A strange weapon appeared in Xue Jiu's hand. It was a long spear—but only one end had a spearhead. The blade was about a meter long, serpentine in shape, and forked at the tip. It was a serpent spear.
There was no visible spear light, but the moment the serpent spear thrust forward, the air and space around it twisted.
At that very moment, Gu You's halberd strike arrived.
The instant it touched the warped space, the Purple-Gold Dragon Halberd trembled slightly, but the next moment, it pierced straight through. It reached Xue Jiu in an instant.
Xue Jiu raised his eyebrows and shifted his body, dodging the direct strike. His serpent spear clashed with Gu You's halberd.
"Clang!" Xue Jiu was taken aback. In just an instant, the overwhelming force sent his spear flying.
He could faintly feel cracks forming in his martial soul.
After retreating dozens of steps, Xue Jiu regained his grip on the serpent spear. His third soul ring burst into light, and a giant python projection suddenly surged from the spear.
A vertical gleam flashed in Gu You's eyes—dragon might rolled forth.
At the same time, his battle armor activated. With the boost, his aura instantly reached the Titled Douluo level.
A massive dragon head charged forward, colliding with the python.
Yes—Gu You's second soul skill, Purple-Gold Annihilation Slash.
How could a serpent clash with a dragon? In such a straightforward contest, Xue Jiu was at a disadvantage.
The python was devoured instantly. In the blink of an eye, a crushing wave of destruction pressed toward Xue Jiu.
In that instant, Xue Jiu made a rapid judgment—and was shocked to find he couldn't block it! Without using his battle armor, he had no way to withstand this strike.
'How can this be possible?'
With a burst of gray light, his three-word battle armor appeared in an instant. Retracting his serpent spear, wings spread wide behind him as a gray halo radiated from his body.
The approaching dragon head halted abruptly, as if it had plunged into mud. Its speed plummeted.
Seizing the opportunity, Xue Jiu thrust his spear upward. His sixth soul ring lit up, and a massive python projection appeared behind him. The spear split into countless shadows, like a swarm of serpents dancing in a frenzy, clashing with the Purple-Gold Annihilation Slash.
The skill began to shatter, but Xue Jiu was still forced from the sky and slammed into the ground. Though a mask covered his face, the shock in his expression was palpable.
He never imagined that he would be forced into such a defensive position by a Soul Douluo.
But the reality was clear—even with the power of his three-word battle armor, although he neutralized the attack, he was still overwhelmed by Gu You's raw strength and knocked down. It was unbelievable.
'Just how terrifying is this strength...?'
Beside the arena, the eight watching Blood Gods wore varied expressions. The most stunned was undoubtedly Xue Ba.
Just one exchange—Xue Jiu lost in a single clash.
Xue Jiu's face darkened. Humiliating. Absolutely humiliating. Aside from shock, there was deep frustration. After all, all eight other Blood Gods were watching this match—especially his own father.
Gu You pointed his halberd to the sky and let out a resonant dragon roar. His body pulsed with multicolored energy, as if a massive rainbow dragon coiled around him. Within the aura, the purple hue was especially strong, and in an instant, his presence soared to the peak.
Xue Jiu snorted coldly, thrusting his serpent spear forward. His sixth soul ring flared again, the massive python projection reappearing, and a blinding light burst from his weapon. Beneath him, a domain of writhing serpents extended from his three-word battle armor, its glow spreading widely.
At that moment, a change occurred around Gu You.
Domain of Silence!
A violet aura swept outward in an instant.
The two domains collided.
Xue Jiu's armor-based domain was instantly stained purple.
The size and strength of a domain depend on one's cultivation, but the domain's tier mattered even more.
Undeniably, Gu You's domain far surpassed Xue Jiu's sluggishness domain granted by his armor.
Though Gu You's body slowed slightly, his halberd didn't. It slashed repeatedly through the air.
Over a dozen violet energy waves slashed forth, surging with overwhelming blood essence.
Even Xue Jiu, a Titled Douluo, had a moment of mental daze. His bloodline was visibly suppressed. The python phantom behind him was even worse—shattered in an instant.
Xue Jiu's sixth soul skill was disrupted on the spot by Gu You.
The storm of slashes surged toward him.
Xue Jiu reacted immediately. Though his sixth skill had been broken, his three-word battle armor responded. A gray, crystalline shield expanded over the surface of his armor, blocking the first waves.
At the same time, his serpent spear flared, shooting out hundreds of light beams.
He knew—if he didn't go all out now, he might not get another chance.
The beams collided with the remaining slashes, finally neutralizing them.
With his serpent spear stabilized, Xue Jiu calmed himself. He now took Gu You completely seriously. The third soul skill flared again. A giant python surged forth.
Gu You raised his dragon claws.
Purple Emperor Claw!
Countless violet streaks slashed through the space.
The python was instantly torn apart and struck Xue Jiu directly.
His battle armor dented. Intense danger surged within Xue Jiu.
With a loud roar, his seventh soul ring finally activated. In a flash, his body flew backward. His spear enlarged, and with a transformation, he turned into a giant python over thirty meters long.
The python opened its jaws, lunging at Gu You.
"In this moment—your defeat is certain!"
Gu You roared toward the heavens, his body expanding into a massive dragon over a hundred meters long.
This time, his scales were multicolored, no longer just purple.
The aura of destruction had weakened, replaced by a complex and balanced energy.
'If not for the limitations of the arena, I could become a thousand-meter dragon and swallow him whole. Might even get stuck in my teeth,' Gu You thought.
The dragon tail whipped down.
Boom—! The python was instantly struck...
