"You little bastard! You're looking for death!!!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo finally came back to his senses from his boundless shock and rage!
In front of him, Xuan Ming actually killed Yu Yuanzhen!
This is simply rubbing his and the entire Elders' Hall's face into the ground!
He no longer cared about his status or strategy. His terrifying level 98 soul power erupted, and his martial spirit, the Golden Crocodile King, possessed him. His body expanded, and with a punch carrying the terrifying force of shattering mountains, he struck Xuan Ming directly! He wanted to kill Xuan Ming on the spot!
Xuan Ming's eyes focused, and the light of the Ice and Fire Dragon Crown flashed again. The extreme cold field was fully activated, and countless pieces of ice condensed in an instant, trying to freeze the Golden Crocodile Douluo!
However, the strength of Golden Crocodile Douluo is far beyond that of Yu Yuanzhen!
The power of the Golden Crocodile King was so overwhelming that the ice only hindered him for a moment before being forcibly shattered!
The Xuan Ming Blood Spear stabbed quickly, and combined with the power of ice, it fought back and forth with the furious Golden Crocodile Douluo for a while. It even gained the upper hand by relying on the extreme cold restraint and strange body movements. The ice spikes left white marks on the Golden Crocodile's body!
At the moment when Golden Crocodile Douluo shattered the ice and rushed forward again with monstrous rage, the Ice and Fire Dragon Crown on Xuan Ming's forehead shone brightly, but that was not the power of extreme cold, but a spiritual fluctuation as vast as the sea and as majestic as a mountain!
Relying on the terrifying mental boost brought by the power of the dragon soul, he instantly communicated with another artifact!
A crystal clear blue triangular shadow flashed out from his palm, instantly enlarged, and turned into a huge blue light shield, covering the Golden Crocodile Douluo who was rushing towards him!
This is one of the four major skills of the Hanhai Qiankun Cover, the Qiankun Dingshen Cover!
Once this shield appears, it is not a physical confinement, but a direct effect on the soul and spirit!
Golden Crocodile Douluo only felt an irresistible force pressing down on his soul in an instant. His violent charge came to an abrupt halt, and the surging level 98 soul power in his body seemed to be frozen, unable to mobilize at all.
He was frozen in place, unable to move even a finger. Only his eyes, filled with shock, anger, and disbelief, could move, staring at Xuan Ming.
He, a dignified peak Douluo at level 98, was completely suppressed by a junior in such a weird way!
Xuan Ming's eyes were cold, and his figure flashed and appeared in front of the immobilized Golden Crocodile Douluo.
He did not use the blood spear, but slowly raised his right hand.
"This slap," Xuan Ming's voice was calm but contained a biting chill, "is for the time you hit Nana in Wuhun City!"
Before he finished speaking, he swung his arm, carrying with him the anger and heartache that had accumulated for countless days, and slapped the Golden Crocodile Douluo's face covered with golden scales!
"Pah!"
The crisp and loud sound of a slap echoed throughout the silent square, and the hearts of all the onlookers skipped a beat!
A peak Douluo was slapped in public!
This is more humiliating than killing him!
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes instantly became bloodshot, and the humiliation and rage almost broke through the restraints of the Qiankun Calming Shield, but he was unable to break free.
Xuan Ming slapped him back with another even more severe slap!
"This time, I'm doing this for your careful care while I was at the offering hall!"
The slap was so powerful that it caused Golden Crocodile Douluo's head to tilt violently, and even a trace of golden blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. The soul power in his body was violently shaken by this blow.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Ming raised his hand again, and all his strength and mental pressure were concentrated in this palm!
"And this last one." Xuan Ming's voice suddenly rose, full of unquestionable majesty and protection. At the same time, he looked at Bibi Dong who was in a stalemate with Qianjun Jiangmo.
"Bang!!!!"
The third slap was like a thunderclap, landing firmly on the face of Golden Crocodile Douluo.
The powerful force even knocked his immobilized body slightly off the ground, and tiny cracks appeared on the scales on half of his cheek!
Three slaps that resounded through the sky not only hit Golden Crocodile Douluo's face, but also completely shattered his dignity as a peak-level Douluo at level 98 and the second-in-command of the Elder Hall!
The rage brought about by the extreme humiliation even temporarily overwhelmed the suppressive power of the Qiankun Calming Shield on the soul.
The soul power in Golden Crocodile Douluo's body was like a volcano about to erupt, madly attacking the invisible spiritual cage.
At the same time, forcibly activating the Vast Sea Universe Cover and controlling the dragon soul spiritual power that far exceeded his own capacity also brought huge backlash to Xuan Ming.
The light of the Ice and Fire Dragon Crown on his forehead flickered rapidly, becoming flickering. His face turned pale in an instant, and veins bulged at his temples, sending waves of sharp pain like needles pricking him.
"Ugh..." Xuan Ming groaned. The violent fluctuation of his mental power made it impossible for him to perfectly maintain the stability of the Qiankun Dingshen Shield.
The blue light shield flickered violently and became illusory and uncertain.
At this moment of loosening——
"roar--!!!"
A deafening crocodile roar, filled with boundless rage and murderous intent, suddenly erupted from the light shield!
Golden Crocodile Douluo seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the terrifying level 98 soul power that had been suppressed to the extreme burst out like a flood!
"Break it for me!!!"
Boom!
The Qiankun Calming Shield could no longer withstand the crazy impact from inside and outside, and instantly shattered into countless blue light spots and dissipated in the air.
The Golden Crocodile Douluo who escaped from the trap had changed drastically in appearance.
His already burly body swelled again, and his entire body was covered with extremely thick scales that shone with dazzling golden light. A huge crocodile tail several meters long and covered with bone spurs swung fiercely behind him, smashing a deep pit in the ground.
His hands completely transformed into huge crocodile claws, his fingertips as sharp as knives, emitting a cold light that could tear everything apart.
The most horrifying thing was his eyes, which had turned completely blood red, with only the most primitive and crazy desire to kill and the rage to tear Xuan Ming into pieces!
The true form of the martial soul - the Golden Crocodile King!
"You little bastard! I'm going to cut you into pieces!"
The Golden Crocodile Douluo who activated his martial spirit's true form was more than twice as powerful as before!
The violent pressure was like a real tsunami, spreading wildly in all directions, making it almost impossible for the soul masters in the distance to breathe, and they retreated in horror.
His huge golden crocodile claws carried the terrifying power to tear the sky apart. Without any skill, only the purest and most brutal power, he slapped Xuan Ming on the head, who was stiffened by the backlash of his mental power!
"Have you had enough fun?" asked the Ice Dragon King softly.
Xuan Ming sighed, "I'll leave it to you."
In an instant, the color in Xuan Ming's eyes faded and turned into pure ice blue!
An extreme chill that was far older and colder than before, as if it came from the beginning of time, erupted from his body!
The pressure of the demigod-level dragon soul descends unscrupulously!
He slowly raised his hand and pointed lightly at the huge golden crocodile king's true body.
There was no flashing soul ring, no earth-shaking momentum.
There was only an extremely tiny stream of ice-blue light, which seemed to have crossed the space and instantly hit the real body of the Golden Crocodile King.
The next moment, under the gaze of countless terrified eyes—
The real body of the Golden Crocodile King, which was as huge as a mountain and had terrifying defensive power, was quickly covered by a layer of crystal clear black ice that exuded the aura of absolute zero, starting from the head, at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Just a moment to breathe!
The second-in-command of the Spirit Hall, who had dominated the continent for nearly a hundred years, the ninety-eighth-level powerful attack system Titled Douluo Golden Crocodile Douluo, along with his spirit body, was completely frozen into a giant ice sculpture!
Maintaining the forward-charging posture, he froze in the square in front of the Pope's Palace!
The sunlight shines on the ice sculpture, reflecting a cold and dead light.
In the entire Wuhun City, time seemed to have completely stopped at this moment.
Everyone was frozen in place as if under a spell, with only boundless fear and disbelief on their faces.
Dead silence!
Absolute dead silence!
At the foot of Pope Mountain, tens of thousands of soul masters seemed to have been deprived of their voices at this moment, leaving only the heavy and suppressed breathing sounds, and the soul-shaking extreme chill emanating from the huge ice sculpture of the Golden Crocodile King.
The sunlight falling on the crystal ice sculptures not only fails to bring any warmth, but instead adds a bit of weirdness and coldness.
The ninety-eighth level Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second-in-command of the Spirit Hall, arguably the continent's top powerhouse... was just... frozen like that?!
One move?!
Didn't even see any soul skills?!
What kind of power is that?! A miracle?!
Countless gazes moved dully back and forth between the ice sculpture and the black-robed youth, filled with fear, awe, and complete confusion.
On the high platform, the composure on the faces of the two priests, Qianjun and Jiangmo, had long disappeared, replaced by unprecedented solemnity and a hint of... fear!
They stared at Xuan Ming, trying to see through the essence of that power, but they only felt it was unfathomable, like facing a vast icy abyss!
The four Douluo, Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, Snake Spear, and Thorny Porpoise, subconsciously took half a step back. The Qi lock had long been lifted, and only instinctive vigilance and horror remained.
They couldn't understand how a young boy could burst out with such power beyond cognition!
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chenxin looked at each other and saw great shock in each other's eyes.
Sword Douluo's hand had been pressed on the Seven Killing Sword, but at this moment his knuckles were slightly white.
He asked himself, even if he used all his strength under Ning Fengzhi's amplification, it would be impossible to break the terrifying defense of Golden Crocodile Douluo!
However, Xuan Ming froze the golden crocodile so easily!
This power has already exceeded the scope of Titled Douluo!
Over at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang had already collapsed to the ground, his eyes empty as he muttered unconsciously, "Impossible... God..."
Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, blood flowing out through his fingers without him noticing. It turned out that the goal he had been chasing for a long time had already reached a height that he could not understand.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and others were pale and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
Especially Dai Mubai, who was afraid that Xuan Ming would notice him at this time.
Everyone in the Royal Fighting Team, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing... They looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, their worries having long been replaced by boundless shock.
Especially Dugu Yan, she finally understood why her grandfather valued Xuan Ming so much and even... had a hint of awe.
Hu Liena stared blankly, her red lips slightly parted, feeling mixed emotions.
The Spirit Hall Academy team, including Xie Yue, Yan and others, who were surrounded by the palace guards, looked like they were dumbfounded.
The entire Wuhun City seemed to have been paused by the sudden and overwhelming power of the demigod.
"Huh…"
A contemptuous sneer broke the suffocating silence.
The Ice Dragon King, who was controlling Xuan Ming's body, slowly raised his head. His pure ice-blue eyes swept over the elders like Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, who were standing on the platform, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy. His voice was filled with ancient majesty and undisguised mockery:
"Who else?"
These three simple words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
The two priests, Qianjun and Jiangmo, had pale faces. They moved their lips but found that they could not make any sound.
Take action? Even the golden crocodile was instantly frozen, what could they do?
What's more, the other party's unfathomable aura made them tremble from the depths of their souls!
Great offering!
This is the pressure that Qian Daoliu can give them if he gets serious!
The four elders, including Demon Bear, were even more silent, not daring to even breathe.
The Ice Dragon King's gaze swept over the audience below, who had been excited before but were now silent, as well as the palace knights who were trembling with fear with their swords drawn.
"Capture me? Destroy me? Or... do you want my martial spirit?"
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the room, and every word carried a biting chill and immense pressure.
No one dared to answer.
No one dared to move.
All the previous accusations, greed, and murderous intentions directed at Xuan Ming turned into a ridiculous and pale joke in front of the huge ice sculpture of Golden Crocodile Douluo!
In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks seem so vulnerable!
The Ice Dragon King controlled Xuan Ming's body, slowly walked to the ice sculpture, stretched out his hand, and gently patted the cold crocodile head.
"Go get some sleep, old crocodile."
After saying this, he no longer looked at anyone, turned around, and walked step by step towards Bibi Dong on the high platform, who was still vaguely locked by Qianjun Demon-Subduing Aura.
Wherever he passed, the two priests Qianjun and Jiangmo subconsciously restrained their breath, and even slightly turned sideways, not daring to stop him!
He walked up to Bibi Dong, looking at her with his icy blue eyes. His voice regained some of Xuan Ming's original tone, but still carried a cold tone: "It's okay."
Bibi Dong's beautiful face still maintained the majesty of the Pope, but her slightly trembling fingertips revealed her inner unrest.
This is the former... God?
