Douluo Dalu: Volume 33: Seven Devils Avatars Read online

  This was the special effect of different domains in different places.

  The effect of Qian Renxue’s Angelic Domain was clearer the higher in the sky it was, the Seagod Douluo’s Seagod Domain was unparallelled in the great seas. And in places with large quantities of plants, Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain was undoubtedly the most tyrannical.

  Of course, Tang San’s present circumstances were still extremely dangerous. Due to his body inflating, his defensive power had shrunk to a dangerous degree. And the spirit power converging on him from the plants already surpassed his own spirit power by far, if he couldn’t control it, he would immediately capsize.

  Moving forward once again, Tang San began extremely carefully. He knew that his condition couldn’t last. Even disregarding the duration of Oscar’s two sausages, if the external and internal pressure of his body was maintained for long, he would also suffer incurable harm.

  Two hundred ninety, three hundred. Supported by the Blue Silver Domain’s Boundless Nature, Tang San finally climbed past three hundred steps. It was also the instant he set foot on the three hundredth step that Tang San opened his mouth wide, spitting out a golden blue mist.

  That wasn’t anything he wanted to do himself, but rather because the pressure brought by the Seagod’s Light after three hundred steps wasn’t as simple as just tangibility, but rather rose to an incomparably terrifying pressure. The gravity in his surroundings also tripled in an instant. Under such enormous squeezing, Tang San had no choice but to open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of the plant energy within his body. Otherwise, he would have imploded.

  Within that golden blue mist was still a rich blood reeking aura. The seven apertures of Tang San’s head was also simultaneously touched by a bloody mist. The condition of his body fell in a straight line.

  However, Tang San’s feet still didn’t stop, but on the contrary accelerated. He swiftly advanced five steps.

  The final moment approached. Tang San knew that if he couldn’t get there in one move, then he would never have another chance to climb up. And the Blue Silver Domain he released was now also swiftly contracting. The energy already wasn’t enough to support releasing it over a wide area. The consumption of the energy from the plants also rose in a sharp line. Even Tang San himself didn’t know how long he could hold out.

  “You can do it, little San (third brother).”

  Everyone accompanying Tang San to climb the whole way shouted practically as one voice. They of course also saw how terrifying the pressure Tang San now endured was, and also knew even more that this was his only chance.

  Ning Rongrong fiercely spit out a mouthful of blood that fell on her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Instantly, the originally four rays of amplifying light suddenly intensified. What she spit out was a mouthful of her heart's blood, the effect of which could increase her boost by ten percent. But it would be followed by severely injuring her strength. But at this moment, Ning Rongrong couldn’t mind anything else.

  It was as if the whole Seagod Mountain shuddered with each heavy step forward, three hundred six, three hundred seven …… three hundred twenty one, three hundred twenty two, three hundred twenty three…...

  Only ten steps remained to the goal.

  The scenery before Tang San’s eyes had already grown hazy, the Blue Silver Domain was also already once again back to a one meter diameter range around him. There were ten steps in front of him, but they had turned into a heavenly moat. The weight of his body, within that solidified pressure, it was already extremely difficult for Tang San to even breathe. One red strand after another constantly seeped out from his skin, turning into red solid forms like specks of stars in the air, then being crushed to dust.

  Having climbed to here, Tang San’s body was already completely lacking. Confronting the last ten steps, his raised left foot was raised motionless in the air, no matter what was said he couldn’t place it on the stone step in front of him.

  Just at this moment, warm energy flowed from behind Tang San, the power of a soul quietly awakening. Xiao Wu who had always been quietly leaning against Tang San’s back once again regained the life in her eyes, with the brilliance of a star.

  Chapter 227: Tang San’s Trump Card, Evolved Deathgod Domain Ability

  When Tang San reached the last ten steps he had to climb in the Seagod’s Light, spent as a dried up lamp, Xiao Wu on his back recovered her vigor.

  Even if Tang San wanted to suppress Xiao Wu’s soul, it was basically impossible right now. Just maintaining his Mysterious Heaven Skill was already a problem, he had no strength left to consider Xiao Wu. Moreover, Xiao Wu’s soul returned to her body with speed like a thunderbolt, refusing to listen.

  Vigor reappearing in her eyes, Xiao Wu’s expression still seemed quite calm. Her body slid quietly, actually slipping free of the Blue Silver Emperor binding her body like a fish swimming. In fact, even if Tang San was currently completely deficient of spirit power, accomplishing this bit was still extremely difficult. But Xiao Wu separated from it and stuck close to Tang San as if she wasn’t obstructed at all.

  She was now still within the range of the Blue Silver Domain. Under the immense pressure from the outside world, the Blue Silver Domain was no longer able to completely block the pressure on Xiao Wu’s behalf. A rich rosy red flush appearing on her skin, Xiao Wu’s both palms twisted around Tang San’s neck from behind.

  Invincible Golden Body launched, Xiao Wu’s fourth spirit ability. As her soul returned to her body, her original spirit abilities could be used temporarily, to the extent that she could even use Tang San’s spirit ring’s hundred thousand year abilities. Golden light covered not only her, but at the same time also washed over Tang San, making it questionable whether it was Xiao Wu or Tang San who launched this spirit ability.

  At the same time as the Invincible Golden Body launched, Xiao Wu’s body abruptly grew illusory, once again using spirit abilities. Moreover, this time she directly used two. Nothingness, Instant Kill Eigth Stage Drop.

  Both hands twisted around Tang San’s neck, Xiao Wu bent her right knee, sticking it to Tang San’s waist, then directly flipped him up. Even though the influence of the Invincible Golden Body couldn’t ignore the pressure, it was at least enough to survive unharmed within the pressure for three seconds.

  Hong—— Under the others’ dumbstruck gazes, Xiao Wu forcibly smashed Tang San’s body down between the three hundred twenty fourth and three hundred twenty fifth steps. And Xiao Wu herself also exploited this instant Waist Bow force to abruptly shoot forward, still staying within the range of Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain.

  The tips of her toes hooked. Intense red light spread across both of them, and the Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop attack unfolded.

  Hong, hong, hong, hong, hong, hong——

  In less than three seconds of work, Tang San had been thrown to the ground by Xiao Wu several times in succession, and with each throw, the two of them would be carried forward at least one step by that frightful shock force. As the seventh attack finished, Xiao Wu and Tang San had already reached the three hundred thirty first step.

  If the other Shrek Seven Devils didn’t understand what Xiao Wu wanted to do at the start, then now they saw it in absolute clarity. Under the effect of Invincible Golden Body, Tang San naturally wouldn’t be harmed. And Xiao Wu always launched the attacks within the range of the Blue Silver Domain, and while she herself was in a Nothingness state the influence of the outside pressure on her would be a lot smaller than Tang San’s. This let her complete this spirit ability.

  By the rules of the Seagod’s Light, any attack spirit abilities would be reflected. But Xiao Wu’s attacks weren’t aimed at the Seagod’s Light, and was moreover a throwing ability. Acting on Tang San, they naturally wouldn’t suffer that frightening Seagod’s Light rebound. It was relying on such a peculiar method that Xiao Wu delivered Tang San and herself to the three hundred thirty first step. The distance to the final goal was only two steps.

 
But it was also at this time that Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain effect disappeared…...

  The frightful pressure seeming to hide the sky and cover the earth squeezed the two of them simultaneously. Let alone Xiao Wu, when confronted with such pressure, without the protection of the domain, even Tang San would be shot out into the ring sea by the Seagod’s Light.

  But the instant the Blue Silver Domain appeared, the last stage of Xiao Wu’s Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop was already launching. It was as if she basically hadn’t even noticed that Tang San’s Blue Silver Domain had disappeared. Her whole body erupted with red light, her imposing manner promoting to the peak, grabbing Tang San with both her hands at his chest and waist, then forcefully throwing him towards the three hundred thirty third step.

  At such a moment, Xiao Wu didn’t have even a trace of hesitation. Of course she knew she would only have one chance at this instant. Either she used the momentum of throwing Tang San to push herself to the three hundred thirty third step, or she threw Tang San there. There was no third option. And she practically instinctively reacted to choose the latter. She clearly understood that the moment she three Tang San to the three hundred thirty third step, was also the moment she was rejected by the Seagod’s Light. Without passing the Overcome, Twofold, Seagod’s Light together with Tang San, her first trial would be considered a failure. The only consequence would be death.

  Confronting the moment of life and death, Xiao Wu once again chose to sacrifice herself to defend Tang San.

  As this happened, Tang San, being thrown to the three hundred thirty third step by Xiao Wu, would complete his first Seagod trial. It was also at this moment that Tang San, always being heavily thrown around in Xiao Wu’s hands, suddenly changed.

  Crystalline bright white light abruptly rolled out from Tang San’s body. Indeed, it was like it rolled out to fill the air. In that instant it enveloped him, and also simultaneously enveloped Xiao Wu.

  Xiao Wu only felt her surroundings suddenly chill, her whole body instantly bound by a difficult to describe frightening feeling. All the scenery around her instantly changed. It was no longer green hills and clear water, but rather a sinister Asura world. Desolate chill wind, terrifying and overbearing slaughter flavor, as well as countless howls and shrieks of lamentation instantly engulfed her mind. Her soul had temporarily returned to her original body, and really wasn’t stable. Further adding the enormous pressure of the Seagod’s Light, in front of such suddenly appearing energy, she couldn’t even accomplish any resistance. Her hands grabbing Tang San went rigid, and Tang San about to be thrown to the three hundred thirty third step fell on the three hundred thirty second.

  And the next instant, the terrifying Seagod’s Light energy instantly erupted. Xiao Wu was once again unable to control her body, and was about to be shot off like an artillery shell.

  But just at this moment, that terrifying white light suddenly spread out, two sparkling and translucent golden blue rays of light twisting around her waist.

  Those golden blue rays of light suddenly tightened, issuing a series of cracking sounds, and Xiao Wu saw it had reached its limit.

  Different from the golden blue color when using the Blue Silver Domain, right now Tang San’s whole body was covered in white, a white without the slightest vitality. There was only endless killing intent and desire for murder. It was like this white world, filled with a terrifying ice cold.

  The surrounding white suddenly shifted, spinning with incomparable speed. And all that white light also instantly merged into this rotation like a sharp blade. An ear piercing whistle as frightening as if it came from Hell. The boundless killing intent merged together with the white light within that frightening whirl, as if cutting everything in the surroundings.

  That originally so frightening pressure from the Seagod’s Light suddenly disappeared. The golden blue light beams pulled, throwing Xiao Wu into an ice cold embrace. An ice cold voice echoed by her ear,

  “If you died, would there be any meaning even if I passed all the Seagod nine trials?”

  The pressure of the Seagod’s Light seemed to be completely cut apart in this instant, and as it happened, what was severed only turned into a part of that white light. Most peculiar was that the frighteningly rotating white light actually didn’t trigger the Seagod’s Light’s rebound attack. Or perhaps, the Seagod’s Light couldn’t react.

  A shattering sound came from behind Tang San’s back. Held tightly in Tang San’s arms, Xiao Wu could barely manage to see through the corners of her eyes, behind Tang San were countless golden fragments. And the two of them spun among these fragments, stepping across the final step.

  That white light was doubtlessly Tang San’s Deathgod Domain. Always bearing patiently until the final moment, Tang San used its true power.

  It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use it before, but rather that this evolved Deathgod Domain consumed a horrifying amount of spirit power. Having already been severely exhausted, using it, Tang San could only persist for a very short moment. If he used it ahead of time, it would be no more use than quenching thirst with poison.

  The white world Xiao Wu felt was precisely the Deathgod Domain’s evolved ability, Asura Hell[1]. Just like the Blue Silver Domain’s evolved ability Boundless Nature, under the effect of Spirit Avatar, Tang San’s Asura Hell wasn’t as simple as the original Deathgod Domain.

  Even though Asura Hell and Boundless Nature were equally domains, their focus differed enormously. Possessing the draining golden threads ability, Boundless Nature focused more on amplification, confusing and weakening the opponent. But the Deathgod Domain’s Asura Hell only focused on one kind of ability, destruction. Destruction of everything within the domain. Killing intent would turn truly substantial within Asura Hell, transforming into a frightening attack. Even the Seagod’s Light’s enormous power would be cut to pieces within the suddenly unfolding Asura Hell.

  That rapidly rotating terrifying white light filled with sharp whistles was the ability that arose after Asura Hell evolved —— Asura Revolving Circular Killing Formation. The pinnacle of the art of slaughter.

  In order to fully use his final trump card, in order to ensure Xiao Wu completed the trial at the same time as him, the instant Tang San was about to be thrown to the three hundred thirty third step, he released the Deathgod Domain’s Asura Hell, and simultaneously also released his Eight Spider Lances. That final push was not only the Asura Revolving Circular Killing Formation, but also came at the cost of shattering the Eight Spider Lances. It was also the power of the Eight Spider Lances that allowed Tang San to fully use the Asura Revolving Circle Killing Formation.

  After all, the Deathgod Domain was the innate domain of the Clear Sky Hammer, and its power would be decreased substantially when uses with the Blue Silver Emperor’s Spirit Avatar. But just like the effect of fusing with the Blue Silver Domain, the Eight Spider Lances also evolved to completely fuse with the Deathgod Domain. Under the influence of Asura Hell, the Eight Spider Lances transformed into Asura Lances, becoming Tang San’s most powerful weapons. Tang San sacrificed the eight Asura Lances and exploited the energy of their destruction to guide his last spirit power to arouse the Asura Revolving Circle Killing Formation, simultaneously pushing him and Xiao Wu to the three hundred thirty third step. And right now his back, where Xiao Wu couldn’t see, was already completely mangled and mutilated, the shattered fragments of the Asura Lances exposing the white bones.

  All pressure melted away like ice and snow the instant they set foot on the three hundred thirty third step. And Tang San’s body also fell limp in Xiao Wu’s embrace, warm blood almost instantly dying the stairs red beneath him.

  “Ge, ge, don’t scare me…….”

  Xiao Wu’s voice trembled. At the same time as the pressure disappeared, Tang San’s arms wrapped tightly around her also went limp. The eyes originally filled with deathly stillness and killing intent instantly turned grey, his whole body seeming to instantly lose all vitality and soul. Co
mpletely hanging on Xiao Wu.

  Even so, a faint mild smile still hung on Tang San’s face, his rough voice brimming with affection echoing by Xiao Wu’s ear,

  “The….. sacrifice….. that time…… gave me……. a lifetime of regret…… I said…… I would….. protect you. As long as…… I’m…… still…… not dead. This…… time……. I did it……. How could I……. let…….. you……. sacrifice for…… me……. again….. eh? ……. Silly, don’t……. cry…….”

  The instant Tang San lost the ability to support himself and collapsed in Xiao Wu’s arms, a ray of red light shot out from Xiao Wu’s brow, flashing and disappearing. At the same instant, seven lines of clearly visible golden light converged in the air, completely illuminating the night sky like daylight. They gathered above everyone, then suddenly, converged into one abundant stream and fell, enveloping Tang San and Xiao Wu.

  Enveloped in that golden light, Tang San’s limp body hanging in Xiao Wu’s arms slowly stood straight. His eyes closed tightly, and the golden trident on his forehead blossomed with resplendent light. That golden light spread down from Tang San’s forehead like threads and strands, flowing into his whole body. Where it passed, Tang San’s skin seemed to tremble, and the horrifying wounds on his back healed with speed visible to the naked eye. A golden light screen shattered in front of Tang San, turning into specks of golden light that flowed into Tang San’s body at the same time as the light flowing from the golden trident.

  A deep dignified voice echoed in his mind:

  “Overcome, Twofold, Seagod’s Light, trial passed. Refusing to abandon comrades in the face of danger, self sacrifice in the face of desperate straits. Unwavering, unswerving without losing farsightedness. First trial complete, Seagod affinity raised five percent, presently at five percent overall.”
