

Unlike the spectators, as the attacker, Long Aotian did not think Tang Wulin would die from this blow at all.

According to his understanding of Tang Wulin, this kid could probably block the axe without much trouble, but to do so he would have to use his physical strength.

And that was exactly Long Aotian's goal.

Although fighting Tang Wulin who wields the Blue Silver Emperor was also enjoyable, Long Aotian still preferred flesh-to-flesh combat.

He wanted to force Tang Wulin to change his fighting style, making this guy fight him using his true strongest method.

"Sigh."

Facing this axe swung from midair, Tang Wulin let out a helpless sigh.

Seeing him sigh, Long Aotian felt a surge of joy.

Has it finally come?

However, what happened next completely exceeded his expectations.

Tang Wulin simply opened his arms as if giving up, his expression calm.

The giant axe swept effortlessly through his body, encountering no resistance, even making Long Aotian doubt whether he had cut a human body.

His suspicion was correct.

As the axe swept over, a large portion of Tang Wulin's body vanished, yet he still wore that smile, as if feeling no pain.

Then, azure points of light rose up, turning into droplets that filled the missing parts of his body.

Fifth soul skill, Pure Water Spirit Body; its effect is to elementalize the body.

At the same time, Tang Wulin's outstretched hands suddenly clasped together, intense red-and-blue light bursting from his arms, two mighty dragon roars echoing across the square.

Strangely, Tang Wulin's originally golden eyes turned one blue and one red at that moment.

He spoke, word by word:

"Water Fire Mad Dragon Banquet."

As his words fell, countless fire dragons shot into the sky, turning the entire competition arena into a sea of fire.

"This is..."

Long Aotian stared in shock at the scene, and despite his usual fearless advance, he instinctively stepped back.

He could naturally tell this was Tang Wulin's domain skill, but this domain skill clearly exceeded his comprehension.

The dry air scorched his throat, immense water pressure pressed on his body, intense suffocation made him hard to bear, his slowed movements made him anxious, facing this unreasonable overbearing domain, even he couldn't help but feel a hint of fear.

He soon also noticed his own fear, and as he widened his eyes, he let out a great laugh—both expressing excitement at facing a strong opponent and mocking his own weakness.

"Good, this is enough! Let's fight!"

Having said that, his fifth soul ring lit up, his whole body rapidly spun, white light surged, forcibly pushing back the nearby fire dragons, then he leapt up and jumped into the high sky.

After leaping into the high sky, he paused slightly, then his whole body plunged downward violently, appearing as if he weren't trying to win the match but to destroy the entire competition stage.

This was exactly his fifth soul skill, Heaven and Earth Transformation.

Gazing indifferently at the descending Long Aotian, Tang Wulin extended his hand.

Afterward, all the fire dragons gathered onto the Fire Dragon King, instantly swelling its volume nearly tenfold.

After completing this growth, the huge fire dragon raised its head and let out a mighty roar, flapped its wings, and charged toward the falling Long Aotian.

Facing Long Aotian's strongest strike, Tang Wulin actually chose to meet it head-on; all the spectators dared not blink, staring fixedly at the scene.

Undoubtedly, this is the biggest battle scene since the start of this tournament; although Huo Yutong's power is also shocking, in terms of battle spectacle it clearly falls short of this one.

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats as they guessed the victor of this collision.

At the moment the two collided, time seemed to stop, and then——

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion that seemed to deafen rang out; terrifying energy surged within the competition's protective barrier, and the aftermath of their clashing attacks even melted and vaporized the competition stage tens of meters away.

Undoubtedly, the most miserable person on site was Unbroken Douluo Zheng Zhan.

As the referee, he had to stay in the competition area, meaning he had to bear the full brunt of Tang Wulin's domain damage.

Although he is a ninth-level Soul Engineer, his foundation as such cannot compare to that of the original three countries of the Douluo world; without using soul tools for defense, resisting Tang Wulin's domain head-on is no pleasant experience for him.

Moreover, the aftermath of Tang Wulin and Long Aotian's attack was also fully absorbed by him; if he hadn't quickly activated a soul tool, he might now be injured.

After personally experiencing this blow, Zheng Zhan immediately concluded: both of their attacks have already entered the realm of Honored Douluo.

This is truly shocking; although anyone can see that their attacks consume enormous energy and cannot be used repeatedly, these two youths—a Soul King and a Soul Sage—could actually reach the threshold of Honored Douluo with their full-power strikes, which Zheng Zhan finds hard to accept.

Long Aotian in the air was also blown back by the explosion's recoil, but he did not relent; instead, he turned his hands into axes, using the downward momentum to deliver a vicious chop.

Fourth soul skill, Mad God Slash.

By now the competition stage was ruined beyond recognition, littered with fragments and molten iron, a hellish sight.

Standing at the center of this hell, Tang Wulin gazed at the descending Long Aotian, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.

He could naturally tell that Long Aotian was already at the end of his tether; after unleashing this strike he would have no combat ability left.

But in fact, Tang Wulin's soul power has also been largely depleted; although he could still fight using his blood essence, to him it would be no different from losing.

Aside from Huo Yutong, Tang Wulin has never before met a peer who could push him to this extent.

He exhaled, slowly raised his hand, and his eyes returned to golden, radiating golden light.

Long Aotian suddenly noticed a familiar aura rising from Tang Wulin's body.

He widened his eyes in astonishment.

This is... the Unity of Heaven and Man?! Has Tang Wulin actually reached that realm?! As Tang Wulin's hand fully lifted, Long Aotian's axe happened to be right before his eyes.

And thus, under everyone's gaze, his finger met Long Aotian's giant axe.

One finger against a giant axe—this visual impact is undoubtedly strong, yet oddly, no spectator thought Tang Wulin would lose at this moment.

He exuded a miraculous aura, at this moment seeming to merge with heaven and earth, embodying the principle of heaven and earth, making it hard for anyone to feel hostility or doubt toward him.

He spoke softly.

"Fire God Extinction Kill"

As an aside, there will still be one or two more updates later.

In the original, the performance of not breaking Douluo was extremely shameful; among a group of peers who fight above their level (Jing Hong Chen, Kong Deming), he succeeded in lowering the overall prestige of ninth-level soul engineers, making the saying that Soul Masters above seven rings are stronger convincing.

Not to mention anything else, feeling fear towards Douluo-level attacks is really embarrassing.
