Chapter 33

He swallowed ten Soul-Returning Pills.

Vast soul power instantly filled Bai Yuan's body.

He felt his inner soul power overflowing, as if it would burst him apart; every nerve inside and out transmitted pain.

Without hesitation, Bai Yuan sent all his inner soul power into the Five Elements Array, yet even so his condition hardly improved.

The ten Soul-Returning Pills inside him kept producing soul power, and because the output was too great, his meridians felt swollen.

Five Elements Primordial Array, myriad qi return to the origin!

Bai Yuan strained to form seals with both hands; the Five Elements Array floating in midair underwent a strange, indescribable change at that moment.

The most immediate sensation of this change came from the nearest Sword Warrior Chenxin and Bi Bi Dong.

They felt that the force which had previously repelled them, trying to decompose them, had vanished.

But before they could rejoice, they felt their own soul power rush out of their bodies and converge toward the square piece of wood before Bai Yuan.

Moreover, they sensed that all soul power in the heavens and earth seemed to want to gather there.

That array plate seemed to have become a black hole, accepting without refusal their attacking soul power, the ghosts rushing down from the sky, or even the energy of the golden tornado.

"Not good!" Sword Douluo and Bi Bi Dong simultaneously felt an intense sense of danger well up in their hearts.

Five Elements Primordial Array, Primordial Tribulation!

Bai Yuan changed his hand seal, and threads of invisible chaotic qi drifted down from the Five Elements Array.

The space through which the chaotic qi passed melted away; everything merged into it, as if it were everything.

Bi Bi Dong and Chenxin's brows twitched violently; they dared not delay any further, no longer thinking of seizing the chance to kill Bai Yuan, and turned and fled.

"Die!" Bai Yuan shouted softly.

The threads of chaotic qi split into five, slashing toward Bi Bi Dong and her doppelgänger, as well as Chenxin, Ghost Warrior, and Chrysanthemum Warrior.

In an instant, the chaotic qi tore through the void, as if a segment of space and time had been erased.

The ghost tide in the sky instantly dissipated by half, and that black hole was split apart; had Ghost Douluo not hidden within the ghost tide to evade in time, this strike would have cleaved him in two.

Chrysanthemum Douluo on the other side was not so lucky; the moment the chaotic qi struck, his ninth soul skill automatically dissipated.

Nevertheless, this barely bought him a moment, allowing Chrysanthemum Douluo to escape at the cost of losing an arm, being devoured by the chaotic qi.

Bi Bi Dong and Chenxin, who were closest, suffered the worst.

Bi Bi Dong's doppelgänger was directly devoured by the chaotic qi, and the Seven Murder Sword fused into Sword Warrior Chenxin lost a tip of its blade.

Bi Bi Dong's main body had its Death Spider Emperor beheaded, yet she did not die; her ninth soul skill, Undying Body, preserved her life.

"Has this strike still not reached the Nascent Soul stage?" Bai Yuan gazed at Bi Bi Dong's recombined body, took three Soul-Returning Pills, and couldn't help sighing.

Perfect Core Formation equals ninety-nine Peerless Douluo; naturally, Nascent Soul already reaches the god-tier threshold of the Douluo Continent.

Bi Bi Dong's ninth soul skill cannot preserve her life under a god-tier attack.

Her head and body swiftly reunited; the terrifying, ferocious Death Spider Emperor transformed once more into an absolutely beautiful woman.

Bi Bi Dong's face was pallid at this moment; her beautiful eyes held uncontainable rage and killing intent.

Sword Warrior Chenxin on the other side was no better; separating from the broken Seven Murder Sword, he immediately spat three mouthfuls of blood, his formerly ruddy complexion turning as pale as Bi Bi Dong's.

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had lost an arm, came behind Bi Bi Dong; they dared not use their martial soul fusion technique, merely coming to stare fixedly at Bai Yuan.

Elsewhere, the many Title Douluo saw from afar that Bai Yuan's strike had severely wounded the four Title Douluo aided by Ning Fengzhi, and they too felt heavy-hearted.

At the same time, they found it hard to believe.

The information clearly stated it was a reborn hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast; such a beast should be extremely weak, so how could it be this strong?

Not long after, the ten Title Warrior previously mentioned, plus Ning Fengzhi, the Dragon-Snake couple gathered together, and later arriving, Yu Xiaogang's father, the Thunder Warrior Yu Yuzhen.

All together, they were top-tier experts of the continent, gathered here.

However, among these people, the most shocked were the Dragon-Snake couple; they had previously encountered someone who felt pitifully weak, only now realizing it was a prehistoric giant crocodile.

At the same time, they felt fortunate that they had not rashly attacked earlier, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing the Title Douluo hesitating, with none daring to make the first move, and also seeing Bai Yuan there continuing to take his pills,

Bi Bi Dong said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't be afraid; an attack of that magnitude, he cannot possibly unleash a second time."

Most of these Title Douluo are her subordinates, but if she forced them to go to their deaths, they would certainly resist as well.

Upon hearing this, many Title Douluo were eager to act.

Bai Yuan snorted coldly: "Cannot unleash a second time? I advise you to think carefully; you are not all possessors of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, nor are you all a match for Sword Douluo."

Just now Bi Bi Dong survived solely because of that hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring; Sword Douluo was also lucky, having fused with his martial soul without harming his main body.

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

Seeing the situation, Bi Bi Dong added: "He's just bluffing; if he could really unleash it again, he wouldn't be so threatening."

Bai Yuan sneered: "I admit my condition isn't great now, but if you insist on driving me to a dead end, I guarantee at least half of you will die; I'd like to know which Title Douluo are willing to sacrifice themselves."

As his words fell, the place fell into silence.

No one was willing to be the first to act.

After all, Bai Yuan had already laid down his words; the first Title Douluo to act would have an extremely high chance of being replaced by him.

Then, Ning Fengzhi suddenly said: "Bai Yuan, return Rongrong to me, and my Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect will leave immediately."

All the Title Douluo were startled.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect's members include top-tier combat power Sword Warrior Chenxin, plus him, their strongest support; if they left, their battle strength would at least be halved.

Bi Bi Dong clenched her fists tightly.

Having brought many Title Douluo here, fought for so long, with several still severely wounded, they ended up gaining nothing.

How could anyone accept that?

But Bai Yuan gave a cold smile: "What right do you have to demand it? I'll lay down my words now: unless your Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect helps me slaughter them all, you will never see your daughter again in your lifetime."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed harshly, then instantly calmed, and he said: "Bai Yuan, keeping Rongrong with you brings you no benefit."

Bai Yuan smiled and said: "What if there's no benefit? Since she wants to kill me, she must pay the price. You, as her father, if you have the guts, help Ning Rongrong repay."

Bai Yuan knew he could not show any weakness now.

If he let Ning Rongrong go, everyone would think he just wanted to survive, lacking the resolve to fight to the death.

Moreover, if he released Ning Rongrong, what could he do if the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect came back for revenge?

As everyone was in a standoff, Bai Yu, Su Yin, and Su Yue ran farther and farther away, but several huge figures flew in from the horizon.

Those were... ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts!
