Chapter 136: Bai Yuan Fights the Abyssal Holy Lord Again

The figure appeared neither stout nor thin, clad in a black robe, with ink‑black long hair flowing behind, swaying with the lingering cold wind of heaven and earth, giving an air that was both demonic and immortal.

Yet the ancient, rustic bronze mask on his face felt wildly out of place, making him seem like a costumed actor and dragging down his entire demeanor.

Upon seeing the newcomer, all the Soul Beasts showed delighted expressions.

Snow Emperor's lips parted slightly; he almost called out 'Master Father,' but stopped himself and instead said, 'Dad, you've come.'

Ice Emperor hesitated, then also shouted, 'Dad.'

Bai Yuan's mouth twitched as he gave a slight nod, stepping slowly through the void; he appeared unhurried, exuding a powerful aura.

The Abyssal Holy Lord's gaze sharpened; he felt that the person walking toward him gave an extremely familiar sensation, and he subconsciously held him up for comparison with Bai Yuan, finding only that his side resembled him.

The rest of his aura and demeanor were completely different.

This is the effect of the Heavenly Secrets Mask.

【Heavenly Secrets Mask: When subjected to heavenly secrets calculations and divine sense probing, it prevents the probe from detecting any abnormality】

But these details don't matter; what baffles the Abyssal Holy Lord most is the strength of the person before him—not even that of a demigod, let alone that of a Title Douluo.

Yet after his appearance, all the Soul Beasts breathed a sigh of relief, as if victory were already assured, completely disregarding this mighty god‑level powerhouse.

Unlike the Abyssal Holy Lord, Qian Renxue saw golden light flickering in Bai Yu's beautiful eyes, for her intuition told her that the person before her was Bai Yuan.

This made Qian Renxue's gaze become hazy.

But she also realized: if the Abyssal Holy Lord could feign death and escape, why couldn't Bai Yuan, who could perish together with him, do the same?

Of course, Qian Renxue didn't know that Bai Yuan's feigned death had nothing to do with the Abyssal Holy Lord; it was entirely forced upon him by the Asura God.

However, Qian Renxue's guess happened to be correct.

"Who are you?" the Abyssal Holy Lord asked, not dismissing him despite the faint aura he displayed; after seeing the Soul Beasts' reaction, his heart grew heavy and he began to consider a retreat.

"Bai Yuan's senior disciple, the White Emperor." Bai Yuan spoke with an altered voice, blurting it out; hearing this, his disciples had to exert themselves fully to keep their expressions unchanged.

In a concealed space undetectable even to the Abyssal Holy Lord, Bai Yu heard it and stared wide‑eyed, wondering if she had been stripped of her senior disciple status.

However, she wasn't given a chance to complain; just like Bai Yuan, he single‑handedly lifted Gu Yue Na, then extended his other pale, jade‑like hand and began to knead her exquisite little face at will.

"Mistress, I was wrong."

"I'll still dare to vie for your favor in the future."

On the sea outside, the Abyssal Holy Lord silently watched Bai Yuan, as if trying to see through the man wearing the bronze mask.

After a few seconds, the Abyssal Holy Lord didn't rush to attack but said, "I'm curious—what power does a mere mortal like you have to resist me?"

Bai Yuan chuckled lightly and replied, "Try attacking and you'll find out."

The Abyssal Holy Lord hesitated a bit.

Helped up by Bosai Xi, Tang Chen shouted angrily: "You useless thing, hurry up and attack and kill them! A mere person below rank ninety makes you hesitate this long!"

The Abyssal Holy Lord's eyes narrowed.

He thought this was the Asura God speaking through Tang Chen's body, and the Abyssal Holy Lord realized he could no longer delay.

The Asura God forcibly blocked the divine realm's perception of the Douluo Continent; the longer the blockage, the more likely the other god‑kings would notice something amiss.

"Since you said try and you'll know, then I'll try!" the Abyssal Holy Lord brought down the great spear formed of pure energy in his hand.

This spear had no technique; it was merely extreme speed and force, plus absolute energy suppression.

Just such a spear had earlier severed half of Diti's dragon wing, inflicting grave injury.

As the spear fell, space shattered like paper under the tremendous energy surge and supreme force, forming terrifying spatial rifts.

Yet facing such a mighty spear, Bai Yuan remained calm; with a wave of his hand, countless thunderbolts sprang from a clear sky, flashing so brightly that even Title Douluo were nearly blinded.

Immediately afterward, a fire dragon vortex rose on the sea surface, its terrifying heat something even a Title Douluo would shy from touching.

At the same moment, a colossal ice dragon vortex surged on the sea, within which countless sharp ice cones flickered, its bone‑chilling cold no less than that of the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Realm.

But this wasn't the end; attacks of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—each equivalent to a Title Douluo's full‑force strike—appeared all at once.

With so many different‑attribute Title Douluo attacks, even a demigod powerhouse would likely be ground to fragments in an instant, leaving not even debris.

"Boom!"

The pure‑energy spear collided with the multitude of attacks, and in an instant an extremely chaotic force burst forth across heaven and earth.

Heaven‑shattering, earth‑destroying energy exploded on the sea surface.

Such a scene resembled a nuclear bomb, or rather was far more terrifying; the entire sea area sank hundreds of meters due to this collision.

If viewed from high above, one would see a colossal pit appearing on the sea, as if caused by a meteorite impact, leaving one feeling incredulous.

Space became even more shattered, with countless spatial rifts appearing in the sky, causing the Title Douluo to swallow nervously.

Is this really Bai Yuan's senior disciple?

He lives up to the domineering name of the White Emperor.

At the same time, the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall were all somewhat terrified.

They originally wanted to hunt Bai Yuan, but now it seems they were simply courting death, running to cause trouble on the King of Hell's head.

Qian Renxue also saw divine light flowing in her beautiful eyes, her mind shaken, feeling that such power should not be erupting from a human.

"How is that possible!" the Abyssal Holy Lord exclaimed, utterly shocked.

In the world there truly exists a living being who, with a mortal body, can easily withstand a god‑level powerhouse's attack without suffering the slightest harm.

Absolutely outrageous!

Bai Yuan smiled softly and said, "How could it not be possible?"

As a top‑tier grand formation master, he treats formations equivalent to a perfected Golden Core as something he can handle effortlessly.

Moreover, right after the Abyssal Holy Lord appeared, Bai Yuan began setting up formations under Gu Yue Na's cover.

Over that span of time, he had laid down here dozens of third‑tier formations, among them the finest batch.

The combined power of so many top‑grade third‑tier formations is enough to resist, even kill, an entity equivalent to an early Nascent Soul Abyssal Holy Lord.

Today, Bai Yuan will, with the cultivation of an early Golden Core, cross ranks to slay an early Nascent Soul, achieving an unprecedented leapfrog feat!
