Wang Chen watched as the vast, overwhelming ocean, capable of destroying an entire city, crashed toward him with ferocious force, his expression turning grave.
This was the power of a Limit Douluo with dual soul cores—one strike was beyond the reach of even a Super Douluo's full effort.
However, Wang Chen was no longer the same as before. So what if they were Limit Douluos? In the current Douluo Continent, no "person" capable of killing him, Wang Chen, existed.
Wang Chen had confidence in his current strength. With a foundation surpassing that of a level ninety-five Super Douluo, amplified by six hundred-thousand-year soul rings and one million-year soul ring, plus the ring explosion secret technique, he could hold his own against a Limit Douluo.
While he might not be a match for two Limit Douluos combined, he had ways to escape. He could first use Spatial Confinement to stall them briefly, then seize the moment to activate Tianmeng Iceworm's remains to teleport hundreds of kilometers away—a distance even Limit Douluos couldn't easily bridge.
The reason Wang Chen didn't flee immediately was that he wanted to probe the background of this unfamiliar Limit Douluo. Most importantly, he needed to know how these two had tracked him to the Far North with such precision.
If these Limit Douluos indeed had a method to trace his whereabouts, even escaping temporarily with Tianmeng Iceworm's remains would only delay the inevitable—they would catch up eventually.
That would be problematic, as Wang Chen's ring explosion secret technique had a cooldown. Without it, relying solely on his raw strength, he was no match for a Limit Douluo.
Thus, he had to clarify this point. If the enemy could track him at all times, blindly using Tianmeng Iceworm's remains to escape would be unwise.
Wang Chen gripped the God-Suppressing Spear tightly, his sharp gaze fixed on the ocean above him.
His weapon martial soul activated, and six red and one gold—seven terrifying soul rings—rose and circled around his body, lighting up one after another.
First soul skill: Attack! Second soul skill: Break! Third soul skill: Solidify!
Fifth soul skill: Soul! Sixth soul skill: Burn!
Seventh soul skill: Martial Soul True Body!
With Wang Chen's cultivation reaching level eighty and his soul power comparable to a Super Douluo, his endurance had greatly improved.
Amplified by the million-year soul ring and five hundred-thousand-year soul rings, the God-Suppressing Spear's power was elevated to an unprecedented level.
It faintly broke through the barrier of a level-nine soul tool, reaching a new peak in might.
Under the enhancement of the six soul rings, the God-Suppressing Spear turned a brilliant gold, its sharp tip so piercing that it seemed to tear space itself, creating a dark rift.
Holding the spear with both hands, Wang Chen thrust it toward the ocean above. A massive spear beam, thousands of meters long, shot forth, tearing the ocean apart!
Song Jie, watching the six red soul rings and the dazzling golden soul ring circling Wang Chen, was visibly shocked.
As the High Priest of Sea God Island, he knew better than anyone what a golden soul ring represented.
It was a million-year soul ring, something only the Sea God from ten thousand years ago possessed.
Song Jie thought to himself, "Six red and one gold—what a terrifying soul ring configuration. My earlier strike, Boundless Ocean, though casual, was not something a non-Limit Douluo could resist.
This demon, a mere Soul Sage, possesses such strength. If he continues to grow and breaks through to Titled Douluo, the prophecy of the Sea God might come true.
No, for the sake of the billions of lives on the Douluo Continent, this demon must be eradicated in its cradle today."
Thinking of fighting to save billions of lives, Song Jie's spirit surged with fervor.
His martial soul, the Ocean, manifested behind him: black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!
Six black and three red soul rings, far exceeding the optimal configuration, rose and circled. His level ninety-nine soul power swept toward Wang Chen like a tidal wave. Clearly, Song Jie, the High Priest of Sea God Island, was getting serious.
Beside Song Jie, Mu En looked at the golden soul ring on Wang Chen and the soul tool spear, confirming his identity without a doubt.
There was no question—this was the Sun Moon Empire villain who killed his disciple, Yan Shaozhe.
Mu En thought to himself, "The Sun Moon Empire is ambitious and will eventually wage war. My time is short, but if I can eliminate this major threat for Shrek Academy and the three Douluo nations today, even exhausting my life force would be worth it."
Two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red—nine soul rings appeared on Mu En.
A massive golden light pillar shot into the sky from Mu En's body. His previously aged, hunched, and lifeless form transformed within the light into a handsome young man.
Golden dragon scales began to grow from beneath Mu En's skin, and his entire body turned golden.
Mu En seemed to have returned to his peak state.
With a resounding dragon roar from his mouth, his red soul ring shone brightly.
Mu En transformed into a thousand-meter-long dragon, and a terrifying dragon aura swept toward Wang Chen like a storm.
The combined might of Song Jie and Mu En, two Limit Douluos, was so terrifying that it dispersed the ice and snow on the outskirts of the Far North.
Facing the pressure of two Limit Douluos, Wang Chen stood unflinching, holding his spear, his deep eyes studying the man who had just attacked.
Song Jie had handsome features, a tall and upright figure, blue hair and eyes, and appeared to be around thirty years old, exuding the unique aura of the sea.
Observing Song Jie, Wang Chen had a guess about his identity and tested, "A sea soul master? Are you the High Priest of Sea God Island? It seems there's no enmity between me and Sea God Island. Why attack me?"
Song Jie's expression was solemn, his blue eyes filled with utmost devotion. "There's no personal grudge between us, but your very existence is the greatest threat to Douluo Star. Thus, you cannot be allowed to live."
Hearing Song Jie's words, Wang Chen's eyes narrowed, thinking, "As expected, he's from Sea God Island.
But Sea God Island is far overseas, distant from the continent with almost no contact. Yet now, they suddenly appear here.
Not only did someone from Sea God Island find me in the Far North, but they specifically targeted me for death. There's a big problem here—it's as if someone is orchestrating this from afar.
Most likely, it's Tang San. Other than him, the Sea God, no one else could command the High Priest of Sea God Island. That explains how they found me."
Wang Chen realized that if Tang San had set his sights on him, no matter how far he fled, these two Limit Douluos would catch up. Thus, he had to either kill or repel them.
However, Wang Chen knew his strength well. He didn't fear a single Limit Douluo and, with the Gold of Life and ring explosion, might even defeat one at great cost. But two Limit Douluos? That was beyond him.
Looking at Dragon God Douluo Mu En in the sky and the High Priest of Sea God Island, Wang Chen thought, "It seems I'll have to seek Snow Emperor's help to break this situation."
Having devised a plan, Wang Chen's mood lightened, and he even began considering how to turn the tables on Mu En and the High Priest.
At this moment, within Wang Chen's spiritual sea, the Ice Emperor and Tianmeng Iceworm were frantic, seeing two Limit Douluos teaming up against him.
Tianmeng Iceworm said urgently, "Wang Chen, these two are too strong. You're no match for them. Quickly use the ultimate power in my remains to teleport away."
The Ice Emperor countered, "Teleport? What teleport? Limit Douluos can manipulate spatial power—teleportation would be interrupted. Wang Chen, find a way to retreat to the core area of the Far North. Once there, I'll release my aura, and Snow Emperor will come to help."
Wang Chen said to the Ice Emperor in his spiritual sea, "Ice Emperor, I'll head to the core area soon and use my mental strength to amplify your aura's range. Once Snow Emperor appears, communicating with her is up to you."
"Don't worry. Snow Emperor and I are like sisters. Leave it to me," the Ice Emperor assured, waving its scorpion pincer.
Wang Chen's level-nine flight soul tool wings spread, and with a whoosh, he flew toward the core area of the Far North.
Song Jie shouted, "Demon, don't think you can escape! Sea Domain!"
Song Jie's crimson ninth soul ring lit up, and a blue domain expanded rapidly from his body in all directions, instantly enveloping Wang Chen.
Trapped in the domain, Wang Chen felt his movement speed drastically reduced, as endless seawater exerted immense pressure from all sides, threatening to crush his body.
In response, Wang Chen didn't hesitate and immediately activated his own domains to counter it.
Spirit Domain, activate!
Permafrost Domain, activate!
With both domains active, the Sea Domain enveloping Wang Chen was pushed back.
At the edges where the domains clashed, space trembled, and dark spatial rifts appeared.
As Wang Chen and Song Jie engaged in a domain clash, Mu En, transformed into a giant dragon, lit up his soul rings one by one, his aura growing even stronger.
Then, a dragon claw imbued with intense light power reached out, striking viciously at Wang Chen.
Dragon Emperor's Evil-Breaking Slash!
A hundred-meter dragon claw pierced through space, seemingly ignoring distance, breaking through the obstacles and freezing effects of the Spirit Domain and Permafrost Domain, arriving before Wang Chen in an instant.
This claw was ruthless and swift, infused with the light origin of the Bright Holy Dragon and the domineering Emperor's Reign technique, with spatial power concentrated at its center, making teleportation soul skills nearly impossible to execute.
Facing Mu En's signature technique, Wang Chen didn't dare hold back.
After all, Mu En was a Limit Douluo, one of the continent's strongest, with a Bright Holy Dragon martial soul comparable in quality to an extreme martial soul.
Three red soul rings and at least three hundred-thousand-year soul bones spoke to Mu En's foundation.
Even in his old age, with his strength no longer at its peak, he was far beyond Xuanzi. If Mu En and Xuanzi were at the same level, Mu En could dominate Xuanzi.
Without hesitation, Wang Chen exploded two of his red soul rings. Exploding more was possible, but two hundred-thousand-year soul rings were the limit his body could withstand—any more would injure him.
Under the ring explosion secret technique, the energy from the two hundred-thousand-year soul rings elevated Wang Chen's soul power from Super Douluo level to a level comparable to a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo.
In his previous battle with Xuanzi, Wang Chen's body could only handle level ninety-eight soul power. But after absorbing the Ice Emperor's soul ring and soul bone, his greatly enhanced physique could now withstand level ninety-nine soul power.
Wang Chen gripped the God-Suppressing Spear tightly, fusing his mental will and soul power, combining it with the spirit origin, and gathering the elemental energy of heaven and earth from all directions. He thrust his spear to meet the dragon claw.
At the level of Wang Chen and Mu En, aside from enhancement soul skills, most attack soul skills were no longer useful. Instead, self-created combat techniques and secret arts were more commonly employed.
The power of soul skills was limited by the soul ring's age. Even a hundred-thousand-year soul skill had limited potency, as the strongest hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were only comparable to Super Douluos.
Hundred-thousand-year soul skills might suffice for Titled Douluos and Super Douluos, but for Limit Douluos, they were inadequate.
Self-created combat techniques and secret arts, however, grew stronger with the soul master's cultivation.
At the Limit Douluo level, what mattered was foundation, realm, and the strength of created combat techniques.
Boom!!
With a massive explosion, space shattered, cracking like a black spiderweb.
Wang Chen and Mu En's origin power, soul power, and mental strength clashed fiercely.
After using the ring explosion secret technique, Wang Chen's soul power and mental strength were on par with Mu En's. His only inferiority was in physique.
Mu En's physique far surpassed Wang Chen's, capable of absorbing a five-hundred-thousand-year soul ring without issue.
However, Wang Chen had his own advantage—the God-Suppressing Spear. Even without Spatial Confinement, the spear itself was an extremely sharp weapon against Limit Douluos.
With a piercing sound, as the clash intensified, the golden tip of the God-Suppressing Spear pierced Mu En's dragon claw. But the immense force carried by the claw also exerted tremendous pressure on Wang Chen's body.
As Wang Chen and Mu En clashed, Song Jie, the High Priest of Sea God, appeared behind Wang Chen. One by one, Song Jie's soul rings lit up.
Pointing a finger at Wang Chen, a single drop of seawater shot from Song Jie's fingertip toward Wang Chen's head.
The seawater cut through the air, breaking space, appearing utterly unremarkable.
Yet, this single, unassuming drop of seawater was one of Song Jie's ultimate techniques.
Compressed within it was terrifying soul power and mental strength, infused with Song Jie's comprehension of the sea and the raging will of surging waves.
Its power was enough to pierce through a mountain.
If this drop of seawater struck Wang Chen's head, the outcome was obvious.
Wang Chen sensed Song Jie's sneak attack from behind, the intense sense of danger making his hair stand on end.
Song Jie said with slight smugness, "Dying at the hands of two Limit Douluos—you should be proud!"
Wang Chen's fourth soul skill, Instant, was nearly impossible to use under the influence of the severely disrupted and shattered spatial energy around him.
Just as Song Jie was gloating, a shattering sound rang out.
Bang! Bang!
With the sound of breaking soul rings, a terrifying surge of soul power, surpassing that of a Limit Douluo, accompanied by blood, shot into the sky.
